a. merican films. b. family stories. c. food. d. banking.b its very early in the morning and im sitting outside. its also very cold and dark. with me is jim nightingale, and he is the reason im up so early. he passes me a hot cup of coffee. not long to wait now, he says. i hope hes right. after a few minutes there is a very weak light in the east, and then i hear a bird singing. it sings very loud and very clear. thats the robin(知更鸟), says jim. a few more birds start singing with the robin and jim knows the names of them too. half an hour later, there are more and more birds singing, and its very loud! suddenly, all around us the air is full of the sound of birdsong. this is the dawn chorus(晨鸣), and its beautiful. wow, this is amazing! i tell jim, who is smiling. is there a dawn chorus every morning? birds can sing any time of the year but the best time is the end of winter and during the spring. this is when the birds sing most. really? so, why do they sing? i ask. well, there are two reasons, explains jim. most of the songbirds who sing are males. they want to find a female(雌性)so they sing to show how strong they are. the females listen and choose the best singer! the birds also sing to tell other males to go away. they need their own area; they dont like sharing with another male. i listen to the birds; the songs seem too much to me. do the birds sing a special song in themorning?thats a good question, replied jim. the successful birds have many kinds of calls and songs. sometimes they copy the songs of other birds. this makes it sound like there are many birds in that place already and other males stay away. also the female likes songs with different notes. some birds, for example the european wren, have songs that contain over 700 different notes per minute! so, how does jim know so much about birds? well, he works as a volunteer for the royal society for the protection of birds. he is trying to help the birds live in the modern world. more and more of the birds habitat disappears every year. the sparrow, for example, was a very common bird in the uk, now its in danger. by now the sun is up and the birds are quiet. its light so they can start looking for food, they need a big breakfast after all that singing.49. why does the writer get up early in the morning?a. to visit her friend. b. to drink hot coffee. c. to see different birds. d. to hear birds sing.50. a bird sings early in the morning mainly_. a. to call a females attention b. to fight with other males c. to find a place to live in d. to start looking for food51. according to the text, which of the following statements is true? a. at first the writer is happy to be up so early in the morning. b. male birds have their own ways of .fooling other birds. c. its easier for the birds to find food early in the morning. d. jim has a job with the royal society for the proteciton of birds.52. the text is mainly about_.a. the robins songs b. the birds habitat c. why birds sing d. how to protect birdsc taking away a citys rubbish is a big job. every day trucks come into a city to collect it. most rubbish is made up of things we cant eat or use. if we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish. in some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of city to a dump. often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. the kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. the sewage system takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs and other places. to keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then youd never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump. in other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. the fire burns everything but the metal. sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal. the food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus, which looks like black earth. it is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help them grow.53. you can most probably read the passage in_. a. a science book b. a tv guide c. a history book d. a telephone book54. the main idea of the passage is_. a. to let us know taking away rubbish is a big job b. to explain the need for rubbish collection c. to introduce different ways to treat rubbish d. to tell people to take useful things out of rubbish55. the underlined word sewage in the passage means_.56. how should we take care of a used metal box according to the passage? a. by burning it off. b. by putting it in water. c. by throwing it away. d. by reusing and recycling it.d my summer hols wr cwot. b4, we used 2go 2 ny 2c my bro, his gf & thr 3 :- kids ftf. ilny its gr8. can you understand this sentence? if you cant, dont feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in england who received this as homework. this is netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on internet or cellphones. to newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language. so, what is the translation of the sentence above? my summer holidays were a complete waste of time. before, we used to go to new york to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face. i love new york; it s great. schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming(破坏)the english language. increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes can be seen in students writing. they fear the language could become corrupted(面目全非的). everyone should just relax, say linguists(语言学家)they believe netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. david crystal, from the university of wales, argues that netspeak and internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. geoffrey nunberg, from stanford university, agrees. people get better at writing by writing, he says. kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents. linguist james milroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. and you can bet your bottom dollar that when todays teenagers become tomorrows parents, they too will think this way. milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become corrupted; they simply change to meet the new needs. however, netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write standard english. cynthia mcvey says, i can understand netspeak worries teachers and its important that they get across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper english is a must for their future. perhaps, we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. erin, age 12, says, i wouldnt use text language in my homework. text is just for fun.57. what is the main purpose of the first paragraph?a. to give an example of foreign paragraph. b. to show an example of creative method.c. to express worries about using netspeak. d. to lead in the topic of netspeak.58. which of the following is true according to the passage? a. cynthia mcvry points out teenagers can deal with netspeak properly. b. geoffrey nunberg believes netspeakers can write standard english. c. david crystal thinks netspeak helps develop the habit of writing. d. james milroy says that language is changing and improving.59. the expression bet your bottom dollar in paragrap5 means_. a. be fairly sure b. be greatly surprised c. think it a pity d. find it interesting60. what can be the best title for the passage? a. netspeak: a widely-used language on internet b. is netspeak harming the english language? c. is netspeak helpful in language learning? d. netspeak: advantages and disadvantages五、词汇检测（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 根据下列句子及所给汉语注释或通过上下文， 在答题卡上标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。每空只写一词。61. many rare wild animals have （消失）because we didnt protect them.62. the results of the exams will be （宣布）in the afternoon.63. she likes the children very much and she is very （耐心的）with them.64. can you give me some （建议）?i believe they will be very useful.65. he seldom （回复）to the e-mails his friends send him.66. making a lot of noise and (打扰)others are impolite.67. walking （有规律地）is a good form of exercise for both young and old.68. - look! here comes out school bus. - no hurry. dont get on it it has stopped.69. - how clean the bedroom is! - yes, i am sure that someone it.70. - thank you for your help. without your help, i couldnt work out the problem last night. - its my 六、短文填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 请认真阅读下面的短文，在答题卡上标有题号的横线上，根据首字母提示，写出空缺处该词的正确形式。每空只写一词 these years, with the development of society(社会),more and more teenagers have suffered from stress. some of the problems can make them feel very (71)w and unhappy all day. who can help them?
