It is the story of a young boy named Pi who spends 227 days at sea with a small group

12、 of animals after disaster strikes their ship and is an account of his journey of survival and hardship.Piscine (“Pi” is short for Piscine) Molitor Patel, on whom Life of Pi is based, is a young boy living in Pondicherry, India, where his father owns a zoo. The story starts when Patels family decide

13、 to move to Canada, along with their zoo animals for their new home.However, because of the bad weather, the ship sinks. Pi, an orangutan(猩猩), an injured zebra, a hyena(鬣狗) and a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker are the only survivors who take shelter in a small lifeboat. Both the injured zebra and

14、 the orangutan are soon killed and eaten by the hyena. The tiger in turn kills and eats the hyena, leaving just the two of them alone on the boat now.In an effort to avoid being eaten by Richard Parker, Pi acts himself as the head of the group and remains safe from harm. Since he does not want the t

15、iger to die for fear of going mad by being alone on the boat, he fishes and feeds the two of them in order to stay alive.The life of Pi then enters its third stage when their lifeboat washes up on the shores of Mexico and the tiger escapes into a nearby forest leaving Pi alone. After the Mexicans re

16、fuse to believe Pis story, he changes his story by replacing the animals with his mother, a cook and a sailor and asks the Mexicans which one they prefer.

19、 first, when a storm is coming? Perhaps, leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety! But there are a few people who will get into cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement

20、 of watching the storm close up.“Storm chasing(追逐)” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby, especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drive

21、s up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.Although anyone can do it, storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving

22、 in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm seasons.Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement. “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “Sometimes you

23、can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,” says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example

24、 of the power of nature. It is the greatest show on Earth.” 25. For storm chasing, storm chasers should first _.A. stay patiently for the storm to develop B. collect information for a coming stormC. drive straight to the center of the stormD. find shelters to hide themselves at once26.

26、w on EarthC. storm chasing is worth hours of waitingD. the best view deserves your being brave28. What can we learn from the text?A. Storm chasing is just a game fit for young people.B. Some storm chasers were killed during the storms.C. Sometimes storm chasers just feel a bit disappointed.D. Storm

27、chasing is becoming popular around the world.CEdmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago. Some scientists had already observed comets then, and Halley studied them carefully. The orbit(轨道) of one special comet was a very hard mathematical(数学的) problem. He couldnt work it out

28、. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.However, Halley had a friend named Newton, who was an excellent mathematician. Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had t

29、he shape of an ellipse (椭圆).Now Halley set to work. He worked out the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607, and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 year

30、s apart.This seemed very strange to Halley. The different comets followed the same orbit. The more Halley thought about it, the more he thought that there had not been three different comets, as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times. The comet had gone away

31、and had come back again.It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction of what comet would happen in the future. He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before Halleys prediction could be tested. In 1758 the comet appeared in t

32、he sky. Halley did not see it, for he has died some years before. Ever since then that comet has been called Halleys comet, in his honor. 29. Halley made his discovery _.A. by using the work of other scientists B. through his own careful observationC. by doing some experiments secretly D. by figurin

33、g out some hard problems 30. Halley made an amazing, but right prediction in _.A. 1607 B. 1682 C. 1705 D. 181131. This passage in general is about _.A. Halley and other scientists B. the orbit of a cometC. Newton and Halley D. Halley and his discovery32. Which of the following is TRUE?A. The orbit o

34、f a comet was a round shape.B. Halley did not live up to the year 1758.C. Halley was an Australian mathematician.D. Halley worked out the comets orbit first.DThere are many gardening tips. Some suggest playing music for your house plants, having conversations with them, or even giving them a gentle

35、touch now and then. Most of these practices are probably more for the benefit of the gardener than the garden, and generally harmless enough but except the last one. Your plants really dislike it when you touch them.A new study out of the La Trobe Institute for Agriculture and Food has found that mo

36、st plants are extremely sensitive to touch, and even a light touch can seriously affect their growth. “The lightest touch from a human, animal, insect, or even plants touching each other in the wind, can make a huge gene(基因) response in the plant,” Jim Whelan, who led the new study, said. “Within 30

37、 minutes of being touched, 10% of the plants genome(基因组) is changed. This causes a huge loss of energy which is taken away from plant growth. If the touching is repeated, then plant growth is reduced by up to 30%.”Whelan and his team are still trying to find out why plants respond, at the genetic le

38、vel, so strongly. They do have some theories, however. We know that when an insect lands on a plant, genes are awakened preparing the plant to defend itself against being eaten ,” said Dr. Yan Wang, co-author of the study.Until more research is done, its just a guess at this point. Still, the findin

39、gs might already lead to new methods for how agriculturalists deal with their crops to best promote(促进) healthier growth.Its worth noticing that while the study found that plants often respond to just a single touch in negative ways, its really repeated touching that causes lasting unhealthy growth.

40、 Thats because the plants are looking for styles in the touching, to tell harmful touch from random touch. So it doesnt matter if you accidently brush up against a bush during a walk through the woods.33.How is the passage mainly developed?A. By giving examples B. By comparing and describing C. By l

41、isting numbers D. By showing results of studies34.Why can touching prevent a plant growing according to the study?A. It leads to the plants energy waste.B. It makes the plant sensitive to dangers.C. It causes a genetic disorder in the plant.D. It prevents the plant receiving sunlight.35. What is the

42、 passage mainly about?A. Something is done to help plants grow.B. Plants genome can be changed easily.C. Plants dont really like to be touched.D. What we do every day may destroy plants. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。Maybe you are an average(普通的) student. 36. This is

43、not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Heres how:Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First, time for eating, sleeping,

A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area.

45、ly a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials(材料). No games, radios, or television.

If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and youll remember it longer.Develop a g

47、ood attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge.
