小題3:根據(jù)常識可以排除另三個選項。
小題4:Peggy是女孩，故為女兒。
小題5:音樂響起。首句已呈現(xiàn)過該說法，另play在此系及物動詞，形式不對。
小題6:下文中有and letting it carry her 這樣類似用法。
小題7:從其后面的狀態(tài)來看，Peggy心中充滿了自信。
小題8:表示進入溜冰場之前的最后幾秒鐘。該空可以根據(jù)常識和行文邏輯選定。
小題9:表示自然消失而不是人為丟失，應該用gone，而不用lost。
小題10:見第二節(jié)第一句。
小題11:then表示時間上的順承。
小題12:憑語感選定。
小題13:as表示“當……的同時”。因為表演完美，所以謝幕時人們歡呼。
小題14:選A。the other 后總是接同類名詞，故此處選skaters。
小題15:根據(jù)常識，自由滑冰運動員退場時，觀眾總是會歡呼的。
小題16:選手關(guān)注的，除了觀眾，就是“裁判”了。
小題17:第18空前再現(xiàn)了這一說法。
小題18:等分數(shù)時的心情應是焦急的,故用anxiously。
小題19:結(jié)果的宣布一般用announce。而戰(zhàn)爭、罪行等重大事件的宣布則多用declare。
小題20:上文中提到了父母親從加利弗利亞開車過來,所以Peggy可能來自California。

Washoe, a female chimpanzee (黑猩猩) believed to be the first non-human to acquire human language, has died of natural causes at the research institute where she was kept.The chimp died on Tuesday night, according to Roger and Deborah Fouts, co-founders of The Chimpanzee and Human Communications Institute in Washington, where she lived.
Washoe was born in 1965 in Africa, where she was captured by the Air Force and taken to the US for research use in the space program. In 1966, she left the program and began living with two scientists, Allen and Beatrix Gardner, who led a project to teach the chimp American Sign Language (ASL) in Washoe, Nevada, for which it was named. Washoe had been living on Central Washington University’s Ellensburg Campus since 1980. She had a vocabulary of about 250 words. Also, Washoe taught sign language to three younger chimps: Tatu, 31, Loulis, 29, and Dar, 31
Primate (靈長類) researcher Jane Goodall, in Fouts’ book Next of Kin, noted the importance of the work with Washoe. “Roger, through his ongoing conversations with Washoe and her extended family, has opened a window into a chimpanzee’s mind,” Goodall said.
Though previous efforts to teach chimps spoken languages had failed, the researchers believed there was a better chance using signs. But Washoe’s language skills were disputed by scientists who believed that language is unique to humans. Among those who doubted that chimps could use language were linguist (語言學家) Noam Chomsky and Harvard scientist Steven Pinker. They believed primates simply learn to perform certain acts in order to receive rewards, and do not acquire true language. 
小題1:As for its first task, Washoe was involved with _______.
A．some space research
B．a(chǎn) study on African animals
C．a(chǎn)n ASL project
D．the program of training the Air Force
小題2:In Goodall’s opinion, teaching Washoe ASL ______.
A．was not successful
B．led to the book Next of Kin
C．won honor for Fouts
D．made a difference
小題3:In the last paragraph, the underlined word “disputed” probably means “______”.
A．supported
B．studied
C．questioned
D．discussed
小題4:What can be inferred from the passage?
A．The ASL project was first set up in Africa for the study on Washoe.
B．Washoe may communicate with other chimps by signing.
C．Washoe must have been able to speak 250 words or so.
D．The researchers will prove that most chimps could use language.
小題5:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Washoe was the first animal to be taught human language.
B．Washoe, the chimp, was named in honor of a place.
C．There were four chimps in total at Ellensburg Campus.
D．Chomsky believed primates only perform silent signs.

It is sometimes reported that strange flying objects have been seen high up in the sky. People call these strange objects Unidentified(不明的)Flying Objects(UFOs). These UFOs caused a lot of interest. Some of the reports about them are difficult to believe.Some have been explained in scientific ways. Others have never been explained.
Here is an account of UFOs from a report.
Dennis Bardens,who wrote an article,tells us that he once saw a UFO himself.He was having dinner one night with a friend near Tripoli(的黎波里),Libya(利比亞),and after dinner the two men walked across a yard to his room to look at some papers.Bardens noticed that the moon looked strange that night.
“It wasn't the moon,”was the reply.
They watched the light and saw that it was moving.It seemed to be an object rather like a big plate.In some ways it looked like smoke with a light on it,but it wasn't smoke because it didn't change its shape.It was moving in a regular way.That is to say,it didn't go suddenly faster or more slowly,and it didn't go higher or lower.So the two men decided that there must be men in it.
When it came nearer to Libya,Bardens said that he felt eyes looking at him.He was being watched in the darkness.
When it was nearer,they noticed that the bottom parts were brighter than the top.The bottom was yellow and the top was red.Then the object suddenly turned away and left Libya,moving very fast.
On a later day Bardens talked to other people about it,and he found some who had seen it.They all described(描述)it in the same way.Could they all the mistaken?
60.The UFOs are______.
A.flying high up in the sky       B.strange flying objects
C.difficult to believe            D.very interested
61.A UFO was seen one night______.
A.when they were walking across a yard to Bardens' room
B.while they were looking at the light
C.when Bardens noticed the moon appearing strange
D.while they were having dinner
62.The UFO looked like______.
A.smoke                                   B.light
C.a moving object                         D.a large plate
63.When the UFO came nearer to Libya,______.
A.it disappeared all at once

A rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below l6℃．Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate．Without the forest cover，these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere，warming the rest of the world. Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns，potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world．
In the past hundred years，humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources(資源): land for crops，wood for paper and other products，land for raising farm animals．This action affects the environment as a whole．For example，a lot of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) in the air comes from burning the rainforests．People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.
There are two main reasons for this．Firstly，when people cut down trees，generally they can only use the land for a year or two．Secondly，cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now，but in the long run it actually reduces the world’s wood supply．
Rainforests are often called the world’s drug store．More than 25％ of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests．However，fewer than l％of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value．It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world’s shrinking rainforests．
小題1:Rainforests can help to adjust the climate because they                ．
A．reflect more heat into the atmosphere
B．bring about high rainfall throughout the world
C．rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than l6℃
D．reduce the effect of heat from the sun on the earth
小題2:What does the word “this” underlined in the third paragraph refer to? 
A．We will lose much more than we can gain．
B．Humans have begun destroying rainforests．
C．People have a strong desire for resources．
D．Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests．
小題3:It can be inferred from the text that      . 
A．we can get enough resources without rainforests
B．there is great medicine potential in rainforests
C．we will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained land
D．the level of annual rainfall affects wind patterns
小題4:What might be the best title for the text? 
A．How to Save RainforestsB．How to Protect Nature
C．Rainforests and the EnvironmentD．Rainforests and Medical Development

The surprising experiment I am about to describe proves that air is all around you and that it presses down upon you. Air pressure is a powerful force. When you swim underwater, you can feel water pushing down on your body. The air all around you does the same. However, your body is so used to it that you do not notice this. The pressure is caused by a layer of air called the atmosphere. This layer surrounds the Earth, extending to about five kilometers above the Earth’s surface.
The following experiment is an easy one that you can do at home. But make sure that you are supervised, because you will need to use matches. Now for the experiment！
What you need
?A hard-boiled egg without the shell
?A bottle with a neck slightly smaller than the egg
?A piece of paper
?A match
Method
1） Check that the egg will sit firmly on the neck of the bottle.
2） Tear the paper into strips and put the strips into the bottle.
3） Light the paper by dropping a burning match into the bottle.
4） Quickly sit the egg on the neck of the bottle.
Result
Astonishingly, the egg will be sucked into the bottle. Your friends will be amazed when you show them the experiment. But be careful when you handle matches.
Why it happened
As the paper burns, it needs oxygen and uses up the oxygen （air） in the bottle. The egg acts as a seal in the neck of the bottle, so no more air can get inside. This reduces the air pressure inside the bottle. The air pressure must equalize, so more air from outside must enter the bottle. The outside air pressure against the egg and then the egg is pushed into the bottle! This proves that air is all around and that it is pressing down on it.
小題1:Why is there the need to take care when you are doing the experiment?
A．The bottle could break.
B．You need to light the paper with a match.
C．The egg needs to be shelled.
D．The egg has to be perfectly placed on the neck of the bottle.
小題2:In the experiment, the burning inside the bottle can___.
A．equalize the air pressure inside and outside
B．make a seal in the neck of the bottle
C．finish up the oxygen inside the bottle
D．produce more oxygen inside the bottle
小題3:How did the egg put into the bottle？
A．The oxygen inside the bottle sucked the egg in.
B．It became saft without the shell.
C．The neck of the bottle was wide enough.
D．The outside air pressure forced it into the bottle.
小題4:The experiment is carried cut to prove ______.
A．water pushes on your body when you swim underwater.
B．the earth is surrounded by a layer of air called the atmosphere.
C．the pressure of air around us has a powerful force.
D．the air pressure is not equalized around us.

Moving in with a boyfriend causes women to eat more unhealthily and put on weight. But the opposite is true for men, whose long-term health benefits when they move in with a female partner.
Dieticians at Newcastle University said both partners try to please one another, and so change their dietary habits to suit their other half.
It leads men to eat more light meals, such as salads, fruit and vegetables, while women choose to make creamier, heavier dishes curry or rich pasta sauces, which may please their partner.
Women still have the strongest long-term influence over the couple’s diet and lifestyle, as they still have the traditional role of shopper and cook in most households.
The report, by Newcastle University’s Human Nutrition Research Centre, reviewed the finding of a variety of research projects from the UK, North America and Australia, which looked at the eating and lifestyle habits of couples.
The research shows that women are more likely to put on weight and increase their consumption of foods high in fat and sugar when they move in with their partner.
Women also use food as a comfort when dealing with emotional stress and have been found to gain weight when a relationship ends, while the same finding has not been observed in men.
Many couples reported food as being central to their partnership, and eating together in the evening was particularly important to many.
Report author and registered dietician Dr. Amelia Lake said, “The research has shown that your partner is a strong influence on lifestyle and people who are trying to live healthier lives should take this factor into consideration.”
41. According to the passage, moving in with a girlfriend, men _______.
A. have few changes of their dietary habits
B. have to eat more unhealthy foods
C. don’t like foods high in fat and sugar at all
D. try to eat foods that their girlfriends like
42. The underlined word “light”(in Paragraph 4 ) probably means ________.
A. not very heavy
B. less in fat and sugar
C. gentle
D. not serious or important
43. According to the report by Newcastle University’s Human Nutrition Research Centre, ________.
A. women put on weight only because they want to suit their other half
B. when men are faced with emotional stress, they will change their dietary habits
C. eating together in the evening is a good way to communicate for couples
D. it is wrong to change your dietary habits to suit your partner
44. From the passage, we can infer that _________.
A. women should pay more attention to their partner’s influence on them
B. more men will play roles of shopper and cook in most households
C. couples will not change their dietary habits and lifestyle to please their partner
D. long-term health of men benefits when they move in with a female partner
45. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Don’t be silly any more, women!
B. Which are better dietary habits?
C. Boyfriends make you fat
D. Dr. Amelia Lake and his study

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Being honest are fundamental requirements if you want to grow spiritually and follow your true destination of personal development. It's not simply about being honest with people. While that will make you a better person and a more accepted one it's more importantly about being honest with yourself.
Living your life honestly means that you've decided to live openly and to show your true self to others and that you can be relied upon to be trustworthy. On the other hand, dishonesty is all about shade and concealment and living your life in 'dark corners'. When you're dishonest, it means that you remain living in the dark and cannot grow spiritually.
Honesty produces trust-trust in ourselves and in all those around us. Trust in turn produces confidence which we all need to overcome life's problems and which also encourages us to take risks in order to achieve our goals.
You'll have no doubt you have heard expressions such as "what goes around, comes around" and "you get back, what you give out in life" and that's very true. If you don't live your lives honestly, you can be assured that the people you'll attract will turn out to be very similar to you and it's therefore unavoidable that one day you'11 be on the receiving end of someone's dishonest actions or words.
There may be situations where telling the whole truth causes you to bring a lot of pain on somebody else. For example, John may have told Paul that he can't go on a weekend fishing trip with him because he has a family commitment arranged that weekend. You know differently and that the real reason John isn't going is because he hates Paul. When Paul asks you if you know whether the reason is true, what do you say? Well, in situations like this, it's often better to be economical with the truth. You might say that you don't know why John can't go or that you think he has something on that weekend." Of course, this isn't telling the complete truth but you are sparing Paul's feelings on something that won't, after all, have strong influence on Paul's future.
小題1:If you want to grow spiritually, it is best for you to______.
A．follow your destination
B．be true to yourself
C．plan your personal development
D．a(chǎn)ccept honest people as ends
小題2:The passage tells us that if you choose to live a dishonest life, you will_____.
A．suffer from dishonesty
B．become very attractive
C．influence honest people
D．have attractive friends
小題3:The example in the last paragraph is used to prove that______.
A．we should always tell the truth
B．John is not a trustworthy person
C．telling lies causes pain on someone else
D．sometimes we can't be completely honest
小題4:What is the main idea of the passage?
A．We should be economical with the truth.
B．People can gain from dishonesty.
C．Honesty helps you develop.
D．Trust produces confidence.
