8.People usually think of fishing as a warm-weather pastime.But some fishers say the activity is best when it is(61)freezing (freeze) outside.Those people are called ice fishermen.When it gets really cold,they are in their element.In parts of the northern United States and all over Canada,ice fishing is a big sport.People wait all year(62)for lakes and rivers in their cities to freeze.They drive trucks and snowmobiles on the ice,cut a hole into the water,and drop a lure.
Here is how it(63)(work):
First,fishers drill a hole in the ice,drop a line into the water and wander around,(64)waiting  (wait).Hopefully,a fish bites the hook at the end of the line.It is just like regular fishing,(65)but  it is done in winter.
The fishermen wear heavy coats and gloves (66)to stay(stay) warm.Some people build small shelters on the ice around(67)the hole.They leave the shacks (窝棚)on the ice all winter,so they can come and go(68)easily (easy).The shelters provide some (69)protection (protect) from the cold and wind.
The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports that by January 5,ice fishing is active.Resorts are busy with those (70)who/that like to catch fish.

分析 本文介绍了美国北部以及加拿大流行的一种娱乐方式--冰下捕鱼.人们一整年就等着河里的水结冰,他们在冰面上开着卡车和摩托雪橇,在冰面上打一个洞,扔下诱饵,等着鱼上钩.钓鱼的人们穿着厚厚的大衣戴着手套来保暖,有的甚至在冰洞周围建起一个窝棚来御寒.

解答 61.freezing    62.for    63.works     64.waiting   65.but
66.to stay       67.the    68.easily    69.protection  70.who/that
61.freezing 考查形容词.freezing意为"极冷的",是形容词做表语,与前面的系动词is 构成系表结构.
62.for 考查介词.wait for是固定动词短语,意为"等待".
63.works 考查动词的时态.本文讲述一个事实,故用一般现在时,主语为it,谓语动词work意为"起作用",用第三人称单数.
64.waiting 考查分词作状语.句子的主语 fishers 与动词wait存在逻辑上的主谓关系,用现在分词形式作伴随状语.
65.but 考查连词.从文中可知,这就像常规的钓鱼是在天气暖和的时候,此处是冬天,表示转折,用but.
66.to stay 考查动词不定式.分析句子可知此处用不定式表示目的.
67.the 考查定冠词.此处hole是第二次提到,要用定冠词the表示特指.
68.easily 考查副词.修饰动词  come and go要用副词,easy的副词形式是easily.
69.protection 考查名词.分析句子结构可知,要用名词形式作动词provide的宾语,protect的名词形式是protection.
70.who/that 考查关系代词.分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句,先行词those指代文中提到的fishermen,关系代词用who/that,在从句中作主语.

19.Persevance,the quality of never giving up when facing great challenges,lies behind every great achievement in anyone's life.With perseverance a lame boy can learn to swim; with persistence a conquered country will win freedom.
Only with strong determination can people fight their way to final victories.Many a famous man has the same experience.They have obtained their status because they have had the will to overcome numerous difficulties.Outstanding athletes go all out to train themselves.Their  w illpower  is beyond imagination.We all have read of great musicians,writers and inventors  have created or discovered breakthroughs recorded in history.Always they have said that they owe all their success to perseverance.As to students,quite a big number of them  have been successful through perseverance.However,acertain group of them just stop half way and their previous efforts turn out to be fruitless.
The  same  is true   of  many rich businessmen.What we usually see are their achievements,but once we go behind the seenes we will find that they have put in a lot of continual steady  efforts Of all countless  exarmples the story of Colonel Saunders is perhaps one of the most
outstanding.The 65-year-old man from Kentucky   had a dream,to start a chain of fried chicken  restaurants all over the world.To rcalize his dream,he knew that he needed a restaurant   to go into partnership with him to open the first restaurant and to fry chicken according to the  secret recipe (配方)he had.Colonel Saunders had knocked on 1008doors before  he finally  found a proper person to co-operate with.It is doubtful whether many of us would have had the perseverance to knock even a hundred doors.
We can conclude that success comes to anyone who keeps working perseveringly  while of perseverance  can only result in frustration and failure.
28.Which of the following is true of perseverance?B
A.Lame boys need it more.
B It means never giving up.
C.Most students lack it.
D.It's more important than effort
29.What can be inferred from the third paragraph?D
A.Saunders succeeded all by himself.
B.Saunders wouldn't knock on 1008doors.
C.Saunders owed his success to his secret recipe.
D.Saunders had failed many times before he succeeded.
30.Which is the key to success according to the passage?C
A.Great imagination.
B.Numerous difficulties.
C.Continual steady efforts.

31.How is the passage mainly developed?C
A.By inferring and comparing.

3.Some parents of elementary school students in America are receiving letters about their children's weight.If a child is found to have a weight problem,his parents will get a letter from the school informing them that their child could be overweight.
And what do students call these notes?"Fat letters."
Kids already have to put up with being frightened or hurt by other kids at school.Now they also have to protect themselves from insults from the adults who work in those schools?
Don't they think that parents know whether their children are overweight?Do we really want to encourage a trend we already see:children going on diets?According to a study by Duke University,more than 40% of 9-and 10-year-old girls have gone on a diet.
In Massachusetts,state lawmakers are considering a bill that bans school from collecting student's weight information.
Many public school educators actually consider themselves to be more enlightened(开明的) than the rest of us.That's why they have spent so much time insisting that we must not label children over their academic performances.They had a point.Schools have been putting labels on students since before the invention of blackboards.Students who might have once been labeled"lazy"simply because"uninterested."Immigrant students who were once considered"limited English proficient(熟练的)"became"English learners."
My wife is a former teacher.She works with students who have difficulty in reading and spelling.The kinds of students she helps were once said to have a"learning disability."We don't say that anymore.Today,acknowledging that human beings process information in a variety of ways,we say that these kids have a"learning difference."
There you go.Academically,the enlightened view nowadays is that all students are different,that their brains are all wired in unique ways,and that it's wrong to try to assess them with a one-size-fits-all standard to determine who is intelligent and who isn't.It is agreed that children's brains come in all shapes and sizes.
So why not be really enlightened and learn to think the same way about children's bodies?

A.Stopping children's secrets from being revealed will become law.
B.Parents will realize their children's weight problem early.
C.People will pay more and more attention to their weight.
D.More and more children will eat less to get thinner.
34.The author mentions his wife's work toD.

13.Coffee is one of the most popular drinks around the world.There are many different types of coffee and experts think that there are more flavors of coffee than there are of wine.Coffee contains caffeine,something that raises our awareness,keeps us from failing asleep or simply gives us a kick in the morning or after lunch.
Food experts,however,are still undecided on how healthy coffee is.For a long time doctors have told people not to drink too much coffee,because it may lead to heart problems,high blood pressure,and headaches.
Scientists have now found out that it is the quality of coffee and the way it is made that hold the key to our health.Elderly people on the Greek island of Ikaria live longer than normal.Among other things,this is linked to the consumption of a strong coffee.Experts also point out that different roasts and types of coffee beans have different effects on our health.Milk and sugar change the different levels of caffeine in a cup of coffee.
A new study by a Harvard research group says that there is no link between coffee and health problems.Drinking several cups of strong coffee a day is not connected with early death or other heart diseases.
Coffee has many advantages,as the new study suggests.While alcohol makes people sleepy and slow moving,coffee gives them energy.Getting together for a cup of coffee is also a form of socializing and has a positive effect on relationships.
Although a lot still needs to be uncovered about coffee,it seems to reduce the risk of cancer and diabetes (糖尿病).Reports show that people who drink coffee may develop Parkinson's disease later in life,or maybe not at all.Doctors think that coffee may have a positive effect on our brain.
24.The underlined phrase"gives us a kick"in Paragraph 1probably meansA.
A.makes us refreshed                  
B.hits us with the foot
C.breaks our legs                         
D.lets us feel painful
25.According to Paragraph 5,coffee has many advantages except thatB.
A.it gives us energy
B.it helps us run faster
C.it is a form of socializing
D.it has a good effect on relationships
26.What can we learn from the passage?D
A.Coffee does harm to our brain.
B.Caffeine cannot keep us awake.
C.Drinking coffee is the key to our health.
D.Coffee may not be connected with health problems.
27.Which can be the best title of this passage?C
A.Coffee and Energy                   
B.Coffee and Wine
C.Coffee and Health                    
D.Coffee and Brain.
7.Relations between the United States and Spain were not very good in 1898.On February 15,a battleship called the USS Maine blew up and sank in the harbor at Havana,Cuba.More than 260Americans were killed.Many Americans thought that Spanish saboteurs (破坏者) had set an underwater mine that caused the explosion.
Witnesses and survivors had different versions of what happened.Some said that they heard two explosions.It was discovered that the magazine-which is a storage place for arms,ammunition(军火),and explosives-had exploded.Questions were raised about what caused the first explosion.Did the first explosion come from outside the ship,causing the magazine to explode?Or,did something on the ship blow up the magazine?
Other witnesses said that there was only one explosion.If they are right,then what on the ship caused the magazine to explode?A theory supporting the two-explosion version was that rebels from Cuba had caused the explosion.The rebels were aware of the bad feelings between the United States and Spain.They would have been willing to cause trouble between the nations to bring an end to Spanish rule in Cuba.
The United States government issued an ultimatum(最后通牒) to the Spanish government to end its occupation of Cuba.When Spanish officials refused,Congress and President William McKinley declared war on Spain.The war did not last long,because the United Sates forced an early surrender.
More than 100years after the explosion of Maine,the cause of the explosion is still unknown.Many questions remain.If an attack from outside the ship caused the magazine to explode,why didn't witnesses see a splash in the water?Why were there no dead fish in the water if there was an external explosion?
With the mystery still unsolved,the question of what really happened to the USS Maine may never be answered.

(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)
81.On February 15,1898,more than 260Americans lost their lives because ofthe explosion and sinking of the USS Maine.
82.According to the passage,the"magazine"was used tostore arms,ammunition,and explosives.
83.According to the two-explosion version,what's the probable purpose of the Cuban rebels to cause the explosion?To cause trouble and end the Spanish rule/occupation.
84.What's the main topic of the passage?The Mystery of the USS Maine./The(possible)causes of the USS Maine's Explosion.
4.The fact that people are no longer tied to specific places for functions such as studying or learning,says William Mitchell,a professor of architecture and computer science at MIT,means that there is"a huge drop in demand for traditional,(51)C,enclosed spaces"such as offices or classrooms,and simultaneously"a huge rise in demand for semi-public spaces that can be informally appropriated to ad-hoc workspaces".This shift,he thinks,amounts to the biggest change in (52)Bin this century.In the 20th century architecture was about (53)Astructures-offices for working,cafeterias for eating,and so forth.This was necessary because workers needed to be near things such as landline phones,fax machines and filing cabinets.
The new architecture,says Mr Mitchell,will"make spaces intentionally(54)C".Architects are thinking about light,air,trees and gardens,all in the service of human connections.Buildings will have much more varied shapes than before(55)B,people working on laptops find it comforting to have their backs to a wall,so hybrid(混合的) spaces may become curvier,with more nooks(角落),in order to (56)Cthe surface area of their inner walls.
"This(57)Dis what separates successful spaces and cities from unsuccessful ones,"says Anthony Townsend,an urban planner at the Institute for the Future,a think-tank.Almost any public space can assume some of these features.For example,a not-for-profit organization in New York has(58)BBryant Park,a once abandoned but charming garden in front of the city's public library,into a hybrid space popular with office workers.The park's managers noticed that a lot of visitors were using mobile phones and laptops in the park,so they (59)AWi-Fi and added some chairs with foldable lecture desks.The idea was not to distract people from the flowers but to let them customize their little bit of the park.
The academic name for such spaces is"third places",a term originally coined by the sociologist Ray Oldenburg in his 1989 book,"The Great,Good Place".At the time,long before mobile technologies became widespread,Mr Oldenburg wanted to (60)Dbetween the sociological functions of people's first places (their homes),their second places (offices) and the public spaces that(61)Asafe,neutral and informal meeting points.As Mr Oldenburg saw it,a good third place makes admission free or cheap-the price of a cup of coffee,say-offers creature comforts,is within walking distance for a particular neighborhood and (62)Da group of regulars.
As more(63)Dplaces pop up and spread,they also change entire cities.Just as buildings during the 20th century were specialized by(64)A,towns were as well,says Mr Mitchell.Suburbs were for living,downtowns for (65)Band other areas for playing.But urban nomadism makes districts,like buildings,multifunctional.Parts of town that were monocultures,he says,gradually become"fine-grained mixed-use neighborhoods".
