25、滿(mǎn)分40分） AOver the years Ive been teaching kids about a simple but powerful spirit the ant philosophy. I think we should study ants. Ants have an amazing four-part philosophy, and here is the first part: ants never quit. Thats a good philosophy. If theyre heading somewhere and you try to stop them, th

26、eyll look for another way. Theyll climb over, theyll climb under, or theyll climb around. They keep looking for another way. What a neat philosophy, to never quit looking for a way to get where theyre supposed to go! Second, ants think about winter all summer. Thats an important attitude. You cant b

27、e so naive as to think summer will last forever. People who even have only a little experience are clear about this. So ants are gathering their winter food in summer. An ancient story says, “Dont build your house on the sand in summer.” There is some good advice in this saying. It is important to t

28、hink ahead. In summer, youve got to think about storm. Youve got to think about freezing while you are enjoying the sand and the sun.The third part of the ant philosophy is that ants think about summer all winter. That is also important. During winter, ants remind themselves, “This wont last long; w

29、ell soon be out of here.” And on the first warm day, the ants are out. If it turns cold, theyll dive back down, but they come out again if it is warm. They cant wait to get out. And heres the last part of the ant philosophy. How much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter All

30、 that it possibly can. What an incredible philosophy, the “all-that-you-possibly-can” philosophy! Wow, what a great philosophy to have the ant philosophy. Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.41. If ants have trouble reaching where they want to go, they will _.A. give up tryin

31、g at last B. change their destinationC. wait for another chance D. try another way to reach it42. The underlined word “naive” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “_”.A. careless   B. inexperienced   C. lazy     D. foolish43. The author menti

32、ons the saying of not building houses on the sand in summer to tell us that _.A. its a good time to build houses in winterB. houses built in summer are cold when winter comesC. we should think a lot before building housesD. it is important to think ahead44. Which of the following statements best exp

33、lains the third part of the ant philosophy?A. Ants cant wait long for an opportunity to come.B. Ants believe in themselves and fear no difficulty.C. Ants are positive and make use of every opportunity.D. Ants like doing outdoor activities very much. B Paper is an example of a valuable material that

34、can be recycled. Its wood fibers can be reused five to seven times. However, paper has not always been made from wood pulp (木漿). It is said that the Chinese official and scholar Cai Lun was the first person to develop paper from bamboo fibers, linen (亞麻布) and China grass in the year 105 AD.The secre

35、t of paper production was protected for many years. The Japanese only learned about it in the year 610 AD. After that, the art of making paper spread slowly all over the world; it came to the Arab world in the eighth century and then from there to Spain. In Europe, the first piece of paper was produ

36、ced in the 12th century. Until 1456 the skin of a sheep or goat was prepared for writing in France. Most of the time there was a shortage of linen the main material for paper. In 1719, the French scientist Rene de Reaumur had the idea that paper could be made from wood fibers. He wrote about this, b

37、ut never tested it himself. Until the 19th century almost only old cloth was used for paper production. The chemical process of breaking down wood was invented in 1829 and the German Friedrich Keller found a method of breaking down wood efficiently in 1843. This was the starting point of making pape

38、r from wood pulp and of paper recycling. The process that changes waste paper into a usable product saves a lot of materials. Waste paper is collected by consumers. They take it to a local recycling center. Then the paper is brought to a plant where it is sorted and recycled. The fiber is then made

39、into a new paper product. If white paper is needed, chemicals are added to the pulp. The clean pulp can produce fine paper.45. This passage is mainly about _.  A. what materials were used to make paper B. the invention and development of papermaking  C. some information on how paper was in

40、vented  D. the person who invented the paper46. According to the passage, Cai Lun used all of the following materials to make paper EXCEPT _.  A. bamboo fibers B. linen      C. wood pulp   D. China grass47. Which of the following countries

41、or areas is the last one that mastered the art of papermaking?  A. Spain.    B. The Arab world.  C. Japan.     D. China.48. People considered making paper from wood fibers probably because _.A. it was cheaper than other waysB. there was a shorta

42、ge of the main material for paperC. it was easier to make paper using this methodD. they could not find enough old cloth C Due to the increasing number of violent acts taking place in schools all over the world, more and more parents prefer to have their children educated at home rather than at scho

43、ol. This way they can ensure their safety and well-being. Teachers and school representatives are trying to improve the situation in schools by increasing the number of people in charge of the safety of the students. The main reason for the increase in violence in schools is that the films and carto

44、ons that children watch are full of violence. They want to do everything they watch on TV and never think about the consequences. On the other hand, some parents are not fully satisfied with their childrens results obtained in schools and think private classes will produce better results. When a tea

45、cher has 30 students in his class, he cant pay much attention to each student or know if a student understands his explanations. But at home the teacher can explain in detail everything the child doesnt understand as many times as he considers proper. Many times, a child grows fond of his teacher at

46、 home, who may become his best friend and help him whenever he needs someone to talk to. However, schools have their own advantages. They make children communicate and socialize with other children. But always keeping a child at home will make his character weak and will prevent him from knowing wha

47、t real life is like. Staying in an ivory tower (象牙塔) is harmful to a child. All in all, schools have been created to help children, not to harm them, so its best for children to go to school, as they can learn, laugh, have fun and make new friends there. On weekends or in their spare time they can r

48、eceive some education at home.49. Many parents have their children educated at home rather than at school _.A. because the teachers teach badly and the schools are too strict B. because schools are much more expensive than home educationC. because their children neednt spend a long time going t

49、o and from schoolD. because of the poor public order and the bad results at school50. After watching violent films and cartoons, children most likely will _.A. kill their classmates or teachersB. not want to go to schoolC. do some of the things they have seenD. become lonely and selfish51. In the au

50、thors opinion, children dont study well at school mainly because _.A. there are too many students in the classB. they have no interest in their study at allC. their teachers dont want to be their friendsD. their teachers are not as knowledgeable as private teachers52. According to the author, a chil

51、d educated at home may _.A. become unhappy B. have many good friendsC. easily get ill D. develop a weak character53. In the last paragraph the author mainly wants to tell us that _.A. a child should learn something more after schoolB. it is a better choice to combine education at school with that at

52、 homeC. more schools should be built for childrens educationD. the purpose of building schools is not to harm children D Almost 100 million people in southwest China will lose the land they live on within 35 years if soil loss continues at its current rate, a nationwide survey has found. Crops and w

53、ater supplies are suffering serious damage as earth is washed and blown away across a third of the country, according to the largest-scale study for 60 years.Harvests in the northeast, known as Chinas breadbasket (糧倉(cāng)), will fall 40% within half a century on current trends. Experts regard over-farmin

54、g and deforestation (毀林) which have contributed to over a third of the area affected, as the main causes. The research team said this loss is damaging industrial areas and cities as well as remote rural land. About 4.5 billion tons of soil are washed away each year, at an estimated cost of 200 billi

55、on yuan for this decade alone. The countrys 80,000 reservoirs (水庫(kù)) are also affected, as sand and mud are reducing their storage capacity each year. As soil is deposited in rivers, the risk of flooding increases. “If we dont conduct effective measures, the loss will cause major damage to social and

56、economic development,” said Chen Lei, the director of the Ministry of Water Resources. The state news agency Xinhua said more than 3.5 million square kilometres are affected in total, with soil from an area of 1.6 million square kilometres washed away by water and soil from a further area of 2 milli

57、on square kilometres blown away by wind.Professor Mu Xingming of the Institute of Soil and Water Conservation said that overpopulation is largely to blame for the increase in soil loss. New roads and railways are also contributing to the problem, he added. Mu regarded the Yellow River as one of the

58、areas worst hit. “Historically, it got its name because of its colour, because the water contains more mud and sand than other rivers. But now its yellower because of human activities,” he said. Mu said more work is needed to restore forests and grasslands and suggested humans would have to leave so

59、me areas entirely if they were to recover.54. Whats the main idea of this passage?A. Soil loss threatens millions of Chinese people.B. Effective measures are conducted to reduce soil loss.C. China is facing the problem of lack of water.D. Overpopulation is to blame for soil loss.55. From the passage

60、 we learn that _.A. southwest China is the main area of producing grainB. 4.5 billion tons of soil in total have been washed away in ChinaC. only remote rural areas in China have the problem of soil lossD. too much soil deposited in rivers is a cause of flooding56. All of the following may be the ca

61、uses of soil loss EXCEPT _.A. over-farming and deforestation  B. overpopulationC. reservoirs           D. roads and railways57. According to Mu, the Yellow River has been seriously affected mainly because of _. A. natural disasters        B. human activities C. its long history         D. its own characteristics ( E ) In July
