16、 1】 D 【小题 1】 B 阅读理解 When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所 ). I suggested that they should stay at bed and breakfast houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign
17、 visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories. “We didnt stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.” I thought this was strange. Finally I understood
18、what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought VACANCIES meant holidays, because the Spanish word for holidays” is vacaciones. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said VACANCLES, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the
19、 sign said NO VACANCLES, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels! We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word
20、DIVERSION means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word DIVERSION on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hold. English people have problems too when they

Peter Corbett helped Mark Wellman out of his wheelchair and onto the ground. They stood before El Capitan, a huge mass of rock almost three-quarters of a mile high in Califo
26、rnias beautiful Yosemite Valley. It had been Marks dream to climb El Capitan for as long as he could remember. But how could a person without the use of his legs hope to try to climb it Mark knew he couldnt finish the climb alone, but his friend Peter, an expert rock climber, would be there to lend
27、a helping hand. He and Mark thought that it would take seven days to reach the top. Peter climbed about 100 feet up and hammered a piton(岩钉 ) into the rock. Fastening one end of a 165-foot rope to the piton, he let one end of the rope fall down. Mark caught the rope and fastened it to his belt with
28、a special instrument. This instrument would allow Mark to move upward, but would prevent him from falling even as much as a single inch. He next reached above his head and fastened a T-shaped bar to the rope, using the same kind of instrument. Mark took a deep breath, pushed the T-bar up almost as f
29、ar as his arms could reach, and began the first of the 7, 000 pull-ups needed to reach the top. High above, Peter let out a cheer. “Youre on your way.” Seven years before, at the age of twenty-one, Mark had fallen while mountain climbing, injuring his backbone. The fall cost him the use of his legs,
30、 but he never lost his love of adventure or his joyful spirit. For the first four days the two men progressed steadily upward without incident. But on the fifth day an unbearably hot wind began to blow, and as time went by, it became stronger and stronger, causing Mark to sway(摇摆 ) violently on his
31、rope. But Mark kept on de terminedly pushing up the T-bar and pulling himself up. In spite of that, he had to admit that he felt a lot better when the wind finally died down and his body touched solid rock again. It took them one day more than they had expected, but on July 26 at 1:45 in the afterno
32、on, the crowd of people waiting on the top went wild with joy as the two heads appeared. Mark Wellman had shown that if you set your heart and mind on a goal, no wall is too high, no dream impossible. 【小题 1】 What had Mark Wellman long desired to do A To finish one of the most difficult rock climbs i
33、n the world. B To be the first to climb El Capitan. C To climb the highest mountain in California.

B He fell during his first attempt on El Capitan. C His legs were broken by falling rocks. D Wh

38、ng colour according to the amount of light strikes it To find out, biologists kept crabs in a dark room for two months. Even without daylight, the crabs skin colour continued to change exactly on time. This characteristic probably developed gradually in answer to the daily rising and setting of the
39、sun, to help protect the crab from sunlight and enemies. After millions of years it has become completely regulated (受控制 ) inside the living body of the crab. The biologists noticed that once each day the colour of the fiddler crab is especially dark, and that each day this happens fifty minutes lat
40、er than on the day before. Fro m this they discovered that each crab follows not only the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tides (潮水 ). The crabs period of greatest darkening is exactly the time of low tide on the beach where it was caught! 【小题 1】 The fiddler crab is like a clock because it ch

45、fter a snake bite in order to save their lives. “I was greatly upset by the story of an old farmer I met. It was a very hot afternoon. The old man was pulling grass in his fields when he felt a pain in his left hand. He at once realized he had been bitten by a poisonous snake. In no time he wrapped
46、a cloth tightly around his arm to stop the poison spreading to his heart. Rushing home he shouted Bring me the knife!
