　　Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节)

　　第一节　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。

　　(2016·河北衡水中学模拟)To American visitors，Iceland is a very interesting country，partly because it is different in so many ways from what he or she is used to seeing at home.There are quite a few things that are not done，or that do not exist on the island—quite a few “No’s”．

　　There is no pollution，for instance.No dogs are permitted in Reykjavik，the capital.There is no television on Thursdays or during the entire month of July，and only three hours of black­and­white TV the rest of the time.There is no hard liquor (烈酒) on Wednesdays and no beer at any time.There are no handguns，only one jail of thirty­five cells (狱室) in the entire land—an admirable figure，even for a small country of 313,376 people.

　　There is no army，air force or navy.There is no tipping for anything.There are no large stores open on Saturdays or Sundays.Since Iceland is situated just under the Arctic Circle，there is no darkness in summer and no daylight in winter.But thanks to Gulf Stream，the climate is rather mild，with temperatures ranging from 34 degrees to 52 degrees in July.

　　The rules on television，liquor and guns are the result of government decisions.But the absence of pollution is due in great part to the fact that Iceland gets its power from the enormous geyser.They provide all the energy needed by the country.In fact，Iceland uses only 3 percent of all the available power of its hot springs.

　　Iceland has been described as a democratic independent country where more fish are caught and more books are published per person than anywhere else in the world.The Icelanders have always felt a particular love for literature.They composed their first books in the ninth and tenth centuries AD.These works were poems and tales about the kings，heroes，and heroines of Iceland and Norway.At first，the stories were memorized and passed from generation to generation.They were finally written down between 1140 and 1220.The Icelanders have never stopped writing ever since.“Rather shoeless than bookless，” they proudly say.

　　第二节　根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

　　学习网Before going outside in the morning，many of us check a window thermometer (温度计) for the temperature.This helps us decide what to wear.1.

　　We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator.We want it a certain hotness in the oven.If we don’t feel well，we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever.We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.

　　Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature.We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale.But most other countries use the Centigrade scale.

　　Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide.2.

　　The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury (水银) inside a clear glass tube.As mercury (or any other liquid) becomes hot，it expands.As it gets colder，it contracts (收缩)．That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube.3.

　　First.Take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap fill the bottle with coloured water.Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail.Put the cap on the jar.Then stick a plastic straw (吸管) through the nail hole.4.

　　Finally.Place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw.Now you can see the water lever easily.5.

　　As the temperature goes down，the water will contract，and the lever in the straw will come down.Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water lever in the straw each morning for a week.

　　A．We use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other things.

　　B．Thermometers measure temperature，by using materials that change in the same way when they are heated or cooled.

　　C．Now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work.

　　D．The water will rise in the straw.As the temperature of the air goes up，the water will expand and rise even higher.

　　E．They label these in different ways.On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees.On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees.

　　F．Take wax (you may use an old candle if you have one) and melt some of it right where the straw is struck into the cap to seal (把……粘住) them together.

　　G．People use thermometers which are made by themselves when travelling around the world.

　　Ⅱ.完形填空

　　阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。

　　At the beginning，Inuit throat singing was a form of entertainment enjoyed by Inuit women while the men were away on hunting trips.It was an activity that

　　1

　　involved Inuit women although there have been some men doing it as well.It was regarded more as a type of vocal (有声的) or breathing game in the Inuit culture rather than a form of

　　2

　　.

　　Inuit throat singing is generally done by two individuals but can

　　3

　　four or more people together as well.In Inuit throat singing，two Inuit women

　　4

　　each other either standing or crouching (蹲伏) down while holding each other’s arms.One

　　6

　　.The leader repeats sounds with short gaps in between.The follower fills in these

　　7

　　with her own rhythmic sounds.

　　Sometimes both Inuit women would be doing a

　　8

　　movement like rocking from left to right in throat singing.Both Inuktitut words and

　　9

　　syllables are used in Inuit throat singing songs.However，when words are used in throat singing，no particular meaning is

　　10

　　on them for a song.

　　11

　　meaningless syllables are used，they often stand for the sounds the Inuit hear in their

　　12

　　environment such as animal sounds or even water running down a creek.

　　Inuit throat singing is a skill that has to be

　　13

　　and developed.Inuit throat singers try to show their vocal abilities in a fun

　　14

　　manner and the first one to either run out of breath，stop or laugh is declared the

　　15

　　of the game.Each game usually lasts from one to three minutes.

　　16

　　，there is no written record of when the Inuit first developed their form of throat singing.The Inuit did not

　　17

　　any written records and Inuit throat singing was simply passed down from generation to generation

　　18

　　.

　　Many of the young Inuit women who have

　　19

　　throat singing claim that it is a way for them to

　　20

　　their Inuit identities in the modern world where many Inuit traditions have already been lost.
