It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jacks dare.They liked camping，but not near this swamp.“So，” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name？”“Are you sure you want to hear it? Its a scary story，”warned Jack.“Of course！” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of，you wouldnt have chosen this place！”“Ok，but dont say I didnt warn you，” said Jack, and he began his tale.“Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite differentit was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystalclear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.”“You are clearing too much land， warned one old man. The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it.”“Silly fool， said Dennis to himself.If I clear more land，I can grow more crops.Ill bee wealthier.Hes just jealous！”“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”“What happened？”Martin asked.It was growing colder.He trembled，twisting his body closer to the fire.“The land hit backjust as the old man warned，”Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.”“What a stupid story，” laughed Tom. “Plants cant.” Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted(晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright，staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy(常春藤) had covered Toms face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.36The underlined word “dare” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to_.Acourage BassistanceCinstruction Dchallenge37Why did Jack tell Tom and Martin the story?ATo frighten them.BTo satisfy their curiosity.CTo warn them of the danger of the place.DTo persuade them to camp in the swamp.38Why did Tom scream and faint?AHe saw Denniss shadow.BHe was scared by a plant.CHis friend played a joke on him.DThe weather became extremely cold.39What lesson can we learn from the story of Dennis?AGrasp all, lose all.BNo sweat, no sweet.CIt is no use crying over spilt milk.DHe who makes no mistakes makes nothing.BFarmers are being told more needs to be done to stop them injuring at work.One in five British workplace deaths happens in agriculture even though farmers are only a small part of the working population.During the year xx/11 there were 1,061 injuries in total and it is thought many more go unreported.Jim Chapman from Warwickshire had his arm torn off by farm machinery seven years ago when he was 23.“You dont realize how much you rely on your second arm until its gone，”he said.He fell against a PTO shaft(传动轴)，a spinning metal bar at the back of a tractor.“It catapulted(猛力掷出) me from one side of the machine to the other，”he said.“I landed on the floor，minus all my clothing.My left arm had been ripped off.”He admits that the machinery was missing part of its proper safety guard.“But again，”he added，“it was a rushed day.There were a few machines that didnt work.Also，I was getting behind with the jobs.”Over the last 10 years，other industries that youd think of as dangerous，like building or quarrying(矿采)，have lowered the number of workplace deaths and injuries.In the farming industry though，deaths remain high with 34 deaths in xx/11.Judith Hackitt，the chair of the Health and Safety Executive(HSE) says it is “not acceptable” that the accident statistics for farming are still high.“People in farming dont have minor(较小的) injuries.When they get injured，its bad.”she said.“When I said to the National Farmers Union(NFU) that if I had sons I would not want them to work in agriculture，it really made them sit up and take notice.”Theres a whole host of reasons why farming is as dangerous as it is.It is a very rough industry.Also，its often because people are left alone.They could be young and inexperienced，or older people，who would have retired maybe 5 or 10 years ago in other industries.Jim wants others to learn from his experience.“Look at what youre doing before you go running in，”he said.“You could make a mistake that youll live with for the rest of your life.”40Jim Chapman was injured in the workplace mainly because _.Ahe crossed the machineryBthe safety guard of the machinery was goneChe was standing at the back of the tractorDhe didnt notice the PTO shaft41In British farming industry，_.Afarmers take up a large part of working populationBthe number of injuries is bigger than what the public knowCold machinery was not replaced in timeDbeing a farmer is the most dangerous42Judith thought _ were (was) not acceptable.Athe injuries of farmersBthe high deaths for farmingCher sons hope to work in agricultureDfarmers retiring 5 or 10 years later43From the whole text，we can see that Jim feels _.Aregretful BangryCshocked DconfusedCOur culture has caused most Americans to assume not only that our language is universal but that the gestures we use are understood by everyone.We do not realize that waving goodbye is the way to summon a person from the Philippines to ones side，or that in Italy and some LatinAmerican countries，curling the finger to oneself is a sign of farewell.Those private citizens who sent packages to our troops occupying Germany after World War and marked them GIFT to escape duty payments did not bother to find out that“Gift” means poison in German.Moreover，we like to think of ourselves as friendly，yet we prefer to be at least 3 feet or an arms length away from others.Latins and Middle Easterners like to e closer and touch，which makes Americans unfortable.Our linguistic(语言的)and cultural blindness and the casualness with which we take notice of the developed tastes，gestures，customs and languages of other countries，are losing our friends，business and respect in the world.Even here in the United States，we make few concessions(让步) to the needs of foreign visitors.There are no information signs in four languages on our public buildings or monuments；we do not have multilingual (多语的) guided tours.Very few restaurant menus have translations，and multilingual waiters，bank clerks and policemen are rare.Our transportation systems have maps in English only and often we ourselves have difficulty understanding them.When we go abroad，we tend to stay in hotels and restaurants where English is spoken.The attitudes and information we pick up are conditioned by those nativesusually the richerwho speak English.Our business dealings，as well as the nations diplomacy (外交)，are conducted through interpreters.For many years，America and Americans could get by with cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance.After all，America was the most powerful country of the free world，the distributor(分发者)of needed funds and goods.But all that is past.American dollars no longer buy all good things，and we are slowly beginning to realize that our proper role in the world is changing.A 1979 Harris poll reported that 55 percent of Americans want this country to play a more significant role in world affairs; we want to have a hand in the important decisions of the next century，even though it may not always be the upper hand.44It can be inferred that Americans being approached too closely by Middle Easterners would most probably_.Astand still Bjump asideCstep forward Ddraw back45In countries other than their own，most Americans _.Aare isolated by the local peopleBare not well informed due to the language barrierCtend to get along well with the nativesDneed interpreters in hotels and restaurants46According to the author，Americans cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance will_.Aaffect their image in the new eraBcut themselves off from the outside worldClimit their role in world affairsDweaken the position of the US dollar47The author intends to make Americans realize that it is _.Adangerous to ignore their foreign friendsBimportant to maintain their leading role in world affairsCnecessary to use several languages in public placesDtime to get familiar with other culturesDWere in the middle of winter.Its cold and were suffering from cold wind and rain.The sun，even when it does show its face，is setting at 4 pm.Its no wonder people in the street look sad.But according to most of the research on the connection between weather and mood(情绪)，they shouldnt be.Weather has little effect on mood.When you tell people this，though，they dont believe it.Most of us think the weather has quite a strong effect on our mood.Many think that the rain and cold weather dejects us and the sun and warmth cheers us up.So why dont we see this effect in the research？Thats the question a new study by Klimstra et al.tries to answer with a group of young people and their mothers.In fact，Klimstra et al.found four different groups：1Unaffected：about half the people in their study fell into this group.For these people it didnt matter that much whether it was raining or sunny，hot or cold，their mood was mostly unaffected.2Summer lovers：heres the group youd expect.For these people，their mood improved with less rain，more sun and higher temperatures(15% of young people and 30% of their mothers)3Summer haters：heres the group of people you hear less about.These were the exact opposite of the summer lovers so they were happier when there was more rain，less sun and lower temperatures (27% of the young people and 12% of their mothers)4Rain haters：this groups mood didnt change with the temperature，sunshine or the wind；they just hated the rain(8% of young people and 12% of their mothers)This helps explain why studies keep finding that weather doesnt have much effect on mood：its because were different and these differences are mostly being averaged out.48. Its found in the study that _. Aweather has a strong effect on moodBcold wind and rain makes us look sadCthe sun and warmth cheers us upDmood is little affected by weather49. In which group people like dry and hot weather?AUnaffected. BSummer lovers.CSummer haters. DRain haters.50From the four different groups we can learn _.Aabout half the people belong to summer loversBmore than one third of the people are summer hatersCfew of young people and their mothers like the rainDmore young people are unaffected than rain haters51What is the BEST title for the passage?ADoes the weather really affect your mood?BWhy do people feel sad in cold winter?CHow many different groups are there?DDo different people have different mood?E(xx安徽高考)Argentina in the late nineteenth century was an exciting place.Around 1870，it was experiencing an economic(经济的) boom，and the capital，Buenos Aires，attracted many people.Farmers，as well as a flood of foreigners from Spain and Italy，came to Buenos Aires seeking jobs.These jobs didnt pay well，and the people felt lonely and disappointed with their new life in the city.As the unhappy newers mixed together in the poor parts of the city，the dance known as the tango (探戈舞) came into being.At the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes.It was danced in the bars and streets.At that time there were many fewer women than men，so if a man didnt want to be left out，his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the few available women.Gradually，the dance spread into the upper classes of Argentinean society and became more respectable.In Europe at this time，strong interest in dance from around the world was beginning.This interest in international dance was especially evident in Paris.Every kind of dance from ballet(芭蕾舞) to belly dancing could be found on the stages of the Paris theaters.After tango dancers from Argentina arrived in Europe，they began to draw the interest of the public as they performed their exciting dance in cafes.Though not everyone approved of the new dance，saying it was a little too shocking，the dance did find enough supporters to make it popular.The popularity(流行)of the tango continued to grow in many other parts of the world.Soldiers who returned to the United States from World War brought the tango to North America.It reached Japan in 1926，and in xx the Argentinean embassy in Seoul hired a local tango dancer to act as a kind of dance ambassador，and promote tango dancing throughout South Korea.52The origin of the tango is associated with _.Abelly dancersBAmerican soldiersCa Spanish cityDthe capital of Argentina53Which of the following is true about the tango?AIt was created by foreigners from Spain and Italy.BPeople of the upper classes loved the tango most.CIt was often danced by two males in the beginning.DA dancer in Seoul became the Argentinean ambassador.54Before World War ，the tango spread to _.AAmerica BJapanCFrance DSouth Korea55What can be the best title for the text?AHow to Dance the TangoBThe History of the TangoCHow to Promote the TangoDThe Modern Tango Boom.任务型阅读(共10小题； 每小题1分，满分10分)Thirdgeneration mobile phones，known as 3G，are the next big step for the tele industry.Data speed in 3G networks is much quicker than that in present technology.This means users can have highspeed Internet access and enjoy video and CDquality music on their phones.“Mobile data is not a dream；its not an option(选择) but a requirement，” said Len Lauer，head of a US munications pany，Sprint PCS，at a 3G conference in Bangkok earlier this month.With 3G，you can forget about text messages telling you yesterdays news；a 3G phone can receive video news programs，updated four times a day.Internet access will also be much quicker，making it easier to surf the Web on your phone than on your puter at home.Facetoface video callsDont worry about getting lost.3G phones offer map services so you can find a new restaurant just by pressing a few keys on your handset.However，the most impressive part of 3G technology is video calling.With live twoway video munication，you can have facetoface talks with friends and many European count
