第一部分 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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The World Health Organization (WHO) said that processed meat may be carcipogenic(致癌). Do you still dare eat cancer-linked processed meat Here are some comments on the website.
Bill (Australia) I’d rather live a short, pleasant life than a long, unhappy one, denying(拒绝给予) myself tasty food just because some experts say it’s not healthy. We should all enjoy the one life we have ---if I had listened to every piece of health advice I would never go anywhere, eat anything or enjoy life in any way. So, I won’t change my habit. I am going to have bacon sandwich, glass of wine, burger, can of coke whenever I fell like it.
Tim (America) Is meat really as bad as smoking: I don’t think so. According to the WHO 34,000 people die worldwide per year because they eat processed meat. In 2012, 8.2 million people died of cancer worldwide. That means if you eat a lot of processed meat you have a chance of being among the 0.41 percent of people dying of cancer because of processed meat. I’ll take the chance.
Helen (Switzerland) The WHO doesn’t say that just one bite of meat causes cancer, it is rather saying that people should vary their diet. People who eat more meat often have other unhealthy habits. They usually eat fewer fruits and vegetables and they also often exercise less.
Van (China) Perhaps this report will make people consider becoming vegetarians ( 素食者). So for your health, the environment and future generations, it is not difficult; it just needs a change of attitude. There is a vast variety of other delicious food available to enjoy.
1 .What if Bill has to change his habit
A. He’ll feel unhappy. B. He’ll live a pleasant life.
C. He’ll go on a diet. D. He’ll become a vegetarian.
2 What does Tim think about eating processed meat
A. Too risky. B. Fairly safe.
C. Popular worldwide. D. Very unhealthy.
3 . What may be Helen a response to WHO’s warning
A. Caring little about it. B. Eating whatever she likes.
C. Varying the diet ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and doing exercise. D. Taking a diet without meat.
4 .Who have the most similar viewpoints
A. Bill and Tim. B. Tim and Helen.
C. Helen and Van. D. Bill and Van.
B
When I was about 10, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr Lee. I knew I could see Mr Lee anytime around the neighborhood, so I just stood there. After we passed him, my mother stopped and said something unforgettable, "You let that be the last time you ever walk by somebody you know without opening your mouth to speak, because even a dog can wag its tail when it passes you on the street." That sentence sounds simple but it made me become who I am.
At work, I used to say hello to the president of the company and ask him how our business was doing. But I also spoke to the people in the caf and people who cleaned the buildings, and asked them how their children were doing, for every single person deserves to be accepted, no mater how humble (卑微的)they are. I remember that after a few years of passing by the president, I had the courage to ask him for a chat. We had a great talk. At some point, when I asked him how far he thought I could go in his company, he said that if I wanted to, I could get all the way to his seat.
I've become vice president, but that hasn't changed how I treat people. I speak to people wherever I am. Speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it lets them come into mine, too. The day you speak to someone who has his head down and then see him lift it up and smile, you will realize how powerful it is just to open your mouth and say hello.
5. What is the best title of this passage
A. The Power of Being Talkative
B. My Mother's Influence on Me
C. The Power of Saying Hello
D. My Way to Become Vice-president
6. What can we learn from the second paragraph
A. The writer didn't say hello to everyone in the company.
B. The writer made a very good impression on the president of the company.
C. The president of the company thought the writer was much better than him.
D. The president of the company actually didn't like the writer at all.
7. For the writer, saying hello to others ________.
A. is a way to get what he wants
B. has become a habit and a way of life
C. is a way to show respect for his mother
D. is important in making him remembered
8. According to Paragraph 3, in the writer's opinion, speaking to others can ________.
A. make our world much better
B. make people much happier every day
C. help people understand each other better
D. help people work much better
C
It’s never easy to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) say goodbye to a longtime companion. For fans of Naruto, the ending of the manga(漫画) on Nov 10 is like a farewell to an old friend from a misplaced youth.
After 15 years, the plucky teen with blonde hair and an orange jumpsuit grew to be a mainstay in the lives of many readers.
“He’s far from perfect. He’s a very picky eater. He’s afraid of ghosts. He’s got the habit of giving nicknames to people. Naruto reminds me a lot of my self. But I admire him for his courage and determination, for the way he faces struggles and difficulties. He would never give up no matter what,” said Wu Xian, 25, a faithful fan who works for Enlight Media in Nanjing.
The anime follows the adventures of leading character Naruto Uzumaki, who wants to be the world’s best ninja. Just like the lead characters in several other young adult comics and cartoons, Naruto wasn’t born to be a hero. Because of a nine-tailed beast sealed within him, Naruto was neglected and ostracized by most people throughout his childhood. But years of scorn and isolation didn’t make him pessimistic or world-weary. On the contrary, he works hard to be a capable ninja and to win the respect and trust of his friends and fellow villagers.
In this global best-selling manga series, Masashi Kishimoto draws out a mysterious world of ninjas with unprecedented abilities and unique personalities.
Uchiha Sasuke, who later became Naruto’s best friend, was dismissive of him when they first met at the ninja academy, as he was certain he was superior. Naruto never gave up trying to both surpass and befriend Sasuke.
“I felt really touched when Sasuke said to Naruto that for the first time he considered him a comrade. Actually as he grew stronger, Naruto won recognition among his people, but Sasuke was always special to him,” said Shao Shuai, 23, a postgraduate student at Hong Kong Baptist University.
Finally, Naruto has achieved his goal of becoming the seventh Hokage. There are a few lingering questions: can Naruto’s master Jiraiya see his success, what’s under Kakashi’s mask… But regardless of these loose ends, the young ninja will remain a fond memory in our minds.
9. What may be the best title of this passage
A. The future of Naruto B. Naruto never give up
C. Naruto comes to its close D. The spirits in Naruto
10. Which of the foll ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )owing characteristics of Naruto is NOT mentioned according to the passage
A. Being afraid of ghosts B. Being courageous
C. Being choosy about food D. Being world—weary
11. What is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the meaning of the underlined phrase “was dismissive of” in Paragraph4
A, Speak highly of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) B. Look down upon C. Be fond of D. Be dependent upon
D
Thanks to modern ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )technologies, we now have the solutions to most eyesight problems. Doctors can use different treatments—PRK, Lasik (镭射视力矫正术) , Lasek and Intraocular
Lenses—to solve a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll types of eyesight problems while limiting the side effects. People believe eye operations are about as safe and effective as surgery (外科手术) can be. However, for an industry that promises clearness, many hospitals have kept their patients in the dark about the risks and realities. Governments are of no help either as there are no limits to who can buy medical instruments.
Despite a good re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cord of the surgery, thousands of people around the world suffer from an eye operation that goes wrong. The consumer - advocate website posts an astonishing series of unhappy endings—infected corneas(角膜),triple vision (三重视觉) and permanently damaged eyesight. The message boards are full of people who came out of Lasik with far better vision but still in great unhappiness, affected by poor night vision, dry eyes and worse. It's vital to research the subject if you're considering surgery. Here's a guide to help you see things clearly.
Know what you're getting into. If you believe all the ads, after eye surgery, you'll be able to read the bottom line of an eye chart through a brick wall. If only it were true. You may not end up with a vision as good as is promised. Besides, eye surgery still isn't fit for people with certain severe vision problems or an eye disease. The same goes for children under 18 and pregnant women, whose eyes may be experiencing changes. So don't be shocked if a doctor gazes into your eyes and shows you the door. Finally, be prepared for side effect. Some complain of dry eyes and require eye drops known as artificial tears for months. Others see light circles and star bursts while driving at night. Fortunately such symptoms tend to be minor and fade away.
Find a d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )octor. Ask friends for recommendations or look for one on the Internet. Whatever you do, don't make a decision on a rock - bottom price. You have only one set of eyes.
Ask the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) doctor right questions: Who will be doing the operation Being easily available and open communication with the doctor and his team are typical features of a good practice. What are your qualification certificates' How much experience do you have What's your complication rate(并发症比率) The best doctors have a serious surgical complication rate below 1 percent. Beware of doctors who can't answer these questions. Finally, what's included in the price Watch out for hospitals that offer a low price and then charge for extras for later visits.
12. From the first paragraph we know that____________.
A. doctors can deal ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) with any eyesight problem without side effects
B. people are still ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) concerned about the safety and effect of eye surgery
C. some hospitals ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) don't tell the patients all the truth about eye surgery
D. government now do not care who can buy medical instruments
13. The writer menti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ons some information from a website to show that ___________.
A. the risk of having eye surgery is higher than expected
B. more and more people begin to take eyesight surgery
C. eyesight surgery can not bring people true happiness
D. much information about eye surgery on the Internet is false
14. By using the u ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nderlined words "shows you the door", the writer means the doctor ________.
A. shows you how to get to the operating room
B. will not carry out an eyesight operation on you
C. examines your eyesight with an eye chart on the door
D. asks you to open the door and let the next patient in
15. According to th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e passage, what kind of doctor is preferable for eye surgery
A. A doctor who offers a low price
B. A doctor with a high complication rate.
C. A doctor willing to communicate with patients
D. A doctor working in a large hospital

短文改错
解析:scary→scared scary可怕的,sacred感到害怕的。根据下文的She closed her eyes tight and grasped her red bag on her lap应该是老太太感到害怕,故scary改为scared。
2.命题立意:考查代词。
解析:I→she “我认为她(老太太)紧张,……”。文中的代词用错,故将I改为she。
3.命题立意:考查非谓语动词。
解析:feel前去掉to make sb. do sth.让人做某事,不定式作make的宾语补足语,省去to。因此去掉to。
4.命题立意:考查时态。
解析:talk→talked 根据语境应是动作发生在过去,故应将talk改为talked。
5.命题立意:考查系动词。
解析:over前加was 题干中when引导的时间状语从句中缺少系动词,应用过去时。
6.命题立意:考查名词。
解析:luggages→luggage luggage行李,是不可数名词。故将luggages改为luggage。
7.命题立意:考查介词。
解析:about→for 根据词组be grateful for因……而感激。故将about改为for。
8.命题立意:考查冠词。
解析:the→a give sb. a big hug给某人一个大大的拥抱。
9.命题立意:考查连词。
解析:unless→until unless除非,until直到。“她不停地回头看我直到我们再也看不到对方”,根据句意改为until。
10.命题立意:考查固定短语。 解析:long→longer not...any longer不再。
Dear Tommy,
I am really feel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing bad that you are being troubled by overweight these days.
I have read ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an article about overweight kids. It is said that overweight kids don't exercise enough or eat right. Some kids are overweight because fast food restaurants serve the wrong foods or it's a problem of genes. No matter what causes your problem, I suggest you go on a diet or just eat less for half a year and see the result.
Also, don't f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orget to take more exercise. You know, every afternoon after class I play basketball together with my classmates.
Hope you feel better and look forward to good news about you.
Yours,
