阅读下面短文,根据第73至第75小题的具体要求,简要回答问题。

Every January, Breckenridge hosts the International Show Sculpture Championships. Fourteen teams travel from all over the world to

Switzerland to compete. Teams sculpt for sixty-five hours over five days. Each team hopes that when the time is up, its sculpture will be judged the best

As the championship begins, the fourteen teams are faced with huge blocks of snow that weigh twenty tons each. The sculptors bring out their

vorite tools that work best on the hard iced snow, but they are not allowed to employ tools that use electricity.

Most teams are inspired by what they have seen in daily life. For example, one team carved a teapot with tea pouring out. Another team sculpted a little cat on its hind feed(后脚) reaching into a fish bowl complete with water ripples(涟漪) and a crab(螃蟹) trying to attack the cat. In 2006, Team USA sculpted a golden dog looking at its image reflected in a mirror. To create the effect that the little dog saw its reflection in the glass, the artists carved two dogs facing each other with their paws (脚爪) touching.

As the final hours of the competition tick by, exhausted team members add last-minute details. They use small brooms to brush off snow caught in tiny holes. One team member counts down the last five minutes while others are busy cleaning up the tools. If they leave any tools behind, they will be out. When the whistle blows, everyone must step away from the sculpture. The judges then vote on creativity, technical skill, and visual impact(视觉效果) of the designs

In 2006, Team USA took firs place for their golden dog sculpture titled “Discovery”。 But the competition is not just about medals and ribbon. “It‘s not about the prize,” said Rob Neyland, Team USA’s captain. “It‘s about touching the audience.”

Every year, as the championship ends, each team is already dreaming of the next masterpiece it will design.

What kind of tools are the sculptures NOT permitted to use? (回答词数不超过6个)

What gives the sculptors ideas for their creative work? (回答词数不超过9个)

Why did Team USA win the competition in 2006? (回答词数不超过15个)

                                               

【小题1】The tools that use electricity

【小题2】The things they have seen in daily life.

【小题3】Because its sculpture was judged the best for creativity, technical skills and visual impact.


解析:

【小题1】根据第二段中的The sculptors bring out their favorite tools that work best on the hard iced snow, but they are not allowed to employ

tools that use electricity.可知答案。其中的关键信息是they are not allowed to employ tools that use electricity,但由于答题要求规定答案不能超过6

个词,所以用The tools that use electricity.

【小题2】根据第三段第一句话Most teams are inspired by what they have seen in daily life可知答案,其中最关键的信息是what they have seen in daily life.考虑到该信息中的what与问句中的what重复,将故what they have seen in daily life中的what改为与之同义的the things.

【小题3】根据第四段最后一句话The judges then vote on creativity, technical skill, and visual impact(视觉效果) of the designs可知,裁判评判的标准是看其creativity, technical skill, and visual impact(视觉效果),而美国队在2006年的比赛中获得了冠军,这说明其作品在creativity, technical skill, and visual impact这几个方面一定是最好的(the best)。

Their round bodies, round flat noses and large ears often remind us of bears every time we see koalas. Probably that’s why these animals are often referred to as koala bears. Koalas are natives of Australia. However, they aren’t found all over the continent. The habitat of koala bears spans (横越) over eastern regions of Australia that include states like Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria and also in the state of South Australia.

   Koalas are found where are enough forests of eucalyptus(桉树) trees. The association of koalas and eucalyptus trees is due to the fact that these animals feed on the leaves of eucalyptus trees. But that’s not all. In addition, the trees also serve as the homes of the koalas.

   Koalas grow around 27 to 36 inches tall and weigh 5 to 9 kilograms on average. Male kaolas are larger than the females. Life expectancy can stretch up to 17 years.

NUNCHAKU (《双截棍》) is one of Taiwanese pop star Jay Chou's most popular songs. In the upcoming Hollywood movie The Green Hornet (《青蜂侠》), Jay Chou will use nunchaku to fight crimes. He will play the role of Kato, which his idol Bruce Lee (李小龙) played in the 1960s' TV series.

In The Green Hornet, Kato is a martial arts master. He drives a special car called Black Beauty for his friend Britt Reid. They fight crimes with martial arts and weapons to make the society peaceful.

Jay Chou entered the movie business as the lead actor in Initial D (《头文字D》) in 2005. He won Best Newcomer at the Golden Horse Awards. After that, Jay's performing talent has made him even more famous. In his self-directed movie A Secret That Can't Be Told (《不能说的秘密》), Jay starred as a talented high school student who plays the piano. This movie has won him more die-hard fans.

However, Jay isn't satisfied. He once said: “I won't be Bruce Lee's Kato – I will bring my own understanding. It's a dream role, and I'm looking forward to the challenge.”

第二节 回答问题(共3小题;每小题2分,满分6分)阅读下面短文,根据第58至第60小题的具体要求,简要回答问题。

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.

    When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.

    If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault.

    Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.

    So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering.

58. If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, what will happen ? (不超过5个单词)

阅读下面短文,根据第58至第60小题的具体要求,简要回答问题,并将答案转写到答题卡上。

In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. But how do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities(品质) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability(可靠).

Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He puts himself in the other person’s place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.

At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults(过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.

Sometimes you will meet “fair weather friends”. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. So, I think another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on(信赖) a good friend. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.

There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. A good friend likes the same things I like. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.

When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I’ve found a friend!

Do you have a goal for life? What's it? Do you want to become a writer, singer or just become a rich person?

A recent survey shows that in modern society, most people pick up practical goals, such as “earning money to buy a house and a car”, “to improve one's life quality”, “finding a good job”.

Wang You worked in a small firm (商行) in Nanjing. The job was good and he didn't have to work for extra hours. However, he felt the work was not exciting at all and the life was boring. So he gave up his job and went to Beijing in February, 2007. When he arrived in Beijing, he set his new goal as finding a good job.

Nowadays more and more people want to live a better life. This fact shows that the society is making progress and people's life goals have become more practical. One researcher says, “Everybody has his/her own life goal, which will be surely different from people to people. If one is poor, one's life goal will be to earn more money; if one doesn't have a diploma, studying hard to get a diploma will become his life goal; and if one doesn't have love, his life goal will be to look for it. But if one has no life goal, he will idle away (虚度) his lifetime. {007}”
