　　【四川省凉山州2017第二次诊断性测试】

　　阅读下面五篇短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

　　Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major cause of climate change, and

　　now a new study has confirmed that atmospheric CO2 is also affecting the ocean chemistry and

　　potentially harming sea life.

　　Montana State University scientist Robert Dore has been researching the water in the Pacific

　　Ocean for almost two decades. "We've been going to the same spot in the Pacific Ocean, and we

　　try and characterize long-term change in the open ocean environment. And one of the key things

　　that we measure is COx levels. And We've been able to record this increasing quantity of

　　atmospheric CO, into the ocean. "Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased, more and一

　　more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean, affecting the chemical balance of

　　the sea water, with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in particular.

　　"As carbon dioxide dissolves in the water, or seawater in this case, it forms a weak acid,

　　carbonic acid," Dore explains. "And therefore, as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere goes

　　up and that exchanges with the surface seawater, it drives the pH down, and makes it more

　　acidic."

　　The seawater samples Dow and his colleagues have analyzed confirm what the theory predicts.

　　The effect was particular striking at about 250 meters down, and again at 500 meters. Dore and

　　his colleagues came up with two possible explanations. It could be that surface water picked up

　　CO2 and then moved to those depths. Or there could be a biological explanation.

　　"It's important to realize that the oceans are really becoming acidic. And it can have

　　negative impacts on a whole variety of sea life from fish to coral. It’s potentially catastrophic."

　　35. What can be the best title of the passage?

　　A. Sea Life Facing Danger

　　B. Scientist Researching Seawater

　　C. Oceans Becoming More Acidic D. Climate Change Affecting Seawater

　　36. With the increase of atmospheric C02，＿．

　　A. more corals will appear in the sea

　　B. the surface water is becoming warmer

　　C. the chemical balance of the seawater is affected

　　D. the pH of the ocean out here has been increasing

　　37. Which of the following shows the process of the impact of atmospheric C02 on sea life?

　　a. Sea life is endangered. b. C02 goes into the surface water.

　　c. The ocean chemistry is affected. d. C02 levels in the atmosphere go up

　　第一节: 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

　　A

　　Mr. Patrick was new to the school and to us. Even though he was a great teacher, he seemed rather like a character out of a horror movie. He didn’t look that bad, but somehow, he looked extremely scary to me.

　　Some kids began to believe that he was a murderer or a ghost; some believed he was mad and a few believed that he might have suffered a lot in his life. I was one of those ‘few’.

　　One day I gathered up my courage and headed towards the school garden. He was, as usual, sitting on a bench alone. I breathed heavily a few times and then walked towards him.

　　“How are you?” I asked with my voice crackling.

　　He managed to say, “Fine.”

　　“Well, good to know,” I tried to be happy.

　　“Hmmm…” was all I heard.

　　“What’s up with you?” then seeing a puzzled look on his face, I tried to be more formal and respectful. “I mean, why aren’t you like all other people in the school? Why are you always so quiet and sad? Why…”

　　“No dear, some things are better left unsaid,” he said gloomily.

　　“Oh no sir, nothing is better left unsaid. If you want to share your feelings with me and reduce the pain of your heart, you are free to do so. I promise I will never ever tell anyone.”

　　“With you? You are just a little girl; what will you understand?”

　　I was somehow offended but still I managed to persuade him, “So what, Sir? You see, if you tell me your problem, you will have a light heart and you will have the feeling that someone somewhere cares about you.”

　　“Oh okay, that was a very nice belief indeed; let’s take a walk and I will let you know everything.”

　　Soon after our little talk, there was a visible change on his face. Later that day in the class, there was a smile on his face.

　　56. From the text, we can know about Mr. Patrick that he

　　.

　　A. once acted a character in a horror movie

　　【云南省昆明市2017一模试卷】D

　　Of the several films Hirokazu has made about childhood and children, this one is the most modest, but no less pleasing for its delicate style and small setting. I Wish was originally called Miracle, and the change is for the better. The two-word title makes you want to know who's wishing for what, while the single word sounds plain and self-praising. This wise and funny film works small miracles in describing such a moment when kids turn from the wishfulness of childhood into shaping the world for themselves.

　　The sweetly reflective hero, a sixth-grader named Koichi, starts out by wishing for a volcano to erupt. Not just any volcano, but the one that towers above his town, smoking heavily and giving off ash. An eruption would lead to a withdrawing, which would lead, at least in his mind, to a reunion with his father and kid brother, who've been living in Hakata while Koichi lives with his mother and retired grandparents in Kagoshima. The volcano, knowing nothing of this, refuses to erupt, but Koichi hears of another approach to realizing the desired miracle.

　　One of the pleasures of I Wish is watching how kids behave — how Koichi attacks his dinner, for example. Another pleasure is rediscovering how kids think. These kids can be logical and ever so tricky. But children's thought processes can also be fancy. A boy wishes he could play baseball like one of baseball stars, who eats curry for breakfast; so he, too, starts eating curry for breakfast, instead of practicing on the field. Another boy tries to wish his dead dog, Marble, back to life. And what does Koichi finally wish for? I wish you'd see this delightful film to find out.

　　13. Why has the name of the film been changed from Miracle to I Wish?

　　A. The former is ambiguous and self-praising.

　　B. The latter is easier to arouse audience's interest.

　　C. The latter is easy for audience to remember.

　　D. The former isn't related to the content of the film.

　　14 Koichi wishes the volcano to erupt so that he can _______ .

　　A. enjoy the wonderful scene of a volcano

　　B. help those who suffer from the eruption

　　C. get together with his family members

　　D. work miracles during the disaster

　　15. What does the writer intend to do in this text?

　　A. To share pleasures of watching a film.

　　B. To make a review on a film.

　　C. To discuss kids' behavior and thoughts.

　　D. To recommend a film.

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项标号涂黑。

　　Henry Ford grew up on an un-electrified farm, and as a young man he followed Edison's career as the inventor became a national role model．Ford took a job at the Edison Illuminating Company working his way up to chief engineer．

　　In 1896 Ford was thirty-three and, though still working for Edison Co．,he had created his first experimental automobile the Ford Quadricycle2 during his off-time． At an Edison company party in New York, Ford had his first chance to meet his hero Edison and was able to explain his new automobile to the great inventor． Edison was impressed． Edison is said to have slammed his fist down and shouted ¨Young man, that's the thing! You have it! Your car is self-contained and carries its own power plant．" Edison himself had been working on the idea, but had only been considering electricity as the power source, so the idea of a gas engine was a somewhat new one．

　　The words comforted Ford greatly, who immediately set out building a second car which was to become the Model-T．6．The two men became f'ast friends and would go on camping trips together．When Edison later became limited to a wheelchair, Ford brought an extra one to his house so they could race．At the 50th anniversary of the invention of light-bulb, Ford honored Edison．When Edison spoke, he ended his speech directed at Ford:“ As to Henry Ford, words fail to express my feelings．I can only say that he is my friend．" Therefore it is no surprise that Ford wanted something to remember Edison by after he passed away in 1931．

　　Once, Ford asked Thomas Edison's son Charles to sit by the dying inventor's bedside and hold a test tube next to his father's mouth to catch his final breath． Ford was a man with many strange behaviors（ as was Edison）including some interest in reanimation and spiritualism（夏活通灵术）and some say that he was attempting to catch Edison's soul as it escaped his body in hopes of later bringing the inventor back to life．

　　The test tube itself didn't turn up until 1950 when it was listed in the Ford possessions after Clara Ford's passing away, and then lost again until 1978 when it was discovered in an exhibit Entitled “Henry Ford-A Personal History"

　　in the Henry Ford Museum．It would then be discovered that the tube was labeled “Edison's Last Breath"．

　　There is a further mystery of this “last breath"

　　test tube． It would seem as if Edison had quite a last breath indeed, as the Edison Estate holds a collection of 42 test tubes all supposedly containing Edison's last breath．

　　Regardless of the excitement over the last breath, the test tube is quite touching in its meaning．Although both men were known for all sorts of poor behavior towards ．their loved ones and mistreatment of employees, between them at least, there was clearly a deep respect and admiration．

　　41．The passage can be sorted as a

　　．

　　A．science research

　　B．short story

　　C．news report

　　D．self-introduction

　　42．From the underlined sentence in Paragraph2 we can learn that

　　．

　　A．Edison envied what Ford had achieved

　　B．Edison was annoyed that Ford did better him

　　C．Edison was angry because Ford stole his idea

　　D．Edison was extremely amazed at Ford's new idea

　　43．In Paragraph 3,the writer mentions Ford bought an extra wheelchair

　　．

　　A．to remind Edison was Ford's role model

　　B．to suggest Ford was a man of strange behavior

　　C．to tell us the importance of a creative idea then

　　D．to show the close friendship between Henry Ford and Edison

　　44．¨The 61ast breath' test tube" can probably be regarded as

　　．

　　A．a symbol of a friendship and memory

　　B．a witness to a scientific breakthrough

　　C．a failure to bring Edison back to life

　　D．a sign of the two inventors' poor behavior

　　45．It can be learned from the last paragraph that“

　　” ．
