阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写在横线上（请注意问题后的词数要求） [1] For the people living in the Nile Basin，the river is their life. This 6,825 km river，whose watershed (流域) covers three million square kilometers，flows through mountains，woodlands，lakes and deserts. Its potential for fishing，tourism and shipping is great — but so are its challenges. [2] Water shortage，already serious in Egypt and Sudan，will soon influence several other countries in the watershed, too. Today，about 160 million people depend on the Nile River for their living. Within the next 25 years，the district's population is expected to double，adding to the demand brought about by growth in industry and agriculture. The frequent drought adds to the urgency. [3] Water quality is also a problem. Precious soil is washed out to sea. Wastes from industry and agriculture create pollution. Higher concentrations of salt influence irrigated soils. Waterborne diseases continue unchecked. In areas where it's hot and damp，water hyacinths choke off lakes，dams and other sections of the river，making it difficult for fishing and other businesses to move forward. [4] Native people along the narrow area of farmland have watched the sand move closer day by day. They've seen the river change course，and their only source of water thickened with mud. They're very poor and have few choices. [5] But a new program，the Nile Basin Initiative，is offering very practical assistance. The program is ________ a watermanagement project. It's a plan for the social and economic development of a vast district as well：it concentrates on the needs of the poorest of the poor and the environment that supports them. [6] These are whole ecosystem problems，calling for united solutions．Half the Nile Basin's countries are among the world's poorest nations；yet，somehow，they must find the resources，skills and political will to overcome these challenges. 1.What is the main idea of the second and third paragraphs? (No more than 10 words) ___________________________________________________________________ 2.Fill in the blanks in Paragraph 5 with proper words. (No more than 4 words) ___________________________________________________________________ 3.How large will the population of River Nile district be within the next 25 years?

“Just take a deep breath.” “Don’t think about it.” “You’re more likely to die in a car wreck on the way to the airport than you are in a plane crash.” These are just some words given to people with a fear of flying. But as Tom Cruise, playing Lt. Daniel Kaffee in the movie A Few Good Men, said, “I get sick when I fly because I’m afraid of crashing into a large mountain. I don’t think Daniel will help.” But there’s a new application that just may. Today, the VALK Foundation, a Dutch group that’s a partnership between KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and the University of Leiden, launches the app in the US. The VALK Foundation was one of the first centers for research and fear-of-flying treatment in the world and is the organizer of three world conferences on fear of flying.The foundation said the app, called Flight App VALK, is the first scientifically-developed, web-based treatment for people who suffer from mild to moderate fear of flying. “The fear of flying application we have created aims to transfer all of the knowledge we have developed through our program into a mobile application that will help ease travelers’ fears,” said Dr. Lucas van Gerwen, director of the VALK Foundation. Dr. van Gerwen is also a psychologist and professional pilot with more than 30 years experience. The foundation said up to 30% of adults are fearful fliers. The Flight App is designed to help relax passengers before and during flights by educating users about flight safety and turbulence. It explains the sounds and sensations they can expect during departure, flight and landing. And, if a passenger’s flight stress reaches a panic level, they press a special panic button which provides audio and written information to help decrease stress levels. Most importantly, the Flight App can be used during the flight in the airplane mode. Once downloaded, the program does not require Internet connection in the air. 1.By saying the words at the beginning of the passage, people are expected to ______. A．decrease their fear of flying B．get rid of their doubt about plane C．have a good time on their flight journey D．use some medicine to cure their fear of flying 2.Flight App VALK is aimed to ______. A．help passengers experience the fear of flying B．help relax passengers before and during flights C．treat people who suffer from mild fear of flying D．teach people the basic knowledge of taking flight 3.According to the passage, the VALK Foundation ______. A．is a group focusing on psychology on the flight B．was the first center to do research into fear of flying C．organize the world conferences on fear of flying annually D．focuses on researching and offering treatment on fear of flying 4.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us? A．Many adults are suffering from fear of flying B．It’s convenient for people to use the Flight App C．Many planes will be installed with the Flight App. D．The Flight App can decrease stress levels effectively 5.In which column of a newspaper can we read this passage? A．Culture B．Entertainment C．Technology D．Education
I’m not so sure I like my friends any more. I used to like them — to be honest. We’d have lunch, talk on the phone or exchange e-mails, and they all seemed normal enough. But then came Facebook and I was introduced to a sad fact: many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from me. Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via Facebook. No longer hidden, they’re thrown in my face like TV commercials — unavoidable and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities. Take Fred. If you were to have lunch with him, you’d find him warm, and down-to-earth. Read his Facebook and you realize he’s an unbearable, food-obsessed bore. He’d pause to have a cup of coffee on his way to save a drowning man — and then write about it. Take Andy. You won’t find a smarter CEO anywhere, but now he’s a CEO without a company to lull. So he plays Mafia Wars on Facebook. He’s doing well — level 731. Thanks to Facebook, I know he’s playing about 18 hours a day. Andy, you’ve run four companies — and this is how you spend your downtime? What happened to golf? What happened to getting another job? Take Liz. She is positive that the H1N1 vaccine will kill us all and that we should avoid it. And then comes Chris who likes to post at least 20 times a day on every website he can find, so I get to read his thoughts twice, once on Facebook and once on Twitter. In real life, I don’t see these sides of people. Face to face, my friends show me their best. They’re nice, smart people. But face to Facebook, my friends are like a blind date which goes horribly wrong. I’m left with a dilemma. Who is my real friend? Is it the Liz I have lunch with or the anti-vaccine lunatic(狂人)on Facebook? Is it the Fred I can grab a sandwich with or the Fred who weeps if he’s at a party and the wine isn’t up to his standards? 1.Who is opposed to the H1N1 vaccine in the text? A．Fred. B．Andy. C．Liz. D．Chris. 2.What’s Andy probably busy in doing now? A．He’s running his company. B．He’s playing golf all day. C．He’s looking for another job. D．He’s playing computer games. 3.According to the text, Facebook tends to ______. A．present another side of people B．offer some food for free C．show endless advertisements D．get you to more parties 4.The text is developed mainly by ______. A．giving examples B．following the time order C．listing figures D．raising questions 5.The author focuses on the question of ______. A．what is Facebook B．what happened to golf C．who is my real friend D．who can help me
There are many great movie directors of all time and the following are five of those who have largely impressed audience with their body of work. As a member of the New Hollywood gang, Francis Coppola is best remembered for The God father series. His decision to cast Marlon Brando in the lead also met with fierce opposition from the studio bosses. Good sense became popular, and The God father went on to become one of the most memorable movies ever. Critics may point out that he has become less creative after his seventies, but try as one might, no one can possibly take the place of this great director’s work. Stanley Kubrick’s movies focus on the themes like sci-fi, horror, dark humor and war. He used symbolism in most of his movies, giving us some wonderful screen visuals, as shown in 2001: A Space Odyssey. His actors in Hollywood complained about the endless number of retakes, but they appreciated the performance he milked out of them. People argue about films like Lolita, A Clockwork Orange and Paths of Glory, but these are now seen as classics. Steven Spielberg is a great success at the box office, and he is one of the world’s most popular filmmakers today. As the creator of classics like Schindler’s List, Jurassic Park, ET, Indiana Jones series, Jaws, Saving Private Ryan, no one can win his hold over the audience. His critics accuse him of being emotional and over the top, but the fact remains that his movies attract the audience, and set the cash registers ringing. Woody Allen is a director who directs movies full of crime and hate. This comic genius has given us Annie Hall, Hannah and Her Sisters and Midnight in Paris, which have also become classical. His movies constantly include characters who arouse the audience’s sympathy and laughter at the same time, as they set out on a journey of self-discovery. Hollywood star power has never fazed Allen. Thankfully, awards and honors do not interest him, which results in creativity that is original. 1.What do the directors mentioned in the passage have in common? A．They are interested in awards for their works. B．They are members of the New Hollywood gang. C．They have created a lot of movies taken as classics. D．They focus their themes on negative side of the society 2.The movie Indiana Jones series is directed by ______. A．Francis Coppola B．Woody Allen C．Stanley Kubrick D．Steven Spielberg 3.Stanley Kubrick’s works include the following except ______. A．Midnight in Paris B．2001: A Space Odyssey C．A Clockwork Orange D．Paths of Glory 4.It is implied in the underlined sentence Steven Spielberg ______. A．was successful in amusing the audience B．succeeded in making a great box office C．became much better at creating classics D．had set a cash register working for himself 5.What will be discussed in the paragraph that follows this passage? A．Their contribution to the society B．The difference between the directors C．Another famous movie directors D．More great movies from the directors

阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（请注意问题后的词数要求）。 [1]When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault. "or "I know I’m late, but it’s not my fault; the car broke down. " It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. [2]However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to improve the situation. This is the winner’s key to success. [3]Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. [4]Actually, cases of this kind are common occurrence. If your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability __________ simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well. [5]This is what being a winner is all about ----- creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situation to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on "whose fault it is. " Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success. 1.What is the best title of the passage? (no more than 5 words)

Although Paris is often considered the city of romance， close to a million adults who call it home are single. Many single people say that France’s capital is one of the most difficult places to meet people. The complaints of this lonely group have inspired a new phenomenon known as “supermarket dating.” At Galerie Lafayette Gourmet，singles can shop for more than just the items on their grocery list. They can look for someone who has blue eyes， brown hair，and is 1.8 meters tall，or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list. At this Paris location，single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday nights between 6:30 and 9:00 p.m. When they walk through the door，they pick up a purple basket to advise that they are looking for love. They try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly, and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles(过道). With purple baskets in hand， shoppers can consider their romantic options while they pick out their groceries. When they are ready to pay， they can go to the checkout line for singles who want to chat. Most of the people who look for love in the supermarket are skeptical of Internet dating. They know that it is easy to embellish（美化）one’s appearance or to lie about one’s age over the Internet. The supermarket， on the other hand，is considered a safe and casual environment in which to meet a potential match. In addition， what one finds in another’s grocery basket can say a thing or two about that person’s character or intentions. Buying pet food can be a man’s way of showing a potential match that he has a sensitive side. Women who fill their baskets with low-fat food show their healthy style of living. These ways it’s possible to find much more than food at a grocery store. 1.What do many single people in Paris complain about? A．The difficulty in meeting people. B．The idea of supermarket dating. C．The items on their grocery list. D．The inconvenience in shopping. 2.Which of the following can be inferred but is not clearly stated in the second paragraph? A．The dating supermarket is located in Paris. B．The dating supermarket is open only on Thursday evenings. C．People looking for love must get a basket of a particular color D．The dating supermarket has very good business. 3.How do love shoppers meet one another? A．They schedule their meeting in advance. B．They go through a special checkout. C．They pick out their groceries with great care. D．They dial the phone numbers on their shopping items. 4.According to the writer，a possible way to win a woman’s heart is to . A．pick up a purple basket B．buy low-fat food C．embellish your appearance D．buy pet food 5.Why do the people prefer the supermarket dating to Internet dating? A．The supermarket dating is more convenient. B．The supermarket dating is more casual. C．The supermarket dating can be trusted more. D．The supermarket dating is less expensive.
Howard Dill is a giant among giant pumpkin growers. He grew world champion pumpkins for four years running，from 1979 to 1982，and missed winning the fifth year by a mere 5 pounds. Today，his Dill Atlantic Giant seeds are sold worldwide to more than 50 seed companies. The pumpkins grown from his Dill Atlantic Giant seeds commonly weigh in at over 1,000 pounds.“I don’t have any training in genetics ；it was all trial and error，”Dill says. He inherited his love of pumpkins from his father and has enjoyed growing them for years. Dill still grows giant pumpkins, but not for competition. In the fall, visitors come to enjoy the pumpkin patch on his 90-acre farm in Nova Scotia，Canada. He plants ten acres of pumpkins for Halloween and two acres of giant pumpkins. One of giant pumpkins was recently baked into 442 pumpkin pies and sold at $ 5 each for charity. It you want to try growing a giant pumpkin, Dill recommends starting with a soil test and then adding fertilizer as needed. Plant the giant pumpkin seed.

Dill’s favorite pumpkin set the Guinness Book record in 1981. It weighted 493.5 pounds. “I’ve grown them larger since， but that one meant a lot,” he remembers. “I never would have predicted ten years ago that there would be a 1,000-pounder，but there are many of them now，”says Dill。The 2006 world record holder is Larry Checkon of Pennsylvania.
