10.Some plants get so hungry they eat flies,and even small frogs.What's more amazing is that these plants occur naturally (in special environments) in every state.In fact,they're found on every continent except Antarctica.
You've probably seen a Venus'flytrap--a small plant,which grows 6 to 8 inches tall in a container.At the end of its stalks (莖) are leaves that act like traps (陷阱).Inside each trap is a lining of tiny hairs.When an insect lands on them,the traps suddenly shut.Over the course of a week or so,the plant feeds on its catch.
The Venus'flytrap is just one of more than 500 species of meat-eating plants,says Barry Meyers-Rice,the editor of the International Carnivorous Plant Society's Newsletter.He states although you might have read some science-fiction stories,no meat-eating plant does any danger to humans.
Barry says a plant is meat-eating,only if it does all four of the following:"attract,kill,digest,and absorb"some form of insects.Meat-eating plants look and act like other green plants--well,most of the time.
All green plants make sugar to produce food.What makes meat-eating plants different is their special leaves,which need insects for one reason:nitrogen (氮).Nitrogen is a nutrient that they can't obtain any other way.Why?
Almost all green plants on our planet get nitrogen from the soil.Meat-eating plants can't.They live in places where nutrients are hard to get from the soil because of its acidity.So they've come to rely on getting nitrogen from insects and small animals.In fact,nutrient-rich soft is poisonous to meat-eating plants.Never fertilize (施肥) them!But don't worry,either,if they never seem to catch any insects.They can survive,but they'll grow very slowly.
64.According to the passage,a Venus'flytrapC.
A.is a small plant which grows in a container
B.is a kind of plant which gets hungry easily
C.can trap and feed on some form of insects
D.can only grow 6-8 inches tall
65.From the passage,we can infer thatC.
A.meat-eating plants are found nowhere else except Antarctica
B.a(chǎn)ll green plants get nitrogen from the soil
C.meat-eating plants endanger humans in science-fiction stories
D.the nutrient-poor soil is beneficial to meat-eating plants
66.Meat-eating plants grow very slowly,B.
A.so you'd better fertilize them
B.probably because the supply of nitrogen is cut off
C.simply because they can't absorb nitrogen from the soil
D.a(chǎn)nd then they will die slowly
67.Which of the following is true?C
A.Meat-eating plants look and act like other green plants.
B.It's hard to get nutrients in the soil when acidity is high.
C.The Venus'flytrap eats flies to get nutrient from them.
D.Green plants make sugar at night.

分析 本文屬于科教類說明文,作者通過這篇文章向我們介紹了食肉植物,這類植物生活在除了南極洲以外的世界各地;因?yàn)闊o法從土壤中獲取營(yíng)養(yǎng),它們需要捕食昆蟲以獲得氮;因?yàn)榭苹眯≌f的描寫使 人們誤認(rèn)為食肉植物對(duì)人類是有害的,但是作者在文章中闡述了食肉植物對(duì)人類是沒有任何危險(xiǎn)的,而且食肉植物可以在營(yíng)養(yǎng)貧瘠的土壤中生長(zhǎng),不過長(zhǎng)得慢.

解答 64.答案是C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題;從第二段的句子"When an insect lands on them,the traps suddenly shut.Over the course of a week or so,the plant feeds on its catch.(當(dāng)昆蟲落在它們上面時(shí),陷阱突然關(guān)閉.在大約一周的時(shí)間里,這個(gè)植物就以此為食.)"可知 Venus'flytrap可以捕捉吃一些昆蟲,故選C.
65.答案是C.推理題;從第三段的句子"He states although you might have read some science-fiction stories,no meat-eating plant does any danger to humans.(他說雖然你也許看過科幻小說,沒有肉食植物對(duì)人有危害.)"可知科幻小說中食肉的植物對(duì)人有害.故選C.
66.答案是B.推理題;從最后一段的句子"So they've come to rely on getting nitrogen from insects and small animals.(因此它們--肉食植物--依賴來自昆蟲和小動(dòng)物的營(yíng)養(yǎng).)"和"if they never seem to catch any insects.They can survive,but they'll grow very slowly.(如果它們捉不到昆蟲,它們能夠存活,但是生長(zhǎng)緩慢.)"可知食肉動(dòng)物是通過吃昆蟲獲得氮,如果不能吃昆蟲,就會(huì)生長(zhǎng)緩慢.選B.
67.答案是C.推理題;從第五段的句子:What makes meat-eating plants different is their special leaves,which need insects for one reason:nitrogen (氮).可以推斷出The Venus'flytrap 吃蒼蠅是為了得到氮,故選C.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考查學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力.做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確選擇.在做推理判斷題時(shí)不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí),要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

20.A simple flower made headlines in the British press last week.How could that be?British Prime Minister David Cameron and his ministers were attending a reception(招待會(huì))hosted by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.They insisted on wearing poppies (罌粟花) in their buttonholes.
What's wrong with that?
According to the Global Times,Chinese officials had clearly asked the UK delegation not to wear poppies.The British said that poppies meant a great deal to them on that day and they would wear them all the same.
So what's the importance of the poppy?It's a flower which has different cultural and symbolic meanings for British and Chinese people.
From the Chinese point of view,the poppy is a symbol of China's humiliation(恥辱) at the hands of European powers in the Opium Wars(鴉片戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)) of the 19th century.Britain forced China to open the borders to trade-including in the opium-which was made from poppies grown in India.
Yet from the British viewpoint the poppy is a reminder of the killing during World WarⅠ.Red poppies grew on the battlefields of Flanders in Belgium where many thousands of British soldiers died or were buried.Since then,Poppy Day (November 11 ) has become a time in the UK to wear poppies and remember the sacrifices of British soldiers and civilians in times of war.
So you can see that the poppy sets off strong feelings in the hearts of Chinese and British people for different reasons.And it makes sense for us to try to understand each other's standpoint.
Of course cultural differences can also be interesting and funny.And what one nation thinks is an acceptable gift may be viewed differently by their guest from overseas.US President Barack Obama gave a gift of an iPod to Britain's Queen-a dull person with no interest in music.Obama also presented Gordon Brown with a fine selection of American movies.But they were in US format and impossible to play on British DVD players.
Many countries have diplomats(外交官)stationed overseas.Diplomats provide information and advice to their governments back home.However,sometimes it would seem that even diplomats can overlook the cultural importance of a small flower.
29.British Prime Minister David Cameron probably attended a reception in Beijing onB.
A.October 1   
B.November 11    
C.December 31
D.January 1
30.The poppy reminds the Chinese ofA.
A.the shame caused by European countries in the 19th century
B.the British soldiers who were killed and buried during World WarⅠ
C.the Chinese soldiers killed during World WarⅡ
D.the suffering caused by Britain during World WarⅠ
31.The diplomatic problem in Beijing is mainly caused byC.
A.the translation mistake          
B.the language difference
C.the cultural difference           
D.the different lifestyle
32.We can infer thatD.
A.Britain's Queen is not interested in art
B.Gordon Brown was fond of American movies US President Obama sent him
C.US President Obama received a gift for music
D.Britain's Queen may not like the iPod US President Obama presented her.

18.Lighthouses are remainders from the past that ships and sailors once sought in order to navigate dangerous U.S.coastal waters.But today,those remaining ones have fallen mostly into disuse,except as tourist attractions and old reminders of a romantic period.The U.S.Coast Guard and the U.S.Lighthouse Society say there are about 600lighthouses remaining in the U.S.,and some of those are at risk,having suffered from years of neglect (忽略).
Dave Eshbaugh of the Oregon State Parks Trust,believes in preserving them."They are worth saving.I think it would be disrespectful to our history and people to let them fall down and go away."
Preservation societies in several states are attempting to keep lighthouses from disappearing. And the U.S.Congress is trying to help.In 2000,lawmakers passed the Lighthouse Preservation Act that lets the Coast Guard transfer ownership of lighthouses,at no cost,to public and private organizations.Local,state and federal agencies also can benefit from the act.
Some private citizens also are helping to restore abandoned lighthouses.Steve and Michelle Bursey own the Heceta Head Lighthouse.It is not just their home,but also their livelihood.
Not far from the lighthouse is the lighthouse keeper's house.The Burseys have changed it into a bed and breakfast inn.They say the income from their business pays for the necessary repairs that keep the lighthouse in condition.Michelle says it is a labor of love."We have to constantly put hours and hours of time and labor into making it shine."
Aside from making Heceta Head their home and business,the Burseys have a great appreciation for the history and the importance associated with their lighthouse.
"It's important to keep them up,"says Steve."Once they're gone,you can never bring them back."They are vivid reminders of a previous times and a way of life that people like Steve and Michelle Bursey think are worth preserving.They are part of America's history,its legend,and its
sailing past.

15.There is a definite possibility that the climate of the world may be changing.Some scientists imagine that this could even mean the beginning of another ice age.The effects of such a change in climate on the human population of the world would be amazing.
  Recent research suggests that the general warming trend of the past hundred years or so may be coming to an end.During the past ten years,meteorologists(氣象學(xué)家)tell us the average temperature of the earth has dropped about one degree Fahrenheit.This does not seem like much,but it could have effects on wind and rain patterns which influence the overall weather picture.If these patterns change a lot,it could mean that certain regions of the world may continue to have long droughts(干旱)while others will possibly suffer from widespread flooding.
  What regulates the climate is not exactly known.Meteorologists believe that clouds may be an important factor in regulating the amount of solar(太陽的)heat held by the earth,which in turn determines the temperature of the planet.Another possibility is that man's industrial and agricultural methods may be affecting the natural weather patterns.However,the weather is not understood well enough for scientists to say for certain what is happening to the climate and what side effects this will actually have on the world's population.
56.According to the text,the climate of the world seems toA.
A.be getting colder
B.be getting warmer
C.remain the same in the past ten years
D.have good effects on the world's population
57.According to what you have read,which of the following is true?D
A.Another ice age will come soon.
B.Man's activities have no effect on the climate.
C.People don't care about the changing climate.
D.Scientists are not yet sure about the reason for the changing climate.
58.The underlined word"regulates"in the third paragraph probably means"B".
A.manages          B.controls        C.prevents       D.protects
59.The best title for the text would beC.

2.One evening I went out and left my 17-year-old son in charge of his 8-year-old brother and 4-year-old sister.On this occasion,the work was made less troublesome by the presence of his girl friend.I left with complete confidence that the older children would do a wonderful job of babysitting the younger children.Later,I discovered that complete confidence was the last thing I should have left home with.
I had decided to return home earlier than planned so that my son and his girlfriend could go out.I called home with this happy news.But instead of hearing his cheerful,grateful voice on the other end of the line,all I heard was the sound of a telephone ringing.
