30 years ago,I was rocking my baby boy in my arms. 1 My wife was half asleep and half watching TV in the living room.I poured myself a glass of iced tea in the kitchen,and walked into the front yard.

2 On the hill next to our house the neighbor’s children were running after fireflies(萤火虫),hoping to catch one in a jar.I sat down in my chair and watched them for a while.

As fast as they could run,though,they couldn’t seem to catch the slow moving lighting insects.Finally,tired,they sat down in the grass and just watched the little guys flying through the air,flashing their light on and off. 3 It felt so good getting to see one of nature’s many miracles (奇迹)lighting up my front yard on a warm summer night.

Over the years since then I have appreciated and enjoyed all of the wonderful light in this world. 4 I have found it in nature,books,music,animals,prayer,and most of all in the lives of those around me.I have never tried to catch this

light,however.I have learned that true light and true love must come from within. 5

A.Let them remind you to shine your own light as well.

B.When he fell asleep I put him gently down for a good night. C.I have taken it into my heart and welcomed it into my soul. D.I slowly drank my tea and joined them in their appreciation. E.They must flow freely between us and cannot be caught in a jar.

F.The next time you see some fireflies,take a seat and enjoy their light. G.As soon as I stepped onto the yard I heard the sweet sound of laughter.

Long bus rides are like television shows.They have a beginning,a middle,and an end with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. 1 They happen whether you want them or not.Every couple of minutes a billboard passes by outside the bus window.“Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.”“Drink Good Wet Root Beer.” “Fill up with Pacific Gas.” Only if you sleep,which is equal to turning the television off,are you spared the unending cry of “You Need It!Buy It Now!”

The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting,even if you’ve traveled that way before. 2 It is also fun to try to figure out the style of the driver. 3 Will the driver pass the truck in time?Will the driver move into the right,or the left-hand lane?After a while,of course,the excitement dies down.

4 And food makes this part of bus rides more interesting.But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat.Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.

The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning.You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement. 5 By now you’ve sat with your legs crossed,with your hands in your lap,with your hands on the armrests,and even with your hands behind your head.The end comes just at no more ways to sit.

A.Usually some things have changed:new houses,new buildings,sometimes even a new road. B.Each part has its own characteristic. C.The commercials are unavoidable.

D.Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. E.The seat,of course,has become harder as the hours have passed.

F.It is so boring that you need something to refresh you.

G.If the driver is particularly adventurous,the ride can be as thrilling as an exciting story.

On Friday,the Ministry of Education,along with eight other central

departments,published a document on preventing campus violence.The document stresses that if the perpetrators(作恶者) break the law they should be handed over to the police.

1 As early as May,it launched a campaign to deal with the issue. 2 Several cases have even aroused nationwide concern.

The root problem lies in some schools insisting on punishing the perpetrators with campus rules instead of calling the police,even though some incidents have already broken the law and the perpetrators should face legal punishments. 3

The schools do not want the perpetrators to go to court because it may harm their reputations so they prefer to “forget the bad things”. 4 The problem is,the more they try to hide,the bigger their scandal(丑闻)is.

5 When the students who treat their schoolmates violently get extremely light punishments because of their young age,they might commit serious crimes in the future.

Such cases should arouse our concern.It is time to solve the problem of campus violence with rules of law.

A.Yet campus violence is still quite wild.

B.The punishments of the schools are,of course,much lighter than legal punishments. C.Schools must be aware of the consequences of bullying and violent incidents in schools.

D.This is not the first time that the ministry has introduced measures aimed at stopping campus violence.

E.They think that by turning a blind eye to any wrong doing that happens on campus,they can cheat everybody.

F.Worse,by trying to hide the scandal instead of solving it,the schools have actually encouraged campus violence.

G.Students with severe behavioral problems should be transferred to special schools suitable to their needs or receive criminal punishments.

It is important that you teach your baby to read as young as possible.Why?

Because there is simply no better time in a child’s life for learning than when they are between 3 months old and their 5th birthday. 1

As a result,they are sponges(海绵) for knowledge.Moreover,being able to read is the basis for any successful education,so the earlier they start,the better.All too often,parents leave educating their children up to schools,which probably explains why the United States is currently ranked 18th in its rate of reading and writing.

Teaching your baby to read provides brain exercise during the very time when his or her brain is developing.It has also been shown to increase the baby’s IQ.The sooner they begin to read,the sooner they can begin to learn other subjects.This

way,by the time your children begin school,they will have already known what’s being taught,and will be put on the fast track. 2

One of the cases that really began to bring the fact that babies can learn to read to the public’s attention was 17-month-old Elizabeth Barrett. 3

2

She was given a series of words and even sentences that she could read quite

well.Her parents had been reading to her since she was born and had provided her with a very early education.

Reading is the most important thing to teach babies at a young age. 4 Learning can be fun at such an early age,and it can be accomplished so easily that they won’t have to struggle in order to learn.In fact,when you use the proper materials,they will look forward to learning.

If you’re interested in teaching your baby to read,the best way to start is by spending just a few minutes a day. 5

Simply show your baby matching pictures on the opposite side.There are also videos that help to teach babies to read.

There is no better time to teach your baby to read than the present.Begin by looking for learning materials that your baby might enjoy. A.Flash cards are an effective tool. B.She appeared on the Today Show.

C.Maybe they will even skip a grade down the road.

D.During this time,their brains are developing rapidly.

E.What’s more,your child will be able to read so successfully.

F.It doesn’t have to be stressful or difficult for your child though.

G.Parents talk about the pride that their children can read at an early age.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。一个夏夜,作者在院子里看到邻居的孩子们捕捉萤火虫,捕捉失败后开始观赏萤火虫漫天飞舞的美景。作者由此发出感慨:真正的光芒和爱一定来自内心。

1.B 上文提到作者哄孩子睡觉,下文提到作者在厨房给自己倒了一杯冰茶并走进前院。故B项符合语境,he指代上文中的“my baby boy”。

2.G 上一段提到“walked into the front yard”,故G项与之呼应。yard是关键词。 3.D 上文提到孩子们捉不到萤火虫后坐在草地上看着一闪一闪的萤火虫漫天飞舞,下文提到“It felt so good getting to see one of nature’s many miracles (奇迹)lighting up my front yard on a warm summer night.”故空处应是说作者也在观赏萤火虫。D项符合语境。

4.C 通读本段可以发现,下文句式都与该段第一句呼应,故此空处应用现在完成时。且C项中的it指的就是上文中的“all of the wonderful light in this world”。

5.E 空前提到“我学到了真正的光芒和爱一定来自于内心”,故选E项“它们必须在我们中间自由地流淌,而不能被装在罐子里”,即真正的光和爱是自由的、不受束缚的。

B

【语篇导读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲的是坐公交车长途旅行和看电视一样,有开头、中间、结尾三个过程。每个过程都会不同,期间会遇到很多广告。

1.C 该空前后谈到商业广告,不管你喜不喜欢,它都会存在,可知C项“商业广告是不可避免的”符合语境。

2.A 根据语境,乘车的开始阶段是很有趣的,可以观察一些新的改变,可以体验不同司机的驾驶风格。故A项“沿途的景观会有很多变化,像新房子、新建筑、新道路的出现”符合语境。

3.G 根据语境可知,此处谈司机的驾驶风格,故G项“如果司机开车很刺激的话,乘车就像阅读令人兴奋的故事书一样”符合语境。

4.D 该空是一个过渡句,承接上段的“After a while,of course,the excitement dies down.”兴奋消失后,只能通过睡觉打发时间。故D项符合语境。

5.E 该空承上启下。空前的描述告诉我们:长途旅行的开头和结尾都很让人兴奋。空后的描述告诉我们:长时间坐车会很疲惫,需要不停地调整坐姿来使自己放松。可知,E项“随着坐车的时间越来越长,你会感到座椅越来越硬”符合语境。

C

【语篇导读】 由于种种原因,校园暴力已经严重影响了学生的学习生活以及身心健康,这一现象已经引起了教育部的重视。

1.D D项“这不是教育部第一次为阻止校园暴力而采取的措施”和该空的后一句“早在五月份它就已经发起了处理这个问题的活动”相呼应。

2.A 本段内容与上一段强调教育部为阻止校园暴力而积极采取行动是转折关系,“然而校园暴力仍然很猖狂”。

3.B B项中的“The punishments of the schools”与本段“punishing the perpetrators with campus rules instead of calling the police”相呼应。

4.E 本段揭示学校对校园暴力从轻处理的原因。

5.F 学校隐瞒校园暴力的丑闻会带来更为严重的后果,此句承上启下。

2.C 根据前一句可知,这样,当你的孩子开始上学时,他们已经知道老师正在教什么,并且将会走上快车道。所以选C项。

3.B 根据“She was given a series of words and even sentences that she could read quite well.”可知,她可以很好地阅读给出的一系列的文字甚至句子,所以选B项。

4.F 根据后一句可知,在孩子很小的时候学习会很有趣,而且可以很容易地完成,他们不必为了学习而挣扎。故选F项。5.A 根据倒数第二段可知, 只需向孩子展示配对图片,还有一些视频有助于教孩子阅读,所以选A项。

一、选择题．下列属于相对脆弱的自然生态系统的是．绿洲荒漠交界带．地质灾害易发区解析：选相对脆弱的自然生态系统常见的有海岛生态系统、干旱区生态系统和高寒带生态系统等。．下列属于非洲的荒漠化问题特别严重的自然原因是．气候干旱．过度放牧．水土流失严重区．高寒带生态系统．乱垦滥伐．破坏植被 4

解析：选非洲北部为热带沙漠气候，降水稀少，气候干旱，荒漠化问题特别严重；乱垦滥伐、过度放牧和破坏植被为人为原因。新中国成立以来，我国沙漠化土地面积不断扩大，河北怀来沙漠离北京天安门已不足70 km。我国形成的沙漠化土地有85%是滥垦、滥牧和滥伐森林的结果；10%是水资源利用不当和工矿建设破坏林草造成的；5%是沙丘入侵农田和草场所致。据此完成～题。．这些沙漠化土地主要分布在．华南、华东和华北地区．西北、西南和东北地区．西北、东北和华北地区．东北、华北和西南地区．这些沙漠化土地的形成．主要是人类对土地进行不合理的开发和利用，使植被受到破坏所致．是人类发展工农业所致．主要是由于降水减少，蒸发加剧．是由于气候干旱，沙丘不断向农牧业土地推进解析：3.4.A第题，沙漠化土地主要分布在干旱、半干旱和具有旱害的半湿润地区，在我国主要分布在东北、华北和西北地区。第题，由材料可知，我国形成的沙漠化土地有85%是滥垦、滥牧和滥伐森林的结果。位于长江中上游的某茶场，茶园面积600亩，每年四月、七月、十一月要锄草三次，久而久之，茶园“消瘦”了。同时，锄草需要大量劳动力，困惑之际，茶场主人想到“羊喜吃嫩草，却不吃嫩茶”，于是把羊引进茶园，既节约人力、物力，又保持了水土，肥沃了茶园，可谓一举两得。据此完成～题。．长江中上游植被破坏后，给下游地区带来的危害是．泥沙淤积河、湖，洪水排泄不畅，致使洪涝灾害频繁．水土流失日趋严重．气候恶化，导致全球气候变暖．河流径流的季节变化减小．根据长江流域地理特征可以推知，三次锄草中，水土流失最严重的是．四月、七月．七月．茶园“消瘦”的主要原因是．缺乏分解者．缺少枯枝落叶．土壤中有机质被微生物分解．表层土壤被大量冲走解析：5.6.C7.D第题，长江中上游植被破坏后，导致水土流失加重，河流含沙量增大，因而造成下游淤积严重，洪水排泄不畅，致使洪涝灾害频繁。第题，长江流域降水夏季最为集中，在暴雨冲刷下，水土流失严重，因此四月、七月、十一月相比，水土流失最严重的是七月。第题，从材料中可以看出茶园“消瘦”的主要原因是水土流失造成的表层土壤被大量冲走。二、综合题．四月．十一月
