第三部分: 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
A
Sri Lanka is known ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as the “Pearl of the Indian Ocean”, and it is easy to see why. This little country never fails to please visitors.
Arrive
The national ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) airline is Sri Lankan Airlines, which flies from Colombo to London and a couple of other European cities. The country’s main airport is Colombo Bandaranaike, located 29km north of the capital city.
Why now
The best time to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )visit Sri Lanka’s southern beaches is from November to April. So by going early in the season, you’ll get the best weather. Also in November, Deepavali, known as “Diwali” or the “Festival of Lights”, is Sri Lanka’s main religious festival, celebrated throughout the country.
See
There is ple ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nty to see in Sri Lanka. The ancient capital cities of Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura are worth seeing, and so are many outstanding ruins. Other must-sees are the rock fortress (要塞) of Sigiriya, towering over the jungle as far as the eye can see, and Dambulla’s cave temple, the country’s largest and best preserved. Both are UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) Sites. Kandy is a picturesque town, which was the last stronghold of the Kandyan Kings. Today it is a cultural relic centre where age-old customs, arts, and crafts remain.
Do
Sri Lanka owns ab ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )out 1,600 km of beautiful palm-shaded beaches as well as warm, pure seas and colourful coral reefs. You can explore the underwater world, and surfing and diving are available too. Away from the shore, wildlife is a big draw for Sri Lanka, and Yala National Park is one of the best places in the world to see wild animals including leopards (豹) and elephants.
Taste
Sri Lanka is celebrated for its excellent food, with a particular emphasis on fresh fruit and vegetables on menus everywhere. Fish and seafood are a big part of the local diet.
Did you know
Sri Lanka is kno ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )wn for its tea, but it is also the world’s largest producer and exporter of cinnamon(肉桂).
56. If you want t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o know something about “Diwali”, you’d better go there in______ .
A. September. B. October. C. November. D. May.
57. We learn from the passage that Sri Lanka__________.
A. is in the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Pacific Ocean B. is famous for its excellent food
C. is the world ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )’s largest producer of tea D. has flights only to London

B
I am a good mother to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consid ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er myself as the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows (誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they come. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here’s wh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at I want to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion, the bigger paycheck, the larger house.
Get a life i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure (休闲) , it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them thi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion (激情) as it ought to be lived.
59. The best title of this passage probably is____.
A. Love your friends B. Live a real life
C. Don’t waste time D. Be a good mother and wife

A. Through social ex ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )perience. B. By learning from her friends.
C. Through an unfor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tunate experience. D. From her children and husband.
61. What’s the author’s attitude toward work
A. Do it well to serve ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) others. B. Earn enough money to make life better.
C. Try your bes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t to get higher position and pay. D. Don’t let it affect your real life.
62. It can be inferred from the passage that____.
A. the author likes traveling very much
B. the author didn’t try her best to work well
C. the author spent all her time caring for her children
D. the author is a success in personal life
C
In Canada and the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) United States, there is a new group of children called “satellite kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place.
Asians are imm ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )igrating to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before. Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West. In Asia, especially in China, Japan, and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.
The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East. Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes. Because of these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West. Therefore, these children become “satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid”.
Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kid” problem. Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. To be a “satellite kid” means growing up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means growing up lonely, because your parents are elsewhere. What these “satellite kids” will probably say to their parents is that it’s better to have parents around than to have a university education.
63. Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because ________.
A. they hope their children may easily find a job there
B. the kids may not be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) accepted by universities in their own countries
C. all foreign univer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sities are better than the ones in their own countries
D. the kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends
64. “Satellite kids” refer to Asian kids ________.
A. without patents B. living abroad alone
C. with university education D. speaking no English
65. Some Asian immigra ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nt children become “satellite kids” because their parents ________.
A. want to leav ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e their own country B. want them to go to university
C. return to their cou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ntry to work D. want them to be independent
66. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Parents want a better education for their kids.
B. Parents feel lonely and miss their families.
C. Canadians ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and Americans begin to notice the “satellite kids” problem.
D. Kids in fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )reign countries alone are badly in need of care from family.
D
February 4, 2012 s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aw the take-off of a new rising NBA star-Jeremy Lin.
Among professional ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )basketball players, Jeremy Lin's background is not typical. He graduated from Harvard University, which sends few players to the NBA, and he is the only Chinese-American NBA player. But when you watch him on the court, there is no doubt that he belongs there. He moves with speed and grace that demonstrate years of faithful practice, which is fueled by a love for basketball.
Lin's enjoyment ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of basketball actually began in Taiwan. When Lin's father moved to U.S., his interest in the sport only grew and he passed on this love of basketball to his son, introducing him to the game at the age of five. The young Lin spent much of his youth playing basketball for fun.
In high school, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Lin dreamed of playing in the NBA. When he applied for college, he was not offered a single sports scholarship. However, after his admission to Harvard, he was offered a place on its college basketball team.
During Lin's ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )time at Harvard, his basketball career began to speed up. He scored 1,482 points, making him one of the highest scorers in Ivy League history.
When he graduat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed, no professional teams offered Lin a contract, but he was invited to play in the NBA Summer League. He played well and ended up eagerly signing a contract with the Golden State Warriors.
At first，playi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng in professional games filled Lin with excitement. He treasured opportunities to meet players he had been watching on TV for years. But slowly, the excitement wore off and was replaced by anxiety. In a few very difficult months, he was cut by two teams before the New York Knicks picked him up.
But he had the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) courage and determination to stick to his dream, so he put himself into hard training to get ready for his opportunity to come. Then his moment arrived on February 4, 2012，on which his excellent performance made him famous overnight. After that, he led the Knicks to their fifth straight victory.
The Associate ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d Press called Lin "the most surprising story in the NBA". Knicks fans developed the nickname for him "Linsanity" (林发疯）. Time magazine released its 2012 list of the 100 "Most Influential People in the World", Jeremy Lin included.
No doubt, Lin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )fever is continuing to spread if you haven't already caught "Linsanity", get ready.
67. What does the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) phrases "wore off" in seventh paragraph probably mean
A. arose ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) B. disappeared C. grew D. remained
68. Which of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. Lin learned to play basketball when he was eight.
B. Before Lin there was no Chinese-American NBA players.
C. Lin was exci ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ted for professional games and did a good job at the beginning.
D. Lin is the most outstanding player in NBA.
69. Which is the right order for Lin's life
a He made an excellent performance on Feb,4.
b He was fired by the Golden State Warriors.
c He was invited to play in the NBA Summer League.
d He graduated from Harvard University.
e He became famous overnight.
A. a, d, c, b, e B. d, b, c, a, a C. d, c, b, a, e D. a, e, d, c, b
70. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. NBA prefers graduates from Harvard University.
B. Lin got an easy entry into NBA.
C. Lin didn't show his basketball talents in Harvard University.
D. Lin didn't have a smooth road in NBA.

第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题，每小题1分，满分10 分)
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词(每空一词)。
Iceland has the hi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ghest birth rate in Europe, the highest divorce rate, and the highest percentage of women working outside the home. Such statistics are often evidence of an unhappy, troublesome society, with loads of children, broken homes and absent mothers. But Iceland is the exception—its citizens are apparently the happiest in the world. New rankings from the United Nations rate Iceland as the best country in the world in which to live.
Perhaps the count ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ry’s geographic location contributes to Icelanders’ happiness. Located in the middle of the North Atlantic, with Greenland as its nearest neighbor, Iceland is free from the taboos that cause so much suffering elsewhere. For instance, people who divorce are not looked down upon by the society.
Icelanders’ ancesto ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs are the Vikings, a north European people who invaded European coasts from the beginning of the 8th through the 10th century. This tradition of getting out into the world lives on in modern-day Iceland. Practically all Icelanders have studied or worked in other countries, and most speak English. Perhaps as a result, Iceland’s economic policies combine the best of those from Europe and the US to create its own welfare system.
Indeed, the coun ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )try is rich in writers, painters, film makers and accomplished musicians. There’s Sigur Ros, a post-rock band that plays to the highest standards all over the world. Half the population appears to have written a book.
“Iceland has ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) terrible nature, with its bitter ever-changing weather,” said Haraldur Jonsson, a painter, video and performance artist. “We cannot escape it. So we find ways to live with it. We have to have a rich life to fill the empty spaces.”
(71) ________ about Iceland
An island with the (72) _______ citizens ◆It is the best coun ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )try to live in with many troublesome problems such as loads of children, broken homes and (73)_____ of mothers.◆The (74) _______ makes Iceland free from much suffering caused by social taboos.
An island with the (75) ______ tradition of going out ◆The tradition c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )omes from the ancestors who invaded European coasts for (76)______ centuries.◆The tradition contributes to Iceland’s (77)______ economic policies.
An island with a (78) _____ life ◆Icelanders ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )find ways to (79)_____ their bitter ever-changing weather and create colorful culture.◆(80)______ of the population appear to have written a book and most of them are artists in various fields.

One possible version:
Being a civilized passenger on the bus
It is not uncommon t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o come across uncivilized behaviors on the bus. As is shown in the pictures above, some passengers eat food with strong smell, such as steamed bun with meat stuffing, making others feel disgusted. Some speak loudly on the mobile phone as if there were nobody but himself on the bus.
Both of the above behaviors are socially unacceptable. They reveal an undesirable situation that some passengers lack the awareness of good public manners. Without realizing that they are sharing the communal public space, they show no respect for other bus riders. The only thing they care about is their own interest and comfort. It is strongly recommended that the government should launch a massive moral campaign to fight against this trend.
As middle school ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) students, we should attach importance to good manners in public. We should not jump the queue when waiting for the bus. Also, we should avoid annoying behaviors on the bus, such as spitting, littering, swearing, grabbing seats and so on. Only when we behave decently can we become civilized passengers.
