8.Finland is perhaps the most beautiful and mysterious(神秘的)of the countries of northern Europe.Two-thirds of its surface is covered with thick forests and among them lie lakes,connected with rivers and canals.The northern part of this country is inside the Arctic Circle(北极圈),where almost no trees can grow because of its cold weather and the people use their deer for transport,clothing and food.
The Finnish history began in the Middle Ages.In about 1155,Finland was conquered by its western neighboring Sweden.After a period of rule by Denmark in the 14th century,the Swedes won back independence and power in 1523under their brave king.During the Napoleonic Wars (1814-1818)Finland was passed finally from Sweden to Russia.The opportunity came in 1917.when the Russian Revolution brought foreign rule of Finland to an end.Shortly after Soviet Russia made peace with Germany,1919saw the founding of the Finnish Republic.
The years between the First and Second World Wars were years of progress and growing development.Finland has no coal or oil,and the nation's wealth lies in the timber (木材) from its forests,which supplies material for paper and furniture making,and in the electric power from its water.
39.From the passage,we learn that FinlandC.
A.lies inside the Arctic Circle      
 B.is next to the countries of northern Europe
C.lies east of Sweden             
D.is entirely covered with forests and lakes

D.foreign countries
42.Finland won its complete independence inD.
A.1523

C.1155   
D.1919.

分析 本文主要讲述了北欧国家--芬兰,芬兰有着丰富的森林和水资源,没有煤和石油,主要是靠森林来生产纸和制造家具以及水力发电.

解答 39-42CBAD
39.C  推理判断题  根据The northern part of this country is inside the Arctic Circle可知芬兰的北部在北极圈内,而并非全部,因此A项错误;根据Finland is perhaps the most beautiful and mysterious(神秘的)of the countries of northern Europe可知芬兰是北欧的国家,而不是靠近北欧的国家,B项错误;根据where almost no trees can grow because of its cold weather and the people use their deer for transport,clothing and food.可知在北极圈由于寒冷,几乎没有树木,故D项不符合事实;从文中的"Finland was conquered by its western neighboring Sweden"可推断C项正确.
40.B  细节理解题   根据In about 1155,Finland was conquered by its western neighbouring Sweden.After a period of rule by Denmark in the 14th century,the Swedes won back independence and power in 1523 under their brave king,可知芬兰在大约1151年被邻国瑞典征服;在14世纪时受丹麦统治;1523年瑞典再次统治芬兰;在拿破仑战争期间,芬兰的统治权最后从瑞典过渡给俄国,苏俄成立后不久即1919年芬兰独立.故选项B正确.
41.A  细节理解题  根据During the Napoleonic Wars (1814-1818)Finland was passed finally from Sweden to Russia.The opportunity came in 1917.Shortly after Soviet Russia made peace with Germany,1919 saw the founding of the Finnish Republic.可知俄国在(1814-1818)拿破仑战争期间开始统治芬兰,到1919年芬兰成为独立的国家,俄国对芬兰的统治长达100年,故选项A正确.
42.D  细节理解题   文中的"…1919 saw the founding of the Finnish Republic"这句话意思是1919年芬兰共和国成立,因此D项正确.

13.Six years ago at the age of 35,I suddenly decided I wanted to learn the cello(大提琴).Straight away I rented an instrument and appeared before Wendell Margrave,professor of musical instruction.
"You can be as good as you want to be,"Margrave said rather mysteriously.On a piece of paper he drew the notes E and F.He showed me where to put my fingers on the neck of the cello and how to draw the bow.Then he entered my name in his book:10am,Tuesday.Tuesday followed Tuesday,and soon it was spring.
Thus began my voyage out of ignorance and into the dream.E-F,E-F,we played together-and moved on to G.It was a happy time.I was again becoming something new,and no longer trapped as the same person.Surely the most terrible recognition of middle life is that we are past changing.We dowhat we can already do.The cello was something I couldn't do.Yet each Tuesday this became less and less true.Riding home on the bus one snowy night and learning the score of Mozart's C-Major Quintet(莫扎特的C大调五重奏),I felt the page burst into music in my hands.I could by ten more or less read a score,and was humming(哼唱)the cello line,when suddenly all five parts came together harmonically(和谐地) in my head.The fellowsitting opposite stared.I met his glance with tears,actually hearing the music in my head for the first time.Could he hear it too,perhaps?No,he got off at the next stop.As the years slipped by,my daughter grew up,playing the piano well.My goal was that she and I would one day perform together.I also wanted to perform in public with and for my peers,and to be secretly envied.I continued to play,to perform,but it is not the same.Before,when I heard a cello,it was all beauty and light.Now,as the TV camera gets close to Rostropovich's face,I recognize that his smile shows his incredible determination.Even for him,the cello is a difficult instrument that doesn't respect your ambitions.I picked up my cello and practiced.As good as I wanted to be,I am as good as I'm going to get.It is good enough.

7.From the first two paragraphs,we can learn thatB.
A.the author already knew some cello basics
B.the author went to a cello lesson every Tuesday
C.the author bought a cello after he decided to learn it
D.Wendell Margrave was a famous but mysterious professor
8.The author writes that"it was a happy time"in Paragraph 3 mainly becauseD.
A.he felt very bored with his new life
B.it was beautiful to be able to hear the music in his mind
C.Professor Margrave made learning the cello very easy for him
D.he enjoyed the feelings of growth and getting closer to his dream
9.From the last paragraph,it can be inferred that the authorC.
A.put on shows with his daughter
B.was determined to catch up with Rostropovich
C.is happy to have kept up his personal development
D.was confident that his peers would envy him for his cello playing ability
10.The purpose of the article is mainly toD.
A.show his deep gratitude to his cello tutor
B.advise readers on how to improve their cello skills
C.describe his incredible efforts to overcome difficulties
D.encourage readers that it's never too late to pursue their dreams.

Much meaning can be conveyed clearly with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.

1.In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not for too long. And if he sensed that you are staring at him, he may feel uncomfortable.

The same is true in our daily life. If you are stared at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. 2.. Eyes do speak, right?

Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive.3.. If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to look away from her, his intentions are obvious. He wishes to attract her attention, and let her know that he is admiring her.

However, when two persons are engaged in a conversation, the speaker will only look into the listener’s eyes from time to time to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking.4.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking as if he trying to control you, you will feel awkward. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim. He wrongly believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. 5.

Actually, eye contact should be made based on specific relationship and situation.

A. On the contrary, it will give him away.

B. Do you have such a kind of experience?

C. That’s what normal eye contact is all about.

D. Actually, continuous eye contact is limited to lovers only.

E. After all, everybody likes to be stared at for quite a long time.

F. But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex.

G. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel annoyed at being stared at that way.

As a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back then it was almost unheard of for a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in 2001, when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time, I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.

In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn’t believe it. Inspired by this, I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.

On June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn’t frightened—I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute(降落伞), then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it.

Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are 84 years old. If there’s something you want to experience, look into it. If it’s something that is possible, make it happen.

1.The author mentioned George Bush Sr. in her essay to ________.

A. make her argument persuasive B. show her admiration for him

C. compare their health condition D. build up her own reputation

2.How did the author feel immediately after she jumped out of the plane?

A. Excited. B. Regretful.

C. Nervous. D. Scared.

3.What did the author enjoy most when she was skydiving?

A. The beautiful clouds. B. The wonderful view.

C. The company of Jay. D. The one-minute free fall.

4.What is the best title of the passage?

A. Impossible is nothing B. A dream made come true

C. An unforgettable skydiving D. I Went Skydiving at 84!

Hamlet is the most (37)performed of William Shakespeare's plays.While you read this article,somewhere there is an actor on a stage pouring out his heart to the audience.
The character of Hamlet has a personal,painful quality that still draws readers and playgoers today as it did 400years ago.The problems he faces,such as what is (38)happeningand how he should respond to events,are ones we all face in our lives.
Hamlet is the young prince of Denmark.At the beginning,he is sad about his dead father.Everyone else around him is(39)celebrating the marriage of his mother Gertrude to her brother-in-law Claudius,the new king.Hamlet thinks that the short time between the death of his father and the marriage of his mother and uncle is (40)disrespectful.
Hamlet is told that a spirit has been walking around Elsinore castle.He meets it and it says that his father was killed,and by his brother Claudius-----it was"murder most horrid (可怕的)"!Now,the ghost instructs him,it is his (41)duty to avenge (报仇).
Hamlet is in a terrible position.He does not know whether the ghost is who he says he is,or a being sent by the devil (魔鬼).Matters are (42)complicated because Claudius is suspicious of his nephew.There is a cat-and-mouse game played between the king and Hamlet.
Hamlet has a play performed for the king which stages the way the ghost told him of his father's murder.Claudius reacts with horror,proving to hamlet that he is (43)guilty.But Hamlet misses the opportunity to take his revenge.
He tells Gertrude he hates her (44)marriage to Claudius.During their meeting he kills Polonius,who is the father of his love,Ophelia.Then,Lacerates comes back to the court.He's heard that his father,Polonius,has been killed,so he wants to kill Hamlet.
Cunning (奸诈的) Claudius attempts to play Lacerates and Hamlet against each other,and in the final scene it all goes horribly wrong.
One(45)famous speech in the play begins"to be or not to be":it is about how Hamlet can't decide whether to get out of his bad situation by killing himself.Hamlet is a thinking man.One who thinks too much in the world where others,like Claudius,show no (46)hesitation.

Spider monkeys have long, thin arms with hooklike hands that allow them to swing through the trees. They do not have opposable thumbs(对生拇指).

The brown-headed spider monkey has a prehensile(缠绕性的)tail, which means it can grasp and can be used like a fifth leg to grab trees. During the day, the spider monkey searches for fruits, which make up the main part of its diet. They will also eat flowers, seeds, leaves, and small insects during the dry season when fruits aren’t available. They spend most of the daylight hours climbing and swinging through the high branches of trees.

The brown-headed spider monkey lives in a large community of about 20 to 100 male and female monkeys. They split into smaller groups for feeding. Females usually give birth to only a single baby each year or two. Young monkeys are carried on their mothers’ stomachs until about 16 weeks old. Then they are strong enough to ride on their mothers’ backs. All brown-headed spider monkey babies are born with a pink face and ears.

Spider monkeys hug each other and wrap their tails around each other. They are very intelligent and have strong memories. They were named spider monkeys because they look like spiders as they hang upside down from their tails with arms and legs swinging. Their genus (属)name is Ateles, which means “imperfect”. This refers to the fact that they don’t have thumbs.

Hunting the brown-headed spider monkey is now barred in Ecuador, a country in northwestern South America, but humans have killed them for their meat for hundreds of years.

1.Spider monkeys live mostly on ________.

A. insects B. fruits

C. flowers D. leaves

2.What can we learn about spider monkeys?

A. They have five legs

B. They live in small groups

C. Their tails can take their weight

D. Their genus is the same as spiders’

3.What does the underlined word “barred” in the best paragraph refer to?

A. Permitted B. Forbidden

C. Encouraged D. Ignored

4.Where do newly-born spider monkeys stay?

A. In a large community

B. In trees with high branches

C. On their mothers’ backs

D. On their mothers’ stomachs
