II. 阅读理解(Reading comprehension) (共30小题,计30分) 阅读下列短文或图表,然后完成文后各题。(21—30小题为选择题,每题1分且只有一个最佳答案；31—40小题为非选择题,请回答问题或完成填空题。每题2分。) A The English language started about 1,500 years ago in England. Three groups of people came to the country. They were the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes. These three groups brought their languages with them to England. After some time, the three languages became one new language—English. The name “English” comes from the Angles. They lived in most of England. “England” means “Angle Land” or “Country of the Angles”. The language that we speak today—Modern English—is not the same as the English that people used 1,500 years ago, including Old English (before 1150) and Middle English (up till 1500). That language—Old English—sounds different, and it has some different rules of grammar. There were only a few thousand words in Old English. But Modern English does come from Old English, and it is still like it in many important ways. 21. When did Modern English start? A. About the year 1150. B. Before the year 1500. C. Between the 12th century and the 16th century. D. About the year 1500. 22. How many languages did Old English come from? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 23. Which language did the name “English” come from? A. Modern English. B. The Angles. C. The Jutes. D. The Saxons. 24. According to the passage, modern English differs from Old English in _________. A. grammar B. pronunciation C. words D. All of the above 25. Which of the following sentences is TRUE? A. Modern English has nothing to do with Old English. B. Modern English has more words than Old English. C. Modern English has a vocabulary twice as large as Old English. D. There is no difference between Old English and Middle English. B Coffee has been a part of people's lives for thousands of years, and today it is still one of the most popular drinks in the world. Many people in the world begin their busy day by drinking a cup of coffee. They think that a cup of coffee in the morning helps them begin their day in the right way. So they say a cup of coffee is necessary for them in the morning. Do you know what is in the coffee that makes our bodies and brains active? It is caffeine. Caffeine may increase a person's mental and physical abilities (精力和体能). For example, two cups of coffee will make you breathe faster and augment body heat. All this makes your heart beat faster, and doctors warn that this may be a little dangerous. Caffeine is found in tea, coffee, chocolate and some other foods. A little caffeine is probably not harmful. But too much caffeine can make people nervous and sleepless. 26. A good title for this passage is _________. A. Coffee Is Harmful B. Coffee and Tea C. Caffeine and Health D. Caffeine Is Useful 27. The word “augment” means _________. A. increase B. drink C. stop D. make less 28. From the passage we learn that drinking a cup of coffee late at night might _________. A. give you a headache B. make you fall asleep C. keep you awake D. be dangerous 29. Caffeine is found in _________. A. tea and water B. chocolate, meat and some other foods C. coffee and jam D. coffee, tea and some other foods 30. Which of the following sentences is NOT true? A. Coffee has been a part of people's lives for thou-sands of years. B. Caffeine does no harm to our body. C. Two cups of coffee will make you breathe faster and increase body heat. D. Caffeine may increase humans' mental and phys ical abilities. C I went on a camping trip in the mountains with my classmates. After hiking all day, we found a place to camp for the night. We made a campfire① so that we could cook our dinner. We roasted some hot dogs and potatoes and drank lemonade. Then, when it got dark, we told ghost stories around the campfire. Later when we lay down to go to sleep, we listened to the sound of crickets (蟋蟀) and small animals moving around in the grass. We thought there were some ghosts nearby. “What's that?” I asked. “I think I can hear someone walking in the woods,” Kathy said. Soon we all heard footsteps and we were all so scared② that we couldn't get to sleep. Of course, there was no one there, but we had wild imagination. 31. 写出①②处单词或短语的意思。 ①_________ ②_________ 32. 根据释义,写出文中所含有的单词。 ① to cook over a fire: __________________ ② the sound made each time your foot touches the ground when walking : _________ 根据短文内容,回答下列问题。 33. What did the students in the story do on their camping trip? _____________________________________________ 34. Why did they make a campfire? _____________________________________________ 35. Why were they scared? _____________________________________________ D Turtles and tortoises have been on planet Earth even before the dinosaurs. They are that old. The difference between a turtle and a tortoise is that the turtle lives in water while the tortoise lives on land. But both creatures have one thing in common: they have a long life, from 120 years to almost 200 years! Some of them are huge, like the giant tortoises of the Galapagos Islands—they weigh more than 200kg；their shells are more than a metre long. The beauty is that they hatch from eggs that are no bigger than a hen's. They manage to live so long because the important parts of their bodies do not become weak with age, as in the case of humans and birds. In fact, they continue to grow very, very slowly for as long as they live. Their bodies do not need much energy to survive. They can live for long periods without water or food. Turtles and tortoises face other risks to their lives. After birth, their shells take some months to become hard. Till then, they are easy prey(被捕食的动物) for birds and fish. The other risk to their life comes from pollution of their living environment. 根据短文填写下列表格。 III. 完形填空(Cloze) (共20小题,计20分) A) 阅读下面的短文,根据其内容从所给的15个单词中选出最恰当的10个填入空中。 want；between；possible；whom；surprised；buy；known;amazed；make；who；seen；only；see；inside；killed
