NASA researchers have 21 90 ducks into holes in Greenlands fastest moving glacier, the Jakobshavn Glacier between Greenland and Canada. The 22 have each been marked with the words science experiment along with an e-mail address. If they are found scientists will be able to 23 how the water moves through the ice and provide information about the 24 of glaciers. Scientists are still 25 about why glaciers speed up in summer and head towards the sea. One theory is that as the summer sun melts ice on top of the glaciers surface, the water moves to the bottom of the glacier, where it helps to 26 the movement of ice towards the coast. The Jakobshavn Glacier is believed to be the 27 of the iceberg that sank the Titanic in 1912. Robert Jones, the experiment organizer, said none of the ducks had been 28 yet. “We havent heard back but it may take some time until somebody actually finds it and decides to send us a/an 29 that they have found it,” he said. “These are places that are 30 so there arent many people walking around.21. A. flown B. buried C. hidden D. dropped22. A. results B. toys C. glaciers D. scientists23. A. remember B invent C. learn D. control24. A. development B. movement C. growth D. travels25. A. unsure B. excited C. concernedD. ignorant26. A. reduce B. control C. speed up D. stop27. A. position B. source C. reason D. result28. A. hurt B. eaten C. missing D. reported29. A. email B. card C. fax D. sign30. A. hidden B. lost C. remote D. quiet答案解析21D 考查动词辨析，根据上下文，科学家应该是投放(dropped)了90只玩具鸭子，所以选D。22B 从上文的“Rubber ducks”可以看出来，这些都是玩具鸭子，所以用toys。23C 此处表达的意思为如果这些玩具鸭子被找到的话，科学家就能够了解(learn)水是如何在冰与冰之间流动的，而且也能够提供冰川运动(movement)的信息，所以选C。24B 参见第23题解析。25A 从上千文可知，这里科学家仍然不确知为什么冰川在夏季加速运动，向海洋流动，所以选A。26C 从上文“why glaciers speed up in summer and head towards the sea”可以推断出，这里用speed up，表示“加速，加快”的含义。27B Jakobshavn冰川被认为是撞沉Titanic的冰山的源头(source)，所以选B。28D 从语意来看，这里是说，Robert Jones说，还没有鸭子被报道(reported)。也就是说，还没有人拣到玩具鸭子，所以选D。29A 结合语境以及前面的动词send可以看出，应该是拣到的人给组织者发邮件(email)，告知已经拣到，所以选A。30C 结合语境可知，人们还没有拣到玩具鸭子是因为这些地方很偏远(remote)，以至于没有多少人去过。2.语法填空阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为31-40的相应位置上。字数：147完成时间：9分钟难度：* Years ago, I worked with the Notco Company as the head of the designing department.

These young people really showed the promise of how rewarding physical activities are! We disabled can and should be - as active as anyone else. When we get and stay active, we will feel better, be able to do more, have healthier bodies, and look better. It is a fact that exercise actually produces energy and builds on itself. The more we exercise, the fitter our bodies are, and thus the more energy we have to enjoy recreation and the pleasure of life.Not everyone is cut out to be a competitive athlete, but there are things that we can do to strengthen our physical well-being. Experts recommend that spending as little as 30 minutes each day on physical activities provides benefits including lower risk of heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes (糖尿病) and other serious diseases. Taking steps to become physically fit does not have to mean acquiring expensive training equipment or a gym membership. Exercise can include simple walking and running, gardening, cleaning the house, swimming, tennis, bicycling (stationary or on the road) and so on. The key is to do it on a regular basis.Healthy lifestyles also require good nutritional habits. When choosing foods, nutritionists advise whole grains, flesh fruits and vegetables, fish, and lean (瘦的) cuts of poultry and meat. The benefits of drinking eight full glasses of water a day are also documented. Water provides the means for nutrients to travel to all our organs, improves skin tone (柔韧), regulates body temperature and contributes to muscle strength and control, which is confirmed by scientists.Fitness results in completing the tasks of daily living, working a full day, and still having energy to participate in recreational activities.

B。写作目的题。根据最后一段“So lets all get out there and do some exercise!”可知，作者的写作目的是号召大家运动起来，因此选B项。42. D。猜测词义题。根据后面的“.which is confirmed by scientists.”可知，每日八杯水的作用已经被科学家证实了，因此选D项。43. B。细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Experts recommend that spending as little as 30 minutes each day on physical activities provides benefits including lower risk of heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes and other serious diseases.”可知，A、C和D三项都是在描述运动的好处，而根据文章第三段最后一句可知B选项说的是水的作用，因此不正确。44. A。推理判断题。从第一段的“We disabled can and should be as active as anyone else.”可以判断作者自己也是个残疾人。45. D。细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Fitness results in completing the tasks of daily living, working a full day, and still having energy to participate in recreational activities.”可知，有了健康的体魄就会有更充足的精力来工作和休闲。4.读写任务阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文；No one tells us how to lead failure experience to growth. We forget that failure is part of life and that every person has the right to fail.Most parents work hard at either preventing failure or protecting their children from it. One way is to lower standards. A mother describes her childs hurriedly-made table as perfect even though it couldnt stand on uneven legs. Another way is to shift blame. If John fails the exam, his teacher is unfair or stupid.The trouble with failure-prevention methods is that they leave a child unequipped for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything; no one can win all the time; its possible to enjoy a game even when you dont win. A child whos not invited to a birthday party or enrolled in the baseball team feels terrible, of course. But parents should not offer a quick comfort prize or say, It doesnt matter because it does. The young should experience disappointment and master it.Failure is never pleasurable. It hurts grown-ups and children exactly alike. But it can make a positive contribution to your life once you learn to use it.写作内容1、以约30个词概括短文的要点：2、然后以约120个词就“中学生应如何看待生活经历中的失败?”这个主题发表你的看法，并包括下面要点：1)中学生应该以积极的态度面对失败。失败是很平常的事，成功的人常把失败当作动力：只有真正的失败者才被失败吓倒。2)以你了解的社会背景知识或你的经历，说明任何成功事例的背后都有无数的失败。写作要求1作文中可使用自己的亲身经历或虚构的故事，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得直接引用原文中的句子；标题自定。2作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。评分标准概括准确，语言规范，内容合适，篇章连贯。写作辅导1. 写作有可能用到的主要短语和单词：对积极的态度have an active attitude towards sth, 无数的失败countless failures，坚持stick to，取得成功achieve the final success, 障碍obstacle，试图做某事attempt to do sth.2本文的概要必须包含以下要点：the reason for peoples fearing failure / some ways on how to deal with failure / our good attitude towards failure。3本文要注意，概要一定要根据文段的时态来写。同时，绝对不能抄袭原文的句子。作文是评论性文字和
