31．（10分）There was once a man called Ali who was travelling home with his friends through a desert.On their way，they met a poor stranger dressed in rags （衣裳褴褛），who would like to join them.They welcomed him and continued their journey through the desert.
It was not long before they lost their way.What's worse，there were no rivers，springs or even water wells in sight.With their water running out，they decided that the only way to survive （生存） was to ration the water that was left among them.Every day，each person could drink just one small cupful when they stopped for the night.
One evening，when it was Ali's turn to drink，he noticed the stranger staring at （注视） him.Ali gave him his share of the water.The stranger drank the water，for he was very thirsty，leaving Ali nothing to drink.
Day after day the same thing happened，and Ali became weaker and weaker without drinking water.
One morning，the stranger woke up Ali. "Get up，Ali.We are not far from water now." Alil ooked at the stranger curiously. "How do you know that？" he asked.The stranger smiled.He picked Ali up and put him on a camel. "Follow me." he told Ali's friends.They walked for a few kilometers.Then they stopped in surprise.The stranger had repaid Ali's kindness by leading them to an oasis!

32．（10分）Fishing is a popular activity and every fisherman knows the rule： keep the big ones，throw the smaller ones back. The reason for it is simple﹣if you keep the smaller ones，fewer fish will be able to grow and reproduce （繁殖），and the fish population will be in danger.But should we always keep the big ones？
One scientist，Dr.David Conover，has spent the last 10 years studying the effects of the "keep the big ones" rule.
To set up his experiment，Conover and his team caught hundreds of silverside fish and divided them into six groups.For two groups，Conover followed the "keep the large ones" rule and took out the biggest fish.For two other groups，he removed only the small fish.For the last two groups，he removed fish randomly （随机地）.
After five years，he measured the fish in each group.In the two groups where the largest fish were regularly removed，the average （平均） fish size was smaller than the average size in the other groups.That is to say，if only small fish survive to reproduce，then future generations of fish are likely to be small.
For the second five years of his experiment，Conover changed the rules and took fish randomly from each group.At the end of the experiment，he found that the fish that were in the "keep the large ones" group for the first five years had started to get larger again，although he expected it would take at least 12 years for the fish in that group to return to their normal size.In other words，it takes less time to shrink （变小） than it does to recover.
（1）The underlined word " it" in Line 2 refers to " ".
A.the activity
B.the fish
C.the rule
D.the fisherman
（2）Why do fishermen follow the "keep the big ones，throw the small ones back" rule？
A.It helps to protect fish numbers.
B.It helps to protect fish size.
C.They are used to following it.
D.They will be punished if they don't.
（3）About the "keep the big ones" group，what did Conover find about his experiment after the first five years？
A.It made no difference to fish size.
B.It affected all fish groups similarly.
C.It made the fish bigger on average.
D.It made fish smaller on average.
（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the experiment？
A.The whole experiment took Conover more than 12 years.
B.The fish in the "keep the large ones" group grew to their normal size in the experiment.
C.It takes fish more time to recover to their normal size than it does to grow smaller.
D.The fish in the six groups had the same average size at the end of the experiment.
（5）Why is the main purpose of this article？
A.To ask people to catch big fish.
B.To describe a scientific experiment.
C.To tell people the danger fish are facing.
D.To introduce the rules of fishing to readers.
33．（10分）Have you ever heard that it's impossible to fold a piece of paper more than seven times？Actually，it is just a popular myth（错误观点）.
The myth refers to folding a piece of paper in half many times in any direction.The paper is folded in hall.Try it for yourself with a piece of notebook paper.The first few folds are easy.But when you make the fifth and sixth folds，you'll notice that it's increasingly hard to fold the paper.Why does it happen？Because the number of the layers of paper doubles with each fold.For example，after the sixth fold，you're left with 64 layers of paper.If you have strong hands，you may be able to make that seventh fold.If you start with a piece of paper that is 0.01 centimeters thick，it'll be as thick as a notebook after seven folds.And it would seem impossible to make more folds.At this point，you may be thinking that the paper﹣folding myth doesn't sound much like a myth.
However，in 2002，a high school student named Britney Gallivan proved the idea wrong.Britney successfully folded a 1，200﹣meter﹣long roll of toilet paper 12 times（note that she used single﹣direction folding）.She also developed a mathematical rule.It allows you to find out the maximum （最大的）number of possible folds based on paper thickness，paper length，and direction of folding.
Since Britney's success，many people have managed to fold a single piece of paper more than 7 times.Students from a school even folded a piece of toilet paper a total of thirteen times.The toilet paper they used was about 4，000 meters long!
（1）The "myth" in the article refers to folding a piece of paper more than times.
A.5
B.6
C.7
D.12
（2）How thick the notebook mentioned in the second paragraph？
A.0.01 centimeters
B.0.07 centimeters
C.0.64 centimeters
D.1.28 centimeters
（3）Why can't we normally fold a piece of A4 paper more than seven times？
①Because it's too thick.
②Because it's not long enough.
③Because it's not strong enough.
④Because it's folded in the same direction.
A.①②
B.①③
C.②④
D.③④
（4）What can we learn from Britney Gallivan？
A Man has not a greater enemy than himself.
B.A man becomes learned by asking questions.
C.Knowledge is the most valuable of all things.
D.Things that seem impossible may be achievable.
（5）What can be the best title for the text？
A.A Rule of Paper﹣Folding
B.A Paper﹣Folding Record
C.The Paper﹣Folding Myth
D.The Art of Paper﹣Folding

31．（10分）There was once a man called Ali who was travelling home with his friends through a desert.On their way，they met a poor stranger dressed in rags （衣裳褴褛），who would like to join them.They welcomed him and continued their journey through the desert.
It was not long before they lost their way.What's worse，there were no rivers，springs or even water wells in sight.With their water running out，they decided that the only way to survive （生存） was to ration the water that was left among them.Every day，each person could drink just one small cupful when they stopped for the night.
One evening，when it was Ali's turn to drink，he noticed the stranger staring at （注视） him.Ali gave him his share of the water.The stranger drank the water，for he was very thirsty，leaving Ali nothing to drink.
Day after day the same thing happened，and Ali became weaker and weaker without drinking water.
One morning，the stranger woke up Ali. "Get up，Ali.We are not far from water now." Alil ooked at the stranger curiously. "How do you know that？" he asked.The stranger smiled.He picked Ali up and put him on a camel.

【解答】（1）词语猜测题。根据With their water running out，they decided that the only way to survive was to ration the water that was left among them.（随着水的耗尽，他们决定唯一的生存之道就是﹣﹣﹣供应剩下的水。）联系前后句可猜测出下划线单词 "ration"的意思是：定量供给。故选C。

（3）推理判断题。根据Ali gave him his share of the water.The stranger drank the water，for he was very thirsty，leaving Ali nothing to drink.（Ali给了他那份水。陌生人喝了水，因为他很渴，Ali没有水喝。）可知，Ali让陌生人喝他的水，因此推断他是善良的人。故选B。
（4）推理判断题。根据The stranger had repaid Ali's kindness by leading them to an oasis!（这个陌生人带着他们来到了绿洲，以此来报答Ali的好意！）可推断出图片A可能是陌生人带Ali和他的朋友去的地方。故选A。
（5）主旨大意题。根据Ali gave him his share of the water.The stranger drank the water，for he was very thirsty，leaving Ali nothing to drink.（Ali给了他那份水。陌生人喝了水，因为他很渴，Ali没有水喝。）以及The stranger had repaid Ali's kindness by leading them to an oasis!（这个陌生人带着他们来到了绿洲，以此来报答Ali的好意！）可知这篇文章主要告诉我们：帮助别人就等于帮助自己。故选D。

32．（10分）Fishing is a popular activity and every fisherman knows the rule： keep the big ones，throw the smaller ones back. The reason for it is simple﹣if you keep the smaller ones，fewer fish will be able to grow and reproduce （繁殖），and the fish population will be in danger.But should we always keep the big ones？
One scientist，Dr.David Conover，has spent the last 10 years studying the effects of the "keep the big ones" rule.
To set up his experiment，Conover and his team caught hundreds of silverside fish and divided them into six groups.For two groups，Conover followed the "keep the large ones" rule and took out the biggest fish.For two other groups，he removed only the small fish.For the last two groups，he removed fish randomly （随机地）.
After five years，he measured the fish in each group.In the two groups where the largest fish were regularly removed，the average （平均） fish size was smaller than the average size in the other groups.That is to say，if only small fish survive to reproduce，then future generations of fish are likely to be small.
For the second five years of his experiment，Conover changed the rules and took fish randomly from each group.At the end of the experiment，he found that the fish that were in the "keep the large ones" group for the first five years had started to get larger again，although he expected it would take at least 12 years for the fish in that group to return to their normal size.In other words，it takes less time to shrink （变小） than it does to recover.
（1）The underlined word " it" in Line 2 refers to " C ".
A.the activity
B.the fish
C.the rule
D.the fisherman
（2）Why do fishermen follow the "keep the big ones，throw the small ones back" rule？ A
A.It helps to protect fish numbers.
B.It helps to protect fish size.
C.They are used to following it.
D.They will be punished if they don't.
（3）About the "keep the big ones" group，what did Conover find about his experiment after the first five years？ D
A.It made no difference to fish size.
B.It affected all fish groups similarly.
C.It made the fish bigger on average.
D.It made fish smaller on average.
（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the experiment？ C
A.The whole experiment took Conover more than 12 years.
B.The fish in the "keep the large ones" group grew to their normal size in the experiment.
C.It takes fish more time to recover to their normal size than it does to grow smaller.
D.The fish in the six groups had the same average size at the end of the experiment.
（5）Why is the main purpose of this article？ B
A.To ask people to catch big fish.
B.To describe a scientific experiment.
C.To tell people the danger fish are facing.
D.To introduce the rules of fishing to readers.
【分析】本文主要介绍了关于鱼的一个实验。
【解答】（1）C.词义猜测题。根据Fishing is a popular activity and every fisherman knows the rule：Keep the big ones，throw the smaller ones back.The idea behind it is simple.钓鱼是一项很受欢迎的活动，每个渔民都知道这个规则：留下大的，把小的扔回去。其背后的想法很简单。由此可知，it指上文中"留大鱼；扔小鱼"的捕鱼规则。故选：C。
（2）A.推理判断题。根据If you keep the smaller young fish，they won't be able to reproduce，so there will be fewer fish.如果你留下较小的幼鱼，它们就不能繁殖，因此鱼就会减少。由此可以推测出，"留大鱼"规则的目的是保持鱼的数量。故选A。
（3）D.细节理解题。根据After five years，he measured the fish in each group.In the two groups where the largest fish were regularly removed，the average fish size was smaller than the average size in the other groups.五年之后，他对每组的鱼进行了测量。在两组定期去除最大的鱼，鱼的平均大小比其他组的平均大小要小。由此可知，经过前五年的实验，Conover发现"保留大鱼"规则会使鱼变小。故选D。
（4）C.细节判断题。根据At the end of the experiment，he found that the fish that were in the"keep the large ones"group for the first five years had started to get larger again，although he expected it would take at least 12 years for the fish in that group to return to their normal size.In other words，it takes less time to shrink（变小）than it docs to recover.可知在实验结束时，他发现前五年"养大鱼"组的鱼又开始变大，尽管他预计这组鱼至少需要12年才能恢复到正常大小。换句话说，收缩所需的时间比恢复所需的时间更少。故选C.
（4）B.写作意图题。根据One scientist，Dr David Conover has spent the last decade studying the effects of the"keep the big ones"rule.大卫•科诺弗博士是一位科学家，他在过去十年中一直在研究"保留大鱼"规则的影响。以及分析全文可知，本文的目的主要介绍了关于鱼的一个实验。故选B。

33．（10分）Have you ever heard that it's impossible to fold a piece of paper more than seven times？Actually，it is just a popular myth（错误观点）.
The myth refers to folding a piece of paper in half many times in any direction.The paper is folded in hall.Try it for yourself with a piece of notebook paper.The first few folds are easy.But when you make the fifth and sixth folds，you'll notice that it's increasingly hard to fold the paper.Why does it happen？Because the number of the layers of paper doubles with each fold.For example，after the sixth fold，you're left with 64 layers of paper.If you have strong hands，you may be able to make that seventh fold.If you start with a piece of paper that is 0.01 centimeters thick，it'll be as thick as a notebook after seven folds.And it would seem impossible to make more folds.At this point，you may be thinking that the paper﹣folding myth doesn't sound much like a myth.
However，in 2002，a high school student named Britney Gallivan proved the idea wrong.Britney successfully folded a 1，200﹣meter﹣long roll of toilet paper 12 times（note that she used single﹣direction folding）.She also developed a mathematical rule.It allows you to find out the maximum （最大的）number of possible folds based on paper thickness，paper length，and direction of folding.
Since Britney's success，many people have managed to fold a single piece of paper more than 7 times.Students from a school even folded a piece of toilet paper a total of thirteen times.The toilet paper they used was about 4，000 meters long!
（1）The "myth" in the article refers to folding a piece of paper more than C times.
A.5
B.6
C.7
D.12
（2）How thick the notebook mentioned in the second paragraph？ D
A.0.01 centimeters
B.0.07 centimeters
C.0.64 centimeters
D.1.28 centimeters
（3）Why can't we normally fold a piece of A4 paper more than seven times？ A
①Because it's too thick.
②Because it's not long enough.
③Because it's not strong enough.
④Because it's folded in the same direction.
A.①②
B.①③
C.②④
D.③④
（4）What can we learn from Britney Gallivan？ D
A Man has not a greater enemy than himself.
B.A man becomes learned by asking questions.
C.Knowledge is the most valuable of all things.
D.Things that seem impossible may be achievable.
（5）What can be the best title for the text？ C
A.A Rule of Paper﹣Folding
B.A Paper﹣Folding Record
C.The Paper﹣Folding Myth
D.The Art of Paper﹣Folding
【分析】本文说的是不能把一张纸折叠7次以上这个流传广泛的谬论。文章分析了这种说法流传的原因和这种说法是怎样被一个高中女生打破的。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据文中Have you ever heard that it's impossible to fold a piece of paper more than seven times（你是否曾经听说过，把一张纸折叠超过7次是不可能的？），再根据下文Actually，it is just a popular myth（事实上这是一种流传很广的错误说法），故选C。
（2）细节理解题。根据文中.For example，after the sixth fold，you're left with 64 layers of paper（例如，当你折叠六次后，纸张会达到64层。）和If you start with a piece of paper that is 0.01 centimeters thick （如果你从厚达64页，每页纸厚0.01cm开始折叠）可知，如果你从一张0.01厘米厚的纸开始，经过七次折叠后，它会和笔记本一样厚。可知经过七次折叠之后会有128层纸，每一层0.01厘米，一共1.28厘米。故选D。
（3）细节理解题。根据文中For example，after the sixth fold，you're left with 64 layers of paper （例如，当你折叠六次后，纸张会达到64层）；再根据文中If you have strong hands，you may be able to make that seventh fold（如果你的双手足够强壮，你可能会折叠7折）可知，我们通常无法把一张A4纸折7折，是因为我们的力气不够大。综上，我们无法把一张A4折叠7次以上是因为折叠次数越多，纸张就越多，越来越厚，而且因为纸张不够长，我们也没法折叠，故选A。
（4）推理判断题。根据文中Since Britney's proof，many people have managed to fold a single piece of paper more than 7 times.The current record is 13 folds，held by several students from St.Marks School in Massachusetts.They used about 16，460 meters of toilet paper to achieve this feat（自从布兰妮的证明，许多人已经设法折叠一张纸超过7次。目前的纪录是13次，由马萨诸塞州圣马克学校的几名学生保持。他们用了16460米的卫生纸才完成了这一壮举）可知，本文主要讲述了一个看似不可能的事情其实是可以实现的。故选D。
（5）主旨大意题。根据文中Have you ever heard that it's impossible to fold a piece of paper more than seven times（你是否曾经听说过，把一张纸折叠超过7次是不可能的？）和Actually，it is just a popular myth（事实上这是一种流传很广的错误说法）可知，本文说的是不能把一张纸折叠7次以上这个流传广泛的谬论。故选C。

31．（10分）There was once a man called Ali who was travelling home with his friends through a desert.On their way，they met a poor stranger dressed in rags （衣裳褴褛），who would like to join them.They welcomed him and continued their journey through the desert.
It was not long before they lost their way.What's worse，there were no rivers，springs or even water wells in sight.With their water running out，they decided that the only way to survive （生存） was to ration the water that was left among them.Every day，each person could drink just one small cupful when they stopped for the night.
One evening，when it was Ali's turn to drink，he noticed the stranger staring at （注视） him.Ali gave him his share of the water.The stranger drank the water，for he was very thirsty，leaving Ali nothing to drink.
Day after day the same thing happened，and Ali became weaker and weaker without drinking water.
One morning，the stranger woke up Ali. "Get up，Ali.We are not far from water now." Alil ooked at the stranger curiously. "How do you know that？" he asked.The stranger smiled.He picked Ali up and put him on a camel. "Follow me." he told Ali's friends.They walked for a few kilometers.Then they stopped in surprise.The stranger had repaid Ali's kindness by leading them to an oasis!

32．（10分）Fishing is a popular activity and every fisherman knows the rule： keep the big ones，throw the smaller ones back. The reason for it is simple﹣if you keep the smaller ones，fewer fish will be able to grow and reproduce （繁殖），and the fish population will be in danger.But should we always keep the big ones？
One scientist，Dr.David Conover，has spent the last 10 years studying the effects of the "keep the big ones" rule.
To set up his experiment，Conover and his team caught hundreds of silverside fish and divided them into six groups.For two groups，Conover followed the "keep the large ones" rule and took out the biggest fish.For two other groups，he removed only the small fish.For the last two groups，he removed fish randomly （随机地）.
After five years，he measured the fish in each group.In the two groups where the largest fish were regularly removed，the average （平均） fish size was smaller than the average size in the other groups.That is to say，if only small fish survive to reproduce，then future generations of fish are likely to be small.
For the second five years of his experiment，Conover changed the rules and took fish randomly from each group.At the end of the experiment，he found that the fish that were in the "keep the large ones" group for the first five years had started to get larger again，although he expected it would take at least 12 years for the fish in that group to return to their normal size.In other words，it takes less time to shrink （变小） than it does to recover.
（1）The underlined word " it" in Line 2 refers to " ".
A.the activity
B.the fish
C.the rule
D.the fisherman
（2）Why do fishermen follow the "keep the big ones，throw the small ones back" rule？
A.It helps to protect fish numbers.
B.It helps to protect fish size.
C.They are used to following it.
D.They will be punished if they don't.
（3）About the "keep the big ones" group，what did Conover find about his experiment after the first five years？
A.It made no difference to fish size.
B.It affected all fish groups similarly.
C.It made the fish bigger on average.
D.It made fish smaller on average.
（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the experiment？
A.The whole experiment took Conover more than 12 years.
B.The fish in the "keep the large ones" group grew to their normal size in the experiment.
C.It takes fish more time to recover to their normal size than it does to grow smaller.
D.The fish in the six groups had the same average size at the end of the experiment.
（5）Why is the main purpose of this article？
A.To ask people to catch big fish.
B.To describe a scientific experiment.
C.To tell people the danger fish are facing.
D.To introduce the rules of fishing to readers.
33．（10分）Have you ever heard that it's impossible to fold a piece of paper more than seven times？Actually，it is just a popular myth（错误观点）.
The myth refers to folding a piece of paper in half many times in any direction.The paper is folded in hall.Try it for yourself with a piece of notebook paper.The first few folds are easy.But when you make the fifth and sixth folds，you'll notice that it's increasingly hard to fold the paper.Why does it happen？Because the number of the layers of paper doubles with each fold.For example，after the sixth fold，you're left with 64 layers of paper.If you have strong hands，you may be able to make that seventh fold.If you start with a piece of paper that is 0.01 centimeters thick，it'll be as thick as a notebook after seven folds.And it would seem impossible to make more folds.At this point，you may be thinking that the paper﹣folding myth doesn't sound much like a myth.
However，in 2002，a high school student named Britney Gallivan proved the idea wrong.Britney successfully folded a 1，200﹣meter﹣long roll of toilet paper 12 times（note that she used single﹣direction folding）.She also developed a mathematical rule.It allows you to find out the maximum （最大的）number of possible folds based on paper thickness，paper length，and direction of folding.
Since Britney's success，many people have managed to fold a single piece of paper more than 7 times.Students from a school even folded a piece of toilet paper a total of thirteen times.The toilet paper they used was about 4，000 meters long!
（1）The "myth" in the article refers to folding a piece of paper more than times.
A.5
B.6
C.7
D.12
（2）How thick the notebook mentioned in the second paragraph？
A.0.01 centimeters
B.0.07 centimeters
C.0.64 centimeters
D.1.28 centimeters
（3）Why can't we normally fold a piece of A4 paper more than seven times？
①Because it's too thick.
②Because it's not long enough.
③Because it's not strong enough.
④Because it's folded in the same direction.
A.①②
B.①③
C.②④
D.③④
（4）What can we learn from Britney Gallivan？
A Man has not a greater enemy than himself.
B.A man becomes learned by asking questions.
C.Knowledge is the most valuable of all things.
D.Things that seem impossible may be achievable.
（5）What can be the best title for the text？
A.A Rule of Paper﹣Folding
B.A Paper﹣Folding Record
C.The Paper﹣Folding Myth
D.The Art of Paper﹣Folding

31．（10分）There was once a man called Ali who was travelling home with his friends through a desert.On their way，they met a poor stranger dressed in rags （衣裳褴褛），who would like to join them.They welcomed him and continued their journey through the desert.
It was not long before they lost their way.What's worse，there were no rivers，springs or even water wells in sight.With their water running out，they decided that the only way to survive （生存） was to ration the water that was left among them.Every day，each person could drink just one small cupful when they stopped for the night.
One evening，when it was Ali's turn to drink，he noticed the stranger staring at （注视） him.Ali gave him his share of the water.The stranger drank the water，for he was very thirsty，leaving Ali nothing to drink.
Day after day the same thing happened，and Ali became weaker and weaker without drinking water.
One morning，the stranger woke up Ali. "Get up，Ali.We are not far from water now." Alil ooked at the stranger curiously. "How do you know that？" he asked.The stranger smiled.He picked Ali up and put him on a camel.

【分析】本文主要讲述了Ali和朋友在沙漠里旅行，他们遇到一个陌生人，让他加入了他们。沙漠里没有水，他们的水定量供给，Ali把他的水给这个陌生人喝。他把Ali的水喝光了。后来，他为了回报Ali的善良，领着他们去了一个绿洲。
【解答】（1）词语猜测题。根据With their water running out，they decided that the only way to survive was to ration the water that was left among them.（随着水的耗尽，他们决定唯一的生存之道就是﹣﹣﹣供应剩下的水。）联系前后句可猜测出下划线单词 "ration"的意思是：定量供给。故选C。
（2）细节排序题。根据On their way，they met a poor stranger dressed in rags ，who would like to join them.（在路上，他们遇到了一个衣衫褴褛的可怜的陌生人，他想加入他们的行列。）以及They welcomed him and continued their journey through the desert.（他们欢迎他，继续穿越沙漠。）以及 It was not long before they lost their way.（不久他们就迷路了。）以及 One evening，when it was Ali's turn to drink，he noticed the stranger staring at him.Ali gave him his share of the water.（一天晚上，轮到Ali喝水时，他注意到那个陌生人盯着他看，Ali给了他那份水。）可知正确的顺序为c﹣b﹣a﹣e﹣d。故选B。
（3）推理判断题。根据Ali gave him his share of the water.The stranger drank the water，for he was very thirsty，leaving Ali nothing to drink.（Ali给了他那份水。陌生人喝了水，因为他很渴，Ali没有水喝。）可知，Ali让陌生人喝他的水，因此推断他是善良的人。故选B。
（4）推理判断题。根据The stranger had repaid Ali's kindness by leading them to an oasis!（这个陌生人带着他们来到了绿洲，以此来报答Ali的好意！）可推断出图片A可能是陌生人带Ali和他的朋友去的地方。故选A。
（5）主旨大意题。根据Ali gave him his share of the water.The stranger drank the water，for he was very thirsty，leaving Ali nothing to drink.（Ali给了他那份水。陌生人喝了水，因为他很渴，Ali没有水喝。）以及The stranger had repaid Ali's kindness by leading them to an oasis!（这个陌生人带着他们来到了绿洲，以此来报答Ali的好意！）可知这篇文章主要告诉我们：帮助别人就等于帮助自己。故选D。
【点评】做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。做题时要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据。
32．（10分）Fishing is a popular activity and every fisherman knows the rule： keep the big ones，throw the smaller ones back. The reason for it is simple﹣if you keep the smaller ones，fewer fish will be able to grow and reproduce （繁殖），and the fish population will be in danger.But should we always keep the big ones？
One scientist，Dr.David Conover，has spent the last 10 years studying the effects of the "keep the big ones" rule.
To set up his experiment，Conover and his team caught hundreds of silverside fish and divided them into six groups.For two groups，Conover followed the "keep the large ones" rule and took out the biggest fish.For two other groups，he removed only the small fish.For the last two groups，he removed fish randomly （随机地）.
After five years，he measured the fish in each group.In the two groups where the largest fish were regularly removed，the average （平均） fish size was smaller than the average size in the other groups.That is to say，if only small fish survive to reproduce，then future generations of fish are likely to be small.
For the second five years of his experiment，Conover changed the rules and took fish randomly from each group.At the end of the experiment，he found that the fish that were in the "keep the large ones" group for the first five years had started to get larger again，although he expected it would take at least 12 years for the fish in that group to return to their normal size.In other words，it takes less time to shrink （变小） than it does to recover.
（1）The underlined word " it" in Line 2 refers to " C ".
A.the activity
B.the fish
C.the rule
D.the fisherman
（2）Why do fishermen follow the "keep the big ones，throw the small ones back" rule？ A
A.It helps to protect fish numbers.
B.It helps to protect fish size.
C.They are used to following it.
D.They will be punished if they don't.
（3）About the "keep the big ones" group，what did Conover find about his experiment after the first five years？ D
A.It made no difference to fish size.
B.It affected all fish groups similarly.
C.It made the fish bigger on average.
D.It made fish smaller on average.
（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the experiment？ C
A.The whole experiment took Conover more than 12 years.
B.The fish in the "keep the large ones" group grew to their normal size in the experiment.
C.It takes fish more time to recover to their normal size than it does to grow smaller.
D.The fish in the six groups had the same average size at the end of the experiment.
（5）Why is the main purpose of this article？ B
A.To ask people to catch big fish.
B.To describe a scientific experiment.
C.To tell people the danger fish are facing.
D.To introduce the rules of fishing to readers.
【分析】本文主要介绍了关于鱼的一个实验。
【解答】（1）C.词义猜测题。根据Fishing is a popular activity and every fisherman knows the rule：Keep the big ones，throw the smaller ones back.The idea behind it is simple.钓鱼是一项很受欢迎的活动，每个渔民都知道这个规则：留下大的，把小的扔回去。其背后的想法很简单。由此可知，it指上文中"留大鱼；扔小鱼"的捕鱼规则。故选：C。
（2）A.推理判断题。根据If you keep the smaller young fish，they won't be able to reproduce，so there will be fewer fish.如果你留下较小的幼鱼，它们就不能繁殖，因此鱼就会减少。由此可以推测出，"留大鱼"规则的目的是保持鱼的数量。故选A。
（3）D.细节理解题。根据After five years，he measured the fish in each group.In the two groups where the largest fish were regularly removed，the average fish size was smaller than the average size in the other groups.五年之后，他对每组的鱼进行了测量。在两组定期去除最大的鱼，鱼的平均大小比其他组的平均大小要小。由此可知，经过前五年的实验，Conover发现"保留大鱼"规则会使鱼变小。故选D。
（4）C.细节判断题。根据At the end of the experiment，he found that the fish that were in the"keep the large ones"group for the first five years had started to get larger again，although he expected it would take at least 12 years for the fish in that group to return to their normal size.In other words，it takes less time to shrink（变小）than it docs to recover.可知在实验结束时，他发现前五年"养大鱼"组的鱼又开始变大，尽管他预计这组鱼至少需要12年才能恢复到正常大小。换句话说，收缩所需的时间比恢复所需的时间更少。故选C.
（4）B.写作意图题。根据One scientist，Dr David Conover has spent the last decade studying the effects of the"keep the big ones"rule.大卫•科诺弗博士是一位科学家，他在过去十年中一直在研究"保留大鱼"规则的影响。以及分析全文可知，本文的目的主要介绍了关于鱼的一个实验。故选B。

33．（10分）Have you ever heard that it's impossible to fold a piece of paper more than seven times？Actually，it is just a popular myth（错误观点）.
The myth refers to folding a piece of paper in half many times in any direction.The paper is folded in hall.Try it for yourself with a piece of notebook paper.The first few folds are easy.But when you make the fifth and sixth folds，you'll notice that it's increasingly hard to fold the paper.Why does it happen？Because the number of the layers of paper doubles with each fold.For example，after the sixth fold，you're left with 64 layers of paper.If you have strong hands，you may be able to make that seventh fold.If you start with a piece of paper that is 0.01 centimeters thick，it'll be as thick as a notebook after seven folds.And it would seem impossible to make more folds.At this point，you may be thinking that the paper﹣folding myth doesn't sound much like a myth.
However，in 2002，a high school student named Britney Gallivan proved the idea wrong.Britney successfully folded a 1，200﹣meter﹣long roll of toilet paper 12 times（note that she used single﹣direction folding）.She also developed a mathematical rule.It allows you to find out the maximum （最大的）number of possible folds based on paper thickness，paper length，and direction of folding.
Since Britney's success，many people have managed to fold a single piece of paper more than 7 times.Students from a school even folded a piece of toilet paper a total of thirteen times.The toilet paper they used was about 4，000 meters long!
（1）The "myth" in the article refers to folding a piece of paper more than C times.
A.5
B.6
C.7
D.12
（2）How thick the notebook mentioned in the second paragraph？ D
A.0.01 centimeters
B.0.07 centimeters
C.0.64 centimeters
D.1.28 centimeters
（3）Why can't we normally fold a piece of A4 paper more than seven times？ A
①Because it's too thick.
②Because it's not long enough.
③Because it's not strong enough.
④Because it's folded in the same direction.
A.①②
B.①③
C.②④
D.③④
（4）What can we learn from Britney Gallivan？ D
A Man has not a greater enemy than himself.
B.A man becomes learned by asking questions.
C.Knowledge is the most valuable of all things.
D.Things that seem impossible may be achievable.
（5）What can be the best title for the text？ C
A.A Rule of Paper﹣Folding
B.A Paper﹣Folding Record
C.The Paper﹣Folding Myth
D.The Art of Paper﹣Folding
【分析】本文说的是不能把一张纸折叠7次以上这个流传广泛的谬论。文章分析了这种说法流传的原因和这种说法是怎样被一个高中女生打破的。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据文中Have you ever heard that it's impossible to fold a piece of paper more than seven times（你是否曾经听说过，把一张纸折叠超过7次是不可能的？），再根据下文Actually，it is just a popular myth（事实上这是一种流传很广的错误说法），故选C。
（2）细节理解题。根据文中.For example，after the sixth fold，you're left with 64 layers of paper（例如，当你折叠六次后，纸张会达到64层。）和If you start with a piece of paper that is 0.01 centimeters thick （如果你从厚达64页，每页纸厚0.01cm开始折叠）可知，如果你从一张0.01厘米厚的纸开始，经过七次折叠后，它会和笔记本一样厚。可知经过七次折叠之后会有128层纸，每一层0.01厘米，一共1.28厘米。故选D。
（3）细节理解题。根据文中For example，after the sixth fold，you're left with 64 layers of paper （例如，当你折叠六次后，纸张会达到64层）；再根据文中If you have strong hands，you may be able to make that seventh fold（如果你的双手足够强壮，你可能会折叠7折）可知，我们通常无法把一张A4纸折7折，是因为我们的力气不够大。综上，我们无法把一张A4折叠7次以上是因为折叠次数越多，纸张就越多，越来越厚，而且因为纸张不够长，我们也没法折叠，故选A。
（4）推理判断题。根据文中Since Britney's proof，many people have managed to fold a single piece of paper more than 7 times.The current record is 13 folds，held by several students from St.Marks School in Massachusetts.They used about 16，460 meters of toilet paper to achieve this feat（自从布兰妮的证明，许多人已经设法折叠一张纸超过7次。目前的纪录是13次，由马萨诸塞州圣马克学校的几名学生保持。他们用了16460米的卫生纸才完成了这一壮举）可知，本文主要讲述了一个看似不可能的事情其实是可以实现的。故选D。
（5）主旨大意题。根据文中Have you ever heard that it's impossible to fold a piece of paper more than seven times（你是否曾经听说过，把一张纸折叠超过7次是不可能的？）和Actually，it is just a popular myth（事实上这是一种流传很广的错误说法）可知，本文说的是不能把一张纸折叠7次以上这个流传广泛的谬论。故选C。
