(B) Charles Darwin was a scientist who changed our understanding of the natural world. He is known as the Father of Modern Biology. Darwin was born in 1809 in England. He didn’t do well at school and got poor grades. His father was a doctor and wanted Charles to become a doctor too. Then his father sent him to a medical school to study medicine when he was 16. However, he preferred spending time studying things in nature to attending medical classes. So he left the school without graduation (毕业). Then, Darwin’s father sent him to another school and wanted him to become a minister (牧师). He finished the study in this school but he didn’t want to be a minister. His friends encouraged him to follow his interest in science. After graduation, Darwin was asked to sail on the ship H. M. S. Beagle as a scientist. H. M. S. Beagle was going to travel around the world. His work was to make maps of the places they visited. On December 27th, 1831, Charles Darwin sailed from England on H. M. S. Beagle. They planned to spend two years on the trip. In fact, it took them five years to make it. They first arrived in South America, then Australia. During the time, Darwin saw many amazing things. He collected lots of things like fossils of plants and animals. He took them back to England and spent lots of time working on them. Twenty-three years later, Darwin published (发表) the great scientific work On the Origin of Species with the help of Wallace. In this work, Darwin talked about his ideas about natural selection—how animals developed. At first, his ideas were not popular (流行的), but now most people agree with them. They are very important to the modern study of living things. 29. Why did Darwin leave the medical school? A He didn’t do well in medical classes. B. He was more interested in things in nature. C. His father wanted him to become a minister. D. His friends were not in the same school as him. 30. What was Darwin’s work on H. M. S. Beagle? A. Studying animals. B. Making maps. C.

When all of his friends arrived, he asked them to sit around the table. He began to count the people in his mind when they were having the delicious food. Suddenly he cried out. “Oh, there are thirteen people here!” Everybody’s face turned white except (除……以外) Mr. Brown. He said slowly with a smile on his face, “Don’t worry, my dear friends! We have fourteen people here. My wife Mrs. Brown will have a baby in a few weeks. She is in the family way now.” All of them became happy again. “Congratulations!” they said to Mr. and Mrs. Brown.

Number 13 (D) Imagine the situation: in a cold and dark night, you are driving alone on a mountain, and you have no idea where you are. Suddenly your car breaks down and you have no mobile phone. What should you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This device (装置) may be able to help you. It uses satellites to find the users’ position. It can find your position within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are. The GPS is a small radio receiver (无线电接收机). It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. In this way, we can take it with ourselves everywhere. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you can know where you are. For example, they can tell you the name of a street in a city. With the help of GPS, you are able to find your way in different places and don’t be afraid of getting lost. In addition, it provides services even in bad weather. There are three parts of the GPS. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand or fix it into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting (绕……轨道运行) the Earth. The third part is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world and can control the satellites and make sure they are working well. Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile phones. The devices will become cheaper and better. There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps one day they will become something like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again. 37. According to the passage, what can we do with the help of the GPS? A. We can call for help. B. We can start our cars faster. C. We can find out where we are. D. We can stop our cars from breaking down. 38. What is true about the GPS? A. It’s a new kind of mobile phone. B. It can’t be put in a boat or a plane. C. All GPS devices have electronic maps. D. We can hold the receiver of it in our hands. 39 What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Systems. B. Ground stations. C. Satellites. D. Receivers. 40. What is the passage mainly about? A. The shape of the GPS. B. The receiver of the GPS. C. The three parts of the GPS. D. The introduction of the GPS. 第二节(共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分) Sweet wormwood（青蒿）is a common plant in China. But it has the power to cure the deadly disease called malaria（疟疾）.

He is known as the Father of Modern Biology. Darwin was born in 1809 in England. He didn’t do well at school and got poor grades. His father was a doctor and wanted Charles to become a doctor too. Then his father sent him to a medical school to study medicine when he was 16. However, he preferred spending time studying things in nature to attending medical classes. So he left the school without graduation (毕业). Then Darwin’s father sent him to another school and wanted him to become a minister (牧师). He finished the study in this school but he didn’t want to be a minister. His friends encouraged him to follow his interest in science. After graduation, Darwin was asked to sail on the ship H. M. S. Beagle as a scientist. H. M. S. Beagle was going to travel around the world. His work was to make maps of the places they visited. On December 27th, 1831, Charles Darwin sailed from England on H. M. S. Beagle. They planned to spend two years on the trip. In fact, it took them five years to make it. They first arrived in South America, then Australia. During the time, Darwin saw many amazing things. He collected lots of things like fossils of plants and animals. He took them back to England and spent lots of time working on them. Twenty-three years later, Darwin published (发表) the great scientific work On the Origin of Species with the help of Wallace. In this work, Darwin talked about his ideas about natural selection—how animals developed. At first, his ideas were not popular (流行的), but now most people agree with them. They are very important to the modern study of living things. 29. Why did Darwin leave the medical school? A. He didn’t do well in medical classes. B. He was more interested in things in nature. C.

Suddenly your car breaks down and you have no mobile phone. What should you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This device (装置) may be able to help you. It uses satellites to find the users’ position. It can find your position within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are. The GPS is a small radio receiver (无线电接收机). It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. In this way, we can take it with ourselves everywhere. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you can know where you are. For example, they can tell you the name of a street in a city. With the help of GPS, you are able to find your way in different places and don’t be afraid of getting lost. In addition, it provides services even in bad weather. There are three parts of the GPS. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand or fix it into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting (绕……轨道运行) the Earth. The third part is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world and can control the satellites and make sure they are working well. Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile phones. The devices will become cheaper and better. There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps one day they will become something like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again. 37. According to the passage, what can we do with the help of the GPS? A.
