'The father replied, 'Don't worry about that. We still have plenty of time.'But on a day after her 14th birthday, She passed out(昏倒) and was rushed to the hospital. The family found that the girl had a serious heart disease and that she might die. At night, she asked her dad, 'Daddy, have they told you that I am going to die?' The father replied, 'No, you will live as long as anyone else.' She wondered and asked, 'How can you be sure?' He smiled to her and said,' I just know it?'After the girl turned 15, She had a heart transplant (心脏移植手术). After she came back from the hospital, she found a letter on her bed. It said, 'My dearest daughter, one day you asked me what I would give you for your 15th birthday. I wasn't sure then. But now you know that my present to you is my heart.' The father had given his heart to his daughter.Parents are selfless(无私的). They even make great sacrifices to make their children grow up happily.

Some have climbed the highest mountains, travelled into unknown parts of the world and others have sailed in small boats across the greatest seas.I would think bungee jumping(蹦极) to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 meres above the ground with an elastic (有弹性的) rope tied to your feet. You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that over 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other dangerous activities like jumping from tall buildings and jumping into the water from the top of high places.Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some scientists think that it is because life in modern world has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, people’s lives were often poor. They had to go out and hunt for food, illnesses could not easily be cured, and life was harder than that of the present days.Nowadays, to many people, life gives little excitement. They live and work safely; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.(   )8.How many people have now tried bungee jumping?A. Less than two million.B. More than two million.C. About two million.D. Two million.(   )9.In bungee jumping, you________.A. jump as high as you canB. fall at up to 150 miles an hourC. tie yourself to a rope and fall to the groundD. fall towards the ground without a rope(   )10.People probably take part in dangerous sports nowadays because _________.A. they have a lot of free timeB. they can go to hospital if they are injuredC. there is not much excitement in their livesD. they no longer need to hunt for food(   )11.What is the best title of this passage?A. Modern Life is BoringB. Need for ExcitementC. Bungee Jumping: Is It Really Dangerous?D. Dangerous Sports: What and Why?DWaves(波浪) are beautiful to look at, but huge waves are greatly harmful to ships at sea, as well as houses and buildings near the seaside. What causes waves? Most waves are caused by winds blowing over the surface of the water. The sun heats the earth, causing the air to rise and the winds to blow. The winds blow across the sea, pushing little waves into bigger and bigger ones.The size of a wave is decided by how strong the wind is, how long it blows, and how large the body of water is. In a small bay, big waves will never build up. But at sea the wind can build up big, powerful waves.It is believed that the height of a wave (in meters) will usually be no more than one tenth of the wind's speed (in kilometers). In other words, when the wind is blowing at 120 kilometers an hour, most waves will be 12 meters high or less. Of course, some waves may come together to form big waves that are much higher.(   )12.What are huge waves greatly harmful to?A.Ships at sea.B.Houses in the city.C.The living things in the sea.D.Buildings in the town.(   )13.What causes waves?A.Ships' pushing the water.B.The sun's heating the earth.C.Sharks' running after each other.D.Winds' blowing over the surface of the water.(   )14.According to the passage,which statement is NOT true about the size of a wave?A.It's decided by how strong the wind is.B.It's decided by how long the wind blows.C.It's decided by how far the wind blows.D.It's decided by how large the body of water is.(   )15.When the wind is blowing at 168 kilometers an hour, how high will most waves be?A.12 meters.           B.16 meters.C.168 meters.        D.240 meters.第二节 补全短文（本题共5小题，每小题2分，计10分）阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,从下面方框中的A-F选项中,选择适当的选项补全短文。There is a beautiful country in South America.

And they give us happy feelings back. But 46.__________(recent), a study shows that it’s different for plants.The study in the newspaper China Daily shows that plants don’t “like” to be touched. That’s because touching changes their genes (基因) and, even 47.____________(bad), can slow their growth.Professor Jim Whelan from a university in Australia gave 48.___________explanation. “The lightest touch from a human, animal, insect, or even plants touching each other in the wind, 49._________(lead) to a huge gene change in the plant,” Science Daily reported.Scientists did an experiment on plants, 50.__________(try) to test this idea. They grew a number of plants to the age of four weeks. Then they touched them with a paintbrush every 12 hours over a 36-hour period.They found that after being touched, the mitochondria (线粒体) in the plants 51.__________(break). The mitochondria are the “power house of the cell (细胞)”. The mitochondria makes power for the rest of the cell in both animals and plants. If this “power house” is not strong enough, the plants will lose a large amount of energy 52.__________should help them grow.Whelan further explained, “If we touch the plants 53._________(one), it will not be that bad. But after doing that again and again, plant growth will go down by up to 30 percent.” So stop 54.___________(touch) the plants many times.Although the touching makes a 55._____________(different) to plants, usually the plants can continue to live. Touching changes the plants, but it’s not always a bad

change. The researchers believe this change, in some way, could be helpful. It may help plants fight dangers to their health such as insects and bad weather as long as we don’t touch them repeatedly. Let’s help plants have a good change!第六节 书面表达。（共1小题，25分）假如你是李明，你校英语社团正在开展主题为“How do students find study partners?”的讨论，为此你采访了你们班的学生。请你根据下表内容用英语写一篇调查报告进行交流，并谈谈你自己的方式及理由。对象方式理由大多数学生参加社团1. 面对面分享经验2. 共同解决问题部分学生使用网络1. 更容易找到学伴2. 及时得到帮助你的建议......1. ......2. ......注意：1. 短文必须包括表中所有内容，可适当增加细节；2.你的理由至少两条；3. 词数100词左右；4. 短文首句仅供选择使用，不计入总词数。How do students find study partners?I have recently done a survey about how students find study partnersinmy class.参考答案第一节 阅读理解1-3 CDB         4-7 DADC8-11 BCCD    12-15 ADCB第二节 补全短文16-20 DCBAE第三节  完形填空21-25 CDBCA    26-30 CDADC31-35 ABACA第四节  词汇。（本题共10小题，每小题1分，计10分）36.knowledge     37. direct38. punished      39.pronounce40. stole        41. wisely42. beside    43.warmth44. politely    45.
