Today, many teachers wonder if it is possible to make children learn at all.They say you must let children learn and discover things by themselves.But for some children, school is a kind of prison.They are there only because their parents make them go.They get out of the classroom as soon as the teacher lets them leave.Many of them want to find jobs but the law will not allow them to work until they reach a certain age.And so, they have to stay in school.Often they do not learn anything at all and hate every moment.第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)第一节(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。AA rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below 16.Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. Without the forest cover, these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere, warming the rest of the world.Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns, potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.In the past hundred years, humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources: land for crops, wood for paper and other products, land for raising farm animals. This action affects the environment as a whole. For example, a lot of carbon dioxide in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, when people cut down trees, generally they can only use the land for a year or two. Secondly, cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now, but in the long run it actually reduces the worlds wood supply.Rainforests are often called the worlds drug store. More than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However, fewer than 1% of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value. It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the worlds shrinking rainforests.语篇导读本文为议论文，论述了热带雨林的重要作用以及砍伐热带雨林对环境的影响。21What does the underlined word “this” in the third paragraph refer to?AWe will lose much more than we can gain.BHumans have begun destroying rainforests.CPeople have a strong desire for resources.DMuch carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests.解析 A代词指代题。根据第二段最后一句和第三段内容可知，this指的是上文中提到的we will suffer much more than we will benefit，故选A项。22What can we know from the passage?AWe can get enough resources without rainforests.BThere is great medicine potential in rainforests.CWe will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained land.DThe level of annual rainfall affects wind patterns.解析 B细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知，热带雨林有大量医药资源，故选B项。23What might be the best title for the passage?AHow to Save RainforestsBHow to Protect NatureCRainforests and the EnvironmentDRainforests and Medical Development解析 C标题归纳题。本文主要论述了热带雨林的重要作用以及砍伐热带雨林对环境所造成的影响，故选C项。BRecreational tree climbing is taking root in the ecotourism industry, and its sending guys like Tim Kovar to far off reaches of the globe. Kovar, a treeclimbing instructor, recently returned to the US. from Brazil, where he spent time developing a treeclimbing operation thanks to the “slow travel” movement.Slow travel, is like the slow food movement, the practice of giving fast food in favor of homegrown cookingthe kind that takes hours to prepare and enjoy. Likewise, slow travel urges visitors to experience a places natural surroundings and learn about the ecology in a way not afforded by extreme games.“Tree climbing is a slow activity，” says Kovar. “Its not something you do quickly and then youre on to the next thing or event.” There is no such thing as a quick climb, especially for beginners. This wasnt a race against the clock or the fellow climbers. In fact, tree climbing is unlikely to ever become a feature of the extreme games. Many climbers refuse competition. There has already been so much competition in the world.“When you stand below the tree, it can be amazing，” Rusel DeMaria says, looking affectionately up at Michaels Triumph, a 150foottall tree. But reaching the treetop, he adds, is an entirely different feeling. Likewise, his wife, Viola Brumbaugh, kneels on the ground and asks Michaels Triumph for permission to climb. “It goes a lot smoother that way，” she says. And climbing has been included into many educational programs. New Tribe offers guided climbs through its school, Tree Climbing Northwest, where “we teach enough tree biology and forest ecology to raise awareness in our students，” says New Tribe present Sophis Sparks. “We know that the tree climbing experience deepens personal appreciation for trees. After climbing, people value trees more and are motivated to support preservation. This is not just to preserve their playground.”Perhaps that is why he struggles with the term “recreational tree climbing，” saying, “I prefer to call it inspirational tree climbing.”语篇导读本文为说明文，主要介绍了“爬树”这一新潮的生态旅游形式。它不但给人们带来了乐趣，而且还提高了人们保护树木的意识。24What do slow travel and the slow food movement have in common?AThey take people a long time.BThey are related to the ecotourism industry.CThey advocate protecting nature.DThey cost people little money.解析 A细节理解题。根据第二段第一句中的the kind that takes hours to prepare and enjoy可知，slow travel和slow food movement的共同点在于它们花的时间很长，故选A项。25What do we know about tree climbing from the passage?APeople compete to see who can climb to the top first.BIt favors the experience of enjoying nature.CIt is a kind of extreme sport and needs a lot of effort.DPeople view it as a challenge to climb the tallest tree in a forest.解析 B推理判断题。根据第二段第二句可推断，爬树有助于人们享受自然，故选B项。26Why does Sophia Sparks prefer the term “inspirational tree climbing”？ABecause it provides people with more chances to play outside.BBecause it brings a lot of pleasure to life.CBecause it deepens personal love between each other.DBecause it makes people realize they should protect trees.解析 D推理判断题。根据第五段倒数第二句可推断，爬树让人们意识到要保护树木，故选D项。CConservation scientists have recruited satellites to help discover and protect unknown species before they disappear.Satellites can collect information on the vegetation(植被), climate, and terrain(地带)of remote and unexplored regions, explained Christopher Raxworthy, an associate leader at the American Museum of Natural History.Scientists take the information from satellites and compare it with information about where known types of animals live.By examining the data, scientists can predict regions where new species are most likely to be found.The new method could help eliminate(排除) some of the guesswork involved with conservation.To prove the technique works, Raxworthy and other scientists are using satellite information to confirm the location of animals on the island of Madagascar, located off the east coast of Africa.Madagascar is considered a biodiversity hot spot.Great numbers of species call the island home, and they are under constant threat(威胁)from human activity.There are several reasons why the use of satellite technology in conservation is becoming more common.Images from space are cheaper so more groups can use them.Also, scientists can now take GPS (global positioning system)receivers to record precise locations of where they make observations.Using satellite data, scientists can analyze larger areas “in ways you couldnt with information gained on foot or by driving a car，”said Woody Turner, a scientist with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.The use of satellite images may help scientists quickly decide where to look for endangered animals, which could save some very rare species.“Habitat loss in many regions is occurring so fast that some species may be lost before we find them，”Raxworthy wrote in an email to National Geographic News.语篇导读本文为说明文。世界上的每一个地方都有着不为人类所知的资源与未知物种。如何去探测呢？随着科技的进步，利用探测卫星可以解决这一问题。27What infomation can scientists get by means of satellites?AThe vegetation, and some remote and unexplored areas.BThe vegetation, climate, and some remote and unexplored regions.CThe global positioning system receivers.DThe island of Madagascar, located off the east coast of Africa.解析 B细节理解题。根据第二段可知，科学家通过卫星可以收集关于植被、气候、偏远的和未经勘探的地带的信息，故选B项。28What can satellite technology offer when used to collect infomation?APrecise locations with low expenses.BPrecise locations to find endangered animals.CPrecise locations with low expenses and larger areas covered.DPrecise locations to save more rare animals.解析 C细节理解题。根据倒数第三段最后两句和倒数第二段可知，卫星技术可以提供精确的定位，覆盖更大的面积，且耗成本低，故选C项。29Why do the scientists choose Madagascar to prove the technique works?ABecause it is convenient to reach for most scientists.BBecause it is located off the east coast of Africa and many species are under humans threat.CBecause it is considered a biodiversity hot spot and many species are under humans threat.DBecause great numbers of species call Madagascar home.解析 C细节理解题。根据第四段最后两句可知，科学家选择马达加斯加是因为它是生物多样性热点地区，许多物种处在人类的威胁下，故选C项。30Why does the author say “before they disappear” in the first paragraph?ABecause there are many regions in the world unexplored.BBecause scientists can predict regions where new species are most likely to be found.CBecause scientists can take GPS receivers to make observations.DBecause habitat loss is occurring so fast that some species may be lost before we find them.解析 D细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句可知，栖息地减少得太快，以至于一种物种可能在我们发现之前就消亡了，故选D项。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。For centuries, people have wondered about the strange places that they seem to visit in their sleep. 31 However, they have been valued as necessary to a persons health and happiness.Historically people thought dreams contained messages from God. It was only in the twentieth century that people started to study dreams scientifically believing that they tell about a persons character. 32 He believed that dreams allow a person to express fantasies or fears, which would be socially unacceptable in real life.The second theory to become popular was Carl Jungs compensation theory. Jung, a former student of Freud, said that the purpose of a dream is not to hide something, but rather to communicate it to the dreamer. 33 Thus, people who think too highly of themselves may dream about falling; those who think too little of themselves dream of being heroes.Using more recent research, William Domhoff from the University of California found that dreaming is a mental skill that needs time to develop in humans. 34 Until they reach age five, they cannot express very well what their dreams are about. Once people become adults, there is little or no c
