But have you ever thought about how the muscles in an animals body are different from yours? An animals muscles are made to do the things that are most important for its life.Lions are hunters. They depend on their ability to catch other animals. Lions must be fast in order to catch their prey(猎物). The powerful muscles in their back legs allow them to run at speeds of more than 30 miles per hour. They can also jump a distance of more than 35 feet. The strong muscles in their front legs help them catch their prey.Snakes also use their muscles for hunting prey and for movement, but their muscles work in very different ways than lions do. Because snakes do not have any legs, they use their muscles to push against the ground or other objects to move themselves forward. Their muscles also allow them to eat things that seem much too large. For example, a snake may eat an egg that is larger than the width of its body. How does this happen? The snakes strong neck muscles work together to push the egg down the mouth.The elephants long nose has a lot of muscles. Scientists believe that the nose alone has more than 100,000 muscles! This is because the elephant uses its nose much in the same way that people use their hands and fingers. Even though the nose is large, it can perform surprisingly tasks. For example, an elephant can pick up a small leaf from the ground. The nose can also be a powerful tool. An elephant can use its nose to pick up a tree by its roots or even to lift a baby elephant.The great muscles of these animals seem pretty unbelievable. But the muscles in your body work exactly the way you need them to. After all, it might be fun to be able to jump a distance of 30 feet, but as a human being, there is just not much need for it.（1）The underlined word “hunters” in Paragraph 2 means persons or animals that . A . keep animals for funB . raise animals for meatC . catch animals for foodD . run after animals for exercise（2）All the following are talked about in the passage EXCEPT . A . An elephants nose is strong enough to pick up a tree by its roots.B . The strong muscles in the back legs help lions catch their prey.C . Snakes cant move themselves forward without their muscles.D . Muscles in an animals body are different from a humans.（3）According to the passage, what makes the muscles in your body different from an animals? A . The exercise.B . Your parents.C . The environment.D . Your needs.（4）Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage? (P = Paragraph) A . B . C . D . 四、 阅读与回答问题。 (共1题；共10分)18. （10分） In the most southern part of our planet, theres a place thats covered with snow and ice all year round. But it has the clearest and cleanest air. Amazingly, in this place, the sun sometimes hangs even in the midnight sky. This place is Antarctica (南极洲): the coldest, windiest and harshest (恶劣的) place on the Earth.As the worlds least-known place, Antarctica is of great interest to scientists around the world. In 1983, China joined the Antarctic Treaty (南极条约). The treaty made Antarctica a peaceful place for member countries to do scientific research. During 30 years, China has sent many scientists to Antarctica. They mostly look at the resources under the icy land and do research about climate change and marine (海洋的) biology.Antarctica is a place with fantastic views. However, life there is very hard. Food is one of the biggest problems. Frozen (速冻) food which can be heated easily is peoples daily food. Fresh vegetables are hard to grow in the cold weather. Therefore, scientists often eat dried or canned vegetables.Sleep is also troublesome. In Antarctica, summer lasts from November to March. During this period, Antarctica points to the sun and receives sunlight 24 hours a day. In order to get some sleep, scientists cover the windows with black plastic cloth to create “night”.Working in Antarctica is dangerous, especially when meeting gale-force (七级以上的) winds. Sometimes the wind is even stronger than a typhoon. It can easily blow people away. So there are ropes that connect buildings of some research stations. People can hold these ropes to keep their balance in forceful winds.Whats more, communicating with others is difficult. Without cables and Internet in some research stations, two-way radios are the only tools to communicate. If people want to say hello to friends and relatives, they can use satellite phones.Although it is challenging to work in Antarctica, scientists passion to learn about this mysterious land will never end. It is hopeful that one day they will step every corner of this icy land.（1）From Paragraph 1, we learn that the Antarctica _.A . is covered with snow and iceB . rains heavily from time to timeC . has little wind most of the timeD . has sunshine during every night（2）Scientists from China go to Antarctica to _.A . find out ways to control water pollutionB . research climate change and marine biologyC . grow plants and vegetables in special conditionD . stop the hunters from killing the marine biology（3）In order to sleep well in Antarctica, the scientists have to _.A . wear more clothes to keep warmB . cover the windows with black clothC . connect research stations with ropesD . eat more fried and canned vegetables（4）We can replace (替换) the underlined word passion in the last paragraph with .A . strong loveB . full preparationC . pleasant introductionD . amazing imagination（5）The passage is mainly about .A . view of the AntarcticaB . exploring the AntarcticaC . how to survive in the AntarcticaD . climate changes of the Antarctica五、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共10分)19. （10分）任务型阅读阅读下列短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。（每空一词）Many people think dreams are full of messages that may not be clear to us common people. But if we think about what is going on in our lives， we can usually come up with an answer. Lets look at some of the most common dreams. What are the meanings of these dreams?FallingYoure falling， falling， falling and then you wake up. This dream is said to mean you are in fear of something or worried about something. There may be something in your life that is out of control and there is nothing you can do to stop it. Another explanation is that you may experience failure in something. Maybe youre not doing well in school or work.Taking an exam (or forgetting that you have one)You suddenly realize you have to take an exam at that very moment. You might be running here and there to find your classroom. Scientists say this dream may mean youre being tested about something or maybe you are facing a challenge.FlyingDreaming that you are flying means you are on top of things. You are in control of the things that matter to you. It may also mean you have confidence in yourself and think no one and nothing can beat you.Trying to run， but going nowhereYoure trying to run， but either of your legs wont move or you simply arent going anywhere. Some scientists think this dream means youre trying to do too many things at once and cant catch up or move forward.In fact， unlike these dreams， there are also many strange dreams that scientists may not be able to explain.Title： What do dreams _?Descriptions of dreamsAnswers to dreamsFalling*You have something to be _of or worry about.*You may _ in something like schooling or work.Taking an exam(or forgetting that you have one)* Maybe youre taking part in a _ .* You may face something _ .Flying*Youre able to _what matters to you.*You believe in yourself and think that you can beat anyone and _.Trying to run, but going _*Youre trying to do too many things at the same time and it prevents you from _ forward.Conclusion： Scientists can _ some dreams， but not all the dreams.六、 词汇。 (共2题；共10分)20. （1分）At school Simon never_(打架)with his classmates 21. （9分）根据首字母或汉语提示完成句子。（1）Seventy-five and five is e_.（2）You can _ _ (试穿) new clothes in many shops.（3）You can go to the s_ to buy some milk.（4）The coat is seventy yuan.
