Damn it! My brothers soccer game was already over and I had to leave so soon. “Come on Anna, the games over. my older sister said to me as she walked down to the field. I just couldnt 36 myself away from it all. They can wait a couple of minutes, I thought. 37 I was wrong. 38 I knew it, the soccer field was almost 39 . I nervously went down to see if my 40 was still there. They werent. I 41 searched the parking lot. I was getting 42 now. I ran from car to car, searching for my familys 43 , but there was no sign of it anywhere. My throat was aching and hot tears started 44 down my cheeks. I gave in and sat down on the roadside 45 . A lady came and asked me what was wrong. I had been taught not to talk to 46 , but I was 47. I told her I was lost 48 couldnt find my family. With her help, I searched the enormous parking lot all over again. No luck. 49 daughter came and after they talked for a while they decided to call 50 ! When the police man came, I was quite put out that he didnt have a police dog with him，but the happy 51 at McDonalds made up for it. After we ate at McDonalds he asked me what my 52 was. I proudly recited 451-8207, only having to pause once. When he called my house only my sister was home，Everyone else was 53 , worriedly searching all the stores they had 54 since the Soccer game. Apparently they hadnt realized I was gone until 55 after they had left me. Ever since then I have been I have been afraid to get lost.36AtakeBbringCtearDcomfort 37ASuddenlyBObviouslyCFrequentlyDRegularly 38ABeforeBAfter CUntilDUnless 2008051439AnoisyBsilentCfullDempty 40AfamilyBfriendsCclassmatesDteam41Acarelessly Banxiously Cexcitedly Dangrily 42Atrapped Bencouraged Csurprised Dpanicked 43AaddressBsignCtruck Dnumber44AstreamingBpullingCfreezing Dstaying45AsleepingBthinkingCcryingDshouting46Abad peopleBstrangersCmenDwomen47AfrightenedBdisappointedCdesperateDlucky48AforBifCbut Dand 49AHerBMyCOurDTheir50Athe schoolBthe policeCmy brotherDmy family51AownerBladyCmealDdog52Aphone numberBhome addressCcard number Dcar number 53AinsideBoutCback Dup 54Aarrived atBgone toCcome Dbeen to 55AsecondsBweeksCdays Dhours第三部分：阅读理解（共20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。AIn the marathon event of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, athletes will swim together, get refreshed at various points, make a break for the finish line and then climb onto dry land and take off their goggles (护目镜). Marathon swimming the term for a 10-kilometer, open-water race is making its first Olympic appearance, and supporters hope it can attract as much attention as other kinds of marathon.The rising sport described as a combination of swimming, water polo (水球) , and cycling for its elements of strategy and physical contact is quite different from a far-shorter pool race, and that freshness appeals to competitive swimmers and those for fun alike. Carrington Cole, a 36-year-old New Yorker, swam competitively in college but says her pool racing days are over. I don t want to compete in the same field, she says. A few years ago, after a friend told her about local open-water swims, she signed up for a 1-mile race in the Hudson River and got hooked. Since then, shes worked her way up to a nearly 6-mile race. She s competitive in her age group but says that s not the point. It s a complete source of pleasure and relaxation, she says. It s an amazing, fantastic experience to be swimming in the river and to do it as part of a group. You can completely relax and let your head go. 56. The purpose of the passage is _.A. to introduce the new marathon event Marathon swimmingB. to persuade you to take part in Marathon swimmingC. to show you Marathon swimming is very interestingD. to prove that the new is always wonderful57. The underlined word hooked in the second paragraph probably means .A. trapped B. caught C. addicted D. surprised58. We can learn from the passage that Marathon swimming _.A. is certain to be attractive B. consists of several partsC. appeared in the 28th Games D. will be less attractive than pool racing59. According to the passage, we know Carrington Cole . A. will take part in the Beijing Olympic Games B. is a college student as well as an athleteC. swam across the Hudson River alone D. doesnt like the pool racing any moreBHave you ever wondered why the roots of the plants always know which way to grow into the soil but not above it? Some British scientists have recently solved this mystery.It turns out that roots have special hairs that tie them into the soil and help them grow their way past obstacles, a team at the John Innes Center in Norwich reports in the February 29 issue of Journal Science.The key is in the fuzzy (有绒毛的) coat of hairs on the roots of plants, says Professor Liam Dolan. We have found a growth control system that enables these hairs to find their way and to become longer when their path is clear. Root hairs explore the soil in much the same way a person would feel their way in the dark. If they come across an obstacle, they make their way around until they can continue growing in an opening. In the meantime, the plant is held in place as the hairs grip (紧紧抓住) the soil.The hairs are guided by a clever chemical trick. A protein (蛋白质) at the tip of the root hairs called RHD2 helps them to take calcium (钙) from the soil. Calcium makes the hairs grow, and produce more RHD2, and take more calcium.But when an obstacle blocks the hair s path, or the hair reaches the surface of the soil, the cycle is broken and growth starts in another direction.This system gives plants the flexibility (灵活性) to explore a complex environment and to live in even the most unpromising soils, says Dolan.In poor soils such as in parts of Australia and Africa, native plants have adapted (适应) by producing enormous numbers of root hairs. A better understanding of this adaptation will allow scientists to develop hairy rooted crops that can grow in unfriendly environments.According to Dolan, Research in the John Innes Center is taking a breeding (繁殖) approach to increase hair length in wheat but it will be some time before new cultivars (栽培变种) are developed.60. The passage is mainly about .A. why the roots of plants grow into the soil but not above it B. how the roots of plants grow into the soil but not above it C. the process of plants growth D. a growth control system of plants61. In the growth control system of roots,_ plays the key role.A. water B. soil C. calcium D. the root hair62. How does the circle work?A. RHD2 takes calcium from the soil, which makes hairs grow, and produce RHD2, and take more calcium.B. Roots take RHD2 and calcium from the soil and produce RHD2.C. Roots make hairs grow, and produce RHD2, and take more calcium.D. RHD2 takes protein, which makes hairs grow, and produce RHD2, and take more calcium.63. We can infer from the last paragraph that _.A. hairy rooted crops can grow better in unfriendly environmentsB. a new cultivar of wheat with long hair has been developed by scientistsC. a new cultivar of wheat with long hair is still on testD. the roots of plants always know which way to growCTwo studies are adding to the debate about the heath risks of eating fish containing high levels of the metal mercury (汞). One study suggests that people who eat fish high in mercury may increase their ri
