viti lev-great fiji-is the largest island. here youll find the capital suva and the international airport at nadi vatoa, on the other hand, is a tiny island in the farthest part of hiji. then there are 331 other islands, many of them with places to stay. with less than a million people living on islands, youll never feel crowded and with a climate（气候）that changes only for five degrees between seasons, theres never a bad time to come. from cities to villages, from mountains to beaches, from water sports to wooden artworks, fiji can give you more adventures and special experiences than you could find almost any where in the world. whenever you come , wherever you go ,youre sure to see some unforgettable events , from war dances to religious （宗教的） songs. from market days to religious days. its not just staged for tourists; its still a part of everyday life in fiji and any one of us can enjoy fijis spirit by being part of the traditional （传统的） sharing of yaqonaa drink made from the root of a fiji plant so why not join us for the experience of a lifetime? 46. where is the international airport of fiji? a. in suva b. in sydney c. on the island of vatoa d. on the island of viti levu 47. what does the text tell us about fijian people ? a. they invented “fiji time” for visitors b. they stick to a traditional way of lift c. they like to travel from place to place d. they love taking adventures abroad 48. one of the things that make fiji a tourist attraction is a. its comfortable hotels b. its good weather all year round c. its exciting football matches d. its religious beliefs banimals can move from place to place, but plants cannot. when an animal is under attack, it can run away or fight back. plants certainly cannot run away, and they lack teeth and claws. but plants can defend themselves by using both physical and chemical means.some plants have their own ways to keep animals away. for example, the leaves of the holly plant have sharp spines (刺) that discourage grass-eating animals. holly leaves on lower branches have more spines than leaves on upper branches. this is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach.some plants, such as the oak tree, have thick and hard leaves that are difficult for animals to eat. some grasses may contain a sandy material; eating such grasses wears down the animals teeth.many plants also have chemical defenses. some plants produce chemicals that taste bitter or cause an unpleasant reaction. some plants may fight against an attack by increasing the production of these chemicals. when a caterpillar (毛虫) bites a tobacco leaf, the leaf produces a chemical messenger. this messenger sends to the roots the information to produce more nicotine. the higher levels of nicotine discourage the caterpillar.many plants depend on both physical and chemical defenses. a certain plant in china, for instance, has prickly (多刺的) leaves, and each prickle contains poisonous venom (毒液). a single experience with this kind of plant will teach an animal to stay away from it in the future.49. the holly plant has more spines on the lower leaves because most animals_. aare not tall enough blike the lower leaves onlycare not clever enough dcan get the lower leaves easily50. to defend themselves, oak trees use_. achemical means bphysical meanscbitter chemicals dsandy materials51. how does tobacco protect itself against an attack from a caterpillar? aits leaves fight against the attack by physical means.bits roots send a messenger to discourage the caterpillar.cits roots increase the production of nicotine when it is attacked.dits leaves produce poisonous sand to drive the caterpillar away.52. what would be the best title for this passage? aplants and animals bhow plants defend themselvescattacks and defenses dhow animals eat plant leavescif you are afraid of the dark，its not a big dealits perfectly normal to feel afraid after all，animals do too. “fear matters，”says karen warkentin，an ecologist“its a good thing，” she adds, “because fear makes you do things that keep you alive.”like kids，many animals experience fear and they respond to the feeling in variety of waysa frightened turtle pulls its head and legs inside its shella small fish will swim away when a big，hungry fish approachessome animals respond to fear in ways you might not expectthe first example is that the fear of being eaten can scare some frogs right out of their eggs. warkentin made the surprising discovery while studying redeyed tree frogs in costa rica.in this species，female frogs attach jellylike clumps（果冻一样的块状物）of their eggs to the undersides of leavesthe leaves hang on branches that dangle（悬挂）over pondsafter they hatch from the eggs，the tadpoles（蝌蚪）then fall into the water，where they eventually grow into adult frogs.tree frog eggs usually grow for 6 days before hatchingif they sense that a hungry snake is about to attack，however，they can hatch up to 2 days ahead of schedule. as the snakes are unable to swim，by falling into the water early，the tadpoles can escape.if hatching early helps protect redeyed tree frogs from snakes，you might wonder why their eggs dont always hatch soonerit turns out that hatching early brings its own dangeronce tadpoles land in the water，hungry fish and other animals like to eat them toostaying in their eggs for a full 6 days，then，allows frog embryos（胚胎）to grow big and strongthis extra growth improves their chances of surviving in the water53. it can be inferred from the passage that fears_. ahelp animals grow bigger and strongerbare less common among young animalschelp animals move a lot to fit the environmentdare more or less important in order for animals to survive54. we are told in the passage that tree frogs_. aface danger both inside their eggs and in the waterbwill grow fast if they fall into the water latercare surprisingly clever when inside their eggsdstay in their eggs longer if they are frightened55. why do the tadpoles hatch up to 2 days ahead of the schedule？because_.athey like falling into the water earlybthey want to grow into adult frogcthey sense a hungry snake is about to attackdfrog embryos can grow strong56. what is the best title of the passage ？ awhat is fearbwhy do we feel afraidcyou feel afraid，animals do toodfear is a good thingdearlier this year, the environmental protection agency proposed a stricter nationwide health standard for smog-causing pollutants that would bring substantial benefits to millions of americans. with a final rule expected by the end of this month, some opponents, mainly from industrial and oil-producing states, are pushing back. they say investments required to produce cleaner air are too expensive and not scientifically justified.lisa jackson, the e.p.a. administrator, needs to stick to her guns. this is only the first of several political tests to come this fall, as she also seeks to tighten rules governing individual pollutants like mercury and global warming gases like carbon dioxide. the health standard she is proposing covers ground-level ozone, commonly known as smog, which is formed when sunlight mixes with pollutants from factories, refineries, power plants and automobiles. ozone is a major health threat, contributing to heart disease and various respiratory (呼吸道的) problems. ms. jacksons proposalto reduce the permitted level of smog in the air from the current 75 parts per billion to between 60 parts per billion and 70 parts per billionis sensible, no matter what industrys defenders may claim. it had been recommended by the agencys independent scientific panel but rejected by the bush administration, which proposed a weaker standard. industry will have to make investments in cleaner power plants, and new technologies may be required. as it is, about half the counties that monitor ozone levels are not yet in compliance with current standards, let alone the proposed standard. fears about burdening industry raised by critics like george voinovich, a republican of ohio, and mary landrieu, a democrat of louisiana, cannot be dismissed out of hand, especially in the middle of a recession (萧条). but the health benefits, e.p.a. says, far outweigh the costs, and the time frame for compliance (服从) is generous. 57. why are some people strongly against a stricter limitation of smog-caused pollutants? abecause they have to live a poorer life.bbecause they think they have to spend more money.cbecause they hold different political view.dbecause they want to make more money.58. what does ms jackson propose to do? ato reduce the permitted smog level as much as possible.bto raise the permitted smog level as much as possible.cto keep the permitted smog level from 60 to 70 to 75 parts per billion.dto lower the permitted smog level from 75 to 60 to 70 parts per billion.59. what is the attitude of the author to the smog-controlling issue? aobjective.bsubjective.ccritical.dunknown.60. which of the following can serve as the best title of the whole passage? acleaner power plant on the way.bsay no to smog pollutants.clower smog pollutant, better our life.ddebate on smog pollutants.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从下框的af选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。a. lack of stone images also reflects religious belief.b. art is a good means to know about peoples faith.c. artists express their feelings and opinions in their works.d. people know more about our culture through learning art history.e. art is by all means relevant to history.f. art history provides information of different places and people.61_a study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than it is possible to learn in general history classes. most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics and war. but art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology.62_in addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors-or of people very different from our own-can be provided by art. in short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly
