    About 97% of the world’s water is salty and is found in our oceans and seas. But, as we can’t drink sea water, how can it be important?
    Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different ocean depths. Most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food. These simple plants called algae (海藻) drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen. In fact, algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe. How important sea water is!
    Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain. The algae are eaten in large amounts by microscopic animals, which are in turn consumed by larger animals. These food chains are delicately balanced.
    The bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man. People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didn’t matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food. But we now know this is not true and fish stocks in the oceans have started to drop.
    Thankfully, the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine habitats. Most countries have introduced fishing restrictions to protect fish stocks in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to cope with pollution. Finally, the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people. This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future. We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet. How important sea water is! 
    46. Which of the following is the proper order of the food chain?
    A. small animals→algae→microscopic animals→large animals→man
    B. algae→microscopic animals→large animals→larger animals→man
    C. small animals→algae→large animals→microscopic animals→man
    D. microscopic animals→algae→large animals →larger animals→man
    47. People used to think that the rubbish thrown into the sea ________.
    A. wouldn’t harm the fish in the sea   B. would change the balance of the food chain
    C. would be broken down in the sea   D. wouldn’t do much harm to the sea
    48. From the passage, we learn that _________. 
    A. most fish and sea animals live at the surface of the seas
    B. it is very difficult to break the balance of a food chain
    C. excessive fishing has caused the decrease in fish stock
    D. it won’t be long before the problems concerning oceans will be solved
    49. Which of the following is NOT a way being used to protect oceans?
    A. The use of international agreements.   
    B. Forbidding fishing to protect fish stocks.
    C. The use of new techniques.          
    D. Raising people’s awareness of the need to protect oceans.
    50. What would be the best title of the passage?
    A. The importance of seawater.
    B. Life in the oceans.
    C. How to protect food chains.
    D. How to deal with seawater pollution.

They were set up to   21   women the education they could not get anywhere else. At that time   22   of the universities and colleges   23   only men. In the past 20 years many young women have   24   to study at colleges that accept both men and women. As a   25  , some women’s colleges decided to accept men students, too. Others still refused to change. Now the women’s colleges are   26   again.

The president of Smith College in Massachusetts said “A women’s college  30   women to choose classes and activities  31  . For example, if a woman student wants to learn math, she will be given the chance. So the percentage of students who like to study math in a women’s college is   32   than that in a college with men and women.”
    Experts say men students in the United States  33   have enough courage to speak in class.  34  , women students can’t. In a women’s college, women feel free to say   35   they want to. According to a report, women colleges also   36   leadership ability in many fields. At a women’s college, every   37   office is held by women. Recent studies   38   that this leadership continues after   39  . The studies also prove that it is easier for the American women who went to women’s college to   40   successful jobs later in life. Maybe that is why this kind of college is liked by people now.

    　　Even plant can run a fever, especially when they’re under attack by insects or disease. But unlike human, plants can have their temperature taken from 3, 000 feet away - straight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared （红外线）scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide （杀虫剂）spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that don’t have pest （害虫）problems.
    　　Even better, Paley’s Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3, 000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color - coded map showing where plants were running“ fevers”. Farmers could then spot - spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.
    　　The bad news is that Paley’s company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long - term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. “This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States, ” says George Oerther of Texas A & M. Ray Jackson , who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only ff Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.
    　56．Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are________.
    　　A. sprayed with pesticides     B. facing an infrared scanner
    　　C. in poor physical condition   D. exposed to excessive sun rays
    　57．In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to________.
    　　A. estimate the damage to the crops    B. measure the size of the affected area
    　　C. draw a color -coded map          D. locate the problem area
    　58．Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by________.
    　　A. resorting to spot – spraying   B. consulting infrared scanning experts
    　　C. transforming poisoned rain    D. detecting crop problems at an early stage
    　59．The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties________.,
    　　A. the lack of official support        B. its high cost
    　　C. the lack of financial support      D. its failure to help increase production
    　60．Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of________.
    　　A. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produce
    　　B. growing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on crops
    　　C. the forceful promotion by the Department of Agriculture
    　　D. full support from agricultural experts

    The hole in the Earth's ozone layer (臭氧层) has until now protected Antarctica from the worst effects of global warming. But scientists have warned that as the hole closes up in the next few decades, temperatures on the continent could rise by around 3℃on average, with melting ice contributing to a global sea level increase of up to 1.4 metres.
    In the past decades the western Antarctic has seen rapid ice loss as the world has warmed, but the other parts of the continent have, paradoxically, been cooling, resulting in a 10% increase in ice in the seas around the region. This is because the hole in the ozone layer has increased cold winds in Antarctica, making much of the continent surface colder than usual.
    But now that the gasses that cause the ozone hole have been banned, scientists expect the hole to repair itself within the next 50 to 60 years. By then the cooling effect will have faded out and the Antarctic will face the full impact of global warming. This means an increase in average air temperatures of around 3℃ and a reduction in sea ice by around a third.
    The biggest threat to the continent comes from warming seas. Robert Johnson, a scientist who monitors Antarctica ice sheets, said, "The ice sheets in Antarctica are hundreds of metres thick. But once warm ocean waters start flowing underneath, the ice will begin thinning and could break up very quickly. "Thinning ice sheets cause ice to break away from the continent and to melt even faster. Escaping ice from western Antarctica has already resulted in a 10% rise in global sea level in recent decades.
    Johnson believes that international action to reduce global warming is required immediately or it may be too late. "Everything is connected - Antarctica may be a long way away but it is an important part of the Earth's system," said Johnson. "It contains 90% of the world's ice, 70% of the world's fresh water and that is enough, if it melts completely, to raise sea levels by 63 metres."
    Even in a worse-case situation scientists don't expect the ice to entirely disappear, but predict that, because of the melting ice sheets, average sea level rise will be around 1.4 metres higher by the end of the century.
    63. The underlined word "paradoxically" (in Paragraph 2) most probably means "__".
    A. rapidly         B. approximately    C. contradictorily    D. apparently
    64. What is the effect of the hole in the ozone layer on Antarctica?
    A. It is causing the ice to melt faster.
    B. It is making much of the continent colder.
    C. It is making the effects of global warming in the region worse.
    D. It is reducing the amount of water in Antarctica.
    65. What do scientists think is the biggest danger facing Antarctica?
    A. Rising sea levels.                  B. Warming sea water temperature.
    C. Water pollution.                      D. Growing ice sheets.
    66. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
    A. Antarctica is currently experiencing the full effects of global warming.
    B. The average temperature has increased by 3℃ in recent decades.
    C. Antarctica contains most of the world's fresh water.
    D. Ten percent of Antarctica's ice has already been lost.

    More and more American parents, students, educators, political and business leaders have come to see the importance of Chinese on the world stage. As a result, Americans hoping to learn Chinese are growing in number though they face a lot of difficulties.
    Liu Chuansheng, chairperson of the University Council at Beijing Normal University, talked about this situation. “There have been 300 million Chinese learning English, and I know that there are more and more Americans beginning to learn Chinese. I remember when I came to the U. S. there were only 250 schools offering Chinese classes; when I left in 2005, there were already 2,400 schools hoping to offer Chinese classes. Today more than 700 schools are offering Chinese classes, and 4,500 are planning to do so.”
    “This is an important time in America. We have suffered from an economic crisis; there is swine flu(猪流感) ---- all part of our lives. We need to be competitive to deal with the world and make an effort to understand each other,” said Shuhan Wang, head of Chinese Language Initiatives at Asia Society. “The number of Chinese language teachers remains the key bottleneck,” she said. “And the need for specialized teachers becomes greater, as there is increasing popularity of early language learning ---- kindergarten through 8th grades.”
    Jon M. Huntsman Jr., governor(州长) of Utah, has led his state to the front in teaching Chinese. “While math and science remain main studies,” he said, “language is going to be an important drive in education. Next year 82 schools will offer Chinese to 6,000 students.”
    64. It is implied in the passage that the number of Americans learning Chinese is growing mainly because _______.
    A. more and more Americans face a lot of difficulties
    B. the number of Chinese learning English is growing
    C. Chinese is widely used by actors all over the world
    D. China is playing a more important role in the world
    65. Liu Chuansheng’s talk mainly shows us _______.
    A. how Americans are learning Chinese      B. why Americans are learning Chinese
    C. that Chinese becomes popular in America  D. that China offers more Chinese classes there
    66. The biggest problem with Americans learning Chinese is that _____.
    A. the Chinese language is too difficult for them to learn
    B. they don’t have enough teachers of Chinese in the USA
    C. American children are not good at learning languages
    D. teachers won’t work in kindergartens or primary schools
    67. The proper title for the passage is _______.
    A. Americans show great interest in learning Chinese
    B. Americans show less interest in math and science
    C. Chinese teachers get new chance to work in America
    D. Chinese is widely used in some states of America

    阅读下列短文，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。
    A
    Cold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word cold. For centuries, the body’s blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold-blooded. Cold-blooded people act in merciless ways. They may do brutal things to others, and not by accident. For example, a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. The killer murdered someone, not in self-defense. He seemed to kill for no reason, and with no emotion, as if taking someone’s life meant nothing. Cold can affect other parts of the body. The feet, for example. Heavy socks can warm your feet, if your feet are really cold. But there is an expression -- to get cold feet -- that has nothing to do with cold or your feet.
    The expression means being afraid to do something you had decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned. All the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.
    Cold can also affect your shoulder. You give someone the cold shoulder when you refuse to speak to them. You treat them in a distant, cold way. The expression probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face-to-face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you. Or, to someone who has lied about you to others.
    A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.
    Out in the cold is an expression often heard. It means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise, that he was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.
    41. The passage is intended to tell us that______.
    A. cold weather has a great effect on human bodies
    B. many English expressions contain the word cold
    C. cold is a word closely linked with human emotions
    D. the word cold has many different meanings in English
    42. The underlined word brutal in paragraph 1 most probably means _______.
    A. impolite      B. illegal      C. cruel          D. extreme
    43. Which of the following expressions can best describe a person who is unwilling to offer anything to others?
    A. Cold-blooded.                 B. To get cold feet.
    C. A cold shoulder.                D. A cold fish.
    44. You can say Tom ______ if the teacher gives all the boys except him a pen as a prize.
    A. is given the cold shoulder
    B. is left out in the cold
    C. has got cold feet
    D. is murdered by a cold-blooded killer
    45. We can draw a conclusion from the passage that ______.
