Napoleon Bonaparte died on May 5, 1821, on the island of St. Helena off the coast of Africa. He was 51 years old at the time. When doctors examined Napoleon’s body, they said that the former emperor of France had died from cancer of the stomach. That was the cause of death recorded in the official report. However, other doctors disagreed. One doctor who was present during the examination of the body said that Napoleon died of hepatitis. Other historians and medical experts have suggested that Napoleon died of syphilis, tuberculosis, or perhaps malaria. Now, after careful research, a British chemist thinks that Napoleon might have been poisoned -- not by a person, but by his wallpaper.
Napoleon was sent to the island of St. Helena in 1815 after he lost the battle of Waterloo. He was a prisoner on the island. Although he had servants to attend to him, he had to live in one small building. St. Helena is a very wet island, so the walls of the building were always covered with mold. Napoleon became ill from spending too much time inside his house. Almost constantly he had a fever, chills, and felt sick to his stomach. He often felt pain in his shoulders and in his side. His skin turned yellow. He got frequent headaches, and he would become dizzy and vomit(吐). None of the medicine that the doctors gave Napoleon seemed to help. They were not sure what was the matter. Finally, Napoleon was too weak to leave the house. One night, while he was sleeping, he went into a coma and died.
Many doctors who later reviewed the reports of Napoleon’s illness found that the symptoms(症状) did not show a man who suffered from stomach cancer. It seemed obvious that Napoleon had died from some other cause. In 1961, a Swedish doctor examined some of Napoleon’s hair and found a high level of arsenic, a chemical poison. Was Napoleon murdered? It is doubtful. Arsenic was used in many types of medicine during Napoleon’s time, so he might have taken the arsenic as a cure for his illness. Then, in 1982, Dr. David Jones from England began to look into the mystery and suggested that Napoleon might have breathed in arsenic which was in the air of his house. In the 1700s and 1800s, arsenic was used to make a kind of green paint used on cloth and wallpaper. If the paint was used on a wet wall, the arsenic would go into the air. A person in the room might breathe that air. After studying the wallpaper in the room where Napoleon died, Dr. Jones found high levels of arsenic in the green paint on the walls.
Why did Napoleon live on St. Helena?
A. He owned the island. B. He was a prisoner there.
C. His family lived there. D. He liked the island.
The official report said that Napoleon died of____________.
A. cancer B. a coma C. mold D. poison
Napoleon suffered from the following symptoms except __________.
A. chills B. fever C dizziness D. bleeding
According to Dr. Jones, how did the arsenic probably get into Napoleon’s body?
A. He drank it.. B. He touched it. C. He breathed it in. D. He ate it
The passage says that .
A. a British doctor thinks he has found the cause of Napoleon’s death
B. many doctors have tried to guess the cause of Napoleon's death
C. Napoleon could have died from poison
D. all of the above

The earth is not the only body that travels around the sun. With it are eight other planets, fellow members of the sun’s family.
Two of them, Mercury (水星) and Venus, are nearer while the other six, namely Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, also in their given order from the sun, are farther from the sun than the earth is. The farther they are, the longer trips they make around the sun. People noticed long ago that these traveling bodies moved around in the sky in definite paths. It is a force called gravity that holds them in their paths.
We know that every little bit of matter in the universe pulls upon every other bit of matter. The pull between two bodies is proportional (成比例的) to the product of their masses. Because the sun is so large the pull between the sun and the planets are thus great. If it were not for this pull, the planets would fly off into space. In the same way there exists a pull between the earth and the moon, which keeps the moon traveling in its orbit around our planet, the earth. Gravity holds you to its surface, and pulls back to it the ball which you throw into the air. Of course the ball also pulls on the larger earth but the earth is so much larger that the pull is not noticed.
Now remember that large bodies exert a greater pull than smaller ones which contain less material. But each object in the universe, no matter how small, pulls on all other objects to some degree.
【小题1】There are ________ that travel around the sun in the sun’s family.
| A．nine planets | B．eight planets |
| C．one star and ten planets | D．the earth and the sun |
| A．Mercury and Venus. | B．Neptune and Pluto. |
| C．Saturn and Uranus. | D．Mars and Jupiter. |
| A．all the objects, big or small, must exert the same pull on one another |
| B．large objects exert the same pull on anybody as small objects |
| C．small objects exert the same on large ones |
| D．each object in the universe exerts a pull on all other objects |
| A．the sun and the moon is greater than between the sun and the earth |
| B．the earth and the moon is greater than that between the sun and the earth |
| C．the sun and the earth is greater than that between the earth and the moon |
| D．the sun and the earth is the same as that between the earth and the moon |

读写任务（满分25分）
阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Throughout history man has changed his physical environment in order to improve his way of life. With the tools of technology he has altered（改变）many physical features（特征）of the earth. He has transformed（完全改变） woodlands and prairies（大草原） into farms and made lakes and reservoirs（水库） out of rivers for irrigation purposes or hydroelectric power（发电站）. Man has also modified（修改） the face of the earth by draining marshes(排干沼泽) and cutting through mountains to build roads and railways.
However, man's changes to the physical environment have not always had beneficial（有利的）results. Today, pollution of the air and water is an increasing danger to the health of the planet. Each day thousands of tons of gases come out of the exhausts of motor vehicles. Smoke from factories pollutes the air of industrialized areas and the surrounding areas of the countryside. The pollution of water is equally harmful. The whole ecological（生态的） balance of the sea is being changed and industrial wastes have already made many rivers lifeless.
Now environmental protection is more pressing than ever before. As we know, massive destruction（毁灭）of environment has brought about negative effects and even poses a great threat (威胁)to man's existence. Indifference to these problems will mean committing suicide. Therefore, effective measures should be taken and laws passed to conserve（保护） environment. Otherwise, man is certain to suffer from the serious consequences（后果）caused by this lack of care for his living surroundings.
