Mama says all the dust is due to the drought. Th
3、e dirt sifts into everything. It covers our clothes. We have to wash the dishes before each meal. We rarely drive the truck because Papa fears the dust from the road will ruin the motor. When my sister, Faye, and I walk to school, we wear kerchiefs over our mouths so we dont breathe in the dirt. On
4、days when the air is so bad that they close the school, we stay home and help Mama put wet sheets over the windows. But the dirt always finds a way in. Last Sunday, there was no dirt in the air, only bright spring sunshine and a clear blue sky. After lunch, Papa headed out to the field to check on t
5、he cattle while I played with Faye in the yard. The temperature suddenly dropped. I looked to the west and saw a huge black cloud of dust. All the birds flew away. “I must warn Papa,” I thought to myself. To avoid her panicking, I gently told Faye to go back inside where she would be safe, and then
6、headed off to the field. The storm hit so fast, and in an instant the day turned into night. By the time I entered the cow field the fine sand was whipping across my face. I screamed for Papa, hoping my voice would lead him back. The dirt and sand stung my skin like a thousand bees. Although I was t
7、errified, I refused to turn back. My dad was stranded and needed my help. Covering my face with one hand, I groped my way toward the truck and opened the door. First I tried turning the trucks lights on and off, hoping that Papa would see them flashing, but the sandstorm let no light escape. Then I
8、pushed the horn again and again, so Papa would hear it. I pushed until I had no more strength in my arms. Suddenly, Papas face appeared at the window. My heart leaped with surprise and relief. He opened the door and climbed onto the seat next to me. He then pulled me into his arms and said, “Oh, Iri
9、s, you saved me!” Finally, the wind subsided and the dust began to settle. Dirt was piled up to the window on one side of the truck and halfway up the door on the other. Papa kicked against the door, opening it far enough to let us out. Sand and soil drifts were everywhere, but we were safe. 21What
10、is the main function of the first two paragraphs? AIt describes a problem the characters must solve. BIt establishes the setting where the story takes place. CIt introduces the characters that will follow in the story. DIt explains the motivations for the characters later actions. 22Why did Papa go
11、to the field that Sunday? AHe was trying to get to his truck. BHe needed to prepare the field for harvest. CHe wanted to make sure the animals were fine. DHe planned to bring in the cattle before the storm. 23How did Iris save her father? ABy warning him to run away. BBy turning on the trucks lights
12、. CBy guiding him towards the shelter. DBy screaming his name at the top of her voice. 24Which of the following words best describe Iris? ABrave and calm. BExperienced and confident. CAdventurous and careful. DFearless and sympathetic.25What is true about the Milky Way? AThere are only stars inside
13、it. BThere is a black hole at its center. CIts the biggest spiral galaxy in the universe. DIt takes 100,000 years to get there from Earth. 26Which of the following is the main factor in categorizing galaxies? AShape. BSize. CNumber of stars.

14、can be classified as irregular? AWhale Galaxy similar to the Milky Way both in size and shape. BCygnus A (3C 405) Galaxy the brightest egg shape we can observe. CCigar Galaxy long and narrow galaxy that looks like an ashy cloud. DSunflower Galaxy galaxy with multiple arms radiating from its bright c
15、ore. CThe Silk Road is arguably the most famous long-distance trade route of the ancient world. This passage connected Europe in the West with China in the East, and allowed the exchange of goods, technology, and ideas between the two civilizations. Although merchants could make huge profits travell
16、ing the road, it was not without risk. The main Silk Road started in Changan (known today as Xian), the early Han capital. Travelers commencing their journey from this city could take a northern route that would take them across Chinas northwestern provinces. After this, they would face the Gobi Des
17、ert, arguably the greatest danger of the Silk Road. The Gobi Desert, the largest desert in Asia, consists mainly of rocky, hard earth. This feature made it easier for traders to travel across, compared to sandy deserts like the neighboring Taklamakan Desert. Like other deserts, the Gobi Desert is dr
18、y and hot, and therefore the biggest challenge travelers faced was obtaining enough water for themselves as well as for their camels. So, rest stops were created along the route, allowing travelers to rest, eat and drink. These places also promoted the exchange of goods, and even ideas, amongst the
19、travelers who stopped there. Usually, the rest stops were placed within a days journey of each other. In this way, travelers could avoid spending too much time in the desert, which would make them targets for robbers, another danger of the Silk Road. Once through the Gobi Desert, travelers would con
20、tinue their journey into Iran, Turkey, and finally Europe. Whilst this part of the journey may have been less dangerous, it is not entirely without its perils. 28The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refers to _. Amaking huge profits Btraveling the Silk Road Cexchanging goods and ideas Dco
21、nnecting different civilizations 29Why was the Gobi Desert easier to cross than other deserts? AThe deserts surface was easier to walk on. BCamels for transportation were easier to find. CIt was smaller and could be crossed in less time. DThere were more natural water sources available. 30What can w
22、e guess about the rest stops in the Gobi Desert? ATravelers were offered free accommodation. BThey were located around the edges of the desert. CTravelers staying there were often attacked by criminals. DThey were shared by travelers from different countries. 31What is the passage mainly about? AThe
23、 origins of the Silk Road. BThe benefits of the Silk Road. CThe difficulties faced by Silk Road travelers. DThe cultural exchanges among Silk Road travelers. DLets begin with the story: King Hiero contracts the ancient Greek polymath Archimedes (阿 基米德) to detect fraud in the manufacture of a golden
24、crown. Archimedes accepts the challenge and, during a subsequent trip to the public baths, realizes that the more his body sinks into the water, the more water is displaced making the displaced water an exact measure of his volume. Realizing he has hit upon a method to determine whether the Kings cr
25、own was made of gold or silver, the young Greek leaps out of the bath and rushes home naked crying “Eureka! Eureka!” Or, translated: “Ive found it! Ive found it!” Too bad, however, Archimedes probably never uttered the phrase in that way. First and foremost, Archimedes himself never wrote about this
26、 episode, although he spent plenty of time detailing the laws of buoyancy ( 浮 力 ). The oldest authority for the naked-Archimedes eureka story is Vitruvius, a Roman writer, who included the tale in his introduction to his ninth book of architecture. “Vitruvius may have gotten it wrong,” says Chris Sc
27、hmitt, a mathematician at the University of Berlin and a self-described Archimedes fan. “The method attributed to Archimedes in the story works in theory so it sounds right, but when you actually try it, you find that the real world gets in the way.” In fact, Schmitt is one of a long line of scienti
28、sts, including Galileo, who have read the account and thought, “That cant be right.” As Galileo wrote, Archimedes could have achieved a far more precise result using his own law of buoyancy and an accurate scale. In fact, the surface tension of water can make the volume of a light object like a crow
29、n immeasurable. “There may be some truth to it,” Schmitt adds. “Archimedes did measure the volume of things but the eureka moment was maybe due to his original discovery concerning buoyance, not to sitting in the bathtub and then running through the streets naked.” Much like Newtons apple, the excla
30、mation persists because of the enduring power of the story: a golden crown, a life in the balance, a naked mathematician. The suspect foundations of the eureka moment take nothing away from the words ability to uniquely and concisely convey the flash of inspiration. 32According to the first paragrap
31、h, how would Archimedes measure the volume of the crown? AHe would weigh himself with and without the crown. BHe would weigh the crown first and then put it into water. CHe would go to the public baths wearing the crown on his head. DHe would sink the crown into water and measure the water displaced
32、. 33What did Galileo probably think of the naked-Archimedes eureka story? AHe believed the word “eureka” was said in another situation. BHe suspected Archimedes didnt run through the street naked. CHe doubted Archimedes carried out the experiment independently. DHe thought Archimedes would not have
33、used the method described. 34What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? AThe word “eureka” is still widely used today. BThe word “eureka” is now a formal scientific term. CMost people accept the authenticity of the original story. DPeople are still inspired by the achie
34、vements of Archimedes. 35What is the purpose of this text? ATo introduce the famous scientist Archimedes. BTo examine the credibility of the eureka story. CTo explain how the word “eureka” was created. DTo urge people not to use the word “eureka” anymore. 第二节 ( 共 5 小题; 每小题 2 分，满分 10 分 ) 根据短文内容，从短文后的
35、选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Leonardo da Vinci and NatureIn the modern world, art and science are two very separate activities, but in Leonardos time they were closely connected. Science meant mathematics and medical studies. 36 Mathematics included practical work like surveying land for making ma
36、ps as well as measuring the movements of the stars in the sky. An artist might need to measure the different parts of the body. He could also use mathematics to place things in relationship to each other in a drawing or painting so the scene looked correct. 37 Mathematics was also connected to music
37、 because musical sounds have a fixed relationship with each other that can be described in numbers. 38 More than this, though, Leonardo believed that numbers were a part of all things in the world, including music, and he said that “without them nothing can be done.” “Nature has kindly given us thin
38、gs everywhere to copy,” wrote Leonardo. In all his activities, Leonardo was trying to discover the rules that control nature. In his search for those rules, he looked very carefully at a lot of examples and details. Actual experience was more important to him than opinion, and he worked from facts t
39、o ideas. 39 His purpose was to examine the world so he could copy it in beautiful paintings and sculptures. He also wanted to learn from the clever solutions of nature. 40 His quick little sketches, often done while wandering outside, helped him to catch a movement or a shape. More careful drawings
40、would be done at a desk with a pen and ruler. In July 2001, a small drawing by Leonardo was sold for $12 million. It was the most expensive drawing in the world. ALeonardo was always drawing. BHow could these be connected with art? CLeonardos ideas were vastly ahead of his time. DMathematicians and
41、doctors worked to discover the unknown. EAbove all, Leonardo wanted to understand how and why things worked. FYou will see a good example of such positioning in the painting of The Last Supper. GLeonardo himself was a very good musician and liked to play an instrument and sing. 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45

43、n high school that I realized I needed a 44 . Myfriends were joining the long distance running club and 45 me to do it also. At my school, there were no qualification 46 ; every student was accepted. As everyone gathered around on the first day of practice, the 47 announced it wastime for “warm-up”.
44、 I imagined the warm-up would be a 48 jog around the 400-metre track. Isoon 49 it was a 1-km run. After completing the run, I was 50 ! I wondered, “If thats warm-up, whats next?” The 51 workout for the day was a 5-km run, which I mostly walked. When I came home, I really considered 52 . However, I 5

During practice, I would always keep at the 56 of the group; the fastest, more 57 runners were always a
