A Brave Guess In the late 1800s,a scientist named Alfred Wegener was interested in studying the map. He came up with a brave guess.He thought that all the continents once formed one huge land. A single large ocean was around this super-continent. Floating“Ships?” Why do the continents look this way?Scientists believe that natural forces under the earth make the continents move and form the lands and oceans this way. Over many,many centuries,slowly,the super-continent broke into two continents.One of them began to move to the north.Then it broke again,forming North America,Europe,and Asia.The gap between North America and Europe became part of the Atlantic Ocean. The second continent also broke apart to form South America,Africa,Australia,and Antarctica.The continents were like floating ships at sea,moving to where they are nowadays. Finding Evidence It sounds unbelievable,but scientists have found evidence to support the guess.Firstly,it is the fossils.Ancient plants and animals of the same type were discovered both in South America and in Africa.Did they develop at the same time in two faraway places?It seems unlikely.Biologists believe that there must have been land bridges or other land connections that are unseen now. The coastlines of the continents also seem to fit together.The east coast of South America can fit into the lower west coast of Africa.The east coast of North America matches parts of Africa and Europe's coasts.It seems as if they fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle(拼图). Mountain rocks help explain the truth,too.Scientists have recognized a mountain chain that is more than four hundred million years old.It runs down the eastern part of Greenland and western Norway.Then it goes through north-west Scotland and Ireland before it reaches western Canada.Finally,it finds its way to north-west Afica. 第4页共9页 麟 Arcti Oc 07袋1 A5指 Atantic 、 Ocean Africa Pacific Ocean Pacific Ocean Indian sa Ocean Atlantic Ocean Southern Ocean eTe%de8nvw Antarctica The Continents and Oceans 26.We can leamn from the passage that Alfred Wegener A.was a scientist who enjoyed painting maps.

D.To show that the continents can move in different directions. 28.Which of the following is NOT the evidence? A.Fossils of plants and animals. B.Land bridges. C.Coastlines of the continents.

C Reading Oliver James'Amuenza,I thought about what often happens at home.My 12-year-old daughter is in tears."I have to take a test tomorrow.I don't understand any of it," she cries out.After shouting and shutting her door,she calms down enough to go through her notes.The following day I ask her how the test went and she just says"OK,I got a nine". "Wow.well done!"I say,before she finishes with "But I never get a ten!" According to James,this obsession with getting top marks has been a bad development, which encourages people to think of education in terms of work and money.To test this,1 asked my daughter why she was so worried about her tests.She looked at me as if I was thick. "Well,if I don't get good grades,I won't be able to afford nice things like a car and stuff." I was quite surprised,because I don't consider myself a pushy parent.But James suggests that it leaves students feeling like failures even if they are very bright.He points to the Danish 第5页共9页 system of education as a better model.Creating happy citizens who have good social skills is seen as more important than high achievements at school or the needs of business. For me,I cannot remember the last time I had to work out the area of a circle,recite a Shakespeare poem or grammar rules,yet I have lived a happy life.What I really needed to leamn at school was how to have polite conversations,or how to avoid getting into debt or how to develop a good personality. This is in fact similar to what Oliver James really has in mind.And he is looking for schools where students are encouraged to find and follow their own interests,something more like Tongjon.Tongjon has been developed in some Korean private schools.It is quite different from the more rigid system of learning things by heart that is used in Korea,and indeed in many other school systems around the world. As the Russian poet Pushkin said,.“Inspiration is needed in geometry(几何学)just as much as in poetry",and inspiration does not come from endlessly revising for tests or getting worried about them. 31.What does the writer probably think of his/her daughter? A.She sets herself a goal too high to reach. B.She should be more polite to her parents. C.She is hard-working but not very bright. D.She takes her grades much too seriously. 32.What does the word "obsession"in paragraph 3 mean? A.A plain and unavoidable fact B.A satisfied and very proud state. C.A practical and widely-used way. D.A fixed and often unreasonable idea. 33.What can we infer from the passage? A.Social skills are as important as high grades. B.Interest in grades can weaken self-confidence. C.The writer regrets not having studied hard at school. D.The Danish educational system is for very smart students. 34.Why does the writer mention Pushkin's words at the end of the passage? A.To prove geometry and poetry are both difficult school subjects. B.To show inspiration cannot come from endless preparation or anxiety about tests. C.To advise students to get inspiration mainly from poems instead of tests. D.To explain how good grades can help students get inspiration. 35.The writer wants to tell us that A.Education should value students'interests and personal development. B.Top marks may be helpful to increase one's interest. C.Tests should be improved to give children inspiration. D.Education should meet one's needs for work and money. 第二节阅读填空（1题1分，共5小题；满分5分) Do you often argue at home about who should clear the table after dinner?Do you always feel bored when someone asks you to help with the cleaning? 36 Washing up by hand can actually calm you down.Those who wash plates while really paying attention-noticing the smell of the washing-up liquid,the warmth of the water,and 第6页共9页 the feel of the plates-can cut their stress by about 27%. 39 Keeping the kitchen tidy is also good for your body.A new study found that people living in messy homes are 77%more likely to become overweight. 38 When the kitchen is in a mess,people are more likely to reach for high-calorie snacks instead of healthy greens.As we know,such an unhealthy diet may finally lead to weight problems and even harm the body. 39 Your parents are right:making your bed right after you get up is what experts call a"keystone habit".It can set off a chain of good changes.People who tidy their beds in the morning often work better,feel happier,and manage their money more carefully.They also sleep better at night than those who just leave the bed unmade. Planting flowers or growing vegetables can lower the risk of low mood. 40 Simple actions like pulling weeds,cutting leaves,and raking soil give you aerobic exercise.Heavier work such as digging,lifting,and turning the earth helps build muscle through anaerobic exercise.Light exercise is known to reduce worry and sadness and gardening does the same. A.But not many people notice how much it helps. B.Tidying your bed each morning can make you more efficient. C.It seems easy and peaceful,but it actually works the body hard. "D.That may be because it is harder to choose healthy food in a dirty kitchen. E.Here are four ways housework can actually be good for you. 四、读写综合（共两节，共20分） 第一节匹配阅读（共5小题，每小题2分；满分10分) 左栏是五个人的信息介绍，右栏是六则留言。请为每个人选择一个合适的留言。 41.
