So thousands of5(terrify) people died every time there was6outbreak. John Snow wanted to face the challenge and solve this problem. He knew that cholera would never be controlled until its cause7(find).

He was interested in two8(theory) that possibly explained how cholera killed people. The first suggested that cholera multiplied in the air. A cloud of dangerous gas floated around until it found its victims. The second suggested that people absorbed this disease9their bodies with their meals. From the stomach the disease10(quick) attacked the body and soon the affected person died.

1physician;

2helping

3deadly

4Neither

5terrified

6an

7was found

8theories

9Into/in

10quickly

【解析】试题分析:本文讲的是关于John Snow研究霍乱的事,介绍霍乱的危害和造成霍乱的原因。

1physician考查名词。形容词personal后接名词,personal physician私人医生。故填physician

2helping考查动词。thought about后接动词ing形式。故填helping

4Neither 考查固定搭配。Neither ...nor...既不...又不...,故填Neither

5terrified考查形容词。此处修饰名词people用形容词,terrified people感到恐惧的人们。故填terrified

6an考查冠词。此处outbreak指某类特定事物中的一个,不是特指,outbreak是元音字母开头的单词,故填an

7was found考查动词语态。此处霍乱的起因是被找到的,应用动词被动语态。故填was found

8theories考查名词。theory 理论是可数名词,前加了two表复数,故应用名词复数形式。故填theories

9Into/in考查介词。Into/in表进入,霍乱通过食物进入了人们的身体。故填Into/in

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

Big trees are incredibly important ecologically. For a start, they provide food for countless other species and shelter for many animals. With their tall branches in the sun, they capture vast amounts of energy. This allows them to produce massive crops of fruit and flowers that sustain much of the animal life in the forest.

Only a small number of tree species have the genetic ability to grow really big. The biggest are native to North America, but big trees grow all over the globe, from the tropics to the forests of the high latitudes(纬度). To achieve giant size, a tree needs three things: the right place to establish its seeding, good growing conditions and lots of time with low adult death rate. Lose any of these, and you will lose your biggest trees.

In some parts of the world, populations of big trees are dwindling because their seedings cannot survive. In southern India, for instance, an aggressive non-native bush, Lantana camara, is invading the floor of many forests. Lantana grows so thickly that young trees often fail to take root. With no young trees to replace them, it is only a matter of time before most of the big trees disappear.

Without the right growing conditions, trees cannot get really big and there is some evidence to suggest tree growth could slow in a warmer world, particularly in environments that are already warm. Having worked for decades at La Selva Biological Station in Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui, Costa Rica, David and Deborah Clark and colleagues have shown that tree growth there declines markedly in warmer years. “During the day, their growth shuts down when it gets too warm, and at night they consume more energy because their metabolic(新陈代谢的)rate increases,” explains David Clark. With less energy produced in warmer years and more being consumed just to survive, there is even less energy available for growth.

The Clarks’ theory, if correct, means tropical forests would shrink over time. The largest, oldest trees would progressively die off and tend not to be replaced. According to the Clarks, this might cause a destabilization of the climate; as older trees die, forests would release some of their stored carbon into the atmosphere, causing a cycle of further warming, forest shrinkage and carbon emissions.

Besides, big trees face threats from elsewhere.

【1】 All the following factors are a must for making big trees EXCEPT_________.

A. genetic contribution

B. no deadly damage

C. ideal environment for growth

D. right place to establish its seeding

【2】The word “dwindling”(paragraph3) is closest in meaning to “_______”.

A. exploding B. decreasing

C. changing D. growing

【3】 What is the best title of the passage?

A. Results of big trees’ disappearing.

B. Advantage of big trees.

C. Big trees in trouble

D. Importance of big trees to humans.

【4】What will the author most probably discuss after the last paragraph?

A. Comparison between common trees and big ones.

B. The effect of human activities on big trees.

C. Benefits of big trees to the whole atmosphere.

D. More threats to the existence of big trees.

【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Tips for summer reading

Summer holds many of my strongest and most powerful reading memories. I remember sitting under a tree in the backyard as a child, reading Anne of Green Gables as the shadows crossed the grass. I remember sitting in the back seat of the car on a long family road trip, sharing joke books with my brother and sister and laughing until we cried. 【1】 I want all kids to enjoy the fun of summer reading, because summer reading has secret power. 2__ here are some ways to motivate kids for summer reading.

Make children the curators(管理人)of their reading lives.

Have students set summer reading goals for themselves. 3 Students can act as “chief curators” of the blog in turn so that over the course of the summer each of them takes on the responsibility of replying to posts and highlighting a popular title.

4

Taking “curiosity walks” is a fantastic way to bring informational text into a child’s reading list. These walks also provide opportunities for authentic writing. Have children take an inspiration notebook on a class walk outside and write down anything they see that they would like to learn more about.

Make reading more like summer camp.

Let’s combine reading with hands-on activities and make reading more like summer camp. We can take field trips to the library and search the shelves for books on a topic chosen out of a hat. 5 then they can bring that creation in to share on the/span> first days of school.

A. It will set the stage for academic success.

B. Bring the outdoors back into summer reading.

C. Select some books and share them with your students.

D. Set up a summer blog so you can all share recommendations.

E. These memories became important stepping stones in my life.

F. It is important to build and shape a strong reading life during school months.

G. We can ask our students to create something in response to one of the books they’ve read.
