Most of them spent their time laughing, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didnt seem to feel pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himselfHe asked a friend to help him Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Wells teeth. Wells felt no pain at all.

Probably thats why these animals are often referred to as koala bears. Koalas are natives of Australia. However, they arent found all over the continent. The habitat of koala bears is eastern regions of Australia and South Australia. Koalas are found where there are enough forests of eucalyptus(桉树) trees. The association of koalas and eucalyptus trees is due to the fact that these animals feed on the leaves of eucalyptus trees. But thats not all. In addition, the trees also serve as the homes of the koalas. Koalas grow around 27 to 36 inches tall and weigh 5 to 9 kilograms on average. Male kaolas are larger than the females. Life can stretch up to 17 years. Like many other animals, the habitat of koala bears is fast decreasing due to deforestation and quick urbanization(都市化). However, efforts by some scientists and animal lovers have successfully introduced these creatures back in certain parts of Australia.53. What do Koalas look like ? (回答词数不超过3个)54.

Americans will not live without cars! However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution by cars. It is necessary to find ways to solve the problem of air pollution.One way to clean the air is to build a new kind of clean car. Thats what several of the large car factories are trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. Engineers are now working on it. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model for us.To prevent the world being polluted by cars, Americans have to make some changes in the way of their life. They have to cut down on the number of their cars and are encouraged to travel and go to work by bike. But this change does not come easily. Many workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. And the problem of their pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.Americans may live a happy but sad life for a long time because of the car problem.Cars and Pollution in AmericanProblemMethods58._Conclution56_Building a new kind of 57._.Progress in this field is slow.Americans may live a 60._life.It takes years to develop a 59._Cutting down on the number of carsMany workers maylose their jobsTraveling and going to work by bike.第四部分 写作技能 (共两节，满分25分)第一节 完成译文 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据中文原文完成下列各英文译文，将答案填写到答题卡上。（每空限填一个词）61自1978年以来，我的家乡呈现出新的面貌。 Since 1978, my home town has _ _ a new look.62科学家正试图想出解决这个问题的方法。 The scientists are trying to _ _with a solution to the problem.63请挪一下，给这位老人让个地方。 Please move along and _ _for the old.64法律要求人人平等，不论种族、性别和出身。The law requires equal treatment for all, _ _race,sex and origin.65她致力于教育事业，深受学生的尊敬和喜爱。 She _ herself _the cause of teaching and was loved and respected by her students.第二节 情景作文（共1小题，满分15分）假设你刚采访完你校网页制作大赛一等奖获得者蒋毅同学，请根据以下采访记录为本地报社写一篇文章。要求：(1) 短文必须包括表中所有信息；(2) 词数在100左右；(3) 将短文写在答题卡上。Basic factsJiang Yi; boy;16; Class 5,Senior High 1EducationNo.1 Primary School in Jianghai CityFavorite subjectsMaths, Science, Computer and EnglishThe competitionJianghai Web Page Design Competition356 people from all walks of life took part in the competitionHobbiesFootball, Chinese chessDreamsAttend the best university, work in the IT industry Jiang Yi, first prize winner_高二英语听力材料及参考答案Keys: 15 BBAAA 610ABABB 1115BACBB16. 16/sixteen 17.10500 18.42/forty-two kilometers 19. cold20.A full report21-25 BCADA 26-30 DBABD31-35 BCDDA 36-40 BABAA41-44 CBBD 45-48 CBCD 49-52 CDAD53.
