Mr. Reese was born in a big city. His father had several companies and got a lot of money. He could give
his son all the young man wanted. He was busy with his business and never asked him how he got along
with his studies. So the boy spent most time in the restaurants or cinemas. Of course he was weak in his

in the south of the earth. Australia is big, but its population is not large. The population of Australia is nearly
as large as that of Shanghai.

water pollution. The sky is blue and the water is clean. You can clearly see fish swimming in the rivers.

Last month we visited Perth, the biggest city in Western Australia, and went to a wild flowers' exhibition.
There we saw a large number of wild flowers we had never seen before. We had a wonderful time. Perth is
famous for its beautiful wild flowers. In spring every year Perth has the wild flowers' exhibition. After
visiting Perth, we spent the day in the countryside. We sat down and had a rest near a path at the foot of a
hill. It was quiet and we enjoyed ourselves. Suddenly we heard bells ringing at the top of the hill. What we
saw made us pick up all our things and run back to the car as quickly as we could. There were about three
hundred sheep coming towards us down the path.

yourself in the middle of white sheep. Sheep, sheep everywhere are sheep.

If your cellphone suddenly stops working, don't blame the service provider. The malfunction(故障)
might have been caused by something bigger---a solar storm. Experts expect that the earth will see more
solar activities in the near future. The malfunction of electronic devices is just one of the effects.
Sunspots(太阳黑子) serve as an Indicator(标志) of the sun’s activity. For the past two years, sunspots
have mostly been missing. Their absence, the longest in nearly 100 years, has taken even sun watchers by
surprise.
When the number of sunspots drops at the end of each 11-year cycle, solar storms die down and all
become much calmer. This "solar minimum" doesn’t' t last long. Within a year, sunspots and solar storms
begin to build toward a new crescendo-the next solar maximum.
What's special about this latest cycle is that the sun is having trouble starting the next solar cycle. The sun
began to calm down in late 2007, so no one expected many sunspots in 2008. They should return in 2010.
Scientists have predicted that the next solar cycle could be the most active on record: more sunspots and
more solar storms. However, sunspots are mostly missing now
Since the earth is in close contact with the sun, strong solar activities can bring trouble to our life. People
of the 21st century rely on high-tech systems for the basics of daily life. Air travel and radio
communications can be affected by strong solar activities. A big solar storm could cause 20 times more
economic damage than Hurricane Katrina.
What the sun will do next is beyond our ability to predict most astronomers think that the solar cycle will
go on but at low level. However, there is also evidence that the sun is losing its ability to produce sunspots.
By 2015, they could be gone altogether.
13. The sun watchers feel surprised at
A. the longest sunspots' absence B. the largest sunspot number
C. the malfunction of electronic devices D. the serious damage by sunspots
14. What does the underlined word “crescendo” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. small number B. high level C. usual cycle D. fresh start
15. Which statement does the text lead you to believe?
A. Solar activities do no harm to our daily life B. Hurricane Katrina is also a type of solar storms
C. It's difficult to predict sunspots. D. From now on there're no sunspots.
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。
Happy birthday! Do birthdays really make people happy? 16.______Birthdays celebrate the day when
we were born. Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggests another year of growth and maturity(成熟)-or
so we hope. We all like to imagine that we are getting wiser and not just older. Most of us enjoy seeing the
wonder of growth in others, as well. For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes
us feel proud. For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process. But growing
old? 17._______Growing old is not exactly pleasant for people in youth-oriented( 以年轻人为中心的)
American culture.18.________As the old saying goes, "You're as young as you feel.”Older people joke
about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People in some countries value the
aged as a source of experience and wisdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least
"young at heart".
Many older Americans find the "golden years” to be anything but golden. Economically, "senior citizens”
often struggle just to get by. Retirement at the age of 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income. Social
security benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition,
medical care, and housing. 19.______ American sociologist Pat Moore once dressed up like an older person
and wandered city streets. She was often treated rudely——even cheated and robbed.
However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect,
20._______Why? People are living longer. Fewer babies are being born. And middle-aged “baby
boomers are rapidly entering the group of the elderly, America may soon be a place where wrinkles( 皱
