Trees are knocked down. Natural resources are used up. That’s what makes the Galapagos Islands（加拉帕格斯群岛） so special – it’s one of the few places on the Earth that nature can truly call its own.‎ A visit to the Galapagos is a real eye-opening experience. Over 1,600 km west of Ecuador（厄瓜多尔）, the islands are home to a unique variety of animals that have absolutely no fear of people. Visitors can play on the beach with sea lions and giant sea turtles, swim with dolphins and whales, and get close enough to the penguins to count the eggs in their nests.‎ The islands were declared a national park over 40 years ago, and the number of human visitors is tightly limited to avoid ‎ damaging the environment or putting stress on the animals. Tourists have to pay $100 for the daily fee, and can’t step off the boat unless accompanied by an official guide. Once on the islands, you have to stay on the special car. The animals are so curious about people that they’ll usually come up to say hello.‎ ‎“It’s a little like being in a zoo,” said one traveler. “But instead of us looking at the animals, the animals are looking at us.”‎ Besides the wildlife, one of the islands’ more unusual features is its post office. You can send postcards for free, but the problem is that there’s no postman to collect them. Instead, travelers pick up mail addressed to people who live near them back home and then hand-deliver the postcards when their trip is finished.‎ ‎21. The Galapagos Islands are _______.‎ A. terribly polluted B. in the Atlantic Ocean ‎ C. near Ecuador D. independent of Ecuador ‎22. Which animal is NOT mentioned in the passage? _______.‎ A. Whales B. Sea lions C. . Dolphins D. Goats ‎23. On the Galapagos Islands the mail is delivered by _______.‎ A. the government B. the post office ‎ ‎ C. the tourists D. the guides ‎24. What would be the best title for the passage? _______.‎ A. Human and Nature B. A Special “Zoo”‎ C. Go Head to Head D. Ecuador – An Island Country ‎25. What is one of the islands’ more unusual features? _______.‎ A. There are some postmen to collect letters ‎ B. There are only the wild animals on the islands C. You need to buy stamps to send letters ‎ D. Travelers deliver the letters by themselves ‎ B Sydney – Mobile phone has become a problem for middle schools. Some middle schools in Australia have banned students from carrying mobile phones during school hours.‎ Mobile phone use among children is now a problem this year. Several children have got mobile phones as Christmas gifts from their friends, and more students want them.‎ Mary, an official, said mobile phone use is a distraction（分心）to students during school hours and it also gives teachers so much trouble in their classrooms. Teachers were also saying that sometimes students might use phone messages to cheat during exams. She said some schools had tried to ban mobile phones. Some parents felt unhappy because they couldn’t get in touch with their children.‎ Many teachers said students should not have mobile phones at school, but if there was a good reason, they could leave their phones at school offices. They also said there were many reasons why the students should not have mobile phones at school: they were easy to lose and were a distraction from studies. Many people say that they understand why parents would want their children to have phones, but they think schools should let the students know when they can use their mobile phones.‎ ‎26. Some middle schools in Australia have banned students from carrying mobile phones _______.‎ A. because they are students B. when they are free ‎ C. because they are young D. when they are at school ‎27. We know from the passage that some children get mobile phones from _______.‎ A. the makers and sellers B. their parents and friends C. some other strangers D. some mobile phone users ‎28.

The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to _______.‎ A. many teachers B. some messages ‎ C. mobile phones D.some students ‎30. The topic mainly talked about in the passage is _______.‎ A. why the students should not use mobile phones in some Australian schools B. when the students of some Australian schools can use their mobile phones ‎ C. whether the Australian students can have mobile phones at school D. how some parents feel when their children should not carry mobile phones C Why do we laugh? For years scientists have asked themselves this question. No animals laugh and smile – only human beings, so does laughing help us to live longer? The answer seems to be that smiling and laughing help us to become calm and less worried, preventing illness which are caused by stress. Laughing is really the best medicine.‎ Scientists in California asked a group of students to act five different feelings: happiness, sadness, anger, surprise and fear – just using their faces. Changes in their heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature were recorded. Most of the feelings they acted didn’t cause changes, but when the students smiled their heart rate and their blood pressure went down. That happened even though they were only acting! So even if we feel ‎ sad inside, smiling makes us feel better.‎ Now, what makes us laugh? The answer to the question is far from simple. Everyone likes jokes, but we don’t laugh at the same ones. It depends largely on how old we are. There’s a kind of jokes, for example, which children love but older people might not find funny. ‎ ‎31. In the passage, the writer seems to pay more attention to _______.‎ A. comparison between human beings and animals B. how laughing and smiling are connected with health C. the degree to which laughing and smiling are harmful D. finding out if any research has been done about laughing ‎32. The passage tells us that smiling and laughing ______.‎ A. have nothing to do with heart rate B. do no good when someone is sad C. lower one’s blood pressure ‎ D. lower the temperature of the body ‎33. In the first paragraph, the underlined word “stress” can be best explained as “_______”.‎ A. pressure and worry B. work and duties ‎ C. happiness and sadness D surprise and fear. ‎ ‎34. It is _______ to answer the question “What makes us laugh?”‎ A. really simple B. a funny joke C. an interesting matter D. not easy at all ‎35. Why did the scientists in California ask students to act five different feelings? ______.‎ A. They wanted to test the changes of their blood pressure B. They wanted to test the changes of their heart rate C. They would like to record their body temperature D. They tested the effect of laughing and smiling on health 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 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。‎ What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? 36 .‎ We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. 37 . Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. 38 . If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.‎ ‎ 39 . According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. 40 , such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”‎ A. Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children B. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent C. It needs exercise D. These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear E. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children F. A person often thinking about difficult problems is more likely to become a genius G. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion ‎ ‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共三节）‎ 第一节：完形填空 (共30小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从41～60各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。‎ Many Chinese youth enjoy American country music or Western pop songs.
