The advertisement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in Richland Hills any day between 10：00 and 4: 00. Since I work from 9: 00 to 5: 30, the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45minute lunch break. Unfortunately, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes waiting for the bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip. So I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again next day. On Thursday, my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly 20 minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office, I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back across the town. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi, it was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to hear the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was “relieved” to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, however，I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets.21The man learned _ that there would be a concert last Friday.Afrom his friends Bfrom one of his workmates Cover the radio Dfrom the newspaper22He tried to go to the theatre every day but managed to get there only _.Aonce Btwice Cthree times Dfour times23One day the man took _ to get to the theatre by bus.Afortyfive minutes Bfifteen minutes Cjust twenty minutes Dover an hour24The underlined word “relieved” may best be replaced by _.Asurprised BpleasedCpuzzled DsorryBThe Most Wonderful IslandsThe Palm Islands are the largest artificial islands in the world and are under construction in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. They are being developed as tourist, leisure, and residential resorts, and will increase the coastline of the country by 120 kilometres.After four years of planning and careful consideration of the environmental issues, construction started in 2001. Dutch engineers with experience of reclaiming land from the sea were employed in the building of the first two islands. The site for all three islands is an area of the sea where the water is not very deep. Sand is taken from the seabed and sprayed into the construction site. Although the shallow water “facilitates” this process, the islands are still very exposed to the currents and tidal movements of the sea. Rocks are used to hold the sand in place resulting in a large crescent(月状的)structure. This acts as a breakwater and protects the islands from the sea.The first two islands are in the shape of date palm trees and consist of a trunk and 17 frond, or leaves coming off the trunk. The first island, named Palm Jumeirah, has three fivestar hotels in the trunk, and luxury homes in the leaves. It is astonishing that when these homes went on sale in 2004, they were all sold within three days.The second palm, Jebel Ali, was started in 2002 and is designed to be an entertainment centre. Six marinas(小游艇船坞) are planned, with a water theme park, and homes built on stilts(桩柱) in the water.The Palm Deira planned to be the largest of the three islands, with a length of 14 km and a width of 8.5 km, an area larger than the city of Paris. It will consist of residential properties, marinas, shopping malls, sports facilities, and clubs. These will be open to both residents and tourists.More artificial islands, the World Islands, are now being constructed near the Palm Jumeirah. They consist of 300 private islands grouped into the shape of the continents of the world and will be used for estates, private homes, community islands, and resorts.Unquestionably, these artificial islands are one of the wonders of the modern world. They will also maintain Dubais status as one of the leading tourist destinations in the region.25According to the passage, all the following are right EXCEPT _.ASome Dutch engineers are experienced in reclaiming land from the seaBThe islands are being built in the shallow water of the seaCAll the luxury homes on Palm Jumeirah were soldDThe World Islands are bigger than the Palm Jumeirah26The underlined word “facilitates” in the second paragraph probably means _.Aholds back Bmakes easier Cslows down Dleads to27What is the passage written for?ATo introduce the wonderful artificial islands. BTo show how to build artificial islands.CTo offer a travel service for tourists.DTo prove the Palm Islands are the largest artificial islands in the world.C“Plants were expected to get larger with increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but changes in temperature, humidity and nutrient availability seem to have “trumped” the benefits of increased carbon dioxide，” said researchers from the National University of Singapore.45 percent of the species studied now reach smaller adult sizes than they did in the past. The researchers pointed out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats, caused by climate change, are possible reasons for shrinking creatures. “We do not yet know the mechanisms involved, or why some organism are getting smaller while others are unaffected，” the researchers said. “Until we understand more, we could be risking negative consequences that we cant yet quantify.”The change was big in coldblooded animals. Only two decades of warmer temperatures were enough to make reptiles (爬行动物) smaller. An increase of 1 degree centigrade caused nearly a 10 percent increase in metabolism (新陈代谢). Greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises and little lizards. Fish are smaller now too. Though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers, experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growth. There is a recent report on warmer temperatures negative effects on plankton (浮游生物), the base of the marine ecosystem.Warmblooded animals werent immune from the size change caused by climate change. Many birds are now smaller. Mammals have been miniaturized too. Soay sheep are thinner. Red deer are weaker. And polar bears are smaller, compared with historical records. This is not the first time this has happened in Earths history.55 million years ago, a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees, spiders and ants to shrink by 50 to 75 percent over several thousand years. That event happened over a long time than the current climate change.The speed of modern climate change could mean organisms may not respond or adapt quickly enough, especially those with long generation times. So, it is likely that more negative influences of climate change will be shown in future.28Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Why do some species become smaller? B. How does temperature change in Earths history?C. Climate change has many negative effects D. Species become smaller as climate warms29The underlined word “trumped” in the first paragraph can be replaced by _.A. beaten B. increased C. strengthened D. equaled30Researchers from the National University of Singapore believe that _.A. too many studies on animals size have been doneB. all the animals on the earth have become smallerC. how climate change affects animals size has not been found clearlyD. climate change has more negative effects on warmblooded animals31What can we learn from the passage?A. Bird have suffered more from climate change than fish.B. Climate change have even affected plankton negatively.C. Coldblooded animals become smaller because of the lack of food.D. The warming event has never happened in Earth s history before.DFor most seventh graders, life doesnt get much harder than a history test. But for Grant Reed of Bellville, Ohio, its his own current events that are so painful. “Honestly, I dont want to die，” Grant says. Last year, doctors at Nationwide Childrens Hospital in Columbus found a tumor(肿瘤) in Grants brain. They cut it out, but the surgery left him with strokelike symptoms. Plus, he had to go through months of radiation and chemotherapy to try to stop the spread of the disease.Yet, through it all, Grant has shown remarkable determination, which he owes, partly, to Ohio State football. His parents, Troy and Denise, were both in the OSU marching band and fell in love during halftime of the Michigan game. His cat is named after the team Buckeye. His wardrobe is painted scarlet (the color of the teams sportswear). The point is, almost nothing mattered more to Grant than Ohio State footballuntil he got sick, of course.“I didnt like the word cancer,” Grant says. So he decided not to use the word. Instead, the kid named his cancer Michigan and insisted everyone in his life refer to it as such, because Ohio State always beats Michigan. That was something he could understand and make it into a competition. He was going to beat this disease.Its now been more than a year since Grant issued that announcement. “And if you look at his scans,” Dr. Randal Olshefski at Nationwide Childrens says，“Theres nothing there. Theres a big space, but theres no tumor.”“Grant is beating Michigan. And although much of it has to go to science, dont discount the semantics(语义学). You have to do something to make it a disease you can fight. And for Grant，that was naming it Michigan,”his parents say.This weekend, Ohio State and Michigan will be battling like their lives depend on it. But in this house, the Reed family will be watching with a calm insight: its just a game.32. Whats the main idea of the first paragraph?AHistory is a difficult subject.BGrant suffered a serious disease.CThe operation was successful.DThe tumor has spread all over.33. From the second paragraph, we can infer that_.AGrant was born a football fanBfootball makes a full manCinterest is the best teacherDGod helps those who help themselves34. Apart from radiation and chemotherapy，_ is helping Grant beat the disease.Athe semantics Bhis strong determination Cthe football game Dhis cat Buckeye35. By saying that its just a game, we can infer that the Reed family_.Ahas lost interest in the match between Ohio State and MichiganBbelieves Michigan will surely beat Ohio State this weekendChas a better understanding of lifeDviews the match as a matter of life and death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。The rules of surfing the InternetDo you obey the rules while surfing the Internet?Your Security Is Your ProblemYou know there are signs in every parking garage saying theyre not responsible for lost or stolen items in your vehicle._36_Youre Speaking in a Public Forum(论坛)Everything you post online is equal to posting it on the front page of the newspaper and delivering it to everyone around you.

I did not have the _41_ or energy to carry out my traditional Christmas decorating and baking activities. What was the point, anyway? It was going to be a _42_ Christmas after all. _43_，the neighborly nature of west Nebraska residents started to trickle (陆续临) in.There was a _44_ on the door one evening. It was Jeffs new colleague, John Smith, and his wife, Phyllis. The Smiths had stopped by to _45_ us to town with a loaf of homemade bread. They pointed out a _46_ on the porch (门廊). Apparently the doorbell wasnt working in the cold snowy weather and we had _47_ a visit from the Browns, our acrossthestreet neighbors, who brought us a Christmas card and more Christmas cookies.The _48_ feelings brought by these thoughtful gestures lasted longer than the food.As Jeff and I were clearing preChristmas _49_ from our driveway, Ernie Guzman came over from next door to _50_ us to dig out.Then, we received an invitation to _51_ a Christmas Eve meal with our neighbors, Ernie and Nancy Sommer, and their _52_a 90yearold lady, who also had no family in the immediate area with whom to spend the holiday.Our Christmas Eve was quite merry, thanks to our _53_. Our Christmas morning _54_ was special, thanks to the Smiths gift of bread. I was so _55_ for these gestures of welcome, especially during the holidays.This year, we were again unable to be with our families for Christmas. The _56_ and work schedules just made things too difficult. _57_ that sense of Christmas isolation (孤立) all too well, we decided to try to round up some other folks who were _58_ in the holidays.Lonely people are all around us, but most of us _59_ notice them. Just take a look around you. Sometimes, the smallest _60_ gesture can make a world of difference.41A. chanceB. anxiety C. time Dability42A. lonely B. freeC.
