Kate was in Sydney for .A. a picnic B.a concert C. a football game D. a flower showBAlong the river banks of the Amazon and the Orinoco, there lives a bird that swims before it can fly, flies like a fat chicken, eats green leaves, has the stomach of a cow and has claws(爪)on its wings when young. They builc:l their homes about 4.6 m above the river, an important feature for the safety of the young. It is called the hoatzin. In appearance, the birds of both sexes(性別)look very much alike with brown on the back and cream and red on the underside. The head is small，with a large set of feathers on the top, bright red eyes, and blue skin. Its nearest relatives are the common birds, cuckoos. Its most obvious(明顯的)feature, though, is only found in the young. Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of each wing tip. Using these four claws, together with the beak(嘴)，they can climb about in the bushes, looking very much like primitive birds(原始鳥)must have done. When the young hoatzins have learned to fly, they lose their claws. During the drier months between December and March, hoatzins fly about the forest in groups of 20 to 30 birds, but in April, when the rainy season begins, they collect together in smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes.( )28. Unlike their parents, baby hoatzins . A. look like young cuckoos B. eat a lot like a cowC. have claws on the wings D. live on river banks( )29. What can we infer(推斷)about primitive birds from the text? A. They had four wings like hoatzins. B. They had claws to help them climb. C. They could fly long distances. D. They had a head with long feathers on the top.( )30. Why do hoatzins collect together in smaller groups when the rainy season comes? A. To find more food. B. To protect themselves better. C. To keep themselves warm. D. To produce their young.C Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation(代)? UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much mere complex(復(fù)雜的)than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation(合作)and support, passing around necessary nutrition(營養(yǎng))depending on who needs it. Nutrition is shared through miles of underground fungi(真菌)networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological(生態(tài))system give and receive the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons(神經(jīng)元)in our head, and when one tree is cut down, it influences the whole forest.Simard talks about mother trees，usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals(礦物質(zhì))to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down“mother trees”without noticing these highly cotiiplex tree societies or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing they chances of survival for the forest. We didnt take any notice of it. Simard says sadly. Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance. If we could put across the message to the forestry industry，we could make a huge difference to our environmental protection efforts for the future.( )31.Mother trees are extremely important because they . A. look the largest in size in the forest B. pass on nutrition to young trees C. seem more likely to be cut down by humans D. know more about the complex tree societies( )32. The underlined word it in the last paragraph refers to . A. how tree societies work B. how trees grow old C. how the forestry industry develops D. how young trees survive( )33. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Old Trees Communicate Like Humans B. Young Trees Are In Need Of Protection C. Trees Are Useful to Our Society D. Trees Are More Admirable Than You ThinkD One weekend in May 2015，over 48 centimeters of rain fell in Houston, Texas，USA. Soon the city was covered with water. The rising water rushed into the cars on the roads. There were 16 deaths that weekend.Changing Weather The weather is changing. Over the last few years, heavy rains have caused floods in Brazil, Pakistan, and Thailand. Droughts(干旱)have struck Russia and Australia. Heat waves have killed thousands of people in Europe. There are more different kinds of terrible wild weather all over the world. In 2011 alone, the bad weather caused the world to lose 150 billion dollars.Warmer and Wetter As more wild weather events happen, the world is beginning to ask questions like: What is going on with the weather? And why? Many also want to know: Is this natural, or are we to blame(承擔(dān)責(zé)任)? The answer seems to be: a little of both. Wild weather is natural. This global(全球的)warming makes heat waves more likely happen. The higher temperatures also cause more water to enter the air. This causes much more rain. Some scientists also believe global warming makes some storms stronger. This means were likely to see more wild weather. But we dont have to just stand there and take it， says Scientist Michael Oppenheimer. He and other scientists say we need to stop the Earth from getting warmer. We also need to be prepared, to do things that will help save lives.( )34. What is the purpose of the second paragraph? A. To give examples of wild weather events. B. To guess how the weather will change. C. To explain why the weather is changing. D. To describe the weather events in 2011.( )35. Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph 4? A. And wild weather happens more often. B. And nature also influences human activity. C. But humans have already paid enough attention to the wild weather. D. But most scientists agree that human activity has made the Earth warmer.( )36. Which of the following would Oppenheimer probably agree with? A. It is too late to stop global warming. B. Humans have nothing to do with global warming. C. The weather will get better if we can stop global warming. D. To find ways to keep our things safe is the most important.( )37. What is the main idea of the passage? A. In May 2015，there was a deadly flood in Houston, Texas, USA. B. There are more kinds of terrible wild weather all over the world. C. Many scientists believe global warming makes some storms stronger. D. Global warming causes wild weather events and that makes people worried.四、詞匯檢測(共10小題;每小題1分，滿分10分) 根據(jù)下列句子及所給漢語注釋或通過上下文，寫出空缺處各單詞的正確形式。每空只寫 一詞。38.

It may come as a surprise to learn that she neither shopped at a mall nor ate at a wonderful restaurant. She climbed a mountain. For eight days in May, Minnal hiked nearly 100 kilometres to reach the 5364-metre-high Everest(珠穆朗瑪峰)base camp in Nepal. The girl talked about her special trip, I thought this was the most meaningful trip for me. It has nor been confirmed if the Primary Four pupil is indeed the youngest Singaporean to reach the base camp, as no such records are kept. Everests south base camp in Nepal is where climbers planning to climb the worlds highest peak, stay to get used to the altitude(海拔高度).However, it will be some years before Minnal can actually climb the Everest as climbers have to be at least sixteen to climb the peak. How did it all start? It all began last year when Minnals mother decided she might want to climb the famous Himalayas. As a good hiker, she asked both father and daughter iI they were up for the challenge. This year, on 20 May, the family flew to Nepal.Minnal shared that most of the eight days were spent hiking ten to fifteen kilometres from 8 a. m. to 6 p. m. each day, with the help of three local guides. Luckily, she added，nobody fell ill with altitude sickness. She also said that she is thinking of climbing Everest in the future.53. Whats the height of the Everest base camp? 54. How long does Minnal actually have to wait to climb the Everests peak? 55. Do you think its a meaningful experience for Minnal ? How will you describe Minnal? 七、書面表達(dá)(共1題;滿分20分) 最近，警察廳對2016年的交通事故作
