3．According to a （61）widely（wide） accepted theory，the universe began with a"Big Bang"（62）that/which threw matter in all directions．For several billion years after the"Big Bang"，the earth was still just a cloud of dust．Then between 4.5and 3.8billion years ago，the dust （63）settled（settle） into a solid globe．Then the earth became （64）violent（violence） and then it exploded loudly．Water and gases were produced （65）in time．Water was to be fundamental to the （66）development（develop） of life．
Years later，green plants developed．Then animals came into being，and then human beings began to exist on （67）the earth．They control the world in （68）their（they） turn，but put too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere，which prevents heat from （69）escaping（escape）from the earth into space．So the future of life will depend on（70）whether the problem can be solved．

分析 文章大意：本文講的是宇宙起源于"大爆炸"，在大爆炸后的幾十億年里，地球仍然只是一團(tuán)塵埃．后來在大約45億年至38億年前，這團(tuán)塵埃才成了一個固體的球體，后來又出現(xiàn)了水和氣體，幾年以后綠色植物和動物以及人類都出現(xiàn)了，他們控制了這個世界，但是卻向大氣中排放了太多的二氧化碳，這阻止了熱量從地球上排放到太空．

解答 61．widely 考查副詞．根據(jù)后面非謂語動詞accepted可知此處應(yīng)該用wide的副詞形式來修飾．
62．that/which 考查代詞．根據(jù)分析可知此處為定語從句，先行詞為a"Big Bang"，從句缺少主語，因此填that或which．
63．settled  考查時態(tài)．根據(jù)前面Then between 4.5and 3.8billion years ago可知這句話的時態(tài)應(yīng)該是一般過去時，因此填settled．
64．violent 考查形容詞．根據(jù)前面became為系動詞可知后面要填形容詞作表語，因此要填violence的形容詞violent． 
65．in  考查介詞．此處Water and gases were produced in time意思是水和氣體適時產(chǎn)生了，因此填介詞in．
66．development 考查名詞．根據(jù)前面the可知后面跟名詞，the development of life意思是生命的發(fā)展．
67．the 考查冠詞．此處the用在獨(dú)一無二的名詞前，on the earth意為"在地球上"．
68．their 考查代詞．in one's turn"輪流，依次"，因此要用they的形容詞性物主代詞their．
69．escaping 考查非謂語動詞．前面prevent…from…中的from為介詞，后面要跟動名詞作賓語，因此填escaping．
70．whether 考查連詞．通過分析可知…the problem can be solved為depend on的賓語從句，從句不缺主語、賓語或狀語，根據(jù)語境可知此處應(yīng)該填whether．

點(diǎn)評 本題是語法填空題．這一題型是高考�？嫉念}型，它主要考查考生對整體文章大意的把握以及所學(xué)語言及語法知識的應(yīng)用，有一定難度．在做題時考生要通讀一遍，整體理解，然后要結(jié)合句子需要使用正確的形式．

5．The rising costs of health care have become a problem for many countries in the world．To deal with this problem，it is recommended that a big part of the government's health budget（預(yù)算）be used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment．Actually，many kinds of diseases are preventable in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it．For example，people could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold．But many people get sick because they fail to do so，and have to spend money seeing a doctor．
Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming bankrupt if the patients had taken measures for early prevention．For example，keeping a balanced diet，such as not consuming too much animal fat and insuring a steady intake of vegetables and fruits，seems to be quite important．
One very effective and costless way of prevention is regular exercise，which is necessary for a healthy mind and body．Regular exercise，such as running，walking，and playing sports is a good way to make people feel better or reduce stress．
In addition，health education plays a key role in improving people's health．By giving people more information about health，countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevention and ways to achieve it．For example，knowing one's family medical history is an effective way to help keep healthy．Information about health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what they should do to prevent certain diseases through lifestyle changes，which will work before it is too late．
Hinderer，stressing disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant．After all，prevention and treatment are just two different means toward the same effect．In conclusion，we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on health prevention and education．
28．What's the best title of the passage？B
A．Prevention or Education？
B．Prevention or Treatment？
C．Health or Illness？
D．Exercise or Illness？

A．Unable to be cured．
B．Unable to pay one's debts．
C．Stronger than ever before．

A．dressing warmly can prevent diseases
B．a(chǎn) balanced diet is cheaper than regular exercise
C．It's better to have more health education．

14．The elevator of the future may be just over the horizon thanks to German company    ThyssenKrupp．The firm has invented a cable-free elevator（called MULTI）that can go up and    down like traditional lifts but the magnetic motors allow it to go side-to-side too．The designers predict that this technology could increase the carrying capacity of existing architecture by as much as 50%．Plus it looks really neat．
ThyssenKrupp plans to use light-weight materials to build its elevator ears of the future and the lack of a cable winch（鋼纜絞車）will reduce weight as well．The ears wouldn't just move up and down as they do now but would instead go in a circle that allows more cars to slip in fight behind the next．The result is that you might only have to wait 10 seconds for the next one to arrive rather than wait for the one you just missed to come back down．
The technology backing ThyssenKrupp's MULTI elevator is very similar to magnetic    levitation（磁懸�。﹕ystems used in high-speed trains．Each car has two magnetic motors-one    for vertical movement and another for horizontal．This system can also deliver power to the car's internal lighting and electronics without using wires．
A traditional cable driven elevator has mechanical components that can hold the car in place in the event of a power-off．ThyssenKrupp didn't go into detail about safety measures in its announcement but it's safe to say the magnetic levitation elevator will have some sort of system to hold it in place if the lights go out．ThyssenKrupp is working on a test tower that will be used to develop the MULTI into a rear elevator technology．This should be up and running by 2016 but it will probably take at least a few more years before you get to climb inside a magnetic elevator car．
32．What does the underlined phrase"over the horizon"mean？B
A．Above sea level．       
B．On the way．
C．On the market．     
D．Out of sight．
33．MULTI is designed toB．
A．save energy         
B．carry more passengers
C．run much faster     
D．be neat and comfortable
34．The key technology about MULTI is itsB．
A．cable winch         
B．magnetic motor
C．wireless electronics    
D．lighting material
35．What can be learned from the last paragraph？D
A．MULTI will sell well．
B．MULTI has to work on a tower．
C．MULTI will be put into use in 2016．
D．MULTI has a safety system in case of power-off．

11．YOU CAN'T DO IT EVEN IF IT HURTS NOBODY
Who do you think breaks the law in our society？If you believe that only tough guys commit crimes，you may have to think again．Unlike in the movies，we can't divide the world into bad guys and model citizens． Real life is much more complex．In the same way that diseases range from the common cold to fatal forms of cancer，crimes vary in degree．For example，smoking in an elevator will inconvenience people，but much less than threatening them with a gun．
In addition to breaking the law themselves，people tolerate various levels of crime．Why can we tolerate some crimes？It may be that，by seeing others do something，we accept it more easily．For instance，most people will find it easier to speed on a highway when everybody else is driving over the speed limit．When people celebrate a sports championship，if they see someone breaking store windows，they might start breaking windows themselves or even steal from the store．So the people around us influence how much law-breaking we can tolerate．
We must also wonder whether seeing violence on television or reading about it in the newspapers every day makes us tolerate crime more than we should．We become used to seeing blood on the news on television，or in full color in newspapers and magazines．Because we see thousands of dead people on TV，maybe we just try to ignore the situation behind the violence．If so many citizens tolerate violence and crime，or even commit crimes themselves，it may simply be because of the human mind．Our minds may not care about specific laws．Instead，our minds may have a system of values that usually prevents us from hurting other people to improve our own lives．Yet，when it comes to respecting the rights of a mass of anonymous （不知名的）individuals，we might not be so responsible．While most people would not steal a wallet containing 50，they may not mind cheating on taxes，because cheating on taxes does not hurt anyone person．It hurts society，but"society"remains an abstract idea that is not as real as a neighbor or a friend's friend．
When we realize that many people have misunderstandings of law-breaking，we could think it is surprising that so many people have a criminal record．How could we improve the level of honesty in our society？Would strict laws help make our society better？Probably not．Honesty will have to come from social pressure：in the family，at school，on the job，each and every one of us can encourage honesty by showing which behavior is unacceptable．And teaching respect should  become everyone's responsibility．

33．According to the author，"Real life is much more complex．"probably meansB．
A．smoking in an elevator goes against laws in the real life
B．there is a wide range of people and crimes in the real life
C．there are much more crimes than diseases in the real life
D．some model citizens sometimes break laws in the real life
34．People tolerate violence and crime becauseA．
A．they hold mistaken beliefs about law-breaking
B．most unlawful acts are not harmful to the individual
C．they pay no attention to the truth behind the crimes
D．their behavior is the same as that of most other people
35．What is the author's purpose in writing this passage？D
A．To explain why many people have criminal records．
B．To show people the importance of education．
C．To discuss whether laws are strict enough．
D．To remind people to behave with honesty．

8．For eighty four days old Santiago had not caught a single fish．At first a young boy，Manolin，had shared his bad fortune，but after the fortieth luckless day the boy's father told his son to go in another boat．From that time on，Santiago worked alone．The boy loved the old fisherman and  always helped him with money and food．Usually，they would talk about the fish they had taken in luckier times or about American baseball after supper，while at night，alone in his cottage，Santiago dreamed of lions on the beaches of Africa，where he had gone on a sailing ship years before．He no longer dreamed of his dead wife．
    On the eighty-fifth day，Santiago set off to fish before dawn．Two of his baits （餌） were fresh tunas （金槍魚） the boy had given him．Then he set his lines which went straight down into deep dark water．
     As the sun rose he saw other boats in toward shore．A man of war bird showed him where dolphin were chasing some flying fish．This time Santiago saw tuna jumping in the sunlight．A small one took the hook on his line．Pulling the fish aboard，the old man thought it a good fortune．
    Toward noon a marlin，a common fish in the s ea，started eating the bait which was one hundred meters down．Gently the old man played the fish，a big one，as he knew from the weight on the line．At last he struck to settle the hook．The fish did not come out of the surface．Instead，it began to pull the boat to the northwest．The old man followed it． Although he was alone and no longer strong，he had his skill and knew many tricks． He waited patiently for the fish to be tired．
     It became cold after the sunset．Suddenly the marlin leaned，pulling Santiago forward on his face and cutting his cheek．By dawn his left hand was cramped （抽筋的）．The fish had headed northward； there was no land in sight．Hungry，he cut pieces from the tuna and chewed them slowly．That morning the fish jumped．Seeing it leap，Santiago knew he had hooked the biggest marlin he had ever seen．Then the fish went down and turned toward the east．Santiago drank a little water from the bottle during the hot afternoon．Close to nightfall a dolphin took the small hook he had baited．He lifted it aboard，careful．After he had rested，he cut meat from the dolphin and kept also the two flying fish he found in its stomach．That night he slept．He awoke to feel the line running through his fingers as the fish jumped．Making the line loose slowly，he tried to tire the marlin．After the fish slowed its run，he washed his cut hands in sea water and ate one of the flying fish．At sunrise the marlin began to circle．Faint and dizzy，he worked to bring the big fish nearer with each turn．Almost exhausted，he finally drew his big fish alongside and drove in the harpoon （魚叉）．The fish was two feet longer than the boat．No fish like it had ever been seen in Havana harbor．An hour later，he sighted the first shark，a fierce Mako，and it came in fast to chase after the dead marlin．The old man struck the shark with his harpoon．The Mako rolled and sank，carryin g the harpoon with it and leaving the marlin bloody．He knew the smell would spread．Watching，he saw two sharks closing in．He struck at one with his knife and watched it sliding down into deep water．He killed the other while it tore at the flesh of the marlin．When the third appeared，he thrust （刺） it with the knife．The other sharks came at sunset．At first he tried to beat them with the tiller （舵柄） from the boat，but his hands were bleeding and there were too many in the sea．In the darkness，as he steered （掌舵）toward the harbor of Havana，he heard them hitting the boat again and again．But the old man thought only of his steering and his great tiredness．He had gone out too far and the sharks had beaten him．He knew they would leave him nothing but the stripped skeleton of the big marlin．
     All lights were out when he sailed into the little harbor and beached his boat．He could just make out the white backbone and the upstanding tail of the fish．Once he fell under their weight and lay patiently until he could gather his strength to go on．In his cottage he fell on his bed and went to sleep．
65．The above story is most likely to be adapted fromB．

A．Because a lot of sharks followed his boat．

C．His experience told him not to do so before the fish was tired out．

12．Woman Uses Daughter's Key to"Steal"Car
Charlie Vansant，a college student of Athens，Ohio，who reported that his car was stolen，got a surprise when he learned a woman had mistaken it for her daughter's car and taken it-using her key．
Kate Anderson became an accidental car thief when picking up her daughter's car near an Ohio University building last week．Anderson spotted the Toyota Camry（豐田凱美瑞）and used her daughter's key to unlock the car，start the engine and drive home-without realizing that the car wasn't her daughter's．
When Charlie Vansant left class a short time later，he found only an empty parking spot．He first assumed the car had been towed，but when the police couldn't find a record of it，they took a theft report．
The morning after Anderson took the car，her daughter discovered the Camry in the driveway wasn't hers．Anderson said she was able to find Vansant's name on paperwork in the glove compartment and look up his phone number on the website for the university．
When Anderson told Charlie the car was in her driveway，"It sounded really suspicious at first，as she wanted to hold the thing for ransom （贖金），"said Vansant．He eventually went to the house with a police officer，where he was reunited with his car．According to the police report，the case was closed"because of mistaken car identity"，and Anderson wasn't charged．
Vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the"thief"．"Her key fit not only my lock，but my ignition（點(diǎn)火裝置）as well-so high-five for Toyota，I guess．"he said．
24．What does the underlined word"towed"mean in paragraph 3？D
A．sold    
B．damaged．
C．stolen．
D．remove
25．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？C

13．Temperature is measured by means of a thermometer （溫度計）．One general form of thermometer depends upon the fact that most solids and liquids expand as their temperature rises．There are one or two exceptions．There is，for instance，a kind of steel called invar （from"invariable"） which does not change its dimensions as temperature changes； it is valuable for making pendulums （鐘擺），since，if the length of a pendulum changes，its time of vibration changes．It is also used for making very accurate measuring scales．In both cases，then，changes of atmospheric temperature have no effect if invar is used．
Another exception is that very odd liquid，water，which has many strange properties （特性）．As water gets colder it contracts （收縮），which is ordinary behavior，until it reaches the temperature of 30℃．a(chǎn)bove freezing point．After that，as it gets colder，it expands．This is fortunate---for considering the freezing of a pond．As the water on top gets colder，it shrinks； and so，volume for volume，it becomes heavier and sinks．This goes on until all the pond is at 30℃，but after that，as the water becomes colder it expands．Therefore the colder water stays on top and freezes，covering the pond with ice．If the water went on contracting down to the freezing point，the pond would become a solid block of ice in the end．This would not worry people who live in hot climates，but it would be very serious for those who live in cold climates，especially for those who want to break the ice and catch fish which live in the cold water beneath．

56．Invar is valuable for making pendulums becauseA．
A．it can hardly change its shape or size as temperature changes．
B．it will change its dimensions without the change of temperature．
C．its time of vibration doesn't change if its length changes．
D．its time of vibration does not change if its length changes．
57．As water gets colder after reaching the temperature of 30℃．it willc．
A．contract       B．shrink      C．expand     D．freeze
58．Which of the following statements is true，according to this passage？D
A．Only invar can be used to make a thermometer．
B．Only water can be used to make a thermometer．
C．Both invar and water can be used to make a thermometer．
D．Neither invar nor water can be used to make a thermometer．
59．The best title of this passage is most likely to beB．
A．Temperature Measurement     
B．Two Exceptions
C．Uses of Invar    
D．Properties of Water．
