Star Trek is about a spacecraft（宇宙飞船）which travels faster than the speed of light. The show is developed from three ideas about the 22nd century. First, well find other life forms great tools which will make amazing things possible.Lets think about these predictions. If we find life forms on other planets, will they be intelligent? I hope so. But we human beings might not be friendly I dont think well believe in the idea of peace one hundred years from now. But this is science fiction, so we can be optimistic! And Star Treks idea of life in the future is communicators. And we will be ablt to have conversatins with people who are on because youll have an electronic notebook. And if you get ill, the doctor wont have to examine you a machine will read your body. The strangest manchine includes a teleport which will take people to a different placein a second!The ideas are interesting, and in my opinion theres only one problem with star trek: the acting.

It is an important lake because it is one of the sources(源头) for the longest river in the world, the Nile River. Lake Victoria provides a source of water, food, and power(电力) for several African countries. Lake Victoria is a big part of African life.Unfortunately, Lake Victoria has a problem. It is shrinking. There are several power stations at Lake Victoria in Uganda. These are on the Nile River, and besides producing power, they keep the water of the lake at a certain level. For the past forty years, that level has been 11.9 meters. Over the last several years, the water level has dropped by about 2.5 meters. There seem to be several reasons for this drop.One possible reason is drought(干旱). Drought has been very bad in the area since 2000. Lake Victoria gets all of its water from rain, so the drought means less water in the lake.However, some environmentalists believe that the real problem is the power plants(工厂) on Lake Victoria. Uganda depends on those power plants for most of its power, and they made the power plants larger in 2000. Many people believe the power plants have been taking too much water off Lake Victoria. As a result, they have been asked to use less water until Lake Victoria goes back to its old level.Whether the low water level is caused by drought or power plants, the result is the same. This is already a poor area of Africa, where many people live a really hard life. People, animals and plants around Lake Victoria will suffer even more from low water levels on the lake. Many people need Lake Victoria for fishing or growing food. Fish need the water to live, and animals need it for water. Plants around the lake will die without the water, and then more animals and people will suffer. Unless the lake fills soon, many people will suffer and die. （1）Lake Victoria is _.A . an important lake in AfricaB . the largest lake in the worldC . the source of water, food and power for AmericaD . the only source for the Nile River（2）What does “It is shrinking” most probably mean?A .

It is becoming more useful.（3）The water level of Lake Victoria is now _.A . 2.5 metersB . 11.9 metersC . 14.4 metersD . 9.4 meters（4）Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A . Rain water is the only source for the lake.B . There has been little rain in the lake area since 2000.C . The power plants in Uganda provide water for the lake.D .

More sources of water must be found.C . Every country should offer some money to Africa.D . All the people living in the area should move to another place.5. （8分） One summer vacation in my college, my roommate Ted asked to me to work on his fathers farm in Argentina. The idea was exciting. Then I had second thoughts. I had never been far from New England, and I had been homesick my first few weeks at college. What about the language? The more I thought about it, the more the idea worried me.Finally, I turned down the invitation. Then I realized I had turned down something I wanted to do because I was scared and felt depressed(沮丧). That experience taught me a valuable lesson and I developed a rule for myself: do what makes you anxious(焦虑); dont do what makes you depressed.In my senior year, I wanted to be a writer. But my professor wanted me to teach. I hesitated. The idea of writing was much scarier than spending a summer in Argentina. Back and forth I went, making my decision, unmaking it. Suddenly I realized that every time I gave up the idea of writing, that downhearted feeling went through me.Giving up writing really depressed me. Then I learned another lesson. To avoid the depression meant having to bear much worry and concern.When I first began writing articles, I often interviewed big names. Before each interview I would get butterflies in the stomach. One of them was the great composer Duke Ellington. On the stage and on television, he seemed very confident. Then I learned Ellington still got stage fright（害怕）. If Ellington still had anxiety attacks, how could I avoid them? I went on doing those frightening interviews. Little by little, I was even looking forward to the interviews. Where were those butterflies?In truth, they were still there, but fewer of them. I had learned from a process psychologists（心理学家） call “extinction”. If you put an individual in an anxious situation often, finally there isnt anything to be worried about, which brings me to a conclusion: youll never get rid of anxiety by avoiding the things that caused it.The point is that the new, the different, is definitely scary. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you.（1）We can infer from the passage that the author_.A . finds it difficult to make decisionB . has found out what causes anxietyC . was encouraged by Duke Ellingtons stage frightD . no longer feels anxious about new experiences（2）What does the word “extinction” in Paragraph 6 means?A . a persons loss of confidence little by littleB . the natural development of a childs abilitiesC . the inborn ability to avoid anxious situationsD . the process of losing fear by keeping facing anxiety（3）Which of the following opinions does the writer probably accept?A . Anxiety can be a positive driveB . Hesitation leads to depression.C . Avoiding anxiety reduces depression.D . Depression is a signal that one is growing up.（4）Whats the best title for the passage?A . Confidence: Key to SuccessB . Anxiety: Challenge by Another NameC . Depression: A Psychological AppearanceD . Success: A Trip Through Anxiety and Depression三、 词汇运用。 (共2题；共13分)6. （5分）B)根据语境从方框中选择恰当的单词填空，每词限用一次。list，test，culture，shorts，crazy（1）His sister studies American_at the university（2）The boy in blue_is my best friend（3）Before you go to the supermarket，youd better make a_（4）Lets swim in the river nowYou must be_Its only 5!（5）Tomorrow Ill take a maths_Good luck!7. （8分）用括号里的词的正确形式填空（1）Today, we saw the parades, all the_(perform) wore_(colour) clothes.（2）It was really_(cheer) to see the performance.（3）I saw many men smoking in public places today.
