No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world, but estimates ( 估计) suggest the

figure is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total

population of Canada.

In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people has some disability. Disability is not just something that

happens to other people: as we get older, many of us will become less mobile, hard of hearing or have failing

eyesight.

Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities.

Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time

goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of

disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people's attitude towards them.

Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or go to work or visit friends,

imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or onto buses and trains. How would you cope if

you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can

be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably (不可避免地) represents by far the greatest barrier of all.

It is almost impossible for the ablebodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is

important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability, not their

disability, that counts.

5. The first paragraph points out that ________.

A. there are many disabled people in the world

B. the number of disabled people in India is the greatest

C. India has much more disabled people than Canada

D. it is impossible to get an exact figure of the world's disabled people

6．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Even the ablebodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.

B. There are about 10 percent disabled persons in the UK.

C. The whole society should pay attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.

D. There no longer exists prejudice against the disabled.

7．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A. we should try our best to prevent disablement

B. both physical and mental barriers are hard to break down

C. we must take a proper attitude towards the disabled

D. the ablebodied people will never fully understand the disabled

Having a great collection of books at home doesn’t really mean that you are a person who has a passion for

literature and reading. It can be a family inheritance（继承） or it can be just to impress people around you

about the fact that you are a person of culture. On the other hand, there are many persons who cannot afford to

buy books, because some of them are quite expensive, but they usually go to libraries and spend hours reading

something that interests them a lot, or just borrow books to read at home.

From my point of view, literature is very important in our lives from several points of view. For example,

reading is a means of gaining culture and enriching our knowledge in different areas of activities. It can help us

have a great imagination and it makes things easier when it comes to making compositions on different themes.

It gives you the possibility to speak about science, even if you don’t work in this field, or you can express your

opinion about a political aspect, just because you have read something connected to that.

Secondly, literature offers us the possibility to enter the world of imagination, and to leave apart the real

one for a couple of hours. We come to meet kings and queens many years ago, dream in the world of the rich or

imagine how life will be in the future. Sometimes, we identify ourselves with the characters in the stories we

read and they can give us some clues to solve our problems and how to react in certain circumstances.

To conclude, I would like to say that literature is the perfect means to enrich our culture, to express

correctly and have a rich vocabulary, to be able to interfere（干涉） in conversations in different fields of

interest and to really be considered an erudite person.

8．The people who are fond of literature are those that _________.

A．go to libraries on weekends

B．buy expensive books in the bookstore

C．keep many books in their studies

D．have much interest in reading

9．We can learn from the third paragraph that _________.

A．we can bring kings and queens back to life

B．what we read can be useful in our daily life

C．it is very good for us to stay alone for some hours

D．we can make friends with the people in the stories

10．The underlined word “erudite” in the last paragraph probably means_________.

A．hard-working B．enthusiastic

C．learned D．creative

11．What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage？

A．To advise readers to like reading.

B．To explain the true meaning of reading.

C．To tell readers how to read a book.

D．To tell readers who has the real passion for literature.

What do you know about the sea? We know that it looks very pretty when the sun is shining on it. We also

know that it can be very rough when there is a strong wind. What other things do we know about it?

The first thing to remember is that the sea is very big. When you look at the map of the world you will find

there is more water than land. The sea covers three quarters of the world.

The sea is also very deep in some places. It is not deep everywhere. Some parts of the sea are very shallow.

But in some places the depth of the sea is very great. There is one spot ，near Japan, where the sea is nearly 11

kilometers deep! The highest mountain in the world is about 9 kilometers high. If that mountain were put into

the sea at that place，there would be 2 kilometers of water above it! What a deep place!

If you have swum in the sea, you know that it is salty. You can taste the salt. Rivers, which flow into the

sea，carry salt from the land into the sea. Some parts of the sea are more salty than other parts. There is one sea,

called the Dead Sea, which is very salty. It is so salty that swimmers cannot sink! Fish cannot live in the Dead

Sea!

In most parts of the sea ，there are plenty of fishes and plants. Some live near the top of the sea ，and

others live deep down. There are also millions of tiny living things that float in the sea. These floating things are

so small that it is hard to see them. Many fish live by eating these.

The sea can be very cold. Divers, who go deep down in the sea, know this. On the top the water may be

warm. When the diver goes downwards, the sea becomes colder and colder. Another thing happens. When the

diver goes deeper，the water above presses down on him. It squeezes(压榨) him.Then the diver has to wear

clothes made of metal. But he cannot go very deep. Some people who wanted to go very deep used a very strong

diving ship! They went down to the deepest part of the sea in it. They went down to a depth of eleven

kilometers!

12. When does the sea look beautiful?

A. When it is calm.

B. When the weather is fine.

C. When there is a strong wind.

D. When there is a storm.

13. Why does the author cite(引用) the sea somewhere near Japan?

A. To show that the sea in some places is very deep.

B. To show that the sea in some places is very rough.

C. To show that its depth is 9 kilometers greater than the height of the highest mountain.

D. To show that its depth is 11 kilometers greater than the height of the highest mountain.

14. Which of the following statements about the Dead Sea is NOT true?

A. There are plenty of fishes in it.

B. It is a safe place for swimmers.

C. It is extremely salty.

D. No fish can be found in it.

15．Why can't people go very deep in the sea?

A. Because the deepest part of the sea is very cold.

B. Because the deepest part of the sea is very rough.

C. Because the pressure of water at great depths is unendurable(无法忍受的)．

D. Because the deepest part of sea is very salty.

　第二节　阅读理解七选五 (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。

Zoo animals VS animals in the wild

Zoo animals usually live longer than their wild counterparts. This is because they have access to medical

care and better nutrition in zoos. Moreover, there is a lack of predators (捕食者). __16__ Elderly wild animals

lose their strength, ability to find and digest food and often lose their social standing in their species social

structure. Zoos are learning how to care for old animals.

Boredom is a big problem for animals in zoos and something animals in the wild do not have to face.

Animal experts believe that a small place produces boredom. __17__ They also provide companies and hide

pieces of food so the animals have to search for it as in the wild.

__18__ A case in point is the Asiatic wild horse. The species was hunted to extinction in the wild by 1969.

The entire world population is kept at the National Zoo in Washington, DC. All of those animals were zooborn.

Animals living in the wild may come into contact with people. The animals may hunt livestock ( 家畜) or

eat farmers' crops. __19__ In good zoos, people can see that these animals are not just able to make trouble, but

lead complex lives. This can help people save the animal and the habitat needed to keep the animal alive in the

wild.

Wild animals often reproduce better when they are in the wild. __20__ One of the remarkable examples is

the female giant panda. Using artificial (人工的) means has helped raise the worldwide panda population. Also,

by trying to recreate the animal's natural living conditions as much as possible, zoo animals will breed.

A. The goals of zoos have changed.

B. However, some animals are an exception.

C. As a result, they are considered harmful and are hunted.

D. If they live in the wild, they have to battle against them.

E. Even so, it often leaves one to wonder if the animals live well.

F. For some species, living in zoos is the only way the species can survive.

G. So good zoos have replaced all metal cages for those animals that used to live in large areas.

My fiance (未婚夫）and I were excited about shopping for our first home. But our funds ( 资金) were

21 , and none of the houses in our price range seemed satisfactory.

One agent 22 a house in particular. Although her description sounded wonderful, the price was 23 our

range, so we declined (拒绝). But she kept urging us to have a look 24 .

We finally did and it was 25 at first sight. It was Our Home, small and charming, overlooking a quiet lake.

Walking through the rooms and talking with the owners, a nice elderly couple, we felt the warmth and 26 of the

marriage within that home. As perfect as it was, the price remained too high for us. But every day, we would sit

by the lake, looking at the house and dreaming of 27 it would be like to live there.

Days later, we made a(n) 28 —far below the asking price. Surprisingly, they didn’t 29 us. They renewed

their offer 30 . It was also much more than we could afford but far 31 than the original asking price.

The next day, we got a 32 message that another buyer had offered a much higher price. Even so, we

decided to talk with the 33 directly. We made our final offer, which 34 was thousands of dollars less than the

other buyer’s bid. We knew it, 35 we had to try.

“Sold!” said the owner. Then he 36 : He’d seen us sitting by the lake all those times; he knew how much

we loved the place and that we’d 37 the years of work they had put into their home; he realized he would take a

38 by selling it to us, but it was worthwhile; we were the people they wanted to live there. He told us to

consider the 39 in the price as “an early wedding present.”

That’s how we found our home and how I learned that when people are 40 they are not strangers, only

friends we haven’t yet met.
