第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
We all know that water is tasteless.But it happens from time to time: you pick up the bottle of water you didn't finish yesterday, and it tastes strange.Most often, you tend to drop the bottle in the trash bin, believing that the water has gone bad.But is it true
According to Time, of course not, taste has little to do with quality of water.
According to Time, when water is exposed to the air for 12 hours, carbon dioxide interacts with the H2O in the water, and the PH value lowers slightly.As a result, the water has a different taste.
“But it's most likely safe to drink，” Norwegian expert Truls Krogh told Science Nordic.“If the water is covered and of good quality to start with, in principle it can last a thousand years.That's because when water is fresh, it contains little organic matter.As long as water is held in clean glasses or bottles, no pollutants will enter it to harm our health.”
People in countries like the US, the UK and Australia usually drink tap water.According to Time, if tap water is drunk within six months, the chlorine (氯气) in the water will be enough to kill any bacteria and keep it safe to drink.
However, there are also some exceptions.If you accidentally put your fingers into water or store water in unclean containers day after day, microorganism (微生物) will enter the water.
With the help of surrounding temperature, and sunlight streaming through windows, these microorganisms multiply quickly.Sooner or later, the water will be in the charge of the unfriendly bacteria.And if you drink the water too often, then you're more likely to be ill.
And what about water in plastic bottles Heat and plastic are a bad combination, US researcher Kellogg Schwab stresses.When plastic bottles are used at high temperatures, they produce a chemical called BPA.BPA is something that affects hormones (荷尔蒙) and research has tentatively linked it to “several health damage, including heart disease and cancer”， Time reported.
Schwab suggests replacing disposable (一次性的) plastic bottles with the refillable containers made of metal or glass to deal with BPA.
1．The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________．
A．show an example
B．draw a conclusion
C．analyze a phenomenon
D．introduce a topic
2．Which of the following may Truls Krogh agree
A．If the water tastes different, we shouldn't drink it.
B．The water held in a clean container is likely safe to drink.
C．Although kept fresh, water may still have much organic matter.
D．Covered water can last for a thousand years.
3．What can we infer from the passage
A．BPA does little harm to our health.
B．Tap water is always safe to drink.
C．Microorganisms are easy to produce in the heat.
D．Disposable plastic bottles have been banned already.
B
A British friend told me he couldn't understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds(嗑瓜子) as a snack so much.“I've met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth；I believe that's from cracking the seeds，” he said.
I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware.I realized that whenever I'm watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds.My friend doesn't like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed.
When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year.Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door to door on Chinese New Year's Eve to check out what every household was making.
I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking.Out in the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds.Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast.I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.
I don't think it's right to criticize one's choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.
It's not only in China.When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food.In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath.They think it's a delicacy(美味佳肴), and it's connected to their certain culture.I think it's a wonderful tradition.
4．What lesson can we learn from the story
A．One kind of food doesn't necessarily suit everyone.
B．It is good to form healthy eating habits.
C．Eating habits come from a certain culture.
D．Changing your eating habits will change your life.
5．What did the writer become aware of
A．She had ever typed a report about seeds.
B．She had various snacks while watching TV.
C．She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds.
D．She had a habit of cracking sunflower seeds.
6．What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year
A．The traditions of celebrating it disappear.
B．Eating sunflower seeds is related to it.
C．The families get together for it.
D．Children can eat delicious food on that day.
7．The writer's attitude to Denmark's way of eating bread is ________．
A．neutral (中立的) B．critical (批评的)
C．acceptable D．doubtful
C
With only about 1, 000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone(克隆) the animal and save the endangered species(物种)．That's similar to what Texas A&M University researchers have been undertaking(负责) for the past five years in a project called “Noah's Ark”．
Noah's Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen(氮)．If certain species should become extinct, Dr.Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A&M'S College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.
It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds and reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years.The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.
Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit.They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.
The entire procedure(过程) could take from three to five years to complete.
“The nuclear transfer(核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available(capable of being used) panda eggs could be a major problem，” Kraemer believes.“They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy(having a baby)．It takes a long time and it's difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works.They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort，” adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A&M, the first ever attempt at cloning a dog.
“They are trying to do something that's never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah's Ark.We're both trying to save animals that face extinction.I certainly appreciate their effort and there's a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do.It's a research that is very much needed.”
8．According to Professor Kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of ________．
A．available panda eggs
B．host animals
C．qualified researchers
D．enough money
9．The best title for the passage may be ________．
A．China's Success in Pandas Cloning
B．The First Cloned Panda in the World
C．Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas
D．China — the Native Place of Pandas Forever
10．From the passage we know that ________．
A．Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a cat
B．scientists try to implant a panda's egg into a tiger
C．Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researches
D．about two thousand of species will probably die out in about a century
11．The aim of “Noah's Ark” project is to ________．
A．make effort to clone the endangered pandas
B．save endangered animals from dying out
C．collect DNA of endangered animals to study
D．transfer the nuclear of one animal to another
D
I don't think I can recall a time when I wasn't aware of the beauty of the ocean.Growing up in Australia, I had the good fortune of having the sea at my side.The first time I went to Halfmoon Bay. I suddenly had the feeling of not being able to feel the ground with my feet anymore.
For my 10th birthday, my sister and I were taken out to the Great Barrier Reef.There were fish in different colors, caves and layers of coral.They made such an impression on me.When I learned that only 1 percent of Australia's Coral Sea was protected, I was shocked.Australian marine (海洋的) life is particularly important because the reefs have more marine species than any other country on earth.But sadly, only 45% of the world's reefs are considered healthy.
This statistic is depressing, so it's important for us to do everything to protect them.The hope that the Coral Sea remains a complete eco system has led me to take action.I've become involved with the Protect Our Coral Sea activity, which aims to create the largest marine park in the world.It would serve as a place where the ocean's species will all have a safe place forever.
Together, Angus and I created a little video and we hope it will inspire people to be a part of the movement.Angus also shares many beautiful childhood memories of the ocean as a young boy, who grew up sailing, admiring the beauty of the ocean, and trying to find the secrets of ocean species.
12．According to the second paragraph, Australian marine life ________．
A．is escaping from the Coral Sea gradually
B．depends on reefs for living greatly
C．may be faced with danger
D．is protected better than that in other oceans
13．The Protect Our Coral Sea activity is intended to ________．
A．contribute to a complete eco system
B．prevent more marine species from being endangered
C．set up a large nature reserve for reefs
D．raise more teenagers' environmental awareness
14．Angus and the author created a little video to ________．
A．urge more people to take action to protect the marine species
B．inspire more people to explore the secret of the ocean
C．share their childhood experiences about the ocean
D．bring back to people their memory of ocean species
15．From the underlined sentence in Para.1, we can learn the author ________．
A．seldom went surfing at the sea
B．forgot his experiences about the ocean
C．never went back to his hometown
D．had a wonderful impression of Halfmoon Bay

Can we humans avoid war Can war be prevented
1 Throughout the ages, from the Stone Age to the Atomic Age, men have been fighting, first with swords and shields, then with pins and cannous, and now，hydrogen bombs and missiles are used for military purpose.But, in spite of all these，it is still belief that war can be prevented and peace can be won, but it requires the effort of every one of us.
2 If it ever happens, two thirds of the world and much of the civilization which men have gained through time，patience and effort will be destroyed.Will then the remaining one third of the world be able to survive on its own
Our task now is not to blame the past，but to plan for the future.
If there is peace in the world, men can use their rockets to explore the mystery of space，their submarines to explore the depth of the sea，their missiles to deliver to mails and their fine equipment to penetrate(穿透)jungles of Africa，instead of using them military.
Governments can use their money to build more schools，so that more children can be educated to be useful citizens. 3 They can also design new machines to increase the production of goods and thus improve the way of the people.
4 It requires，in my opinion，the understanding and friendship between all people from all nations.Let no one suffer discrimination by reason of color，race，reli gion，or national origin.Let the rich support the poor and the strong help the weak.
We know that neither peace nor such a dream world can come true in a day or month. 5 ．But let us plan and begin now.
A．How can a peaceful world be achieved
B．The process may even take decades or centuries.
C．Peace can be won through the efforts of all human beings.
D．Things for military use can be transformed to peaceful use.
E．Scientists can use atomic energy to power steamships and planes.
F．I am sure that we would not like to experience another world war.
G．History tells that there were wars, great or small，in every century, in every decade.

My mom only had one eye.I hated her.She was such an embarrassment(让人尴尬的人或事)．
She ran a small shop at a flea(跳蚤)market and collected old clothes and some other things to sell for the money we needed.Once during elementary school, it was field day, and my mom came.I was so embarrassed and wondered how she could do this to me.I threw her a hateful look and ran out.The next day at school, my schoolmates asked me, “Your mom only has one eye？” and laughed at me.
I was so angry with my mom and wished that she would just disappear from this world.So I said to my mom, “Why don't you have the other eye You only make me a joke！” My mom trembled(颤抖)with shock, and said in an apologetic(歉意的)tone, “I'm so sorry that I only have one eye, and I was an embarrassment for you.But I was so proud of my son to see a whole new world for me with that eye.I will leave right now.Sorry！” My mom turned around and slipped away.
For the words I had said to her earlier, there was something biting at me in the corner of my heart.Even so, I hated my one eyed mom and our desperate poverty.Maybe because my mom hadn't punished me, I didn't think I had hurt her feelings very badly.
I told myself that I would become successful in the near future, so I studied very hard.Later I got accepted by the Seoul University.I left my mother and came to Seoul to study.I never went back to visit my mom.
Then I got married there.I bought a house of my own.Then I had kids, too.Now I am living happily as a successful man.I enjoy the life in Seoul because it's a place that doesn't remind me of my mom and my past.This kind of happiness was getting bigger and bigger, until one day someone knocked at my door.
Paragraph 1:
It was my mom! And still with her one eye！

Is Recycling Textbook a Good Suggestion
On behalf of our group, I'd like to give a brief summary of our discussion on the topic “Is Recycling Textbook a Good Suggestion？” As we know, when high school students graduate their textbooks are thrown away, which are still in good condition.What a great waste it is!
Some students in my group agree to recycle textbooks.For one thing, it can save money and natural resources.For another, in western countries, recycling textbooks is very popular.However, some have different opinions, for the content of the textbooks are often renewed.In addition, students can't make notes in the textbooks.
I think it's a wonderful idea because it will do good to both the country and the families.
【故事续写】
Paragraph 1:
It was my mom! And still with her one eye! Reminded instantly of my dark past and embarrassment, I felt as if the whole sky was falling apart on me.Overwhelmed with rage, I growled at her, “Who are you How dare you come to my house！” My mom narrowed her eye and opened her mouth but nothing came out there.Dead silence! Tears streaming down the gloomy winkled face, she thrust a letter into my hand, turned around and staggered away, head deep down.Heart stung by her withered back, I just cast a glance at the letter.My mom gave that eye to me! My world shattered.
Paragraph 2:
Holding the letter, I cried for the person who only lived for me. How she wanted her own son to see the world clearly! But how deeply I had hurt her! Heart knotted with deep regret, I called out loudly, “Mom！” I ran after my mom, grabbed her and knelt down.“Mom, would you forgive me and accept me again？” Tears dried and a smile stole into her cheeks, with an expression of forgiving.It's never too old fashioned to say mom's love is the greatest in the world.

With only about 1, 000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone(克隆) the animal and save the endangered species(物种)．That's similar to what Texas A&M University researchers have been undertaking(负责) for the past five years in a project called “Noah's Ark”．

For my 10th birthday, my sister and I were taken out to the Great Barrier Reef.There were fish in different colors, caves and layers of coral.They made such an impression on me.When I learned that only 1 percent of Australia's Coral Sea was protected, I was shocked.Australian marine (海洋的) life is particularly important because the reefs have more marine species than any other country on earth.But sadly, only 45% of the world's reefs are considered healthy.
This statistic is depressing, so it's important for us to do everything to protect them.The hope that the Coral Sea remains a complete eco system has led me to take action.I've become involved with the Protect Our Coral Sea activity, which aims to create the largest marine park in the world.It would serve as a place where the ocean's species will all have a safe place forever.
Together, Angus and I created a little video and we hope it will inspire people to be a part of the movement.Angus also shares many beautiful childhood memories of the ocean as a young boy, who grew up sailing, admiring the beauty of the ocean, and trying to find the secrets of ocean species.
12．According to the second paragraph, Australian marine life ________．
A．is escaping from the Coral Sea gradually
B．depends on reefs for living greatly
C．may be faced with danger
D．is protected better than that in other oceans
13．The Protect Our Coral Sea activity is intended to ________．
A．contribute to a complete eco system
B．prevent more marine species from being endangered

14．Angus and the author created a little video to ________．
A．urge more people to take action to protect the marine species
B．inspire more people to explore the secret of the ocean
C．share their childhood experiences about the ocean
D．bring back to people their memory of ocean species
15．From the underlined sentence in Para.1, we can learn the author ________．

Can we humans avoid war Can war be prevented
1 Throughout the ages, from the Stone Age to the Atomic Age, men have been fighting, first with swords and shields, then with pins and cannous, and now，hydrogen bombs and missiles are used for military purpose.But, in spite of all these，it is still belief that war can be prevented and peace can be won, but it requires the effort of every one of us.
2 If it ever happens, two thirds of the world and much of the civilization which men have gained through time，patience and effort will be destroyed.Will then the remaining one third of the world be able to survive on its own
Our task now is not to blame the past，but to plan for the future.
If there is peace in the world, men can use their rockets to explore the mystery of space，their submarines to explore the depth of the sea，their missiles to deliver to mails and their fine equipment to penetrate(穿透)jungles of Africa，instead of using them military.
Governments can use their money to build more schools，so that more children can be educated to be useful citizens. 3 They can also design new machines to increase the production of goods and thus improve the way of the people.
4 It requires，in my opinion，the understanding and friendship between all people from all nations.Let no one suffer discrimination by reason of color，race，reli gion，or national origin.Let the rich support the poor and the strong help the weak.
We know that neither peace nor such a dream world can come true in a day or month. 5 ．But let us plan and begin now.

My mom only had one eye.I hated her.She was such an embarrassment(让人尴尬的人或事)．
She ran a small shop at a flea(跳蚤)market and collected old clothes and some other things to sell for the money we needed.Once during elementary school, it was field day, and my mom came.I was so embarrassed and wondered how she could do this to me.I threw her a hateful look and ran out.The next day at school, my schoolmates asked me, “Your mom only has one eye？” and laughed at me.
I was so angry with my mom and wished that she would just disappear from this world.So I said to my mom, “Why don't you have the other eye You only make me a joke！” My mom trembled(颤抖)with shock, and said in an apologetic(歉意的)tone, “I'm so sorry that I only have one eye, and I was an embarrassment for you.But I was so proud of my son to see a whole new world for me with that eye.I will leave right now.Sorry！” My mom turned around and slipped away.
For the words I had said to her earlier, there was something biting at me in the corner of my heart.Even so, I hated my one eyed mom and our desperate poverty.Maybe because my mom hadn't punished me, I didn't think I had hurt her feelings very badly.
I told myself that I would become successful in the near future, so I studied very hard.Later I got accepted by the Seoul University.I left my mother and came to Seoul to study.I never went back to visit my mom.
Then I got married there.I bought a house of my own.Then I had kids, too.Now I am living happily as a successful man.I enjoy the life in Seoul because it's a place that doesn't remind me of my mom and my past.This kind of happiness was getting bigger and bigger, until one day someone knocked at my door.
Paragraph 1:
It was my mom! And still with her one eye！

Is Recycling Textbook a Good Suggestion
On behalf of our group, I'd like to give a brief summary of our discussion on the topic “Is Recycling Textbook a Good Suggestion？” As we know, when high school students graduate their textbooks are thrown away, which are still in good condition.What a great waste it is!
Some students in my group agree to recycle textbooks.For one thing, it can save money and natural resources.For another, in western countries, recycling textbooks is very popular.However, some have different opinions, for the content of the textbooks are often renewed.In addition, students can't make notes in the textbooks.
I think it's a wonderful idea because it will do good to both the country and the families.
【故事续写】
Paragraph 1:
It was my mom! And still with her one eye! Reminded instantly of my dark past and embarrassment, I felt as if the whole sky was falling apart on me.Overwhelmed with rage, I growled at her, “Who are you How dare you come to my house！” My mom narrowed her eye and opened her mouth but nothing came out there.Dead silence! Tears streaming down the gloomy winkled face, she thrust a letter into my hand, turned around and staggered away, head deep down.Heart stung by her withered back, I just cast a glance at the letter.My mom gave that eye to me! My world shattered.
Paragraph 2:
Holding the letter, I cried for the person who only lived for me. How she wanted her own son to see the world clearly! But how deeply I had hurt her! Heart knotted with deep regret, I called out loudly, “Mom！” I ran after my mom, grabbed her and knelt down.“Mom, would you forgive me and accept me again？” Tears dried and a smile stole into her cheeks, with an expression of forgiving.It's never too old fashioned to say mom's love is the greatest in the world.
