Just tell them that they have it easy compared to emperor penguin(帝企鹅). This parent has one of the toughest jobs in the world.Emperor penguins mate in Antarctica in March or April. The female lays an egg in May or June. Then the mother penguin carefully passes the egg to the father, who balances it on top of his feet. The penguins must be very careful not to drop the egg, as it can crack or freeze if it touches the ground.The mother leaves to find food, and the father waits patiently for the egg to hatch(孵化). This usually takes at least 60 days. During that time, th e father doesn‟t eat, and he must stay very still so he doesn‟t hurt the egg.第 4 页共 10 页 4By the time the chick hatches, the father is very weak. But he must feed the baby if the mother has not yet returned. He does this by making a special liquid(液体) in his throat （喉咙）. Luckily the mother penguin usually returns within a few days after the chick hatches. She feeds the chick and takes care of it so the father can go and get food for himself. By this time the male has gone 115 days without eating.( )51.What does the mother penguin do after she lays the egg?A. She finds food.C. She takes care of the egg. B.

The father leaves to find food.C. The mother returns with food.D. The parents take turns caring for the chick.B Jesse‟s DiaryI‟m so thankful we‟re all okay. I never imagined I‟d have to go through something as frightening as what happened yesterday. At first I thought we were about to have just a regular thunderstorm. The sky got dark and the wind picked up. Dad came in early from the fields on his tractor(拖拉机). Then my sister Julia said, “Look at the sky. Doesn‟t it look strange?”We went to the window and saw strange, heavy clouds. The sky was frighteningly yellowish. I heard the wind begin to roar and started to feel frightened. Mom told us to run to the storm cellar(地下室), but I wanted to go to my room to get some of my things first. Mom forced me to stay with everyone else. As we ran toward the storm cellar, I saw a long, thin cloud drop down from the sky and touch the ground. The noise grew louder, like a train rushing straight at us. My little brother Mark started to cry. I picked him up and carried him down the steps into the cellar.We turned on the emergency lamps and sat close to each other. Above us, we heard horrible sounds of crashing and tearing that seemed to go on forever. All I could think about was losing my computer and MP3 player. I knew Julia was worried about the clothes she had just bought, and Mark was thinking about his favorite toys.When it finally grew quiet again, we came upstairs. The whole house was gone—just gone. The garage(车库) next to the house hadn‟t been touched, and the barn(粮仓) was fine. We all had the exact same reaction（反应）. Instead of crying about what we had lost, we hugged each other and cried because everyone was safe. We still had what mattered most—our family.( )54.

There is no love like a mother‟s love.B. Fear can make bad events better.C. Taking care of your belongings is important.D. Family is the most important thing. C◆ You'll never be good at Maths.It's generally accepted that boys are good at Maths and girls aren't. The fact is that it isn't true. When girls reach their teens, most of them lose their interest in Maths. They think they are females. They want to stay away from things that are boys' things, and Maths is still thought of to be a boy's thing, The Maths class is hard, but if you give it a chance, you could be great at Maths, especially because you are a girl.◆ Lots of websites tell visitors that losing interest in eating is a beautiful thing. They are lying. Losing interest in eating is illness, not a healthy thing. It can kill you.◆ You are not supposed to make as much money as a guy.It's said that in 2011 women who work full-time earn about 23 percent less than guys earn. Once you see real women successful in cool jobs, you'll truly get that you're worth just as much or more than any guys.◆ Caffeine (咖啡因) will help you study better.Caffeinated soft drinks have long been advertised as must-haves for women when you have to work very hard. But if you want to do your body a big favor（喜爱）, you'd better give up caffeine altogether.( ) 58. The word "skinny" means “very_______”.A. talljob get?A. About $20,000.B. About $25,000.C.

Four lies to girlsDAn astronaut‟s work may sound exciting, but living in space isn‟t as much fun as you think. Here are some ways space station living can become a little horror story.1. Fingernails fall off When astronauts(宇航员) work outside the station during spacewalks, they have to wear spacesuit gloves. The gloves are so tight that they cut blood circulation. A recent study found that about 10 percent of astronauts have fingernail damage(伤害) from gloves, with a number of them losing a fingernail(指甲).2. Untasty space food In space, you don‟t ha ve many choices about food. Fresh fruit and vegetables are rare. Food like bread is not suitable to eat in space because it leaves crumbs, which fly around everywhere rather than fall to the floor, and are difficult to clear up.3. Shower troubles Microgravity makes it impossible to have a normal shower in space. Instead, astronauts use a squirt gun that shoots out water, and a wash cloth. They also have a special rinse-less shampoo to keep their hair clean.4. Weak bones A recent study found that astronaut s‟ bone strength weakens by at least 14 percent during a half-year stay in space. Other research indicates that an astronaut's bone mineral density can drop by between 0.4 percent and 1.8 percent each month they are on the station. While there is no complete fix for this problem, astronauts do bone-strengthening exercises while they're on the station to try to avoid(避免) having the bones of a 90-year-old.5. Loneliness Perhaps the hardest part of life in space is the feeling of loneliness when they spend months away from the whole planet, especially their friends and family. ( )62.What is the hardest part of life in space?A. Fingernails fall offB. Shower troublesC. Weak bonesD. Loneliness( in a year.A. 0.4%B. 4.8 %C. 28%D. 50%( )64.Which of the following statements about astronauts is True according to the article?A. About 10 percent of astronauts have lost a fingernail.B. Bread and fresh fruit are astronauts‟ favourite in space.C. Astronauts use a squirt gun and a wash cloth to clean their hair.D. Astronauts do bone-strengthening exercises to increase(增强) their bone strength. ( )65.What would happen if an astronaut didn‟t do bone-strengthening exercises in space?A. His or her bone mineral density would increase by 0.4 % yearly.B. His or her fingernails would come off one by one.C. He or she would have the bones of a 90-year-old.D. His or her bone strength would increase by 14 percent.第 7 页共 10 页 7第Ⅱ卷（非选择题共60分）五、词汇（本题共15小题，每小题1分，共15分）A．根据句意、释义或中文提示,写出句中所缺单词，使句子通顺。
