Passage 11(2014 廣州，B) 

      In early November of 1503,during Christopher Columhus 5        fourth and final trip to America,his ship was seriously damaged in a storm. Columbus and his men had to live on a small island for several months while they tried to repair their ship and return to Spain.

      At first,the local people on the island were very kind to the Eu- ropean visitors,giving them all the food and clothes they needed to survive. However,as the months passed,the local people became more and more unhappy with their guests,who were tricking and stealing from them. Finally the locals decided to stop helping. Without food or any way to leave the island,Columbus,group was soon in serious trouble.

      Luckily for Columbus,he had a book about the stars and planets on his ship.It described the movements of all the objects in the night sky.The book,written by a wellknown German scientist,said there would be a total lunar eclipse (月食) on the evening of February 29       ,1504 and how long it would last.

      Columbus worked out the difference in time between Germany and North America. He then had a meeting with the local leaders just before the eclipse would take place. In this meeting,Columbus told them his god was angry because the local people were no longer giving food.So his god would take away the moon to punish them. At the moment Columbus finished talking,just as he had planned,the moon began disappearing.

      The local leaders grew frightened and quickly agreed to provide Columbus with food and anything else he wanted .But first’Columbus’ god had to return the moon. Columbus told them he would have to discuss the idea with his god on his ship. Knowing the moon would stay completely hidden for about 48 minutes,Columbus returned just before the moon began to reappear.From that day on,until they finally left,Columbus and his men no longer had any trouble getting the food they needed.

Passage 24(2011 深圳，E)

   Look closely at your hands. Are they clean? It doesn’t matter how many times you wash your hands,tiny microbes (微生物) still stay on them. But don't worry. Most microbes don't harm you.

    Now scientists say the microbes on our hands could be used in a surprising way ： fighting crime. According to a recent study,microbes as well as fingerprints (指紋) could be used to identify the criminal.

    Everyone has his own set of microbes on the hands. That is to say,if you and your best friend were able to see and compare all the microbes on your hands,your hands probably would look different. Some microbes only show up on your hands while others live only on your friend’s hands.

    When you work on a computer,you leave the microbes from your hands on the key board. The scientists can easily tell the owner of the keyboard by looking at the microbes on it. Even if you don't leave your fingerprints behind,your microbes may give you away.

Noah Fierer,a scientist,says, “ You can only clean a fingerprint,but you can’t sterilize (使無(wú)菌) a surface just by wiping (擦) it off.M He says that scientists have a lot more work to do before the microbe is used as a useful tool.

1. According to the passage,       could be used to identify the criminal.

   A. fingerprints

   B. scientists’hands

   C. microbes

   D. fingerprints and microbes on peopled hands

2. Paragraph 3 tells us that       .

   A. our hands look similar

   B. the microbes will make the keyboard dirty

   C. we should compare our hands often

3. When you work on a computer,the microbes       .

   A. just stay on your hands

   B. also stay on the keyboard

   C. will do harm to you

   D. will disappear

4. From Noah Fierer we know that       .

   A. fingerprints are no longer useful in fighting crime

   B. microbes can’t be found on everyone^ hands

   C. unlike microbes fingerprints can be cleaned if people wipe them

   D. the microbe is used as a useful tool

5. What’s the best title of the passage?

   A. Microbes May Tell Who You Are

Passage 3(2015 江蘇鎮(zhèn)江，C)

       It is believed in some ways that the daughter is the fathers lover. But my experience has taught me in a different way. For a long time,my father has been a very vague figure (模糊的形象) to me.He was a man of few words,tall but slim and nothing else.

       When I was in primary school,my father was never there to pick me up,and he never came to any of my parentteacher meetings.He was always busy doing projects. I remember when I was in middle school and my head was badly hurt in a PE class. During my operation,my father was nowhere to be found. This hurt me most. At that moment,I considered my father as a coldblooded man who did not care about me at all.

       But things seemed different at my high school graduation ceremony,where I was chosen to represent my class and give a speech. My father,once again,told me he had a business trip in a place outside the city and would be unable to show up (露面) .“Don’t come.I will be very nervous if I see you ,” I told him.

       I remember my speech went smoothly.After the ceremony was over and I was about to leave.I suddenly noticed a familiar (熟悉白勺) looking man sitting in a comer of the hall.It was my father!J was so surprised that I rushed to him with tears (目艮淚) running down my face.“Well done”’he said.His eyes were also filled with tears.

       Later,I found out that my father had managed to finish his work by staying up late,and he drove for eight hours to get back.He had been sitting in the comer because he didn’t want me to see him. My father remembered every word in my speech.

       For much of my life,I described my father as a coldblooded man who only cared about his work.But when I thought deeply about this,it was obviously (明顯地) not true. At my graduation ceremony,I could feel my father’s deep love. The fact is that seeing is not believing,and seeing may not be the fact if we don't perceive (感知) the world with our hearts and minds.There’s no doubt that life doesn’t lack (缺少) love,but sometimes our eyes have trouble seeing it.

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

   A. The writer’s father was in the hospital during her operation.

   B. The writers father attended her high school graduation ceremony.

   C. The writers father sometimes picked her up when she was in primary school.

   D. The writer’s father went to parentteacher meetings when she was in primary school.

2. The writer rushed to her father with tears running down her face mainly because       .

   A. she gave a speech successfully

   B. the graduation ceremony was over

   C. she was so nervous that she couldn’t help crying

   D. she was touched to find her father cared about her

3. What does the underlined word“ this” in the last paragraph refer to (指代) ？

   A. That my father was always doing projects.

   B. That my father was a coldblooded man.

   C. That my father sat in the corner of the hall.

   D. That my father’s eyes were filled with tears.

4. What’s the best title of the passage?

   A. My busy father          B. Life is full of love

   C. Seeing is not believing   D. A wonderful speech
