14、文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AWhat if you could fly like a bird just by thinking happy thoughts? Or you could disappear to a faraway land, never grow old and fight pirates every day? For Peter Pan and his friends, the Lost Boys, these dreams come true.More than 100 years after this playful b
15、oy was “born”, Peter Pan and his friends are to continue their adventure in a sequel(续集)to J.M. Barries original novel. “Peter Pan in Scarlet”(重返梦幻岛),written by British author Geraldine McCaughrean, was published earlier this month.The sequel brings all the original characters back. Peter Pans frien
16、ds, the Lost Boys, are now grown up and live in the real world. Whats more, at the end of the first book, Peter Pan thinks he has killed his enemy, Captain Hook. But ,new readers discover he is not so dead at all.For those who are unfamiliar with the original story, Peter Pan lives in faraway Neverl
17、and with a group of orphans. But they are eager for a real mother and Peter Pan flies to London with a fairy(仙女), Tinkerbell, to find one. They visit a young girl, Wendy, who loves to read stories, and bring her and her two brothers back to Neverland to live with them. In Neverland, children never h
18、ave to grow up, and there are no parents to tell them what to do.Many teenagers dream of a world where they dont have to grow old and take responsibility. But, the author explains such a world is not the paradise(乐园)when it first appears: adventures can be scary and often dangerous, and, though we a
19、ll sometimes dream of running away, we all need someone to love and look after us too.26. The passage is written to _.A. tell you about an unrealistic dreamB. introduce novels about Peter PanC. analyze the difficulties of growing upD. explain why Peter Pan cant grow old27. “Peter Pan in Scarlet” is
20、about _.A. how some children fought against the pirateCaptain HookB. the carefree life the children led in NeverlandC. how peter Pan looked for a real mother for the Lost BoysD. how the Lost Boys return to Neverland for more adventures28. The stories of Peter Pan and the Lost Boys reflect that those
21、 at their age _.A. are ready to shoulder responsibilityB. choose adventures in faraway placesC. long for independence but also need someone to love themD. cant wait to grow up29. The place Peter Pan and his friend stay is named Neverland probably because .A. they never have to grow upB. they dont ha
22、ve parentsC. they never have troublesD. they never need to worry30. Peter Pan flies to London _.A. to find a fairy B. to visit a young girlC. to find a real motherD. to earn money BThe common cold is the worlds most widespread illness, which is plagues(疫病) that flesh receives.The most widespread fal
23、lacy(谬误) of all is that colds caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer fro
24、m them forever. But they do not. And in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes. During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in
25、the trenches(战壕), cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds.In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp(集中营), naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds. At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part
26、in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room. Some wore wet socks all day while others ex
27、ercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter？Despite the most pains-taking research, no one h
28、as yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on. No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors(止痛片) such as
29、 aspirin, but all they do is relieve the symptoms(症状).31. The writer offered _ examples to support his argument.A. 4 B. 5 C. 6 D. 332. Which of the following does not agree with the chosen passage?A. The Eskimos do not suffer from colds all the time.B. Colds are not caused by cold. C. People suffer
30、from colds just because they like to stay indoors.D. A person may catch a cold by touching someone who already has one.33. Arctic explorers may catch colds when _.A. they are working in the isolated arctic regionsB. they are writing reports in terribly cold weatherC. they are free from work in the i
31、solated arctic regionsD. they are coming into touch again with the outside world34 Volunteers taking part in the experiments in the Common Cold Research Unit _.A. suffered a lot B. never caught coldsC. often caught colds D. became very strong35. The passage mainly discusses _.A. the experiments on t
32、he common cold B. the cures about the common coldC. the reason and the way people catch colds D. the continued spread of common coldsCMost people hate change, which is sad since we often go through intense changes in life. And for some of us, even the smallest changes can upset our day. So the quest
33、ion is: Why do most of us find making adjustments to our lives so hard?Fear of change is nothing new. Over a century ago, the Parisians were unhappy over a particular addition to their city: the Eiffel Tower. In fact, the citizens were so angry about the plans for the tower that they protested its c
34、onstruction. As strange as it may seem, their anger was completely natural. They were given no choice about the huge change that was going to be made, so they became angry.But we get upset over changes even when we do have a say in the matter and think about them carefully. Changes are brought about
35、 every day by the decisions we make: which school to attend, which job to take, whom to marry. Voluntary changes also make most of us uneasy because we dont know how those changes will affect our future.People have discovered that the key to overcoming the fear and anger associated with change is to
36、 be flexible. When they are flexible, people can adapt to new situations more easily. Being flexible is especially important in the 21st century as technology makes change occur faster than ever before. Those who oppose change, especially with technology in the workplace, may find themselves out of
37、a job.When change comes, and you have no choice but to face it, embrace it. A positive attitude helps a lot. In fact, the change may turn out to be the best thing for you. That new job you got may end up being much better than your old one. You may make the best friends of your life in the new city
38、you moved to. Dont merely focus on how you feel about change; instead decide to accept the change. The change is the reality, and its up to you whether the change will be a success or a failure. You never know your next change may be your lifes Eiffel Tower!36. Why did the building of the Eiffel Tow
39、er make the Parisians unhappy?A. Because they didnt like the design of the Eiffel Tower.B. Because they couldnt avoid accepting the Eiffel Tower.C. Because it was no use building the Eiffel Tower.D. Because the Eiffel Tower seemed strange.37. According to the passage, it can be inferred that what wo
40、nt disturb us are _.A. the changes that have agreement with ones willB. the small changes we meet in our daily lifeC. the changes whose effect we can predict and controlD. the changes that we discuss or consider thoroughly38. How should we overcome negative emotions that the changes bring?A. We are
41、not supposed to face the changes and let them alone.B. We should actively accustom ourselves to the new circumstance.C. We should not take the changes seriously and avoid them as much as possible.D. We should know that the changes merely bring us bad influence.39. What does the underlined sentence i
42、n the last paragraph mean?A. The change will probably make you fail like the Eiffel Tower.B. The change is like the Eiffel Tower which is not good for our future life.C. Your future life is never known just like the Eiffel Tower unknown to the Parisians.D. Your future life is likely to be a great ac
43、hievement due to the change.40. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Psychology of Change B. The ways to Overcome the FearC. Changes That Disturb Us D. The Bad Effect of ChangesDHow can you find out what is going on inside a persons body without opening the patients body up? Regular X rays
44、can show a lot. CAT scans can show even more. They can give a complete view of body organs.What is a CAT scan? CAT stands for a kind of machine. It is a special X-ray machine that gets a 360-degree picture of a small area of a patients body.Doctors use X rays to study and determine diseases and inju
45、ries within the body, X rays can find a foreign object inside the body or take pictures of some inside organs to be X-rayed.A CAT scanner, however, uses a group of X rays to give a cross-sectional（横截面）view of a specific part of the body. A fine group of X rays is scanned across the body and around t
46、he patient from many different directions. A computer studies the information from each direction and produces a clear cross-sectional picture on a screen. This picture is then photographed for later use. Several cross sections, taken one after another, can give clear “photos” of the entire body or
47、of any body organs. The latest CAT scanners can even give clear pictures of active, moving organs, just as a fast-action camera can “stop the action”, giving clear pictures of what appears unclear to the eye. And because of the 360-degree pictures, CAT scans show clear and complete views of organs i
48、n a manner that was once only shown during operation or examination of a dead patient.Frequent appearance before X rays can cause skin burns, cancer or other damage to the body. Yet CAT scans actually dont cause the patient to more radiation than regular X rays do. CAT scans can also be done without
49、 getting something harmful into the patient, so they are less risky than regular X rays.CAT scans provide exact, detailed information. They can quickly find such a thing as bleeding inside the brain. They are helping to save lives.41What is NOT true of a CAT scan?AIt is safer than regular X rays.BIt
50、 makes use of computer techniques.CIt can stop the action of an organ for a short time.DIt gives clear pictures of active, moving body parts.42The underlined words “a foreign object”（Para 3）most probably refer to .Aa badly injured part inside the bodyBa new thing that is unknown to the doctorCa stra
