They have stood for nearly 5, 000 years, and it seems likely that they will

2、 continue to stand for thousands of years yet. There are over eighty of them scattered (散布) along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. The most famous of these are the “Step” pyramid and the “Bent” pyramid. Some of the pyramids still look as much alike

3、as they must have been when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or，more often, for stones to use in modern buildings. The dry climate of Egypt has helped to keep the pyramids in good condition，an

4、d their very shape has made them less likely to fall into ruin. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever. The “Step” pyramid had to be on the west side of the Nile, the side on which the sun sets. This was for s

5、piritual reasons. It also had to stand well above the level of the river to protect it against the regular floods. It could not be too far from the Nile, however, as the stones to build it needed to be carried in boats down the river to the nearest point. Water transport was, of course, much easier

6、than land transport. The builders also had to find a rock base, which was not likely to crack (破裂) under the great weight of the pyramid. Finally, it had to be near the capital，or better still near the kings palace so that he could visit it easily to personally check the progress being made on the f

7、inal resting place for his body. 语篇解读：本文主要介绍了埃及的金字塔能保存长久的原因及其中被称为Step的金字塔建立在尼罗河西侧的原因。21According to the passage，the “Step” pyramid_.Ais unlikely to fall into ruin in the near futureBwas built on the sand along the NileCis one that was built later than the true pyramidsDis the most famous of the true

8、 pyramids答案：A细节理解题。由文章第二段“The dry climate of Egypt has helped to keep the pyramids in good condition. and their very shape has made them less likely to fall into ruin.”及第三段“The builders also had to find a rock base, which was not likely to crack under the great weight of the pyramid. ”可知，埃及干燥的气候使得金字

9、塔保存完好，金字塔的外形使得它们不大可能坍塌。22The most important reason why some pyramids remain in good condition is that _.Apeople have taken good care of themBit doesnt rain often in EgyptCthey were well designedDthe government has protected them from damage答案：C细节理解题。由文章第二段“These are good reasons why they can still b

11、st of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stones to use in modern buildings.”可知，对金字塔的损坏大多数来自搜寻珠宝，或更多的是寻找建筑材料的人们之手。24The Egyptians built the pyramids along the banks of the Nile because_.Athey believed in their godBit was di

When I take English exams, I cant finish reading the English passages within the given time, but my classmates can. How ca

14、n I improve my reading speed?Thanks ! RejoyHello, my friend，Increasing your speed in reading has both good and bad parts. You can increase your reading speed, but your understanding and comprehension may go down. So you have to be careful to increase your speed in reading. You should make sure you a

15、re understanding everything you read, or it wont be beneficial to increasing your reading.As with every good thing, it takes time. The best way to increase reading speed is to practice. Just like anything else we do over and over again, we will get better at it.So practice reading, practice concentr

And slowly you will begin to read faster and faster. Imagine that you are running a foot race. Will you run very fast the first time and win? Of course n

What if I told you that I wanted to learn to speak, write and read Chinese by next week? You would think that I am crazy. Do you agree?So practice re

19、y答案：A细节理解题。由“practice concentrating on what you are reading so that you dont have to go back and read the same paragraph over again.”可知，阅读时应当保持专注，故A项正确。26What is the most important thing when we read according to Dave?ASpeed. BVocabulary.CComprehension. DCulture background.答案：C推理判断题。Dave在回信的第一段最后You

21、ans do.答案：C推理判断题。从回信的第二段开始，Dave就在围绕“The best way to increase reading speed is to practice”这一主题思想展开陈述，因此可知C项为最佳答案。CWith only about 1, 000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone the animal and save the endangered species. Thats a move similar to what a Texas A & M University re

22、searchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noahs Ark”Noahs Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos (胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & M

23、s College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds, reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years.The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becomin

24、g extinct in the next 25 years.This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.The entire procedure could take from three to five years to

25、complete.“The nuclear transfer (核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available (capable of being used) panda eggs could be a major problem，” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). It takes a long

26、time and its difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort，” adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A& M, the firstever attempt at cloning a dog.“They are trying to do someth

27、ing thats never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noahs Ark. Were both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and theres a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. Its a research that is very much needed.”28The aim of “Noahs Ark

28、” project is to _.Amake efforts to clone the endangered pandasBsave endangered animals from dying outCcollect DNA of endangered animals to studyDtransfer the nuclear of one animal to another答案：B细节理解题。从第二段内容可知，“诺亚方舟”工程的目标是把濒临灭绝的动物的蛋(卵)、胚胎、精液和DNA储存在液体氮中，如果某一种动物濒临灭绝时，将来可以重现这一动物。29According to Professor

29、 Kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of _.Aavailable panda eggsBhost animalsCqualified researchersDenough money答案：A细节理解题。从第六段第一句话“The nuclear transfer(核子移植)of one species to another is not easy，and the lack of available(capable of being used)panda eggs could be a major pro

30、blem”可知。30The best title for the passage may be_.AChinas Success in Pandas CloningBThe First Cloned Panda in the WorldCExploring the Possibility to Clone PandasDChinathe Native Place of Pandas Forever答案：C主旨大意题。从文章内容来看，无论是中国还是世界克隆熊猫还没有成功，所以排除A、B项；D项内容明显与文章内容不符，故排除。所以“探索克隆熊猫的可能性”应该是这篇文章的标题。31From the

31、passage we know that_.AKraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dogBscientists try to implant a pandas egg into a rabbitCKraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researchesDabout two thousand of species will probably die out in a century答案：D推理判断题。此题B项的干扰性较强，但由于它没有说明是Chinese scienti

32、sts，所以应排除。A、C项明显与原文不符。根据文章第三段第一句可知答案为D项。DOnce there was a young woman who didnt like her job. Every day when she came home from work, she told her husband how terrible her day had been, how tiring the work and how unreasonable her boss. “Leave that job，” her husband told her.“Oh, I will，” she said.

33、“But not yet. I have too many friends there for me to leave.” And so she remained unhappy at work until the years became decades and her children had children. “Leave that job，” her grandchildren told her. “Oh, I will，” she said. “But not yet. There are only seven more years until I reach thirty yea

34、rs of service and can retire. So I can t just yet.”I know this woman. And her story reminds me of an old dog half asleep on the porch of a general store, moaning and groaning in the sun. “Why is your dog acting that way？” a customer asked the store owner. “Oh，” answered the man. “He s lying on a nai

35、l.” “Well, why doesn t he move？” “Because its not hurting him bad enough.”That s true for people, too. We convince ourselves the pain is not bad enough to leave the workplace we know. But we re wrong. Prolonged work pain is continuing. Some work pain damages our selfesteem, kills our passion or dest

36、roys our dreams.Wilbur Wright once commented, “We could hardly wait to get up in the morning. I know that exhilarating feeling of being so passionate about something I was working on that I couldnt wait to get back to work. And people who are winning at work know that kind of passion, too.”They get

37、excited about work. They offer their unique gifts and talents eagerly. And when things dont change as they sometimes will, they refuse to let environment hijack their selfesteem, passion or dreams.32The woman complained to her husband every day because_.Ashe didn t have enough money to support her f

38、amilyBher boss criticized her for what she had doneCshe was not satisfied with her job at allDher work was difficult and her boss was cruel答案：C细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Every day when she came home from work, she told her husband how terrible her day had been, how tiring the work and how unreasonable her boss.”

39、可知，她对自己的工作很不满意。33From the first and second paragraphs we can know that the woman_.Aliked making friends with othersBloved all her children very muchCleft her tiring job at lastDdid exactly the same job all along答案：D推理判断题。根据第一段的内容以及第二段中的“. until the years became decades. There are only seven more yea

40、rs until I reach thirty years of service and can retire. So I cant just yet.”可以推知，她一直没有换工作。34The author mentioned an old dog in order to tell us that _.Ait was deeply hurt by its ownerBthe woman is like the dog on the nailCit is tied firmly to a nail by its ownerDit should be injured badly enough答案：

41、B推理判断题。根据文意及第三段中对狗的情况的描述可知，文中提到的这位年轻女士和这里描述的狗的情况是一样的，由此推知B项为正确答案。35The underlined word“Prolonged”(in Paragraph 4) means“_”AlastingBslightCseriousDhard答案：A词义猜测题。根据上下文的意思可知，该词的意思是“持久的”。第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从对话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。Expressions about water are almost as common as water.

42、 _36_The expression “to be in hot water” is one of them. It is a very old expression. “Hot water” was used five hundred years ago to mean being in trouble.

45、oes not hold water，_39_“Throwing cold water” also is an expression that deals with ideas or proposals._40_ For example, you want to buy a new car because the old one has some problems. But your wife “throws cold water” on the idea, because she says a new car costs too much.ABut many of the expressio

66、语动词。主语是green tea，与动词compare之间是被动关系，此处非谓语动词短语表示方式或条件。69least考查形容词最高级。与咖啡和乌龙茶相比可知，绿茶中含的咖啡因是最少的。70while考查关系连词。while作连词讲时还有表示转折的意思，表示与前面提到的内容形成对比。第四部分写作(共两节，满分35分)第一节短文改错(共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分)假如英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌的以下作文。文中共有10处错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏词符号()，并在此符号下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线()划掉
