第二节　阅读理解（共7小题；每小题2分，满分14分）
（1）
In the movie 2012, the volcano(火山) in the Yellow National Park erupts, smoke flies thousands of meters into the air, and car—sized pieces of stone and ash(灰烬) fly out.
Now, some scientists say, it’s very possible that the Yellowstone volcano will soon erupt in real life for the fourth time in history, after about 640,000 years. According to the Daily Mail, the volcano in the Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, US, has been rising at a record rate since 2004. Its magma surface(岩浆表面) has gone up 3 inches(7.6 centimeters) per year over the last three years alone. This rise is one of the key signs that a volcano is about to erupt. However, scientists are not certain when the eruption will happen or what it will cause.
Unlike what happens in 2012, a volcano eruption would not destroy the whole world, but it could cause huge damage to people living nearby.
The famous eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD destroyed the ancient Roman city of Pompeii. The 2010 eruption of the Iceland Volcano caused more than 800 people to lose their homes and many airports in European countries to shut down for a few days.
There are more than 1,500 active volcanoes in the world. A volcano is considered active if it has erupted in the last 10,000 years.
In ancient times, more than 80 percent of the earth’s surface was volcanic. Volcanic eruptions formed the sea floor and some mountains over many years. Gas from volcanoes formed the earth’s atmosphere.
Volcanoes come from very hot liquid rock, called magma, inside the earth. When magma comes upward and breaks through the earth’s surface, it forms volcanoes.
The rising magma heats water, which leads to explosions(爆炸) of steam. This pushes rocks and ash high into the sky. Three different things erupt from a volcano：hot liquid rock, volcanic ash and gases.
67．The writer says something about the movie 2012 in Paragraph 1 to ________.
A．remind readers that 2012 is coming B．advertise the movie
C．attract readers’ interest in the movie D．introduce the topic of volcanoes

68．According to Paragraph 2, a volcano will probably erupt if ________.
A．it has a history of about 640,000 years
B．its floor has been rising for a few years
C．it has erupted three times in history
D．its floor goes down three inches each year

69．Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．The eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD destroyed ancient Rome.
B．The 2010 eruption of the Iceland Volcano caused the greatest losses in history.
C．An active volcano may not have erupted in the last 10,000 years.
D．Volcanic eruptions helped form the sea floor, some mountains and the atmosphere.

The heart is one of the most important parts of all animals, including humans. It produces and moves blood(血液) inside the animal’s body. However, Craig Lewis, a 55-year-old American man, has just become the first man in the world living without a heart in his chest.

In March of 1ast year, Lewis was dying from a heart disease and there seemed to be no way to save his life. But then doctors Billy Cohn and Bud Frazier of the Texas Heart Institute succeeded in replacing his heart with a pump(泵). The device(装置) is like a human heart and moves a continuous flow of blood through the body, using blades(机器的叶片) to move it along.
Doctors put the device in after removing Lewis’ heart. Within a day, the patient was up and able to speak.
“I listened,”said Linda, Lewis’ wife.“It was a hum(嗡嗡声), which was amazing.”She said she knew the operation was risky.“He wanted to live, and we didn’t want to lose him.”As long as the device works, Lewis will stay alive without a heartbeat or pulse(脉博).
The two doctors had developed the device some time before and tested their invention on a cow named Abigail.“You couldn’t hear a heartbeat from Abigail’s chest and she had no pulse, but she was happy and in good health,”Dr Cohn said.
Then the pair went on doing experiments on nearly 50 cows. The day after the operations, the animals were doing everything they were the day before-eating, sleeping and moving. The only difference was that this time, there wasn’t a heart pumping blood through their bodies.
70．It can be 1earned from paragraph 1 that ________.
A．the heart is more important to humans than to other animals
B．the heart is the most important part in the human body
C．Lewis is the world’s first man living without a heart
D．the heart is a place for animals to think about things

71．The underlined word“it”in paragraph 2 means ________.
A．a heart disease B．the device C．a human heart D．blood

72．Put the following events in the right order：________.
①The two doctors did experiments on nearly 50 cows.
②Lewis received the operation.
③The device was developed.
④Abigail was tested.
A．①②③④ B．④①③②
C．③④①② D．③①④②

73．According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE?
A．Lewis is 1iving without a heartbeat or pulse.
B．Lewis couldn’t speak for two days after the operation.
C．Abigail became weak after the operation.
D．The device can work better than a heart does.

I had to make a decision. While cleaning the house, I found my 13-year—old sister’s diary(日记).
I picked the book up from the floor and opened it, searching for my name. I thought that I would find something bad. ①As I read, the blood ran from my face. It was worse than I thought. I sat down on the floor. There was nothing bad there at all. There was a short description of herself, her goals and her dreams, and of the person who had encouraged her most. I started to cry.
I was her hero. She admired me for my personality, my achievements and, strangely, my honesty. She wanted to be like me. She had been watching me for years. I stopped reading. I felt ashamed of myself. I had put so much energy into pushing her away that I had missed out on being her friend.
I wasted years hating someone and now I had violated(违背) her trust. ②It was I who had lost something beautiful, and it was I who would never allow myself to do such a thing again.
Reading the words my sister wrote warmed my heart, and I wanted to know her again. I was finally able to put away the silly things that kept me from her. That afternoon. I decided to go to her—this time to experience，but not to judge(指责), to welcome, but not to fight. After all，she was my sister.
