三、阅读单选(共35分)

A

New Zealand is a beautiful island country in the Pacific Ocean. There, snowy mountains rise high above the sea and grassy hills go across the land for miles. However, if you spend some time walking around the land, you’ll smell something different. Almost 30 million sheep and 10 million cows travel around those green hills and each one of them is farting (放屁).

That may sound like a joke. But scientists aren’t laughing. There are more cows and sheep than people in New Zealand: eight to one. And these animals fart more than 4 million tons of gas every year.

That gas adds to one of the most dangerous problems we face today: global warming (全球变暖). The gas that farm animals produce is called methane (甲烷), a greenhouse gas which can lead to climate (气候) change. But sheep and cows are not the main reason. Most greenhouse gases are produced by factories and cars.

But in New Zealand, farm animals produce almost half the country’s greenhouse gases. That’s why scientists in New Zealand are working hard to solve the problem. They’ve found medicine that can reduce gas in sheep and cows. But most farm animals in New Zealand walk free. It’s hard to round them up to give them medicine.

There’s also a third plan. Some scientists have put sheep in special sealed cages (密封笼子). They measure (测量) the gas that a sheep produces. It helps scientists find that some sheep naturally make less gas than others. When they give birth to those sheep together, their baby sheep farts less than their cousins.

It’s only a small improvement. But those baby sheep just might make the planet a better place to live.

26．Which statement is true about New Zealand?

A．The numbers of cows are dropping.

B．There are more cows and sheep than people.

C．Farm animals are in danger because of global warming.

27．The problem that cows and sheep brought to New Zealand is ________.

A．air pollution B．sea level rise C．fewer grassland

28．What can the special sealed cages help do?

A．Stop sheep from farting.

B．Give birth to sheep together.

C．Pick out sheep that produces less gas.

29．How does the writer feel about the third plan?

A．It might work. B．It will cost too much. C．It’s meaningless.

30．The reading material above is most probably from ________.

A．a move poster B．a science fiction C．a magazine

B

As I grow up, I know that life plays a very important role( 角色 ) in my education I really wanted to achieve. What I mean is that life can teach you things no one else can. Luckily for you, it’s time to have lessons of life. Pay attention and you can know what I call the school of life.

Use your head

You have to be smart to survive in this world. Anytime you need to make a move, stop and think. Obviously there will be times when you need to take action first, but if you’ve been taking the time to plan, you’ll always make the right choice. Fail to plan, plan to fail.

Set your goals

In my team, if you don’t finish the job well, we will fire you. Your goals should be on building a basic of solid and complete work. Make certain a list of what you have to do and start with the biggest and most difficult task. The key here is goals.

Respect your superiors( 上级 )

Your boss is in his position for a reason, no matter what you think of him. If he’s not the best one, be patient—he’ll be out of there soon. In the meantime, you have to respect him as your superior. That means following orders and closing your mouth. If you don’t respect your boss, how will you expect the people under you to do the same?

Keep your cool

You should never let your emotions( 情绪 ) control you. You should learn to keep calm. Never lose your cool when dealing in business, or it will ruin the whole thing.

The school of life can be hard, but if you’re smart and play your cards right, you can come out with an A+.  Just treat every situation as a learning experience. I hope you’ve studied.

31．From the passage, we learn that the author is probably________.

A．a young student B．a regular customer

C．a magazine editor D．an experienced manager

32．What does the underlined word “survive” mean in Chinese?

A．成长 B．生存 C．发展 D．成功

33．It can be learnt from the passage that________.

A．you will win your life if you fail to make your plan

B．setting goals isn’t important when you’re doing a job

C．it will ruin the whole thing if you lose your cool

D．you can never get an A+ if you keep working hard

34．According to the passage, what should you do if your boss isn’t the best one?

A．Respect him as your superior. B．Don’t follow his orders.

C．Make him out of his position. D．Don’t close your mouth.

C

Our Needs

People in different places have different habits, but their needs are similar. Needs are things we must have to live. Our bodies need food and water. We also need air. We need a place to live to keep us away from danger. We need clothes to keep us warm. If we do not have these things, we cannot survive.

Needs may be a little different for people who live in different areas. If you live where it is cold, you may need special clothes to keep you warm. If you live in hot places, you may need more water and fewer clothes.

Farmers produce food that people eat. In the past, they planted seeds and pick plants by hand. Now they have machines help them do this work.

Our Wants

Wants are things people eager to have but do not need to live. Suppose you hope to get a basketball for your birthday. A basketball is a want because you can live without it.

Sometimes we may want something so much that it feels like a need. We have to make choices. For example, if you need a new coat for winter, you might not be able to get the basketball you want. We must choose what we need instead of what we want.

Sometimes we must make choices between things we want. Suppose you want to go to a birthday party for your uncle. But a friend asks you to go to a movie. The movie is at the same time as the party. If you choose to go to the party, then what will you have to give up? What will you have to give up if you go to the movie?

35．Needs must be the things that we ________.

A．use almost every day B．cannot live without

C．have interest in D．use to improve our lives

36．Which of the following things is most probably a need?

A．A basketball. B．A birthday party.

C．A warm coat in winter. D．A wonderful movie.

37．Which statement shows the writers opinion?

A．What we want must be put before what we need.

B．If we want something very much, it can become our need.

C．It’s important to make a choice between the things we want.

D．People from different areas have different needs completely.

38．Where should the sentence “People always find new ways to meet their needs.” be put?

A．At the end of the first paragragh. B．At the beginning of the second paragraph.

C．At the end of the fourth paragraph. D．At the beginning of the third paragraph.

D

The Fuxing train has started running in southwest China’s Tibet along the Lhasa—Nyingchi Railway(拉萨—林芝铁路).

The 435-kilometer railway links Lhasa and Nyingchi. It is China’s first electrified(电气化的) railroad on the “Roof of the World”. It shortens the journey between Lhasa and Nyingchi from over five hours to about 3.5 hours.

The new railway covers an area of 226,000 square kilometers. It goes through 47 tunnels (隧道) and crosses 121 bridges. The train has a top speed of 160 kilometers per hour. It is the fastest train on the high land, but it’s a bit slower than some other Fuxing trains in our country because of the special environment. The railway not only makes local people’s life easier, but also brings more tourists to the area.

“The railway trip is so relaxing and fast. The new train has brought our family members closer than ever before,” said a teacher who lives in Nyingchi. She used to drive more than five hours from Nyingchi to Lhasa to visit her parents during the summer vacation.

Besides carrying passengers, the railway also provides good chances for farmers to sell local products to more places. It’s sure to put new energy into Tibet’s economic(经济的) development.

39．How many hours does the journey take between Lhasa and Nyingchi by Fuxing train?

A．About 5 hours. B．About 4 hours. C．About 3.5 hours. D．About 1.5 hours.

A．克扣 B．下降 C．缩短 D．缺少

42．What’s special about the Lhasa—Nyingchi Railway?

A．It covers a large area.

B．It can carry passengers.

C．The train goes through lots of tunnels and bridges.

D．It’s China’s first electrified railway on the “Roof of the World”.

43．What can we learn from the passage?

A．The railway trip is not relaxing or fast.

Dear John,

How’s everything going? It’s my pleasure to share my hobby with you.

I like sports, especially basketball. Here are some reasons. On one hand, playing basketball is a good way to make me stronger. On the other hand, I can make friends with people who share the same interest. I have been a fan of basketball since I was five years old. I almost practice playing basketball every day and I’m a member of our school team. By playing basketball, I learn how to work with others and try my best to realize my goals.

So, how about your hobby? Looking forward to your reply.

Yours,
