In its warm waters there are some little ones. We call them “coral islands”.A coral island is very nice to look at. It looks like a ring of land with trees, grass and flowers on it. One part of the ring is open to the water. There is a little round lake inside the island.If you look into this lake, you will see beautiful coral. You may think they are flowers. If you look at a piece of coral, you will see many little holes in it. In each of these holes a very small sea animal has lived. These sea animals make the coral.They began to build under the water. Year after year, the coral grew higher and higher. At last it grew out of the water.Then the sea brought it small trees and something else. After some years, these things changed into earth. Sometimes the wind brought seeds to this earth. Sometimes birds flew over it and brought seeds to the island.The little seeds grew. After a few years there were plants all over the island. After a few more years there were more trees growing there.So you see, these islands were built little by little. The workers were very small. Do they not teach us a lesson?36. In the sea _______.A. there are coral islands in all placesB. there are some coral islandsC. the water is always warmD. we can see many flowers37. There are _______ in the holes of coral.A. flowersB. little coralsC. grassD. sea animals38. How did seeds of trees, grass and flowers come to the coral islands?A. The wind and birds brought them to the coral islands.B. Only the wind brought them there.C. People brought them there.D. Fishes brought them there.39. From the story we learn that _______.A. small workers can’t do big thingsB. only big workers can do big thingsC. small workers can do big things if they work hard and work for a long timeD. all small things can do big thingsBBuzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the Moon, is a long-time fan of space tourism. He climbed out of Apollo Ⅱhot on the heels of Neil Armstrong in 1969. Now, at the age of 72, he is working on a new project that could put more fellows in space, namely, on journeys to one of our most fascinating neighbors, Mars(火星).Together with scientists from Purdue University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of Texas, Aldrin is designing spacecrafts that would continuously travel between Earth and Mars. These spacecrafts, known as “circlers”, would ca rry people between the two planets and enable humans to settle on Mars, which has long been dreamed about in science fiction. While now most people are convinced that they are going to do this：the only question is when.The average distance between Mars and Earth is 48 million miles. To get a sense of just how far this is, try doing this calculation: Given that there are 2,500 miles between New York and Los Angeles, how many times would you have to travel from NY to LA and back to cover the same distance? It sounds like a trip that would require a lot of fuel. According to the engineers, the circlers may have a natural, renewable “fuel” supply.When the circler flies by Earth, it will be traveling at a speed of about 13,000 miles per hour. Space taxis will be needed to bring people from the surface of the earth to intercept（拦截）the circler. “This sort of taxi is like a bus that doesn’t stop,”says Longuski, a professor from Purdue University. “When it comes by, you have to run alongside of it and grab on.”Aldrin and his group think that the first circler could be on its way by 2018. So, if you’re in high school now, you could be taking a trip to Mars by the time you’re in your thirties. It seems a long way off now, but it’s closer than you think!Fasten your seatbelts and your flight to space may set out soon.40. According to the text, Aldrin is a man who _______.A. loses interest in space nowB. can be sure to make the first circler fly to Mars before he diesC. is a designer and spacemanD. had ever been to Mars41. Which of the following statements about the “circlers” is TRUE?A. It can travel to any planetB. Without special fuel, it can fly very far without having to stop.C. The passengers get on it directly from the earthD. At the very beginning of designing it’s aimed at carrying more people.42. The underli ned word in the second paragraph means “_______”.A. afraidB. certainC. determinedD. concerned43. What can be the best title of this passage?A. Buzz AldrinB. Sailing to MarsC. Settling on MarsD. Designing spacecraftsCWhen the musical sound rings out, you immediately reach for your pocket ready to have a chat. But althoughyou probably use it all the time, have you ever stopped to think about the manners related to talking on the phone? If you haven’t, here are some tips to guide you.●Always give the person you are calling plenty of time to get to the phone before you hang up. If the person who answers is not the one you want, give your name and ask if you may speak to the person you want.●Think about the time you call people. Try not to call too early in the morning (before about 9∶00) or too late at night (after about 9∶30). Also try not to call at mealtimes.●If you go by plane to visit your relatives at Christmas, remember to follow airline instructions. Cell phones must be turned off as soon as the plane doors are closed and remain so until the doors open again on arrival.●When face to face with someone, do not talk on the phone. It is rude to be on the phone when a waiter is trying to take your order in a restaurant, or when you are returning the shoes you have just been trying on in a shop. Finish any face-to-face business before taking a call. Continuing to use the phone while nodding to the person in front of you is quite impolite.●When in a restaurant with your friends, keep phone conversations short. Make a call only if it is important. Practise speaking in a low voice. If no one looks your way, you’ve got it.●If you go to a theatre, a concert or a cinema, consider the other people around you. Check that your phone is “off”before you enter. If you are expecting a very important call, put your phone on “vibrate”(振动) and run for the exit as soon as you feel it. If you forget both “off” and “vibrate” and your phone rings, don’t answer it, turn it off straight away.44. Which is TRUE according to the passage above?A. You may call people anytime as you like.B. You may talk loudly on the phone at dinner in the restaurant.C. You may keep on talking on the phone while greeting somebody.D. You may call people as soon as you get on the plane, but not after the doors are closed.45. We may infer from these tips that _______.A. some people don’t pay much attention to manners while making cell phone callsB. you may ask to leave a message unless the person you are calling is inC. calling people too early or too late in the morning is not politeD. almost everyone has got a cell phone46. What does the underlined sentence mean in the passage?A. You have succeeded in making a call without disturbing others.B. You have made the phone call brief and interesting.C. You’ve got the message you are waiting for.D. You have made a phone call secretly.47. From the tips given above, we can decide the writer is sure to share the opinion that _______.A. 1ike the saying “clothes make a man”, no wadays cell phones make a manB. as the old saying goes, money talks; nowadays cell phones talkC. the way we use the cell phones tells what we are likeD. we are what cell phones we useDLondon—A morning train rides away, across the channel. English kids discuss the Liverpool’s football team in a Paris pub.Some Parisians have started to travel to work in London.In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two cities, London and Paris, in A Tale of Two Cities. These days, it might be A tale of One City.As there are few jobs at home over recent years, perhaps 250,000 Frenchmen moved across the channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours. The European Union freed them from immigration and customs.Paris, rich in beauty, is more stylish. But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down.“For me, the difference is that London is real, alive,” said Trevor Wheeler, a financial expert.Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agree s. “I am French, but I’ll stay in London,” she said.There is, of course, the other view. Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago. “I think people laugh more in Paris,” she said.“Both cities have changed beyond recognition,” said Larr y Collins, an author and sometimes a Londoner.Like most people who know both cities well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably.“I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better.”But certainly not cheaper.In some parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris.Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice.Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be clos e enough so they don’t have to choose.“I love Paris, my little neighbourhood, the way I can walk around a centre, but life is too organized,” she said. “In London, you can be whoever you want. No one cares.”48. It can be inferred that _______.A. Paris and London are the two biggest cities in the worldB. in the 19th century, Dickens told his stories in the two citiesC. London and Paris used to be separatedD. Liverpool is a big city in France49. According to this passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. People feel it difficult to find a job in Paris.B. People can’t travel to London without a passport.C. People can travel to London without a passport.D. People can find any job in London.50. Which city is better to live in according to the passage?A. Paris.B. London.C. Both cities.D. It just depends.51. What’s the meaning of the last sentence?A. People can do everything in London.B. People will feel lonely in London.C. People in London enjoy living in different ways.D. People in London enjoy a lawless life.EAn American researcher has developed a simple device(装置) to help people stop snoring. The device limits the movements of the tissues(组织) that cause the unpopular sound. Snoring is a common problem. It may prevent a person from getting enough sleep. It may also prevent enough oxygen from reaching heart and lungs during sleep. But for most people, snoring affects relations with another person who must sleep in the back room.Snoring happens when the sleeping person breathes with the mouth open. In the back of the mouth the tissues surrounding the entrance of the throat are soft. As the person breathes, the movement of the air around the soft tissues causes them to move or vibrate. This tissue movement causes the sound we call snoring. A number ofpossible solutions have been proposed. Some devices keep the mouth shut. They force the patient to breathe only through the nose. A medical operation is also possible. Other devices catch the sound of snoring and then wake the patient. The new antisnoring device was developed by a dentist, George Wagner of the Indian University School of Dentistry. He developed a piece of plastic that fits up against the inside of the mouth. The device keeps the soft tissues from vibrating and making the snoring noise. It is worn only at night. Doctor Wagner said that the simple device has ended several patients’ snoring problem in a simple way.52. The underlined word “snoring” ( in Paragraph 1) probably means ______.A. speaking while one sleepsB. dreaming while one sleepsC. noises made while one sleepsD. sighs given while one sleeps53. Snoring happens when a person is _______.A. dreaming at night, even during the dayB. breathing with one’s mouth closedC. sleeping with one’s mouth openD. poor in health54. From the passage we know that the simplest and most efficient way to prevent a person from snoring is to _______.A. keep the soft tissues from vibratingB. give patient a medical operationC. wake him / her up as soon as he / she snoresD. make him / her listen to the sound of snoring55. How many possible solutions to snoring have been proposed in the passage?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.第四节阅读表达(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，然后用简洁的语言回答文后5个问题。
