In the Sonoran Desert, one climbs into a pine forest at 7,000 feet and a treeless tundra(冻土带) on the top of the mountain. It may seem that plants at a given altitude are associated in what can be called “communities” －groupings of species. The idea is that over time, plants that require particular climate and soil conditions come to live in the same places, and are frequently to be found together. Scientists study the history of plant life and build up a picture of how groups of plants have responded to climate changes and how ecosystems develop. But are these associations, which are real in the present, permanent?‎ A great natural experiment took place on this planet between 25,000 and 10,000 years ago, when small changes in the earth’s orbit caused great sheets of ice to spread from poles. These glaciers(冰川) covered much of North America and Europe to depths of up to two miles, and then, as the climate warmed, they retreated. During this retreat, they left behind newly uncovered land for living things to occupy, and as those living things moved in they laid down a record we can read now. As the ice retreated and plants started to grow near a lake, they release pollen(花粉). Some would fall into the lake, sink to the bottom and mix with the sand. By drilling into the lake bottom it is possible to read the record of the plant life around the lake. The fossil record seems clear; there is little or no evidence that entire groups of plants moved north together. Things that lived together in the past don’t live together now, and things that live together now didn’t live together in the past. Each individual living things moved at its own pace. The fossil record seems to be telling us that we should be thinking about preserving species by giving them room to move about－to respond to environmental changes.‎ ‎59. According to the passage, the movement of individual species of plants ________.‎ A. occurs in groups B. often depends upon the formation of lakes C. does not occur in groups D. depends upon climate and soil conditions ‎60. All of the following are true EXCEPT ________.‎ A.

My parents were thrilled. They prayed that I'd come back triumphantly with a picture－perfect bridegroom. That was the furthest thing from my mind as I packed my faded jeans, tank tops, boots, and a photo of my freckle－faced then－boyfriend who was of Scottish descent.‎ The moment I landed in Seoul, I was aware of how much I felt like a misfit. All my life I had tried to blend into the dominant culture and couldn't. And finally, when I was in a place where everyone looked like me, I still stood out. I took it for granted that I'd feel a sense of freedom. I thought I'd blend into the landscape. This was not the case. People stared at me with curious eyes. I became conscious of my American－girl swaggering body movements and inappropriate dress.‎ Collecting my courage, I traveled to the demilitarized zone on my own. I touched the high barbed－wire fence that stretched across the belly of the peninsula(半岛), dividing Korea in half. I visited thousand－year－old temples and magnificent palace gates that had survived modernization and centuries of battle. I met with distant cousins who welcomed me with outstretched arms into their homes and related heroic tales about my mother and Halmoni (Grandmother) during the war. How Halmoni had led her young children out of north to the United Nation－backed south. How my mother, at the age of thirteen, saved the life of her baby sister.‎ I listened with such an overwhelming thirst that when I returned to the States a year and a half later, I began to ask my parents and Halmoni (who had immigrated to the States some time after we did) all about the past. The past was no longer a time gone by, a dead weight. I now saw that it held ancient treasures. And the more I dug and discovered, the more I felt myself being steered toward a future I had never imagined for myself. I began to write. I didn't even know I could write. My family helped me knit stories into a book using Halmoni's voice. As her powerful words moved through me I was able to reflect and meditate on the ridiculous life I had fashioned for myself. I could feel my sense of self rising. This sparked a newfound awareness and excitement. I became a spokeswoman on Korean culture, traveling to various college campuses across the country. “Be proud. Embrace your heritage.” I said to young Korean American students wearing extra－large, trendy sportswear. But the whole time I was lecturing, I had very little understanding of what that self－concept meant. I was merely talking the talk. I hadn't yet fully embraced my own identity.‎ ‎66. Why did the author leave America for her birthplace?‎ A. Because she broke up with her boyfriend and wanted to be alone.‎ B. Because she decided to be separated from her parents for a while.‎ C. Because she was forced by her parents to get married in Korea.‎ D. Because she longed for the travel in her birthplace on her own.‎ ‎67. According to the passage, the author suggests that her original expectations about visiting Korea ‎ were ________．‎ A. unrealistic and naive B. misguided and dangerous C. ambitious and ridiculous D. sensible and practical ‎68.

Sleep is a natural part of human life, but many people in the modern world ignore its importance. As a result, sleep problems are increasingly common. In 2002, ‎ scientists at the University of Athens in Greece conducted a survey of over 35,000 people in 10 countries around the world, including China, Belgium and South Africa. Of the people that responded to the survey, 24 percent said that they did not sleep well, and based on their responses, 31.6 percent were diagnosed with insomnia(失眠) and another 17.5 percent were diagnosed with borderline(边界线) insomnia. In addition, 30.7 percent of survey respondents reported visiting a doctor for help with sleep problems and 11.6 percent said that they felt very sleepy during the day. ‎ Overall, the survey found that many people suffer the effects of poor quality sleep, some examples of which are being unable to fall asleep and waking up in the middle of the night. The main factors causing these problems are pressure from school or work and a fast pace of life, but noise pollution and light pollution also interfere with sleep and contribute to poor quality sleep. The survey’s findings are particularly troubling because large numbers of people were found to have difficulty sleeping at night. The short-term effects of this are tiredness and trouble concentrating. If this happens for a long time, the risk of gaining weight and having a heart attack may increase. ‎ There are many things you can do to improve the quality of your sleep. First, you should have regular sleep habits. Try to go to bed and wake up around the same time each day. You also need to make your bedroom a cool, dark, quiet place to sleep so that heat, light and noise do not disturb you. At night, you should also avoid things that contain caffeine, such as chocolate, coffee, tea and many soft drinks, as caffeine may keep you from sleeping. ‎ Getting a good night’s sleep is important for everyone. By following the advice above, you can rest better at night and work better during the day.【来.源：全,品…中&高*考*网】‎ Topic Context World Sleep Day Due to ignorance of sleep problems, people observed Mar. 21, World Sleep Day, (73) ▲______attention to the importance of sleep.‎ Responses of the survey ‎◆Of 3, 5000 people in 10 countries in the world, there were 24 percent of the people saying they didn’t sleep well.‎ ‎◆31.6 percent were diagnosed with insomnia and another 17.5 percent were on the (74) ▲ of sleeplessness. ‎ ‎◆The (75) ▲ of the people feeling sleepy during the day is 11.6.‎ ‎◆30.7 percent reported (76) ▲ to a doctor for sleep problems. ‎ Factors (71) ▲ sleep problems and their consequences ‎◆Under(77) ▲ from school or work, people may have sleep problems.‎ ‎◆A fast pace of life causes sleep problem as well.‎ ‎◆Poor quality sleeps also (78) ▲ from noise or light pollution.‎ ‎◆There is much 79) ▲ that sleepless people easily gain weight and have a heart attack.‎ ‎◆Feeling tired and sleepy, people find it hard to concentrate.‎ ‎(72) ▲ to take to improve sleep quality ‎◆Have regular sleep habits ‎◆Make your bedroom cool, dark and quiet ‎◆Avoid things (80) ▲ caffeine ‎【答案】‎ ‎71.causing ‎72.Measures/Steps ‎73.bringing ‎74.edge ‎75.percentage ‎76.turning ‎77.pressure/stress ‎78.arise/result ‎79.possibility/chance/likelihood/probability ‎80.containing/with ‎【解析】【来.源：全,品…中&高*考*网】‎ 试题分析：本文主要通过显现的睡眠问题并分析引发睡眠问题的原因，最终提出改善睡眠质量的方法。‎ ‎71.causing 原词再现题 依据文章第二段中的“The main factors causing these problem可知答案。‎ ‎72.Measures/Steps 总结归纳题 依据文章第三段中的“There are many things you can do to ‎ improve the quality of your sleep.”，从而构成短语“take steps/measures to do…”。‎ ‎73.bringing 信息转化题 依据文章第一段中的“…to bring attention to the..”,空格处在表格句子中做伴随状语故使用bringing一词。1‎ 案。‎ ‎78.arise/result 信息转化题 依据文章第二段中的“but noise pollution and light pollution also interfere with sleep and contribute to poor quality sleep.”可知此处需要使用短语“arise/result from”表示“因为，由于”之意。‎ ‎79.possibility/chance/likelihood/probability 信息转化题 依据文章第二段中的“If this happens for a long time, the risk of gaining weight and having a heart attack may increase. ”可知使用句式“there is a high possibility/chance/likelihood/probability that…”即可。‎ ‎80.containing/with 信息转化题 依据文章第三段中的“things that contain caffeine”可知答案。‎ 考点：考查任务型阅读 ‎【学法指导】任务型阅读重在依据文章和表格的要求对文中语段，语句乃至短语或单词的理解与转换，最终以一个单词的适当形式出现。此项任务对学生的词汇要求很高，当然更需要注重对文中语句的转化，有较强的语言运用和概括能力。平时的练习中需要注重对任务型的出题技巧加以研究，注重近义词反义词的积累，加强词块的构建。‎ 第五部分：根据相应提示填词（共10题，每题0.5分，满分5分）‎ ‎81.
