28、s later the barrier now closes five or six times a year and according to Environment Agency predictions, by 2050 the barrier will be closed on almost every tide if the problem is not solved.There are 26 underground stations,400 schools,16 hospitals，an airport and 80 billion worth of property (财产) in

29、 Londons flood risk area, so large scale flooding would be disastrous.ParisOver a sixweek period in July and August 2003, more than 11,400mainly elderly peopledied in France from dehydration (脱水) and extremely high body temperature in a deadly heat wave.Heat waves of similar intensity (强度) are expec

30、ted every seven years by 2050, so what can be done to make sure such a disaster does not happen again?One solution is to have airconditioners installed (安装) in elderly care homes.

31、排放)In Paris the local authorities are encouraging architects to design new types of buildings such as the building “Flower Tower”， which uses a covering of bamboo to act as a natural airconditioner.ShanghaiShanghai is the fastest growing city on the Earth.

40、e students have experienced some kind of grammarbased English teaching in their own country.To use the same method would be selfdefeating because it might reduce motivation，especially if it has failed in the past.Therefore a different method may help because it is different.Variety of activity was a

Follow me please; Id like to show you a very special small shark commonly known as horn sharks, only found in the coastal waters of northwest North America.Look at this shark, and you can easily see the horns on it and you will know the reason why it is called the horn

47、shark is that it has the broad, flattened head and two large hornlike spines (脊椎) found behind its eyes and make it one of the hardiest of all shark species. What makes it unique is that as its enemy attempts to swallow it, the spines on its back will stick into the enemys mouth and give a good chan

48、ce for it to get away.The horn shark is brown in color with black spots all over its body. The adults can reach up to a length of 4 feet and weigh up to 10 kg.

51、izeBits large eyesCits two large spinesDits brown color with spots答案：C解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段可知，它之所以被称作角鲨，是因为它有两个角状的脊椎在眼睛的后面。故C项正确。33How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?ABy giving descriptions.BBy following time order.CBy analyzing causes.DBy making comparisons.答案：A解析：逻辑结构题。本题主要考查对段落结构的理解能力。文章第三段采用的是描述方法。先

53、tle is known about its population off the Californian coast和The horn shark is being threatened both by water pollution and commercial fishing in the area.可知D项正确。的表述均与文章不符，不是为了“捕它们做宠物”，也不是为了“娱乐”，而是出于商业目的。35According to the passage, all of the following are unique to the horn shark EXCEPT that _.Ait d

54、oesnt travel farBit is good at swimmingCits spines can be used to attack the enemy and escapeDit is only found in the coastal waters of northwest North America答案：B解析：推理判断题。题干的意思“根据文章，下面哪个不是角鲨的特性”，B项“善于游泳”不是特性，我们从常识的角度也可以进行判断。其他鲨鱼也是善于游泳的，其他三项在文中均有表述，为角鲨的特性。故B项正确。第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选
