10、s the context.The Yellow River is the 2nd longest river in China (after the Yangtze River) and the 7th longest in the world, at 5,463km. It is called the Yellow River _32_ huge amounts of loess sediment(黄土沉积物) turn the water that colour. So much of this mineral-rich soil ends up in the Yellow River
11、that it can fill the riverbed and thus change the rivers course.The Yellow River is to China_33_ the Nile is to Egypt. It is the cradle of the Chinese _34_, a symbol of enduring glory, and a force of nature both feared and admired. From its _35_ in the 14,000-foot Tibetan highlands, the river sweeps
12、 across the northern plains, _36_ ancestors of Chinese people first learned to cultivate crops and irrigate land, to make porcelain and gunpowder, to build and bury imperial dynasties.But today, _37_ the Chinese call the Mother River is dying. Poisoned by pollution and crowded with dams, it _38_ at
13、its mouth to a lifeless trickle(涓涓细流). There were many days during the 1990s that the river failed to reach the sea at all.The desperate reality of the river is a tragedy _39_ consequences extend far beyond the 150 million people living by it, one of which is a shortage of the one resource no nation
14、 can live without: water.Water has always been _40_ in China, a country with roughly the same amount of water as the United States but nearly five times the population. The shortage is especially severe in the dry north, where nearly half of Chinas population lives on only 15percent of its water. No
15、thing, however, has _41_ the water crisis more than three decades of rapid industrial growth. Just consider what is happening already in the Yellow River Basin. The spread of deserts is creating a dust bowl that may only be compared with _42_ of the American West in the 1930s, driving down grain pro
16、duction and pushing millions of “environmental refugees(难民)”_43_ the land. The poisonous chemicals polluting the waterways-50 percent of the Yellow River is considered biologically dead- have _44_ an outbreak of cancer, birth defects(缺陷), and waterborne disease along their banks. Theses symptoms, if
17、 unchecked, could _45_ Chinas growth and cause a great stir across world markets. Taken together, the long-term impact could be even more destructive. As former Premier Wen Jiabao has put it.the shortage of clean water _46_ “the survival of the Chinese nation.”32A.forB.becauseC.thatD.due to33A.whatB

After all, if it hits, it wont get here for 878 years. Researchers at MITs Lincoln Laboratory also spotted a sp
30、ace rock- about the size of a football field- passing by Earth just 75,000 miles away. Named 2002 MN, it came closer than any similar-size asteroid had in recent years. Giorgini spoke with NEWSWEEKs Adam Piore last week. Here is an excerpt.PIORE:According to your research, is this something we shoul
31、d be worried about?GIORGINI: well, not this particular asteroid, 1950 PA, because its so far off. Its 878 years in the future, but its possible that there are other asteroids we havent discovered yet that could impact sooner. The purpose is to find these things as soon as possible. If there are cent
32、uries of warning, there are many things you can do about the threat. But if you only find out about it the last day or two, or the last year, theres not much you can do.PIORE:What would happen if one of these things hit?GIORGINI:There was an incident where an asteroid nearly the size of 2002 MN hit
33、in Tunguska, Siberia, back in 1908. It exploded in the air and flattened about 800 miles of forested area. 1950 DA would carry about 100,000 megatons(百万吨级) of energy if it hit. It would make a crater(陨石坑)about 10 or 15 miles across and destroy hundreds or thousands of miles around it, kick up dust a
34、nd steam into the atmosphere. Some would even orbit the Earth for a while. It would be a global problem.PIORE:What should we do about 1950 DA?GIORGINI:In hundreds of years, its hard to imagine what ways well have to deal with it. Its sort of like guys 900 years ago trying to plan the interstate high
35、way system. It would probably be more sensible to leave it to future generations. If you have centuries of warning like this, you can just change the way it absorbs and reflects light and heat. Sunlight shines on it and heats one side, and it turns around to the back and the heat radiates off into s
36、pace and sort of pushes on it like a weak rocket. Over centuries, its enough to push it out of the way.51. The main purpose of Piore interviewing Giorgini is _. A.to announce an astonishing prediction B.to publicize the significance of a research C.to warn people of the coming threat D.to create a s
37、ensational effect52. What is Giorgini really worried about? A. Unidentified outer space rocks. B. Undiscovered approaching small asteroids C. The tremendous impact of 2002MN D. The potential threat of 1950 PA.53. Giorgini mentioned the asteroid explosion in Tunguska because he would _. A.compare the
38、 explosion to that of 2002 MN. B.give an impression of an asteroid hitting the earth. C.estimate the property damage a space object caused D.describe a disaster bigger than a nuclear explosion in human history54. Which of the following statements is TURE? A. Ancient people attempted to build main ro
39、ads connecting cities or states. B. Humans are now in a position to take action on 1950 PA. C. One solution Giorgini suggested is to launch a rocket towards 1950 PA and push it away. D. One solution Giorgini suggested is to change the direction of sunlight shining on 1950 PA.CThe wallet is heading f
40、or extinction. As a day-to-day essential, it will die off with the generation who read print newspapers. The kind of shopping-where you hand over notes and count out change in returnnow happens only in the most minor of our retail encounters，like buying a bar of chocolate or a pint of milk from a co
41、mer shop. At the shops where you spend any real money, that money is increasingly abstracted. And this is more and more true, the higher up the scale you go. At the most cutting-edge retail storesVictoria Beckham on Dover Street, for instanceyou dont go and stand at any kind of cash register when yo
42、u decide to pay. The staff are equipped with iPads to take your payment while you relax on a sofa.Which is nothing more or less than excellent service, if you have the money. But across society, the abstraction of the idea of cash makes me uneasy. Maybe Im just old-fashioned. But earning money isnt
43、quick or easy for most of us. Isnt it a bit weird that spending it should happen in half a blink (眨眼) of an eye? Doesnt a walletthat time-honoured Friday-night feeling of pleasing, promising fatnessrepresent something that matters?But Ill leave the economics to the experts. What bothers me about the
44、 death of the wallet is the change it represents in our physical environment. Everything about the look and feel of a walletthe way the fastenings and materials wear and tear and loosen with age, the plasticand paper and gold and silver, and handwritten phone numbers and printed cinema ticketsis the
45、 very opposite of what our world is becoming. The opposite of a wallet is a smartphone of an iPad. The rounded edges, cool glass, smooth and unknowable as pebble (鹅卵石). Instead of digging through pieces of paper and peering into corners, we move our fingers left and right. No more counting out coins
46、. Show your wallet, if you still have one. It may not be here much longer.55. What is happening to the wallet?A) It is disappearing. C) it is becoming costly. B) It is being fattened. D) It is changing in style.56. What makes the author feel uncomfortable nowadays?A) Saving money is becoming a thing
47、 of the past. B) The pleasing Friday-night feeling is fading.C) Earning money is getting more difficult. D) Spending money is so fast and easy.57. Why does the author choose to write about whats happening to the wallet?A) It represents a change in the modern world. B) It has something to do with eve
48、rybodys life.C) It marks the end of a time-honoured tradition. D) It is the concern of contemporary economists.58.What can we infer from the passage about the author?A) He is resistant to social changes. B) He is against technological progress.C) He feels reluctant to part with the traditional walle
49、t.D) He fells insecure in the ever-changing modern world.DWhy do some people live to be older than others？ You know the standard explanations：keeping a moderate diet，engaging in regular exercise，etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity（长寿）? Do some kinds of personalities lea
50、d to longer lives？ A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing， more active and less neuro
51、tic （神经质的） than other people. Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span. These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory： those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resourc
52、es to make it through tough times.Interestingly， however， other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-disciplined，for instance，were no more likely to live to be very old. Also， being open
53、to new ideas had no relationship to long life，which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their ways.Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long lif
54、e，you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.Unfortunately， another recent study shows that your mothers personality may also help determine your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28，000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious，depressed and angry were more likely
55、to feed their kids unhealthy diets. Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when were adults，which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger.Personality isnt destiny（命运），and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. But both studies show that long life isnt just
56、a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.59. The aim of the study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society is_.A）to see whether peoples personality affects their life spanB）to find out if ones lifestyle has any effect on their healthC）to investigate the role of exercise in
57、 living a long lifeD）to examine all the factors contributing to longevity60. What does the author imply about outgoing and sympathetic people？A）They have a good understanding of evolution. B）They are better at negotiating an agreement.C）They generally appear more resourceful. D）They are more likely
58、to get over hardship.61. What finding of the study might prove somewhat out of our expectation？A）Easy-going people can also live a relatively long life.B）Personality characteristics that prove advantageous actually vary with times.C）Such personality characteristics as self-discipline have no effect
59、on longevity.D）Readiness to accept new ideas helps one enjoy longevity.62.What can we learn from the findings of the two new studies？A）Anxiety and depression more often than not cut short ones life span.B）Longevity results from a combination of mental and physical health.C）Personality plays a decisi
60、ve role in how healthy one is.D）Health is in large part related to ones lifestyle.第II 卷（38分）I. Words(10分)Directions: Write the words you have learnt according to the meanings given.
