On the northwest coast，the temperature changes very little between summer and winter，but the north central states have a very different kind of climate. In those states，people wear light clothes in summer，and they need heavy woolen clothes in winter. In the southwest coast，the climate is rainy and warm during the winter，but the summer is dry and hot. In the northeast of the United States，summer temperatures are very different from winter temperatures. Summer is usually hot，and winter is usually cold .Spring temperatures are warm，and fall temperatures are cool. Years ago，people in the cold parts of the United States didn't often get fresh vegetables and fresh fruits during the summer. Today，however，trucks and trains carry fruits and vegetables very quickly to all parts of the United States. In this way，Americans “send their climates” to people in other states. 1. The summer and winter temperatures are almost the same ______. A. in the northeastern states B. on the north central states C. in the western states D. on the northwest coast 2 .Today people ______ can get fresh vegetables and fruits.

In order to repair the house, a Japanese tore open the walls. Japanese houses normally have an empty space between the wooden walls. When pulling down the walls, he found that there was a lizard(蜥蜴) staying there because a nail(钉子) from outside was hammered into one of its feet. He saw this, feeling pity and curious. When he checked the nail, he found it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built.‎ ‎ What happened? The lizard had survived in such a position for 10 years! It has been in a dark wall partition(夹层) for 10 years without moving! Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years without moving a single step—since its foot was nailed! So he stopped his work and observed the lizard: What has it been doing? What and how has it been eating? Later, he didn't know from where another lizard appeared, with food in its mouth. Ah! He was astonished and touched deeply. The free lizard had been feeding it for the past 10 years.‎ ‎ Such love, a beautiful love! Such love happened with this tiny creature… What can love do? It can do wonders! Just think about it: one lizard had been feeding the other for 10 long years, without giving up hope on its partner. If a small creature like a lizard can love like this, just imagine how we can love if we try.‎ ‎4. How did the Japanese feel when seeing the lizard there?‎ A. Frightened B. Enjoyable C. Confused D. Usual ‎5. Why did the Japanese stop his work?‎ A. To watch how long the lizard can still live here.‎ B. To take out the nail and set the lizard free.‎ C. To have a rest by watching the lizard.‎ D.

It teaches us to give more help to our loved ones.‎ C. It tells us to take pity on the stuck lizard.‎ D. It encourages us to live even longer.‎ C ‎ ‎ Noise pollution is doing much harm to our health now. Noise，in fact，is unwanted sound and is a kind of invisible (无形的) killer. More and more students enjoy listening to music very much. When they listen to MP3 players, they like to turn up the volume (音量)．Some people love listening to loud music. Furthermore, while watching TV, they keep the volume up. But they haven't realized that the noise is weakening their hearing. In fact, the noise not only influences each member in the family, but also makes a difference to the comfort of neighbors.‎ ‎ Noise pollution is a source of increasing misery (痛苦) to people in our society. If people are often disturbed by it, they may feel uncomfortable or upset. What's worse, the noise can make people mad sometimes. If a worker works in a printing factory for too long, his/her hearing loss is much faster than a common person working in a quieter environment. So everybody must pay more attention to noise pollution. Generally speaking，the following four types of noise should be watched out for：‎ ‎ ◆Noise in the streetX|k |B| 1 . c|O |m ‎ ◆Construction site (建筑工地) noise ‎ ◆Noise at work ‎ ◆Transportation noise ‎ I think the local department (部门) should take measures to control the noise levels, but it's everybody's duty to keep a quiet environment.‎ ‎( )7．Why is noise called a kind of invisible killer?‎ A. Because we can't see it with our own eyes.‎ B. Because it's really harmful to our health，but people don't realize it.‎ C. Because it often causes people to die.‎ D.

Everybody has a duty to keep a quiet environment.‎ ‎( )11．What's the best title for the passage?‎ A. Different Kinds of Pollution B. The Harm of Noise Pollution C. Hearing Loss D. Our Health D Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing when you are happy.‎ ‎ Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.‎ ‎ Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male（雄性）, claims (声称) as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same animals are welcome. Your house is your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.‎ ‎ If so, you have actually frightened the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting (筑巢) season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.‎ ‎12. Some scientists believe that most of the time bird’s singing is actually ________.‎ A. an expression of happiness B. a way of anger C. an expression of warning D. a way of greeting ‎13. What is a bird’s “territory”?‎ A. A place where families of other animals are accepted.‎ B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.‎ C. An area for which birds fight against each other.‎ D. An area which a bird considers to be its own.‎ ‎14. Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?‎ A. Because they want to invite more friends.‎ B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.‎ C. Because they want to find outsiders around.‎ D. Because their singing helps get rid of their fears.‎ ‎15. What does the underlined word “screaming” in Paragraph 4 mean?‎ A. 尖叫声 B. 令人惊愕的 C. 哭喊声 D. 令人害怕的 第二节：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。（每小题2分，共10分）‎ ‎ Everyone has heard of Groundhog Day (土拨鼠日).16. _________.‎ ‎ People in America think that the groundhog awakens from its winter’s sleep on February 2nd. The groundhog comes out of its hole. If the sun is shining, it will see its shadow. The shadow （影子）scares（吓唬）it. So it runs back into its hole. This means six more weeks of winter. If the day is cloudy, it will not see its shadow. Since it is not scared, it stays out of its hole. 17. _________. These are the same things we say on Groundhog Day today.‎ ‎ 18. _________.
