(A)
In 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the “moon people” they met. In turn, the “moon people” expressed their surprise. “Why,” they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?”
H.G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.
Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The “Chunnel”, a tunnel connecting England and France, is now complete.
But what about underground cities? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called “Alice Cities”. The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.
Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells’ “moon people” would agree. Would you?
1. The explorers in H. G. Wells’ story were surprised to find that the“moon people” ___________.
A. knew so much about the earth B. understood their language
C. lived in so many underground cities D. were ahead of them in space technology
2. What does the underlined word “it” (Paragraph 2) refer to?
A. Discovering the moon’s inner space. B. Using the earth’s inner space.
C. Meeting the“moon people”again. D. Traveling to outer space.
3. What sort of underground systems are already here with us?
A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations.
B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.
C. Gardens, car parks, power stations.
D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.
4. The word “wilderness” in the last paragraph means___________.
A. wildlife B. poor districts
C. desert D. an area that is not allowed to build on
5. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Alice Cities — cities of the future
B. Space travel with H. G. Wells
C. Enjoy living underground
D. Building down, not up

CHILDREN AND GAMES
As we all know, games play a very important role in the growth of children. Children should grow along with playing games; 31 , through playing, they can not only acquire knowledge, but also cultivate their abilities to get along with others.
However, most children are 32 ( face ) with a completely different situation. Most parents fear that games will prevent children from increasing new knowledge and 33 the children will fail in the future examinations. So, instead of 34 ( let ) the children 35 find and learn naturally from their surroundings, they force their children to take part in various kinds of classes, learning English, playing 36 piano or practising drawing, etc. What’s more, some parents put 37 the children’s toys which are very useful in developing children’s imagination and practical abilities.
38 is a piece of good advice to those parents: 39 you want to expect your child to be able to accomplish something, you must first of all develop his ability to adapt to the new surroundings. That cram education can lead to nothing 40 a failure in the children’s growth.

What is intelligence anyway? When I was in the army I 21 an intelligence test that all soldiers took, and, against an average of 100, scored 160.
I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not possibly have scored more than 80. Yet, when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him — and he always 22 it.
Well, then, suppose my auto-repair man designed questions for some intelligence tests. By every one of them I’d prove myself a 23 . In a world where I have to work with my hands, I’d do poorly.
Consider my auto-repair man again. He had a habit of telling 24 . One time he said, “Doc, a deaf-and-dumb man 25 some nails. Having entered a store, he put two fingers together on the counter and made 26 movements with the other hand. The clerk brought him a hammer. He shook his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk 27 him some nails. He picked out the right size and left. Well, Doc, the next man who came in was blind. He wanted scissors. How do you suppose he asked for them?” I lifted my right hand and made scissoring movements with my first two fingers. He burst out laughing and said, “Why, you fool, he used his 28 and asked for them. I’ve been 29 that on all my customers today, but I knew for sure I’d catch you.” “Why is that?” I asked. “Because you are so goddamned educated, Doc. I knew you couldn’t be very 30 .”
And I have an uneasy feeling he had something there.

读写任务(满分25分)
阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Throughout history man has changed his physical environment in order to improve his way of life. With the tools of technology he has altered(改变)many physical features(特征)of the earth. He has transformed(完全改变) woodlands and prairies(大草原) into farms and made lakes and reservoirs(水库) out of rivers for irrigation purposes or hydroelectric power(发电站). Man has also modified(修改) the face of the earth by draining marshes(排干沼泽) and cutting through mountains to build roads and railways.
However, man's changes to the physical environment have not always had beneficial(有利的)results. Today, pollution of the air and water is an increasing danger to the health of the planet. Each day thousands of tons of gases come out of the exhausts of motor vehicles. Smoke from factories pollutes the air of industrialized areas and the surrounding areas of the countryside. The pollution of water is equally harmful. The whole ecological(生态的) balance of the sea is being changed and industrial wastes have already made many rivers lifeless.
Now environmental protection is more pressing than ever before. As we know, massive destruction(毁灭)of environment has brought about negative effects and even poses a great threat (威胁)to man's existence. Indifference to these problems will mean committing suicide. Therefore, effective measures should be taken and laws passed to conserve(保护) environment. Otherwise, man is certain to suffer from the serious consequences(后果)caused by this lack of care for his living surroundings.
