17.When you consider what subject to study in college,chances are (48)that you and your parents will think what you can make out of it (49)after graduation.You will likely ask the question:"Can I find a well-paid job or find simply a job with a degree in this in the future?"
This consideration also influences students when they come to choose (50)between science and humanities(人文学科) at college.People generally believe that the humanities,(51)which include literature,history,cultural studies and philosophy,do not prepare students for a specific profession.Science subjects,(52)however,are considered professional courses that produce scientists,engineers and economists.
"I've decided to take finance as (53)my college major.My parents and I think this subject will help me get a good job or start a business,"said Huachen Yueru,17,(54)a science student at Wuxi No.1Senior High School.
Even (55)those/students who choose a liberal arts college often pick the humanities that they think will best help them find a job later.

分析 文章主要向人们介绍了在大学里面的人文科学的科目正在受到人们的冷落,并解释了该种现象产生的原因.
你和父母在选择大学时,首先考虑的是毕业后的问题,人们把哲学和历史这样的人文学科看成是没有工作市场的学科,在大学里人文科学已经越来越不受学生和家长的欢迎.为了毕业后的就业,人们更多的是选择具有很好的就业形势的理科类.

解答 48.that.考查引导词.表语从句you and your parents will think what you can make out of it 的句子完整,表示"你和父母首先考虑的是毕业后的问题".    
49.after.考查连词.根据上题可知用after graduation表示"毕业后".
50.between.考查固定短语.between…and表示"在…之间".本句表示"在文科和理科之间选择".
51.which.考查关系词.非限制性定语从句include literature,history,cultural studies and philosophy,缺少主语,所以用which代指先行词the humanities.
52.however.考查连词.Science subjects,are considered professional courses that produce scientists,engineers and economists和前句对文科的解释是转折关系,而且句子中间有逗号,所以用however.
53.my.考查代词.和主语I呼应用my.
54.a.考查冠词.science student 和Huachen Yueru是同位语,所以用a science student表示"一个理科生"
55.those/students.考查代词.做定语从句who choose a liberal arts college 的先行词,代指那些选择文学艺术的学生,所以用those或students.

点评 本题是语法填空题.这一题型是高考常考的题型,它主要考查考生对整体文章大意的把握以及所学语言及语法知识的应用,有一定难度.在做题时考生要通读一遍,整体理解,然后要结合句子需要使用正确的形式.

8.Britain's seed bank,the only one in the world aiming to collect all of the planet's wild plant species,has reached its goal of banking 10 percent by 2010.
The Millennium Seed Bank Project,run by Kew Gardens-one of the oldest botanical gardens-will officially deposit the 24,200th species on Thursday,a pink,wild banana from China.
More than 50 countries are now on board with Kew's giant task but vast places of the globe,including India and Brazil,still need to join in and donate seeds,director Paul Smith said.
The seed bank is one of the largest and most diverse in the world with more than 1.5 billion seeds.Its goal is to help protect the planet's bio-diversity during a time of climate change.
The wild banana seed is under threat of extinction(灭绝) in southwest China from agricultural development.It is a vital food source for Asian elephants and important for growing bananas for human consumption.
Stored at minus-20 degrees centigrade,so they can last for thousands of years,the seeds await the day that scientists hope never comes-when the species no longer exist in the wild.
It is a race against time,Smith said,because in the last decade alone,20 plants held in the bank have already been wiped out in the wild.He estimates that between a third and a quarter will become extinct this century.
"It is urgent and it is happening now.An area,the size of England,is cleared of primary vegetation(植被)every year."Smith said.
Because most of the world's food and medicines come from nature,protecting wild plant species is quite important,scientists say.There are already many other seed banks safeguarding food crops,which only account for 0.6 percent of plant diversity.
For Kew's next goal-to collect a quarter of wild varieties by 2020-the botanists need 10 million pounds a year,or a further 100 million pounds on top of the 40 million they have already been granted.
56.What's the final purpose of the Britain's seed bank?C
A.To collect enough money for the project.
B.To safeguard food crops.
C.To protect wild plants from extinction.
D.To help scientists study wild plants.
57.The wild banana seed in China is in danger because ofA.
A.the expanding of farming work          
B.the climate change in this area
C.the large number of Asian elephants      
D.human's large consumption
58.We can learn from the passage thatB.
A.the seeds in the bank can be used now and then all over the world
B.India and Brazil haven't joined in the Seed Bank Project at present
C.there is only one seed bank in the world at present
D.the wild plants in places like India and China will never die out
59.What does the underlined word"it"in paragraph 7 refer to?B
A.The extinction of plant species.
B.The Millennium Seed Bank Project.
C.Britain's seed bank.
D.Kew Gardens'next goal.
60.Which of the following information isn't mentioned in the passage?C
A.The global partnership of collecting wild plant species.
B.The temperature condition of the conservative wild plant species.
C.The government's financial support for the seed bank project.
D.Scientists'concern on the extinct wild plant species.

5.When I was about 12,I had an enemy,a girl who liked to point out my flaws.Week by week her list  (71)grew (grow):I was very thin,I talked too much,I was too proud,and so on.I tried to ignore this for so long as I could.In the end,though,I got very angry.I ran to my father  (72)with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly,and then he asked."Are the things she says true or not?Janet,haven't you ever wondered (73)what you're really like?Well,you now have that girl's opinion.Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true.Pay no attention to the other things she said."
I did  (74)as he told me.To my great surprise,I discovered that about half the things were true.Some of them I couldn't change,but a good number I  (75)could.For the first time I got a fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy.He refused to take it."That's just for you,"he said."You know better than  (76)anyone/anybody else the true about yourself.But you have to learn to listen,not just close your ears in anger and  (77)feel(feel) hurt.When something someone says about you is true,you'll find it will be of help to you.Our world is full of people who think they know what you should do.Don't shut your ears.Listen to them all,(78)buthear the truth and do the right thing you know."
Daddy's advice  (79)returned(return) to me at many important moments.In all my life,I've never had a  (80)better(good) piece of advice.

6.Long ago,sailors sailed to faraway places without the ability to rely on modern instruments to lead the way.Still,many were able to sail across vast,uncharted oceans and arrive at their destinations safely.Why didn't more sailors get lost at sea?What kinds of equipment did they use to find their way?
In early sailing history,few maps were available.Sailors had to rely on memory and on written guides called pilot books.Pilot books offered sailors information about how long it took to get to certain ports and instructions about getting in and out of the ports.Pilot books did not offer much information about sailing far from land.
Later,sailors used maps,charts,and information from other explorers to plan their trips.Early maps and charts offered descriptions of islands and coastlines tht helped sailors navigate.Experienced sailors learned where harbors,fresh water,supplies,and riendly people might be found.They were also able to warn others about dangers.Some of the early navigation practices and equipment used on these ships proved to be quite trustworthy.Early sailors used a tool called the astrolabe (星盘) to figure out the positions of stars and the sun to determine their location.For centuries,sailors planned their routes,sailed,and recorded their progress using the North Star as their only reference.They also used patterns of wind and waves as directional clues.Even though ocean waves may look the same to inexperienced eyes,they have different shapes related to the depth of the ocean and their closeness to land.Sailors even found a way that clouds and seabirds could help them.
The sailors of yesterday relied heavily on their observations and studies of the sea.Although their techniques were simple,they were able to achieve great things during their adventures at sea.
28.According to the text,pilot booksA.
A.are maps charted by other sailors   
B.are guides written by other sailors
C.offer descriptions of islands and ports  
D.offer information about sailing far away
29.We know from the text that early explorers and sailorsD.
A.established the shipping network    
B.invented many modern sailing tools
C.could locate all the ports and islands  
D.shared information and offered warnings
30.What is Paragraph 4mainly about?D
A.How early sailors found their way.
B.The importance of early navigation.
C.The difficulty of sailing far from land.
D.What arly sailors found on their journeys.
31.What's the author's attitude towards the sailors of yesterday?C
A.Objective.
B.Sympathetic.
C.Praiseworthy.
D.Regretful.
