a. the two ideas are fundamental. b. the two ideas are basically different. c. the two ideas about “school” and “wall” are suitable. d. the two ideas about “school” and “wall” are conflicting.29. what did the authors friend feel about the walls around universities? a. he thought it a good idea to have walls encircling schools. b. he was shocked that american universities are not enclosed. c. he thought they were necessary to protect students from being hurt. d. he thought the difference between two countries is only architectural styles.30. we can infer from the passage that the author thinks _. a. walls are really useful in the universities b. he can never really understand the chinese culture c. chinese universities should work as public scenic spots d. walls around the universities are inappropriate in an open china ba black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light cannot get out. the gravity is so strong because matter has been squeezed into a tiny space. this can happen when a star is dying.because no light can get out, people cant see black holes. space telescopes with special tools can help find black holes. the special tools can see how stars that are very close to black holes act differently from other ones. black holes can be big or small. scientists think the smallest black holes are as small as just one atom. these black holes are very tiny but have the mass of a large mountain. mass is the amount of matter, or “staff”, in an object.another kind of black hole is called “stellar”(星球黑洞). its mass can be up to 20 times more than the mass of the sun. there may be many stellar mass black holes in earths galaxy. earths galaxy is called the milky way.the largest black holes are called “supermassive”(超大质量黑洞). these black holes have masses that are more than one million suns together. scientists have found proof that every large galaxy contains a supermassive black hole at its center. the supermassive black hole at the center of the milky way galaxy has a mass equal to about four million suns and would fit inside a very large ball that could hold a few million earths.scientists think the smallest black holes formed when the universe began. stellar black holes are made when the center of a very big star falls in upon itself, or falls apart. when this happens, it exploded part of the star into space. scientists think supermassive black holes were made at the same time as the galaxy they are in.a black hole can not be seen because strong gravity pulls all of the light into the middle of the black hole. but scientists can see how the strong gravity affects the stars and gas around the black hole. scientists can study stars to find out if they are flying around, or orbiting a black hole.when a black hole and a star are close together, high-energy light is made. this kind of light cannot be seen with human eyes. scientists use satellites and telescopes in space to see the high-energy light.31. the gravity of a black hole may become so strong that light cannot get out when _.a. the star is going to die b. special tools are used on itc. other stars come close to it d. it is seen from the space telescopes32. according to the passage, which of the following is not true?a. a black hole can be very tiny but extremely heavy.b. the gravity of a black hole holds all light in its center.c. scientists observe high-energy light through their own eyes.d. some small black holes came into being as early as the universe.33. the underlined word “galaxy” in paragraph 5 means _.a. a black hole b. the milky wayc. a series of stars d. a planet near the earth34. what does the last sentence in paragraph 5 suggest? a. neither the sun nor the earth is as heavy as a black hole. b. there is a supermassive black hole at the center of the milky way. c. the supermassive black hole had existed before the milky way was formed. d. there is a reason why the large black holes are called “supermassive”.35. the last two paragraph mainly focus on the question of _. a. what a black hole is b. how black holes form c. how big black holes are d. how scientists know about black holes cthe computer keyboard helped kill shorthanda system of rapid handwriting, and now its threatening to finish off handwriting as a whole. when handwritten essays were introduced on the sat exams for the class of 2012, just 15% of the most1.5 million students wrote their answers in cursive(草写字母). the rest? block letters.and those college hopefuls are just the first edge of a wave of us students who no longer get much handwriting instructions in the primary grades, frequently 10 minutes a day or less. as a result, more and more students struggle to read and write cursive.at keene mill elementary school in springfield, all their poems and stories are typed. children in fairfax county schools are taught keyboarding beginning in kindergarten. older students who never mastered handwriting say it doesnt affect their grades.there are those who say the culture is at a crossing, turning from the written word to the typed one. if handwriting becomes a lost form of communication, does it matter?it was at university virginia that researchers recently discovered a previously unknown poem by robert, written in his unique script. handwritten documents are more valuable to researchers, historians say, because their authenticity(真实性) can be confirmed. students also find them more fascinating.the loss of handwriting also may be a cognitive(认知的) opportunity missed. several academic studies have found that good handwriting skills at a young age can help children express their thoughts bettera lifelong benefit.it doesnt take much to teach better handwriting skills. at some schools in prince georges county, elementary school students use a program called handwriting without tears for 15 minutes a day. they learn the correct formation of manuscript letters through second grade, and cursive letters in third grade.there are always going to be some kids who struggle with handwriting because of their particular neurological(神经系统的) writing, learning issues or poor motor skills. educators often point to this factor in support of keyboarding.36. what is the author concerned about after 2012 sat exams? a. keyboarding. b. shorthand. c. handwriting. d. block letters.37. a poem by robert mentioned in the passage is used to _. a. prove how valuable handwriting is b. explain what a famous poet he isc. show how unique his poem is d. stress how fascinating the documents are38. the example of handwriting without tears helps to argue that _. a. the schools are responsible for the loss of handwriting b. the loss of handwriting is a cognitive opportunity missed c. it doesnt take much to teach better handwriting skills d. the culture is turning from the written word to the typed one39. according to the author, when is a perfect time to learn handwriting? a. kindergarten. b. primary school. c. high school. d. college.40. what is the authors attitude towards this debate? a. devotion. b. encouragement. c. critical. d. objective. dmost young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. it may be walking, cycling, swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. it may be a game of some formsfootball, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. it may be mountaineering.those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? this astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure. mountaineering is a sport and not a game. there are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. there are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods. if we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. we should be mistaken in this. there are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.the mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. he has to fight the forces of nature. his sport requires high mental and physical qualities.a mountain climber continues to improve in skills year by year. a skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. but it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the alps. they may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.41. what sports are popular among people in winter in the passage?a. soccer and golf. b. skiing and skating. c. cycling and hockey. d. mountaineering.42. the underlined word “passion” in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by _.a. strong emotion b. good way c. better feeling d. enough affection43. mountaineering is a sport, not a game because_.a. it has man-made rules b. it is too dangerous for climbersc. it cant bring people joy or leisure d. it is free for climbers to use their own methods44. we know from the passage that _. a. mountaineering has no appeal for people b. physical quality is more important than mental one for climbersc. a mountain climber passes his best by the age of thirtyd. it is possible for an old man of fifty or sixty to climb the alps45. what is the best title for the passage?a. sports in winter b. team work in climbingc. mountaineering d. the quality for mountaineering 第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。把答案填涂在答题卡上相应的题号的答案标号上，如答案是e把ab同时一起涂黑，如答案是f把 cd同时一起涂黑。首先请阅读下列六种家用电器的介绍：a. morphy richards coffee makerit has a programmable timer, so you can wake up to the smell coffee. the easy-clean filter(过滤器) and anti-drip device make it simple to maintain(保养).b. philips juicersit gives you all the juice thanks to its patented micro-mesh filter and powerful 700w motor. the extra-large feeding tube easily takes whole fruits and vegetable
