第二部分 阅读理解(共20小题; 每小题2分, 满分40分)
A
When I was 12 years old, my family moved to a slightly nicer neighborhood in the Prince George’s County. I wasn’t happy about the move. I liked my school and enjoyed riding the school bus; I had befriended (照顾) every dog in my old neighborhood and made good friends with them; and I would miss my special reading tree. Besides, we had only just moved to Maryland the year before.
Still, a new place to explore is always a good thing. Directly in front of our apartment building was a small wooded hill and that immediately became my domain (领地). I named a certain space “Buckingham Palace”, and didn’t allow anyone to disturb me there. A few years after I returned from my university in New Jersey to live in that neighborhood, only on the opposite side of the hill, I was pleased to share my palace with the friends who came to visit.
As I was not permitted to wander far without a good excuse, it took me slightly longer to discover the large field that was over a ridge (山脊) by the road. The field was, after all, in the opposite direction from my school and I had no reason to walk that way.
However, one day I did go off that way and happened to look down into the field and see, to my delight, lots of yellow flowers. The field was simply covered with them. Carefully, I began to climb down the ridge into the field, planning to pick a rose for my mother. Alas, I didn’t get far before the field of flowers rose and flew away. I had seen not a field of flowers but a garden of goldfinches (金翅雀).
36. How did the author feel about the move when he was 12 years old?
A. Excited. B. Unhappy. C. Puzzled. D. Curious.

C. moved there just from Maryland
D. got along well with dogs in the neighborhood
38. In his new neighborhood, the author 　　　.
A. invited his friends to have a visit
B. made friends with many dogs
C. ran away from the school
D. found a good place and named it “Buckingham Palace”
39. When going near the field beyond the hill, the author 　　　.
A. found his school was opposite the field
B. found many goldfinches on the yellow flowers
C. realized what he had seen were goldfinches
D. picked a lot of yellow flowers for his mother
40. What does the author mainly talk about in the passage?
A. Exploring a new neighborhood.

C. The advantages of his new apartment.
D. The move of his family when he was young.
B
When we first moved into our present home, the houses only had a chain-link fence （铁丝网围栏）between them. People behind us were older；their children were in their late teens, and we didn’t see them or hear from them much.
Time passed and a younger family moved in. While at first we thought this would be fun for the kids, it quickly became a pain. If one of our children had a birthday party the neighbors would line up their children along the back fence to watch. We would have invited their children if they had been of the same age. While our older children had parties the neighbor’s little kids would shout through the fence the entire time; we knew it was time to get a new fence.
When we built our fence next to the old one, they not only paid nothing for it, but watched us have it built. After we built our fence the mother of the house would call over and ask who was jumping on our trampoline (蹦床). She could only see the tops of their heads and couldn’t figure out who it was. Good people, just too much interest in us. Years later they rebuilt their houses and built a pretty fence between the houses next to the old one. They were not surprised that we didn’t want to pay for it. I have to admit their fence is much prettier than our wooden one.
Our yard is next to four other homes; each of the families has had his own home with a strong fence. We have left ours in place. While we love all our neighbors we are glad we have fences between each of us. Only in this way can we protect our little privacy (隐私), as fences certainly do make good neighbors.
41. When the author’s older children had a party, 　　　.
A. his neighbor’s children also had a party as they did
B. they would invite his neighbor’s children to attend it
C. his neighbor’s children would shout behind the fence

42. Why did the author’s home have a wooden fence built?
A. The wooden fence looked more beautiful.
B. With the fence his home could become safer.
C. They didn’t want their little privacy to be known.
D. The author’s family didn’t like their new neighbor.
43. How did the mother know the children were jumping on the trampoline?
A. She learned about it by telephoning.
B. She saw the tops of the children’s heads.
C. She heard the sound of the children’s jumping.
D. Her children told her about it.
44. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The author’s neighbors all have built strong fences.
B. Old people living behind liked children very much.
C. The young neighbors wanted the author to pay for the fence.

C. the author thinks that the fences destroy the friendship between the neighbors
D. the author’s family was not a big one when the younger family moved here

During an earthquake, you should need to know a thing or two on what to do. If the earthquake strikes while you’re inside a house, you should lie on the floor and take cover under a strong table or other furniture. If there is no furniture you can cover your head with your arms and keep still in the corner of the room. You should remain away from windows, glass walls, or anything that can fall.
If you are in bed, stay still. Hold firmly onto your bed and make use of a pillow (枕头) to safeguard your head. You may use a doorway or shelter but only when it is close to you. It should also be considered whether it is strong enough to deal with the load. Do not use lifts, even when they work. Electricity may go out at any time. Many injuries happen when people try to rush out. This means you ought to stay still in your house or perhaps wherever you are.
When you are outdoors, you should be far away from buildings, power wires or lights. You should be in the open until the quake stops. Remember that many earthquake deaths outside the house come from debris (碎片), falling walls, flying glass and other falling objects. If an earthquake strikes and you are driving, you pull up to the side of the highway and stop as quickly as possible. You ought not to stop under trees, buildings or power wires. Don’t stop in the middle of the street since it could trouble others.
When trapped, you shouldn’t move. Your mouth should be covered with a piece of clothing or handkerchief. Do not shout whenever possible. Shouting should be employed at last to get help from rescuers. This is because it is possible for you to breathe some dirty dust.
46. If there is no furniture in the room you should stay 　　　.
A. near the window B. far from the door
C. in the center of the room D. in the corner of the room
47. What are you advised to do if you are in bed?
A. We should get up quickly and ask for help.
B. We should stay in bed with a pillow protecting our head.
C. We should get up quickly and rush out of the bedroom.
D. We should get up quickly and find something to protect ourselves.
48. Why are you advised not to use a lift?
A. The lift usually doesn’t work. B. We will probably be trapped in it.
C. Too many people are using the lift.
D. The building probably will fall down.
49. We can learn from this passage that 　　　.
A. some people may be attacked by debris or falling objects
B. when trapped we should shout for help loudly
C. during an earthquake we should stop our car in the middle of the street
D. if an earthquake strikes we should cover our head with a piece of clothing
50. The author writes this passage mainly to tell us 　　　.

Electronic books have changed the way many people read for pleasure. Now online textbooks are changing the way some students learn and some teachers teach.
More than one hundred seventy-five thousand students attend the public schools in Fairfax County, Virginia, outside Washington. Last year, the school system used digital books in fifteen schools. This school year, middle schools and high schools changed from printed to electronic textbooks in their social studies classes.
Luke Rosa is a history teacher at Falls Church High School. His students work on laptop computers at school. He explains the idea to them this way, “I mean, it’s just like a regular textbook, except it’s got it all online.”
Peter Noonan, an assistant superintendent (助理监督) of schools, said, “The world’s changing. And the online textbooks can change right along with the events that are happening.” Digital books also cost less than printed textbooks, he said.
A student named Melanie Reuter said, “I don’t have to carry a textbook around, so that’s nice.”
But another student said, “I don’t like it because the Internet sometimes doesn’t work.”
Students also need access to the Internet when they are not at school. About ten percent of students in Fairfax County do not have a computer or online access at home. Public libraries in the county have free Internet. There are also after-school computer labs as well as computer clubhouses supported by the county. Middle school student Slieman Hakim is happy about that. He said, “My family only has one computer; my sister and I both do our homework on it. So I come here to do my homework. It’s good.”
Other school systems in the area are also considering online textbooks.
51. Which of the following is/are NOT used when students have social studies classes?
A. Computers. B. The Internet.
C. Paper textbooks. D. Electronic textbooks.
52. One of the disadvantages of digital textbooks is that 　　　.
A. they’re more expensive
B. they can’t be used if the computer is offline
C. they’re soon out of date
D. reading online does harm to students’ eyes
53. Why does Slieman Hakim feel happy?
A. He is offered a free computer to do his homework.
B. He doesn’t have to do his homework at home.
C. He has access to the Internet to study at any place.
D. He needn’t share a computer with his sister to do homework.
54. What can we learn from the passage?
A. All students like digital textbooks because they are new.
B. Digital textbooks are more beautiful than paper textbooks.
C. Students can do their homework in the computer clubhouses.
D. The lessons online are completely different from those in paper textbooks.
55. The passage aims to 　　　.
A. report the use of electronic textbooks in school
B. show how to use electronic textbooks
C. encourage more schools to use electronic textbooks
D. tell readers electronic textbooks will replace regular textbooks

One possible version:
An earthquake drill took place on Thursday
On Thursday, October 16, our school had an earthquake drill.
Before the drill, teachers gave students detailed instructions on how to escape in an earthquake. Then, as the first alarm sounded, all of us covered the head and hid under the desks immediately. And when the second alarm sounded, we ran out one after another and ran to the playground as soon as possible. It took us only 2 minutes and 45 seconds to gather at the playground.
The earthquake drill is important for us students, from which we have learned how to escape and protect ourselves when an earthquake happens.
