20.A.for B.through C.with D.on
1.解析:選B。彗星應該是“擊中”地球,所以應該是hit。 beat意為反復的 “擊打”。
2.解析:選A。有具體日期的時間短語前要用on。
3.解析:選D。彗星碎塊進入“大氣層”。所以應該是atmosphere。
4.解析:選D。該塊彗星石的大部分已經燃燒,剩下的部分和地球相撞。rest不能作定語。只能說the rest of sth.。
5.解析:選A。以兩百倍聲速才符合科學常識。
6.解析:選D。大海沸騰起來,而不是燃燒起來。harm和destroy詞義不符題意,另外也不能作不及物動詞。
7.解析:選C。好幾百萬人丟了命。dead表示死亡狀態(tài);sb. be lost表示迷路。
8.解析:選D。另一塊彗星降落在阿根廷境內。
9.解析:選B。句意為:火山和地震被引發(fā)。set sth. off引發(fā)某物劇烈發(fā)生。
10.解析:選B。shock waves沖擊波,符合語境。
11.解析:選C。由文意可知,這兩座城市完全被毀滅。
12.解析:選A。第一段最后一句提示了該兩塊彗星會擊中南半球。
13.解析:選A。這前后兩句應該為遞進關系。
14.解析:選B。句意為:太陽被云層遮蓋。
15.解析:選D。戰(zhàn)爭爆發(fā)應該用break out。
16.解析:選C。前句說“Crops are ruined”,所以國與國會為爭奪糧食而戰(zhàn)。
17.解析:選D。句意為:一年后地球上僅僅存留著一千萬人。
18.解析:選B。此句意為“這種事情真的會發(fā)生嗎”,而非“這種事情可能是事實嗎”;因為it指這種事情,而不是該彗星,所以C、D兩項都不對。
19.解析:選C。此句應為“恐龍曾經在地球上生活過1.6億年”,并沒有延續(xù)到現在,所以不能為現在完成時態(tài);另外,shows是現在時態(tài),所以答案也不能是過去完成時態(tài)。
20.解析:選B?铸埐荒堋岸冗^這樣的氣候”。

Glynis Davis:
I first piled on the pounds when I was in the family way and I couldn’t lose them afterwards. Then I joined a slimming club. My target was 140 pounds and I lost 30 pounds in six months. I felt great and people kept saying how good I looked. But Christmas came and I started to slip back into my old eating habits. I told myself I’d lose the weight at slimming classes in the new year… but it didn’t happen. Instead of losing the pounds, I put them on. I’d lost willpower and tried to believe that the old bag of fish and chips didn’t make any difference — but the scales don’t lie.
Roz Juma:
To be honest, I never weigh myself any more. I’ve learnt to be happy with myself. It seemed to me that I would feel sorry about every spoonful of tasty food that passed my lips. My idea is simple. You shouldn’t be too much thinking about food and dieting. Instead, you should get on with life and stop dreaming of a super thin body. This is obviously the size I’m meant to be and, most of all, I’m happy with it.
Lesley Codwin:
I was very happy at winning Young Slimmer of the year. I’d look in the mirror unable to believe this slim lady was me! That might have been my problem — perhaps from then on I didn’t pay any attention to myself. Winning a national competition makes everything worse, though. Because you feel the eyes of the world are fixed upon you. I feel a complete failure because I’ve put on weight again.
Ros Langfod:
Before moving in with my husband Gavin, I’d always been about 110 pounds, but the pleasant housework went straight to my waist and I put on 15 pounds in a year. Every so often I try to go on a diet… I’m really good in a few days, then end up having the children’s leftovers or eating happily chocolate — my weakness. I’d like to be slim, but right now my duty is the children and home. I might take more exercise when my kids are older.
1.What do you think the four women were talking about?
A.Different diets they prefer.
B.Their life after marriage.
C.Tex books for students.
D.Their own slimming matter.
2.Where are these short passages most likely to be taken from?
A.Talks on the air.
B.Advertisements on the wall.
C.Books in a library.
D.Magazines for children.
3.What does the underlined word “scales” possibly mean?
A.The coach in the slimming club.
B.Some tool to measure weight.
C.Glynis Davis’ dear husband.
D.The salesperson in a food shop.
4.Which of the following best describes each of the four women’s attitudes towards slimming?
① Glynis Davis a. I put on weight soon after I got married.
② Roz Juma b. Frame doesn’t necessarily mean success.
③ Lesley Codwin c. Facts speak much louder than words.
④ Ros Langfod d. I like myself as I am, and to be what you are.
A.①-a; ②-d; ③-b; ④-c B.①-c; ②-b; ③-d; ④-a
C.①-c; ②-d; ③-b; ④-a D.①-a; ②-b; ③-c; ④-d

How old was I? I can’t recall. Maybe I was only 10, about to turn 11, making it the first Christmas after my father left, and left me to fill that sad, shattered place in my mother’s heart. Whenever it was, it was the Christmas the magic changed: the year I stopped being a wide-eyed child and tried eagerly to play Father Christmas myself. It was the Christmas of the coat.
Mom first saw the coat at Tobias, one of the nicer women’s stores in our town’s little mall. It was a deep forest green. A long, heavy, wool dress coat with side pockets. Mom pulled it out from the rack(架) and held it up. “Long enough,”she murmured and slipped it on.
“I need a new coat,” Mom smiled before the three-way mirror. She made any clothing look good, and this coat hugged her just right. She glanced at the price tag, then hung the coat back on the rack, pausing once more to feel the smooth brush of wool.
Eighty-seven dollars. But I didn’t think twice. As we moved on through the mall, I found some excuse to come back and ask one of the Tobias ladies to hold the coat.
At last I had the coat. The store ladies wrapped it in their biggest box with bright blue paper and a thick silver ribbon. I don’t remember how I got it home, but I can still feel the bursting excitement and pride that filled me each time I glimpsed at the beautifully wrapped gift hiding under my sweater. I would occasionally dig it out just to hold the box, to imagine the big space it would take up under our tree. Here it was ─ joy, peace, and love ─ all wrapped up, waiting for Mom’s loving gratitude.
36. That the writer’s mother felt the coat before they left the store showed that ____.
A. the coat was of good quality B. the coat was too expensive
C. she liked the coat very much D. she’d get it in the end
37. The writer tried to act as Father Christmas in order to ____.
A. show he grew up B. show he missed his father
C. bring his mother a surprise D. enjoy himself
38. The writer hid the coat under his sweater in order to ____.
A. imagine the space taken up under the Christmas tree
B. feel the strong feeling to his mother on Christmas
C. give his mother a big surprise on Christmas Day
D. keep the new coat tidy and orderly in the box
39. What can be the best title of this passage?
A. A Merry Christmas B. Christmas of the Coat
C. A Deep Green Coat D. Mother’s Merry Christmas

On the first day of the sixth grade, I noticed one little girl called Amy on the school bus. “ Don’t 16 her,” warned Lauren, who sat beside me. “or they will make fun of you.”
Amy had many 17 differences - lots of reasons for other kids to make fun of her. Her eyes weren’t straight. Her glasses were an inch thick. And she had really uneven teeth.
Every day 18 we drove to and from school, kids would shout insults(侮辱) at Amy. “God,what a strange face! Stop 19 me!” “Mr. Rolland (the driver)! Amy took off her glasses, and now her eyes are frightening me. 20 her put them back on!” For a while I shouted my 21 of insults, just so I’d fit in. 22 , I didn’t want them to treat me the same way they treated Amy.
But while I was insulting her, my heart 23 for the girl. I could see that the insults were making her look uglier, because she was so 24 and alone. Then I wanted to 25 her. I just didn’t know how to stop my schoolmates - 26 the night of our class roller-skating party.
Our whole class was there, 27 Amy. Amy didn’t know how to skate, but I could see how much she wanted to have 28 like the rest of us. So I skated over to her and took her by the hand. 29 we began the journey together around the skating rink. She just smiled, and every once in a while she would laugh in excitement.
On the school bus the next morning, there was much 30 about Amy and me skating together. But 31 insulted her or me. And they didn’t do that for the rest of the year. I 32 heard from Amy again after the school year. But I’ve always 33 that I changed her life for the better.
She changed my 34 . After becoming her friend, I no longer tried to impress people by trying to 35 like them. I became myself.
