第二部分
阅读理解(共两节,15小题,满分35分)
第一节.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
Once
upon
a
time,
a
daughter
complained
to
her
father
that
her
life
was
unhappy
and
that
she
was
tired
of
struggling
all
the
time.
Her
father,
a
chef,
took
her
to
the
kitchen.
He
filled
three
pots
with
water
and
placed
each
on
a
high
fire.
Once
the
three
pots
began
to
boil,
he
placed
potatoes,
eggs
and
coffee
beans
in
them.
After
20
minutes,
he
took
them
out,
putting
the
potatoes
and
eggs
in
a
bowl
and
the
coffee
in
a
cup.
Turning
to
his
daughter,
he
said,
“Look
closer,
and
touch
the
potatoes.”
She
did
and
noted
that
they
were
soft.
He
then
asked
her
to
take
an
egg
and
break
it.
After
pulling
off
the
shell,
she
observed
the
hard-boiled
egg.
Finally,
he
asked
her
to
taste
the
coffee.
Its
good
smell
brought
a
smile
to
her
face.
“Father,
what
does
this
mean ”
she
asked.
He
then
explained
that
the
potatoes,
the
eggs
and
the
coffee
beans
were
in
the
same
adversity(逆境)——the
boiling
water.
However,
each
one
reacted
differently.
The
strong
and
hard
potato
became
soft
and
weak
in
boiling
water.
The
egg
was
fragile,
with
the
thin
outer
shell
protecting
its
liquid
until
it
was
put
in
the
boiling
water.
Then
the
inside
of
the
egg
became
hard.
However,
the
coffee
beans
were
unique.
After
they
were
exposed
to
the
boiling
water,
they
changed
the
water
and
created
something
new.
“Which
one
do
you
want
to
be
like,”
he
asked.
“When
adversity
knocks
on
your
door,
how
will
you
respond ”
In
life,
challenges
happen
to
us
all,
but
the
only
thing
that
truly
matters
is
what
happens
within
us.
21.
Why
did
the
girl
complain
to
her
father
A.
Because
of
her
hard
life.
B.
Because
of
her
tiring
job.
C.
Because
of
her
father’s
busy
work.
D.
Because
of
the
food
her
father
cooked.
22.
What
can
we
infer
from
this
story
A.
The
girl
liked
the
coffee
best.
B.
The
father
was
good
at
cooking.
C.
The
girl
didn’t
like
the
potatoes
and
eggs.
D.
Different
people
have
different
reactions
to
adversity.
23.
What
does
the
underlined
word
“fragile”
mean
in
the
4th
paragraph
A.
thick
B.
easily-broken
C.
strong
D.
hard
B
The
human
brain
remembers
negative
experiences
more
easily
than
positive
ones.
Our
brains
have
developed
in
this
way
because
threats,
like
dangerous
animals,
have
a
more
immediate
effect
on
people’s
survival
compared
to
positive
things
like
food
or
shelter.
As
a
result,
you
clearly
know
what
makes
you
unhappy,
but
do
you
know
what
makes
you
happy
Research
suggests
that
our
level
of
happiness
is
partly
shaped
by
the
choices
we
make.
If
you’ve
been
chasing
wealth,
fame,
power
and
some
material
things,
you
may
be
looking
for
happiness
in
the
wrong
places.
Psychologists
suggest
that
the
following
habits
can
make
people
happier.
People
who
own
close
relationships
tend
to
be
happier
than
those
who
do
not.
The
number
of
our
friends
is
not
important.
What
matters
is
the
quality
of
our
relationships.
Relationships
that
bring
happiness
usually
consist
of
the
sharing
of
feelings,
acceptance,
mutual
(双方的)
respect
and
trust.
People
who
exercise
regularly
can
improve
both
their
physical
and
mental
well-being.
Some
research
has
shown
that
exercise
can
be
as
effective
as
some
medicine
in
treating
depression.
If
we
are
so
interested
in
an
activity,
we
may
lose
track
of
time,
and
we
can
be
in
a
state
of
flow.
The
activity
could
be
playing
the
piano,
surfing
the
Internet
or
playing
a
game…
People
who
experience
flow
in
their
work
or
life
tend
to
be
happier.
People
are
more
likely
to
be
happy
if
they
know
what
their
strengths
are
and
can
use
them
regularly.
People
are
especially
happy
when
they
can
set
goals
and
use
their
strengths
to
achieve
them.
People,
who
think
positively
by
being
grateful,
mindful
and
optimistic,
are
more
likely
to
be
happy.
Being
grateful
means
being
thankful.
Being
mindful
means
considering,
focusing
on,
and
enjoying
the
experiences
of
the
present
moment.
Being
optimistic
means
being
hopeful
about
the
future.
24.
Human
brains
remember
negative
things
more
easily
because
negative
things____
.
A.
tend
to
affect
human
survival
immediately
B.
are
much
more
important
than
other
things
C.
can
make
people
live
much
happier

are
easy
to
remember

tell
us

people
remember

things
easily.
B.
Why
people
remember
negative
things

C
American
English
began
in
the
17th
century.
At
the
beginning
of
the
17th
century,
the
English
language
was
brought
to
North
America
by
colonists
(殖民者)
from
England.
They
used
the
language
spoken
in
England,
that
is,
Elizabethan
English,
the
language
used
by
Shakespeare.
In
order
to
exploit
(开发)
new
resources
in
America,
British
colonists
settled
down
there
and
from
1607
to
1732
set
up
thirteen
colonies.
In
these
thirteen
areas,
English
was
a
common
language
used
by
all
people.
They
continued
to
speak
as
they
had
done
in
England.
As
time
went
by,
the
English
language
gradually
changed
on
both
sides
of
the
Atlantic
Ocean.
Foreigners
longing
for
wealth
set
foot
on
the
coastal
area
to
trade.
The
Americans
adopted
many
words
from
foreign
languages
and
invented
lots
of
new
words
to
meet
their
commercial
(贸易的)
needs.
Following
American
Independence,
famous
people
like
Thomas
Jefferson,
the
president,
began
to
consider
that
the
country
should
have
a
language
of
its
own.
Noah
Webster
compiled
(编纂)
three
elementary
books
on
English.
Later,
he
expressed
the
idea
that
as
an
independent
nation,
America
should
have
a
system
of
its
own
in
language
as
well
as
in
government.
After
the
second
half
of
the
19th
century,
many
great
writers
such
as
Mark
Twain
helped
the
development
of
American
English.
English
in
America
has
developed
a
character
of
its
own,
showing
the
life
and
the
physical
and
social
environment
of
the
American
people.
Since
the
rise
of
the
United
States
to
a
position
of
world
importance,
American
English
has
been
developing
and
changing.
There
is
no
doubt
that
American
English
will
enrich
the
English
language
greatly.
With
the
rapid
development
of
modern
mass
media
and
the
common
needs
of
economic,
cultural
and
political
exchanges,
American
English
will
be
more
widely
used
in
the
world
than
British
English.
28.
What
can
we
infer
from
paragraph
3
A.
People
from
the
seaside
were
more
willing
to
learn
English.
B.
The
English
language
changed
as
a
result
of
inner
culture
shock.
C.
New
words
occurred
in
American
English
as
a
result
of
local
invention.
D.
International
business
contributed
to
the
development
of
American
English.
29.
What
do
we
know
about
American
English
according
to
the
passage
A.
It
came
into
being
at
the
end
of
the
17th
century.
B.
It
hardly
makes
contributions
to
the
development
of
English.
C.
Its
development
has
a
close
relationship
with
American
people’s
life.
D.
It
has
been
more
widely
used
than
British
English
from
the
beginning.
30.
What’s
the
best
title
for
the
passage
A.
The
Difference
between
American
English
and
British
English.
B.
The

of

English.

of

Characteristics
of
an
excellent
scientist
The
Free
Dictionary
defines
(定义)
a
scientist
as
a
person
having
professional
knowledge
on
one
or
more
sciences,
especially
natural
science
or
physical
science.
___31___.
Let’s
look
at
some
characteristics
of
an
excellent
scientist.
Curiosity.
___32___.
Scientists
such
as
Thomas
Edison
and
George
Westinghouse
discovered
things
mainly
because
they
wanted
to
know
how
things
work.
If
a
scientist
doesn’t
have
the
drive
to
ask
questions
or
even
wonder,
then
he/she
never
gets
to
the
first
stage
of
the
scientific
process.
Patience.
___33___.
There
are
very
few
jobs
that
take
longer
than
this
one.
Even
if
you
think
you
have
received
some
education
on
science,
you
still
have
a
lot
of
scientific
research
to
do.
If
you’re
an
instant-gratification
(及时满足的)
type
of
person,
this
may
not
be
the
best
choice
for
you.
Ethical
(道德的)
qualities.
In
order
to
truly
discover
and
use
knowledge
for
the
greater
good,
a
scientist
must
have
a
desire
to
improve
people’s
life
as
well
as
the
environment
and
living
things,
since
they
are
all
linked
and
they
can
affect
one
another
in
the
long
run.
A
scientist
must
report
findings
honestly
regardless
of
personal
or
outside
commercial
(商业的)
interests.
Sticking
to
an
old
belief
contradicted
(反驳)
by
evidence
is
dishonest.
___34___.
Working
habits.
An
excellent
scientist
even
takes
notes
of
the
smallest
observation,
keeping
it
in
mind
and
recording
it.
___35___.
He/She
also
needs
to
communicate
thoughts
on
paper
and
verbally.
Networking
skills
connect
him/her
with
colleagues
working
on
similar
projects
where
he/she
may
discover
something
new.
A.
Becoming
a
scientist
takes
a
long
time.
B.
An
excellent
scientist
must
be
very
curious
about
things.
C.
It
also
defines
a
scientist
as
someone
who
uses
scientific
methods.
D.
However,
that
belief
shouldn’t
be
changed
without
powerful
evidence.
E.
He/She
can
work
well
alone
or
in
groups,
depending
on
what’s
needed.
F.
To
make
discoveries
in
human
knowledge,
you
have
to
think
differently.
G.
One
of
the
main
places
that
many
scientists
work
in
is
the
research
laboratory.

gold
glittering
in
the
lake.
He
was
so
happy
that
he
jumped
into
the
___36___to
look
for
it.
But
he
couldn’t
___37___it

Being
wet,

he
had
to
go
ashore
(上岸)
for

Unexpectedly,
after
the
water

___39___,
the
gold
appeared

He
thought,
“Where
is
the
gold
coin
in

water

earth
I
have
seen
it
___42___,
but
how
come
it
is
that
all
the
attempts
were
made
without
any
success ”
Driven
by
the
___43___to
get
the
gold,
he
searched
the
water
again
and
again,
but
___44___,
which
made
him
really
unwilling
to
___45___
.
At
that
moment,
his
father
came
to

Seeing
his
son
wet
and
dirty,
he
asked,
“What

son
answered,
“I
see
a
piece
of
gold
coin
in
the
water
clearly,
but
I
can’t
get
it___49___!”
His
father
looked
into
the
water
and
it
seemed
that
a
gold
coin
was
on
the
peaceful
water.
Then
he
looked
up
at
the
tree
nearby
and
said
to
his
son,
“You
are
___50___.
Look!
It’s
not

the
reflection
of
the
metal
___51___on
the

Ordinary
people
are
always
busy
___52___illusory

things
and
all
these
just
result

So
we
should
choose
the
right

live

.In
1945,
a
12-year-old
boy
saw
a
beautiful brooch(胸针)
in
a
shop
window
that
set
his
heart
racing.
But
the
price-five
dollars-was
too
high
for Reuben Earle. Five
dollars
would
buy
almost
a
week's
food
for
his
family.
Reuben
couldn't
ask
his
father
for
the
money.
Everything
his
father
made
through
fishing
went
to
his
mother, Dora.
Slim
and
beautiful,
she
was the
center
of
the
home,
the
glue
that
held
it
together.
The
housework
was
never-ending,
and
she
struggled
to
support
their
five
children
but
she was happy as
her
family
and
their
well-being
were
all
she
cared
about.
Nevertheless,
he
opened
the
shop's
weathered
(风化的)door
and
went
inside,
Standing
proud
and
straight
in
his
flour-sack(面粉袋改做的)
shirt and
washed-out
trousers,
he
told
the
shopkeeper
what
he
wanted,
adding,
"But
I
don't
have
the
money
right
now.
Can
you
please
hold
it
for
some time
"I'll
try," the
shopkeeper smiled.
"People
around
here
don't
usually
have
that
kind
of
money
to
spend
on
things.
It
should
keep
for
a
while."
Reuben
respectfully
touched
his
worn
cap
and
walked
out.
He
would raise
the
money and
not
tell
anybody,
for
he
thought
Mum
would
get
surprised
when
she
saw
that
brooch.
On
hearing
the
sound
of
hammering from
a
side
street,
Reuben
suddenly
had
an
idea
that
he
could
raise
money
by
selling
the
used
nail
bags(装钉子的麻袋).
People
built
their
own
buildings
in
Bay Roberts,
using
nails
bought
in
bags
from
a
local
factory.
Sometimes
the
used
nail
bags
were
thrown
away
at
the construction
site,
and
Reuben
knew he
could
sell
them
back
to
the
factory
for
five
cents
a
piece.
That
day
he
sold
two
nail
bags
and
hid
the
money
in
a
rusty soda
tin.

Recently,
our
school
organized
an
activity
“Civilized
Manners
in
Our
School”.
All
the
teachers
and
students
were
required
to
attend.
Many
civilized
phenomena
have
emerged
in
the
activity.
For
example,
made
no
noise
in
public;
did
not
litter
anywhere
in
order
to
keep
our
campus
clean;
did
not
waste
water,
electricity
or
food.
The
students
were
friendly
and
helpful
to
each
other.
They
had
lots
of
energy
in
class.
Students
loved
flowers,
grass
and
trees
so
that
everyone
could
enjoy
the
greenness.
With
the
help
of
students,
we
believe
our
school
will
become
more
and
more
beautiful
and
peaceful.

Paragraph
1:
Every
day
after
school,
Reuben
started
his
plan. Cold
and
hungry,Reuben wandered
the
streets,
searching
for
the nail
bags carefully.
To
save
more
money,
he
even
decided
to
deliver
papers
in
the
early
morning.
Exhausted
and
tired
as
he
felt,
he
still
stuck
to
the
plan.
It was
the brooch in
the
shop
window
that
reminded
him
that
what
he
did
was
worthwhile.
After
a
long
time
of
hard
work,
he
made
it
eventually.
Paragraph
2:
Finally
the
time
came! He
took
out
the soda
tin,
poured
the
coins
out
and
began
to
count. Five
dollars!
His
hard
work
paid
off! Holding
the
soda
tin
firmly,
Reuben
rushed
for
the
shop
to
buy
the
brooch.
The
moment
he
got
the
beautiful
brooch,
he
burst
through
the
front door
and
placed
it
in
Dora's
hand.
Never
had
Dora
received
such
a
gift.
Speechless
and happy,
she
held
her
son
tightly
into
her
arms,
with
tears welling
up
in
her
eyes.
