第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

My father was a taxi driver but I am a king—King Renato, of the country Pontinha, an island on Funchal 21．（6分）harbour. It’s in Madeira, Portugal, where I grew up. It was discovered in 1419; Captain Cook once came here.

In 123, the Portuguese government didn’t have enough money to build a harbor port, so the king sold the land to a wealthy British family, the Blandys, who make Madeira wine. Fourteen years ago, the family decided to sell it for just € 25,000 (£19,500). I decided to buy it though I had no money—I was just an art teacher.

I tried to find some business partners, but they all thought I was crazy to want to buy what is actually a large rock;

it has a small cave, a platform on top, and no electricity or running water. So I sold some of my possessions, put my savings together and bought it.

When the king of Portugal originally sold the island in 123, he and all the governors signed a document, selling all the “possessions and the dominions (领土)” of the island. It means I can do what I want with it—I could start a restaurant, or a cinema, but nobody thought that someone would want to start a country. So that’s what I did: I decided that this would no longer be just a rock on the port of Funchal. It would be my island, about the size of a one-bedroom house.

After I bought it, the governor of Madeira asked to buy my island. Of course, I said no. He said that unless I sold it back to the state, he wouldn’t let me connect to any electricity. But I have a solar panel and a small windmill, and maybe in the future I will be able to generate power from the ocean around Pontinha. 1、What does the writer want to show by mentioning his father? A．He had a royal family. B．He loved his family. C．He was not a born king. D．He was not a good driver. 2、Who sold the island to the author? A．A Portuguese king. B．An art teacher. C．The Blandy family. D．Captain Cook. 3、How did the writer start the country? A．He discovered the island. B．He found business supporters.

C．He was supported by citizens in the island. D．He took advantage of the official document. 4、What can we infer about the country Pontinha? A．It was a tiny island.

B．A harbor port was built on it. C．It was a wealthy land. D．Life there was very convenient.

22．（8分）A new technology is going to ripe, one that could transform our daily lives, help to form new industries, even remove world economic powers from their present positions. Unlike the wave of industrialization that began in the West and spread later to the rest of the world, the new developments are taking place in research labs all over the globe—and Asians are in the forefront. Physicists are creating a new class of materials that display an amazing property unforeseen even two years ago—superconductivity (超导体技术).

Used today only in specialized equipment, super conductors have the potential to radically change most of the electrical and electronic appliances found in the home, making them smaller, more powerful and efficient. They could free our cities of pollution by replacing petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles with electric cars, and cut the cost of electricity. The new materials do something that even the best of conductors such as copper and silver cannot—they do away with all electrical resistance. The significances for energy storage are great.

The technology is in its early stage, still accessible to countries that decide to invest brains and money. For 75 years it had remained little more than a scientific curiosity with limited practical use because the phenomenon occurred only at extremely low temperatures. It was first observed in 1911 by a Dutch scientist named Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, who cooled mercury (水银) to temperatures below -269℃ with liquid helium (氦). Then in January last year, two IBM scientists, K. Alex Muller and J. George Bednorz, found a metal oxide ceramic (氧化陶瓷) that superconducted at -243℃. Their report went largely unnoticed until last December, when it was confirmed at a scientific meeting in Boston. Today Japan, India, China and other Asian countries all have their share of experts who spend their days and nights in labs, acting as midwives (助产士) to a new technology.

1、As is indicated in the passage, the technology of superconductivity ____________. A．has already been developed B．is still under development

C．will be used only in specialized equipment D．will be used in daily lives in a few years

2、The new technology differs from the others in that ____________. A．it began in the East and spread later to the rest of the world B．it began in the West and spread later to the rest of the world C．it is being cultivated in research labs around the world D．it is accessible to physicists who are intelligent and rich 3、From the passage, we may conclude that ____________.

A．Asian scientists gain the lead in the growth of the new technology B．Dutch scientists kept reporting new findings for the last 75 years C．IBM scientists' report receive immediate attention all over the world D．the West was astonished at the new technology developed by the Asians 4、Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．The Prospect of a New Technology B．Superconductivity: A New Technology

C．A New Technology: The Key to Change the Way of Our Lives D．A New Technology: A Joint Effort of Many Countries

My love for dogs goes as far back as my first memory. As a little girl，I collected dog toys. At 5 years 23．（8分）old，I was ready and willing to run away with the family dog after the threat of giving him away when he chewed up the sofa. Luckily he stayed and my affection for man's best friend continued. As an adult，my reasons for wanting to adopt a dog were purely selfish. I wanted a companion. I wanted a young，energetic dog that would need long walks or runs to help keep mc active to stick to an exercise routine.

Little did I know that my four﹣legged friend and love for dogs would help me feel more at home in and fall in love with my Shanghai community. It seemed to me that being a tall blonde didn't already attract a lot of curious stares；add a 12﹣kilogram black dog that believes everyone is his best friend to the picture and locals seem even more intrigued. The decision to adopt Xiao Hei definitely fulfilled those early selfish desires，but the experience has also brought me closer to my neighbors and made me feel more at home.

A few months after I first brought Xiao Hei home，I spotted the group of elderly Chinese people who gather at the park. After realizing they go there most weeknights，I decided it would be a good way to help Xiao Hei socialize with other dogs. After a few visits，it was not only an opportunity for him to play but also a chance for me to practice my Chinese. \"Most Chinese give their dogs English names，but you've given him a Chinese name. Very interesting，\"they laughed. With that simple laugh，it seemed that barriers were broken and with each visit I felt more a part of the community.

1、Why did the author want to adopt a dog？ A．To practice Chinese.

B．To understand Chinese culture. C．To feel at home． D．To find a companion．

2、Who is likely to be the author of the text？ A．A Shanghai native. B．A Chinese dog lover. C．A foreigner in Shanghai. D．A researcher on Chinese culture.

3、The underlined word \"intrigued\" in Paragraph 2 probably means_____. A．interested

B．excited

C．satisfied

D．frightened

4、What can be inferred from the text'？

A．The author once left home with her dog. B．The author gets along well with her neighbors. C．The author is good at the Chinese language. D．The author will settle in Shanghai forever.

Spielberg was enrolled at California State University in 1965, but dropped out three years later to seek his 24．（8分）filmmaking career.

After re-enrolling in 2001, he studied hard in his office or at home, though he didn’t attend general classes. He worked on independent projects and talked with professors to receive his bachelor’s degree in film and electronic arts. He said happily after attending the graduation ceremony in cap and gown, “I wanted to do this for many years as a ‘thank you’ to my parents for giving me the opportunity for an education and a career, and as personal note for my own family, and young people everywhere, about the importance of achieving their college education goals.” And he added, “ But I hope they get there quicker than I did.”

After leaving school, Spielberg worked in television through the early 1970s, and made the great thriller “Jaws”. He quickly became one of the most commercially successful filmmakers in history with such hits as “Jurassic Park” and “Saving Private Ryan”. He founded the company DreamWorks with his friends.

Spielberg has five honorary doctorates (博士学位), but what he really warned was this humble college degree. He posed for pictures with his fellow graduates, and smiles as he was showered with small pieces of colorful paper. 1、Spielberg withdrew from school in his early life to ________. A．found his own company B．start his professional career C．prove his education a failure D．make his fortune in Hollywood

2、Spielberg received his bachelor’s degree to show the young ________. A．his appreciation for his own family B．the significance of college education C．his determination to achieve his goal D．the importance of continued education

3、Spielberg has made history in the movie industry with his ________. A．five honorary doctorates B．humble college degree C．widely-known hit movies

D．successful company DreamWorks

4、Which would be the best title for the passage? A．One is Never Too Old to Learn

B．College Education and Filmmaking Career C．Realizing One’s Old Dream Needs Sacrifice D．A Humble College Degree and the Great Filmmaker

Each year there is an increasing number of cars on roads and streets as millions of new cars and trucks(卡25．（10分）车)are produced. One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars and trucks with gas. Americans won’t live without cars!

Most Americans would find it hard to think what life could look like without a car. However, some have realized the serious problem of the air pollution that is caused by the car. The polluted air becomes poisonous (有毒)and dangerous to health.

One way to get rid of the polluted car is to build a car that does not pollute. That’s what several of the large car factories have been trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field(领域) has been slow.

Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. Inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric cars. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man. To prevent the world from being polluted by car, we’ll have to make some changes in the way many of us live. Americans, for example, have to cut down on the number of their total cars. They are encouraged to travel and to go to work by bicycle. Bicycling is thought to help keep the air clean.

But this change doesn’t come easily. A large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment(失业).

Although cars have led us to a better life, they have also brought us new problems. 1、How many ways to get rid of air pollution are suggested in this article by the writer? A．One B．Two C．Three D．Four

2、Large car factories are trying to build a clean car, ___________. A．which is clean itself B．which is used to clean streets C．which does not pollute the air D．which is easier to make

3、If the number of cars is cut down, the most serious problem to American workers is _______. A．to have no work to do B．to keep the air clean C．to get a better life D．to go work by bike 4、What is the conclusion of the writer? A．Bicycling is the only way out B．The number of cars must be cut down C．Cars bring us nothing but serious problems

D．Cars bring us not only a better life but serious problems

第二节 书面表达（满分25分） 29、Dear Amalia:

I am deeply impressed by your adventure experience. As a girl of your age, I admire your courage and bravery. I also have an experience. It may not be as quarter as yours, but very unforgettable.

Last winter vacation, I went to Iceland with my parents, which is famous for the Northern Lights. But since they are the solar activity, seeing it or not depends on luck and the weather. It was freezing to death that night, so we all dressed like astronauts. Staring at the sky, we could see nothing but stars in the darkness. Feeling cold and hopeless, I was thinking of going back to our hotel. My father and mother hugged me to keep us warm and encouraged me to go on waiting. The Northern Lights appeared at last. They were as dancing lights high in the sky and varied in colour, green, purple, red, pink, orange and blue. Once you see them, you can’t get them out of your mind. Hope we can travel together one day. (173w)
