Ⅵ. Reading comprehension （阅读理解）
A. Choose the best answer （根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案）
Fifty years ago I had a young family of three boys. My husband Johnny and I left them with a friend while we
made a trip to the cinema.
It was dark and was raining hard. With the headlights shining on the road, we saw something ahead of us. Johnny
pulled to a stop and I came out, ran to the grass and grabbed a small, wet, frightened creature. It was freezing cold
and so tiny that it fit into the palm of my hand but I still wasn’t sure what it was. It stayed close to me for warmth
and comfort. I wrapped it safely in my woolen hat had suggested that my husband turn back and go home. We thought
it was a baby rabbit because it had long ears, long hind legs and was greyish brown in color. Once home, we filled a
box with old newspaper and a warm towel. We fed it milk and bread and hoped it would survive. We named our new
animal Bobsy. We all loved it at first sight.
Our boys were happy with the little animal and it seemed to enjoy all the attention. Sadly though, on the third
day with us, it caught its back foot in a door and we quickly realized it was broken. We rushed to the vet, who said,
“It’s only a rabbit, I’ll put it to sleep,” Our response was a very decisive, “No way!”
We found another vet and were told that she was a baby hare. We were told we should continue to keep her in
her box for a week and her foot would be fine.
After her recovery, Bobsy learned to use the kitty litter tray. She would comb her long ears with her front paws.
Her favourite treats were chocolate drops and she was so smart that she would help herself to them straight from the
packet. The local paper heard about this and came to our house to take her photo and write a story about her. We had
her for seven wonderful years before we moved to New Zealand and we will never forget her.

B. Choose the best answer and complete the passage （选择最恰当的选项完成短文）
Could you imagine a library where you borrow tools, appliances and sport gear（用具）? As a student, Sabrina
could see the simple solution to a problem -- in order to reduce waste and create a good effect on our environment,
perhaps we should try sharing the things we have.
When she arrived in Brisbane four years ago. Sabrina had nothing with her but a suitcase full of clothes and a
laptop. To start settling in, she asked friends if she could borrow the things she needed. Over time, as she started to
have things of her own, she would __75__ them to her friends in return.
She then came to the conclusion that we don’t need to own every single tool for every single __76__, we just
need to have them:we need a place where we can borrow what we need -- in other words, a library. Sabrina decided
to put her idea into action and so the Brisbane Tool Library was born.
Within two years the tool library has grown to over 225 members and today is run by a team of volunteers,
mostly women, from 13 different nationalities. For a small membership fee, the library offers __77__ from hand and
power tools to sporting and camping gear, and kitchen equipment.
The library now has over 500 items in its storeroom with another 500 waiting to come. These are items that
would otherwise have gone into Landfill when their owners are __78__ them sitting on the shelf -- most are still new.
“It doesn’t need to be like this,” says Sabrina. “It’s not just about reducing waste when things are at the __79__ of
their life cycle. And recycling is not enough. We need to rethink purchasing from the very beginning. We need some
change.”
It’s all part of the rise of the share economy, where phone apps allow __80__ to share rarely - used good with
people who need them. Libraries have been around for centuries offering public use of shared resources.
75. A. lend B. report C. read D. sell
76. A. excuse B. success C. purpose D. secret
77. A. something B. everything C. anything D. nothing
78. A. fond of B. tired of C. surprised at D. afraid of
79. A. start B. top C. rest D. end
80. A. learners B. officers C. users D. designers

C. Fill in the blanks with proper words （在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，

If you have ever had trouble things you should do or would like to do, you have experienced procrastination（拖
延症）. When you procrastinate, instead of working on important meaningful tasks, you find yourself performing


5 / 6

meaningless activities.
If you are a procrastinator, perhaps you spend lots of time watching TV, playing video games, checking
Facebook, eating, cleaning or walking back and forth through the room. Afterwards, you feel powerless and have the
f__81__ of guilt and trouble. Once again, you end up doing nothing. Sound familiar?
L__82__ people don’t do anything and are just fine with it. Procrastinators, however, want to actually do
something but can’t force themselves to s__83__
Another fact about procrastination is that it is d__84__ from relaxation. Relaxing recharges you with energy.
But procrastination makes you not energetic. The less energy you have, the greater the chances of you putting off
your responsibilities, and, once more, you will achieve nothing.
My dad always used to say, “Peter, you need to learn how to give yourself orders.” I would always answer, “I
tell myself what to do, I just don’t listen.”
Most likely, failure of the ability to listen to o__85__ is the main reason. The scientific name of this ability is
self - regulation.
Self-regulation is the ability to actively control your emotions. The more developed this ability is, the more often
you will do what you tell yourself to do. Good news is it is possible to have self-regulation by t__86__. You need to
begin by setting the bar as low as possible. Creating habits isn’t about quantity; it’s about small steps and regular
repetition.
Once you learn a new habit, you can exercise your willpower muscle（肌肉）. As you s__87__ raise the bar,
you willpower will gain strength day by day.
Gradual changes are more pleasant than sudden, great changes. Therefore bigger cussess can be made.

D. Answer the questions （根据以下内容回答问题）
Electives（选修课）are always popular with students because they offer the chance to learn something exciting,
and they’re a welcome break from regular courses like maths and physics. Here are just a few of the exciting electives
lucky teenagers can take in some of China’s middle schools.
? Self-defense skills
A school from Chongqing
The school offers a self - defense course -- just for girls. Those who attend the lessons have the chance to study
basic self-protection skills in a one - on - one practice. They learn how to get away when they need to and defend
themselves against attacks. “I feel safer in myself now,” said Zhang Yi, 15, a girl student.
? Pottery
A school from Tianjin
The famous pottery scene in a movie called Ghost is a lasting memory for many movie - goers. Young artists at
the school love to get their hands dirty creating beautiful pieces. Students learn how to design and make various clay
projects. At the end, they have the skills to make their won clay bowls, cups, vases and pots.
? Horse riding
A school from Beijing
Equestrians（马术）can look pretty cool, can’t they? Teenagers at this school can now choose a course in riding
skills. They’re taught to communicate with their horses and how to use reins. To ride a horse in the proper way, a
student must hold the head forward and keep his back straight. Students come away from this elective not only
knowing how to ride a horse gracefully, but also physically fitter!
? Couplets


6 / 6

A school from Nanjing
How many of you can write a couplet? This old literary（文学的）form is slowly disappearing, but Chinese
culture lovers at the school are trying to make it alive. For their elective, teenagers study old couplets and try to rhyme
（押韵）their own lines. Many of this year’s students can’t wait for the Spring Festival, when they’ll be able to show
off their new skills.
