第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)
第一节(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25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
Do you jump out of bed early, wide awake and ready to start your day If so, you would be called an “early bird”. Perhaps you hate the sound of your alarm clock(闹钟) each morning and have little energy until afternoon. If so, you’re probably a “night owl”．
Most people can be divided into such two groups, but what makes us this way And is one better than the other There are different opinions.
Usually, early risers have been praised as hard working while those who prefer to get up late are considered lazy. Most__people__believe__the__early__bird__catches__the__worm.
Yet some scientists now believe “night owls” can really focus(集中) longer and produce more than early risers.
Research has found that the early bird does not always get the worm. In a Belgian study, both “morning people” and “evening people” were watched during their normal asleep and awake routines(常规). After 10 hours of being awake, the “evening people” became more alert(思维敏捷的). However, the “morning people” became sleepy and less focused. Researchers believe the reason for this difference is that night owls receive a last minute increase from their brains. This added energy allows them to stay alert for longer periods of time.
Environment, lifestyle, activities and childhood routines all may have an effect on sleeping habits, yet genetics(遗传学) may play the biggest role.
It is possible to change your sleeping habits through regular bedtimes, early exercise and by avoiding midnight snacks. But if you’re happy rising early or staying up late, you’re probably doing what works best for your own personal body clock.
21．The author introduces the subject by ________．
A．telling an interesting story
B．giving different opinions
C．showing research results
D．asking a question
22．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 really mean
A．Those who get up early achieve their goals.
B．Early to bed, early to rise is good for health.
C．“Night owls” can focus longer than “early birds”．
D．“Early birds” are as hard working as “night owls”．
23．What did the researchers find in a Belgian study
A．Late risers become sleepier than early risers.
B．Early risers become as focused as later risers.
C．Late risers can think quickly after being awaken for 10 hours.
D．Early risers can think clearly after being awake for 10 hours.
24．What opinion does the author finally agree to
A．People should get up early.
B．Whatever time suits you, it’s OK.
C．Staying up late is good for health.
D．It’s impossible to change one’s sleeping habit.
B
Thanksgiving is an important festival in North America.We interviewed several students from the USA and Canada.Here is what they have told us about their Thanksgiving experiences.
Josie from New York, USA
“In America, Thanksgiving is celebrated every year at the end of November.It is to remember the first group of people from Europe to live in America.When they first arrived, they found the environment strange.But they learned to survive after some native American friends showed them how to grow and find food.Thanksgiving is meant to be a traditional celebration.”
Todd from California, USA
“Thanksgiving is the first day of Christmas shopping.That means we have four weeks to buy Christmas presents for our families and friends.For me and my friends, the most important part of the festival is the big football game on TV.The match is watched by millions of people all over America.Thanksgiving is seen as an exciting day for football！”
Ian from Saskatoon, Canada
“In Canada, Thanksgiving is held on the second Monday in October.On the Sunday before Thanksgiving Day, many people go to church.Thanks is given for all the good things that happened to them during the year.I always give thanks for the nice big turkey I’m going to have at the family dinner! Like all festivals, Thanksgiving is about food！”
Katie from Maritimes, Canada
“On Thanksgiving Day, we have dinner with all our cousins, aunts and uncles.It is always very busy.Sometimes we have two Thanksgiving dinners because we go to both our grandparents’ houses.The dinner is usually attended by more than twenty people at each house! My mother and my aunts do all the cooking but the washing up is done by me and my cousins.And that’s not an easy job! But I don’t mind because Thanksgiving is meant to be a time to give thanks.”

C
I owe my father a huge thank you! Sure, I need to thank him for all those years of paying my bills, fixing my bikes, and providing a shoulder to cry on. But this year I realized that his contributions to my childhood were much more than that.
I grew up as Daddy’s Little Girl. If I had a problem that needed fixing or a question that needed answering, he was the one I ran to. He helped me get through everything from math homework as a high school student to career choices as a young adult. He always expected that I did my best in whatever I did, and he believed I could succeed in anything I put my mind to. As a result, I learned to hold myself to those same standards. He always showed me unconditional love, which helped me learn to love myself. It was something I’d taken for granted until I realized from talking with my friends that they had no similar view of their self worth. Having fathers that didn’t believe in them left them to grow up not believing in themselves.
As I was growing up, my father also modeled how a woman should be lavished. He treated my mom with love and respect. As a result, I grew to expect nothing less than that from the men I dated and from the man I would eventually marry. Dad was a living picture of godliness(虔诚), honesty and responsibility. It was only recently that I realized what a deep effect fathers have on their daughters’ lives. That is why I want to thank my dad for the godly example of love that he has been to me throughout my life.
28．From the second paragraph, the author thinks it is the most valuable that ________．
A．her father was very strict with her
B．her father helped her a lot in every way
C．nothing was difficult if her father was on her side
D．father’s trust deeply influenced her self confidence
29．What does the underlined word “lavished” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Loved. B．Respected.
C．Treated. D．Spoiled.
30．The feeling the author wants to express to her father in this text is ________．
A．grateful B．sad
C．proud D．pitiful
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
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。
Everyone needs friends. As the old saying goes, “No man is an island.” In other words, no one can survive without the help and friendship of others. 31.________ Society is made up of people, and making friends is a very important part in our life.
32．________ Firstly, if you have trouble with some problems, you can talk to your good friends and exchange opinions. Thus you will feel comfortable and encouraged. Secondly, if you wish to do some physical exercises, such as playing table tennis, you can play with friends and have a good time.33.________

第二节 概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
In 2002, an Australian man went to his friend’s 21st birthday party. He got drunk, fell off some steps and cut his lip. He took a picture of his injuries and shared it with his friends online. “And sorry about the focus，” he wrote, “it was a selfie(自拍)．” That was the first recorded use of the word “selfie”， according to some experts at Oxford Dictionaries.
Oxford Dictionaries declared “selfie” Word of the Year for 2013, in honor of the term having taken over the world thanks to millions of smart phone self portraits and the resulting shares on social media. In recent years, the act of taking a picture of oneself with a mobile phone, placing the subject center stage, has won great popularity with everyone from Britain’s Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ to US with former President Barack Obama joining in.
But the rise of selfie photography in some of the world’s most beautiful, dangerous places has also inspired a lot of risk taking behavior, such as hanging from a tall building, standing in front of a rushing train and crossing a busy street. People who get addicted will never stop taking selfies, completely ignoring where they are. In fact, there have been several reports about people losing their lives while taking selfies. Several governments have now begun treating selfie as a serious threat to safety, warning visitors to pay attention to the dangers when taking selfies.
“Walt Disney World is also banning selfie sticks from its theme parks because selfie sticks have become a growing safety concern for our guests，” Disney World spokeswoman Kim Prunty said. Under the new policy, guests will be checked for the equipment during the routine bag check that happens near the parks’ entrances.

I’m sorry to hear that you are having trouble adapting to your new school life in America, but this situation can be easily changed if you take my advice.
Firstly, you should work hard at English, which can give you more opportunities to communicate with others. Secondly, why not make some friends They can help you to know more about America. Thirdly, it would be a good idea if you take an active part in all kinds of activities, which will help to make life more interesting.
I hope you will find these ideas useful.
Yours，

Do you jump out of bed early, wide awake and ready to start your day If so, you would be called an “early bird”. Perhaps you hate the sound of your alarm clock(闹钟) each morning and have little energy until afternoon. If so, you’re probably a “night owl”．
Most people can be divided into such two groups, but what makes us this way And is one better than the other There are different opinions.
Usually, early risers have been praised as hard working while those who prefer to get up late are considered lazy. Most__people__believe__the__early__bird__catches__the__worm.
Yet some scientists now believe “night owls” can really focus(集中) longer and produce more than early risers.
Research has found that the early bird does not always get the worm. In a Belgian study, both “morning people” and “evening people” were watched during their normal asleep and awake routines(常规). After 10 hours of being awake, the “evening people” became more alert(思维敏捷的). However, the “morning people” became sleepy and less focused. Researchers believe the reason for this difference is that night owls receive a last minute increase from their brains. This added energy allows them to stay alert for longer periods of time.
Environment, lifestyle, activities and childhood routines all may have an effect on sleeping habits, yet genetics(遗传学) may play the biggest role.
It is possible to change your sleeping habits through regular bedtimes, early exercise and by avoiding midnight snacks. But if you’re happy rising early or staying up late, you’re probably doing what works best for your own personal body clock.

I owe my father a huge thank you! Sure, I need to thank him for all those years of paying my bills, fixing my bikes, and providing a shoulder to cry on. But this year I realized that his contributions to my childhood were much more than that.
I grew up as Daddy’s Little Girl. If I had a problem that needed fixing or a question that needed answering, he was the one I ran to. He helped me get through everything from math homework as a high school student to career choices as a young adult. He always expected that I did my best in whatever I did, and he believed I could succeed in anything I put my mind to. As a result, I learned to hold myself to those same standards. He always showed me unconditional love, which helped me learn to love myself. It was something I’d taken for granted until I realized from talking with my friends that they had no similar view of their self worth. Having fathers that didn’t believe in them left them to grow up not believing in themselves.
As I was growing up, my father also modeled how a woman should be lavished. He treated my mom with love and respect. As a result, I grew to expect nothing less than that from the men I dated and from the man I would eventually marry. Dad was a living picture of godliness(虔诚), honesty and responsibility. It was only recently that I realized what a deep effect fathers have on their daughters’ lives. That is why I want to thank my dad for the godly example of love that he has been to me throughout my life.
28．From the second paragraph, the author thinks it is the most valuable that ________．
A．her father was very strict with her
B．her father helped her a lot in every way
C．nothing was difficult if her father was on her side
D．father’s trust deeply influenced her self confidence
29．What does the underlined word “lavished” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Loved. B．Respected.
C．Treated. D．Spoiled.
30．The feeling the author wants to express to her father in this text is ________．
A．grateful B．sad
C．proud D．pitiful

第二节 概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
In 2002, an Australian man went to his friend’s 21st birthday party. He got drunk, fell off some steps and cut his lip. He took a picture of his injuries and shared it with his friends online. “And sorry about the focus，” he wrote, “it was a selfie(自拍)．” That was the first recorded use of the word “selfie”， according to some experts at Oxford Dictionaries.
Oxford Dictionaries declared “selfie” Word of the Year for 2013, in honor of the term having taken over the world thanks to millions of smart phone self portraits and the resulting shares on social media. In recent years, the act of taking a picture of oneself with a mobile phone, placing the subject center stage, has won great popularity with everyone from Britain’s Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ to US with former President Barack Obama joining in.
But the rise of selfie photography in some of the world’s most beautiful, dangerous places has also inspired a lot of risk taking behavior, such as hanging from a tall building, standing in front of a rushing train and crossing a busy street. People who get addicted will never stop taking selfies, completely ignoring where they are. In fact, there have been several reports about people losing their lives while taking selfies. Several governments have now begun treating selfie as a serious threat to safety, warning visitors to pay attention to the dangers when taking selfies.
“Walt Disney World is also banning selfie sticks from its theme parks because selfie sticks have become a growing safety concern for our guests，” Disney World spokeswoman Kim Prunty said. Under the new policy, guests will be checked for the equipment during the routine bag check that happens near the parks’ entrances.
