On a winter day, it rained heavily. While I was walking from the library at the end of my 　31 break, a man was walking towards me with two huge 　32 of brochures.

I thought, “What 　33 is that man trying to do? Carrying all those things?” Then all of a sudden he 　34 them all! What a terrible mess with hundreds of brochures all over the 　35 in front of me! “Oh, no,” I thought. The man 　36 his head helplessly in the rain and started trying to 　37　 all of the brochures up. I couldn’t believe how many people walked 　38 as if nothing had happened.

I thought, “I am not going to be one of those people who don’t 　39　 this man.” I wondered what I would 　40 people to react if I were that man. So, 　41 it was the end of my lunch time from work and I would be 　42 if I stopped to help him, I didn’t mind. If I 　43 what happened, I was sure my 　44 wouldn’t mind too much. So, I helped him gather them all. Then I asked if he would like a 　45　 carrying a box to where he went. He said yes gratefully.

I carried one of the boxes. The box I had to carry was very 　46 —as I’m quite a short and thin girl—but I didn’t 　 47　 . We got there and he thanked me very much for helping him 　48 . He also gave me one of these brochures about all the walks in and around the Bay of Plenty.

What is a more 　49 way to spend some time than helping someone else when you can? Luckily, I wasn’t that late back to work, so nobody even 　50 it at all!

　  Life on land probably began about 430 million years ago, though it has stayed in the water for perhaps as much as 3,000 million years. When we think of the first thing on land, we probably think of strange animals coming out of the oceans, but in fact no animals could have been living if plants had not been on land first. Plants had to be on land before animals arrived. They supplied the first land animals with the surrounding and food necessity, since then, the plants, are the only form of life that is able to get and store energy.

　　The first plants to stay out of the water were probably certain kinds of algae（海藻）which were followed by other plants that grew close to the ground and needed water in which to reproduce. Once the move to land had been made, however, evolution（进化）happened quickly. By the end of 100 million years, plants had developed their roots（根), and some had got tree -like forms since height was very important in gaining sunlight. About 300 million years ago, much of the world was covered with forests of huge trees. In most ways they were like modern trees. They had roots, leaves, wood, but mostly they had not developed seeds.

59．The main idea of the first paragraph is ________.

　　A. life on land probably began 430 years ago

　　B. the first animal on land came from oceans

　　C. there wouldn't have been animals without plants

　　D. plants are the only form of life that is able to get and store energy

60．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

　　A. Algae probably has stayed for more than 430 million years.

　　B. It is impossible that algae might be the earliest plant on land.

　　C. Plants get food from animals in the oceans.

　　D. Evolution began after animals appeared on land.

61．Plants with roots appeared about ________ million years ago.

　　A. 430　　　　　B. 300　　　　　 C. 330　　　　　 D. 100

62．According to the passage, ________ appeared earlier than ________.

　　A. apples; oranges　　　　　　　　 B. oranges; apples

　　C. oranges; roses　　　　　　　　　D. algae; wheat

 

任务型阅读 （共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）
认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的横线上填入最恰当的单词。 
注意：每空只填一个单词。
Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here is how.　　
1). Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you can have to do. After making the list, you should make a schedule of your time. First time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don’t forget to set aside enough time fro entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.　　
2). Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room. Free from everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject. 　　
3). Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what your teachers say.　　
4). Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teachers mentioned in class. If you want to know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read the material in advance. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.　　
5). Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be overly worried.　
There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.
