Now, a teenager with 11 problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog. In many ways, a diary and a blog are very 12 . So, what makes blogging different from writing in a(an) 13 diary?The biggest difference is that blogging is much more 14 than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats her diary like a book full of 15 that she does not want to 16 . Its interesting that someone who writes in a blog 17 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her blog. She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test. When I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but 18 in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was 19 that my sister might read it! The biggest 20 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 21 about her in my diary, she would never know. 22 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend might read her blog and get angry.There are also 23 to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “Nobody cares about me,” 24 would know about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would quickly respond and tell her how much they like her. Blogs help people stay in 25 with her friends and to hear what the people around them are doing. 11. A. the same B. troublesome C. difficult D. daily12. A. familiar B. special C. similar D. different13. A. personal B. ordinary C. common D. traditional14. A. attractive B. public C. convenientD. quick15. A. thoughts B. puzzles C. mysteries D. secrets16. A. tell B. share C. publish D. solve17. A. instead of B. as well as C. in favor of D. in spite of 18. A. only B. already C. still D. never19. A. angry B. concerned C. glad D. worried20. A. problem B. doubt C. trouble D. mistake21. A. hard B. wrong C. mean D. funny22. A. Besides B. However C. Therefore D. Then23. A. reasons B. disadvantage C. shortcomings D. advantages24. A. everyone B. no one C. anyone D. someone25. A. friendship B. contact C. public D. mind三阅读理解 （2*15=30分）AWhy should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often askedPerhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup（基因构成）as human beingsWhat drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survivalPerhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possibleNearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared forWithout knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the dangerWith knowledge, we can lessen its effectsExploration also allows minerals and other potential （潜在的）resources to be foundEven if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful laterResources may be more than physical possessionsKnowledge or techniques have been acquired through explorationThe techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our livesWe have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systemsEven non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products （副产品）of technological developments in the space industry!While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save usWhile space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangersThe danger exists, but knowledge can help human being to surviveWithout the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not existWhile Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planetsIt is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future26Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph1?ATo express his doubtsBTo compare different ideasCTo introduce points for discussionDTo describe the conditions on Earth27What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph2?AHumans are nature-born to do soBHumans have the tendency to fightCHumans may find new sources of foodDHumans dont like to stay in the same place28The underlined word spin-offs in Paragraph 4 probably refers to_Asurvival chances Bpotential resourcesCunexpected benefits Dphysical possessions29What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?AOur genetic makeup BResources on the earthCThe adaptive ability of humans DBy-products in space exploration30Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?ASpace exploration has created many wondersBSpace exploration provided the best value for moneyCSpace exploration can benefit science and technology.DSpace exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.BBritain and France are separated by the English Channel, a body of water that can be crossed in as few as 20 minutes. But the cultures of the two countries sometimes seem to be miles apart.Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100th anniversary (周年纪念) of the signing of a friendship agreement called the Entente Cordiality. The agreement marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and love-hate partnership.But their relationship has been ups and downs over the past century. Just last year, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war-which British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac speaking out against it. This discomfort is expressed in Blair and Chiracs body language at international meetings. While the French leader often greets German Chancellor（总理） Gerhard Schroeder with a hug (拥抱), Blair just receives a handshake. However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties.The history of divisions may well be because of the very different ways in which the two sides see the world. But this doesnt stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. However, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction. Surveys (调查) show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they do to the British. And the research carried out in Britain has found that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike Frances close relationship with Germany, or because the French are not happy with Britains close links with the US.Whatever the answer is, as both sides celebrate 100 years of doubtful friendship, they are at least able to make jokes about each other. Heres one: Whats the best thing about Britains relationship with France? The English Channel (英吉利海峡).31. For centuries, the relationship between Britain and France is _.A. friendlyB. impoliteC. brotherlyD. a mixture of love and hate.32. The war in Iraq does _ to the relationship between France and Britain.A. goodB. harmC. neither good nor harmD. both good and harm33. The British are not so friendly to _ and the French are not so friendly to _.A. Germany; AmericaB. America; GermanyC. Germany; GermanyD. America; America34. _are more interested in having holidays in _.A. American people BritainB. British people GermanyC. French people BritainD. British people France35. What does the last sentence mean? _A. As long as the English Channel exists, no further disagreement will form between France and Britain.B. The English Channel can prevent anything unfriendly happening in both France and Britain.C. France and Britain are near neighbors, and this will help balance the relationship between them.D. The English Channel is the largest enemy between France and Britain.C （信息匹配）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请把答案填写在答题卡上将对应题号上。(选E项，在答题卡上将A,B涂黑; 选F项，在答题卡上将C,D涂黑) The Blue Mercury Hotel has a varieties of different hotel rooms for different kinds of people.
