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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Most children have ever heard their parents yell “sit up straight!” or “don’t hang your head !” when they eat dinner. Nowadays, it is also heard around another activity — video games. Ten-year-old Owaish admits it takes him three to four hours a day to play games on his tablet computer. In addition, he plays for about two hours on the smart phone every day. As a result, he started suffering a serious pain in the neck around June or July. What’s worse the pain has spread to the hand and back gradually, which makes his mother Mehzabin become concerned.
The doctors note the number of young children with the chronic pain(慢性病) in their necks, arms and shoulders is on the increase sharp in recent years . They are not aging, they haven’t had an accident, the blood reports are fine, their X-rays are fine, and their MRIs are fine. Facts have proved that the pain is from the poor posture(姿势) while they are playing video games on smart phones or other electronic devices. 19-year –old student Nida feels pain in the finger which holds the weight of her smart phone most of the day. Nida almost uses her smart phone 24/7, which means 24 hours a day, seven days a week, or all the time.
Health experts predict there will be not only physical（身体的）but mental(精神的) problems resulting from the overuse of electronic devices. They encourage people to often take breaks and exercise from using computers, smart phones or other devices. Stand up! Stretch(伸展) the legs, back, shoulders and arms in all the possible directions. That’s the most effective way and maybe the key to solving the problem completely. After all, the medication doesn’t help sometimes.
21.What is Mehzabin worried about?
A. Her son has no table manners.
B. Her son’s physical problems get worse.
C. Her son doesn’t work hard at school.
D. Her son spends much money on games.
22.What do we know about the chronic pain?
A. Using a heavy smart phone will cause it.
B. Adults don’t have the problem.
C. It is caused by the wrong body position
D. Children with it often have other diseases.
23.According to health experts, _______.
A. best treatment for the chronic pain is exercising
B. people must take medicine to cure the chronic pain
C. people should stop using smart phones
D. the chronic pain has nothing to do with one’s mental health
24. What may be the best title for the text?
A. To Play Games Well, Sit Up Straight
B. Too Much Gaming Is A Pain In The Neck
C. How To Avoid The Pain In The Neck
D. How To Be More Fit By Playing Games
B
Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships do not last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding.
Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always trust one another to speak and act honestly.
Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes of course. Instead you have to learn how to share things you enjoy, like your hobbies and your interest. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend.
Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand.
No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty, generosity, and understanding.
25.Some friendships don’t last very long because ____.
A. some people receive friendship but don’t give friendship back
B. they don’t know friendship is something serious
C. those who give others friendship receive friendship from others
D. there are too many people who want to make friends
26.The best title of this passage is _____.
A. Honesty is the Best Policy
B. A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed
C. Three Important Points in Life
D. Three Important Points in Making Friends
27.Which of the following isn’t mentioned in the passage?
A. Always tell your friends the truth.
B. Sharing your mind with your friends is of great value.
C. A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend.
D. Discussing your problems with your friend often helps to solve the problem.
C
We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four. Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests’ coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom.
The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.
Each of the guests made a particular fuss over Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile. They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.
I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big "to do" over the younger one because she’s the one who seems more easily to be hurt. We do it with the best of intentions.
But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshone. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying.
I said, "What are you doing, my dear?"
She turned to me with a sad expression and said, "Mommy, why don’t people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I’m not pretty? Is that why they don’t say nice things about me as much?"
I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel better.
Now, whenever I visit a friend’s home, I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.
28.The underlined expression "make a big ‘to do’ over"(Paragraph 4) means "________".
A. show much concern about
B. have a special effect on
C. list jobs to be done for
D. do good things for
29.The guests praised Kelly for carrying coats upstairs because of her ________.
A. beautiful hair B. pretty clothes
C. lovely smile D. young age
30.Kristen felt sad and cried because ________.
A. the guests gave her more coats to carry
B. she didn’t look as pretty as Kelly
C. the guests praised her sister more than her
D. her mother didn’t introduce her to the guests
31.We can conclude from the passage that ________.
A. parents should pay more attention to the elder children
B. the younger children are usually more easily hurt
C. people usually like the younger children more
D. adults should treat children equally
D
"Bill, you never miss!" Joe said admiringly. "Unless I'm in a real game," Bill complained. "Then I miss all the time." Joe knew that Bill was right. Bill performed much better when he was having fun with Joe in the school yard than he did when he was playing for the school team in front of a large crowd. "Maybe you just need to practice more," Joe suggested. "But I practice all the time with you!" Bill objected. He shook his head. "I just can't play well when people are watching me." "You play well when I'm watching," Joe pointed out. "That's because I've known you since we were five years old," Bill said with a smile. "I'm just not comfortable playing when other people are around." Joe nodded and understood, but he also had an idea.
The next day Joe and Bill met in the school yard again to practice. After a few minutes, Joe excused himself. "Practice without me," Joe said to his friend. "I'll be back in a minute."
Joe hurried through the school building, gathering together whomever he could find—two students, a math teacher, two secretaries, and a janitor. When Joe explained why he needed them, everyone was happy to help. Joe reminded the group to stay quiet as they all went toward the school's basketball court. As Joe had hoped, Bill was still practicing basketball. He made five baskets in a row without noticing the silent people standing behind him.
"Hey, Bill!" Joe called out finally. Bill turned. A look of surprise came over his face. "I just wanted to show you that you could play well with people watching you," Joe said. "Now you'll have nothing to worry about for the next game!"
32.What would be the best title for the story?
A. Joe Joins the Team
B. Practice Makes Perfect
C. Bill Wins the Big Game
D. Bill's Basketball Problem
33.Which of the following has caused Bill to feel upset?
A. That he plays better in practice than he does during games.
B. That the school yard is not a good place to practice.
C. That Joe watches him too closely when he plays.
D. That his team loses too many games
34.Why does Joe decide to gather a group of people?
A. Because he wants more players for his team
B. Because he wants to help Bill feel less nervous
C. Because he wants to show them his talent
D. Because he wants more people to see the next game
35.What can we infer from the passage?
A. The group have to be quiet because they do not want Bill to know they were there.
B. Bill plays well in front of Joe because he wants to prove to Joe he is a good player.
C. Six people including his basketball coach were watching Bill playing in the end.
D. Bill made five baskets in a row after he saw the group of people behind him.
第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Why Don’t Students Like School?
Most of the teachers I know entered the job because they loved school as children. 36. However, they are understandably discouraged when they find that some of their students don’t like school much, and that they, the teachers, have great difficulty inspiring them. Why is it difficult to make school enjoyable for students?
As a matter of fact , the brain is not designed for thinking. It’s designed to ask you not to have to think, because the brain is actually not very good at thinking. Thinking is slow and unreliable. 37.People like to solve problems, but they do not like to work on problems that cannot be solved. If schoolwork is always just a bit too difficult for a student, it should be no surprise that he doesn’t like school much.38.
What is the nature of being human? 39. Many people would answer that it is our ability to reason that makes us different—birds can fly, fish can swim, and humans can think . (By thinking I mean solving problems, reasoning, reading something complex, or doing any mental work that requires some effort.) Shakespeare thought highly of our cognitive(认知) ability in Hamlet: “What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason!” Some three hundred years later, however, Henry Ford came up with a quite different opinion, “Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is the probable reason why so few people are interested in it.” They both had a point of view. Humans are good at certain types of reasoning, especially compared to other animals, but we hardly often exercise those abilities. 40.Thinking is not only painful, as Ford noted, it’s also slow and unreliable.
A. A cognitive scientist would add another point of view, “Humans don’t think very often because our brains are designed not for thought but for escaping from thought.”
B. What sets us apart from other species?
C. Of course you could make each decision with care and thought.
D. However, people enjoy thinking if it is successful.
E. Therefore, teachers should reconsider how they encourage their students to think, in order to make thinking enjoyable enough for students to go after.
F. If we are all so bad at thinking, how does anyone get through the day?
G. They want to help their students feel the same excitement and passion for learning that they felt.

Nowadays many singers and bands have little to do with good music. They know little about what good music mean. What is the cause? So far most of these singers have see music as a “job” because it is a good source of making money. And if you have good appearance and some expensive clothes to show off at your concerts, then you voice is not so important as it should be. The public will prefer to admire more about the most interested parts of your body and even forgot that you are there to show your music skills, not your dancing, which is important too, but not at such a high level.

Dear Tom,
I’m really glad to hear from you. In my opinion, You’d better try to make some friends at school because you can not only have fun with them but also learn useful social skills from getting along with them. As for how to make friends, I think spending more time with classmates and taking part in some school activities are good ideas. You are supposed to be brave to express yourself. Besides, you should respect and care each other.
I hope my suggestions will be hopeful to you.
Yours
