Some of us eat meat, of course, but animals live on plants. If there were no plants, we would have no animals and no meat. So the soil is very necessary for life. The top of the ground is usually covered with grass or other plants. There may be dead leaves and dead plants on the grass. The waste matter（糞）from animals also falls on it.All soil needs food. If we do not give it any, the plants will be weak. Farmers found that animals waste is the best food for the soil, but chemical fertilizers（化肥）are also very useful. The same crop（莊稼）should not be grown in the same place every year, its better to have a different crop. A change of crop and the use of a good fertilizer will keep the land good.（1）Which of the following is true?A . All our food comes from the soil.B . Most of our food comes from soil.C . None of our food comes from the soil.D . All our food comes from animals.（2）What does the writer tell us in the first paragraph?A . Leaves, plants, grass and waste live on each other.B . There would be no animals without meat.C . There would be no plants without animals.D . People, animals, plants and soil live on each other（3）Which is the best food for soil in the field?A . Chemical fertilizers.B . Plants and grass.C . Animals waste.D . Different crops.（4）Why do we often grow a different crop in the same place every year?A . Because we can keep the soil rich this way.B . Because we dont have enough land.C . Because we want to have a different food.D . Because we do this as a habit（習慣）.23. （10分） Do you know why different animals or insects have their special colors? Colors are used mainly to protect themselves.Why cant some birds easily catch locusts（蝗蟲）? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as autumn comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other insects with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives in the day and appear only at night.If you study the animal life, youll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals cant be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colors much like the trees.Have you ever noticed an even more strange thing? A kind of fish in the sea can send out black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies cant find it. And it quickly swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.（1）From the article we learn that locusts .A . are dangerous to their enemiesB . are easily found by birdsC . change their colors to protect themselvesD . are small animals（2）How can insects with different colors from plants keep out of danger?A . They have to move quietly.B . They hide themselves in the day and appear at night.C . They have the colors much like their enemies.D . They run away quickly.（3）Bears and lions can keep safe because .A . they live in forestsB . they like brown and grey colorsC . they move quietlyD . they have the colors similar to the trees（4）What does the word “l(fā)iquid”mean in the last paragraph?A . 氣體。B . 固體。C . 液體。D . 水蒸氣。（5）Which is the best title for this passage?A . The Main Use of Colors for Animals and InsectsB . Colors of Different Animals and InsectsC . The Change of Colors for Animals and InsectsD . The Change of Different Animals and Plants24. （8分） I am a professor of sports and exercise so I often deal with nervousness in my research with sports people. Actually, most people experience nervousness at some time or another.If you are feeling anxious, my advice is to first find the cause or causes. Make s list of those things that are making you nervous and work out which ones you can do something about. Focus all of your efforts on managing the causes that you can control.Most people cannot tell the difference between controllable(可控制的) and uncontrollable causes, so things they cant control become a big reason for nervousness. Dealing with this is very important if people want to keep a healthy mind.Simply try to accept the uncontrollable causes of nervousness. You might be worried about the weather on a big day, an accident or an attack on the train, or perhaps just things that other people are doing at work. The results may be very important but there is still no use worrying because you cant control any of these things. Accept that you cant control everything. Once you understand this, it becomes easier not to worry.If a situation, such as swimming, is causing you to be anxious, try to face it as often as possible so that you can get used to it.It can often help to think about yourself doing the thing that make s you nervousthen close your eyes and imagine it going well. Imagine how the flight or job interview is going to happen so that you can get used to it. This will help you understand that the thing you fear most is probably not going to happen.（1）The writer thinks there is no use worrying about some causes of nervousness because_.A . most are not very importantB . they are not the real causes of the problemC . they cannot be controlled by peopleD . its better to deal with one cause at a time（2）If swimming makes you nervous, what should you do according to the writer?A . Go swimming often to get used to itB . Avoid going to the swimming pool.C . Find a swimming teacherD . Imagine watching others swim.（3）What is true about nervousness according to the passage?A . It usually has only one causeB . It is usually caused by people.C . People can easily manage it.D . Most people suffer from it.（4）What is the main purpose of this passage?A . To introduce the writers sports experienceB . To advise on how to deal with nervousnessC . To help people remember their fearsD . To explain the dangers of nervousness.25. （8分）閱讀下面四篇短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項。DAre you creative, shy, outgoing? Our personalities (性格) tell a lot about who we are. But whats surprising is that our personality can also say something about our health. Thats according to researchers at Duke University, US.During an experiment on 1,000 people, scientists assessed (評定) their personalities into two ways: by asking someone they knew, such as a family member or a friend; then by asking someone they had just met, such as a nurse. The study found that those who were careful at the age of 26 were in better health after 12 years.Being careful means that people are more likely to have a lot of self-control (自控力), and are less likely to smoke. Careful people are also more likely to have an active lifestyle and a healthy diet, the scientists said.From those who were less careful, 45 % developed health problems by the age of 38. Such health problems included gum disease and high blood pressure. To compare, only 18 % of careful people went to develop health problems.Another positive (積極的) personality was called “openness to experience”, meaning curious (好奇的) and imaginative. People who have more of this personality have higher IQ scores. So theyd be more likely to know how to find medical help to prevent disease.According to the report, if doctors assessed our personalities, it could help doctors to find which young adults need advice on how to live a healthy lifestyle.But can a doctor who knows our personality really improve our health? Or should doctors be kept away from knowing something so personal?（1）What kind of people are more likely to develop health problems? A . Careful people.B . Less careful people.C . Those who have self-control.D . Those who are curious and imaginative.（2）By the age of 38, MORE of the less careful people developed health problems than the careful people.A . 18%B . 27%C . 45%D . 63%（3）Which of the following shows the writers opinion? A . Careful people are more likely to have an active lifestyle.B . Scientists assessed peoples personalities into two ways in the experiment.C . The study found that those who were careful develop fewer health problems.D . A doctor who knows our personality may not be able to really improve our health.（4）Whats the best title of the passage?A . Healthy Personality.B . Unhealthy Personality.C . Personalities and Health.D . Different Personalities.四、 詞匯運用。 (共1題；共1分)26. （1分）（2016連云港） Flight 846 _（降落） safely ten minutes ago with 300 passengers.五、 根據(jù)句意, 用所給詞的適當形式填空。 (共15題；共41分)27. （1分）My friend went to Beijing without _(tell)me28. （1分）Kitty runs for half an hour _ (keep) slim.29. （1分）We are all sure that Nanjing has the ability to hold the second YOG _ (successful).30. （10分）用括號內(nèi)所給詞的適當形式填空（每空不限一詞）。If you _(not be) careful enough in the exam, you will not get a good grade.Our modern times need more and more _(hero) for us to learn from.Good habits are good for the_ (develop) of us teenagers.The 30th Olympic Games _ (hold) in London this summer.
