AJules Verne’s most famous book is “Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea”. (A “league” is an old word 16 about three miles.) In those days submarines (潜水艇) had not been 17 , but he describes an underwater ship very like a modern submarine. The captain of the submarine, called Captain Nemo, and his men have many strange adventures and find many strange things 18 the bottom of the ocean. He was a very good 19 . His characters often did surprising and sometimes impossible things, but they always seemed 20 real people.In another book, “Around the World in Eighty Days”, Jules Verne creates Mr. Fogg, the hero, 21 made a bet that he would travel around the world in eighty days. Nowadays this may seem 22 to you, but in those days there were no planes or even cars. Mr. Fogg and his servant traveled in many different 23 , even on an elephant at one time! If you want to know their result, you should read the book.In all his books Jules Verne used his scientific knowledge 24 his imagination in describing future inventions. 25 he was wrong, of course, but often the accuracy of his descriptions is very clever.16.

The doctor came, examined him and said, “You will be well again in a few days if you take bull’s milk.” The king was very surprised, for he had never heard of a bull that gave milk. “How is it possible?” he asked.“Order Gulbo, the scholar, to get it for you. He can do anything.” The doctor was an enemy to Gulbo, and thought this would be a way of making him suffer. When the king told Gulbo what the doctor had said and ordered him to get bull’s milk, Gu lbo immediately understood what the doctor was trying to do.When he got home he sat thinking how to get out of the difficulties. His daughter, seeing him worried, asked what was the matter. On hearing what the king had asked for, she said, “Don’t worry, f ather,I’ll help you.”The next day she took some old clothes, went to the bank of the river near the palace, and chose a place below the king’s bedroom window.In the middle of the night, when everyone was in bed, she started todo her washing. She made so much noise that the king could not sleep. The king got very angry and set a guard to find out what was the matter. The soldier found the girl, and led her to the king. “Whydo you wash your clothes here at night?” asked the king.The girl pretended to be afraid and said, “I had to wash clothes at night. This afternoon my father had a baby. I was busy all day because of that. Then I found there were no clean clothes for the baby,so I had to come and wash them now.”“What!” cried the king, “Are you tryin g to make a fool of me? Who ever heard of a man having a baby?”“Well, if the king himself orders someone to get bull’s milk for him, why can’t a man have a baby?”The king smiled and said, “You must be Gulbo’s daughter. Go andtell your father that he may keep the bull’s milk for his baby.”1. According to the doctor in the story, the king’s illness can be cured by ______.A. making Gulbo sufferB. drinking bull’s milkC. seeing another doctorD. feeding him with cow’s milk2.

Pollution is caused either by man’s release of completely new and often artificial (人造的) substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance (物质)，such as oil from oil tankers into the sea.Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up three of four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which can’t be reused. Thisnot only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources,in terms of glass, metal and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess use and careless disposal (处理) of the products we use in our daily lives.1. The main cause of pollution is __________.A. the release of artificial or natural substances into the environmentB. the production of new industrial goodsC. increased amounts of a natural substanceD. our ever-increasing population2. Much of the pollution could be controlled if only __________.A. people would pay more attention to the problemB. governments would take effective measuresC. all sides concerned would make more effortsD. farmers would use less artificial fertilizers3. Food packages, bottles and tins for drinks can cause __________.A. air and water pollutionB. both a litter problem and a waster of resourcesC. to pay for the serviceD. to produce the receipt4. Which of the following can not help solving the problem of pollution?A. Cutting out unnecessary buying.B. Eating.C. Reduce excess use.D. Carefully dispose our daily products.5. Wha t does the underlined word “litter” mean in paragraph 2?A. not manyB. serious problemC. bits of waste thingsD. industrial pollutionACBBCThousands of years ago, in the middle of an ocean, miles from the nearest island, an undersea volcano broke out. The hot liquid piled higher and higher and spread wider and wider. In this way, an island rose up in the sea.As time went on, hot sun and cool rains made the rock split and break to pieces. Sea waves dashed against the rock. In this way, soil and sand came into being.Nothing lived on the naked soil. And then the wind and birds brought plant seeds, spiders and other little creatures there. Only plants could grow first. Only they, in sunlight, could produce food from the minerals of the soil, water and air. While many animals landed on the island, they could find no food. A spider spun its web in vain, because there were no insects for its web to ca tch. Insects couldn’t stay until there were plants for them to eat. So plants had to be the pioneer life on this new island.1. The passage centers on __________.E. how an undersea volcano broke outF. how an island rose up in the seaG. how soil was formed on a new islandH. how life began on a volcano-produced island2.According to the passage, the island got its first soil from __________.A. sea wavesB. the sand brought by the windC. its own rockD. cool rains3.The word “naked” (in para. 3) could be replaced by which of the following?A. hiddenB. newC. mysteriousD. bare4.The order of coming into being on the island is __________.A. soil, plants and animalsB. soil, little creatures and plantsC. soil, birds and plantsD. soil, human beings and animals5. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE ?A. Spiders were the first life that could live on the island.B. The island is far away from any piece of land.C. Insects could not live on the island without plants.D. Plants were brought to the island by human being.DCDACIn the last 500 years, nothing about people – not their clothes, ideas, or languages – has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500’s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the“Potato Famine”of 1845-6, and thousands more were forced to emigrate to America.There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction.Brazil is now the World’s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400’s.According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a goatherd name Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the “wide-awake”feeling that one-third of the world’s population now starts the day with.1. According to the passage, which of the following has changed the most in the last 500 years?A. Food C. PotatoB. Chocolate D. Coffee2. “Some” in “Some still exist today” means _________.A. some cocoa trees C. some shopsB. some chocolate drinks D. some South American Indians3. Thousands of I rish people starved during the “Potato Famine” because _________.A. they were so dependent on the potato that they refused to eat anything elseB. they were forced to emigrate to AmericaC. the weather conditions in Ireland were not suitable for growing the potatoD. the potato harvest was bad4. Coffee originally came from_________.A. BrazilB. ColombiaC. EthiopiaD. Arabia5. The Arabic legend is used to prove that _________.A. coffee was first discovered by KaldiB. coffee was first discovered by Kaldi’s goatsC. coffee was first discovered in south American countriesD. coffee drinks were first made by ArabsACDCDCrime Prevention InitiativesThe chances that you will be a victim of violent crime are low. But youcan avoid risk in the following ways.AT HOME• You should make sure your house or flat is secure. Always lock the door from the inside at night, but you must keep the key nearby, so that you can use it to get out quickly if there is a fire.• You must never give keys to workmen as they can easily make copies.• If you wake up and hear a burglar, stay quietly in bed. Pretend you are asleep. If you feel more confident, switch on the light and make a lot of noise; even if you are on your own you should call out loudly to an imaginary companion, so that the burglar thinks you are not alone and runs away. You should have a phone or a mobile in your bedroom to alert the police immediately.• If you come home and think you see signs of a break-in, you shouldn’t go in, the burglar may be inside. You should go to a neighbour and call the police.ON THE STREETAt night:•Always walk facing the traffic, so that a car cannot pull up behind you.•You mustn’t go through parks or woods.• If you think someone is following you, cross the road one or two times. If he or she continues to follow you, go to a pub or other public place.• Always carry your bag close to you, but carry your house keys in your pocket so that you can open the door quickly. If someone attacks you - remember your safety is more important than your property.1. This passage mainly focuses on ________.A. how to avoid the crimes both at home and in the streetB. where to stay if you want to be safeC. what you should do at home if there is a burglaryD. how to avoid the crime at night in the street2.

Based on the passage, if you notice someone following you, it’s better for you to_________.A. shout loudlyB. go to public placesC. stop, turn around and look at himD. run quickly4. Why should you have a telephone in the bedroom?A. Because we might use it to alert the burglary.B. Because it’s convenient for us to talk to our friends while lying on bed.C. Because it’s convenient for us to report to the police in case there is a burglary.D. Because it we might use it to make a phone call at midnight.5. From the passage, we can infer that we might be victims if _________.A. we cannot part with the money when being attackedB. we always walk facing the trafficC. we don’t walk in the empty streetD. we carry too much cashABBCAAn Extraordinary Change of DirectionMolly Wilson had been a dancer and a mother for many years when she decided to sail round the world to raise money for charity.As a child she had trained as a ballet dancer, but at 15 she had grown too tall for classical ballet, so she became a member of a pop dance team.She got married, and after she had children she retired from show business to bring them up. They grew up, and when they were 18 they left home.She says, “When I decided to do the round-the-world race, my husband thought I was bored because the children had left home. He was also worried because I had never sailed before. I was not bored, but I had met some people who told me about the race.They had taken part in it, but they had only done one section, say, from New Zealand to Australia. I wanted to do the whole ten-month journey.”Before Molly left she did a lot of training, but it hadn’t prepared her for the worst weather which they experienced. She tells one story. “One night the sea was very rough and it was very cold. I had gone downstairs when a huge wave smashed into the boat and injured two men on the deck. One of the men couldn’t move because he had broken his leg. They were taken to hospital by helicopter. That was the worst time.”By the end of October last year, she had raised more than £50,000 for charity.She says, “Sometimes I ask myself, what did I do? How did I do it? But then I think, it’s the same as being a dancer. Before I left on the trip, I had trained hard. I had got very fit and had prepared myself completely. Then on the trip I was simply a good team member.”1. What does the word “extraordinary” mean in the title?A. very ordinaryB. very unusual and surprisingC. not specialD. extreme2. The sentence “…my husband thought I was bored …” in Para. 4 meant that myhusband thought I felt_________.A. dissatisfied because I had nothing better to do at homeB. annoyed because I had to wait long for my children to come back homeC. happy because I could do something I was interested in instead of taking care ofchildrenD. sad because all the children left me when they grew up3. The word “section” in Para. 4 most probably means here _________.A. group of peopleB. part of the trainingC. part of the route of sailD. part of the job4. Which of the following is nearest (closest) in meaning to “rough”。
