三、阅读理解 (共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30分)
A
A long time ag ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o, a bishop (主教) named Nicholas lived in what is now the country of Turkey. No one knows much about him. There are stories that he often helped children in need. Many years after his death, Nicholas was made a saint (圣人). Then he became the patron saint (守护神) of children.
The story of Saint ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Nicholas (Santa Claus) began in the 4th century. By all accounts Saint Nicholas was a generous man, particularly devoted to children. After his death around 340 A.D. he was buried in Myra, but in 1087 Italian sailors stole his remains and removed them to Bari, Italy, greatly increasing Saint Nicholas’ popularity throughout Europe. 21·cn·jy·com
His kindness and fa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )me for generosity gave rise to stories that he could work wonders. Saint Nicholas became the patron saint of Russia, where he was known by his red cape (披肩), flowing white beard, and bishop’s cap. In Greece, he was the patron saint of sailors; in France he was the patron saint of lawyers, and in Belgium the patron saint of children and travelers. Thousands of churches across Europe were devoted to him and around the 12th century an official church holiday was created to honor him. The Feast of Saint Nicholas was celebrated on December 6 and the day was marked by gift-giving.
After the religion r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eform, European followers of Saint Nicholas dwindled, but the legend was kept alive in Holland where the Dutch changed his name to Sinterklaas. Dutch children would leave their wooden shoes by the fireplace, and Sinterklaas would reward good children by placing treats in their shoes. Dutch colonists (殖民者) brought this tradition with them to America in the 17th century and there the British name of Santa Claus came about. 2-1-c-n-j-y
36. From Paragraph 2 we can infer that .
A. Saint Nicholas was a generous man
B. no one knew Saint Nicholas in Europe before 1087
C. the remains of Saint Nicholas are still in Italy today
D. Saint Nicholas lived in Italy before he came to Turkey
37. The image of Santa Claus first formed in the story of .
A. America B. Britain C. Italy D. Russia
38. Which of the following statements is TRUE
A. The Feast of Saint Nicholas was decided by the government.
B. Saint Nicholas is the most popular among the sailors in Italy.
C. In Europe children leave wooden shoes for Christmas gifts.
D. During the church holiday people can get gifts from the church.
B
On Monday, December 10 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), Google Doodle(涂鸦) celebrated the 197th anniversary of the birth of Ada Lovelace. She is regarded by some as the world’s first computer programmer. Lovelace believed machines could do more than just math. With the help of Charles Babbage, she created the first mathematical formula (公式) for a computer. Google Doodle tells people how Lovelace’s idea influenced the world.
Google wrote on th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eir official blog, “We hope today’s doodle can inspire people to find out more about Lovelace, and about the contributions made by women in general to science and technology.”
Lovelace imagined w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat the world’s first computer would be like 100 years before it was built. Lovelace was born on December 10, 1815. Her father was a poet, and her mother was a mathematician. Her mother had her tutored in science and math. Lovelace followed in her mother’s footsteps, at last becoming a mathematician herself.
At 17, Lovelace beca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )me friends with Babbage, a professor of mathematics at Cambridge University. Babbage told her his idea to design a computing machine. Babbage and Lovelace often wrote letters to each other about it after that. In 1843, Lovelace added details to an article describing the machine. She included step-by-step instructions on how the machine would work.
While Babbage saw ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the machine as a calculator, Lovelace imagined a machine that could use symbols and rules to compute (计算) more than just math. She even wrote about it making music. Lovelace imagined that one day it would be possible to use a machine for an unlimited number of tasks. The only limitation would be the creativity of the user. The machine was not actually built until 1991. But Lovelace had imagined it nearly 100 years before that. It was the world’s first computer.
Lovelace is one of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the few female pioneers of the computer age. Google Doodle honors her by showing her vision (设想) from start to finish.
39. We can infer th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at Google Doodle honored Ada Lovelace mainly because of .
A. the various programs she wrote for computers
B. the computer she designed for Google
C. her great contributions to the field of mathematics
D. the first mathematical formula she created for a computer
40. What can we learn about Ada Lovelace’s mother
A. She was interested in poems very much.
B. She had a great influence on Ada Lovelace.
C. She didn’t think women should work on science.
D. She was a teacher who taught math in a school.
41. How did Ad ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a Lovelace most probably feel when she heard Babbage’s idea
A. Puzzled. B. Moved. C. Disappointed. D. Interested.
42. Ada Lovelace thought that computers can .
A. only be used as calculators
B. be used to make music
C. perform almost unlimited tasks
D. limit the creativity of their users

Maybe it’s my own point of view, but I am feeling the need to change the way I operate online. I’ll follow my instincts (直觉) and make changes accordingly (相应地).

Food is a must to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) our bodies, but sometimes we buy too much at a time. When it starts to go bad or when you keep it for just a bit too long, there are many other ways you can still use your food instead of throwing it away. Surprisingly, it doesn’t have anything to do with eating it, either.
Before throwing ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )away old banana peel (果皮), use it to shine metals and leathers that you have. Rub the peel against the surface and then polish (擦亮) it with an old cloth. Bananas are also good for reducing wrinkles (皱纹). Put a bit on the wrinkles, let it sit for a while, and then wash it off, and your wrinkles will disappear. Lemons are great to lighten your skin and hair. If you have unpleasant scars, put a bit of fresh lemon juice on them and leave it overnight. You’ll notice a difference in the morning. Apples can be used to help ripen (使成熟) tomatoes quickly when the two fruits are placed together in a paper bag and orange peels are great fire starters.21*cnjy*com
A piece of cold pot ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ato over your eyes can reduce redness on your eyelids. Mustard (芥末) can make you feel a lot better if you are suffering from a cold. If you use it to your chest under a wet towel, you’ll feel much better in no time. Butter can help you make all of those old necklaces shine again. If your dog or cat brings home fleas (跳蚤), using salt is a great way to get rid of them around the house. Just put some salt into the vacuum cleaner(真空吸尘器) and around the baseboards. Let it sit, and then vacuum the salt up. The salt kills the fleas. Be sure to throw away the vacuum bag or empty the vacuum bin immediately, otherwise some of the fleas can come back.
Everyone knows th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e trick of using club soda to get dark dirty marks out of our clothes. Beer can lighten your hair. If you are out of lemons, try to put some beer on your hair before going outside. Just don’t forget to wash it out after you come back home. Milk is great to remove stains, especially if your stain is some type of ink. Just put some on the dirty mark and watch it disappear bit by bit.
As you can see, th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ere are so many other uses everyday foods have around the house. So next time, before you throw any food away, just stop for a moment and think about all their uses mentioned here.
46. According to th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e passage, which of the following can be used to polish your leather shoes
A. Butter. B. Garlic. C. Apple slices. D. Banana peel.
47. How does the writer develop the passage
A. By analyzing data. B. By telling stories.
C. By giving examples. D. By making comparisons.
48. Which of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. Mustard can cure you of the cold quickly and totally.
B. Lemon can lighten your skin and hair.
C. Tomatoes can be used to reduce redness on your eyelids.
D. Club soda is harmful and will ruin your clothes.
49. Which of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )following can best describe the writer’s attitude in the passage
A. Approving. B. Concerned. C. Enthusiastic. D. Doubtful.
50. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage
A. To list some common sense in life.
B. To give us advice on making the best use of foods.
C. To prove that fruits can be used in many ways.
D. To tell us that there are many ways to enjoy food. www.21-cn-jy.com
四、任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
注意：每空格1个单词。
When you thi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nk of being blind, you might imagine total darkness. But most people who are blind can still see a little light or shadows. They just can’t see things clearly. People who have some sight but still need a lot of help are sometimes called “legally (合法地) blind”.
What causes blind ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ness Well, vision problems can develop before a baby is born. Sometimes, parts of the eyes don’t form the way they should. So, when the optic nerve (视觉神经) sends pictures to the brain, the baby’s brain won’t receive the messages needed for sight. Also, blindness can get passed down to a kid from parents through genes. Some illnesses, such as diabetes, can damage a person’s vision over time. In addition, blindness can also be caused by an accident, if something hurts the eye. That’s why it’s so important to protect your eyes when you play sports.
A kid with visio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n problems might see a doctor. The doctor will talk with the parents and the kid if the kid is old enough to describe what’s going on. The doctor might use an eye chart that contains letters of different sizes to find out how well the kid can see. Babies and little kids won’t be able to use the eye chart, but doctors can check their vision by doing special vision tests or something as simple as putting a toy in front of the child to see if he or she can concentrate on it. The doctor will also examine the kid’s eyes using special medication and lighting that can make him or her examine the eyeballs. Once the doctor knows what’s causing the vision problem, he or she can begin planning how to treat it.
Kids who are blin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d can still learn and develop normally, but they generally need to make the most of the senses that they do have, such as touch, hearing, smell, and taste. For example, they can learn to read by touching letters in raised dots called Braille. Hearing is another important sense if a kid has vision problems. Some devices can read out loud what’s written on a page. With special equipment, a blind kid can read almost anything. What’s more, kids who are blind might attend a special school, or they might attend regular classes, aided by special devices and specialists. As a result, many blind people have gone on to do amazing things in many different fields, including music, the arts, and even sports.

One possible version：
In the future, I hop ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e to have such a car. First of all, it will be operated by an advanced robot, which can avoid traffic accidents with the aid of high technology. Secondly, my car can be folded easily so that it can take up less room when I am not using it. Thirdly, my car will have multiple functions. It can run on the street, sail in the water and fly in the sky. So when there is a traffic jam on the street, I can fly in the sky to reach the place I want to go. When having a holiday, I can fly my car to anywhere I want, which is convenient.
No one can predict ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )what the life in the future will be like. However, I’m sure that my dream of having a car with multiple functions will be realized soon.

A
A long time ag ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o, a bishop (主教) named Nicholas lived in what is now the country of Turkey. No one knows much about him. There are stories that he often helped children in need. Many years after his death, Nicholas was made a saint (圣人). Then he became the patron saint (守护神) of children.
The story of Saint ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Nicholas (Santa Claus) began in the 4th century. By all accounts Saint Nicholas was a generous man, particularly devoted to children. After his death around 340 A.D. he was buried in Myra, but in 1087 Italian sailors stole his remains and removed them to Bari, Italy, greatly increasing Saint Nicholas’ popularity throughout Europe. 21·cn·jy·com
His kindness and fa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )me for generosity gave rise to stories that he could work wonders. Saint Nicholas became the patron saint of Russia, where he was known by his red cape (披肩), flowing white beard, and bishop’s cap. In Greece, he was the patron saint of sailors; in France he was the patron saint of lawyers, and in Belgium the patron saint of children and travelers. Thousands of churches across Europe were devoted to him and around the 12th century an official church holiday was created to honor him. The Feast of Saint Nicholas was celebrated on December 6 and the day was marked by gift-giving.
After the religion r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eform, European followers of Saint Nicholas dwindled, but the legend was kept alive in Holland where the Dutch changed his name to Sinterklaas. Dutch children would leave their wooden shoes by the fireplace, and Sinterklaas would reward good children by placing treats in their shoes. Dutch colonists (殖民者) brought this tradition with them to America in the 17th century and there the British name of Santa Claus came about. 2-1-c-n-j-y

On Monday, December 10 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), Google Doodle(涂鸦) celebrated the 197th anniversary of the birth of Ada Lovelace. She is regarded by some as the world’s first computer programmer. Lovelace believed machines could do more than just math. With the help of Charles Babbage, she created the first mathematical formula (公式) for a computer. Google Doodle tells people how Lovelace’s idea influenced the world.
Google wrote on th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eir official blog, “We hope today’s doodle can inspire people to find out more about Lovelace, and about the contributions made by women in general to science and technology.”
Lovelace imagined w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat the world’s first computer would be like 100 years before it was built. Lovelace was born on December 10, 1815. Her father was a poet, and her mother was a mathematician. Her mother had her tutored in science and math. Lovelace followed in her mother’s footsteps, at last becoming a mathematician herself.
At 17, Lovelace beca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )me friends with Babbage, a professor of mathematics at Cambridge University. Babbage told her his idea to design a computing machine. Babbage and Lovelace often wrote letters to each other about it after that. In 1843, Lovelace added details to an article describing the machine. She included step-by-step instructions on how the machine would work.
While Babbage saw ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the machine as a calculator, Lovelace imagined a machine that could use symbols and rules to compute (计算) more than just math. She even wrote about it making music. Lovelace imagined that one day it would be possible to use a machine for an unlimited number of tasks. The only limitation would be the creativity of the user. The machine was not actually built until 1991. But Lovelace had imagined it nearly 100 years before that. It was the world’s first computer.
Lovelace is one of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the few female pioneers of the computer age. Google Doodle honors her by showing her vision (设想) from start to finish.
39. We can infer th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at Google Doodle honored Ada Lovelace mainly because of .
A. the various programs she wrote for computers
B. the computer she designed for Google
C. her great contributions to the field of mathematics
D. the first mathematical formula she created for a computer
40. What can we learn about Ada Lovelace’s mother
A. She was interested in poems very much.
B. She had a great influence on Ada Lovelace.
C. She didn’t think women should work on science.
D. She was a teacher who taught math in a school.
41. How did Ad ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a Lovelace most probably feel when she heard Babbage’s idea
A. Puzzled. B. Moved. C. Disappointed. D. Interested.
42. Ada Lovelace thought that computers can .
A. only be used as calculators
B. be used to make music
C. perform almost unlimited tasks
D. limit the creativity of their users

Food is a must to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) our bodies, but sometimes we buy too much at a time. When it starts to go bad or when you keep it for just a bit too long, there are many other ways you can still use your food instead of throwing it away. Surprisingly, it doesn’t have anything to do with eating it, either.
Before throwing ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )away old banana peel (果皮), use it to shine metals and leathers that you have. Rub the peel against the surface and then polish (擦亮) it with an old cloth. Bananas are also good for reducing wrinkles (皱纹). Put a bit on the wrinkles, let it sit for a while, and then wash it off, and your wrinkles will disappear. Lemons are great to lighten your skin and hair. If you have unpleasant scars, put a bit of fresh lemon juice on them and leave it overnight. You’ll notice a difference in the morning. Apples can be used to help ripen (使成熟) tomatoes quickly when the two fruits are placed together in a paper bag and orange peels are great fire starters.21*cnjy*com
A piece of cold pot ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ato over your eyes can reduce redness on your eyelids. Mustard (芥末) can make you feel a lot better if you are suffering from a cold. If you use it to your chest under a wet towel, you’ll feel much better in no time. Butter can help you make all of those old necklaces shine again. If your dog or cat brings home fleas (跳蚤), using salt is a great way to get rid of them around the house. Just put some salt into the vacuum cleaner(真空吸尘器) and around the baseboards. Let it sit, and then vacuum the salt up. The salt kills the fleas. Be sure to throw away the vacuum bag or empty the vacuum bin immediately, otherwise some of the fleas can come back.
Everyone knows th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e trick of using club soda to get dark dirty marks out of our clothes. Beer can lighten your hair. If you are out of lemons, try to put some beer on your hair before going outside. Just don’t forget to wash it out after you come back home. Milk is great to remove stains, especially if your stain is some type of ink. Just put some on the dirty mark and watch it disappear bit by bit.
As you can see, th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ere are so many other uses everyday foods have around the house. So next time, before you throw any food away, just stop for a moment and think about all their uses mentioned here.
46. According to th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e passage, which of the following can be used to polish your leather shoes
A. Butter. B. Garlic. C. Apple slices. D. Banana peel.
47. How does the writer develop the passage
A. By analyzing data. B. By telling stories.
C. By giving examples. D. By making comparisons.

注意：每空格1个单词。
When you thi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nk of being blind, you might imagine total darkness. But most people who are blind can still see a little light or shadows. They just can’t see things clearly. People who have some sight but still need a lot of help are sometimes called “legally (合法地) blind”.
What causes blind ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ness Well, vision problems can develop before a baby is born. Sometimes, parts of the eyes don’t form the way they should. So, when the optic nerve (视觉神经) sends pictures to the brain, the baby’s brain won’t receive the messages needed for sight. Also, blindness can get passed down to a kid from parents through genes. Some illnesses, such as diabetes, can damage a person’s vision over time. In addition, blindness can also be caused by an accident, if something hurts the eye. That’s why it’s so important to protect your eyes when you play sports.
A kid with visio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n problems might see a doctor. The doctor will talk with the parents and the kid if the kid is old enough to describe what’s going on. The doctor might use an eye chart that contains letters of different sizes to find out how well the kid can see. Babies and little kids won’t be able to use the eye chart, but doctors can check their vision by doing special vision tests or something as simple as putting a toy in front of the child to see if he or she can concentrate on it. The doctor will also examine the kid’s eyes using special medication and lighting that can make him or her examine the eyeballs. Once the doctor knows what’s causing the vision problem, he or she can begin planning how to treat it.
Kids who are blin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d can still learn and develop normally, but they generally need to make the most of the senses that they do have, such as touch, hearing, smell, and taste. For example, they can learn to read by touching letters in raised dots called Braille. Hearing is another important sense if a kid has vision problems. Some devices can read out loud what’s written on a page. With special equipment, a blind kid can read almost anything. What’s more, kids who are blind might attend a special school, or they might attend regular classes, aided by special devices and specialists. As a result, many blind people have gone on to do amazing things in many different fields, including music, the arts, and even sports.

One possible version：
In the future, I hop ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e to have such a car. First of all, it will be operated by an advanced robot, which can avoid traffic accidents with the aid of high technology. Secondly, my car can be folded easily so that it can take up less room when I am not using it. Thirdly, my car will have multiple functions. It can run on the street, sail in the water and fly in the sky. So when there is a traffic jam on the street, I can fly in the sky to reach the place I want to go. When having a holiday, I can fly my car to anywhere I want, which is convenient.
No one can predict ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )what the life in the future will be like. However, I’m sure that my dream of having a car with multiple functions will be realized soon.
