Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States.Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place “Tomesha” the land of fire. Death Valleys present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared a National Monument(纪念碑) and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place.Here nature created a lot of surprising, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and variable parts of Death Valley is the Devil s Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures(沙雕) stand on a frightening ground, as evening shadows move and lengthen.36. _ is the lowest place in the desert. A. Tomesha B. Death Valley C. Nevada D. Badwater 37.

Mr. Johnson took the only escape routethrough the boot(行李箱).Mr. Johnsons car had finished up in a ditch(沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldnt force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up.”His hands and arms cut and bruised(擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmers wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.41. What is the best title for this newspaper article? A. The Story of Mr. Johnson, A Sweet Salesman B.

University of Richmond psychology professor Craig Kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans.“Our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy(怀孕) are protecting the brain, including estrogen(雌激素), which we know has many neuroprotective (保护神经的) effects,” Kinsley said.“Its rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals,” he added in a telephone interview. “They go through pregnancy and hormonal changes.”Kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from Alzheimers and other forms of age-related brain decline.“When people think about pregnancy, they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down,” said Kinsley, who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in Orlando, Florida.“They do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain. If you look at female animals who have never gone through pregnancy, they act differently toward young. But if she goes through pregnancy, she will sacrifice her life for her infantthat is a great change in her behavior that showed in genetic alterations(改变) to the brain.”46. How do scientists know “Motherhood may make women smarter”? A. Some researchers have told them. B. Many women say so. C. They know it by experimenting on rats. D. They know it through their own experience.47. What does the phrase “litters of pups” mean in the second paragraph? A. Baby rats. B. Animals. C. Old rats. D. Grown-up rats.48. What can protect the brain of a woman according to the passage? A. Estrogen. B. The hormones of pregnancy. C. More exercise. D. Taking care of children.49. “Its rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals.” What does the sentence suggest? A. The experiments on the rats have nothing to do with humans. B. The experiments on the rats are very important for animals. C. The experiments on the rats are much the same on humans. D. The experiments on the rats are much the same on other animals.50. Which title is the best for this passage? A. Do You Want to Be Smarter? B. Motherhood Makes Women Smarter C. Mysterious Hormones D. An Important StudyD Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening. One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of ones own. Then, in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend ones free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has the reward of one who has shared the secret of Nature. Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnights (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.51. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. People who like country things prefer to live outside the city. B. People who work in London prefer to live in the country. C. Because of certain disadvantages of living outside London, some people who work in London prefer to live inside London. D. Because of certain advantages of living outside London, many people who work in London prefer to live outside London.52. One can use the same money for _ to buy a little house with a garden in the country. A. getting a small flat with a garden B. having a small flat with a garden C. renting a small flat without a garden D. buying a small flat without a garden53. When the flowers and vegetables in the garden come up, those _ have the reward of one who has shared the secret of Nature. A. who live in the country B. who have spent time working in the garden C. who have a garden of their own D. who have been digging, planting and watering 54. People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that _ if they had to live it outside London. A. their life was meaningless B. their life was invaluable C. they didnt deserve a happy life D. they were not worthy of their happy life55. The underlined word rest in the last paragraph refers to _. A. the rest time B. the rest people C. the rest of the country D. the rest of the parks and of the sea 2010年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（天津卷）英语笔试第卷第三部分：写作第一节：阅读表达（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。Comic book superhero Spider Man uses tiny hairs on his fingertips to climb up walls. But he could have had another secret weapon to help him stick.Scientists have now found that some spiders can also make silk in their feet, which may sometimes help them get a firmer grip on a surface.Spiders are good at gripping walls with their legs. Thousands of little hairs on their feet make it possible. To test whether spiders also make these hairs wet to improve grip, scientists watched zebra tarantulas crawl up glass slides.When they tilted (使倾斜) a glass slide until it was almost vertical, the spider slipped a few millimeters before attaching itself again. The scientists
