Yet without it we could not survive more than a few minutes. For the most part, the same air is

12、available to everyone, and everyone needs it Some people use the air to live on while they sit around and fed sorry for themselves. Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a magnificent Jife for themselves.Opportunity is the same way. It is everywhere. Opportunity is so free

13、ly available that we take it for granted. Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create success. Opportunity must be seized and acted upon in order to have value. So many people are so anxious to “get in” on a “ground floor opportunity”, as if the opportunity will do all the work. That is impossible

14、.Just as you need air to breathe, you need opportunity to make it. It takes more than just breathing in the fresh air of opportunity, however. You must make use of that opportunity. That is not up to the opportunity. That is up to you. It doesnt matter what “floor” the opportunity is on. What matter

15、s is what you do with it.1、What is the purpose of the first paragraph?AIntroduce the topic of the passage.BCompare air to opportunity.CPresent the relationship between human and air.DTo show the importance of air.2、Which of the following may be used as the tittle of the passage?AAir and Opportunity

A full 97 percent, yes, almost all kinds of saltwater fish cant be bred in captivity (人工養(yǎng)殖). They must instead be taken from the ocean. And how is that done?Most

18、of the time, with sodium cyanide, it is a harmful chemical compound that many fish collectors in the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia use to catch fish. They mix it with water and use it on the fish. Stunned, the fish can then be easily caught.What does cyanide do to the fish? There is a scient

19、ific study on cyanides effects. When there is cyanide in water, fish lose their balance and have difficulty breathing. Some fish simply die then and there. Many, many more die on the way to captivity.Although cyanide fishing in the Philippines, Sir Lanka, and Indonesia is not allowed, it sill happen

20、s too often. According to the World wildlife Fund, up to 90 percent of the saltwater fish that enter the US each year are caught this way. The Center for Biological Diversity is calling on the US government to avoid these imports.“Compared to many environmental problems now facing the worlds oceans,

21、 this is one that can easily be solved,” said Nicholas Whipps of the Center. “Because the US is such a powerful market player in this industry, the responsibility to stop this practice falls largely on the United State shoulders.”In the Philippines, private planes bring in cyanide to the fisherman a

22、nd then take away the live fish. Live fish give the fisherman a better life than dead ones, so more and more fishermen have turned from supplying the fish-for-food trade to the fish-for-aquariums trade.The Center for Biological Diversity hopes the government will use the law to turn away cyanide-cau

26、t cooling may occur in areas where burnt trees allow more snow to mirror more sunlight into space.This finding suggests that taking steps to prevent northern forest to limit the release of greenhouse gases may warm the climate in northern regions. Usually large fires destroyed forests in these areas

27、 over the past decade. Scientists predict that with climate warming, fires may occur more frequently over next several centuries as a result of a longer fire season. Sunlight taken in by the earth tends to cause warming, while heat mirrored back into space tends to cause cooling.This is the first st

28、udy to analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate. Earlier studies by other scientists have suggested that fire in northern regions speed up climate warming because greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants are released into the atmosphere and thus trap heat.Scientists found th

29、at right after the fire, large amounts of greenhouse gases entered the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozone（臭氧）levels increased, and ash from the fire fell on far-off sea ice, darkening the surface and causing more radiation from the sun to be taken in. The following spring, however, the land within

30、 the area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, because fewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mirrored more sunlight back into space, leading to cooling.“We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.” Scientists tracked the ch

31、ange in amount of radiation entering and leaving the climate system as a result of the fire, and found a measurement closely related to the global air temperature. Typically, fire in northern regions occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years. Scientists, however, found that when fire occurs more

32、 frequently, more radiation is lost from the earth and cooling results. Specifically, they determined when fire returns 20 years earlier than predicated, 0.5 watts per square meter of area burned are soaked up by the earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per square meter will be sent back into

33、space. The net effect is cooling. Watts are used to measure the rate at which energy is gained or lost from the earth.1、According to the new findings, taking steps to prevent northern forest fires may _.Aresult in a warming climateBcause the forest fires to occur more frequentlyClead to a longer fir

34、e seasonDprotect the forests and the environment there2、The following are all the immediate effects after a forest fire EXCEPT _.Alarge amounts of greenhouse gases enter the atmosphereBthe levels of ozone which is a type of oxygen increaseCsnow on the ground mirrors more sunlight back into spaceDash

35、es from the fire fall on the ice surface and take in more radiation from the sun3、Earlier studies about northern forest fires _.Aanalyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climateBindicate that forest fires will pollute the atmosphereCsuggest that people should take measures to protect the

36、environmentDsuggest that the fires will speed up climate warming4、The underlined phrase “soak up” in the last paragraph most probably means _.AreleasedBabsorbedCcreatedDdistributed5、From the passage we can draw a conclusion that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia may _.Awarm the climate as t

38、o Melbourne. Planners, politicians and media keep showing off their benefits: reducing pollution, congestion, travel costs and oil dependence, while improving public health. Bike sharing also helps make cities appear modern, dynamic and world-widequalities much sought after by the creative class.But

39、 what makes for a successful public bike-sharing program? This is an important question because installing one requires significant public and private investment and adjustment to the built environment.While many programs have been launched among much praise, often their popularity has soon declined

40、. Many end up operating at a financial loss and depend on other profitable enterprises to cross-subsidize(交叉補貼) them. Some have resulted in thrown-away bikes becoming an eyesore.Understanding which factors enhance or stop public bike sharing is critical in helping cities decide whether such a progra

41、m is workable, before considering what design and sitting will work best.Drawing on current knowledge, we discuss the importance of the local landscape, climate, cycling infrastructure (基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施) and land use. We also touch on other factors, such as the legal environment and the characteristics of the b

42、ike-sharing program itself.Take natural environment for example. Two natural environment factors are known to affect participation: hilliness and weather. Hilliness discourages balanced bike-sharing use, as users avoid returning bicycles to stations on hilltops. Those stations end up being empty, wh

43、ile stations on flat areas are often full, so users cannot find a station to return their bikes.As for weather, ideal temperature ranges vary by the climate zone. Case studies show warm and dry weather encourages public bike-sharing use. Rain and strong wind reduce the frequency of trips. However, s

44、ome approaches, such as providing sheltered, shaded, or even heated or cooled cycling infrastructure, could prove useful.1、What can we infer about bike sharing from Paragraph 1?AIt has no disadvantage. BIt is welcomed worldwide.CIt can solve every problem. DIt is the symbol of modern cities.2、What i

45、s the current situation of bike-sharing programs?AMany of them run at a loss. BMost of them make huge profits.CThey are the most promising business. DTheir development is determined by public investment.3、Why does the author mention the natural environment?ATo show users interest in various natural

46、environment.BTo show the decisive function of natural environment.CTo show the necessity of bike-sharing programs.DTo show the significance of some factors.4、Which of the following might increase bike-sharing use?AHilliness. BAttractive bikes.CRain and strong wind. DPerfect cycling infrastructure.25

47、（10分） “Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton（骨骼）in the closet（衣櫥）?” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully, “Well, its something that you would rather not have anyone else know about.

50、 were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessicas closet. Just as she opened the doo

51、r and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor, Jessicas mother sank into a faint（暈倒）, walking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.“What

52、happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the schools skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica, “ I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked i

53、n amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They are both crazy,” she thought.1、According to Jessicas mother, “a skeleton in the clothes” means _.Aa family honor Ba family secretCa family story Da family treasure2、What can we learn about some Australians ancestors from Paragraph 2?AThey were b

54、rought to Australia as prisoners.BThey were the earliest people living in Australia.CThey were involved in some crimes in Australia.DThey were not regarded as criminals in their days.3、Jessicas mother fell down into a faint _.Abecause she was knocked Bbecause she was frightenedCbecause she was injur
