Ⅱ阅读 （共两节，满分50分）
第一节 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40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
In 1996, film director Roland Emmerich destroyed the White House—on camera. That was for his movie Independence Day, in which space aliens invaded Washington D.C.
Emmerich is blowing up Washington again in his new movie, White House Down. But this time the bad guys are terrorists.
White House Down is an action movie, but it also has an emotional side. Between the explosions and other special effects, the film deals with the relationship between the hero and his daughter.
The hero is John Cale, a soldier who serves in Afghanistan. He goes to the White House for a job interview for the Secret Service. When a terrorist bomb goes off at the Capitol, the White House goes on lockdown. John is still inside with his daughter Emily. They get separated during all the danger and disorder. John has to save his daughter - and, of course, the president.
Actor Channing Tatum plays John Cale. He needed to be in good shape for the movie, since he was to perform difficult physical scenes. The actor was already known for having a good looking body. Last year, People Magazine named Channing Tatum the "Sexiest Man Alive".
Actor and singer Jamie Foxx plays the President of the United States, James Sawyer. Jamie Foxx says his character is not modeled after President Obama although the character is African-American.
Roland Emmerich says he wants his film to be like the action movies of the 80s and 90s. It explores the serious theme of American national security. But it's also pure entertainment.
Critics are mixed about the movie. The New York Post says, "You couldn't ask for a more fun summer popcorn movie." But the Chicago Tribune calls it offensive and overblown.
( ) 26. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. The president in White House Down is modeled after President Obama.
B. Channing Tatum was named as the "Sexiest Man Alive" by Time magazine.
C. Critics have different opinions about White House Down.
D. White House Down contains no entertainment at all.
( ) 27. What is the theme of Roland Emmerich's new movie White House Down
A. Love.
B. Friendship.
C. American national security.
D. Relationship between father and daughter.
( ) 28. Which statement about the movie White House Down is NOT true according to the passage
A. It is an action movie full of explosions and special effects.
B. Channing Tatum is one of the leading actors of the movie.
C. President James Sawyer in the movie is an African-American.
D. It explores a serious topic and offers little entertainment.
( ) 29. The underlined phrase “goes off” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “______”.
A. escapes
B. explodes
C. destroys
D. appears
( ) 30. The passage is most probably taken from ______.
A. a travel magazine
B. a film magazine
C. a book on American culture
D. a book on political science
B
Americans celebrate the fourth of July with family gatherings, parades, speeches and fireworks. They also celebrate it with music. The national anthem (国歌) of the United States is The Star-Spangled Banner. Francis Scott Key wrote the words in 1814. At that time, America and Britain were at war. Francis Scott Key saw British forces attack Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland. –Through the smoke and fire, he could see a huge American flag flying over the army base. The next morning, after the battle, he went to see which flag flew over Fort McHenry. It would tell which side had won. Key saw that the American flag still flew. He wrote a poem re-creating the event. Soon after, music was added to his words. The United States Congress made The Star-Spangled Banner the national anthem in 1931.
Some people say The Star-Spangled Banner is difficult to sing. Others do not like the words. Some people have suggested that the United States change its national anthem. They say many other songs that celebrate America would be better. One of these is called America. It is also known as My Country, 'Tis of Thee. Samuel Smith wrote it in 1832. The music is the same as the British national song, God Save the Queen.
Some people think America the Beautiful is one of the best songs that celebrate America. Katherine Lee Bates wrote the words in 1893. Samuel Ward wrote the music. Many singers and groups have recorded America the Beautiful. Other people would like America's national song to be This Land Is Your Land. Woody Guthrie wrote the words in 1940. It became one of the most popular folk songs in America.
Years ago, Lee Greenwood recorded a song called God Bless the U.S.A. This song has gained new meaning and popularity since the terrorists attacked the United States, September 11, 2001.

More than 2.3 million couples get married in the United States every year. Sometimes a couple may simply go to a courthouse or city hall and get married by a judge or other officials. But more wedding ceremonies are big businesses, adding $70 billion to the American economy every year.
Weddings often require couples to plan ahead. Bic Decaro got married in 2003, 13 months after her future husband asked her to marry him.
"You know, we thought we wanted at least a year to just plan. And we thought that was just a choice we were going to make because that was what we wanted. But it turned out when we started calling around, a lot of venues were already booked."
The difficulty of finding a place or venue is not a surprise to Susan Smith, who is a professional wedding planner.
“In general, most brides want to get married on a Saturday night. So that is a limited date. And if they want the venue, they will have to wait until it's available or change their date. Also just the process takes much longer than what people think."
Susan Smith says weddings often also cost more than people expect. "It is very easy to get carried away. I mean with websites and television shows showing all about weddings, it's easy to see things that you can't afford and then you want them. And then it's easy to start to run over budget."
M.Z. Hemingway wrote in the Wall Street Journal newspaper in 2007 that she went to a wedding expo five months before her wedding. A wedding expo is an event where couples can look at every type of business selling anything connected to weddings. She discovered that businesses offering the best flowers, cakes and wedding photos were already scheduled for the day she wanted.
( ) 36. According to Susan Smith, why is it difficult for couples to find a place for their wedding ceremonies
A. Because too many couples want to get married on a Saturday night.
B. Because most couples can't afford the cost of renting a venue.
C. Because couples are too particular about places for wedding.
D. Because couples are too busy to find one.
( ) 37. The purpose of Paragraph 3 is ______.
A. to give an example to show that couples need to plan ahead for their wedding
B. to give an example to show getting married costs a lot of money
C. to explain why it is difficult to find a place to get married
D. to explain why so many couples choose to get married on a Saturday night
( ) 38. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that __________.
A. a wedding expo sells something connected to wedding
B. every couple will choose to buy things connected to wedding on a wedding expo
C. businesses selling things connected to wedding, enjoy great success in America
D. M.Z. Hemingway wouldn't get married as she had planned
( ) 39. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage
A. Wedding ceremonies help the American economy a lot.
B. Susan Smith's job is to plan wedding ceremonies for couples.
C. Websites and television shows have a great effect on the cost of wedding ceremonies.
D. A Saturday night is the best time for wedding ceremonies through the world.
( ) 40. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 probably mean
A. Couples can be easily cheated by websites and television shows.
B. Couples are easily influenced by media and spend more money on wedding.
C. Couples get attracted easily by websites and television shows.
D. Couples can't tell whether the information they see in the media is true or not.
D
Health experts have long noted the importance of physical activity. Exercise improves not only your appearance but also your health. Exercise helps to reduce the risk of some diseases, including heart disease, stroke, type-two diabetes, osteoporosis and even some kinds of cancers.
America’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. About 600,000 Americans die of heart disease every year. High blood pressure and high cholesterol (胆固醇) levels in blood can increase the risk of heart disease. Medical experts say both can be reduced through normal exercise.
Physical activity is also known to increase the release of endorphins (内啡肽). These chemicals reduce feelings of pain. They also help people feel happier and more peaceful. There is a debate about exactly what causes the brain to release endorphins. Some experts believe it is the act of exercise itself. Others say it is the feeling one gets from having met an exercise goal. Either way, the two things work together when it comes to improving one's emotional health.
Exercise improves your energy levels by increasing the flow of blood to the heart and blood vessels. One of the main reasons why people exercise is to control or reduce their weight. Physical activity burns calories — the energy stored in food. The more calories you burn, the easier it is to control or reduce your weight.
So exactly how much exercise do you need to do to gain all of these great health effects Experts say it is easier than you think. In 2008, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released its first ever Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. The report included suggestions for young people, adults, disabled persons and those with long-term health problems.
( ) 41. This passage is mainly about ______.
A. some advice about physical activity
B. how much exercise people need to keep healthy
C. the importance and the benefits of exercise
D. the more exercise we do, the healthier we are
( ) 42. Which disease is the leading cause of death in the United States
A. Cancer.
B. Heart disease.
C. Aids.
D. Stroke.
( ) 43. How does normal exercise help to reduce the risk of heart disease
A. By reducing high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels.
B. By increasing the flow of the blood to the heart.
C. By increasing the release of endorphins.
D. By burning calories in one's body.
( ) 44. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage
A. Exercise can improve both one's appearance and health.
B. Endorphins are very important chemicals in one's brain.
C. Experts' opinions are divided about what causes the brain to release endorphins.
D. To control or reduce their weight is the only reason why people exercise.
( ) 45. What will most probably be talked about in the next paragraph of the passage
A. Physical activity suggestions for different people.
B. The healthy effects of exercise.
C. How to avoid the harmful effects of over exercise.
D. Dietary guidelines for staying healthy.

Different people like different kinds of music.

The author advises us to wear sunglasses, prevent computer eyestrain and use protections to prevent eye injuries in our life to protect our vision.
Our eyes are important to each of us. We couldn’t live or work normally without good vision. Therefore, it is important for us to take good care of them in our work and life.
To protect our vision, there are some things we can do. We’d better take regular eye tests, at least twice a year so that we can discover eye diseases in advance and treat them in time. We shouldn’t stay in front of computers or TV sets for too long, either. Don’t forget to take a break for a while. In addition, we’d better take some eye exercises from time to time so as to relax our eyes.
I do hope that each of us can have good vision all through our lives.

Ⅱ阅读 （共两节，满分50分）
第一节 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40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
In 1996, film director Roland Emmerich destroyed the White House—on camera. That was for his movie Independence Day, in which space aliens invaded Washington D.C.
Emmerich is blowing up Washington again in his new movie, White House Down. But this time the bad guys are terrorists.
White House Down is an action movie, but it also has an emotional side. Between the explosions and other special effects, the film deals with the relationship between the hero and his daughter.
The hero is John Cale, a soldier who serves in Afghanistan. He goes to the White House for a job interview for the Secret Service. When a terrorist bomb goes off at the Capitol, the White House goes on lockdown. John is still inside with his daughter Emily. They get separated during all the danger and disorder. John has to save his daughter - and, of course, the president.
Actor Channing Tatum plays John Cale. He needed to be in good shape for the movie, since he was to perform difficult physical scenes. The actor was already known for having a good looking body. Last year, People Magazine named Channing Tatum the "Sexiest Man Alive".
Actor and singer Jamie Foxx plays the President of the United States, James Sawyer. Jamie Foxx says his character is not modeled after President Obama although the character is African-American.
Roland Emmerich says he wants his film to be like the action movies of the 80s and 90s. It explores the serious theme of American national security. But it's also pure entertainment.
Critics are mixed about the movie. The New York Post says, "You couldn't ask for a more fun summer popcorn movie." But the Chicago Tribune calls it offensive and overblown.
( ) 26. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. The president in White House Down is modeled after President Obama.
B. Channing Tatum was named as the "Sexiest Man Alive" by Time magazine.
C. Critics have different opinions about White House Down.
D. White House Down contains no entertainment at all.
( ) 27. What is the theme of Roland Emmerich's new movie White House Down
A. Love.
B. Friendship.
C. American national security.
D. Relationship between father and daughter.
( ) 28. Which statement about the movie White House Down is NOT true according to the passage
A. It is an action movie full of explosions and special effects.
B. Channing Tatum is one of the leading actors of the movie.
C. President James Sawyer in the movie is an African-American.
D. It explores a serious topic and offers little entertainment.
( ) 29. The underlined phrase “goes off” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “______”.
A. escapes
B. explodes
C. destroys
D. appears
( ) 30. The passage is most probably taken from ______.
A. a travel magazine
B. a film magazine
C. a book on American culture
D. a book on political science
B
Americans celebrate the fourth of July with family gatherings, parades, speeches and fireworks. They also celebrate it with music. The national anthem (国歌) of the United States is The Star-Spangled Banner. Francis Scott Key wrote the words in 1814. At that time, America and Britain were at war. Francis Scott Key saw British forces attack Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland. –Through the smoke and fire, he could see a huge American flag flying over the army base. The next morning, after the battle, he went to see which flag flew over Fort McHenry. It would tell which side had won. Key saw that the American flag still flew. He wrote a poem re-creating the event. Soon after, music was added to his words. The United States Congress made The Star-Spangled Banner the national anthem in 1931.
Some people say The Star-Spangled Banner is difficult to sing. Others do not like the words. Some people have suggested that the United States change its national anthem. They say many other songs that celebrate America would be better. One of these is called America. It is also known as My Country, 'Tis of Thee. Samuel Smith wrote it in 1832. The music is the same as the British national song, God Save the Queen.
Some people think America the Beautiful is one of the best songs that celebrate America. Katherine Lee Bates wrote the words in 1893. Samuel Ward wrote the music. Many singers and groups have recorded America the Beautiful. Other people would like America's national song to be This Land Is Your Land. Woody Guthrie wrote the words in 1940. It became one of the most popular folk songs in America.
Years ago, Lee Greenwood recorded a song called God Bless the U.S.A. This song has gained new meaning and popularity since the terrorists attacked the United States, September 11, 2001.

More than 2.3 million couples get married in the United States every year. Sometimes a couple may simply go to a courthouse or city hall and get married by a judge or other officials. But more wedding ceremonies are big businesses, adding $70 billion to the American economy every year.
Weddings often require couples to plan ahead. Bic Decaro got married in 2003, 13 months after her future husband asked her to marry him.
"You know, we thought we wanted at least a year to just plan. And we thought that was just a choice we were going to make because that was what we wanted. But it turned out when we started calling around, a lot of venues were already booked."
The difficulty of finding a place or venue is not a surprise to Susan Smith, who is a professional wedding planner.
“In general, most brides want to get married on a Saturday night. So that is a limited date. And if they want the venue, they will have to wait until it's available or change their date. Also just the process takes much longer than what people think."
Susan Smith says weddings often also cost more than people expect. "It is very easy to get carried away. I mean with websites and television shows showing all about weddings, it's easy to see things that you can't afford and then you want them. And then it's easy to start to run over budget."
M.Z. Hemingway wrote in the Wall Street Journal newspaper in 2007 that she went to a wedding expo five months before her wedding. A wedding expo is an event where couples can look at every type of business selling anything connected to weddings. She discovered that businesses offering the best flowers, cakes and wedding photos were already scheduled for the day she wanted.
( ) 36. According to Susan Smith, why is it difficult for couples to find a place for their wedding ceremonies
A. Because too many couples want to get married on a Saturday night.
B. Because most couples can't afford the cost of renting a venue.
C. Because couples are too particular about places for wedding.
D. Because couples are too busy to find one.
( ) 37. The purpose of Paragraph 3 is ______.
A. to give an example to show that couples need to plan ahead for their wedding
B. to give an example to show getting married costs a lot of money
C. to explain why it is difficult to find a place to get married
D. to explain why so many couples choose to get married on a Saturday night
( ) 38. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that __________.
A. a wedding expo sells something connected to wedding
B. every couple will choose to buy things connected to wedding on a wedding expo
C. businesses selling things connected to wedding, enjoy great success in America
D. M.Z. Hemingway wouldn't get married as she had planned
( ) 39. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage
A. Wedding ceremonies help the American economy a lot.
B. Susan Smith's job is to plan wedding ceremonies for couples.
C. Websites and television shows have a great effect on the cost of wedding ceremonies.
D. A Saturday night is the best time for wedding ceremonies through the world.
( ) 40. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 probably mean
A. Couples can be easily cheated by websites and television shows.
B. Couples are easily influenced by media and spend more money on wedding.
C. Couples get attracted easily by websites and television shows.
D. Couples can't tell whether the information they see in the media is true or not.

Health experts have long noted the importance of physical activity. Exercise improves not only your appearance but also your health. Exercise helps to reduce the risk of some diseases, including heart disease, stroke, type-two diabetes, osteoporosis and even some kinds of cancers.
America’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. About 600,000 Americans die of heart disease every year. High blood pressure and high cholesterol (胆固醇) levels in blood can increase the risk of heart disease. Medical experts say both can be reduced through normal exercise.
Physical activity is also known to increase the release of endorphins (内啡肽). These chemicals reduce feelings of pain. They also help people feel happier and more peaceful. There is a debate about exactly what causes the brain to release endorphins. Some experts believe it is the act of exercise itself. Others say it is the feeling one gets from having met an exercise goal. Either way, the two things work together when it comes to improving one's emotional health.
Exercise improves your energy levels by increasing the flow of blood to the heart and blood vessels. One of the main reasons why people exercise is to control or reduce their weight. Physical activity burns calories — the energy stored in food. The more calories you burn, the easier it is to control or reduce your weight.
So exactly how much exercise do you need to do to gain all of these great health effects Experts say it is easier than you think. In 2008, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released its first ever Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. The report included suggestions for young people, adults, disabled persons and those with long-term health problems.
( ) 41. This passage is mainly about ______.
A. some advice about physical activity
B. how much exercise people need to keep healthy
C. the importance and the benefits of exercise
D. the more exercise we do, the healthier we are
( ) 42. Which disease is the leading cause of death in the United States
A. Cancer.
B. Heart disease.
C. Aids.
D. Stroke.
( ) 43. How does normal exercise help to reduce the risk of heart disease
A. By reducing high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels.
B. By increasing the flow of the blood to the heart.
C. By increasing the release of endorphins.
D. By burning calories in one's body.
( ) 44. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage
A. Exercise can improve both one's appearance and health.
B. Endorphins are very important chemicals in one's brain.
C. Experts' opinions are divided about what causes the brain to release endorphins.
D. To control or reduce their weight is the only reason why people exercise.
( ) 45. What will most probably be talked about in the next paragraph of the passage
A. Physical activity suggestions for different people.
B. The healthy effects of exercise.
C. How to avoid the harmful effects of over exercise.
D. Dietary guidelines for staying healthy.

The author advises us to wear sunglasses, prevent computer eyestrain and use protections to prevent eye injuries in our life to protect our vision.
Our eyes are important to each of us. We couldn’t live or work normally without good vision. Therefore, it is important for us to take good care of them in our work and life.
To protect our vision, there are some things we can do. We’d better take regular eye tests, at least twice a year so that we can discover eye diseases in advance and treat them in time. We shouldn’t stay in front of computers or TV sets for too long, either. Don’t forget to take a break for a while. In addition, we’d better take some eye exercises from time to time so as to relax our eyes.
I do hope that each of us can have good vision all through our lives.
