Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true.Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.Air pollution is still the most serious. Its bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time.1. , our world is becoming much smaller.A. Because of the rise in pollutionB.

If people could go to work by bus or bike instead of car or motorbike, it would be helpful in fighting against the problem of SO2D. The problem of pollution is not so serious because there are not so many people on the earthBFour days after Dads 67th birthday, he had a heart attack. Luckily, he survived. But something inside him had died. His enthusiasm for life was gone. He refused to follow doctors orders, and his sour attitude made everyone upset when they visit him. Dad was left alone.So I asked Dad to come to live with me on my small farm, hoping the fresh air would help him adjust. Within a week after he moved in, I regretted the invitation. He criticized everything I did. I became frustrated. Something had to be done.One day I read an article which said when given dogs, depressed patients would be better off. So I drove to the animal shelter that afternoon. As soon as I got there, a pointers eyes caught my attention. They watched me calmly.A staff member said: “He got here two weeks ago and weve heard nothing. His time is up tomorrow.”I turned to the man in horror. “You mean youre going to kill him?”“Maam,” he said gently. “We dont have room for every unclaimed dog.”The staff members calm brown eyes awaited my decision. “Ill take him,” I said.I drove home with the dog on the front seat beside me. I was helping it out of the car when Dad walked onto the front porch. “Look what I got you!” I said excitedly.Dad wrinkled his face. “I dont want it,” he muttered, turning back towards the house. Then, suddenly, the dog pulled free from my grasp. He sat down in front of my Dad.Dads anger melted, and soon he was hugging the dog.This was the beginning of a warm friendship. Dad named the dog Cheyenne. Together they spent long hours walking down dusty lanes and relaxing on the banks of streams.Dads bitterness faded, and he and Cheyenne went on to make many friends. Then, late one night two years later, I felt Cheyennes cold nose burrowing(搜寻) through my bed covers. He had never before come into my bedroom at night. I ran into my fathers room and found that he had passed away.Two days later, my shock and grief deepened when I discovered Cheyenne lying dead beside Dads bed. As I buried him near their favorite stream, I silently thanked the dog for restoring Dads peace of mind.4.After the authors father survived the heart attack, he .A. no longer wanted to liveB. was left alone to get full restC. ignored everyone who visited himD. became unpleasant toward other people5.Why did the author take the pointer home?A. It was a type that is known for its friendlinessB. Its eyes made her think it was the best dog availableC. It caught her attention right away and she didnt want it to be killedD. It was good at getting peoples attention and entertaining them6.From the last two paragraphs we can conclude that .A. more attention should be given to old peopleB. dogs are so loyal that they usually die for their friendsC. the authors father and Cheyenne formed a real connectionD. friendship and care is much more efficient than the medicine7.Which section of a newspaper is the source of the passage?A. HealthB. EntertainmentC. EducationD. FriendsCGetting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea; clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist (免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.8.The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because .A. they lived healthily in a dirty environmentB. they believed disease could be spread in public baths C. they thought bath houses were to dirty to stay inD. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease9.Which of the following best describes Henry IVs attitude to bathing?A. ApprovingB. AfraidC. CuriousD. Uninterested10.How does the passage mainly develop?A. By providing examplesB. By making comparisonsC. By following the order of importanceD. By following the order of time11.What is the authors purpose in writing the passage?A. To stress the role of dirtB. To present the change of views on dirtC.To introduce the history of dirtD. To call attention to the danger of dirtDWhen was the last time you relied on an old-fashioned map to figure out the route to an unfamiliar place? For many, the GPS has revolutionized navigation, making a paper map almost obsolete? So how has this piece of technology developed over its 26 years of existence? On February 14,1989,the first satellite in the US Global Positioning System was sent into space from Cape Canaveral, beginning the start of one of the wonders of the modern world.GPS stands for Global Positioning System, which is made of a network of around 30 satellites that move around the earth. The system uses a process called trilateration to find out ones position. By measuring the time it takes for the signal to reach one satellite, the GPS can determine your distance from the satellite, creating a sphere(范围) of possible locations. Measuring your distance from at least three satellites will narrow your location to the place where the three spheres cross one another, to the accuracy(精确) of about less than 1 meter!The GPS was first invented during the Cold War by the United States Department of Defense. In 1960, the first system, which was made of just five satellites, was put into place. It was initially created for strictly military(军事的) use; however, in 1983, as a result of faulty navigation technology, a Korean passenger plane mistakenly flew into USSR territory(苏联领土) and was shot down. In order to prevent such bad events, American President Ronald Reagan allowed civilian(民用的) use of the GPS.Over the next ten years, the systems accuracy improved as the network was increased to 24 satellites. And during the first Persian Gulf War, the new GPS was finally used by the military. Now scientists use the technology to track animals to better understand their movement and behavior. Parents who may be worried about their children can also use GPS technology to track them.12.The underlined word “obsolete” in Paragraph 1 can best be replaced by “ ”.A. pricelessB. unusualC. perfectD. useless13.The second paragraph is mainly about .A. how the GPS worksB. the history of the GPSC. the applications of the GPSD. some problems with the GPS14.According to the text, the GPS .A. has a history of over 100 years B. became popular during the Cold WarC. relies on the satellites circling the earthD. was available first during space exploration15.What does the author think of the GPS?A. It is not always reliableB. It has a lot of uses in many fieldsC. It makes our life more peacefulD. It will soon go out of fashion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。Why is setting goals important? 16 Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.Successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. 17 Its like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of in this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind which can be found in a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal, or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drivers aimlessly around. Never getting anywhere, just using up gas. Which driver do you want to be? 18 They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals arent difficult to set, and they arent difficult to reach. 19 You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life. 20 Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. Like a contract with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget. Also when you write your goals in a particular way you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goal.A. Winners in life set goals and follow throughB.Its up to you to find out what your goals really areC. By setting goals you are taking control of your lifeD. Because everybody should have a goal in his mindE. Its difficult for a driver to reach his destination without a mapF. Because goals can help you do, be and experience everything you want in lifeG. Research tells us that when we write a goal down, we are more likely to achieve it第二部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选取可以填入空白处的最佳选项I was eight years old then. Looking 21 I remember the time in a baseball field passing the team that we had just 22 . We shook their hands and said, ”Good game!”It is 23 to do that when you win! When you lose, you have a tendency(倾向) to slap (拍) the hand-instead of shaking it-and 24 the ground instead of the eyes. This is not only true for an eight-year-old; it is true for adults, too.A few years ago, in a softball league, we lost 15 games! And we thought it was 25 . But during the “Good game” handshake after each 26 , I looked each player in the eyes and shook their hands. I couldnt look my opponents (对手) in the eyes and congratulate them on a good 27 when I was eight. Somehow I took the loss as a 28 on my self-worth and felt my self-confidence had been slapped; 29 -I did what most eight-year-olds do and I slapped the opponents hands, not giving them the satisfaction of a shake. I was wrong to do this. Im happy today as a(n) 30 that I have learned this 31 : There is something to be said for losing well. 32 it is a baseball game or an important examination, you can 33 a lot about a person by now they deal with defeat. The person who deals with defeat as an 34 blow is not allowing the event to define (定义) him, while someone who cannot 35 defeat is allowing the event to 36 his self-worth. In my opinion, when you 37 in something-though it may be 38 -look at your opponents in the eyes, and shake their hands in a 39 way as you say, “Good game!” 40 to allow the event to define your life. You might find yourself winning the next game.21.A. roundB. beforeC. aboutD. back22.A. taughtB. metC. defeatedD. caught23.A. difficultB. easyC. properD. bad24.A. laugh atB. shout atC. knock atD. look at25.A. unbelievableB. reasonableC. embarrassingD. challenging26.A. lossB. sadnessC. disappointingD. failure27.A. gameB. timeC. teamD. day28.A. textB. limitC. hitD. cost29.A. otherwiseB. thereforeC. besidesD. finally30.A. childB. playerC. adultD. parent31.A. courseB. ruleC. opinionD. lesson32.A.
