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
It's true that teens don't get enough sleep，but changing the school starting time would have a chaotic effect and throw everyone off balance.
Scientists have shown that teens are more active later at night than children and adults, so most teens are probably staying up late for whatever reasons. “The researchers measured the presence of the sleep－promoting hormone (荷尔蒙) in teenagers' saliva (唾液) at different time of the day.” They learned that the hormone levels rise later at night than they do in children and adults—and remain at a higher level later in the morning. Measuring the hormone in the saliva is a good way to show that most teens have sleep problems, but changing school schedules isn't the best way to fix this. Most people arguing against changing school schedules would say that it would only cause teens to stay up and wake up later, thus leaving them with the same problem.
The biggest problem schools would come across from changing their schedules would be the after－school sports and job conflicts students and teachers would meet. “Teachers reported that students were more alert, and research showed that after－school sports and jobs would suffer.” Students in that area might have been able to deal with less time for jobs and sports somehow, but some of them have practice and earlier plans that would become conflicted if this change were to occur. Most students rarely have time to play a sport and do homework before 9 or 10 o'clock. Opening schools later may have worked for some areas, but the reality is often very different.
21．The meaning of the underlined word “chaotic” in the first paragraph is close to “________”．
A．positive B．apparent
C．negative D．absurd
答案与解析：C 词义猜测题。根据文章第二段最后两句以及第三段首句的内容可知，改变学校的上课时间会产生负面影响，故此处chaotic意思同negative。
22．Most teens have sleep problems because ________.
A．they are more active than children and adults
B．school work takes up most of their time
C．their hormone levels are higher later at night
D．they probably like staying up for no reason
答案与解析：C 细节理解题。由文章第二段中的内容可知：大多数青少年有睡眠方面的问题是由于他们体内促进睡眠的荷尔蒙含量到深夜才升高。
23．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．There are many conflicts between students and teachers.
B．Some of the teachers have practice and earlier plans.
C．Most students are able to do sports and homework before 9：00.
D. Ways to solve students' sleep problem vary from area to area.
答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可得知，解决青少年睡眠不足的问题采取的措施因地区而不同。
24．The passage mainly develops by ________.
A．giving reasons B．showing examples
C．comparing facts D．offering solutions
答案与解析：A 推理判断题。由文章内容可知，这篇文章首先提出观点，然后阐述各个方面的原因，写作方法应是A项。
B
I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office”．
Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don't have names. In Japan, people use landmarks (地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains，so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks，people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east，and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles，California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office？” you ask. “Oh，” they answer, “it's about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it？” They don't know.
It's true that a person doesn't know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico，no one answers “I don't know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don't know” is impolite. They usually give an answer，often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
25．When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually ________.
A．describe the place carefully
B．show him a map of the place
C．tell him the names of the streets
D．refer to recognizable buildings and places
答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句：“In Japan, people use landmarks(地标)in their directions instead of street names”和接下来所列举的事例可知：日本人用可辨认的建筑物指路。故选D项。
26．People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ________.
A．in order to save time
B．as a test
C．so as to be polite
D．for fun
答案与解析：C 推理判断题。根据第五段的“People in Yucatan believe that ‘I don't know’ is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one.”可知答案为C项。
27．What can we infer from the text?
A．It's important for travelers to understand cultural differences.
B．It's useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.
C．People have similar understandings of politeness.
D．New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.
答案与解析：A 推理判断题。根据文章第一段及整个文章的发展脉络分析：选项C、D显然是文章的细节，而选项B只说明了游客问问题的合适方式而没有提到回答的文化背景，因此，选项A更能涵盖文章的主要内容。
C
Drying food is a simple, low-cost way to keep food safe for eating. A piece of equipment that uses the sun is a good way to dry food. The simplest solar dryer is called the direct dryer.It has a cover made of clear glass or plastic. When the sun shines into the box，heat is produced. The heat is trapped inside the box and cannot escape back through the cover. The heat dries the food. The solar dryer works better if the sides of the box are black. This is because dark colors hold heat while light colors reflect it. One way to make the sides black is to use wood that has been blackened by fire.
The box can be made of almost any material such as wood and metal. The surface on which the food is placed should permit air to enter from below and pass through to the food. A surface made of wires with small square openings works very well. You should use wire with the largest openings that do not allow the food to fall through. Air that comes in from below the wire surface will also carry away water evaporated(蒸发)from the food as it dries.
A direct dryer will dry most vegetables in two-and-one-half to four hours at temperatures from 43℃ to 63℃. Fruits take longer，from four to six hours at the same temperatures. Solar food drying is fast，safe and low-cost. Solar dried food tastes delicious and looks good. It is also healthy because nutrients such as vitamin C are kept in the food.
28．We learn from the text that the solar dryer works well when ________.
A．the cover of it is heated by fire
B．the sides of the box are black
C．some heat can escape from the top
D．food takes up a small space in it
答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据第一段第五句“The solar dryer works better if the sides of the box are black.”可知应选B。
29．The surface where food is put should be ________.
A．dried by wind or air
B．painted with light color
C．made with small openings
D．made of glass or wire
答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据第二段第二、三句“The surface on which the food is placed should permit air to enter from below and pass through to the food. A surface made of wires with small square openings works very well.”可知，盒子的底部应该通风，所以要有洞。
30．We can learn from the text that ________.
A．it's easier to dry fruits than other food
B．food dried by a direct dryer looks black
C．it takes long to dry food with sunshine
D．solar drying is a healthy way to dry food
答案与解析：D 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“It is also healthy because nutrients such as vitamin C are kept in the food.”可知，利用太阳能烘干食物是一种健康的方法。
31．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A．How to Keep Food
B．How to Dry Food
C．The Direct Dryer
D．The Solar Power
答案与解析：C 主旨大意题 。从全文可知，本文主要讲了一个简单的太阳能烘干器的制作过程。
D
The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare's time is estimated(估计) to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.
In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate(足够的) working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.
The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.
32．What would be the best title for this passage?
A．The Difficulties of Learning English
B．International Communications
C．The Standard Varieties of English
D．English as a World Language
答案与解析：D 主旨题。根据第三段第一句及全文的内容：英语在各个国家的各个领域的应用，可推知此题的答案为 D。
33．Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A．Some 260 million people in the world have an adequate working knowledge of English.
B．There are some 260 million native speakers of English in the world.
C．It is almost impossible to estimate the number of people with an adequate working knowledge of English.
D．People learn English for a variety of reasons.
答案与解析：A 细节题。根据文章第一段中第二句及第二段的第一句的描述可推知此题的答案为A。
34．According to the passage, what is the main reason for the widespread use of English?
A．It was popular during Shakespeare's time.
B．It is used in former British colonies.
C．It serves the needs of its native speakers.
D．It is a world language that is used for international communication.
答案与解析：D 推断题。根据文章最后一段的描述，英语在世界不同领域、不同的地区的使用，可推知此题的答案为D。
35．What forms an adequate working knowledge of English?
A．The ability to read a newspaper.
B．It is difficult to judge because it differs for each situation.
C．Being a multilingual.
D．Being a native speaker.
答案与解析：B 细节题。根据文章第二段最后一句可推知此题答案为B。

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Muzak
The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear? __36__ It's similar to the music you listen to, but it's not exactly the same. That's because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you don't even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway.
Quiet background music used to be called “elevator (电梯) music” because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name “Muzak”. About one－third of the people in America listen to “Muzak” every day. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired. __37__
If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don't want their songs to be used as Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why? __38__
Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak does what it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background. __39__ Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries.
__40__ They say it's boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax and feel calm. One way or another, Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muzak!
A．Some people don't like Muzak.
B．The music gives them extra energy.
C．Music is playing in the background.
D．Factory workers produce 13 percent more.
E．Muzak tends to help people understand music better.
F．They get as much as $4 million a year if their songs are used.
G．Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world.

Three years ago, I became a student in a ordinary school. Disappointing as I felt at the shabby campus and the poorly－equipped classroom, I found the teachers patient but considerate. Besides, I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere in class. I decide to make the best use for it. I worked hardly and got along well my teachers and classmates. Whenever I had difficulties, they were always helpful. Soon, I became one of the top student in my class, what greatly increased my confidence and I got more motivated. My experience tells me that it is not what you are given but that how you use it that determines who you are.

Dear_Tom，
Last_Friday,_I_took_part_in_the_Coming-of-Age_ceremony_in_our_school,_which_was_quite_a_meaningful_occasion_in_my_life.
Formally dressed, we gathered at the school auditorium at 2 p．m., waiting for the great moment to come. On the stage sat our beloved teachers and some parents.
At the beginning, our president and a parent delivered their congratulations and best wishes to us. We could feel both their love and expectations. Then two students, representing us, expressed our gratitude and determination to take on responsibilities.
The most moving moment came when we were given the letters from parents. Tears rolled down my face as I read, recalling each memorable moment in my life and feeling the everlasting love from my parents.
At the end of the ceremony, we took a vow. All of us promised to try our best, not only for ourselves as adults, but also for our families and our society.
The Coming-of-Age ceremony, for me, is more than a ceremony; it is also a most instructive experience.

Ⅵ. 阅读理解
Generations of children who sat through endless lessons of “chalk and talk” in front of a bossy teacher can take some relief. But the “chalk and talk” method helped them achieve better exam results. Modern classroom techniques may make school days a good deal happier, but contentment(满足) is not the road to success in examinations, according to university researchers.
Their three－year study, monitoring the progress of 2,000 teenagers, tried to measure the influence of the “boredom factor” in 17 selected schools in the north of England. The researchers also found that the old-fashioned approach(方法) of teachers ordering pupils about is still alive and producing results. Their conclusions were welcomed yesterday by educationists who were worried by the shift to less formal lessons.
The pupils in the latest study were asked to award teachers marks to measure how frequently they followed or ignored today's fashion for “child-centred” education. A five－point scale was given to spot the teachers who always told them what they should know and what to write down. “It was significant and not anything you would get by chance or accident. Certainly, when you compare the pupil's interest and attitude to school, there is a quite definite and highly significant difference，” one of the researchers said. But the rankings were turned upside down when the team of four researchers looked at how the children did in examination. The sort of methods now frowned upon(不赞同) actually improve the final grades.
The researchers said, “There is nothing wrong with old－fashioned, didactic(说教性的) teaching in the right place, even if it isn't the flavor at the moment.”However, he insisted the best teachers had always mixed the two techniques to match the needs of pupils, although certain examinations forced some to concentrate more on dictation and learning by rote(死记硬背)．
1．University researchers have discovered that ________.
A. modern teaching methods provide students with entertainment
B. students taught by modern techniques are happy and successful
C. traditional teaching methods help students score higher
D. students like old teaching better than modern teaching at school
答案与解析：C 细节理解题。由第二句“But ‘the chalk and talk' method helped them achieve better exam results.”可知正确答案是C。
2．From Paragraph 3 we can infer that ________.
A. child－centred education promotes friendship among children
B. the research findings are not significant enough for a conclusion
C. those who show greater interest in school did better in exams
D. those who don't show much interest in school may turn out to score higher in tests
答案与解析：D 推理判断题。第三段后三句话指出兴趣和成绩不成正比，态度决定成绩。所以得出，态度端正可以使一个学生在考试中取得的成绩更好一些。
3．The researchers suggest that ________.
A. more old methods be used in teaching
B. students be taught how to score high in exams
C. dictation be used as one of the best teaching methods
D. old and new methods be used together
答案与解析：D 细节理解题。由最后一段的最后一句可知选D。
4．The best title for this text would be ________.
A. The Examination-based Teaching
B. Rote Learning Was the Winner
C. The Problem of Child-centred Education
D. The Problem of the traditional Method
答案与解析：B 主旨大意题。根据首尾段可知。
Ⅶ. 语法填空

M: Oh, sorry. __2__ can I smoke on this floor?

M: You're right! Thanks very much. I'll try again __9__ (kick) my smoking habit.
W: That's good. Well, if you __10__ (die) to smoke now, you can go outside, in the open air.
M: Oh, no! I'm not smoking anymore from now on!
W: That's great!
答案与解析：
1．smoking 考查固定搭配。No smoking禁止吸烟。
2．Where 考查特殊疑问句。由下一句的回答可知此处是问“哪里”可以吸烟。
3．if 考查宾语从句。句意为：我想知道是否我能喝一杯水。I wonder if我想是否可以……？
4．a 考查冠词。不定冠词a表泛指，意思是“数量一”。 a glass of water 一杯水。
5．yourself 考查反身代词。help oneself请自便。
6．for 考查介词搭配。句中be good for sth./sb. 对某人或某事有好处。
7．failed 考查动词的时态。由前一句中动词tried可知，事情已经发生用过去时态。
8．However 考查连接词。句意为：是的，很难戒掉，但是如果你心中想着不抽烟的人的健康的话，那么你会徐会成功。根据前后两句的转折关系，且句首有逗号可知用However。
9．to kick 考查非谓语动词。非谓语动词to do作try的宾语。Try to do sth.表示“尽力做某事”。
10．are dying 考查动词的时态。现在进行时表示一种趋势。动词短语be dying to do sth.“极想做某事”

Ⅵ.阅读理解
A
Like many people you may be dreaming of a career as a rock and roll star. There are two ways to go about getting one. First there is the traditional way. Find some friends and form a group. Learn to play the guitar or the drums. Write your own songs. Spend hours arguing about the band name. Then go on the road.
The next step is to spend a year or two touring. If you are any good, the crowds will get bigger. In the end an artist from a record company may come to a show. If he or she likes you, there may be a deal. This is the route traditionally followed by bands in the music industry. Success means fame and wealth. And failure gives you some interesting stories to tell your children.
Over the last few years a different path to success has become known. Boy bands like Boyzone and girl bands like the Spice Girls don't come together on their own. They are created by managers and record companies. Their image is strictly controlled. Professional song writers usually write their music. This is a convenient arrangement and the public seems to love the result.
Though boy and girl bands have become very popular recently, there is a long tradition of making music in this way. In the early 1960's an American businessman called Berry Gordy founded Motown Records. Motown is short for “motor town”. The record company was based in the city of Detroit, where thousands of African-Americans had moved to work in the car industry. They brought with them a cultural tradition of writing and performing music. This style later became known as “soul-music”. Berry Gordy was a diamond miner. He took raw talent from the street and polished it until it shone. Motown stars were not just given songs to sing. They were also taught how to dress well and speak properly.
1．In the first paragraph the writer seems to tell us ________.
A. to form a band is very hard
B. the name of the band is very important
C. newly-built bands can only perform by road
D. to form a band is very simple
答案与解析：D 推理判断题。依据第一、二段中“First...” “The next step...”可看出组成一个乐队非常简单。
2．If a newborn band wants to succeed, as the writer tells, it must have the chance ________.
A. to travel in big cities
B. to perform before an artist
C. to make an agreement with a record company
D. to experience failure again and again
答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In the end an artist from a record company may come to a show. If he or she likes you, there may be a deal.”可知C项正确。
3．From the fourth paragraph, we can conclude that ________.
A. Motown was only enjoyed by the workers in Detroit
B. Motown showed the style of the black Americans
C. Detroit used to be famous for its music industry
D. Detroit was found by African-Americans
答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据该段中“...where thousands of African-Americans had moved to work in the car industry.”可知B项正确。
4．From the passage, we can learn that Motown stars ________.
A. used to be miners
B. used to dress poorly
C. became perfect little by little
D. came from Berry Gordy's hometown
答案与解析：C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“He took raw talent from the street and polished it until it shone.”可知C项是最佳选项。

The Blues
The blues was born on the Mississippi River Delta in the early 1900s. After the Civil War, the slaves were free but life was still not easy. They had to find new work. In the South, work camps were formed. Black people from these camps worked on farms and on building up the Mississippi River banks. During the week, the people worked long and hard. They often lived alone, without their families, far from home. On the weekend, the workers got together at picnics or drinking places. Travelling black musicians with guitars entertained them. The musicians sang songs about the difficult life of the workers. These songs were called the blues.
If you have the blues, it means you feel very sad. But blues songs were not always sad. Some of them were happy and many of them were funny.
Early blues singers often had very interesting names like Blind Lemon, Jefferson and Howlin Wolf. Sometimes, the blues singers had song contests. Each singer sang new words or a new style of the blues song. They made up the music as they played. In this way they created new music. That is called improvisation(即兴表演). Later, improvisation became a very important part of jazz music.
Blues began in the country in the South. As black people moved into the big cities to work, the blues went with them. There, they sang about life in the cities. W. C. Handy, a black band leader from Memphis made the blues popular all over America. In 1914 he wrote the most famous blues song of all—The St. Louis Blues.
5．This passage is mainly concerned with ________.
A. the birth of American country music
B. the birth of jazz music

Ⅳ.阅读理解
A
Like many people you may be dreaming of a career as a rock and roll star. There are two ways to go about getting one. First there is the traditional way. Find some friends and form a group. Learn to play the guitar or the drums. Write your own songs. Spend hours arguing about the band name. Then go on the road.
The next step is to spend a year or two touring. If you are any good, the crowds will get bigger. In the end an artist from a record company may come to a show. If he or she likes you，there may be a deal. This is the route traditionally followed by bands in the music industry. Success means fame and wealth. And failure gives you some interesting stories to tell your children.
Over the last few years a different path to success has become known. Boy bands like Boyzone and girl bands like the Spice Girls don't come together on their own. They are created by managers and record companies. Their image is strictly controlled. Professional song writers usually write their music. This is a convenient arrangement and the public seems to love the result.
Though boy and girl bands have become very popular recently, there is a long tradition of making music in this way. In the early 1960's an American businessman called Berry Gordy founded Motown Records. Motown is short for “motor town”. The record company was based in the city of Detroit, where thousands of African－Americans had moved to work in the car industry. They brought with them a cultural tradition of writing and performing music. This style later became known as “soul－music”. Berry Gordy was a diamond miner. He took raw talent from the street and polished it until it shone. Motown stars were not just given songs to sing. They were also taught how to dress well and speak properly.

The Blues
The blues was born on the Mississippi River Delta in the early 1900s. After the Civil War, the slaves were free but life was still not easy. They had to find new work. In the South，work camps were formed. Black people from these camps worked on farms and on building up the Mississippi River banks. During the week, the people worked long and hard. They often lived alone, without their families，far from home. On the weekend, the workers got together at picnics or drinking places. Travelling black musicians with guitars entertained them. The musicians sang songs about the difficult life of the workers. These songs were called the blues.
If you have the blues, it means you feel very sad. But blues songs were not always sad. Some of them were happy and many of them were funny.
Early blues singers often had very interesting names like Blind Lemon，Jefferson and Howlin Wolf. Sometimes, the blues singers had song contests. Each singer sang new words or a new style of the blues song. They made up the music as they played. In this way they created new music. That is called improvisation (即兴表演). Later，improvisation became a very important part of jazz music.
Blues began in the country in the South. As black people moved into the big cities to work, the blues went with them. There，they sang about life in the cities. W. C. Handy, a black band leader from Memphis made the blues popular all over America. In 1914 he wrote the most famous blues song of all—The St. Louis Blues.
