第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
One of the best-known American writers of children's books is Alfred Strong, or Doctor Strong, as he is better known to readers everywhere. Now, an art show called “Doctor Strong From Then to Now” is travelling around the United States. The pictures and drawings show the history of Doctor Strong.
Doctor Strong first became famous almost fifty years ago when his first children's book was published. Since then, he has written forty-five books that have sold more than one hundred million copies around the world.
Doctor Strong's books are known for their easy use of words and colorful, hand-drawn pictures. These drawings bring life to his imaginary creatures. The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, and hundreds of others.
The San Diego Museum, in California, organized the art show. It included about three hundred Doctor Strong's original (最早的) drawings and some of his writings.
Most of Doctor Strong's books, although written in a funny way, have serious messages. For example, in Mc Elligot's Pool, he describes the danger of pollution. He discusses the arms race in The Butter Battle Book, written in 1984.
Doctor Strong is almost eighty-four years old now. He says he never planned to write stories just for children. He says he writes stories that interest people of all ages. He says he uses easy words so that everyone, even a child, can understand.
21．Alfred Strong is a famous ________ in the United States.
A. doctor B.artist

The scientists produced all kinds of sounds which had been recorded in different natural environments. The young fish seemed to prefer the sounds of natural reefs, complete with noisy animals! The scientists compared the choice to a music fan wandering around at a music festival, choosing to set up a tent closest to the music they like best!
Butterflies are disappearing
A new study has shown that 17 species (物种) of butterfly found in Europe have dropped by 70% in the last 20 years.

答案与解析
41．B 由于只有三个人坐进车里，因此不会拥挤，排除C项；一家人自己坐进车里，不能用pull“拉”；而文中并没有提到他们上车时很匆忙，排除A项。
42．C 由下文小女孩的表现，以及“the first night in the car”可知，她以前从来没在夜里旅行过。用never。
43．A 根据上文提到的他们要连续开三天的车可知，晚上他们一家人也在车上，即in the car。
44．D 由于是夜晚行车，因此车外是一片漆黑。车内可以开着灯，因此不可能一片漆黑，因此排除A项，B、C两项都不全面，因此也排除。
45．A 由上文“in his brother's home”得出，全家要到小姑娘的叔叔家去。
46．B read the map“看地图”，看书、报、地图需用动词read。A、D两项不符合句意。see“看见”，表结果。父亲告诉小姑娘，他可以通过看地图来认路。
47．C 本句意为小姑娘想知道父亲是否知道使用地图的方法，所以用how。
48．A 父亲的回答是为了安抚女儿的不安，因此告诉女儿不用害怕，会安全到达，路程还很远，不能用quickly; C、D两项不符合父亲的用意。
49．C 这里表示小姑娘担心路上没有地方吃饭。由下文if we get hungry可得出答案为eat。
50．B stop by“停靠于”， pass by“路过”。此处是父亲回答女儿说可以在餐馆停下来吃饭。C、D两项意思与文意不符。
51．D 上文父亲说去餐馆吃饭，女儿自然要问路上有餐馆没有，因此选D项。
52．D 女儿问父亲知道餐馆在哪里吗，父亲回答“不知道，但肯定能找到”。find强调最终能找到，而search强调找寻的过程，因此排除C项；A、B两项与句意不符。
53．A dialogue“对话”；interview“面谈”；discussion“讨论”；argument“争论”。由上文可知，父女俩一问一答，只是一段对话，B、C、D三项均不符合父女俩对话的本质，因此排除。
54．A 由下文“and also the second night”可知这里应该是the first night。
55．C 本句是说到第三个晚上女儿安静了，即不再提问题了。联系上下文对比，前两天晚上女儿不断发问，而第三天晚上并不再发问，可知，应选quiet。
56．C 由下文父亲发现女儿醒着可推知，父亲本以为女儿已经睡着了。文章中并没有提到女儿累了或者迷路了，可排除A、D两项。
57．B engine“发动机”； mirror“镜子”； tyre“轮胎”； handle“方向盘”。由常识可知是从反光镜中看后排座的女儿，其他三项意义不合句意。
58．B 比较四个答案，只有driving符合逻辑，是女儿对父亲开车的放心。意思是有爸爸开车，她很放心，已经没有问题了。
59．D 尽管女儿还有很多疑虑，但她知道了一件很重要的事：是父亲在开车。necessary“必需的”； difficult“困难的”； comfortable“舒适的”三项均不符合句意。
60．A 此句是说小姑娘知道父亲能提供一切她需要的东西。provide“提供”；support“支持”；meet“达到(目标)”；promise“承诺”，只有provide与上下文搭配合适。

范文
The First Day of the Military Training
Yesterday was the first day of the military training. I was dreaming when the bell for getting up rang. The moment I heard the bell, I rose immediately, dressed quickly and then rushed to the playground. The drillmaster asked us to finish preparations within only five minutes.
The drillmaster was very strict with us. We had to practise an action again and again until he was satisfied. At break time, he joined us in singing, dancing and telling stories. We were getting along very well. The sun was so strong that my clothes were all wet. But we still went on training rilling. One of my classmates fell to the ground in a faint.
The life of the military training is very hard, but I think it is meaningful. Not only does it build up our bodies, it also strengthens our determination to overcome difficulties.
