Every year gray whales swim a 10,000 miles round-trip, from the cold waters near Alaska, down the coast of North America to the warm waters near Mexico, and back again. It is one of the longest migrations (遷徙) of any mammal (哺乳動(dòng)物).
All day, all summer long, in the cold waters near Alaska, gray whales eat and eat.
Instead of teeth, gray whales have baleen (鯨須) they use to get food from ocean water. They get big mouthfuls of muck (淤泥) from the ocean floor, then push that muck right back out through their baleen. The mucky water flows through, but tiny animals get trapped in the baleen and licked up.
When the water starts to freeze, the whales begin their long trip south. They swim night and day, without stopping to eat or rest. During the long journey, migrating whales may push their heads out of the water to see where they are.
Two months later, the whales reach Mexico. Babies are born here in warm, shallow (淺的) waters called lagoons (瀕海湖). Ocean lagoons have no food for the adults, but the babies are safer here than in the open seas. All winter the babies grow big and strong.
In spring first the dads and teenagers leave the lagoons, then the moms with babies. Migrating gray whales swim close to shore, especially moms with babies. The ice is melting up (融化) north, and it's time for the hungry whales to make the long journey back to their summer feeding grounds.
（1）The underlined phrase “l(fā)icked up” in Paragraph 3 probably means “”.
A.eaten up
B.ended up
C.broken up
D.given up
（2）During their long journey to Mexico, gray whales .
A.always swim under the ocean
B.find food to supply their energy
C.face the colder and colder water
D.travel to the lagoons without a break
（3）Where do mother gray whales give birth?
A.In warm shallow waters near Mexico.
B.Off the coast of North America.
C.In the open seas near Mexico.
D.In cold waters near Alaska.
（4）Which of the following is NOT mentioned about gray whales in the text?
A.How they get their food.
B.How long they live.
C.When they get back to Alaska.
D.How long they spend traveling to Mexico.

【答案】
（1）A
（2）D
（3）A
（4）B
【解析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，介紹了每年灰鯨都要?dú)v經(jīng)兩個(gè)月的時(shí)間進(jìn)行遷徙。
（1）考查詞義猜測(cè)。第三段中的”The mucky water flows through, but tiny animals get trapped in the baleen and licked up.“這句話的意思是泥水從嘴里流出，但是被困在鯨須中的小動(dòng)物被吃光了，選A。
（2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的”They swim night and day, without stopping to eat or rest.“可知在它們到墨西哥的漫長(zhǎng)遷徙中，灰鯨不停歇地游到瀕海湖，選D。
（3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的”Babies are born here in warm, shallow (淺的) waters called lagoons (瀕海湖).“可知灰鯨媽媽在靠近墨西哥的溫暖淺水中孵化小鯨魚，選A。
（4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。文中講到了灰鯨如何獲取食物，它們什么時(shí)候返回阿拉斯加州以及它們游多久可以到達(dá)墨西哥，但是并沒有提到灰鯨的壽命，故選B。

【題目】Children often suffer pain and insecurity when their parents separate.When my ex-husband and I split up after 10 years of marriage,our daughter was 5 years old and my son only 3.We decided to consult a psychologist about the best way to explain this new situation to the children.

She shared with us this special story about a land turtle and a sea turtle,which we then used to help them better comprehend.

Once upon a time,a land turtle (Mommy) met a sea turtle (Daddy) close to a beautiful shore.Soon they fell deeply in love and decided to get married.For a time,they continued to live at the water's edge so that Mommy could sit on the sand and keep dry and warm,while Daddy sat in the shallow water to keep cool.A few years later two baby turtles arrived (you both!).They were very special indeed and looked a little like each of their parents.

But as the years went by,Daddy sea turtle started spending more and more time in the ocean as he traveled deeper and deeper to look for pearls.Mommy land turtle also started wandering up into the sands to hunt for food in the woods.Little by little,Daddy and Mommy turtle started to drift further and further apart.Finally one day,Mommy and Daddy turtle decided they didn't want to live together anymore.The little turtles continued to spend time with each of their parents.They made lots of friends with all the fish,dolphins and whales in the ocean and also many friends with the rabbits,deer,and foxes in the woods.In fact they grew up to be a new kind of turtle that could live both in the ocean and on the land.

Over the years,this tale of the land and sea turtle has helped my children cope with and accept the fact that my marriage to their father was over.They know that we once loved each other very much and they were born out of true love.

【題目】Moby Dick,or The Whale,of which only 5 copies were sold in the year of its first publication,has been recognized as one of the greatest masterpieces of the twentieth century novels across the world.Yet its author,Herman Melville,was not blessed enough to change his fate as the great work did.

At the age of 25 ,Herman returned to America,starting his writing career.During the following five years,he published five novels,among which was Moby Dick,but none of the works brought him any fame or sense of success.

He had to live up with his poor life,supported by regular financial help from his father in-law.Not much changed even after his father-in-law assisted him onto a post at the customhouse(海關(guān)).His self-doubt whether he should fight to write as an author disturbed Herman for the rest of his life till his death in 1899,which is suggested in his wife’s diary.And his wife described his several struggles where he fought bitterly back to his desk to pick up his pen.

【題目】閱讀理解
How to deal with waste has been a problem since humans started producing it. As more and more people choose to live close together in cities, the waste-disposal (處理) problem becomes increasingly difficult.
During the eighteenth century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as a dump site. Residents or trash haulers (垃圾拖運(yùn)者) would transport household rubbish, rotted wood, and old possessions to the site. Periodically (定期的) some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried. The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by.
Factories, mills, and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of (處理). Those located on rivers often just dumped (傾倒) the unwanted remains into the water. Others built huge burners with chimneys (煙囪) to deal with the problem.
Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modem society. The first problem is space. Dumps, which are now called landfills, are most needed in heavily populated areas. Such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose. Property is either too expensive or too close to residential (住宅區(qū)的) neighborhoods. Long-distance trash hauling has been a common practice, but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is almost nonexistent (不存在).
Awareness (意識(shí)) of pollution dangers has led to more strict rules of waste disposal. Pollution of rivers, ground water, land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste. The amount of waste, however, continues to grow.
Recycling efforts have become commonplace, and many towns require their people to take part. Even the most efficient recycling programs, however, can hope to deal with only about 50 per cent of a city's reusable waste.
（1）The most suitable title for this passage would be .
A.Places for Disposing Waste
B.Waste Disposal Problem
C.Ways of Getting Rid of Waste
D.Waste Pollution Dangers
（2）During the 18th century, people disposed their waste in many ways EXCEPT for .
A.recycling it
B.burying it
C.burning it
D.throwing it into rivers
（3）What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?
A.Farm areas accept waste from the city in modern society.
B.There is cheap land to bury waste in modem society.
C.Ways to deal with waste in modem society stay the same.
D.It is difficult to find space to bury waste in modern society.
（4）The main purpose of writing this article is to .
A.tell people a better way to get rid of the waste.
B.warn people of the pollution dangers we are facing.
C.call on people to take part in recycling programs.
D.draw people's attention to waste management.

【題目】Silence is unnatural to man.He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness.In between he does all he can to make a noise in the world,and he fears silence more than anything else.Even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence.If he is introduced to another person,and a number of pauses occur in the conversation,he regards himself as a failure,a worthless person,and is full of envy of the emptiest-headed chatterbox（喋喋不休的人）. He knows that ninety nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly,but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure（蠟塑人像）.

The aim of conversation is not,for the most part,to communicate ideas;it is to keep up the buzzing sound.There are,it must be admitted,different qualities of buzz;there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made by a mosquito.But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet person.Most buzzing, fortunately,is pleasant to the ear,and some of it is pleasant even to the mind.He would be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors.

Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk.Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new.Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people's ears,though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel.At the end of an evening,during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time.They just prove themselves to be successful conservationists.

【1】According to the author,people make conversation to .

A. exchange ideas B. prove their value

C. achieve success in life D. overcome their fear of silence

【2】By “the buzzing of a fly”(Para.1),the author means “ ”.

A. the noise of an insect B. a low whispering sound

C. meaningless talks D. the voice of a chatterbox

【3】According to the passage,people usually talk to their neighbors .

A. about whatever they have prepared B. about whatever they want to

C. in the hope of learning something new D. in the hope of getting on well

【4】What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?

A. To discuss why people like talking about weather.

B. To encourage people to join in conversations.

C. To persuade people to stop making noises.

D. To explain why people keep talking.

Studies show that you may be lied to every day anywhere from 10 to 200 times. We say, “Nice song.” “Honey, you don't look fat in that, no.” But another study showed that strangers lied three times within the first 10 minutes of meeting each other. We lie more to strangers than we lie to coworkers. Men lie eight times more about themselves than they do about other people. Women lie more to protect other people. If you're married, you're going to lie to your wife/ husband in one out of every 10 communications. If you're unmarried, that number drops to three. But look, if at some point you got lied to, it's because you agreed to get lied to. Truth about lying: lying's a cooperative act. Not all lies are harmful. Sometimes we're willing to get lied to for social dignity(尊嚴(yán)), maybe to keep a private secret.
Lying is complex. It exists in our daily and business lives. We're deeply disturbed by the truth. We explain it, sometimes for very good reasons, other times just because we don't understand the gaps between ideals and realities in our lives. We're against lying, but secretly we're for it in ways that our society has practiced for centuries and centuries. It's as old as breathing. It's part of our culture and history. Think the stories from Dante, Shakespeare, the Bible, News of the World.
Lying has great value to the evolution of human beings. Researchers have long known that the more intelligent the species, the more likely it is to lie. We humans like to become leaders. It starts really early. How early? Well, babies will pretend to cry, pause, wait to see who's coming and then go right back to crying. One-year-olds learn hiding truth. Five-year-olds lie outright and try to control through flattery (奉承). Nine-year-olds, masters of covering up.
So what do we do about lies? Well, there are steps we can take to guide our way through the bushes. Trained lie spotters (檢測(cè)員) get to the truth 90% of the time. The rest of us, we're only 54% right. There are clever liars and stupid liars, but there're no real creative liars. While lying, we all make the same mistakes, and we all use the same techniques.
（1）The passage tells us in the first paragraph that lying is very__________.
A.harmful
B.easy
C.interesting
D.common
（2）Lying is complex because__________.
A.people are for it as well as against it
B.it is the whole part of great culture
C.ancient stories are full of lies
D.it is practiced by clever ones
（3）According to the passage, a lie works when __________.
A.the liar's words are sweet enough
B.someone gives the liar cooperation
C.we are willing to lie for good reasons
D.it is given to a complete stranger
（4）What might the writer talk about in the following passage?
A.How to become clever liars.
B.How to avoid stupid lies.
C.How to tell truth from lies.
D.How to get through the bushes.
