People 36 information, play games, and share hobby tips. Others buy and sell
17、products. Still others look for friendship, or even love.Some Internet users want 37 just someone to chat with. Theyre looking for 38 love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That 39 depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually 40 . Others fail miserably.Unlike t

Rather, a persons thoughts or at least the thoughts they 43 are what really count. So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star.Usually, this “ 44 ”

20、nships claim that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other intellectually first. Personal appearance doesnt get in the way.But critics of online relationships 48 that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace. Why? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how othe
21、rs view them. Internet users can carefully chosse their words to 49 whatever image they want to give. And they dont have to worry about what their “nonverbal (不用语言表达的)” communication is doing for their image. In a sense, theyre not really themselves. All of this may be fine 50 the relationship stays
22、 in cyberspace. But not 51 a person is a big problem in a love relationship. With so many 52 , its easy to let ones imagination “fill in the blanks.” This surely 53 disappointment when couples meet in person. How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different from the real person.So, 54

27、e during his life. Whether he was escaping from a locked box or making things disappear and reappear, he surely was entertaining. People thought that he must truly have some supernatural powers, but in fact, what Harry really had was drive. Harry was born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1874. His real name
28、 was Ehrich Weiss, the third of five children. His family moved to Wisconsin not long after his birth and when he was nine, he was tying ropes all over his backyard and learning amazing tricks to show his friends and neighbors. He visited the local locksmith, and when he had reached his teens he cou
29、ld pick almost any lock that was made. He also learned how to do card tricks. He and his brother, Theo, would often entertain at local parties and clubs for extra money. When Ehrich was 16, he came across a book that would actually change his life: the biography of Frances greatest magician, Jean Eu
30、gene Robert-Houdin. It showed Ehrich that his hobby of magic and tricks could also be a career. Immediately, he changed his name to Harry Houdini. He and Theo headed out to make a living as magicians.In 1893, they performed at the Chicago Worlds Fair, and after that they traveled around giving magic
31、 shows for anyone willing to listen and pay. Theo grew restless, however, as the jobs became scarce, so he left. His timing was perfect since Harry had just fallen in love with a lovely woman named Bess who was just the right size for slipping in and out of the trunk they used in their magic tricks.
32、 They married immediately and then off they went, traveling with circuses and other road shows. Harry learned more and more tricks and spent much of his time reading and studying all kinds of locks, especially handcuffs. However, no matter what tricks they did or how hard they tried, Bess and Harry
33、were not doing well. They tried to sell their shows for seven years and finally, in desperation, they went to Europe. It was the right move. Harrys persistence and constant practice were about to pay off. To get peoples attention, he walked into police stations and offered to be handcuffed by all th
34、e policemen. They were shocked when he was loose only seconds later. Soon, everyone in Europe was talking about Houdinis astounding skills. He was in high demand and found himself doing more and more dangerous acts. He escaped from a straitjacket hanging upside down over the street; he escaped from
35、locked boxes of all kinds; and, of course, he got out of any kind of handcuffs put on him. After several years in Europe, Bess and Harry returned to the United States in victory. Harry was doing such amazing tricks that people felt he must have special powers. However, few realized how much time he
36、spent practicing and studying. He would do special exercises to keep his body strong, and he would do tricks with his fingers to keep them flexible. He would spend large amounts of time tying and untying knots with his toes! For his underwater tricks, he would get in the bathtub and practice holding
37、 his breath for longer and longer times. Since many of his tricks involved being deep in icy water, he would pour buckets of ice in the tub to get accustomed to working in the cold. The reason that Harry Houdini was such a success was that he practiced and prepared for whatever might happen. When a
38、college student punched him in the abdomen in 1926, however, he wasnt prepared. The punch did internal damage that not even this magician could get out of. Harry died in 1926 at 52 years of age a master of his trade and a true legend. 56. Houdini decided to become a magician after _.A. he read a boo
39、k about a famous magician B. he learned to pick a lock C. he started entertaining at local parties D. he learned to do card tricks57.

50、 ever asked yourself why you have two eyes instead of one, three, or even hundreds as some insects have? Have you wondered why your eyes are set close together on the front of your face rather than on the sides of your head, as on animals like rabbits, antelopes, and horses? The reasons are simple a
51、nd important to the way you see the rest of your world. Your eyes are like two small cameras. A camera catches an image of an object and records this image in miniature on a small piece of film. Similarly, when you look at something, each eye takes in what it sees and sends this image to the back of
52、 the eyeball. From each eye, an optic nerve then sends the image to the brain. Because your eyes are set close together, they view the world from about the same height but from slightly different angles. While your right eye sees an object a little to the right, your left eye sees the same object sl
53、ightly to the left. Working as a team, the eyes send the images to the part of your brain called the cerebral cortex, which combines them into a single, centered image. Seeing with two eyes working together is called stereoscopic vision. This allows you to view the world in three dimensions, or 3-D.
54、 These dimensions are height, width, and depth. Sensing depth allows you to judge the distance between you and the objects you see. It also helps you to adjust to the changing angle at which you see something as you move closer to or farther away from it. As you walk along a sidewalk, for example, s
55、eeing in stereo helps you to know how close you are to the street, how far you need to walk to arrive at a certain building, and how close you are to stepping on a rock or a piece of glass. As your body moves, your eyes give you a continual flow of information about where things are in relation to w
56、here you are. If images are coming from only one eye, however, only two of these dimensions - height and width - can be sensed. A world seen with one eye is thus two-dimensional, as in a photograph. The sense of depth is lacking, making it more difficult to move around safely. Now consider why your
57、two eyes are located on the front of your face. Think of other animals with this same arrangement. Some examples are lions, wolves, and owls. What do these creatures have in common? They are all animals that hunt. These animals have eyes facing directly in front of them. This provides a field of vis
58、ion that is about 180 degrees wide, like a half-circle. This kind of sight is called binocular vision. On the other hand, animals that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head. This provides nearly a 360-degree field of vision. Because these animals need to de ready to run at any moment in orde
59、r to stay alive, they need to see things coming from the sides and from behind. However, without stereoscopic vision, these animals have a more difficult time determining how far away a threat is.64. Which claim from the article is least supported by factual evidence?A. Your eyes are like two small
60、cameras.B. If you think it would be great to have another type of vision . . . think again!C. This allows you to view the world in three dimensions, or 3-D.D. On the other hand, animals that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head.65. This article would most likely be found in a _. A. textbook
61、 about animal behaviorB. popular science or health magazineC. professional magazine for doctorsD. newspapers local news section66. The author of this passage concludes that “seeing in stereo” _.A. is an ability humans are fortunate to haveB. helps people to have better vision than animals haveC. wou
62、ld be better if it allowed for a wider field of visionD. is similar to the way cameras work DPhathon stood impatiently at the heavy golden doors. He ordered the guards, Month and Year, to let him approach his fathers throne. As the doors opened slowly, the suns rays almost blinded him. Phathon prote
63、cted his eyes and felt his way toward Apollos throne. “Come here, my son. Follow my voice,” Apollos voice echoed. “What is so urgent that you have my guards hurrying to do your bidding?” “Father, I have a problem. All of my friends have been teasing me. They dont believe that youre my father or that
64、 you make the sun rise and set,” complained Phathon. Apollo replied, “Oh? That problem again? Well, just to prove it to your friends once and for all, I will satisfy any wish you desire.” “Really? Then I have only one wish,” answered Phathon. “Id like to drive your chariot and make the sun rise tomo
65、rrow morning!” Apollo was horrified. “No, not that! No one but me can drive the chariot. The horses are too powerful!” “You said I could have anything,” murmured Phathon. Bound by his promise, Apollo had to agree. His heart was sick with worry as he ordered Dawn to prepare the horses, Hour and Day,
66、to the Golden Chariot. Phathon could hardly wait to jump in the drivers seat and take the reins(缰绳). He hoped all his friends were watching the sky and waiting for him through the stars. “Wait, my son! There are things you need to know!” cried Apollo. “Oh, Father! You worry too much. Ive often seen
67、you drive. I know what to do,” Phathon answered. Apollo hurried to give directions. “You have never driven my chariot before. You must make the horses stay on the path. If you are too low, you will scorch the earth and large land on it could be thrown into a world of fire.” “I know, Father. Now watc
68、h me take off!” shouted Phathon. Dawn stepped back and released the horses go. The horses were filled with excitement. The sky begged for Dawns light, so she ran toward the horizon to make the darkness fade. As Phathon was about to get on, Apollo took him by the arm and said, “Please listen to me! I
69、f you go too high, you will warm the cold depths of the heavens, and the Bear or Snake or the Scorpion (天蝎星座) will come alive!”Phathon just laughed. “My friends are waiting. Ive got to go!” he shouted. With that, the chariot was off. It was a wild ride. Hour and Day were difficult to control. Phatho
70、n did not have his fathers strong arms or years of experience. The horses wove from side to side and jumped up and down through the heavens, hitting everything in their way. The sun bounced along behind the chariot like a basketball. It scratched the stars and slipped along mountaintops, leaving bur
71、nt remains behind. Phathons friends ran for cover as they watched. Just as his father had warned him, the figures in the sky began to move. Suddenly the Scorpion appeared suddenly before him, but Phathon dashed by in time. The Snake struck out and bit a wheel off the chariot. Apollo, seeing the dest
72、ruction, rushed up toward the heavens, but he was too late! The Bear had waken up from his icy hibernation and seized Phathon before his father could reach him. Apollo took hold of the reins and finally regained control of Hour and Day, but it was years before the earths mountaintops were white with
73、 snow again. The scorched areas became deserts where very little would grow. Phathon became a part of the stars alongside the Bear, where his father could regretfully keep an eye on him.67. Which word can be used to replace the underlined word “scorch”?A. ScratchB. BurnC. HitD. Destroy68. What cause
74、d Apollo to allow Phathon to drive the chariot? A. Apollo wanted to protect Phathon from teasing. B. Phathon dared to approach Apollos throne. C. Apollo was bound by his promise to Phathon. D. Apollo asked Phathon to do it as a favour.69. It can be concluded that this passage is mainly about the con
75、flict between _.A. Goodness and Evil B. Man and NatureC. Strength and Weakness D. Wisdom and Inexperience70. From what point of view is the passage told?A. First person, Apollo B. Third person, limited C. Third person, unnamedD. Third person, Dawn第卷（共35分）第一节 任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容

Some doctors say cough and cold products do not work in children, and they worry about possible risks. F.D.A.
77、 officials say that some reports of problems appear to be the result of giving too much medicine to children. This may lead to serious and life-threatening side effects, especially in children aged two and younger.The products are sold without the need for a doctors approval. Yet cough and cold medi
78、cines can be harmful if people take them more often or in greater amounts than they should. There is a risk, for example, in taking more than one product containing the same active chemicals. Too much cold medicine may affect the heart. Some medicines have also been linked to high blood pressure and
79、 strokes. Products for children may contain medicines that were approved many years ago based on studies in adults. The drug approval process has changed since then. F.D.A. officials have this warning for parents: Do not use cough and cold products in children under two years of age unless a health
80、care provider tells you to. The officials also have other advice. For example, children should never be given medicines that are meant for adults. Cough and cold medicines are sold in different strengths. Ask a medical professional if you are not sure about the right product for a child. If a child
81、is being given other medicines, the childs health care provider should approve their combined use.Read all the information and warnings provided with a drug and carefully follow the directions for use. For liquid products, use the dropper or other measuring device that comes with the medicine or buy
82、 the correct one at a drug store. Do not use household spoons; they could provide the wrong amount of medicine. The F.D.A points out that children get better with time and that cough and cold medicines only treat signs of the common cold. They are not a cure. If a childs condition gets worse or does
