If you think that is a simple question, you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology(生物技术). With the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents, murder and war. Todays leading killers, such as heart disease, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memories.In discussion of technological changes, the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond l20 years because the basic materials of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs. The medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so on in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.It is exciting to imaging that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.24. According to the passage, human death is now mainly caused by .A. accidents and war B. diseases and aging C. accidents and aging D. heart disease and war25. In the authors opinion, todays most important advance in technology lies in .A. brain cells B. the Internet C. medicine D. human organ26. Humans may live longer in the future because .A. human organs can be repaired by new medicineB. human brains can decide the final deathC. the basic materials of cells will last foreverD. heart disease will be far away from us27. We can learn from the passage that .A. human life will not last more than 120 years in the futureB. humans have to take medicine to build new skin cells nowC. much needs to be done before humans can have a longer lifeD. we have already solved the technical problems in building new cellsCAbout 97% of the worlds water is salty and is found in our oceans and seas. But, as we cant drink seawater, how can it be important?Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different ocean depths. Most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food. These simple plants called algae (海藻) drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen. In fact, algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe. How important seawater is!Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain. The algae are eaten in large amounts by tiny animals, which are in turn consumed by larger animals. These food chains are delicately balanced.The bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man. People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didnt matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food. But we now know this is not true and fish stocks in the oceans have started to drop.Thankfully, the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine habitats（海洋环境）. Most countries have introduced fishing restrictions(限制) to protect fish stocks in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to deal with pollution. Finally, the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people. This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future. We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet. How important seawater is!28. People used to think that the rubbish thrown into the sea _.A. wouldnt harm the fish in the seaB. would change the balance of the food chainC. would be broken down in the seaD. wouldnt do much harm to the sea29. From the passage, we learn that _.A. most fish and sea animals live at the surface of the seasB. it is very difficult to break the balance of a food chainC. over-fishing has caused the decrease in fish stockD. it wont be long before the problems concerning oceans will be solved30. Which of the following is NOT a way being used to protect oceans?A. The use of international agreements.B. Forbidding fishing to protect fish stocks.C. The use of new techniques.D. Raising peoples awareness of the need to protect oceans.31. What would be the best title of the passage?A. The Importance of Seawater.B. Life in the Oceans.C. How to Protect Food Chains.D. How to Deal with Seawater Pollution. DMost people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness. The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation for example, family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year. The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type, habitual loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a persons social contacts（交往）, e.g. friends, family members, co-workers, etc. We depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their popularity.Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between habitual loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, habitual loneliness can be a sad and sometimes dangerous condition.32. How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage?A. Talk to friends. B. Just ignore it.C. Go to see a doctor. D. Ask your teachers for guidance.33.It in the last sentence of the second paragraph refers to _.A. a physical problem B. sleeplessness C. temporary loneliness D. situational loneliness 34. The topic of the 4th paragraph is that_.A. lonely people dont have many social problems B. we depend on various persons for different reasonsC. one problem of loneliness is a persons social contactsD. lonely people dont have many friends35. What is the best title for the passage?A. How to Get Rid of Loneliness B. Loneliness and DiseasesC. Loneliness and Social Contacts D. Three Types of Loneliness第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能坡入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多于选项。Sports for a new generationIntroductionWe often hear adults complaining that teenagers arent active enough and spend all their time sitting in front of computers, but one reason for this might be that teenagers are tired of doing the same sports we want something a bit more lively.The same old .For a lot of teens, the idea of hitting a ball over a net, throwing a ball through a hoop or hitting a ball with a stick, is no longer that interesting. 36 Why Teenup?The good news for teenagers is that this is exactly what we provide at Teenup（青少年）! 37 The best thing about it is that we also provide experienced trainers to help you learn the sport and get the most of it. 38 So, come along today and pick from a range of different sports.

As a kid, I was always climbing trees, poles, and 41 upside down from the rafters(屋橼) of our house. 42 , it came as no surprise for my dad to 43 me at the top of a 30-foot tree, swinging back and forth. I never considered that the tree might break or that I might get 44 ; I just thought it was 45 to be up so high.My cousin, Tammy, was in the same tree. She was hanging onto the first big 46 about ten feet below me. Tammys mother also 47 us at the exact time as my dad did. Just then, a huge gust of wind came over the tree and I could feel it beginning to sway. I remember hearing my dads 48 over the wind yelling, “Bart, 49 on tightly.” So I did.The next thing I knew, I heard Tammy 50 at the top of her lungs. She was 51 flat on the ground. She had fallen out of the tree.I made it down the tree to 52 . My dad later told me why Tammy had fallen and I hadnt. 53 , when Tammys mother had felt the wind, she had yelled out, “Tammy, dont 54 .” So Tammy did just that.My dad then 55 to me that the mind has a very 56 time dealing with negative images. In order to deal with the 57 not to fall, Tammys brain had to first imagine falling, and then tell the brain not to do what it just imagined. However, my eight-year-old brain 58 had an internal(内部的) image of hanging on tightly.This “self-talk” is especially useful when you are 59 to break a habit or set a goal. You cant imagine not doing something in your mind. The only way to accomplish it is to find a word for what you want to do.Im now a pretty good football player, and Im sure its because all my internal dialogue is 60 and encourages me to win. All this I owe to my dad.41. A. walking B. hanging C. foolingD. playing42. A. However B. AlsoC. ThereforeD. Meanwhile43. A. meet B. admireC. allow D. find44. A. trappedB. hurt C. teased D. scolded45.
