滨海区2009年一模英语试卷(2)

及听力材料、试卷参考答案

 

C
A few years ago when my boys were young, I homeschooled them. Part of my teaching included community service. At that time the Collierville Library was looking for volunteers to come to serve lunch to some elderly people. So we decided to devote every Tuesday to that. They were a great group of people, all ladies apart from one gentleman. And they enjoyed my buys very much. The ladies were talkative. And the man, Mr. Grady, was quiet and gentle. You could feel his spirit and his eyes were so kind.
He struggled to walk and do some of the simple things we all take for granted but he never gave up. At times, he would ask for assistance, and I was always thrilled to help. Despite his physical need, his mind was sharp, and he loved to play dominos (多米诺骨牌). He was a natural wiz with numbers, was very patient with my boys and enjoyed teaching them how to play.
One day I asked Mr. Grady what his condition was exactly. He told me he had Parkinson’s disease. I truly never gave it another thought because he was NOT his disease! He was Mr. Grady! A very sweet yet strong man who had so much to offer to all those he came into contact with.
Over time I’ve thought back on those days and how glad I am that my boys got to experience this. When I have days when I struggle, I think about Mr. Grady and how Parkinson’s disease was just a small part of who he was.
72.Why did the writer go to the Collierville Library with her boys?
  A.To make friends with Mr. Grady.    B.To learn about Mr. Grady.
  C.To do community service.           D.To make Mr. Grady her boy’s teacher. 
73.   The underlined word “wiz” in Paragraph 2 refers to _____.
  A.something that is natural          B.someone who is gifted at something
  C.something that is played for fun.  D.someone who is good at counting 
74.When the writer was told that Mr. Grady had Parkinson’s disease, she felt _____.
  A.calm   B.frightened   C. amused   D.shocked
75.What did the writer mainly learn from Mr. Grady?
  A.One should take part in as many activities as possible.
  B.One should learn to enjoy oneself while working hard.
  C.One should think back on the past when in trouble.
  D.One should be strong in body and spirit when facing difficulties.
 
D
Eleven-year-old Evan Green doesn’t want to save just one tree --- he wants to save a whole rainforest!
In the Redwood City, California, a boy started a group called the Red Dragon Conservation Team four years ago to do just that. So far, the team’s members have raised $4,500. That’s enough to purchase and protect more than 16 acres of rainforest in Costa Rica through the Center of Ecosystem Survival.
“Every year, thousands of square miles of rainforest are destroyed worldwide. Logging (伐木) and farming are mostly likely to blame,” scientists say. The loss is terrible news for animals and people. Even though rainforests cover less than 2 percent of the earth, they are home to half the world’s plants and animals. Rainforests also provide water and help control the earth’s climate.
Evan’s work to save the rainforests recently earned him a Barton prize for Young Heroes. The prizes are given to children or teenagers who have made a positive difference in the world. Evan’s goal is “to save enough rainforests to last forever”. He won’t have to do it alone. His actions have already inspired other kids to chip in. One girl asked for donations instead of presents on her birthday. She raised $850. Other kids are starting their own conservation teams.
Evan says everyone can help the planet --- even by taking small steps such as recycling. He and his family try to make a difference every day. “We recycle, we try to limit our garbage, we’ve been walking a little more, and we buy local food,” Evan said. 
76.   How much does it cost to buy and protect an acre of rainforest in Costa Rica?
  A. About $ 4,500      B. About $ 850     C. About $ 280     D. About $1,000  
77. The underlined phrase “Chip in” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_____”.
  A. look at                            B. contribute money
  C. ask for birthday presents          D. unite with other kids  
78.   What Evan said in the last paragraph suggests that _____.
  A.we can all do something to protect the earth
  B.actions speak louder than words
  C.we should learn to recycle form now on
  D.a good beginning makes a good ending 
79.What would be the best title for the passage?
  A.Evan Green --- a famous teenager  B.The Red Dragon Conservation
  C.Rainforests are being destroyed   D.Boy gathers support for rainforests
 
Section C
Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
  A.Keep optimistic & active.
  B.Get plenty of exercise.
  C.Stay prepared.
  D.Have a balanced diet.
  E.Keep away from sick people.
  F.Keep drinking water. 
 
“Thanks” to the seasonal change, half of my class went down with colds and flu. You can hear coughs and sneezes everywhere, and the number of suffering students keeps climbing.
A close friend of mine, however, survived the fierce battle, despite the fact that he was surrounded by “victims” all day long. I am not surprised, because we’ve been friends for ages, and he seldom gets sick. The following is his advice.
80              
A long-distance of run in the morning is a good choice. It not only makes you energized for the rest of the day, but also helps to develop good health for the rest of your life.
81              
A balanced diet is essential for health. We should eat a variety of food everyday, because different foods contain different nutrition: rice provides sugar, meat contains energy and fat, vegetables are rich in vitamins and cellulose (纤维素), etc. Fruit and yogurt are also highly recommended, because the former is known for its Vitamin C, and the latter, calcium, which plays a vital role in the growth of our bodies.
82             
Water is one of the most important component of our bodies, and is essential for out metabolism (新陈代谢). We often run out of water without notice, so we should drink water even if we are not thirsty. Also, when we get sick, we should drink more, because when our bodies fight against viruses, it causes us to lose water.
83            
Many diseases like the flu are very likely to be spread among people, so we should keep away from those who are sick. During class breaks, go out and get some fresh air to keep away form the viruses, and open window to get better air circulation.
84             
A person in low spirits is more likely to get sick. A happy mood not only helps people fend off viruses, but also is the best cure for most illness.
Follow the above rules, and you’ll become as strong as a bull! Remember: diseases and viruses are not that frightening as long as you are well prepared.

If you look at the card in your seat pocket, you will see where the emergency exists are. In case of an emergency, an oxygen mask will come down from overhead.

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.

London taxi drivers know the capital like the back of their hands. No matter how small or unclear the street is, the driver will be able to get you there without any trouble. The reason London taxi drivers are so efficient is that they all have gone through a very tough training period to get a special taxi driving license. During this period, which can take two to four years, the would-be taxi driver has to learn the most direct route to every single road and to every important building in London. To achieve this, most learners go around the city on small motorbikes practicing how to move to and from different points of the city. Learner taxi drivers are tested several times during the training period by government officers. The exams are terrible experience. The officers ask you “How do you get from Birmingham palace to the Tower of London?” and you have to take them there in the direct line. When you get to the tower, they won’t say “Well done.” They will quickly move on to the next question. After five or six questions, they will just say “See you in two months time.” And then you know the exam is over. Learner drivers are not allowed to work and earn money as drivers. Therefore, many of them keep their earlier jobs until they have obtained the license. The training can cost quite a lot because learners have to pay for their own expenses on the tests and the medical exam.
Questions:
14. Why are London taxi drivers very efficient?       B
15. How long does the training period last?        D
16. Why do learner drivers have to keep their present job?     C

Section C
Directions: In Section C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice. After you hear each conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the information you hear. Write your answers on your answer sheet. 

Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
W: Have you ever traveled much in Britain?
M: No, not much. But I travel quite a lot in London every day.
W: What do you think of the London traffic?
M: I think the London underground is OK because it’s fast and comfortable. I also like London buses, especially for short journeys.
W: But don’t you think the buses are rather slow?
M: Yes, I do. Particularly in rush hours.
W: What about London taxis?
M: Taxis often get us in traffic jams, and besides, they’re too expensive.
W: Well, what do you think is the best way to travel in London?
M: The underground, I think.


Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.

M: Have you ever visited a redwood forest? I recently had a chance to go to Muri Woods National Monument, north of San Francisco.
W: I have never seen a redwood tree. I can hardly imagine how big they are.
M: The coastal redwoods are the tallest living things. Some are more than 350 feet high. But none of the trees in Muri Woods are that tall. You have to go further north in California to see the tallest trees.
W: You said the Muri Woods is near San Francisco? I guess it must be quite a tourist attraction.
M: Yes, it’s less than an hour’s driver away, so it’s easy to get there.
W: I have heard that many redwoods are thousands of years old. Are the ones in Muri Woods that old?
M: The oldest documented age for a costal redwood is more than 2,000 years. The trees in Muri Woods are 400-800 years old.
W: why have they survived so long?
M: They have remarkable resistance to forest fires. Their tough and thick bark protects trees during a fire. The coastal redwoods also like a wet and foggy climate.
W: Then, since Muri Woods is near foggy San Francisco, it must be ideal for the trees’ survival. I can’t wait to go there and see them.
