To climb successfully, one must use wonderful skills. One of the important rules is to always have three parts of your body on the rock face. Another important rule is that your arms only hold you close to the rock face while your legs are pushing you up. The closer you are to the rock face, the easier it is to climb.

People who like games such as chess playing or problem-solving may love rock climbing, because they are nearly the same in the way of thinking.

The camel is one of the strangest and oldest animals living today. Scientists believe that millions of years ago, ancestors of camels lived in North America. There was a bridge of land over the Bering Strait that led to Asia. One group of the animals moved to Asia. These animals developed into camels of today. Another group went to South America. This group developed into the llama, an animal in the same family as the camel.
There are two types of camels, the dromedary and Bactrian. The dromedary has one hump and is found mostly in Arabian countries. The Bactrian camel has two humps and is found in Asian countries. All dromedary camels today is domesticated(驯养). Bactrian camels can still be found in the wild in areas of Mongolia and China. The Bactrian camel is shorter and heavier than the dromedary. Also, the pads on its feet are thicker so that it can walk in colder, rockier places than the dromedary.
The camel has many interesting characteristics. For example, unlike most animals, it lifts both feet on one side at the same time when it runs. This causes it to rock from side to side when it runs. Another unusual characteristic is the camel’s ability to eat almost everything if it becomes hungry enough. It might even eat part of a tent or a basket if it cannot find the grass it prefers.
Camels are the best pack animals in the world. They can carry things as heavy as 600 pounds 25 miles a day. They can also go without water for as long as two weeks in the winter.
You might think that a camel stores some food and water in its hump or humps. This is what human beings thought for many years, but it is not true. A camel’s hump is made up of fat and muscle. If a camel has to go without food for several days, it can use the fat in its hump for energy. The camel keeps water in its tissues and cells(组织细胞). Its body does not use the water to cool off the way the human body does. That is why a camel’s body temperature can change, by as much as 11℃.
27. The dromedary and Bactrian camels have a lot of differences EXCEPT ____.
A. the places they live in B. the things they eat
C. the number of humps D. the appearance they look
28. Why does a camel rock from side to side when it runs?
A. Because it lifts both feet on one side at the same time.
B. Because it carries many heavy things every day.
C. Because it has too many things stored in his humps.
D. Because its pads on its feet are very thick and short.
29. The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 5 refers to ____.
A. a camel stores some food and water in its humps
B. a camel’s hump is made of fat and muscle
C. a camel can use the fat in its hump for energy
D. a camel doesn’t use the water to cool off its body
30. The purpose of this passage is mainly to ____.
A. talk about the importance of camels
B. advise people to come and play with camels
C. tell some facts about camels to people
D. teach people how to raise camels at home
【答案】27. B 28. A 29. D 30. C
【解析】
【分析】
这篇文章为说明文。主要介绍了骆驼这个物种的发展历史,不同的分类,特殊的生理构造、生活习性等相关知识。
【27题详解】
细节理解。从文章第2段的第2句和第3句可知两种骆驼的驼峰数量和生活地域不同,最后两句描述了两种骆驼的外观不同。未提及饮食的区别,故选B。
【28题详解】
细节理解。从文章第3段第2句“it lifts both feet on one side at the same time when it runs”可知,造成骆驼左右摇晃的原因是它同时抬起同一边的两只脚。故选A。
【29题详解】
词句猜测。此处划线词“that”应指代前文的事实,即“Its body does not use the water to cool off the way the human body does”。它的身体不会像人那样用水来降温。故选D。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了关于骆驼的各方面的相关知识,所以C选项正确。文章未提及要建议人们和骆驼玩耍或是教人们如何饲养骆驼,故B、D选项不对。A选项骆驼的重要性只在第4段提及,不能概括整篇文章大意。故选C。

Her friends Abby and Kay worried about her. “We must help her to get away from her fear of taking the lift!” Kay said. “Yes, you are right. We can take the lift with her,” Abby said.
One day, Laura stood in front of the lift in a shopping centre with Abby and Kay. “Remember, courage (勇气) is what all you need and you can think of something interesting,” Abby said to her. “Don’t be afraid!” Kay said. They waited for the lift together. When the lift door opened, “I can’t do this,” Laura said sadly. Then the lift door closed and Laura felt relaxed.

Laura pushed the lift button (按钮). A few minutes later, the lift door opened. Laura walked into the lift with Kay and Abby. Kay and Abby looked at her and said together, “We are right here with you.” Laura started counting, “Thirty, twenty-nine, twenty-eight, twenty-seven ...”
With the help of Abby and Kay, Laura turned her fear into courage. “Thanks to you, it’s wonderful and I will do it again.” As she pushed the lift button, she said, “This time, I’m going to do it alone without fear!”

Rock climbing did not become a sport until the late 1900s. But now it has become a popular outdoor activity. While rock climbing may still be necessary for mountain climbing, most people just climb low mountains for fun.
If you have ever done rock climbing, you will know that it is not a very easy sport. Indoor and outdoor rock climbing both need practice. What most people don’t know is that rock climbing is one of the sports that depend on your body and mind.
To climb successfully, one must use wonderful skills. One of the important rules is to always have three parts of your body on the rock face. Another important rule is that your arms only hold you close to the rock face while your legs are pushing you up. The closer you are to the rock face, the easier it is to climb.
Rock climbing is a wonderful sport. Once you start to learn how to climb, you’ll find more fun. People who like games such as chess playing or problem-solving may love rock climbing, because they are nearly the same in the way of thinking. For anyone who wants to get into beautiful shape, rock climbing is a fun and good way. Anyone who enjoys a difficult game and loves the outdoors should think of taking rock climbing as a new hobby.
23. The chess players may like rock climbing because ________.
A. they’d like to get into good shape B. it is more interesting than chess playing
C. it is like chess playing in the way of thinking D. they really like to do sports
24. Who would think of taking rock climbing as a new hobby?
A. People who enjoy indoor activities. B. People who enjoy running.
C. People who enjoy a difficult game and love the outdoors. D. People who love playing chess.
25. What does rock climbing depend on?
A. It depends on your spirit. B. It depends on your partners.
C. It depends on your skills. D. It depends on your body and mind.
26. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Rock climbing is a kind of indoor and outdoor activity.
B. Rock climbing is a very easy sport.
C. When you climb, your arms push you up.
D. The closer you are to the rock face, the more difficult it is to climb.

The camel is one of the strangest and oldest animals living today. Scientists believe that millions of years ago, ancestors of camels lived in North America. There was a bridge of land over the Bering Strait that led to Asia. One group of the animals moved to Asia. These animals developed into camels of today. Another group went to South America. This group developed into the llama, an animal in the same family as the camel.
There are two types of camels, the dromedary and Bactrian. The dromedary has one hump and is found mostly in Arabian countries. The Bactrian camel has two humps and is found in Asian countries. All dromedary camels today is domesticated(驯养). Bactrian camels can still be found in the wild in areas of Mongolia and China. The Bactrian camel is shorter and heavier than the dromedary. Also, the pads on its feet are thicker so that it can walk in colder, rockier places than the dromedary.
The camel has many interesting characteristics. For example unlike most animals, it lifts both feet on one side at the same time when it runs. This causes it to rock from side to side when it runs. Another unusual characteristic is the camel’s ability to eat almost everything if it becomes hungry enough. It might even eat part of a tent or a basket if it cannot find the grass it prefers.
Camels are the best pack animals in the world. They can carry things as heavy as 600 pounds 25 miles a day. They can also go without water for as long as two weeks in the winter.
You might think that a camel stores some food and water in its hump or humps. This is what human beings thought for many years, but it is not true. A camel’s hump is made up of fat and muscle. If a camel has to go without food for several days, it can use the fat in its hump for energy. The camel keeps water in its tissues and cells(组织细胞). Its body does not use the water to cool off the way the human body does. That is why a camel’s body temperature can change, by as much as 11℃.
27. The dromedary and Bactrian camels have a lot of differences EXCEPT ____.
A. the places they live in B. the things they eat
C. the number of humps D. the appearance they look
28. Why does a camel rock from side to side when it runs?
A. Because it lifts both feet on one side at the same time.
B. Because it carries many heavy things every day.
C. Because it has too many things stored in his humps.
D. Because its pads on its feet are very thick and short.
29. The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 5 refers to ____.
A. a camel stores some food and water in its humps
B. a camel’s hump is made of fat and muscle
C. a camel can use the fat in its hump for energy
D. a camel doesn’t use the water to cool off its body
30. The purpose of this passage is mainly to ____.
A. talk about the importance of camels
B. advise people to come and play with camels
C. tell some facts about camels to people
D. teach people how to raise camels at home
四。任务型阅读(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)
