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
Cities all over the world celebrate Christmas in unique and memorable ways. The following international destinations are just a few of the countless choices to consider.
Quebec city
Quebec city has long drawn admirers to its historic district—the famed city wall, strange cobblestone lanes （鹅卵石小路）and handsome stone houses. This area transforms into a scenic Christmas village each December. The 403-year-old capital of Quebec province takes pride in the outdoors at Christmas time, when stone buildings shine with lights. Consider cross-country ski on the Plains of Abraham, or skate at the place d'Youville square.
Edinburgh
Edinburgh, a magic city full of staircases and hills as well as Georgian and neo-Classical buildings, is famous for its mixture of the modern and the old. This is evident in winter, when Scotland's capital puts on a six-week festival lasting until Jan. 6 that goes way beyond Christmas markets. You can ride roller coasters, climb a wall of ice and attend a vivid Christmas- themed show by the cabaret troupe（剧团）La Clique.
Zurich
If buying gifts is on your travel schedule, Zurich is an impressive shopping center, particularly around the holidays, from multiple Christmas markets and the luxury （奢侈品）dress shops of Bahnhofstrasse Street, to the independent designers and antique shops in the emerging industrial zones. Another annual lighting spectacle（壮观场面），Lichterschwimmen, on Dec. 21, includes hundreds of tiny lanterns that are sent floating down the River Limmat.
Sydney
A lack of snow does not dampen the Christmas spirit in Sydney. One great and free way to feel the holiday is to take this Dec. 21 walking tour of George Street, which promises “the most sharable window displays and coloured lights." One advantage over other destinations: warm, sandy beaches that lie just minutes from downtown, where the natural beauty of Australia's most popular city will be waiting.
21. What can you do in Quebec city during Christmas?
A. Ride roller coasters.
B. Take part in a walking tour.
C. Enjoy cross-country ski.
D. Watch a Christmas-themed show.
22. Where should you go if you want to enjoy a Christmas without snow?
A. Quebec city. B. Edinburgh. C. Zurich. D. Sydney.
23. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A guidebook. B. A diary. C. A novel. D. A research paper.
B
One of the most important things that has happened to me occurred long before I was aware of it. As the story goes, I was three days old and Mom was singing “The Name Game" song to me： "Christine-Bo-Bean-Banana-Fanna-Fo-Feen. ” By day four, I was given a new name—Christine-Bo- Bean, or just Bo-Bee to my mother. Now, I am Bo to her and close friends.
Why is this nickname（昵称）so important to me? I once read a book with a passage about True Names which explains that when a person's true name is spoken, she has a distinct aura（光环） around her. Although I have been Bo to my mother all my life, I recently discovered that my true name is not on my birth certificate； it's the name that is as unique and memorable as I am.
People usually know me as Christine. They still see me as a quiet, bookish child. They don't know who I am now. My most recent hopes, fears, goals, dreams and opinions escape their notice； it is easier to think of me as I was. In their minds, they have a box labeled “Christine" in which I fit neatly, and as Christine, I was content with the perfect packaging.
Those who call me Bo or Bo-Bee really know me. They remember who I was and realize I have changed. Bo is a tight squeeze in the old “Christine" boxes. The Bo I am is ever-changing, ever- growing and ever-learning.
When I was Christine, I was quiet, and easily scared. I feared groups, meeting new people and sharing my opinions. I was more comfortable with a book than my best friend. As Christine, I thought everyone was better than I was.
As Bo, I still love my books, but I want to discuss them. As Bo, my dream is to live where I can experience new things and meet new people. I dream about being alone on a stage lit by a single spotlight ； I have that confidence now. I am equal to those I once saw as better than me.
A name shouldn't make such a difference, but sometimes, when a person finds his or her True Name, they develop a new shine visible to friends, family and especially themselves.
I can't always be Bo. Sometimes exposing myself is still scary and I feel too nervous； I want to hide in those old boxes. Mostly, however, I am ready for the world. So, just call me Bo.
24. When was the author given a nickname?
A. When she was three years old.
B. On the fourth day after she was born.
C. Seven days after she was born.
D. When she received the old “Christine" box.
25. What do the people know about the author as Christine?
A. They think the author is active and crazy.
B. They care about the author's most recent feelings.
C. They don't realize the author has changed.
D. They don't know the author has changed her name.
26. What kind of person was the author in the past?
A. She showed no interest in reading.
B. She took pleasure in finding new things.
C. She loved reading and sharing books with friends.
D. She lacked confidence and preferred to be alone.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Bo—the True Name
B. A Unique Name
C. Remember the Past
D. The Meaning of Nickname
C
We've known that sitting for long periods of time every day has countless health consequences, like a higher risk of heart disease. But now a new study has found that sitting is also bad for your brain.
A study published last week, conducted by Dr. Prabha Siddarth at the University of California, showed that sedentary（久坐的）behavior is associated with reduced thickness of the medial temporal lobe（中颞叶），a brain area that is critical to learning and memory.
The researchers asked a group of 35 healthy people, ages 45 to 70, about their activity levels and the average number of hours each day spent sitting and then scanned their brains. They found that the subjects who reported sitting for longer periods had the thinnest medial temporal lobes. It means that the more time you spend in a chair the worse it is for your brain health, resulting in possible damage to learning and memory.
What is also interesting is that this study did not find a significant association between the level of physical activity and thickness of this brain area, suggesting that exercise, even severe exercise, may not be enough to protect you from the harmful effects of sitting.
It then surprisingly turned out that you don't even have to move much to enhance cognition（认 知）； just standing will do the trick. For example, two groups of subjects were asked to complete a test while either sitting or standing. Participants are presented with conflicting stimuli（朿激），like the word “green" in blue ink, and asked to name the color. Subjects thinking on their feet beat those who sat by a 32-millisecond margin.
The cognitive effects of severe physical exercise are well known. But the possibility that standing more and sitting less improves brain health could lower the bar for everyone.
I know, this all runs counter to received ideas about deep thought, from our grade school teachers, who told us to sit down and focus, to Rodin's famous “Thinker,” seated with chin on hand.
They were wrong. You can now all stand up.
28. What can we infer from Paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. Severe exercise can lessen the damage of sitting.
B. Severe exercise can greatly improve our brain health.
C. Sedentary behavior will possibly damage our brain.
D. Brain health has nothing to do with sedentary behavior.
29. What does the underlined word “margin" in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. blank. B. edge. C. decrease. D. difference.
30. What is the received idea about deep thought?
A. Sitting more is good for our mental health.
B. Sitting is better when we think.
C. Exercise more can improve our cognition.
D. We should stand while thinking.
31. The passage mainly tells us .
A. people tend to sit while thinking
B. standing more can make our brain healthier
C. physical exercise can improve our brain health
D. sedentary behavior leads to countless health problems
D
If you've spent any amount of time boating, fishing, or bird-watching at lakes and rivers, you have most likely seen fishes jumping out of the water. I have seen it many times. Certainly, fishes will exit water in desperate attempts to escape enemies. Dolphins take advantage of the behavior, forming a circle and catching the frightened fishes in midair. But just as we may run fast from fun or from fear, different emotions might motivate fishes to jump.
Mobula rays（蝠鲼）aren't motivated by fear when they throw their impressive bodies—up to a seventeen-foot wingspan （the distance from the end of one wing to the end of the other） and a ton in weight—skyward in leaps（跳跃）of up to ten feet. They do it in schools（鱼群）of hundreds. They usually land on their bellies, but sometimes they land on their backs. Some scientists think it might be a way of removing parasites（寄生虫）.But I think that the rays are enjoying themselves.
In the clear waters of Florida's Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge, I watched several schools of fifty or more mullets （fife） moving in beautiful formation. Their well-built bodies were most evident when they leaped from the water. Most of the time I saw one or two leaps by a fish, but one made a series of seven. They usually land on their sides. Each jump was about a foot clear of the water and two to three feet in length.
Nobody knows for sure why the fish leaps. One idea is that they do it to take in oxygen. The idea is supported by the fact that mullets leap more when the water is lower in oxygen, but is challenged by the likelihood that jumping costs more energy than is gained by breathing air. It is hard to imagine they will feel any fresher when back in water.
Might these fishes also be leaping for fun? There is some new evidence. Gordon M. Burghardt recently published accounts of a dozen types of fishes leaping repeatedly, sometimes over floating objects—sticks, plants, sunning turtles—for no clear reason other than entertainment.
32. What can we say about the dolphins in Paragraph 1?
A. They have great escaping skills. B. They are easily frightened.
C. They are very clever. D. They love jumping.
33. What do the ray and the mullet have in common when jumping?
A. Both do it in groups. B. Both land on their bellies.
C. Both jump many feet out of water. D. Both make leaps one after the other.
34. How does the author feel about the idea mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A. It is valuable. B. It is interesting.
C. It is imaginative. D. It is questionable.
35. Which may be the reason for fish leaps according to the author?
A. To remove parasites. B. To amuse themselves.
C. To take in more oxygen. D. To express positive emotions.
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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When you go to a foreign country, you often enter a new culture. The differences between cultures may make you feel stressed and you often find it difficult to adjust to the new surroundings, which is usually called "culture shock".
The psychological and physical symptoms of culture shock may appear depending on the individuals. Some
often feel anxious while adjusting to a new culture—even more so when the cultural distances are wide. 36 They remain so homesick and feel so sad about being separated from their friends back home that they long to return, especially within the first year.
37 People adjusting to a new culture often feel lonely because the language barrier makes it hard to create new relationships. Furthermore, having trouble with the native language often makes them unwilling to interact with other people.
38 You may do some research on the cultural aspects of the new country such as the history, customs, and religious beliefs, rather than on what to see and where to go, so you may get prepared for a culture that is different from yours. Studying the language is also a great way to help bridge the gap between the cultures. 39
A local club provides the perfect environment to get to know people who have a similar focus, so join one so that you can meet some locals and develop new friendships. 40 There are other travelers who have the same experiences in a foreign country. Talk with them, sharing feelings, tips and insight.
A. They may lose appetite and have sleep problems.
B. Still, the most important change is communication.
C. They make a lot of effort to get used to the new surroundings.
D. The more of it is understood, the more of the new culture can be understood.
E. Learning about your future destination is a great way to get over culture shock.
F. Plus, remember that you aren't alone in your struggle to adjust in a new country.
G. Actually, staying in a foreign country helps you to know more of the new culture. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）

The fact 68 whales are on the edge of extinction is alarming us. Some 69 (organize) have begun working hard to save them. The international community has made a strategy against commercial whaling. In my opinion, governments should also make tough laws 70 (protect) whales.

support of my father. A few years late, my father agreed with me. He decided offer me some funds to set up the company. In order to run the company well, I got on the flight down to Switzerland, on where I studied advanced production technology and management styles for three month.
