7.Barcelona is regarded as Spain's second largest city,behind capital Madrid.The city is rich in history.Barcelona
was founded by Carthaginians (迦太基人) and according to tradition,it got its name from the great Barker family of ancient Carpage.After numerous different conquers,including theRomans and the Moores that seriously damaged the city,
the Argons made Catalonia,of which Barcelona was the capital strong and prosperous (繁荣的).Since the 1970s,the city has formed its Catalonian background.But it wasn't until the summer Olympics in 1992that Barcelona became the modern,lively city that it still is today.And with this prosperity have come wonderful hotels.The Raewon Callas the 1st was opened in 1992,by the King and Queen of Spain.
What are the attractions of coming to Barcelona?
There are many,many different attractions:culture,our architectures,and the gastronomy (美食).Barcelona has commercial areas and shopping areas of five kilometers that goes around to the sea to the north.You can also see our architectures,our monuments,our museums and our restaurants.So there is a mix between shopping and services.
No visit to the city would be complete without a tour of the Nou Camp,the home of one of Spain's finest teams,Barcelona Football Club.FC Barcelona was founded in 1899along with the other Spanish team,Real Madrid.It's one of the greatest football teams in Europe.With players like Maradona and Ronaldo having played for Barca,it's easy to explain their success!FC Barcelona is known to have won more cups than any other team in European football history.The stadium,the Nou Camp,can hold one hundred and twelve thousand people,making it one of the greatest places to watch and play"the beautiful game".
29.The first paragraph is mainly about theA of Barcelona.
A.history                
B.famous buildings
C.big events                
D.hotels
30.In the last paragraph,the author intends toC.
A.highly praise Barcelona Football Club
B.tell us how to end our tour in Barcelona
C.tell us another great attraction of Barcelona
D.tell us the great success of Spanish football
31.This passage is most probably taken fromD.
A.a history book          
B.a government document
C.a geography book                
D.a travel book.

17.Before Alaska became part of the U.S.,it had been owned by Russia.Trading posts and small settlements were scattered along the coast.The rest of land was left unexplored.The Russians were mainly interested in the wealth of furs from the vast herds of seals they found there.
    By the mid-1800's,most of the seal herds had been wiped out,and Russia no longer wanted to keep Alaska.William Seward,Secretary of State for President Johnson,believed the United States should buy Alaska from Russia.President Johnson wasn't so sure it was a wise way to spend U.S.money,but he agreed to let Seward discuss it with the Russians.Acting quickly,Seward made a deal.On March 30,1867,he signed an agreement for the U.S.to pay seven million dollars for the land.
    Many people thought it was a foolish waste of America's money.They called the deal"Seward's folly".Then gold was discovered in Alaska and public opinion changed quickly.
Seward did not live to see the true value of Alaska.He died in 1872,five years after making the purchase (购买).Each year,Alaska's natural resources have brought in many times the $7,000,000 paid for it.Natural gas,coal,oil,lumber,seafood and other minerals,besides the gold first found,have made it a valuable addition to the United States.In 1959,Alaska became the 49th state of the United States.
69.The Russians wanted to sell Alaska becauseC.
A.they thought it wasn't a good place     
B.they thought it didn't belong to Russia
C.they couldn't find enough seals there
D.they wan ted to earn more money from the U.S.

A.he wasted U.S.money      
B.it had its true value
C.it was a successful deal      
D.he was clever
71.Which of the following things was found first in Alaska?D
A.Gas.B.Coal.C.Oil.D.Gold.
72.Before 1959,the United States hadB.
A.37 states        B.48 states   C.49 states         D.50 states
73.The best title for this passage would probably beD.
A.Alaska,a beautiful place     
B.Alaska with natural resources
C.Alaska,home to seals       
D.Alaska,the 49th state of the U.S.
18.So hungry do some plants get that they eat flies,spiders,and even small frogs.What's more amazing is that these plants occur naturally (in special environments) in every state.In fact,they're found on every continent except Antarctica.
You've probably seen a Venus'flytrap.It's often sold in museum gift stores,department stores,and even supermarkets.A small plant,it grows 6to 8inches tall in a container.At the end of its stalks (茎) are specially modified leaves that act like traps.Inside each trap is a lining of tiny trigger (触发) hairs.When an insect lands on them,the trap suddenly shuts.Over the course of a week or so,the plant feeds on its catch.
The Venus'flytrap is just one of more than 500species of meat-eating plants,says Barry Meyers-Rice,the editor of the International Carnivorous ( 食肉的 ) Plant Society's Newsletter.Note:Despite any science-fiction stories you might have read,no meat-eating plant does any danger to humans.
Dr.Meyers-Rice says a plant is meat-eating,only if it does all four of the following:"attract,kill,digest,and absorb"some form of insects,including flies,butterflies,and moths.Meat-eating plants look and act like other green plants---well,most of the time.
All green plants make sugar through a process called photosynthesis (光合作用).Plants use the sugar to make food.What makes"meat-eating"plants different is their bug-catching leaves.They need insects for one reason:nitrogen (氮).Nitrogen is a nutrient that they can't obtain any other way.While almost all green plants on our planet get nitrogen from the soil,"meat-eating"plants can't.They live in places where nutrients are hard or almost impossible to get from the soil because of its acidity.So they've come to rely on getting nitrogen from insects and small animals.In fact,nutrient-rich soil is poisonous to"meat-eating"plants.Never fertilize them!But don't worry,either,if they never seem to catch any insects.They can survive,but they'll grow very slowly.
24.According to the passage,carnivorous plantsB.
A.only grow in wild field    
B.cannot grow on Antarctica
C.are as common as flies       
D.are rare to see

A.its numerous long and thin stalks
B.a container where it grows
C.the lining of tiny trigger hairs
D.its insect-catching leaves
26.We can conclude from the third paragraph thatB.
A.carnivorous plants are dangerous
B.carnivorous plants are harmless to humans
C.carnivorous plants occasionally eat books
D.carnivorous plants are fictional
27.In the eyes of the author,which of the following statements is TRUE?A
A.Carnivorous plants can grow in nutrient-poor soil.
B.Carnivorous plants cannot grow in acid soil.
C.Carnivorous plants will die if they cannot catch any insects.
D.Carnivorous plants can get nitrogen from nutrient-rich soil.
15.The Israeli farmers who pioneered the revolutionary technology known as drip irrigation weren't trying to solve one of the world's most urgent problems.They were just trying to survive.They lived in the desert,and they didn't have enough water to grow their crops.
In its simplest form,it was little more than a pipe with holes in it.But behind each hole was a hi-tech dripper that let out just the right amount of water.Snaked along a row of crops so that the holes were positioned directly above the roots,the pipe could direct each precious drop of water directly to the plants,getting a bigger harvest while using a very small amount of the water.
Over time,the farmers improved upon the technology,perfecting the drippers that regulated the flow of water,and connecting the pipelines to computers that could determine exactly how much water each plant needed and when.
If the global population kept growing,the rest of the world would increasingly resemble their little community in the desert.So they began selling their irrigation systems in other parts of the world,eventually expanding to more than 110countries.Netafirm,the company says it's lifting people out of poverty and conserving water at a time when the importance of doing so has never been clearer.
The mass adoption of drip irrigation won't save the world by itself.To avoid the coming catastrophe,nearly everybody will,in some way,have to do more with less,perhaps through accepting and using other new technologies.Otherwise,it's going to get ugly.
32.Why is drip irrigation called"the revolutionary technology"?C
A.It saves the world all by itself.        
B.It is controlled by computers.
C.It makes irrigation more effective.    
D.It provides deserts with water.
33.What does"one of the world's most urgent problems"in Paragraph l refer to?A
A.lacking water.  
B.lacking labor.    
C.lacking food. 
D.lacking energy.
34.How does the drip irrigation help farmers with crops?B
A.By drilling holes on the pipes.    
B.By regulating water via drippers.
C.By snaking pipes along the crops.
D.By placing pipes just above roots.
35.Which of the following will be the best slogan for Netafirm to sell the irrigation systems?A
A.Less water;More harvest.    
B.New technology;New world.
C.More grain;Less starvation.
D.Water saving;World surviving.
2.A group of kids at McIntyre Elementary School,in Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania,have created a special bench to make sure their fellow classmates aren't left out on the playground.Called the"Buddy Bench",students can use the seat as a safe and supportive place to let others know they'd like to be included in playtime,but may be too shy to ask.
The concept of the Buddy Bench is simple:Students who want to partake in playground games and activities,but may feel hesitant,can take a seat,which signifies(表明) to other children on the playground that they may need something extra to encourage them to participate.
The idea for the bench came about last year,when Farrell,school counselor at McIntyre Elementary,was conducting a leadership group to help students overcome shyness and gain confidence.Four fourth-grade students came up with the idea for the Buddy Bench in this workshop,and worked with Farrell to draft a letter to present to the Parent Teacher Staff Organization to make the bench a reality.The PTSO approved the students'proposal,and installed(安装) a bright metal bench with a cheerful sign that reads"Buddy Bench"on the school's playground.
Since it was installed on Nov.16,the bench has been effective.The simple concept has resonated with(引起共鸣) the students,and already has created a better environment within the school community.
"Each day,I go to see the buddy bench working,"Farrell said."The lessons they are learning now will benefit them their entire lives.It is simply a beautiful example of kids wanting to be kind and continue to be kind every day."
32.Who is Buddy Bench created for?C
A.Students who love games and activities.
B.Students who want and continue to be kind.
C.Students who are left out on the playground.
D.Students who are in Farrell's leadership group.
33.Who thought of the idea for the Buddy Bench?B
A.Farrell.
B.Four students.
C.The PTSO.
D.Some parents.
34.What does the word"they"in the last paragraph refer to?C
A.The PTSO.
B.Buddy Bench users.
C.The workshop members.
D.Farrell and teachers.
35.Which of the following statements can show"the bench has been effective"?D
A.More and more creative ideas have come up.
B.The workshop kids have set a good example.
C.The PTSO has decided to provide more buddy benches.
D.Some shy students have found friends on the playground.
12.A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly.The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech systems.Designed to do what a fly does naturally,the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly.Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.
"It's extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components(元件),"said Robert Wood,the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade.A few years ago,his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components."The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,"he said.
They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly."The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components,each of which individually has to perform well,but then has to be matched well to everything it's connected to,"said Wood.The flight device was built into a set of power,computation,sensing and control systems.Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.
While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small,off-board power source,the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source,so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites,in farmers'fields or on the battlefield."Basically it should be able to take off,land and fly around,"he said.
Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale.Yet,the power,sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications."You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions,you know,to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals,but using these robots instead,"he said."So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day-to-day basis."
28.The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was thatC.
A.they had no model in their mind
B.they did not have sufficient time
C.they had no ready-made components
D.they could not assemble the components
29.It can be inferred from paragraphs 3and 4that the robotic flyB.
A.consists of a flight device and a control system
B.can just fly in limited areas at the present time
C.can collect information from many sources
D.has been put into wide application
30.Which of the following can be learned from the passage?D
A.The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects.
B.Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.
C.There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.
D.Wood's design can replace animals in some experiments.
31.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?C
A.Father of Robotic Fly
B.Inspiration from Engineering Science
C.Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect
D.Harvard Breaks Through in Insect Study.
14.In Silicon Valley,it's never too early to become an entrepreneur.Just ask 13-year-old David Moore.The eighth-grader has launched a company last October to develop low-cost machines to print Braille(布莱叶盲文).David built a Braille printer with a Lego Mindstorms EV3 kit as a school science fair project last year after he asked his parents a simple question:How do blind people read?"Google it,"they told him.David then did some online research and was shocked to learn that Braille printers cost at least 2,000-too expensive for most blind readers."I just thought that price should not be there.I know that there is a simpler way to do this,"said David,who demonstrated how his printer works at the kitchen table where he spent many late nights building it.David wants to improve the"Braigo"-a name that combines Braille and Lego-and develop a  Braille printer that costs around 350 and weighs just a few pounds,compared with current models that can weigh more than 20 pounds."My end goal would probably be having most of the blind people…using my Braille printer,"said David,who lives in the Silicon Valley suburb of Santa Clara,just minutes away from Intel headquarters.
     After the Braigo won numerous awards and enthusiastic support from the blind community,David started Braigo Labs last summer with an initial 35,000 investment from his dad."We as parents started to get involved more,thinking that he's on to something and this new way process has to continue,"said his father,Matthew Moore,an engineer who works for Intel.
Intel officials were so impressed with David's printer that in November they invested an undisclosed sum in his start-up.They believe he's the youngest entrepreneur to receive venture capital money invested in exchange for a financial stake in the company."He's solving a real problem,and he wants to go off and challenge an existing industry,"said Edward Ross,director of Inventor Platforms at Intel.Now the company is using the money to hire professional engineers and advisers to help design and build Braille printers based on David's ideas.It aims to have a prototype (样机) ready for blind organizations to test this summer and have a Braigo printer on the market later this year.

66.Which of the followings is NOT the description of Braigo?C
A.The name"Braigo"comes from Braille and Lego.
B.The blind are in favor of the new type of printer.

15.A wood fire can be handy when you're camping.You can roast marshmallows or stay warm,for example.Forest fires that rage out of control,however,are a big problem.
Wildfires cause hundreds of millions of dollars in damage every year.And the amount of destruction has grown over the last 2 decades,especially in the western United States.
To understand better why the northern Rocky Mountains region has been hit especially hard by wildfires,scientists from the University of Arizona in Tucson looked at weather,snow,and fire records from 1970 to 2003.^
Their study showed that,between 1987 and 2003,fires burned an area 6.5 times larger than the area burned between 1970 and 1986.The fire season also started earlier-,and its average length increased by 78 days.
Warmer spring and summer temperatures appear to be part of the explanation for this change.The average temperature in the study's more recent period was 0.871 higher than it was in the earlier period.And this trend is likely to continue.Experts predict that average summer temperatures may rise between 2¾and 5¾by the year 2050 in western North America.‘
Hie timing of snowmelt appears to be another cause of the fire boom.When snow melts early in the season,forests become drier through the summer and catch fire and burn more easily.Western snow packs now typically melt a week to a month earlier than they did 50 years ago,according to recent studies.
Some people have blamed the growing fire risk on policies that allow bush and branches to build up on forest floors.But clearing bush by itself won't help much if changes in climate are largely responsible for increasingly severe forest fires.
43.The main purpose of studying the records from 1970 to 2003 was toD.
A.find out solutions to forest fires
B.prevent wildfires from happening frequently-
C.know more about the climate changes in the past decades
D.find out the causes of wildfires in the northern Rocky Mountains region
44.Scientists fix>m the University of Arizona found out the following EXCEPTD
A.western snow packs melt earlier than they did 50 years ago
B.fires burned larger area between 1987.and 2003 than between 1970 and 1986
