Great Wall might disappear some day.Believe it or not，the Great Wall is being destroyed by people.Less than 20 percent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty is still perfect，but about 80 percent is in danger.The Great Wall can be called “great” mostly because of its amazing length.But we should realize that the length was made up of one brick at a time.If we do nothing to save the Great Wall，it will bee a series of separate wasteland rather than a historic site.The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the past 2,000 years.It began in the rule of Chinas first emperor，Qin Shihuang of the Qin Dynasty(221 BC206 BC)，and lasted into the Ming Dynasty.The parts built before the Ming Dynasty have nearly disappeared.People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing and Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu because they have been open to tourists for many years.But those sections far away from the public eyes have been almost forgotten.Few local people knew the 3meterhigh walls made of earth and stones beside them are part of the Great Wall.The lack of knowledge is considered as one of the main reasons behind human.The bricks on the Great Wall are carried off by countryside people to build their houses，sheep corral(畜栏) and pigsties(猪圈)Some were taken away to build roads.Bricks carved with peoples names are put away as remembrance.Rubbish is spread over the battlements(城垛)The bricks can be sold for 15 yuan per tractor load.Those who destroyed and are destroying the Great Wall know its name，but are not clear about its cultural meaning.It will take a long time to let them know this.The local farmers not only carried off the body of the Wall but dug out the entire base.It is necessary to protect the Great Wall.First of all，the officials should be aware of the importance of the Great Wall.Young Chinese should know more about the nations great civilization(文明)and learn to love it.【语篇解读】长城以它那令人惊叹的长度而被世人称为伟大，但是由于人们缺乏对长城文化的了解，导致长城正在被破坏。4The main reason for which the Great Wall can be called“great”is .Ait is made by brick BIt is very wideCit is very long Dit has a

will be replaced by a new one.CSome parts of it are being destroyed.DIts too old to be used again.C细节理解题。文章中介绍，不管是不了解长城的人还是了解长城的人都在对长城进行无意识的破坏。6The underlined part “those sections far away from the public eyes” refers to the parts of the Great Wall .Athat are too difficult to understandBnobody can watchCthat are too far to been seenDthat are not well known to the publicD句意猜测题。长城有些地方是向公众开放的景点，这当然为公众所熟悉；而那些不是景点的地方则不会被公众所熟悉。划线句是“不被公众所熟悉”选D。7Whats the main reason of the Great Walls being destroyed?AThe local people are short of culture knowledge.BThe local people need bricks and stones to build houses.CThe local people think that the Great Wall is not important.DThe local people are against the government.A细节理解题。根据第四段“Those who destroyed and are destroying the

thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favorite TV talk show on his first day off in months.“This will be like a walk in the park，” hed told his wife.“Ill look after the kids，and you can go visit your mom.”Things started well，but just after eight oclock，his three little “good kids”Mike，Randy，and Alexcame down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast，daddy.” When food had not appeared within thirty seconds，Randy began using his spoon on Alexs head as if it were a drum.Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat(节拍)Mike chanted “Wheres my toast，wheres my toast” in the background.Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.Life became worse after breakfast.Mike wore Randys underwear on his head.Randy locked himself in the bathroom，while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants.Nobody could find clean socks，although they were before their very eyes.Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes.Brad knew the talk show had already started.By ten oclock，things were out of control.Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter.Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his color pencils.Randy，thankfully，appeared to be reading quietly in the family room，but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands.Brad realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.At exactly 11：17，Brad called the daycare centre(日托所)“I suddenly have to go into work and my wifes away.Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes？” The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.【语篇解读】本文讲述了三个孩子和一个爸爸过周末的情景。本以为周末会很轻松惬意，结果三个孩子却把他的计划彻底打乱了。只好求助日托所。8When his

became worse”与“things were out of control”都表明是因为管理不了孩子们，Brad才把他们送去日托所的，故选D。11This text is developed .Aby space Bby timeCby process Dby parisonB推理判断题。第一段：Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home第二段：breakfast第三段：after breakfast第四段：by ten oclock第五段：at exactly 11：17，由此可以看出本文是按照事件发展的时间先后顺序来叙述的。故选B。DHere is a true story about a famous man who worked in the White House and a criminal.They once faced the same thing：their mother gave them apples when they were young.The criminal said：one day，my mother brought some apples and asked my brother and me：“Which do you want？” “The reddest and biggest one，” my little brother said.My mother stared at him and said to him angrily：“You should learn to give the good things to others；you shouldnt always think of yourself.” Seeing this，I suddenly changed my idea and then said to my mother，“Mum，please give me the smaller one and give the bigger one to my little brother.” Hearing my words，my mother was very happy.She kissed me on my face and gave the reddest and biggest apple to me as a prize.From then on，I learned to tell lies，fight，steal and rob.In order to get what I wanted，I played hard.As a result，I was sent into prison.The famous man from the white house said：one day，my mother brought some apples.She said to my brother and me：“You all want the reddest and biggest one，right? Well，lets have a petition.Now I divided the grassland in front of the gate into two and I will give one to each of you and you must shear(修剪) it well.And I will give the reddest and biggest apple to him who does it the most quickly and best.”After the petition，I won and I got the biggest apple.In our family，as long as you want to get the best things，you must take part in petition.I think it is fair.No matter what you want，you must pay lots of efforts.【语篇解读】本文讲述了名人和罪犯的母亲不同的教育方式，这对孩子的成长有很大影响。12The criminal got the reddest and biggest apple because .Ahe knew how to make his mother happy from her answerBhe told the truth that he wanted a smaller oneCelder brother should of course have the bigger one Dhis mother loved him more than she loved the younger brother A推理判断题。根据第二段Seeing this，I suddenly changed my idea and then said to my mother，“Mum，please give me the smaller one and give the bigger one to my little brother.”说明罪犯明白妈妈的意思，用了让妈妈高兴的回答。13We can conclude from the passage that .Aits wrong to ask children to choose apples when they are not old enough.Bits wrong to ask children not to always think of themselves.Cits important to make children aware that no matter what they want，they must pay workDits always necessary to have a petition when we give children apple.C推理判断题。根据文章最后一句可知如果你想要得到，就需要付出努力。 14The writer tells the story by .Aorganizing it in the order of time.Bdescribing it in the order of spaceCproviding some scientific informationDmaking a parison between two menD推理判断题。文章的第二、三段分别讲述了名人和罪犯小时候怎样得到苹果的事情，从中进行对比。15It is implied in the passage that Aa mothers educational method has a great influence on a childs growing.Bin order to get what we want，we should play hard.Cwe should always try to win petitions which can bring us a lot.Dgiving children apples will lead them to bee criminals.A推理判断题。文章讲述了名人和罪犯妈妈的不同的教育方式，可知这对孩子成长有很大影响。.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)All languages change over time，but some change at a faster rate than others. 16 The most important factors are the number of people who speak a language，where they live and whether they move around，the importance of the language for world trade and munication，and changes in technology. 17 However，today English is the most widely used language in the world.English is spoken by about 350 million people as a first language in countries such as Great Britain，the United States.In addition，about a billion more people speak English as a second language.English started to take over French as an international language during the period of British colonialism (殖民主义) when the English ruled many countries in Africa and Asia. 18 The colonial period came to an end at the same time that several other changes occurred.For example，the US.started to play a greater part in global affairs and the international economy.New means of munication technology such as television and the Internet spread English worldwide. 19 In addition，they could use the Internet for information，business，or email munication，all in English.Just as the use of English spread，other languages changed English by contact or by new inventions and technology.In contrast，Icelandic is a language that has changed very slowly.Icelandic speakers today can understand poetry written in a slightly different dialect over 1,000 years ago! Why has Icelandic changed so slowly? The main reason is the isolated (孤立的) location of the island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. 20 pared to England，Iceland had no history of colonialism.Icelands small population has not played a major role in international trade or munication.Today，most Icelanders speak English in addition to their native language.With outside influences，Icelandic is changing more rapidly now.APeople everywhere could watch the news or sports events in English.BThese changes have a great influence on the development of society.CIsolation meant that for hundreds of years，Icelanders had little contact with speakers of other languages.DWhat are some of the factors that influence how quickly a language changes? EThe language munication brings about the munication of technology.FIn the past，other languages such as Latin or French were more important than English.GEnglish was the primary means of munication in these colonies.【答案】1620DFGAC .完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)My friend Michelle is blind，but youd never know it.She makes such good use of her other 21 ，including her “sixth sense”，that she rarely gives the impression shes 22 anything.Michelle looks after her children pretty much like the rest of us， 23 that she doesnt push too hard on them， 24 really benefit a lot from her relaxed attitude.She knows when to clean the house，she moves around so fast that often 25 dont realize shes blind.I 26 this the first time after my sixyearold daughter，Kayla，went to play there.When Kayla came home，she was very 27 about her day.She told me they had baked cookies，played games and done art projects.But she was 28 excited about her fingerpainting project.“Mom，guess what？” said Kayla，all smiles “I learned how to 29 colors today!
