【解析】

1.1】這里的意思是“曾經(jīng)有一個(gè)國王酷愛音樂，想尋找世界上最好的樂器”， the加最高級，所以用good的最高級best。

2.2】it 在這里指代巫師提供給國王的“豎琴”，所以填it，句意是：國王把他帶到宮殿。

3.3】根據(jù)句意應(yīng)是“當(dāng)國王開始演奏的時(shí)候，豎琴跑調(diào)”，這里缺少一個(gè)引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句的詞，所以填when。

4.4】句意是：很多其他的音樂家試著用它演奏。把music 變成音樂家musician，因?yàn)槭呛芏嘁魳芳宜砸脧?fù)數(shù)形式，故填musicians。

5.5】The harp 和throw 之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，講的是過去的事，所以用一般過去時(shí)態(tài)的被動(dòng)語態(tài)，The harp是單數(shù)形式，故填was thrown。句意是：豎琴被作為垃圾扔了。

6.6】decide 和found 之間是并列關(guān)系，所以也用一般過去時(shí)態(tài)，故填decided

7.7】副詞修飾整個(gè)句子，在這里要用副詞，所以用sudden 的副詞形式suddenly，故填suddenly。

8.8】harp 是單數(shù)，所以這里用不定冠詞，句意是“它是一把魔幻的豎琴，故填a。

9.9】固定搭配be filled with …被---填滿，句意是“當(dāng)國王聽見這把豎琴演奏時(shí)，他充滿了快樂。故填filled。

10.10】考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。made 是句子的謂語動(dòng)詞，give 前面沒有并列連詞，所以give 要用非謂語動(dòng)詞，根據(jù)句意這里應(yīng)該是現(xiàn)在分詞表示伴隨狀語，故填giving。句意是：在那時(shí)刻國王把這個(gè)女孩當(dāng)作他自己的私人樂師，給了她和她的家人很多財(cái)富。

考點(diǎn)：考查語法填空。

Close your eyes and picture the city of Paris．Now imagine the city without its most famous landmark：the Eiffel Tower．

The unthinkable almost happened．

When French engineer Gustave Eiffel built this tower for the Paris World’s Fair of 1889，it was controversial．The iron structure contrasted(對比)sharply with the historic stone buildings of Paris．Eiffel’s four-legged iron archway was supposed to last only 20 years．That’s when Eiffel’s permit to operate the building would expire(過期)and the city could choose to tear it down．

Yet from the beginning．Eiffel had a strategy to save his building．If the Tower was linked to important research，he reasoned，no one would dare to take it down．So he would make it a grand laboratory for science．

Scientific research began just one day after the Tower opened to the public on May 6，1889．Eiffel installed a weather station on the Tower’s third(and highest)floor．He connected instruments by wire to the French weather bureau in Paris．With these，he measured wind speed and air pressure．

In 1903，still worried that his building might be torn down，Eiffel got a clever idea．He asked the French military to conduct its own research on radio communications at the Tower．He even paid the army’s costs．

French army captain Gustave Ferrié worked from a little wooden house at the base of the Tower's southern pillar．From there，he made radio contact with forts around Paris．Convinced of the importance of radio communications，the army set up a permanent radio station at the Tower．In 1910，the city of Paris renewed the structure’s permit for another 70 years．

This year marks the iconic structure’s 125th birthday．Over the years，research conducted there has brought dramatic and unexpected payoffs．During World War I，for instance，the French army used the Tower as a giant ear to receive radio messages．It even led to the arrest of one of the war's most famous spies．

1.What does the author mean by“The unthinkable almost happened”?

A．The Eiffel Tower was almost torn down．

2.The Eiffel Tower was controversial because_____________．

A．it was giant and ugly

B．it would expire too soon

C．some historic buildings had to be removed

D．it didn’t match the historic buildings of Paris

3.How did Gustave Eiffel save the Eiffel Tower?

A．By asking the army to defend it．

B．By showing its importance for tourism．

C．By making it a base for scientific research．

D．By asking the government to renew its permit．

4.The arrest of a famous spy is mentioned to show．

A．the Eiffel Tower has lost its initial value

B．the Eiffel Tower has existed long enough

C．research done in the Eiffel Tower had unexpected payoffs

D．the Eiffel Tower was successfully preserved during the war

As temperatures go up, bison（北美野牛）get smaller. Joseph Craine, research assistant professor in the Division of Biology at Kansas State University, examined how climate change during the next 50 years will affect grazing（放牧）animals such as bison and cattle in the Great Plains.

“Bison are one of our most important conservation animals and hold a unique role in grasslands in North America,” Craine said. “In addition to their cultural and ecological significance, they’re economically important. There are about half a million bison in the world.” Craine analyzed a data set of 290,000 weights, ages and sexes collected from 22 bison herds（獸群）throughout the U. S. The organizations kept annual records of each animal in the herd and matched the data with the climates of the sites.

Based on differences in sizes of bison across herds, Craine found that during the next 50 years, future generations of bison will be smaller in size and weigh less. Climate is likely to reduce the nutritional quality of grasses, causing the animals to grow more slowly.

“We know that temperatures are going to go up,” Craine said. “We also know that warmer grasslands have grasses with less protein（蛋白質(zhì)）, and we now know that warmer grasslands have smaller grazers. It all lines up to suggest that climate change will cause grasses to have less protein and cause grazers to gain less weight in the future.”

Craine said the results of climate change in coming decades can already be seen by comparing bison in cooler, wetter places with those in warmer, drier places. For example, the average 7-year-old male bison in South Dakota weighed 1, 900 pounds, while an average 7- year-old male bison in Oklahoma — a warmer place — weighed 1, 300 pounds.

“The difference in temperature between those two states is around 20 degrees Fahrenheit, which is about three times the projected increase in temperatures over the next 75 years,” Craine said. “It is a clear indicator that long-term warming will affect bison and is something that will happen across the U.S. over the next 50-75 years.”

1.In the next fifty years, researchers Say, bison will ________.

A. become smaller and lighter

B. disappear in the Great Plains

C. play a less important part

D. adapt to different climate changes

2.The underlined word “grazers” probably refers to ________.

A. the researchers B. the grasses

C. the bison D. the protein

3.What is the main reason for the bison to become smaller?

A. The deceasing amount of grass.

B. The rising temperature.

C. The rising number of bison.

D. The loss of weight.

4.Paragraph 5 is written as an example to show ________.

A. Craine’s prediction will come true in 50 years

B. bison are smaller than in the past

C. the nature balance is being destroyed

D. bison’s size is linked with different climate

Speaking from my past experience, it is very difficult to find good friends that you can trust but once you have found them, they are worth keeping forever! Therefore, I think friendship is the most important relationship that anybody could have.

The qualities I look for in a friend are a good sense of humor but sensitivity when it matters. Also that friend would have to be strong-minded and highly spirited. I think that these qualities are the key qualities to look for in a good friend.

Even the strongest friends can still have arguments, although usually about more serious topics, rather than the usual teenage childish arguments. Some matters can seriously affect a friendship. If one of your friends started experimenting with harmful and dangerous drugs, what would you do ? A good friend would try to help as much as possible, whereas a bad example of a friend would simply shrug(聳肩) and turn a blind eye.

Not only the bad things affect friendship ---- good activities do too. Such as bonding with one another, not just by going out on a night with them but by spending quality time with them and talking to each other, which indicates a good ability to communicate. This is a key aspect of a good friendship.

Good friends do not always have to be in the same age group as you. I have a good friend and she is 47 years old and I am 16.

Unfortunately, some people lose contact with their friends as they grow older, which is a sad way to lose a good friend.

I think friendship is one of the most important things in life because if you have no friends you will have no happiness.

1.According to the author, true friendship _______.

A. is easy to get B. deepens with time

C. needs management D. affects one’s happiness

2.Paragraph 3 is mainly about______.

A. why drugs are bad for teenagers

B. problems that will test friendship

C. ways that help avoid arguments

D. whether a friend is trustworthy

3.According to the author, which matters least in friendship?

A. Age. B. Sensitivity.

C. Sense of humor. D. Communication ability.

4.Which of the following saying can match the author’s view on friendship?

A. Old friends and old wines are best.

B. A friend without faults will never be found.

C. A life without a friend is a life without the sun.

D. a friend to everybody is a friend to nobody.

My house is made out of wood, glass and stone. It is also made out of software.

If you come to visit, you'll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN （個(gè)人身份號碼）to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When it's dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.

Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console (控制臺), a small machine that turns things on and off around you.

The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.

I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the systems that I've put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I've put in today.

I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, "How will I live without them?"

1.What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. How to develop a new system.

B. The function of the PIN.

C. A home for the future.

D. Easy life in the future.

2.What's the purpose when the writer wrote the fourth paragraph?

A. To let readers know why his ideas are new.

B. To let readers know how special his house is.

C. To explain the importance of the PIN and the console.

D. To explain more easily what the functions of the PIN and the console are.

3.The writer's new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because _____.

A. it has been controlled by computers

B. you can make a telephone call anywhere

C. it has your favorite music following you

D. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice

4.What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage?

A. An IT expert. B. A famous doctor.

C. An idealist D. An experienced teacher.
