These days, most people go straight to Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia. But how reliable is it? Theres no den
19、ying the popularity and usefulness of Wikipedia, It attracts as many as 78 million visitors every month, and the site is available in more than 270 different languages. Its one of the most comprehensive resources available,which includes almost all details,facts and information that may be concerned
20、. Its got much more information than an ordinary encyclopedia. The site is updated on a daily basis by thousands of people around the world, Anyone with an Internet connection can log on and edit the contents or add a new page. And you dont need any formal training. Of course, there are some control
21、s. Wikipedia has a team of more than 1,500 administrators who check for false information. And main targets for harmful comments(such as politicians) are off-limits to public editing. But with more than l6 million articles to keep an eye on,it isnt easySo,while Wikipedia benefits from being constant
22、ly updated with information from all over the world, its also open to “vandals”(破坏他人财产者). Some of the damage is easy to notice. One person drew devil horns and a moustache on Microsoft chairman Bill Gates photo, while another edited Greek philosopher Platos biography to say he was a “Hawaiian weathe
23、r man who is widely believed to have been a student of Barney the purple Dinosaur and to have been deeply influenced by his dog,Cutie.” But other things are harder to spot. The most common form of vandalism involves adding tiny items of false information into the biography of a famous person. Unbeli
24、evably, some of this misinformation has appeared in newspapers,with The Daily Mail,The Guardian and The Independent all having fallen victim to the dirty ticks. For example,in an article about British comedian Sir Norman Wisdom, one newspaper claimed that he co-wrote Dame Vera Lynns wartime hit “The
25、rell be Bluebirds over the White Cliffs of Dover” He did no such thing. And in another article, it was reported that TV Theme tune composer Ronnie Hazlehurst had written the S Club 7 hit “Reach” Once again, not true. So,if youre going to use any information from Wikipedia, make sure you double-check
26、 it first.41. Which of the following would the author of the passage most probably agree with? A. Though popular and widely used,Wikipedia provides little information that is reliable. B.

What does “off-limits” (paragraph 2) mean in “And main targets for harmful comments (such as politicians) are off-limits to public editing”? A. welcome B. open C. not accessi
28、ble D. not convenient43. We cart learn from the passage that A. Because of its popularity, 78million people from 270 counties visit Wikipedia monthly B. Updated by people around the world,the site is more likely to be damaged by hackers C. Anyone who has access to the internet can edit any contents
29、of Wikipedia as they like D. The primary job of the administrators is to make sure true information is conveyed44. Whats the writers attitude to Wikipedia? A. critical B. doubtful C. objective D. negative45. Paragraph 5 is mainly to tell us A. It is really difficult to find out tiny items of false i
30、nformation B. No matter how famous the papers are,they can also be cheated C. You can never be careful enough while searching for information D. It was Sir Norman Wisdom who wrote the S Club 7kit “Reach”BBelow is a page from The AliExpress Buyer ProtectionWhy AliExpress Buyer Protection? Your money

42、y is safe from scammers D. negotiations with suppliers are possible49. Where can we probably come across such a passage? A. In a newspaper B. In a magazine C. In a research paper D. On the internetC Recent developments in astronomy have made it possible to detect planets in our own Milky Way and in
43、other galaxies. This is a major achievement because,in relative terms,planets are very small and do not give out light. Finding planets is proving hard enough, but finding life on them will prove infinitely more difficult. The first question to answer is whether a planet can actually support life. I
44、n our own solar system,for example,Venus is far too hot and Mars is far too cold to support life. Only the Earth provides ideal conditions,and even here it has taken more than four billion years for plant and animal life to evolve(进化). Whether a planet can support life depends on the size and bright
45、ness of its star, that is its “sun”. Imagine a star up to twenty times larger, brighter and hotter than our own sun. A planet would have to be a very long way from it to be capable(有能力的)of supporting life. On the contrary, if the star were small,the lifesupporting planet would have to have a close o
46、rbit round it and also provide the perfect conditions for life forms to develop. But how would we fund such a planet? At present, there is no telescope in existence that is capable of detecting the presence of life. The development of such a telescope will be one of the great astronomical project of
47、 the twenty-first century It is impossible to look for life on another planet using earthbased telescopes. Our own warm atmosphere and the heat generated(产生)by the telescope would make it impossible to detect objects as small as planets. Even a telescope in orbit round the earth like the very succes
48、sful Hubble telescope,would not be suitable because of the dust particles in our solar system. A telescope would have to be as far away as the planet Jupiter to look for life in outer space because the dust becomes thinner the further we travel towards the outer edges of our own solar system. Once w
49、e detected a planet,we would have to find a way of blocking out the light from its star, so that we would be able to “see” the planet properly and analyze its atmosphere. In the first instance, we would be looking for plant life,rather than “little green men” . The life forms most likely to develop
50、on a planet would be bacteria. It is bacteria that have generated the oxygen we breathe on earth. For most of the earths history they have been the only form of life on our planet. As Earth-dwellers,we always cherish the hope that we will be visited by little green men and that we will be able to co
51、mmunicate with them. But this hope only exists in science fiction. If we were able to discover lowly forms of life like bacteria on another planet,it would completely change our view of ourselves. As Daniel Goldin of NASA observed,“Finding life elsewhere would change everything. No human efforts or
52、thought would be unchanged by it.”50. Why are planets in other solar systems much more difficult to detect than stars? A. Because of the dust particles in our own solar system B. Because of the limitations of earth-based telescope C. Because even the Hubble is not powerful enough to see beyond the M
53、ilky Way D. Because planets are small and dark,and stars are large and radiant51. The word “infinitely”(paragraph l) tail best be replaced by . A. occasionally B. probably C. extremely D. slightly52. What do we know about the kind of planet,other than our own,that might be able to support life? A. I
54、t will orbit closely round its star B. It will be at least four billion years old C. Its distance from its star will be such that it has a moderate temperature D. It will have an atmosphere capable of supporting bacteria53. A telescope capable of finding life on other planets would have to be . A. f
55、ar enough from the center of our solar system not to be affected by dust B. infinitely more powerful than even the very successful Hubble C. orbiting in a different solar system along way away from our own D. on the planet Jupiter, on the edge of our solar system54. When the writer says “The develop
56、ment of such a telescope will be one of the great astronomical project of the twenty-first century,” he means A. scientists of the 21st century must work on such a project B. there is still a long way to go to develop such a telescope C. we must develop such a telescope to observe other planets D. s
57、uch a telescope will be developed in the 21st century55. It can be inferred from the passage that A. the Hubble telescope is suitable for any space exploration B. we humans will be visited by little green men C. finding life on another planet will be shocking news D. no achievement has been made in
58、astronomyD It was a cold evening,the night before Halloween,when something happened in my town that no one will ever forget. During lunchtime at school,some girls who were my brothers friends told him about a plan that they had to toilet paper a guys house. They had already been playing pranks(恶作剧)
59、on this guy,and they were laughing about what his house would look like when they were through with it. My brother told me later that he knew what they were planning on doing was wrong,but he didnt say anything to the girls. Now, he wishes he would have That night my brothers six friends stayed over
60、night at one of the girls houses. In the middle of the night,they sneaked out of the house. They piled into one of the gifts small blue car and set off to play their little prank. When they got to the guys house, everything went as planned-until they got caught. The guy that they were playing the pr
61、ank on came outside and saw them. Laughing,they all ran to the ear and hopped in,hoping to get away. The guy got into his car and chased after them,trying to identify them. He was right on their tail,and it scared the girls really badly, They were not sure what he would do to them if he caught them,
62、 so they went faster Then,when they were turning on a blind curve in the road,they lost control of the car and hit a tree head-on. Three of the girls were ejected from the car and were killed instantly. The other three girls were seriously injured. One of the girls had just enough strength to get ou
63、t of the car and go to a nearby house. The people who answered the door were afraid of her and didnt even believe that there had been an accident. They said,“Yeah, right,you really got into a wreck,”and they would not call the police. The three girls that died were all honor roll students and were l
64、ooking ahead to doing something great with their lives. But all of their dreams were shattered when they hit the tree on that cold night. Only one of my brothers friends was wearing a seat belt,and she was one of the survivors. Now when ever I get into a car, I think about the accident and put on my
65、 seat belt. The guy that chased them went to court. All he got was a ticket for running a stop sign and for speeding. I often wonder if he feels anything at all about the death of the girls in that car that he chased. My brother feels bad that he didnt say anything to his friends that day when they
66、told him what they were planning on doing. They still might have gone on their mission regardless of what he said,but he might have saved his friends lives. Well never knowSo many people have suffered because of a stupid act that was never meant to go wrong. The only good thing that came from this t
67、ragic event is that the mother of one of the deceased girls is setting up a teen center in town in memory of the girls who died. Now there will be a place for teens. Maybe that will keep some of them from getting into situations like this by providing a place to hang out and have fan, to talk to eac
68、h other, and hopefully five them a chance to help them think before they act.56. “Now, he wishes he would have” (paragraph 1) means A. my brother thinks he should be blamed for their accident B. my brother thinks he should have told the guy about the little prank C. my brother feels bad that he didn
69、t try to stop the girls playing their prank D. my brother thinks he should have told them about the potential danger57. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. the consequence that the girls prank led to B. the people who didnt care about others C. the terrible results when a car hits a tree head-on
70、D. the danger of chasing after a fast car58. All the guy got was a ticket for running a stop sign and for speeding because A. he didnt break the traffic rules on purpose B. he was not responsible for the girls accident C. he had the right to chase after the girls D. he didnt feel anything at all abo
71、ut the girls death59. When the girls were planning the little prank,. A. they didnt expect it would be so exalting B. they should have planned more carefully C. they should have taken my brothers advice D. they didnt expect it would go wrong60. The passage is meant to tell us A. Never speed B. Never
72、 play pranks C. Think before you act D. Well begun,half done第二节:下面文章有5处(第6165题)需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合各段意思的小标题,并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中只有一项是多余选项。ADont be a martyr(牺牲者)BTeach them simplicityC.

73、viously, a great mom loves her kids,takes care of their basic physical and emotional needs,and spends quality time with them. But what are the subtler(微妙的), less obvious ways to become a great mom?61. You dont have to give up your own passions and interests once you become a mom. Its important that
74、you find time for what you love to do Reading, writing, exercising should take precedence over others. Find a way to incorporate these into your routine. Easier said than done,I know, but you should at least aim to keep doing what you love,even if you dont get to do it as often as before. If you tak
75、e care of your own needs,you will be happier and will function better as a mom.62. The kids dont ask for it,they dont need it,and they, certainly dont need to pay the price that comes with being mothered by a martyrNeed some time alone? Let the kids watch TV for all hour and go and read a book. Feel
76、 like you havent had adult interaction in ages? Leave them with Dad for the evening and make plans to have dinner with a friend. Getting to the point where you are extremely exhausted is not good for you and for your kids.63. This is true for life in general,and is a major personal goal of mine,rega
77、rdless of motherhood. Striving for perfection is always a bad idea, because life is messy and unpredictable and full of surprises. Trying to create perfection,or to maintain complete control,is simply impossible and should never be your goal. Once you become a mom,life is messier and crazier than ev
78、er before,so its more important than ever to let go of that perfectionism. You need to accept that the house will sometimes be untidy, that once in a while dinner will be takeout,and that the kids will sometimes have to entertain themselves while you recharge and regroup.64 You will do them a huge f
79、avor, if you teach them at a young age to avoid associating happiness with the accumulation(积累)of material possessions. The younger they are,the more likely they are to listen to you,so start early. When its time to get rid of clutter(混乱),let your child(teens or pre-teens) be part of the process,and
80、 talk about how you dont need all that stuffLet your child know that shopping is a necessary evil,something that you do when you really need something. Instead of buying books, you can borrow books at the library, Reuse as much as you can.65. Its very likely to help your child in a way that robs the
81、m of the opportunity to help themselves. At every development stage your child reaches,he can do things by himselfIf you do them for him,you are not really helping him,but rather holding him back. Gently teach him independence and let him do what he can do, and what is appropriate for him to do,by h

Before the tea was serving,we talked to each other happilyWhen the waiter went to us with the tea, we didnt see him Unfortunately, Susan raises her hand to comb her hair just while the waiter bent to put the plate on the table.
