Last month I got the chance to take part in an underwater research project in an area of the Gulf of Mexico called the Flower Gardens. A team of professional researchers, led by the scientist Dr Matt Phillips, was trying to learn more about the fish and different creatures that livein this part of the sea. The Flower Gardens are a long way from the shore (海岸) and we spent three days on a boat.

The team used a piece of underwater equipment(装备) called ROV to collect information. The ROV was great fun. It was controlled by a computer on the boat, and I was allowed to operate it a few times. However, the thing I enjoyed most was diving into the water. At first, I was quite scared---mainly because I couldn’t see land in any direction. But as soon as I jumped into the water, I wasn’t afraid any more. It was amazing to see the colorful fish swimming around and I could see all the ways to the Flower Gardens, which are almost 30 meters down.

I will never forget the Flower Gardens. The trip was like a holiday but I also learnt new things about science and research projects. It was a great chance and it has made me think about my goals in life. The experience will help me work harder to become a scientist.

31. What does the writer want to tell us in the article?

A. To describe the experience he had in a science project.

B. To explain how to protect the wildlife under water.

C. To give advice on understanding difficult areas of science.

D. To encourage others to organize their own science projects.

32. What does the writer say about ROV?

A. It was very boring.                   B. It was used to collect information.

C. It was so difficult to control.           D. It was controlled only by man.

33. Which of the following words best describes the writer’s feeling towards diving?

A. Bored.           B. Frightened.       C. Amazed.       D. Sad.

34. What influence has the trip had on the writer?

A. It has changed his opinion of science.

B. It has improved the way he works in a team.

C. It has made him more interested in the sea.

D. It has encouraged him to work harder towards his goals.

 

The Flower Gardens are beautiful but scientists are worried that pollution is becoming more and more serious.

35. What might the writer write in his diary about the trip?

 

 

It was interesting to work with Dr Phillips and his team but I wish someone else my age had been on the trip.

A.                                       B.     

 

Going to the Flower Gardens was great fun. I now know much more about science but I realize there’s still a lot more to learn.

The trip was like a holiday and I saw some amazing fish. The only thing I dislike was collecting information about the sea.

C.                                        D.  

 

 

                                D

Animals do many different, amazing things to get through the winter. Some of them migrate. They travel to other places where the weather is warmer or where they can find food.

Many birds migrate in autumn. Because the trip can be dangerous, some travel in large groups. For example, geese(鹅) fly in noisy, “V”-shaped groups. Other kinds of birds fly alone.

Some animals stay active in winter. They must change themselves as the weather changes. Many change their doing or their bodies. For example, snowshoe rabbits grow white fur to help them hide in the snow.

Food is hard to find in winter. Some animals, like mice, collect lots of food in autumn and store it to eat later. Some animals eat different kinds of food as the seasons change.

Some animals hibernate for part or all of the winter. This is a special, very deep sleep. The animal’s body temperature drops, and its heartbeat and breathing slow down. It uses very little energy. In autumn, these animals get ready for winter by eating much more food than in summer and storing it as body fat. They use this fat to keep them alive while hibernating.

Water makes good protection for many animals. When the weather gets cold, they move to the bottom of lakes and rivers. There, frogs and many fish hide under rocks or fallen leaves. Cold water holds more oxygen than warm water, and frogs can breathe through their skin.

Every type of insect has its own life cycle and that is the way it grows and changes. Different insects spend the winter in different forms of their lives. Some insects also spend the winter without moving. Some insects spend the winter as pupae（蛹）. Other insects die after laying eggs in autumn. The eggs change into new insects in spring and everything begins all over again.

36. What does the underlined word “migrate” in the first paragraph most probably mean ?

A. move from one place to another           B. sleep in the winter  

C. disappear                            D. look for food

37. Why do many birds fly in large groups?

A. They can easily find food this way.      B. There may be danger during the trip.

C. They can get warm at night.          D. They will use little energy.

38. Snowshoe rabbits spend the cold winter by __________.

A. breathing through their skin        B. eating a lot of food

C. sleeping for the whole winter       D. growing whitethicker fur

39. The main purpose of the examples in the last paragraph is to tell us ________.

A. most insects die when winter comes

B. different insects grow and change in their own ways

C. most insects spend the winter without moving           

D. different insects grow and change in the same ways

40. What is the passage mainly about?

A. How living things grow and change in the winter.

B. How living things spend the winter.

C. How living things get food in the winter.

D. How living things travel in the winter.

For me, Christmas always began in the middle of the cold,    windy month of November. My sister, Alison, and I each sat down in front   of the fire and wrote a letter to Father Christmas telling him about all the presents we wanted. We seriously wrote “Father Christmas, the North Pole” on the envelope, before givingthem to our mother to post.

With December our excitement grew each day—as we opened the new year calendar, Christmas cards arrived in the post, Christmas lights appeared in the streets, and we attended the town carol service. And of course, there was snow everywhere, enough snow to make snowmen, and to have exciting snowball fights in the school playground.

On Christmas Eve, the whole family helped to decorate(装饰) the house, put up the Christmas tree. Then, in the afternoon, when Auntie Kathleen and my two cousins arrived, everything was ready. Before we went to bed, we left some wine and biscuits for Father Christmas and then put our stockings (长筒袜) at the end of our beds. We tried to stay awake as long as possible to see Father Christmas but the next thing we knew it was morning. Christmas morning!

At the bottom of the bed was the stocking, now full of all kinds of small presents and sweets. Christmas morning was bright and sunny, so my cousin David and I went out into the garden to play with our new presents. Lunch was always late, but what a lunch! A big turkey with all the vegetables followed by Christmas pudding (布丁). We sang Christmas carols happily, laughed at jokes, put on silly paper hats and laughed again.

After lunch, the adults slept on the sofas in front of the Queen’s speech on television while we all played cards. Then we had tea, with a huge Christmas cake covered with snowmen. It didn’t seem possible, but we carried on eating. By bedtime all of the children were very tired. As soon as we turned off the light, we all fell into a deep, happy sleep.

41. What does the underlined word “them” in the first paragraph refer to(所指)？             A. Letters.                                B. Presents.       

C. The writer’s parents.                   D. The writer’s cousins.

42. Who do you think may read the children’s letters?

A. Father Christmas.                        B. Nobody.                          C. Their parents.                              D. Their classmates.

43. What probably happened on Christmas Eve?

A. The writer stayed awake all night.          

B. Someone put presents in the writer’s stocking.

C. The writer saw Father Christmas.      

D. Some children played with their new presents.

44. What happened after lunch?

A. The adults watched a film about the Queen.  B. The children made a snowman.

C. The adults played cards.                 D. The children had a lot to eat.

45. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

A. History of Christmas                     B. Memories of Christmas

C. Western festivals                            D. Father Christmas
