9."Ceci,wake up.It's an earthquake!"That's what Cecilia Wallace heard her mother shouting on the early morning of February 27th
Cecilia is a 7th-grader.She,her parents and her brother,Sam,were in Chile's capital city,Santiago,the day a big earthquake hit Chile.And like just about everyone else,they were shaken out of their sleep.
"It was so frightening,"Sam wrote."The shaking was so huge that I will never go on a ride again."Cecilia and Sam wrote about their earthquake experiences.Their reports were later posted on the website.
Cecilia,Sam and their parents were staying in an apartment on the 15th floor of a building.They were lucky.Their building stayed standing,because it was built to withstand earthquakes.
Not everyone was as lucky as the Wallace family.More than 800people died.Many older buildings fell down during the earthquake.
The damage in Santiago wasn't as bad as in other parts of Chile.So the supermarkets were open for business on the morning of the quake.But it wasn't business as usual."The supermarkets have been crazy with people rushing to buy their food for the next while,"Sam wrote.
Not everyone was able to get money to buy food that morning.So Cecilia and Sam made food bags to distribute to people who were begging outside the supermarket."We gave some to a kid of my age.I made sure he got cookies and bread."Sam and Cecilia's mother wrote that the kids also collected money for the Red Cross.
It's certainly an experience Cecilia,Sam and their parents will never forget.Thankfully,they lived to tell their stories.
26.What was Cecilia doing when the earthquake happened?C
A.Walking in the street.
B.Having class at school.
C.Sleeping in bed.
D.Playing with Sam in a park.
27.The underlined word"distribute"probably means"A".
A.give out
B.throw away
C.give up
D.sell out
28.Why were Cecilia and her family able to survive the earthquake?D
A.Because they escaped before their building fell down.
B.Because they managed to escape from the fallen building.
C.Because they were helped out of the fallen building by others.
D.Because the building they were living in was strong enough.
29.From the text we can see Cecilia is aB girl.
A.humorous 
B.kind-hearted
C.brave
D.selfish
30.How can we know more about Cecilia's experiences in the earthquake?B
A.By watching TV.
B.By getting online.
C.By listening to the radio.
D.By reading newspapers.

19.Cold weather can be hard on pets,just like it can be hard on people.Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter (住所) as they are.Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time,thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors.This can put their pets in danger of serious illness.There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.
Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad.If you have to take them out,stay outside with them.When you're cold enough to go inside,they probably are too.If you must leave them outside for a long time,make sure they have a warm,solid shelter against the wind,thick bedding,and plenty of non-frozen water.
If left alone outside,dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelters.They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere.Watch them closely when they are left outdoors,and provide them with shelter of good quality.Keep an eye on your pet's water.Sometimes owners don't realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can't get anything to drink.Animals that don't have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside,which may contain something unhealthy for them.

8.What do we learn about pets from Paragraph 1?D
A.They are often forgotten by their owners.
B.They are used to living outdoors.

D.They like to stay in warm places.
9.Why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are out in cold weather?A

17.In today's world of smart phones and notebook computers,most people have at least one time-telling thing with them.Since these digital products are so common,is time running out for the 500-year-old watch?According to some consumers,the answer is yes.New Jersey teenager Charlie Wollman says a watch is"an extra piece of equipment with no necessary function."Many young adults think so and use their smart phones to tell time.It is said that fewer young people wear watches today than ten years ago.As a result,some people say that the watch industry is at a crossroads.
However,watchmakers optimistically say that watches redeem popularity when consumers reach their 20s and 30s.By then,they are willing to spend money on a quality watch that doesn't just keep good time.Fifty years ago,watchmakers took pride in their products'accuracy.But in recent years,the watch industry has changed itself into an accessory business.And today,the image a watch communicates has become more important than the time it tells.
"Complications"-features that go beyond simple timekeeping-are an important part of a watch's image.Today's watches offer lots of features that meet almost any personality.These features include compasses,USB drivers,and even other functions.
Creativity also plays a key role in designing today's watches.For example,Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that don't even look like watches.The company's popular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell time.It looks more like a fashionable bracelet than a watch.
Whether a watch communicates fashion sense,creative talent of a love sports,consumers want their watches to stand out.Nowadays,everyone has the same kind of gadget in their bags,so people want to make a statement with what's on their wrists.Will this interest in wrist fashion last?Only time will tell!

25.What can we know from the first paragraph?C
A.As most people see,watches are out of fashion.
B.The watch industry will close down sooner or later.
C.Some people feel that watches have been of no use.
D.There are so many choices of watches for teenagers today.
26.Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash is mentioned in Paragraph 4toA.
A.tell that today's watches need more imagination
B.show why Shinshoku watches are popular
C.a(chǎn)dvertise Shinshoku watches made by Tokyoflash
D.make a comparison between watches and bracelets
27.What might be the most suitable title for the passage?B
A.Japanese Watches Stand Out
B.Watches Tell More Than Time
C.Watch Industry Is in a Bad Situation
D.Watches Are Becoming Less Popular.

4.Some 30,000years ago,artists who lived in caves in Europe painted pictures of the animals around them:panthers,hyenas,rhinos,cave lions,mammoths and other creatures which have been extinct for a long time.The paintings were highly realistic.Some even showed movement.
The artwork,more than a thousand drawings,is considered the oldest group of human cave drawings which have ever been discovered.They were preserved because the cave was sealed--closed off--for more or less 23,000years.
Fast forward to December 18,1994,a group of French cave scientists were exploring caves in southern France.Jean-Marie Chauvet,who led the group then,describes the process of discovering the cave paintings."At that time I was in the front,Eliette just walked behind me,Christian behind.Eliette said she saw two marks made with red ochre and she said,‘They came here.'And at this very moment everything began.The drawings and everything linked to the parietal art (壁畫).That is where it started."
Cave art expert Jean Clottes reviewed the paintings."I was amazed at the number of paintings there were and paintings of their quality and particularly in front of the panel of the horses."
Scientific analysis confirmed the prehistoric date of the artwork.Studies showed the drawings were created tens of thousands of years ago,before human history was written.The United Nations'cultural agency UNESCO lists the cave as a World Heritage Site.They say that the drawings form a remarkable expression of early human artistic creation of grand excellence and variety.
The Chauvet Cave has been named after the explorer who first entered it.However,its environment and drawings are too fragile to be visited by human beings.So the cave is closed,and only people there for scientific purposes can go inside and see the artwork.
However,F(xiàn)rench authorities asked experts to create an exact copy of the cave,called Pont d'Arc Cavern.The copy,which we also call replica,cost more than 59million dollars to build.It opened at the end of April in France.
Pascal Terrasse is the president of the cavern.He says everyone will be able to experience the thrill of looking at drawings made by the first humans in Europe.He says the place is magic because it is done so well.Authorities say they think as many as 400.000people will be allowed to visit Pont d'Arc Cavern every year.

41.According to the passage,the first scientist to enter the cave wasD.
A.Christian      
B.Eliette      
C.Clottes      
D.Chauvet
42.According to Jean Clottes'words in Paragraph 4,the paintings in the cave wereB.
A.a(chǎn)bstract      
B.superior      
C.creative      
D.inspiring
43.Which of the following statements is TRUE about the Chauvet Cave?C
A.It was closed off for more than 30,000years.
B.It is thought to be the origin of modern parietal art.
C.The environment and artwork there are very easy to damage.
D.The majority of drawings there are about the extinct animals.
44.Who can pay a visit to the Chauvet Cave nowadays?A
A.People who do scientific research.
B.Scientists who found the cave first.
C.Officials protecting historical heritage.
D.Scientists from the United Nations.
45.The purpose of creating Pont d'Arc Cavern is toC.
A.show admiration for the earliest artists in Europe
B.a(chǎn)rouse visitors'awareness of protecting ancient art
C.offer visitors chances to view the wonderful artwork
D.collect money for the perseverance of the Chauvet Cave.

Nowadays,there is a heated discussion in our school about if cloning should be allowed or not.Some students are strong for it.There are four reasons account for this.First,cloning is optional way to treat the parents who find it difficult to have children.Another reason is to reproduce such great talents like Einstein.A further reason is to obtain a supply of stem cell which can develop into every other type of cell in the body.So it was possible for someone badly injured to recover.A fourth reason is that scientists believe that a cloning crop can resist pests.Besides,the students against cloning hold the view that it will raise up many problems.

12.People are more likely to lie or cheat during the afternoon because self control reduces during the day,according to researchers.
   Volunteers taking part in two experiments where they could benefit by cheating were more likely to do so if the tests took place after midday,researchers found.
   The findings back up previous studies which have shown that our capacity for self-control declines during the day,due to tiredness and repeatedly making decisions.
    Psychologists from Harvard University first showed a group of volunteers various patterns of dots on a computer screen,asking them to decide whether there were more dots on the left or the right hand side.
Instead of being rewarded for getting the answer right,the participants were paid based on which side they chose,earning ten times as much for choosing the right hand side as the left.
   People who were tested after midday were significantly more likely to select the right hand side,even if there were clearly more dots on the left,than those who took part during the morning.
   In a second test,participants were shown a series of word fragments,such as"-ral"and"e-c-"and asked which words they associated with them.
   In morning experiments,participants were more likely to form the words"moral"and"ethical"while during the afternoon the words"coral"and"effects"were most common.
   Further tests conducted online showed that people were more likely to send dishonest messages or claim to have solved an unsolvable problem in the afternoon than in the morning.
   Writing the Psychological Science journal,the researchers said the difference was particularly pronounced in people with higher ethical standards,who always behaved morally during the morning but slipped during the afternoon.
In contrast,those who were able to"morally disengage",or behave unethically without feeling guilty,tended to cheat whatever the time of day.
   Dr.Maryam Kouchaki,one of the lead authors,said:"Unfortunately,the most honest people,such as those less likely to morally disengage,may be the most susceptible (易受影響的) to the negative consequences associated with the morning morality effect."
   The findings could be relevant to organizations that should be more alert about the behavior of customers and employees during the afternoon,she added."Our findings suggest that mere time of day can lead to a systematic failure of good people to act morally."
74.Volunteers can get more money when theyB
A.gave the correct answer                  B.chose the right hand side
C.chose the left hand side                 D.remembered the patterns of dots
75.Why are participants less likely to form words like"ethical","moral"in the afternoon?D
A.Because their vocabulary becomes smaller.
B.Because they are unwilling to tell the truth.
C.Because the words are the voice of their heart.
D.Because self control declines after midday.
76.The underlined word"pronounced"( in paragraph 10 ) is closest in meaning toC
A.dominated            B.a(chǎn)nnounced            C.marked       D.exposed
77.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A
A.The finding especially applies to those who behave ethically.
B.Mere time of day can lead to systematic failure of organizations.
C.The finding doesn't agree with that of previous studies.
D.People who act morally feel guilty after telling a lie.
