题型：不详难度：来源：
Blogs (博客) are the place where young people go to show their hearts, to express their anger, sorrow or disappointment, and even to gossip (说别人的闲话).
Many people enjoy the freedom in blogging. Some, however, find that putting one’s life online can have a price. The blogs of some students in America were stopped by the government for some time because they posted threatening words to their teachers on their blogs.
A recent study finds that nearly a fifth of teens who surf the Internet have their own blogs. And 38 % of teens say they read other people’s blogs. By comparison, about a tenth of adults have their own blogs and a quarter say they read other people’s online magazines.
With the development of the Internet, more and more people will be attracted by blogging.
In another study, 79% of teens agree that people at their age aren’t careful enough when giving out information about themselves online. Besides, careless blogging can also influence blog readers. When you are angry or unhappy, your blog is the first place you turn to. The words you post then may not be rational which you may regret later. To minimize (使减到最小) the negative influence, change the safety setting and make such posts “personal” so that only you can read them.
As long as you are careful with what you post, blogging is a great means of staying in touch with friends and displaying one’s creative works.

解析
试题分析：文章向我们讲述了博客这一新兴的网络场所的优点和缺点。
小题1:D 细节题。根据第一段where young people go to show their hearts, to express their anger, sorrow or disappointment, and even to gossip (说别人的闲话).说明博客是一个自由发表个人思想的地方，故D正确。
小题2:D 推理题。在第二段中提及了一些年轻人因为在博客里说来一些威胁老师的话，而被政府禁止，正是为了告诉在博客中也要注意自己的行为，不要影响别人和社会。故D正确。
小题3:D 猜测词义题。根据The words you post then may not be rational which you may regret later中的which you may regret later这些话以后你也许会后悔，说明这些话也许是不合理的，是冲动的时候说出来的，故rational指reasonable.故D正确。
小题4:C 主旨大意题。文章主要想我们讲述了博客的好处和坏处，在博客上我们可以自由的方便观点，但是我们也要注意自己的用词。不要说出一些不合理的话。故C正确。
点评：本文要抓住每一段的中心思想，理解不同的人的不同的观点，提高在语境中的推理能力。 |

Scientists are trying to make the deserts ,which get very little rain, into good land again. They want to bring water to the deserts，so people can live and grow food. They are learning a lot about the deserts. But more and more of the earth is becoming desert all the time. Scientists may not be able to change the desert in time．
Why is more and more land becoming desert？Scientists think that people make deserts．People are doing bad things to the earth against the scientists’ wish．
Some places on the earth don’t get much rain. But they still don’t become deserts．This is because some green plants are growing there．Small green plants and grass are very important to dry places．Plants don’t let the sun make the earth even drier． Plants do not let the wind blow the dirt away．When a bit of rain falls，the plants hold the water. Without plants, the land can become desert more easily．
小题1:Deserts ____________ ． | A．never have any plants or animals in them | | B．can all be turned into good land before long | | C．are becoming smaller and smaller | | D．get very little rain |
小题2:More and more land is becoming desert because____________． | A．plants can’t grow there | | B．there is not enough rain | | C．people haven’t done what scientists wish them to do | | D．scientists know little about the deserts |
小题3:Small green plants are very important to dry places because ________| A．they don’t let the sun make the earth even drier | | B．they don’t let the wind blow the soil away | | C．they hold water | | D．All of the above． |
小题4:After reading this passage, we learn that _____________ ． | A．plants can keep dry land from becoming desert | | B．it is good to get rid of the grass in the deserts | | C．all places without much rain will become deserts | | D．it is better to grow crops on dry land than to cut them |

We’ve heard about radiation from the damaged nuclear reactors in Japan reaching American shores. Experts say so far there is no reason to worry, and point out that we meet radiation every day. Where and how? NPR’s Renee Montagne posed that question to Peter Caracappa, a radiation safety officer and professor of nuclear engineering.
MONTAGNE: How many things emit radiation?
Dr CARACAPPA: Well, radiation and radioactive material is a part of nature. So everything that’s living has some amount of radiation coming from it—a very small amout. Plus there’s radiation in the ground and the air.
So the extremes are uranium in the soil to bananas?
Yes.
By the way, why do bananas have radiation?
Bananas have a lot of potassium(钾). And a small amount of potassium naturally is called potassium 40, which is radioactive
What’s the difference between radiation that’s harmful and not harmful?
Well, the term radiation can apply to a lot of different things. But the harmful radiation is ionizing(离子)radiation. It has enough energy that it can make chemical changes in material. We could get ionizing radiation from an X-ray, for example. It’s the kind of radiation that causes cancer.
The broader definition of radiation includes a lot of things that we call non-ionizing radiation. That includes everything like radio waves and visible light and your microwave.
So what then is the largest contributor of ionizing radiation?
For the natural sources of ionizing radiation, actually the biggest chunk of that tends to come from radon(氡), which is a radioactive material that is present in the air. It can become a concern when it builds up in low-lying areas of homes like basements.
Would it be fair to say that most people do not need to worry about the danger of being exposed to radiation?
I would say that the everyday exposure to radioation that we meet contributes an extremely tiny risk to our life or to our health compared to all of the other risks that we meet in our day-to-day life.
小题1:We can infer from the first paragraph that radiation is______.| A．rare | B．powerful | C．dangerous | D．common |
小题2:The passage may be _______.| A．an interview | B．an argument | C．a talk show program | D．a science report |
小题3:Whether radiation is harmful or not depends on______.| A．whether it has a small amount of potassium | | B．whether it changes chemical in materials. | | C．whether it has energy to change materials | | D．whether it is visible in life |
小题4:The purpose of writing this passage is to _______.| A．advise on how to protect us from radiation | | B．analyze what causes radiation in daily life | | C．warn people of the danger of radiation | | D．expect people not to fear everyday radiation |

Joker found one of the biggest diamonds in the world right in his own back yard. He sold the stone to a diamond dealer for over three hundred thousand dollars. In New York, the diamond was resold---this time for almost eight hundred thousand dollars. The true value of a diamond is never known until it has been cut. Once cut successfully, its value can increase a thousand times. It"s easy to understand why the owner of Joker"s diamond went to the best diamond cutter he knew, Kaplan. The cutter studied the diamond for twelve whole months.

Six months passed, and Kaplan finally said to the owner, “I am ready to start my work. There will be one excellent diamond that will be comparable one excellent diamond of first-class quality (质量) " Kaplan waited a few more days until he felt he was in the best physical and mental (精神的) condition(条件) possible.

Welcome to your future life!
You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age !
You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change your clothes’ color or pattern.
You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says, “You shouldn’t drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk , and it knows the milk is old . In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.
It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve(袖子). Such “smart technology” is all around you.

I spent two months with an American family last year when I studied in America．It is said that “The best house is in the U.S.A．， the best wife is in Japan and the best food is in China．”So I took 36 and pleasure to 37 “the best food” for my American family．Each day，regardless of my poor skill of cooking，I performed my play in 38 way：changing the dishes’colour，the meat’s type or the soup’s style．Thus，my American friends could discover the 39 of eating Chinese food． Because of my“ 40 ” job，I was often rewarded by their 41 of appreciation , such as “very tasty”，“excellent”etc．But the joke was here： yesterday， I cooked Sichuan－style 42 for dinner．I was 43 at my achievement．When all the family members arrived at the table，they first looked 44 at the fish，then looked at me． “Why do all the fish have their 45 ？” they asked，“It’s horrible！” Horrible or beautiful？ I don’t know． But I 46 know that fish heads are delicious. The 47 is the best part of fish； in 48 only the respectable guest can have the special 49 of enjoying it． Another 50 thing is：the American friends often said to me“ 51 ”as they 52 fruits or other things． According to Chinese tradition，I would simply smile in answer to their kindness 53 actually helping myself to any of the food. 54 ，I said “help yourself” to them whenever I brought home fruits．Dear me，no matter how much or how often I brought home food， as long as it was nice to their taste，they 55 hesitated to use their hands to “help themselves” until all was finished．
