Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons; mo
13、st of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration (迁移) is probably the migration
14、 of the fish, which is called “salmon“. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is cold, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their
15、 mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move to the seaside and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster (龙虾). Every year, when the season of the bad weather arrives,
16、the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go.So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we dont. Maybe living things just like to travel.31 The maj
17、ority of animals migrate for_.（A）place（B） safety（C） food（D）warmth32 Salmon is known as a creature spending most of its life in_.（A）warm water（B） fresh water（C） cold water（D）salt water33 Mice in northern Europe go away from homes when_.（A）they are short of food（B） there is not enough space（C） its get

19、rn Europe（D）migrating of lobsters35 The old-fashioned general store is fast disappearing. This is, perhaps, a pity, because shopping today seems to lack that personal element which existed when the shopkeeper knew all his regular customers personally. He could, for instance, remember which brand of
20、tea Mrs. Smith usually bought or what sort of washing powder Mrs. Jones preferred. Not only was the shop a center of buying and selling, but a social meeting place.A prosperous general store might have employed four or five assistants, and so there were very few problems in management as far as the
21、staff were concerned. But now that the supermarket has replaced the general store, the job of the manager has changed completely. The modern supermarket manager has to cope with a staff of as many as a hundred, apart from all the other everyday problems of running a large business. Every morning the
22、 manager must, like the commander of an army division, carry out an inspection of his store to make sure that everything is ready for the business of the day. He must see that everything is running smoothly. He will have to give advice and make decisions as problems arise; and he must know how to ge
23、t his huge staff to work efficiently with their respective responsibilities. No matter what he has to do throughout the day, however, the supermarket manager must be ready for any emergency that may arise. They say in the trade that you are not really an experienced supermarket manager until you hav
24、e dealt with a flood, a fire, a birth and a death in your store.36 The main purpose of the passage is to show_.（A）how the supermarket has replaced the old general store（B） how the old-fashioned general store is fast disappearing（C） how supermarket managers run modern supermarkets（D）how supermarket m
25、anagers deal with problems every morning37 It is a pity that there are fewer old general stores now because_.（A）there is less trading business（B） there used to be more social activities in the old days（C） supermarket manager has more problems（D）there is less personal contact between manager and cust
26、omer38 Who are Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Jones mentioned in the first paragraph?（A）Shop assistants.（B） Friends of the shop managers.（C） Two regular customers of the store.（D）Two regular customers of the supermarket.39 How has the job of the store manager changed?（A）He doesnt sell tea or washing powder any
27、 more.（B） He must try hard to remember the names of the regular customers.（C） He has to give advice and make decisions when problems arise.（D）He has to take care of a large staff as well as business.40 The author compared the supermarket manager to_.（A）a military leader（B） a school inspector（C） traf
28、fic supervisor（D）an orchestra conductor40 In everyday usage “hot“ means “having a lot of heat“. Many people think that “cold“ is something completely separated from heat. But this is not true. Cold simple means “having very little heat“. Your life depends on heat. In fact, every living thing depends
29、 on it. Without heat, every living thing would be frozen to death. All living things get their heat from the sun, which provides the conditions in which life is possible.Since before the dawn of history, man has been able to make his own heat. He has been able to release the suns heat that is trappe
30、d in things such as wood, coal and oil. And he has been able to use this heat.Heat has made civilization possible. With heat, man could melt metals. As man learned to use metals and fuels, industries grew. As a result, engines were invented. These are machines that change heat energy into mechanical
31、 energy. Engines can do the work of many men. Without engines industrial civilization is impossible.Yet when the first engines were built in the 17th century, men were still wondering about the nature of heat. “What is it?“ they asked. Not until the early years of the 19th century did they find the
32、right answer.41 In everyday usage, “hot“ means_.（A）the weather is fine and it is summer（B） one has a temperature（C） having a great deal of heat（D）very little heat42 Your life depends on heat. The sentence means_.（A）in the cold season human beings will die（B） one usually builds his life on fire（C） th
33、e more heat one has, the better（D）it is impossible for man to live without heat43 “ He has been able to release the suns heat that is trapped in things such as wood, coal and oil“. From this sentence we know_.（A）man can get heat from things like wood, coal and oil（B） man can not get the heat directl
34、y from the sun（C） only wood, coal and oil have heat（D）all the suns heat is trapped in things44 Which of the following is true?（A）Without engines civilization is impossible.（B） Without engines we have no industrial civilization.（C） Engines came before civilization.（D）Engines came before man knew how
35、to use heat.45 From the last two sentences, we can see_.（A）men have never found the nature of heat（B） men found the nature of heat in the 17 th century（C） men found the nature of heat in the 19th century（D）men found the nature of heat before the 19 th century45 People have been fond of roses since t
36、he beginning of time. In fact, it is said that the wise and knowing Confucius had a 600-book library specifically on how to care for roses.The rose is a legend on its own. The story goes that during the Roman Empire, there was a beautiful girl named Rhodanthe. Her beauty drew many suitors (求婚者). Exh
37、austed by their pursuit, Rhodanthe was forced to hide in the temple of her friend Diana to stay away from her suitors. Unfortunately, Diana became jealous. And when the suitors broke down her temple gates to get near their beloved Rhodanthe, she became angry, turning Rhodanthe into a rose and her su
38、itors into thorns.In Greek legend, the rose was created by Chloris, the Greek goddess of flowers. It was just a lifeless seed that Chloris found one day in a clearing in the woods. She asked Aphrodite, the goddess of love, to give her beauty, Dionysus, the god of wine, to give her a sweet scent (气味)
39、 , and the three Graces to give her charm, brightness and joy. Then Zephyr, the West Wind, blew away the clouds so that Apollo, the sun god, could shine and make this flower blossom. And so the rose was born and was immediately called the Queen of Flowers.The first true primary red rose seen in Euro
40、pe was introduced in 1792 from China, where it had been growing wild in the mountains. Immediately, rose breeders began using it to make a hybrid (杂交品种). Absolute perfection still hasnt been gained, and of course never will!There is a special rose language invented as a secret means of communication
41、 between lovers who were not allowed to express their love for one another openly. In the mid-18th century the wife of the British ambassador in Constantinople described this in her letters, which were published after her death. These letters inspired many books on the language of flowers, each desc
42、ribing the secret message hidden in each flower. A red rose bud (花蕾) stands for secret affection, an open white rose asks “Will you love me?“, an open red rose means “Im full of love and desire“, while an open yellow rose asks “Dont you love me anymore?“46 The author takes Confucius as an example in
43、 Para. 1 to show_.（A）roses mysteries（B） Confucius broad knowledge（C） roses impact on human beings（D）peoples love for roses47 We can learn from Para. 2 that_.（A）Rhodanthe was quite clever（B） Rhodanthe didnt expect Dianas jealousy（C） many of Rhodanthes suitors were shy（D）Rhodanthe felt proud to have s
44、o many suitors48 In Greek legend, the rose _.（A）was brought into the woods by Zephyr（B） should owe its sweet smell to Dionysus（C） got sunshine from the goddess of love（D）got her brightness from Aphrodite49 The underlined word “this“ in the last paragraph means_.（A）the description of Confuciuss care
45、for roses（B） communication between lovers（C） a special rose language（D）the roses legend50 A red rose bud means “_“.（A）I dont love you anymore（B） Id like to express my love openly（C） Im longing for your love（D）I have no hopes for love二、Cloze50 Anne-Marie Garrard was shocked when it was announced that
