7."Are the volcanoes in Yellowstone National Park going to erupt anytime soon?Will the world end if it does?"People across the world have been keeping a close watch on the famous national park.
Yellowstone National Park assured (保证) guests and the public on Thursday that a super-volcano under the park was not expected to erupt anytime soon,despite a video that claimed bison (野牛) had been seen fleeing to avoid such a disaster.
Yellowstone officials,who received dozens of calls and emails since the video went online this week following an earthquake in the park,said the video actually shows bison rushing down a paved road that leads deeper into the park.
"It was a spring-like day and  theywere crazy.Contrary to online reports,it's a natural happening and not the end of the world,"park spokeswoman Ms.Green said.
Assurances by Yellowstone officials and government geologists that the ancient super-volcano beneath the park is not due to explode have actually done little to reduce fears.
Comments from a self-described survivor suggest the wildlife fleeing may be tied to"a coming eruption here at Yellowstone".
The 4.8magnitude earthquake that struck early Sunday near the Norris Geyser Basin in the northwest of Yellowstone,which extends 3,472square miles of Wyoming,Montana and Idaho,caused no injuries or damages and did not make any noticeable changes to the landscape,geologists said.
Though mild by seismic (地震的) standards,it was the largest to shake Yellowstone since a 4.8quake in February 1980."But neither the quake,the largest among hundreds that have struck the area in the last seven months,nor the uplift suggests an eruption sooner than tens of thousands of years.The chance of that happening in our lifetime is very small."said Mr.Smith,associate director at the U.S.Geological Survey's Volcano Science Center.He said the area of uplift that scientists had been tracking since August was rising at a rate of between 10centimeters and 15centimeters a year.Geologists who tracked uplift in the same area from 1996to 2003also saw rising seismic activity,he said.
32.What does the underlined word"they"in Paragraph 4refer to?A
A.Bison.
B.Officials.
C.Geologists.
D.Guests.
33.We can learn from the passage thatC.
A.there have been only 2earthquakes since 1980
B.there's only one survivor in the Sunday earthquake
C.there're still fears after hearing the official assurances
D.there's an online report that bison fleeing is a natural happening
34.What's Mr.Smith's prediction about the volcanic eruption in Yellowstone National Park?C
A.It will never happen.
B.It may happen anytime.
C.It won't happen in our lifetime    
D.It may happen in the next 30years.
35.We can probably read such a passage inA.
A.a national newspaper                
B.an entertainment magazine
C.a personal diary                    
D.an academic report.

分析 本文主要讲述了,一些人以为野生动物的逃离可能与黄石公园的火山将要喷发有关,而官方的保证并没有消除尽所有人的担心,一些地质学家对此事进行了辟谣,并解释到黄石公园火山的喷发至少在我们这一生中是不会发生的.

解答 32.A词义猜测能力为本题主要考查点.根据这句话,It was a spring-like day and they were crazy.Contrary to online reports,it's a natural happening and not the end of the world,"这是一个类似于春天他们疯狂的日子,这和报道的相反,这是正常现象而不是时间末日",可以推断出they代指的肯定是野牛.故答案为A.
33.C细节查找能力为本题主要考查点.根据第五段Assurances by Yellowstone officials and government geologists that the ancient super-volcano beneath the park is not due to explode have actually done little to reduce fears.,可知官方的保证对于减少人们的害怕几乎没有作用,故答案为C.
33.C细节理解能力为本题主要考查点.根据最后一段的The chance of that happening in our lifetime is very small.,可知Smith认为黄石公园的火山爆发在我们这一生中爆发的几率很小,即是C选项的同意替换,故答案为C.
34.A逻辑推理能力为本题主要考查点.通读全文,可知本文主要对一些人认为黄石公园火山爆发,世界末日就要来的错误想法进行辟谣,这样的文章应该是在国家报刊上进行发表的,故答案为A.

点评 在阅读时要抓住文章的主题和细节,分析文章结构,根据上下文内在联系,挖掘文章的深层含义,对于暗含在文章中的人物的行为动机,事件中的因果关系及作者未言明的倾向、意图、态度、观点等要进行合乎逻辑的判断、推理、分析,进一步增强理解能力,抓住材料实质性的东西.

18.A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend wasn't around.Here's our advice to her-and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.
It's hard when a best friend isn't around-maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class.You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime.You want to have new friends.but how do you make them?Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends.But remember,there's always room for more friends.
Start by looking around your classroom-think about which kids you'd like to play with at break.Look for chances to say hi to them,smile,and be friendly.Offer to share something or express your appreciation(欣赏)to them.Invite someone to play with you or  say"Do you want to sit here?"in the lunchroom.When you're at break,walk over to kids you want to play with.act friendly,and say"Hi,can l play,too?"or just join in.
If you have trouble doing  this or if you're feeling shy,ask your teacher to help you make  new friends.Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends.The best way to make friends is to be a friend.Be kind,be friendly,share,say nice things,offer to help-and pretty soon,you'll have one,or two,or even more new friends.
You might still miss that special best friend.But when you see each other,you can share something you didn't have before she left:You can introduce her to your new friends!

48.This text is written forC.

15.One of the greatest influences from books I've read this year came from the book Anne of Green Gables.Anne's turning ordinary things into extraordinary things caught my eye.She is clever,fun-loving,creative,determined and occasionally a little bit absent-minded.All of these qualities remind me and help me realize that a little bit of romance,or imagination should always be a part of all of us,and can brighten up many unpleasant days.
Creativity has always been one of my strengths,but as I have gotten older it seems as if,little by little,my imagination is leaking away.There is no longer as much fun in pretending that I am a servant in a magnificent castle,or a heroine in one of my most beloved books.But there is more to imagination than pretending,isn't there?
Anne's imagination enabled her to do so many things.She could be anywhere,fly on golden wings.Anne's imagination helped her find the home where she belonged and find friends in the most unlikely places.
Anne taught me how important it was to be forgiving because you never know when it will be too late to forgive.She also showed me that being able to forgive makes a big difference in your relationships with people.
Above all,the most important thing that Anne taught me was the fact that just by being herself she was very liked by the others at school.This made me realize how important it is to be yourself.Lots of adults have told me that before but it is hard because sometimes I just want to be popular,but Anne brought the message through.
After reading the first hundred pages of Anne of Green Gables I was inspired; I had become one of Anne's kindred(同类的) spirits.
25.Which of the following makes the author interested?A
A.Anne is a romantic and creative girl.
B.Anne is nothing but an ordinary girl.
C.Anne can do anything she likes to.
D.Anne is nothing but a particular girl.
26.The most important character the author learned from Anne should beA.
A.to be yourself
B.to be forgiving
C.to be creative
D.to be innocent
27.The passage is mainly aboutD.
A.the author's creativity coming from Anne
B.the author's imagination coming back
C.the importance of reading books
D.influences on the author from Anne of Green Gables
28.It's implied thatA.
A.the author was inspired by the book the moment he saw it
B.the author was once a servant in an old castle
C.the author was quite imaginative when young
D.the author liked pretending more than imagining.

12.Cables are playing a very important part in today's communicates.They have been in use for over 100 years,but in the early times they caused a lot of difficulties for the forerunners.

the sea.Messages can be sent across the ocean by radio or by cable.
The cable lies on the sea bottom and it has to have very good insulation
(绝缘).If any part of it is weak,the water will get through and stop all signals.
The first cable under the sea was between England and France.It was laid in 1851.In 1851 engineers tried to lay cable across the Atlantic Ocean,but they met a lot of diffidently.Half way accrues the Atlantic the cable broke,and the ship that was laying it had to return.
Kelvin advised that another cable ought to be laid.It was mad mady and put on board a big ship.Kelvin and his friends traveled with it and after many days of hard work,they reached America without breaking the cable.Keivin himself sent the first message by cable from America in Britain.Unfortunately only 732 messages were sent through this cable before it broke.
The next cable was laid in 1866,and this time there were no problems.The ship that laid it was the Great Eastem,one of the strongest ships that time there were no problems.The ship that laid it was the Great Eastern,one of the strongest ships that have ever been built.On the other hand,it was driven by powerful engines and also by sails.

9.In the United States elementary education begins at the age of six.At this stage nearly all the teachers are women,mostly married.The atmosphere is usually very friendly,and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested.The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were not recognized quite a long time ago-so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than giving them actual instruction.
The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common interests.So the focus is on co-operation rather than competition throughout most of this process.This may seem curious,in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however,the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education.Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas,and obviously quite a few as criminals,but it is not fair to say the educational system fails.It does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.

36.According to the passage,the teachers thought  ______ and ______ are very important in American school.D 
A.interest and knowledge             B.competition and friendliness
C.curiousness and kindness            D.happiness and interest
37.At present,many people argue about the idea of elementary school,becauseA.
A.schools give little actual instruction
B.schools focus a lot on knowledge study
C.children are not willing to help each other
D.schools pay more attention to competition.
38.Why do Americans focus on co-operation?B
A.Because American society is a highly competitive society
B.Because Americans accept the idea that people need to work together
C.Because co-operation will lead to a few criminals
D.Because American former educational system failed
39.The text tells us the following things about elementary education EXCEPTC.
A.the atmosphere in school     B.the aims    C.future      D.the method
40.The writer's attitude towards American education isA.
A.positive         B.negative    C.neutral (中立的).D.doubtful.
