i whispered, maybe. with the key in hand, i was as nervous as i had ever been. at last, i decided to open the door. as soon as i opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. i suddenly realized that the iron door that i had imagined between us did not exist at all. love-it second to none. bthe mississippi is the major river system in the united states. the yangtze is chinas longest river. although a world apart, the two waterways share conservation(保护) concerns that provide a cultural bridge between students in the united states and china, as well as from around the world. the mississippi flows almost 3,800 kilometers from a small lake in minnesota, gathering the waters of 250 other rivers and streams before reaching the gulf of mexico. in mid-may, as spring flowers began to open, about 41 students from a dozen colleges, mostly in the midwest, explored a section of the river in wisconsin and iowa, to learn about the environment, and each other.the students, from the u.s., china and around the world, came to join the river spirit exchange program.the cross-cultural educational experience-set up by the university of wisconsin, madison-based environment and public health network for chinese students - focuses on the mississippi and chinas longest river, the yangtze. this three day get-together featured story-telling, hiking, camping and canoeing, all part of a larger lesson about conservation projects that can be used on both the yangtze and mississippi. while the students learned about the problems challenging the mississippi and yangtze, jeb barzen, a wildlife biologist, explained they should also learn about the importance of bridging each others culture.president of the environment and public health network for chinese students, xiaojun lu, said the mississippi and yangtze rivers are uniting these students from opposite ends of the earth.organizers say the success and spirit of this first gathering of students will lead to other trips, including one down the yangtze.4. where is the source of the mississippi? a. wisconsin b. the gulf of mexico c. minnesota d. iowa5. according to paragraph 8, barzen believes that_ . a. cultural exchange between different countries is of great importance b. the mississippi is more important than the yangtze to the world c. china and the u.s. should work together to protect the environment d. the program encourages technical cooperation between china and the u.s6. what is the passage mainly about? a. a major river system in the united states. b. the differences between the mississippi and the yangtze. c. an educational program about tourism. d. an international cultural exchange programscmost earthquakes occur within the upper 15 miles of the earths surface. but earthquakes can and do occur at all depths to about 460 miles. their number decreases as the depth increases. at about 460 miles one earthquake occurs only every few years. near the surface earthquakes may run as high as 100 in a month, but the yearly average does not vary much. in comparison with the total number of earthquakes each year, the number of disastrous(灾难性的) earthquakes is very small. the extent（扩大） of the disaster in an earthquake depends on many factors. if you carefully build a toy house with an erect set, it will still stand no matter how much you shake the table. but if you build a toy house with a pack of cards, a slight shake of the table will make it fall. an earthquake in agadir, morocco, was not strong enough to be recorded on distant instruments, but it completely destroyed the city. many stronger earthquakes have done comparatively little damage. if a building is well constructed and built on solid ground, it will resist(抵抗) an earthquake. most deaths in earthquakes have been due to faulty building construction or poor building sites. a third and very serious factor is panic. when people rush out into narrow streets, more deaths will result. the united nations has played an important part in reducing the damage done by earthquakes. it has sent a team of experts to all countries known to be affected by earthquakes. working with local geologists and engineers, the experts have studied the nature of the ground and the type of most practical building code for the local area. if followed, these suggestions will make disastrous earthquakes almost a thing of the past. there is one type of earthquake disaster that little can be done about. this is the disaster caused by seismic sea waves, or tsunamis. (these are often called tidal waves, but the name is incorrect. they have nothing to do with tides.) in certain areas, earthquakes take place beneath the sea. these submarine earthquakes sometimes give rise to seismic sea waves. the waves are not noticeable out at sea because of their long wave length. but when they roll into harbors, they pile up into walls of water 6 to 60 feet high. the japanese call them tsunamis, meaning harbor waves, because they reach a sizable height only in harbors. tsunamis travel fairly slowly, at speeds up to 500 miles an hour. an adequate(适当的) warning system is in use to warn all shores likely to be reached by the waves. but this only enables people to leave the threatened shores for higher ground. there is no way to stop the oncoming wave.8. the destruction of agadir is an example of _. a. faulty building construction b. an earthquakes strength c. widespread panic in earthquakes d. ineffective instruments9. the united nations experts are supposed to_ a. construct strong buildings b. put forward proposals(建议) c. detect（探测）disastrous earthquakesd. monitor(监控) earthquakes10. the significance of the slow speed of tsunamis is that people may_. a. notice them out at seab. find ways to stop them c. be warned early enough d. develop warning systems 第2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。(无多余选项) 11 britain may be the most red-headed country in the world. about 1 to 2 percent of the worlds population has red hair, but in the uk the numbers are much higher, with 13 percent of scots, 10 percent of the irish, and 6 percent of people in england having red hair, according to the bbc.12. scientists have tried to explain why some people have red hair for some time and now they may have found an answer: the dull weather in britain. the human body needs vitamin d from sunshine, but unfortunately people living in britain do not have enough of it because of its maritime climate. in fact, britain gets even more cloud than countries in the far north of europe. in sweden, for example, the average daily hours of sunshine is 5.4. in scotland it is only 3.1 hours. 13. to deal with this, the dna of people living in these areas has changed slightly; scientists call this a mutation. originally, the coloring on our body is a mixture of two kinds of melanin black melanin is suppressed while only red / yellow melanin is made. the result is red hair, light skin color, freckles and a greater sensitivity to sunlight. 14. however, what s more interesting is that the redhead dna mutation is recessive, which means it is hidden and can often skip generations without showing. at least 1.6 million scots carry a redhead gene mutation, and most are unaware that they do. this is why a person who does not have red hair can still produce red-haired children if he or she is a carrier of this special dna. 15. the research on red hair, like many areas of science, is contradictory(不一致). in 2002 researchers showed that redheads are more sensitive to pain, and need more anesthetic during surgery than people with blonde or dark hair. however, in 2005 scientists found that a mcrir mutation gives redheads a higher tolerance for pain. research into these aspects of red hair genetics continues. redheads should though be more careful about their exposure to sunlight as they are at an increased risk of contracting skin cancer. if you are a redhead, the advice is not to stay out of the sun, but to be careful about how much exposure you get, and to cover yourself with a high factor sunscreen.a.weather is to blameb.divided opinionsc. inheriting（遗传） characteristicsd.gene mutation（基因变异）ehome of the redheads第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分35分）26 ：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑 there are
