11、elings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all the others, including Love.One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. So all the feelings prepared their boats to leave.Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve th

12、e island paradise until the last possible moment.When the island was almost totally under, Love decided it was time to leave.She began looking for someone to ask for help. Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked, “Richness, can I come with you on your boat?”Richness answered, “

13、Im sorry, but there is a lot of silver and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere.”Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing by in a beautiful vessel. Love cried out, “Vanity, help me please!” “I cant help you,” Vanity said, “You are all wet and will damage my bea

14、utiful boat.”Next, Love saw Sadness passing by. Love said, “Sadness, please let me go with you.”Sadness answered, “Love, Im sorry, but, I just need to be alone now.”Then, Love saw Happiness. Love cried out, “Happiness, please take me with you.” But Happiness was so overjoyed that he didnt hear Love

15、calling to him.Love began to cry. Then, she heard a voice say, “Come Love, I will take you with me.” It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived on land the elder went on his way. Love realized how much she owed the elder.Love then

16、 found Knowledge and asked, “Who was it that helped me?” “It was Time,” Knowledge answered. “But why did Time help me when no one else would?” Love asked.Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity, answered, “Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is.”21. Who is the el

17、der?A. Knowledge B. Time C. Love D. Happiness22. Which one is both clever and honest?A. Knowledge B. Time C. Love D. Happiness23. Which one is the greatest according to the passage?A. Knowledge B. Time C. Love D. HappinessBOrganic food is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs t

18、wice as much as non-organic food, but new parents and pet owners are willing to pay up to 200% more for organic food. However, there are people who think it is a waste of money.There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as

19、 pesticides (杀虫剂). In many countries organic foods have special labels. These guarantee that the products are natural.Some people think organic means locally grown. Originally this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Sma

20、ll companies had to sell out to large companies. There werent enough organic ingredients (原料), such as grain and cattle. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.Is organic food more nutritious? This is part o

21、f the debate. Many farmers and consumers believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such as cancer. Many health professionals disagree. Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Health specialists worry more about bacteria (病毒), such as E.coli and salm

22、onella. These can get into contact with organic and non- organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully. Handling meat carefully is important too.Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money? This is a matter of opinion. Whether it

23、is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.24 What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers?A. Price. B. Safety. C. Freshness. D. Variety.25. What is the doctors suggestion?A. Grow your own food. B. Reduce the use

24、 of pesticides.C. Make sure the food is clean. D. Buy large companies products.26. Which of the following do most people agree on organic food?A. It tastes better. B. It is easier to grow.C. It contains more fat. D. It is more nutritious.CWhenever she was having a tough day, Selena Berry would look

25、at the sky and imagine herself, flying high in the clouds above her troubled neighborhood and challenging school life. Flying makes you feel big, Betty said. Youre on top of everything. You look down and all you see is the view, the beauty. This summer, Berry and seven other African-American student

26、s in the Chicago area participated in a program to learn how to fly. The program is new and challenging for participants. In the end, successful students will graduate with a private pilots license.The unique program is called Tuskegee Next. It is a special effort to increase the number of African-A

27、mericans who can work as pilots. said Stephen L. Davis, who owns a big company Wheaton , lllinois and founded the organization. The main mission of the group is to help students follow in the footsteps of the countrys first black military pilot Tuskegee. It costs about $25, 000 to take the lessons a

28、nd pay for the flying time. But it is free for these students. Davis donates his own money and raises funds to cover the costs.For much of his early life, Davis wanted to become a pilot. But growing up, he could not afford the expensive schooling. By the time he could afford lessons, he had a wife a

29、nd children and did not want to take the risk. For the students, the benefits of learning to fly are greater than being pilots. When you dont see black pilots, you dont think you can do it, he said. Even if these kids dont become pilots, learning to fly will give them confidence to do other great th

30、ings. Tuskegee Next targets African-American teenagers from rough communities who might never have such a chance. The experience will change their lives and let them see a happy future. Some of the students in the program will receive a small stipend, which makes up for the summer jobs they would ha

31、ve otherwise.All eight of the students have passed the written exam. Now they are spending hours piloting a Cessna airplane with an instructor. Some are already flying the planes alone. On a recent sunny afternoon, 20-year-old Quiana White spent about an hour alone in a Cessna airplane practicing tu

32、rns. This was her first solo flight and her classmates crowded around her after she landed. Youre not the same person once you go up on your own, she said. No matter what happens, I know Im a pilot. 27. Thinking of being in the sky brought Selena Berry_A. some relief from her daily lifeB. some memor

33、ies of her school lifeC. some trouble her neighbors madeD. the beautiful view she saw from the sky28. What can we learn about Tuskegee Next?A. It encourages teenagers to serve in the army.B It aims to find another Tuskegee in the country.C. It helps black teenagers build hope for their future.D. It

34、is a commercial organization founded by Davis.29. What does the underlined word “stipend” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. Chance. B. Fine. C. Job. D. Pay.30.

35、 quotes students who have experienced its positive influence on their lives.C. It quotes family members who have noticed the progress made by their kids.D. It quotes a study that shows the program has positively changed the lives of teenagers.DHow does an ecosystem （生态系统） work? What makes the popula

36、tion of different species the way they are? Why are there so many flies and so few wolves? To find an answer, scientists have built mathematical, models of food webs, noting who eats whom and how much each one eats.With such models, scientists have found out some key principles operating in food web

37、s. Most food webs, for instance, consist of many weak links rather than a few strong ones. When a predator（掠食动物） always eats huge numbers of a single prey（猎物）, the two species are strongly linked；when a predator lives on various species, they are weakly linked. Food webs may be dominated by many wea

38、k links because that arrangement is more stable over the long term. If a predator can eat several species, it can survive the extinction(灭绝)of one of them. And if a predator can move on to another species that is easier to find when a prey species becomes rare, the switch allows to original prey to

39、recover. The weak links may thus keep species from driving one another to extinction.Mathematical models have also revealed that food webs may be unstable, where small changes of top predators can lead to big effects throughout entire ecosystems. In the 1960s, scientists proposed that predators at t

40、he top of a food web had a surprising amount of control over the size of populations of other species-including species they did not directly attack.And unplanned human activities have proved the idea of top-down control by top predators to be true. In the ocean, we fished for top predators such as

41、cod on an industrial scale, while on land, we killed off large predators such as wolves. These actions have greatly affected the ecological balance.Scientists have built an early-warning system based on mathematical models. Ideally, the system would tell us when to adapt human activities that are pu

42、shing an ecosystem toward a breakdown or would even allow us to pull an ecosystem back from the borderline. Prevention is key, scientists say, because once ecosystems pass their tipping point（临界点）, it is remarkably difficult for them to return.31. What have scientists discovered with the help of mat

43、hematical of food webs?A. The living habits of species in food webs.B. The rules governing food webs of the ecosystems.C. The approaches to studying the species in the ecosystems.D. The differences between weak and strong links in food webs.32. A strong link is found between two species when a preda

44、tor_.A. has a wide food choice.B. can easily find new prey.C. sticks to one prey speciesD. can quickly move to another place33. What will happen if the populations of top predators in a food web greatly decline?A. The prey species they directly attack will die out.B. The species they indirectly atta

45、ck will turn into top predators.C. The living environment of other species will remain unchanged.D. The population of other species will experience unexpected changes.34. What conclusion can be drawn from the examples in Paragraph 4?A. Uncontrolled human activities greatly upset ecosystems.B. Rapid

46、economic development threatens animal habitats.C. Species of commercial value dominate other species.D. Industrial activities help keep food webs stable.35. How does an early-warning system help us maintain the ecological balance?A. By getting illegal practices under control.B. By stopping us from k

47、illing large predators.C. By bringing the broken-down ecosystems back to normal.D. By signaling the urgent need for taking preventive action.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Some people are so rude. Who sends an email or a text message that just says “Thank you”？ Wh

48、o leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found on the Internet? _36_Maybe Im the rude one for not appreciating lifes little courtesies (礼节). But many social norms (规范) just dont make sense to people drowning in digital communication.Take the thankyou note. Dani

49、el Post Senning, a coauthor of Emily Posts Etiquette, asked, “At what point does showing appreciation outweigh the cost？”_37_ Think of how long it takes to listen to one of those messages. In texts, you dont have to declare who you are or even say hello. Email, too, is slower than a text. The worst

50、are those who leave a voice mail and then send an email message to tell you they left a voice mail.This isnt the first time technology has changed our manners. _38_ Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor, suggested that people say, “Ahoy！” Finally, hello won out, and the victory sped up the greetings u

52、 respond with a thankyou email.How to handle these differing standards? Easy: Consider your audience. Some people, especially older ones, appreciate a thankyou message. _40_ In traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But in modern societies, the old can also learn from the young. Heres
