When，where and how? What was the result and what did the speaker want to tell us?‎ In this way，you may understand the passage better．‎ ‎________．It’s important for you to remember some important facts．For example，if the passage is a science report，you should try to remember its findings，and how the scientists got their results．‎ This is also helpful to your listening．‎ ‎61．下面方框中的句子，分别是上文每段空白处的内容，请选择出内容和顺序相符的一项．‎ ‎①Lister to important facts ②Relax yourself ‎③Think when you’re listening ④Listen carefully to the first sentence ‎ A．②③①④ B．④①③② C．②④③① D．①②③④‎ ‎62．What do you need to do before you start listening to something?‎ ‎ A．Get nervous B．Relax C．Get excited D．Talk ‎63．Listen carefully to the first sentence to learn ________ about the whole passage．‎ ‎ A．a lot B．a little C．nothing D．all ‎64．Try to do some thinking ________．‎ ‎ 第 - 8 - 页 共 8 页 ‎ ‎ A．before you’re listening B．after you’re listening ‎ C．when you’re listening D．when you’re reading ‎65．What’s the writer’s purpose of this passage?‎ ‎ A．The writer wants you to relax．‎ ‎ B．The writer wants you to do some thinking．‎ ‎ C．The writer wants you to listen carefully．‎ ‎ D．The writer wants to help improve your listening．‎ ‎（32）‎ There was heavy snow and windy weather in Chicago on Monday，and there was also heavy rain on the west coast of the United States—especially in and around the city of San Francisco．‎ Things were no better on the other side of the world in Australia—there was quite heavy rain in the state of Queensland，with 475mm of rain failing in just five days．‎ In south-west Europe，there was more hot，sunny weather with the town of Jerez de la Frontera in the South of Spain the hottest place．The temperature was 30 degrees，the warmest so far this year．‎ It wasn’t all good news in Europe，however．There was heavy snow in the Balkans，and parts of north-eastern Italy on Monday and Tuesday．Things are getting a little better in the city of Irkutsk，in eastern Siberia，however；the temperature went above zero degrees for the first time since last November．‎ ‎35．It is reported that most of the states and cities had bad weather except ________．‎ ‎ A．the south of Spain B．the north-east of Italy ‎ C．San Francisco D．the parts of Australia ‎36．Why does the report say that it wasn’t all good news in Europe?‎ ‎ A．The temperature was low in Irkutsk．‎ ‎ B．It snowed heavily in the Balkans．‎ ‎ C．There was heavy rain in parts of Italy．‎ ‎ D．It was quite cold in eastern Siberia．‎ ‎37．Which of the following places probably had the biggest amount of rain(雨量)?‎ ‎ 第 - 8 - 页 共 8 页 ‎ ‎ A．San Francisco． B．Queensland．‎ ‎ C．Chicago． D．Jerez de la Frontera．‎ ‎38．What do you think the reading above is?‎ ‎ A．Geography in the world． B．The world environment．‎ ‎ C．The weather in Europe． D．The world weather report．‎ ‎（33）‎ Blue Lagoon—Iceland ‎ Iceland—a country in the North Atlantic near the Arctic Circle—probably isn’t the first place you think of for a perfect beach holiday．But every year，thousands of people take off their clothes and swim at the Blue Lagoon，a beach near the Arctic Circle and just 45 km from the capital city，Reykjavik．The air temperature can be as low as minus 10 degrees：but the water comes from underground and is naturally hot—the usual water temperature is between 35 and 40 degrees．It’s like taking a hot bath in the open air!‎ London Bridge—USA!!!‎ ‎ The earliest London Bridge actually isn’t in London at all... and it doesn’t even pass over a river! American businessman Robert P McCulloch bought the bridge for $2.5 million in 1968 and moved it—stone by stone—across the Atlantic Ocean．He rebuilt it in Lake Havasu City，Arizona—a small town in the middle of the desert，where the temperature is often more than 40 degrees．Nowadays，thousands of tourists come to see the bridge，and there is an English village with watersports facilities，shops and restaurants．‎ The Guggenheim Museums ‎ There are not one but five Guggenheim Museums．Solomon R Guggenheim opened the first collection of modern art in New York in 1959．Another museum opened in Italy，and then，in 1997，two more Guggenheims opened：one in Berlin and the other in the Basque city of Bilbao，in the north-west of Spain．It is now one of Spain’s biggest tourist attractions，and every year hundreds of thousands of people come to see the paintings and other works of art．The newest ‎ 第 - 8 - 页 共 8 页 ‎ ‎ Guggenheim museum is the Virtual Museum--the world’s biggest Internet art gallery(美术馆)．‎ ‎72．What degrees is the usual water temperature of the Blue Lagoon?‎ ‎73．How much did McCulloch pay for the bridge?‎ ‎74．Where will you go if you want to enjoy paintings and other works of art?‎ ‎75．Which place is the hottest in the text?‎ ‎（34）‎ Imagine this：a television screen has the size and thickness of a piece of paper．You carry it around in your pocket and take it out when you want to watch a show．Imagine a guitar so tiny that you can’t see it with the human eye，but you can hear sound when its strings are pulled．‎ ‎ Nanotechnology(纳米技术) is the science that deals with doing things in a very small way，and it is being studied and developed all over the world．Many scientists say nanotechnology will produce the next industrial revolution(工业革命)．‎ ‎ Perhaps nanotechnology will have the biggest influence on medical science．Imagine nanobots(纳米机器人) in medicine．Thousands or even millions of tiny machines can be sent into the human body with specific tasks．For example，they can be designed to find and destroy cancer cells or viruses(病毒)．Other machines may stay in the human body for ever to heap organs(器官) that are not working properly．‎ ‎ When could all of these happen? Scientists predict that most of these are possible in the next 30 years．Thousands of scientists around the world are working on these micro-machines．Nanotechnology is just around the corner．‎ ‎61．The two examples in Paragraph I are used to ________．‎ A．introduce the smallest television ‎ B．introduce a new kind of guitar C．introduce the topic of the passage ‎ D．show how small the world is ‎62．Nanotechnology ________________．‎ A．will cause an industrial revolution ‎ B．deals with things in old ways ‎ 第 - 8 - 页 共 8 页 ‎ C．has studied the whole world ‎ D．was developed many years ago ‎63．The underlined word“they”in the third paragraph refers to(指代)“________”．‎ A．scientists B．human bodies ‎ C．specific tasks D．tiny machines ‎64．The tiny machines ________________．‎ ‎ A．are too small to be repaired ‎ B．can be put in a human body to kill viruses ‎ C．may not work well in a human body ．‎ ‎ D．can take the place of human organs ‎65．The underlined phrase“around the corner”in the last sentence means“________”．‎ A．far away B．at present C．in the near future D．impossible ‎（35）‎ It is said that all dreams serve a purpose(目的)．While there is no agreement among scientists about why we dream，there are many ideas about the different kinds of dreams we have．‎ ‎ One common kind of dream is the repeating dream，in which the same story is repeated again and again，often for many months or even years．Some believe these are a sign people have a problem．in their life and once that problem is gone then the dream will stop．Others think they are a way to help people remember something very Important．‎ ‎ Another well-known kind of dream is the nightmare．The pictures and stories in such dreams make people very afraid and dreamers usually remember them far more clearly than normal dreams．The cause of such dreams may be seeing something terrifying such as a car accident or some deadly snakes．Others think such dreams may be trying to make a person pay attention to something that is dangerous in their life．‎ ‎ Daydreams happen during wake-time when we forget where we are or what we are doing and find ourselves in a made-up story or unreal world．We often daydream when we are doing something that is not interesting or exciting．They help us think about our future．‎ ‎ Lucid dreams are the most fun．These happen when dreamers suddenly understand that they are ‎ 第 - 8 - 页 共 8 页 ‎ ‎ dreaming．Instead of waking up，they stay in the dream and are able to control what happens in the dream as if they are making a movie．‎ ‎51．The underlined word“they”(in paragraph 2) refers to “________”．‎ ‎ A．dreams B．problems C．dreamers D．scientists ‎52．The underlined word“terrifying”(in paragraph 3)is closest in meaning to“________”‎ ‎ A．frightening B．interesting C．disappointing D．amazing ‎53．When might a person daydream? ‎ ‎ A．During a very interesting movie． ‎ ‎ B．While playing at a fun park．‎ ‎ C．While listening to an uninteresting talk． ‎ ‎ D．When making a movie．‎ ‎54．How do we know if we are lucid dreaming?‎ ‎ A．We can remember the dream very clearly．‎ ‎ B．We can control what happens in the dream．‎ ‎ C．We think that the dream is like a movie．‎ ‎ D．We feel very nervous after we wake up．‎ ‎55．What is the best title of the passage?‎ ‎ A．Daydreaming of You B．Enjoy Your Dream ‎ C．What Dreams Mean D．Where Dreams Go ‎（36）‎ To protect the environment，most supermarkets in China will stop providing free plastic bags．If you don’t want to pay money to buy them，you’ll have to bring yore own shopping bag．What kind of bags will be the best to bring? Students in Kunming Xinying Middle School have some good ideas．Recently fifty-four students of the school held an activity in which they made their own environmentally-friendly shopping bags．Most students used old clothes to make their bags．They painted pictures like the Olympic rings on them．But Wang Shuncheng，a Junior 2 boy，chose a different material(材料)．He made his bag with old newspaper．Is a newspaper bag strong enough to hold shopping? Wang says it is，“No problem．I put six bottles of water in the bag，”he said．“It’s strong enough!”‎ ‎ 第 - 8 - 页 共 8 页 ‎ ‎ Chen Lisi，a girl，had a more traditional way to make her bag—she wove(编织) a bamboo bag．It was not an easy job．With her grandfather’s help．Chen spent a whole afternoon making it．She also wove wool(毛线)flowers on the bag．‎ ‎ Making bags was not all the students did．They had another job：to persuade their parents and relatives to use environmentally-friendly shopping bags instead of plastic ones．The school will show the bags so that shops and stores can get some ideas from the students’ work．‎ ‎61．From the passage we know that ________．‎ ‎ A．plastic bags have not been used in supermarkets for some time ‎ B．plastic bags cannot be bought from most supermarkets ‎ C．most supermarkets will stop providing free plastic bags ‎ D．people must bring their own bags when they do shopping in supermarkets．‎ ‎62．Besides the plastic bags，________ other kinds of bags are mentioned in the passage．‎ ‎ A．two B．three C. four D．five ‎63．The main purpose of the activity is ________．‎ ‎ A．to teach the students how to make more shopping bags ‎ B．to get the students to learn to do things by themselves ‎ C．to give the students an environmental protection lesson ‎ D．to get their parents and relatives to use environmentally-friendly shopping bags ‎64．The underlined word“persuade”in the last paragraph probably means ________．‎ ‎ A．劝说 B．指导 C．命令 D．监督 ‎65．The school will show the bags in order to ________．‎ ‎ A．encourage the students ‎ B．make some money ‎ C．get some work for the students ‎ D．give some ideas to shops and stores ‎（31）61-65．CBACD ‎（32）35-38．ABBD ‎ 第 - 8 - 页 共 8 页 ‎ ‎（33）72．Between 35 and 40 degrees. ‎ ‎73．$ 2.5 million ‎74．To the Guggenheim Museums. ‎ ‎75．Arizona.‎ ‎（34）61-65．CADBC ‎（35）51-55．AACBC ‎（36）61-65．CBCAD ‎ 第 - 8 - 页 共 8 页 ‎
