Ⅱ.阅读理解 (共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分)
阅读下列短文，掌握其大意，然后从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。
A
I've spent over a year in India, and in those 365 plus days, I've learned a lot about getting around Indian cities.My biggest lessons have been learned through being cheated，particularly by taxi and rickshaw(人力车) drivers, but that doesn't mean those are bad ways to travel, as long as you know what you're doing.Below are the best ways to get around the city of Delhi, India，and tips for how to keep from being the victim of scams(欺诈)．
Taking taxis is a great way to get around the city of Delhi and chances are, if you arrive in Delhi by plane, as soon as you make it through customs，you'll be swarmed by Indian taxi drivers.At the Delhi airport, be sure to arrange for a taxi to your hotel at one of the two Delhi Traffic Police Taxi Booths.One is inside the airport, and the other is outside.The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police, rather than by independent taxi drivers.
Rickshaws are one of my favourite ways to get around Indian cities, in part because it's how the locals often travel.Auto rickshaws are more common, but bicycle rickshaws are still used in Old Delhi.If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw, you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees.Auto rickshaw rates around Delhi range between 30 and 80 rupees, depending on the distance.
If you really want to travel around Delhi like the locals, take a public bus.Indian buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning.They are, however, very cheap.A bus trip won't set you back any more than 15 rupees, as long as you stay within the city limits.Since Indian buses get so crowded, try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.
The train is a great way to get around within the city of Delhi.Fares are reasonable, between 6 and 22 rupees.All departure announcements are in both Hindi and English, and tokens can be purchased for between 6 and 22 rupees.
6．The author is trying to ________ in Delhi through this text.
A．give some advice of travelling
B．expect us to travel around
C．show his/her experiences

7．To avoid being cheated，you ought to ______ if you want to take a taxi at the Delhi airport.
A．pay more to the drivers to keep safe
B．show your ticket to the driver
C．go to a police run booth
D．go out of the airport
8．The author suggests taking a rickshaw in order to ______．
A．save some money B．enjoy the comfortable trip
C．gain a unique experience D．help the local rickshaw drivers
9．What can we infer from the passage
A．You won't have to pay much if you travel around by bus in India.
B．It will be difficult for you to get a seat if you get on the bus halfway.
C．A rickshaw driver only charges whatever amount you give him.
D．You'll have to speak English if you travel around in India.
10．Which may be the topic that follows
A．Hotel recommendations in Delhi

A thief who dropped a winning lottery ticket at the scene of his crime has been given a lesson in honesty.His victim, who picked up the ticket and then claimed the$25, 000 prize, managed to trace him, and handed over the cash.The robbery happened when maths professor Vinicio Sabbatucci, 58, was changing a tire on an Italian motorway.Another motorist, who stopped “to help”， stole a suitcase from his car and drove off.The professor found the dropped ticket and put it in his pocket before driving home to Ascoli in eastern Italy.
Next day, he saw the lottery results on TV and, taking out the ticket, realized it was a winner.He claimed the 60 million lire(里拉) prize.Then he began a battle with his conscience．Finally, he decided he could not keep the money despite having been robbed.He advertised in newspapers and on the radio, saying, “I'm trying to find the man who robbed me.I have 60 million lire for him—a lottery win.Please meet me.Anonymity(匿名) guaranteed.”
Professor Sabbatucci received hundreds of calls from people hoping to trick him into handing them the cash.But there was one voice he recognized and he arranged to meet the man in a park.The robber, a 35 year old unemployed father of two, gave back the suitcase and burst into tears.He could not believe what was happening.“Why didn't you keep the money？” he asked.The professor replied, “I couldn't because it's not mine.”Then he walked off, spurning the thief's offer of a reward.

That the Leaning Tower of Pisa no longer leans quite so much after a ￡20 million project to save it has proved to be a great success. The tower, which was on the edge of collapse, has been straightened by 18 inches, returning it to its 1838 position.
“It has straightened a little bit more than we expected, but very little helps, ”said Prof.John Burland, the only British member of the rescue committee.“The tower is still very slightly moving towards being upright.”
The tower, which has been leaning almost since building work first began in 1173, was closed to the public in 1990 because of safety fears.The 183 foot tower was nearly 15 feet off vertical and its structure was found to have been weakened by centuries of strain (作用力)．
Prof.Burland said it could have collapsed “at any moment”．However, it took nine years of quarrelling before any work was done.The last attempt at straightening the tower was carried out.Concrete(混凝土) was poured into the foundations, but the result was that the tower sank further into the soil.
The straightening work involved digging out around 70 tonnes of earth from the northern side of the tower, causing it to sink on that side.Before the digging started, the tower was fixed with steel ropes and 600 tonnes of lead weights.
However, halfway through the project, concerns at the ugliness of the lead weights led to their removal and the tower leaned greatly.The weights were hurriedly reattached.One night, the tower moved more than it had averaged in an entire year.The tower's stonework has also been restored.
The Italian government stepped in after a tower collapsed in Pavia in 1989, killing four people.Experts suddenly realized that the tower at Pisa, which was similarly built and on the same sort of earth, could do the same.
16．What would be the best title for the passage
A．The Building of the Leaning Tower of Pisa
B．Saving the Leaning Tower of Pisa
C．The Collapse of the Leaning Tower of Pisa
D．The History of the Leaning Tower of Pisa
17．According to the passage, the Leaning Tower of Pisa ______．
A．closed for the straightening work in 1990
B．began to lean more than 800 years ago
C．has a history of more than 1, 000 years
D．has become vertical
18．What drove the Italian government to save the Leaning Tower of Pisa
A．The development of new technology.
B．The advice of Prof.John Burland.
C．The expectation of the rescue committee.
D．The collapse of a tower in Pavia.
19．What most probably played the most important part in straightening the tower
A．The lead weights fixed to the tower.
B．Restoring the stonework.
C．Pouring concrete into the foundations.
D．Digging earth from the southern side of the tower.
20．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A．The position of the tower has been restored to what it was 182 years ago.
B．Hundreds of years of strain has weakened the tower's structure.
C．The tower doesn't lean any more after the straightening work finished.
D．People spent nine years in discussing about the straightening work.

That the Leaning Tower of Pisa no longer leans quite so much after a ￡20 million project to save it has proved to be a great success. The tower, which was on the edge of collapse, has been straightened by 18 inches, returning it to its 1838 position.
“It has straightened a little bit more than we expected, but very little helps, ”said Prof.John Burland, the only British member of the rescue committee.“The tower is still very slightly moving towards being upright.”
The tower, which has been leaning almost since building work first began in 1173, was closed to the public in 1990 because of safety fears.The 183 foot tower was nearly 15 feet off vertical and its structure was found to have been weakened by centuries of strain (作用力)．
Prof.Burland said it could have collapsed “at any moment”．However, it took nine years of quarrelling before any work was done.The last attempt at straightening the tower was carried out.Concrete(混凝土) was poured into the foundations, but the result was that the tower sank further into the soil.
The straightening work involved digging out around 70 tonnes of earth from the northern side of the tower, causing it to sink on that side.Before the digging started, the tower was fixed with steel ropes and 600 tonnes of lead weights.
However, halfway through the project, concerns at the ugliness of the lead weights led to their removal and the tower leaned greatly.The weights were hurriedly reattached.One night, the tower moved more than it had averaged in an entire year.The tower's stonework has also been restored.
The Italian government stepped in after a tower collapsed in Pavia in 1989, killing four people.Experts suddenly realized that the tower at Pisa, which was similarly built and on the same sort of earth, could do the same.
16．What would be the best title for the passage
A．The Building of the Leaning Tower of Pisa
B．Saving the Leaning Tower of Pisa
C．The Collapse of the Leaning Tower of Pisa
D．The History of the Leaning Tower of Pisa
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了比萨斜塔的倾斜历史及政府为此做出的努力。
B 主旨大意题。文章开头就说明比萨斜塔的保存，并且下文也是围绕拯救比萨斜塔进行阐述的。所以最佳标题是拯救比萨斜塔。故选B项。
17．According to the passage, the Leaning Tower of Pisa ______．
A．closed for the straightening work in 1990
B．began to lean more than 800 years ago
C．has a history of more than 1, 000 years
D．has become vertical
B 细节理解题。由第三段第一句“The tower, which has been leaning almost since building work first began in 1173”，可知，比萨斜塔自1173年建立(至今已有800多年的历史)时就开始倾斜。故选B项。
18．What drove the Italian government to save the Leaning Tower of Pisa
A．The development of new technology.
B．The advice of Prof.John Burland.
C．The expectation of the rescue committee.
D．The collapse of a tower in Pavia.
D 细节理解题。文章最后一段提到1989年帕维亚一座塔楼倒塌，造成4人死亡，之后意大利政府介入。专家们突然意识到，比萨斜塔的建造方式和建造地点都与倒塌的塔楼很相似。说明正是另一个地方的塔的倒塌才使意大利政府意识到拯救比萨斜塔的迫切性。故选D项。
19．What most probably played the most important part in straightening the tower
A．The lead weights fixed to the tower.
B．Restoring the stonework.
C．Pouring concrete into the foundations.
D．Digging earth from the southern side of the tower.
A 推理判断题。文章第六段提到把铅砣移走后， 导致塔又有很大的倾斜，这正说明在扶正塔的过程中，铅砣固定在塔上可能起了最重要的作用。故选A项。
20．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A．The position of the tower has been restored to what it was 182 years ago.
B．Hundreds of years of strain has weakened the tower's structure.
C．The tower doesn't lean any more after the straightening work finished.
D．People spent nine years in discussing about the straightening work.
C 细节理解题。文章第一段就提到“比萨斜塔不再倾斜那么多，在花费￡2 000万的项目拯救斜塔后， 它被证明是一个巨大的成功。” 扶正工作完成后，比萨斜塔还是会倾斜，C项与文章内容不符。故选C项。

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。一个穷人穿着旧衣服要饭，人们都拒绝他。当他设法弄到一套新衣服时，昨天拒绝他的人有礼貌地请他到家里吃饭。当穷人把肉给衣服吃时，主人很奇怪。穷人说是因为这身新衣服自己才有饭吃的，因此要给衣服吃。这使主人很羞愧。
21．B 根据下文“ Even his clothes were very much worn out.”可知他很穷。故选B。
22．C 根据“He did not have a house”可知这个人很穷，衣服破烂不堪，吃饭也很困难。with difficulty“困难地”，为固定短语。故选C。
23．D 根据上文“Even his clothes were very much worn out.”和下文“Sir, please come in and have some food in my house.”可知没饭吃，他是去乞讨，故用beg for。故选D。
24．A 根据“On seeing his old clothes”可知，看到他的破衣服人们觉着他是疯子，故用mad。故选A。
25．C 根据“Saying ‘Go away，’”可知，人们关上(shut)了门。故选C。
26．A 根据“Wearing those new clothes”可知，他不知怎么得到了一套新衣服。故选A。
27．D 根据“Sir, please come in and have some food in my house.”可知，主人说话很客气，应该是很有礼貌地(politely)邀请他进去。故选D。
28．B 根据“and sweet meals”可知，汤是美味的。故选B。
29．C 根据“a piece of meat”可知，此处表示他夹起(took)一块肉。故选C。
30．D 此处表示喂衣服吃肉，下文的“This is why I am feeding them.”也是提示，此空填feed。故选D。
31．B 根据“and was not able to understand”可知，主人看到他把肉给新衣服吃，感到很惊讶。故选B。
32．A 根据下文“ ... I am feeding them.”可知，是给衣服吃肉。短语offer sth.to sb.意为“向某人提供某物”。故选A。
33．C 根据下文“I obtained food due to these clothes”可知，因为这个人穿上新衣服，主人才请他进来吃饭，故此空用clothes。故选C。
34．A 根据“I obtained food due to these clothes”可知，因为新衣服他才被邀请进来吃饭，所以这个人很感激他的新衣服，故用grateful。故选A。
35．B 根据上文“Just because of my new ______， you gave me food today, but yesterday you asked me to go away.”可知，主人听了他的话，为自己的行为感到羞愧。故选B。

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者的一次生活经历，启迪读者：给予和索取是相互的。
36．when 考查连词。hardly ... when ...意为“一……就……”为固定句式，故用连词when引导时间状语从句。故填when。
37．to 考查介词。say hello to sb.意为“向某人问好”，是习惯用法。故填to。
38．surprised 考查形容词。根据空格前系动词was可知，此处应用形容词作表语， ed结尾的形容词，一般修饰人。故填surprised。
39．strangers 考查名词复数。stranger是可数名词，零冠词名词复数表泛指。故填strangers。
40．a 考查冠词。a handful of意为“一把……”，是固定搭配，空格处应用不定冠词a。
41．explaining 考查非谓语动词。动词explain和主句谓语动词之间没有连词，可知此处应用非谓语动词，且explain和逻辑主语he之间为主动关系，故用现在分词形式作状语。故填explaining。
42．lovely 考查形容词。根据空前系动词were可知，此处应填表语，故用love的形容词形式lovely。
43．enjoyed 考查时态。此处为and并列句的谓语动词，根据上下文语境可知，事情发生在过去，故用一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式。故填enjoyed。
44．which 考查非限制性定语从句。分析句子可知，此处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词cherries，并在从句中作had的宾语，应用关系代词which。
45．generally 考查副词。修饰形容词应用副词，故用general的副词形式generally。
