difficulty in getting the mule（骡）1 the hut.Then he 2 up to the top of the hill and 3 there,watching.The desert seemed empty,but he knew that it was not so.Someone was there,waiting.He went back to the house.Maquita brought some food 4 the table.As he ate,Jesse was thinking deeply,taking little 5 of the lady.Her face was small and covered with dirt and dust.Her hair was 6 dirty golden colour,tied up with bits of string.Jesse hardly looked at her as she sat there at the table,yet he felt 7 that she was glad that he had stayed.The meal was finished;they left the table.She 8 as if to look at him;“Jesse,how old are you?”“Thats a strange thing to ask me,”he said.“No woman 9 asked me that before.I think Im about eighteen.”They were now standing quite 10 to each other.Jesse had been travelling 11 weeks in the dry,waterless desert:he carried with him the 12 of those unwashed places.“Jesse,”she said,“you seem to think that theres nothing 13 as important as gold,dont you?Well,let me tell you that there are things which are 14 more important.Cleanliness is one of them.”He was so surprised 15 he could find no answer.“Over there by the door,Jesse,we 16 a pot of water for use in case

Scotsman will tell you,it certainly is not.In fact,until the eighteenth century Scotland was an independent country,with a parliament（议会） of its own.The English had tried many times over many centuries to bring Scotland under their rule.They succeeded at last in 1707,and some Scots have never forgiven them.Scotland is now governed from London,but in some ways it is still a separate nation.It has its own capital city（Edinburgh）,its own law,and its own stamps.It even has a language of its own,spoken now by only a few people in the islands.In some ways Southern Scotland is like England,with its good farmland and low green hills.Central and Northern Scotland（“The Highlands”） have high mountains and deep valleys,fast rivers and cold lakes.These days,of course,there are good roads and railways all through Scotland.Aberdeen,the northeast city where the oil from the North Sea comes to land,is especially easy to reach.But it can still be quite difficult to travel in the winter when the hills are covered with snow.It always takes a long time to visit the beautiful but faraway islands on the west coast.One reason why Scotland has stayed so different from England is the wildness of the land.It has always been difficult to get around there.1.From the history of the Great Britain we can know Scotland _.A.had been an independent country by the 19th centuryB.had been a dependent country by the 18th centuryC.was a separate country before the 18th centuryD.was a dependent country before the 18th century答案：C2.The first paragraph tells us that _.A.the Scots used to fight against the rules from England many timesB.the Scots have never forgiven their own rulersC.the Scots never defeated the English at all the battlesD.it was quite easy for the English to occupy Scotland答案：A3.Scotland has a language of its own,_.A.which is spoken by all the ScotsB.which not many people speak nowC.which is almost the same as the English languageD.which the English prevent from being spoken答案：B4.From the third paragraph we can infer _.A.there are no good roads in Scotland because of high mountainsB.there are no railways in Scotland because of deep valleysC.England has not any rivers or lakes in the center and northD.England has good farmland and low green hills答案：D5.Why doesnt Scotland develop faster than England?A.It has to have the oil carried to land from North Sea.B.Its hills are covered with snow in winter.C.Its beautiful islands are too far off to reach.D.It has much wild land,which makes people reach there with difficulty.答案：DBIt is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents.They say that their parents dont understand them.They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways;that they are too serious and too strict with their children;and that they seldom give their children a free hand.It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their childrens trust and they tend（倾向于） to forget how they themselves felt when young.For example,young people like to act on the spot（=act right away） without much thinking.It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation.Old people worry more easily.Most of them plan things ahead,at least in their minds,and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.When you want your parents to let you do something,you will have better success,if you ask before you really start doing it.Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes,in entertainment and in music.But they do not mean to cause any trouble;it is just that they feel cut off from the older peoples world,into which they have not yet been accepted.Thats why young people want to make a new culture of their own.And if their parents dont like their music of entertainment or clothes or their ways of speech,this will make the young people extremely happy.Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say“yes”to what you do.All you want is to be left alone and do what you like.It is natural enough,after being a child for so many years,when you were completely under your parents control.If you prefer to control your life,youd better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you.If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility,they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.6.This article is particularly written for _.A.parentsB.both parents and their childrenC.young peopleD.teachers答案：C7.According to the text,young people tend to _.A.ask for advice before they really start to do anythingB.do things without thinking carefully aheadC.be very strict with themselvesD.think in the same way as their parents do答案：B8.Young people like to have clothes,entertainment and music in their own way because_.A.they want to make their parents angryB.they try to get their parents into troubleC.they want to try on something new and look different from the older peopleD.they know they are cleverer than the older people答案：C9.According to the text,young people want to make a new culture of their own because _.A.they dont feel they belong to the world of the older peopleB.they dont want to get into troubleC.they feel they are cleverer than the older peopleD.they want to show they have grown up答案：A10.If a young man plans to control his own life,its better for him to do everything _.A.according to his own wishB.in the way his parents doC.under his parents controlD.with a high sense of responsibility答案：DCWe moved slowly through the city in a taxi and entered a crowded slum district（贫民区）.It was very hot and the air was thick with dust and smoke.The streets seemed alive with people, people eating,people washing,people sleeping,people visiting each other,arguing,people pushing their hands through the taxi windows,begging,people relieving themselves,people holding on to the sides of buses,people leading animals.People,people,people,people.As we drove slowly through the crowd,sounding the taxis horn（喇叭）,the dust,heat,noise and cooking fires made it like a scene from Hell.Would we ever get to our hotel?All there of us were,I admit,frightened. Since that night,Ive known what overpopulation feels like.Statistics（统计数字） show that rapid population growth creates problems for developing countries.So why dont people have fewer children?Statistics from the developed countries suggest that it is only when peoples living standards begin to rise that birth rates begin to fall.There are good reasons for this.Poor countries cannot afford social services and old age pensions,and peoples incomes are so low they have nothing to spare for savings.As a result,people look to their children to provide them with security（防御之物） in their old age.Having a large family can be a form of insurance（保证）.And even while they are still quite young,children can do a lot of useful jobs on a small farm.So poor people in a developing country will need to see clear signs of much better conditions ahead before they will think of having smaller families.But their conditions can not be improved unless there is a reduction in the rate at which population is increasing.This will depend on a very much wider acceptance of family planning and this will mean basic changes in attitudes.11.Which of the following is right according to the authors thought?A.Birth rates begin to fall when peoples living standards begin to rise.B.People look to their children to provide them with security in their old age.C.Having a large family can be a form of insurance.D.Their conditions can be improved if the population is increasing.答案：A12.The main purpose of the author is _.A.to describe how crowded the district isB.to warn people not to depend on their children in their old ageC.to tell people that the importance of family controlD.to tell how poor the developing countries are答案：C13.From the underlined “People,people,people,people.” we can guess that the author _.A.was sadB.got sick and tired of so many peopleC.was happyD.was surprised答案：B14.The general idea of the first paragraph is _.A.how busy the slum district isB.how poor the slum district isC.what overpopulation feels likeD.what the slum district is like答案：C15.“Peoples incomes are so low that they have nothing to spare for savings” is the reason for the following except _.A.people look to their children to provide them with security in their old ageB.while they are still quite young,children do a lot of useful jobs on a small farmC.people regard having a large family as a form of insuranceD.their conditions can not be improved答案：DDIn a society such as the United States or Canada,which has many national,religious and cultural differences,people highly value individualismthe differences among people.Teachers place a lot of importance on the qualities that make each student special.The educational systems in these countries show these values.Students do not memorize information.Instead,they work on their own and find answers themselves.There is often discussion in the classroom.At an early age,students learn to form their own ideas and opinions.In most Asian societies,by contrast,the people have the same language,history and culture.Perhaps for this reason,the educational system in these Asian countries reflects societys belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism.Children in China,Japan and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments.There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these systems of education.For example,one advantage to the system in Japan is that students there learn much more math and science than American students learn by the end of high school.They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do.The system is difficult,but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control.There is,however,a disadvantage. Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools,yet many students say that after an exam,they forget much of the information that they have memorized.The advantage of the educational system in North America,on the other hand,is that students learn to think for themselves.The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas.There is,however,a disadvantage.When students graduate from high school,they havent memorized as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have.16.From the passage we learnt that American teachers attach much importance to individualism mainly because _.A.they are required to do soB.their students do not memorize informationC.the United States is a country of different culturesD.their students always work individually答案：C17.Which of the following is most likely a description of Asian methods of education?A.Each child in a classroom draws a different picture.B.Students have to find information themselves.C.Students are prepared for a society that values discipline.D.Teachers serve as a guide in discussion.答案：C18.We can learn from the passage that the author might believe _.A.different educational systems are based on the development level of different countriesB.students from Western countries are creative but selfishC.Asian students are merely interested in math and scienceD.the two different educational systems could be combined together答案：D19.After reading the passage we know the author mainly discusses_.A.how Western school systems mirror the value of individualismB.the advantages and disadvantages of the two educational systemsC.what Asian school should do to make students more creativeD.the different in culture,religion,etc. between the East and the West答案：B.书面表达下面的这幅图描述了水的循环过程。请根据这幅图用英语写一篇科普短文。The Water Cycle_ _ _生词：evaporate v. 蒸发water vapour 水蒸气condense v. 凝结注意：1.短文须包括图的全部内容，并须结合相关学科的知识，使短文内容完整、连贯；2.词数100左右；3.短文的题目The Water Cycle已给出，不计入总词数。答案：The Water CycleThe heat of the sun evaporates water from the oceans,seas,rivers and lakes.Water vapour is formed.This rises and forms clouds in the air.As the clouds rise,they are cooled.The higher they rise,the more they are cooled.This causes more and more water vapour to condense.In this way,the tiny drops of water in the clouds get bigger and bigger until they are heavy enough to fall to the earth as rain.Some of rain water sinks into the ground.It may be used up by thirsty plants.Most of the water goes back to the rivers,seas and oceans.This process called the water cycle then starts all over again.111
