三、阅读理解(本题共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
A
Autumn and winter are cold and flu(流感) seasons. Will the old advice about dressing warmly help prevent a cold, or if you get sick, should you follow the old saying, "feed a cold and starve(挨饿)a fever"? And what about that fever? Should you take medicine to reduce your temperature, or is it better to let the body treat the fever itself? Everyone seems to have an answer. But is popular wisdom valuable?
Doctor Nelson knows a lot about cold and flu seasons. Nelson says research may be just starting to provide proofs (证明) for long-held beliefs. For example, scientists for years were against the idea that getting cold and wet might cause colds or flu. But recent studies have shown that cold temperatures cause stress on the body, and th at stress can create something more likely to lead to viruses. So maybe it is really important to wear warmly before going outside.
And what about feeding a cold and s tarving a fever? Nelson says if you have a cold and are hungry, you should eat. But a fever, especially a high one, suggests a more serious problem. He says people are usually not hungry when they have a high fever. Eating might even make a person sick. But drinking enough water is important. A fever easily makes the body lose water.
Finally, when should you treat a fever? Nelson says a fever should be treated if it stays at 40℃ or above for a day or more. A high temperature can damage(破坏) brain cells(细胞).The doctor also believes in treating a fever if it prevents a person from sleeping.
Medicine like aspirin, for example, can be used to reduce pain and fever. But aspirin should not be given to children because it can cause serious problems.
( ) 38. We can learn from the passage that Doctor Nelson_______.
A. doesn't believe in the old advice about preventing colds
B. is now trying his best to provide proofs for long-held beliefs
C. thinks a fever needn't be treated even if it prevents someone from sleeping
D. thinks you needn't go to a doctor immediately if you have a temperature of 40℃
( ) 39. According to Doctor Nelson, if someone catches a fever, he should_______.
A. take a bath in cold water B. drink enough water[
C. try to eat something D. take some exercise outside
( ) 40. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Why people should eat when having a cold. B. When people should treat a fever.
C. What the medicine, aspirin, is used for. W D. Whether the old advice about preventing a cold is valuable.
( )41. The passage suggests that_______.
A. aspirin can damage brain cells if an adult takes too much of it
B. the idea that getting cold can cause flu was proved true years ago
C. it is easier for people to catch colds when their bodies are stressed
D. some old advice about preventing colds isn't important
D
LONDON—Scientists have found an unusual way to prevent our planet from overheating: move it to a cooler spot. All you have to do is to send a few comets (彗星) in the direction of Earth, and its orbit (轨道) will be changed. Our world will then be sent moving into a safer older part of the solar system.
This idea for improving our climate comes from a group of US NASA engineers and American astronomers. They say their plan could add another six billion years to the useful lifetime of our planet—hopefully doubling its working life.
The plan put forward by Dr. Laughlin, and his colleagues Don Korycansky and Fred Adams, needs carefully directing a comet or asteroid (小行星) so that it passes close by our planet and sends some of its gravitational energy to Earth.
“Earth’s orbital speed would increase as a result and we would move to a higher orbit away from the sun,” Laughlin said.
Engineers would then direct their comet so that it passed close to Jupiter (木星) or Saturn(土星). The comet would pick up energy from one of these giant planets. Later its orbit would bring it back to Earth, and the process would be repeated.
In the short term, the plan provides an ideal way to worldwide warming, although the team was actually worried about a much greater danger. The sun is certain to heat up in about a billion years and so “seriously compromise” our biosphere (生物圈)—by cooking us. That’s why the group decided to try to save Earth.
The plan has one or two worrying sides, however. For a start, space engineers would have to be very careful about how they directed their asteroid or comet towards Earth. The smallest miscalculation (误算) in orbit could fire it straight at Earth—with deadly results.
There is also the question of the moon. As the present issue of Scientific American magazine points out, if Earth was pushed out of its present location, it is “most likely the moon would be stripped (剥离) away from Earth,” it states. This would greatly change our planet’s climate.
( ) 42.What makes the scientists plan to move Earth?
A. A few comets are moving to the direction of Earth. B. Earth’s working life is coming to an end soon.
C. Earth will become too hot for mankind to keep alive. D. The moon is moving farther and farther away from Earth.
( ) 43. If the plan is successful, Earth will have a working life of ________ years.
A. 12 billion B. 6 billion C. 18 billion D. 24 billion
( ) 44.What serious problems might the plan cause according to the passage?
A. The comet might hit Earth and man might lose the moon.
B. Earth might be moved too far away and man might die because of the coldness.
C. The comet might hit Jupiter or Saturn and never return to Earth.
D. Earth’s working life might be greatly shortened.
( ) 45.What does the underlined word “compromise” mean?
A. provide B. benefit (受益) C. share D. endanger

四、任务型阅读。 It is dif ficult to find true friends these days. A lot of people tend to backstab(背后伤人). Some make friends just to use them. Others promise to be your friends but they are never there when you need them the most. They appear only when they need something from you.
Once you find a friend who is worth keeping, make sure to take care of what you have with that person. How? Here are some tips on how to make friendship last forever:
1.Call for no reason. Call just to say “Hi” or just to ask “ What’s up?” You don’t need a huge or an important reason to call a friend. If you can’t call, just send an e-mail. This would send a message that you remember your friends on a random (随意的) time of the day.
2. Know when to say I’m sorry and thank you. Don’t let pride get in the way, especially when you are at fault. The word “sorry” already has saved a lot of friendships. Show a ppreciation for the things, big or little, that your friend does for you. Did she l isten to you when you were complaining about that physics exam? Did he offer his shoulders for you to cry on when your boyfriend broke your heart? Say thank you. It’s that easy.
3. Avoid hurtful words. If you have nothing good to say, don’t talk at all. Don’t hurt your friend’s feelings by saying hurtful words that, most of the time, you don’t really mean. If you’re a true friend, you will be careful with your words.
4. Be honest. Don’t lie to a friend. Trust is the foundation of true friendship. Write them a note from time to time. Also, try to be thoughtful. Give simple gifts that will make their day.
5. Know how to keep a secret and show your friends that they can depend on you to be there whatever happens. If you promise to keep the secrets for your friends, just do it.
6. Never be mean(小气的) with your time. Spare some time to see your friends however busy you are. You can always spare an hour or two after school or work to visit them.
If you are the type of person who knows how to take care of friendship, you definitely are a keeper!

正确的形式,使短文通顺。
Can you write down a Chinese word being read to you? It can be difficult, e 66 when the word is not included in most dictionaries.
Lu Jialei, 14, from Hangzhou Foreign Language School, w 67 the CCTV Chinese Character Spelling Contest.About 160 people competed. The host read a word to the contestant (参赛选手), explained its meaning and gave sample sentences. The contestant was required to w 68 down the word.Winning the contest was a “surprise” to Lu Jialei. “I am not the smartest one,” she said. “But I pay a 69 to details.”
To prepare for the contest, she and her teammates studied the Modern Chinese Dictionary for 10 days. There are more than 56,000 entries (词条) i 70 characters, phrases and words in it. She also has a secret weapon (武器). She studied h 71 Chinese characters were structured (构成). In the final, judges gave her the word wanluan and said it means graceful and p 72 .
“I’ve never h 73 of that word!” said Lu. But she made a good guess. “Characters meaning pretty often have ‘女’ in it, while many characters pronouncing luan have ‘亦’. So I wrote it down: ‘婉娈’,” she said. This s 74 weapon came from her good reading habits.
“L 75 to write Chinese characters is an important part of inheriting (传承) culture,” said Su Yunsheng, Lu’s Chinese teacher. Su is happy to see students like Lu find the beauty of Chinese language.
