According to the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association, Canada supplies 34% of the worlds wood pulp and 49% of its newsprint paper. If these paper products could be produced in some other way, Canadian forests could be preserved. Recently, a possible alternative way of producing paper has been suggested by agriculturalists and environmentalists: a plant called hemp. Hemp has been cultivated by many cultures for . It produces fibre which can be made into paper, fuel, oils, textiles, food, and rope. For centuries, it was essential to the economies of many countries because it was used to make the ropes and cables used on sailing ships; colonial expansion and the establishment of a world-wide trading network would not have been feasible without hemp. Nowadays, ships cables are usually made from wire or synthetic fibres, but scientists are now suggesting that the cultivation of hemp should be revived for the production of . According to its proponents, four times as much paper can be produced from land using hemp rather than trees, and many environmentalists believe that the large-scale cultivation of hemp could reduce the pressure on Canadas forests. However, there is a problem: hemp is illegal in many countries of the world. This plant, so useful for fibre, rope, oil, fuel and textiles, is a species of cannabis, related to the plant from which marijuana is produced. In the late 1930s, a movement to ban the drug marijuana began to gather force, resulting in the eventual banning of the cultivation not only of the plant used to produce the drug, but also of the commercial fibre-producing hemp plant. In fact, marijuana cannot be produced from the hemp plant, since it contains almost no THC (the active ingredient in the drug).In recent years, a movement for legalization have been gathering strength. It is concerned only with the hemp plant used to produce fibre; this group wants to make it legal to cultivate the plant and sell the fibre for production. 21.Why is pulp and paper production important to Canada?A) Canada needs to find a way to use all its spare wood.B) Canada publishes a lot of newspapers and books.C) Pulp and paper export is a major source of income for Canada.D) Hemp is a traditional plant of Canada.22.Why was the plant hemp essential to world-wide trade in the past?A) Ships ropes were made from it.B) Hemp was a very profitable export.C) Hemp was used as fuel for ships.D) Hemp was used as food for sailors.23.Why do agriculturalists think that hemp would be better for paper production than trees?A) It is cheaper to grow hemp than to cut down trees.B) More paper can be produced from the same area of land.C) Hemp produces higher quality paper.D) It causes less pollution of the environment.24.Why was hemp banned?A) It is related to the marijuana plant.B) It can be used to produce marijuana.C) It was no longer a useful crop.D) It was destructive to the land.25.“According to its proponents, four times as much paper can be produced from land using hemp rather than trees.” What does “proponents” mean?A) People who are against something.B) People who support something.C) People in charge of something.D) People who do research on something.内容概要:加拿大是世界上生产纸浆和纸制品的大国。为了保护森林资源，环境学家们提出可以种植麻，用麻纤维造纸。过去人们种植麻用以制造绳索、燃料、油类等，同样面积的土地上种出来的麻造成的纸是树制成纸的四倍。然而在许多国家种植麻是违法的，尽管麻植物并不能制成毒品大麻。人们正在努力使麻种植合法化。21.【答案】C。【译文】因为纸浆和纸制品是加拿大主要的出口收入来源，所以对加拿大来说非常重要。【试题分析】细节推理题。【详细解答】原文第一段第二句“According to the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association, Canada supplies 34% of the worlds wood pulp and 49% of its newsprint paper”，根据加拿大纸浆和纸制品协会的数据，加拿大提供全世界34%的木浆和49%的新闻纸，由此得知加拿大的纸浆和纸制品出口量大，是加拿大重要的收入来源，所以C）为正确答案。答案A）加拿大要想法用掉多余的木材与人们希望保护森林资源的目的正好相反，答案B）加拿大出版许多报纸和书籍在原文中并未提及，答案D）麻是加拿大的传统植物与问题无关。22.【答案】A。【译文】过去麻在世界贸易中至关重要是因为船用绳索就是麻制成的。【试题分析】细节考察题。【详细解答】原文第二段第三句话“For centuries, it was essential to the economies of many countries because it was used to make the ropes and cables used on sailing ships”，几个世纪以来，它对许多国家的经济来说举足轻重是因为它可以用来制造缆绳，所以答案是A）。答案B）麻是利润丰厚的出口产品、C）麻可以制成船用燃料、D）麻可以作水手的食物等在原文中未提及。23.【答案】B。【译文】农业学家认为麻造纸比用树木好是因为在同样面积土地上，种植麻造纸比种树造纸产量高。【试题分析】细节考察题。【详细解答】原文第二段最后一句话“four times as much paper can be produced from land using hemp rather than trees, and many environmentalists believe that the large-scale cultivation of hemp could reduce the pressure on Canadas forests”意思是，环境学家据此认为大规模种植麻将缓解加拿大森林砍伐的压力，由此可见麻造纸的优势在于产纸量大，从而减少树木的砍伐量，保护环境。答案A）种麻比砍树便宜、答案C）麻造的纸质量更好、答案D）麻较少污染环境均与原文不符。24.【答案】A。【译文】禁止种植麻是因为麻跟制成大麻毒品的植物种类相近。【试题分析】细节考察题。【详细解答】原文第三段第二句话“This plant, so useful for fibre, rope, oil, fuel and textiles, is a species of cannabis, related to the plant from which marijuana is produced”说这种植物非常有用，可以制成纤维，绳索，油类，燃料和织物，但它是大麻属的一种植物，与制成大麻毒品的植物种类相近，所以答案A）是正确答案。原文中还说麻并不能制造大麻毒品，因此答案B）麻可以制成大麻毒品明显是错误的，C）麻不再有用也与原文不符，D）麻对土地具破坏性在原文中并未提到，相反种麻可以减少树木砍伐量，从而保护环境。25.【答案】B。【译文】“proponent”的意思是支持者。【试题分析】词义推测题，根据上下文猜测词义。【详细解答】上一句说环境学家们提议用麻代替树木造纸，下一句说根据“proponents”的看法，用麻造纸有很大的好处，所以“proponents”肯定是支持这一建议的人。Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:I made a pledge to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical（圣经的）passage about husbands their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.”“Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled.After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyns been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, thats how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression. “Whats the matter?” I asked her.“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “ I dont?”“What do you mean?”“Wellthat checkup（体检） I had several weeks agoour doctordid he tell you something about me? Tom, youve been so good to meam I dying?”It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing.“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “Youre not dying; Im just starting to live.”26.In the first paragraph, “No ifs, ands or buts” probably means “_.”A) Unintentionally B) InevitablyC) Impressively D) Unconditionally27.From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage _.A) with his family B) with EvelynC) alone D) with his children28.During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because _.A) she looked lovely in her new clothesB) he had made a lot of money in his Wall Street firmC) he was determined to be a good husbandD) she was seriously ill29.The author says, “There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment.” What was the one thing that went wrong?A) He praised her sweater, which puzzled her.B) She insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated.C) He knew something about her illness but didnt tell her.D) He was so good to her that she thought she must be dying.30.By saying “Im just starting to live,” Tom means that _.A) he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of lifeB) he is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husbandC) he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to changeD) he is beginning to feel regret for what he did to his wife before内容概要:本文讲述的是一个家庭的温馨故事。丈夫在去海边度假小屋与妻儿团聚的路上听了一个关于应该珍爱妻子的广播节目，于是暗下决心在这度假的两周里就有所改变，好好爱妻子。到了度假小屋，他果然表现出色，称赞妻子的衣服，陪妻子散步。最后，他的妻子欣喜之余竟然怀疑自己是不是得了绝症，丈夫才突然这么体贴，而丈夫也决心以后就做一个充满爱心的好丈夫。26.【答案】D。【译文】“No ifs, ands or buts”意思是没有假如、并且和但是，即无条件地。【试题分析】词语辨析题。【详细解答】“if”, “and” ,“but”都是表示条件的连词，如果没有“if”, “and” ,“but”，那么就是无条件地，所以应该选答案D）。27.【答案】C。【译文】从文中可以推断出Tom是一个人开车去度假小屋的。【试题分析】判断推理题。【详细解答】本文开头描述Tom 开车去度假小屋，第五段讲到“After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyns been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” 他开车到了以后很累，想坐下读读书，而妻子建议一起去海滩散步。这时他想：妻子一周以来都一个人在这儿陪着孩子，现在只是想单独和丈夫待会儿。由此可见，他的妻子孩子早在他之前已经先到了海边，他是后开车过来的。28.【答案】C。【译文】在海边度假的两周里，Tom对妻子更体贴是因为他决心做一个好丈夫。【试题分析】细节考察题。【详细解答】文中开头“I made a pledge to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father”，Tom向自己保证在度假的两周里要做一个好丈夫、好父亲，所以他对妻子非常体贴，答案C）是正确的。答案A）因为妻子穿了新衣服更漂亮， B）因为他在华尔街的公司挣了大钱，D）因为他妻子得了重病都与原文不符。29.【答案】D。【译文】作者说他的新尝试出了一点问题，这个问题就是他对妻子这么好，让妻子以为自己得了重病，他才这么体贴的。【试题分析】细节考察题。【详细解答】原文中提到“On the last night at our cottage”, 妻子问他：“Tom, youve been so good to me.am I dying?” 联系到上次在医院的体检，妻子不由得怀疑是不是自己快要死了丈夫才突然变得如此体贴，这就是答案D）所指出的。答案A）他称赞妻子的毛衣，让妻子很困惑，这与原文不符，实际上妻子困惑之余更多的是欣喜；答案B）妻子坚持去他不喜欢去的博物馆不成为问题，因为他愿意陪妻子去；答案C）他没告诉妻子她得了重病与原文不符，因为他妻子并未得重病。30.【答案】B。【译文】Tom说：“我正重新开始生活”，他的意思是开始享受做好丈夫的新生活。【试题分析】判断推理题。【详细解答】重新开始生活意味着改变，对Tom来说，他自认从前是个自私的丈夫，现在的改变就是做一个充满爱心的好丈夫，所以答案B）是正确的。答案A）他开始理解生活的真正意义，这太笼统，与Tom的具体情况不符；答案C）他以前生活不幸福，现在开始改变，原文并未说Tom 从前就不幸福；答案D）他开始为以前对妻子的所作所为感到遗憾，重新开始生活并不就是遗憾，而是改变。Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:In science, a theory is a reasonable explanation of observed events that are related. A theory often involves an imaginary model that helps scientists envision the way an observed event could be produced. A good example of this is found in the kinetic molecular theory （分子运动论）, in which gases are pictured as being made up of many small particles that are in constant motion.A useful theory, in addition to explaining past observations, helps to predict events that have not as yet been observed. After a theory has been publicized, scientists design experiments to test the theory. If the scientists predictions, the theory is supported. If observations do not confirm the predictions, the scientists must search further. There may be a fault in the experiment, or the theory may have to be revised or rejected.Science involves imagination and creative thinking as well as collecting information and performing experiments. Facts by themselves are not science. As the mathematician Jules Henry Poincare said:“ Science is built with facts just as a house is built with bricks, but a collection of facts cannot be called science any more than a pile of bricks can be called a house.” Most scientists start an investigation by finding out what other scientists have learned about a particular problem. After known facts have been gathered, the scientist comes to the part of the investigation that requires considerable imagination. Possible solutions to the problem are formulated. These possible solutions are called hypotheses. In a way, any hypothesis is a leap into the unknown. It extends the scientists thinking beyond the known facts. The scientist plans experiments, performs calculations, and makes observations to test hypotheses. For without hypotheses, further investigation lacks purpose and direction. When confirmed, they are incorporated into theories.31.What is NOT true about a theory?A) A useful theory can explain past observations.B) A useful theory helps to make predictions.C) A theory is the truth that does not need to be tested.D) A theory may have to be revised or rejected sometimes.32.Science involves _.A) imagination and creative thinkingB) collecting informationC) performing experimentsD) all of the above33.The key point of the quotation from Jules Henry Pincare is that _.A） facts are the most important thingsB） building a house is like performing experimentsC） science is more than a collection of factsD） a pile of bricks can not be called a house34.In Paragraph 4, the author implies that imagination is most important to scientists when they _.A） evaluate previous work on a problemB） formulate possible solutions to a problemC） gather known factsD） close an investigation35.In Paragraph 5, the author refers to a hypothesis as “a leap into the unknown” in order to show that hypotheses _.A） go beyond available factsB） are sometimes ill-conceivedC） can lead to dangerous resultsD） require efforts to formulate内容概要: 本文阐述了科学理论的定义、特征和科学家是如何提出科学理论的。科学理论是对相关观察对象的合理解释，此外它还能预测未来。所有的理论都需要验证。科学家要提出新理论，首先要了解其他科学家对某一问题已经获得的成果，然后提出假设，假设需要想象力和创造力，是向未知世界的飞跃。最后，科学家必须验证假设，使其成为理论。31.【答案】C。【译文】下列关于理论的说法不对的是：理论是真理，不需要检验。【试题分析】综合判断题。【详细解答】文中第二段第二句话：“After a theory has been publicized, scientists design experiments to test the theory”，一个理论公开提出后，科学家设计实验来验证理论，由此可见，C）是错误的说法。A）有用的理论可以解释过去的观察结果，B）有用的理论可以作预测，D）理论有时侯需要修改或可能被舍弃，这几种说法都可以在原文中找到，都是关于理论正确的阐述，所以
