17、indness. However, considering my situation, I had no other choice but to 44 him. I walked behind him and passed through a narrow, dark side street.

31、CYou should never judge a book by its cover.DA noble heart is seen in its response to the unattractive.BCould cities that float (漂浮) on the sea solve the problems caused by floods and provide food for the world?Some scientists think so. The idea is already being tested and they believe that floating

32、 citied will provide more homes for a growing population, without having to use land needed to grow food. And they believe floating areas will allow more food to be grown, so that no one in the world is hungry.In some places, cities that float on the sea are already being planned, A company in the N

33、etherlands called DeltaSync thinks that sea cities will save the world, with more than one in ten people living in them.They say sea cities solve many of the problems the world faces in the 21st century, like not having enough land , more and more people needing homes, fossil fuels (矿物燃料) running lo

34、w and the increasingly serious problems caused by floods.DeltaSync says building in the desert (沙漠) is not possible because there is no enough water and that developing ways for people to live in space is still too expensive. So they believe the answer is our oceans, which cover over two thirds of t

35、he Earths surface. Their plans for floating areas include using algae (海藻) to produce fuel and food. More than a quarter of the land in the Netherlands already lies underwater and scientists there have spent years trying to find ways to deal with it. In the city of Rotterdam they already have floati

36、ng homes.Bart Roeffen from DeltaSync says: “We have plans for neighbourhoods including roads and, in the end, I believe we can build floating cities on the sea.”55DeltaSync is a company that wants to build cities _Aon land Bin space Con the sea Din the desert56Which of the following is the advantage

38、n about them.DHe has no idea about them.58What is the best title for the text?AWill there be enough water? BWill sea cities save the world?CIs it possible to live in the desert? DIs it expensive to build floating cities?CTo face the musicLike every language, American English is full of special expre

39、ssions, phrases that come from the day-to-day life of the people and develop in their own way. Our expression today is “to face the music.”When someone says, “Well, I guess Ill have to face the music,” it does not mean hes planning to go to the concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being

40、called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you didnt do this or that. Sour music indeed, but it has to be faced. At sometime or another, every one of us has had to face the music, especially as children. We can all remember fathers angry voice, “I want to talk to you!”

41、and only because we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was!The phrase “to face the music” is familiar to every American, young and old. It is at least 100 years old. And where did this expression come from? The first explanation comes from the American novelist, James Fenimore Looper.

42、He said, in 1851, that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on the stage. When they got their cue (提示) to go on, they often said, “Well, its time to face the music.” And that is exactly what they did-facing the orchestra which was just below them. And an actor mig

43、ht be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of an audience that might be friendly or perhaps hostile, especially if he forgot his lines (台词). But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So the expression “to face the music” came to mean “having to go through som

44、ething, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice.”Other explanations about the expression go back to the army. When the men faced inspection by their leader, the soldiers would be worried about how well they looked. Was their equipment clean, shinny enough

45、 to pass inspection? Still the men had to go out and face the music of the band as well as the inspection. What else could they do? Another army explanation is more closely related to the idea of facing the results and accepting the responsibility for something that should not have been done. As for

46、 example, when a man is forced out of the army because he did something terrible, he is dishonored. The band does not play. Only the drums tap a sad, slow beat. The soldier is forced to leave, facing such music as it is and facing the back of his horse.59How many explanations are mentioned about the

47、 phrase “to face the music” in the passage?A1.B2.C3.D4.60What does the phrase “to face the music” really mean? ATo face the stage.BTo face the back of the horse. CTo face ones leader or father.DTo face something far less pleasant.61Which of the following occasions is the one we may have to face the

48、music?AWhen we are playing basketball in the playground. BWhen we are making a speech before a lot of people.CWhen we are having a party at ease with our teachers. DWhen we are talking with somebody in secret.62The underlined word “hostile” in the third paragraph means _. AunfriendlyBdislikeCunkindD

49、unnecessaryDOne might expect that the ever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the countries that receive the holiday-makers. Indeed, a rosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere.

50、And every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the “last paradise (天堂) on earth”.However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of seaside holidays, over-cro

51、wded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal.Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. In recent years, Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education. Its forests, full of wildlife and rare f

52、lowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise. In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday-makers traveling through the forest land. Ancient tracks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation (开发) ofprecious trees and plants.N

53、ot only can the environment of a country suffer from the sudden growth of tourism. The people as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports; the old way of life goes. The one-time farmer is now the servant of some multi-national organization; he is no longer his

54、 own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited. No doubt he wonders whether he wasnt happier in his village working his own land. 新-课 -标-第 -一-网Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receiv

55、e its customers. The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support from tourist companies. At the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people.The

56、way tourism is handled (处理) in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. Their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies. Increased understanding in planning worldwide tourism can preserve (保护) the market for these compani

57、es. If not, in a few years time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed.63What does the author actually mean in the last sentence of Paragraph 1?AThe Pacific island is a paradise.BThe Pacific island is worth visiting.CThe advertisement is not persuasiveDThe advertiseme

58、nt is not impressive.64The example of Nepal is used to suggest _.Aits natural resources are untouchedBits forests are exploited for farmlandCit develops well in health and educationDit suffers from the heavy flow of tourists65Which of the following determines the future of tourism?AThe number of tou

59、rists.BThe improvement of services.CThe promotion of new products.DThe management of tourism.66The authors attitude towards the development of the tourist industry is _.AoptimisticBobjectiveCdoubtfulDnegativeEPicky eaters may have good reasons for their behaviour. No matter why your child has become

60、 picky, how you handle the situation can affect his or her future. Therefore, you should know the following reasons for picky children first of all.Neophobia is common in children; it often happens at the dinner table. Some children just refuse to try new food because they dont know what it will tas

61、te like, while others dislike new food before even smelling it. Some children take it to the extreme(极端) and will only eat a few foods that they like. Psychologist Dr. Elizabeth Capaldi says that, by the time children reach the age of two, they have formed their own eating habits that they dont want

62、 to be disturbed by new offerings at the table.A newly published study led by Dr. Lucy Cooke of University College London showed that picky eating in children results from genetic(遗传的) and environmental causes. The research, which followed the eating habits of 5,390 pairs of twins between the ages o

63、f 8 and 11, found that about 75% of the neophobia in the children was from their parents, while 25% was due to the influence of environment.Children grow at a high speed during their first year, but that fast-paced growth tends to slow down by their second year. When children are not experiencing on

64、e of those fast growth periods, their body needs less energy; and that results in a smaller appetite(胃口). When children are not hungry, they tend to enjoy only food they like. They refuse new food and food that is not their favourite. Some children will limit the amount of food to only one kind, lik

65、e hamburgers or pancakes, leaving all the other foods untouched.In some cases, many real reasons why a child behaves as a picky eater exist. About 5% of children who are 10 years of age or younger have some type of neurological dysfunction(神经机能障碍) that influences their eating habits. These children

66、may be easily hurt by some special smells, or their brain may not be able to process such sensory information properly.67The underlined word “Neophobia”in Paragraph 2 probably means_.Athe fear of something new or unknownBthe worry about the amount of new foodCthe feeling of eating at the dinner tabl

67、eDthe fear of eating tasty food68What can we learn about the study led by Dr. Cooke?AIt paid more attention to the environmental effects on childrens eating habits.BIt followed the eating habits of 5,390 children aged between 8 and 11.CIt showed that genetics greatly affect childrens eating habits.D

68、It suggested that parents should have good eating habits.69The fourth paragraph mainly tells us that_.Achildrens growth speed stays the same in the first two yearsBchildren develop their own diet when they grow upCchildren tends to eat less when they grow upDchildrens growth has an effect on their d
