(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。alooking for some inspiration or the “write” kind of ideas for your creative stories? to start with, some writers describe winter by using their five senses or their imagination. others write on their favorite winter activity. whatever you choose to write about, working on a winter story can always help to improve your writing skills. now read the following story and see if it helps get rid of any icy writing block you ve been struggling with.a winter adventure beep, beep. beep-beep: the alarm clock rang. slowly, i got out of warm bed down onto the wooden floor which the winter had thrown its cold upon. the bitter cold temperature penetrated （穿透）my socks and i hurried to put my feet in shoes. looking out of the window, i watched the white snow, soft and thick, drop onto rooftops and trees. half an hour later, finishing the last of my hot chocolate, i prepared to enter the adventure that waited for me outside. i buttoned my jacket and fastened my boots. hat on, i opened the door and was greeted by the winter coldness.in the depths of winter, the early morning did not have the rush of the rest of the year. most of my neighbours were put off by the cold, and stayed in bed until the sun had climbed higher into the sky. unseen by those who remained locked inside their homes, warm in their beds, i enjoyed being alone with the beauty of the wintertime. those indoors were unable to appreciate the snow-scapes, ice crystals, frost and the crisp（清新的）breeze. for them, the coming of winter meant just the arrival of the cold.appreciation depends on contrasts. one cannot love the warmth of april if one has not known the freezing cold of winter. later that year, the heat of the sun on my skin would be all the more wonderful for my memories of that cold morning and others like it.46. the underlined word “adventure” refers to_. agetting out of bed on the cold winter morning.benjoying the loveliness of the winter outdoorscgoing skiing on the cold winter morningdthrowing snowballs with friends.47. according to the story a winter adventure, most of the neighbours _. adidnt work in winterbstayed up late in wintercmissed the beauty of winterdenjoyed the seasons except winter48. which of these statements is true according to the story a winter adventure? aof all the seasons, the writer loves winter most.bthe writer regrets that he went out on the freezing cold winter morning.cthe writer believes contrast makes our experiences of the seasons lovelier.dthe writer values the autumn and summer more than the winterbrecently, a student used his personal digital assistant (pda) to film a female teacher scolding and tearing the work of a classmate. the public discussion that the incident caused started on the internet. however, when it came to the medias attention, it quickly became a major topic in the education circles. the reactions so far suggest that the focus of the debate has been on one question: whom to blame?teachers who are anxious to defend their professional dignity have tried to put the blame on the students. they mentioned their right to privacy 隐私）and for this reason they requested the ministry of education (moe) to prohibit pdas in schools. on the other hand, some parents and students have taken a different position. they feel that the teacher is also at fault. caught up in the war of words between both sides, people are no longer interested in the “truth” of the matter which seems now unimportant. it was left to newspapers to discover the central point of the controversial issue, by stressing the problems that are not always easily noticed in our educational system.for those responsible for educating the young, this pda incident conveys the message that “times have changed”，a reality that must have been felt even more strongly by the female teacher when reflecting on this unpleasant experience. different times call for different professional approaches in education. the ability to understand the students they are teaching has always been the quality of successful teachers. despite some factors, the incident shows that the teacher lacks good qualities on her part. besides, the rules under current system to deal with recalcitrant students need to be improved. also, it is an example which shows the issue we are familiar with: what to do with new technology? with pda, the new technology, the interaction (交流）between the teacher and students in classroom has been changed.49. the authors purpose in writing this passage is to_. aimprove the teachers way of teachingbstress the using of pda in the classroomcchange the students behavior in the classroomddiscuss the potential problems of educational system50. the underlined word “recalcitrant” in paragraph 3 probably means_? adifficult to controlbinterested in nothingcunwilling to learndready to obey rules51. the writers attitude toward the pda incident is_. aoptimisticbcritical cuncertaindapproval52. what might be the best title for the passage? awhom to blame? bthe pda incidentctimes have changed dwhat to do with new technology?cthe pacific island nation of nauru used to be a beautiful placenow it is an ecological disaster areanaurus heartbreaking story could have one good consequence-other countries might learn from its mistakesfor thousands of years，polynesian people lived in the remote island of nauru，far from western civilizationthe first european to arrive was john fearn in 1798he was the british captain of the hunter, a whaling

1899 when a british mining company discovered phosphate(磷酸盐)on the islandin fact，it found that the island of nauru was nearly all phosphate，which was a very important fertilizer for farmingthe company began mining the phosphatea phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground；it is a strip minewhen a company strip-mines，it removes the to player of soilthen it takes away the material it wantsstrip mining

have translated some of their squirrel-speak.hare, a professor of zoology at the university of maniloha in winnipeg, and his team managed to record squirrels alarm callsthe researchers studied the sounds and then played them back to 60 wild squirrels, which the scientists approached individually with a video recorder to capture(抓拍）their responsessome squirrels lifted their heads up and becamealert(警惕的）creatures that were more frightened simply ran for their lives and dived into cavesin effect then, whistles that mix with chucks say theres an enemy of average threat thats here, and whistles without chucks say theres an enemy of seemingly average threat around here somewhere, while pure chirps say, im hiding here because theres an immediate danger hare tolddiscovery newshare and some other researchers believe such sounds arc part of an advanced language that develops just as all other communication systemsalthough squirrels risk their lives when they call out to warn others of threats, other squirrels might admire this behaviour, thus increasingly the callers social status, like humans who look up to heroes. hare added that other animals, such as birds, probably understand at least some squirrel language, since they also may benefit from the alarm calls.in fact, another canadian study found that deep-voiced, black-capped chickadees have their own language tooaccording to certain research, there are a lot of tidings in chickadees calls, such as directing fellows activities, keeping in contact between mates, and raising alarmswhile chickadees and other birds are often welcomed into gardens by homeowners, squirrels are frequently viewed as pests(害兽）. hare wishes a greater understanding of the complex social lives and communication systems of squirrels will provide “hope that humans will gain a greater appreciation and stop doing harm to these animals”.57the text mainly talks about athe study on the language of squirrelsbthe comparison between squirrels and chickadeescthe calling for the protection of squirrelsdthe ways for squirrels to escape from their enemies58if a squirrel is in a very dangerous situation, it would probably make
