A
The hottest cities in the world
The locations below are the hottest and also travel destinations on the planet.
Bangkok
According to the data, Bangkok is the hottest city on the planet — not because of any
particularly impressive high temperatures, but because it is consistently hot all the year round. The
city has an average annual temperature of 29℃, coupled with high dampness and an average of 128
rainy days per year; while the highest temperature on record is 40℃.
Timbuktu, Mali
Located on the southern edge of the Sahara Desert, the African city of Timbuktu is similar to
everything remote. It’s also one of the hottest cities in the world, with a hot, dry climate offering
record highs of 49℃. Throughout April, May and June, average maximum temperatures are beyond
40℃. Modern-day Timbuktu is slowly being swallowed by the desert and is certainly a shadow of
the trade center that it once was.
Ahvaz, Iran
Built on the bank of the Karun River, Ahvaz is an industrial city with average highs of around
46℃ during July, its warmest month. The city’s record high is 54℃, making it one of the world’s
hottest cities during the summer. Frequent sand and dust storms and an absence of rain from July to
September mix with its sky-high temperatures.
Kuwait City
The wealthy capital of Kuwait is another competitor for the title of the world’s hottest
summertime city with average highs of over 45℃ from June to August. Nightfall brings little
respite(缓解), with after-dark low temperatures often over 30℃ during the summer months. Kuwait
City’s record high is 52℃, while it rains on an average of just 19 days per year.
1 .What is the Bangkok famous for in climate?
A. The highest temperature.B. The hot weather all year round.
C. The highest annual temperature.
D. The lack of rainfall all year round.
2 .Why is Timbuktu no longer a trade center?
A. The small population of Mali.
B. The war lasting for many years.
C. The influence of the Sahara.
D. Its location of the center of a desert.
3.Which city holds the record of the highest temperature?
A. Ahvaz. B. Bangkok. C. Timbuktu. D. Kuwait City.
B
The other day I was shopping at the local Chinese grocery store. There was a line at the fish
counter, but only one staff person was there to take care of the customers. Some customers ordered
quite an amount of fish for that staff person to work on. At last I was the second in line: all I wanted
was a couple of crabs and should get out of there in no time.
Noticing it was very busy at the fish counter, another staff person came over to help. I was
ready to be served, but the staff person went to the end of the line and began to help a couple of
ladies with snail (蜗牛). The customers in front of me, being served, turned around and looked at me
sympathetically and the customer behind me called to the staff person, “You should start here,”
pointing at me. He was, well, ignored.
If someone asked me, “What is the most important rule to follow in America?” I would reply
without hesitation. “Wait your turn at all times.” Wherever you go here in this country, you will find
people waiting in a line quietly to get anything: whether in the supermarkets, department stores, bus
stops, or gas stations, it’s just a matter of waiting your turn. In a larger sense, “wait your turn” is
more than just a guideline — it is a very basic rule that reflects the fundamental value of the western
cultures. But in some situations your turn does not always come based on when you get there and
how long you have waited in line, just like my case at the store. Even though this did not often
happen, it did make me feel upset.
4.What happened to the author at the store?
A. He wasn’t served upon his order.
B. He was ill-treated by a customer.
C. He was asked to be served later.
D. He was asked to do others a favor.5.What is the author’s opinion about Queuing Rule?
A. Wait until being served. B. Serve people as one likes.
C. First come, later served. D. Wait until your turn comes.
6.What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. His belief. B. His culture. C. His experience. D. His rule.
7.Why did the author write the text?
A. To emphasize his kindness to others.
B. To express his belief and his feelings.
C. To show his disbelief in Queuing Rule.
D. To introduce some western culture to us.
C
One of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to have friends, you have
to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school?
Listen — Listen when they are talking. Don’t say anything unless they ask you a question.
Sometimes it’s not necessary for you to have anything to say; they just need someone to talk to about
their feelings.
Help them — If your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try
to put them first, but make sure you don’t do everything they want you to do. Try to take an extra
pencil or pen with you to classes in case they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in
case they forget something they need.
Be there for them — Be there for your friends to help make them feel better in hard times.
Marilyn Monroe, a famous U.S. actor, once said, “I often make mistakes. Sometimes I am out of
control, but if you can’t stay with me at my worst, you are sure not to deserve to be with me at my
best.” Always remember this! If you don’t want to stay with your friends when they’re in hard times,
then you don’t deserve to be with them when they’re having a good time!
Make plans — Try to make plans with your friends. Go shopping, go for ice cream, have a party,
go to a movie and so on. Take time to know each other even better by doing something you both
enjoy. By planning things together, you both can have a good time. And you’ll remember these
things when you’re all old!
8. While your friend is talking to you about his or her feelings, you should ______.
A. give him or her some advice
B. calm him or her down
C. just listen unless asked
D. share your feelings as well9. When we provide help for our friends, we should ______.
A. put them before ourselves
B. try to do everything for them
C. change their bad habits first
D. ignore their faults
10. What can we learn from Marilyn Monroe’s words?
A. Life without a friend is death.
B. A friend is easier lost than found.
C. A man is known by his friends.
D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
11. What is probably the best title for the test?
A. How to find a good friend.
B. How to be a good friend.
C. How to help friends in trouble.
D. How to make more friends.
D
Even plant can run a fever, especially when they’re under attack by insects or disease. But
unlike human, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away straight up. A decade
ago, adopting the infrared(红外线) scanning technology developed for military purposes and other
satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to
determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely( 精 确 的 ) target
pesticide(杀虫剂) spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which always includes plants
that don’t have pest problems.
Even better, Paley’s Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before
they became visible to the eye. Fixed on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner
measured the heat sent out by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing
where plants were running “fevers”. Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less
pesticide that they otherwise would.
The bad news is that Paley’s company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers
resisted the new technology and long-term supporters were hard to find. But with the renewed
concern about pesticides on produce and refinements(改进) in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get
back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt that the technology works. “This technique
can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States,” says George Oerther of Texas
A& M, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial support
which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.
12. Plants will give out an increased amount of heat when they are _____.
A. facing an infrared scanner
B. sprayed with pesticides
C. exposed to extreme sun rays
D. in poor physical condition
13. In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to _____.
A. draw a color-coded map
B. evaluate the damage to the crops
C. locate the problem area
D. measure the size of the affected area
14. The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some
difficulties of _____.
A. the lack of official support
B. its high cost
C. the lack of financial support
D. its failure to help increase production
15. Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of _____.
A. full support from agricultural experts
B. the forceful promotion by the Department of Agriculture
C. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produce
D. growing concern about the over use of pesticides on crops

China is strengthening its image as the most important market for the auto industry.Industry
observers are predicting total sales of over 20 million vehicles this year.
By comparison,a little more than 15 million vehicles are expected to be sold in the United
States.The importance of the Chinese market could be seen last month at the Shanghai auto show,
industry representatives there were showing products design to meet China's growing demand for
luxury cars,and larger vehicles.
Dave Schoch is with Ford Motor company.He welcomed the chance to meet with thousands of
possible car buyers.
Many Chinese see cars as a sign of success.Yale Zhang is with automotive foresight-an
industry group.He says the rising demand for top quality automobiles is a sign of China's rise as an economic superpower.
“This market is becoming more like European or American style.”Demand has been especially
high for larger sport utility vehicles(SUV's).Karsten Engel is head of the BMW group in China.He
says the spaces insides of SUV's appeal to the newly rich,although some will probably never drive
them.“The ultimate driving machine,you probably experience a lot from the rear seat with your
driver,so you need more space,you want more space.You want to have the possibility to work in the
car.”
The demand for larger cars is strong,yet environmental issues and fuel concerns are leading to
increased interest in vehicles with better fuel economy.Nissan's Asia Vice President Andy Palmer
said,“Four years ago,when we introduced the concept of the electric car,most of our colleagues in
the industry thought that we had lost our minds.Now it doesn't look so stupid,you know?”
For now,observers say new hybrid and electric technology is not a major force in the Chinese
market.New information shows sales of SUV's are up nearly 50 percent from a year ago,and experts
says SUV sales are likely to double by 2015.
16.In the eyes of many Chinese,having a car means________.
A.the owner was born in wealth B.the owner must be a millionaire
C.the owner must be successful D.the owner is good at driving
17.The fact that more and more Chinese choose cars of high quality shows________.
A.people want to protect the environment
B.Chinese top quality cars are cheaper
C.Chinese economy is developing rapidly
D.Chinese don't drive ordinary cars any more
18.Who first supported pollutionfree cars according to the passage?
A.Dave Schoch. B.Yale Zhang.
C.Karsten Engel. D.Andy Palmer.
19.Why is SUV more and more popular?
A.Because it is expensive. B.Because it uses less fuel.
C.Because it provides much space. D.Because it is environmental friendly.
20.The passage is mainly to tell us________.
A.more and more Chinese want to buy expensive cars
B.China is becoming the world's most important Auto market

D.larger cars will be the first choice for car buyers

How to stay focused in class
Being relaxed during class is a bad habit, and it is also bad to your grade. Focusing in class not
only proves to teachers that you are a capable student but also shows that you have the ability to
control yourself, which will be very important.
21 No matter how much you want to sit with your friends during the class, try your best
to avoid them. Talking with friends around you is not going to give you the focus in class. This will
get you into trouble.
Look at teacher and make eye contact. Your teacher is not just standing up there talking.
21 Show the teacher that he or she has your full attention by looking them in the eye. This person
should have your full attention at all times during class.
Take notes. By taking notes, you’ll be able to “get into” the lesson. Write down key points as
your teacher speaks. And listen to the key phrases such as “This is important” “This is the main
idea” “This will be the test” etc. 23
Get involved in class discussions. This is a wonderful way to become a more focused,
successful student. When a teacher asks a question, offer to answer it. 24 This shows the
teacher that you are listening carefully during the class.
Ask a question. 25 This really shows your teacher that you want to be better, and
can recognize the things you are having difficulty with. Chances are that someone else in the class
has the same question (and was too afraid to ask!). They’ll be relieved, and so will you.
A. Avoid sitting with friends.
B. This can help you listen more attentively.
C. If he or she ask for an opinion, share your own.
D. Talking with friends makes you lose interest in class.
E. He or she is trying to give you an acceptable education.
F. The more quickly you answer, the more attention you pay.
G. If you don’t understand something, never be afraid to ask.

When I was a boy there were no smart phones or computers. Still, I never felt bored. The fields,

away, but my 40 felt like feathers. I 41 into the house with a big smile just in time for

Should naps(小睡) actually 46 (take) during the day? Well, we certainly know from 47
(evident) in the sleep center and that of many other scientists that naps can give you benefits for both
your brain 48 your body. But naps can actually be 49 double-edged sword
because while we’re awake during the day, we’re building up sleepiness or sleep pressure. So when
you try to fall asleep at night, you’ll fall asleep quickly and then you’ll stay asleep. And when we
sleep, we actually release that sleepiness so that we wake up the next morning feeling 50
(refresh).
So if you take a nap during the day, especially if you take it too late in the afternoon, you will
actually release some of that sleepiness and it will make it much 51 (hard) to fall asleep
and stay asleep soundly throughout the night. So the advice would be if you don’t struggle with your
sleep and you can nap 52 (regular), then naps are just fine.
But if you do find it difficult 53 (fall) asleep or stay asleep at night, then you should
avoid naps and try to build up that healthy sleepiness in the evening.
The ideal nap depends on 54 you want from that nap. Different stages of sleep
actually give you different types of brain and body 55 (benefit).周测英语答案
