Long, long ago, there was a war between gods and a bad monster (怪物). It lasted ten years. One day, the gods were surprised to find that the monster was coming towards them. The goat god Pan shouted a warning and tried to change himself into a fish. One god, Aphrodite, took her little boy Eros and tried to hide among the bushes near Euphrates River. She was the god of love and her son was the god of war. It is said that two fish swam to carry Aphrodite and her child to safety. Some people also believe that Aphrodite and Eros changed into fish themselves and swam away to safety. Later the fish represent Aphrodite and her son Eros. As they appeared in the sky, the two fish were tied together by a rope (绳子). Some said that Aphrodite tied the little boy to her body so that he would not get lost as they swam away to safety. That’s the story about Pisces. In Western countries, some people believe people will share similar characteristics if they have the same star sign. So if you’re born between February 19th and March 20th, your star sign is Pisces. It means that you are generous, easy-going and creative. ( ) 51. What does the underlined word ‘legend’ mean in paragraph One? A. an old story B. a famous person C. a war D. a star ( ) 52. Why were the two fish tied together by a rope according to the some people? A. Two fish swam up to carry Aphrodite and her to safety. 5 B. The monster tied them together. C. Aphrodite tied the little boy to her body so that he would not get lost. D. The goat god Pan tied them together. ( ) 53. If Tom was born on March 8th, 1983, he may share the following characteristics EXCEPT being __________. A. generous B. easy-going C. creative D. smart B People have been interested in color and its effects for hundreds of years. More recently, research has turned to the question of how different colors can help students learn better. Believe it or not, some colors can affect a child's IQ (智商). For example, a simple black and white color scheme may cause IQ to become low, while the good use of reds and oranges may raise it as much as 15 polnts2 Be careful n ot to use too much, however ； a little red is exciting, but too much makes people uncomfortable. Bright yellow is exciting to the brain, while the color green is thought to encourage creativity. Use blue and green to calm yourself. Blue, especially, can cause you to calm down. Something blue in a reading area, for example, may help you focus (集中于) on what you are reading. But too much dark blue can make you sad, so use light blue on walls or largefloor areas. If you are struggling to read, try a different color of paper. According to a study, 80 percent of children who had difficulty in reading improved their understanding when they put something grey or blue over their pages. Do not use bright colors here, as they become difficult to look at after a while. However, use bright colors like red, orange and yellow for important points. These colors attract the eye and may help you notice details. The same color of the wails of a room do riot help you focus on your studies, but make you slow in understanding. Colors, on the other hand, make the senses active and encourage learning. Use primary colors red, yellow and blue in a proper Way. Then how do you make your choices of color? It mainly depends on your space, the lighting and the function （作用，功能）of the room. ( )54. The color grey may help you________. A. read better B. calm down C. raise IQ D. feel creative ( )55. If you want to remember some important facts, you may use the colors________. A. green and blue B. grey and blue C. red and yellow D. black and white ( )56. Which is most important when you choose the color for your room? A. Your IQ and abilities. B. The use of your room. C. Your likes and dislikes. D. The location of your room. ( )57. Which might be the proper tide for the passage? A. What should we learn about colors? B. Why are people interested in colors? C. Where should' we be careful with colors? D. How do colors affect our learning abilities? C In most situations, light helps us to see. But nowadays humans are using too much of it so that it is in fact a kind of pollution. When we look at the night sky, too much light makes it difficult for us to watch some most wonderful sights: stars, planets and even galaxies. According to scientific research, about 2,500 stars can be seen by the human eyes without any special equipment. But because of light pollution, you can only see 200 to 300 stars from today’s countryside, and no more than ten stars from a city. In most big cities, people cannot see the sky filled with stars like they did in their childhood. Light pollution affects more than just our view of sky. Research shows that lots of nighttime light can harm wildlife, too. When birds fly to another place over cities, they sometimes get lost by the brightness and fly in circles until they drop from tiredness. Sea tortoises need dark beaches for laying eggs, but they can’t find their ideal places because of those bright lights. Too much light at night may even affect human health, but scientists are not sure of that. They are still learning more. In order to prevent things from going worse, governments and some organizations are working to reduce 6 light pollution. Many cities and towns have taken action to reduce the use of lights at night. Lights are used only when and where they are truly needed. They also shine lights down at the ground instead of up into the sky and use lower brightness levels. Hopefully, in the near future, humans can enjoy the clear and beautiful sky again and all the wildlife will live a peaceful and undisturbed life, too. ( ) 58. Why does the writer think that too much light is a kind of pollution? A. Because there are fewer and fewer stars. B. Because some of the wildlife can be harmed. C. Because too much light is a waste of energy. D. Because scientists think human health has been affected. ( ) 59. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage? A. The problems that light pollution has caused. B. The reason why humans use too much light. C. The ways that light pollution can be reduced. D. The reason why fewer stars can be seen than before. ( ) 60. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. There are about 2,500 stars in the sky. B. Humans want to do nothing to reduce light pollution. C. Sea tortoises always get lost and die from tiredness. D. Something has been done to reduce light pollution. ( ) 61. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Light pollution B. Stars, planets and galaxies C. Nighttime light D. Scientific research D Next time, when you get stuck (堵塞) behind a slow driver, look at the colour of his car. It will probably be green. American researchers (研究者) have found that green cars are chosen by stubborn drivers who dislike to get out of the way for anybody. They also complain about the way others drive. The study also shows that bright red cars are usually driven by outgoing people who hate being overtaken (赶超). And, it is said that yellow cars are always in a hurry. Drivers of yellow cars will not wait when they get stuck. They will turn off (离开) the road and try to find another way. Blue is the colour chosen by the relaxed drivers. It’s hardly（几乎不） possible for them to get angry with other drivers and they will almost certainly stop before the red light. Black was the only colour available (可提供的) when cars were first sold. Many people remember that Henry Ford, the producer of the first cars, once said “Any colour—so long as (只要) it’s black” when someone asked about what colour car he could have. Now black has become a popular colour in some countries. ( )62. The passage mainly talks about . A. colours of cars B. drivers’ favourite colours C. cars and drivers D. colours of cars and drivers ( )63. How many colours are mentioned (提及) in the passage ? A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six. ( )64. What will blue car drivers do when they get stuck according to the passage? A. They will complain about others’ driving way. B. They will turn off the road and try to find another way. C. They will get very angry with others. D. They will not get angry and will stop to wait. ( )65. Which is true about black cars? A. Black car drivers are outgoing. B. Henry Ford preferred black cars to any other colour cars. C. Ford sells only black cars. D. Black is said to be popular by few people. 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题 共 60 分) 五．词汇（本题共 15 小题；每小题 1 分,满分 15 分） A、请根据句意或括号中的中文提示、英文释义，写出句中所缺单词 1.My father __________ (喜欢)spicy (辛辣的) food to sweet food when he was young. 7 2.
