The purpose of this passage is to _.A. make an advertisement for the museumB. encourage adults to bring their children there C. show what is on display in the museumD. attract people to explore the universe CFashion refers to the styles of dress that are currently popular. Fashion goes beyond just clothes, though. Its important for some people to wear only the latest fashions and styles. For others, though, keeping up with trends (潮流) isnt that important. The one thing that stays the same with fashion is this: it always changes!In the 1960s and 1970s, hippies made bell-bottomed blue jeans popular. In the 1980s, Michael Jackson made parachute pants all the fashion. Now try to find these items in todays clothing stores!Why do fashions change? The answer is probably as simple as the fact that people change. Over time, the new replaces the old. People are influenced greatly by popular culture, including athletes, musicians, movie stars, as well as popular films, televisions shows, books and music. We are also influenced by the fashion industrys advertising.The stars of popular culture are always searching for a new angle to maintain (保持) their popularity. Often these new angles come in the form of new clothing or hairstyles. When people see these new styles, they often want to imitate their favorite stars. To do so, they seek out the latest fashions to make themselves look like the people they want to imitate. In this way, fashions evolve and change over time.For years, clothes have been used to separate people into groups. Even today, brand-name clothing that is more expensive than other types of clothing can be used by some people to distinguish themselves from others. Unfortunately, this can often have the effect of distancing certain groups from others. Dont forget that its always OK to develop your own sense of style that is unique and separate from what the fashion world determines! Stay true to yourself and let your personality not your clothes speak for who you are.28. The examples of bell-bottomed blue jeans and parachute pants in Paragraph 3 are used to show that _. A. people often have different dressing stylesB. trends of fashion are changing all the time C. people are always affected greatly by the stars D. hippies and Michael Jackson are good designers29. Fashion change mainly because _.A. new films and shows replace the oldB. movie stars are changing over timeC. popular culture influences peopleD. advertisements change rapidly30. We can learn from the text that _.A. clothes may separate and distance peopleB. people like imitating others dressing styleC. the author has clearly gone out of fashionD. fashion is all about clothes people wear31. In the last paragraph, the author mainly wants to stress _.A. the advantages of staying unique and separateB. the bad effects of following fashions and styles C. the good benefits of popular styles to peopleD. the importance of having ones own personalityDDarek Fidyka, a 38-year-old Bulgarian, had been paralyzed (瘫痪的) from the chest down for four years after a knife attack. Scientists from Britain and Poland took cells from his nose, transplanted (移植) them into his back and re-grew his spinal cord (脊髓). Now he can walk and even drive a car. The doctors were delighted but said it was the first step in a long journey.The breakthrough came after 40 years of research by Professor Geoff Raisman, who found that cells had the possibility to repair damage to nasal (鼻腔的) nerves, the only part of the nervous system that constantly re-grows. “The idea was to take something from an area where the nervous system can repair itself and put it into an area that doesnt repair itself,” Professor Raisman said.Polish doctors injected (注射) the nasal cells into Mr Fidykas spinal cord above the injury and used some nerves from his ankle to form a bridge across the damaged tissue. The nasal cells appear to have caused the spinal nerves to repair themselves. Professor Raisman achieved this with rats in the late 1990s, but this is his greatest success. “I think the moment of discovery for me was Christmas in 1997 when I first saw a rat, which couldnt control its hand, put its hand out to me. That was an exciting moment, because I realized then that my belief that the nervous system could be repaired was true.”Doctors chose the easiest case for their first attemptit might not work for others. But there is a real sense of hope that an idea once thought impossible has been realized.David Nicholls, who helped provide money for the breakthrough, said information about the breakthrough would be made available to researchers across the globe.“What youve got to understand is that for three million paralyzed people in the world today, the world looks a totally brighter place than it did yesterday,” he said.32. Why did Professor Geoff Raisman choose cells from the nose? A. The nervous system in the nose can repair itself.B. Cells from the nose can be easily transplanted.C. The nervous system in the nose has more cells.D. Cells in the nose are able to re-produce rapidly.33. How did the operation work for Darek Fidyka?A. The nervous system in the spinal nerves can repair itself.B. The nerves from his ankle cured the patient of the injury.C. The nasal cells re-produced and spread over very quickly.D. The nasal cells helped the spinal nerves to repair themselves.34. What made Professor Geoff Raisman begin to believe the nervous system can be repaired?A. His former study with other people.B. His operation on a paralyzed patient.C. His sudden thought about Christmas.D. His unusual experience with a sick rat.35. David Nicholls words suggest that _.A. the world will become a better and brighter placeB. paralyzed people of today have the hope of recovery C. the report of the breakthrough will be published soonD. researchers across the world will carry out the operation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。For millions of years, coral reefs（珊瑚礁）have provided homes and food for thousands of different living things. Fish and sea birds share the reef with other creatures. Now these beautiful places are in danger. 36 Scientists have found that more than one-fourth of the earths coral reefs have been ruined so far. Another quarter will disappear in ten years time. Unless things change, all of the remaining reefs may die within your lifetime.Some people think that coral is stone because of its rough（粗糙的）, hard surface. But coral is an animal. Tiny polyps（水螅体）form the coral reefs. 37 These colors come from the algae（海藻）living inside the coral. Billions of coral polyps stick together. New ones grow on the dead ones. This happens year after year. Over time, the coral builds up a reef. The reef rises from the ocean floor until it almost reaches the seas surface. It takes coral 500,000 years to build a huge reef. 38 The coral reefs have been harmed mainly in three ways. The first factor is pollution on land. The pollutants run with rainwater into streams and rivers, which carry the poisons into the ocean. 39 So they will be easily infected with diseases. Another cause is people. People have broken off pieces of coral, which they want to sell or keep as souvenirs. People have dropped sticks of dynamite（炸药）into the water to catch more fish. The worst problem is the heating up of the oceans. Higher ocean temperatures kill the important food source for the coralthe algae, the tiny greenish-gold water plants that live on coral. 40 The coral turns white and dies. Scientists call this coral bleaching（珊瑚白化）. The bleached part of the coral reef cannot recover. A. They come in many different colors.B. However, humans have taken less than 100 years to destroy it.C. This has blown up parts of the reefs.D. When the algae die, the coral loses both its food and its color.E. So are all the sea plants and animals that depend on them.F. Chemicals from the poisons kill reefs or make them weak.G. Many of them might not even last that long!第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Most people agree that a pet adds joy to a persons life.
