Snake meat in various flavors(风味) is often seen in restaurant advertisements. Eating snake seems to be now in vogu
9、e(盛行), and 17 you havent eaten snake yet, you are considered “ out of date”. But I wonder whether all the trends are worth 18 (follow). Some people may defend themselves 19 saying that snake meat is nutritious. But these people dont realize that many parasites (寄生虫), 20 (find) inside snakes, will do
10、 harm to our health. According to a survey, about 1,000 tons of snakes are eaten every year in China and sometimes as many as 10 tons of snakes 21 (serve) on dinner tables in Shenzhen in a single day! These figures warn us that if no 22 (act) is taken, the number of snakes will drop and that will ma

12、最佳选项. ALondon has more than nine million visitors every year. They come and visit some of the most famous places in England: Big Ben, the Tower of London and the River Thames. You can see some of the most interesting places in London by getting on the tour buses. Or you can take a ride on the London
13、 Eye. This large wheel slowly takes you 135m above the River Thames. The River Thames is Londons main waterway. It has shaped the capitals landscape, history and geography. So one of the best ways of knowing more about the city is to take a trip along the river. The clock tower of the Houses of Parl
14、iament, Big Ben, has become one of the main symbols of London. The sound of the bell, which you can hear at the beginning of many television and radio programmes, has become well-known throughout the nation. No visit to London is complete without a look at the Tower of London, in the eastern part of
15、 the city. After Big Ben, the Tower may be Londons most visited tourist spot. Directly south is Tower Bridge, which is more than100 years old. Along all the palaces in London, Buckingham Palace is the most famous. It has been the main London home of the royal family since Queen Victoria moved there
16、in 1873. You can visit some of the rooms in August and September. And most mornings of the year you can watch the soldiers outside changing the guard. About one hour by train out of London is the Tower of Windsor. Here you can visit another of the Queens homes-Windsor Castle. There was a fire in 199
17、2 and many of the rooms were badly burned. But now they are full of beautiful pictures, tables and chairs again. Sightseeing in London is great, but it can get very tiring. So, the best way to start the day is to fill up with an English breakfast.You can buy an English breakfast in nearly every hote
18、l, and at many restaurants and cafes. An English pub is a good place to stop for lunch and a drink. You can get hot or cold food and try one of Englands many ales(浓啤酒). Fish and chips are also a traditional English meal. So look out for fish and chip shops in cities as well as by the sea. Or you can
19、 sit outside one of the many roadside pubs and cafes in London, and simply watch the busy world go by.26. We can learn from the text that _. A.Windsor Castle has been rebuilt B. the Big Ben can be heard everywhere in London C. only some of the hotels in England serve breakfast. D. the London Eye can
20、 carry you where you like to go27. Which place may be Londons most visited tourist spot? A. Buckingham Palace B. The Tower of London C. Big Ben D. The River Thames28. If you go to London in December, you will not be able to _ A. visit Windsor Castle B. tour the Buckingham Palace C. tour the city alo
21、ng the River Thames D. watch the soldiers outside the Buckingham Palace changing guards.29. The underlined word “landscape” (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to _. A. sights B. interests C. characteristics D. culture30. The whole passage mainly introduces the _. A. tourism in London B. tourists in
22、 London B. history in London D. sightseeing in London B. Inventor, physicist, surveyor, astronomer, biologist, artist Robert Hooke was all there and more. Some say he was the greatest experimental scientist of the 17th century. In the course of his work, he cooperated with famous men of science like
23、 Isaac Newton, and the great architect, Christopher Wren. Hookes early education began at home, under the guidance of his father. He entered Westminster School at the age of 13, and from there went to Oxford, where he came in contact with some of the best scientists in England. Hooke impressed them
24、with his skills at designing experiments and inventing instruments. In 1662, at he age of 28, he was named Curator of Experiments at the newly formed Royal Society of London- meaning that he was responsible for demonstrating(展示) new experiments at the societys weekly meeting. Hooke accepted the job,
25、 even though he knew that the society had no money to pay him! Watching living things through a microscope was one of his favourite pastimes(消遣). He invented a compound microscope(显微镜) for this purpose. One day while observing a cork(软木塞) under a microscope, he saw honeycomb-like structures. There w
26、ere cells the smallest units of life. In fact, it was Hooke who invented the term “cell” as the boxlike cells of the cork reminded him of the cells of a monastery(修道院). Another achievement of Hookes was his book Micrographia, which introduced the enormous potential(潜力) of the microscope. It contains
27、 fascinating drawings of the thing he saw under the microscope. The book also includes, among other things, ideas on gravity, light and combustion(燃烧) that may have helped scientists like Newton when they were developing their own theories on these phenomena(现象).Hooke made valuable contributions to
28、astronomy too. A crater(火山口) on the moon is named after him in honour of his services to this branch of science.31. We can infer from paragraph 2 that Hooke is _. A. friendly B. sociable C. creative D. helpful32. Which is the possible reason why Hooke accepted the job as Curator of Experiments? A. H
29、e liked designing experiments. B. His family needed his support. C. He wanted to please the famous scientists in England. D. His parents couldnt afford his education.33. The cell got its name because of _. A. its use B. its shape C. Hookes favourites D. Hookes experiences34. Which of the following i
30、s true according to the text? A. Hooke went to Oxford in 1645. B. Hooke was well paid in the Royal Society of London. C. Hooke made a contribution to medicine. D. Hookes book Micrographia may have helped Newton.35. The last paragraph is to prove that _. A. Hooke was the greatest experimental scienti
31、st of the 17th century B. Hooke was good at making discoveries C. Hookes contributions were not limited to one field D. Hooke was one of the greatest astronomers C If there is one thing I am sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspa
32、pers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation. The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes n
33、ews is what affects our lives- the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. Its already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因) en
34、gineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do - as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are. Its quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送) electroni
35、cally from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I am pretty sure that it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read- sports and international news, etc. I think people have got
36、it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(煤体). They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasnt happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air.
37、 And as for the Internet, it is never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.36. What is the best title for the text? A. The Best Way to Get News B. The Changes of Media C. Make Your Own Newspaper D. The Future of Newspapers37. In the writers opinion, in the future, _. A. more big politi
38、cal affairs, wars and disasters will make news B. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer. C. newspapers will cover more scientific research D. more and more people will watch TV.38. What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself? A. Sports and international news.
39、B. A menu of important news C. The most important news. D. What you are interested in39. From the text, we can infer that _. A. newspapers will win the competition among the different media B. newspapers will stay with us together with other media C. television will take the place of newspapers. D.
40、some media will die out40. The underlined phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means _. A. depend on B. compete with C. fight with D. kill of D Many scientists are now exploring the idea of going to live on Mars. Some other scientists from the MASA AMES Center(美国宇航局) have already started the crea
41、tion of a “Mars town” and many others are in fact already experimenting with it. Of course, these experiments are done on Earth itself but this “Mars town” has an environment practically like that of Mars. The astronauts working in these towns wear their space suit and also do everything they would
42、really have to carry out if they ever go to Mars in the future. But Mars would be like Earth, a temporary（临时的） place for humans. When the Sun starts swallowing up(吞掉) the planets, Mars will disappear only hours after Earth. So Mars only seems to be the ideal place to spread the human beings. It is a
43、lso a good location to send humans if ever there is a disaster on Earth. By saying disaster, I mean asteroids(小行星) hitting and things like that. If we humans do not want to disappear when Earth or Mars gets swallowed up, we will have to go and live beyond the solar system. But are there any planets
44、outside our solar system prepared to support life? Astronomers answer is: “If Earth can support life, why cant other planets do the same too? Astronomers have already discovered a Jupiter(木星)- like planet orbiting a Sun-like star, so why not an Earth-like planet orbiting a Sun-like star? To achieve
45、this goal though, many other problems have to be taken into consideration. How do we transform(改造) a dusty planet like Mars into one more or less like our Earth? How should we go on? There is still a long way to go.41. The “Mars town” mentioned in the passage is _ A. a research base on Mars. B. an e
46、xperimental lab built on Earth. C. a strange place on Mars . D. a town existing in scientists imagination42. We can know from the passage that astronomers probably think _ A. it is impossible to transport humans to other planets. B. there may be an Earth-like planet outside the solar system C. human
47、s will move to the new-found Jupiter-like planet D. theres no need for humans to move beyond the solar system.43.Why would Mars only be a temporary(临时) place for humans? A. The conditions there would be too hard for the human beings B. There would be more disasters like asteroids hitting. C .It woul
48、d disappear when Earth disappeared. D. It would be too hot to live on.44. The underlined word “orbiting” in the fifth paragraph is closest in meaning to “_” A. moving around B. getting close to C. passing by quickly D. going through45. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
49、 A. Mars Town B. Living on Mars C. The Future of Earth D. Where to live in the Future第二节、信息匹配 (共5小题: 每小题2分, 满分10分) 请阅读下列应用文及相关信息, 并按照要求匹配信息。 首先, 请阅读下列招生的信息:A.
