(Text 10) 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 7 W：Satellites found the coldest place on earth.⑰ The temperature is minus 93.2 degrees Celsius on part of Antarctica. Scientists need to test the data more. Researchers say the real temperature could be one degree colder. ⑱The coldest temperature found before this was minus 89.2 degrees Celsius, also in Antarctica. Scientist Dr.Ted Scambos said it was hard to imagine such cold weather. Antarctica is 50 degrees colder than Siberia. ⑲The moon was once minus 238 degrees Celsius. The temperatures of the satellites measured won't be in the Guinness Book of Records. ⑳Scientists must use a thermometer and take the temperature a few centimeters above the ice. The temperatures of the satellites were a few centimetres above the ice. Dr.Scambos said he was sure that the satellites' temperatures are accurate. He also said it was too cold for a thermometer to work. He said it was so cold that people couldn't breathe the air. When scientists go outside, they must wear a special mask that goes inside their coat. They breathe the warm air close to their skin. 第二节到此结束。 第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分 40 分) 第一节(共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分) 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。 A The Coral Sea is home to an amazing variety of turtles, sharks, whales, dolphins, large fish, birds, corals, plants, and many other species. Many of these species are endangered elsewhere in the world, but still survive in the healthy environment of the Coral Sea. The Coral Sea is a large series of coral reefs located off the northeast coast of Australia. This area is three times larger than Australia's famous Great Barrier Reef, which the Coral Sea borders. The Coral Sea is one of the few coral reef environments that have remained largely undamaged by over－ fishing， oil and gas exploration and pollution. However, statistics show that coral reefs around the world are disappearing five times faster than rainforests. It is very likely that in the near future the Coral Sea will face the same threats to its existence. The Australian government is currently looking at options for protecting the Coral Sea but has made no decisions. Environmentalists are pushing for laws to declare the Coral Sea area a marine protected area. This world mean a large “no－take zone” for fishermen, a no－exploration zone for gas and oil companies and a no－dump zone 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 8 for pollution. This would make the Coral Sea a marine park larger than any in the world. We can write letters to Australian leaders, Australian environmental protection agencies, and Australian friends, to let them know that people worldwide support this protection of the Coral Sea. To lose this last great marine wildness world would be a loss for the whole world.

A．To teach people how to protect the Coral Sea. B．To call for the public awareness to protect the Coral Sea. C．To show the amazing features of the Coral Sea. D．To explain the function of the Coral Sea. 【解析】 B 主旨大意题。文章第一段说明了珊瑚海的重要性，第二段说明了珊瑚海 的位置，第三段提出了珊瑚海面临威胁的状况，第四段描述了澳大利亚政府保护珊瑚海的措 施。再结合第五段开头的 We can write letters to Australian leaders 可知，作者写作本 文的目的是呼吁公众保护珊瑚海，故选 B项。 22．You can most probably read this passage ________. A．in a guidebook B．on a website C．in a science textbook D．on a TV show 【解析】 B 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句 For more information, click Here please. “想要更多的信息，请点击这里”。即可判断，这篇文章应该出现在网络上，故选 B 项。 23．What is the most important reason for protecting the Coral Sea? A．The Coral Sea, home to many species, will disappear soon. B．The Coral Sea is rich in oil and gas. C．The Coral Sea is three times larger than Great Barrier Reef. D．The Coral Sea will be a marine park larger than any in the world. 【解析】 A 细节理解题。根据文章第三段可知，如果现在对珊瑚海不加保护，它将 会很快消失掉，故选 A项。 24．Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage? 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 9 A．The reason for protecting the Coral Sea. B．The way to protect the Coral Sea. C．The location of the Coral Sea. D．The money－raising for saving the Coral Sea. 【解析】 D 细节理解题。根据文章第三段可知 A 项(保护珊瑚海的原因)被提及；文 章第二段重点说明了珊瑚海的位置；文章第四、第五段重点说明了保护珊瑚海的方式。只有 D 项没有被提到。 B We've considered several ways of paying to cut in line: hiring line standers, buying tickets from scalpers(票贩子), or purchasing line－cutting privileges directly from, say, an airline or an amusement park. Each of these deals replaces the morals of the queue(waiting your turn) with the morals of the market(paying a price for faster service)． Markets and queues－paying and waiting—are two different ways of allocating things, and each is appropriate to different activities. The morals of the queue, “First come, first served，” have an egalitarian(平等主义的) appeal. They tell us to ignore privilege, power, and deep pockets. The principle seems right on playgrounds and at bus stops. But the morals of the queue do not govern all occasions. If I put my house up for sale, I have no duty to accept the first offer that comes along, simply because it's the first. Selling my house and waiting for a bus are different activities, properly governed by different standards. Sometimes standards change, and it is unclear which principle should apply. Think of the recorded message you hear, played over and over, as you wait on hold when calling your bank：“Your call will be answered in the order in which it was received.” This is essential for the morals of the queue. It's as if the company is trying to ease our impatience with fairness. But don't take the recorded message too seriously. Today, some people's calls are answered faster than others. Call center technology enables companies to “score” incoming calls and to give faster service to those that come from rich places. You might call this telephonic queue jumping. Of course, markets and queues are not the only ways of allocating things. Some goods we distribute by merit, others by need, still others by chance. However, the tendency of markets to replace queues, and other nonmarket ways of allocating goods 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 10 is so common in modem life that we scarcely notice it anymore. It is striking that most of the paid queue－jumping schemes we've considered—at airports and amusement parks, in call centers, doctors' offices, and national parks—are recent developments, scarcely imaginable three decades ago. The disappearance of the queues in these places may seem an unusual concern, but these are not the only places that markets have entered. 体裁：议论文 题材：社会现象 主题：市场与排队 语篇导读：本文是作者对“分配事情的道德标准”的见解。 25．According to the author, which of the following seems governed by the principle “First come, first served”？ A．Taking buses. B．Buying houses. C．Flying with an airline. D．Visiting amusement parks. 【解析】 A 细节理解题。根据第二段后两句和第三段第一句可知，该原则(先到的先 招待)适用于排队等车，所以答案选 A 项。 26．The example of the recorded message in Paragraphs 4 and 5 illustrates ________. A．the necessity of patience in queuing B．the advantage of modern technology C．the uncertainty of allocation principle D．the fairness of telephonic services 【解析】 C 推理判断题。从第四段的第一句和第四、五段的内容可知，这两段提到 的电话留言的例子是为了说明分配原则的不确定性，所以答案选 C 项。 27．The passage is meant to ________. A．justify paying for faster services B．discuss the morals of allocating things C．analyze the reason for standing in line D．criticize the behavior of queue jumping 【解析】 B 写作意图题。从第一段的最后一句及全文内容可知，本文主要讲的是市 场与排队在需要分配时存在的一些道德现象，所以答案选 B项。 C Two new studies suggest that modem running shoes could increase the risk of injuries to runners. One study involved sixty－eight healthy young women and men who ran at least 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 11 twenty－four kilometers a week. The runners were observed on a treadmill machine(跑 步机). Sometimes they wore running shoes. Other times they ran barefoot(赤脚)． Researchers from the JKM Technologies Company in Virginia, the University of Virginia and the University of Colorado did the study. They found that running shoes create more stress that could damage knees, hips and ankle joints than running barefoot. They observed that the effect was even greater than the effect reported earlier for walking in high heels. The study appeared in the official scientific journal of The American Academy of Physical Medicine. The other study appeared in the journal Nature. It compared runners in the United States and Kenya. The researchers were from Harvard University in Massachusetts, Moi University in Kenya and the University of Glasgow in Scotland. They divided the runners into three groups. One group had always run shoeless. Another group had always run with shoes. And the third group had changed to shoeless running. Runners who wear shoes usually come down their heel first. That puts great force on the back of the foot. But the study found that barefoot runners generally land on the front or middle of their foot. That way they ease into their landing and avoid striking their heel. Harvard's Daniel Lieberman led the study. He says the way most running shoes are designed may explain why those who wear them land on their heel. The heel of the shoe is bigger and heavier than other parts of the shoe, so it would seem more likely to come down first. Also, the heel generally has thick material under it to soften landings. But the researchers do not suggest that runners immediately start running barefoot. They say it takes some training. And there can be risks, like running when your feet are too cold to feel if you get injured. The study was partly supported by Vibram, which makes a kind of footwear that it says is like running barefoot. The findings have gotten a lot of attention. But the researchers say there are many problems in the way the press has reported in their paper. So they have tried to explain their findings on a Harvard Website. 体裁：说明文 题材：介绍说明 主题：提倡光脚跑步 语篇导读：一项新的研究表明，穿着跑鞋跑步其实对身体并不好，赤脚跑步反而可以在 一定程度上避免奔跑带来的损伤。 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 12 28．What's the main idea of the passage? A．Walking in high heels could cause less serious effects than running barefoot. B．Two new discoveries encourage people to run in high heels. C．Running in shoes is partly good to runners. D．Two new studies prove running without shoes is less risky to runners in most cases. 【解析】 D 主旨大意题。第一段点出了文章的主题：穿跑鞋跑步会增加受伤的风险。 在下文的试验中多次提到赤脚跑步的损伤较小。由此可推断本文的主旨大意是赤脚跑步对运 动员来说风险较小，故选 D项。 29．Which part of our body could be injured if we run in running shoes? A．Toes. B．Hips. C．Feet. D．Legs. 【解析】 B 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句可知，应选 B 项。 30．What can we learn from the passage? A．The way that we run by landing on the front or middle of our foot could avoid damaging our heel. B．We should start running barefoot in no time. C．Running in modern running shoes could cause more serious effects than running in high heels. D．We won't be injured if we run barefoot. 【解析】 A 推理判断题。根据第八段第三至四句可知，赤脚跑步是前脚掌先落地， 这样可以避免给脚后跟造成更多的压力，故 A项正确。 31．What is the writer's attitude toward the use of the modem running shoes? A．Persuasive. B．Negative. C．Objective. D．Supportive. 【解析】 C 推理判断题。通篇文章作者都在引用研究结果和专家意见，故只是在客 观陈述事实，而没有发表个人意见，故选 C 项。 D Wanted, Someone for a Kiss We're looking for producers to join us on the sound of London Kiss 100 FM.

Many schools are equipped with video cameras nowadays. __36__ For the students who are studying there, it is just like they're being spied on. Plus for all the students they won't be learning anything from the teacher because they will just be looking at the camera for the whole class. Someone thinks it is good. Schools need to protect children. __37__ I think cameras in school are the best way to go.They can provide proof of who did what and how it happened. They will help the world if everyone got security cameras. I would be happy. __38__ Then a video record is worth a million! Being able to show parents how their child behaves in a classroom would be a “wake up” call for both redemptive and proactive action. A video record would be decisive proof as to what actually happened in a classroom and would save time, money and heartache. It would also, to 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 15 put it frankly, begin a meaningful dialogue. But others think that cameras should not be allowed in classrooms.

Cameras in every classroom would also be a waste of thousands of dollars! Why not just spend money on new things, or anything else that isn't as useless as a camera？ __40__ Yes.

It's true that 61.there exist a lot of differences, but this cannot be an excuse 62.for having a passive attitude toward studying in China. When I came back from the US last year and continued my senior middle school education in China, I sensed many great differences. I thought that school in China was too hard for 63.us(we) students, and that we didn't get to do enough fun exercise except running around playgrounds together. My mom had a long talk with me. After that, I realized that though high school life in China is harder, it can give us 64.more(much). The pressure helps us learn the true meaning of competition 65.before we step into society. It gives us a strong heart and 66.teaches(teach) us to step forward no matter what the 67.reality(real) is. It's like climbing a mountain. You might feel dizzy and nervous, but the top is always there 68.waiting(wait) for you as long as you are strong enough—69.to_take(take) one more step.
