A huge cat lives here. She waits behind the door every night.” Just then, they heard a soft “Meow”. “Run!” Max turned pale and shouted. The two mice raced through holes, up ropes and down pipes. The cat’s claws almost caught Pip’s tail. At last, they escaped into a dark corner, breathing hard. Pip’s heart was still beating fast. “Thank you, Max, but I miss my quiet field. I’d rather share one safe corn seed than a hundred cheeses with a cat.” The next day Pip rode home.

He loved to learn how things worked. He also loved to make things work better. Many people think of him as one of the greatest inventors of all time. Thomas Edison was born on February 11, 1847. He did not do well in school. He wanted to question and explore. At that time, school was mostly about remembering facts, so his mom took him out of school and taught him at home. He sold food and newspapers on trains when he was twelve. He used the money he earned to buy books and materials for experiments. He set up a lab in a train car. Also around this time, he lost most of his hearing. When he was fifteen, he saved a boy’s life. The boy was about to be run over by a boxcar when Edison grabbed him. The child’s father offered to teach Edison how to be a telegraph operator. As he grew older, he continued to be interested in science. Edison wanted to invent things full-time. He invented ways to make the telegraph better. He said he would not give up, no matter what happened. For years, people had tried to make a safe light bulb that most people could buy. Many inventors had tried and failed. First, Edison and his team had to find the right filament (灯丝)—the part of a light bulb that glows. They tried thousands of materials and finally found one that worked. People were amazed by Edison’s electric lights. During his life, Edison had 1093 patents (专利), which was a record. He worked until he was more than eighty years old. When he died on October 18, 1931, President Hoover asked people to turn off their lights for a short time. He asked them to think about the great changes Edison had made in their lives. 31. Why did Edison’s mother pull him out of school? A. Because he did not do well in school. B.

The park includes 415 square miles of natural beauty. The air is fresh and clean. It features mountain lakes that mirror high peaks above them. The park is home to mountain lions, moose and many other wild animals. RMNP is a small part of the Rocky Mountain Range (山脉). Compared to other mountain ranges, the Rockies are young. They were pushed up around 165 million years ago. Later on, glaciers (冰川) moved downhill and carved out their peaks. The Rocky Mountains form much of the Continental Divide (大陆分水岭). This is a rocky spine that runs along North America and divides the way water flows. Water on the western side of the divide flows west to the Pacific Ocean. Water on the eastern side flows to the Atlantic Ocean. RMNP has several different environments. It has wet areas and forests of pine trees. The trees stop growing at about 11,500 feet. This is called the tree line. Higher than this the weather is too stormy and the soil too rocky for trees to grow. Different areas in RMNP provide homes for different animals. And about 280 kinds of birds have been seen in RMNP. They include eagles and ravens, which ride on mountain winds. A visit to RMNP can be free and easy or full of adventure. In the park, the roads allow drivers to enjoy great views. Trail Ridge Road is the highest paved road in any U.S. national park. However, this road is closed in winter, when snowdrifts can be more than 20 feet deep. RMNP is one of the most popular national parks in the United States. During the summer months, the park can be very crowded. Sometimes there are traffic jams. Many people now ride buses in the park rather than drive their cars. Still, anyone willing to lace up their hiking boots can go on an adventure in this park. 36. How are the Rocky Mountains different from other mountain ranges? A. They are larger. B. They are younger. C. They have more natural beauty. D. They have more wildlife. 37. Water on the western side of the Continental Divide flows to ________. A. the Atlantic Ocean B. the Gulf of Mexico C. Rocky Mountain National Park D. the Pacific Ocean 38. Trees stop growing at around 11,500 feet because ________. A. the sunlight is too bright B. there is too much wind blowing C. it is too stormy and rocky D. the soil is too wet to hold the roots 39. Why does the writer tell readers people now ride buses in the park rather than drive cars? A. To tell readers about how crowded the park has become. B. To tell readers about different buses they can ride in the park. C. To get readers to drive a car if they visit the park. D. To get readers not to go to the park when it is crowded. 40. What does the writer most want readers to know about Rocky Mountain National Park? A. RMNP has different kinds of animals and birds. B. RMNP sometimes has so much snow that the roads must close. C.

And they are probably the largest animals that ever lived on Earth. They are bigger than any known dinosaur. Even elephants are small when compared to whales. A large blue whale can be over 33 meters long. It can weigh nearly as much as 20 school buses. Whales are mammals (哺乳动物). They have lungs and must surface for air. Whales do not breathe through their mouths. Instead, they breathe through a blow hole on the top of their heads. There are about 75 kinds of whales. Most whales fall into one of two groups. One group has teeth. They are called toothed whales. The other group does not have teeth. They are called Baleen whales (须鲸). Toothed whales, which include dolphins, have jaws lined with sharp teeth. They eat fish, squid and other sea life. Larger toothed whales even eat seals. The killer whale or orca is a well-known toothed whale. Orcas are called killer whales because they are skilled at hunting other animals. Baleen whales have a special material called baleen that hangs from their upper jaw. Baleen looks a little like a giant feather or comb. It filters (过滤) small fish and very small sea life from the ocean. It seems strange that such large creatures eat such tiny food. However, pollution of the oceans is killing whales. Efforts have been made to protect whales. As a result, some types of whales are increasing in number. But it will take hundreds of years to get whale population back to safe levels. 51. It’s probable that whales are ________ that ever lived on Earth. 52. Whales breathe through ________ on the top of their heads. 53. Orcas are well-known and dangerous because they are ________. 54. Some whales have baleen and it ________ a giant feather or comb. 55. The number of whales is going down mainly because of ________. 【答案】51. the largest animals 52. a blow hole 53. skilled at hunting other animals##good at hunting other animals 54. looks a little like 55. pollution of the oceans##ocean pollution 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了鲸鱼的基本特征、分类以及生存现状。 【51题详解】 根据“And they are probably the largest animals that ever lived on Earth.”可知，鲸鱼可能是地球上生活过的最大的动物。the largest animals“最大的动物”。故填the largest animals。 【52题详解】 根据“Instead, they breathe through a blow hole on the top of their heads.”可知，鲸鱼通过头顶的呼吸孔呼吸。a blow hole“呼吸孔”。故填a blow hole。 【53题详解】 根据“Orcas are called killer whales because they are skilled at hunting other animals.”可知，虎鲸是众所周知的危险动物，因为它们擅长捕食其他动物。skilled at hunting other animals“擅长捕食其他动物”，“擅长”还可以用be good at。故填skilled at hunting other animals/good at hunting other animals。 【54题详解】 根据“Baleen looks a little like a giant feather or comb.”可知，有些鲸鱼有长须，看起来有点像巨大的羽毛或梳子。主语为“it”，描述事实用一般现在时，空处动词用三单形式。looks a little like“看起来有点像”。故填looks a little like。 【55题详解】 根据“However, pollution of the oceans is killing whales.”可知，鲸鱼的数量正在下降，主要是因为海洋污染。pollution of the oceans或ocean pollution都表示“海洋污染”。故填pollution of the oceans/ocean pollution。 八、综合填空 (本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。每空限填一词。 Do you eat popcorn (爆米花) at the movies?

He lived in a quiet field under an old apple tree. Every day he ate simple food, such as wild corn, roots and a few berries. He was happy because no one ever bothered him. One sunny morning, Pip decided to visit his cousin, Max, who lived in the big city. “City life must be exciting!” Pip thought. He packed a small bag and jumped onto a farmer’s truck. When Pip arrived, he could not believe his eyes. Tall buildings, shining cars and hundreds of mice hurried along the streets. Max welcomed Pip warmly and took him to a beautiful apartment. The kitchen was bigger than Pip’s whole house. There were cakes, cheese, bread and even chocolate. Pip’s mouth watered. “You eat like a king!” he cried. “Shhh,” whispered Max. “Speak softly. A huge cat lives here. She waits behind the door every night.” Just then, they heard a soft “Meow”. “Run!” Max turned pale and shouted. The two mice raced through holes, up ropes and down pipes. The cat’s claws almost caught Pip’s tail. At last, they escaped into a dark corner, breathing hard. Pip’s heart was still beating fast. “Thank you, Max, but I miss my quiet field. I’d rather share one safe corn seed than a hundred cheeses with a cat.” The next day Pip rode home. He looked at the wide blue sky and smiled. “Simple food and peace are the best riches,” he said to himself. 26. Where did Pip live before he visited his cousin? A. In a tall apartment building. B.

B Thomas Edison loved to question things. He loved to learn how things worked. He also loved to make things work better. Many people think of him as one of the greatest inventors of all time. Thomas Edison was born on February 11, 1847. He did not do well in school. He wanted to question and explore. At that time, school was mostly about remembering facts, so his mom took him out of school and taught him at home. He sold food and newspapers on trains when he was twelve. He used the money he earned to buy books and materials for experiments. He set up a lab in a train car. Also around this time, he lost most of his hearing. When he was fifteen, he saved a boy’s life. The boy was about to be run over by a boxcar when Edison grabbed him. The child’s father offered to teach Edison how to be a telegraph operator. As he grew older, he continued to be interested in science. Edison wanted to invent things full-time. He invented ways to make the telegraph better. He said he would not give up, no matter what happened. For years, people had tried to make a safe light bulb that most people could buy. Many inventors had tried and failed. First, Edison and his team had to find the right filament (灯丝)—the part of a light bulb that glows. They tried thousands of materials and finally found one that worked. People were amazed by Edison’s electric lights. During his life, Edison had 1093 patents (专利), which was a record. He worked until he was more than eighty years old. When he died on October 18, 1931, President Hoover asked people to turn off their lights for a short time. He asked them to think about the great changes Edison had made in their lives. 31. Why did Edison’s mother pull him out of school? A. Because he did not do well in school. B. Because the family moved. C. Because he was the youngest student in his grade. D. Because he wanted to go to a different school. 32. What happened as a result of Edison saving a boy’s life? A. He was offered a job selling food and newspapers on trains. B. The boy’s father offered to teach him how to be a telegraph operator. C. His mother pulled him out of school. D. The boy’s father gave him a gift for his bravery. 33. What personality traits (性格特征) did Edison have to make him a good inventor? A. He was kind and friendly to others. B. He was happy with the way life was. C. He loved to question things and make things better. D. He listened to his mom and dad. 34. Why do you think Edison continued working until he was more than eighty years old? A.

C Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) in Colorado, shows off the best of the Rocky Mountains. The park includes 415 square miles of natural beauty. The air is fresh and clean. It features mountain lakes that mirror high peaks above them. The park is home to mountain lions, moose and many other wild animals. RMNP is a small part of the Rocky Mountain Range (山脉). Compared to other mountain ranges, the Rockies are young. They were pushed up around 165 million years ago. Later on, glaciers (冰川) moved downhill and carved out their peaks. The Rocky Mountains form much of the Continental Divide (大陆分水岭). This is a rocky spine that runs along North America and divides the way water flows. Water on the western side of the divide flows west to the Pacific Ocean. Water on the eastern side flows to the Atlantic Ocean. RMNP has several different environments. It has wet areas and forests of pine trees. The trees stop growing at about 11,500 feet. This is called the tree line. Higher than this the weather is too stormy and the soil too rocky for trees to grow. Different areas in RMNP provide homes for different animals. And about 280 kinds of birds have been seen in RMNP. They include eagles and ravens, which ride on mountain winds. A visit to RMNP can be free and easy or full of adventure. In the park, the roads allow drivers to enjoy great views. Trail Ridge Road is the highest paved road in any U.S. national park. However, this road is closed in winter, when snowdrifts can be more than 20 feet deep. RMNP is one of the most popular national parks in the United States. During the summer months, the park can be very crowded. Sometimes there are traffic jams. Many people now ride buses in the park rather than drive their cars. Still, anyone willing to lace up their hiking boots can go on an adventure in this park. 36. How are the Rocky Mountains different from other mountain ranges? A. They are larger. B. They are younger. C They have more natural beauty. D. They have more wildlife. 37. Water on the western side of the Continental Divide flows to ________. A. the Atlantic Ocean B. the Gulf of Mexico C. Rocky Mountain National Park D. the Pacific Ocean 38. Trees stop growing at around 11,500 feet because ________. A. the sunlight is too bright B. there is too much wind blowing C. it is too stormy and rocky D. the soil is too wet to hold the roots 39. Why does the writer tell readers people now ride buses in the park rather than drive cars? A. To tell readers about how crowded the park has become. B. To tell readers about different buses they can ride in the park. C. To get readers to drive a car if they visit the park. D. To get readers not to go to the park when it is crowded. 40.

And they are probably the largest animals that ever lived on Earth. They are bigger than any known dinosaur. Even elephants are small when compared to whales. A large blue whale can be over 33 meters long. It can weigh nearly as much as 20 school buses. Whales are mammals (哺乳动物). They have lungs and must surface for air. Whales do not breathe through their mouths. Instead, they breathe through a blow hole on the top of their heads. There are about 75 kinds of whales. Most whales fall into one of two groups. One group has teeth. They are called toothed whales. The other group does not have teeth. They are called Baleen whales (须鲸). Toothed whales, which include dolphins, have jaws lined with sharp teeth. They eat fish, squid and other sea life. Larger toothed whales even eat seals. The killer whale or orca is a well-known toothed whale. Orcas are called killer whales because they are skilled at hunting other animals. Baleen whales have a special material called baleen that hangs from their upper jaw. Baleen looks a little like a giant feather or comb. It filters (过滤) small fish and very small sea life from the ocean. It seems strange that such large creatures eat such tiny food.
