of the Galapagos Islands，Ecuador，watching the sun move quietly into the sea，you shouldnt forget that Charles Darwin(18091882)arrived here in 1835.He stayed on the islands for five weeks，observing various animals.This finally inspired(启发) his famous work，On the Origin of Species.You can certainly follow Darwins footsteps and enjoy a trip from four to seven days to the islands.The islands are certainly a paradise(天堂) for wildlife，as there are no natural killers on the islands and the number of boats and visitors is under government control.Though you cannot walk freely as Darwin did about 200 years ago，each day is as impressive as it could be.The most wellknown animal of the Galapagos is the giant tortoise(巨型陆龟)，which can be seen moving slowly around the highlands of Santa Cruz，the second largest island in the archipelago(群岛)Some of these creatures are so old that they might have been seen in their youth by Darwin himself.Despite strict control over activities and timing，your stay on the Galapagos will be remembered as a chain of incomparable pictures：diving with sea lions that swim and play within inches of you；feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim；and，most magically，seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air.Traveling between the islands and observing the wildlife that so inspired Darwin，you will feel as though you are getting a special view of an untouched world.At night you will sleep on board the ship，leaving the wildlife in complete occupation of the islands，which are as undisturbed now as they have been since the beginning of time.46What do we know about Darwins visit to the islands?AHe studied different creatures on the islands.BHe completed his famous book on the islands.CHe was touched by the geography of the islands.DHe was attracted by wellknown animals of the islands.47Which of the following plays a role in making the islands “a paradise for wildlife”？AAnimals on the islands feed on grass.BLocal government forbids killing wildlife.CPeople cannot visit the islands as they wish.DTourists are not allowed to touch the animals.48Your stay on the islands will be most impressive mainly because of _.Athe beautiful sea views BDarwins inspiring tripCa closer view of animals Dvarious daring activities49Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?AA Unique Attraction for Wildlife LoversBGalapagos as a Paradise for AdventurersCCharles Darwin as a Symbol of GalapagosDA Successful Example of Wildlife ProtectionBIt was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night.The morning after the storm，though，was beautiful：blue skies，warm air and a calm，inviting sea touching the shore gently.My father realised it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him.I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing，but I decided to go all the same. Im_so_glad_I_did.On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast，but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape.After all，it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea.As we got on board，we noticed two big humps(脊背)in the distance.On approaching them，we saw it was a mother whale with her baby.We couldnt believe itthere arent any whales along the coast here.The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay，in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.The little baby whaleactually as big as our boatwas obviously stuck and could not move.The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly，making big tohirlpools(漩涡) and waves.“Shes trying to help her baby，but on the wrong side，” my father said.At this point，my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and，heading the boat towards the baby whale，pushed it gently.With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water.Then it swam up right beside its mum.They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction.We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel.Slowly，they let us lead them，Sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breatheand to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes.Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea，the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes，but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half.That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day.Nearly four decades later，I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.50The author says “Im so glad I did.”(in Para.2)because _.Ahe witnessed the whole process of fishingBhe enjoyed the beauty of the calm seaChe experienced the rescue of the whalesDhe spent the weekend with his family51The harbour survived the storm owing to _.Athe shape of the harbour Bthe arms of the bayCthe still water in the channel Dthe long coast line52The mother whale failed to help her baby because _.Ashe had stayed in the polluted water for too longBthe whirlpools she had made were not big enoughCshe had no other whales around to turn to for helpDthe waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction53What is the theme of the story?ASaving lives brings people a sense of happiness.BFishing provides excitement for children.CIts necessary to live in harmony with animals.DIts vital to protect the environment.CMan is a land animal，but he is also closely tied to the sea.Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man.The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world.Today，nearly twothirds of the worlds population live within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.In the modern technological world，the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive(continue to live)Resources on land are beginning to be used up.The sea，however，still can be hoped to supply many of mans needs.The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by mans technology is impressive.Oil and gas explorations have been carried out for nearly 30 years.Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined.Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food.The culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practised in the past mainly by Oriental_people.Besides oil and gas，the sea may offer now sources of energy.Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship.Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy.Technology is enabling man to explore even more deeply under the sea.The development of strong，new materials has made this possible.The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve.Experts believe that by the year 2000 the problems that prevent us from exploiting fully the food，minerals，and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.54The sea serves the needs of man because_.Ait provides man with food Bit offers oil to manCit supplies man with minerals Dall of the above55We can conclude from this passage that_.Athe sea resources have largely been used upBthe sea，in the broad sense，has not yet been developedCthe problems that prevent us from using the food，minerals，and energy sources of the sea have already been solvedDby the year 2000，the technology will be good enough to exploit all the sea resources56The underlined words “Oriental people” in the fourth paragraph probably mean_.Athe people in Asia BAfrican peopleCEuropean people DAmerican people57The best title for this passage is_.ASea Harvest BSea FoodCTechnology for Exploiting the Sea DMan and the SeaDScientists have found what look like caves on Mars(火星)，and say they could be protecting life from the planets terrible environment.The first caves discovered beyond the Earth appear as seven mysterious black dots on the pictures sent back by NASAs Mars Odyssey orbiter.Each as large as a football field，they may be openings into natural caves below the Martian surface.“If there is life on Mars，there is a good chance youd find it in caves，”said Jut Wynne，one of the researchers who noticed the features while working on a US Geological Survey Mars Cave Detection Program.Jonathan Clarke，a geologist with the Mars Society of Australia，yesterday described the discovery as exciting.One photo taken at night by an infrared imager (红外线成像器)showed one hole to be unusually warm，suggesting hot air trapped during the day is flowing out.“I said：Wow，thats a cave”Dr.Clarke said excitedly.“People have been looking for these for a long time；now we have found them.”He agreed such caves would be perfect places to hunt for life escaping from the bitterly cold，radiationsoaked(充满辐射的)，dry surface.“Tiny drops of water could collect inside，”he said.“If there are gases coming out，they could provide energy for a whole range of bacteria.A cave is also a protection from radiation；the surface of Mars is exposed to high levels of space radiation.”The caves probably formed when tubeshaped lava flows(管状岩浆流)spread across the planet long ago.The outside of the tubes cooled，forming solid walls，while something hotter inside allowed the remaining lava to flow out，forming caves.58What does the passage mainly talk about?AHow the caves were formed on Mars.BHow scientists found these caves on Mars.CCaves on Mars may be full of hot air or a sign of life.DScientists have completely recognized the surface of Mars.59We can learn from the passage that_.Awater has already been found on MarsBthe scientists found all the caves at nightCit is certain that there is life in these cavesDthe surface of Mars is bitterly cold，radiationsoaked and dry60Necessary conditions for life on Mars mentioned in the passage may include_.Alava and energy Bwater and radiation from spaceCgases and lava Dwater and protection from radiation答 案.1.ved (to be) highly effective7.for the car to pass through8.to have/show no mercy on9.set out for the Antarctic10.be carried out.11.选B本题第1,3空均表示特指，而第2空中用短语at the mercy of。故选B。12选Btendency towards“有的倾向”为固定搭配；attendance出席；pretence佯装；fancy想象的事物。13选C本题考查连词的用法。句意：尽管Kate只是个孩子，可她从不感到孤独。由句意可知，两句之间为转折关系。故选C项。even though尽管；ever since从那以后；now that既然；even与 as不能搭配。14选D考查情态动词的用法。对话语境表明，William做了本不应该做的事，故用“shouldhavev.ed”结构。15选Atip意为“尖端，尖”，指塔、手指、尾巴等的尖、尖端、顶端。根据句意可以判断出发这个音的时候要把舌尖抵住下齿。故A项正确。top为“顶，顶部”常指山、树等的顶端，也可指事物的上层部分；peak意为“山峰，最高点”，作尖端解时，指胡须等的尖儿；pole意为“棒，竿，杆”。16选A本题考查形容词的区别。be convenient to sb.意思是“对某人方便”与下文题意相符合。fair意为“公平的”；easy意为“容易的”；comfortable意为“舒适的”，这三项与题意不符。17选B否定副词nowhere位于句首句子应用倒装语序。18选B考查there be结构的变形。可以理解为：It happened that there was no one in the building when the fire broke out.there be结构的其他变形有：There seems/might/must/is said/ought to.。19选B考查连词的用法。句意：失败从来就不是令人愉快的事。但是一旦你学会从失败中汲取教训，它就会对你的生活产生积极的影响。从语境逻辑判断，此处应为：一旦就。故选once。once引导一个条件句。20选B在此题中refer to是“借助，参考，查看”的意思；根据句意可以判断出，他作了一个小时的报告没有参考笔记。bring up培养；look up查找；try on试穿。21选D句意：我尽力地撕扯这个包，但是不能撕碎。tear at撕扯，tear up撕碎。故选D项。22选C本题考查主谓一致用法。当“主语along with/with/together withn./pron.”结构作主语时，其谓语动词的单复数应与主语保持一致。因Professor Smith作主语，故应用单数谓语动词is working。23选Ahave mercy on sb.是固定搭配，意思是“怜悯某人，可怜某人”。24选A句意：Green 先生详细而完整地记录了他所有的商务开支。precise“精确的，准确的，详细的”；efficient“有效率的”；guilty“有罪的”；evident“明显的”。由句意可知选A项。25选B考查虚拟语气。so that引导的结果状语从句中使用虚拟语气，其动词形式用would/could/might/shouldv.。.26.选Aplay a(an).part in.为固定搭配，意思是“在中起着作用”。27选C句中with为解题线索，share.with.“与分享”，为习惯搭配。此处指居里夫妇与Henri Becquerel共同获得了诺贝尔物理奖。28选B序数词前加不定冠词，表示“又一，再一”，a second time“再一次”。29选Cwork on.“从事”。30选Bfight a battle“跟作斗争”。31选Dbe born in.“出生于”。32选D由后文的her mother可知，此处为她父亲。33选Aencourage“鼓励”。指她的兴趣得了父亲的鼓励与支持。34选Bbecome a scientist“成为一个科学家”。turn用做系动词时，后边的名词前不用冠词，因此，排除C项。35选Agraduate from.“毕业于”。36选Dgo on with sth.“继续做某事”，也可用go on doing sth.。但keep和keep on均接doing的形式。37选Bbe allowed to do sth.“被允许做某事”。可以说agree to do.，但不能说agree sb.to do.，故排除D项。38选Bin order to do“为了做”。
