A
Who “discovered” America And who managed the first successful sail around the world in history
Well, our textbooks have the answers: they are Italian sailor Christopher Columbus and Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan.
However, China’s great explorer, Zheng He（1371-1435）, may well have beaten the European explorers and sailed around the world first. The life and achievements of the great sailor are shown in a 59-episode TV drama.
Zheng was an officer of the Ming Dynasty’s Yongle Emperor. In 1405, the emperor asked Zheng to visit the “Western Seas”, which referred to the seas and lands west of the South China Sea.
Zheng traveled with 62 ships filled with silk, porcelain and 27, 800 men. The biggest ship was 126 meters long and could take the weight of 7. 000 tons. In the following 28 years, Zheng made another six successful journeys. He visited over 30 countries.
Since most of the records of Zheng’s voyages have been lost many historians（历史学家）believe Zheng’s achievements have been underestimated（低估）. British writer Gavin Menzies, who spent 14 researching the movements of the Chinese fleet, explained it was Zheng who first sailed around the world, in his book, 1421, The Year China Discovered America.
While Menzies was doing the research, he said he was shown a map, dated 1459, which included southern Africa and the Cape of Good Hope. Yet the Cape was not “discovered” by da Gama until 1497. On the map was a note about a voyage round the Cape in 1420——and a picture of a Chinese ship.
“What nobody has explained is why the European explorers had maps. Who drew the maps ” he asks in his book. “There are millions of square miles of ocean. It required huge fleets to chart them. If you say it wasn’t the Chinese, then who was it ”
26．What did Christopher Columbus, Ferdinand Magellan and Zheng He have in common
A．They were all great explorers.
B．They were born in the same period.
C．They were all the officers of the Ming Dynasty.
D．Their life and achievement were featured on CCTV 8.
27．What did Menzies find while he was doing the research
①He saw a map with southern Africa and the Cape of Good Hope.
②Records of Zheng’s voyage have been lost.
③The European explorers had maps before exploration.
④The map was dated in 1459.
⑤A picture of a Chinese ship on the map.
A．①②③⑤ B．①③④⑤ C．①②③④ D．②③④⑤
28．From the last paragraph, we can infer（推断）that ______.
A．the European explorers drew the map
B．the European explorers gave their maps to the Chinese
C．the huge European fleets charted the map
D．the Chinese are most likely to discover America
29．What would be the best title for the text
A．Great European Explorers B．Successful Journey
C．Who Discovered America D．A Research on Western Seas

When talking about fishing in China, Jiang Tai Gong is very likely to be the first name that would come to people’s mind.
The story happened in the late years of the Shang dynasty. Jiang Tai Gong once served the king of Shang dynasty, and began to hate him for tyranny from the bottom of heart. Jiang Tai Gong was a genius in military tactics and government management. He lived near the Weihe River about 3,000 years ago. The area was the feudal estate of Count Ji Chang. Jiang Tai Gong knew Ji Chang was very ambitious, so he hoped to get Ji’s attention.
He often went fishing at the Weihe River, but he would fish in an unusual way. He hung a straight fishhook, without bait, three feet above the water. Lookers-on were curious about it, and Jiang Tai Gong explained, “I would like to take honestly rather than to ask for with the knees down. I fish not for the fish but for the nobility (高贵).” Later words traveled to Count Ji. He sent a soldier to invite him. Jiang Tai Gong ignored the solider, going on with fishing, and was talking to himself, “Fishing, fishing, no fish has been hooked. A shrimp is up to mischief (恶作剧).” The soldier reported this back to Ji Chang, who became more interested in this man. Then, Count Ji sent an official to invite him. It didn’t work. Finally Ji Chang realized Jiang may be a genius, so he went to invite Jiang Tai Gong himself. Jiang saw his sincerity and honesty and finally decided to work for him. In the end, Jiang Tai Gong helped Count Ji and his offspring build a great power and build Zhou dynasty — a great dynasty.
Today, people use the old idiom There are always fish willing to be caught by angler Jiang Taigong to describe someone who willingly falls in a trap or does something no matter what the result is. This idiom has been passed on from generation to generation. To some degree, it could be regarded as a part of Chinese philosophy.
30．Why did Jiang Tai Gong give up serving the king of Shang Dynasty
A．Because Jiang was too old to serve the king. B．Because the king treated his people rudely.
C．Because Jiang was an ambitious person. D．Because the king didn’t need Jiang any more.
31．How did Jiang Tai Gong fish
A．He fished with a straight hook in the water. B．He fished without bait above the water.
C．He fished with bait to plead for fish. D．He fished with a usual fishhook without bait.
32．What does the underlined part “a shrimp” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．a kind of animal B．a small fish C．the soldier D．the official
33．Which of the followings can we use the idiom to describe
A．Linda, who still trusts people that tell lies B．Annie, who is always willing to help others
C．Leo, who enjoys setting taps for others D．Tommy, who does things after thinking twice
C
Although similar in appearance to hyenas (土狼), African wild dogs are nevertheless true wild canine (犬). They are a mixture of black, yellow, and white in such various patterns that no two individuals look exactly alike. African wild dogs are widely distributed across the African plains but they do not live in jungle areas.
They are social animals, living in groups of usually from 2 to 45 individuals. A hierarchy (等级制度) exists within the group, but the animals are friendly to one another. The young and the weak are given special privileges (特权) within the group.
African wild dogs use their sense of sight, not smell, to find their prey (猎物). They can run up to 55 km/h for several kilometers. In eastern Africa, they mostly hunt Thomson’s gazelles, but they will also attack calves, warthogs, zebras, impalas, and the young of large antelopes such as the gnu.
Growing human populations have decreased or damaged the African wild dog’s habitat and also reduced their available prey. Road kill and human persecution (迫害) have also had a negative impact on African wild dog populations. This species is also susceptible to a variety of diseases such as distemper, which is controlled in domestic dogs. Protection of the African wild dog’s natural habitat must be given great concern, as these dogs suffer in habitats changed much by human intrusion (入侵).
34．What does underlined word “susceptible” mean
A．Easily affected or suffered. B．Badly doubtful.
C．Seriously harmful. D．Highly dangerous.
35．What factors affect the population of the wild dogs
a. the distribution of the dogs b. social living
c. highly increasing human populations d. human’s killing the dogs
e. many diseases f. the changes of their habitats
g. domestic dogs h. food reduction
A．a, b, c, d, e B．b, c, d, e, f C．c, d, e, f, h D．d, e, f, g, h
36．From the passage we can conclude that ________.
A．African wild dogs are completely different from domestic dogs in size and in weight
B．African wild dogs are living in groups
C．African wild dogs use their eyes mostly when sleeping to guard
D．African wild dogs use their noses to find their food in most cases
37．What can we know about African wild dogs
A．In a pack there may be about 90 wild dogs and no leader.
B．There are no such wild dogs that are different.
C．African wild dogs can run at a speed of about 15 m/s for a long distance.
D．All African wild dogs kill zebras, impalas, and antelopes as their food.

David is in his school curling（冰壶运动）team in Scotland. He also plays for two other clubs. Let’s listen to his story and learn more about curling.
“I first started playing curling four years ago when I was 10 years old. My father, my brother and sister all curl and I would go and watch them play.

In the play, you have to think about how to achieve your goal and how to beat the other team.”
“Sweeping（清扫冰道）is probably the most difficult part of the game. It is very important because this decides the speed of the stone and keeps it straight.”
“Games can go on for three or four hours and I play three times a week. Some of my friends thought it was funny when I started curling. Then they tried it and now they play it, too.”
“Curling has been a Winter Olympic game since 1998. I would like to play at the Winter Olympics in the future. I would surely recommend（推荐）curling to everyone, because it’s different from other sports.”

【导语】本文介绍了餐叉的历史。叉子最早在古埃及、中国和希腊使用。后来传到中东。11世纪，餐叉作为一位中东公主的嫁妆来到意大利。直到18世纪大多数欧洲国家才普遍使用餐叉，19世纪初餐叉在美国流行。
46．句意：后来它传入到中东，开始被上层阶级使用。根据首字母提示和“And then it…to the Middle East and started being used by the upper class.”可知，travel“传播”符合语境，意为“后来叉子传到中东”，由“started”可知应本句使用一般过去时，故填(t)ravelled。
47．句意：这使得叉子在这些地区慢慢流行起来。根据首字母提示和“This enabled the fork to slowly become…in these areas.”可知，popular“流行的”符合语境，become popular受欢迎，变得流行，故填(p)opular。
48．句意：看到公主使用叉子后，教会感到愤怒，他们强烈批评她，说叉子不尊重使用手指的习惯。根据首字母提示和“they strongly criticized(批判) her, saying that the fork disrespected the practice of using the fingers.”可知，angry“愤怒的，生气的”符合情景，由教会强烈批评公主，可推断教会感到愤怒。故填(a)ngry。
49．句意：没有人敢用它。根据“Then the fork disappeared from the table for nearly 300 years.”和首字母提示可知，Nobody“没有人”符合语境，故填(N)obody。
50．句意：16世纪末，叉子开始在意大利被接受，因为意大利上层阶级再次对清洁感兴趣。根据首字母提示和“…the upper-class Italians had great i…in cleanliness again. They think it’s helpful to health.”可知，interest“兴趣”符合语境，have great interest in“对……非常感兴趣”，固定短语。故填(i)nterest。
51． as well as
【详解】分析所给中英文可知要翻译的是“和”，本句有3个填空处，可知对应的英文是“as well as”。表示“也，还有”。故填as；well；as。
52． fill with
【详解】根据中英文可知，fill…with“把……装满”，forget to do“忘记去做”，此处使用动词原形。故填fill；with。
53． was very satisfied with
【详解】分析所给中英文可知要翻译的是“对……很满意”。其对应的短语是“be satisfied with”；very“很”；根据“bought”可知句子是一般过去时。主语he为第三人称单数，be动词用was。故填was；very；satisfied；with。
54． What a brave
【详解】感叹句的中心词mother是可数名词单数，用“What a/an+形容词+可数名词单数+主谓”结构，“勇敢的”brave，以辅音音素开头，其前用不定冠词a。故填What；a；brave。
55． so how to solve
【详解】分析所给中英文可知，要翻译的是“如此……以致于”及“如何解决”。第一空修饰“difficult”且表示“如此”，应用“so”；“如何解决某事”对应的是“how to solve sth”，此结构是“疑问词+不定式”的结构。故填so；how；to；solve。
56．例文
Dear classmates,
It’s my great honor to give a speech on my hero—Yuan Longping.
Yuan Longping was born in 1930. Witnessing the hungry lying on the street during war-time China, he was determined to work hard at an early age to help solve the problem. Even as a teacher after graduating from college, he still stuck to doing research in the field with his waist bending and sweat dropping on the soil. It was then that he developed high-yield hybrid rice and offered training courses to other countries. Thanks to his dedication, one fifth of the world’s population has been fed. But what impresses me most is that he didn’t cease to work until he was 80.
Yuan’s down-to-earth spirit touches my heart a lot. Words fail to convey my admiration for him, but it is my firm belief that, only through my constant effort, shall I be able to serve our country like him.
That’s all. Thank you!
