the bite of an infected animal or through infected saliva entering an existing wound. after experimenting with the saliva of animals suffering from the disease, pasteur concluded that the disease rests in the central nervous system of the body. by studying the tissues of infected animals rabbits, pasteur was able to produce a form of the virus. this could be used for inoculation (接种)on july 6, 1885, pasteur tested his pioneering rabies vaccine on a man for the first time. he saved the life of a young man called joseph meister who had been bitten by a rabid dog. pasteur was urged to treat him with his new method. the treatment lasted 10 days and at the end he recovered and remained healthy. since then thousands have been saved by this treatment.on march 1886, pasteur was invited to present his results to the academy of sciences and in 1888 went on to found the pasteur institute in paris. this was a pioneering clinic for the study of infectious diseases, the treatment of rabies and a centre for teaching. pasteur directed the institute personally until he died. the pasteur institute is still one of the most important centres in the world.pasteur became a national hero and was honored in many ways. he died at saintcloud on september 28, 1895 and was given a state funeral at the cathedral of notre dame.modifications of the pasteur method are still used in rabies treatment today. a newer vaccine which contains virus prepared from human cells grown in the laboratory is safer and requires a shorter course of injections.语篇解读：路易斯巴斯德是一位著名的化学家和生物学家，他最大的成就是发明了狂犬病疫苗。4a person can develop rabies _.aif he is bitten by a rabbitbif he touches infected salivacif infected saliva enters his woundsdif he touches an infected animal解析：选c细节理解题。从文章第二段第二句可知，人类感染狂犬病的途径有两种，一种是被已传染性动物咬伤；另一种是通过传染性唾液进入伤口。对比原文信息可知，c项指的是第二种途径。5what can we learn about pasteurs test of his vaccine on the man?athe man was sent to a clinic ten days

been tested on patients.cinjections of vaccine still take much time.dmuch improvement has been made on rabies vaccine.解析：选d推理判断题。结合文章最后一段可知，改进过的巴斯德方法到今天仍然在使用，新的疫苗比旧的更加先进，因此推断d项正确。cover the past 20 years, scientists studying monarch butterflies have noticed that the number of monarchs has dropped by about 90 percent. but help may soon be on the way for these brightorangeandblack butterflies.recently a petition (请愿) was sent by the center for biological diversity, the center for food safety, and the xerces society to the us. fish and wildlife service, who announced it would take a year to decide whether the butterflies should be considered an endangered or a threatened species. by officially labeling monarchs as endangered, the government can then carry out specific plans to help increase the population of monarch butterflies.monarch butterflies are known for their impressive, almost 3,000mile migration each fall. when the weather starts to get cooler, the butterflies move from summer habitats in canada and the northern us. to warmer winter homes in mexico and california.the drop in numbers of this beloved butterfly is partly because of farming practices in the us. midwest, where monarchs are first born. many farmers there use herbicides, or chemicals that destroy unwanted plants. unfortunately, the herbicides are also destroying the milkweed plant, which monarch caterpillars (幼虫) feed on.in the past 20 years, monarch butterflies have lost about 165 million acres of their habitats an area about the size of texas. thats about a third of their summer breeding grounds (繁殖地). and most of their wintering grounds in mexico and california have suffered from droughts, heat waves, and severe storms, which have been damaging to the creatures. heavy logging (伐木) in these regions has also been destroying monarch habitats.if officials label monarchs endangered, the us. fish and wildlife service will trying their best to ensure that monarchs do not die out.“to protect our nations wildlife, the government should recognize the dangerous situation of monarchs，” says sarina jepsen of the xerces society. “protection as an endangered species will enable monarch habitat recovery on both public and private lands.”语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。为拯救危难之中的北美帝王蝶，一些组织请愿将帝王蝶列为濒危物种，美国相关部门正在对此进行审议。8the purpose of the petition is probably to ask the us. government to _.atake measures to stop monarchs movingbprovide new natural habitats for monarchscadd monarchs to the list of protected speciesdwork out how many monarchs there are解析：选c推理判断题。根据第二段的“it would take a year to decide whether the butterflies should be considered an endangered or a threatened species”以及“by officially labeling monarchs as endangered”可知，由于北美帝王蝶数量的骤减，一些组织向美国政府请愿，请求把帝王蝶纳入到濒危物种名单中，从而使政府制定计划来使帝王蝶的数量回升。9each fall, monarch butterflies _.achange their color from orange to blackbneed a lot of milkweed to feed themselvescdie in large numbers because of the weatherdtravel long distances to look for warmer habitats解析：选d细节理解题。根据第三段的“known for their impressive, almost 3,000mile migration each fall”可知，帝王蝶每年秋天都会从北美洲飞行约3

inventor. “but im just a kid，” you might say! dont worry about a little thing like age. for example, one famous inventor benjamin franklin got his start when he was only 12. at that young age, he created paddles for his hands to help him swim faster. finally his creation led to what we know is called flippers!so you dont have to be an adult to be an inventor. one thing you do need, though, is something that kids have plenty of: curiosity and imagination. kids are known for looking at things in new and unique ways.so what should you do if you have what is a great idea for an invention? talk to a friend or family member about it. get input from others about your idea. then ask them to help you create a working model called a prototype (原型) of your idea.once you have a prototype, you can test it. sometimes your idea turns out to be not as great as you thought. at other times, though, you realize it is a good idea and your prototype can help you figure out how to make it even better.if your idea is really a good one, an adult can help you contact companies that might be interested in it. you will also want an adults help to get a patent (专利权) for your idea, so that it is protected and cant be stolen by someone else. if you need some inspiration, consider these kids and their inventions：jeanie low invented the kiddie stool when she was just 11. its a folding stool that fits under the kitchen sink. kids can unfold it and use it to reach the sink all by themselves.at the age of 15, louis braille invented the system named after him that allows the blind to read.chelsea lanmon received a patent when she was just 8 for the “pocket diaper”， a new type of diaper that includes a pocket for holding baby wipes and powder.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。孩子能成为发明家吗？答案是肯定的。作者列举了franklin， braille， lanmon等人的成功事例。12by saying “but im just a kid”， you probably mean you _.aare too young to achieve anythingbcan do anything though you are youngcare old enough to become an inventordhave to learn knowledge from other people解析：选a推理判断题。“just a kid”意为“只是个孩子”，表明年龄小而做不了什么大事，与a项中的too . to . (太而不能)同义，故a项正确。13which of the following is the right order of an invention?aa patenta prototypea good ideaan inventionban inventiona good ideaa patenta prototypeca good ideaa prototypean inventiona patentda prototypea patenta good ideaan invention解析：选c细节排序题。文章第三段中“so what should you do if you have what is a great idea for an invention？”和“then ask them to help you create a working model called a prototype (原型) of your idea.”表明发明顺序为a good ideaa prototype。再根据第五段的“you will also want an adults help to get a patent (专利权) .”可知，申请专利是发明的最后步骤。故c项正确。14who invented something that helps the blind to read?ajeanie low.bbenjamin franklin.cchelsea lanmon. dlouis braille.解析：选d细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“. louis braille invented the system named after him that allows the blind to read.”可知答案。15which of the following can be the best title for this passage?akids have curiosity and imaginationbthere are some world famous inventorsckids are exactly like adults in a waydit is possible for kids to be inventors解析：选d标题归纳题。综观全文，文章论述的是孩子一样可以成为发明家这一主题。本文所举的例子benjamin franklin (12岁), jeanie low (11岁), louis braille (15岁)及chelsea lanmon (8岁)也都说明了孩子成为发明家的可能性。故选择d项。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。there is an old spanish proverb which states, “tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week.” _36_ too many. but our dreams should not and cannot wait.tomorrow is not promised.nobody likes to talk about death, but the reality is that everybody will die someday. none of us know the day. _37_ dont go to your grave with unfinished dreams. make the decision to go after every dream, big or small, right now.the world is waiting for your gift.the world is waiting for you. _38_ sure, other people may be able to sing,
