Passage 12(2011黑龍江哈爾濱，A) 

    Venice is an attractive city in Italy.Tourists throughoul ihe world love traveling to Venice. But sometimes you’ll have such strange expe- riences.One moment you walk across tlie Rialto Bridge ,and there ’s  nothing speoial.Unfortunately,when you come back to the bridge an hour later,it’s underwater and everyone's wearing rain hoots.

    That?s just the way it has always been,which may be considered seriously by Italian government. Before the sea comes to Venice,the government has decided to build the MOSE gates. Actually (實(shí)際上) , there were many kinds of gates that were built to stop the floods,hut all the gates were just built on the ground. Besides,the flooding was becoming worse. Industrial (工業(yè)的) factories buill nearby on the mainland also made the condition get worse,causing the city to sink about 0. 75 feet in the 20th century.

    So the Italian government asked some of Italy's biggest construction and engineering companies to build the MOSE project,which was planned to be built under the sea water to stop floods. Now the government are using 3 000 people and expect to spend nearly five billion euros (歐元) on it.The MOSE gates are being built at the inlets (海灣) .Each MOSE gate is 197 feet long,28. 5 to 37 feet tall,and weighs up to 22 tons. It's nearly the size of a 20-story building. Before the gates are in use,they are under the sea and full of water. When the flood comes,the water in the gates will be poured out,and then the gates will be filled with air. So the gates can go up with the sea water. Once they’re in the right place,they will stop the sea water pouring into Venice.These gates will be able to deal with floods up to 10 feet,and as long as the sea level (平面) rises no more than two feet in the next 100 years,the MOSE will work as expected.

    The MOSE project is now two-thirds done.The head engineer,Giovanni Cecconi,said, uThis is a war.During the war,it's not impor?tant that you win. Ifs important that youVe alive. We're alive. 'Anyway,this project is saving Venice from falling.

1. The underlined word4' construction' in the passage means “ ”in Chinese.

   A. 建筑   B. 農(nóng)業(yè)   C. 交通

2. Before building the MOSE gates,the Italian government   stop the floods.

  B. built many kinds of gates on the ground

  C. built some gates which were under the ground 

3. When the flood comes,  can describe the working steps of the MOSE gates.

          

   A. a—?b—>c   B. b——>^c   C. b—>c—?a 

4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

  A. The Italian government are using 3 000 people and expect to spend nearly five billion dollars on the MOSE.

  B. The MOSE project is half done now.

  C. Each MOSE gate is 197 feet long,28. 5 to 37  feet tall,and weighs up to 22  tons.

Passage 7(2014 江蘇鎮(zhèn)江，C)

    “In my day,we had to walk a mile to school—uphill,both ways." That may sound like an old joke.Today,only 13  percent of kids walk to school,down from 66 percent 30  years ago.

    Studies show that fewer children are walking and biking to school,and more children are at risk of becoming overweight. Changing behaviors of children and parents requires creative ways that are safe and fun.

    A walking school bus can be both.

    It works like a bus,picking up  passengers along the way at designated (指定的) “bus stops” except everyone is walking!

    The Walking School Bus works as a supervised group of children walking to and from school along a safe and enjoyable set route.There are at least two parents in a group.One parent “drives” at the front of the bus,while the other parent supervises at the back. The different supervisors go with the children to and from school. Ad- ditional (增加的) parents may be needed depending on the walking environment.

    The “bus” can go as often as parents want to “ drive” it and children want to use it.This means that it can even work as little as one morning or afternoon each week. All children are welcome to join the bus even if their parents cannot be drivers. And the service is free.

    Socially,it's great because the children meet other children;oth?erwise they would only know by sight.

    “ My children have formed some good friendships because of the Walking Bus.The parents get to know other parents too!" a parent said From our experience of the Walking Bus,it has only been a meaningful thing.lt gets all of us walking more and the children do not complain about walking like they used to.

    Some kids said compared to the Walking School Bus,it's boring in a car when they were asked why not get into a car.

    Besides these,it might have a good effect on heavy traffic.

1. How many students walked to school 30 years ago?

   A. 66 percent. B. 13 percent.

   C. 30 percent.  D.53 percent.

2. What does the underlined word “supervised” mean in the pas?sage?

   A. controlled   B. explored

   C. required   D. improved 

3. What can the Walking School Bus NOT do to help the children    .

  A. make more friends 

  B. reduce the risk of being overweight 

  C. exercise more

  D. complain about walking

4. The best title of this passage is   

  A. A new way to exercise

  B. A new school bus

  C. A walking school bus

  D. Parents’ driving school bus

Most people called it the 44 Blue-Backed SpellerM because of its blue cover.

    For 100 years,Noah's book taught children how to read,spell,and pronounce words.lt was the most popular American book of its lime.Ben Franklin used Noah^ book to teach his granddaughter to read.

He thought that all Americans should speak in the same way. He also thought that Americans should not speak and spell just like the English. Noah used American spellings like color instead of the English colour and music instead of musick. He also added American words that weren^ in English dictionaries like skunk and squash.He spent over 27 years writing his dictionary.When Noah accomplished (完成) his dictionary in 1828,at the age of 70 ,the first American dictionary came out.It had 70,000 words in it.
