本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述地震会给人们带来很大的灾难,几个世纪以来人类一直对地震进行研究,但仍然不知道何时何地会发生地震,但是科学家们可以尽可能的帮助减少地震带来的危害。

1考查固定句型。句意:但大多数都太弱了,感觉不到。A. very非常;B. too太;C. quite十分;D. so如此。根据上文说每天都有成千上万的地震发生,可知这里说大部分地震应该是太弱了都感觉不到,too…to…句型意为“太而不能”,符合语境,故选B

3考查动词词义的辨析。句意:然后大地剧烈地震动,许多房屋倒塌。A. moves移动;B. shakes震动;C. jumps跳;D. breaks破坏。根据上文大地震中,会有大的噪音,可知这里大地会剧烈的震动,故选B

4考查动词词义和词组的辨析。句意:同上。A. get得到;B. put放;C. set设置;D. fall落下。根据语境和常识,可知大地震中,房屋会倒塌,短语fall down意为“倒塌”,故选D

5考查介词词义的辨析。句意:铁路断裂,火车脱轨。A. off离开;B. on上;C. into进入;D. behind后面。根据上文说铁路断裂,这里应该是火车脱离轨道,故选A

连词是一种虚词,用于连接单词、短语、从句或句子,在句子中不单独用作句子成分。连词按其性质可分为并列连词和从属连词。并列词用于连接并列的单词、短语、从句或句子,如and, but, or, for等;从属连词主要引出名词性从句(主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句等)和状语从句(时间状语从句、条件状语从句、目的状语从句等),引出名词性从句的连词如that, whether等,引出状语从句的连词如when, because, since, if 等。如小题20考查的是并列连词的词义辨析。

【题目】 At 18, you say goodbye to your childhood and become an adult. You are legally allowed to do a lot of things from voting to driving a car. 1

On March 10, California lawmakers voted to change the legal age for buying cigarettes from 18 to 21. It meant that the US state in which the most people live was about to become the second after Hawaii to ban teenagers from smoking. 2 Up to now, over 100 cities in the US, including New York and San Francisco, have passed similar laws of their own.

“We can save billions of dollars in direct health care costs and, most importantly, save lives,” senator Ed Hernandez, who wrote the bill, told the Associated Press.

3 Last year the Institute of Medicine(IOM) in the US predicted that if the legal age were raised to 21, by the time today’s teenagers became adults, the smoking rate would be cut by 12 percent. 4For example, Vending machines (自动售货机) would go away and less than 10 percent of stores would sell cigarettes illegally to teenagers.

5 An article in USA Today pointed out that taking in nicotine(尼古丁) during your teenage years is likely to badly affect brain function and development. Teenagers get addicted to smoking more easily than adults because the parts of the brain that control most decision making and self-control are still developing. As for the health effects, the risks of smoking-related illness rise with the number of years a person smokes.

A. There is evidence that supports Hernandez's words.

B. There are many reasons to cut youth smoking further.

C. The law will take effect 90 days after the governor signs it.

D. Meanwhile, other ways of getting cigarettes would disappear.

E. Some people argue that 18-year-olds are mostly able to make adult decisions.

F. Many countries in the world, including China, have set the legal smoking at 18.

G. But in some parts of the US, there’s still one thing an 18-year-old can’t do—smoke.

【题目】New Reasons to Exercise

It’s a cruel reality that exercising is not a reliable way to lose weight and keep it off. 1 Here are the benefits of regular exercise.

2

A new study had found that just a short period of exercise can help improve the ability to remember things in the hours that follow. The report says, “Exercising four hours after learning a task can help people remember that task in the long term”

It may keep off depression.

3 Researchers found that women who exercised regularly reported about 50% fewer depressive signs than women who didn’t exercise as much. And the more the women reported exercising, the less likely they were to have signs of depression.

It can control appetite.(食欲)

Exercise may be the key to controlling your appetite. A study found that people who exercised for 15 minutes after doing mental work ate 100 fewer calories than people who did mental work and then remained seated. Exercise has the ability to increase available fuel sources in the body that may signal to the brain. “4I don’t need to fill myself with food,” says study author William H. Neumeirer.

It increases energy.

In a recent report, men who cycled for 20 minutes experienced a 166% increase in self-reported energy levels, compared with a 15% increase when they sat and did nothing for the same amount of time.5

A.It improves memory.

B.It has mind-body benefits.

C.Here is the energy source I need.

D.We do the work at the office each day.

E.Working out regularly might prevent depression.

F.But that doesn’t mean you should give up the effort.

G.If you need a reason to work out, energy increase is a worthwhile one.

【题目】Think about the longest elevator ride that you’ve ever taken. Whether you rose five floors or 100, it probably took less than a few minutes. Now imagine riding in an elevator higher and higher as it climbs for nearly a day. When you reach the top floor, prepare for views that are really out of this world. You’ll be in space!

Space elevators might sound like a crazy idea, but they’re something scientists have been working on for decades.

Why would anyone want a space elevator? At the moment, riding in a capsule is the only way ordinary people can get to and from space. But those rides are very expensive — about $25 million per person per flight.

Researchers are still figuring out the details about how a space elevator might work. One idea is stretching (伸展) a very long cable — more than 37,000 kilometers — up to space from the earth’s equator (赤道). The location is important: Objects in space above the equator orbit (……的轨道飞行) the earth at the same speed that our planet turns. A weight on the end of the cable would stretch it tight. An elevator tied to the cable could use it to climb up and down.

The only problem is that besides being long, this cable must also be very strong. Storms, including hurricanes might break it. One way to solve this problem is to stretch the cable from the moon instead of from the earth. Airplanes designed to climb higher than a typical jet might take off from the earth and link up with the cable, which would be held in place by the pull of gravity from the earth. An elevator car waiting there would then take riders the rest of the way to the moon. Fueled by solar power, the elevator could transport people and materials without much expense or effort per ride.

So, when will you be taking your first spaceelevator ride? Probably not for a while.

1The first paragraph is presented by________.

A. giving an example

B. making a comparison

C. asking questions

D. analyzing causes

2Why have scientists been working on space elevators?

A. To make trips to space cheaper.

B. To help astronauts do research in space.

C. To find a more convenient way to the moon.

D. To prove an assumption which seems crazy.

3The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________.

A. the cable

B. the equator

C. an object in space

D. a weight on the end of the cable

4Which part of a magazine may the article appear in?

A. Science and technology. B. Sports.

C. Literature. D. Entertainment.

【题目】Mother’s Day is a time of memory and celebration for Mom. The earliest Mother’s Day celebrations date back to ancient Greece in honour of Rhea, the Mother of Gods. During the 1600s, England celebrated a day called “mothering Sunday”. Celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent(四旬斋),“mothering Sunday” honoured the mothers England.

During the time many of the England’s poor worked as servants for the wealthy.AS most jobs were located far from their homes, the servants would live at the houses of their employers. On Mothering Sunday, the servants would have the day off and were encouraged to return home and spend the day with their mothers. A special cake, called the mothering cake, was often brought along.

As Christianity(基督教) spread throughout Europe, the celebration changed to honour the “Mother Church”---the spiritual power that gave them life and protected them from harm. Over time the church festival combined with mothering Sunday celebration. People began honouring their mothers as well as the church.

In the United States Mother’s Day was first suggested in 1872 by Julia Ward Howe as a day devoted to peace. Then in 1907 Ana Jarvis, from Philadelphia, began a campaign(运动) to establish a national Mother’s Day. Ms Jarvis persuaded her mother’s church in Grafton, Virginia to celebrate Mother’s Day on the second anniversary of her mother’s death, the 2nd day Sunday of May. By the next year Mother’s Day was also celebrated in Philadelphia.

Ms Jarvis and her supporters began to write to ministers, businessmen, and politicians demanding to establish a national Mother’s Day. It was successful as by 1911 Mother’s Day was celebrated in almost every state. President Woodrow Wilson, in 1914, made the official announcement that Mother’s Day was a national holiday and it was to be held each year on the 2nd Sunday of May.

While many countries of the world celebrate their own Mother’s Day at different times throughout the year, there are some countries such as Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium which also celebrate Mother’s Day on the 2nd Sunday of May.

1What is the author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph?

A. To raise questions. B. To introduce the topic.

C. To interest readers. D. To solve problems.

2The earliest Mother’s Day was celebrated to___________.

A. mark the birth of Greece B. prepare for the autumn harvest

C. honour the Mother of Gods D. honour the mothers of England

3The fourth and fifth paragraphs mainly talk about___________.

A. the feast of Mother’s Day in the U.S.

B. the origin of Mother’s Day in the U.S.

C. the development of Mother’s Day in the U.S.

D. the celebration of Mother’s Day in the U.S.

4The passage is intended to______________.

This morning I got up early and went to school as usually, only to find there were nobody in the classroom because it is Sunday. “How a bad memory I have!” I couldn’t help laughing. Stand in front of the school gate, I began to wonder what to do next. Suddenly a good idea occurs to me. “Why not get together with some good friends for a picnic in such a fine weather?” I immediately telephoned some of my best friends, but they all agreed to join me. About two hours late, we finally arrived a pleasant park with trees and flowers here and there. We really enjoyed us greatly.
