Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru’s heartbreaking story could have one good consequence — other countries might learn from its mistakes. For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island. However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900. Nauru’s real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate(磷酸 盐)on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate. A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon. In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate. Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem — their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen. 36. What might be the author's purpose in writing the text? A. To seek help for Nauru's problems. B. To give a warning to other countries. C. To show the importance of money. D. To tell a heartbreaking story of a war. 37. What was Nauru like before the Europeans came? A. Rich and powerful. B. Modern and open. C. Peaceful and attractive. D. Greedy and aggressive. 38. The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from _______. A. soil pollution B. phosphate overmining C. farming activity D. whale hunting 39. Which of the following was a cause of Nauru's financial problem? A. Its leaders misused the money. B. It spent too much repairing the island. C. Its phosphate mining cost much money. D. It lost millions of dollars in the civil war. 40. What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph? A. The ecological damage is difficult to repair. B. The leaders will take the experts'words seriously. C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans. D. The phosphate mines were destroyed. 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. B 39. A 40. A 【解析】 文章是一篇说明文。主要讲述了太平洋岛国瑙鲁如何从一个环境优美的天堂岛变成一个生态 失衡、满目疮痍的小岛。 【36 题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段的 Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru's heartbreaking story could have one good consequence—other countries might learn from its mistakes.(现在它是一个 生态灾区。瑙鲁令人心碎的故事可能会有一个好的后果——其他国家可能会从它的错误中吸取 教训。)可以看出，作者的目的是给当前很多只注重发展经济而忽略环境保护的国家一个警告。 故选 B。 【37 题详解】 推理判断题。从第一段提到的“太平洋上的国家瑙鲁岛曾经是一个美丽的地方”看出，瑙鲁岛 attractive；由第二段第一句以及第三段第一句可知，上千年来，瑙鲁岛的人们生活在偏远的小 岛上，过着平静的生活。故选 C。 【38 题详解】 细 节 理 解 题 。 由 最 后 一 段 的 Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem － their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing.可 以看出“磷酸盐逐渐减少，开采殆尽”。由此可以看出，“磷酸盐的过量开采”导致了生态灾难。 故选 B。 【39 题详解】 细节理解题。由最后一段的“Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. ”看出，是领 导人不正确使用资金导致了财政问题。故选 A。 【40 题详解】 推理判断题。文章最后告诉我们 Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island，也就是说：瑙鲁岛上的生态损失弥补起来需要大量的资 金和时间，即选项所说的“修复起来很难”。故选 A。 B George Gershwin, born in 1898, was one of America's greatest composers. He published his first song when he was eighteen years old. During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs. Many of Gershwin's songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way — from jazz to country. In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. The audience were thrilled when they heard his music. It made him world­famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular. In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study composition (作曲)with the well­known musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz­influenced style. While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris. When it was first performed, critics (评论家)were divided over the music. Some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. It still remains one of his most famous works. George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. He was only thirty­nine years old. Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages. People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written. 41. Many of Gershwin's musical works were ________． A. written about New Yorkers B. composed for Paul Whiteman C. performed in various ways D. played mainly in the countryside 42. What do we know about the concert organized by Whiteman? A. It proved jazz could be serious music. B. It attracted more people to theatres. C. It made Gershwin leader of the orchestra. D. It caused a debate among jazz musicians. 43. What did Gershwin do during his stay in Paris? A. He studied with Nadia Boulanger. B. He created one of his best works. C. He argued with French critics. D. He changed his music style. 44. What do we learn from the last paragraph? A. The death of Gershwin was widely reported. B. Many of Gershwin's works were lost. C.

Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, "In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence". Given that this is the case, why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit? 在 First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱). For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn't in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict. Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决) stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words, name-calling, and accusation only add fuel to the emotional fir On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control. After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy for conflict resolution; listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker’s position. Then the two people should change roles. Finally, students need f. consider what they are hearing. This doesn’t mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid off As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn't, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution. There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn’t mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, “64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves”. Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country. 46. This article is mainly about _______. A. the lives of school children B. the cause of arguments in schools C. how to analyze youth violence D. how to deal with school conflicts 47. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that ________.

Indeed, a rosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere. And every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the ‘last paradise(天堂) on earth’． However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of sea-side holidays, over-crowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal. Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. In recent years, Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education. Its forests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise. In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday-makers traveling through the forest land. Ancient tracks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation of precious trees and plants. Not only can the environment of a country suffer from the sudden growth of tourism. The people as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports; the old way of life goes. The one-time farmer is now the servant of some multi-national organization; he is no longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited. No doubt he wonders whether he wasn't happier in his village working his own land. Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers. The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support from tourist companies. At the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people. The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. Their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies. Increased understanding in planning world-wide tourism can preserve the market for these companies. If not, in a few years' time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed. 51. What does the author indicate in the last sentence of Paragraph 1? A. The Pacific island is a paradise. B. The Pacific island is worth visiting. C. The advertisement is not convincing. D. The advertisement is not impressive. 52. The example of Nepal is used to suggest ________. A. its natural resources are untouched B. its forests are exploited for farmland C. it develops well in health and education D. it suffers from the heavy flow of tourists 53. What can we learn about the farmers from Paragraph 4? A. They are happy to work their own lands. B. They have to please the tourists for a living. C. They have to struggle for their independence. D. They are proud of working in multi-national organizations. 54. Which of the following determines the future of tourism? A. The number of tourists. B. The improvement of services. C. The promotion of new products. D. The management of tourism. 55. The author's attitude towards the development of the tourist industry is ________. A. optimistic B. doubtful C. objective D. negative 【答案】51. C 52. D 53. B 54. D 55. C 【解析】 本文为说明文。文章主要介绍了旅游业的发展对当地人们的生活以及环境等方面的影响。 【51 题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段中的最后一句 And every month another rock--bound Pacific island is advertised as the 'last paradise(天堂)on earth'.可知，每个月广告上不停地更换所谓的太平洋上 某个岛是“地球上最后的天堂”，由此可推出这些广告是不可信的，故选 C 项。 【52 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的 In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday-makers traveling through the forest land.(事实上，大自然很快就感受到了成千上万的度 假者穿越森林的影响)可知，尼泊尔为了发展旅游业，对外开放了森林，然而大自然很快就受 到了旅游业带来的负面影响。所以用尼泊尔的例子说明这个国家正经受着旅游业带来的痛苦。 故选 D 项。 【53 题详解】 推 理 判 断 题 。 由 第 四 段 中 的 后 几 句 “The one -time farmer is now the servant of some multi--national organization；he is no longer his own master.Once it was his back that bore the pain；now it is his smile that is exploited.”可知，从前的农夫现在是一个多民族组织的仆人，他 不再是他自己的主人了。从前是他背痛，现在是他的微笑被利用了。由此推断他们不得不通 过取悦游客来谋生。故选 B 项。 【54 题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的"The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit.(未来十年旅游业的经营方式将决定其命运，也 将决定我们都想去的国家的命运)"可知，未来十年，如何管理旅游业将决定旅游业和我们要去 参观的国家的命运，所以旅游业的管理方式将决定旅游业未来的命运。故选 D 项。 【55 题详解】 推理判断题。综观全文可知，作者既讲了旅游产业的负面影响，也讲了旅游业的发展优势， 所以，作者对旅游产业的发展持客观的（objective）态度。故选 C 项。 第Ⅱ卷 第一节 阅读表达 Why play sports?
