lot of time out in the woods The woods was our part time address destination purpose and excuse If I went to a friends house and found him not at home his mother might say Oh he s out in the woods with a tone 语气 of airy acceptance It is similar to the tone people sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone I m looking for is on the golf course or at the gym or even away from his desk For us ten year olds being out in the woods was just an excuse to do whatever we feel like for a while We sometimes told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring 探索 用心 爱心 专心5 Exploring was a more popular idea back then than it is today History seemed to be mostly about explorers Our explorations though seemed to have less system than the historic kind something usually came up along the way Say we stayed in the woods throwing rocks shooting frogs picking blackberries digging in what we were briefly persuaded was an Indian burial mound Often we got lost and had to climb a tree to find out where we were If you read a story in which someone does that successfully be skeptical the topmost branches are usually too skinny to hold weight and we could never climb high enough to see anything except other trees There were four or five trees that we visited regularly tall beeches easy to climb and comfortable to sit in It was in a tree too that our days of fooling around in the woods came to an end By then some of us had reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence 青春 期 In March the month when we usually took to the woods again after winter two friends and I set out to go exploring We climbed a tree and all of a sudden it occurred to all three of us at the same time that we really were rather big to be up in a tree Soon there would be the spring dances on Friday evenings in the high school cafeteria 56 The author and his friends were often out in the woods to A spend their free time B play golf and other sports C avoid doing their schoolwork D keep away from their parents 57 What can we infer from Paragraph 2 A The activities in the woods were well planned B Human history is not the result of exploration C Exploration should be a systematic activity D The author explored in the woods aimlessly 58 The underlined word skeptical in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to A calm B doubtful C serious D optimistic 59 How does the author feel about his childhood A Happy but short B Lonely but memorable C Boring and meaningless D Long and unforgettable B B Volunteers as an essential part of a successful world exposition are a

A Assistance in media service B Helping the disabled C Emergency First aid D Visitor flow management C C Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major cause of climate change and now a new study has confirmed that atmospheric CO2 is also affecting the ocean chemistry and potentially harming sea life Montana State University scientist Robert Dore has been researching the water in the Pacific Ocean for almost two decades We ve been going to the same spot in the Pacific 用心 爱心 专心7 Ocean and we try and characterize long term change in the open ocean environment And one of the key things that we measure is CO2 levels And we ve been able to record this increasing quantity of atmospheric CO2 into the ocean Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased more and more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean affecting the chemical balance of the sea water with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in particular As carbon dioxide dissolves 溶解 in the water or seawater in this case it forms a weak acid carbonic acid Dore explains And therefore as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere goes up and that exchanges with the surface seawater it drives the PH down and makes it more acidic The seawater Dore and his colleagues have analyzed confirms what the theory predicts The effect was particular striking at about 250 meters down and again at 500 meters Dore and his colleagues came up with two possible explanations It could be that surface water picked up CO2 and then moved to those depths Or there could be a biological explanation It s important to realize that the oceans are really becoming acidic And it can have negative 消极的 impacts on a whole variety of sea life from fish to coral It s potentially catastrophic 63 What can be the best title of the passage A Sea Life Facing Danger B Scientist Researching Seawater C Oceans Becoming More Acidic D Climate Change Affecting Seawater 64 With the increase of atmospheric CO2 A more corals will appear in the sea B the surface water is becoming warmer C the chemical balance of the seawater is affected D the PH of the ocean out here has been increasing 65 Which of the following shows the process of the impact of atmospheric CO2 on sea life a Sea life is endangered b CO2 goes into the surface water c The ocean chemistry is affected d CO2decreases the PH and makes the seawater more acidic e CO2 levels in the atmosphere go up 66 Scientist Robert Dore came to the conclusion based on A his research and analysis B the expectation of other scientists C some former theory 用心 爱心 专心8 D a major cause of climate change D D The world is not coming to an end on December 21st 2012 the US space agency announced to dispel 消除 widespread rumors fueled by the Internet and a new Hollywood movie The latest big screen 2012 was based on stories according to the Mayan calendar It showed that by the end of 2012 a Planet X will collide 碰撞 with the earth Some websites accuse NASA of hiding the truth on the planet s existence but the US space agency considered such stories as tricks There is no basis in fact for these claims NASA said in its website If such a collision were real scientists would have been tracking it for at least the last decade and we would see itit with our eyes now Obviously it doesn t exist and there will be no threat to the earth in 2012 it insisted After all our planet has been getting along just well for more than four billion years added NASA There is another planet Eris floating in space But the small planet will remain safely fixed in the outer solar system and it can come no closer than four billion miles to the earth according to NASA And even if the planets were to line up as some have forecast the effect on our plant would be very little And while comets and asteroids 小行星 have always hit the earth big hits are very rare NASA noted The last major collision was believed to be 65 million years ago resulting the end of dinosaurs 恐龙 We are sure that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs the space agency said 67 What played a key role in the spread of the rumors A The Internet and the film 2012 B The Mayan calendar C The US space agency D The television screen 68 The underlined word it in Paragraph 3 probably refers to A the collision B the threat C the Planet X D the NASA website 69 We can conclude from the passage that A the film 2012 is well accepted in the science field B scientists have been tracking Planet X for over ten years C the earth will exist for more than four billion years D the rumors caused a panic among some people 70 What do we know about Eris according to the passage A It doesn t exist in the universe B It won t threaten the earth C It is too far to be seen D It is similar to the earth E E Mum what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton 骨骼 in the closet 衣橱 Jessica asked A skeleton in the closet her mother paused thoughtfully Well it s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about For example if in the past someone in Dad s family had been arrested for stealing a 用心 爱心 专心9 horse it would be a skeleton in his family s closet He really wouldn t want any neighbor to know about it Why pick on my family Jessica s father said with anger Your family history isn t so good you know Wasn t your great great grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes Yes but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners Gosh sorry I asked I think I understand now Jessica cut in before things grew worse After dinner the house was very quiet Jessica s parents were still quite angry with each other Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read When she finished she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her
