The Internet can be a very fun and useful tool.

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从31—40 各题所给的四个选项（A，B，C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Many people use e-mail to communicate with each other. If you have access to a computer, it is a great way to send messages easily, quickly and as often as you like. No longer is it necessary to find a pen and paper, not to 31 an envelope or a stamp.
Are we missing anything by not writing 32 letters to people? Is the experience of receiving such letters worth the trouble of writing them? Most people would probably reply,” No, it is a waste of paper 33 ; this is a much better system.” It is hard to argue 34 such a viewpoint. However, I would like to try.
I believe that this kind of letters people 35 to write tended to be more meaningful than billions of email sent today. Of course, when it 36 to sending quick messages, email is the best. If 37 is important, email is particularly useful. If, however, you want really to reach out and touch someone, a letter is more personal.
Handwritten letters are the most personal. If you can type fast, you can fit a lot into a letter. What’s 38 is that special sense of the person that comes from seeing her or his handwriting. 39 it’s legible (可辨认的), it doesn’t matter how tidy it is. When someone sits down and writes just for you, you feel that when you are reading it.
Though I’m a teenager, I admit that I, too, feel excited to read a letter in the mail. I love seeing my name written by hand on a(n) 40 . You make yourself a nice cup of tea, sit down in a comfortable place, open your letter, and enjoy everything that the person put into those words just for you. What a gift!

From the jagged (锯齿状的) peaks of the Himalayas to the powerful Yangtze River that flows into the Pacific, China’s vast terrain (地带) and varied climate make it the sixth most biologically diverse nation on the planet.
Since 1998, The Nature Conservancy has been working in China’s northwest Yunnan Province to protect some of the amazing natural and cultural diversity unique to this country for its future generations.

Edmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200years ago. He studied the observations of comets which other scientists had made. The orbit of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.
However, Halley had a friend named Isaac Newton. Who was a brilliant mathematician. Newton thought he had already he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse.
Now Halley set to work. He figured out the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientist. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607 and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart.
This seemed very strange to Halley. Three different comets followed the same orbit. The more Halley thought about it, the more he thought that there had not been three different comets, as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come back again.
It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction of what would happen in the future. He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before Halley’s prediction could be tested.
In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some years before. Ever since then that comet been called Halley’s comet, in his honor.
60. Halley made his discovery ______.
A. by doing experiments B. by means of his own careful observation
C. by using the work of other scientists D. by chance
61. Halley made a surprising but correct prediction in the year ________.
A.1704 B.1705 C. 1706 D.1707
62. This text in general is about _______.
A. Halley and other scientists B. the orbit of a comet
C. Newton and Halley D. Halley and Halley comet
63. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Edmund Halley was an American scientist.
B. Halley made his discovery by doing experiments.
C. Isaac Newton was a famous mathematician.
D. The orbit of a comet had the shape of an around.
C
Millions of years ago dinosaurs lived on the earth. In the days of dinosaurs, the whole earth was warm and wet. There were green forests and they could find enough to eat. Later, parts of the earth became cold and dry, and the forests there died. Then dinosaurs could not find enough to eat. This must be one reason why dinosaurs died out.
We can guess another reason. New kinds of animals came on the earth. Some had big brains and strong .They could kill dinosaurs.
There may be other reasons that we don’t know about yet. Scientists are trying to make more discoveries about dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs were of many sizes and shapes. Some were as small as chickens, while some were about 90 feet long.
There were also terrible rights between dinosaurs. They might have happened more than 100 million years ago. Though there was no man to see any of the fights, we can be told by the animal’s footprints(足迹)that fights did take place .
64. According to the passage, dinosaurs did exist only on the earth _______.
A. for millions of year B. millions of years ago
C. more than 100 million years ago D. when it was warm and wet somewhere
65. One reason why dinosaurs died out is that __________.
A. there were too many dinosaurs
B. parts of the earth became cold and dry
C. the dead forests there could not supply them with enough food
D. they couldn’t find enough go eat
66. One more reason why dinosaurs died out may be that _______.

The blue tits(山雀) have been inspecting the nest-box again this year. The male is the house-hunter but the female will make the final choice. He lands at the hole and turns his head to expose his white cheeks as a signal to attract the female from where she has been feeding.
Among many birds that nest in holes, the male has a light-coloured patch on its plumage(鸟羽) which acts as signal for drawing the female’s attention to a suitable nesting-place. Unlike the blue tit, the redstart(红尾鸲) may be only the male that strikingly coloured and the female is not beautiful.
A few years ago I was lucky enough to spot a pair of redstarts in action in a Walsh wood. The male was leading an interested female to holes that he had previously(先前) checked out. He sat at the entrance of each hole and put his head on to show off his white forehead, or his head in to reveal(显露) his tail.
If the female failed to react to his visual signals, the male sometimes sang for extra effect, while gliding towards her on spread wings and tail. Once the female accepts by following the male through the hole the displays stop, you must be at the right place at the right time to watch them.
68 How do the blue tits choose their nest?
A. They choose their nest together.
B. The male chooses their nest.
C. The house-hunter chooses their nest.
D. The female chooses their nest.
69. The writer was lucky to see ________.
A. how the male made his tricks
B. how an interested female played with the male happily
C. what the male displayed and won the female
D. that the male tried his best but failed to attract the female
70. You can spot a pair of redstarts in a Walsh wood ________.
A. at any time B. regularly C. in April D. occasionally
71. The writer is probably ________.
A. a bird expert B. a bird-hunter
C. a bird raiser D. a scientist
E
With only about 1, 000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone(克隆) the animal and save the endangered species(物种). That’s a more similar to what a Texas A & M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noah’s Ark”.
Noah’s Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & M’s College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.
It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.
This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.
The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.
“The nuclear transfer(核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available(capable of being used) panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). It takes a long time and it’s difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort,” adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A& M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.
“They are trying to do something that’s never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah’s Ark. We’re both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and there’s a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. It’s a research that is very much needed.”
72. The aim of “Noah’s Ark” project is to _______.
A. make efforts to clone the endangered pandas
B. save endangered animals from dying out
C. collect DNA of endangered animals to study
D. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another
73. According to Professor Kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of _______.
A. available panda eggs B. host animals
C. qualified researchers D. enough money
74. The best title for the passage may be _______.
A. China’s Success in Pandas Cloning
B. The First Cloned Panda in the World
C. Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas
D. China —the Native Place of Pandas Forever
75. From the passage we know that _______.
A. Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dog
B. scientists try to implant a panda’s egg into a rabbit
C. Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researches
D. about two thousand of species will probably die out in a century

Heroes for the American youth
Every country has its heroes. The heroes are the people the nation and especially the young people admire. 61_____
Today in American ,if you ask the high school students to list their heroes, their choices would probably fall into three groups.

A third type of hero is the TV or movie stars. These people may have lots of acting talent and quite handsome.

These people are not rich and do not wear fashionable clothes. 64_____.
65______. They like to wear the same clothes and followed their styles. If the heroes of today for the American young people are limited only to rock stars, athletes and actors, the future does not look too bright.

四阅读理解
41. B（细节理解题。从第一段第二、三行可以找到答案）。
42. C（辨别正误题。根据第三段的“Nearly 15,000 plant species are native to Yunnan Province”可以判断C项错误，而其他三项的表述都可从文中找出证据证明它们是正确的，所以答案是C项。）
43. A（细节理解题。从末段的第二、三行可以得知答案。）
44. D（观点态度题。末段第一行表明了作者对旅游业的看法是兼顾利与弊，这才是最客观的观点，所以正确答案是D项。）
45. C 从第一段第一句话可以看出，哈雷的发现是在研究其他科学家的观察中得出的，其它选项与本文内容不符。
46. B 首先确定彗星下次出现的时间是1758年，然后确定这一事件距离他预测的时间是53年，再用1758减去53年就可以得出正确答案。
47. D 通读全文，就可以看出全文的大意，文章的每一段都在介绍哈雷及他的发现，另外也可以从文章的首尾句看出本文的主旨大意。
48. C 本文第一句话说哈雷是一个英国科学家，故A项是错误的；从第二句可以看出，哈雷的发现是在研究其他科学家观察的基础上得出的，所以B项是错误的；从第二段最后一句可得知哈雷彗星的轨道是椭圆形的，所以排除D项。本题题材还可以根据自己的常识来选出C项为正确答案。
49. B （文章第一句话“Millions of years ago dinosaurs lived on the earth.”可知恐龙生活于几百万年前。）
50. D（文章第一段介绍恐龙灭绝的一个原因是缺乏食物，而B项是导致食物缺乏的一个原因。）
51. B（第二段介绍恐龙灭绝的另一个原因是出现了更大、更强、更聪明的生物，它们有可能把恐龙杀灭。）
52. C（从文章第三段第二句话“Scientists are trying to make more discoveries about dinosaurs.”可知，科学家正在对恐龙进行更进一步的研究，由此推知恐龙值得研究。）
53. D 细节题。从第1段第2句话The male is the house-hunter but the female will make the final choice 可以做出正确选择。
54. C 判断题。从第3段第1句I was lucky enough to spot a pair of redstarts in action in a Walsh wood 和文章第三、四段的内容可知答案为C。
55. D 语义理解题。根据 A few years ago I was lucky enough to…和…you must be at the right place at the right time to see them 可知答案为D。
56. A 推断题。从文章内容来看，文中不仅提到了鸟的一些习性，而且对雄鸟如何吸引雌鸟入巢了解得很清楚，可见作者可能是一位研究鸟类的专家。
57. B 语义理解题。从第2段内容可知，“诺亚方舟”工程的目标是把濒临灭绝的动物的蛋(卵)、胚胎、精液和DNA储存在液体氮中，如果某一种动物濒临灭绝时，将来可以重现这一动物。
58. A 细节题。从第6段第1句话 The nuclear transfer(核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available (capable of being used ) panda eggs could be a major problem 可以做出正确判断。
59. C 主旨题。从文章内容来看，无论是中国还是世界克隆熊猫还没有成功，所以排除A、B项；D项内容明显与文章内容不符，故排除。所以“探索克隆熊猫的可能性”应该是这篇文章的标题。
60. D 判断题。此题B项的干扰性较强，但由于它没有说明是Chinese scientists，所以应排除。A、C项明显与原文不符。根据文章第3段第1句可知答案非D莫属。

Dear Mr. Editor,
All the students of our school are strongly against the construction of a chemical works near our school. Although it makes a lot of money for our city, we do think it will do us more harm than good. The drinking water will be badly polluted. And the air over the city will be polluted, too. We will never be able to breathe fresh air. How can we live and study here any longer? By the way, it also does harm to the people living in the neighborhood. Last but not least, the site of the chemical works has been the only place where we students play games and have sports after school. If such a factory were built there, where should we go?
