三、阅读理解（共14小题；每小题2分，满分28分）

A

My name is Tony Fontes.I am a native Californian.In 1979 I went diving at the Great Barrier Reef for the first time.I was so amazed by the experience that I decided to stay in Alastralia. For the past 42 years, I have lived at Airlie Beach. It's a small seaside community in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef.

As a dive instructor（教练），I spend much of my time underwater.Through careful observation，I have noted heartbreaking changes in the environment. One of them is the increase in coral bleaching（珊瑚白化）.This serious problem happens when the green and brown coral reefs（礁）lose their colors and turn white. In the early 1980s， bleaching was not a serious problem. By the mid-1990s, it was happening each summer. The late 1990s and early 2000s brought some of the largest bleaching events on record. You could even see the tleached coral from the air. Unlike before, these more recent bleaching events have resulted in the death of the coral.

Coral bleaching and many other dangerous changes are being caused by climate change, especially global warming. It often takes ten years for a coral reef to fully recover. However, more bleaching events are taking place each year. It's hard to say whether the bleached coral will ever recover.If the world's coral reefs are to survive, we must keep the global increase in ocean temperature below two degrees Celsius. We need to reduce our emissions（排放） of carbon dioxide and pay more attention to the health of our oceans.All of us can do somethiing to save the coral. Take action now. It's going to be hard to explain to our kids how we lost the beautiful Great Barrier.

23.The underlined word“heartbreaking”can be replaced（代替）by______.

 A.very sad    B.very incrusting

C. very exciting  D. very important

24. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?

A.The increase in coral bleaching. B.The cause of coral bleaching.

C.The changes in the environment. D.The beauty of coral bleaching.

25.What does the writer mainly want to say?

 A.It is difficult for us to save the coral.

B.It is important for us to save the coral.

C.It is impossible for us to improve the situation.

D.It is dangerous for us to live on the Earth.

Last August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter,Maureen. With a checklist of criteria（衡量标准，尺度）in hand，the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They looked for a university that offered the teenager intended major（主修科目）， one located near a large city， and a campus（大学校园）where their daughter would be safe.

“The safety problem is a big one,”says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasn't alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar worries, and the same question was always asked: What about crime? But when college officials always gave the same answer—"That's not a problem here.”—Mahoney began to feel uneasy.

“No crime whatsoever?”comments（评论）Mahoney teday.“I just don't believe it.”In 1999 the U.S.Department of Education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on oraround our campuses.“Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to college,”says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus.“Campus crime mirrors （反映）the rest of the country.”

But getting exact information isn't easy. Colleges must report crime statistics（统计数字）by law， but some hold back for fear of bad publicity（名声），leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. "The truth may not always be serious."warns S.Daniel Carter of Security on Campus，Ine.，the country's leading campus safety watchdog（监视） group.

To help concerned（关注的）parents，Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime problems and effective solutions（解决方法）.

26 The Mahoneys visited quite a few colleges last August_________.

1. to express the opinions of many parents

B.to choose a right one for their daughter

C.to check the cost of college education

D.to find a right one near a large city

27 It is often difficult to get correct information on campus crime because some colleges__________.

A.receive too many visitors

B.mirror the rest of the country

C.hide the truth of campus crime

D.have too many watchdog groups 

28.What is the text mainly about?

A.Exact campus crime statistics.

B.Crimes on or around campuses.

C.Effective solutions to campus crime.

 D.Concerns about kids'campus safety.

Octopuses（章鱼）are kind of like aliens. They are amazing in many ways. They have three hearts. They can walk. They can swim, and they can drive themselves forward at high speed. They can change colour and copy what other animals do. They even know how to open screw-top jars（带螺旋盖的罐子）and how to use tools!

Octopuses are mollusks（软体动物）.But unlike many other mollusks， they don't have a shell. This allows them to pass through tiny spaces. Although octopuses mainly eat small fish, they are able to attack and kill small sharks. They make the sharks unable to breathe by covering their gill（锡） openings.

One thing that makes octopuses seem like aliens is their blue blood. It is much better at transporting oxygen in cold and low-oxygen conditions(like the deep sea) than our red blood. Octopuses lose energy easily. This may help explain their outstanding intelligence∶ They can't chase after their prey（猎物） for a long time. They must use clever tricks.

As a hunter， an octopus brings prey under control through tle use of a powerful poison（毒）.The smaller the octopus，the stronger the poison. The ten-centimeter-long blue-ringedd octopus is so poisonous that it can easily kill a grown man. Octopuses themselves can be delicious prey to many differeent animals in the vast（iZ阔的）ocean， but they are clever enough to know how to keep themselves safe many of the timees. With their colour changing skin, octopuses can easily"hide"themselves or flash alarming colours to frighten their enemiesaway.If that doesn't work,the octopus will release a cloud of dark ink and quickly escape.

Perhaps the most amazing part of an octopus is its arms. They can turn in any direction. The arms are too complex to be controlled from a central brain. Instead, they work almostindependently. An octopus gives instructions and believes that they will be carried out. This means that the animal doesn't lhave a very good idea of where its arms are. They can't work out the shape of something by feeling it like we can.

29.What can octopuses do?

a.walk and swim

b.drive forward at high speed

c.change colour and open the jars

d. copy people's action

 A.abcB.abd C.acdD.bcd

30.What colour is octopuses'blood?

A.Red.B.Green.C.Blue.D.Black. 

31.Why do octopuses flash alarming colours?

A.Because they want to hide themselves.

B.Because they want to make themselves beautiful. 

C.Because they want to keep themselves safe.

D.Because they want to show their clever tricks.

32. Which of the following sentences is true?

A.Octopuses are mollusks with shells.

B. Octopuses can kill small sharks by covering their gill openings.

C.The bigger octopuses have stronger poison than the smaller ones. D.Octopuses'arms are easy to be controlled.

“It's nearly time for the Mid-autumn Festival,”he said.“We still haven't been able to drive the Mongols away. I'm very unhappy about it.”

Liu Bowen did not reply. He was thinking about moon cakes. People would exchange moon cakes at the Mid-autumn Festival.

"Moon cakes," said Liu Bowen."That's the answer. Moon cakes."

"I think you've gone mad," said Zhu Yuanzhang,"How can cakes be the answer to a problem like this?”

"Do you think that the Mongols will object if we give our friends moon cakes?"

"Of course not," said Zhu,"We do it every year. They're quite used to it."

“I have an idea for passing information without the Mongolls knowing anything about it,"said Liu Bowen."We'll put a message into each cake telling people when to attack."

Zhu Yuanzhang was delighted."What a good idea!"he said."The Mongols will never suspect anything."

Their people worked very hard to make moon cakes for the Han people. Into each moon cake they put a little piece of paper. Then it was wrapped in waxed paper so that it would not be spoiled.

When the Han people received their moon cakes, theysoon learned the time and date of the attack. The Mongols suspected nothing.
