One winter, there was a very big flood, and a lot of houses were washed away. Annas house was high enough to escape the flood. So, when the water had disappeared, her house was not damaged. However, Annas house was quite small and there were only two little bedrooms. Her husband died when their four children were very young. But, Anna shared her house with one of the families that had lost everything in the flood until it was possible for them to rebuild their own house.Annas friends were very puzzled (困惑) when they saw Anna do this. They could not understand why Anna wanted to give herself so much more work and trouble when she had so many children to support. Life would be even harder when another family joined them.“Well,” Anna explained to her friends, “30 years ago, a woman in the town was very poor, because her husband had been killed in the war, and she had a lot of children, as I have now.“The day before Christmas, this woman said to her children, We wont have much for Christmas this year, so I am going to get only one gift for all of us and I am sure we will all be glad to have it. Now Ill go and get it. She came back with a little girl who was even poorer than they. And the girl had no parents.

If the smoke alarm（警报）sounds in the night, roll out of bed, crawl（爬行） to the door, and feel the door with the back of your hand.If theres no smoke Crawl out the door, and make your way out the house quickly. Go to your families meeting place outside. Never go back in. Not for toys, not for pets, once out, stay out!What if the door is hot when I feel it?

If youre too small to open the window, or your bedroom is above the main floor making it too high for you to safely escape, then go to your bedroom window, and signal (发信号) firefighters. Never hide.

There high mountains reach more than 3000 meters into the sky. But there is also a low place called Badwater. It is the lowest area of land in the Western Hemisphere (西半球). If there were water there, it would be 86 meters below the level of the ocean.Death Valley can be dangerously cold during the winter months. Storms in the mountains can produce sudden flooding on the floor of the Valley.The air temperature during the summer has been as high as 57 C.The heat of Death Valley has killed people in the past. It will continue to kill those who do not honor this extreme climate (气候). Death Valley does not forgive those who are not careful.However, it would be wrong to think that nothing lives in Death Valley. The Valley is full of life. Wild flowers grow very quickly after a little rain. Some desert plants can send their roots (根) down more than18 meters to reach water deep in the ground. Many kinds of birds live in Death Valley. So do mammals and reptiles (哺乳动物与爬行动物). The area was named by a woman in 1849. Thousands of people from other parts of the country traveled to the gold mining (矿) areas. They were in a hurry to get there before other people did. Many people were not careful. They made bad choices or wrong decisions. One group decided to take a path called the Old Spanish Trail. By December they had reached Death Valley. They first did not have to survive the terrible heat of summer, but there was still an extreme lack (缺乏) of water. There were few plants for their work animals to eat.The people could not find a pass through the tall mountains to the west of the Valley. Slowly, they began to suffer from a lack of food. To survive, they killed their work animals for food and began to walk out of the Valley. As they left, one woman looked back and said, Good-bye, death valley. The name has never been changed.38. Death Valley is known as a dangerous place because of its _.A. extreme climate B. high mountainsC. serious pollutionD. dry deserts 39. Although Death Valley is dangerous, it is a place where _. A. people like to spend their holidaysB. water can easily be foundC. no people have been killedD. lots of animals can survive40. It was proved to be a wrong decision _.A. to look for gold in the valleyB. to take the Old Spanish TrailC. to get there before other people didD. to kill their work animals for food41. In the passage, the writer doesnt tell us _.A. what the weather is like in the valleyB. why people were travelling in a hurryC. how plants in the valley get waterD. that the valley has some other namesD“Starting this autumn with high school math and science, we will be the first state in the USA to provide schools with digital textbooks (电子教科书).” That was Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in June, talking about his effort to get schools to use online materials free. He listed reasons why he thinks digital textbooks make sense.Digital textbooks can offer the latest information. They reduce the weight and size of school bags. They save paper and trees, and make learning more fun and interactive（互动的）. And lastly he said they help schools save money.The state has had to make cuts in school spending because of financial (资金) problems. More than six million students attend California public schools.Earlier this year, California invited developers to offer digital math and science materials for high schools. These had to meet at least90 percent of the states learning needs. Specially trained teachers examined16 textbooks.California cannot require all schools to use the digital textbooks. Schools may decide for themselves.Susan Martimo, an education official, says she does not expect wide-spread use right away. Her best guess is that some schools with a lot of technology will be the first to use them, but only in addition (补充) to their traditional books.Some people are worried because not everyone has a computer or an e-reader. Schools could print out copies, but that would not help the environment. Also, there is the cost to train teachers to use digital textbooks.42. The underlined phrase “make sense” in the first paragraph means _ in Chinese.A. 感觉不错B. 切实可行C. 制造麻烦D. 发展迅速43. The second paragraph mainly tells us the _ of the digital textbooks.A. developmentB. historyC. advantagesD. importance44. We learn from the passage that Susan Martimo _.A. is an experienced teacher in CaliforniaB. is a strong supporter for the digital textbooksC. doesnt know much about the new materialD. doesnt hope the materials will be used widely45. If the digital textbooks are widely spread, _. A. they will be used in addition to the traditional onesB. school teachers will be trained to use themC. each student will have a computer in his homeD. traditional textbooks will be thrown away 第II卷（非选择题 共60分）注意事项： 用黑色签字笔将答案填写在答题卡上。四、词汇（本题共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）A.请根据句意或括号中的中文提示、英文释义，写出句中所缺单词，使句子通顺。（每小题1分，共5分）46.
