第一节  阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四 个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

We arrived at the hospital to find Dad was very weak, but his smile was as sure as ever. It was another attack of pneumonia(肺炎). My husband and I stayed with him for the weekend but had to return to our jobs on Monday. Local relatives would help Dad get home from the hospital and look after him. But I longed to be able to let him know that we cared too, even when we weren’t with him.

Then I remembered a family tradition when our children were small. When leaving their grandparents’ home after a visit, each child would write a love note to their grandparents. They hid notes in the cereal(麦片)box, under a hai rbrush, next to the phone or even in the microwave oven(微波炉). For days, their grandparents would smile as they discovered these signs of our love.

So as I tidied Dad’s kitchen and made up a bed for him downstairs in the living room, I wrote some notes. Some were practical,“Dad, I put the food in the fridge so it wouldn’t spoil.”Some expressed my love,“Dad, I hope you will sleep well in your new bed.” Most notes were downstairs where he would stay for several weeks until he recovered strength, but o ne note I hid upstairs under his pillow, “Dad, if you have found this note, you must be feeling better. We are so glad!”

Just like this medicines strengthened him physically, these “emotional vitamins”would improve his spiritual(精神上的)health. Several weeks later, in one of our regular phone calls, I asked Dad how he was doing. He said,“Pretty good. I just found your note under my pillow upstairs!”

The monarch is one of the most beautiful butterflies. It is famous for its yearly migration(迁徙)from the northern part of North America to Mexico, There, millions of monarchs spend the winter packed closely together in one small area. This migration is one of the greatest wonders of nature. Yet this behavior has now put the monarch at risk.

Every September, millions of monarchs from the United States fly to Mexico. After about two months of flying time, they reach their sanctuary(庇护所)in central Mexico. Then, in the warm climate of private and quiet valleys, far from most human activity, the butterflies create one of nature’s great scenes. They cover every tree with bright color. The show lasts until spring, when the butterflies return north.

While they are all crowded together, the monarchs are highly weak. If the environment in those valleys was disturbed, the whole species could be hurt or even wiped out. That is why for many years scientists who knew about the monarchs’ winter sanctuary kept the location a secret.

In recent years, however, the monarchs’ secret has been revealed. Today, the butterflies’ winter sanctuary is crowded with tourists, who disturb the environment. Worse still, local farmers who need more land to farm have begun to take up the area. They are cutting down trees, making it difficult for the butterflies to survive. They should not farm in the monarchs’ sanctuary.

Concerned people should act immediately to protect the species’ winter sanctuary. Local farmers must be aided so that they no longer need to take land from the butterflies. Tourist visits to the butterflies’ hidden valleys must also be limited. Unless these steps are taken soon, in a few years the monarch butterfly of North America may be just a beautiful memory.

61.What do we know about monarch butterflies?

A. They fly to the US in autumn.

B. They spend the winter in a pack.

C. They are the most beautiful butterflies.

D. They have been known to human beings until recent years.

62. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A. The monarchs’ diet.

B. The monarchs’ colors.

C. The monarchs’ life cycle.

D. The monarchs’ migration.

63. Why did scientists keep the monarchs’ winter sanctuary a secret?

A. To keep the valleys from being destroyed.

B. To stop farmers from cutting down trees.

C. To do their research secretly

D. To protect the monarchs.

64. The underlined word “revealed” in Paragraph 4 probably means_________.

A. discovered           B. seen           C. forgotten           D. kept

65. What is the purpose of the text?

A. To tell about a great place to watch monarch butterflies.

B. To provide information about monarch butterflies.

C. To ask people to save monarch butterflies.

D. To call on people to protect the environment.

第二节  ( 共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Playing sports is a lot of fun. Getting hurt is not.   66

Wear protective equipment.

The equipment you wear depends on the sport you play. Helmets(头盔) are the most common protective equipment. They protect your head while you’re playing football, baseball, softball, biking, skateboarding, and so on.

Warm up.

67   Doing some stretching(伸展)can get you prepared to hit the field. By warming up, you get yourself ready to play. Warming up your muscles and practicing a sport help keep you safe, too.

Know the rules of the games.

Traffic lights help prevent crashes between the many cars that drive on the roads together. This works because drivers know the rules and follow them—at least most of the time.  68  When players know the rules of the game, fewer injuries happen. For example, you know that in soccer you can’t come from behind, crash into a player’s legs, and steal the ball. It’s legal—and safer—to go after the ball rather than the player.

69

Some rules don’t have anything to do with scoring points. Some rules are just about protecting other people. For example, a diver would make sure that the pool was clear before diving in. Otherwise, he or she might land on someone else.

70

This is a really important one. If you love sports, you may get right back in the game, even after an injury. But playing when you’re hurt is a bad idea. It can lead to an even worse injury.

A. Watch out for others.

B. Don’t do too much exercise.

C. It’s the same way with sports.

D. Don’t play when you’re injured.

E. It’s not a good idea to just go to the field and start playing.

F. You and the other players know what to expect from each other.

G. Take these steps to prevent injuries so you can stay in the game.
