A B C D

[解析] 在名词与基数词合成的前置定语中，不管基数词是否大于1，其中的名词都用单数，并且连字符“一”不能省略，所以应表示为two-week。因此表示“一个双周的假期”用a two-week holiday，故选D。

A B C D

[解析] 根据下一句“But one day he got into trouble”可知，这里前后两句存在转折关系，所以此处选择happy，故选B。

D.followed

A B C D

[解析] see sb. doing sth. 表示“看到某人正在做某事”，强调的是“正在”；see sb. do sth. 表示“看到某人做某事”，强调的是看到了全过程。此处表示“看到一只狗正在跟着自己”，所以选择following，故选C。

Ⅳ. Reading Comprehension
Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Passage One
Man's first real invention, and one of the most important inventions in history, was the wheel. All transportation and every machine in the world depend on it. The wheel is the simplest yet perhaps the most remarkable of all inventions, because there are no wheels in nature-no living thing was ever created with wheels. How, then, did man come to invent the wheel? Perhaps some early hunters found that they could roll the carcass of a heavy animal through the forest on logs more easily than they could carry it. However, the logs themselves weighed a lot.
It must have taken a great prehistoric thinker to imagine two thin slices of log connected, at their centers by a string stick. This would roll along just as the logs did, yet be much lighter and easier to handle. Thus the wheel and axle came into being and with them the first carts.

1. The wheel is important because ______.

A.it was man's first real invention
B.all transportation depends on it
C.every machine depends on it
D.both B and C

A B C D

[解析] 参考文章第二句。

2. The wheel is called ______.

A.simple
B.complicated
C.strange
D.unusual

A B C D

[解析] 参考文章第一段，其中说到，“轮子在自然界中是不存在的”，所以最能说明轮子的就是“unusual”。

3. It was remarkable of man to invent the wheel because ______.

A.it led to many other inventions
B.man had no use for it then
C.there were no wheels in nature
D.all of the above

A B C D

4. The wheel was probably invented by ______.

A.a group of early hunters
B.the first men on earth
C.a great prehistoric thinker
D.the man who made the first cart

A B C D

[解析] 参考文章第五句。

Passage Two
Nature has devised many ways to protect creatures' eyes. The most common protection is the eyelid—a fold of skin that closes over the eye, protecting it from damage. Eyelashes are useful for keeping out dust and other irritants, and tears wash away any particles that get through the other defenses.
Some creatures, including most birds, have three eyelids. The upper and lower lids act like human lids and keep out twigs, dirt and sand. The third eyelid, however, is a semitransparent tissue that crosses over the eye from the inside corner to the outside corner. Because of this protective membrane, birds seldom have to blink. They close their eyes only when they go to sleep. In ducks, this third eyelid self as an underwater diving mask that helps the ducks find food.
Most fish and snakes have no eyelids at all. Instead, a hard glassy covering protects their eyes. In fish, water constantly sweeps away dirt from the covering. And a snake's eyesight is usually so bad that a little dirt obscuring its vision does not disturb it greatly.
Eyelashes defend the eye by shading it from glare. They also act like miniature brushes to remove dust. Camels have lashes that are four inches long to protect their eyes from windblown sand in the desert.

1. A camel has long eyelashes ______.

A.to keep windblown sand out of its eyes
B.that get in the way of its sight
C.to help it see better
D.to attract other camels

A B C D

[解析] 最后一段最后一句。骆驼的眼睫毛如此长是为了挡住沙漠中大风吹起的沙子。选项A是正确的。

2. The writer implies that eyelids are ______.

A.not found on lizards
B.nice to look at
C.always covered with eyelashes
D.the most effective eye protection

A B C D

[解析] 作者说，大多数的鱼和蛇没有眼皮，但并未说所有的蜥蜴都没有眼皮，排除选项A。第一段说眼皮和眼睫毛都是保护眼睛的；第二段说有些动物如鸟类有三层眼皮，但并未说睫毛；第三段说有些动物没有眼皮；第四段说骆驼的睫毛长。这些都未提及有眼皮就肯定有睫毛，排除选项C。选项D是正确的。

3. The author compares the duck's third eyelid to a ______.

A.tissue
B.glassy covering
C.tiny brush
D.diving mask

A B C D

[解析] 第二段最后。鸭子的第三层眼皮如同潜水罩。选项D是正确的。

4. A good title for this passage would be ______.

A.Look Out
B.Birds' Eyes
C.Eyes in the Night
D.Protecting the Eye

A B C D

[解析] 选项B是错的。文章不光讨论了鸟，也讨论了鱼、蛇等；文章讨论的焦点不是眼睛而是眼皮。选项D是正确的。文章讨论了保护眼睛的是什么。

Passage Three
Mr. Smith gave his wife ten pound for her birthday —ten pretty pound notes. So the day after her birthday, Mrs Smith went shopping. She queued for a bus, got on and sat down next to an old lady.

So she quickly looked into her own bag — the notes were gone! Mrs Smith was sure that the old lady who was sitting next to her had stolen them.

Passage Four
BEIJING(Associated Press)—China has a growing middle class, a tradition (传统) of expecting education and 21 million new babies every year. Selling educational toys should be easy.
While China may be the world's biggest toy-maker, much of the best is exported (出口). Department stores here do not have enough high-quality toys. It is said that the demand for educational toys is low.

"We want to build a seven-year relationship with those people," said Matthew J. Estes, BabyCare's president. "It starts during pregnancy (孕期), when the anxiety and needs are highest." BabyCare works on a one-to-one basis. Doctors, nurses, and teachers (paid by BabyCare) advise parents, explaining toys that are designed for children at each stage (阶段) of development to age six.
BabyCare opened its first store in China last June in a shopping center in central Beijing and another near Beijing Zoo. It plans to have 80 stores in China within six years.
