第二部分 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
A
On my first job ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) as a sports editor, I didn’t get a lot of fan mails, so I was surprised to see a letter on my desk one morning. When I opened it, I read: “Sweet piece of writing on the Tigers. Keep up the good work.”
It was signed (署名) ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )by Don Wolfe, the sports editor. Because I was a green hand, his words could not have been more encouraging. I kept the letter in my desk drawer for a long time. Whenever I doubted I had the talent to be an editor, I would reread Don’s note and be confident again.
Later, when I got to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )know him, I learned that Don had a habit of writing encouraging notes to people in all walks of life. “When I make others feel good about themselves,” he told me, “I feel good, too.”
Why are encour ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aging note writers in such short supply My guess is that many who shy away from the practice are too self-conscious. They are afraid they will be misunderstood. Also, writing takes time and it is far easier to pick up the phone. The disadvantage with phone calls, of course, is that they do not last. It is a matter of record, and our words in a note can be read more than once and treasured.
So, who around you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )deserves a note of thanks or approval A neighbor, your librarian, a relative, your mate, a teacher, or a doctor Words such as “greatest”, “smartest”, “prettiest” make us all feel good. Even if your praise runs a little ahead of reality, remember that expectations are often the parents of dreams realized.
36. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To express thanks to the sports editor.
B. To tell us the power of encouraging notes.
C. To explain how to write encouraging notes.
D. To ask readers to give encouragement to others.
37. Why did the sports editor write the author a letter
A. To comfort him. B. To give him a new task.
C. To promote his business. D. To encourage him to work better.
38. The author doesn’t suggest making a phone call because _____.
A. it doesn’t last B. it is quite direct
C. it can be recorded D. it is easier to misunderstand
39. From the text, we can infer that _____.
A. being a sports editor is not very interesting
B. where there is a dream, there is a hope
C. Don Wolfe used to be a sportsman
D. people like to be praised
B
Most of the energy ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )we use now is made from “non-renewable” sources. The good news is we have plenty of alternatives– the wind, sun and water can provide “renewable (可再生的) energy” which will never run out and does not give off carbon dioxide and therefore is good for the environment.
So, what would a wor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ld powered by nature look like Let’s think about how your day might change.
As you are woken up, t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he solar panels (太阳能电池板) on your roof would heat the water you bathe with. In the kitchen your mum would make breakfast with a kettle that could tell you just how much energy you are using, and where it’s coming from – maybe from solar panels too. As you and your family leave the house, a “Smart” energy meter (仪表) would be able to tell you the amount of energy your family has used so far.
You would get in y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )our family’s electric car, which would not give off any bad smoke. On your way to school, you would notice all the houses you pass have solar panels on their roofs and maybe a small wind turbine (风力涡轮机) if they were built on a hill, and some have water tanks collecting rain water to be reused. There would be no petrol stations, but you might see many other stations instead, where you could recharge (再充电) your car.
Your school would a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lso look different. Like your house, the roof would probably be covered with solar panels. Inside, the school would be heated by a biomass boiler (生物质锅炉), which burns recycled wood chips. A renewable cooling system in the school means that in the summer it will never get too warm!
To make this renewab ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )le future possible, we need to think carefully about where our energy comes from and how we use it.
40. What wouldn’t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) you see on the way to school according to the text
A. Petrol stations. B. Solar panels on the roofs.
C. Small wind tur ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )bines. D. Water tanks collecting rain water.
41. Which of the fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )llowing best describes the world mentioned in the text
A. Healthy and safe.
B. Convenient but unpractical.
C. Energy-saving but too complex.
D. Intelligent and free from pollution.
42. Which might be the best title for the text
A. Life in the future B. A world powered by nature
C. The ways to preserve energ y D. Renewable energy in the future
C
If you have ev ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er wondered what Noah’ s Ark (诺亚方舟), the enormous boat that saved Noah, his family and two examples of every animal species on the earth, may have looked like, you are in luck. That’s because a Dutchman (荷兰人) has created a life-size replica (复制品).
Johan Huibers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) says he was inspired to build a boat after he dreamt that his country was completely flooded! The carpenter began by creating a smaller version of what he likes to call Johan’s Ark in 2004. Not surprisingly, it was an instant hit with tourists. Encouraged by the success, he used the funds generated from ticket sales, and in 2009 recruited (雇用) his two children and some friends, to build a version of the same size as the one described in the Bible.
What’s even more amaz ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing is the detail that lies inside. Just like the real deal, Johan has built storage spaces at the bottom of the ship where food can be kept for long periods of time. A curved (弯曲的) upper deck (甲板) is not only designed to accumulate rainwater, but also, serve as an “exercise” track for animals like horses and big cats!
As for the animals Wh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ile the area inside is big enough to allow two real elephants to dance, Johan has restrained (抑制) that impulse! Instead, he has populated it with plastic substitutes of the animal and also giraffes, zebras and even buffalos (野牛)—all life-size of course! But smaller species like chickens, sheep and rabbits got luckier. They are all alive and seem to be enjoying their life inside the Ark’s “petting” zoo.
43. What pushed Johan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to start making a life-size replica of Noah’s Ark
A. An interest in the Bible. B. Fear of the end of the world.
C. The success of Johan’s first boat.
D. A terrible experience in the Netherlands.
44. A curved upper deck is specially designed to _____.
A. store plenty of food B. hold more large animals
C. meet the n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eed of animals D. prevent rainwater from getting in
45. The underlin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed part “that impulse” in the last paragraph refers to “_____”.
A. taking small an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )imals onboard B. bringing in large live animals
C. using plastic substitutes of animals
D. collecting all the animals in the world
46. In which sectio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n of a newspaper can you most probably read the text
A. Funny tales. B. The world of animals.
C. Science and technology. D. Fantastic and amazing news.

If you see a g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )roup of kids hitting and abusing an animal, would you stop them Would you at least call the police Again people would walk away. Some people do not believe that animal abuse is a big issue.
Every day animals ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )are abused in their homes or on the streets. It seems as if politicians do nothing to stop this issue. Everyone is worried about education and global warming. What about animals We should not ignore them just because they cannot talk to us. Animals, like us humans, have rights. Every living being has the right to warm shelter and good food, but most importantly, they have the right to be wanted and loved. They have the right to be a special, much loved member of their own family.
There are many orga ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nizations that deal with abused animals or animals that have no home like ASPCA, PETA, the Humane Society and many more. There are organizations that deal with this issue, but that does not mean that we still shouldn’t help. The biggest saying that bothers me is, “I am only one person. I can’t make a difference.” If everyone thought like that, we wouldn’t have the organizations and loving people who help the world every day. By helping one animal, you are making a difference.
There are ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ny things you can do right now to help animals around your neighborhood. You can volunteer at your local animal shelter, raise money for animal shelters, inform your community about animal abuse or you can write to your representatives and tell them that animal abuse needs to be taken seriously.
As you walk down ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the street, try to help any animals you see walking around. You can easily buy a cheap box of dry cat or dog food to feed the animals. If we do not help our animals now, we may never have animals again. Always remember that with every step you take, you help save an animal’s life and isn’t that worth fighting for
51. Some people won’t stop kids from abusing animals because ______.
A. they are too busy to worry about the animals
B. they don’t take animal abuse seriously
C. they just leave it to the police
D. they are afraid of being laughed at
52. We can learn from the text that ASPCA ______.
A. is another name for the Humane Society
B. provides shelter for both animals and humans
C. deals with such issues as education and global warming
D. aims at protecting animals from being abused
53. Which of the following statements will the author agree with
A. Dogs have the right to be treated kindly.
B. One person cannot possibly make a difference.
C. Cruelty to animals deserves more attention than global warming.
D. It is the politicians’ duty to stop animal abuse.
54. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us
A. How to provide shelter for animals.
B. How to help animals in our daily life.
C. Why we should fight against animal abuse.
D. How to raise people’s awareness of animal protection.
55. The main purpose of the text is to ______.
A. criticize those who abuse animals

第一节 任务型读写(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。
注意:每个空格只填一个单词。
As we all kn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ow, exercising regularly is good for us. A lot of people would surely agree that after an exercise routine in the morning, you’ll feel that you are most energetic (精力充沛的), and feel better every day. Also when you do exercise, for example, jog in the morning,you’ll surely observe that there are also a lot of people who do the same. Finally, if you make it a daily habit, you’ll meet new friends. Being with other people can help you forget all the anxiety you feel in your life.
Therefore, all of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) us are supposed to make exercise as automatic (自觉的) as brushing our teeth. To make a new exercise habit, firstly, you can make it so easy to do that you can’t find an excuse not to do it. For example, instead of working out for an hour, just exercise for 15 minutes.
Also you can cre ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ate a trigger (提醒物) to remind you to exercise. For example, putting your running shoes right in front of your door might remind you to run for 10 minutes in the morning, or an afternoon text message from a friend might remind you to do 10 pushups.
Shaping your envi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ronment is also very helpful in building the exercise habit. You can shape your environment in ways that encourage you to exercise. For example, you could surround yourself with people who exercise every day. You could also add a reward and connect it to your new habit, like treating yourself to a concert at the end of the week.
In a word, ch ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )anging exercise into a habit requires thoughtful design and patience, but on the other hand, it can keep you on a path to health and happiness.
Topic We should change exercise into a habit.
(56) ●Making you full of (57) ●Helping you (58) new friends●Preventing you feeling (59)
(60) Making the habit(61) to do Exercising for a (62) instead of for an hour
Creating a trigger ●Putting your running shoes right in front of your door●Asking a friend to (63) you an afternoon text message
Shaping yourenvironment ●Surround yourself with people who (64) exercising●(65) yourself for your insisting on exercising
Summary Changing exerci ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )se into a habit requires thoughtful design and patience.

It all started ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )when I was 11 years old. I had just moved schools. Everything was all right at the beginning. I even made a few friends.
A few months la ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ter, however, the school decided to make a completely new class in order to make the classes smaller, because it helped with learning and avoiding bullying (恃强凌弱). Then I was chosen to be moved from my old class to the new one. At first, it was fine. Everyone ignored (忽视) me, but I was happy to be left alone. Then it started.

A few more situation ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s like that followed. For a few weeks I was beaten up almost every day after school. When I told the teacher, she said I couldn’t move classes and that was final. I started cutting myself and cried myself to sleep every night. But after a few more months of putting up with (忍受) that, I decided to tell my family. They didn’t do anything at first, but after a while they got tired of my complaining about how I hated school and talked to the head teacher. A week or so after that, I was moved to another class and avoided my bullies during break. They soon forgot about me. I’m perfectly fine now. I hardly ever cry.

New York City stree ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ts are full of yellow cabs. Some, however, are better than others. Now, there is a Candy Cab waiting for you. It is a free candy store on wheels.
Mansoor Khalid, a t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )axi driver, started handing out candy in 2012 following the death of his one-year-old son. While his son was in hospital, Mansoor often took coffee and sweets for the nurses and saw how happy they were.
Wanting to feel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )some joy again he began putting a box of candy on the passenger seats, just to see their happy face. There was more and more candy, because Mansoor Khalid realized that the sweet treats made everyone smile and “Candy Cab” was born! The kind man who spends over $300 each month on the sweets says that seeing his passengers happy makes his job more fun.
The sweet ser ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )vice begins as soon as the passenger gets into the cab which has a sign that reads, “No eating or drinking inside this car except candies.” The kind driver even offers a free ride to the passengers that can finish all the candy he puts in front of them. However, so far, no one has been able to complete the challenge.
Not surprisingly, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Mansoor Khalid gets plenty of smiles and hugs and also thousands of warm messages. But the best part about the Candy Cab is that you don’t need to depend on luck. Interested passengers can simply request it by sending Khalid a message and they will be picked up at no extra cost. So, the next time you are in New York City, see if you can find this real-life Candyland on wheels!

Imagine walkin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g to your local park on a warm summer afternoon and sitting down under a tree with a good book and a freshly picked apple. That is exactly what the clever minds behind Seattle’s Beacon Food Forest Project are hoping to do for all its residents (居民) in the near future.
The project is just ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) 2.5 miles from the center of Seattle, close to the city’s popular Jefferson Park. It was started in February, 2012 and is being developed on seven acres (英亩) of land. Using $100,000 from the US government, hundreds of volunteers are working hard, developing the first two acres of the food forest. So far, the park that will be open to the public later this summer is home to 35 trees. They are expected to start producing fruits next year. The volunteers have also completed a large amount of decoration work to make the park more attractive.
Besides delicious fru ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )its like strawberries and apples, residents will also be able to pick vegetables and even tree nuts. When the park is completely developed, it will be home to as many as 200 types of useful plants. And it will also include 50 individual gardens and a special area for free and paid workshops on a lot of different topics. There will also be special areas for picnics and for kids to play in, after they have had a freshly picked piece of fruit of course!
When it is c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ompleted, according to Glen Herlihy, a local resident, the park will be nice, although a little denser (更茂密的) than a normal park. Besides bringing the residents together, Glen also hopes that this activity will help bring people closer to the origin (起源) of food and encourage them to become more active in improving the environment.

Teddy bears survived ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the Titanic! There were two teddy bears that survived the Titanic in fact. One belonged to a man and the other was a child’s. This just goes to show you that teddy bears were always around and that everyone loved such a bear. Believe it or not, Gaspare Luigi Gatti, who was a grown man and not a young boy, carried the teddy bear wherever he went. You didn’t see him on the ship without it. He drowned, along with 1,500 other passengers.
The little teddy ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) bear survived the accident, and was seen floating in the water. It was picked up by someone. Later it would be given back to Gaspare’s widow Merry and she would in turn hand it over to a museum. In 1992, Merry thought of recreating (重做) this bear in honor of the 1912 sinking of the Titanic, and it was to remember the dead passengers, including her husband. Only 5,000 of these bears were made, each one had yellow hair and stood to be 8 inches tall.
But Gaspare w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )asn’t the only one with a teddy bear on the Titanic that day. A little boy named Douglas was on the ship with his teddy bear “Polar” and his mother. They all survived the sinking of the ship; however Douglas might have soon died by a car accident. After the death of her son, Daisy wrote a picture book titled “Polar the Titanic Bear”. Daisy never let this book come out. In fact it was many years later that her great grandnephew (重侄孙) found it hidden away inside her room. The Steiff Company made a reproduction (复制) of “Polar” of only 1,000 bears.

B. The single woman whose husband has died.
C. The passenger who has survived an accident.
D. The person who is a good friend of someone.
53. 5,000 of these bears were made in order to .
A. meet the needs of more children
B. cause more people to notice the bear
C. make some money by selling them
D. remember the Titanic sinking and the dead
54. What can we learn from this passage

B. Douglas drowned, along with the 1,500 passengers.
C. Gaspare with the teddy bear was on the Titanic.

第一节 任务型读写(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。
注意:每个空格只填一个单词。
More and more people ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )get much fatter because they’re eating more food. One of the reasons why some people are eating more food is because of stress. It is believed that people in high-stress jobs are fatter than those in less stressful jobs. This means people in stressful jobs usually eat more as a result of stress from their jobs.
Another reason ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) why people often eat a lot is because of the advertisements on TV, the radio and the Internet. The advertisements keep on telling people to eat more. The most unlucky thing with the foods advertised is that they’re usually full of calories and fat, which means that the more people eat the food, the fatter they will get.
Unhealthy lifes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tyle is also a reason why people eat too much. Many people are living lives where they wake up, go to work, sit for hours and then return home and sit until they go to bed. This kind of lifestyle means that people have no time to do exercise and as a result all the food they eat is stored as fat.
Then, how can we n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ot eat too much One way is eating when it’s just necessary. So set a plan when you’ll eat. If you have no idea how you can set a plan, visit your nutritionist (营养师) who will advise you on how to go about it.
Another way of ge ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tting out of the problem is regarding food as energy and nothing else. You need to eat food that will give you the energy you require. This means that if you need much energy, you should eat plenty of food; however, if you need just a small amount (数量) of energy, you should eat just little food.
Topic An (56)______ number of people often eat too much and become fat
(57)_____ Emotions People eat too much when they feel (58)______ at work.
(59)______ People are told to eat much food (60)_______ in calories and fat.
Unhealthy lifestyle People are too busy to (61)_______ in life.
Tips ● Make it a rule ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to eat when it’s (62)_______.● Ask for your nutrit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ionist’s advice if you (63)_______ nothing about how to go on a diet.● View food as only (64)_______ and nothing else.● How much you eat should depend on the amount of energy you (65)_______.
