When India was seeking independence from Britain,the country's Muslim population real?ized that if India became independent,the country would be governed mainly by Hindus. They did not want to be ruled by people of a different religion.

  In 1946,the Muslim League organized a day of " Direct Action". This resulted in Muslims killing Hindus. Attempts to stop the unrest and bring the two sides together failed. It seemed that there would be war in India. The British tried to help the two sides reach an agreement.

  Although Gandhi was against the division of India,his opinion however was ignored by the major political parties―the Muslim League and Hindu Congress Party. When no agreement could be reached,the decision was made to divide the country into two sections following inde?pendence.

  The task of dividing the country was impossible. In many places there were equal numbers of Hindu and Muslim people. Finally,a British man was given the task of drawing the line which created the Muslim state of Pakistan and divided India forever. He was chosen for his neutral position,as neither the Hindus nor the Muslims trusted each other.

  India gained its independence on 15th August,1947,and a period of great violence fol?lowed. Hindus and Muslims killed each other. Many people lost their lives. The Indian Army,which was supposed to stop the fighting,either did nothing or actively joined in the killing.

  There was death everywhere. Millions of Muslims fled to Pakistan while Hindus headed to?wards India from Pakistan. This movement lasted for months.

  Gandhi was saddened by the killings. He could not prevent the disaster,but he was very upset. The final part of the tragedy was his being murdered. He was killed by a Hindu who did not agree with Gandhi's wish for Hindus and Muslims to live together in peace.

(   ) 5. The conflict between Hindus and Muslims has its origin in         .

   A. religion   B. language   C. land   D. population

(   ) 6. Which of the following is the right order according to the passage? a. India got the independence from Britain.

b. The Muslim League organized a day of "Direct Action".

c. The country was divided into two sections.

d. Gandhi was murdered by a Hindu.

   A. a-b-c-d   B. d-c-b-a   C. b-a-c-d   D. c-a-d-b

(   ) 7. Why was a British man asked to draw the line between Hindus and Muslims?

   A. Both sides were violent.

   B. British conquered the India.

   C. Both sides hoped for a fair division.

   D. The army of the country was not powerful.

(   ) 8. Which of the following is true about Gandhi?

   A. He was on the side of the Muslims.

   B. He was in favor of the division of India and Pakistan.

   C. He contributed to drawing a line between the two sections.

   D. He promoted peace instead of violence to solve the problem.

B篇：本文介紹了英國(guó)結(jié)束對(duì)印度的殖民統(tǒng)治后，印度一分為二，成立了印度和巴基斯坦兩個(gè)國(guó)家的歷史。

5. A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章首段中"They did not want to be ruled by people of a different reli?gion. "說(shuō)明雙方矛盾的根源是宗教信仰。

6. C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第二段得知"Direct Ac?tion"發(fā)生于 1946年，從第五段得知印度獨(dú)立于1947年。由文章第三段可知印巴分裂于獨(dú)立之后。從文章的后三段可以看出印巴分裂后，相互殺戮和爭(zhēng)斗不斷，甘地為殺戮感到痛心，最后被持不同政見(jiàn)者殺害。

7. C段落理解題。從第四段中"Finally,a British man was given the task of drawing the line which created the Muslim state of Pakistan and divided India forever. He was chosen for his neutral position,as neither the Hindus nor the Muslims trusted each other."可以看出印巴雙方均不相信對(duì)方，所以請(qǐng)英國(guó)人來(lái)劃分界線，以期公平。

8. D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章的第三段和最后一段提及Gandhi的態(tài)度是不贊同印巴分裂，希望雙方和平相處。

 A teenager from Thousand Oaks received a warm welcome as he sailed into Marina Del Rey on July 16,2009,becoming the youngest person to circle the globe by sea alone.

Zac Sunderland arrived in Marina Del Rey with his 36-foot boat Intrepid at about 10 a. m. local time. During his 28,000-nauticaI-mile journey,he braved storms,equipment failures and a conflict with suspected pirates.

  "It's great to be back," Sunderland,of Thousand Oaks,California,said after he was wel?comed home by a group of friends.

  Fewer than 250 people have sailed around the globe alone,according to the American Sail?ing Association,which certified Sunderland's feat.

  He left Marina Del Rey,just south of Los Angeles,on June 14,2008,and celebrated his 17th birthday at sea while off Africa's Cape of Good Hope.

  His return was delayed near the end of his voyage when his boat had a broken bulkhead in rough seas off Mexico,forcing him to stop at Puerto Vallarta long enough to wait for his father to fly there to make repairs.

  Another tense moment occurred in the Indian Ocean off Indonesia where the Intrepid was approached by a suspected pirated boat.

  "The intruders fled after a plane flew overhead and Sunderland climbed onto its deck with a gun to keep them off," said Cilarlie Nobles,executive director of the association.

  Sunderland,who remained in contact with his father by satellite telephone during the voy?age,threw the gun away before entering Mexican waters,where it is illegal to carry private fire?arms.

  He becomes the first person under 18 to travel around the globe by sea alone,and the youngest to date. The previous recordholder was David Dicks of Australia,who completed his voyage in November 1996 at the age of 18.

(   ) 1. Which statement about Sunderland's voyage is true?

   A. He completed his voyage in about 13 months.

   B. He is the first one to travel around the globe by sea.

   C. His father flew a plane to drive the pirates off.

   D. On June 14 ,2008,he reached the Cape of Good Hope.

(   ) 2. Why did Sunderland stop at Puerto Vallarta?

   A. To avoid the terrible weather.

   B. To delay the time of his return.

   C. To wait for help from his father.

   D. To avoid the intruders.

(   ) 3. The youngest person who sailed around the globe alone was         .

   A. Charlie Nobles   B. David Dicks

 The United States government wants to know what the public thinks about its findings on the safety of cloned animals.

  The Food and Drug Administration says meat and milk from clones of adult cattle,pigs and goats are safe to eat. An F. D. A. official called them "as safe to eat as the food we eat every day. " And when those clones reproduce sexually,the agency says,their offspring (后代) are safe to eat as well. But research on cloned sheep is limited. So the F. D. A. proposes that sheep clones not be used for human food.

  The United States this year could become the first country to approve the sale of foods from cloned animals. First,however,the public will have ninety days to comment on three proposed documents. On December 28th the F. D. A. released a long report,called a draft risk assess?ment,along with two policy documents.

  The agency says it must receive comments by April second. The F. D. A. seemed ready to act several years ago,but an advisory committee called for more research.

  For now,the government will continue to ask producers to honor a request that they not sell foods from cloned animals.

  Clones are still rare. They cost a lot and are difficult to produce.

  The F. D. A. says most food from cloning is expected to come not from clones themselves,but from their sexually reproduced offspring. It says clones are expected to be used mostly as breeding animals to spread good qualities.

  Public opinion studies show most Americans do not like the idea of food from cloned ani?mals. But this research also shows the public knows little about cloning.

  Cloning differs from genetic engineering. A cell taken from a socalled donor animals is grown into an embryo (胚胎) in the laboratory. Next,the embryo is placed into the uterus (子宮) of a female animal. If the process is successful,the pregnancy reaches full term and a genetic copy of the donor animal is born.

   A. foods from cloned animals are popular in America

   B. cloned adult animals are safe to eat except sheep

   C. cloned animals will be easy to produce

(   ) 2. The main purpose of the text is to         .

   C. give a report   D. compare different opinions

(   ) 3. Who believes that foods from cloning are safe to eat?

   A. Most Americans. B. An advisory committee.

   C. Critics. D. The F. D. A.

(   ) 4. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that         .

   A. cloning has much in common with genetic

   B. not every cell taken from a donor animal can grow into a genetic copy

   C. the donor animal should be a female one

   D. cloned animals grow faster than normal ones

  They will soon fast track a new resort at Inuvik,on the Arctic Ocean. It will be extremely popular,mainly because it will be the only beach resort left where people can enjoy a nice cool swim. A six lane (車道) highway will be built so people from across North America can easily access the resort with their SUV's and Winnebagos.

  By 2010 parts of the southern States will be abandoned due to the heat and the extreme weather. So,the parts of Las Vegas that can be moved will be moved to Inuvik,along with a bunch of shopping malls.

  Immediately next to the beach will be a huge iceberg,made out of white plastic. Penguins and pandas,by popular demand,will be placed on the top; elephants and giraffes will be imported to run around on a platform at the base of the iceberg. Unfortunately the plastic,of course,will soon damage the feet of the animals,so they will all have to wear pink booties. So,as all the animals proudly walk around in their booties,all the Americans will agree that,although Inuvik isn't a Disneyland or a Las Vegas,it certainly is a nice cool place.

  In 2010,most of the people in the southern United States will escape the fires,heat,hurricanes,tornados,snow,and flooding by heading north to the Arctic Ocean where they will settle in the resort city of Inuvik. This location not only has a cool ocean to swim in,but at the end of the beach there are two real trees to enjoy. Those trees will look strong and healthy,because they will be nourished and protected by a team of 140 dedicated workers,24 hours a day.

  In late June,tourists in Inuvik will love to enjoy themselves for 20 hours a day in real sunshine (which will be mostly smog free,as long as the wind blows from the north) . In the winter,Inuvik will be even busier. It will attract people from around the globe who want to adapt to global warming by escaping.

  The escape will last all night long,and in Inuvik in December,that means the party goes on for 24 hours. At the end of the night,as the party comes to an end,everyone will have a chance to pause and relax,then they can plunge into the next night's party. Inuvik will be the most popular resort on the planet.

(   ) 1. Why will Inuvik become an extremely popular resort in 2010,according to the passage?

   A. Tourists can enjoy themselves together with some animals.

   B. People can enjoy a nice cool summer in Inuvik.

   C. Las Vegas will have been moved to Inuvik.

   D. Almost all the highways are built for people to go there.

   B. It will be made up of many small icebergs on the Arctic Ocean.

   C. Another Disneyland may be set up on the huge iceberg.

   D. The manmade iceberg will attract many tourists from around the globe.

(   ) 3. In 2010,people in the southern United States will         .
