Maybe one of these dads will make you remember your own dad!The male giant water bug doesnt seem to mind a heavy load on his back for his kids. The female puts about 100 to 150 eggs on the back of the male, and then she leaves. Once the female is gone, the male has to look after the eggs. It usually takes one to two weeks for the eggs to hatch. The father giant water bug jumps around to make sure the growing eggs get enough air and water. All this time he cant fly because of the weight of the eggs growing rapidly on his back.Now lets turn to the male stickleback fish. When the mother leaves after laying her eggs, the father tends his young. If the young fish go too far away, their father helps with their safe return by carrying them back in his mouth. The male stickleback looks after all his young as many as 100 until they can live on their own.A similar example can be found in emperor penguins living in cold areas. The male emperor penguin goes without food while looking after his egg until it hatches. For about 62 to 67 days, the egg stays on top of the fathers feet, in very cold temperatures that drop down to -39. As a result, the father may lose nearly 50 percent of his body weight while waiting for his baby penguin to be born!30What do we know about the giantwater bug?A. It is unable to fly.B.

In a normal night，of course，people frequently change their positions. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.If you go to sleep on your back，youre a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You dont like to displease people. So you never express your real feelings. Youre quite shy and you arent quite sure of yourself.If you sleep on your stomach，you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and youre always easily upset. You always stick to your own opinions or judgment，but you dont raise your hope too much. You usually live for today not tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.If you sleep curled up，you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so youre often defensive(防卫的). Youre shy and you dont normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. Youre easily hurt.If you sleep on your side，you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strength and weakness. Youre usually careful. You trust yourself. You sometimes feel anxious，but you dont often get sad. You always say what you think even if it makes people rather angry.33According to the passage，a person，who is not willing to change his mind probably sleeps _.Aon his side Bon his backCcurled up Don his stomach34If a person prefers to sleep curled up rather than on his back，he maybe want to _.Ado things personally Bstay aloneCkeep things secret Dtrust others easily35The main idea of this passage is that _.Aones sleeping position has something to do with ones characterBeveryone has got both real and secret personalitiesCthe position in which one goes to sleep is the most important oneDwhen awake，one does not show ones secret personality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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student, they always say,“ My spoken English is poor.”_36I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. _37. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know._.38Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesnt matter._.39The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor._.40AThe person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.BThey may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.CObviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.DIf you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.EHowever, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”!FSecond, they are afraid of making mistakes.GThe second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned第三部分 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） Natisha Luke lost her hearing when she was born.
