21、Have you ever heard the saying “All roads lead to Rome”? At one time, this was pretty much true. During the Roman Empire, lots of roads were built in order to move armies, send messages by courier (信使), and make trade easier.

The network of Roman roads was begun in 312 BC. It was demanded that the roads be built strong so that they would not fall down. Roman soldiers, supervised (监督) by engineers, laid down the roads in a special pattern of layers. There were all together 4 layers, which was made of different materials, such as sand, rocks, stones and so on.

Also, Roman roads were cambered(拱形). This means that they were built higher in the middle than on the edges, allowing rainwater to run off, which prevented flooding. We use the same technique in building roads today. The Romans also laid out roads over hills when necessary, setting them down in a zigzag (之字形的)pattern to make the road rise gradually.

All Roman roads had milestones (里程碑), placed every thousand paces (a Roman mile). The milestones told when the road was built, who was emperor at the time, the road’s destination, how far the traveler was from the destination, and how many miles had been traveled since the beginning of the road. This information was a great help to travelers.

Because of their excellence in construction, it really is no surprise that many parts of Roman road still exist today. These roadways are one of the most impressive achievements of the Roman Empire.

【1】The following description about Roman roads is true EXCEPT _____.

A. Roman roads were built by the Roman soldiers directed by the engineers

B. Roman roads could prevent flooding using the technique we don’t use today

C. Roman roads had milestones that were placed every Roman mile

D .Roman roads still exist today as an impressive achievement of Roman Empire

【2】What information can you find on the milestones?

A. The builders of the road.

B. The materials used in building roads.

C. The distance from one city.

D. The time spent in building roads.

【3】The passage mainly ______.

A. explains the saying “All roads lead to Rome”

B. praises ancient Romans for their great achievements

C. shows how great the Roman Empire was

D. introduces the construction of the Roman roads

22、“Many people consider cats to be a largely nonsocial species,” Daniel Mills, a veterinary behaviorist at the University of Lincoln, tells Science. “There is clearly a lot going on that we are not aware of.”

To collect data on these furry subjects, researcher Lauren Scott of the University of Kansas Medical Center frequented a cat café located in Los Angeles for about a year and recorded videos of interactions between 53 cats. In total, Scott gathered 194 minutes of feline (猫科的) films that contained 186 interactions. With the help of her co-author, evolutionary psychologist Brittany N. Florkiewicz, she analyzed the cats’ facial signals. The pair discovered 276 expressions made up of a combination of 26 facial movements, including shifts in ear position, blinks, nose licks and whisker (胡须) and mouth movements. Of all expressions, about 45 percent or 126 were categorized as friendly, 37 percent were aggressive and 18 percent were ambiguous.

“These findings show it is good to look at a cat’s ears, eyes and whiskers to understand if they are feeling friendly,” Florkiewicz tells. “Their mouth provides a lot of information about whether a cat fight is likely. People may think that cats’ facial expressions are all about warning other cats and people off, but this shows just how social and tolerant pet cats can actually be.” The team also identified a “common play face” among cats, which was characterized by a dropped jaw and drawn back corners of the mouth.

Still, the scientists detected some patterns: Cats tended to move their ears and whiskers toward one another during friendly interactions and away during unfriendly ones. When the animals are aggressive, they often shrink their pupils (瞳孔) and flatten their ears. Cats display negative emotions with flattened ears and curled-back whiskers.

The new study could be used to help humans adopting cats find one that’s more likely to get along with existing pets, or it could help pet owners understand their feline companions better, Florkiewicz tells Science.

【1】What did Lauren Scott do to collect data about cats’ facial expressions?

A．She observed cats in their natural habitat.

B．She shot videos of cats’ interaction at a cat café.

C．She conducted experiments in a laboratory setting.

D．She interviewed cat owners about their pets’ behaviour.

【2】If cats plan to make an attack, they will ________.

A．move its ears and whiskers forward

B．narrow its pupils and flatten its ears

C．close its ears and twist its whiskers

D．lower its jaw and draw back the corners of the mouth

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A．Cats’ nonsocial nature is well confirmed.

B．Cats’ facial expressions are usually offensive.

C．Cats’ expression study will assist pet adopters.

D．Cats’ expressions won’t signal their negative emotions.

【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Friendliness and Aggression of Cats

B．The Social Nature of Cats

C．Facial Signals and Interactions of Cats

D．The Common Behaviour of Cats

23、USING YOUR SCORPIO COOKER: USEFUL HINTS

Follow these useful hints to obtain the best results when using your new SCORPIO cooker.

Choice of burner

Use a large burner to bring liquids to the boil quickly, and use a small one for stewed dishes and sauces.

To conserve gas, place the pan centrally over the burner and adjust the flame so that it does not extend past the edges of the pan.

Do not boil food too rapidly. A strong boil does not cook any faster but violently shakes up the food, which may then lose its taste.

flame too high — wastes gas flame not past edges of pan — conserves gas

Utensils

All normally available utensils (aluminum, stainless steel, cast iron, ceramic, etc.) may be used on your new gas cooker, but ensure that they are steady, in order to avoid dangerous spill-over of hot liquids.

Caution: Large Utensils

When a cooker is installed close to a worktop, ensure that whenever large utensils are used, they are placed so that they do not overhand the side of hotplate, as this may cause scorching or charring of the worktop surface.

Oven

There is a gradual change in temperature between the bottom and top of the oven. The first, or bottom, shelf position is the coolest and the fourth, or top, shelf position is the hottest. Because of the temperature change from one shelf position to another, it is possible to cook various dishes which require different temperatures, at the same time. As a rough guide, the temperature change from one shelf to the next is about ten degrees Celsius.

Some recipes do not refer directly to temperature but use descriptions such as “slow”, “moderate”, “hot” etc. when using such recipes, the following chart may be taken as a guide:

If preheating is required, allow time for the oven to reach the set temperature. The following table may be used as a guide:

Note that the oven light (where fitted) is located on the splash back.

Storage drawer (where fitted)

The storage drawer situated underneath the oven is designed for the storage of pans and utensils. Do not place plastic utensils or flammable material in this drawer. To remove the drawer, withdraw it to the fully open position. Then lift it dear of the stops. To refit the drawer, locate the nylon drawer slides on the slide tracks. Lift the drawer slightly to clear the stops, then slide it to the fully shut position.

【1】How do you conserve gas when using a Scorpio cooker?

A．Make the flame as high as possible.

B．Shake up the food.

C．Keep the flame not past the pan edges.

D．Make a strong boil.

【2】If you want to stew beef, you should________.

A．use a large utensil

B．use a small burner

C．cook it faster

D．use a utensil made of stainless steel

【3】What can we put in the storage drawer underneath the oven?

A．Pans and plastic utensils.

B．Pans and non-flammable material.

C．Utensils and flammable material.

D．Pans and various dishes.

24、Imagine an eco-conscious city where rooftops have been transformed into fertile, green gardens. It's a place where every home is equipped with a system that recycles valuable water resources. In this town, protecting the planet is a way of life. That's how Abby Sharp, 14, Wyatt Peery, 13, and Tom Krajnak, 14, saw their city of tomorrow. The vision won the eighth-graders from Bexley, Ohio, first prize at the 2009 National Engineers Week Future City Competition.

The annual design competition challenges middle school students to use engineering to deal with issues that affect the earth. This year the competition focused on water conservation. Participants had to come up with ways to improve water use in the home. Kids from 38 middle schools across the country competed in the finals. The event took place from February 17-18 in Washington, D.C. More than 30,000 students entered the competition.

Abby, Wyatt and Tom call their winning city Novo Mondum. The name means "new world" in Latin. Novo Mondum sits on the coast of Iceland. The group chose the spot for its wealth of clean energy resources, such as geothermal（地热的） energy and hydropower. Both sources use the power of nature to generate electricity. Geothermal energy draws heat from deep inside the Earth. Hydropower gets energy from flowing water. "Our city is very globally aware," Abby told TFK.

Students team up with a teacher and a volunteer engineer mentor（顾问）to develop their cities. Each group creates a fictional city on SimCity 4 Deluxe, a computer game that allows players to build virtual towns. Then they construct tabletop models of the cities and write essays describing their project. The models must be made using recycled materials and cost no more than $100 to build.

【1】What’s the main feature of the city designed by the three winners?

A．Making full use of water resources.

B．Protecting our home — the earth.

C．Turning rooftops into green gardens.

D．Costing no money to build

【2】It can be inferred that water conversation is ________.

A．the main theme of 2009 Future City Competition

B．one of the problems that influence the Earth.

C．one of the issues for the participants to deal with abroad.

D．an easy topic for all the students to design.

【3】According to the passage, Abby, Wyatt and Tom are ________.

A．ninth-graders from Bexley, Ohio.

B．second prize winners at the 2009 Future City Competition.

C．eighth-graders from Washington, D.C

D．lucky to get the first prize at the 2009 Future City Competition

【4】The underlined word “hydropower” means ________.

A．electric power from burning oil.

B．electric power from moving water.

C．electric power from deep inside the earth.

D．electric power from burning coals.

【5】What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?

A．What materials should be used in the competition

B．How teachers instruct the students in the competition.

C．The process of building virtual towns.

D．The process of developing a Future City.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. They don’t act in the romantic way that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too luxurious (奢侈的) for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of the question. And my father has a bad temper.

One day, my mother was sewing a quilt(被子). I silently sat down beside her and watched her for a moment, the wrinkle of concentration on her forehead softening as she noticed my presence.

“Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice, my heart pounding with the weight of the question.

My mother stopped her work with the surprise washing over her face. Her eyes, wide and searching. met mine, and I could see a storm of emotions swirling within them-confusion, reflection, perhaps a touch of sadness. She didn’t answer me immediately. and the silence stretched between us, filled with unspoken thoughts and fears.

I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her. The air felt heavy, filled with my anticipation and her delayed response. But at last, she spoke, her voice carrying the warmth of years of silent understanding and the strength of enduring affection.

“Lily,” she said, her voice soft yet firm, “take a good look at this thread. Sometimes it comes out, but most of the time, it’s hidden within the quilt. Yet. it’s this very thread that gives the quilt its strength and endurance. If life is like a quilt, then love is like this thread. It may not always be visible, but it’s always there, woven into every part of our lives. Love resides within.”

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until the next spring.
