In the 19th century, Americans from the eastern states moved out west to settle in the rich new lands along the Pacific Coast. The most difficult part of their trip was crossing “the Great American Desert” in the western part of the United States by horse and wagon.
The western desert can be very dangerous. There is little water and there are few trees. But the desert also has scenery of great beauty. Tall towers of red and yellow stone rise sharply from the flat, sandy valley floor. The scene has been photographed many times and appears in movies and on TV.
In Arizona, man-made dams across the Colorado River have made two large lakes in the middle of the dry desert country. At Lake Powell, the red stone arch of Rainbow Bridge rises high above the blue lake.
There are few roads. Many areas of Lake Powell’s shore can only be reached by boat or on foot. But hikers in this empty desert land sometimes find very old native American pictures, painted on the rocks.
In Death Valley, California, the summer temperature rises to 130°F—165°F. There is less than inches of rain each year. Death Valley is the lowest place in America---925 metres below sea level. In the 1800s, many travelers died when they tried to cross this waterless valley in the terrible heat.
Although the desert is dry and seems empty, there is plenty of life if you look closely. Snakes and rats have learned how to live in the desert heat. They live underground and come out at night, when it is cool. Plants such as cacti need very little water. When it does rain in the desert (sometimes only once or twice a year), plants grow quickly, and flowers open in a single day. For a short time, the desert is covered with brilliant (very bright) colours.
【小題1】In the 19th century, Americans moved from east to west because they            .

A．enjoyed the tripB．wanted to make their home there
C．wanted to find new grassland thereD．had no water to drink
【小題2】From this passage. we can conclude that         .
A．the western desert is a good place for people to live in
B．there is little water but there are many trees in the desert
C．the desert is dangerous but it is full of beauty
D．till now, people know little about the desert
【小題3】In the 1800s, many travelers died in Death Valley because of            .
A．illnessB．high temperature
C．cold weatherD．poisonous water
【小題4】In the desert, animals will die           .
A．if they move aboutB．if they can’t make holes underground
C．if they come out at nightD．if they drink much water

It’s not the first movie to show the end of the world. But in the latest box office hit 2012 it is neither aliens nor a killer disease that threaten the human race, but climate change.
Some say the film lacks good dialogue and its science is questionable， others believe German director Roland Emmerich makes up for these flaws in special effects. An earthquake destroys the White House and Yellow stone  National Park ends up in flames．
Emmerich borrows from the old Mayan(瑪雅人的) story which says, that the world will end in 2012．He is being criticized for fuelling Internet rumors(傳聞) about doomsday(世界末日)
“There is no factual basis for these claims,’’ NASA said on its website. “Credible(可信賴的) scientists worldwide know of no threat connected with 2012,’’ it insisted. “After all, our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years, ” they added．
According to the UK’s Daily Telegraph, it was first thought that the disaster would happen in May 2003. When the world continued, supporters picked the last day of the Mayan calendar．
“Every culture has a myth(傳說) of destruction(毀滅), just as they have a myth of creation. These myths |of destruction tend to surface(重新出現(xiàn)) during times of crisis(危機), ” Michael A. Ryan, an assistant profess of history，speaking to Purdue University News. Ryan studies apocalyptic(像世界末日的) themes from the Middle Ages at the US university. “Today’s current economic climate is a state of crisis for many people who are worried whether they can afford to feed themselves,”he added.
【小題1】What led to the end of the world according to the film 2012?

A．Aliens．B．The human race．C．Climate change．D．A killer disease．
【小題2】What does the underlined word “fuelling’’ in the third paragraph refer to?
A．Making sth. stronger．．B．Putting gas into a car．
C．Producing power or heat．D．Burning
【小題3】Which of the following statements about the film 2012 is TRUE according to the text?
A．A big fire destroys Yellow-stone National Park．
B．All scientists in the world know of no threat connected with 2012．
C． The old Mayan story says that the world will end in
D．Every culture has a myth of destruction rather than creation
【小題4】Why do the rumors about doomsday come about now and then?

第三部分  閱讀（共兩節(jié)，滿分40分）

第一節(jié)  閱讀理解（共15小題，每小題2分，滿分30分）

閱讀下列三篇短文，從每題所給的四個選現(xiàn)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

American like to visit the national parks. In 1996, over 250,000,000 people visited areas run by the National Park Service. Experts predict that by 2010, 500,000,000 people per year will visit the parks. As a result, people are trying to think of ways to protect the parks from the crowds.

The crowding of the parks has caused several problems. One is that there is not enough space for all of the people who want to use the parks. To cope with this problem, national parks may require reservations months in advance for some spots. The Park Service may also raise entrance fees at these places.

Another problem caused by increased park use is pollution. Some garbage and waste can be cleaned up, and the cleanup can be paid for by increased entrance fees. To cut down on noise pollution and air pollution, officials may decrease the number of cars allowed in parks. If this happens, people may use buses to travel around the parks. Officials may also limit the use of jet-skis, snowmobiles (摩托雪橇), motorboats, and sightseeing helicopters and planes.

The parks are also threatened by development that is going on around them. For example, around Yellow Stone Park, many motels (汽車旅館), golf courses, resorts, and other tourist attractions have been built. Some of these developments affect areas that are used by animals. People will have to learn to agree about ways to protect the parks. If they do not, there will soon be no reason to visit these national treasures.

1. By 2010, the number of visitors will rise by ______ per year.

A. 250 million              B. 500 million              C. 2.5 billion         D. 5 billion

2. If you want to visit the national parks, you may have to _____ in the future.

A. pay less than before                         B. stay there for months

C. book the ticket before months           D. fill in a form to apply for the ticket

3. Entrance fees may be increased _______.

A. just for the benefit of the National Park Service

B. either to limit the number of visitors or to pay for the cleaner

C. not only to protect the animals but to reduce the noise pollution

D. merely for the development of the national parks

4. What does the underlined sentence in the passage mean?

A. People are not supposed to visit the national parks for fear that they will harm the animals.

B. Only if more man-made tourist attractions are built will more people visit the parks.

C. It is reasonable to keep the balance between the development of the parks and the reserve.

D. People will not visit the national parks since there are no golf courses and resorts.

5. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. High fees may probably keep some people out of parks.

B. Helicopters and planes will not be used in parks any longer.

C. The bus will become the only toot in parks with the purpose of pollution reduction.

D. The National Park Service welcomes as many visitors as possible.
