3、， 并 在 答 题卡 上 将 该 项 涂 黑 。AHail (冰雹 ) is solid precipitate (沉淀物) that forms within thunderstorms. Hailstones are sometimes found containing sand, leaves, nuts and insects. There are even reports of hail containing small turtles, baby crocodiles and frogs! All of them have been sucked into the storm by
4、 tornadoes and subsequently enveloped in ice through repeated updraft currents (上升气流 ).Hailstones generally begin forming as seeds of small frozen raindrops or soft ice particles known as graupel (雪丸). If graupel falls through the cloud and gets into an updraft part of a thunderstorm, it mixes with
5、water drops and ice particles that will freeze around it as it rises, like layers of an onion. These ice-stones are carried into the tops of the cloud, gaining mass as they rise. Somewhere up there, they become too heavy for the updraft to carry and so fall towards the ground. As they fall, the outs
6、ide layer melts to a clear layer.Larger hail can fall at a speed of over 100 mph, thus causing damage and injuries to almost anything. Pea to penny-sized hail can cause light damage to trees and vegetation and possibly cause minor injuries to people and animals. Tennis ball to baseball-sized hail is
7、 obviously damaging. It can cause severe damage to crops and produce life-threatening injuries to people and animals.Deaths caused by hail are rare in the US with the last known fatality occurring in March 2000 in Lake Worth, Texas. A young man died from head injuries after being stuck by a softball
8、-sized hailstone. Deaths and injuries are more common in other parts of the world where people live in poorly constructed buildings with little protection.If caught in a hailstorm while driving, attempt to stop immediately or pull into a nearby safe place; otherwise, the effect of the hail will be m
9、aximized. Try to drive and park the vehicle in the direction of the hail so that it is hitting the front of the vehicle. Windscreens are generally strengthened and can withstand larger impacts than side and back windows. This will lessen any damage from flying glass to both people and equipment in t
10、he vehicle.21.What makes some hail contain something unusual?A.Air currents.B.Strong storms.C.Thunderstorms and tornadoes.D.Tornadoes and updraft currents.22.What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?A.How hail comes into being.B.What graupel is made up of.C.What different layers of hail look like.D.How

12、pment.BThe idea that you can use humor, laughter, and play to make you healthier probably seems too simple to be true. However, it is really true and simple. The sense of humor, laughter and play plays an important part in keeping you healthy.Treat the blues with a sense of humor, which is closely t
13、ied to laughter. Laughter is infectious. Have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling? When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness. Smiling is the beginning of laughter and a smile is also ju
14、st as infectious as laughter is. You can experience something by smiling at everyone around you, and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger.Play is an important part of making sure that we stay healthy. We are often encouraged to make sure our children play, and are told
15、 of the benefits of being out playing. However, what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as its for children. Physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness. While the studies are still in the early stages,
16、the studies that have been done have shown that physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive (认知的 ) falling.Anyway, adding humor, laughter, and play to our life will influence us mentally, physically and socially and bring us many advantages.

17、hter and play to make our life more active, more interesting and happier.24.What does the underlined word “infectious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Playing an important role.B.Keeping people in high spirits.C.Quickly influencing other people.D.Preventing illness from spreading.25.What can laughter

A film crew traveled the g
20、lobe to document the rubbish. And Julie Andersen of the Plastic Oceans Foundation says what we see is just the tip of the problem. “Half of the waste actually sinks to the bottom, and that that remains on the surface actually breaks down.”The filmmakers found rubbish in ocean gyres, the circulating
21、currents that trap large concentrations of pollution in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacifc Oceans, home of what some have plastic. What we found was a plastic smog that spread throughout all the water. And in some parts of the oceans, scientists have found more plastic than plant.”The pieces of the pl
22、astic garbage infect the food chain, sometimes visibly, and more so at the microscopic level, where the plastic particles interact with other pollutants. “There are heavy metals, medicines, industrial waste in the sea, while it acts like magnets(磁铁). These poisonous substances absorb on the plastic,
23、 and then when seafood absorbs the plastics, those poisonous substances enter the fatty tissues.” To be consumed by other sea life and by people at last.China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam are the worst plastic polluters. The United States, although a leader in recycling, is one
24、of the worlds 20 since it produces and consumes so much plastic. There are efforts around the world to address the problem, including at this newly opened recycling center in Lebanon(黎巴嫩). But Andersen says there is more that people can do. “Cut back on single-use plastics, straws, plastic cups, pla
25、stic water bottles, plastic bags and find alternatives like reusable materials.” She says healthy oceans are essential to our survival.28. What can we learn from the passage?A.

29、. The Dead Sea, a salt lake close to Israel, Jordan and the West Bank, is shrinking at an alarming rate about 3.3 feet per year, according to the environmentalist group EcoPeace Middle East.“Its not just like one country is punishing the Dead Sea; its more like the whole region,” said photographer M
30、oritz Kstner, who visited the area in February to work on his series “The Dying Dead Sea”.The Dead Sea needs water from the other natural sources surrounding it, such as the Jordan River basin. But around the 1960s, the courses of some water sources it relied upon were diverted. Israel, for instance
31、, built a pipeline during that time so it could supply water throughout the country.Mineral extraction(提取) industries are another main reason why the water levels are declining, experts say. The Dead Seas minerals have been popular for their medical power and can often be found in cosmetics(化妆品) and
32、 other consumer products.And then, of course, theres the Middle Easts hot, dry climate, which makes it difficult for the lake to refill itself. Last year, Israel and Jordan signed a $ 900 million deal in an effort to stabilize the Dead Seas water levels. It involves building a canal from the Red Sea
33、 to the Dead Sea which would be able to not only supply water to Israel and Jordan but also to pump much needed water some 300 million cubic meters annually into the Dead Sea.“This is the most important and significant agreement since the peace treaty with Jordan (in 1994),”said Silvan Shalom, Israe
34、ls energy and water resources minister at the time. Whether the canal estimated to take three years to complete will work out positively and as planned remains to be seen.For now, Kstner shows us that the Dead Sea remains very much a place of interest, with people from all over the world going there
35、 to swim in its salty waters.32. How many reasons for the Dead Seas shrinking does the author mention in the passage?A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.33. What does the underlined word “diverted” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Switch. B. Improve. C. Accomplish. D. Repair.34. Which of the following statement
36、s is TRUE according to the passage?A. The Dead Sea is drying out causing water shortage to humans.B. Kstner visited the Dead Sea to shoot TV series about peoples life.C. The Dead Seas minerals have been used in some products.D. The Dead Seas water levels have been stabilized by building a canal.35.
37、What is the passage mainly about?A. How the Dead Seas water levels decline influences human beings.B. How important the Dead Sea is in Israel,Jordan and the West Bank.C. What we should do to save the Dead Sea from being destroyed.D. Why the Dead Sea is dying and the measure taken to save it.第 二 节 (共

Years ago, when walking alone
45、 on a beach in remote southwest Florida, I was so _41_ to hear splashes(水溅声) coming from the water. As I walked in the _42_ of the sounds, I saw a manatee(海牛) show its head out of the water, _43_ a great snuffling(带鼻音的) breath. It seemed that it was in _44_ and trying to get out of it.Id never seen
46、a _45_ like this before. I wanted to ask for help, but there was no one _46_. So I went into the shallow water and went toward the animal. I came _47_ enough to make out the manatee.

47、 was _49_ by several manatees. I could clearly see the larger manatee _50_ the little one up with her flipper(鳍状肢) and pushed it to the surface beside me.As the two slipped underwater, two other manatees moved up from behind, one on either side, _51_ gently against my body as they swam past.
