III. 阅读理解 (共两节；满分30分)
第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项 (共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分)
A
You can see the karst (喀斯特地形) peaks of Guilin in Guangxi province touching the clouds of Chinese ink-brush paintings going back centuries. But most Americans only see them in the movies. Likewise, Guilin mi fen (rice noodles), for which the city is as famous as for its beautiful scenery, was something Americans had probably never heard of before. But now this delicacy has
been brought to the East Village in New York City.
At Yuan, which opened in the East Village in July, the menu is filled with dim sum (点心) and other Chinese dishes. But the rice noodles are what the New Yorkers come for.
When the bowl lands on the table, all that is visible is deep-fried soybeans, pickled long beans, scallion (葱) and cilantro, thin slices of stewed beef and pork belly cut like bacon. The noodles wait below, slippery but still springy. Its base is a soup of pork and beef, simmered (炖) for eight hours. Fermented bean curd gives it a salty taste, tempered by the sweetness of dried luo han guo, a sugar substitute which is native to Guangxi.
In Guilin, the dish is often eaten at bare-bones (极简单的) shops while you sit on tiny stools. Side dishes, such as pickles, are for diners to add as they wish. Soup may also be added. “It’s kind of self-serve,” the owner Mr. Ding said.
Here in New York, the polished wood stools are of comfortable height. The room has concrete floors and on the walls are painted characters from the popular martial arts novels of Jin Yong. Soup is delivered to the table as a side. The diners can pour it into the noodles halfway through the meal.
At Yuan, another hot product is lao you fen, or “old-buddy style” noodles. Stories vary about the origins of this dish from Mr. Ding’s hometown, Nanning, but they boil down to this: A man falls ill and a bowl of rice noodles, made by his old friend, restores him to life!
31. The underlined word “delicacy” in the first paragraph probably means _______________.
A. beautiful scenery B. painting
C. delicious food D. a famous movie
32. Paragraph 3 mainly talks about _______________.
A. the contents (成分) of a bowl of Guilin rice noodles at Yuan
B. how Guilin rice noodles are made
C. the unique taste of Guilin rice noodles
D. why Guilin rice noodles are so delicious
33. This article could probably be found _______________.
A. in a fashion magazine
B. in the advertisement page of a newspaper
C. in the food column of a website
D. in a science report
B
Off the coast of Xiamen in Fujian Province, Kulangsu (also named Gulangyu) is not exactly an average Chinese village. On July 8, it was included in the UNESCO’s World Heritage List (《世界遗产名录》) along with Hoh Xil (可可西里), making China the country with the second most World Heritage Sites in the world with 52.
The island might be small, with just 4,000 households, but it’s home to many a big-name musician; among them are pianist Xu Feiping and violinist Yang Jing. It also has the highest per capita (人均) ownership of pianos in China. Therefore, it is called China’s “Piano Island.”
“Western classical instruments, including pianos, barely existed in China before the end of the mid-1800s,” explains Robin Goldstein, tourism spokesperson for Kulangsu. “Kulangsu, as the home of many diplomats and former officials, became a place where Westerners lived and worked and thus they brought many elements of their culture from Europe. As a result, Kulangsu became one of the first places in China where Western classical music could be played and heard.”
The largest in the world — and the only one in China — the Gulangyu Piano Museum is hard
to miss, thanks to an eye-catching facade (建筑物的正面) that resembles piano keys. Inside, more than 100 gleaming pianos, including a precious gold-plated piano and an antique (古董的) hand piano, provide insight into the island’s musical heritage.
The tiny island is completely free of cars and bikes, aside from the occasional tourist trolley buses. Then there’s the 19th-century European buildings and seaside road. The beaches of Kulangsu might not quite rival the Philippines’, but they’re relatively clean – with white sand and swaying (随风摇摆的) palm trees.
The hilly island seems to be all pretty gardens — that is, until you climb up the 92.7-meter-tall Sunlight Rock, which offers views of the island’s red rooftops and of downtown Xiamen across the strait. “Climbing to its top, past Sunlight Rock temple, is great in the evening because the crowds are thinner, and you can watch the sunset.
34. Why did Kulangsu become one of the first places in China where Western classical music could be heard?
A. Because it is home to many famous musicians.
B. Because most families have pianos here.
C. Because Westerners here brought many elements from Western culture.
D. Because it has a strong music atmosphere.
35. What’s the main idea of the last two paragraphs?
A. Kulangsu is an island completely free of cars and bikes.
B. Kulangsu also offers beautiful scenery.
C. The small island has many cobbled alleys and pretty gardens.
D. The Sunlight Rock is worth visiting in the evening.
36. The author probably wrote this article to ____.
A. tell people that China has the most World Heritage Sites in the world
B. tell us how Kulangsu is included in the UNESCO’s World Heritage List
C. introduce the Gulangyu Piano Museum
D. encourage more people to visit the beautiful island
C
Andrew Ritchie, inventor of the Brompton folding bicycle, once said that the perfect portable (便携的) bike would be “like a magic carpet... You could fold it up and put it into your pocket or handbag.” Then he added: “But you’ll always be limited by the size of the wheels. And so far no one has invented a folding wheel.”
It was a rare – indeed unique — occasion when I was able to put Ritchie right. A 19th-century inventor, William Henry James Grout, did in fact design a folding wheel. His bike, named the Grout Portable, had a frame (车架) that could be divided into two and a larger wheel that could be separated into four pieces. All the bits fitted into Grout’s Wonderful Bag, a leather case.
Grout’s aim: to solve the problems of carrying a bike on a train. Now, doesn’t that sound familiar? Grout intended to find a way of making a bike small enough for train travel. His bike used to be a huge beast. Importantly, the design of early bicycles gave him an advantage: In Grout’s day, tires were solid, which made the business of dividing a wheel into four separate parts relatively simple. You couldn’t do the same with a wheel fitted with a one-piece inflated (充气的) tire.
So, in the 21st century, is the idea of the folding wheel dead? It is not. A British design engineer, Duncan Fitzsimons, has developed a wheel that can be squashed (压扁) into something like a slender ellipse (椭圆). Throughout, the tire remains inflated.
Will Fitzsimons’s folding wheel make it into production? I haven’t the foggiest idea. But his inventiveness shows two things. First, people have been saying for more than a century that bike design has reached its limit, except for gradual advances. It’s as silly a concept now as it was 100 years ago: There’s still plenty to go for. Second, it is in the field of folding bikes that we are seeing the most interesting inventions. You can buy a folding bike for less than ￡1,000 that can be knocked down so small that it can be carried on a plane – minus wheels, of course – as hand baggage.
Folding wheels would make all manner of things possible. Have we yet realized the “magic carpet” of Andrew Ritchie’s imagination? No. But it’s certainly progress.
37. We can infer from the passage that the Brompton folding bike ____.
A. could be carried or moved easily
B. had a folding wheel
C. could be put in a pocket
D. looked like a magic carpet
38. The wheels of the Grout Portable ____.
A. were difficult to separate
B. could be divided into six pieces
C. were fitted with solid tires
D. were hard to carry on a train
39. We can learn that Fitzsimons’s invention ____.
A. kept the tire as a whole piece
B. will be in production soon
C. left little room for improvement
D. changed our views on bike design
40. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Three Folding Bike Inventors.
B. The Making of a Folding Bike.
C. Progress in Folding Bike Design.
D. Ways of Separating a Bike Wheel.
第二节 根据短文内容，从短文中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。(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)
You listen to that one song, and you just can’t stop dancing to the beat. You can’t help but feel happy right away. _____41_____ Neuroscientist (神经系统科学家) Jacob Jolij, from the Netherlands, found the musical formula (配方) that will put any listener in a good mood.
British electronics (电子流行音乐) brand Alba surveyed people in the UK to find out what their favorite feel-good songs are. Jolij used those songs and went on a search to find out what it is about a feel-good song that makes us feel so good. _____42_____
“A ‘feel-good song’ formula is difficult to describe,” said Jolij. “Music appreciation is very personal and depends on the listener’s choice.”
_____43_____ Jolij found that people’s favorite feel-good songs are faster, with an average tempo (拍子) of 140 to 150 beats per minute. Usually, a pop song has only about 118 beats per minute. _____44_____ Most feel-good songs are in the major key (大调) instead of the minor key (小调) . Finally, the lyrics of the song are usually positive. _____45_____
The magical formula is simple. If a song has these three qualities, it’s certain to put a smile on your face right away.
A. But he questioned whether he could even figure it out.
B. The more often the lyrics mention something happy, the more feel-good it is.
C. He also found that it depends on what key the song is in.
D. We all know the feeling of finding just the right song for a special moment.
E. But he found three qualities that usually create the best feel-good songs.
F. Even without lyrics, music can cause strong feelings.
G. Most people have experienced this, but no one knew exactly why it happened, until now.

In the 1830s, William Procter and James Gamble started a small factory in Cincinnati, in which candles and pieces of soap ___46___ (produce). However, the market for candles suddenly fell as a result of Thomas Edison’s ___47___ (invent) of the electric light. The situation appeared to be hopeless for Mr. Procter and Mr. Gamble, ___48___ an accident saved their company.
One day in 1879, a forgetful worker forgot ___49___ (stop) his machine when he went to lunch. A lot of air made its way into the mixture. Instead of ___50___ (throw) away the mixture, he made it into soap. The soap was cut, packed and shipped. Filled with air bubbles (气泡), the new soap was ___51___ (light) than water. ___52___ (nature), it floated. The soap was given the name “Ivory Soap”.
To ___53___ (they) surprise, Mr. Procter and Mr. Gamble received lots of letters ___54___ the buyers for that “accidental” soap. They wanted more of ___55___ soap, which floated!
You may wonder why that product was so popular. In Cincinnati, many people bathed in the Ohio River and the floating soap would never get lost. Ivory Soap became a best selling thing because of the worker’s mistake.

Recently a heated discussion was holding in our English class about face-to-face communication and online communication.
Some students think people can express them more easily in a face-to-face situation. It’s impossible of people to fail understand each other’s messages. And a closer friendship was often developed when people communicate in the person. So others strongly believe communication on the Internet is a faster way. Besides, people usually feel relaxing and express their feelings more freely when they don’t see the other person’s face.
In my opinions, we can choose our own way, that is suitable for us.

How are you getting along these days? It has been one week since you asked for leave because of your bad cold. We are all concerned about you. Here are some suggestions which can help you get better.
First, it’s essential for you to drink lots of water and have a good rest. Whenever I catch a
