TEST (A1)一、完形填空（每小题3分）Learning experiences happen to us in our lives. Not long ago, I had one that l would like to share.I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway 33 we realized we were hungry. Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand-new $ 20 bill. I was so 34 because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on food seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line. 35 I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I 36 I had not handed any money to the cashier（收银员）. I had just walked out, and 37 had noticed. I felt terrible.My conscience opened its mouth and swallowed me in one big bite. I couldnt 38 over it. I just couldnt go back to the cashier and pay for my stolen pizza. I was so upset（不安的） that I 39 to give myself the pleasure of an ice cream for 40 that someone would say, “Hey, Jeff. Why dont you use the change from the pizza instead of that nice, new $ 20 bill?” I was not so 41 of my cash now.For the next two years, whenever the “pizza thing” came into my mind, I would say to myself, “Dont think about it.”I have learned two things from this 42 . Maybe I was a fool giving in to my conscience, and being too stupid to have a free pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience will 43 you.This goes with the saying, “A coward（懦夫） dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies one.” I was a coward and have felt terrible 44 that at least a thousand times. If I had been a “hero” and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.33AbeforeBwhileCafterDwhen34AexcitedBsatisfiedCinterestedDrelaxed35AImmediatelyBLuckilyCFinallyDEasily36AnoticedBthoughtCknewDrealized37AnobodyBsomebodyCa teammateDthe cashier38AlookBgetCturnDthink39AwantedBhopedCrefusedDmeant40AhopeBsurpriseCangerDfear41AsureBpleasedCproudDupset42AexperienceBstoryCthingDmistake43Aget toBcatch up withCgo away fromDfall behind44AofBforCwithDat二、阅读理解（每题2分）A.More Than a Zoo Popcorn Park is not like most zoos.

Those animals that cannot live on their own stay at Popcorn Park Zoo.At first this unusual place was not a zoo. It was called the Forked River Animal Care Center. The workers there took care of lost or unwanted cats and dogs.The change to the center began in 1977 when a raccoon needed help. The workers cared for the animal. Finally it was better, but it could not care for itself. The raccoon was allowed to live at the center. Once people heard about the wonderful work being done at the center, they began taking all kinds of hurt or homeless animals there. Soon the center was no longer just a home for cats and dogs. So many animals were living at the center that it became more like a zoo. It was time for a new name.Name_ Marks_Popcorn Park Zoo got its funny name because many of the animals there like to eat popcorn（爆米花）made without oil or salt. Also the popcorn is sold at the zoo to help make money to care for the animals.

Traffic jams have become less since the new rule was started on July, 1The jam caused by accidents dropped nearly 60 percent from last year.One of the citys biggest headaches, traffic overcrowding is talked about daily. The local government has done many things trying to solve the problem, including building new roads and crossovers, sending out more policemen and employing assistants to keep the order on the road. But these actions did not result in success.The new rule for minor traffic accident settlement allows car owners to reach an agreement about the responsibility and payment in these accidents, instead of waiting for the police to support their agreements. The agreements are acceptable by the insurance companies.Compared with constructing new roads, this new rule is only a change in traffic accident settlement procedures that does not cost taxpayers any money, but it has greatly lessened traffic jams.This change actually allows all car owners to have the right to deal with the accident as long as there is no serious harm, damage or losses. In this way, the public has now become an active part in traffic management. The management becomes much better and the traffic is improved.This is an enlightening example. The improvement of traffic depends not only on building new roads, but also on the method, system and detailed deals in the traffic management.52What does the underlined word “headaches” probably mean?ANew roads.BTraffic lights.CAccidents.DProblems.53What is the main idea of the last paragraph？AThe traffic in Beijing is improving quickly.BAn example is given for better agreement.CBuilding new roads depends on road system.DManagement is important in improving traffic.54What can we infer（推断）according to the article?ACar owners can find the answer to traffic problems.BYou must call the police when the accident happens.CIt took a long time to work out a small traffic accident.DThe new rule for the quick settlement is difficult to follow.55Which of the following might be the best title of the article?ATraffic Accidents in BeijingBNew Rules Have WorkedCPublic Rules Prevent AccidentsDNew Roads Improved Traffic三、阅读还原句子（每题2分）Victors hobby was collecting stamps.

Some people even go to the rain forests to spend some of their time trying to make friends with the plants and animals there. The scientists are actually hard at work studying the plants that grow in the very top level of a rain forest. Rain forests are one of the richest environments on Earth. They are home to millions of species of plants and animals. The red research raft provides scientists with a platform from which to study life in the treetops. Scientists can even sleep on the raft, so they can stay up in the treetops for days at a time.Rain forests cover only about 6 percent of Earths land surface. However, they contain more than half of the plant species on Earth. Many of these plants provide useful medicines to use against human diseases. In fact， about 25 percent of prescription medicines in the United States are based on chemicals from rain forest plants. Scientists think that many new medicines might be developed from plants that are yet to be discovered.Unluckily, rain forests are disappearing. Rain forest trees are being cut down for wood. Huge chunks of the forests are cleared to provide land for farm animals and crops. Scientists havent identified all the plants in these forests yet. Some scientists think thousands of kinds of plants that well never even know about are being destroyed each year.17Is it difficult for scientists to study the rain forest plants?_18Where probably is the red research raft?_19How much of Earths land surface do rain forests cover?_20What do many of the rain forest plants mainly provide?_21Do you think that scientists will be able to know all about the rain forest plants?
