【题目】Camping is an American tradition, and especially important for families. 【1】
★Time together
Camping allows you to spend quality time as a family. Most family members are too caught up in their everyday lives to stop and spend time with each other. At home there are just too many distractions, such as televisions. 【2】 On a camping trip one can spend time with one’s kids and form a real relationship.
★ 【3】
Another great reason to go on a camping trip is to teach kids things like respect for nature and outdoor survival skills — things that just can’t be learned adequately from books.
★Camping is cheap
【4】 You will save on air travel, accommodations, food, and other expenses.
★Outdoor activities
On camping trips, people don’t just stay in their tents the whole day. 【5】 These include bird watching, wildlife viewing, hiking, mountain climbing, fishing, swimming, and playing games with kids.
A. Camping trips are inexpensive compared to regular vacations.
B. Instead of doing activities together, they may just sit there and watch TV.
C. They can do lots of enjoyable and worthwhile activities.
D. Learning

【题目】Washington: NASA has announced evidence that Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, has a saltwater ocean under its icy surface. The ocean seems to have more water than all the water on Earth's surface, according to new Hubble observation.
New Hubble observations of Ganymede's magnetic field strongly suggest that the moon, which is the largest in our whole solar system, is home to a subsurface ocean.
Scientists estimate the ocean is 95 kilometres thick, which is about 10 times deeper than Earth's oceans. But unlike our salty waters, Ganymede's ocean is buried under 150 kilometres of ice.
While scientists have speculated(推测) since 1970s about the presence of an ocean on Ganymede------the largest moon in our solar system------ until now the only observational evidence came from a brief flyby by the Galileo spacecraft, which didn’t observe the moon long enough to confirm a liquid ocean.
This discovery marks an important milestone, highlighting what only Hubble can accomplish. In its 25 years in orbit, Hubble has made many scientific discoveries in our own solar system. A deep ocean under the icy surface of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth.
Scientists have already confirmed the existence of an ocean on Europa, another moon orbiting Jupiter, and NASA has announced plans to send an unmanned mission there searching for the life that might come with liquid water.
Hubble is a telescope that orbits Earth, but because of its impressive gravitational analyses it can be used to study the inside of far distant planets. Using these same principles, scientists could theoretically detect oceans on distant planets as well.
【1】What can we learn about the Ganymede from the passage?
A. It is a planet with the largest moon in our whole solar system.
B. Its ocean adds to people’s excitement about life beyond Earth.
C. It will be used by NASA as a base for the Hubble telescope.
D. Its liquid ocean was first proved by the Galileo spacecraft.
【2】Which of the following best describes the writer’s attitude towards Hubble?
A. Cautious B. Doubtful
C. Negative D. Favourable
【3】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 6 mean?
A. An underground ocean has been found in Europa.
B. The presence of an underground ocean in Europa is not possible.
C. It is now certain that there is an ocean on Europa.
D. No evidence has shown the existence of an ocean on Europa.
【4】What type of writing does this passage belong to?
A. A term essay B. A news report
C. An experiment report D. An exploration review.

【题目】Scientists are learning new things about Antarctica, the coldest place on Earth. For example, the Antarctic ice sheet is shrinking. A new study found that summer ice loss in parts of Antarctica was at its highest level in 1,000 years. The study showed that Antarctic ice was melting mostly from below ice shelves, where the water is warmer than the ice.
Eric Rignot is an earth system expert at the University of California, Irvine. He also works for the American space agency, NASA. There he serves as senior research scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, also in California. He says ice melting from below is responsible for 55 percent of the shelf loss from 2003 to 2008. That is a much higher rate than scientists thought earlier.
Professor Rignot and his team used satellite observations, radar and computer models to measure features above the ice to learn what was going on below.
The measurements show differences from one area to the next around the continent. The major ice shelves are called Ross, Filchner and Ronne. They make up two-thirds of Antarctica’s ice shelves. But they are responsible for only 15 percent of the melting ice.
The professor says even small changes, like changes in ocean flow driven by wind, can make a huge difference in the melting of the ice shelf.
Sixty percent of the Earth’s fresh water is held in the huge Antarctic ice sheet. Professor Rignot says the study will help experts predict how the continent reacts to warmer ocean waters and helps to cause rising sea levels around the world. The study was published in the journal Science.
【1】 What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. the Antarctic ice sheet is shrinking
B. the coldest place on earth
C. the major Antarctica’s ice shelves
D. the Atlantic Ocean are changing
【2】How did Eric Rignot and his team do the research?
A. He serves as senior research scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
B. Small changes, like changes in ocean flow driven by wind, can make a huge difference in the melting of the ice shelf.
C. They used satellite observations, radar and computer models to know the things happening below the ice.
D. They melted 55% of the Antarctica’s ice to prove their theory is right.
【3】Which is true of the following statements?
A. Ice melting from below is responsible for 35 percent of the shelf loss from 2003 to 2008.
B. Sixty percent of the Earth’s fresh water is contained in the huge Antarctic ice sheet.
C. The major ice shelves are called Ross, Filchner and Ronne, which make up one-third of Antarctica’s ice shelves.
D. Summer ice loss in Antarctica was at its highest level in 1,000 years.

【题目】Scientists have discovered a special biological behavior in dolphins（海豚） that could lead to a treatment for late-onset diabetes（晚发的糖尿病） in humans. Studies on dolphins found that healthy dolphins switch into a diabetic-like state overnight when they are not feeding, but return to normal when they eat the following morning.
The extraordinary finding has led scientists to suggest that dolphins have “genetic switch” that allows them to imitate diabetes while they are not feeding for a night, without suffering any ill effect.
If researchers can identify a similar genetic pathway in human, they may be able to develop drugs to effectively switch off diabetes. Some 2.2 million people in Britain have type 2 (or late-onset) diabetes, a figure that is expected to reach 4 million by 2025 as a consequence of rising levels of obesity（肥胖）.
The tissues of people with type 2 diabetes have become resistant to insulin（胰岛素）so they lose the ability to control sugar levels in their blood. The condition can damage the heart, eyes, kidneys（肾脏） and nerves and contribute to 5% of all deaths, according to the World Healthy Organisation.
Dolphins appear to imitate diabetes to keep high levels of blood sugar when food is rare. Like humans, dolphins need some sugar in their blood for their brains to function normally. Venn-Watson’s team analysed 1,000 blood samples（样本） from 52 dolphins while they didn’t eat anything overnight and fed in the morning. At night time, the dolphins’ metabolism（新陈代谢）changed greatly and showed similar characteristics to that seen in people with type 2 diabetes.
“It is our hope that this discovery can lead to new ways to prevent, treat and maybe even cure diabetes in humans,” said Stephanie Venn-Watson, director of clinical research at the National Marine Foundation in San Diego.
【1】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Humans get some idea of treating diabetes from dolphins.
B. Dolphins can switch into a diabetic-like state overnight.
C. Humans can suffer the same disease as dolphins.
D. Dolphins should be fed regularly to avoid diabetes.
【2】The key to applying the finding to curing human diabetes lies in ____________.
A. producing insulin in a larger amount
B. developing drugs from healthy dolphins
C. identifying a similar genetic pathway in human
D. analysing more blood samples from hungry dolphins
【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Scientists have found a similar genetic switch in humans.
B. More British people will suffer type 2 diabetes due to obesity.
C. 2.2 million people with type 2 diabetes die in Britain every year.
D. Dolphins imitate diabetes to avoid a high blood sugar level.
【4】What will happen to dolphins if not fed for a night according to Venn-Watson?
A. Their metabolism breaks down.
B. They become resistant to insulin.
C. Their heart and kidneys are damaged.
D. They keep high levels of blood sugar.
