Ⅲ. 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,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
You will find that teaching styles in the US are much different from those in other countries. Teaching in the US is more interactive and less dependent on rote memorization. Students regularly interrupt faculty(全体教师)to ask questions or offer constructive criticism of part of the lecture. This is encouraged, since professors prefer discussion and debate to passive silence. You will also notice that the students and faculty tend to dress rather informally. Faculty will have open office hours for students to come by and ask questions.
Class sizes tend to be smaller in the US than in other countries. Although first-year students may have a few large classes, most classes are small, with 15 to 45 students. The large lectures will often have small recitation sections run by teaching assistants or faculty. Recitation sections review the material presented in the main lecture, supplement it with additional material, and provide an opportunity to ask questions.
Your grade in most classes will be based on your scores on tests, quizzes, and assignments. If the class has a recitation or discussion section, active participation can improve your grade. The better the professor and teaching assistants know you and your work, the better they will be able to assess your progress.
Unless the professor has indicated that collaboration(合作)is expected, you should do all of the work on your own. Collaborating with fellow students on individual assignments is considered cheating. Studying with others is OK, but assignments should be completed individually. Likewise, quoting a text word for word without properly attributing the source is plagiarism. Cheating and plagiarism are reasons for failing a class or even being expelled from school.
36. A student can do all of the following EXCEPT __________ in America.
A. interrupting the teachers
B. dressing rather informally
C. coming to the teacher's office anytime
D. criticizing the teacher's lecture
37. The underlined word “plagiarism” in the last paragraph probably refers to the act of _________.
A. quoting from others' works
B. stealing someone else's words, ideas, etc.
C. doing one's assignment with others' help
D. cheating in an exam
38. The last paragraph is mainly about __________ .
A. how a student can improve his grade
B. how a student should fulfill his assignment
C. how to collaborate with fellow students
D. how to punish a student
B
“I never expected that I would be so busy. Why can't there be 25 hours in a day ” complained Liu Ran in Hong Kong as mid-term exams were going on.
The 18-year-old girl was Shandong Province's top scorer in this year's college entrance examination. After graduating from Tai'an No. 1 High School, she chose the Chinese University of Hong Kong, although two famous universities in mainland promised her a place.
“I want to experience a more international school and social life in Hong Kong. I'm majoring in(主修)journalism, so Hong Kong will surely help widen my horizons, ” Liu said.
It is two months since Liu first set foot on Hong Kong. She missed home a lot in the beginning, because of the food and language problems.
“The canteen offers mostly Western or Guangdong food, but it's convenient to cook for ourselves in our dormitory if we like. People speak Cantonese and almost all classes are in English, ”Liu explained.
Her English and Cantonese are now both improving, but she still needs more time to adapt to the new environment.
“I'm happy that I made the right decision to study here. With a mix of the Eastern and Western cultures, there is so much to discover and learn, ” she said.
Liu has 18 credit hours of classes every week and 23 non-credit hours every other week. She has signed up for four associations including the Chinese Language Debating Team and the drama club. Essays, book reports and presentations also take plenty of time to prepare.
39. What would be the best title for the text
A. Hong Kong dreams
B. Looking for a job in Hong Kong

40. Liu Ran chose the Chinese University of Hong Kong __________.
A. to see more of an international school and social life
B. in order to enrich her experiences

A. She is improving her English and Cantonese.
B. She is allowed to cook in the dormitory.

Arriving in New York
There are three airports in New York. When you arrive at one of them, you can take a bus or a taxi to any place in New York.
Eating out
There are many kinds of food in New York. And you shouldn't eat at McDonald's every day. There are good restaurants in Little Italy and Chinatown, for example.
Hotels
There are lots of good hotels in New York. The best is the Plaza on the 5th Avenue, but you don't have to pay a lot to stay in the city, there are lots of smaller hotels and the YMCA near Central Park is great for young people.
Public Transport
In New York, there's a good bus and subway service. If you are planning to use the public transport a lot, you should buy a subway ticket for the journey because it's cheaper. In New York taking the taxi is a part of the city experience, so you should take the taxi at least once during your visit! But you don't have to use the public transport—there are lots of places you can go to on foot, like the Empire State Building, the 5th Avenue and the Central Park.
Places to see
Finally, there are a lot of places to see in New York—the Times Square, the Statue of Liberty, and so on. And you shouldn't go home without climbing the Statue of Liberty to enjoy the scenery of the city.
Shopping

Across the United States, there are several places where two independent towns grew together to become one city but kept both their names.
Winston-Salem is one of them. It's a mid-sized city in what's called the plateau (high land) , between the Atlantic Coast and the inland mountains in the state of North Carolina. The Winston part is a relatively new place, founded early last century. It's home to the nation's biggest open-air tobacco market.
The giant R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company's headquarters is in Winston-Salem, and Winston is the name of one of Reynolds' best-known cigarette brands. Fast-growing Winston soon surrounded the much older town of Salem, so in 1913, people in the area voted to combine them into a single place.
From a historical and tourist point of view, Salem, or Old Salem, as it's called today, is the interesting and unusual part of town.
Salem was founded in the 1700s by the Moravians. They spoke German, and their community was religiously based, with single men and single women living apart in separate dormitories. The Moravians greatly valued women's work and brainpower. In fact, one of the nation's oldest boarding schools for young women—the Moravians' Salem Academy founded in 1772—is still in operation.
Over the years, Salem lost its Moravian character. That all changed, though, when a nonprofit group began to rehabilitate the historic area. These days Old Salem is what's called a living history museum, with exhibits, music, and tours of 18th-century houses, taverns and Moravian dormitory buildings just seven blocks from the tallest skyscraper in Winston-Salem.
The historic community is booming again. Just as R. J. Reynolds is taking in millions of dollars making cigarettes across town, Old Salem is generating about $15 million a year in tourism revenue and donations.
47. From the passage we can know that __________.
A. Winston-Salem is the name of a city
B. Salem is home to the tobacco market
C. the city Winston-Salem has two names
D. Old Salem is the name of a tobacco brand
48. It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that __________.
A. the two cities benefited each other
B. Salem developed faster than Winston
C. R. J. Reynolds Company has moved into Salem
D. the combination meets the wishes of the people
49. The city Salem is special for its __________.
A. boarding school
B. lifestyle and tradition
C. respect for brainpower
D. religious belief
50. What will probably be talked about in the following part
A. Some other attractions in Winston-Salem.
B. How Winston makes profits from tourism.
C. Other examples of cities combined by two parts.
D. Something about the boarding school for women.

Dear Editor,
I'm the only daughter of my parents. So they worried about everything I do. For example, when I ride my bike, my parents won't let me to ride by myself. They are afraid I might fall off from my bike and hurt myself. They are taking great trouble to support a bike, with my mother even carrying a first-aid box. I'm not free to ride and I often say angry, “Why not let me ride alone ” Now, most family have one child. Parents want to do everything for our children. This does no good to them. Too many love from parents may prevent children from independent. In my opinion, parents should let their children do that they should do alone.
Yours,
Li Hua

答案与解析
1. A people为复数名词,此处为泛指的用法,故第一个空用零冠词;一般在地名前不用冠词,但是如果前面有形容词修饰时,表示类指,前面要用不定冠词。
2. D 句意:令民工们非常失望的是,他们的大部分工资被老板毫无理由地克扣了。keep back“留下,阻止,阻挡”,符合句意。
3. D catch up with“追上,赶上”;come up with“提出,提及”;put up with“容忍,忍受”;fit in with “与……相适应”。根据语境可知选D项,表示“你的假期安排必须与我的一致”。
4. B 句意:她的才智和经验使她有资格担任这个公司的要职。qualify “使具备资格”,符合句意。
5. A 句意:安全驾驶规则适用于每个人,因为生命是最重要的。apply to“适用于”,符合句意。
6. A 句意:为了安全起见,老师建议家长不要让12岁以下的孩子骑自行车上学。这里是recommend引起的宾语从句,从句谓语用“(should+)动词原形”的形式,should可以省略,故选A项。
7. C think over“仔细考虑”;hand over“交出,送交”;take over“接管,接任”;go over“查看,重温”。根据句意,选C项。
8. A 句意:(学校)要求学生不得在校园里使用手机,因此你很少看到他们用手机。require后的主语从句的谓语用“(should+)动词原形”;seldom位于句首时,句子用倒装语序。
9. D 句意:只有在被带到警察局后,这个年轻人才承认他从其他乘客那儿偷了一些钱。acknowledge“承认”,符合句意。
10. C 考查非谓语动词。句意:怀特老师向她的学生展示了一些从图书馆借来的旧地图。maps 与borrow之间为被动关系,因此空格处应用过去分词作后置定语,故答案为C项。
11. B 句意:富人们只忙于赚钱,而对于工人的需求和福利却不关心。occupy oneself in doing sth.“忙于做某事,专心于做某事”。
12. A make an apology to sb. for doing sth.“因做某事而向某人道歉”。
13. B 句意:大学毕业后,我休息了一段时间去旅游,结果证明这是一个明智的决定。分析句子结构可知,第二个逗号后是一个非限制性定语从句,排除A项;定语从句缺少主语,排除C、D两项;先行词是逗号前的整个句子,所以选择which。which可以引导非限制性定语从句,并且指代整个句子的内容。
14. C 句意:既然他有那么多的工作要做,明天他陪你去上海是不可能的。out of the question“不可能”,而A、B、D三项意为“没问题”。
15. D 句意:“约翰逊教授,恐怕我这个周不能完成这份报告了。”“没关系,下周怎么样?”学生对不能如期完成作业感到抱歉,老师表示通融。That's OK.“没关系”,符合语境。
16. C 从文中的第三、四句“Once in Japan . .. new skills and training.”可知,此处应为“原计划”,故选original。
17. A 这是我原计划的一部分,与to be并列的内容,由then可知是先后顺序,而不是选择或转折关系。
18. B 由句意和month的单数形式可排除A、C两项,another后接单数可数名词时不能与one连用。
19. B 从文中可知,“我”是从西雅图出发去了日本后,才感觉在日本的生活缺少一些东西,不习惯“我”的新生活。
20. C 文章开头即已指明“…to improve my English”,所以要学习语言,就应该去language school。
21. A research在此是“研究,探索”之意,可理解为“做调查”。也可以根据下文的“After... I decided to attend...”得出答案。
22. B 根据后面的“I decided to attend ... ”可知此处应是“comparing costs, programmes ...”之后的决定。
23. D A项price与costs重复,B、C两项的内容是相同的,不能选,故选D项。
24. A 根据“programme”与后面的 “Seattle Central Community College”的关系可知应用被动形式,offer在此处应为“提供,资助”的意思。
25. C 上一句“I held a four-year degree in advertising”是“我”想学习印刷以获取亲自实践经验的机会的前提,故选C项。
26. C would意思是“将会”,此处指在过去看来即将发生的事。
27. C introduce sb. to sth.在句中表示“使某人(初次)尝试某事”。
28. D 此句可从句子结构来分析,what既充当happened的主语又充当表语从句的引导词。
29. B enterprise意为“事业”,符合语境。
30. A 通常,形容词与名词的关系亲疏是决定与名词近远的依据。“learning”用来说明“experience”的特征。“real”用来说明“learning experience”的情况。
31. B go back to do sth.“回去做某事”。
32. A make very good sense意思是“非常明智”。
33. B 从全句看句子中缺少主语,可排除C、D两项。A项不定式表示动作即将发生,与文中所提供的情景矛盾,故选B项。
34. D have the chance to do sth.有机会做某事; show展示,表明。
35. D get sth. done意思是“使某事得以完成”。根据题意,D项正确。
36. C 由第一段最后一句“Faculty will have open office hours for students…”可知,教师办公室对学生有固定的开放时间,并不是随时都可以去。故选C项。
37. B “cheating”和“plagiarism”是两个并列的概念,而“plagiarism”所在句子就是对其含义的解释,因此可大致推断出它的意思。“plagiarism”的意思是“直接不加修改地引述”,即“剽窃”。
38. B 概括文章最后一段可知,本段主要强调学生要独立完成作业。
39. A 主旨大意题。从第三、第七段及上下文可知刘然来香港读书是为了学到更多知识,开阔视野,从而实现自己的梦想。
40. D 细节理解题。从第三段可知D项为最佳答案。
41. C 细节理解题。A、B、D三项在文中都有讲述,只有C项与最后一段内容不符,故C项不正确。
42. A 推理判断题。通读全文可知刘然对在香港的大学生活很满意。
43. B 细节理解题。根据Public Transport部分可知,共提到了三种公共交通方式,分别是bus, subway 和taxi。
44. A 推理计算题。根据最后一部分中的“you have to pay a special 8% tax(税)on everything you buy in New York”可知,除了商品的价格外,还要支付8%的税,因此A项正确。
45. D 细节理解题。根据第二部分中的“There are good restaurants in Little Italy and Chinatown, for example.”可知D项正确。A、B、C三项文中都没有提到,且都太绝对。
46. C 细节理解题。根据第四部分中的“there are lots of places you can go to on foot, like...”可知C项正确。A项应是乘地铁更便宜;文中提到在纽约购物要支付8%的税款但并不能说明纽约的东西都贵,故B项错误;文中建议不要错过自由女神像但并没有说不去就不能回家,因此D项错误。
47. A 逻辑推理题。文章第一段介绍在美国,两个原本独立的城镇会逐渐合二为一,第二段第一句就说温斯顿—塞勒姆就是其中的一个,由此可推知温斯顿—塞勒姆是一个城市的名字,故答案选A项。
48. D 逻辑推理题。从文章第三段中的“so in 1913, people in the area voted to combine them into a single place”可推知,人们投票同意将两个地方合并,所以是“满足了人们的愿望”,故选D项。
49. B 逻辑推理题。从文章第四段至第六段可知,塞勒姆是一个具有较长历史传统和独特风格的老城,同时又是一个较著名的旅游景点城镇,故选B项。
50. C 逻辑推理题。从全文可知,文章主要讲述“城镇合二为一”,其中作者先以温斯顿—塞勒姆为例,下面还要讲述类似的例子,所以C项“其他合二为一的城市例子”是接下来最有可能讨论的内容。

Dear sir,
I am a student of Senior Two. I am interested in the American middle school students' life. Now it’s summer vacation and I'm studying in America.
In order to improve my living ability, I go to wash dishes and do the cleaning in restaurants. I visit the Chinese living in the USA so that I know about their life and work. I often drop in at the American's houses to acknowledge their customs. I go to the American students' class to see how they are studying.
I have learnt a lot that I can't find in my textbooks.
I'll be back in a week.
Yours sincerely,
Liu Zhenguo
