【題目】閱讀下面材料，在空白處填入適當(dāng)?shù)膬?nèi)容（1個(gè)單詞）或括號(hào)內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。
As is known to us, the year 2016 has one extra day in it — February 29th. This is because it's we call “a leap year”. Every four years, the year has 366 days in instead of 365.
It is called a leap year because hundreds of years ago in England, the extra day wasn't (legal) recognized. There is a well-known tradition in the UK (associate) with February 29th, introduced many centuries ago. Women are allowed to break with tradition and propose(求婚) to their boyfriends on this day. This all started back in the (five) century, when a famous Irish saint made a (complain) that women had to wait too long for men to propose. According to the legend, Saint Patrick said any female dreaming of a proposal could ask her boyfriend to marry her on this additional day in February. This so-called tradition (write) in law in the thirteenth century. Scotland passed a law allowing women to propose to men in a leap year. It was said that if the men refused, they had to pay a fine!
Now in 2016, there are calls February 29th to become a public holiday. Some people believe that it should be an (office) day off, because no one gets (many) payments for working an extra day in a leap year. For the moment though, the British still have to go to work on this day.

【答案】what；it；legally；associated；fifth；complaint；was written；for；official；more
【解析】本文屬于說(shuō)明文，介紹了2016年的2月29日成為了額外多出來(lái)的一天，人們呼吁把這一天設(shè)成公共假期。

①what 考查表語(yǔ)從句。本句中what引導(dǎo)表語(yǔ)從句，并在句中作為動(dòng)詞call的賓語(yǔ)。句意：這是因?yàn)槲覀儼?016年成為閏年。

②it 考查代詞。動(dòng)詞it常指上文提到的同一事物，表示特指。本句中的it就是指本句主語(yǔ)the year。

③legally 考查副詞。在英語(yǔ)中副詞通常做狀語(yǔ)修飾形容詞、副詞、動(dòng)詞或整個(gè)句子。本句中使用副詞legally修飾謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞wasn't recognized。

④associated 考查形容詞。本句中形容詞短語(yǔ)associated with February做定語(yǔ)，修飾名詞短語(yǔ)a well-known tradition。

⑤fifth 考查序數(shù)詞。名詞短語(yǔ)the fifth century第五世紀(jì)；如果使用基數(shù)詞，后面要使用復(fù)數(shù)名詞。

⑥complaint 考查名詞。橫線前有冠詞a修飾，我們橫線上應(yīng)該使用名詞作make的賓語(yǔ)，動(dòng)詞complain的名詞是complaint。

⑦was written 考查時(shí)態(tài)語(yǔ)態(tài)。本句時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)是in the thirteenth century,這是一個(gè)過(guò)去時(shí)間，且主語(yǔ)與動(dòng)詞write構(gòu)成被動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以使用一般過(guò)去時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)was written.

⑧for 考查不定式復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)。不定式復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)為：for sb/sth to do sth；該短語(yǔ)在句中做定語(yǔ)修飾calls。句意：有人呼吁把2月29日當(dāng)成公共假日。

⑨official 考查形容詞。橫線后有名詞day，說(shuō)明橫線上應(yīng)使用形容詞，名詞office的形容詞形式為official.

⑩more 考查比較級(jí)。句意：一些人認(rèn)為這一天應(yīng)該是一個(gè)公共假日，因?yàn)闆](méi)有人因?yàn)檫@額外地多工作一天而獲得更多的報(bào)酬。根據(jù)句意可知使用比較級(jí)形式more。

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Most animals have little connection with animals of a different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership (伙伴關(guān)系) which is good for both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites (寄生蟲(chóng)) on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other, they do better together.
Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals(珊瑚) of the sea. In their skins they have tiny plants which act as “dustmen”, taking some of the waste products from the coral and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are even prevented from receiving light so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.
（1）Some birds like to sit on a sheep because _______.
A.they can eat its parasites
B.they enjoy travelling with the sheep
C.they depend on the sheep for existence
D.they find the position most comfortable
（2）The underlined word “they” in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to ______.
A.birds and parasites
B.birds and sheep
C.parasites and sheep
D.sheep, birds and parasites
（3）We learn from the text that corals depend on plants for______.
A.comfort
B.light
C.food
D.oxygen
（4）What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?
A.Some animals and plants depend on each other for existence[
B.Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily.
C.Some plants depend on each other for food.
D.Some animals live better together.

Experiments under way in several labs aim to create beneficial types of genetically modified foods, including starchier potatoes and caffeine-free coffee beans. Genetic engineers are even trying to transfer genes from a cold-winter fish to make a frost-resistant tomato.
A low-sugar GM strawberry now in the works might one day allow people with health problems such as diabetes (糖尿病) to enjoy the little delicious red fruits again. GM beans and grains rich in protein(蛋白質(zhì)) might help people at risk of developing kwashiorkor. Kwashiorkor, a disease caused by severe lack of protein, is common in parts of the world where there are severe food shortages.
Commenting on GM foods, Jonathon Jones, a British researcher, said: "The future benefits will be enormous（巨大的）, and the best is yet to come". To some people, GM foods are no different from unmodified foods. "A tomato is a tomato," said Brian Sansoni, an American food manufacturer.
Critics of GM foods challenge Sansoni's opinion. They worry about the harm that GM crops might do to people, other animals, and plants.
In a recent lab study conducted at Cornell University, scientists tested pollen(花粉) made by BT corn, which makes up one-fourth of the U.S. corn crop. The scientist dropped the pollen onto milkweed, a plant that is the only known food source of a butterfly caterpillar(毛蟲(chóng)). Within four days of feeding on the leaves, almost half of a test group of caterpillars died. "This is a warning bell." said Cornell researcher Linda Raynor.
Some insects that are not killed by GM foods might find themselves made stronger. How so? The insecticides are used on the crops to kill the pests. But GM plants produce a continuous level of insecticide. Insects relying on those crops may develop resistance to the plants and they may also develop a resistance to the insecticide.
At the forum on GM food held last year in Canada. GM crops that have been made resistant to the herbicide might crossbreed with wild plants, creating "superweeds" that could take over whole fields.
So where do you stand? Should GM food be banned in the United States, as they are in parts of Europe? Or do their benefits outweigh（勝過(guò)） any of the risks they might carry?
（1）The first three paragraphs try to give the idea that__________
A.GM foods may bring about great benefits to humans.
B.GM foods are no different from ordinary ones.
C.GM foods may have both benefits and harm.
D.GM foods are particularly good to the kwashiorkor patients.
（2）Why is the pollen-sprayed milkweed mentioned in Paragraph 5?
A.To show GM foods can kill insects effectively.
B.To show GM foods contain more protein.
C.To show GM foods also have a dark side.
D.To show GM foods may harm crops.
（3）What happens to those insects when not killed by the spray of insecticide?
A.They may lose their ability to produce lay eggs.
B.They may have a higher ability to adapt to the environment.
C.They move to other fields free from insecticide.
D.They never eat again those plants containing insecticide.
（4）Which of the following statements concerning banning GM foods is true according to the passage?
A.Underdeveloped countries have banned GM foods.
B.Both Europe and the U.S. have banned GM foods.
C.Most European countries have not banned GM foods.
D.The United States has not banned GM foods.

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicted that 42% of Americans could be overweight by 2030. Our expanding waistlines lead to not only a medical problem, but according to a recent article In The New York Times, it could also endanger personal safety in some situations—in an airplane crash, for example.
The New York Times' Christen Negroni reports that engineers and scientists are questioning whether airplane seats are adequately constructed to protect overweight travelers. Government standards for airplane seat strength（強(qiáng)度）— first set moe than 60 years ago — require that the seats be made for a passenger weighing 170 pounds (77kg). Today, the average American man weighs nearly 194 pounds (88kg) and the average woman 165 pounds (75kg). Negroni reports:
“If a heavier person completely fills seat, the seat is not likely to behave as intended during a crash,” said Robert Salazar, the leading scientist at the Center for Applied Biomechanics at the University of Virginia. “The energy absorption that is built into the aircraft seat is likely to be overpowered and the passengers will not be protected properly.”
“Nor would the injury be limited to that passenger only,” Dr. Salzar said. “If a seat or a seat belt fails,” he said, “those people who are seated nearby could be endangered from ‘the uncontrolled movements of the passenger'.”
Most complaints about airplane seats focus on their lack of comfort and high ticket price, and whether overweight passengers should be made to buy two seats. But The New York Times' article brings up another reason to feel anxious about flying. Investigators of the issue got in touch with the airplane seat and seat belt makers, but they refused to comment on the problem. Experts agreed that crash testing should be done with overweight dummies （人體模型）. Both airplane seats and seat belts should be tested, they said.
Fortunately, however, according to Nora Marshall, a senior adviser at the National Transportation Safety Board, the board's investigators have never seen an accident involving a commercial plane in which the weight of a passenger was a problem.
（1）What is the article in The New York Times mainly concerned with?
A.The size of airplane seats and seat belts.
B.Safety of overweight airplane passengers.
C.Airplane crashes involving commercial planes.
D.A medical problem caused by being overweight.
（2）Robert Salzar would probably agree that .
A.overweight passengers should buy two seats
B.the government should help produce safer planes
C.standards for airplane seat strength should be raised
D.passengers should know how to protect themselves
（3）We can learn from the text that .
A.airplane seat makers have taken action now
B.there are few complaints about airplane seats
C.those seate near the overweight may suffer too
D.only a small number of airplane accidents involve the overweight
（4）What is the best title for the text?
A.Why Do Passengers Feel Anxious about Flying?
B.Will 42% of Americans Be OVERWEIGHT BY 2030?
C.When Will the Overweight Enjoy Their Flight?
D.Are Airplane Seats Safe Enough for the Overweight?
