后面的“Iftheeffectbecomesstronger…”可以得到提示。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。词数：138完成时间：8分钟难度：**Everystudentwillbefacedwiththequestionwhenhepassesthecollegeentranceexaminations:Shouldwechooseagoodmajor31agooduniversityfirst?Somestudentsprefer32(consider)majorsfirstsothattheycanlearn33theyareinterestedin.Itwillalsomake34possibleforthemtotaketheirfavoritejobsinthefuture.35,those36thinkdifferentlybelievethattheenvironmentisimportanttoone'sdevelopmentand37graduatesfromleadinguniversitiesareoftenmorelikelytofindagoodjob.38myopinion,thebestchoiceisagoodmajoratagooduniversity.Ifwecannotobtainboth,thefirstthing39(consider)isagoodmajor,becausenomatter40westudy,wecanstillachievealotinacertainfieldifwetryourbest.31.or32.toconsider33.what34.it35.However36.who37.that38.In39.toconsider40.where31.or，表选择关系：32.toconsider，prefertodosth.是固定结构，“更喜欢做……，宁愿做……”33.what，考查由what引导的宾语从句：34.it,此处的it作形式宾语：35.However。表意思的转折，“然而，可是”：36.who，who引导定语从句：37.that，由and连接的两个宾语从句，其中引导第二个宾语从句的that不能省掉。38.In，inone'sopinion是固定搭配，“依照/按照某人的观点”.39.toconsider,thefirstthingtodo表“要做的第一件事”，动词不定式todo作后置定语：40.where，nomatterwherewestudy表“我们无论在哪里学习”：3阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。词数：314完成时间：7分钟难度：***InJune,2007,agroupofstudentsfromeighthighschoolsinWinnipeg,thecapitalofCanada’sManitobaprovince,willbegintest-launching(试发射)asatellitethesizeofaRubik’scube.Theone-kilogramWin-Cubsatellite,namedforitshomecityanditsshape,willbeputintoloworbit.Onceinspace,itcanperformforafewmonthsoruptoseveralyears,communicatinginformationthatcouldhelpfindthesignsofearthquakes.Thereare80similarsatelliteprojectsworldwide,butthisisthefirsthigh-schoolbasedprogramofitskindinCanada.30Manitobahighschoolstudentsarehavingahandindesigningandbuildingthesatellite,incooperationwithaerospace(航空航天的)expertsand10studentsfromtheUniversityofManitoba,andwithsupportfromtwootherorganizations.TheWin-Cubeprojectisnotsomethingthatgoesonapieceofpaper;itisreal-worldengineering,allowinghighschoolstudentstohaveanopportunitytolearnmoreabouttheexcitingworldofengineeringthroughtheirparticipationinthischallengingprogram.ItisalsotakenasawonderfulexampleoftheuniquepartnershipswithinManitoba.Designing,buildingandlaunchingasatellitewithhigh-schoolparticipationwillbringthisworld-classeducationalprojectintorealityandManitobaclosertospace.“TheseManitobahighschoolstudentsdeservecongratulationsfortheirenthusiasm,innovation(创新),andastronglovefordiscovery,”saidEducation,CitizenshipandYouthMinisterPeterBjomson.“Wewanttomakesciencemorerelevant,interestingandattractivetohighschoolstudentsbyshowingthemhowclassroomstudiescanrelatetopracticalexperienceintheworkplaceor,inthiscase,inspace,”Bjomsonadded.TheWin-Cubeprogramismainlynamedatinspiringastrongdesirefordiscoveryonthepartofthestudents.ItalsoshowsManitoba’sdevotiontoresearchandinnovationandthedevelopmentofaskilledworkforce—allimportantdriversofknowledge-basedeconomicgrowth.41.Accordingtothepassage,theWin-CdafterManitobaanditsshapeintendedforinternationalcommunicationdesignedlikeaRubik’scubebothinshapeandsizechallengedbyuniversitystudentsaroundtheworld42.AccordingtoMr.Bjomson,.thoseManitobahighschoolstudentsareworthpraisingthestudyofspacecanbepracticallymadeinclassroomsManitobahighschoolsarefamousforthestudyofspaceD.scientificresearchistoofarawayfromhighschoolstudents43.Theprimarypurposeoftheprojectisto.A.findtheearlysignsofearthquakesB.relatestudiestopracticalC.helphighschoolstudentsstudyreal-worldengineeringD.inspireastrongdesirefordiscoveryamongthestudents44.WhichofthefollowingstatementsisWRONG?A.InCanadathereare80similarsatelliteprogramsinall.B.Thesestudentswillhaveanopportunitytolearnmoreaboutengineeringthroughtheproject.C.Thesehighschoolwillhaveastronglovefordiscoveryandbeinterestedinscience.D.ThisWin-CubeprogramisverysuccessfulinCanada.45.Thebesttitleforthispassagemaybe.A.ManitobaSchoolB.Win-CubeProgramC.SpaceCo-operationD.SatelliteLaunching答案：本文主要讲述了一群来自加拿大Manitoba省的高中学生在专家的帮助下成功发射了一枚叫Rubik’sCube(魔方)的人造卫星，这枚卫星将用来帮助发现早期地震迹象，这样的活动有助于提高学生的能力，激励学生探索的欲望。C细节理解题。答案在第一段。A细节理解题。他们成功发射了魔方这颗卫星，从倒数第二段第一句话可看出答案是A。D推理判断题。写这些事情的目的，在于激励学生探索的欲望。A细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知A项是错误的说法。B主旨大意题。只有Win-Cubeprogram才能全面表达这篇文章的大意。4.读写任务阅读下面一封信，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文：Deareditor,I'mwritingtotellyouaboutafoodpoisoningincident.Severaldaysago,myneighborfamilyateabagoffakefoodfromthemarket.Afterthemeal,theyhadstomachachesandbroughtupwhattheyhadeatenastheirfacesturnedpale.Fortunately,anotherneighborpassedbyonlytofindtheaccidentandimmediatelycalledtheambulance,whichcarriedthemquicklyimmediat
