seals.Eared seals have ears that can be seen,and their flippers(鳍状肢)work well on land.True seals have tiny ears,and their flippers work better in the water.Seals spend much of their time in water.But,they must return to the surface to breathe,just like other mammals(哺乳动物).A seals respiratory system(呼吸系统) is adapted(适合的) for water.A seal can go for 40 minutes without a breath.This allows it to dive to a depth of over 2,000 feet.Seals are well designed to swim in the water.Their bodies are very streamlined and their flippers propel(推进)them quickly through the water.Seals also spend considerable time lying around on rocky islands and beaches.But they are clumsy(笨拙的)and move slowly on land using their flippers.Baby seals are born on land after a long,12-month gestation(怀孕) period.The pups develop rapidly.Some are able to swim within a few hours of birth.Walruses(海象) differ from seals in that they are larger and have large tusks.They can be over 10 feet long and over 3,000 pounds.21.Compared with eared seals,true seals .A.have no earsB.cant work on landC.have no flippersD.have ears that can hardly be seen答案:D解析:从第一段最后一句可以得知,true seals有耳朵,只是耳朵很微小(tiny)。22.What makes a seal be able to dive to a depth of over 2,000 feet?A.It spends much of its time in the water.B.It must return to the surface to breathe.C.It can go for 40 minutes without a breath.D.It is well designed to swim in the water.答案:C解析:第三段第三句“This allows it to dive to a depth of over 2,000 feet.”中的this就是指前一句的内容“A seal can go for 40 minutes without a breath”。23.Which of the following statements is true?A.Seals are good swimmers.B.Seals look like a stream.C.Seals move slowly on land because they dont have feet.D.Baby seals grow up on land.答案:A解析:由第三段第四句“Seals are well designed to swim in the water”表明,自然的造化使海豹成为优秀的泳者。24.Seals differ from walruses mostly in .A.looksB.lengthC.weightD.names答案:A解析:由最后一段中的“Walruses differ from seals in that they are larger and have large tusks.”可知,海象与海豹的不同之处在于海象体形更大,长着大大的牙齿,这种特征从外表上可以看出来。B导学号06944010How Americans Began to Eat TomatoesPeople have strange ideas about food.For example,the tomato is a kind of very delicious vegetable.It is one of the useful plants that can be prepared in many ways.It has rich nutrition and vitamins.But in the 18th century,Americans never ate tomatoes.They grew them in their gardens because tomato plants are so pretty.But they thought the vegetable was poisonous(有毒的).They called tomatoes “poison apples”.President Thomas Jefferson,however,knew that tomatoes were good to eat.He was a learned man.He had been to Paris,where he learned to love the taste of tomatoes.He grew many kinds of tomatoes in his garden.The President taught his cook a way for a cream of tomato soup.This beautiful pink soup was served at the Presidents party.The guests thought the soup tasted really good.They never thought their President would serve his honored guests poison apples.Jefferson never spoke to his honored(忠实的)guests about the fact.25.After you read the passage,which of the following do you think is true?A.Americans never ate tomatoes after they began to plant them.B.Americans didnt eat tomatoes in the 18th century.C.Even now Americans dont eat tomatoes.D.In the 18th century Americans ate a lot of tomatoes.答案:B解析:推理判断题。由第一段第五句“But in the 18th century,Americans never ate tomatoes.”可知B项的叙述“在18世纪美国人不吃西红柿”是正确的。26.The passage tells us that Jefferson was a president who learned to love the taste of tomatoes .A.while he was in ParisB.when he was a little boyC.because his parents told him soD.from books答案:A解析:细节理解题。由第二段第三句“He had been to Paris,where he learned to love the taste of tomatoes.”可知答案为A项。27.According to the text, cooked the beautiful pink soup at the Presidents party.A.the President himselfB.a French cookC.the Presidents cookD.the Presidents wife答案:C解析:推理判断题。根据第二段第五句“The President taught his cook a way for a cream of tomato soup.”可推知,是总统的厨师做的西红柿汤。CIn summer,millions of people will head for the beach.And while the ocean can be a great place to swim and play,it may also be useful in another way.Some scientists think that waves could help make electricity.“Have you ever been on a surfboard or boat and felt yourself being lifted up by a wave?Or have you jumped in the water and felt the energy as waves crashed over you?” asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland.“There is certainly a lot of energy in waves.”Scientists are working on using that energy to make electricity.Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean.“The winds start out by making little ripples(波纹)in the water,but if they keep on blowing,those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves,” Taylor said.“Waves are one of natures ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey.”When waves come towards the shore,people can set up dams or other barricades to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine(涡轮).The turbine can then power an electrical generator(发电机).The United States and a few other countries have started doing research on wave energy,and it is already being used in Scotland.The resource is huge.We will never run out of wave power.Besides,wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources,such as oil and coal.Oceans cover three quarters of the earths surface.That would make wave power seem perfect for creating energy around the world.There are some drawbacks,however.Jamie Taylor said that wave power still cost too much money.He said that its effects on animals in the sea were still unknown.Plus,wave power would get in the way of fishing and boat traffic.With more research,however,“Many of these problems might be overcome,” Taylor said.“Demand for energy to power our TVs and computers,drive our cars,and heat and cool our homes is growing quickly throughout the world.Finding more energy sources is very important,for traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may run out some day.”In the future,when you turn on a light switch,an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!28.Which of the following is NOT true?A.Wave power doesnt cost too much money.B.Wave energy is so clean that it doesnt create the same amount of pollution as other energy sources.C.Wave power affects fishing and boat traffic.D.Wave power may affect marine animals.答案:A解析:由倒数第三段的第一句话中的“.wave power still cost too much money.”可知A项错误。29.The underlined word “drawbacks” probably means .A.regretsB.adventuresC.disadvantagesD.difficulties答案:C解析:由上一句“That would make wave power seem perfect for creating energy around the world.”及下文提到的利用波能需要克服的问题可判断,与drawbacks意义相当的词是disadvantages。30.We can infer from the passage that .A.finding more new energy sources is not necessary because of wave energyB.wave energy is a resource that will never run out and will be used all over the worldC.wave power is not quite perfect for creating energy around the worldD.wave power doesnt create any pollution答案:B解析:由第七段中的“We will never run out of wave power.”及倒数第二段中的“Many of these problems might be overcome.”等句子可以推断,波能是一种取之不尽且能够在全世界使用的能源。31.What can be the best title for the passage?A.How to Get Electricity by WavesB.The Advantages of Wave EnergyC.Can Waves Make Electricity?D.The Disadvantages of Wave Energy答案:C解析:本文主要是论及波能的使用前景。DWhat do you know about the sea?We know that it looks very pretty when the sun is shining on it.We also know that it can be very rough when there is a strong wind.What other things do we know about it?The first thing to remember is that the sea is very big.When you look at the map of the world you will find there is more water than land.The sea covers about three quarters of the world.The sea is also very deep in some places.It is not deep everywhere.Some parts of the sea are very shallow.But in some places the depth of the sea is very great.There is one spot,near Japan,where the sea is nearly 11 kilometers deep!The highest mountain in the world is about 9 kilometers high.If that mountain were put into the sea at that place,there would be 2 kilometers of water above it!What a deep place!If you have swum in the sea,you know that it is salty.You can taste the salt.Rivers,which flow into the sea,carry salt from the land into the sea.Some parts of the sea are saltier than other parts.There is one sea,called the Dead Sea,which is very salty.It is so salty that swimmers cannot sink!Fishes cannot live in the Dead Sea!In most parts of the sea,there are plenty of fishes and plants.Some live near the top of the sea.Others live deep down.There are also millions of tiny living things that float in the sea.These floating things are so small that it is hard to see them.Many fishes live by eating these.The sea can be very cold.Divers who go deep down in the sea know this.On the top the water may be warm.When the diver goes downwards,the sea becomes colder and colder.Another thing happens.When the diver goes deeper,the water above presses down on him.It squeezes(挤) him.Then the diver has to wear clothes made of metal.But he cannot go very deep.Some people who wanted to go very deep used a very strong diving ship!They went down to the deepest part of the sea in it.They went down to a depth of eleven kilometers!32.When does the sea look beautiful?A.When it is calm.B.When the weather is fine.C.When there is a strong wind.D.When there is a storm.答案:B解析:由第一段的第二句“We know that it looks very pretty when the sun is shining on it.”可知,天气好的时候大海看起来很漂亮。33.Why does the author cite the sea somewhere near Japan?A.To show that the sea in some places is very deep.B.To show that the sea in some places is very shallow.C.To show that its depth is 9 kilometers greater than the height of the highest mountain.D.To show that its depth is 11 kilometers greater than the height of the highest mountain.答案:A解析:由第三段第五句“There is one spot,near Japan,where the sea is nearly 11 kilometers deep!”的前一句是“But in some places the depth of the sea is very great.”,所以提到的深达11千米的地方就是为了说明海洋的某些地方非常深。34.Which of the following statements about the Dead Sea is NOT true?A.There are plenty of fishes in it.B.It is a safe place for swimmers.C.It is extremely salty.D.No fish can be found in it.答案:A解析:由第四段最后一句“Fish cannot live in the Dead Sea!”可知,A项表述有误。35.Why cant people go very deep in the sea?A.Because the deepest part of the sea is very cold.B.Because the deepest part of the sea is very rough.C.Because the pressure of the water at great depths is unendurable(无法忍受的).D.Because fierce fish usually live there.答案:C解析:由最后一段中的“When the diver goes deeper,the water above presses down on him.It squeezes him.”可知,当人们到达深海的时候,海水的压力可以大得让人难以忍受,需要借助其他的辅助工具才能进行深海作业。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。Four Steps to Better LearningSheela and Nisha had almost the same level of
