We can do a science experiment designed by some kids to show this effect and what is happening to the Earth.First prepare the following items:2 glass containers（容器） that need to be the same size and shape 1 gallon plastic bag 4 cups of very cold water Ice cubes Fill each container with two cups of cold water. Add the same amount of ice cubes to each container. Then put one of the containers in the plastic bag and close it tight. Put both containers in the sun together and keep them there for at least an hour. At the end of one hour remove the container from the plastic bag and immediately check the temperature of the water. After you record this, find out the temperature of the water that is not covered. When you place the containers in direct sunlight, the air inside the bag becomes very warm. The heat filters (滲入) in but cannot escape so it stays in the closed plastic bag and increases the temperature. What if you leave that for two, three or four hours?Think about what is happening to the Earth. There are chemicals that are creating a type of plastic bag around the Earth. It causes our air to get warmer because of the heat from the sun being kept in this closed area. Think about your car in the hot summer. This is what happens when you leave your car outside all day. This greenhouse effect has caused your car to be so hot that you sometimes cannot even touch the steering wheel. This science project goes to show what affects our planet.21. According to the text, the greenhouse effect appears mainly because of _.A. the hot sunlight B. human activitiesC. the plastic bag D. chemicals around the Earth22.

The writer mentions a car on a hot summer day to _.A. tell us about the hot weather in summer B. prove the science project is correctC. tell us how to protect cars during summerD. show the effects of the greenhouse effectB It is obvious that television brings us not only advantages but also disadvantages . At first, television is both a convenient channel of amusement, and a relatively cheap one. If we have a TV set in the family, we are not necessary to go to the cinema or theatre to enjoy programme with expensive tickets. All that they have to do is press a button with a finger, and they can watch all the programmes they like, such as TV talk shows , movies, opera and so on. But some people think of it as a danger. When we watch TV, we dont need to do anything . We do not even have to leave our sofa because we have a remote control in our hand. We dont need to make any judgment or statement about it. We are totally passive and dont use our head to think hard about some matters. As we all know, television keeps us informed about world eventsincluding all the events in society, science and politics .We can get a good idea of the most remote countries and the strangest customs in their country. Of course the radio performs this service this service too, but the effect of the programme is not better than on the television. Everything we enjoy on the television is much more vivid and realistic. However, in turn there is a great danger. Usually we cannot resist the television screen, because it has a great harm for us. We have been so accustomed to enjoying the screen, so dependent on its pictures. But when our TV sets are out of order, we are surprised to find that we have much more time to do things. And at this time we actually begin to have a talk to each other again. It is really worth thinking. Of course the arguments about the advantages and disadvantages of television are on the go. We can not simply say television itself is good or bad. The truth is that how we use it determines its true value to our society.24. What is the main idea of the passage?A.

Because TV has both advantages and disadvantages.27.According to the passage , whether TV is good or not depends on _ .A. its qualityB. peoples attitude towards it C. how we use it D. when we use it C Until she was six, Oprah Winfrey lived on a farm with her grandmother. She remembers, “One day, my grandmother was boiling clothes because at that time we didnt have a washing machine. I was four years old, and I remember thinking, My life wont be like this. It will be better. ” It is better much better. Winfrey is a billionaire, and “the Oprah Winfrey Show”, which is watched by over 20 million people every day, has won many awards.

Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didnt think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull. I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words. It takes confidence to make a new start theres a dark period in-between where youre neither one thing nor the other. Youre out for dinner and people ask what you do, and youre too ashamed to say, “Well, Im writing a novel, but Im not quite sure if Im going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside. Then I met an agent（代理商）who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel. The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for. It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, theres no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract（合同）of the publisher to be a published writer is unbelievably rewarding（有回報(bào)的）.32. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?A. I was waiting for good fortune.B. I was trying to find an admirable job.C. I was being aimless about a suitable job.D. I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.33. The author decided to write a novel _ .A. to finish the writing course B. to realize her own dreamC. to satisfy readers wish D. to earn more money34. How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?A. Disturbed. B. Ashamed. C. Confident. D. Uncertain.35. What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?A. It pays to stick to ones goal.B. Hard work can lead to success.C. She feels like being unexpectedly lucky.D. There is no end in sight when starting to do something.第二節(jié)：選項(xiàng)填空（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。 Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer. _36_ Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger. For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a persons health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷爾蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. _37_ Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. _38_ They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “_39_ Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.” Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. _40_A. In general the person feels excited and ready to actB. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.C. Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing itD. Anger may cause you a cancer.E. Do not express your anger while angry.F. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.G. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.第三部分：英語知識(shí)運(yùn)用（共兩節(jié)，滿分45分）第一節(jié)：完形填空（共20小題，每小題15分，滿分30分）閱讀下面短文。從短文后各題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。The eyes are one of the most expressive of body language.
