rose and overturned our ship. fortunately i held a board and was washed up on an island.it was completely dark. on reaching the island，i found a smooth place to lie down. quite tired i slept for a long time. i woke up with a start when i was dazzled (使目眩) by glaring sunlight. how i felt hungry and thirsty！the island with its beautiful landscape at dawn appeared before my eyes.i began to explore the island. it was an uninhabited island surrounded by trees. yellow fruits on the trees made me feel hungry. i tasted one. how sweet and delicious it was！i ate greedily a lot then i lay down comfortably on the soft grass. around me were fragrance (芳香) and singing of birds. there, far away, on the right, a waterfall was falling down the mountainside. i rushed toward it. in the afternoon when i was wandering around the island, i happened to find out a cave hidden behind the thick forest. it was convenient for me to turn it into a place for sleeping for the night.day in day out, nearly two weeks passed by. my food was mere fruit and some fish caught from the stream. sometimes i tried to hunt some wild animals but in vain. had i been equipped with necessary things，i would have enjoyed remaining here for food.one morning i caught sight of a boat. i signaled and shouted loudly. i was rescued but so far i have had the memories of a fairy land which i had once happened to discover!56what did the author do first after he was washed up on the island?ahe looked for a passing ship.bhe found something to eat.che found a place to take a rest.dhe made the island clean.57what does the underlined part “an uninhabited island” in paragraph 3 mean?aan island with beautiful scenes but no fruit.ban island without humans living on it.can island that no humans have visited.dan island with fresh air and trees.58the author wrote his experience in a _ tone.alight bseriouscscared dsharpbin most situations, light helps us see. but when it comes to looking at the night sky, light is actually a kind of pollution. it prevents our view of some of lifes most striking sights: stars, planets, and even galaxies（银河系）.“when i was a little boy, i loved the night sky. i remember looking up and the sky was filled with stars. i became an astronomer because i was amazed by their beauty，” says robert gent，“now in most big cities kids cant see the stars like i did.”normally, about 2，500 individual (单个的) stars are visible to the human eyes without using any special equipment. but because of light pollution, you actually see just 200 to 300 and fewer than a dozen from some cities. only one in three americans can see our own galaxy with the naked eyes. those people live far away from the lights of big cities, office buildings, and shopping malls.fortunately, theres an inexpensive and useful way. if we shine lights down at the ground instead of up into the sky, and use lower brightness levels, we can save big amounts of energy and keep the beauty of the night skies. many cities and towns have passed laws limiting lights at night，making sure enough shine for safety without creating much light pollution.light pollution affects more than our view of the heavens and can harm wildlife. migrating birds （候鸟）sometimes fly over cities and become confused by the brightness, flying in circles until they drop from exhaustion. sea turtles need dark beaches for nesting and wont approach bright lights. too much light at night may even affect human health. for all these reasons, researchers are working on ways to use lights only when and where they are truly needed. everyone deserves to look up at the sky.59according to the text, using our naked eyes, _apeople in remote（遥远的） areas can see more stars than those in big citiesbover one third americans can see our own galaxycabout one in three americans in big cities can see our own galaxydamericans can only see 200 to 300 stars60many cities and towns have passed laws limiting lights at night mainly to _asave the electricitybmake sure of cities safetyclet you count the number of starsdavoid much light pollution61the underlined word “exhaustion” in the last paragraph means _aair pollution btirednesscbreath dbrightness62what would be the best title for the text?alight pollution bseeking the skycstars in the sky dcity pollutioncim sure many of you have seen star wars, jurassic park, multiplicity, or many of the other movies that describe cloning. most of what you see in these movies is false. what you dont know is that cloning could be dangerous，to the clone and to our society as a whole. its immoral to have a human clone.cloning means a degree of power and control over another persons physical identity （身份）and that ignores （忽视）their rights and their only personalities. the person doing the cloning would have more power than any parent would have.cloning would also deal with killing embryos（胚胎）. you might not have known, but dolly，the sheep that was cloned in 1996, was one of over 200 sheep embryos and hers was the only embryo that survived. the rest died or were thrown away. imagine if the failure rate was that high when we started to clone humans. more than 200 embryos, the start of 200 human beings, would die for the sake of(为了) just one embryo that would have the same dna as someone else.cloning someone, at this present time, would be extremely dangerous to the birth mother and the clone. in studies done on cows，4 out of 12 birth mothers died. there is a very high failure rate，which is showed in the cloning of dolly. even if you had a few good embryos, failures have been noticeable in animal tests.so，should we work ahead in the world of cloning? i say no. the risks are greater than the benefits. its dangerous to the clone and to the birth mother. we would be killing human lives in the process. it would also be a violation(侵害) of the clones right to its own genetic identity and personality.63why does the author mention some movies in the first paragraph?ato introduce the topic of the article.bto present his idea about the movies.cto state the conclusion first.dto make the article unusual.64from paragraph 3 we can infer that_ahuman cloning is much more difficult than animal cloningbdolly is the most successful one among 200 sheep embryosccloning means running the risk of wasting too much effortdnumbers of baby animals are likely to be created by cloning65what is the best title of the passage?awhat is human cloningbhuman cloning is wrongchow does human cloning happenddiscussion on human cloning第四部分 任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空格1个单词。plant a tree in your community (社区)almost everyone loves trees, but do you know that tree can help sick people recover faster?its true. according to the international society of arboriculture (树木培植), hospital patients have been shown to recover faster when they are given a view with trees. also, while trees certainly benefit any landscape, whether lining streets, decorating urban areas, or growing naturally in the forest, they are actually important in our daily lives.trees improve the quality of the air around us by absorbing dust and other particles (颗粒物)their leaves also absorb harmful gases before we have a chance to take them in. they also protect us from the sun, rain，hail (冰雹), and snow, which can quickly damage unprotected homes. even better, they give off clean oxygen for us to breathe.trees make economic sense. a home surrounded by trees costs less to cool and heat. neighborhoods with trees are often several degrees cooler in summer than those in similar climates that dont have trees. in winter, trees can keep houses warmer by blocking strong winds. also, less water is needed to water grass and gardens in treeshaded areas where the sun isnt constantly shining.besides that，trees can further improve privacy，block unpleasant views, and increase the value of your home. unfortunately，these days，construction projects tend to wipe out all the trees in an area before creating new neighborhoods and buildings. thats why its more important than ever to plant a tree in your community.check out the national arbor day foundation online at arbord to find out more about planting a tree in your area or how to volunteer in an urban center. you can even donate funds to help the foundation replant trees in new orleans. trees also make great gifts. the arbor day foundation can tell you how to plant a tree in someones name as a gift, donate a tree to honor someone，or memorialize a loved one by planting a tree. make arbor day a true holiday this year. plant a tree!title: plant a tree in your community1._of plantingtreestrees make you 3._and safer.the quality of the
