flat on the ground. the flattened (变平的) wheat formed a circle about six meters across. around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat. the five circles were in a formation like five dots (点). during the following years, farmers in england found the strange circles in their fields more and more often.the circles are called “crop circles” because they appear in the fields of grainusually wheat or corn. the grain in the circles lies flat on the ground but is never broken; it continues to grow, and farmers can later harvest it. farmers always discover the crop circles in the morning, so the circles probably form at night. they appear only in the months from may to september.at first, people thought that the circles were a hoax. probably young people were making them as a joke, or farmers were making them to attract tourists. to prove that the circles were a hoax, people tried to make circles exactly like the ones that farmers had found. they could not do it. they couldnt enter a field of grain without leaving tracks, and they couldnt flatten the grain without breaking it.many people believe that beings from outer space are making the circles to communicate（交流）with us from far away and that the crop circles are messages from them.scientists who have studied the crop circles suggested several possibilities. some scientists say that a downward rush of wind leads to the formation of the circlesthe same downward rush of air that sometimes causes an airplane to crash (坠毁). other scientists say that forces within the earth cause the circles to appear. there is one problem with all these scientific explanations: crop circles often appear in formations, like the five-dot formation. it is hard to believe that any natural force could form those.1in the summer of 1978, an english farmer discovered in his field that _.a. some of his wheat had been damagedb. his grain was growing up in circlesc. his grain was moved into several circlesd. some of his wheat had fallen onto the ground2according to the text, the underlined part “a hoax” (line 1, para. 3 ) probably means _.a. an action made to fool peopleb. a special way to plant cropsc. a research on the force of windsd. an experiment for the protection of crops3which of the following may prove that the crop circles are not made by man？a. the farmers couldnt step out of the field.b. the farmers couldnt make the circles round.c. the farmers couldnt leave without footprints.d. the farmers couldnt keep the wheat straight up. with their weakening bodies, advanced age or increasing pressure of work or study, people have been advised and usually persuaded to have health care products. do you remember your first time to take a nutritional supplement (营养补充品)？ what was your first

have worked with numerous children infected with the virus that causes aids. the relationships that i have had with these special kids have been gifts in my life. they have taught me so many things, but i have especially learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages. let me tell you about tyler.tyler was born infected with hiv: his mother was also infected. from the very beginning of his life, he was dependent on medications to enable him to survive. when he was five, he had a tube surgically inserted in a vein in his chest. this tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack on his back. medications were hooked up to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to his bloodstream. at times, he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing.tyler wasnt willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease. it was not unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his medicine-laden backpack and dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon. all of us who knew tyler marveled at his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him. tylers mom often teased him by telling him that he moved so fast that she needed to dress him in red. that way, when she peered through the window to check on him playing in the yard, she could quickly spot him.this dreaded disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little dynamo like tyler. he grew quite ill and, unfortunately, so did his hiv-infected mother. when it became apparent that he wasnt going to survive, tylers mom talked to him about death. she comforted him by telling tyler that she was dying too, and that she would be with him soon in heaven.a few days before his death, tyler beckoned me over to his hospital bed and whispered, l might die soon. im not scared. when i die, please dress me in red. mom promised shes coming to heaven, too. ill be playing when she gets there, and i want to make sure she can find me.8 what is the boy tylers attitude towards death?a. pessimistic. b. optimistic.c. sorrowful. d. fearful.9 tyler requested the writer to dress him in red when he died simply

this passage?a. my unusual professionb. a caring motherc. mother and sond. dying in red11 the underlined word dynamo in the fourth paragraph here means _.a. a promising and helpful youthb. an extremely energetic personc. a rare and beautiful flowerd. a magic and understanding superstar “when your mother scolds you, you can look elsewhere and think about other things. just ignore her words. but remember: such a tough attitude cannot be used often.”these words are from a series of cartoons which outline skills for children to fight against their mothers. the images have created heated debate among chinese netizens.regarded as “a book for children aged 6 to 12 who are always scolded by their parents”， the cartoons, drawn by two 10yearold beijing girls, list over 20 skills which children can use to deal with their mothers anger such as crying, pretending to be ashamed, fleeing into the toilet and pleasing her afterwards.each skill is described with vivid pictures and humorous notes. the creativity of the young girls has amazed netizens, the yangtse evening post reported on thursday.according to one of the girls mothers, her daughter once received a poor mark in an exam, and the mother blamed her and compared her performance with another classmate. the daughters feelings led to her creating the cartoons.the girls father, who first posted the pictures on his sohu microblog on monday, said he hopes parents pay close attention to the pictures, allow children to feel free to develop their own characteristics and try not to criticize them so often.the father said the cartoons arent finished yet; his daughter will continue with them when she has time.“the cartoons, although an individual case, reflect a modern phenomenon and some of the problems within chinese family education，” said yu qinfang, an expert on family education.according to a survey of 104 children and their parents, yu discovered that as many as 51.9 percent of primary school students hate being urged to do things by their mothers.“not giving children enough time and hurrying them to do things seems to be a very tiny detail within family life, but it is potentially a huge problem which can easily be ignored by parents. a mothers blame may lead to negative feelings within her childs heart，” yu said. “parents should learn to blame less and be more patient.”12what amazed chinese netizens according to the text?athe girls poor marks.bthe girls skills against their mothers.cthe girls creativity.dthe girls tough attitude to their mothers.13what do we know about the book?ait tells

being compared with others16we can conclude from the text that _.aparents often ignore their childrens hobbiesbparents often speak highly of their childrenchow to develop childrens gifts puzzles parentsdhow to blame children needs parents wisdom few people would question the value of taking part in sports for young people. with proper training, supervision, protective equipment and techniques, and a proper emphasis on winning, sports can develop a healthy body and spirit and a life-long interest in being active and fit. without such measures, childhood sports can lead to injuries and even paralysis or death.even in the best conditions, no activity can be risk-free. but most serious hazards are preventable. cyclists and football players can reduce their risks by wearing helmets; hockey players by wearing masks; basketball and tennis players by wearing eye guards; baseball players by wearing batting pelmets.besides, risks to individual players can often be found, and thus prevented, through a properly performed medical exam before a child plays. for accidents that may not be preventable, having an emergency plan and first-aid equipment, and someone trained to use the equipment, can be life-saving.still, each year, according to the american college of sports medicine, more than 775, 000 children under 14 are treated in emergency rooms for sports injuries, nearly half of them preventable. an estimated 300, 000 athletes experience exercise-related head illnesses each year, and almost all of them should have been avoided.further, from half to three-fourths of sports-related concussions (脑震荡) are never even diagnosed; the injured are often sent back to play too soon and put at risk of another more serious brain-damaging concussion. to help reduce these risks, the national center for sports safety, with the national athletic trainers, association, offers a three-hour online safety course for coaches for $ 28 at www. sportssafety. org.17 which of the following is true according to the passage?a. all the accidents can be prevented.b. all the accidents cannot be prevented.c. lives can be saved so long as there is proper equipment.d. lives cannot be saved even if there is proper equipment.18 what does the underlined word hazards (in paragraph 2) mean?a. mistakes. b. diseases.c. dangers. d. situations.19 it is implied in the passage that _.a. prevention of injuries is not paid enough attention tob. children under 14 are more easily hurt in sportsc. most head illnesses are related to exercised. none of the head illnesses should have happened20 what can coaches mainly learn from the online safety course?a. how to cure brain-damaging concussion.b. how to diagnose brain-damaging concussion.c. how to predict the possibility of brain damage.d. how to deal with the injured properly.三、完形填空（共20小题, 每小题1.5分，满分30分） children model themselves largely on their parents. they do so mainly through identification. children
