Adelicious food Boutdoor sports Cthe ancient civilization Dmanmade wondersBAbout 97% of the worlds water is salty and is found in our oceans and seas. But, as we cant drink seawater, how can it be important? Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different ocean depths. Most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food. These simple plants called algae (海藻) drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen. In fact, algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe. How important seawater is! Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain. The algae are eaten in large amounts by microscopic animals, which are in turn consumed by larger animals. These food chains are delicately balanced. The bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man. People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didnt matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food. But we now know this is not true, and fish stocks in the oceans have started to drop. Thankfully, the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine habitats. Most countries have introduced fishing restrictions to protect fish stocks in the oceans, and new techniques are being pioneered to cope with pollution. Finally, the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people. This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future. We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet. How important seawater is! 24Which of the following is the proper order of the food chain?

DRaising peoples awareness of the need to protect oceans.27What would be the best title of the passage? AThe importance of seawater BLife in the oceans CHow to protect food chains DHow to deal with seawater pollutionCYou may ride on your bicycle in a rush to get to school every morning. You may fight to get a bit of space on a bus or on the subway. You may also watch taxis crawl their way through traffic jams.No matter where you are, all big cities around the world have traffic jams these days. But although they all have their problems, many cities also have a type of transport that has bee a cultural icon (文化标识)In London, to avoid the traffic above ground, people use the “underground”， also called the “Tube”. The city has the oldest and most plicated underground railway system in the world and is the pride of many Londoners. With 12 lines and 275 stations across the city, the Tube, is normally the quickest and easiest way of getting around London. In London, you are never far from a Tube station.New York is famous for its Yellow cabs. They serve as a quick and easy way of getting across Manhattan, where the subway doesnt take you everywhere. Stopping a cab is easy, just stick out your arm like you do in any city. But, with over 12,000 yellow cabs in the Big Apple, they also cause traffic jams.Since 1873 when the first cable car started public service, the slow and noisy vehicle has been a symbol of San Francisco. Although once damaged by a serious earthquake and challenged by cars, it is never caught in traffic jams and provides better views than the subway.But there are no such symbols in Los Angeles. If you visit youd better rent a car. The citys public transportation is terrible. It can take hours to get across town by bus. The subway covers just a small part of the city centre. The light rail line only runs between the Long Beach hotel area and the city centre. Thats why Angelenos love their private cars more than any other people in the world.28If you have a chance to London and want to avoid the traffic jam, youd better _. Aride vehicleBtake a taxi Cuse subway Drent a car29Which type of transportation has bee a cultural icon of the Big Apple? ANoisy vehicle. BCable cars. CSubway. DYellow cabs.30People in Los Angeles like their private cars because of the following except that_. Athe public transportation is terrible Bit is not expensive to take a private car Cthe underground railway covers a small part of the city center Dpeople have to spend hours getting across the Los Angeles31The passage mainly tells us _. Ahow big cities in the foreign countries keep on moving Bhow people in the city avoid the traffic jams Cwhy London has the oldest and plicated subway Dwhy people call New York the Big AppleDIf youre bored with oldfashioned running, or if you feel that its not a plete workout, you might want to try crunning. It does not mean crying while running. Its actually a cross between crawling (爬行) and running that involves getting down on all fours and moving. The strange workout, best described as your thighs (大腿) worst nightmare, was invented by Australian fitness enthusiast Shaun McCarthy. The video of his crunning has been getting much attention online and it has inspired others to take up running on all fours as well. Now crunning is a steadilygrowing sport in Australia.McCarthy says that crunning is a more plete workout because it involves the upper body as well. “It really works your thighs and shoulders at the same time，” he said, adding that he believes it burns more calories as well. Some fitness experts believe that McCarthy might just be onto something there. According to Kim Baylor, a certified personal trainer, any exercise that involves full body motions leaves the chance to develop a lot of strength. However, many think crunning is likely to be out of date soon and it might even be harmful if done incorrectly. Fitness coach Kevin Dean said, “We humans are upright; our wrists have different structures than ankles. But a quadruped (四足的) animal would have four of roughly the same joint. As a result, I often see broken noses, bad wrists, and shoulder problems arising from crunning.”Health experts suggest wearing special gloves to prevent damage to hands while crunning. Its necessary to increase the intensity (强度) of exercise step by step. Crunning may be too much for a beginner and it could be bad for your neck. If it hurts severely, stop immediately and just stick to traditional running.32What do we know about crunning? AIt is running on all fours. BIts not a plete workout. CIt is gaining worldwide popularity. DIt is created to strengthen the thighs.33. Kim Baylors attitude to crunning is _. Aunfavorable Bapproving Cdoubtful Dcautious34. What will Kevin Dean agree with? AMcCarthys idea is practical. BCrunning is a better fitness activity. CCrunning is not suitable for human beings. DIts dangerous to take wholebody exercise.35. Whats the advice on crunning from health experts? ATry to avoid using your neck. BOnce you begin, never give up. CTake measures to protect your hands. DGo as fast as possible at the beginning.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文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。Birth order plays a vital role in deciding the characteristics of a child.
