（30分）(A)Most Western people believe 12 star signs and they think that one’s date of birth decides his star sign. They also think that people born under different star signs have different characteristics. In their opinion, if you were born on 16th May, you should be stubborn, hard-working and patient. You do not like change, and never give up easily.Is it completely right? I don’t think so. A person’s birthday can’t be decided by himself. But his characteristics can be changed by the environment around him. I have a friend. He was born on 15th April and belongs to Aries. According to the information about Aries, we know that people of Aries are sometimes too impatient and a little selfish. But my friend always does things patiently, and he often th inks of others more than himself and isn’t selfish at all. He isn’t interested in becoming a leader and just does what he should do.So I think not all the people born under the same star sign share similar characteristics. That may just be a coincidence.( ) 1. The writer of the passage_____________.A. is crazy about star signsB. thinks much of star signsC. disagrees with what star signs say about a personD. thinks nothing can decide a person’s characteristics except p arents( ) 2. According to the star sign, a man born on 16th May should be____________.A. changeable and patientB. stubborn and patientC. hard-working and cleverD. patient and outgoing( ) 3. The writer believes___________ can change a person’s characteristics.A. parentsB. teachersC. birthdaysD. the environment around ( ) 4. The writer tells the story of his friend to_____________.A. let more people know him and make friends with himB. prove a person’s characteristics aren’t always decided by his birthday and star signC. show that he/she knows more about a person’s characteristics than star signsD. make us know his friend doesn’t want to be a leader( ) 5. The un derlined word ―coincidence‖ probably means___________ in Chinese.A. 巧合B. 真理C. 规律D. 定理(B)Where is Polar Bear’s Home?In the world, there are only about 20,000 polar bears. The polar bears are becoming less and less. In order to protect them, many countries have made laws(法律) to forbid(禁止) catching or killing them.The polar bears live in a world of ice and snow — the North Pole. They are strong with shorttails and thick legs. They have white, thick hair but black skin. The hair can keep out cold; the black skin can get warmth from the sun. They are good swimmers and hunters. What do they eat? They like eating fishes and seals(海豹). How do they catch seals? They try to find the holes when the seals breathe in the water, and then they wait quietly. When the seals come out, they make a surprise attack. How clever they are!The polar bears make their homes on the ice. The ice should be neither too thick nor too thin. On the thick ice, there is no food; on the thin ice, their homes are not strong. But as the earth is getting warmer and warmer, too much ice in the North Pole is melting(融化). That destroys the polar bears’ home. Though they are good at swimming, they can not stay in water all the time. We are sad to see some polar bears drown(溺死) because they can not find a piece of ice to rest! What’s more, some scientists say there may be no ice in North Pole in 2070!6.There are about _________ polar bears in the world.A.2,000B. 20,000C. 200D. 21,0007.The hair of the polar bear can keep out ___________.B.cold B. warmthC. waterD. wind8.The polar bear likes eating _________ and ________.A. fishes, grassB. fishes, dolphinsC. meat, fruitsD. fishes, seals9.The home of polar bear is ____________.A. on the iceB. in the waterC. on the landD. on the water10.Some scientists say there may be no ice in North Pole in ___________.A. 2012B. 2017C. 2070D. 2027(C) Chris Lee keeps coolWords can’t explain how much her fans love Li Yuchun.
