第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，每小题2分，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Passage A
Living and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.
If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let the other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, your relationship drifts apart. When you are mad at your parents or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve anything．
Communication begins with the concerns of another. It means that you can’t just come home from school, go up to your room and talk to nobody. Even if you just say “Hi” and see how their day is for five minutes, it is better than nothing. If you look up the word “communication” in the dictionary, it will say “the exchange of ideas, conveyance (传递) of information, correspondence (通信), means of communication; a letter or message”. To keep a good relationship, you must keep the communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it’s just by writing a note. When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as parents. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Shouting or walking away only makes the situation worse.
Here is an example. One night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks. but they didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, but when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren’t as mad and let the incident munication was the key factor here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.
Communication isn’t a one-way deal. It goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, telling the other person how you feel and listening are key factors to communication．
1. The second paragraph mainly talks about ________．
A. the importance of friendship
B. making your feelings known to others
C. the importance of communication
D. the disagreement between generations
2. The key to happy relationship between parents and children is that ________．
A. children should always obey their parents
B. parents play the leading part
C. parents should mind their own business
D. both should make the other know their feelings
3. The example in the passage proves that ________．
A. Sophie’s parents were willing to listen to her
B Sophie was very polite to her parents
C. Sophie did the right thing when she explained the reason of her being late
D. communication is the key to solving misunderstanding
4. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT ________．
A. if you don’t agree with others，you’d better let them know
B. it is better to say “Hi” to others than to say nothing
C. if you are too busy to communicate, just walk away
D. communication is a two-way deal
Passage B
Hints on safety
Nearly everyone is attracted to water, whether it is the sea, canals, rivers or the village pond. Beautiful as it is, water should be regarded with respect as it can be hazardous. Around 300 children up to the age of ten die each year from drowning. It should be every parent's responsibility to ensure that both he and the child can swim and that as the child get older, he has some knowledge of lifesaving and artificial respiration(人工呼吸).
The basic rules of water safety are:
—don't leave small children playing alone in water.
—never swim an hour before or an hour after a main meal.
—if it's a danger area, find out before you start swimming where the lifeguard is or where a life belt is available(可提供的).
—as children get older, try to teach to remain calm in an emergence(紧急情况)
—look out for warning signs to see whether you're in a danger area(see under this).Be especially careful of inland stretches of water-pools, reservoirs(水库) and dykes(沟)
—where there are often fewer people about than at the seaside.

Colour: red board, white lettering. UNSAFE TO BATHE AT ALL TIMES. Lifesaving equipment is also painted read for easy identification(识别).3. Colour: red and yellow. PATROLLED(巡逻) BATHING AREAS. Bathing areas with life—saving facilities(设施) provided by patrols of lifeguards.4. Colour: black and white check. SURFING(冲浪) AREA. Area set aside for surf of malibu board(冲浪板) riding.5. Colour: white and blue. The divers' flag means DIVERS DOWN. Boat users keep well clear of this area.
5. What does the writer of this article feel about water
A. Everyone is attracted to the water in the village pond.
B. It is attractive but dangerous.
C. It is beautiful and respected by everybody.

C. There are about 300 children, aged ten or under, who are drowned every year.
D. The 300 children who are drowned every year are usually more than ten years old.

Passage C
Who is a genius This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries
Let's state clearly: Einstein was a genius His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us And who are they
In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It's said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.
A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up It doesn't take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.
Here's the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.”
9. What does the author think of victors' standards for joining the genius club
A. They're unfair. B. They're conservative.
C. They're objective. D. They're strict.
10. What can we infer about girls from the study in Science
A. They think themselves smart.
B. They look up to great thinkers.
C. They see gender differences earlier than boys.
D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs
11. Why are more geniuses known to the public
A. Improved global communication.
B. Less discrimination against women.
C. Acceptance of victors' concepts.
D. Changes in people's social positions.
12. What is the best title for the text
A. Geniuses Think Alike B. Genius Takes Many Forms
C. Genius and Intelligence D. Genius and Luck
Passage D
Do you love holidays but hate the increase weight that follows You are not alone. Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods. Many people, however, are worried about the weight that comes along with the delicious foods. With proper planning, though, it is possible to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don't have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. The following suggestions may be of some help to you.
Do not miss meals. Before you leave home for a feast, have a small, low-fat snack. This may help to keep you from getting too excited before delicious foods.

Better not have high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them. Choose lean meat. Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables. If you have a sweet tooth , try mints (薄荷) and fruits .They don't have fat content as cream and chocolate. Don't let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk after a meal can help burn off excess calories.
13. In order to really enjoy your holidays without putting on weight, you'd better________.

Passage B
Hints on safety
Nearly everyone is attracted to water, whether it is the sea, canals, rivers or the village pond. Beautiful as it is, water should be regarded with respect as it can be hazardous. Around 300 children up to the age of ten die each year from drowning. It should be every parent's responsibility to ensure that both he and the child can swim and that as the child get older, he has some knowledge of lifesaving and artificial respiration(人工呼吸).
The basic rules of water safety are:
—don't leave small children playing alone in water.
—never swim an hour before or an hour after a main meal.
—if it's a danger area, find out before you start swimming where the lifeguard is or where a life belt is available(可提供的).
—as children get older, try to teach to remain calm in an emergence(紧急情况)
—look out for warning signs to see whether you're in a danger area(see under this).Be especially careful of inland stretches of water-pools, reservoirs(水库) and dykes(沟)
—where there are often fewer people about than at the seaside.

Passage C
Who is a genius This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.
Let's state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us And who are they
In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It's said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.
A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up It doesn't take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.
Here's the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.”
9. What does the author think of victors' standards for joining the genius club
A. They're unfair. B. They're conservative.
C. They're objective. D. They're strict.
10. What can we infer about girls from the study in Science
A. They think themselves smart.
B. They look up to great thinkers.
C. They see gender differences earlier than boys.
D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs
11. Why are more geniuses known to the public
A. Improved global communication.
B. Less discrimination against women.
C. Acceptance of victors' concepts.
D. Changes in people's social positions.
12. What is the best title for the text
A. Geniuses Think Alike B. Genius Takes Many Forms
C. Genius and Intelligence D. Genius and Luck
【答案】9. A 10. D 11. A 12. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章由问题“谁是天才？”引入，论述了世人对天才的狭隘定义，提出事实上“天才”有很多种形式，不要让思维限制了我们的“天才”能力。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“It is said that history is written by victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club-women, or people of a different color or belief-they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.( 据说历史是由胜利者书写的，而那些胜利者为进入天才俱乐部设定了标准。当俱乐部以外的天才——女性或不同肤色或信仰的人——做出贡献时，他们不会被承认并且被其他人拒绝)”可推知，作者认为那些“胜利者”对进入“天才俱乐部”设置的标准是不公平的，因为女性或者不同肤色或信仰的人做出的成就是得不到承认的。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief. Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.”(更糟糕的是，研究发现女孩们是按照这个信念行事的。六岁左右，她们开始避免那些据说是“非常非常聪明”的孩子参加的活动)”可推知，女孩容易受到社会信仰的影响，认为自己在六岁左右就不适合做“聪明孩子”做的事情。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear.( 在一个全球通讯不断的有线世界里，我们随时随地都能看到天才的闪现)”可知，进步的全球通讯让更多的天才被公众所知道。故选A。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，结合文章第一段提出问题“Who is a genius （谁是天才）”和最后一段的“As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance, and simple geniuses, who are able to change the world.”(正如一位作家所说，未来的天才来自那些具有“智慧、创造力、毅力和那些能够改变世界的简单天才。”)”可知，天才不一定是那些有巨大贡献的人，他们也可以是某一方面比较突出的普通人。由此可知B项“天才有多种形式”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选B。

语法填空的解题技巧：
语法填空是通过语篇在语境中考查语法知识的运用能力。我们在解题前应快速浏览短文掌握大意，有把握的空格可以进行填写。在读懂的基础上，再结合短文提供的特定的语言环境去逐句分析逐题解答。按题型设计分三种情况：
1. 纯空格试题的解题技巧。
首先分析句子结构，根据所缺成分确定哪类词。然后根据句子意思，确定具体填什么词，或根据两句间的逻辑关系确定具体用哪个连词。
2. 给出了动词的试题解题技巧。
首先，判断要填的动词是谓语动词还是非谓语动词。若句子没有别的谓语动词或者虽然已有谓语动词，但需填的动词与之是并列关系，所给动词就是谓语动词，若是谓语动词就要考虑时态和语态；若句子有谓语动词则用非谓语动词（动词不定式、现在分词、动名词和过去分词）。
3. 词汇转换题解题技巧。
这类题主要考查名词、形容词和副词。根据所给词在句中所作句子成分确定用哪种形式。

【答案】Dear Jack,
I am glad to hear from you. As your close friend, I’d like to talk about the harm of Internet addiction to you as I feel worried to know that you have wasted lots of valuable time playing the Internet games.
As we know, the Internet is a convenient tool to improve our knowledge and skills. However, our life will be greatly affected if we are addicted to it. For example your grades may go down and your health will be going from bad to worse. To make things worse, it can also damage the relationship with your family. So I think it is high time that you got rid of the bad habit. It is a good idea for you to read some meaningful books and do some physical exercise.
I am looking forward to hearing your good news soon．
Yours,
Li Hua
