12、, or types, occupy relatively shallow waters.Most octopuses stay along the oceans floor, although some species are pelagic, which means they live near the waters surface. Other octopus species live in deep, dark waters, rising from below at dawn and dusk to search for food. Crabs and shrimps rank am

13、ong their favorite foods, though some can attack larger prey (猎物), like sharks. Octopuses typically drop down on their prey from above and, using powerful suctions that line their arms, pull the animals into their mouths. The octopus performs its famous backward swim by blowing up water through a mu

18、hen my sister Mertie told me she had put out tomato plants last summer, I was quite impressed.Since she was a garden-beginner, Mertie researched exactly how far apart to space her tomato plants; what kind of fertilizer to use; how to keep away the bugs, etc. Once they were planted, she took care of

19、them daily, anxiously awaiting the juicy tomatoes to appear. But, day after day, her plants were tomato-less while all of her neighbors who had also put out tomato plants were already enjoying the fruit of their labor.Frustrated, Mertie gave in and went to the market to search fresh tomatoes. While

20、paying, Mertie told the farmer her troubles. The farmer paused to think for a moment and then asked, “Well, what kind of tomatoes did you plant?”“I think they were called Big Boy,” Mertie remembered.“Well theres your problem,” the farmer explained. “Big Boy and Better Boy tomatoes have a 95-day grow

21、ing period whereas regular tomato plants produce fruit in as few as 70 daysyou just have to wait a little longer for the Big Boys.”With that new knowledge, Mertie went home with excitement, knowing they would be worth the wait.Thinking about my sisters gardening experience, I had to smile. She just

22、didnt know that Big Boy tomatoes took longer-neither did I-but once she discovered that information, she was no longer discouraged and upset about the lack of tomatoes on her plants. Instead, she was encouraged and excited to see them a few weeks later.It makes me wonder how many of us have “Big Boy

23、” dreams in our hearts, yet we just dont realize that they are of the “Big Boy” variety so we are discouraged and worn out with the waiting process. Instead of waiting with excitement, we give up on our dreams and figure we must have done something wrong to stop them from coming to pass. Frustrated,

24、 we see other peoples dreams coming true, and we wonder why ours havent yet been achieved.1、What is not mentioned in the passage when growing tomato plants?AUsing suitable fertilizer. BKeeping them well apart.CWatering them regularly. DControlling pests on them.2、Why did Merties tomato plants fail t

25、o produce at the expected time?ABecause they were destroyed by her neighbors.BBecause she grew the wrong kind of tomatoes.CBecause she didnt manage the garden well.DBecause they required more time to produce.3、What does the author compare tomatoes to in the text?AGoals. BExperiences.CTime. DImaginat

26、ion.4、What does the text intend to show us?AIts better late than never.BA bad beginning makes a bad ending.CSuccess sometimes needs a little patience.DA bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.23（8分）Living in a culture that is different from your own can be both an exciting and challenging experie

27、nce. The following are 6 cultural differences between China and the USA to help promoting mutual understanding.MoneyAs is well known, the Chinese are conservative when they are planning to spend money, but far fewer American families are saving money for emergencies and education than their Chinese

28、counterparts (对等的人).PrivacyChinese people do not have the same concept of privacy as American do. They talk about topic such as ages, income or marital (婚姻的) status, which Americans think is annoying and disturbing.FamilyIn China, elders are traditionally treated with great respect while young are c

29、ared for. In America, the goal of the family is to encourage independence, particularly that of the children. Unlike the Chinese, older Americans seldom live with their children.FriendsChinese people have different meanings to define friends. Just hanging out together time to time is not friendship.

30、 Friendship means lifelong friends who feel it deeply necessary to give each other whatever help might seem required. Americans always call people they meet friends, so the definition of friends is general and different. There are work friends, playing friends, school friends and drinking friends.Ed

31、ucationChinese people value education and career more than Americans, who in turn attach more great importance to good character and faith, which they think are of great value in their life._Basically China values the community and the USA values the individual. If you achieve something in the USA,

32、its because you are great. While in China, if you achieve something, its because the team, or family, or company is great. Everything you do gets owed to the greater whole, while in American individual achievements are celebrated.1、What can be inferred from the passage?AAmericans lay more stress on

33、faith and good personality.BAmericans think much of the individual and the community.CAmericans are mean with money to spend while Chinese are not.DAmericans define friendship almost the same.2、Which of the following can best describe the last difference?AAchievements BIndividualCTeam VS Individual

34、DTeamwork3、What is the purpose of writing the passage?ATo promote friendship between China and the USABTo help Chinese live well in the USACTo have a complete understanding of the USADTo introduce the cultural differences between China and the USA24（8分）Not so long ago,most people didnt know who Shel

35、ly Ann Francis Pryce was going to become.She was just an average high school athlete.There was every indication that she was just another American teenager without much of a future.However,one person wants to change this.Stephen Francis observed then eighteen-year-old Shelly Ann as a track meet and

36、was convinced that he had seen the beginning of true greatness.Her time were not exactly impressive, but even so,he seemed there was something trying to get out,something the other coaches had overlooked when they had assessed her and found her lacking.He decided to offer Shelly Ann a place in his v

37、ery strict training seasons. Their cooperation quickly produced results,and a few year later at Jamaicas Olympic games in early 2008,Shelly Ann,who at that time only ranked number 70 in the world,beat Jamaicas unchallenged queen of the sprint（短跑）.Where did she come from?asked an astonished sprinting

38、 world,before concluding that she must be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from time to time,only to disappear again without signs.But Shelly Ann was to prove that she was anything but a one-hit wonder.At the Beijing Olympic she swept away any doubts about her ability to perform consisten

39、tly by becoming the first Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 meters Olympic gold.She did it again one year on at the World Championship in Briton,becoming world champion with a time of 10.73the fourth record ever.Shelly-Ann is a little woman with a big smile.She has a mental toughness that did not c

40、ome about by chance. Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything but smooth and effortless,She grew up in one of Jamaicas toughest inner-city communities known as Waterhouse,where she lived in a one-room apartment, sleeping four in a bed with her mother and two brothers.Wate

41、rhouse,one of the poorest communities in Jamaica,is a really violent and overpopulated place.Several of Shelly-Anns friends and family were caught up in the killings;one of her cousins was shot dead only a few streets away from where she lived.Sometimes her family didnt have enough to eat.She ran at

42、 the school championships barefooted because she couldnt afford shoes.Her mother Maxime,one of a family of fourteen,had been an athlete herself as a young girl but,like so many other girls in Waterhouse,had to stop after she had her first baby.Maximes early entry into the adult world with its respon

43、sibilities gave her the determination to ensure that her kids would not end up in Waterhouses roundabout of poverty.One of the first things Maxime used to do with Shelly-Ann was taking her to the track,and she was ready to sacrifice everything.It didnt take long for Shelly-Ann to realize that sports

44、 could be her way out of Waterhouse.On a summer evening in Beijing in 2008,all those long,hard hours of work and commitment finally bore fruit.The barefoot kid who just a few years previously had been living in poverty,surrounded by criminals and violence,had written a new chapter in the history of

45、sports.But Shelly-Anns victory was far greater than that.The night,she won Olympic gold in Beijing,the routine murders in Waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighbouring streets stopped.The dark cloud above one of the worlds toughest criminal neighbourhoods simply disappeared for a few days.“I have

46、 so much fire burning for my country,”Shelly said.She plans to start a foundation for homeless children and wants to build a community centre in Waterhouse.She hopes to inspire the Jamaicans to lay down their weapons.She intends to fight to make it a womans as well as a mans world.As Muhammad Ali pu
