I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said:” Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today ― and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”‎ ‎ A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.‎ ‎ Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.‎ ‎ Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, “But I’m just not creative.”‎ ‎ “Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”‎ ‎“Oh, sure.”‎ ‎ “So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?”‎ ‎“Nobody. I do it.”‎ ‎“Really―at night, when you’re asleep?”‎ ‎ “Sure.”‎ ‎ “Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”‎ ‎4. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________?‎ A. know more about the students B. make the lessons more exciting C. raise the students’ interest in art D. teach the students about toy design ‎5. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?‎ A. He liked to help his teacher. B. He preferred to study alone.‎ C. He was active in class. D. He was imaginative.‎ ‎6. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?‎ A. Mistake. B. Drawback. C. Difficulty. D. Burden.‎ ‎7. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams? ‎ A. To help them to see their creativity. ‎ B. To find out about their sleeping habits.‎ C. To help them to improve their memory. ‎ D. To find out about their ways of thinking.‎ ‎ C The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet (彗星) is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of the Earth. ‎ ‎ On 17 July, a piece four kilometers wide enters the Earth's atmosphere with a massive explosion. About half of the piece is destroyed, but the remaining part hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the sea bed. Huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole. The wall of water, a kilometer high, rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned.‎ Before the waves reach South America, the second piece of the comet lands in Argentina.‎ ‎ Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains. The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean. The cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes. Millions of people in the southern half of the earth are already dead, but the north won't escape for long. Because of the explosions, the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. The sun won't be seen again for many years. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later, no more than 10 million people remain alive.‎ Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space. The dinosaurs couldn't live through the cold climate that followed and they died out. Will we meet the same end?‎ ‎8.What is mainly described in the passage?‎ A. An event of imagination. B. A historic discovery.‎ C. A scientific adventure. D. A research on space.‎ ‎9.When the first piece hits the South Atlantic, it causes ________.‎ A. an earthquake B. an Earth explosion C. huge waves D. damages to cities ‎10.Why can't the northern half of the earth escape for long?‎ A. Because the land is covered with water.‎ B. Because wars break out among countries.‎ C. Because people there can not live at the temperature of zero.‎ D. Because the light and heat from the sun can not reach the earth. ‎ ‎11.By giving the example of dinosaurs, the author tries to prove ________.‎ A. animals could not live in the cold climate B. the Earth could be hit by other objects in space ‎ C. the human beings will die out in 2094‎ D. what happened 65 million years ago was an invented story ‎ D Climate change will force exhausted birds migrating to Europe from Africa to travel further, with possibly disastrous consequences, according to a study.‎ The annual voyage of some species, which fly north in search of food and suitable habitats, could increase by as much as 400 kilometers (250 miles), the research found. “Marathon migrations for some birds are set to become even longer,” said Stephen Willis, a professor at Durham University in Britain and the main architect of the study. “This is bad news for birds like the White throat, a common farmland bird. The added distance is a considerable threat. As temperatures rise and habitats change, birds will face their biggest challenge since the Pleistocene era (更新世), which ended 11,000 years ago,” he said in a statement.‎ Some 500 million birds migrate each year from Africa, some weighing as little as nine grams (three-tenths of an ounce). To complete a voyage that can be thousands of kilometers long, birds have to fatten themselves up to twice their normal weight. Some even shrink their internal organs (收缩内脏) to become more fuel efficient, so any additional distance may be dangerous.‎ The study finds that from 2007 to 2010, nine out of 17 species examined are going to face longer migrations, particularly birds that cross the Sahara Desert. Some birds travel the Sahara and the Mediterranean Sea in a one go, while others have a break in northern Africa before crossing. Many fly at night, when temperatures are cooler.‎ A few — such as the Blackcap — have started to adapt by spending winters in Britain, but such behavior remains exceptional, the study said. The study forecasts that the migration distance of the Orphean Warbler will jump from 2,700 kilometers (1,700 miles) to between 3,050 and 3,350 kilometers (1,900 and 2,100 miles), with even longer increases for the Subalpine and Barred Warblers.‎ ‎12. What does traveling extra distance mean for some migrating birds?‎ A. Better living conditions. B. Better physical health.‎ C. Stronger ability to fly. D. Bigger threat to life.‎ ‎13. To complete the marathon migrations, some birds have to do the following except ______.‎ A. have a break in the Sahara B. put on more weight C. reduce the size of internal organs D. fly at night to avoid the heat ‎14. What can we infer from the text?‎ A. Birds have to migrate from Africa to Europe in winter.‎ B. Global warming is bad for all birds worldwide.‎ C. Birds that are of small size don’t need to migrate.‎ D. Some birds have to migrate unless they adapt to climate change.‎ ‎15. What’s the best title of the text?‎ A. Climate change leads to disastrous consequence B. The annual voyage of some species C. How birds migrate for longer distances D. Climate change pushes birds to migrate farther 第二节 七选五 （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。‎ How to plan for a perfect holiday People often dream of a perfect holiday with white sands, blue beaches and so on. But traveling or sometimes even planning a trip can be more of a stress. Here are some tips to make your holiday a memorable one. ‎ ‎● Set a budget. Before making a plan for the holiday, the most important thing is to set a budget. 16 ‎ ‎● Plan ahead. The first thing you need to do is to be sure of what you need from this trip.
