难度：***
Most greenhouses look like a small glass house. Green-houses are used to grow plants, especially in the winter. Greenhouses 21 by trapping heat from the sun. The glass panes (窗玻璃) of the greenhouse let in light but keep heat from 22 . This causes the greenhouse to heat up – much like the 23 of a car parked in sunlight -- which keeps the plants 24 enough to live in winter.
The Earth' s atmosphere is all around us. It is the air that we breathe. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere 25 much like the glass panes in a greenhouse. 26 enters the Earth's atmosphere, passing through the blanket of green- house gases. As it reaches the Earth's surface, the land, water and biosphere (生物圈) 27 its energy. Once absorbed, this energy is passed back into the 28 . Some of the energy passes back into space, but much of it 29 , trapped in the atmosphere by the greenhouse gases, causing our world to heat up.
The greenhouse 30 is important. Without it, the Earth would not be warm enough for humans to live. If the effect becomes stronger, though, it could make the Earth warmer than usual. Even a little extra warming may cause problems for humans, plants and animals.
21. A. run B. work C. perform D. apply
22. A. increasing B. cooling C. escaping D. passing
23. A. outside B. top C. window D. inside
24. A. warm B. strong C. healthy D. tall
25. A. behave B. react C. conduct D. operate
26. A. Gas B. Sunlight C. Heat D. Energy
27. A. absorb B. use C. stop D. reflect
28. A. sky B. greenhouse C. atmosphere D. surface
29. A. disappears B. escapes C. continues D. remains
30. A. effect B. result C. change D. force
答案：
21. B。 本句话后面的“…by trapping heat from the sun.”可知这里是讲温室的工作原理，温室的工作原理是蓄留来自太阳的热量，所以选work。
22. C。 根据下一句“This causes the greenhouse to heat up…”可知，太阳光透进窗玻璃后，热量却被阻止散出，从而使温室内温度上升。escape有“(气体)逃出、逸出”的意思，符合语境。
23. D。 温室的原理就像停在阳光下的小汽车内部一样，阳光透进以后，热量不易散出。注意：因为类比的是the greenhouse的内部，所以对停在阳光下的小汽车来说就是指其内部了，而并非车窗。
24. A。 根据此句的关键词in winter可知选择A项，其他的选项干扰性较为强烈，但是如果是针对in winter这个特殊环境的话，选择A项是最佳选择。温室内温度的升高可以使植物在冬天能保持温暖，促进生长。
25. A。 根据本段最后一句“Some of the energy passes back into space, but much of it 29, trapped in the atmosphere by the greenhouse gases, causing our world to heat up.”可知当阳光进入大气层后，有一部分热量将会被一些温室气体(大气中的二氧化碳、水气、甲烷、氮氧化物、臭氧等) trapped in the atmosphere，从而导致地球表面温度上升。这个原理与温室的原理是相同的。那么大气中这些能够trap一部分热量的温室气体的作用就很类似温室里窗玻璃的作用。所以此题选择A项behave比较合适。
26. B。 因为还没有被吸收，所以这里用太阳光比较合适，描述太阳光先进入地球的大气层……
27. A。 从其后的Once absorbed可得到暗示，太阳光穿过厚厚的一层温室气体后到达地球的表面，大地、水和生物圈都会吸收一部分太阳光的能量。
28. C。 地球吸收热量后，一些能量依旧返回大气层。从后面的一些到了太空中，一些被trapped in the atmosphere by greenhouse gases可以看出。
29. D。 remains保留下来。从后面的trapped in the atmosphere by greenhouse gases “一些被大气层中的温室气体蓄留”可知答案。
30. A。 根据其后内容可知是在谈温室效应的影响，从后面的“If the effect becomes stronger…”可以得到提示。

Every student will be faced with the question when he passes the college entrance examinations: Should we choose a good major 31 a good university first? Some students prefer 32 (consider) majors first so that they can learn 33 they are interested in. It will also make 34 possible for them to take their favorite jobs in the future. 35 , those 36 think differently believe that the environment is important to one's development and 37 graduates from leading universities are often more likely to find a good job. 38 my opinion, the best choice is a good major at a good university. If we cannot obtain both, the first thing 39 (consider) is a good major, because no matter 40 we study, we can still achieve a lot in a certain field if we try our best.

In June, 2007, a group of students from eight high schools in Winnipeg, the capital of Canada’s Manitoba province, will begin test-launching (试发射) a satellite the size of a Rubik’s cube.
The one-kilogram Win-Cub satellite, named for its home city and its shape, will be put into low orbit. Once in space, it can perform for a few months or up to several years, communicating information that could help find the signs of earthquakes.
There are 80 similar satellite projects worldwide, but this is the first high-school based program of its kind in Canada. 30 Manitoba high school students are having a hand in designing and building the satellite, in cooperation with aerospace (航空航天的) experts and 10 students from the University of Manitoba, and with support from two other organizations.
The Win-Cube project is not something that goes on a piece of paper; it is real-world engineering, allowing high school students to have an opportunity to learn more about the exciting world of engineering through their participation in this challenging program. It is also taken as a wonderful example of the unique partnerships within Manitoba. Designing, building and launching a satellite with high-school participation will bring this world-class educational project into reality and Manitoba closer to space.
“These Manitoba high school students deserve congratulations for their enthusiasm, innovation (创新), and a strong love for discovery,” said Education, Citizenship and Youth Minister Peter Bjomson. “We want to make science more relevant, interesting and attractive to high school students by showing them how classroom studies can relate to practical experience in the workplace or, in this case, in space,” Bjomson added.
The Win-Cube program is mainly named at inspiring a strong desire for discovery on the part of the students. It also shows Manitoba’s devotion to research and innovation and the development of a skilled workforce—all important drivers of knowledge-based economic growth.
41. According to the passage, the Win-Cube satellite is .
A. named after Manitoba and its shape
B. intended for international communication
C. designed like a Rubik’s cube both in shape and size
D. challenged by university students around the world
42. According to Mr. Bjomson, .
A. those Manitoba high school students are worth praising
B. the study of space can be practically made in classrooms
C. Manitoba high schools are famous for the study of space
D. scientific research is too far away from high school students
43. The primary purpose of the project is to .
A. find the early signs of earthquakes
B. relate studies to practical
C. help high school students study real-world engineering
D. inspire a strong desire for discovery among the students
44. Which of the following statements is WRONG?
A. In Canada there are 80 similar satellite programs in all.
B. These students will have an opportunity to learn more about engineering through the project.
C. These high school will have a strong love for discovery and be interested in science.
D. This Win-Cube program is very successful in Canada.
45. The best title for this passage may be .
A. Manitoba School B. Win-Cube Program
C. Space Co-operation D. Satellite Launching

Dear editor,
I 'm writing to tell you about a food poisoning incident. Several days ago, my neighbor family ate a bag of fake food from the market. After the meal, they had stomachaches and brought up what they had eaten as their faces turned pale. Fortunately, another neighbor passed by only to find the accident and immediately called the ambulance, which carried them quickly to hospital. After several hours' treatment they finally escaped from death.
From this all of us have realized the importance of food safety. And I do hope the whole society shall begin taking actions to protect people's life safety.
Yours
Li Hua

答案:
Safety Ought to Be Paid More Attention to
Today, I received a reader's letter about a food poisoning incident, and with others' help, the victims were safe. The responsible reader also referred to the importance of food safety and the necessity of actions to protect people's life.
I was shocked at the food poisoning incident. Personally speaking, the government should pay more attention to the food safety and making some necessary laws. As some illegal businessmen are only interested in making profits in the race to become rich quickly, they seldom care about the necessary safety measures and hygiene or care what happens to consumers. They must be charged by law. Only in this way will the whole society have a better and harmonious life.
Here, I also wish all the victims recover soon.
