三、完形填空

先通读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后在每小题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分）

Every time we get on a plane, we’re asked to either turn off our phones or change them to flight mode—it’s for “security reasons”．

But according to The Conversation website, having to turn our     36     off on a plane is “a service issue, not a safety one”．

When we speak on our phones in the air, they can cause interference (干扰) to the aircraft’s radios． Pilot can hear this interference in their headphones． “It’s the same     37     you’ll be familiar ( 熟 悉 的 ) with, if you put your mobile too close to a speaker,” the Mirror noted． “It is not safety critical, but is annoying (烦人的) for sure．” Though speaking on a phone during a flight isn’t     38     , from the viewpoint of service, it isn’t still a good idea．

When we make or receive a call on the ground, we connect to a call tower that     39    all calls within an 80-kilometer radius (半径)． As we move from place to place we are “handed on” to different cell towers．

As US scientist Sven Bilen     40     , for this system to work, there are “built-in” expectations ( 期 待 ): They shouldn’t be too many “handoffs”; people shouldn’t be traveling faster than car speeds and phone users should be close to the     41     ．

If we were to make phone calls while we flew, however, none of these expectations would be met． And even     42    , our cellphones would stop working．

But now things are beginning to change． If we     43     can’t speak during a flight, we can use other phone functions． For example, Airbus A330 of Emirates Airlines (阿联酋航空) has inflight wifi to make passengers send and receive short messages in the air． In the future, as Bilen points out, it may be     44    for air travelers to make and receive calls freely．

The breakthrough could be “pico cells”, which are small cell towers on the phone itself． There would no longer be connections      45      between phones and the ground and therefore there would be no danger of disruption (破坏) to phone service．

One day, perhaps, we will be chatting in the air as much as we chat on the ground．

36．A．modes             B．radios                    C．phones                   D．flights

37．A．voice              B．sound                     C．hearing                   D．noise

38．A．uncomfortable B．tiring                     C．dangerous               D．impolite

39．A．deals with        B．talks with               C．agrees with             D．compare with

40．A．minds             B．refuses                   C．explains                  D．improves

41．A．sky                 B．sign                       C．phone                     D．ground

42．A．bad                 B．worse                     C．slow                       D．slower

43．A．yet                  B．also                       C．even                       D．still

44．A．possible           B．famous                   C．honest                    D．strange

45．A．talked             B．made                     C．warned                   D．improved

The oil paper umbrella is a traditional Chinese handicraft (手工艺品)． It has a history of over 1, 000 years in China． In early Tang Dynasty, it was brought to Japan and Korea, so it was called the “Tang Umbrella”． Later oil paper umbrellas were brought to some other countries, such as Vietnam, Thailand and Laos, and each had its own style． However, as steel-ribbed (钢骨的) umbrellas came out in the last century, the hand-made oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life． They were turned into handicrafts for decorating things．

Yuhang in Hangzhou is famous for making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years． They are mainly made of paper, bamboo, a coating (涂层) of Tung oil． They need to take more than 70 steps to make, including making bamboo ribs, pasting (粘贴) paper and choosing painting designs． It takes at least a week to make per umbrella． In 2008, these umbrellas were added to Intangible Cultural Heritage List (非物质文化遗产名录) of China．

A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather． “I want to bring the art to life．” Liu said． He made the umbrellas better to meet the needs of young people． As the traditional paper was easy to break, he started to use a kind of thicker paper． In a test, his umbrellas were opened and closed for 1, 000 times without breaking． He used a kind of lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas weigh less．

Now Liu hopes the art can be passed on． He goes to local schools to teach students． He also takes part in activities in different places to show the art to more people．

49．What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?

A．The history of oil paper umbrellas．       B．The styles of oil paper umbrellas．

50．From the article, we can know that ________．

A．people don’t use oil paper umbrellas any more

B．the oil paper umbrella has a history of 230 years

C．oil paper umbrellas are popular with young people now

D．the things people use to make oil paper umbrellas are changing

51．Why did Liu Weixue learn the art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas?

A．To show the art in activities．                B．To decorate things with them．

C．To make the art more popular．   D．To teach his grandfather to make them．

52．Which part of a magazine may the article be from?

A．People．           B．Culture．               C．History．               D．Fashion．

As prices and building costs keep rising, the “do-it-yourself” trend (趋势) in the U． S． continues to grow．

“We needed furniture for our living room,” says John Ross, “and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it． So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs．” John got married(已婚的) six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling(努力) to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high． The Rosses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school． Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house．

Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died． He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoemaking factory． Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420． “I was very worried about it． Now I’ve finished a car repair course; I should be able to fix the car by myself．”

John and Jim are not unusual people． Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money, so they can fight the high cost of living． If you want to become a DIYer, you can go to DIY classes． And for those who don’t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself．

53．John and his wife went to evening classes to learn how to ________．

Success does not belong to a select group of individuals (个人)． Success belongs to those who are willing to go after it and try their best to do what they have to do． Here are some useful practical ways for you if you want to be a success．

Desire． Desire is the strong wish to achieve a goal． Without desire, you have nothing． Before you can run with desire, your goal must be plain, clear, and it must also be exciting．

Show up． Seventy percent of success in life is showing up． You can’t have a best seller, if you have never written a book． You can’t get your dream job, if you’re afraid to turn in an application． Showing up doesn’t guarantee (保证) success, but if you don’t show up, you won’t succeed．

Fail． Unless you’re willing to have a try, fail unhappily, and have another try, success won’t happen．

To have success, you have to do things the right way, but often the only way to do something right is to first fail at it． As Thomas J． Watson said, a simple formula (公式) for success is to double your rate of failure (失败)． So welcome failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed．

Work harder． Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day． Success is not about doing what the common person can’t do． It’s about doing what the common person is unwilling to do． And on a deeper level, it’s about creating habits that the common person is unwilling to create． It’s the habit of doing things with excellence that causes success．

Enjoy the journey． Success is a journey, not a destination (终点)． Success is not a certain car or a certain house or a certain happy marriage． Success is the enjoyment of the journey． You have to enjoy the journey．

Someone once said, “Unless you change how you are, you will always have what you’ve got．” You have to change, you will change, you will succeed．

57．Which of the following is NOT mentioned (提及) in achieving success?

A．Good education． B．Working hard． C．Strong desire． D．Enjoying failure

58．What does the writer really mean by saying “Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day．”?

A．It’s not easy for people to develop their health．

B．Keeping working harder is necessary when you go after success．

C．You are sure to meet with some difficulty in your life．

D．Most people don’t want to spend too much time running．

59．What does the writer mostly want to tell us in the fourth paragraph?

A．Failure is the mother of success．         B．Many hands make light work．

C．Every dog has its day．                       D．Actions speak louder than words．

60．The best title of the passage might be ________．

A．The Importance of Success                   B．The Meaning of Success

C．Success or Failure                                D．The Five Main Steps to Success

六、阅读短文（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）

A) 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章后第76～85小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为76～85的相应位置上。

    注意：每个空格只填1个单词。

Thinking about visiting Antarctica? If you are, then there are some things that you should know about before you go． Penguin highways, biosecurity and whale alerts are just the beginning! So here are things that you need to know before visiting the seventh continent．

When it comes to visiting Antarctica, there is pretty much no chance of avoiding such an expensive expedition (远征)． Cruises (航行) booked at the last minute can go for as little as $4,000 and luxury cruises can go for as much as $ 50,000．

When people have asked about how cold it is in Antarctica, they are always told that it very rarely gets below freezing, and on the non-windy days, you could easily get around the ship in no more than a T-shirt． Cold wind is much more of a factor than the temperature itself, so as long as your clothing is windproof, the cold really shouldn’t give you any trouble at all． More importantly,  you need to respect the penguin highways．  Yes, a penguin highway is exactly what it sounds like! The penguins follow the same paths up and down hills, resulting in discernible ( 可识别的) tracks in the snow that have been affectionately  ( 亲切地 )  named  “penguin  highways”．  These highways are the penguins favorite way of getting around, so it is important not to walk on or over them, and not to get too close．

A whale alert is exactly what you’d expect it to be． When whales are found by the ship, the captain will announce it over the loudspeaker to give anyone who wants to see the wildlife half a chance． Whale alerts can come at any hour of the day or night, so make sure you always have a battery and memory card in your camera．

B) 根据短文内容和首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为86～95的相应位置上。

Daniel, Emmanuel, and their mom and dad decided to go on a trip to a cave (洞穴)． It is one of the six most f    86     caves in the world． Sitting under a big tree with other families, they waited for Millie, b    87     she knew the cave very well． When Millie arrived, she said hello to everybody and then a    88     them to put their bags outside the cave．

“We all know that it is a great cave with a long history, so it is important for us to p    89     the cave from things brushing its walls,” Millie said． When they were putting down their bags, she o    90     another piece of advice, “If you have jackets or coats, please keep them with you． It is much c    91     in the cave．”

Before they entered the cave, the boys thought there would be some stalactites (钟乳石), but once i    92    , they didn’t find any of them． They did not see any birds flying around, either． Daniel felt a little bored and said in a low voice, “It is nothing s    93    ． There is no difference between this cave and others．”

After walking about 20 metres, Millie used a l    94     to make the cave wall bright． They saw some animals with different c     95     , “Wow! They are so beautiful, and these are better than stalactites!” Emmanuel shouted excitedly．
