第二部分 阅读理解（共25小题；每小题2分，满分50分）
A
While there are certa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )inly many more varieties of English, American and British English are the two varieties that are taught in most English programs. Generally, it is agreed that no one version is “correct”. However, there are certainly preferences in use. The most important thing is to try to be consistent (前后一致的) in your usage. If you decide that you want to use the American English spelling, then be consistent in your spelling (i.e. The color of the orange is also its flavour — color is an American spelling and flavour is British). This is of course not always easy — or possible. The following guide is meant to point out two differences between these two varieties of English.
Use of the Present Perfect
In British Eng ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lish the present perfect is used to express an action that has occurred in the recent past that has an effect on the present moment. For example:
I’ve lost my key. Can you help me look for it
In American English the following is also possible:
I lost my key. Can you help me look for it
In British English ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the above would be considered incorrect. However, both forms are generally accepted in standard American English.
Possession
There are two forms ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to express possession in English: have or have got
Do you have a car
Have you got a car
While both forms are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) correct (and accepted in both British and American English), “have got” (have you got, he hasn’t got, etc.) is generally the preferred form in British English while most speakers of American English employ “have” (do you have, he doesn’t have etc.).
As you can see, there ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )are really very few differences between standard British English and standard American English. However, the largest difference is probably that of the choice of vocabulary and pronunciation.
41. By saying “no ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )one version is ‘correct’” in Paragraph 1, what does the writer mean
A. There is no best English variety.
B. Every English variety is perfect.
C. Every English variety has its problems.
D. There is no absolutely correct English variety.
42. English learners are advised to use 　　　.
A. the best English variety B. different English varieties
C. one English variety D. easy English varieties
43. Which of the following is NOT accepted in British English
A. Have you finished your homework yet
B. I’ve already seen that film. It’s interesting.21*cnjy*com
C. I lost my dictionary. I need to buy a new one.
D. I’ve just had lunch. I’m full.
44. If you prefer American English, you’ll most probably say “　　　”.www-2-1-cnjy-com
A. Do you have an MP5 player B. Have you got an MP5 player
C. He hasn’t got any friends. D. Has she really got an iPhone 5
45. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. The pronunciati ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on differences between American and British English.
B. The vocabulary differences between American and British English.
C. The spelling differences between American and British English.
D. The grammar differences between American and British English.
B
“Satellite” is any ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )object that orbits another object, held close by gravity. The moon is a satellite of the Earth, and the Earth is a satellite of the sun. These are natural satellites. Manmade satellites, which are built on Earth and launched into space, are used for communications, scientific studies and military applications (军事用途).
In the last 50 ye ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ars, human beings have launched thousands of artificial satellites into space. When a satellite stops working, it usually falls back toward the Earth and burns up in the atmosphere. Satellites at high altitudes, however, sometimes remain in Earth’s orbit.
Later, they may fa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll apart or break into thousands of smaller pieces. The higher the satellite, the longer it stays in orbit, and the more likely it is to fall apart. The pieces may stay in orbit for years, decades or even centuries.
Most pieces fly thr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ough space at more than 20 times the speed that sound travels on Earth. Going that fast, even the smallest pieces mean big troubles for spacecrafts. For example, a tiny stone in orbit around the Earth can have as much energy as a bowling ball going 500 miles per hour, or a car going 30 miles per hour.
In 1983, a sma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll gouge (半圆凿) appeared in one window of the space shuttle Challenger while it was in space. When the shuttle returned to the Earth and scientists analyzed the window, they found that the crack was caused by a tiny, orbiting fleck (微粒). If the shuttle had been struck by a larger piece of junk, the astronauts might have been in danger.
Scientists ke ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ep track of the largest pieces. When the shuttle is in orbit, for example, their attention is on nearby junk that may get in the way. If there is even a small chance of a collision, then the shuttle changes direction.
46. What will happen if a satellite doesn’t function
A. It will fall back to the moon.
B. It will be destroyed by people on the earth.
C. It will stay in the earth’s orbit forever.
D. It will break into pieces but stay in Earth’s orbit.
47. Why does the auth ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or give the example of Challenger in Paragraph 5
A. To tell us how spacecrafts work in outer space.
B. To tell us the big trouble space junk may make to spacecrafts.【出处：21教育名师】
C. To tell us how fast space junk can travel in outer space.
D. To let us know more about Challenger.
48. How do scientists deal with the danger of space junk
A. By reducing its speed of flying through space.
B. By changing the direction of a spacecraft.
C. By collecting as much as possible.
D. By getting larger pieces of junk out of the way.
49. Which of the follo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )wing might be the most suitable title of the passage
A. Satellites in control B. Astronauts in trouble　　21*cnjy*com
C. Dangers in orbit D. Flying in space
50. In which section of a website does the text probably appear
A. Entertainment. B. Science.
C. Lifestyles. D. Careers.

Robert Rosenthal an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d Lenore Jacobson report and discuss the Pygmalion Effect in the classroom in details. In their study, they showed that if teachers were led to expect better performance from some children, then the children did show that way.【版权所有：21教育】
The purpose of th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e experiment was to support the hypothesis (假设) that reality can be influenced by the expectations of others. This influence can be beneficial as well as harmful. The effect, however, is tested in real life situations.
All students in a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )single Californian elementary school were given an IQ test at the beginning of the study. These scores were not shown to the teachers. The teachers were told that some of their students could be expected to perform better than expected in comparison to their classmates. Their names were made known to the teachers. At the end of the study all students were again tested with the same IQ test. All six graders in both experimental and control groups showed a small difference in IQ from pretest (测试前) to posttest. However, the first and second graders showed big differences favoring the experimental group. This led to the conclusion that teachers’ expectations, particularly for the youngest children, can influence students’ achievement.
In this experiment, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Rosenthal predicted that elementary school teachers may behave in ways that encourage the students’ success. The prior research that motivated this study was done in 1911 by psychologists regarding the case of Clever Hans, a horse that gained fame because it was supposed to be able to read, spell, and solve math problems by using its hoof to answer. Many skeptics (怀疑论者) suggested that questioners and observers were unintentionally signaling Clever Hans. For example, Clever Hans would be given a math problem to solve, and the audience would get very tense and he tapped his foot to the right number, thus giving Hans the clue he needed to tap the correct number of times.
56. What was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the purpose of the experiment done in the Californian elementary school
A. To prove that students are smarter than teachers.
B. To explain what the Pygmalion Effect was.
C. To help the teachers teach students better.
D. To prove that others’ expectations can influence reality.21世纪教育网版权所有
57. Before the experiment, the teachers in the elementary school 　　　.
A. were given an IQ test as well
B. were told nothing about those students
C. were told who would perform better in the class
D. knew the influence would be harmful to the students
58. What can we learn from the result of the experiment
A. Teachers all behaved in the way they were told.
B. Teachers’ expectations wouldn’t influence six graders.
C. Six graders showed a big difference in IQ after the test.
D. Teachers’ expectations influenced the younger children better.
59. The example of the horse in the last paragraph shows that 　　　.
A. it would be better influenced as it grew older
B. it would become more nervous as the audience encouraged it
C. it wouldn’t become famous without the help of the audience
D. it would solv ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e math problems better by the expectations of the audience
60. The passage is mainly about 　　　.
A. the test of the Pygmalion Effect
B. the process of the Pygmalion Effect
C. the Pygmalion Effect on animals
D. the history of the Pygmalion Effect

Australian E ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nglish began separating from British English shortly after the foundation of the Australian penal colony (罪犯流放地) of New South Wales in 1788. British convicts sent there, including cockneys (伦敦人) from London, came mostly from large English cities. They were joined by free settlers, military personnel and officials, often with their families. However, many of the convicts were Irish, with at least 25% directly from Ireland, and others indirectly via Britain. There were other populations of convicts from non-English speaking areas of Britain, such as the Welsh and Scots. The transportation of convicts to Australia ended in 1868, but immigration of free settlers from Britain, Ireland and elsewhere continued.
The earliest form ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of Australian English was first spoken by the children of the colonists born into the colony of New South Wales. This very first generation of children created a new dialect that was to become the language of the nation. The Australian-born children in the new colony were exposed to a wide range of different dialects from all over the British Isles, in particular from Ireland and the southeastern part of England.
The native-born ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )children of the colony created the new dialect from factors present in the speech they heard around them, and provided a way for the expression of peer solidarity (一致). Even when new settlers arrived, this new dialect was strong enough to turn away from the influence of other patterns of speech.
Records from the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )early 19th century indicated the distinctive dialect had appeared in the colony since the first settlement. In 1827 Peter Cunningham, in his book Two Years in New South Wales, described that the native-born colonists spoke with a distinctive accent and vocabulary, with a strong London influence. Anthony Burgess wrote that “Australian English may be thought of as a kind of fossilised (僵化的) cockney (伦敦腔) of the Dickensian era”.
61. Who didn’t go to Australia with the convicts
A. Miners. B. Soldiers. C. Officials. D. Free settlers.
62. Who created the earliest form of Australian English
A. Convicts sent to Australia.
B. Free settlers into Australia.
C. The native-born children of the colony.
D. People from Ireland and the southeastern part of England.
63. What happ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ened to the earliest form of Australian English when new settlers arrived
A. It changed quite a lot.
B. It was too strong to be influenced.
C. It was mixed with other patterns of speech.
D. It was influenced by other patterns of speech. 21·cn·jy·com
64. We can learn from the last paragraph that Australian English 　　　.21·世纪*教育网
A. had no identity of its own
B. was formed before the Dickensian era
C. was quite different from British English
D. was greatly influenced by London accent
65. What does the text mainly tell us
A. Who came to Australia first.
B. How Australia was colonized.
C. How Australian English was formed.
D. What the earliest language in Australia was.

[1] When people ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) talk of a virus these days, chances are that they are talking about computer viruses (病毒) that have the power to wipe out all the valuable work they may have stored in their computers. The softer the name of the virus, the deadlier it may get. Remember the recent Love Bug virus which created such trouble all over the world It came as an “I Love You” message and anyone who opened that love-filled e-mail was caught in the virus trap. 21cnjy.com
[2] What does a comput ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er virus do It aims at electronic objects that are programmed. The virus spreads through connections between these electronic devices (设备). For virus spreading experts, e-mail is a favorite method. 2-1-c-n-j-y
[3] But scientists ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) warn that this is not the worst that can happen. There is more, for people are also connected through phones. The next virus may actually aims at mobile phones, especially those that are programmed to do many tasks apart from just communicating. It would then be easy for a virus to infect (感染) those programmes and create problems. For example, these viruses may have the power to record your phone conversations and make others hear them. They could create problems with your electronic money accounts, or they could create a mountain of telephone bills for calls you never made. And that would be a disaster. A report on this was published in the New Scientist recently.
[4] One way ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )out would be to have simpler phones with not so many different functions. That way there would be fewer programmes for the virus to attack. But people want more and more functions added on. That would mean more software programmes to make the mobile phone perform all those functions. And that means the possibility of 　　 　.

One possible version:
Dear Julia and Rose,
You are welcom ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e to learn Chinese in our school. And the school has decided to arrange two Chinese classes for you every week. The time is between 7:00 and 9:00 on Tuesday and Thursday evenings in the Chinese Department of our school. A young teacher of English named Chen Dong, who is good at both English and Chinese, will teach you two. You can go to her office and discuss the details with her when you are free.
What’s more, we have s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ome suggestions for you on learning Chinese. Firstly, you’d better imitate the teacher carefully if you want to speak good Chinese. Secondly, the Chinese writing system is quite different from that of English, so you are supposed to spend more time learning how to write Chinese characters. Nothing is too difficult if you put your heart into it.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Wang Lin
