语文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。      Most students do an IQ text early in their school career. Even if they never see their results, they feel
that their IQ is   1 determines how well they are going to do in life. When they see other students doing    2     (good) than them, they usually believe that those students have   3   higher IQ and   4    there
is nothing they can do to change facts. However, new research   5    EQ suggests that success is not
simply the result of a high IQ.
    While your IQ tells you how   6   (intelligence) you are, your EQ tells you how well you use your
intelligence. Professor Salovery,   7    invented the term EQ, gives the following description: At work, it
is IQ that   8    (get) you promoted. Supported by his academic research, Professor Salovery suggests
that when someone"s future success    9    (predict), their character,   10     measured by EQ tests, might
actually matter more than their IQ.

阅读理解。     Guandong province all together chose universities in Hong Kong; when the very best student of
Beijing picked up HK University while giving up the nearby Peking or Tsinghua University; when the
highest enrollment (录取) rate of Hong Kong Science and Industry University reached 48:1, it"s the high
time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is.
     Years ago, the answer certainly would be "Peking or Tsinghua University". But now no one could give
the exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an
unusual attraction to a great many mainland students.
     It"s no doubt to call this HK craz e(狂热), which is even out of the expectation of those HK
universities themselves.
     How can HK universities shake the steady foundations of Peking and Tsinghua and attract so many
mainland students?
     First, Hong Kong universities offer large-amount scholarship, especially for the top students who can
receive the sum of scholarship as much as 400,000 HK dollars. Since higher education has become a
kind of heavy burden of many families, it"s easy to understand why the reaction to the generous offering
of HK universities is great.
     Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out
bilingual (双语) education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is another attraction for mainland
students.
     Further more, university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as exchange
students.
     Can mainland top universities like Peking or Tsinghua University calm as before when facing the
unexpected competition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who
once help them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it.
     The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of
education in China. After the awakening and action taking of mainland universities, they can perform
better together with HK universities.
     At least, it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees(学费)are among students" top concern
when they are choosing universities. It"s time to move. 1. What is the passage mainly talking about? A. Some thought brought by the enrollment of HK universities.
B. Higher education in Hong Kong.
C. The competition between HK University and Peking University.
D. The fall of mainland universities. 2. Top students from mainland apply for HK universities because ________. A. many students now would love to study aboard to get a better experience
B. they concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universities
C. HK universities offer higher scholarship, better environment and more opportunities for
     their further study
D. Peking university has lost its worldwide reputation 3. What is the author"s attitude toward the competition brought by HK universities? A. The government should take relevant measures to stop this unfair competition.
B. Mainland universities had better lower their tuition fees and win back the top students.
C. Universities both in mainland and in HK would get an entire improvement during the competition.
D. It may probably cause a complete loss both sides in the end. 4. From the passage we can see HK universities __________. A. didn"t mean to enroll top students from mainland
B. didn"t expect their enrollment of mainland students would be so popular
C. have strict enrollment rules and only 1 out of 48 students can get the chance to study there
D. are proud of their teaching staff and facilities 5. What does the author mean by saying "It"s time to move" in the last paragraph? A. Mainland universities should take measures as soon as possible to attract students.
B. The opportunities come for top students to study abroad.
C. Mainland universities should make full preparations to challenge mainland universities.
D. Top students should be offered further education free of charge.

阅读理解。     It is hard to track the blue whale, the ocean"s largest creature, which has almost been killed off by
commercial whaling and is now listed as an endangered species. Attaching radio devices to it is difficult,
and visual sightings are too unreliable to give real insight into its behavior.
     So biologists were delighted early this year when, with the help of the Navy, they were able to track a
particular blue whale for 43 days, monitoring its sounds. This was possible because of the Navy"s formerly top-secret system of underwater listening devices spanning the oceans.
     Tracking whales is but one example of an exciting new world just opening to civilian scientists after the cold war as the Navy starts to share and partly uncover its global network of underwater listening system
built over the decades to track the ships of potential enemies.
     Earth scientists announced at a news conference recently that they had used the system for closely
monitoring a deep-sea volcanic eruption (爆发) for the first time and that they plan similar studies.
     Other scientists have proposed to use the network for tracking ocean currents and measuring changes
in ocean and global temperatures.
     The speed of sound in water is roughly one mile a second-slower than through land but faster than
through air. What is most important, different layers of ocean water can act as channels for sounds,
focusing them in the same way a stethoscope (听诊器) does when it carries faint noises from a patient"s
chest to a doctor"s ear. This focusing is the main reason that even relatively weak sounds in the ocean,
especially low-frequency ones, can often travel thousands of miles.1. The passage is chiefly about ____ . A. an effort to protect an endangered marine species
B. the civilian use of a military detection system
C. the exposure of a U.S. Navy top-secret weapon
D. a new way to look into the behavior of blue whales 2. The underwater listening system was originally designed ____ . A. to trace and locate enemy vessels
B. to monitor deep-sea volcanic eruptions
C. to study the movement of ocean currents
D. to replace the global radio communications network 3. The deep-sea listening system makes use of ____. A. the sophisticated technology of focusing sounds under water
B. the capability of sound to travel at high speed
C. the unique property of layers of ocean water in transmitting sound
D. low-frequency sounds traveling across different layers of water____ 4. It can be inferred from the passage that____. A. new radio devices should be developed for tracking the endangered blue whales
B. blue whales are no longer endangered with the use of the new listening system
C. opinions differ as to whether civilian scientists should be allowed to use military technology
D. military technology has great potential in civilian use 5. Which of the following is true about the U.S. Navy underwater listening network? A. It is now partly accessible to civilian scientists.
B. It has been replaced by a more advanced system.
C. It became useless to the military after the cold war.
D. It is indispensable in protecting endangered species.

阅读理解。     Believe it or not, in the near future people won"t just wear a chicken feather suit at Halloween or for
fancy dress. Chickens, which have long provided food for dinner, will also be used to make our clothes
as well. Last Monday, a report by the University of Nebraska in the US said in the future it should be
possible to use chicken feathers and rice straw to make clothes.
     "All those wasted agriculture products don"t have to be wasted anymore," researcher Yiqi Yang said.
New technology will change these by-products into something similar to wool, linen, or cotton. Because
producing synthetic fabrics (合成纤维) causes pollution, scientists wanted to find a cheaper and
environmentally friendly replacement. They turned their eyes to the millions of tons of rice straw and
chicken feathers that are widely and cheaply available worldwide. Moreover they don"t cause pollution
like petroleum-based fibers (石油合成纤维).
     Chicken feathers are mostly made up of the same kind of protein found in wool. A sweater made
from chicken feathers would feel just like a wool sweater. It would be lighter in weight and warmer, too.
      According to Yang and his team, rice straw, on the other hand, can produce a fabric that looks and
feels similar to cotton or linen. The process is also environmentally friendly. The total production cost of
rice fiber is about 50 cents per pound, while cotton now sells for about 60 cents a pound.
     Maybe some day in the future you will wear fabulous clothes like these.1. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. In the past, chicken feathers and rice straw were not very cheaply available.
B. At present, chicken feathers and rice straw are useless for producing synthetic fabrics.
C.The environmentally friendly products will take the place of the non-environmentally friendly ones.
D. Scientists have not made any progress in the environmentally friendly products. 2. What are the main advantage of the new clothes made of chicken feathers and rice straw? A. They are mostly made up of the same kind of protein found in wool.
B. The clothes will be widely used in every field in our daily life.
C. The process of producing the clothes does not cheap at all.
D. A sweater made of the new clothes would be lighter in weight and warmer.3. The underlined part "fabulous" in the last Paragraph probably means "        ".A. heavy
B. incredible
C. awful
D. ridiculous

阅读理解。     Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it"s not fair to other people, like
the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.
     Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right
answers on the test. But it doesn"t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won"t help on the
next test -unless the person cheats again.
     Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad
because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will
be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.
     Some kids cheat because they"re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the
time studying. Other kids might feel like they can"t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems
to be a "good reason" for cheating, cheating isn"t a good idea.
     If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn"t study, it would be better to
talk with the teacher about this. And if you don"t have enough time to study for a test because of swim
practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.
     A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her
parents so they can find some solutions(解决办法) together. Talking about these problems and working
them out will feel better than cheating.1.The author thinks that when kids cheat in class,______.A. it is unfair to other people
B. it does harm to their heath
C. teachers should punish them
D. teachers shouldn"t stop them at once2. Some students like cheating mainly because_______.A. the material in the test is very difficult
B. they want to do better than the others
C. cheating can make hard things seem very easy
D. they have little time to study their lessons3.The fourth paragraph mainly tells us______.A. cheating isn"t a good idea
B. why kids cheat in the test
C. some kids can"t pass the test without cheating
D. some kids don"t spend the time studying4. In the passage those cheaters are advised to_______.A. spend more time on school than on sports
B. find good solutions instead of cheating
C. try hard to be intelligent rather than lazy
D. ask their classmates for good methods of study

阅读理解。     For more than twenty years scientists have been searching for signs of life on other planets. Most of
these searches have been done over the radio. The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to
get in touch with us. Scientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships traveling
through space, on the chance that someone may be receptive (善于接受的) to such messages.
     Scientists are using powerful radio telescope to listen to signals from about 1,000 stars, all within 100
light years of earth. In addition, they will scan (扫视) the entire sky to "listen" for radio messages from
more distant stars. Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at one time.
Scientists are looking for any signal that stands out from the background noise.
     Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy (银河星系), scientists find that five percent are like
our sun. Perhaps half of them have a planet like earth. Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from
the star for temperatures to be right for the evolution of life. Based on the inhabitable (that can be lived in) planets in our galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets
support some life.
     However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent (有智力的) life exists on other planets. Some
believe that twenty years of searching without any intelligible (可理解的) messages shows that no one is
out there. They say that the evolution of intelligence comparable to ours is unlikely.
     Other scientists believe that our search hasn"t been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent
life exists in our galaxy. Although our sun family in only about five billion years old, our galaxy is about 20
billions years old. In that time, some scientists think it is likely that civilizations are much more advanced
than ours. Perhaps these civilizations (文明) send us no signals; perhaps we have not recognized the
signals they have sent us. If we hope to find intelligent life, these scientists believe that we have to keep
looking.1. According to the passage, how many planets in our galaxy might be inhabitable?A. 5 billion
B. 10 billion
C. 15 billion
D. 200 billion2. The first paragraph in this passage is mainly about ______. A. how scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
B. why scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
C. where scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
D. when scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets3. The underlined word "monitor" in the passage means "______".A. find
B. follow
C. check
D. form4. Which of the statements is TRUE based on the information in the passage?A. The earth is one of the oldest planets in our galaxy.
B. Most scientists believe that there is intelligent life on other planet.
C. Scientists are trying different ways to find signs of life on other planet.
D. Scientists don"t believe that there might be life on other planets.
