Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked fo
2、r everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other. War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away!Why under my bed!” Dea
3、fened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder. The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was
4、 seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and
5、 swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didnt notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”Kate and I stayed roommates

9、Some people believe that they cant help putting on weight as they get older, while others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths:Ill never lose weightI come from a fat familyWrong!While we cant change the body type we are born with, we cant blam
10、e our genes for making us fat. Theres plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercising too little.I am fat because I burn calories slowlyWrong!Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism (新陈代谢). In fact, althoug
11、h fat people consume more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat!Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately.Exercise is boringWrong!Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively. The key is to develop a balanced and varied progr
12、am thats fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different route. If you do yoga, try a tai chi class. If you like swimming, set yourself a distance or time challenge.No pain, no gainWrong!Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you somethings wrong, a
13、nd continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury.

14、hat does the author think about being fat?A. It is the family genes that make people fat.B. People are fat because they consume too little energy.C.

What is the purpose of the passage?A. To declare the importance of keeping fit.B. To clarify some misconceptions about fatness and exe
17、rcise.C. To confirm what has long been believed about keeping fit.D. To explain some medical facts about being fat and doing exercise.CThe idea of being able to walk on water has long interested humans greatly. Sadly, biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid
18、we simply weigh too much, and all our mass pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink. However, several types of animals can walk on water. One of the most interesting is the common basilisk Basilicus basilicus , a lizard (蜥蜴) native to Central a
19、nd South America. It can run across water for a distance of several meters, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the waters surface with its feet. The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward. For humans to do this, wed need huge feet that we could bring up to our ea
20、rs in order to create adequate “hitting.”But fortunately there is an alternative: cornflour. By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water (and it does take a lot), you can create a “non-Newtonian” liquid that doesnt behave like normal water. Now, if the surface of the water is hit hard
21、enough, particles (粒子) in the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can walk across the surface of an adequately thick liquid of cornflour.Fun though all this may sound, its still rather messy and better re
22、ad about in theory than carried out in practice. If you must do it, then keep the water wings handy in case you start to sinkand take a shower afterward!29. Walking on water hasnt become a reality mainly because humans _.A. are not interested in itB. have biological limitationsC. have not invented p
23、roper toolsD. are afraid to make an attempt30. What do we know about Basilicus basilicus from the passage?A. It is light enough to walk on water.B. Its huge feet enable it to stay above water.C. It can run across water at a certain speed.D. Its unique skin keeps it from getting wet in water.31. What
24、 is the function of the cornflour according to the passage?A. To create a thick liquid.B. To turn the water into solid.C. To help the liquid behave normally.D. To enable the water to move rapidly.32. What is the authors attitude toward the idea of humans walking on water?A. It is risky but beneficia
25、l.B. It is interesting and worth trying.C. It is crazy and cannot become a reality.D. It is impractical though theoretically possible.DOne moment it was quiet and calm in the forest, the next, the air was charged with tension. The elephant had heard the distant alarm calls of animals and her mood su
26、ddenly changed. I urged the elephant deeper into the forest. We sounded like a forest firecrackling, snapping, trail-blazing. But through all the noise came a sharp warning cry. The elephant stopped and we heard it againthe tell-tale call of a spotted deer. I looked quickly around the shadows of the
27、 forest. Rays of sunlight shone through tree branches, beneath which the patchwork (交错) of green plants and shadows-within-shadows would make tiger stripes (条纹) look more attractive. Apart from an occasional noise from the elephants stomach, the forest was silent. Gradually, the tension slipped from
28、 our bodies. The elephant seized a nearby branch and put it into her mouth. I reached forward and gently moved my hand over the elephants neck;there was a soft part, free of wrinkles and hairs, behind her ear.This was my fourth time to sense the aura of the forest in Corbett, although I saw no tiger
29、s in the end. Located at the foot of the Himalayan mountains, Corbett is home to about 135 Bengal tigers, but the forest seemed to be guarding their whereabouts (出没处), a silent reminder of their secrecy and rarity. Still, I was happy enough touching the elephant behind the ear. If I had so desperate
30、ly wanted to see a tiger, I could have gone to a zoo. After all, spotting tigers merely confirms their beauty;tracking them can make you aware of something more.33. Which of the following was a clear signal of alarm?A. The elephant stopped.B. A spotted deer called.C. The elephant seized a branch.D.
31、The forest was silent for a while.34. The author begins his account of the tour in the forest mainly by _.A. describing various soundsB. comparing different animalsC. listing different activitiesD. introducing various plants35. What does the underlined part “to sense the aura” most probably mean?A.
32、To see the diversity.B. To enjoy the scenery.C. To feel the atmosphere.D. To experience the freedom.第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Secret codes (密码)keep messages private。Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially wh
33、en information is sent by computer. People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 36 Code breaking never lags(落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography. There are three main types of cryptography. 37 For example, the first letters o
34、f “My elephant eats too many eels” Spell out the hidden message “Meet me.”38 You might represent each letter with a number, For example, Lets number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 20 13 5.” A code
35、 uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 39 For example, ”bridge“ might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.” 40 However, it is also hard to keep a code boo
