An English Speech Contest.In the past 200 years,the earths temperature has increased greatly.Its reported that a marked increase in the temperature of about 0.7 appeared at the end of last century.Some scientists think mini-umbrellas(微型伞)might reduce the global(全球的)temperature.Building a single umbrella,which is big enough to cover the whole earth,seems to be impossible.Roger Angel,a scientist from the USA,has carried out research to deal with this problem.He came up with an idea of mini-umbrellas.In fact,each mini-umbrella is made up of two parts,a spaceship and a sunshade(遮阳篷).A spaceship weighing about 1g would carry a sunshade that is half a meter long.It would be mostly transparent.That means light can pass it directly to reach the earth,with lands and oceans clearly in view.Pressure(压力)from the sunlight would keep the little spaceships in position around the earth at a distance of about 1.5 million kilometers.As a result,sending over 1,000 billion mini-umbrellas into space would reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the earth.This allows sunlight to be reflected(反射)back to space easily,causing the temperature of the earths ground to fall off.Covering large areas of the earth,mini-umbrellas together could reflect 1.8 percent of sunlight back.In Rogers plan,scientists will send up 800,000 mini-umbrellas at a time,20 million times in all during ten years.Scientists suggest the earliest launch could be in just 16 years.Not all the scientists agree with the idea.Some suppose there should be easier and much cheaper ways to prevent the earth from getting too hot,such as to slow down the pollution people bring and to reduce the human activities.Whatever the result of the argument is,this idea of mini-umbrellas in space is certainly creative.27 . The underlined word“transparent”here probably means “”.A透明的B透气的C透风的28 . Pictureshows the right information about the mini-umbrellas.ABC29 . After scientists send over 1,000 billion mini-umbrellas into space,.Apressure from the sunlight would allow the mini-umbrellas to be reflected back to space easilyBthe mini-umbrellas would reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the earthCsunlight would never come into the earth30 . Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?AScientists suggest that the earliest launch could be in just 16 years.BA spaceship weighing about 1g would carry a sunshade.CRoger will send up 800,000 mini-umbrellas into space during 20 years.31 . The best title for this passage should be.ATHE TEMPERATURE OF THE EARTHBA MINI-UMBRELLA PLANCCHEAPER WAYS TO PREVENT THE POLLUTIONDear Edward,How are you doing? I just visited Machu Picchu in Peru today. Ive never seen such a great place before. This place is so amazing that I want to share my feelings with you.When I first got to Machu Picchu, I felt like I was walking in the sky. Even the clouds were just under my feet. Do you know how high Machu Picchu is? I was surprised that it was at about 2,500m. How could people build a city on such a high mountain? It must have been very difficult to move stones there.Before the Europeans arrived, the Incas (印加人) were the last and the most modern society in the Andes (安第斯山). The Incas were afraid that the Spanish would find them, so they built Machu Picchu on an Andes plain (平地) as a secret city in the 14th or 15th century. As a result, the Spanish never found Machu Picchu.An American explorer discovered Machu Picchu in 1911. For a long time before that, nobody even knew Machu Picchu was there. After Machu Picchu was found, it was called “The Lost City of the Incas”. It is still a mystery why and how Machu Picchu was left and forgotten by everyone.I just had a wonderful day. Especially, I will never forget the “goodbye boy” who was a local boy dressed in traditional Inca clothes. When we went down the mountain by bus, the boy waved goodbye to us until we were out of sight (视线). He shouted some words at us too, and I guess, it meant, “Goodbye, come back again soon!” Why dont you visit Machu Picchu someday? I am sure you will love this place as much as I do.Yours truly,Lynn32 . Why did the Incas build Machu Picchu on an Andes plain?ABecause they were modern and rich.BBecause there were too many Incas.CBecause the view on the Andes was beautiful.DBecause they wanted to protect themselves from the Spanish.33 . Which of the statement about Machu Picchu is NOT right?AIt was about 2,500m high.BIt was difficult to move the stones to build Machu Picchu.CAn American found the secret city in the 14th or 15th century.DIts a mystery that nobody knew Machu Picchu was there until 1911.34 . From the underlined sentence in the last paragraph, we know the “goodbye boy” was _.AfriendlyBpoorCshyDhard-working35 . The purpose of Lynn to write the letter is _.Ato show the beauty of Machu PicchuBto study the history of Machu PicchuCto share his valuable moment with EdwardDto remember the “goodbye boy”四、完成句子四.完成句子：根所给中文童思，完成下列各句。36 . 我通常6点起床。I usually _ atsixoclock.37 . 你的裤子是什么颜色的？_ yourpants?38 . 你想去看电影吗？Doyouwant_ ?39 . 安娜会拉小提琴吗？CanAnna_ ?40 . 这双袜子多少钱？_ thispairofsocks?41 . 我大约五点钟到家。I _ ataround_ .42 . 你晚上通常干什么？What_ you _ ?43 . 放学后我的朋友做他的家庭作业。Myfriend_ his_ .44 . 上午她总是在工作。Sheisalways_ inthemorning.45 . 你想了解我的学校生活吗？_ youwant_ myschoollife?46 . 请写信告诉我你早晨的情况。Please_ and _ yourmorning.47 . 这个男孩很喜欢吃蔬菜。Theboy_ verymuch.48 . 我们应该吃健康食品。Weshouldeat_ .49 . 至于甜食，我喜欢吃冰棋淋。Ilikeeatingice-cream,_ .50 . 在学校里，我有很多朋友。AtschoolIhave_ friends.五、用单词的正确形式完成短文阅读下面短文，用方框内所给词汇的适当形式填空，使短文语义完整。brave say use at sound from also good ask interestI often hear some students51 .

You may fail in an exam if you are lazy for most of the year and then work hard only a few days before the exam. If you are taking an English exam, do not only learn rules of grammar.Try to read stories in English and speak English whenever you can. A few days before the exam you should start going to bed early. Do not stay up late at night studying and learning things. Before you start to answer the questions, read carefully over the question paper. Try to understand the exact meaning of each question before you pack up your pen to write. When you have at last finished your exam, read over your answers. Correct the mistakes if there are any mistakes and make sure that you have not missed anything out.61 .
