On the day before bass (巴斯鱼) season opened, they were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then the boy tied on a small silver lure (鱼饵) and put it into the lake. Suddenly he felt that something very big pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm – two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said. “Dad!” cried the boy, “There will be other fish,” said his father. “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy. He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were in sight in the moonlight. He looked again at his father.Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He threw the huge bass into the black water. The big fish disappeared. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.That was 34 years ago. Today the boy is successful architect in New York City. He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish … again and again … every time he has an ethical (伦理的,道德的) decision to make. For, as his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.55. What happened when the big fish turned out to be a bass?A. The boy cooked the big fish.B. The boy threw the bass back into the water willingly.C. The father lit a match in order to check the time.D.

CAstronomers (天文学家) say they are on the point of finding planets like Earth orbiting other stars, which is a key step in determining if we are alone in the universe. A top NASA official and other leading scientists say that within four or five years they should discover the first Earth-like planet where life could develop, or may have already. A planet close to the size of Earth could even be found sometime this year. At the annual American Astronomical Society conference this week, each discovery involving so-called “exoplanets” —those outside our solar system — pointed to the same conclusion:Quiet planets like Earth where life could develop probably are plentiful. NASA’s Dew Kepler telescope and a lot of new research from the suddenly hot and competitive exoplanet field caused noticeable buzz at the meeting.Scientists are talking about being at “an incredible special place in history” and closer to answering the question. “Are we alone? For the first time, there’s an optimism that sometime in our lifetimes we’re going to get to the bottom of that,” said Simon Worden,an astronomer who heads NASA’s Ames Research Center. “If I were a betting man, which I am, I would bet we’re not alone.” “These are big questions that reflect upon the meaning of the human race in the universe,” the director of the Vatican Observatory, the Rev. Jose Funes, said Wednesday in an interview at this week’s conference. Worden told The Associated Press: “I would certainly expect in the next four or five years we’d have an Earth-sized planet in the habitable (可居住的) zone.”63. What is very important in determining if we are alone in the universe?A. Finding an Earth-like planet. B. Orbiting other stars. C. Developing new telescopes. D. Finding more exoplanets. 64. What’s an exoplanet?A. It’s a planet like Earth. B. It’s a planet outside our solar system. C. It’s a planet orbiting the sun. D.It’s a planet where life have developed. 65. The underlined phrase “get to the bottom of” probably means “__________”.A. understand fully B. make full use ofC. search for D. do more research on 66. From the passage we can learn that __________. A. an Earth-like planet has been foundB. it’s been proved we are not alone in the universeC. Jose Funes has found the meaning of the human race in the universeD. the discovery of an Earth-like planet could happen in the near futureDWith a busy life and job, pressure can make you look tired and aged.

Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span."I think we are knocking at the door of immortality(永生)," said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. "I think by 2075 we will see it and that’s a conservative estimate".At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology(纳米技术)make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. "There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years," he said. "Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years."However, many scientists who specialize in ageing are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. "It remains to be seen if you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life?" said Leonard Pooh, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology(老龄学) Center. "At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all."72.By saying "we are knocking at the door of immortality", Michael Zey means ________.A.they believe that there is no limit of livingB.they are sure to find the truth about long livingC.they have got some ideas about living foreverD.they are able to make people live past the present life span73.Donald Louria's attitude towards long living is that ________.A.people can live from 120 to 180 yearsB.it is still doubtful how long humans can liveC.the human body is designed to last about 120 yearsD.it is possible for humans to live longer in the future74.The underlined "it"(paragraph 4)refers to ________.A.a great pushB.the idea of living beyond the present life spanC.the idea of living from 200 to 300 yearsD.the conservative estimate75.What would be the best title for this text?A.Living Longer or Not B.Science, Technology and Long LivingC.No Limit for Human Life D.Healthy Lifestyle and Long Living第二卷(共35分)第五部分 : 写作(共两节,满分35分)第一节 任务型读写(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填写一个单词。Traveling to all corners of the world gets easier and easier.
