we are members of many food chains. we eat wheat, rice, vegetables, fruit and so on. we also eat meat and drink milk. this means the suns energy passes through plant to animal before it reaches us.nature is a great thing. any food chain always produces enough for each of its members if it is left alone. when there isnt enough food for any link in the chain, some of its members die off. so the balance is always kept.but men often break up the food chain and do great harm not only to one plant or animal, but also to all the links in the chain. people make seas and rivers dirty. they destroy whole forests and kill many kinds of wild animals and birds. when a river becomes dirty, the fish cannot be eaten. men eat the fish and get strange diseases. in some places men have no fish to eat any more because the fish have died off. each form of life is linked to all others. breaking the links puts all life in danger.32.how do all food chains break? all food chains are broken if _. a. one kind of animal is eaten up b. one kind of plant is destroyed c. one kind of animal eats another d. one of the links is destroyed33.how is food for plants made? food for plants is made_. a. from water b. from the air in the sky c. form the soil d. from water things in the soil and air sunlight34.which living things can use energy directly? a. animals b. plants c. both animals and plants d. all living things35.why is all life in danger? because _ break up the food chains. a. human beings b. animals c. plants and animals d. man and wild animals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。a major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon. when you recognize your teen is under stress, how can you help your teen stay calm before an exam?be involved. parents need to be involved in their teens work. 36 what they look for is your presenceto talk, to cry, or simply to sit with them quietly. communicate openly with your teen. encourage your teen to express his/her worries and fears, but dont let them focus on those fears.help them get organized. 37 together, you and your teen can work out a time-table in which he/she can study for what he/she knows will be on test.provide a clam setting. help your teen set up a quiet place to study and protect his/her privacy. give them a nutritious diet. its important for your teen to eat a healthy, balanced diet during exam times to focus and do his/her best. 38 if this happens, encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches. a healthy diet, rather than junk food, is best for reducing stress. 39 persuade your teenager to get some sleep and/or do something active when he/she needs a real break from studying. making time for relaxation, fun, and exercise are all important in reducing stress. help your teen balance his/her time so that he/she will feel comfortable taking time out from studying to spend time with friends or rest.show a positive attitude. 40 your panic, anxiety and blame contribute to your teens pressure. make your teen feel accepted and valued for his/her efforts. most importantly, reassure your teen that things will be all right, no matter what the results are.a. a parents attitude will dictate their teens emotions.b. exam stress can make some teens lose their appetite.c. they will only make the situation worse.d. encourage your teen to relax.e. the best thing is simply to listen.f. help your teen think about what he/she has to study and plan accordingly.g. your teen may also make negative comments about themselves.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两小节，满分45分）完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给出的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。as a teacher, i often make it a rule that when we are on a field trip, there will be no talking as we enter a building. this rule 41 to entering any place, whether it is a cinema, a church, a theatre, or any other place.once, in new work city, i took my class to see a(n) 42 near times suqare. when we arrived at the theatre, there were about twenty other classes 43 outside waiting to get in. the students from the other schools were not 44 and there was pandemonium(乌烟瘴气). i told my students to stay in a line and keep 45 .i told them that we would not carry ourselves like those other 46 . soon we started to file into the theatre, and it was very disorganized. there was a lady trying to 47 the groups and get them to their seats, 48 students were everywhere and 49 really knew where to go. my class, observing our rule, walked in 50 in two single-file lines. we stood near the door behind everyone else, and we 51 . all of a sudden, the lady who was 52 noticed us and she walked 53 our direction. she asked the students 54 the teacher was for our group, and i raised my 55 . she asked, “very, very nice to meet you come this way.” we were led into the theatre, 56 , and we were given front-row seats.sometimes 57 for others may not seem like it is going to have an effect, especially when you 58 no one around who is taking manners into 59 . however, that is usually the time when such 60 actions will be most appreciated and recognized.41. a. leads b. applies c. turns d. belongs42. a. play b. lady c. teacher d. exhibition43. a. sorted out b. settled down c. turned away d. lined up44. a. behaving b. listening c. concentrating d. watching45. a. order b. contact c. watch d. time46. a. places b. seats c. classes d. teachers47. a. scold b. dismiss c. attract d. organize48. a. and b. but c.so d.while49. a. anyone b. nobody c. everyone d. somebody50. a. anxiously b. immediately c. quietly d. hurriedly51. a. passed b. chatted c. rushed d. waited52. a. in trouble b. on guard c.in charge d.on business53. a. in b. to c. for d. under54. a. how b. where c. what
