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项中，选出最佳选项。
A
My friend and I would ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )stay the night at my grandma’s house when I was in high school since she had poor health and needed someone to be there for her. We would go through her closet and try on her clothes since she had a pretty collection of clothes for an old lady! We would dress up and try to be grown-ups by having coffee with brown sugar.
One night, we ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) decided to go to bed when we were both so tired. As we turned off the light, the dog barked. Frightened by the noise, we both pressed our backs against each other until we finally fell asleep. The next day she said she felt something hovering (盘旋) over her. I was not sure whether I felt it.
Several mont ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hs later, when grandmother had to move into our home for care, my friend and I would still go to her old place after school to try on her clothes. We unlocked the door and went upstairs to where she kept the clothes. As we walked up to the closet there was a loud “BANG!”and the door shook like someone had hit it. I told my friend as calmly as I could to turn around and go down the stairs and back outside. I was grateful she didn’t run because I would run her over in my hurry. As it was, I wanted to shove (推) her out of the way and make my escape first! We didn’t say anything on our way home.
We have only spoken ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of these things a few times as she now lives in the house, renting from my mother and I don’t want to repeat any old fears. I asked if anything had happened since then and she said one time when the kids were at school, she was downstairs doing the laundry and heard a man come in and move around the house. She figured it was her husband coming home for a quick break from his job and yelled, “I’m downstairs! I’ll be right up!” When she got upstairs there was none in the house.

Elephants are the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )only species on the earth known to have any recognizable death ritual (仪式). They show a strong interest in the bones of their own kind. They are often seen gently investigating the bones with their trunks and feet while remaining very quiet. Sometimes elephants that are completely unrelated to the dead will still visit their graves.
Elephant researcher ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Meredith recalls something in his book about a typical elephant death ritual that was witnessed by a South African biologist. The entire family of a dead elephant, including her young baby, were all gently touching her body with their trunks, trying to lift her. The elephant herd were all rumbling (低吼). The baby elephant was observed to be weeping and made sounds that sounded like a scream, but then the entire herd fell incredibly silent. They then began to throw leaves and dirt over the body and broke off tree branches to cover her. They spent the next two days quietly standing over her body. They sometimes had to leave to get water or food, but they would always return.
Events of eleph ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ants behaving this way around human beings are common throughout Africa. On many occasions, they have buried dead or sleeping humans or aided them when they are hurt. Meredith also recalls an event regarding an old woman who fell asleep under a tree. When she woke up, there was an elephant standing over her, gently touching her. She kept very still because she was very frightened. As other elephants arrived, they began to scream loudly and buried her under branches. She was found the next morning by the local people, unharmed.
George Adamson also ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) recalls when he shot an elephant from a herd that kept breaking into the government gardens. George gave the elephant’s meat to local men and then dragged the rest of the body miles away. That night, the other elephants found the body, took the leg bones, returned them to the exact spot the elephant was killed, and made the death ritual.
31. Elephants investigate the bones of their own kind to .
A. express sorrow at the death B. search for the hunter
C. clean their trunks and feet D. call for other elephants
32. Which of the foll ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )owing is TRUE about the elephant death ritual in Meredith’s book

A. humans are cruel to elephants
B. elephants have a good memory

D. there are often conflicts between elephants and humans
35. What is the best title for the passage

C. The death rituals of elephants
D. The feelings of elephants

Many adults enjoy a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) cup of coffee in the morning to have extra energy on a sleepy morning, and astronauts are no exception. But having a drink in space isn’t as easy as it is here on the earth. You can’t just make coffee, pour it into a cup, and drink it when there’s no gravity. You have to come up with a whole new way to drink, and that’s what scientists are trying to do.
“The coffee would b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e very hard to control in a normal cup,” said physics professor Mark Weislogel. “In fact, it probably wouldn’t come out of the cup. You’d have to shake the cup toward your face and hope that some of the hot liquid floats toward your mouth. When it comes to guessing what liquids will do in new systems, we are often in the dark.”
Weislogel believes t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat creating a big zero-gravity cup would help improve the lives of astronauts in space, so he and other researchers performed a series of experiments with liquids on the International Space Station (ISS) to see how they move upwards on surfaces in zero gravity.
In one of the tests, t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hey placed two surfaces very close together to create a very narrow tunnel. They wanted to see if liquid would easily flow up the tunnel. In another test, the researchers tried to figure out the best angle to place the narrow tunnel at so that the liquids would travel along the corners.
The end result is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a cup that doesn’t look like a normal coffee cup at all. One side of the cup has a very sharp angle and, in zero gravity, the liquid naturally “flows” up that angled side of the cup, right up to the drinker’s lips.
The zero-gravity co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ffee cup is currently being tested on the ISS by astronaut Don Pettit, who worked with the researchers while they were on the ISS and helped them invent it. “As you sip (啜饮), more liquid keeps coming, and you can enjoy your coffee in a weightless environment — clear down to the last drop,” said Pettit, who thinks that future humans on Mars will be using this kind of cup to drink from during celebrations!
Pettit shares a pate ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nt for this cup with Weislogel and two other mathematicians, who have two other patents for devices they created during this project.
36. The first paragraph mainly implies that .
A. coffee drinks in the morning can make astronauts sleepy
B. astronauts have difficulty drinking coffee in space
C. astronauts drink coffee in the same way in space
D. scientists has made coffee in zero gravity successfully
37. The underlined sentence in Para. 2 may mean “ ”.
A. scientists often have a shortage of light
B. scientists can’t see anything in the dark
C. scientists know nothing about it
D. scientists often drink coffee in the dark
38. What do we know about Weislogel’s cup
A. It looks like a very narrow tunnel.
B. Each of its side has a sharp angle.
C. It is the same as the normal cup in appearance.
D. The liquid in it will flow to the drinkers itself.
39. From what Pet ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tit said, we can learn that the zero-gravity coffee cup is .
A. practical B. light
C. nice-looking D. imaginative
40. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Future humans ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )will drink coffee to celebrate the landing on Mars.
B. How do you drink coffee when it’s in zero gravity
C. Experiments lead to many unexpected patents.
D. When can you drink coffee naturally in space
D
Homework will not b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e a concern for pupils attending a pioneering new secondary school in Norfolk, because it has decided to ban all homework. Instead, the 1,100 children will stay longer at school. They would do extra study at school as part of the extended (延长的) school day, which could last until about 5 pm.
Rather than s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )etting homework that pupils could struggle with at home, where there may be limited access to computers, they will do that as independent study in the day. We are saying that when they go home they should enjoy quality family time. There will not be any traditional homework. That has been really well received by parents who respect the fact that family time will be family time. But the school would still expect youngsters to study at home ahead of important exams.
Independent l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )earning at school would ensure equality because kids who get help with homework from parents might rely on others too much.
Peter Devonish, a tea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cher at the school, said, “Having the children at school a bit longer to strengthen their learning is a really good idea. They can have their time with the family.” But he warned, “I have figured out some disadvantages. One is that our school is in the countryside, which means it’s not so perfect to get children home at that time, and the other is changing staff contracts (合同) so they can be here until 5:30 pm.”
Mr. Devonish said they ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) also set pupils project-based homework, such as looking at an energy-efficient house, which allowed them to combine independent study with working with their parents.
Craig Morrison, anothe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r teacher, agreed that the issue of homework should be looked at. He said, “I can understand why people want to experiment with this. I would not say anybody can say they have got the issue definitively right over the years. And if they are starting a new school then it gives them the chance to try out new things.”
He added, “A l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )arge problem with homework has been that not enough is done with it. With homework, a lot of effort can go into it, so it’s about celebrating what children do rather than processing it in terms of marking it and handing it back.”
41. How will students spend their longer days at school
A. They will prepare their lessons for exams.
B. They will do homework with their teachers.
C. They will study all by themselves.
D. They will do homework on computers.
42. Why do some parents welcome the new idea
A. Because they needn’t help their kids with their homework.
B. Because their kids will enjoy quality family time.
C. Because their kids will be educated equally at school.
D. Because their kids can make their houses more energy-efficient.
43. What problem may Mr. Devonish worry about
A. The students may not think the idea is good.
B. No staff will agree to stay until 5:30.
C. More teachers are needed.
D. The students may get home late.
44. According to Mr. Morrison, the problem with homework is .
A. children truly make the effort to do it
B. how teachers mark it and return it
C. how much should be set
D. teachers and parents objecting to the plan
45. The passage is mainly about .
A. teachers who are asked to stay at school longer
B. a school where there is no homework
C. homework which students deal with
D. students who like quality school time

One possible version:
Faced with two ch ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oices: camping in the forest or going skiing in the snow, Alex did not insist on his wish stubbornly but decided on the win-win compromise: going to the mountains with a forest.
Compromise is a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )basic process in which both parties give up something that they want in order to get something else they want more. In Alex and Julia’s situation, neither of them could get all of what they really want if they would insist on their own wish. In the end, they both gave up something unimportant and reached an agreement that was acceptable to both.2-1-c-n-j-y
Therefore, in mos ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t cases, compromise is the best way for people to work out their differences. When people compromise, with each side losing a little in order to reach a satisfactory agreement, both sides can continue to live in harmony. However, compromise can work only when the issues under discussion are not that promise does not work when there is an actual difference from strongly held principles or ideas.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
I once wanted ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) something very cool in a souvenir shop, but my mother refused to pay for me because she thought it cost too much for a student. Finally, I decided on a much less expensive one and promised to work hard at my subjects, and my mother gave me the money for it. Life is always full of disagreements, and sometimes we should learn to compromise to get through them.【版权所有：21教育】

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
A
My friend and I would ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )stay the night at my grandma’s house when I was in high school since she had poor health and needed someone to be there for her. We would go through her closet and try on her clothes since she had a pretty collection of clothes for an old lady! We would dress up and try to be grown-ups by having coffee with brown sugar.
One night, we ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) decided to go to bed when we were both so tired. As we turned off the light, the dog barked. Frightened by the noise, we both pressed our backs against each other until we finally fell asleep. The next day she said she felt something hovering (盘旋) over her. I was not sure whether I felt it.
Several mont ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hs later, when grandmother had to move into our home for care, my friend and I would still go to her old place after school to try on her clothes. We unlocked the door and went upstairs to where she kept the clothes. As we walked up to the closet there was a loud “BANG!”and the door shook like someone had hit it. I told my friend as calmly as I could to turn around and go down the stairs and back outside. I was grateful she didn’t run because I would run her over in my hurry. As it was, I wanted to shove (推) her out of the way and make my escape first! We didn’t say anything on our way home.
We have only spoken ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of these things a few times as she now lives in the house, renting from my mother and I don’t want to repeat any old fears. I asked if anything had happened since then and she said one time when the kids were at school, she was downstairs doing the laundry and heard a man come in and move around the house. She figured it was her husband coming home for a quick break from his job and yelled, “I’m downstairs! I’ll be right up!” When she got upstairs there was none in the house.

Elephants are the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )only species on the earth known to have any recognizable death ritual (仪式). They show a strong interest in the bones of their own kind. They are often seen gently investigating the bones with their trunks and feet while remaining very quiet. Sometimes elephants that are completely unrelated to the dead will still visit their graves.
Elephant researcher ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Meredith recalls something in his book about a typical elephant death ritual that was witnessed by a South African biologist. The entire family of a dead elephant, including her young baby, were all gently touching her body with their trunks, trying to lift her. The elephant herd were all rumbling (低吼). The baby elephant was observed to be weeping and made sounds that sounded like a scream, but then the entire herd fell incredibly silent. They then began to throw leaves and dirt over the body and broke off tree branches to cover her. They spent the next two days quietly standing over her body. They sometimes had to leave to get water or food, but they would always return.
Events of eleph ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ants behaving this way around human beings are common throughout Africa. On many occasions, they have buried dead or sleeping humans or aided them when they are hurt. Meredith also recalls an event regarding an old woman who fell asleep under a tree. When she woke up, there was an elephant standing over her, gently touching her. She kept very still because she was very frightened. As other elephants arrived, they began to scream loudly and buried her under branches. She was found the next morning by the local people, unharmed.
George Adamson also ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) recalls when he shot an elephant from a herd that kept breaking into the government gardens. George gave the elephant’s meat to local men and then dragged the rest of the body miles away. That night, the other elephants found the body, took the leg bones, returned them to the exact spot the elephant was killed, and made the death ritual.
31. Elephants investigate the bones of their own kind to .
A. express sorrow at the death B. search for the hunter
C. clean their trunks and feet D. call for other elephants
32. Which of the foll ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )owing is TRUE about the elephant death ritual in Meredith’s book

D. The elephants ate nothing in the following two days.
33. The elephant watched the woman because it .
A. thought she was sleeping

D. wanted to wake her up
34. The killin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g is mentioned in the last paragraph to show that .
A. humans are cruel to elephants
B. elephants have a good memory

D. there are often conflicts between elephants and humans
35. What is the best title for the passage

B. The kindness and intelligence of elephants
C. The death rituals of elephants
D. The feelings of elephants

Many adults enjoy a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) cup of coffee in the morning to have extra energy on a sleepy morning, and astronauts are no exception. But having a drink in space isn’t as easy as it is here on the earth. You can’t just make coffee, pour it into a cup, and drink it when there’s no gravity. You have to come up with a whole new way to drink, and that’s what scientists are trying to do.
“The coffee would b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e very hard to control in a normal cup,” said physics professor Mark Weislogel. “In fact, it probably wouldn’t come out of the cup. You’d have to shake the cup toward your face and hope that some of the hot liquid floats toward your mouth. When it comes to guessing what liquids will do in new systems, we are often in the dark.”
Weislogel believes t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat creating a big zero-gravity cup would help improve the lives of astronauts in space, so he and other researchers performed a series of experiments with liquids on the International Space Station (ISS) to see how they move upwards on surfaces in zero gravity.
In one of the tests, t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hey placed two surfaces very close together to create a very narrow tunnel. They wanted to see if liquid would easily flow up the tunnel. In another test, the researchers tried to figure out the best angle to place the narrow tunnel at so that the liquids would travel along the corners.
The end result is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a cup that doesn’t look like a normal coffee cup at all. One side of the cup has a very sharp angle and, in zero gravity, the liquid naturally “flows” up that angled side of the cup, right up to the drinker’s lips.
The zero-gravity co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ffee cup is currently being tested on the ISS by astronaut Don Pettit, who worked with the researchers while they were on the ISS and helped them invent it. “As you sip (啜饮), more liquid keeps coming, and you can enjoy your coffee in a weightless environment — clear down to the last drop,” said Pettit, who thinks that future humans on Mars will be using this kind of cup to drink from during celebrations!
Pettit shares a pate ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nt for this cup with Weislogel and two other mathematicians, who have two other patents for devices they created during this project.
36. The first paragraph mainly implies that .
A. coffee drinks in the morning can make astronauts sleepy
B. astronauts have difficulty drinking coffee in space
C. astronauts drink coffee in the same way in space
D. scientists has made coffee in zero gravity successfully
37. The underlined sentence in Para. 2 may mean “ ”.
A. scientists often have a shortage of light
B. scientists can’t see anything in the dark
C. scientists know nothing about it
D. scientists often drink coffee in the dark
38. What do we know about Weislogel’s cup
A. It looks like a very narrow tunnel.
B. Each of its side has a sharp angle.
C. It is the same as the normal cup in appearance.
D. The liquid in it will flow to the drinkers itself.
39. From what Pet ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tit said, we can learn that the zero-gravity coffee cup is .
A. practical B. light
C. nice-looking D. imaginative
40. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Future humans ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )will drink coffee to celebrate the landing on Mars.
B. How do you drink coffee when it’s in zero gravity
C. Experiments lead to many unexpected patents.
D. When can you drink coffee naturally in space
D
Homework will not b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e a concern for pupils attending a pioneering new secondary school in Norfolk, because it has decided to ban all homework. Instead, the 1,100 children will stay longer at school. They would do extra study at school as part of the extended (延长的) school day, which could last until about 5 pm.
Rather than s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )etting homework that pupils could struggle with at home, where there may be limited access to computers, they will do that as independent study in the day. We are saying that when they go home they should enjoy quality family time. There will not be any traditional homework. That has been really well received by parents who respect the fact that family time will be family time. But the school would still expect youngsters to study at home ahead of important exams.
Independent l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )earning at school would ensure equality because kids who get help with homework from parents might rely on others too much.
Peter Devonish, a tea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cher at the school, said, “Having the children at school a bit longer to strengthen their learning is a really good idea. They can have their time with the family.” But he warned, “I have figured out some disadvantages. One is that our school is in the countryside, which means it’s not so perfect to get children home at that time, and the other is changing staff contracts (合同) so they can be here until 5:30 pm.”
Mr. Devonish said they ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) also set pupils project-based homework, such as looking at an energy-efficient house, which allowed them to combine independent study with working with their parents.
Craig Morrison, anothe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r teacher, agreed that the issue of homework should be looked at. He said, “I can understand why people want to experiment with this. I would not say anybody can say they have got the issue definitively right over the years. And if they are starting a new school then it gives them the chance to try out new things.”
He added, “A l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )arge problem with homework has been that not enough is done with it. With homework, a lot of effort can go into it, so it’s about celebrating what children do rather than processing it in terms of marking it and handing it back.”
41. How will students spend their longer days at school
A. They will prepare their lessons for exams.
B. They will do homework with their teachers.
C. They will study all by themselves.
D. They will do homework on computers.
42. Why do some parents welcome the new idea
A. Because they needn’t help their kids with their homework.
B. Because their kids will enjoy quality family time.
C. Because their kids will be educated equally at school.
D. Because their kids can make their houses more energy-efficient.
43. What problem may Mr. Devonish worry about
A. The students may not think the idea is good.
B. No staff will agree to stay until 5:30.
C. More teachers are needed.
D. The students may get home late.
44. According to Mr. Morrison, the problem with homework is .
A. children truly make the effort to do it
B. how teachers mark it and return it
C. how much should be set
D. teachers and parents objecting to the plan
45. The passage is mainly about .
A. teachers who are asked to stay at school longer
B. a school where there is no homework
C. homework which students deal with
D. students who like quality school time

One possible version:
Faced with two ch ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oices: camping in the forest or going skiing in the snow, Alex did not insist on his wish stubbornly but decided on the win-win compromise: going to the mountains with a forest.
Compromise is a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )basic process in which both parties give up something that they want in order to get something else they want more. In Alex and Julia’s situation, neither of them could get all of what they really want if they would insist on their own wish. In the end, they both gave up something unimportant and reached an agreement that was acceptable to both.2-1-c-n-j-y
Therefore, in mos ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t cases, compromise is the best way for people to work out their differences. When people compromise, with each side losing a little in order to reach a satisfactory agreement, both sides can continue to live in harmony. However, compromise can work only when the issues under discussion are not that promise does not work when there is an actual difference from strongly held principles or ideas.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】

Life is always full of disagreements, and sometimes we should learn to compromise to get through them.【版权所有：21教育】
