Ⅱ阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项。
A
If there is one thing I am sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers.It is not that newspapers are a necessity.Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio.Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday.But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
The nature of what is news may change.What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories; the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters will continue much the same.I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though.It's already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic (基因) engineering.In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
It's quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted (传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home.In fact, I am pretty sure that it will happen in the future.You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read—sports and international news, etc.
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media (媒体).They actually feed_off each other.Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn't happened.What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air.And as for the Internet, it is never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.
26.What is the best title for the text?
A.The Best Way to Get News
B.The Changes of Media
C.Make Your Own Newspaper
D.The Future of Newspapers

A.more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news
B.newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer
C.newspapers will cover more scientific research
D.more and more people will watch TV
28.What will probably be on in the newspaper made by you?
A.Sports and international news.
B.A menu of important news.
C.The most important news.
D.What you are interested in.
29.From the text, we can infer that ________.
A.newspapers will win the competition among the different media
B.newspapers will stay with us together with other media
C.television will take the place of newspapers
D.some media will die out
30.The underlined phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means ________.

Why should mankind explore space?Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits?Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.
Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup (基因构成) as human beings.What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival.Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.
Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for.Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger.With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.
Exploration also allows minerals and other potential (潜在的) resources to be found.Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later.Resources may be more than physical possessions.Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration.The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives.We have already benefited from other spinoffs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems.Even nonstick pans and mirrored sunglasses are byproducts (副产品) of technological developments in the space.
While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us.While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers.The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive.Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.
While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets.It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.
31.Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph 1?
A.To express his doubts.
B.To compare different ideas.
C.To introduce points for discussion.
D.To describe the conditions on Earth.
32.What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2?
A.Humans are natureborn to do so.
B.Humans have the tendency to fight.
C.Humans may find new sources of food.
D.Humans don't like to stay in the same place.
33.The underlined word “spinoffs” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to ________.
A.survival chances
B.unexpected benefits
C.potential resources
D.physical possessions
34.What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?
A.The adaptive ability of humans.
B.Resources on the earth.
C.Our genetic makeup.
D.Byproducts in space exploration.
35.Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?
A.Space exploration has created many wonders.
B.Space exploration provided the best value for money.
C.Space exploration can benefit science and technology.
D.Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.
C
The word “conservation” has a thrifty (节俭) meaning.To conserve is to save and protect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such good condition so that others may also share the enjoyment.Our forefathers had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw materials; most of them, even until very recently, had this foolish idea that the treasures were “limitless” and “inexhaustible”.Most of the citizens or earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated and delicate system that runs all through nature, and which means that, as in a living body, an unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or later be harmful to all the others.
Fifty years ago nature study was not part of the school work; scientific forestry (林地) was a new idea: timber (木材) was still cheap because it could be brought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction and river floods were not national problems; nobody had yet studied longterm climatic cycles in relation to proper land use; even the word “conservation” had nothing of the meaning that it has for us today.
For the sake of ourselves and those who will come after us, we must now set about repairing the mistakes of our forefathers.Conservation should, therefore, be made a part of everyone's daily life.To know about the water table (地下水位) in the ground is just as important to us as a knowledge of the basic mathematic formulas.We need to know why all watersheds need the protection of plant life and why the running current of streams and river must be made to yield their full benefit to the soil before they finally escape to the sea.We need to be taught the duty of planting trees as well as of cutting them.We need to know the importance of big, mature trees, because living_space_for_most_of_man's_fellow_creatures_on_this_planet_is_figured_not_only_in_square_measure_of_surface_but_also_in_cubic_volume_above_the_earth.In brief, it should be our goal to restore as much of the original beauty of nature as we can.
36.The author's attitude towards the present situation in the use of natural resources is ________.
A.positive
B.neutral
C.critical
D.suspicious
37.According to the author, the greatest mistake of our forefathers was that ________.
A.they had little or no sense of environmental protection
B.they had no idea about scientific forestry
C.they did not know the importance of nature study
D.they had no idea of how to make good use of raw materials
38.With a view to correcting the mistakes of our forefathers, the author suggests that ________.
A.we plant more trees and make full use of the woodlands
B.we be taught environmental science, as well as the science of plants
C.we return to nature and not use any natural resources at all
D.environmental education be directed toward everyone
39.What does the author imply by saying “living space...above the earth” in the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?
A.Our living space on the earth is getting smaller and smaller in volume.
B.We must create better living conditions for both birds and animals.
C.We need to take some measures to protect space in volume.
D.Our living space should be measured in cubic volume.
40.What's the best title for the passage?
A.Our Forefathers' Big Mistake
B.Improve the Living Conditions
C.Protection of Our Resources
D.Lead a Simple Life

Christopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast.Diagnosed with diabetes (糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin (胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death.And if that weren't bad enough, he had no health insurance.
After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he'd better find a way to fight back.He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar, and created diabeticrockstar.com, a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones—a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources.
Jason Swencki's son, Kody, was diagnosed with type diabetes at six.Father and son visit the online children's forums (论坛) together most evenings.“Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over,” says Swencki, one of the site's volunteers.“They know what he's going through, so he doesn't feel alone.”
Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases.And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.
