Twenty-year-old Aleck gave the dog a morsel（一口）of food. His hard wok paid off. His dog could talk!Aleck was fascinated with the different sounds of peoples speech. His father taught students who had a speech problem to improve their speech. Aleck paid close attention. Could an animal form sounds into words, too? He decided to experiment with Trouve, the family dog.The easy part was teaching Trouve to growl whenever Aleck wanted. The little dog growled for a morsel of food.Next Aleck moved the dogs “lips as it growled. It sounded like “ma ma ma.” Trouve learned quickly to stop the growling just as Alecks hand moved away. They practiced and practiced until the dog said “ma ma” perfectly.Soon Aleck discovered more. If he pushed gently under the dogs jawbone（下颚骨）, it made the “ga” sound. If he pushed once and moved the dogs lips twice, he could make the dog say, “ga ma ma”. With even more practice, it sounded like “grandmama.” Whenever Trouve said “grandmam,” Aleck gave the god two treats, so Trouve loved the lessons.Aleck tried to teach his dog to move its tongue. So that Trouve could say more words. That didnt work, but Aleck didnt give up.After many hours of practice, Trouve could say, “Ow ah oo ga-ma-ma?” This sounded just like “How are you, Grandmama?”Friends and neighbors traveled to see young Aleck and his amazing talking dog. Rumors spread that the dog could speak by itself, which wasnt true. No matter how much Aleck tried, the dog was never able to move its lips without help.Alecks full name was Alexander Graham Bell. He wanted to know more about the world all his life. He had many ideas. Some worked; others didnt. But he kept tryingalways learning; One of his inventions was something called the telephone.41Which of the following is TRUE of Aleck?AHis father had an influence on him.BHe had a talent for giving speeches.CHe taught Trouve to talk in honor of his grandmother.DHe carried out many experiments to improve peoples speech.42Trouve grew fond of practicing talking because .Ait liked being together with AleckBit was given some food for thatCit would like to develop its potentialDAleck treated it like one of the family43Which of the following words can best describe Aleck?AHumorous.BNaughty.CKnowledgeable.DCurious.44What contributes most to Alecks success in teaching the dog to talk?AHis own hard work.BHis neighbors help.CHis fathers encouragement.DThe dogs smartness.BOne warm day when I was walking in my backyard, I saw a pinecone(松球) on the ground. I picked it up, and some seeds fell out of it. Those seeds would be a tasty treat for a squirrel (松鼠).I realized that pinecones were not always open like this one. Sometimes cones were tightly closed. I decided to find out why.I gathered pinecones from my backyard. I watched them for over a year. Heres what I learned.Pinecones open and close slowly as the weather changes. When its cold or wet, cones are tightly closed. This protects the seeds inside from rain and snow.When the weather becomes warm and dry, pinecones open. On a hot day, you might even hear the sound of cones popping open. The seeds inside may then fall to the ground. The wind may blow the seeds to places where they can grow into new pine trees. A seed has a better chance of taking root and growing when the weather is warm.“Pine seeds are an important source of food for many animals,” says Monty Maldonado. He is a pinecone expert with the United States Forest Service. He says squirrels depend on pinecone seeds for most of their meals. They spend lots of time gathering and storing the cones. Maldonado says some animals eat only the seeds from a pinecone. But red squirrels and gray squirrels will eat the whole thing.Small animals arent the only creatures that eat pine seeds. Maldonado says big grizzly bears (灰熊) and people eat them, too.Seeds inside a pinecone are important for the growth of new trees and as food for animals. It is the pinecones job to protect them. So take note of the pinecones you see on the ground. They hold treasures inside.45According to the passage, when it is rainy, cones .Aare openBare usually shutCgrow quicklyDstop growing46According to Monty Maldonado, .Anot all squirrels eat the whole pineconeBpine seeds are difficult to find for many animalsCpeople in the forest are sometimes attacked by grizzly bearsDmost small animals depend on pinecone seeds for their meals47We can learn from the passage that on sunny days .Aseeds may fall out of the conesBsquirrels stay still in their nestsCits difficult for a seed to take rootDthe wind will put the pine trees in danger48In the last paragraph, the author points out that .Amore and more new trees need to be planted in futureBpeople should be responsible for protecting animalsCpeople should be careful not to damage the pineconesDsquirrels now have few seeds to feed themselves49Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AThe author learned why pinecones are not always open in the forest.BThe author gathered pinecones and observed them for a month.CThe author is fond of gathering and storing the cones.DPine trees are precious to animals and people.CAll over Britain there are ruins of castles that reflect their entire past. Over the years, legends have focused on these castles.Castell CochThis castle was built in the 1870s. Lfor Bach was once the owner of this castle many decades ago, and it is told that he hid a treasure in the nearby tunnel（地道）. Rumors say that it is guarded by three eagles waiting for Lfor to return to collect his treasure. Luffness CastleIn the basement(地下室) of this castle is a huge door leading to a room. The family kept this door open at all times, but one day the door was found locked and the key was missing. The whole family was surprised. The door was so big that it could not be broken down. One day the son of the family shone of a torch the door. He discovered that the key was on the inside of the room. To this day the door remains locked from the inside.Toddington CastleThis castle was built during the 13th century. This castle has a local legend that tells about a witch who was put in prison within the castle and died. It is told that her spirit remains and if you put your ear to the floor at Easter, you can hear her cooking below. Castell GwynionyddA legend rests on this castle that states the devil(魔鬼) was the one who built it. It is said the devil had a problem with some people and had planned on punishing them. On his way, the devil met a cobbler（修鞋匠）.The cobbler pointed out that it was still a reasonable distance until he would reach his destination. The cobbler displayed how many shoes he had worn out. Listening to him, the devil did not think his plan was worth so much effort and gave up his plan. 50Which of the castles mentioned in the passage is said to be guarded by several birds?ACastell Coch.BLuffness Castle.CToddington Castle.DCastell Gwynionydd.51Which of the following castles is related to the legend about a witch?ACastell Coch.BLuffness Castle.CToddington Castle.DCastell Gwynionydd.52We can learn from the passage that .ACastell Coch is said to be built by the devilBCastell Gwynionydd is a great place to celebrate EasterCLuffness Castle was once broken downDToddington Castle dates back to the 13 th centuryDI dont really care how many claws the animal in a comic book (漫画书) has. Im not overly concerned whether the bird is colored green or grey. In fact I dont think comic book “collector” really applies to me at all. Im probably more of a comic book “appreciator”. My interest has always been in what can be accomplished with the medium of “visual story - telling”. In the respect, comic books are the best thing going. And there are some great comics out there.Im not sure exactly where this interest of mine came from. I do know that as a child, comic books allowed me to improve my reading skills. The Mighty Thor made me develop an interest in Norse legends; Challengers of the Unknown got me interested in science fiction. The combination of words and pictures was a perfect springboard (起点) for my childhood imagination.So just how does one learn to appreciate comic book art? There is a classic example. Writer Scott Macloud was philosophical (达观的) about what makes a comic book stand out in his best selling book Understanding Comics. The book, first published in 1994, has been translated into 13 languages and is practically useful for students studying graphic illustration (图示说明).On the Internet there are some cool comic book sites to be found. More than a few are mainly about superheroes and the like. But there are some choice sites that I would describe as “literary (文学的),” in that you can find some great resources that discuss the comic book as an art form. Among them there is a great article and interview at www.rcharvey.com discussing the influence of several artists and writers in the field.Check it out. Spend two dollars on a comic book and read it with your children. You may find yourself enjoying what you see and read. You may even find yourself wanting more.And wanting to read more is a good thing!53According to Para. 1 the author is concerned about .Athe color of the characters in a comic bookBhow many comic books he has collectedCwhat he can learn from a visual storyDwhether a story is true to life54What do we know about Scott Maclouds best selling book?AThere are many classic examples if comic books in it.BIt is helpful 1 for students studying science fiction.CIt suggests what good comic books are like.DIt is mainly intended for parents.55In the passage, the author encourages people to .Afollow the example of superheroes from comic booksBjoin in the discussion at www.rcharvey.comCconsider comic books to be literary.Dbuy and read more comic books56What is the best title for the passage?AChildrens favorite booksBWell known comic booksCComic books cooler than you thinkDHow to become a good comic book writerE Identifying young people with the potential to be great athletes has become a serious, business around the world. Many countries, including Australia, have sophisticated(复杂) programs for identifying and nurturing(培养) talent.The AIS (Australian Institute of Sport) already runs a program that identifies potential winners starting from the age of 12 based on their physical and physiological(生理的) abilities.Could genetics improve these programs? The problem is that no one gene test is ever going to do an accurate job of identifying someone with the physical attributes of a sporting champion, says Professor North.We can think of the elite athlete as what Id call a complex phenotype(表现型), she says. “There are going to be a large number of different genes involved. Any one single test is unlikely to be highly predictive.”Professor Peter Fricker, director of the AIS, agrees. Although he is intrigued in the possibilities of genetic testing, he says using such tests to identify athletes would be difficult. The feeling I have is that it wont be that easy, he says. Talent selection is not just about your genes.Since 2004, the AIS has been forbidden by government from any involvement in genetic work, including genetic testing. But Professor Fricker thinks that is likely to change in the near future. Theres been a shift in view more recently, he says.When it does, the AIS will resume its work on the genetics of sports performance, Professor Fricker says. They would be particularly interested in looking for more genes that might help shape elite performance, but also for genes that increase the risk of injury.Last year, the Human Genetics Society of Australasia issued a position statement on gene testing for sport, after concerns that people could use tests to steer children into particular sports.“The Human Genetics Society thinks there are not enough data to use these tests for determining what sport kids should do,” said Professor David Thorburn, president of the society.He stressed that genetic tests should not be performed on children, except in very specific medical circumstances.57The aim of the AISs program is to .Apredict how genes are connected with injuries Bfind potential great athletesCfind out what qualities a professor has through gene testsDturn an athlete into a champion by transferring genes58By saying “Talent selection is not just about your genes”, Fricker means .Aeffort is more important than genes in most casesByou cant choose an athlete just depending on genesCto research ones genes takes a long timeDmost people dont believe in genetic tests59The underlined word “resume” in Para. 7 can be replaced by .Astop BcompleteCreduceDcontinue.60Whats Professor David Thorburns attitude towards genetic tests?AGenetic tests have a negative effect on children.BGenetic tests, under certain conditions, can be conducted on children.CGenetic tests can reduce the risk of athletes injuries.DPeople could use genetic tests to decide what sport kids should take.第二节：根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Im standing in the center of Plymouth, the capital of Montserrat, where just one week ago, a volcanic eruption took place. With me is Savage, the officer of the island. Savage, thank you for talking to us.Youre Welcome. 61 Well, the volcano erupted, and the ash and lava poured down the mountain towards the sea. And there are several villages in path. 62 No. Luckily, we had plenty of warning and told people who lived in the path of the ash and lava to leave the island. We managed to get half the population to another island before the eruption took place. 63 Eleven thousand people live here and about six thousand people have left. 64 The most dangerous place is between the volcano and the sea. There are a lot of villages there. Sadly, hundreds of houses caught fire when the alva reached them. 65 Thankfully, no one was killed.ADid it do serous damage?BIm very sorry to hear that.CWhen did it happen?DWhat exactly happened last
