英语试题

第Ⅰ卷

第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分 35 分）

第一节：（共 10 个小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 25 分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该

项涂黑。

In storm-stricken Santa Clarita, California, last March, Margarito Martinez approached Runner Road

slowly. A small stream had overflowed onto the road. Martinez, driving a Toyota SUV, figured he’d be OK.

Halfway across, the rushing waters grabbed hold of his vehicle, sweeping it off the road and washing

it down a rocky stream bed. It finally stopped a good 80 feet away, when the water somehow lifted the

SUV and landed it on the ground at a 45-degree angle. Injured, shaken, and trapped inside with the muddy

water rising quickly and the door seriously damaged, Martinez was certain that he was going to die.

On the road right behind Martinez were a delivery worker and his niece. They watched the horror

unfold, and when Martinez’s SUV came to rest in the middle of the river, the man leaped to act. First, he

grabbed heavy-duty ropes from the back of his truck and fixed the SUV to nearby posts. Then he climbed

atop Martinez’s vehicle and struck on a rear window with his fists. Frustrated, he turned to his niece and

yelled, “Give me a rock!”

Over and over he smashed the rock into the window very hard, but in vain.“We were scared that

something else was going to come down and take the SUV, take him, take my uncle,” Krystina Reyes, 27,

told CBSLA. Her uncle has not publicly revealed his name.

Reyes’s uncle shouted to Martinez to move away from the window. He supported himself — right

foot on the spare tire, left in the wheel well. He leaned back and threw the rock. Finally, the glass broke

and the man kicked in the remaining pieces. Soon, a soaked Martinez came out through the window frame,

and the men escaped to dry land. Martinez was saved by an anonymous (匿名的) delivery worker.

1. Why did the delivery worker fix the SUV to nearby posts?

A. To prevent the car from being washed away.

B. To pull the car onto the bank with the truck.

C. To get the seriously damaged doors open.

D. To climb up to the top of the car easily.

2. Which of the following best describes the delivery worker?

A. Promising and kind. B. Ambitious and brave.

C. Determined and calm. D. Energetic and considerate.

3. Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A. A Brave SUV Driver B. A Decisive Rescue

C. A Horrible Experience D. A hotheaded Decision

If you think about it, work-life balance is a strange ambition for a fulfilling life. Balance is about stasis

(静止状态): if our lives were ever in balance — parents happy, kids taken care of, work working — then

our thought would be to shout "Nobody move!" and pray all would stay perfect forever. This false hope is

made worse by the categories themselves. They imply that work is bad, and life is good. And so the

challenge, we are told, is to balance the heaviness of work with the lightness of life.

Yet work is not the opposite of life. It is instead a part of life — just as family is, as are friends and

community. All of these aspects of living have their share of uplifting moments and moments that drag us

down. The same is true of work. Treat work the same way you do life: by maximizing what you love.

We have interviewed several anesthesiologists (麻醉师) about the thrills they feel in their jobs. One said

he loved the thrill of holding each patient hovering at that one precise point between life and death. Another

said she loved the bedside conversations before the operation aiming to calm the panic that affects many

patients.

The simplest way for you to do this is to spend a week in love with your job. During the week, any time

you find yourself feeling one of the signs of love write down exactly what you were doing in the column

"Love". And any time you find yourself feeling the inverse write down what you were doing in the column

"Loathe( 讨厌 )". By the end of the week you will see a list of activities in your "Love" column, which

create in you a positive feeling, one that draws you in and lifts you up. Our goal should be to, little by little,

week by week, intentionally unbalance all aspects of our work toward the former and away from the latter.

4. What is the author's attitude towards work-life balance?

A. Doubtful. B. Disapproving. C. Supportive. D. Neutral.

5. The author uses two anesthesiologists as examples to ________.

A. prove people benefit from work

B. indicate doctors take pride in their work

C. show people gain joy from different situations

D. imply doctors reduce the pressure of work successfully

6. Which of the following does the author probably agree with?

A. Sense of thrill is necessary for a balanced life.

B. Recording activities helps create positive feeling.

C. Find love in work instead of keeping work-life balance.

D. Maximize what you love to remove the heaviness from work.

The planet’s deepest point is in the Pacific Ocean's Mariana Trench (马里亚纳海沟), which lies miles

below the sea surface. According to a new study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, even in this

remote area, creatures cannot escape pollution.

A team of researchers recently sent a remotely operated vehicle into the depths of the Mariana Trench.

They found that extraordinarily high levels of forbidden industrial chemicals are polluting marine life more

than 7 miles deep in the trench. The small hard-shelled marine life that the robotic submarine ( 潜艇 )

brought to the surface was polluted with toxic (有毒的) chemicals, with toxin levels 50 times greater than

those of the most heavily polluted rivers in the world.

These pollution levels were not the only alarming aspect of the discovery. The types of compounds

found were all considered “persistent organic pollutants” (POPs), meaning they stick around in the

environment for a very long time. Two of the most common types are PCBs and PBDEs. PCBs were once

used in many industrial applications, but were outlawed in the United States in the 1970s after being linked

to cancer. Similarly, PBDEs were used in a wide range of products — from electronics to couch cushions.

Neither chemical breaks down in the environment.

These compounds stick to the surface of materials like plastic. Many creatures mistakenly eat this

colorful but toxic material, causing the POPs to build up in their bodies, lurking in their fat tissues. When

these sea creatures die, their POP-riddled bodies sink to the ocean floor, where deep-sea marine life eat

their remains. POPs are therefore transferred to other creatures along the food chain.

The Mariana Trench is many miles away from any industrial source. This suggests that these

pollutants travel over long distances despite having been prohibited worldwide decades ago.

7. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The decrease of polluted creatures in the food chain.

B. Using remote control in research on marine pollution.

C. Pollution of the deep sea by persistent toxic chemicals.

D. Types of chemical pollution caused by industrial applications.

8. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “POP-riddled” in paragraph 4?

A. Operated by POPs. B. Filled with POPs.

C. Completed with POPs. D. Deserted by POPs.

9. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

A. PCBs are often used in making electronic products.

B. Chemicals washed down to the ocean stay on the surface.

C. The deepest point of the Mariana Trench is free from pollution.

D. A robotic vehicle was used to help study pollution in the Mariana Trench.

10. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A. Marine pollution poses a threat to human health.

B. Strict regulations are being developed to stop ocean pollution.

C. PCBs and PBDEs become less harmful over long periods of time.

D. Chemical pollution is more serious in rivers than in industrial areas.

第二节（共5小题；每小题 2分，满分 10 分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

It has been suspected that whale sharks, the biggest fish in the sea, are long-lived, and now this has

been confirmed using a carbon dating technique. 11

Steven Campana is a researcher from the University of Iceland in Reykjavik. 12 It makes a big

difference whether they are fast-growing and short-lived, or slow-growing and long-lived.

13 They don't have the bony structures in their ears that are used to work out the age of most fish.

Instead, sharks’ age can be measured based on growth rings in their cartilaginous vertebrae ( 软骨椎骨)，

and these growth rings form at different rates in different species.

Two decades ago, Campana’s team showed that growth-ring-based age could be checked by looking at

levels of the carbon-14 isotope ( 同位素) in the rings. 14 For instance, it was thought that great white

sharks lived only 12 to 15 years, but recent studies have shown individuals as old as 73.
