Airliners get larger and larger. Some airplanes can carry over 300 passengers. And the air itself becomes more and more crowded. If one large airliner struck into another in midair, 600 lives could be lost.From the moment an airliner takes off to the moment it lands, every movement is watched on radar screens. Air traffic controllers tell the pilot exactly when to turn, when to climb and when to come down.The air traffic controllers around a busy airport like London, Heathrow may deal with 2,500 planes a day. Not all of them actually land at the airport. Any plane that flies near the airport comes under the orders of the controllers there. Even a small mistake on their part could cause a terrible accident.Recently such a disaster almost happened. Two large jets were flying towards the airport. One was carrying 69 passengers from Toronto, the other 176 passengers from Chicago. An air traffic controller noticed on his radar（雷达） screen that the two planes were too close to each other. He ordered one to turn to the right and to climb. But he made a mistake. He ordered the wrong plane to do this. So, instead of turning away from the second plane the first plane turned towards it. Fifteen seconds later, it flew directly in front of the second plane. They avoided each other by the smallest part of a second. The distance between them was less than that of a large swimming pool. This is an example of the danger that grows every year.（1）The air traffic controllers of an airport _.A . control all the planes flying near the airportB . give orders to planes leaving the airportC . only deal with the planes that want to land thereD . are allowed to handle 250 planes a day（2）The danger of air crashes（碰撞） grows every year because _.A . airliners are getting larger and air traffic is becoming heavierB . a pilot does not always hear a controllers orderC . a controller is likely to make more and more mistakesD . airports can hardly serve the growing number of airplanes（3）The example in the passage is to show that _.A . air traffic controllers are often carelessB . air traffic controllers should pay much attention to avoiding accidentsC . it is difficult for airplanes to avoid terrible accidentsD . two planes should not fly too close to each other12. （8分）阅读理解Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others Believe that success mostly Comes down to luck. Im not going to say luck, talent, and Circumstances(境遇)dont Come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are Born with great intelligence, and thats just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then make it more practical. And, vesides that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10, 000 hours studying and practising. To vecome great at certain things, itll require even more time, which most people wont put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you dont enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you give up before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there. Its sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were Born with some unusual talent, But thinking that way does you no good, and theres a huge Chance that youre wrong anyway.No matter what you do, if you want to Become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction(入迷), and over a long period of time. If youre not willing to put in the time and work, dont expect to receive any rewards. Hard work wont guarantee(保证)you the level of success you may want, But it will guarantee that you will Become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.（1）Paragraph 1 mainly talks about _. A . the reasons for successB . the meaning of successC . the standards of successD . the importance of success（2）The underlined word that refers to _. A . putting in more timeB . succeeding in lifeC . Being good at somethingD . setting a practical goal（3）Successful people suggest doing what one loves Because _. A . work makes him feel painB . he is likely to enjoy his workC . he gives up his work easilyD . it takes a lot of time to succeed（4）What is the main purpose of the passage? A . To explain that luck or talent leads to success.B . To tell us that one cannot succeed without time and practice.C . To show us that having a goal is the main reason to success.D . To describe that successful people like to show their great skills.13. （10分） An ant(蚂蚁)was drinking at a small river and fell in. She tried her best to reach the side, but she couldnt move at all.

This person is a hero because he or she has done something to help protect animals in danger. Huang Jing decided to write a letter to the President of China.Dear Mr. President,I have been doing a project at school recently about animals in danger. I think the situation all over the world is really terrible. I am writing to you to suggest what China should do to help protect animals more.I know that there are nearly 2,000 nature reserves in China, which is good. I live in Beijing and there are about 30 reserves outside the city. We visited one of them last month to see for ourselves.I feel so sorry for the giant panda. Its one of the most popular animals in the world and a real symbol of China. We learned that pandas mainly live on bamboo, and that a panda can eat half its body weight of bamboo in 24 hours! Thats a lot of bamboo. I think we should try to do more to stop cutting down forests. Pandas are already a rare animal and it would be so sad if they became extinct (灭绝) forever.The other animal we should try to protect more is the Chinese alligator (扬子鳄). These creatures live in some parts of eastern China. These beautiful animals live in freshwater rivers and lakes but the water in some places isnt clean enough for them to live in. Its really dirty in fact. The government should stop factories polluting the lakes and rivers.If we protect these beautiful animals in China, more foreigners may wish to visit China to see them. They could be an important tourist attraction. It would be good if more people came to visit our beautiful country, especially to see the quieter areas in the country. Now most visitors just see the cities.I hope you will encourage more people to think about such an important subject.Sincerely yours,Huang Jing（1）Whats Huang Jings project at school about?（2）What animals did Huang Jing talk about in his letter?（3）How much bamboo can a panda eat in 24 hours?（4）Why is the water in some places too dirty for alligators to live in?（5）If you are a hero of the month like Huang Jing, what else will you possibly do to help protect the animals in danger?四、 根据句意和音标提示以适当形式填写正确的单词。 (共7题；共18分)15. （1分）Is there something to eat.?
