Ⅲ.阅读理解
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。
The high-protein，low-carbohydrate(低碳水化合物) diets many people turn to for weight loss might have potentially harmful long-term effects on the colon，a small study indicates.
In the study，UK researchers found that a protein-heavy，low-carb diet created certain changes in the colon that could contribute to colon cancer risk.The study itself does not show whether high-protein diets really raise the risk of any colon diseases，but the findings raise that possibility.
Diets relatively high in protein and lower in carbs have been shown to help heavy people lose weight.“People should not be discouraged from losing weight，”Dr. Flint said.However，he added，they should make sure that any weight-loss plan includes adequate amounts of fiber and a high protein intake over months to years might have ill effects on the colon.
The findings are based on 17 overweight men who followed three short-term diets：a one-week menu plan to keep their weight；a four-week high-protein diet with reasonable amounts of carbohydrates；and a four-week high-protein diet low in carbs.
On average，the study found when the men were on the high-protein diets，they had reduced levels of substances known as N-nitroso compounds(亚硝基化合物) and other metabolites(代谢物) that have been linked to cancer.And when they were on the high-protein，low-carb diet，they had reduced amounts of fiber-originated compounds thought to be protective against cancer.
Exactly what those changes might mean for a person's health is not clear.But Flint said that the findings suggest that people should be cautious about consuming too much protein and too little fiber over a long period.In general，experts recommend that adults get about 28 grams of fiber per day－though it's not known whether that's enough for someone on a high-protein weight-loss diet.

Ⅱ.阅读理解
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。
A
Why do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in the world？A small group of engineers and robotics experts envision(展望) a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work.
One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute.It was called Groundhog and it looked like a golf cart.It used lasers(激光) to “see” in dark tunnels and map abandoned mines－some of the most dangerous work in the business.
The latest prototype is called Cave Crawler.It's a bit smaller than Groundhog，and even more advanced.It can take photos and videos and has sensors that can detect the presence of dangerous gases.Incredibly，the robot has a real sense of logic.If it comes across an obstacle it gets momentarily confused.It has to think about what to do and where to go next.Sometimes it throws_a_fit just like a real person.
Myles and his colleagues hope that robots like Cave Crawler will one day be used in rescue operations.“A robot could speed up the rescue process by doing reconnaissance(侦察)，” says Chuck Whittaker，a robotics engineer at Carnegie Mellon.“The robot can go ahead and，with its sensors，report what it has found and whether it is safe for humans to proceed.”
Using robots in rescue operations，though，is problematic.The lasers that guide the robots don't work in smoky environments so the engineers at Carnegie Mellon have experimented with sonar(声呐)and radar guidance systems，and with some success.
Some experts predict that robots in mines will serve much of the same fun_ction that they do in the automotive industry.The robots do the most repetitive and dangerous jobs，but won't get rid of the need for human workers.
16．The underlined phrase “throws a fit” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.
A．gets angry B．gets shocked
C．becomes confused D．becomes cheerful
解析：猜测词义题。此处是指矿山机器人遇到障碍时会感到困惑，并认真思考，如果问题不能解决时，也会像人一样大发脾气。
答案：A
17．The latest robot is more advanced than Groundhog mainly because ________.
A．it can map abandoned mines
B．it can see in the dark tunnels
C．it's smaller than Groundhog
D．it has a real sense of logic
解析：细节理解题。由第三段第四句可知最新型的机器人Cave Crawler有一定的逻辑推理能力，这是以前的机器人所没有的。
答案：D
18．We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.
A．the mining robots will have a very bright future
B．robots in the automotive industry must be improved
C．there will be no need for human workers in mines
D．robots in mines will cost a lot
解析：推理判断题。由最后一段可知，专家预测机器人将来在矿山上的作用会同在汽车工业领域的作用一样大，说明矿山机器人的前景非常广阔。
答案：A
19．What can guide the robots in smoky environments?
A．The lasers.
B．Sonar and radar guidance systems.
C．Command guidance systems.
D．Image matching guidance systems.
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知，在充满烟雾的环境中激光无法发挥指挥作用，于是工程师们改用声呐和雷达指挥系统并获得了成功。
答案：B
B
The website “FarmersOnly. com” calls itself an online dating and friendship finder.The idea started in the mind of a man，Jerry Miller in Ohio.He wondered how farmers could meet new people who understand the life of a farmer.Jerry Miller is not a farmer but he represents a lot of farmers.
As he tells it，the idea for the site was planted when a farmer told him one day that she was recently divorced and would like to date.But someone would invite her to meet for coffee at nine o'clock at night，when she had to start her day at five the next morning.
So，in 2005，Jerry Miller launched his website.“You don't have to be a farmer to be on ‘FarmersOnly. com’，but you do have to have the good old-fashioned traditional values of America's heartland.”
You also have to live in the United States or Canada to be a member of the site.Some services are free，but a full membership costs fifty dollars for a year.As of last week the site listed more than 58,000 members.Many of them are farmers in the United States.Others are students or workers involved in some way with agriculture.Jerry Miller tells us about thirty marriages in the last year have resulted from his website.
Some farmers have also found love through a group，Singles in Agriculture，which was formed as a nonprofit organization in 1986.It organizes gatherings that usually end with a dance，but is not a dating service.The purpose is to support educational and social activities that offer people a chance for friendship.Its website，“singlesinag.org”，says there are more than 1,000 members across the nation and as far away as France.
【语篇解读】 乡村生活的作息规律让农民的社交生活受到了限制，受此启发，专门为农民创办的网络约会与交友的网站应运而生。
20．Jerry Miller started “FarmersOnly.com” in order to ________.
A．help farmers
B．support traditions
C．understand farmers
D．represent farmers
解析：推理判断题。Jerry Miller是在听完一位女性农民的诉苦后才创办了这个网站，以为农民网上约会和交友提供方便，由此可推断出他创办网站的目的是帮助农民。
答案：A
21．Which of the following is true of “singlesinag. org”？
A．Its services are free.
B．It provides dating services.
C．Only farmers can become its members.
D．Farmers in France can't benefit from it.
解析：正误判断题。根据最后一段第一句中的“a nonprofit organization”可知这是一个非营利性机构，它创办的网站提供的是免费服务。
答案：A
22．The author of the text intends to ________.
A．advertise for the two websites
B．introduce two websites
C．encourage social activities
D．urge readers to help farmers
解析：写作意图题。作者只是客观地介绍了Jerry Miller创办的网站，顺便提及了另外一个网站，并没有发表自己的观点，所以作者意在对两个网站进行介绍。
答案：B
23．It can be inferred from the text that ________.
A．all farmers desire marriage
B．farmers are easy to meet new people
C．more farmers get divorced in the USA
D．the Internet helps improve farmers' social life
解析：推理判断题。由文中介绍的这两个关于农民社交的网站可推知因特网有助于促进农民的社交生活。

答案：A
4．The man has made________clear that he wanted the matter to be settled in a peaceful

C．where D．when
解析：考查定语从句。句意：发生在中国东部浙江省内的动车事故现场的清理工作已经完成，与此同时，事故发生地的铁路上的列车也已恢复服务。the railway是先行词，指地点，the accident occurred是定语从句，occur是不及物动词，从句中缺地点状语，故用关系副词where。
答案：C

over seventy students is really difficult.
A．personal B．private
C．single D．individual
解析：考查形容词辨析。句意：在一个由70多人组成的班级中，关注每一个孩子的个人需要是很难的。personal意为“个人的，私人的”，着重强调属于本人的；private意为“私人的，秘密的”，表示与公共相反的，不应公之于众的；single意为“单一的，单个的”，强调单独一个；individual意为“个别的，个人的”，区别于集体的，常用作定语。故选D。
答案：D
7．________told that you are not going to take part in the activity，we will wait for you.
A．Though B．Unless
C．When D．Whether
解析：考查状语从句。句意：我们将会等你，除非被告知你不打算参加这次活动了。根据语意可知，应选B。Unless told是状语从句的省略，补充完整应是：Unless we are told。

C．flooding；to lead D．flooded；leading
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：据报道，洪灾区的人们正在重建他们的家园，并且很多通往灾区的路也已经修好了。flooded意为“被水淹的”；many roads和lead之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故用leading。

答案：C
10．John really likes the new type of car that is on the market，but he can’t afford_______.
A．one B．it
C．this D．that
解析：考查代词的用法。句意：John真的喜欢正在销售的那款新车，但是他买不起一辆这样的车。one表示泛指，指代可数名词单数，同类不同物；it指同一个物；that既可指代不可数名词，又可指代可数名词单数，相当于the one。根据语意，应用one，表示同类不同物。
答案：A

答案：C
13．(提升题)So angry________at the party that he left without saying goodbye.
A．he was B．was he
C．he did D．did he

Ⅲ.阅读理解
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。
A
(2012年江苏卷)Franz Kaa wrote that“a_book_must_be_the_ax(斧子)for_the_frozen_
sea_inside_us.”I once shared this sentence with a class of seventh graders，and it didn’t seem to require any explanation.
We’d just finished John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men.When we read the end together out loud in class，my toughest boy，a star basketball player，wept a little，and so did I．“Are you crying？”one girl asked，as she got out of her chair to take a closer look.“I am，”I told her，“and the funny thing is I’ve read it many times.”
But they understood.When George shoots Lennie， the tragedy is that we realize it was always going to happen.In my 14 years of teaching in a New York City public middle school，I’ve taught kids with imprisoned parents，abusive parents，irtesponsible parents；kids who are parents themselves；kids who are homeless；kids who grew up in violent neighborhoods.They understand，more than I ever will，the novel’s terrible logic－the giving way of dreams to fate(命运)．
For the last seven years，I have worked as a reading enrichment teacher，reading classic works of literature with small groups of students from grades six to eight.I originally proposed this idea to my headmaster after learning that a former excellent student of mine had transferred out of a selective high school－one that often attracts the literary-minded children of Manhattan’s upper classes－into a less competitive setting.The daughter of immigrants，with a father in prison，she perhaps felt uncomfortable with her new classmates，I thought additional“cultural capital”could help students like her develop better in high school，where they would unavoidably meet，perhaps for the first time，students who came from homes lined with bookshelves，whose parents had eamed Ph.D’s.
Along with Of Mice and Men，my groups read：Sounder，The Red Pony，Lord of the Flies，Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth.The students didn’t always read from the expected point of view.About The Red Pony，one student said，“it’s about being a man，it’s about manliness.”I had never before seen the parallels between Scarface and Macbeth，nor had I heard Lady Macbeth’s soliloquies(独白)read as raps(说唱)，but both made sense；the interpretations were playful，but serious.Once introduced to Steinbeck’s writing，one boy went on to read The Grapes of Wrath and told me repeatedly how amazing it was that“all these people hate each other，and they’re all white.”His historical view was broadening，his sense of his own country deepening.Year after year，former students visited and told me how prepared they had felt in their first year in college as a result of the classes.
Year after year，however，we are increasing the number of practice tests.We are trying to teach students to read increasingly complex texts，not for emotional punch(碰撞)but for text complexity.Yet，we cannot enrich(充实)the minds of our students by testing them on texts that ignore their hearts.We are teaching them that words do not amaze but confuse.We may succeed in raising test scores，but we will fail to teach them that reading can be transformative and that it belongs to them.
36．The underlined words in Paragraph I probably mean that a book helps to________.
A．realize our dreams
B．give support to our life
C．smooth away difficulties
D．awake our emotions
解析：句意猜测题。作者作为一位教阅读课的教师，认为阅读的目的就应该是丰富学生的内心，在灵魂深处能引起学生的共鸣，因此，书籍就应当像斧子一样，敲开我们冰冻的内心，唤醒我们的情感，所以答案为D。
答案：D
37．Why were the students able to understand the novel Of Mice and Men
A．Because they spent much time reading it.
B．Because they had read the novel before.
C．Because they came from a public school.
D．Because they had similar life experiences.
解析：事实细节题，根据文中第二段“But they understood，when George shoots lennie，the tragedy is that we realize it was always going to happen”，可知，我们认为这样的事情总是会发生，是因为他们有相类似的生活经历，所以答案为D。
答案：D
38．The girl left the selective high school possibly because________.
A．she was a literary-minded girl
B．her parents were immigrants
C．she couldn’t fit in with her class
D．her father was then in prison
解析：事实细节题，由文中第四段中“...she perhaps felt uncomfortable with her new classmates”可知这位女生转学是因为她很难融入到她的新同学之中去，所以答案为C。
答案：C
39．To the author’s surprise，the students read the novels________.
A．creatively B．passively
C．repeatedly D．carelessly
解析：事实细节题，由文中第五段的内容可以看出在作者的要求下，学生们进行了大量的阅读，作者并没有把自己的观点强加给学生，而学生们所得出的观点也出乎作者的意料，因此学生们是有创造性地进行阅读的．从“The students didn’t always read from the expected point of view”，以及“I had never before seen...，but both made sense；”中更能看出答案为A。
答案：A
40．The author writes the passage mainly to________.
A．introduce classic works of literature
B．advocate teaching literature to touch the heart
C．argue for equality among high school students
D．defend the current testing system
解析：推理判断题，在一开始作者叙述了自己在阅读教学中发生的感人故事，文中最后一段作者又指出了多数教师在阅读教学中的误区，由此可以判断作者写此文的目的就是提倡阅读要以扩大学生视野，触动学生心灵为目的，而不仅仅是为了提高学生的分数，所以答案为B。
