Regrettably，mosquitoes can do more than cause an itchy(发痒的）wound. Some mosquitoes spread several serious diseases，including Dengue，yellow fever and  malaria. Over one million people worldwide die from these diseases each year. New research now   shows how mosquitoes choose who to bite. Mosquitoes need blood to survive. They are attracted to human skin and breath. They smell the carbon dioxide gas，which all mammals breathe out. This gas is the main way for mosquitoes to know that a warm-blooded creature is nearby. But mosquitoes also use their eyes and sense of touch. Michael Dickinson is a professor at the California Institute of Technology. His research shows how these small insects，with even smaller brains，use three senses to find a blood meal. Michael Dickinson’s team used plumes—a material that rises into the air of carbon dioxide gas into a wind tunnel. They then used cameras to record the mosquitoes. The insects followed the plume. Then，the scientists placed dark objects on the lighter  colored floor and walls of the  tunnel. Mr. Dickinson said，at first，the mosquitoes showed no interest in the objects at all. “What was quite striking and quite surprising is that the mosquitoes fly back and forth for hours. These are hungry females and they completely ignore the objects on the floor and wall of the tunnel. But the moment they get a hit of CO2，they change their behavior quite obviously and now would become attracted to these little visual blobs (斑点）.” This suggested to the researchers that a mosquito’s sense of smell is more important in the search for food. Once mosquitoes catch a smell of a human  or animal，they also follow  visual signals. 24.What do mosquitoes mainly use to find their targets? ‎ A．Sense of smell. B．Sense of touch. C．Sense of sight. D．Smart brains.‎ ‎25.The first response of the mosquitoes to the objects in the experiment is     . ‎ A．to fly to the dark ones B．to catch and stick to them C．to take no notice of them D．to attach themselves to them ‎26.How can we avoid being attacked by mosquitoes according to the text ? ‎ A．Don’t let them see us. B．Use dark objects to stop them.‎ C．Make them fly back and forth for hours. D．Attract them to objects full of carbon dioxide gas.‎ ‎27..What can be the best title for the text? ‎ A．How Do Mosquitoes Survive? B．Why Do Mosquitoes Need Blood?‎ C．How Do Mosquitoes Choose to Bite You? D．Why Do Mosquitoes Attack the Human Being?‎ C One day a lawyer’s wife fell ill, and he went to get a doctor．The doctor willingly came to see the woman and to do what he could for her, but before he went into the house, he made a short stop．He knew that the lawyer was famous for not paying his bills, even if they were due(正当的)．He therefore said to the man．“But if I save your wife, I am afraid you may not pay me．”“Sir,”replied the lawyer．“Here I have＄500,,whether you cure my wife or you kill her．I'll give you all this．” The doctor was reassured and went into the house．When he reached the woman's bedside, it soon became clear to him that he could do little．She was seriously ill, and though he prescribed(开药方) her medicine, she soon died． He told the lawyer he was very sorry, and then asked for the money which he had promised． “Did you kill my wife?”asked the lawyer．“Of course I didn't,” said the doctor．“Well! Did you cure my wife?” asked the man．“I'm afraid that was impossible,” replied the doctor．“Well, then since you neither killed my wife nor cured her, I have nothing to pay you．” 28.Before entering the lawyer’s house the doctor stopped for a while, because_____ ． ‎ A．the doctor wanted to ask something about his wife's illness B．the doctor thought it impossible to save the woman C．the doctor was afraid that the lawyer would refuse to pay him D．the lawyer was too poor to pay his bills ‎29.Because the lawyer’s wife was seriously ill, the doctor_____ ． ‎ A．couldn’ t do much and didn't save her life B．tried his best and saved her at last C．had to do everything he could for her D．had to spend a lot of time to cure her ‎30.The word “reassured” in the passage means __________． ‎ A．he was told again and again B．he was paid some money first C．he was quite sure that he would be paid D．he was quite sure that he could cure the woman ‎31.Which of the following is the best title (标题)for the passage? ‎ A．The Lawyer and His Wife B. The Lawyer's Trick C．A Good Doctor and a Poor Lawyer D .A Serious Illness D Sleep deprivation(缺失)is an important hidden factor in lowering the achievement of school pupils, according to researchers carrying out international education tests. It is a particular problem in richer countries with sleep experts linking it to the use of mobile phones and computers in bedroom late at night. Sleep deprivation is such a serious problem that lessons have to be dragged down to a lower level to suit sleep-deprived learners, the study found. The international comparison, carried out by Boston College, found the United States to have the highest number of sleep-deprived students, with 73% of 9- and 10-year-olds and 80% of 13- and 14-year-olds identified by their teachers as being negatively affected. In literacy(读写能力) tests there were 76% of 9- and 10-year-olds lacking sleep. This was much higher than the international average of 47% of primary pupils needing more sleep and 57% among the secondary age group. Other countries with the most sleep-deprived youngsters were New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Australia, England, Ireland and France. High-performing Finland is also among the most lacking in sleep. Countries with the best records for getting enough sleep include Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Japan and Malta. The analysis was part of the huge date-gathering process for global education rankings, the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study(TIMSS)and Progress in International Reading Literacy Study(PIRLS) “I think we underestimate the impact of sleep. Our data show that across countries internationally, on average, children who have more sleep achieve higher in maths, science and reading. That is exactly what our data show,” says Chad Minnich of the TIMSS and ‎ PIRLS‎ International Study ‎Center‎. “It’s the same link for children who are lacking basic nutrition,” says Mr Minnich, based at the Lynch School of Education, Boston‎ ‎College. “If you are unable to concentrate, to attend mentally, you are unable to achieve at your best level, because your mind and body are in need of something more basic. Sleep is a fundamental need for all children. If teachers report such large proportions of children suffering from lack of sleep, it’s having a significant impact. But worse than that, teachers are having to adjust their instruction based on those children who are suffering from a lack of sleep. The children who are suffering from a lack of sleep are driving down instruction.” That means that even the children who are getting enough sleep are still suffering from this sleep-related lowering. 32. What did the researchers of Boston‎ ‎College try to find? ‎ A．Why children don’t get enough sleep B．How many hours children sleep every night C．The relationship between sleep and test results D．The relationship between sleep and health ‎33.Many children suffer from sleep deprivation because _________. ‎ A．they sit in front of the TV for too long B．they can hardly sleep soundly and deeply C．their homework occupies too much of their time D．modern technological devices consume a lot of their time ‎34.Which of the following countries has the most sleep-deprived students? ‎ A．Japan B．Malta C．Finland D．Portugal ‎35.Why are children who get enough sleep also victims? ‎ A．Because they are disturbed by sleep-deprived students B．Because teaching is driven down by sleep-deprived students C．Because they have to spend time helping sleep-deprived students D．Because the teachers waste time disciplining sleep-deprived students 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。 ‎ Before going outside in the morning, many of us check a window thermometer(温度计)for the temperature. This helps us decide what to wear. _____36____. We want our food to be a certain coldness ‎ in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we don’t feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.‎ Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale.‎ Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide._____37____ .‎ The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury(水银)inside a clear glass tube. As mercury (or any other liquid ) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts(收缩). That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube._____38_____.‎ First. Take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap ; fill the bottle with coloured water. Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap on the jar. Then stick a plastic straw(吸管) through the nail hole.‎ ‎_____39______.‎ Finally. Place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw. Now you can see the water lever easily.‎ ‎______40____.‎ As the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the lever in the straw will come down. Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water lever in the straw each morning for a week.‎ ‎       A．We use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other things in our daily lives.‎ ‎       B．Thermometers measure temperature, by using materials that change in the same way when they are heated or cooled.‎ ‎       C．Now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work.‎ ‎       D．The water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up, the water will expand and rise even higher.‎ ‎       E．They label these in different ways. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100degrees.‎ ‎       F．Take wax (you may use an old candle if you have one) and melt some of it right where the straw is struck into the cap to seal把..粘住) them together.‎ ‎  G．People use thermometers which are made by themselves when travelling around the world.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节：完形填空（每题1.5分，共30分）‎ A girl complained to her father about her hard life.
