Most animals must live in a group, and even a plant grows close together with others of the same kind. Sometimes one living thing kills another, one eats and the other is eaten. Each kind of life eats another kind of life in order to live, and together they form a food chain(链条). Some food chains are simple, while others are not. But all food chains begin with the sun, and all food chains become broken up if one of the links disappears.All life needs sunlight to live on. But only plants can use sunlight directly. Plants are factories. They make food from sunlight, water and things in the soil and air. Plants feed all other living things. Animals can only use the suns energy after it has been changed into food by plants. Some animals feed directly on plants, others eat smaller animals. Meat-eating animals are only eating plants indirectly.What about human beings? We are members of many food chains. We eat rice, vegetables, and fruits and so on. We also eat meat and drink milk. But men often break up the food chains. They kill wild animals. They also make rivers, lakes and seas polluted, when these rivers, lakes and seas are polluted, the fish in them can not be eaten. If men eat the fish, they will get strange diseases.Each form of life is linked to all others. Breaking the links puts all life in danger.36.

BOne of the things I always believe is that no matter how bad something is, you can take something positive out of it. The one time I wasnt sure of that was on September 11.I usually wake up at 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning. That day, I happened to wake up earlier. I turned on the TV and I saw that a plane had crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. My first reaction was that it was a terrible accident. Then I saw another plane fly into the South Tower and I realized that I was witnessing an act of terrorism（目击恐怖袭击）.My wife and I spent the day watching the terrible pictures over and over again. When I watched family members looking for their loved ones, the pain in their eyes was something I would never forget. I couldnt understand how something this terrible could have happened.It wasnt until a few weeks after September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did come from this tragedy(悲剧). People seem different now, more understanding, more tolerant（宽容的）. Little things that seemed to be such a trouble before are no longer big things. Personally, I am more tolerant than I was. I realize life is too short to let myself get worried over small things.People go to work and dont come back. One moment theyre living and the next minute theyre not. And, it doesnt matter who you are, there is nothing you can do about it. We never know when our time here will be over, so we all need to make the most of every minute we have.You try to learn from what happened. You cant be used up by it. You cant live by it. All you can do is just live.42. The word positive in the passage probably means _.A. bad B. good C. real D. terrible43. When did the writer know it was an act of terrorism?A. Late in the morning.B.

Whats the best title of this passage?A. A Report about September 11 B. September 11 and My FamilyC. September 11 and My Turn D. The Tragedy of September 1 C I have become very interested in the importance of memory in our lives. Most people know that the brain controls how the body works. The brain also controls what the mind thinks, how we feel, how we work on information, and how we understand things. I am interested in how people remember, what they remember, and how they use and improve their memories. Memory plays an important role in learning and thinking. People have different abilities to remember. Stress, fatigue, emotional problems, and illness can decrease the ability to remember. General good health contributes to good memory. Practice also improves memory. People gather and remember information in different ways. Some people remember colors or smells or sounds. Other people find it easier to remember spoken words. While still others remember printed words easily. We have two kinds of memory long-term memory and short-term memory. Long-term memory is the ability to remember events from the distant past. Long-term memory is often the strongest and lasts throughout a persons life. One kind of long-term memory is called “screen memory.” This means that many experiences we get are put together in the mind as one memory. Short-term memory is the ability to remember events in the recent past, for example, the name of someone you met at a party last night. Short-term memory is often challenged by stress, illness, and aging. Many of us have, or have had, grandparents whore able to remember events from their childhood, but are unable to remember what happened yesterday. Most people can only remember seven items in order. This is why telephone numbers, for example, are seven digits (digits: 0-9) long. Not all memories are correct, but they all tell us something about the person who is doing the remembering. The memory may tell us what the rememberer likes or dislikes, what he or she wishes, and it may also tell us about his or her fears. The study of memory may also provide information about the health or illness of a person. This is a very exciting frontier in biological science. There is still a lot for us to learn. 47. What does the underlined word “decrease” mean?A. improve B. destroy C. go down to a lower level D. make more effort48. Why are the old unable to remember whats happened recently? A. Because they dont want to. B. Because the events are not in the past.C. Because the old age affects short-term memory. D. Because short-term memory lasts a few days.49What can you infer from the fourth paragraph?A. Nine digits are used for telephone numbers. B. People can remember more than seven items in order. C. Telephone numbers will still keep seven digits long. D. Stress affects short-term memory less than illness. 50. Whats the main idea of the last paragraph? A. We should go on studying memory in the future. B. Some memories can provide us more information. C. Memories can tell us something about what one remembers. D. We can know something else about the person by his memory. DSomeone says that it is unfair to judge the book by its cover, or the mans intelligence and abilities by his looks. It is true that Albert Einstein was not a picture of elegance (优雅) in his shapeless sweaters and baggy pants; and his refusal to wear ties and socks never hid his genius. But genius has its own special advantages, and Einstein never had to worry about peoples opinions about him. Among ordinary people, looks do mean something. While a mans clothes dont say anything about his intelligence, they say plenty about his personality, about his judgment （判断力）and about the opinion that he has of himself. “If that man had any sense,” reasons a possible employer(雇主), “Wouldnt he try to look attractive enough to make me want to hire him? Is he too lazy to make the effort? What kind of a worker can he be? Does he feel so bad about himself, and could his judgment be correct? Perhaps he doesnt really want to work, or like to be taken seriously. Is he a trouble maker? Or is it just that he is, after all, stupid?” The same kind of question will come to the mind of anyone who sees a person wearing, by chance, the wrong kind of clothes for any special events. The man who appears at a party or a reception in a not-too-clean shirt, without tie, or at a business meeting with two-days growth of beard (胡须)will never be mistaken for an absent-minded genius. People will think it is true that he is rude, arrogant (傲慢的), or anxious to be “different”. Right or not, everyone reaches a decision about his personality and situation. If the decision is wrong, the man has nobody to blame but himself; he has delivered the wrong message. 51. What does the underlined phrase “had any sense” mean? A. understood well B. had a clear meaning C. realized D. felt 52. Which of the following is NOT true? A. People are very likely to judge a person by looks. B. Peoples judgment about a person is greatly influenced by his looks. C. People may make wrong decisions if they judge a person by his looks.D. A persons looks can hide his intelligence, personality or something else in some ways. 53. Which of the following can be the title for this passage? A. How to Look Attractive B. Clothes Make A Man C. Never Judge A Book by Its Cover D. How Clothes Make A Man
