Snake dishes have become popular in recent years. Snake meat is often seen in restaurants. It seems that eating snakes is now in fashion, and if you ( A ) ___________ (not eat) any snakes yet, you’re considered out-of-date. But I wonder whether it is worth following.
Some people think that eating snake meat is good for their health. But these people don’t know that snakes usually eat mice and worms. Therefore, there are many parasites（寄生蟲）found inside snakes’ bodies. ( B ) 它們可能對我們的健康有害。 Apart from this, we’re sorry to see that more snakes are being killed by a butcher’s knife. According to the newspaper, Shanghai Star, about 1,000 tons of snakes are eaten by people every year in China. In Shenzhen of Guangdong Province, sometimes as many as 10 tons of snakes are served on dinner tables in a single day. ( C ) If we still turn a blind eye to this, a vicious circle（惡性循環(huán)）will be created — if more snakes are eaten by people, the number of snakes will drop, and the number of mice will increase, which will result in a decrease in crop output. This will make more people hungry. Who wants to see such a tragedy?
( D ) Therefore, let’s not eat snakes any more! To protect the snakes is to protect ourselves.
小題1:用 ( A ) 處所給詞的正確形式填空。 ________________________
小題2:將 ( B ) 處的句子翻譯成英語。
___________________________________________________________________________________
小題3:將 ( C ) 處翻譯成漢語。
__________________________________________________________________________________
小題4:改寫 ( D ) 處的句子，句意不變。
Therefore, let’s ___________ ____________ eating snakes!
小題5:根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題：
What will happen if people eat more snakes? ____________________________________________________

小題1:have eaten
小題2:They may do harm to our health./They may be bad for our health.
小題3:如果我們對此視而不見，那將會產(chǎn)生惡性循環(huán)。
小題4:give up
小題5:It will make more people hungry at last./

試題分析：這篇短文主要介紹了蛇的菜肴在最近幾年已經(jīng)成為一種流行時尚食品。蛇肉經(jīng)常會出現(xiàn)在餐館。但是如果過多的蛇被殺死老鼠會增多，莊稼會遭到破壞，人們的生存環(huán)境會受到威脅。
小題1:根據(jù)句意，如果你到現(xiàn)在還不吃蛇，你就過時了。根據(jù)句意，故用現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài)，故填have eaten
小題2:be bad for 對……有害，故填They may do harm to our health./They may be bad for our health.
小題3:if 如果，條件狀語從句，故填如果我們對此視而不見，那將會產(chǎn)生惡性循環(huán)。
小題4:根據(jù)句意，所以讓我們不要再吃蛇了，故填give up
小題5:根據(jù)if more snakes are eaten by people, the number of snakes will drop, and the number of mice will increase, which will result in a decrease in crop output. This will make more people hungry.可知吃蛇導致的后果，故填I(lǐng)t will make more people hungry at last./

閱讀短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。（共10分，每小題2分）
We’ve all heard of mermaids. They are the beautiful half-human, half-fish creatures(生物). They have the head and body of a human and the tail of a fish. We also know that mermaids only exist in fairy tales. But where did all the stories about these creatures come from? If you have ever seen a manatee, then you might have an idea.

Manatees, which are also called sea cows, are mammals(哺乳動物) that live in the sea. Since they are mammals, they have to swim up to the surface to breathe air. Many people believe that the story of the mermaid began with the ancient sailors who saw the manatees putting their heads out of the water to breathe. Because manatees are upright when they do this, it looks like they are standing. If a sailor saw a manatee doing this from far away across the sea, it is possible that the sailor would mistake the manatee for a creature that is half-human, half-fish.
Mermaids are described as having very long hair. This is probably because manatees like to swim up to the surface of the water in areas where there is sea grass. Manatees eat all kinds of plants in the sea, including sea grass. The sea grass around the manatee’s head when they eat could create a picture of long hair.

Manatees also have powerful tails that are very similar to the fish-like tail of a mermaid. The sailors probably watched manatees come up for air and then swim back below the surface, using their paddle-shaped tails. This would explain why the sailors thought mermaids had fish-like tails.
小題1:What are mermaids?
小題2:Where do manatees live?
小題3:Do manatees need to breathe air out of water?
小題4:What do manatees eat?
小題5:Why did the ancient sailors mistake manatees for mermaids?

People enjoy taking trips. But what are the reasons they leave home? One reason is for education. People travel because they want to learn more about other people and other places. They are curious about other cultures. When people are tourists, they get a quick look at different ways of living. Even a short look at another kind of lifestyle is an important lesson. On a trip, a person can learn directly by visiting museums and historic spots. What does a tourist learn who sees the art museums, visits the historical palaces and other scenic spots in Paris and shops along the River Seine?

What about the tourist who goes to Hong Kong? Does he get the same information that he could get from a book? He might read that Hong Kong is crowded, that there is less than 200 square meters of space for each person. But seeing and feeling the lack of space will impress him much more. He might read that there are nearly 200 vehicles for every kilometer of roadway. But the sight of so many vehicles parked along the roadside would be a much more vivid lesson.

Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced still swim as well as ever ever since. A man when he gets back who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star"。remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of over learning , which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(嘗試)increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overleam.
The multinlicatinn tables(乘法口訣表)are an excention to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.
The law of overleaming explains why cramming(突擊學習)for an examination. though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject  well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned.A little overlearning. on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.
小題1:What is the main idea of paragraph I?
A．People remember well what they learned in childhood.
B．Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
C．Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D．Stories for children arc easy to remember.
小題2:The author explains the law of overleaming by_________.
A．presenting research findings
B．selling down general rules
C．making a comparison
D．using examples
小題3:According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_______.
A．a(chǎn) result of overlearning
B．a(chǎn) special case of cramming
C．a(chǎn) skill to deal with math problems
D．a(chǎn) basic step towards advanced studies
小題4:What is the author's opinion on cramming?
A．It leads to failure in college exams.
B．It's helpful only in a limited way.
C．It's possible to result in poor memory.
D．It increases students' learning interest.
