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)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Are you looking for some movies You’ve landed on the right place. Let’s take a look at the list I’ve collected.
A Beautiful Mind
A Beautiful Mind is the story of John Nash, a mathematician who went on to win the Nobel Prize for his Game Theory. This movie brings his whole journey on screen—from his beginning to his downhill ride.
The first half is all about his rise to fame while the second half shows how he slowly falls into madness. After many years of fighting, he finally is victorious.
I.Q.
The story is about an auto mechanic who falls for Albert Einstein’s niece. The only problem is that she is engaged (已订婚) to someone else. Fortunately, Einstein likes him. The young man pretends to be a physicist to run after her, but things don’t go as he has planned.
If A Beautiful Mind was a little too heavy for you, I.Q. would be the perfect fit. It’s a light drama that is funny and heartwarming for the most part.
Good Will Hunting
Good Will Hunting is a touching tale of a troubled young man called Will Hunting who is gifted with a natural talent in mathematics.
However, he is struggling to find his identity. He can solve any math problem, but not the one he seems to be struggling within his life. His life seems to be getting only worse until one day he meets Sean, a therapist, who helps him find direction in life.
Creation
Creation is a story of a famous scientist, Charles Darwin, best known for his Theory of Evolution. This movie attempts to bring his struggling days into focus, the time when he was dealing with the loss of his daughter and was suffering from hallucinations (幻觉). At the same time, he was working on a book called On the Origins of Species, which he finally completed.
All in all, Creation is a great historical drama.
21. If you are interested in a relaxing movie, which one can you see
A. I.Q B. Creation C. A Beautiful Mind D. Good Will Hunting
22. Who are experts in mathematics
A. Will Hunting and Sean. B. John Nash and Will Hunting.
C. Charles Darwin and Sean. D. John Nash and Charles Darwin.
23. What’s the main purpose of the text
A. To introduce movies. B. To promote science.

B
Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf causes serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces.
There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.
24. What do we know about golf from Paragraph 2
A. It eats up city areas of Portugal and Spain.
B. It causes water shortages around the world.
C. It needs water and energy to keep its courses.
D. It pollutes the Earth with chemicals and wastes.
25. Why does the author use power walking as an example in Paragraph 3
A. Because it is cost-effective. B. Because it improves our health.
C. Because it is an outdoor sport. D. Because it uses fewer resources.
26. What does the author probably recommend according to Paragraph 4
A. Cycling around a lake.
B. Motor racing in the desert.
C. Playing basketball in a gym.
D. Swimming in a sports center.
27. Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A Golf: a waste of resource.
B. Green sports: a wiser choice.
C. Power walking: a simple exercise.
D. Sports center: a greater replacement.
C
When children do something wrong, parents expect an apology (道歉). Children often try to read their parents’ mind or butter up (奉承) their parents by saying, “I’m sorry.” Even though they did not do anything wrong, they will act in that way because they are scared to make their parents angry. Children always look timid (胆小的) because they have been anxious or nervous about being punished by parents.
When parents force them to apologize they will lose the opportunity to think by themselves why they should apologize or what was wrong. So, how can we make them understand properly what was wrong
If parents never give children a chance and say something like, “That’ s not good” or “Say you’re sorry”, children cannot learn to reflect their behavior. So, the first thing that parents should do is listening to their children, asking questions such as what happened, why they did it. Once children have their parents’ attention and feel at ease, they can easily accept their parents’ words.
Children do not have enough skills to tell good or bad things, therefore, it is necessary for parents to teach them what was wrong. When parents explain what was wrong to children, short and simple words should be used as much as possible. Moreover, it would be more effective to tell children what kind of behavior makes parents feel a certain way. For example, it would be good to express mom’s feelings with something like “When you hit me, mommy will get hurt.” “When you call me stupid, I feel sad.”
In this way, children can understand that they hurt mom or they make her sad, therefore, they will become able to apologize naturally. That would be more understandable for children why their behavior was wrong than being scolded by parents something like “Hitting is not good!” “You cannot say stupid to someone else.”
Many people believe that children are too young to understand what parents say, however, children actually can understand parents’ feelings if parents use simple words and speak calmly. Parents should avoid speaking one-sidedly and always try to listen to children. Talking to each other would be the best way.
28. Why do children apologize when they don’t want to
A. To please their parents.
B. To act like their parents.
C. To show their politeness.
D. To show regrets for their mistakes.
29. What is important for parents in making children apologize
A. Kindness. B. Patience. C. Seriousness. D. Timeliness.
30. What should parents do when explaining children’s wrongdoings
A. Speak briefly and clearly.
B. Show what other children do.
C. Punish their wrong behaviors.
D. Do the same thing to children.
31. What’s the author’s advice in correcting children’s bad behaviors
A. Leaving them alone.
B. Giving them a lesson.
C. Communicating with each other.
D. Letting children listen to parents.
D
What do you do with the things you love You probably take care of them and keep them safe. That’s not what Cameron Payne does. The boy from North Carolina is sharing his love of books by giving them away.
When Cameron heard about a family who lost everything in a house fire, he was looking for a way to help them. He was sad that all of their books were destroyed. That’s when he created his program, which gives books away to people in need.
Cameron’s program collects books for young people of all ages and reading levels. He collects books for kids who are blind or with low vision, too, because he wants everyone to have books. Cameron knows that books can help kids think about their future. They do this by helping kids dream about what they might be when they grow up. Learning about new things can give kids new interests. Six years later, Cameron is still giving away books.
Many of the books he gives away were given to him by others, but Cameron’s grandmother also shops for books that don’t cost a lot. She buys books that are new or that look new. In addition to working with schools, Cameron and his grandmother give books to children in places near their home, such as hospitals, libraries, and day camps.
Cameron wants to keep his program going and growing. Over the past six years, he has given away more than 3,000 books. He has also won many prizes for his work. His program has grown over the years, too. Last Christmas, Cameron was able to give away toys and books.
Cameron Payne does a lot for kids by giving away the things he loves. Who needs help in your community How might you help
32. What caused Cameron to create his program
A. His own books destroyed by a fire.
B. Someone’s losing all the books to a fire.
C. His house’s being burned down by a fire.
D. Somebody’s sadness about the accident.
33. What can we learn about the collected books according to Paragraphs 3-4
A. Children with hearing loss can receive new books.
B. Books are given to children with advanced levels.
C. Children have no interest in new books at all.
D. Cameron’s granny makes contributions to book collection.
34. Why does the author put two questions in the last paragraph
A. Because the author intends to encourage more people to help others.
B. Because the author would like to attract readers’ interest.
C. Because the author wants to remind people to value books.
D. Because the author plans to leave a deep impression on readers.
35. Which words best describe Cameron’s personality
A. Selfish and distant. B. Selfless and helpful.
C. Well-rounded and hopeful. D. Confident and positive.

____39____
College work will occupy most of your day. Your health, for one, is something you may start to neglect as you throw yourself fully into college life.

A
Are you looking for some movies You’ve landed on the right place. Let’s take a look at the list I’ve collected.
A Beautiful Mind
A Beautiful Mind is the story of John Nash, a mathematician who went on to win the Nobel Prize for his Game Theory. This movie brings his whole journey on screen—from his beginning to his downhill ride.
The first half is all about his rise to fame while the second half shows how he slowly falls into madness. After many years of fighting, he finally is victorious.
I.Q.
The story is about an auto mechanic who falls for Albert Einstein’s niece. The only problem is that she is engaged (已订婚的) to someone else. Fortunately, Einstein likes him. The young man pretends to be a physicist to run after her, but things don’t go as he has planned.
If A Beautiful Mind was a little too heavy for you, I.Q. would be the perfect fit. It’s a light drama that is funny and heartwarming for the most part.
Good Will Hunting
Good Will Hunting is a touching tale of a troubled young man called Will Hunting who is gifted with a natural talent in mathematics
However, he is struggling to find his identity. He can solve any math problem, but not the one he seems to be struggling within his life. His life seems to be getting only worse until one day he meets Sean, a therapist, who helps him find direction in life.
Creation
Creation is a story of a famous scientist, Charles Darwin, best known for his Theory of Evolution. This movie attempts to bring his struggling days into focus, the time when he was dealing with the loss of his daughter and was suffering from hallucinations (幻觉). At the same time, he was working on a book called On the Origins of Species, which he finally completed.
All in all, Creation is a great historical drama.

Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf causes serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces.
There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.
24. What do we know about golf from Paragraph 2
A. It eats up city areas of Portugal and Spain.
B. It causes water shortages around the world.
C. It needs water and energy to keep its courses.
D. It pollutes the Earth with chemicals and wastes.
25. Why does the author use power walking as an example in Paragraph 3
A. Because it is cost-effective. B. Because it improves our health.
C. Because it is an outdoor sport. D. Because it uses fewer resources.
26. What does the author probably recommend according to Paragraph 4
A. Cycling around a lake.
B. Motor racing in the desert.
C. Playing basketball in a gym.
D. Swimming in a sports center.
27. Which of the following would be the best title for the text

【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf causes serious water shortage in some local areas.(有些运动需要大量的资源。正如你所知,高尔夫不仅消耗了大片的乡村土地,还消耗了大量的水。此外,各种各样的化学物质和大量的能源被用来保持其良好的状态。这会造成严重的环境影响。例如,在葡萄牙和西班牙的干旱地区,高尔夫在一些地方造成了严重的水资源短缺)”可知,高尔夫需要水和能量来保持其良好的状态。故选C项。
【25题详解】

You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit.(有许多环保运动。竞走就是其中之一,你今天就可以练习。除了一双好鞋,你不需要任何特殊的装备;你也不用担心你的钱包了。简单而免费的快走还能让你保持健康)”可知,本段使用竞走作为一个例子,是为了它使用更少的资源,是一项很好的环保运动推荐给读者。故选D项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”.

When children do something wrong, parents expect an apology (道歉). Children often try to read their parents’ mind or butter up (奉承) their parents by saying, “I’m sorry.” Even though they did not do anything wrong, they will act in that way because they are scared to make their parents angry. Children always look timid (胆小的) because they have been anxious or nervous about being punished by parents.
When parents force them to apologize, they will lose the opportunity to think by themselves why they should apologize or what was wrong. So, how can we make them understand properly what was wrong
If parents never give children a chance and say something like, “That’ s not good” or “Say you’re sorry”, children cannot learn to reflect their behavior. So, the first thing that parents should do is listening to their children, asking questions such as what happened, why they did it. Once children have their parents’ attention and feel at ease, they can easily accept their parents’ words.
Children do not have enough skills to tell good or bad things, therefore, it is necessary for parents to teach them what was wrong. When parents explain what was wrong to children, short and simple words should be used as much as possible. Moreover, it would be more effective to tell children what kind of behavior makes parents feel a certain way. For example, it would be good to express mom’s feelings with something like “When you hit me, mommy will get hurt.” “When you call me stupid, I feel sad.”
In this way, children can understand that they hurt mom or they make her sad, therefore, they will become able to apologize naturally. That would be more understandable for children why their behavior was wrong than being scolded by parents something like “Hitting is not good!” “You cannot say stupid to someone else.”
Many people believe that children are too young to understand what parents say, however, children actually can understand parents’ feelings if parents use simple words and speak calmly. Parents should avoid speaking one-sidedly and always try to listen to children. Talking to each other would be the best way.
28. Why do children apologize when they don’t want to
A. To please their parents.
B. To act like their parents.
C. To show their politeness.
D. To show regrets for their mistakes.
29. What is important for parents in making children apologize
A. Kindness. B. Patience. C. Seriousness. D. Timeliness.
30. What should parents do when explaining children’s wrongdoings
A. Speak briefly and clearly.
B. Show what other children do.
C. Punish their wrong behaviors.
D. Do the same thing to children.
31. What’s the author’s advice in correcting children’s bad behaviors
A. Leaving them alone.
B. Giving them a lesson.
C. Communicating with each other.
D. Letting children listen to parents.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍当孩子犯错的时候,家长应该如何做。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“When children do something wrong, parents expect an apology (道歉). Children often try to read their parents’ mind or butter up (奉承) their parents by saying, “I’m sorry.” Even though they did not do anything wrong, they will act in that way because they are scared to make their parents angry. (当孩子们做错了什么,父母希望得到道歉。孩子们经常试图读懂父母的心思,或者说“对不起”来讨好父母。即使他们没有做错任何事,他们也会这样做,因为他们害怕让父母生气。)”可知,孩子向父母道歉是为了讨好他们,让父母高兴。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“So, the first thing that parents should do is listening to their children, asking questions such as what happened, why they did it. Once children have their parents’ attention and feel at ease, they can easily accept their parents’ words. (因此,父母应该做的第一件事就是倾听孩子的声音,问他们发生了什么,为什么这么做。一旦孩子得到了父母的关注并感到放心,他们就可以很容易地接受父母的话。)”可知,如果父母想让孩子道歉,首先就是要有耐心。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“When parents explain what was wrong to children, short and simple words should be used as much as possible. Moreover, it would be more effective to tell children what kind of behavior makes parents feel a certain way. (当父母向孩子解释问题时,应该尽可能使用简短的词语。此外,告诉孩子什么样的行为会让父母有某种感觉会更有效。)”可知,父母向孩子解释他们犯的错的时候,要简洁清楚的告诉孩子。故选A。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Parents should avoid speaking one-sidedly and always try to listen to children. Talking to each other would be the best way. (父母应该避免片面地说话,并尽量倾听孩子的意见。互相交谈将是最好的方式。)”可知,作者建议父母和孩子互相交谈。故选C。
D
What do you do with the things you love You probably take care of them and keep them safe. That’s not what Cameron Payne does. The boy from North Carolina is sharing his love of books by giving them away.
When Cameron heard about a family who lost everything in a house fire, he was looking for a way to help them. He was sad that all of their books were destroyed. That’s when he created his program, which gives books away to people in need.
Cameron’s program collects books for young people of all ages and reading levels. He collects books for kids who are blind or with low vision, too, because he wants everyone to have books. Cameron knows that books can help kids think about their future. They do this by helping kids dream about what they might be when they grow up. Learning about new things can give kids new interests. Six years later, Cameron is still giving away books.
Many of the books he gives away were given to him by others, but Cameron’s grandmother also shops for books that don’t cost a lot. She buys books that are new or that look new. In addition to working with schools, Cameron and his grandmother give books to children in places near their home, such as hospitals, libraries, and day camps.
Cameron wants to keep his program going and growing. Over the past six years, he has given away more than 3,000 books. He has also won many prizes for his work. His program has grown over the years, too. Last Christmas, Cameron was able to give away toys and books.

Plus, the event can be an initial topic of conversation, giving your peers an easy way to engage with others.
____39____
College work will occupy most of your day. Your health for one, is something you may start to neglect as you throw yourself fully into college life.

【36题详解】
上文“Making friends in community college is a bit trickier than in four-year schools in some cases. Students don’t typically dorm at community colleges, so there isn’t always a shared living environment.(在某些情况下,在社区大学交朋友比在四年制大学要棘手一些。学生通常不住在社区大学,所以并不总是有一个共享的生活环境。)”提出在社区大学难交到朋友,下文“Here’s a look at how to make friends at a community college.(下面我们来看看如何在社区大学交朋友。)”却在讲在社区大学难交朋友的方法,上下文有转折关系。D项“However, that doesn’t mean opportunities aren’t available(然而,这并不意味着没有机会)”承上启下,引出下文。故选D项。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Previously, you may have only had opportunities to socialize with other students in your classes.(以前,你可能只有机会与班上的其他学生交往。)”讲在没有做兼职前,你的圈子就是你班上的同学。C项“You may start to see some new faces at your job though.(但是你可能会开始在工作中看到一些新面孔。)”说明在兼职的时候会遇到新面孔,解释了“Get hired on campus”的原因,上下文语意一致。故选C项。
【38题详解】
根据小标题“Attend events(参加活动)”和下文“Whether it’s special lectures, career fairs, musical performances, or anything else, these occasions bring students together outside of the classroom.(无论是特别讲座、招聘会、音乐表演,还是其他什么,这些场合都能让学生们在课堂之外聚在一起。)”可知,本段主要说明大学各种课内外活动对于社交的影响。F项“Community colleges do hold a variety of activities throughout the year(社区大学全年都有各种各样的活动)”与主题一致,引出下文。故选F项。
【39题详解】
设空句是段首小标题。根据下文“Your health, for one, is something you may start to neglect as you throw yourself fully into college life. Needless to say, ignoring your health is absolutely unacceptable.(比如,当你全身心投入大学生活时,你可能会开始忽视你的健康。不用说,忽视你的健康是绝对不可接受的。)”和“You can start with your pal by heading over to your school’s gym or fit-ness center and try meeting new people there.(你可以和你的朋友一起去学校的健身房或健身中心,尝试在那里结识新朋友。)”可知,本段和体育锻炼有关,所以A项“Work out with a partner(和同伴一起锻炼)”是最佳标题。故选A项。
【40题详解】
根据下文“You can start with your pal by heading over to your school’s gym or fit-ness center and try meeting new people there.(你可以和你的朋友一起去学校的健身房或健身中心,尝试在那里结识新朋友。)”可知,要找朋友一起锻炼,是对G项“Finding yourself an exercise buddy will help encourage you to become more active(给自己找一个运动伙伴会帮助你变得更积极)”信息的承接与说明。故选G项。

77. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jeremy Hampden has a large circle of friends and is very popular at parties. Everybody admires him for his great sense of humor — everybody, that is, except his six-year-old daughter, Jenny. Recently, one of Jeremy’s closest friends asked him to make a speech at a wedding reception. This is the sort of thing that Jeremy loves. He prepared the speech carefully and went to the wedding with Jenny. He had included a large number of funny stories in the speech and, of course, it was a great success. But as soon as he had finished, Jenny said to him, “Daddy, I don’t want to stay here any longer, even one more minute! Daddy, let’s go home.” Jeremy was a little disappointed by this but he did as his daughter asked.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为100左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
On the way home, there was a long silence between them.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
On the way home, there was a long silence between them. For the first time, the father and the daughter didn’t walk hand in hand. Jeremy knew something was wrong but didn’t know the reason exactly. When seeing the tears in Jenny’s eyes, he decided not to get the answer directly. When they passed a cake shop, Jeremy broke the ice and invited Jenny a cake for herself. That’s what Jenny loved and the cloud on her face began to break up as if nothing unhappy had happened. When they nearly got home, Jeremy felt it was time to deal with his puzzle. In a gentle voice, he asked, “Jenny, why didn’t you want to stay there any longer ” “But, daddy, I just don’t want you to be laughed at by so many people!”
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了Jeremy Hampden有很多朋友,因为他的幽默感,他在聚会上很受欢迎,但他六岁的女儿珍妮并不这样认为。最近,杰弗里的一个最亲密的朋友请他在一个婚宴上发表演讲,他认真准备了演讲稿并和珍妮一起去参加了聚会。他在演讲中加入了大量有趣的故事,演讲获得成功,但他一说完,珍妮就告诉他她想回家,虽然杰弗里有点儿失望,但还是按照女儿的要求做了。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
由段落首句内容“在回家的路上,他们沉默了很长时间。”可知,接下来可描写杰里米如何打破沉默,并且得知女儿提前离开的原因。
2. 续写线索:询问女儿的看法——女儿不喜欢演讲——询问女儿原因——女儿解释原因
3. 词汇激活
行为类
①知道:know/recognize/realize
②看见:see/notice/observe
③解决:deal with/solve/settle
情绪类
①不高兴:unhappy/sad/upset
