1 . It is sad but true that people die in earthquakes     1    falling furniture and bricks. Earthquake    2    (safe) is very important and there is more to it    3    just keeping buildings from falling down. So if your home is in an earthquake area, you should prepare carefully before the earthquake    4     (come).

First, make sure you buy a house which is earthquake safe. All pipes should be fixed to the walls and all walls should be     5     (especial) thick and strong. Make sure the building has no    6    (break) windows and is well repaired.

Second, look at the objects in your house. Objects    7     computers, televisions and lamps can be tied to tables or    8    (stick) to them so they won’t easily move around. The cupboards,     9     many small things are stored, should have strong doors. Always remember,    10     (good) safe than sorry.

2 . During summer days, warmer temperatures bring pests like mosquitoes. Mosquitoes can cause lots of trouble for people.    1    . They even can spread many serious diseases.

An easy way to protect yourself against mosquitoes is using repellents (驱虫剂). Joseph Conlon, an advisor of the American Mosquito Control Association, recommends using repellents that are registered with the Environmental Protection Agency, which ensures that they actually do no harm to humans.     2    . But some repellents can provide 4-6 hours of protection if the quality of them is excellent.

Mosquitoes are also very weak. A slight wind from a fan can help keep them away from you. It turns out that many mosquitoes are not very good fliers.     3    .

Another way is to clear all the standing water (积水) every five days. Conlon explains that mosquitoes can produce young in water collected in areas as small as bottle caps. But they have a limited flight range, which means they can’t travel far. “The best way to avoid them is to not have them around in the first place.” he says. If you’ve got them in your backyard, it’s because you’re raising them in your backyard.     4    . “If you can’t avoid the standing water around your house, I suggest raising fish that will eat mosquito larvae (幼虫).”

    5    . They’ve experimented with male mosquitoes containing some materials that stop females from producing larvae. “There are not a lot of companies producing new chemicals or treatments that we can use,” a researcher of the experiment adds. “We need new technologies and products to get rid of mosquitoes.”

A．They usually provide two hours of protection.

B．Do remember to keep children away from them.

C．So try to make sure your house doesn’t have standing water.

D．You can wear protective clothing and keep your windows closed.

E．You can set up a fan in your house so that mosquitoes can’t bite you.

F．Many people hardly sleep well at night with mosquitoes flying around.

G．The researchers also try to find high-tech solutions to mosquito population.

5 . Construction on Knolly’s Tunnel began in 1896, and it was opened on August 13th, 1898 by the man it was named after--Sir Clement C. Knolly, Acting Governor of Trinidad. It linked Rio Claro with Port of Spain. Its architecture is still admired and studied today, and many are amazed that Knolly’s Tunnel has stood up to the earth’s movement over so many years.

Much research is being done on the tunnel. At the top of Knolly’s Tunnel are cottages covered with leaves, where visitors can sit and enjoy the beauty of nature. Standing at the beginning of Knolly’s Tunnel, you can see nothing but the tiny light at the end. The train tracks have been removed and replaced with small stones. Visitors can drive through the tunnel or walk through, but should do so in groups for safety. In the old days, there were no lights, but now there are street lights on the way to the tunnel, though not inside.

On your way in, you may notice some manholes on the walls of the tunnel. These were there for individuals to step into for safety as the train passed. Knolly’s Tunnel can be accessed through Tabaquite and through Mitchell Gap. The road was recently improved, but is better when you enter from Tabaquite, and there are signs on the road directing you to Knolly’s Tunnel.

On the drive to Knolly’s Tunnel there are two other cottages where visitors can sit and just enjoy nature. At the site itself, there is nothing to purchase to eat or drink, but in Tabaquite there are several bars, a restaurant, and food outlets. A gas station and a health centre are also close by.

For those who admire architecture, Knolly’s Tunnel is a must-see when visiting Trinidad. For the nature lovers, there is no better place for them to be and for the historians, they can walk or drive through Knolly’s Tunnel knowing that many of our ancestors toiled (worked hard) on its structure. So when you visit Trinidad, don’t forget to take a look at Knolly’s Tunnel!

8 . 阅读下面文段，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空，并将答案填写在答题卡的相应位置上。

Many millions of years later, the first     1     (extreme) small plants began to appear on the surface of the water. They multiplied and filled the oceans and seas     2     oxygen,     3     encouraged the later development of early shellfish and all sorts of fish. Next, green plants began to grow on land. They     4     (follow) in time by land animals. Some were insects.     5    , called amphibians, were able to live on land as well as     6    the water. Later when the plants grew into forests, reptiles appeared for the first time. They produced young generally by laying eggs. After that, some huge animals, called dinosaurs, developed. They     7     (lay) eggs too and existed on the earth for more than 140 million years.     8    , 65million years ago the age of the dinosaurs ended. Why they suddenly disappeared still remains a mystery. This     9     (appear) made possible the rise of mammals on the earth. These animals were different from all life forms in the past,     10     they gave birth to young baby animals and produced milk to feed them.

Their friend, Danny Lin, was waiting at the airport. He was going to take them and their baggage to catch “The True North”, the cross-Canada train.     1     the way to the station, he       2     (chat) about the trip. “You’re going to see some great scenery. Going eastward, you’ll pass mountains and thousands of lakes and forests, as well as wide rivers and large cities. Some people have the idea that you can cross Canada    3     less than five days, but they forget the fact     4     Canada is 5,500 kilometres     5    coast to coast. Here is Vancouver, you’re in Canada’s warmest part. People say it is Canada’s most beautiful city,     6     (surround) by mountains and the Pacific Ocean.     7     (ski) in the Rockey Mountains and sailing in the harbour make Vancouver one of Canada’s     8     (popular) cities to live in. Its population is increasing     9     (rapid). The coast north of Vancouver has some of the oldest and most beautiful forests in the world. It is so wet there that the trees are extremely tall, some     10     (measure) over 90 metres.”

10 . Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.

If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants.

Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.

Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores (胚芽). Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.

1. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ______.

A．plants are important for life	B．plants cannot grow without air
C．there are many plants in the world	D．we can not live without water

2. Plants can make food from______.

A．flower, water and air	B．water, sunlight and air
C．air, water and soil	D．air, sun and light

3. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?

A．Of all living things animals are most important

B．Spores are seeds

C．All fruits of flowering plants have seeds

D．Without plants, man will die out

4. This passage may be taken from______.

A．a medicine book	B．a novel
C．a science magazine	D．an experiment report

5. The underlined word “protected” in the third paragraph can be replaced by ______.
