I wondered if I was crazy. Before this trip, I had had various adventures—but this trip would be different. The South American adventure would be a unique life experience of mine. I had given up many activities in order to appease a new little person, because Anders’ needs had to come first. At the age of 34, it was a difficult change for me, and I was occasionally annoyed when I that my son had stripped(剥夺)so much from me. Argentina is a long way from my home. It seemed even longer when I was on the plane, sharing a seat with such an active boy, but Anders and I made it without angering any other passengers or getting any dirty looks. And we also took naps on a regular schedule. I wanted to do some hikes in the Andes in Argentina. I wanted to drive ten hours to the coast to see penguins. However, when I thought about my travel partner, I gave up these ideas. Instead, we just hung out by lakes, picking up stones and throwing them in the water. I took short hikes through the forests of Alerces, running with Anders in the backpack, knowing that I had two hours before his tolerance(忍耐)gave out and complaining started. As I discovered later, traveling with a baby opens new doors that aren’t there for a traveler. Anders helped me to slow and look at the landscape more closely . I got to see Alercesa through someone else’s eyes. The traveling wasn’t as crazy or as fast-paced as it would have been if I had been alone, but the details were amazing. Now I just have to incorporate(融合)that might into out life back home 51. Why did the writer say that this trip was different? A. Because she had never been to South America before B. Because she didn’t think she was very young any more C. Because she traveled with her little baby D. Because Argentina was far from her home 52. The underlined word “appease” in the second paragraph probably means_______. A. satisfy B. astonish C. confuse D. excite 53. During the trip, the author and her baby_____. A. made the other passengers angry B. made sure they got regular rest C. shared a seat with other people D. had a very pleasant time on the plane 54. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. Activities that the author wanted to do with her baby B. Things the author’s baby liked to do C. Activities the author shared with her baby D. Things the author’s baby could not tolerant 55. The author wrote the passage in order to tell reader that ______. A. it is tiring to travel with a baby B. people should learn to enjoy details in their lives C. visitors should see Argentina through a baby’s eyes D. the details in life are more important than the results. B All North American canids have a doglike appearance. Most are social animals that travel or hunt in groups or pairs. After years of hunting by humans, the populations of most North American canids, especially wolves and foxes, have decreased greatly. The coyote, however, has survived successfully alongside humans, increasing in both numbers and trange. Its common name comes from coyotl, the term used by Mexico’s Nahuatl Indians and its scientific name, canis latrans, means “barking dog”. The coyote’s communicating signals are varied, but the most distinctive are given at dusk, dawn or during the night and consists of a series of barks followed by a long howl(嚎叫)and ending with short, sharp cries. This call keeps the group aware of the locations of its members. One voice usually causes others to join in, resulting in the familiar chorus(合唱)heard at night throughout the West. The best runner among the canids, the coyote is able to leap fourteen feet and run normally at 25-30miles per hour. It is a strong swimmer and doesn’t hesitate to enter water after prey(猎 物). In feeding, the coyote is an opportunist, eating rabbits, mice, ground squirrels, birds, snakes, insects and many kinds of fruit—whatever is available. To catch larger prey, the coyote may team up with one or two others, running in relays to tire prey or waiting in the bush while others chase prey toward it. Often a badger serves unknowingly as a supplier or smaller prey: while it digs for small prey such as mice at one end of their hole, the coyote waits for any that may appear at the other end. Enemies of the coyote once included the black bear, the mountain lion and the wolf but their decreasing populations make them no longer a threat. Man is the major enemy, especially since coyote skins have become increasingly valuable, yet the coyote population continues to grow despite efforts at trapping, shooting and poisoning the animals. 56. In what way is coyote different from other North American canids according to the passage? A. The coyote is a social animal B. The coyote doesn’t know how to swim C. The coyote population has not decreased D. The coyote is not hunted by humans 57. The coyote is an opportunist because it______. A. knows how to avoid being caught B. likes to team up with other coyotes C. has better luck than other canids D. takes advantage of its natural circumstances 58. Which animal sometimes unconsciously helps the coyote catch food? A. Wolf B. Fox C. Mice D. Badger 59. The most serious threat that the coyote is faced with is______. A. food shortage B. human hunting C. the mountain lion D. the wolf 60. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. The Canids B. The Coyote C. Endangered animals D. Stop Killing C The Diet Zone: A Dangerous Place Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word "diet" everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically . Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale ( 秤 ) instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word "diet" in food labels. On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don't have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle. The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients ( 营 养 成 分 ). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calories only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous. Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them. 61. From Paragraph 1, we learn that _____. A. diet products fail to bring out people's potential B. people have difficulty in choosing diet products C. diet products are misleading people D. people are bored with diet products 62. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _____. A. try out a variety of diet foods B. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods C. pay attention to their own eating habits D. watch their weight rather than their diet 63. In Paragraph 3, "gain comes without pain" probably means _____. A. losing weight is effortless B. it costs a lot to lose weight C. diet products bring no pain D. diet products are free from calories 64. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products _____. A. are over-consumed B. lack basic nutrients C. are short of chemicals D. provide too much energy 65. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: Conclusion D Even plant can run a fever, especially when they’re under attack by insects or disease. But unlike humans, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away---straight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared （红外线）scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide （杀虫剂）spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that don’t have pest （害虫）problems. 　　Even better, Paley’s Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3, 000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted (发出)by crops. The data were transformed into a color - coded map showing where plants were running“ fevers”. Farmers could then spot - spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would. The bad news is that Paley’s company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long - term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. “This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States, ” says George Oerther of Texas A & M. Ray Jackson , who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago. 66. Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are________. 　　A. sprayed with pesticides B. facing an infrared scanner 　　C. in poor physical condition D. exposed to more than enough sun rays 67. In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to________. 　　A. estimate the damage to the crops B. measure the size of the affected area 　　C. draw a color -coded map D. determine the problem area 68. Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide ________. 　　A. by using spot – spraying B. if they ask advice from infrared scanning experts 　　C. by transforming poisoned rain D. if they know crop problems at an early stage owing to the technology 69. The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties in________., 　　A. the lack of official support B. its high cost 　　C. the lack of financial support D. its failure to help increase production 70. Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of________. 　　A. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produce 　　B. growing concern about the much use of pesticides on crops 　　C. the forceful promotion by the Department of Agriculture 　　D. full support from agricultural experts 阅读表达（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） A comedy church skit can be used in church worship services. Here are some skit writing methods to create funny characters and humorous church skit. Form characters around your actors The actors in your church skit are mostly non-professional. So instead of making each of them adapt to a part in your skit, adapt the skit to them. If in real life, they are thoughtful and clever, make the skit characters thoughtful and clever. If they have some special talents, you can add them into the skit. By forming the characters of your play around the personalities and talents of your actors it is easier for them to play naturally. Make use of common language A three-to-five-minute skit doesn’t allow enough time for much character development. So, using common language makes it easy for your church audience to understand the characters. Create contrast with familiar people If you put a person into a character that is the opposite of who they are in real life, even those with the least acting ability will have your church audience laughing. Is there a strict person who always wears a suit to church? Put him in a long wig(假发)and colorful clothes. By using familiar people with know talents and putting them into a role that is completely different from who they are in real life, you can create humor for any skit. 71. What doers the underlined word “skit” refer to?(no more than 2 words) 72. What is a comedy church skit for? (no more than 10 words) 73. Why should we form characters around the actors? (no more than 15 words) 74. What is the purpose of creating contrast with familiar people? (no more than 10 words) 75. What do you think is the most important part in writing a church skit? Why?
