第I卷 选择题 (满分40分) 第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 (共20个小题，每小题2分，满分40分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Scientists used to explore探测on the surface of the ocean. Now they are exploring below the surface, too. They want to know about ocean water and the plant and animal life deep in the ocean. In 1934 the scientist William Beebe dived 3 000 feet below the surface in a hollow steel ball. In 1935 August Piccard dived 10330 feet. In 1960 his son Jean dived to a depth of 35 800 feet. All these early dives were deep. But the divers could not stay down for very long. They had to come back up to the surface after a few seconds. Scientists needed to stay down longer to study life below surface. Gradually they succeeded. Cousteau, a Frenchman, was able to keep men down to a depth of 90 feet for a week. Now scientists are developing even better equipment. With this new equipment，men can stay below the surface for days or even weeks. In 1962 Cousteau set up a research station 35 feet below the surface. Then，in 1964，he set up another station on the ocean floor of the Red Sea. This was the first undersea station to operate without help from the surface. Many countries are now studying undersea living. The former Soviet Union has an undersea laboratory in the Crimean Sea. The United States has a laboratory 50 feet down on the ocean floor off the Virgin Islands. In 1970 five men lived there for two weeks. Then a team of five women scientists stayed in the laboratory. Next came other teams of men. All were there to explore the ocean depths and to make plans for the use of its resources. Scientists hope to find enough mineral，vegetable，and animal wealth there to provide food for the entire world. 1. In order to______ ，scientists are exploring below the surface of the ocean. A. know about the ocean water deep in the ocean B. stay down longer to study life of the plant and animal below the surface C. know about the plant and animal life deep in the ocean D. both A and C 2. Who made the deepest dive______ A. William Beebe. B. August Piccard. C. Jean Piccard. D. Cousteau. 3. Which of the following statements is true____ A. The early divers could not stay down for very long. B. Up to now only five women scientists have stayed in the undersea laboratory. C. The purpose of setting up the undersea laboratories is to make plans for the use of the resources in the ocean. D. None of the above is true.
B An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old son. Suddenly a crow(乌鸦) landed on their window. The father asked his son, “What is that?” The son replied, “That is a crow.” After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is that?” The son said, “Father, I told you just now. It is a crow.” After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, “What is this?” This time his son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you already. ‘IT IS A CROW.’ Are you not able to understand this?” A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page: Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied him 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not at all feel angry, but instead felt affection for my son. If you parents reach old age, do not look at them as a burden, but speak to them gently, and be kind to them. From today say this aloud, “I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little child. They have always showered me with love. I will take care of my old parents in the BEST way no matter how they behave.” 4. The writer mainly intends to ______.

C At no time in history has there been such a mass movement of people from the countryside to the city as is happening now. By the year 2030, it’s estimated that more than two thirds of the world’s population will be living in cities, twice as many as today. This means that the problems faced by cities today―overcrowding, poor housing, unemployment, poverty and lack of food and water―will be twice as bad unless we find solutions soon. Another serious issue is how to provide good transportation for their citizens. Many of the world’s major cities are already struggling with out-of-date transport infrastructures(基本设施).How can they deal with the additional demands? London is a good example. Its enlargement was made possible by the invention of the steam engine, which powered the world’s first underground railway. But its transport system are now hopelessly out-of-date and need urgent modernization. London’s future success depends very much on developing better public transport. Over a million people travel into central London every day from outside the city. They together with the people who live in London, want a public transport system that is efficient, safe and environmentally friendly. What they often get, however, falls far short of that ideal. Passengers complain about cost and pollution, while businesses worry about the problems their staff have in getting to work on time. Yes, the proportion of London households that own a car grew from just over ten percent in the early 1950s to over sixty percent today. As the city has become increasingly crowded and polluted, there has been a growing realization that action must be taken soon. 8. It is believed that____. A. overpopulation causes the problem in cities B. two thirds of the world’s population are living in cities today C. it isn’t difficult to solve the problem faced by cities today D. with fewer people we would be free from problems 9. The underlined word “they” in the fourth paragraph refers to _______. A. the citizens in the city of London B.those who come to London from other places C. passengers who make complaints about the cost D. businesses who are anxious about their staff getting to work late 10. The underlined words “environmentally friendly” is closest in meaning to ________. A. pleasant and nonpolluting B. cheap and punctual C. quick and straight D. fair and convenient 11. The following paragraph of this text would most probably deal with___ A. train and air travel B. traffic jams in London C. possible solution to London’s transportation problems D. car ownership that continues to grow.
D Recently a professor of philosophy(哲学)in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day to day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he has asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value(重视)in life． The professor says our relation with others often becomes clearly defined(明确)when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money．If he does，it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Otherwise it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn’t． Since money is so important to us, we consider those who are rich to be very important. The professor interviews some rich people in his research for his book． Question: What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich? Answer : The most surprising thing is why people give me so much respect(尊重) I am nothing．I don’t know much．All I am is rich． People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much money do I need for any given purpose in my life? In his book，the professor uncovered an important need in modern society：to bring back the idea that money is a tool rather than the end．Money plays an important role in the material world，but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life. 12. The students are asked to keep a record of every penny they spend to______. A. learn how to spend money B. learn how to make more money C. know what to write in a record D. know what is important in life 13. In the second paragraph, the professor mainly tells us ________. A. never to borrow money from a friend B. friendship disappears when it comes to money C. money can influence friendship D. money can weaken friendship 14．Through his book，the professor seems to tell us ． A. money is very important in the material world B. the purpose of our life is to make money C. money does not surely mean happiness D. we should value money in our life 15. Which of the following might the author disagree? 　 A. Money is important in modern society. 　 B The meaning of life does not completely lie in money. 　 C. Wealth will surely bring the owner happiness. 　 D. Happiness is not necessarily the result of wealth. 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。 There is an English saying:“____16___.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously.
