Rubber ducks are being used to help scientists understand global warming and melting glaciers(冰川). NASA researchers have 21 90 ducks into holes in Greenland's fastest moving glacier, the Jakobshavn Glacier between Greenland and Canada. The 22 have each been marked with the words "science experiment" along with an e-mail address. If they are found scientists will be able to 23 how the water moves through the ice and provide information about the 24 of glaciers. Scientists are still 25 about why glaciers speed up in summer and head towards the sea. One theory is that as the summer sun melts ice on top of the glacier’s surface, the water moves to the bottom of the glacier, where it helps to 26 the movement of ice towards the coast. The Jakobshavn Glacier is believed to be the 27 of the iceberg that sank the Titanic in 1912. Robert Jones, the experiment organizer, said none of the ducks had been 28 yet. “We haven’t heard back but it may take some time until somebody actually finds it and decides to send us a/an 29 that they have found it,” he
said. “These are places that are 30 so there aren't many people walking around."
21. A. flown B. buried C. hidden D. dropped

28. A. hurt B. eaten C. missing D. reported
29. A. email B. card C. fax D. sign
30. A. hidden B. lost C. remote D. quiet
[答案解析]
21.D 考查动词辨析,根据上下文,科学家应该是投放(dropped)了90只玩具鸭子,所以选D。
22.B 从上文的“Rubber ducks”可以看出来,这些都是玩具鸭子,所以用toys。
23.C 此处表达的意思为如果这些玩具鸭子被找到的话,科学家就能够了解(learn)水是如何在冰与冰之间流动的,而且也能够提供冰川运动(movement)的信息,所以选C。
24.B 参见第23题解析。
25.A 从上千文可知,这里科学家仍然不确知为什么冰川在夏季加速运动,向海洋流动,所以选A。
26.C 从上文“why glaciers speed up in summer and head towards the sea”可以推断出,这里用speed up,表示“加速,加快”的含义。
27.B Jakobshavn冰川被认为是撞沉Titanic的冰山的源头(source),所以选B。
28.D 从语意来看,这里是说,Robert Jones说,还没有鸭子被报道(reported)。也就是说,还没有人拣到玩具鸭子,所以选D。
29.A 结合语境以及前面的动词send可以看出,应该是拣到的人给组织者发邮件(email),告知已经拣到,所以选A。
30.C 结合语境可知,人们还没有拣到玩具鸭子是因为这些地方很偏远(remote),以至于没有多少人去过。

难度:**
At the recent O&P Extremity Games, I had the opportunity to observe a new generation of athletes with disabilities who were skateboarding and rock climbing. These young people really showed the promise of how rewarding physical activities are! We disabled can – and should be -- as active as anyone else. When we get and stay active, we will feel better, be able to do more, have healthier bodies, and look better. It is a fact that exercise actually produces energy and builds on itself. The more we exercise, the fitter our bodies are, and thus the more energy we have to enjoy recreation and the pleasure of life.
Not everyone is cut out to be a competitive athlete, but there are things that we can do to strengthen our physical well-being. Experts recommend that spending as little as 30 minutes each day on physical activities provides benefits including lower risk of heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes (糖尿病) and other serious diseases. Taking steps to become physically fit does not have to mean acquiring expensive training equipment or a gym membership. Exercise can include simple walking and running, gardening, cleaning the house, swimming, tennis, bicycling (stationary or on the road) and so on. The key is to do it on a regular basis.
Healthy lifestyles also require good nutritional habits. When choosing foods, nutritionists advise whole grains, flesh fruits and vegetables, fish, and lean (瘦的) cuts of poultry and meat. The benefits of drinking eight full glasses of water a day are also documented. Water provides the means for nutrients to travel to all our organs, improves skin tone (柔韧), regulates body temperature and contributes to muscle strength and control, which is confirmed by scientists.
Fitness results in completing the tasks of daily living, working a full day, and still having energy to participate in recreational activities. By being fit, you'll find that you enjoy recreational activities even more because you won't be tired or suffer from gore muscles.
It is time, folks, to get moving. So let's all get out there and do some exercise!
41. What's the author's purpose of writing the passage?
A. He wants to ask people to respect the disabled.
B. He intends to call on people to do exercise.
C. He wants people to know the importance of exercise for the disabled.
D. He wants to explain what healthy lifestyles are.
42. What does the underlined word "documented" mean in Paragraph 3 ?
A. Written. B. Encouraged. C. Overlooked. D. Proven.
43. According to the passage, physical activities bring benefits to humans EXCEPT __________.
A. lower risk of heart disease
B. better muscle control
C. less chance of getting diabetes
D. less chance of having high blood pressure
44. The author is most probably a (n) _________.
A. disabled man B. doctor
C. coach D. athlete
45. What do we learn from the passage?
A. Water can provide nutrients for us to improve skin tone.
B. Extreme sports have little to do with normal people.
C. One can enjoy recreation and the pleasure of life by doing extreme games.
D. We can have more energy to do things in our everyday life if we strengthen our physical well-being.
答案:
作者在观看残疾运动员的表演后,充分认识到运动对人的好处。当然,运动并不一定为了成为有竞争力的运动员,但它可以强身健体,降低疾病的发生率。除了运动外,健康的生活方式也需要良好的饮食习惯。
41. B。 写作目的题。根据最后一段“So let’s all get out there and do some exercise!”可知,作者的写作目的是号召大家运动起来,因此选B项。
42. D。 猜测词义题。根据后面的“...which is confirmed by scientists.”可知,每日八杯水的作用已经被科学家证实了,因此选D项。
43. B。 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Experts recommend that spending as little as 30 minutes each day on physical activities provides benefits including
lower risk of heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes and other serious diseases.”可知,A、C和D三项都是在描述运动的好处,而根据文章第三段最后一句可知B选项说的是水的作用,因此不正确。
44. A。 推理判断题。从第一段的“We disabled can — and should be — as active as anyone else.”可以判断作者自己也是个残疾人。
45. D。 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Fitness results in completing the tasks of daily living, working a full day, and still having energy to participate in recreational activities.”可知,有了健康的体魄就会有更充足的精力来工作和休闲。
4.读写任务
阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文;
No one tells us how to lead failure experience to growth. We forget that failure is part of life and that every person has the right to fail.
Most parents work hard at either preventing failure or protecting their children from it. One way is to lower standards. A mother describes her child's hurriedly-made table as "perfect" even though it couldn't stand on uneven legs. Another way is to shift blame. If John fails the exam, his teacher is unfair or stupid.
The trouble with failure-prevention methods is that they leave a child unequipped for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything; no one can win all the time; it's possible to enjoy a game even when you don't win. A child who's not invited to a birthday party or enrolled in the baseball team feels terrible, of course. But parents should not offer a quick comfort prize or say, "It doesn't matter" because it does. The young should experience disappointment and master it.
Failure is never pleasurable. It hurts grown-ups and children exactly alike. But it can make a positive contribution to your life once you learn to use it.

[答案]
Failure is the mother of success
The writer tells us about the reasons for people's fearing failure and describes some ways on how to deal with failure as well as our attitude toward failure.
We middle students should have an active attitude towards failure. As we know, failure is a common thing in one's life. Almost everyone experiences failure in his life. When one fails in his attempt to do something, he often feels upset. Some people may give in to failure. But others will stick to it and achieve the final success.
As the old saying goes, "Failure teaches success." It is true that failure is an important factor towards success. The way to success is full of various difficulties and obstacles. Many important inventions or discoveries were achieved after hundreds of failure. We know the fact that many failures made Thomas Edison a great inventor in the world. And only those successes, which have been achieved after many failures, are really valuable and praiseworthy.
