1、高一英语试卷 第二部分 阅读理解 （共两节，满分40） 第一节 (A)When scientists accidentally killed what turned out to be the worlds oldest living creature, it was bad enough. Now, their mistake has been worsened after further research found it was even older at 507 years.The ocean quahog, a type of deep-sea clam, was dredged (
2、捕捞) alive from the bottom of the North Atlantic near Iceland in 2006 by researchers. They then put it in a fridge-freezer, as is normal practice, unaware of its age. It was only when it was taken to a laboratory that scientists from Bangor University studied it and concluded it was 400 years old.The
3、 discovery made it into the Guinness Book of World Records. However, by this time, it was too late for Ming the Mollusc(软体动物), named after the Chinese dynasty when its life began. Unfortunately researchers who calculated Mings age killed it instantly by opening its shell.The researchers opened the a
4、ncient clam up to judge its age by counting growth rings inside. But the rings were so close together that scientists ended up having to count the rings on the outside to be accurate, leading CBS journalists to point out that if scientists had just started there, Ming could have lived on. Now, after
5、 examining the quahog more closely, using more advanced methods, the researchers have found the animal was actually 100 years older than they first thought. Dr Paul Butler, from the Universitys School of Ocean Sciences, said: “We got it wrong the first time and maybe we were a bit hasty publishing o
6、ur findings back then. But we are absolutely certain that weve got the right age now.” The mollusc was born in 1499 just seven years after Columbus discovered America and before Henry VIII had even married his first wife, Catherine of Aragon in 1509. A quahogs shell grows by a layer every year, in t
7、he summer when the water is warmer and food is plentiful. It means that when its shell is cut in half, scientists can count the lines in a similar way that trees can be dated by rings in their trunks. Jan Heinemeier, associate professor at the University of Denmark, who helped date Ming, told Scienc
8、e Nordic: “The fact that we got our hands on a 507-year-old animal is incredibly fascinating, but the really exciting thing is of course everything we can learn from studying the mollusk.” 21. At first, the scientists found that _. A. The ocean quahog got a deadly diseaseB. The growth rings inside w
9、ere so close togetherC. it was accurate to count the growth rings outside D. The ocean quahog was 400 years old22. Why did the scientists open the ancient clam up?A. To count the growth rings outside of the clam.B. To study how old the clam was.C. To see the structure of it.D. To give an immediate o
10、peration on it.23. The sixth paragraph is mainly about_. A. How to calculate the age of a treeB. Why a quahogs shell grows by a layer each yearC. How to calculate the age of a quahogD. Why a quahog likes it when the water is warmer 24. Where does the text probably come from?A. A magazine of marine l
11、ife. B. A travel brochure.C. A biography. D. A science fiction.(B) One summer I was driving from my hometown of Tahoe City, California, to New Orleans. In the middle of the desert, I came upon a young man standing by the roadside. He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove ri
12、ght by him. There was a time in the country when youd be considered a stupid person if you passed by somebody in need. Now you are a fool for helping. With gangs, drug addicts, murderers, thieves everywhere, “I dont want to get involved” has become a national motto.Several states later I was still t
13、hinking about the hitch-hiker(免费搭车的人). Leaving him standing in the desert did not bother me so much. What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision. I never even lifted my foot off the accelerator(加速器). Does anyone stop any more? I wondered. I recalled Blanche DuBoiss family line: “I hav
14、e always depended on the kindness of the strangers”. Could anyone rely on the kindness of the strangers these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey from coast to coast without any money, relying only on the good will of his fellow Americans. What kind of Americans would he find
15、? Who would feed him, shelter him, and carry him down the road?The idea interested me. So I decided to travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny. It would be a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar. I would only accept offers of rides, food and a place to rest my hea
16、d. My final destination would be Cape Fear in North Carolina, a symbol of all the fears Id have to conquer during the trip.I rose early on September 6, 1994, and headed for the Golden Gate Bridge with a 50-pound pack on my back and a sign displaying my destination to passing vehicles: “America”.For
17、six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4,223 miles across 14 states. As I traveled, folks were always warning me about someplace else. In Montana they told me to watch out for the cowboys in Wyoming; in Nebraska they said people would not be as nice as in Iowa. Yet I was amazed by peoples readines
18、s to help a stranger, even when it seemed against their own best interests. 25. Why did the author drive past the young man in the desert without stopping?A.

It w
21、as early spring, and there was a light mist over the trees and fields. The other young fellows and I were feeding at the lower end of the field when we heard the distant cry of dogs.The oldest among us lifted his head to listen. “There are the hounds(猎犬)”, he said, and immediately raced off. The res
22、t of us followed him to the top of the field where we could see several fields beyond. Soon the dogs were all racing down the field next to ours, making a loud “yoyoyoyo” sound. After then came men on horses, some in green coats. Suddenly, the dogs became silent and ran around with their noses to th
23、e ground. “Theyve lost the smell of the hare.” said the old horse. “Perhaps it will escape.” But the dogs began their “yoyoyoyo” again and came at full speed towards our field. Just then a hare, wild with fear, ran towards the trees. The dogs jumped over the stream and ran across the field, followed
24、 by the huntsmen. Six or eight jumped their horses over the stream, close behind the dogs. Before the hare could get away, the dogs were upon her with wild cries. We heard a terrible scream, and that was the end of the hare. One of the men picked her up and held her by the leg. She was covered in bl
25、ood, but all the huntsmen seemed pleased. I was so greatly surprised that at first I did not see what was happening by the stream but when I did look, I saw a sad sight. Two fine horses were down, one in the stream struggling to stand up and the other on the grass with one of his legs broken. One ri
26、der, who seemed unhurt, was climbing out of the water, but the other lay quite still. “His neck is broken,” said my mother. “I cant understand why men are so fond of this sport. They often hurt themselves and ruin good horses, all for one hare that they could get more easily in other ways. But we ar
27、e only horses, and dont know why men do these things.” They carried the dead rider to our masters house, and then came back to the black horse on the grass. The animal was in great pain and one of his legs was broken. Someone ran to our masters house and came back to the horse with a gun. Soon after

The key to a stress-free trip is having a backup plan. Fly non-stop. The wor
31、st problems involve connections, so it is important to take non-stop flights whenever possible. If you do have to make a connection, try to route through a southern city, where snowstorms and de-icing delays will be less likely. Always allow at least two to three hours for flight connections. Check
32、the weather. Check the weather in your connecting city, not just the arrival and departure city. If your departure flight is cancelled because of weather, you can go home or back to your hotel. Airlines promise to get you on the next available flight, not the next flight. That could be several days
33、later on a sold-out holiday weekend. Go early. The earlier in the day you fly, the better your chance of getting rebooked the same day after a missed connection. It will also put you ahead of stranded(滞留的) passengers who arrive later. Rebook immediately. As soon as your flight is delayed or cancelle
34、d, get on the phone and rebook your flight instead of waiting at the ticket counter. If your rebooking is delayed, call or ask your travel agent to find a seat on another carrier, and then ask your original carrier to endorse your ticket to the new airline.

35、ften do. Learn more at www. dot. gov/ airconsumer/ fly-rights. Ship bags. A few days before your flight, ship suitcases or holiday gifts to your destination by a documented express service.
