A team of scientists announced on January 6, 2015 that they had identified eight planets beyond our solar sys

12、tem, three or four of which orbit in their stars “Goldilocks Zone” the region where temperatures are not too hot or too cold for water, which is a necessary ingredient for life as we know it, to exist liquid form. This may be good news for people hoping that Earth is not the only inhabited world in

13、the universe.The scientists, led by Dr. Guilermo Torres of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, made the discoveries using data collected by the planet-seeking Kepler telescope.NASA launched Kepler in 2009. Since then, the telescope has identified more than 1,000 planets outside of our s

14、olar system. Torres and his team analyzed the data about the eight newly discovered world to determine which ones are most likely to be similar to our Earth.Among the new discoveries, the scientists say the planets called Kepler438b and 442b are the closest to Earth. Kepler 438b is just about 10% la

15、rger than our planet, and gets 40% more of its energy from its star than Earth receives from the Sun. Temperatures there would be about 140 degrees. Kepler 442b is about 33% larger than Earth, but receives 30% less energy from its star. That would make it a potentially chillier world than our own. T

16、orres says it is possible for life to exist and survive in either of those temperatures, but for that to happen, these planets would need to have another key ingredient for life: a heat-trapping atmosphere like Earths.While these findings add to the possibility that life exists beyond Earth, Torres

17、cautions against drawing conclusions, “We are not claiming they are inhabited,” he says. In fact, these planets are so far away that the scientists cannot observe them directly, which can be explanation for why for now it remains unknown whether these planets contain life. But the discovery of plane

18、ts in their stars habitable zones suggests that somewhere out there, some form of alien life may have taken hold.1、The scientists have identified eight planets, _.Awhich are suitable for humans to live onBsome of which are possible for life to exist onCsome of which have the same situations as Earth

19、Dwhich are not too hot or too cold for water to exist on2、Which statement about the discovery of Torres and his team is TRUE?AKepler 438b is too hot for any life to exist on.BKepler 438b and 442b are the farthest to Earth.CThey have made the discoveries through Kepler.DThey have discovered over 1000

20、 planets in 7 years.3、What is the possible thing that Kepler 442b lacks for life to exist on?AThe waterBThe sunlightCThe soilDThe atmosphere4、About their exploration, Torres wants to indicate that _.Athere is a lot left to learnBthey have had decisive gainsCit is the first in human historyDit is cer

22、olic rate, essentially transforming white fat, which stores extra calories and is associated with obesity and metabolic disease, into a fat like calorie-burning brown fat,” said Kevin Phillips, a researcher in Houston.Until several years ago, scientists thought that only animals and human babies hav

23、e energy-burning, good brown fat. “It is now clear,” Phillips said, “that human adults do have brown fat, but appear to lose its calorie-burning activity over time.” White fat has a bad effect on people when the body has too much of it. Some published research shows that people who have more brown f

24、at have a reduced risk of obesity. Researchers are now working on ways to “brown” white fat, or change it into brown fat.GC-1 works, according to Phillips. He said he and other researchers have tested the drug in hundreds of mice. Obese mice, both genetically obese and those with diet-induced obesit

25、y, received GC-1 treatment daily. Genetically obese mice lost weight and more than 50 percent of their fat mass in approximately two weeks, Phillips reported. He said mice with diet-induced obesity experienced similar improvements. The drug also caused adaptive thermogenes（适应性发热）in fat cells from mi

26、ce. Cells grown in a dish, as well as tissue samples taken from obese mice, showed evidence of white-fat browning. “Our data prove that GC-1 is a novel fat-browning agent that may have use in the treatment of obesity and metabolic disease,”Phillips said.The drug has not yet been tested for weight lo

27、ss in humans. However, Phillips said it wouldnt be long before it was used as a way of losing weight.1、What is the writers purpose of writing this passage?ATo prove the harm of a new drug.BTo introduce a new drug to people.CTo explain the development of a new drug.DTo inform people of some health kn

28、owledge.2、In the past, people held the belief that _.Ahuman babies have brown fatBanimals dont have brown fatConly human adults have brown fatDbrown fat may lose its activity over time3、What can we know about GC-1?AIt can be used to treat obesity.BIt is a cure for heart disease.CIt is a drug intende

29、d for mice.DIt has been sold in the drug store.4、Which of the following can make people lose weight?AIncreasing more white fat.BBurning off more brown fat.CChanging white fat into brown fat.DSlowing down the activity of brown fat.23（8分） Hundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by

30、people on foot or by horse. It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country and all over the world every day, either by watching TV or read

31、ing newspapers.Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?Firstly,

32、it is important to report new stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely different stories to those on TV.Secondly, a news story has to be interesting a

33、nd unusual. People dont want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be bad news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely; instead they print stories about plane accidents.Another factor is also very imp

34、ortant in many news stories. Many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more prefer to read stories about people, places and events in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American

35、newspapers.1、According to the passage, how do people learn about news stories in the world now?AThey carry news stories and tell others from place to place on foot or by horse.BThey tell each other what they have seen with their eyes.CThey watch TV or read newspapers.DThey listen to the radio every

36、day.2、The difference between newspaper stories and TV news reports is that _.Apeople can learn more about the same news story from a newspaperBpeople can read the news story more quickly in a newspaperCpeople can read news stories in other countriesDpeople can read news stories about their own count

37、ry3、According to the passage, which of the following can you most possibly watch on TV?AYou often play football with your friends after school.BYour teacher has got a cold.CA tiger in the city zoo has run out and hasnt been caught.DThe bike in front of your house is lost.24（8分）“Are you going to Seat

38、tle?” an anxiouslooking woman asked a female traveler at the Amtrak Station in Sacramento. “No, Im going to Eugene,” the traveler replied. “Oh, I was hoping you could watch out for my daughter, shes never been on a train before.”Since I am a seasoned train traveler, I know that seats and cars are as

39、signed by destination. So I approached the woman and her frightenedlooking daughter and told them that her daughter could sit with me and that I would take care of her for the duration of the journey.The train had arrived 25 minutes late, and people rushed to get their seat assignments. The conducto

40、r wanted to know if there were people traveling together, so I pushed my way to the front of the line with the girl and we were arranged to sit next to each other. Once on board, I showed her where to put her luggage, and took her to the bathroom area. We settled down to sleep. In the morning, she b

41、ecame comfortable enough to do what most 15year olds do; talk and text on her mobile phone.Throughout the trip, I made sure she picked up her ID, which had fallen out of her backpack, and generally kept an eye on her in a nonintrusive way. I hope someone takes her under their wing when she flies (an

42、other anxietyproducing first) back to Sacramento.I do hope that kindness will spread around the world through these ways. Were conditioned to think that our lives revolved（旋转）around great moments. But great moments often catch us unaware, beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one.1

DAmtrak.2、Why did the author push to the front of the line?ATo get his seat assignment.BTo get a seat in the front.CTo help the girl find her seat.DTo ask for the two seats next to each other.3、What can be learnt from the text?AThe g

44、irl has never travelled by air before.BThe girl has never been to Seattle before.CThe mother and daughter have never taken the train before.DThe girl was too nervous to do nothing alone throughout the trip.4、What does the authors story intend to tell us?AExperience is the best teacher.BYou never kno

46、nguage communities drastically varies.While some languages are recognized by governments and taught in schools，the majority go unrecognized，unsupported，and untaught，leaving communities ill-equipped to pass their languages on to future generations.Tsakonian，a“dialect(方言)”in Greece，has declined to the

47、 point that only 100 speakers remain.When a language disappears，many other things can go away as well.For example，parts of a communitys culture，knowledge and identity can also be lost.One organization seeking to save world languages is Wikitongues，which was founded as a school project by Daniel Bogr

48、e Udell in 2012，when he began recording short oral histories in New York to explore the citys rich cultural diversity with the simple idea:tell me about yourself or your home in your native language.When he posted the videos online，the channel quickly got wide attention.There are currently over 400

49、languages and dialects represented on Wikitongueschannel and more than 1，500 people from 70 different countries have added videos to it.But thats far from enough.The organization seeks to serve as an Internet resource to keep as many languages as possible alive.Udell believes they can make it happen

50、.“There are many examples of languages that disappeared but later returned to use.Hebrew went extinct in the 4th century BC，and was revived(恢复)in the 1800s.Now once again，its the mother tongue of half of the worlds Jewish population，”said Udell.1、What can be inferred about Tsakonian in Greece?AIts h

51、ard to speak and understand.BIt will definitely die out in the future.CIts not allowed to speak in Greece.DIt lacks recognition and support.2、What effect may be brought by the extinction of languages?AHarming future generations.BReducing cultural diversity.CPreventing daily communication.DChanging s

52、chool projects.3、Whats the purpose of Wikitongues?ATo support people in saving their languages.BTo revive languages that have disappeared.CTo record enough short oral histories.DTo explore the worlds rich cultures.4、What does Udell want to tell us by giving Hebrew as an example in the last paragraph

53、?AAll extinct languages will be brought back to life.BIts possible to prevent languages from dying out.CMore languages will be presented on Wikitongueschannel.DHebrew has become one of the most popular languages in the world.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳
