Zero visibility. The moon and the stars were covered by the clouds. As he was climbing only a few feet away from the top of the mountain, he slipped suddenly and fell into the air, falling at great speed. He could only see black spots as he went down, and the terrible sensation of being sucked by gravity grew more and more powerful.He kept falling, and in the moments of great fear, it came to his mind all the good and bad aspects of his life, his ambition, his failure, relatives, friends and. He was thinking now about how close death was getting, when all of a sudden he felt the rope tied to his waist pull him very hard. His body was hanging in the air.Only the rope was holding him and in that moment of stillness he had no other but to scream, “Help me! Help me, God.”All of a sudden, a deep voice coming from the sky answered, “What do you want me to do?”“Save me, God.”“Do you really think I can save you?”“Of course! I believe you can.”“Then cut the rope tied to your waist.”There was a moment of silence and the man decided to hold on to the rope with all his strength.The rescue team tells that the next morning a climber was found dead and frozen, his body hanging from a rope. His hands holding tight to it. Only one foot away from the ground.And we? How attached we are to the rope tied to our waist? Sometimes we are always tied to what we take as the only dependence. Maybe we should have a try to let ourselves go.21. We can know that_.A. the man fell down on reaching the topB. the man was found dead at daybreakC. the man was saved thanks to the ropeD. the man thought nothing during falling22. Actually the man really believed _.A. God B. fortune C. himself D. rope23. Whats the best title of the passage?A. The Master of Fate B. Believe yourself C. Have the Last Laugh D. Let go of the ropeBDo dogs understand us?Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee.In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldnt see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive.Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.Its hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they cant talk back. Still, it wouldnt hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!24. From paragraph 2 we know that _ .A. animals are as clever as human beingsB. dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzeesC. chimpanzees have very good word-learning skillsD. dogs have similar learning abilities as 3-year-old children25. Both experiments show that .A. Rico is smart enough to get all commands rightB. Rico can recognize different things including toysC. Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematicsD. Rico wont forget the names of objects once recognizing them26. Which of the following statements is true?A. The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collies mental abilities.B. Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training.C. The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects.D. Rico is born to understand its owners commands.27. What does the writer want to tell us?A. To train your dog. B. To talk to your dog.C. To be friendly to your dog. D. To be careful with your dog.C“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more time poor than ever before,” says Patsy Rowe, “Manners have fallen off the radar(雷达).” Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people dont wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint（抱怨）about the noise. Here are some examples of rudeness. Some people prefer to do almost everything over the internet. To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels very slow because humans dont work at 4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous（匿名的）rude messages by email. However, rudeness is never acceptable. Dont assume it is OK to be rude if the person youre in touch with wont recognize you. If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.We shouldnt blame technology for our shortcomings. Technology is here to help us, but we should not allow it to take over our lives. An important step is acknowledging our shortcomings. People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more help if wed publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.28. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1? A. People care little about their behavior.B. Radar is able to observe human behavior. C. People can tell good from bad behavior.D. Radar can be used to predict human behavior.29. Some people are less willing to deal with humans because _. A. they are becoming less patient B. they have to follow an evolutionary step backward C. they have to handle many important messages D.they are growing too independent30.The author thinks sending unsigned awful messages is_.A. ridiculous B. reasonable C. acceptable D. disgusting31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?32. A. We should keep pointing out mistakes. B. Technology can never be blamed33. C. We should applaud good behavior. D. Technology will take over lives one day.DPeople have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer even though they have lifespans（寿命）that are similar to humans, living for around 50 to 70 years.Now scientists believe they know why. A team at the University of Chicago, US has found that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors（肿瘤）developing. To be precise, they found 20 copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP53 in elephants. Most other species, including humans, only carry one copy.According to the research, the extra copies of the gene improved the animals sensitivity to DNA damage, which lets the cells quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can go on to form deadly tumors.“An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes in many animals,” the study author Dr. Vincent Lynch told The Guardian. If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous (癌变的), large creatures with a long lifespan like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and mice. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass.This phenomenon was found by Oxford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s and later named “Petos paradox（悖论）”. Biologists believe it results from larger animals using protection that many smaller animals do not. In the elephants case, the making of TP53 is natures way of keeping this species alive.The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in mice, they had the same cancer resistance as elephants. This means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help stop cancers spreading or even developing in the first place.“Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer,” said Joshua Schiffman, a biologist at the School of Medicine, University of Utah, US. “Its up to us to learn how different animals deal with the problem so that we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people.”32. Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer?A. They have a rather large body size.B. Their genes suffer no DNA damage.C. They carry many genes to prevent tumors developing.D.Certain genes in their body kill existing tumors.33. According to the passage, what has been a risk in the evolution of large animals?A.Cells killing themselves. B. The huge body mass.C.Deadly tumors. D. Sensitivity to DNA damage.34. What does the underlined part “This phenomenon” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?A. The risk of cancer is not related to body size.B. Larger animals have protection from TP53.C. Larger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller ones.D. The larger animals are, the bigger risk of cancer they will have.35. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Depending on nature is surely enough to fight against cancer.B. The TP53 genes have proved useful in stopping cancer in people.C. The extra copies of elephants genes are used to cure cancer patients.D. Humans are expected to prevent cancer with the making of TP53.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。Everyone can help to save the world We are all environmentalists now. We all know about acid rain and the ozone hole. _36_ As consumers we have the power to make decisions which will contribute to a better world and it is in our power to do what we can to protect the earth. _37_ In this way we have the power to influence retailers (零售商) to sell us these so-called “green” products. Therefore, the supermarkets have understood the message and are now trying to improve their environmental image. They are turning to less wasteful and recyclable packaging. The range of “green” products will continue to expand to meet the growing demand. This message has also reached the manufacturers. _38_ They have realized that protecting the environment may start as an advertising campaign but in the hands of intelligent people it can become a very profitable business. Besides, we can do more. Furthermore, we also know there are other areas where all of us can make a positive contribution to a cleaner, healthier and safer environment. _39_ There are a number of ways we can do this. For example, we now know how important it is to have our homes well insulated (隔热). We should choose the best energy efficient technology, such as modern light bulbs which can reduce electricity consumption by 80% over the older ones. We must also work hard to reduce the amount of rubbish we produce. We all produce tons of rubbish and waste disposal has become a big problem. As an environmentally-conscious consumer we should buy products which do not have so much packaging. Also, we should try to avoid non-returnable goods at all costs. In Scandinavia and Germany, for example, plastic bottles and cans are now returnable goods. In conclusion it is important to emphasize once again the rise of consumer power. We must realize that we are all part of the problem. _40_A. We can all reduce energy consumption at home and so cut the emissions from power systems.B. For example, when we walk into a supermarket we can choose to buy environmentally friendly products and reject products which damage our planet.C. There are some other ways to protect the environment.D. Companies are developing environmentally friendly products that maintain a high quality and a low price.E. But what are we doing about these problems?F. Nevertheless we must also realize that we have the responsibility to be part of the solution.G. Everybody has the duty to contribute to a cleaner world.第三部分：英语知识应用（共两节，20小题；满分30分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I was feeling a little blue.
