Each passage is followed by some questions or unfi

14、nished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 15 The top of the world is a wonderland. In winter, the temperature often falls to -30 F

15、and the sun never rises. The ocean is surrounded by frozen ground. There are few people or trees, but to polar bears, the Arctic (北极 ) is home. Polar bears have thick fur, big paws and other features that make them well prepared for life in their tough environment. In fact, they need the Arctic sea

16、ice for survival. But climate change is causing larger and larger areas of summer sea ice to melt (融化 ). Experts say that if warming patterns continue, the Arctic could be free of summer sea ice by 2050. That may cause two-thirds of the worlds 20, 000 polar bears to be gone by then too. Polar bears

17、cant survive for long on land. Seals are their main source of food. The only place where polar bears can hunt seals is on the ice. Although these bears are strong swimmers, they are no match for lightning swift seals in the water. A polar bear has brilliantly clever strategies to overcome this disad

18、vantage. In winter the bear waits motionless beside a seals breathing hole, which is a narrow tunnel through the ice. Often many hours pass before the seal comes up for air and the bear kills it with a powerful blow of its paw. In summer, the polar bears that live on land eat very little and wait fo

19、r the sea ice to return. With the sea ice forming later in the year and melting earlier, polar bears do not have enough opportunity to hunt and eat. Less sea ice makes it harder for the bears to catch the seals. The bears must swim longer distances between ice packs (大片浮冰 ) , and they cant always ma

20、ke it. The ice is also getting thinner. These conditions can cause polar-bear cubs to become separated from their mothers, who provide them with food. Steven Amstrup is the chief scientist of Polar Bears International. The group aims to save the bears and their home. “The more people who see polar b

21、ears and understand their difficult situation, the better the chance well alter our warming path in time to save them, “ he says. 16 Which is the best tide for the passage? （ A） Climate change in the Arctic. （ B） How to protect the Environment. （ C） The Arctic Is Home to Polar Bears. （ D） Polar Bear

22、s in Danger. 17 Where do polar bears usually hunt seals? （ A） On land. （ B） In open water. （ C） In openings in the sea ice. （ D） At the bottom of the sea. 18 The word “cubs“ in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to_. （ A） adults （ B） babies （ C） hunters （ D） enemies 19 According to the passa

23、ge, which of the following statements is TRUE? （ A） Starving polar bears are increasingly coming into villages, where they may be killed either for food or safety. （ B） Polar bears can spend their entire lives on land if the sea ice melts completely. （ C） Two-thirds of the worlds polar bears may dis

24、appear by 2050 as global warming continues. （ D） The growing distance between ice packs is not a problem for polar bears, because they are excellent swimmers. 20 Whats the mission of Polar Bears International? （ A） Saving energy. （ B） Conducting scientific research. （ C） Seeking international cooper

25、ation. （ D） Saving polar bears and their home. 20 Imagine a school that expected its students to become literate (有读写能力的 ) without any formal instruction. Most parents would be alarmed by such an approach, which would leave their children confused and with gaps in their understanding. This however h

26、as been the philosophy on character development in many of our schools. Why is the development of character seen as somehow different from the other skills that we teach? Of course there will always be learning by osmosis (耳濡目染 ) in any school, but as a teacher and primary school head I have found t

27、hat a childs moral literacy is strengthened when they acquire the building blocks of good character such as consideration, courage and honor: qualities which are commonly known as virtue (美德 ). I personally find that exploring a virtue over a two-week period provides a simple and effective program t

28、hat allows for the creative input of both teacher and student and a chance for the virtue to embed (使融入 ) itself. Once a lesson on a virtue such as honesty has been completed, we need to allow time for children to practice this concept just as would be the case with fractions or verbs. Allowing chil

29、dren to role play a situation such as making up excuses to cover a mistake can be enormously interesting, and the drama can be frozen allowing the characters to be questioned about their feelings and motives. Its also a safe way for children to experience for themselves how a lie usually goes out of

30、 control. Our role as educators is also to look for opportunities to help our students as they attempt to strengthen their characters. When something goes wrong we: guide the young person to the virtue that will prevent it from happening again. For instance, when a student thoughtlessly disturbs the

31、 calm atmosphere of the library, instead of a response such as, “ that was really disrespectful and selfish of you!“ we draw out from them the required virtue: “When youre walking through the library, what virtues do you need to use?“ 21 Which of the following is the main idea of this passage? （ A）

32、Teaching morals and values has been a frequently discussed topic in the past few years. （ B） The author and his staff embed virtues into lessons and school life to encourage character development in children. （ C） Kids throughout the population face the same needs, the same challenges, and the same

33、realities in their lives. （ D） Role plays are an excellent way of getting students to practice their English. 22 We can infer from the first paragraph that_. （ A） there tends to be disagreement about what character education is （ B） most parents are not satisfied with the teaching methods adopted in

34、 schools （ C） the approach to character education is generally considered different from the approaches to other skills （ D） more and more schools are adopting strategies to improve school attendance 23 The word “philosophy“ in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to_. （ A） study （ B） subject （

35、 C） viewpoint （ D） investigation 24 The author is a_. （ A） teacher （ B） librarian （ C） reporter （ D） manager 25 Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a way to build character in children? （ A） Story readings and discussions. （ B） Osmosis. （ C） Taking every opportunity to teach ch

36、aracter. （ D） Role play. 25 When the United States Congress created Yellowstone National Park in 1872, the goal was to set aside a place where Americans could enjoy the beauty of nature for years to come. Now, 142 years later, there are hundreds of national parks across the country, and technology i

37、s changing the way people experience them. Should park visitors be able to use cell phones, or should their use be restricted? “Connectivity presents a real challenge to all of us. “ Al Nash says. He is a public affairs officer at Yellowstone National Park. He says cell phone service at Yellowstone

38、is available in parts of the park with stores and campgrounds. This makes it easy for visitors to share photos of their trip on social networking sites and to stay in touch with friends and family members. If a park visitor is hurt or in danger, cell phones make it easier to get help. Some say the a

39、bility to download applications that provide information about plants and animals in the park can enrich a visitors experience. Others say cell phones disturb peoples enjoyment of our national parks. In their view, cell phone towers are an eyesore, and theyd rather hear the sound of birds than the r

40、ing of an incoming call. Can you imagine looking out a peaceful lake or field of grass only to be disturbed by a person shouting into their phone, “Can you hear me now?“ Nash says Yellowstone tries to strike a balance. “Ultimately, our job is to let visitors understand and enjoy nature better while

41、protecting what people find special about Yellowstone, and one of those things thats special is the ability to get away from the hustle and bustle (喧嚣 ) of ones daily life. “ 26 Which of the following is the best tide for the passage? （ A） Which U.

A new study published in The Annals of Internal Medicine (a medical journal) finds that inadequate shut-eye has a harmful effect on fat cel

46、ls, reducing their ability to respond to insulin (胰岛素 ) by about 30 percent. Over the long-term, this decreased response eould set the stage for type-2 diabetes (a medical condition in which someone has too much sugar in his or her blood) , fatty liver disease and weight gain. The study adds to a gr

47、owing body of evidence that theres “an intimate relationship between the amountof sleep we get and our ability to maintain a good, healthy body weight, “ says sleep expert Helene Emsellem, director of the Center for Sleep and Wake Disorders in Chevy Chase, Maryland. But Americans dont seem to be get

48、ting the message that we need seven to nine hours per night. More than 1 in 5 of us, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is getting six or fewer hours of sleep per night, on average. So how did researchers study fat cells in the Annals paper? Matthew Brady of t

49、he University of Chicago and a group of colleagues selected and persuaded seven volunteers to take part in the research project. They were all young, thin and healthy and agreed to sleep for eight nights in a sleep lab. “For four nights they were allowed to stay in bed for 8. 5 hours a night, “ says Brady. Then, a month later, they came back for four additional nightsbut this time they were allowed just 4.5 hours of
