28、friend-a bird called Woodstock. Created by the American cartoonist Charles Schulz in 1950, the clever dog is loved by generations of kids and adults. He speaks more than 20 languages and appears daily in 26,000 newspapers around the world. When Snoopy first appeared, he was not different form other
29、pet dogs. But two years later, he had begun to speak with simple words and sounds. By 1957 he could walk on two legs and was going to school with his master, Charlie Brown, who failed in just about everything. Later he learned to use the typewriter. Snoopy has done lots of jobs. He has been a bow-ti
30、e wearing lawyer, a tennis player, an Olympic figure skater, a world famous grocery checkout clerk, a pilot and even the first astronaut on the moon. However, Snoopy has always dreamed of being a famous writer. The beginning of his story is always, “It was a dark and stormy night Unfortunately for h
31、im no one has ever wanted to publish the story. In love, Snoopy is as much of a failure as Charlie Brown is at baseball. He easily falls in love but always has his heart broken. He eats to forget, but it never works. Snoopy is an insightful, feel-good and sometimes sad dog. If you think a little abo
32、ut words, you might find them full of life lessons. Among his most famous lines are “To live is to dance, to dance is to live. And “Yesterday I was a dog. Today Im a dog.

35、 that particular day, a south wind had been gusting on and off all morning. It was not strong enough to cause us any concern, so we carried on with our daily work, not suspecting what was about to happen. The storm gave us very little warning. Black clouds loomed over the distant horizon so suddenly
36、 that we were taken by surprise. Even then, we were not really worried, as the clouds seemed to be moving over our house and towards the distant mountains. Then, just as the clouds had moved inland, the wind suddenly swung around in a full circle and we were facing a major storm. Instantly, we were
37、busily preparing for the worst. The whole family had experienced such a storm before and everyone remembered the damage it had caused to stock and crops. There was very little we could do about the crops. But we needed to protect the animals in case the river flooded again. My older brother called h
38、is sheepdog and began driving our small flock of sheep to higher ground above the river . If the river flooded, they should be safe there. In the meantime, my father was mending a shed roof that had partly fallen down after many years of fine service. If the tin flew off, it could damage the house.
39、My younger brother began word - 5 - / 10 hurriedly carrying firewood under the shelter. My job was to help Mum board up the windows. If the storm developed into a cyclone, the boards would protect the glass. The storm raged for four hours, pouring more rain on us than we had seen in the last five ye
40、ars. As expected, the river broke its banks and came slowly up towards the house and the stock. Then, just as we were beginning to lose hope, the storm stopped as suddenly as it had begun. The animals were safe, and the roof was still nailed on. “Alls well that ends well, said my father. 60. When th

44、et an illness called food poisoning. Food poisoning is usually not serious, but some types are deadly. The symptoms of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food. Fever is one of the most common symptoms. Certain microorganisms cause most types of food poisoning. Bacteria
45、and other microorganisms can poison eggs, meat, vegetables, and many other foods. After entering the body, these tiny living things release poisons that make people sick. Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning. They are often added to food while it is being grown, processed, or prepared. For e
46、xample, many farmers spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects. Some people may have a bad reaction to those chemicals when they eat the crops. Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people. These include certain kinds of seafood, grains, nuts, seeds, beans, and
47、 mushrooms. When people handle food properly, the risk of food poisoning is very small. Microorganisms multiply rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures. This means that people should never touch food with dirty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces. Food should be kept in a refrigerator to
48、 stop microorganisms from growing. Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous microorganisms. People should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it. Finally, people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild. Some of these food may contain natural
49、 materials that are poisonous to humans. In addition, some types of fish can be poisonous. Most people recover from food poisoning after a few days of resting and drinking extra water.

It can be inferred f
52、rom the passage that _. A. natural materials are safe in food processing B. chemicals are needed in food processing C. food poisoning can be kept under control D. food poisoning is out of control D The 2012 London Olympics have enough problems to worry about. But one more has just been added-A commu
53、nications blackout caused by solar storms. After a period of calm within the Sun, scientists have detected the signs of a fresh cycle of sunspots that could peak in 2012, just in time for the arrival of the Olympic torch in London. Now scientists believe that this peak could result in vast solar exp
54、losions that could throw billions of tons of charged matter towards that Earth, causing strong solar storms that could jam the telecommunications satellites and internet links sending live Olympic broadcast from London. “The Suns activity has a strong influence on the Earth. The Olympics could be in
55、 the middle of the next solar maximum which could affect the functions of communications satellites. said Professor Richard Harrison, head of space physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire. At the peak of the cycle, violent outbursts called coronal mass ejections(日冕物资抛射) occur in
56、 the Suns atmosphere, throwing out great quantities of electrically-charged matter “A coronal mass ejection can carry a billion tons of solar material into space at over a million kilometers per hour. Such events can expose astronauts to a deadly amount and can disable satellites, cause power failur
57、es on Earth and disturb communications, Professor Hamison added. The risk is greatest during a solar maximum when there is the greatest number of sunspots. Next week in America, NASA is scheduled to launch a satellite for monitoring solar activity called Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO), which will t
58、ake images of the Sun that are 10 times clearer than the most advanced televisions available. The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory helped to make the high-tech cameras that will capture images of the solar flares(太阳耀斑) and explosions as they occur. Professor Richard Holdaway, the labs director, said t
59、hat the SDO should be able to provide early warning of a solar flare or explosion big enough to affect satellite communication on Earth. “If we have advance warning, well be able to reduce the damage, What you dont want is things switching off for a week with no idea of whats caused the problem, he
60、said. 68. The phrase “communication blackout in paragraph 1 probably refers to _ during the 2010 Olympics.

64、on it for some sort of editorial task. It occurred at first that I did not recognize the handwriting, and then I realized whose it must be. I finally became aware of the fact that I had been working with this colleague for at least a year, maybe two, and yet I did not recognize her handwriting at th
65、at point. It was a very important event in the computerization of life-a sign that the informal, friendly communication of people working together in an office had changed from notes in pen to instant messages and emails. There was a time when our workdays were filled with little letters and we reco
66、gnized one anothers handwriting the way we know voices or faces. As a child visiting my fathers office, I was pleased to recognize, in little notes on the desk of his staff, the same handwriting I would see at home in the notes he would leave on the fridge-except that those notes were signed “dad in
67、stead of “RFW. All this has been on my mind because of the talk about The rise and Fall of Handwriting, a book by Florey. She shows in her book a deep concern about the fall of handwriting and the failure of schools to teach children to write well, but many others argue that people in a digital age
68、cant be expected to learn to hold a pen. I dont buy it. I dont want to see anyone cut off from expressive, personal associations that a pen still promotes better than a digital keyboard does. For many a biographer, part of really getting to know their subjects is learning to read their handwriting.
69、What some people advocate is teaching one of the many attractive handwritings based on the handwriting of 16th-century Italy. That may sound impossibly grand-as if they want kids to learn to draw by copying classical paintings. However, they have worked in many school systems. 72. Why was the author
70、 surprised at not recognizing his colleagues handwriting? A. He had worked with his colleague long enough. B. His colleagues handwriting was so beautiful. C.

A. are harder to teach in schools B. attract more attention C. are used only between friends D. carry more message 75.
72、 We can learn from the passage that the author _. A. thinks it impossible to teach handwriting B. does not want to lose handwriting C. does not agree with Florey D. puts the blame on the computer 第 2 卷共 35 分 第一节 任务型读写共 19 小题； 每一小题 1 分，总分为 10 分 阅读如下短文，根据所读内容在文章后的表格中填入恰当得单词。 注意：表格中每个空格中只填入一个单词。 word -

74、tion and death, but asthma can also be effectively controlled with proper treatments. Research is discovering genes that contribute to the development of asthma. This development has pointed researchers to the role of indoor and outdoor pollution as environmental factors that contribute to the incre
75、ased occurrence of asthma. The Indoor Pollution Indoor pollution has increased with the developments in building materials and in heating and air conditioning systems. In addition to poisonous gases that come from paint, other materials like dust and perfumes used in household products such as washi
76、ng powder are recycled continuously through the house, winter and summer. Unlike the days before central heating or before whole-house air conditioning, these materials and chemicals cannot get out of modern homes. Most often, they cause breathing problems in the members of the family with the least

The Out door pollution Researchers have also established outdoor pollutions role as a probable cause of asthma. Asthma has been
78、proven to result from some fuel products. Smog and the small matters carried by it have been recognized as a factor which leads to asthma since the 19th century when London saw more and more diseases in the industrial population. Industrial pollutants and other chemicals which are produced in water
79、treatment and open treated water like that found in the swimming pools also contribute to increased cases of asthma as well as other illnesses. Those most affected by the increase of industrial and environmental pollution-most of which can be traced to the increased use of carbon-based fuels-are chi

As the 2008 Beijing Olympics showed, environmental pollution is not a personal phenomenon and the jet stream does not begin or end at national borders. Unt
