第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15小题，每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
A
Senior high school is not only just attending classes and attempting to get high grades. Students can make the most of the opportunities high school offers you to explore your interests and sometimes interact with fellow students in clubs. Here are some introductions of popular clubs.
Speech Club
Do you enjoy talking Do you think you can be a future lawyer Try out for the school’s speech team. Not only will you meet people and make friends, you’ll also get to practice public speaking, a valuable, important tool that you will use at every stage of your life. By researching, talking about debating hot- button political, social, cultural and environment topics, you will also become more aware and up-to-date on current events.
Band Club
Are you in a band in junior high If so, you probably remember always hanging around with your musical friends. If you haven’t joined any high school club yet, you should! Most high school bands give performances, and even go on trips to Disney land. Not sure Did I mention that studies show that students with music education tend to receive higher grades You read it right.
Red Cross Club
If you are interested in the medical field or planning to take a combined M.D. program, perhaps you should consider joining your school’s Chinese Red Cross Club. As part of the high school club working with the local Red Cross chapter, you can become a lifeguard, learn how to perform first aid, or become a trained instructor who teaches others.
Language Clubs
Can you speak Spanish, French, or German Or maybe you just really like the foreign language class! Either way, you should consider joining your school’s language clubs and lean a new language during your past time. Spanish, French and German clubs put on several charity and cultural events throughout the academic year. You could be helping others in need, and making new friends all at the same time!
21. Which club suits you best if you want to become a lawyer

Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit (精神) and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (弹跳) back.
But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How
Don’t look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.
Don’t let other people set goal for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.
Don’t give up when you still have something to give. ______________24______________
Don’t be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly (紧紧地); the best way to keep love is to give it wings（翅膀).
Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.
Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily.
Don’t use time or words carelessly. You can’t get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift; that’s why we call it “the present”. Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.

A. Nothing is possible

C
As a youngster, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather’s farm in western Pennsylvania. Surrounded by miles of winding stone walls, the house and field provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me. I was used to tidy living rooms that seemed to whisper, “Not to be touched!”
I can still remember one afternoon when I was eight years old. Since my first visit to the farm, I had wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls surrounding the houses. My parents would never approve. The walls were old; some stones were missing, others loose and falling. Still, my idea to climb across those walls grew so strong that finally, one spring afternoon, I had all my courage to enter the living room, where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner.
“I, uh—I want to climb the stone walls,” I said. Everyone looked up. “Can I climb the stone walls ” Immediately voices of disagreement went up from the women in the room. “Heavens, no! You’ll hurt yourself!” I wasn’t too disappointed; the response was just as I’d expected. But before I could leave the room, I was stopped by my grandfather’s loud voice. “Now hold on just a minute,” I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself.”
“Go,” he said to me, “and come and see me when you get back.” For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls—and had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventures. I’ll never forget what he said. “Fred,” he said, smiling, “You made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there’s only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.”
Many years have passed since then, and today I host the television program Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, seen by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of almost every visit. “There’s only one person in this whole world like you.” the kids can count on hearing me say, “and people can like you exactly as you are.”
28. When the writer was small, he lived ________.
A. in the city B. on the farm
C. with his grandparents D. away from his parents
29. The writer enjoyed his visits to the farm because ________.
A. there were old stone walls B. it was an exciting place for him
C. he liked his grandfather D. the living room there was clean
30. We can learn from the passage that the writer was ________.
A. adventurous B. funny C. smart D. talkative
31. What did the writer learn from his grandfather and his own experience on the farm
A. To do things for others. B. To do whatever he liked.
C. To be proud of himself. D. To be himself.
D
When I was a child, I often saw my Grandma throwing bread that was no longer fresh to birds. Not surprisingly, this attracted few birds. Later on, we discovered bird food at the local store. Feeding garden birds in the UK has come a long way since then. Today, the birds can enjoy many kinds of food: from plant seeds to sunflower hearts and from cakes to meat balls. All this comes at a huge cost of about 200m a year. Sometimes, I wonder if we might be feeding our garden birds better than our kids. But maybe it’s worth it. Our generosity is having an important effect on the behavior and even evolution of these birds.
Take the goldfinch for example. In the 1960s, this was a rare bird. Today, goldfinches can be seen in many gardens. Other new visitors include the spotted woodpecker, which has left its usual woodland for food on bird tables. Evolution is meant to progress slowly: over thousands of years. Yet during the past few decades, the beaks of many kinds of birds have become longer because birds with longer beaks can get more food, and then are more likely to live on.
Is bird feeding completely good for birds Not everyone thinks so. Studies by the Zoological Society of London have shown that by bringing together many birds, bird feeders may help the spread of disease. In Australia, some bird experts believe—probably wrongly—that bird feeding creates a “dependence culture”.
But we shouldn’t forget one major benefit of feeding garden birds—it connects millions of people to the natural world. This is especially important for people who seldom reach the wider countryside. As I write this, there comes some noise outside my window: several birds were singing and flying around in my garden. It’s a sight I could only imagine years ago, when feeding garden birds just meant throwing hard bread to them.
32. What does the author mean by saying the underlined part in Paragraph 1
A. Feeding garden birds is a huge waste of money.
B. We spend quite a lot of money on the food of garden birds.
C. We should care more for our kids rather than garden birds.
D. Feeding garden birds can bring more joy than feeding kids.
33. Which is the reason behind the fact that many birds’ beaks become longer
A. These birds have given up traditional woodland.
B. Food for these birds becomes richer and better.
C. Longer beaks mean more chances of survival.
D. These birds grow faster than ever before.
34. What do some bird experts in Australia think of bird feeding
A. It is completely good for birds.
B. It may help the spread of disease.
C. It connects more and more people to the natural world.
D. It may reduce birds’ ability to find food by themselves.
35. How does the author feel when he hears bird noise outside his window
A. Annoyed. B. Pleased. C. Surprised. D. Bored.

Having a roommate can be one of the best experiences in college or, easily, one of the worst. It all depends on whether you have a good relationship with your roommate or not. Follow the advice to avoid the common mistakes that turn good roommate relationships bad.
◇ ___36___
Communication is key. If something happens, sit down with your roommate and have a face-to-face conversation. I’ve seen roommate relationships fall apart because something happens and instead of talking to each other, the two start complaining about their roommates behind their backs. ___37___
◇ Don’t expect to be best friends.
Some roommates become the best friends, and some don’t. Don’t put pressure on yourself or your roommate, especially when you first meet. ___38___ And if your roommate doesn’t end up being your best friend, don’t worry.
◇ Ask before you take.
This applies (适用) to food, clothes and anything else. If you want to keep a relationship going, show your roommate that you have respect for what is his or hers by asking first. ___39___
◇ Clean up after yourself.
This should be done without saying. Don’t be lazy. Or, at least, don’t bury your roommate in your clothes and garbage. Most people I’ve come across in college are dirty and untidy. ___40___ But putting your stuff in order will help you avoid conflict.
A. Talk things out.
B. Always be honest.
C. Even if you both agree to share everything, you should still ask.
D. So you need to think twice before you help your roommates out.
E. This creates nothing but embarrassing situations and unhappiness.

Jim slumped on the couch. Mother’s Day was coming up, and he didn’t have a present. “How can I buy a present without money ” he thought.
Jim picked up the newspaper that was lying on the couch. He noticed a large advertisement on the front page. The local department store was sponsoring a contest. “Tell us why your mom is special and win a shopping spree(疯狂购物) for her,” said the ad.
“This is perfect!” thought Jim. He ran to his room with the newspaper, taking a pencil and a blank piece of paper from his desk, he started to write.
“My mom is the best mother in the world. She always makes a lunch for me to take to school, and she never forgets my dessert. She reads as many books to me before bed as I want. She always remembers to check under the bed for monsters. And she gives the best hug, but never in front of my friends, who would laugh at me for hugging my mom.”
Jim liked what he had written. He copied it neatly and got an envelope and a stamp from his dad. He ran to the mailbox with his entry(参赛作品), “Mom will love having a shopping spree,” he thought.
Jim checked the mailbox every day for his prize. Days passed by and then weeks. Soon it was the day before Mother’s Day. Jim still hadn’t heard anything about the contest.
“What am I going to do now ” he wondered. He didn’t have a present, and he didn’t have a shopping spree, and he still didn’t have any money. He had to think of something. Jim closed his eyes and curled his toes and thought so hard that his ears hurt.

【原文】It’s always a good idea to make time to catch up with family and friends and share family vacations, birthdays, and graduations together. If you are meeting another family with small children, Legoland California is a good choice. Last summer, I celebrated my daughter’s birthday there. You can begin your vacation to Legoland by flying into San Diego International Airport. The park is about a 50-minute drive from the airport. We chose the Legoland Castle Hotel because it is one of the newest hotels connected to the park. You can get into the park at least 30 minutes before it opens to the public. The hotel includes a full hot breakfast with your stay. Visitors can also choose a themed room that best fits the family: Knights & Dragons, Royal Princess or Magic Wizard. We tried the last one. We had lots of happy memories of our stay in there. So I hope you are inspired to start planning a joint vacation with your family or friends to deepen your connections!

As a youngster, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather’s farm in western Pennsylvania. Surrounded by miles of winding stone walls, the house and field provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me. I was used to tidy living rooms that seemed to whisper, “Not to be touched!”
I can still remember one afternoon when I was eight years old. Since my first visit to the farm, I had wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls surrounding the houses. My parents would never approve. The walls were old; some stones were missing, others loose and falling. Still, my idea to climb across those walls grew so strong that finally, one spring afternoon, I had all my courage to enter the living room, where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner.
“I, uh—I want to climb the stone walls,” I said. Everyone looked up. “Can I climb the stone walls ” Immediately voices of disagreement went up from the women in the room. “Heavens, no! You’ll hurt yourself!” I wasn’t too disappointed; the response was just as I’d expected. But before I could leave the room, I was stopped by my grandfather’s loud voice. “Now hold on just a minute,” I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself.”
“Go,” he said to me, “and come and see me when you get back.” For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls—and had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventures. I’ll never forget what he said. “Fred,” he said, smiling, “You made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there’s only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.”
Many years have passed since then, and today I host the television program Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, seen by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of almost every visit. “There’s only one person in this whole world like you.” the kids can count on hearing me say, “and people can like you exactly as you are.”
28. When the writer was small, he lived ________.
A. in the city B. on the farm
C. with his grandparents D. away from his parents

A. there were old stone walls B. it was an exciting place for him

When I was a child, I often saw my Grandma throwing bread that was no longer fresh to birds. Not surprisingly, this attracted few birds. Later on, we discovered bird food at the local store. Feeding garden birds in the UK has come a long way since then. Today, the birds can enjoy many kinds of food: from plant seeds to sunflower hearts and from cakes to meat balls. All this comes at a huge cost of about 200m a year. Sometimes, I wonder if we might be feeding our garden birds better than our kids. But maybe it’s worth it. Our generosity is having an important effect on the behavior and even evolution of these birds.
Take the goldfinch for example. In the 1960s, this was a rare bird. Today, goldfinches can be seen in many gardens. Other new visitors include the spotted woodpecker, which has left its usual woodland for food on bird tables. Evolution is meant to progress slowly: over thousands of years. Yet during the past few decades, the beaks of many kinds of birds have become longer because birds with longer beaks can get more food, and then are more likely to live on.
Is bird feeding completely good for birds Not everyone thinks so. Studies by the Zoological Society of London have shown that by bringing together many birds, bird feeders may help the spread of disease. In Australia, some bird experts believe—probably wrongly—that bird feeding creates a “dependence culture”.
But we shouldn’t forget one major benefit of feeding garden birds—it connects millions of people to the natural world. This is especially important for people who seldom reach the wider countryside. As I write this, there comes some noise outside my window: several birds were singing and flying around in my garden. It’s a sight I could only imagine years ago, when feeding garden birds just meant throwing hard bread to them.
32. What does the author mean by saying the underlined part in Paragraph 1
A. Feeding garden birds is a huge waste of money.
B. We spend quite a lot of money on the food of garden birds.
C. We should care more for our kids rather than garden birds.
D. Feeding garden birds can bring more joy than feeding kids.
33. Which is the reason behind the fact that many birds’ beaks become longer
A. These birds have given up traditional woodland.
B. Food for these birds becomes richer and better.
C. Longer beaks mean more chances of survival.
D. These birds grow faster than ever before.
34. What do some bird experts in Australia think of bird feeding
A. It is completely good for birds.
B. It may help the spread of disease.
C. It connects more and more people to the natural world.
D. It may reduce birds’ ability to find food by themselves.
35. How does the author feel when he hears bird noise outside his window
A. Annoyed. B. Pleased. C. Surprised. D. Bored.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人类的喂食行为对鸟类进化的影响，英国人喂养花园鸟类的习惯的历史以及人们对喂鸟行为的看法等。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第一段五、六句“Today, the birds can enjoy many kinds of food: from plant seeds to sunflower hearts and from cakes to meat balls. All this comes at a huge cost of about 200m a year.(如今，这些鸟可以享用很多食物：从植物种子到葵花籽，从蛋糕到肉丸。所有这些都要花费每年大约2亿英镑的巨大成本)”可知，作者认为人们在花园的鸟食上花费了太多的钱，即划线部分意思为“我们花了很多钱在花园的鸟食上”。故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Yet during the past few decades, the beaks of many kinds of birds have become longer because birds with longer beaks can get more food, and then are more likely to live on.(然而在过去的几十年里，许多种类的鸟的喙变长了，因为长喙的鸟可以得到更多的食物，从而更有可能生存下去)”可知，许多鸟的喙变长了，这背后的原因是长喙意味着更多的生存机会。故选C项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“In Australia, some bird experts believe—probably wrongly—that bird feeding creates a ‘dependence culture’.(在澳大利亚，一些鸟类专家认为喂鸟可能是错误的——鸟类喂养创造了一种‘依赖文化’)”可知，澳大利亚的一些鸟类专家认为喂鸟是错误的，因为喂鸟可能会降低鸟类自己寻找食物的能力，造成对人类的依赖。故选D项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But we shouldn’t forget one major benefit of feeding garden birds—it connects millions of people to the natural world. This is especially important for people who seldom reach the wider countryside. As I write this, there comes some noise outside my window: several birds were singing and flying around in my garden. It’s a sight I could only imagine years ago, when feeding garden birds just meant throwing hard bread to them.(但是我们不应该忘记给花园里的鸟喂食的一个主要好处——它把数百万人与自然世界联系在一起。这对很少到更广阔的农村地区的人来说尤其重要。当我写这篇文章的时候，窗外传来了一些声音：几只鸟儿在我的花园里唱歌、飞翔。这是我多年前只能想象的景象，当时给花园里的鸟儿喂食只是向它们扔硬面包)”可知，作者认为给鸟喂食将人与自然联系起来，这对农村地区的人非常重要。由此推知，当作者听到窗外鸟鸣时，他感觉很高兴。故选B项。
第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两处为多余选项。
Having a roommate can be one of the best experiences in college or, easily, one of the worst. It all depends on whether you have a good relationship with your roommate or not. Follow the advice to avoid the common mistakes that turn good roommate relationships bad.
◇ ___36___
Communication is key. If something happens, sit down with your roommate and have a face-to-face conversation. I’ve seen roommate relationships fall apart because something happens and instead of talking to each other, the two start complaining about their roommates behind their backs. ___37___
◇ Don’t expect to be best friends.
Some roommates become the best friends, and some don’t. Don’t put pressure on yourself or your roommate, especially when you first meet. ___38___ And if your roommate doesn’t end up being your best friend, don’t worry.
◇ Ask before you take.
This applies (适用) to food, clothes and anything else. If you want to keep a relationship going, show your roommate that you have respect for what is his or hers by asking first. ___39___
◇ Clean up after yourself.
This should be done without saying. Don’t be lazy. Or, at least, don’t bury your roommate in your clothes and garbage. Most people I’ve come across in college are dirty and untidy. ___40___ But putting your stuff in order will help you avoid conflict.
A. Talk things out.
B. Always be honest.

【答案】36. A 37. E 38. F 39. C 40. G
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。有一个好室友是最好不过的了，但是如果和室友的关系处不好，那就再糟糕不过了。怎么才能和室友处好关系呢？这篇文章来给你支着儿。
【36题详解】
由“Communication is key. If something happens, sit down with your roommate and have a face-to-face conversation. I’ve seen roommate relationships fall apart because something happens and instead of talking to each other, the two start complaining about their roommates behind their backs. ”可知，沟通是关键。如果发生了什么事，和你的室友坐下来进行面对面的交谈。我曾见过室友关系破裂，因为发生了一些事情，他们不再互相交谈，而是开始在背后抱怨室友。所以本段主要在讨论如果不愉快的事情发生了，要坐下来和室友面对面交谈，要把事情说出来也就是小题1本段的小标题所要表达的内容。故A选项“把事情说出来”符合句意。故A选项切题。
【37题详解】
由“ I’ve seen roommate relationships fall apart because something happens and instead of talking to each other, the two start complaining about their roommates behind their backs.”可知，我曾见过室友关系破裂，因为发生了一些事情，他们不再互相交谈，而是开始在背后抱怨室友。所以小题2要说明如果互相在背后抱怨对方的话，会产生什么样的后果。故E选项“那么这只会让情况变得难堪，而且两个人也不开心”符合句意。故E选项切题。
【38题详解】
由“Don’t put pressure on yourself or your roommate, especially when you first meet”可知，尤其在第一次见面时，不要给双方压力。所以小题3要承接上一句来说明交新朋友的注意事项。故F选项“你在尝试交新朋友，而不是要把室友吓跑”符合句意。故F选项切题。
【39题详解】
由“ If you want to keep a relationship going, show your roommate that you have respect for what is his or hers by asking first”可知，如果你想让一段关系继续下去，通过先问问的方式，让他/她知道你尊重他/她的想法。所以小题4要继续对询问加以强调。故C选项“即便你们都同意分享一切，你仍然应该询问一下”符合句意。故C选项切题。
【40题详解】
由“But putting your stuff in order will help you avoid conflict.”可知，但是整理好你的东西会帮助你避免冲突。所以通过“But”可知，小题5要与下一句构成转折关系。故G选项“你不需要把所有的时间都花在打扫房间和保持井井有条上”符合句意。故G选项切题。
【点睛】找出句子之间的连接性的词语是解决7选5题型的重要解题方法， 文章的语句间的组合，除了从语句间的意义关系分析外，还可借助句子之间的连接性词语来把握，因为连接性词语能表明这个语段句与句之间、层与层之间的基本关系有承接关系（如 so, therefore, thus, hence, accordingly, consequently, as a result 等）平列关系（如first, second, third…; firstly, secondly, thirdly…; first, next, then…; in the first place, in the second place…; for one thing, for another thing…;to begin with, to conclude 等）。转折关系（如 however, nevertheless, nonetheless, still, though, yet, in spite of, at any rate, in any case, whoever, whatever on the contrary, in contrast, by contrast, in comparison, by comparison, conversely, otherwise 等）。层递关系（如 also, further, furthermore, likewise, similarly, moreover, in addition, what’s more, too, either, neither, not…but…, not only…but also 等）。
由“But putting your stuff in order will help you avoid conflict.”可知，但是整理好你的东西会帮助你避免冲突。所以通过“But”可知，小题5要与下一句构成转折关系故G选项“你不需要把所有的时间都花在打扫房间和保持井井有条上”符合句意。故G选项为小题5的正确选项。

Jim slumped on the couch. Mother’s Day was coming up, and he didn’t have a present. “How can I buy a present without money ” he thought.
Jim picked up the newspaper that was lying on the couch. He noticed a large advertisement on the front page. The local department store was sponsoring a contest. “Tell us why your mom is special and win a shopping spree(疯狂购物) for her,” said the ad.
“This is perfect!” thought Jim. He ran to his room with the newspaper, taking a pencil and a blank piece of paper from his desk, he started to write.
“My mom is the best mother in the world. She always makes a lunch for me to take to school, and she never forgets my dessert. She reads as many books to me before bed as I want. She always remembers to check under the bed for monsters. And she gives the best hug, but never in front of my friends, who would laugh at me for hugging my mom.”
Jim liked what he had written. He copied it neatly and got an envelope and a stamp from his dad. He ran to the mailbox with his entry(参赛作品) “Mom will love having a shopping spree,” he thought.
Jim checked the mailbox every day for his prize. Days passed by and then weeks. Soon it was the day before Mother’s Day. Jim still hadn’t heard anything about the contest.
“What am I going to do now ” he wondered. He didn’t have a present, and he didn’t have a shopping spree, and he still didn’t have any money. He had to think of something. Jim closed his eyes and curled his toes and thought so hard that his ears hurt.
