     After an earthquake most survivors can be expected to recover over time, particularly with the
support of family and friends. Some families will be able to return to their normal life quickly, while
others will have to contend with the destruction of their homes, medical problems, and injury to family
members. Children especially will need time to recover from the loss of a loved one or a pet or from the
closing down of their schools.
     Children often turn to adults for information, comfort and help. Parents should try to remain calm,
answer children's questions honestly and remain understanding when they see changes in their children's
behavior.
     Children react differently to an earthquake depending on their ages, developmental levels and former
experiences. Some will respond by withdrawing (不與人交往), while others will have angry outbursts
(爆發(fā)). Parents should remain sensitive to each child's reactions. Parents should spend time talking to
their children, letting them know that it's OK to ask questions and to share their worries. Although it may
be hard to find time to have these talks, parents can use regular family mealtimes or bedtimes for them.
They should answer questions briefly and honestly and be sure to ask their children for their opinions and
ideas. Issues may come up more than once and parents should remain patient when you answer the
questions again. For young children, parents, after talking about the earthquake, might read a favorite
story or have a relaxing family activity to help them calm down. Parents should also tell children they are
safe and spend extra time with them. They could play games outside or read together indoors. Most
importantly, be sure to tell them you love them.
1. What's the passage mainly about?
A. How to prepare before an earthquake strikes.
B. What to do in an earthquake.
C. How to face the loss of a loved one in an earthquake.
D. How to help children recover mentally from an earthquake.
2. The underlined phrase "contend with" in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by "______".
A. deal with
B. make up
C. put off
D. turn back
3. When children ask the same question again, parents should ______.
A. read a favorite story to comfort them.
B. ask them to help do some housework.
C. be patient and answer the question again.
D. take them out to play games.
4. Which of the following pieces of advice is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Keep a close watch on children's behavior.
B. Tell the children they are safe.
C. Tell the children you love them.
D. Ask educational experts for help.

　　________1．Lisa is a naturalist．She loves the outdoors and is fascinated with adventure and all types of wildlife．Along with enjoying wildlife she also has a passion for backpacking and hiking．Lisa is also interested in photography and will climb as high as needed to get that great shot．

　　________2．Martin，who is specialized in geography，would like to see a d which is filled with exciting discoveries of facts about the earth movements．He also hopes to observe the changer in rocks due to time and erosion．

　　________3．Kelly，just graduated from university．Her major is archeology．She is interested in ancient finds such as ：fossils of animals and plant life，old pottery and especially things dating back to the prehistoric age．Kelly hopes to unearth something significant so that she can develop her career．

　　________4．Simon is one excitement．He enjoys all out-door sports especially white water rafting．He has been searching for a park that can fulfill his taste for adventure．And at the same time he can appreciate the beautiful sceneries along the way．

　　________5．Chris is looking for something famous perhaps a“superstar”of parks．He is interested in everything from wildlife to earth activities．He hopes he can find a park which can offer the most to him．

　　A．This park is a vast natural museum，and it is recognized as the lowest point in the U．S．All the great divisions of geological（地質(zhì)的）time，the eras and most of their subdivisions，are represented（描寫）in the rocks of the mountains bordering the great valley．These rocks and the land forms tell a story of endless changes in the earth's crust（地殼）-vast depositions，contortions，tilting，alternate rising and lowering，faulting and intense heats and pressures that changed the very nature of some rocks．

　　B．This park protects a large deposit（存放）of fossil（化石）dinosaur bones-remains of the so-called“terrible lizards” that lived millions of years ago．The dinosaurs weren't really lizards，and most of them weren't even terrible．But some of the first dinosaur fossils ever found were huge bones and teeth，very lizard-like except for their size，and so the idea of monstrous lizards was born．Today，many ideas about dinosaurs are changing，and the fossils at this park continue to help us learn more about these fascinating animals．

　　C．With elevations ranging from 8，000 feet in the wet，grassy valleys to 14，259 feet at the weather-ravaged top of Long's Peak，a visitor to the park has opportunities for countless breathtaking experiences and adventures．A large variety of animals will delight wildlife-watchers of all ages．Wildflower-lovers are never disappointed in June and July when the meadows and hillsides are splashed with botanical color．359 miles of trail offer endless opportunities to hikers，backpackers and horseback riders．So far to find 60 peaks rising above 12，000 feet challenge intrepid hikers and climbers．

　　D．The world's largest concentration of natural stone arches is found in this park．Over 1500 of these“miracles of nature”grace the 73，000-acre area．And it is famous for the red arches of Entrada sandstone that occur there in great profusion．A 41-mile round-trip paved road in the park leads to the major sights， including Balanced Rock，Skyline Arch，and the Fiery Furnace．But there are also many other striking rock formations scattered over the park's 73，000 scenic acres．

　　E．Yellowstone is the oldest park in the U．S．park system and is its flagship．Visitors come to experience the park's restless geology；to see grizzlies，gray wolves，and herds of buffalo．Its turbulent（狂暴的）landscape-which remains among the most geologically active lands on the planet，with steam-spewing geysers（間歇溫泉），gurgling fumaroles，and frequent earthquakes-was protected as the world's first national park in 1872．Yellowstone and the huge tracts of national-forest land that ring it comprise one of the world's last intact temperate ecosystems-all its major species of plants and animals are still present．

　　F．This park has a canyon 200 miles long and about a mile deep．Along the ride you follow the Colorado River which carved this massive canyon．At times the canyon is from 5 to 15 miles across．The Colorado River continues to shape and gouge its way through the canyon where about 90 species of mammals（哺乳動物）and some 290 species of birds live．River rafting along the Colorado River has different options for people．You can go on long trips with organizations or even take a smooth ride down the river with a picnic style lunch．

　　將標(biāo)有AF的段落插入文章中標(biāo)號為69的合適的位置，使這篇文章意義完整，結(jié)構(gòu)連貫；其中有一個段落是多余的。

　　The cowboys who lived in the United States of America，before there were good roads or big modern cities，used to live on the huge spaces of grassland called ranges，because that was where the cows that they looked after could find plenty of grass and water．　1　

　　In the early days it was a hard job getting the cows to the markets where they were killed．It was no good killing them on the range because there were no lorries or railways to carry the meat．　2　

　　On the trail the leader was the trail boss，who told the men which jobs to do．He decided where they should camp at night．

　　Hundreds or maybe thousands of cattle were taken on the trail．　3　

　　Of course，the chuck wagon went too．“ Chuck was a cowboy name for food，and so the chuck wagon was where the cook did his work and carried his stores of food．The tail board of the wagon made a good shelf，as the back part of the wagon could open outwards so it served very well as a shelf．The cook was able to feed the cowboys，but the cattle had to find their own food on the trail．They ate as they moved along．

　　　4　 The cowboys worked very hard and had little time to play When they were resting on the trail they would play cards，tell stories，sing cowboy songs and mend their equipment．

　　　5　 The cattle will also arrive fresh and fat when they arrive at the place whereas they would have become tired and thin if they had been taken on the trail．

A．The cattle had to be driven along in a large herd to the towns where they were needed．The places with lots of people who needed meat were often hundreds or thousands of miles away from the ranges．The cattle were rounded up，and those to be sent away were kept together．

B．It was a long，slow job，and the herd covered only about fifteen or twenty miles each day．This meant that the journey to market took many weeks．All this time the cowboy worked in the saddle and slept on the hard ground．They began work the sun rose and they were on their horses for many hours day after day．

C．Because of the danger of the stampede（驚跑），the trail boss and his men did everything they could to keep the cattle quiet．During the day the herd was moved along at a slow，steady pace．At night when most of the men were asleep，a gang of cowboys would ride round and round the herd，singing and whistling softly．This was to let the cows know that everything was all right．

D．But when the time came to sell the cows，there were no buyers on the range-they had to be taken into market．

E．The herd was not made to move too quickly-if they rushed along they would get thin and not be worth much at the market．Some cowboys rode beside them，some in front and others at the back．Cows which moved too slowly were hurried along．Cows which tried to get away were made to go back to the herd．

F．When railways were built there were no need to take cattle on the trail．Instead they were put into railway cars and taken quickly to the markets．Today a fast cattle train will take only a few hours to do a journey which once took the cowboys and their herds many days or weeks．

第三部分：閱讀理解（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題紙上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

Bill Javis took over our village’s news-agency at a time of life when most of us only wanted to relax. He just thought he would like something but not too much to do, and the news-a??gency was ready-made. The business produced little enough for him, but Bill was a man who only wanted the simplicity and order and regularity of the job. He had been a long-serving sailor, and all his life had done everything by the clock.

Every day he opened his shop at 6:00 a. m. to catch the early trade; the papers arrived on his doorstep before that. Many of Bill’s customers were city workers, and the shop was convenient for the station. Business was tailing off by 10 o’clock, so at eleven sharp Bill closed for lunch. It was hard luck on anybody who wanted a paper or magazine in the after??noon, for most likely Bill would be down on the river bank, fishing, and his nearest competitor was five kilometers away. Sometimes in the afternoon, the evening paper landed on the doorway, and at 4 o’clock Bill reopened his shop. The evening rush lasted till seven, and it was worthwhile.

He lived in a flat above the shop, alone. Except in the very bad weather, you always knew where to find him in the af??ternoon, as I have said. Once, on a sunny afternoon, I walked home along the river bank from a shopping trip to the village. By my watch it was three minutes past four, so I was aston??ished to see Bill sitting there on his little chair with a line in the water. He had no luck, I could see, but he was making no effort to move.

“What’s wrong, Bill?” I called out from the path.

For answer, he put a hand in his jacket and took out a big, golden object. For a moment I had no idea what it could be, and then it suddenly went off with a noise like a fire en??gine. Stopping the bell, Bill held the thing up and called back, “Ten to four, you see, and this is dead right.”

I had never known anyone carrying a brass alarm clock round with him before.

71. Bill Javis became a news-agent when _______.

A. he needed the money      

B. he was quite an old man

C. he decided to take up fishing  

D. he gave up clock-repairing

72. Bill opened the shop so early in the day because _______.

A. he liked to do as much as possible before he went to work

B. the shop had to be open when the morning papers came

C. he was never sure of time

D. it was then that he did a lot of business

73. From the information given in the passage, who or what do you think was wrong?

A. The bell was－it must have gone off at the wrong time.

B. Bill was－h(huán)e had dropped off to sleep.

C. The writer’s watch was－it was fast.

D. Bill’s clock was－it was old.

     Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard
about tea. People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very
expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from
Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They
thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt.
They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give
them to their children as sandwiches. Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of
the East In-dia Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next
few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could af-ford to buy it. At the
same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea. Until then tea had been drunk
without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted
like when milk was added. She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because
she was such a great lady her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea
with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Brit-ons (British
people) drink tea without milk. At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought
of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three
or four o'clock stopped her getting" a sinking feeling" as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new
meal with her and so, tea-time was born.
1. Which of the following is true of the introduction of tea into Britain?
A. The Britons got expensive tea from India.
B. Tea reached Britain from Holland.
C. The Britons were the first people in Europe who drank tea.
D. It was not until the 17th century that the Britons had tea.
2. This passage mainly discusses _______.
A. the history of tea drinking in Britain
B. how tea became a popular drink in Britain
C. how the Britons got the habit of drinking tea
D. how tea-time was born
3. Tea became a popular drink in Britain ______.
A. in eighteenth century
B. in sixteenth century
C. in seventeenth century
D. in the late seventeenth century
4. We may infer from the passage that the habit of drinking tea in Britain was mostly due to the
     influence of _________.
A. a famous French lady
B. the ancient Chinese
C. the upper social class
D. people in Holland

     My name is Lanier Lobdell, and I am a 55 - year - old woman with rheumatoid arthritis (風(fēng)濕性
關(guān)節(jié)炎), or RA. RA is a disease that mostly affects the joints, but it can also affect internal organs. I
have had RA for almost21 years, and it definitely has changed my life, however, I try not to live my life
like I have a disease.
     For me, attitude is everything. I always try to find humor in the situation or try to ignore it, but that
does not always work. These days I can hardly walk due to my ankles, yet I still try and do the things I
always did. I love riding my motorcycle, and I try to take long trips every year.
      This year I got involved with some folks who make the biologic medicine I am on, to create the
Going the Extra Mile Tour to raise awareness about RA. The tour will take me across the country and
back on my motorcycle, making stops along the way to meet with local Arthritis Foundation (AF)
chapters and people who are affected by all forms of arthritis including RA.
     I want to encourage people not to let RA stop them from living their lives the best they can. There
are so many new medicines coming out these days, and they can really help. People have to be their
own supporters and get informed -- knowledge is power. Talk to your doctor and focus on what you
can do--not what you can't. Rest when your body is telling you to and push and keep going when you
can. Learn to listen to your body- that's how I deal with having RA.
1. Lanier Lobdell is a woman ______.
A. who got RA at the age of 32
