1、 Unit 1 A land of diversity 第Ⅰ卷 第二部分：閱讀理解（共兩節(jié)，滿分40分） 第一節(jié)（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分） 閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 A ★★☆☆☆ Dear Mayor (市長) Lewis, As we know, the city budget for next year does not include enough money to maintain (維修) the playing fields and skating rink (溜冰場) in Center Park.

2、We are aware that the storms that hit Lyndon last summer caused a great amount of damage, and the city’s budget should first be used to repair the high school, city hall, and airport. Don’t you realize, however, what a loss the park will be? Center Park is the best place in the city for sports, pi

3、cnics, concerts, walking, and enjoying nature. It plays a vital role in the education of our children. Each year science teachers bring their classes to the park on field trips to study plants and animals. Small children use the playground equipment every day. There are no other parks nearby for the

4、se kids to enjoy themselves. Every day I see the park on my way to school. It is absolutely necessary to support Center Park. The Lyndon High School Ice Skating Club would like to offer the city some help. We are suggesting a Skatathon. Our members would ask family, friends, and businesses for he

5、lp, and then skate all day. For every mile skated, we would raise money to be used to maintain the fields and rink. Also, some of our members are willing to help the park staff do simple repairs at the rink. While it appears that the city can no longer afford Center Park, other facts tell us we ha

6、ve to maintain this park as a place for the entire Lyndon community. It is a green, refreshing place to go in the middle of the city. We hope our idea is the first of many good ideas to keep Center Park green and clean. Sincerely yours, Cara Johnson 21. What happened to Center Park last summer?

7、A. Lack of money made it almost closed. B. A lot of equipment there was missing. C. It was abandoned by local people. D. It was badly damaged in the storms. 22. In the author’s opinion, Center Park _____. A. means a lot to those living in Lyndon B. should be open to the public for free C. is

8、too small for people to have fun D. is more important than the airport 23. A Skatathon might be run to _____. A. make skating more popular B. collect money to maintain Center Park C. improve people’s health D. encourage people to join the skating club 24. Cara Johnson wrote the letter mainly

9、to _____. A. express thanks B. make an apology C. make a suggestion D. send her congratulations B ★★☆☆☆ I am David Krakowski, a research scientist. Recently I spent three months studying sea life at Palmer Station, the U.S. research station 20 miles west of the Antarctic Peninsula. Bec

10、ause the weather outside was very cold and windy, I wore special clothing from the U.S. Antarctic Program. Anytime I was near the water, I wore a bright-orange float-coat that worked as a life preserver. The divers wore even more warm layers and a watertight dry suit to protect them from the icy wat

11、er. Inside the station, I worked in the indoor aquarium and the laboratories. Palmer Station was kept well heated, so there was nothing special about what I wore. You might think that the food at a polar station would be gross. You’d be wrong. We had two cooks who made delicious meals every day.

12、At Palmer Station, fresh water was precious. Melting glacier ice for water used a lot of fuel, so we purified the salty seawater. On weekends, we hiked or skied on the glacier behind the station or took short boat trips. To be able to explore, everyone first went to Survival School. When we were o

13、n the glacier, we stayed on marked paths to avoid falling into deep cracks in the ice hidden by snow. On boat trips, we avoided dangerous icebergs. We were careful not to disturb any animals, because there are strict rules to protect them. A few times, penguins and seals visited us at the station, t

14、hough. After a long day of work, everyone ate dinner together in the cafeteria. Then, I’d head for the game room. We watched movies on a big-screen TV, played computer games, and even had parties. No TV or radio stations come into Antarctica, so we communicated with the outside world using e-mail

15、. Because I woke every day at 7:00 am, I was exhausted by 11:00 pm. You need a good night’s sleep to be ready for another exciting day at Palmer Station! 25. What might the author wear inside Palmer Station? A. A long heavy coat. B. A watertight dry suit. C. A bright-orange float-coat. D. Ordin

16、ary clothes like ours. 26. The underlined word “gross” in Paragraph 3 can best be replaced by “_____”. A. terrible B. fresh C. enough D. natural 27. While exploring outside, the author _____. A. often played with penguins and seals B. sometimes walked along certain routes C. neve

17、r took a boat because of cold weather D. would visit Survival School with his friends 28. At Palmer Station, the author _____. A. usually slept badly B. felt cut off from the outside world C. could not listen to programs on the radio D. worked short hours every day 29. What would be the best

18、title for the text? A. David Krakowski: a brave scientist B. Living at the bottom of the world C. History of the Antarctic Peninsula D. Sea life at Palmer Station C ★★★☆☆ Cycling to school or work is now faster and more efficient than any other types of transport in Copenhagen, the capital

19、of Denmark. The city has gone all out to encourage its cyclists — it has laid out more than 1,000 km of cycle lanes (車道), and improved traffic signals at the crossroads. No wonder Copenhagen’s cyclists hardly break traffic rules. Several of the city’s main streets are closed to cars and instead h

20、ave only cycle lanes and cycle parking areas. Bike lanes along the major roads are wide and slightly raised. Copenhagen is developing 38 bike superhighways along the main city routes. The city’s light rail system has recently permitted cyclists to bring their cycles on board, and it is free of charg

21、e. The city planners are absolutely committed to make cyclists feel safe. So when cyclists approach a major crossroads, sensors (傳感器) a little way down the streets tell the traffic lights to give them a “green” signal, which means cyclists are rarely held up by traffic. It is simply a smooth conti

22、nuous journey from home to school! Even in the bitterly cold winters, the cycle lanes are cleared of snow before car lanes. Lately, however, the government is facing a new and curious problem. Many cyclists have now started leaving their cycles just about anywhere. Often, the biggest challenge fac

23、ed by cyclists is getting their bike out of these huge piles without getting chain oil onto themselves. Perhaps the solution lies in turning more car parking spaces into cycle parking areas, or else, building multi-story or underground parking spaces for cycles. Meanwhile, other urban cities are f

24、ollowing this capital city’s example. London, Paris, New York, San Francisco, Beijing and many others are all adopting measures to encourage cyclists, inspired by the City of Cyclists. 30. Copenhagen is putting in a great deal of effort to make it _____. A. more beautiful B. less crowded C. envi

25、ronment-friendly D. tourist-friendly 31. To make cyclists feel safe, _____. A. cycling is not allowed on snowy days B. the light rail system is closed at weekends C. the city’s streets have been closed to cars D. traffic lights are much friendlier to cyclists 32. What’s the main idea of the t

26、ext? A. Copenhagen is on the way to be a real cyclists’ city. B. There is a strong need to set up more parking spaces for cycles. C. Cycling to school or work is very popular everywhere in Denmark. D. Strict traffic rules should be made to guarantee the safety of cyclists. D ★★★★☆ Horses h

27、ad been running wild in the Americas for thousands of years, until they went extinct. Modern horses, as we know them, came to America in around 1519 AD with the Spanish settlers led by Hernn Cortz. Over time, some developed into the domesticated (馴養(yǎng)的) horse. However, America has preserved many of

28、these wild horses that came from their Spanish ancestors. There has been debate about the future of wild horse populations in America. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) says that there are about 33,780 wild horses throughout 10 states in the western part of the U.S. These wild horses have

29、no natural enemies and are under federal protection, so their population size can double every four years. This does lead to problems. For many years, wild horses that came too close to cattle or sheep on public grazing lands (牧場) were caught or killed. Then a national campaign encouraged states and

30、 the federal government to protect the animals as a symbol of the American West. In 1971, a law was passed to allow only agents of the BLM to gather the horses as part of their work in preserving federal lands. Most people (scientists included) believe that wild horse populations need to become a

31、lot smaller. The BLM, which keeps track of wild horses, suggests that we have about 14,000 more horses than can exist in balance with the ecosystems that they live in. This causes a huge problem that has to be dealt with both environmentally and politically. A solution needs to be found not only to

32、preserve the species but to also keep its population under control. And then, politically this needs to be done in some way. Some things have already been done to try to get the number of wild horses down, which include adoption of wild horses and the practice of giving vaccines to the female hors

33、es to make them unable to reproduce. 33. What was the main reason people caught or killed wild horses? A. To make money. B. To get pleasure. C. To control their numbers. D. To protect domestic animals. 34. According to the BLM, _____. A. it is impossible to keep track of wild horses B. it

34、is wrong to give vaccines to the female horses C. the number of wild horses should be brought down to about 19,780 D. the symbol of the American West doesn’t have to be wild horses 35. In the text, the author mainly talks about _____. A. the Bureau of Land Management B. America’s wild horse pro

35、blem C. life in the American West D. native horses in America 第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分） 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。 Tips for taking care of friendships Some people are meant to come and go from your lives quickly.
