Pierre is a 25-year-old penguin at the California Academy of Sciences. Due to his old age, he was going bald, which made him feel too cold to swim in the pool. Therefore, biologists at the academy had a wetsuit created for this penguin to help him get back in the swimming pool. Unlike marine mammals, which have a layer of fat to keep them warm, penguins depend on their waterproof feathers. Without them, Pierre was unwilling to jump into the swimming pool and ended up trembling on the side of the pool while his 19 peers played in the water.

"He was cold; he would shake," said Pam Schaller, a senior biologist. Schaller first tried a heat lamp to keep Pierre warm. Then she got another idea: if wetsuits keep humans warm in the cold Pacific, why not make one for Pierre?Schaller designed the suit, which covered Pierre’s body and had small openings for his flippers. “I would walk behind him and look at where there were any gaps, and cut and refit and cut and refit until it looked like it was extremely suitable,” she said.

One concern was that the other penguins would reject Pierre in his new suit, but in fact, they accepted his new look. He swam freely and got along with others well, although he was the only penguin with a black stomach.

Schaller couldn’t say for sure whether the wetsuit allowed Pierre to recover his fine feathers, but “certainly we were able to keep him comfortable during a period of time that would have been very difficult for him to stay comfortable”.

Pierre will take off his suit after his new feathers grow back.

56. Pierre felt too cold to swim in the pool because of _____.

A. not having a layer of blubber

B. having few feathers due to old age

C. having no wetsuit

D. others penguins rejecting him

57. The idea of making a wetsuit for Pierre came from _____.

A. total invention

B. waterproof feathers

C. the use of wetsuit on humans

D. the use of heat lamp

58. Schaller followed Pierre in order to see _____.

A. whether other penguins would reject him

B. if anywhere of wetsuit needed to be cut and refit

C. if the wetsuit kept warm

D. whether the wetsuit would keep the feathers from recovering

Several ti mes my daughter had telephoned to say, “Mum, you must come and see the daffodils （水仙花）before they are over.” I wanted to go, but it was a two-hour drive from Lake Arrowhead. “I will go next Tuesday,” I promised, a little unwillingly, on her third call.

The next Tuesday dawned cold and rainy. Still, I had promised, and so I drove there. When I finally walked into Carolyn’s house and hugged and greeted my grandchildren, I said, “Forget the daffodils, Carolyn! The road is invisible （看不见的）in the cloud and fog, and there is nothing in the world except you and these children that I want to see!”

My daughter smiled calmly and said, “We drive in this weather all the time, Mum. Y ou will never forgive yourself if you miss this experience.”

After about twenty minutes, we turned onto a small road and I saw a small church. On the far side of the church, I saw a hand-lettered sign that read “Daffodil Garden”.

We got out of the car and each took a child’s hand, and I followed Carolyn down the path. Then, we turned a corner of the path, and I looked up and gasped. Before me lay the most beautiful sight! There were five acres of flowers! “But who has done this?” I asked Carolyn. “It’s just one woman,” Carolyn answered. “That’s her home,” Carolyn pointed to a we ll-kept A-frame house that looked small and modest in the midst of all that glory. We walked up to the house. On the patio （庭院）, we saw a poster. “Answers to the Questions I Know Y ou Are Asking” was the headline.

The first answer was a simple one. “50,000 bulbs （鳞茎）,” it read. The second answer was, “One at a time, by one woman.” The third answer was, “Began in 1958.”

I thought of this woman whom I had never met, who, more than fifty years before, had begun -- one bulb at a time -- to bring the beauty and joy to the mountain top.59. The author didn’t go to see the daffodils at first because _________.

A. she was not interested in them

B. they were growing on the mountain top

C. the weather was not good enough

D. it was not easy for her to drive there

60. What do we know about the woman living in the A-frame house?

A. She must be out of mind.

B. She acted as a gardener there.

C. It took her great determination to grow the daffodils.

D. She was poor and made her living by selling daffodils.

61. What could the author probably learn from this experience?

A. Nothing is too difficult if you put your heart into it.

B. We must put the interests of others above our own.

C. We can change the world by growing flowers.

D. It’s never too late to learn.

62. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. An Unforgettable Experience.

B. Beautiful Daffodils.

C. One Bulb at a Time.

D. I Love Daffodils.

C

Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful conditions. Social support makes up of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.

Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support—money aid, material resources, and needed services — that reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.

63. Interpersonal relationships are important because they can ________________

A. make people live more easily

B. smooth away daily problems

C. deal with life changes

D. cure types of illnesses

. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word "cushions"?

A. takes place of

B. makes up of

C. lessens the effect of

D. gets rid of

65. Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work in spare time is an example of _____________.

A. instrumental support

B. informational support

C. social companionship

D. the strengthening of self-respect

66. What is the subject discussed in the text?

A. Interpersonal relationships.

B. Kinds of social support.

C. Ways to deal with stress.

D. Effects of stressful condition.

D

Every object tells a story. Even the most ordinary objects can present to us powerful images. Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of these objects that actually makes them so extraordinary. Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska. At first glance it does not look like much. It is a woman’s shoe of a style popular in the 10s. But what is unique(独特的) about this shoe is where it was found. It was discovered on the Checkout Pass, the famous trail used by the people seeking gold in Alaska. Who it belonged to or why it was left there is not known. Was it perhaps dropped by accident as the woman climbed up the 1500 stairs carved outface? Or did she throw away goods that she didn’t need in order to travel lighter?

Over 100, 000 people with “gold fever” made this trip hoping to become millionaires. Few of them understood that on their way they would have to cross a harsh wildness. Unprepared for such a dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure to the cold weather.

The Canadian government finally started requiring the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies with them. This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year. They would carry their supplies in backpacks(背包) each weighing up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips to get everything to the top and over the pass. Whoever dropped the shoe must have been a brave and determined woman. Perhaps she was successful and made it to Alaska. Perhaps she had to turn back in defeat. No one will ever know for sure, but what we do know is that she took part in one of the greatest adventures in the 19th century.

67. The ordinary woman’s leather shoe is considered unusual because ______.

A. it was an important clue to life in the past

B. it was found on a famous trail

C. it at one time belonged to a VIP

D. it was a fashionable shoe at that time

68. According to this passage, many people who went to Alaska ______.

A. eventually became millionaires

B. brought with them many shoes

C. had conflicts with the Eskimos

D. were not properly equipped

69. The Canadian government made gold seekers bring one year’s supplies with them so that ______.

A. they would not die of hunger and cold

B. the army would have enough food for fighting a war

C. they would change these goods with the Eskimos

D. the supplies would make Alaska rich

70. No matter what happened to the woman who owned the shoe, ______.

A. she must have lived a happy life

B. she certainly dropped the shoe on purpose

C. her adventurous spirit is definitely admired

D. her other shoes were equally fashionable

第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。

The earth’s ocean can reach depths of up to 11,000 metres. That is deep enough to cover Mount Qomolangma！Marine(海洋的)scientists divide the oceans into five zones. Each zone is differentmainly as a result of how much sunlight reaches it.

Most of the life in the ocean can be found in the first zone，which begins at the surface and goes down to about 200 metres. Because there is sunlight at this level，plants are able to grow. Marine animals such as dolphins，sharks，sea turtles and sea lions，and of course a variety of fish，live in the sunlight part of the ocean. It is difficult to hide from other animals in the area，but many species have adapted by becoming dark on the top and light on the bottom. This makes it hard to see them against the dark water below and the blue sky above.

The second starts at 200 metres and goes down to about 1,000 metres. Some sunlight can reach this level，but it is not enough for plants to grow. Because this zone is relatively dark，many of the creatures that live here are able to make light with their body. The light from these animals makes the water look like a sky with moving stars in it.

The third zone is dark. This place，about 3,000 metres deep，may not seem a likely habitat(栖息地)，but there are more creatures here than one might think. Most of the animals that live here are black or red because of the lack of light. At this depth，a slow shower of what looks like snow is falling. This phenomenon，called “marine snow”, is actually nutrients falling towards the bottom of the ocean. It is a source of food for the creatures that live in the deep.

Below 4,000 metres，the temperature is near freezing and there is no light at all. In fact，the zone is so dark and emp ty that scientists named this zone after the Greek word for “no bottom”．There is not much life to be found in this cold and unpleasant part. But some creatures manage to survive here despite high water pressure.

The very deepest part of the ocean is 2,000 metres further down. At t, his depth，the water pressure is extremely high and life is very difficult for the few creatures that live here. Compared to the other zones，this one has very little life. Since there is no light here，some animals don’t have eyes. When scientists explored the very deepest parts of the ocean，they did not expect to find any life at all. It turned out that there are creatures as far down as 10,000 metres. They usually survive by living close to deep sea vents, “chimneys” that send out gases from within the earth.

71.______ Conditions Life 75.______ How do the animals adapt？

Surface to 200 metres Sunlight，plants Marine animals and a variety of Fish Many species become dark on the top and light on the 78._______.

200-1,000 metres Not enough sunlight，relatively dark Many creatures Many creatures are able to make light with their body. They make the water look like a sky with moving 79._______.
