六、阅读下列短文,根据短文内容,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选择最佳选项。(共26分,每小题2分)

A  
How to keep fit
Running
   Running will help you lose weight faster than any other activity. It also strengthens (加强) your heart, lungs, and leg muscles (肌肉). But it can hurt your joints (关节). If you feel ache in your knees (膝盖), you need to stop and choose a different activity.
Walking
   Walking puts less stress (压力) on the body than running. But you need to get your heart beating faster to see results. This means you’ll need to walk fast. Walking can also help you lose weight.
Swimming
   Swimming is a great way to strengthen different parts of your body. But it is not a good way to lose weight. The water in a swimming pool is cooler than our body temperature. The body naturally protects itself from the cold by keeping fat.
Cycling
   Riding a bicycle will help you lose weight and work leg muscles. But be careful! If you live in the city, you should stay on bike path and away from traffic.

47. Running can strengthen your ______.
A. feet              B. eyes             C. knees          D. heart

B
When you want to go shopping, decide how much money you can spend on new clothes, think about the kind of clothes you really need. Then look for those clothes on sale. There are labels (标签) inside all new clothes. The labels tell you how to take care of your clothes. The label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water. A sweater label may tell you to wash it in cold water. The label on a coat may say “dry-clean only”. Washing may ruin (毁掉) this coat. If you do as the directions say on the labels, you can keep your clothes looking their best.
Many clothes today must be dry-cleaned. Dry-cleaning is expensive. When buying new clothes, check to see if they will need to be dry-cleaned. You will save money if you buy clothes that can be washed. You will save money if you buy clothes that are well-made. Well-made clothes last longer. They look good even after they have been washed many times. Clothes that cost more money are not always better-made. They don’t always fit better. Sometimes cheaper clothes fit better than more expensive clothes.

50. The labels inside the clothes tell you          .
A. how to save money            B. whether they fit you or not
C. how to keep them looking best     D. where to get them dry-cleaned
解析:推理判断题 根据第一段第三、四句There are labels inside all new clothes. The labels tell you how to take care of your clothes.可知衣服里面的标签说明了如何护理你的衣服,也即怎样保持它们看起来很好。

51. From the passage we know that cheaper clothes          .
A. must be dry-cleaned     B. can not be washed
C. are always worse-made   D. can sometimes fit better
解析:细节理解题 根据文章最后一句Sometimes cheaper clothes fit better than more expensive clothes.可知答案。

52. The best title for the passage should be          .
A. Buying Cheaper Clothes
B. Being a Clever Clothes Shopper
C. Taking Enough Money When Shopping
D. Reading the Labels Inside New Clothes
解析:主旨大意题 本文主题由第一段第一句和文章其余内容可推断是教你如何做一个精明的服装采购者。A、C、D选项只是对如何成为一个精明服装采购者的具体意见。

C
The Peppered Moth, a kind of insect (昆虫), is found in England. It is light brown in colour and likes to settle (定居)on trees which are also light brown. This makes the moth difficult to be found and birds are less likely to notice and eat it.
But with the development of industry (工业), smoke from factories began to reach the trees where the moth settled. It made the trees blacker. Then something very strange happened in industrial areas. The Peppered Moth began to change colour. It became darker as well. Though the change took several years. Some scientists soon noticed that newly-born moths were a little darker than usual.
A scientist called Kettlewell decided to make a careful study of this phenomenon (现象). He marked (作记号) some of the light moths and some of the darker ones, and set them free in the woods near Bermingham, an industrial city. Later, he recaptured (再捕获) as many marked moths as possible. The results were as follows:
Light moths Darker moths
Moths set free 201 601
Moths recaptured     34 (16%)     206 (34%)
Kettlewell’s research was done in the early 1950s. Soon Britain brought in new laws to reduce smoke and factory pollution.
Can you imagine what would happen to the Peppered Moth as the air became cleaner again?

53.  The Peppered Moth began to change its colour in industrial areas because         .
A. it itself liked to
B. it had to keep the environment
C. it was polluted by the smoke from factories   
D. it could be like the colour of its living place
解析:推理判断题 根据文章第一段第二、三句It is light brown in colour …birds are less likely to notice and eat it.胡椒蛾会变的与自身生存环境的颜色相近以使得自己不容易被鸟类发现并吃掉。

54.  From the results of Kettlewell’s research, we can see that         .
A. some light moths became darker ones
B. much more of the light moths were killed
C. more darker moths were killed in industrial areas   
D. less than 1/5 of the light moths were being killed
解析:推理判断题 根据文中表格内数据可知,浅色蛾的再捕获率为16%,而深色蛾的再捕获率为34%。并且,由第二段第四、五、六句The Peppered Moth began to change colour. It became darker as well. Though the change took several years.可知胡椒蛾变色要数年的时间,研究中的数据不可能是由浅色蛾变成深色蛾导致的,只能是浅色蛾比深色蛾被吃掉的更多。

55.The passage is mainly about          .
A. Kettlewell, a great scientist
B. the moths that changed colour
C. the results of the moths set free and recaptured
D. the reason why the government made new laws to stop pollution 
解析:主旨大意题 由全文可以看出,本文着重讨论胡椒蛾根据居住环境颜色的变化而逐渐改变了自身的颜色来适应环境,以免被鸟类捕食。文中提到的科学家及其研究是为了说明胡椒蛾变色的原因。并且胡椒蛾变色也不是政府推出禁止污染法案的原因,提到该法案是为引出生存环境改变对胡椒蛾影响的思考。

D
Around noon on October 7, 2005, my Russian-born wife Nafisa gave birth to our daughters, Lara and Hana. I had lived in the United States for over 20 years, but moved back to Pakistan in 2000 to be with my father during the final years of his life (he died in October 2004). I was working as a school principal (校长) in Islamabad.
After spending the day at the hospital, my mother and I went home at about 9 p.m., while my sister Elmira stayed on with Nafisa and the babies. I was so excited that I hardly slept that night. Nafisa had asked me to bring her some fresh fruit, so the next morning I drove to a market next to the Margalla Towers. At the same time, my mother stayed at home.
Just before 9, as I was picking out some apples and bananas, the ground started to move from side to side. The shaking (抖动) became stronger and the air filled with strange noises. Everyone in the market rushed outside and started crying. Finally, after several minutes, the earthquake (地震) stopped. Part of the Margalla Towers had fallen down. People covered with blood (血) could be seen everywhere.
Later I learned that when the ground started shaking, Nafisa and Elmira carried the babies and rushed out of the hospital. By the time my mother and I arrived at the hospital, they were resting on the grass. Just as we were moving back into the building at about 3 p.m., another strong shaking hit.
The aftershock (余震) continued for several days. Whenever the shaking started, we just held the babies and tried to calm (使平静) each other. We felt completely helpless. Still we were among the lucky ones. The earthquake had destroyed much of Kashmir — thousands died and many more were left homeless. Many of our friends had been killed.
My school reopened a few days after the earthquake. The following weeks at the school were full of worries. During the aftershocks, I had to sound the alarm (警报) to all 3,000 students and 300 teachers. Much of the time the school was strangely quiet. The students stayed in small groups rather than run around and play. As a principal, I was used to telling students to keep quiet and calm. Now I started to miss all that noise.
Like so many people in Pakistan, I’ve spent a lot of time trying to find out why we had to experience this terrible earthquake. I now believe life wanted to teach us a lesson. One minute I was on top of the world and the next I was at the bottom.

56. How many people were there in the writer’s family when the earthquake happened?
A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven.
解析:细节理解题 根据文章第一段及第二段前两句的介绍,地震发生时作者的家庭成员包括他和他妻子(Nafisa)及两个孩子(Lara and Hana),以及作者的母亲和姐姐(Elmira)共六人,作者的父亲在地震发生前一年已经过世。

57. Where were the writer and his family when the earthquake began?
A. They all stayed in the hospital except the writer.
B. Some were at home, and the others in the hospital.
C. Most of them were in the hospital but two weren’t.
D. Each of them had his own place except the babies.
解析:推理判断题 根据文章第二段及第三段首句可以推断,在地震发生时作者的姐姐、妻子和孩子都在医院,作者的母亲在家中而作者正在超市挑选水果。由此可见选项C符合文意。

58. The writer missed the noise at school because ______.
A. he would have nothing to do without noise
B. he looked forward to the return to usual life
C. he loved everything created by the students
D. he became used to noises in the earthquake
解析:主旨大意题 本题是考查对文章第六段大意的理解,从该段可以看出地震后学生们的生活仍然笼罩在地震的阴影中,作者提到怀念孩子们过去的吵闹也即渴望回到地震前的正常生活中去。

59. The underlined sentence in the passage means ______.
A. life is often made up of happiness and sadness
B. good things are always followed by bad things
C. one can’t be successful in life without difficulty
D. when you are too excited things will go wrong
解析:主旨大意题 文中划线的句子One minute I was on top of the world and the next I was at the bottom.可直译为“这一分钟我可能在世界之巅,下一分钟我就可能跌到最低谷。”结合文章内容,该句寓意了人生中总是交织着快乐和悲伤的事。

八、阅读短文, 根据短文内容回答问题。(共10分,每小题2分)
 As everyone knows, the law in most countries nowadays demands (要求) that all children receive an education. However, do you know that a number of parents make special arrangements to educate their children at home? This happens mainly to the children who have serious health problems or learning difficulties, or are especially gifted (有天赋的).
Whatever the reason, there are certainly some advantages of educating children at home. First, they can learn at their own speed, spending more time on the subjects which they find difficult. Second, it is easier for them to pay attention since they don’t have the distraction (分心) of noisy classmates. Finally, they learn more in a one-to-one situation, as they get the full attention of the teacher.
On the other hand, learning at home is not without drawbacks. For one thing, children who do not go to school lack (缺乏) experience of making friends with other children. As a result, they do not learn the social skills needed in later life. Moreover, they are less motivated (激励) to work hard, because they have no one to compare their progress with and to compete against.
All things considered, I believe children should go to school. Education is not only a matter of learning facts — children also need to learn how to get along with others, and to develop their personalities. I feel they can only do this by mixing with other children in a school environment.

64. Do all children receive an education at school nowadays?
No, they don’t.
解析:细节题 可回原文定位到第一段第二、三句However, do you know that a number of parents to educate their children at home?可知答案。

65. What kinds of children do parents educate at home?
The children who have serious health problems or learning difficulties, or are especially gifted.
解析:细节题 可回原文定位到第一段最后一句This happens mainly to the children who have serious health problems or learning difficulties, or are especially gifted.可知答案。

66. How many advantages of educating children at home are mentioned?
Three.
解析:主旨题 由文章第二段可知there are certainly some advantages of educating children at home. First…Second… Finally…儿童在家接受教育的优势有三点。

67. How do children learn social skills at school?
By making friends with other children.
解析:细节题 可回原文定位到第三段第二句For one thing, children who do not go to school lack experience of making friends with other children.可知答案。

68. What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?
The advantage and disadvantage of educating children at school or at home and the writer’s opinion.
解析:主旨题 由全文内容可知,文章第二段说明了在家接受教育的优势,第三段说明了其缺点。最后一段表明了作者观点:孩子在学校接受教育更好,有利于孩子个性发展及学会与他人相处。
