II.语言知识及应用（共两节，满分30分）
第一节：语言结构 （共10小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分）
仔细阅读下面的短文，短文中有10个空格或划线句子。请按照每小题括号内的具体要求完成语法填空、词形变化、句子合并、句子改写以及病句改正等。
The Internet can be a very fun and useful tool. It has become so
extensive 21 (引导词) you can now do everything 22 (介词) shop for clothes to research the
pyramids of Egypt. 23 You can do so many things, just by being online.
(就斜体部分改写成强调句型)
One of the most unique experiences 24 (come的适当形式) out of the Internet’s
popularity is the phenomenon of Internet friends.
25 An Internet friend is someone whom you talk to on line and
probably have never met the person. (改正句中一处错误) You may have first talked to this person in a chat room and
discovered you 26 (短语动词) a lot and then you made friends. You probably exchange messages
with this person whenever you are online. Internet friends often live in
another city, or even another country! Having Internet friends is 27 (冠词或零冠词，零冠词用/ 表示) unique experience and gives us a
chance to learn about other people.
Even though Internet friends can be a lot of fun, it is important to
remember that we need to be cautious. 28 (连词) we have probably never met the person we are talking to, we have
no way of knowing if they are telling the truth. It is important not to give
too much 29 (person的派生词) information because it may be
dangerous. 30 You should always
think twice before giving an Internet friend your telephone number or home
address.(改写成祈使句)
第二节：完型填空 （共10小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从31—40 各题所给的四个选项（A，B，C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Many people use e-mail to communicate with each other. If you have
access to a computer, it is a great way to send messages easily, quickly and as
often as you like. No longer is it necessary to find a pen and paper, not to 31
an envelope or a stamp.
Are we missing anything by not writing 32 letters to people?
Is the experience of receiving such letters worth the trouble of writing them?
Most people would probably reply,” No, it is a waste of paper 33 ; this
is a much better system.” It is hard to argue 34 such a viewpoint.
However, I would like to try.
I believe that this kind of letters people 35 to write tended
to be more meaningful than billions of email sent today. Of course, when it 36
to sending quick messages, email is the best. If 37 is important, email
is particularly useful. If, however, you want really to reach out and touch
someone, a letter is more personal.
Handwritten letters are the most personal. If you can type fast, you
can fit a lot into a letter. What’s 38 is that special sense of the
person that comes from seeing her or his handwriting. 39 it’s legible (可辨认的), it doesn’t matter how tidy it
is. When someone sits down and writes just for you, you feel that when you are
reading it.
Though I’m a teenager, I admit that I, too, feel excited to read a
letter in the mail. I love seeing my name written by hand on a(n) 40 .
You make yourself a nice cup of tea, sit down in a comfortable place, open your
letter, and enjoy everything that the person put into those words just for you.
What a gift!

From the jagged
(锯齿状的) peaks of
the Himalayas to the powerful Yangtze River that flows into the Pacific, China’s
vast terrain (地带) and varied
climate make it the sixth most biologically diverse nation on the planet.
Since 1998, The
Nature Conservancy has been working in China’s northwest Yunnan Province to
protect some of the amazing natural and cultural diversity unique to this
country for its future generations. In cooperation with Chinese local and state
government agencies, the Conservancy established the Yunnan Great Rivers
Project, which protects an area about the size of West Virginia.
Did you know?
●China contains 10% of the world’s total species.
●At least 15% of China’s mammal species and 8% of its bird species
are found nowhere else on Earth.
●Nearly 15,000 plant species are native to Yunnan Province.
●Yunnan is home to 75% of Tibetan
medicinal herbs and 30 endangered species.
What is the Nature Conservancy trying to do?
Education for Sustainability (可持续性)
The Nature
Conservancy recognizes that environmental education is an important element of
working closely with local communities to achieve sustainable conservation
results. In response, the Conservancy launched a new program called Education
for Sustainability which tests means of teaching and learning that combine
conservation goals, social justice, and appropriate development and participation
in a vision and mission for personal and social change.
Promoting Green Tourism
Tourism is both
an environmental threat and an economic opportunity, with the potential to
provide extremely needed income to northwest Yunnan. The Conservancy is working
with local communities, government agencies, and tourism ,enterprises(企业) to develop strategies for “green”
tourism which will limit the footprint of mass tourism while generating income
for local people. In addition to combining tourism development and management
at our five action sites, we assisted with regional marketing efforts to

Edmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200years ago. He
studied the observations of comets which other scientists had made. The orbit
of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem. He could not
figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.
However, Halley
had a friend named Isaac Newton. Who was a brilliant mathematician. Newton thought he had already he had done it. He told Halley that
the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse.
Now Halley set
to work. He figured out the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed
by scientist. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that had appeared in
the years 1531, 1607 and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearances had
been 75 to 76 years apart.
This seemed
very strange to Halley. Three different comets followed the same orbit. The
more Halley thought about it, the more he thought that there had not been three
different comets, as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen the
same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come back again.
It was an
astonishing idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction of what would
happen in the future. He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758.
There were 53 years to go before Halley’s prediction could be tested.
In 1758 the
comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some years
before. Ever since then that comet been called Halley’s comet, in his honor.
60. Halley made his discovery ______.
A. by doing
experiments B.
by means of his own careful observation
C. by using the
work of other scientists
D. by chance
61. Halley made a surprising but correct
prediction in the year ________.
A.1704 B.1705 C.
1706 D.1707
62. This text in general is about _______.
A. Halley and
other scientists B.
the orbit of a comet
C. Newton and
Halley D.
Halley and Halley comet
63. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Edmund
Halley was an American scientist.
B. Halley made
his discovery by doing experiments.
C. Isaac Newton
was a famous mathematician.
D. The orbit of
a comet had the shape of an around.
C
Millions of
years ago dinosaurs lived on the earth. In the days of dinosaurs, the whole
earth was warm and wet. There were green forests and they could find enough to
eat. Later, parts of the earth became cold and dry, and the forests there died.
Then dinosaurs could not find enough to eat. This must be one reason why
dinosaurs died out.
We can guess
another reason. New kinds of animals came on the earth. Some had big brains and
strong .They could kill dinosaurs.
There may be
other reasons that we don’t know about yet. Scientists are trying to make more
discoveries about dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs were of many sizes and shapes.
Some were as small as chickens, while some were about 90 feet long.
There were also
terrible rights between dinosaurs. They might have happened more than 100
million years ago. Though there was no man to see any of the fights, we can be
told by the animal’s footprints(足迹)that fights did take place .
64. According to the passage, dinosaurs did
exist only on the earth _______.
A. for millions
of year B.
millions of years ago
C. more than
100 million years ago D.
when it was warm and wet somewhere

that __________.
A. there were
too many dinosaurs
B. parts of the
earth became cold and dry
C. the dead
forests there could not supply them with enough food
D. they couldn’t
find enough go eat
66. One more reason why dinosaurs died out
may be that _______.
A. new kinds of
animals came on the earth
B. some fast
and strong animals with big brains could kill them
C. some
dinosaurs were as small as chickens
D. some big
dinosaurs died in the fights
67. We can see from this passage ________.
A. scientists
are trying to make some dinosaurs
B. dinosaurs

D
The blue tits(山雀) have been inspecting the nest-box again
this year. The male is the house-hunter but the female will make the final
choice. He lands at the hole and turns his head to expose his white cheeks as a
signal to attract the female from where she has been feeding.
Among many birds that nest in holes, the
male has a light-coloured patch on its plumage(鸟羽)
which acts as signal for drawing the female’s attention to a suitable
nesting-place. Unlike the blue tit, the redstart(红尾鸲)
may be only the male that strikingly coloured and the female is not beautiful.
A few years ago I was lucky enough to
spot a pair of redstarts in action in a Walsh wood. The male was leading an
interested female to holes that he had previously(先前) checked out. He sat at the entrance of
each hole and put his head on to show off his white forehead, or his head in to
reveal(显露) his tail.
If the female failed to
react to his visual signals, the male sometimes sang for extra effect, while
gliding towards her on spread wings and tail. Once the female accepts by
following the male through the hole the displays stop, you must be at the right
place at the right time to watch them.
68 How do the blue tits choose
their nest?
A. They choose their nest together.
B. The male chooses their nest.
C. The house-hunter chooses their nest.
D. The female chooses their nest.
69. The writer was lucky to
see ________.
A. how the male made his tricks
B. how an interested female played with
the male happily
C. what the male displayed and won the
female
D. that the male tried his best but
failed to attract the female
70. You can spot a pair of
redstarts in a Walsh wood ________.
A. at any time B. regularly C. in April D. occasionally
71. The writer is probably
________.
A. a bird expert B.
a bird-hunter
C. a bird raiser D.
a scientist

With only
about 1, 000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone(克隆) the animal and save the
endangered species(物种). That’s a more similar to what a Texas A & M University
researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called
“Noah’s Ark”.
Noah’s Ark is
aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid
nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a
professor in Texas A & M’s College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would
be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the
future.
It is
estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds reptiles will become
extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of
becoming extinct in the next 25 years.
This week,
Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead
female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying
to implant the embryo into a host animal.
The entire
procedure could take from three to five years to complete.
“The nuclear
transfer(核子移植) of one
species to another is not easy, and the lack of available(capable of being
used) panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer believes. “They will
probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having
a baby). It takes a long time and it’s difficult, but this could be
groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live
pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort,” adds Kraemer, who is one of the
leaders of the Project at Texas A& M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a
dog.
“They are
trying to do something that’s never been done, and this is very similar to our
work in Noah’s Ark. We’re both trying to save animals that face extinction. I
certainly appreciate their effort and there’s a lot we can learn from what they
are attempting to do. It’s a research that is very much needed.”
72. The aim of “Noah’s Ark” project is to _______.
A. make
efforts to clone the endangered pandas
B. save
endangered animals from dying out
C. collect
DNA of endangered animals to study
D. transfer
the nuclear of one animal to another
73. According to Professor Kraemer, the major problem in cloning
pandas would be the lack of _______.
A. available
panda eggs B.
host animals
C. qualified
researchers D.
enough money
74. The best title for the passage may be _______.
A. China’s
Success in Pandas Cloning
B. The First Cloned Panda in
the World
C. Exploring the Possibility to
Clone Pandas
D. China —the Native Place of
Pandas Forever
75. From the passage we know that _______.
A. Kraemer
and his team have succeeded in cloning a dog
B. scientists try to implant a
panda’s egg into a rabbit
C. Kraemer will work with
Chinese scientists in clone researches
D.
about two thousand of species
will probably die out in a century

Heroes for the American youth
Every country
has its heroes. The heroes are the people the nation and especially the young
people admire. 61_____
Today in
American ,if you ask the high school students to list their heroes, their choices
would probably fall into three groups. The first groups would be the rock
star—the people connected with rock music. There are no doubt that such people do have talent but one wonders if
one should hold up rock stars as a model. The rock star too often are mixed up
with drugs and their personal life is not all that good. The rock stars are
rich and wear the latest fashion styles. 62_____.
A second type
of hero for the American youth is the sports stars. Again you have a person who
has a great ability in one area- sports. However, too often the personal life
of the sports stars is a bit of disorder. 63_____.
A third type of
hero is the TV or movie stars. These people may have lots of acting talent and
quite handsome. However, the personal life of too many actors quite sad and
they should not be held up as a model of young people. Today, the rock stars ,
the athlete, and the actor all have become the model of the youth in American.
Really, do you hear a young people say that his hero is a doctor, a teacher, or
a scientist? These people are not rich and do not wear fashionable clothes. 64_____.
65______. They like to wear the same clothes and followed their styles. If
the heroes of today for the American young people are limited only to rock
stars, athletes and actors, the future does not look too bright.
A.
However, they are talented
people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone.
B.
If you get a list of the heroes
of a nation, it will tell you the potential of that nation.
C.
Unfortunately, many young people don’t
know who the real heroes are.
D.
Too frequently drugs and
drinking are a part of their life.
E.
What is really sad is that the
young try to imitate their heroes.
F.
However , one should seek more
in a hero than such things as money
and good clothes.

四阅读理解
41. B（细节理解题。从第一段第二、三行可以找到答案）。
42. C（辨别正误题。根据第三段的“Nearly 15,000 plant species are native to Yunnan Province”可以判断C项错误，而其他三项的表述都可从文中找出证据证明它们是正确的，所以答案是C项。）
43. A（细节理解题。从末段的第二、三行可以得知答案。）
44. D（观点态度题。末段第一行表明了作者对旅游业的看法是兼顾利与弊，这才是最客观的观点，所以正确答案是D项。）
45. C 从第一段第一句话可以看出，哈雷的发现是在研究其他科学家的观察中得出的，其它选项与本文内容不符。
46. B 首先确定彗星下次出现的时间是1758年，然后确定这一事件距离他预测的时间是53年，再用1758减去53年就可以得出正确答案。
47. D 通读全文，就可以看出全文的大意，文章的每一段都在介绍哈雷及他的发现，另外也可以从文章的首尾句看出本文的主旨大意。
48. C 本文第一句话说哈雷是一个英国科学家，故A项是错误的；从第二句可以看出，哈雷的发现是在研究其他科学家观察的基础上得出的，所以B项是错误的；从第二段最后一句可得知哈雷彗星的轨道是椭圆形的，所以排除D项。本题题材还可以根据自己的常识来选出C项为正确答案。
49. B （文章第一句话“Millions of years ago dinosaurs lived on the earth.”可知恐龙生活于几百万年前。）
50. D（文章第一段介绍恐龙灭绝的一个原因是缺乏食物，而B项是导致食物缺乏的一个原因。）
51. B（第二段介绍恐龙灭绝的另一个原因是出现了更大、更强、更聪明的生物，它们有可能把恐龙杀灭。）
52. C（从文章第三段第二句话“Scientists are trying to make more discoveries about dinosaurs.”可知，科学家正在对恐龙进行更进一步的研究，由此推知恐龙值得研究。）
53. D 细节题。从第1段第2句话The male is the house-hunter but the
female will make the final choice 可以做出正确选择。
54. C 判断题。从第3段第1句I was lucky enough to spot a pair of
redstarts in action in a Walsh wood 和文章第三、四段的内容可知答案为C。
55. D 语义理解题。根据 A few years ago I was lucky enough to…和…you must be at the right place at the
right time to see them 可知答案为D。
56. A 推断题。从文章内容来看，文中不仅提到了鸟的一些习性，而且对雄鸟如何吸引雌鸟入巢了解得很清楚，可见作者可能是一位研究鸟类的专家。
57. B 语义理解题。从第2段内容可知，“诺亚方舟”工程的目标是把濒临灭绝的动物的蛋(卵)、胚胎、精液和DNA储存在液体氮中，如果某一种动物濒临灭绝时，将来可以重现这一动物。
58. A 细节题。从第6段第1句话 The nuclear transfer(核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available
(capable of being used ) panda eggs could be a major problem 可以做出正确判断。
59. C 主旨题。从文章内容来看，无论是中国还是世界克隆熊猫还没有成功，所以排除A、B项；D项内容明显与文章内容不符，故排除。所以“探索克隆熊猫的可能性”应该是这篇文章的标题。
60. D 判断题。此题B项的干扰性较强，但由于它没有说明是Chinese scientists，所以应排除。A、C项明显与原文不符。根据文章第3段第1句可知答案非D莫属。

Dear Mr. Editor,
All the students
of our school are strongly against the construction of a chemical works near
our school. Although it makes a lot of money for our city, we do think it will
do us more harm than good. The drinking water will be badly polluted. And the
air over the city will be polluted, too. We will never be able to breathe fresh
air. How can we live and study here any longer? By the way, it also does harm
to the people living in the neighborhood. Last but not least, the site of the
chemical works has been the only place where we students play games and have
sports after school. If such a factory were built there, where should we go?
