题目内容
【题目】It's everyone's duty to protect our environment. And I do believe if all of us pull together, something we can do to improve our living condition.
A.it must beB.there must beC.there must have
【答案】B
【解析】
句意:保护我们的环境是每个人的职责。我相信,如果我们大家齐心协力,我们一定能做些什么来改善我们的生活条件。
考查there be句型。it must be它一定是;there must be一定有;there must have形式错误。根据句意可知,这里表示“一定有一些我们可以做的事”,应用there be句型,此处must表示肯定的推测。故选B。
【题目】Choose the best answer(根据短文内容,选择最恰当的答案)
What will man be like in the future — in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time. Now look at the chart below, and you’ll find some differences.
Body part | Changes | Reasons |
Height | Grow taller | About 3 inches taller than 500 years ago |
Head | Larger | Man uses brains more and more |
Eyes | Grow stronger | |
Arms and legs | Grow weaker | Used less |
Fingers | Grow more sensitive | Used a great deal in modern life |
Hair | Disappear | Does not serve a useful purpose any longer |
Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature(生物) to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be human being, with thoughts and emotions(情感) similar to our owns.

【题目】 The American cowboy was a great hero through facts and stories.
In history, the real cowboy was a simple farm worker on horseback. The work was dirty, tiring and not paid very well. Cowboys had to take care of cows day and night. When they were alone with the cows, they often sang beautiful and peaceful songs to keep the animals calm and overcome their own fear. They were not well-educated, so they sang about their daily life in very simple words. Country Western music became popular first among cowboys in the American west countryside.
The cowboy quickly received popularity. Historians say that this was because the cowboy appeared during a time of change in American life. The cowboy seemed free and more independent than other Americans.
At present, the life of real cowboys has changed greatly. There is no need for the modern cowboys to sleep on the ground. Modern cowboys are paid well and are found in almost every state of the United States. Most modern cowboys do not make much money from raising cattle (牛).
Many do it because they love the cowboy life.
