【題目】閱讀理解
Glacier Bay is one of the most famous parks in America, located in the state of Alaska. This park in the southeastern part of the state covers more than 1 million hectares of Alaskan wilderness. It includes mountains, glaciers (冰川), bays, and even rainforests. Glacier Bay supports hundreds of kinds of animals, including many species of birds, fish, bears, whales and sea lions.
As its name suggests, much of Glacier Bay National Park is covered by glaciers. A glacier is a large area of ice that moves slowly down a slope (斜坡) or valley, or over a wide area of land. Glaciers cover more than 5,000 square kilometers of the park.
Glacial ice has shaped the land over the last seven million years. The glaciers found in the park today are what remains from an ice advance known as the Little Ice Age. That period began about 4,000 years ago.
During the Little Ice Age, the cold weather caused the ice to grow and advance. That situation continued until about 1,700s, when the climate began to warm. The higher temperatures caused the ice to start melting. That melting led the huge glacier to separate into more than 1,000 different glaciers.
The extremely tall and jagged (參差不齊的) mountains seen in Glacier Bay National Park were formed by the ice advancing and then melting over time. The melting of the ice also created water that filled in and created the many fjords (峽灣) within the park. Fjords are narrow parts of the ocean that sit between cliffs or mountains.
The huge amount of water from the melted ice killed off many kinds of plants. Vegetation returned to the area over the next 200 years. The regrowth in plants also brought back many animals to the land. This return of life to Glacier Bay is why it is sometimes called “a land reborn” by people.
（1）What is mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A.The function of Glacier Bay.
B.The climate of Glacier Bay.
C.The area of Alaskan wilderness.
D.The number of animals in Glacier Bay.
（2）What happened to Glacier Bay during the Little Ice Age?
A.Many slopes or valleys came into being.
B.The glaciers grew and advanced.
C.Different glaciers became a whole one.
D.The fjords became narrow.
（3）What is mainly discussed in the last paragraph?
A.How the water killed off the plants.
B.When vegetation returned to Glacier Bay.
C.What the relationship between plants and animals is.
D.Why Glacier Bay is sometimes called “a land reborn”.

【答案】
（1）A
（2）B
（3）D
【解析】冰川灣國(guó)家公園是美國(guó)最著名的公園之一，面積廣大，地形復(fù)雜。正如它的名字所暗示的，大部分的公園是由冰川覆蓋的。今天在公園里發(fā)現(xiàn)的冰川是冰川時(shí)代的小冰川期所遺留下來(lái)的東西。這一時(shí)期大約始于4000年前，持續(xù)到18世紀(jì)。后來(lái)，隨著氣溫逐漸升高，那些極高的參差不齊的山和峽灣就是由冰川前進(jìn)和融化形成的。那些融化了的冰水使許多植物滅絕，又過(guò)了200多年植被才又重新回到了這塊土地，繼而引來(lái)了許多動(dòng)物，生命的回歸使得這個(gè)地方有了“重生的陸地”之名。
（1）A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第一段中提到了冰川灣的位置，地形和動(dòng)物種類等。沒(méi)有提及它的氣候和動(dòng)物的數(shù)量，排除B、D項(xiàng)。This park in the southeastern part of the state covers more than 1 million hectares of Alaskan wilderness這句意思是說(shuō)，冰川灣占了100萬(wàn)公頃的阿拉斯加荒地，而選項(xiàng)C指的是阿拉斯加荒地的面積，不是同一個(gè)概念。故排除。
（2）B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第四段第一句During the Little Ice Age, the cold weather caused the ice to grow and advance得知，在小冰河期寒冷的天氣使得冰山增長(zhǎng)和發(fā)展。
（3）D主旨大意題。文章的最后一段主要討論了這個(gè)地區(qū)在融化了的冰水破壞了植被200年后又重新恢復(fù)生機(jī)，成了一塊“重生的土地”。

【題目】Listed below are the stories of women you may not know about, but definitely should.

Hedy Lamarr

Hedy Lamarr starred in many films. But her film career is far from her only noteworthy achievement; she was also a brilliant inventor. In 1942, she and composer George Antheil received a patent（專利）for a device that could change radio signal frequencies. The purpose of the technology was to keep military enemies from figuring out messages. But it did more than that - it laid a foundation for the wireless technology we use today.

Maria Sibylla Merian

Today, children can happily explain how a caterpillar（毛蟲） tums into a butterfly. But there was a time when no one knew this. Until the 1670s, scientists thought that caterpillars and butterflies were two totally different creatures. Thanks to Maria, we know the truth about these beautiful winged insects. Fascinated by insects, she began collecting, studying and drawing them as a child. It was through her study of caterpillars that she discovered the truth about their life cycles. She published two volumes of naturalist research, which provide major contributions to the field of entomology（昆蟲學(xué)）.

Ada Lovelace

Ada Lovelace, the daughter of celebrated British poet Lord Byron, wasn’t a poet herself but the world’s first computer programmer. We think of computers as a recent invention, but people were toying with the idea of “computing machines” in the mid – 19th century when Lovelace was alive. Lovelace’s mathematical genius was apparent at a young age and caught the attention of Cambridge professor Charles Babbage, who was working to design early computing machines that would be able to quickly solve math problems. Lovelace wrote some suggestions as to how to program the machines to work out numbers.

In addition to designing this early computer program, she was also the first to surest that these computers might be able to do more than compute. She imagined them doing almost everything, from producing images to composing music.

【1】What does the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refer to?

A. The technology. B. The patent.

C. The device. D. The film career.

【2】Before Maria’s discovery, people thought that .

A. a butterfly was insect without wings

B. a butterfly was turned from a caterpillar

C. a caterpillar had nothing to do with a butterfly

D. a caterpillar and a butterfly were insects of a kind

【3】What can we learn about Ada Lovelace from the text?

A. She possessed literary talent just like her father.

B. She foresaw various function& of the computer.

C. She received education in Cambridge University.

D. She is considered to have invented the computer.

【4】What did the three women have in common?

A. They discovered priceless things existing in nature.

B. They were entirely devoted to women’s rights.

C. They were expert at information technology.

D. They made great contributions to science.

【題目】閱讀理解
It was in the Victorian Era(維多利亞時(shí)期) that the novel became the leading form of literature in English. Most writers were more concerned to meet the tastes of the middle class. The best known works of the period included the works of Charles Dickens and the Bronté sisters and others.
Charles Dickens came on the literary scene in the 1830s. Dickens wrote vividly about London life and the struggles of the poor. Most of his works were written in a very humorous style, which was popular with readers of all classes.
The Bronté sisters were English writers of the 1840s and 1850s. They began to write from early childhood. In 1846 they published the first book at their own expense as poets; however, their book attracted little attention, selling only two copies. Then the sisters turned to writing novels, each producing a novel in the following year.
An interest in rural matters and the changing social and economic situation of the countryside may be seen in the novels of Thomas Hardy and a number of others.
Literature for children developed as a single style. Some works became well-known, such as those of Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear. Adventure novels were written for adults but are now generally grouped in the list for children. Helen Beatrix Potter was an English author at the end of the Victorian Era, best known for her children's books, which featured animal characters. In her thirties, Potter published the highly successful children's book The Tale of Peter Rabbit in 1902.
（1）What can we know about Charles Dickens from the text?
A.He described the struggles of the poor in London.
B.He showed an interest in rural matters in his writing.
C.He focused on changing social and economic situation of the countryside.
D.He published the highly successful children's book.
（2）Which is TRUE about the Bronté sisters?
A.They were English writers of the 1830s.
B.They paid to have their first book published.
C.They began their writing from adulthood.
D.Their first book was successful.
（3）The author states in the last paragraph that ________.
A.society changed rapidly in the Victorian Era
B.Thomas Hardy was not as famous as Lewis Carroll
C.Edward Lear was famous for writing about animals
D.adventure novels were not written for children at first
（4）This text is mainly about ________.
A.literature in the Victorian Era
B.writing styles in the Victorian Era
C.famous works in the Victorian Era
D.the importance of literature in the Victorian Era
