Now, the 3-D version of the movie will come to Chinese theaters on April 10.As anyone who has seen the movie knows, the Titanic struck an iceberg(冰山) and sank on its first voyage in 1912, killing 1,517 people. A century after the accident, scientists have found something new to blame(负责任) for the sinking: the moon. Donald Olson, a Texas State University physicist, led a team of astronomers(天文学家) to examine the moons role, according to Reuters.Normally, icebergs stay in place and cannot move until they melt enough or a high tide(潮汐) frees them. A single iceberg can become stuck many times on its journey southward. The process can take several years.According to Olson, a hundred years ago the moon made its closest approach to the Earth in more than 1,400 years. This caused the moon to have a much stronger pull on the Earths oceans than usual, which created a super-high tide. The tide pushed icebergs from shallow waters off the coasts of Canadas provinces, Newfoundland and Labrador, into the Titanics way.“Of course, the final cause of the accident was that the ship struck an iceberg,” Olson told Reuters. “It went full speed into a region with icebergs, but the lunar connection(月亮的联系) may explain how an unusually large number of icebergs got into the path of the Titanic.”The research team will publish their research in the April issue of Sky & Telescope magazine.根据短文内容，选最佳择答案,并在答题卡上按要求作答。（1）How many people lost their lives in this accident?A . Over 2,000 people.B . About 100 people.C . More than 1,500 people.D . We dont know.（2）The underlined word “voyage” in the second paragraph really means _.A . 航行B . 飞行C . 划船D . 游泳（3）Which of the following about icebergs is TRUE?A . Icebergs move only when the tide frees them.B . An iceberg can stop for some time during its travel.C . An iceberg will move as soon as its melts.D . It takes an iceberg several months to leave its place.（4）Which of the following played a role in the sinking of the Titanic?a. the moon b. the tides c. too many passengersd. the high speed of the ship e. going the wrong way f. the icebergA . a,b,c,fB . a,c,d,eC . a,b,d,fD . a,c,e,f（5）What is the article mainly about?A . The main cause of the Titanics sinking.B . The 100th anniversary of the Titanic.C . The moons great influence on the Earths tides.D . The moons role in the sinking of the Titanic.3. （8分）（2011深圳市）In many high schools，there are strict rules about using mobile phones. If your phone rings in class，for example，the teacher will be very angry.Every mobile phone has a ringtone (铃声). It tells you that someone is calling you. Now，there is a ringtone called “mosquitotone (蚊子铃声)”. Using it，students can receive calls and text messages (短信) in class but the teacher will not realize what is happening. How?Mosquitotone has a special sound. Only children and teenagers can hear it. As we get older，we are unable to hear some sounds with high frequencies (频率). As a result，a child or teenager can hear the mosquitotone ringtone, but its_inaudible_to someone 20 or older.But sometimes，people over 20 can hear the ringtone. One British students phone uses mosquitotone. In class，the students phone rang. The 32yearold teacher looked at the student and became unhappy. “I heard that. You know the rule：no mobile phone in class.”Not all the students are interested in mosquitotone. Jerry Jones，a high school student of 17，says，“Using mosquitotone too often is bad for our hearing. I may use it for pleasure，but not in class. Its unfair to the teachers！”What do parents think of mosquitotone？“I think it is perfect for places like movie theaters，” says Connie Neeson,44.“Think about it. Yonre watching a film and someones mobile phone rings. Mosquitotone is good because many people dont hear it. However，it also has a bad influence on their study if students use it in class.”（1）Mosquitotone works because _.A . it is very loudB . it has no soundC . it has a beautiful soundD . it uses high frequencies（2）The under lined part “its_inaudible_to” means “_”A . it cant be seen byB . it cant be heard byC . it isnt popular withD . it isnt healthy for（3）The 32yearold teacher felt unhappy because the student _.A . was late for classB . didnt do his homeworkC . couldnt answer her questionD . was using a mobile phone in class（4）Connie Neeson thinks that mosquitotone _.A . has no bad influenceB . is unfair to the teachersC . has its advantage and disadvantageD . cant be used in any public place4. （10分） A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present.

He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didnt cost him a cent. And some day Im going to give you one just like it then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window that Ive been trying to tell you about.”Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.

There is an old saying， “Friends are Gods way of taking care of us.” But how do you find real friendship and keep it?The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed(种子) and take care of it to make it grow.First， you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient(耐心的). For example， if you have a bad day， a good friend should listen to your complaints(抱怨)and do his or her best to help. To make a friend， you cant be too shy. You should make each other happy.But things cant always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fright with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around， have an honest talk. If he or she doesnt want to talk， you could write a letter. There are three steps to being friends again：Tell him or her how you are feeling； say what your friend has done wrong， and explain(解释) why you did this or that； remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.（1）Sally wants to tell students the ways to_.
