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 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Christian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease called beri-beri. He was going there to try and find a cure.
At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (细菌) caused beri-beri. He raised some chickens. He didn’t eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his
chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate — refined white rice(精炼米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery — that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins. The Javanese were
not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person’s food.
Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. If they don’t, they can also take vitamin pills.
21.The underlined word “cure” in Paragragh 1 probably means .
A.a medical treatment B.a kind of vitamin
C.a kind of germ D.a kind of rice 22.Why did Christian Eijkman raise some chickens?
A.To eat them. B.To carry out his experiments. C.To give the Javanese a surprise. D.To make money by selling them. 23.We can learn from the passage that .
A.beri-beri was caused by chickens B.the Javanese didn’t like vitamins
C.Christian Eijkman’s experiment was successful
D.the Javanese’s disease was caused by a kind of germ
B
To many web-building spiders, most of whom are nearly blind, the web is their essential window on the world: their means of communicating, capturing prey (猎物), meeting mates and protecting themselves. A web-building spider without its web is like a man cast away on an island of solid rock, totally out of touch and destined to starve to death.
So important is the web to an orb-web spider’s survival that the animal will continue to construct new webs daily even if it is being starved. For 16 days the starving spider builds completely normal webs. Then, as the animal gets scrawnier (憔悴的), it constructs a wider-meshed web using fewer strands (线). Such webs would only trap larger prey, which is more economical from the perspective of a starving spider.
The spider stores energy by recycling web protein. It simply eats its own web each evening and re-uses it to produce new silk. In studies with radioactively labeled materials, it was found that 95 percent of web protein reappears in the next day’s web. Most of the energy needed for web-building is used in walking over the strands as they are laid down. Scientists are impressed by the adaptability of the spider’s highly preprogrammed brain, which is larger for its size than the brain of any other invertebrate (无脊椎动物). If web-building is interrupted, or if some of the existing
strands are destroyed, the spider simply goes back to see where the web is left off and then finished building a normal
web. One spider will even finish building the incomplete web of another. 24.What is probably the best title for the passage?
Secrets of Spiders’ Adaptability
Importance of Webs to Spiders C.Secrets of the Spiders’ Life
D.Spiders’ Highly Preprogrammed Brain.
According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A.Web-building spiders have good eyesight.
One web-building spider usually conducts one web.
Most spiders will stop conducting webs when hungry.
Web-building spiders will probably die without their webs.
26.A spider conducts a wider-meshed web when . A.it is 16 days old
it is getting weaker
it has fewer strands
it hunts for food
27.A spider’s ability to finish an incomplete web proves that . A.it has a highly preprogrammed brain
it reuses its web protein to reproduce new silk
the web is everything for a spider
it is able to rebuild a destroyed web
C

If Confucius (孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.
While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It's nothing personal. Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy (哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese
wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Western philosophy. Students in the United States,at the same time, are
racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United
States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.
So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.
The opening paragraph is mainly intended to . A.provide some key facts about Confucius
attract the readers' interest in the subject
show great respect for the ancient thinker
prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations
We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students . A.have a great interest in studying Chinese
take an active part in Chinese competitions
try to get high scores in Chinese exams
fight for a chance to learn Chinese 34.What is the best title for the passage? A.Forgotten Wisdom in America B.Huge Fans of the Chinese Language
C.Chinese Culture for Westerners
D.Old Thinker with a Big Future
35.The passage is likely to appear in .
A.a biography B.a history paper
C.a newspaper D.a philosophy textbook

Tips to stay safe and make smart choices
Even if you’re a genius (天才) at school, you still might be lost when it comes to getting from point A to point B.Don’t get caught in a strange place without these basic safety tips.
★Know where you’re going.
Before you set out in an unfamiliar area, go to Google Maps to plan your journey and print it out. 36. Make
sure that the location services are turned on on your phone, just in case you get lost.
★Know where your stuff is.
Never leave your backpack or shopping bags out of your sight. Carry your wallet in your front pocket or keep it close to your body. 37. A fun day out can turn into the worst headache ever if you realize you’ve left something behind.
★38.
If you have the choice between a busy street and a deserted one, always pick the busy one. You are more likely to be attacked on dark, empty sidewalks than on ones with a crowd.
★Travel in packs.
Don’t go anywhere — especially an unfamiliar place — without a friend or two. 39.
★Don’t let your music drown you out.

I am sorry to say that I cannot go to the art exhibition in the Art Museum on Saturday morning as I promised. I am writing to express my sincere apology to you.
The reason why I will not be available is that my aunt is coming from Australia on Saturday morning. So my family are going to the airport to meet her, and then we will have a family dinner together. I think we can enjoy the exhibition on Sunday afternoon if it is convenient for you.
I'm looking forward to your early reply. Yours,
