【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel.
Green said, “Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves. Look over the countryside and you will see that I am in the majority.”
Blue interrupted, “You only think about the earth, but consider the sky and the sea. It is the water that is the basis of life.”
Yellow chuckled(咯咯地笑). “The sun is yellow, as well as the moon and the stars. Every time you look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile.”
Red could bear it no longer. “I am the ruler of all of you. I am blood-life's blood! I am the color of danger and bravery. I bring fire into the blood. I am the color of passion and love.”
Purple stood at his full height. “I am the color of royalty(皇室) and power. I am the sign of authority (權(quán)力) and wisdom. People do not question me! They listen and obey.”
Finally Indigo(靛藍(lán)) spoke with determination, “Think of me and I am the color of silence. I represent thought and reflection. You need me for balance and contrast(對(duì)比), for prayer and inner peace.”
The colors went on boasting(吹噓), each showing off his or her own advantages. Suddenly there came a flash of bright lightening. Thunder rolled and boomed. Rain started to pour down. The colors were scared to death.
In the midst of the quarrelling, rain began to speak, “You foolish colors. Don't you know that you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different? Join hands with one another and come to me.”
Doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands.
From then on, when it rains, colors will stretch across the sky in a great bow of color.
Whenever a rainbow appears in the sky, let us remember to appreciate one another.
(1)Why did the colors quarrel?
A.Because they often fought for some reasons.
B.Because they were not liked by each other.
C.Because they all claimed to be the best.
D.Because they all wanted to rule other colors.
(2)To show their power, the kings would prefer to ________.
A.yellow
B.red
C.indigo
D.purple
(3)We can know that ________.
A.the colors lived in peace at last
B.rain was the ruler of the colors
C.the colors kept quarrelling all the time
D.thunder was angry with the boasting
(4)The rainbow across the sky reminds us that ________.
A.the rain bow is the sign of the rain
B.each color is unique and different
C.everything should be put in right order
D.joining hands makes perfect

【答案】
(1)C
(2)D
(3)A
(4)D

⑴ 細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文中顏色間的爭(zhēng)吵和各自的吹噓可知,他們都想證明自己是最好的,所以答案是C。

⑵ 細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文中Purple stood at his full height. “I am the color of royalty(皇室) and power可知,紫色是代表皇室和權(quán)力的,所以答案是D。

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
Astronauts on shorter shuttle missions (使命) often work very long days. Tasks are scheduled so tightly that break times are often used to finish the tightly that break times are often used to finish the day's work. This type of scheduled is far too demanding for long missions on the International Space Station (ISS). ISS crewmembers usually live in space for at least a quarter of a year. They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on Earth as much as possible. Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework. They can communicate with family and friends by email, internet phone and through private video conferences.
While astronauts cannot go to a baseball game or a movie in orbit, there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy. Before a mission, the family and friends of each ISS crewmember put together a collection of family photos, messages, videos and reading material for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilometers above the Earth.
During their mission, the crew also receives care packages with CDs, books, magazines, photos and letters. And as from early 2010, the internet became available on the ISS, giving astronauts the chance to do some “web surfing(沖浪)”in their personal time. Besides relaxing with these more common entertainments, astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space.
Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out the window and stare at the universe and the Earth. Both the shuttle and the ISS circle the planet several times each day, and every moment offers a new view of the Earth's vast land mass and oceans.
(1)What does the word “mimic” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Find.
B.Copy.
C.Change.
D.Lose.
(2)Which of the following best describes the families of the astronauts on the ISS?
A.They are caring and thoughtful.
B.They are worried and annoyed.
C.They are impatient and annoyed.
D.They are excited and curious.
(3)In the final paragraph, the author shows that astronauts ________.
A.get more pleasure in space than on the Earth.
B.finding living in space a bit boring and tiring
C.regard space life as common
D.love to see the Earth from space
(4)The passage mainly discusses how astronauts ________.
A.work for longer missions in space
B.connect with people on the Earth
C.observe with Earth from space
D.spend their free time in space

【題目】Known as GC-1, the drug reportedly speeds up metabolism(新陳代謝), or burning off, of fat cells. “GC-1 dramatically increases the metabolic rate, essentially transforming white fat, which stores extra calories and is associated with obesity and metabolic disease, into a fat like calorie-burning brown fat,” said Kevin Phillips, a researcher in Houston.

Until several years ago, scientists thought that only animals and human babies have energy-burning, "good" brown fat. “It is now clear,” Phillips said, “that human adults do have brown fat, but appear to lose its calorie-burning activity over time.” White fat has a bad effect on people when the body has too much of it. Some published research shows that people who have more brown fat have a reduced risk of obesity. Researchers are now working on ways to “brown” white fat, or change it into brown fat.

GC-1 works, according to Phillips. He said he and other researchers have tested the drug in hundreds of mice. Obese mice, both genetically obese and those with diet-induced obesity, received GC-1 treatment daily. Genetically obese mice lost weight and more than 50 percent of their fat mass in approximately two weeks, Phillips reported. He said mice with diet-induced obesity experienced similar improvements. The drug also caused adaptive thermogenes(適應(yīng)性發(fā)熱)in fat cells from mice. Cells grown in a dish, as well as tissue samples taken from obese mice, showed evidence of white-fat browning. “Our data prove that GC-1 is a novel fat-browning agent that may have use in the treatment of obesity and metabolic disease,”Phillips said.

The drug has not yet been tested for weight loss in humans. However, Phillips said it wouldn’t be long before it was used as a way of losing weight.

1What is the writer's purpose of writing this passage?

A. To prove the harm of a new drug.

B. To introduce a new drug to people.

C. To explain the development of a new drug.

D. To inform people of some health knowledge.

2In the past, people held the belief that ________.

A. human babies have brown fat

B. animals don't have brown fat

C. only human adults have brown fat

D. brown fat may lose its activity over time

3What can we know about GC-1?

A. It can be used to treat obesity.

B. It is a cure for heart disease.

C. It is a drug intended for mice.

D. It has been sold in the drug store.

4Which of the following can make people lose weight?

A. Increasing more white fat.

B. Burning off more brown fat.

C. Changing white fat into brown fat.

D. Slowing down the activity of brown fat.

【題目】My husband and I had been married nearly twenty-two years when I acquired Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a disorder where my immune system (免疫系統(tǒng)) responded to a virus by producing painful blisters (水皰). Although my long-term evaluation was good, I, who had been so fiercely independent, rapidly became absolutely helpless.

My husband, Scott, stepped up to the plate, taking care of kids and cooking dinners. He also became my personal caretaker, applying the medicine to all of my blisters because my hands couldn’t do the job. Needless to say, I had negative emotions, bouncing from embarrassment to shame caused by total reliance on someone other than myself.

At one point when I had mentally and physically hit bottoms I remember thinking that Scott must somehow love me more than I could ever love him. With my illness, he had become the stronger one, and I the weaker one. And this disturbed me.

I recovered from my illness, but I couldn’t seem to recover from the thought that I loved my husband less than he loved me. This seeming distinction in our love continued to annoy me for the year following my illness.

Then recently Scott and I went on a long bike ride. He’s an experienced cyclist; I’m quite the green hand. At one point with a strong headwind and sharp pain building in my tired legs, I really thought I couldn’t go any further. Seeing me struggle, Scott pulled in front of me and yelled over his shoulder, “Stay close behind me.” As I fell into the draft of his six- foot- three- inch frame and followed his steps, I discovered that my legs quit burning and I was able to catch my breath. My husband was pulling me along again. At this very moment I woke up to what I now believe: during these and other tough times, love has the opportunity to become stronger when one partner learns to lean on the other.

I pray my husband will always be strong and healthy. But if he should ever become the struggling one, whether on a bike ride or with an illness, I trust I’ll be ready to call out to him: Stay close behind me-my turn to pull you along.

1What made the author feel helpless?

A. Her treatment failure.

B. Her husband caring for her too much.

C. Her losing the previous independence.

D. Her suffer ring from illness and mental disorder.

2Which of the following can best describe the author’s husband?

A. Family-centered.

B. Not good at taking action.

C. Career-centered.

D. Independent but tired of negative emotions.

3What did the author’s husband do when going on the long bike ride?

A. Followed her closely. B. Gave in to her depression.

C. Backed her up all the way. D. Stopped to take care of her.

4Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “stepped up to the plate” in paragraph 2?

A. Moved into batting position. B. Began to take the responsibility.

C. Walked to the kitchen. D. Began to wash the plates.
