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，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将
该选顼涂黑．
A
Scientists have claimed a milestone in the drive for new energy——development of the
10
first practical
artificial leaf, an advanced solar cell that imitates the process, called photosynthesis（光合作用）, that green
plants use to make sunlight and water into energy．
"A practical artificial leaf has been a dream of scientists for decades," said Daniel Nocera, who led the
research team．"We believe we have made it．The artificial leaf shows particular promise as an inexpensive
source of electricity for homes of the poor in developing countries．One can imagine villages in India and
Africa soon purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology．"
The leaf is like the shape of a poker card but thinner．Placed in water in a bright sunlight, it could
produce enough electricity to supply a house in a developing country with electricity for a day by splitting
water into hydrogen and oxygen, which are stored in a fuel cell to produce electricity．
The "artificial leaf' is not a new concept．The first artificial leaf was developed more than a decade ago
by John Turner．However, it was unpractical for wider use, as it was composed of rare, expensive metals
and was highly unstable with a lifespan of barely one day．
Nocera’s new leaf overcomes these problems．It is made of inexpensive materials that are widely
available, works under simple conditions and is highly stable．Laboratory studies showed that it could
operate continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activity．
The key to this breakthrough is Nocera's recent discovery of several new powerful, inexpensive
catalysts, which are able to accelerate the chemical reaction under simple conditions．Right now, Nocera's
leaf is about 10 times more efficient at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural leaf．Yet he is optimistic
that he can boost the efficiency of the device much higher in the future．
21．Daniel Nocera describes his artificial leaf as promising m ______．
A．making an artificial plant that can feed itself．
B．finding a new kind of catalyst to produce electricity．
C．changing the sunlight and water into electricity directly
D．providing electricity for the poor family at a low cost
22．According to the passage, catalysts in the artificial leaf______．
A．speed up the process of chemical reactions
B．reduce the loss of energy during its operation
C．work as a media to store collected energy
D．slow down the course of chemical reactions
23．The underlined word "it" in the fourth paragraph refers to _____．
A．photosynthesis B．catalyst used by the solar cell
C．Turner^ -artificial leaf D．Nocera's new leaf
10
24．The passage is most probably from ______．
A．a science fiction story B．a fairy tale book
C．an advertisement for solar products D．a science news report
B
When learning a second language, it is important to study the culture of the language you're learning．Anyone can learn another language's grammar from a textbook, but what good is this learning if you don't understand the culture of the person you're speaking to? Only in learning another language and its culture will you be able to proficiently communicate with a person in that language. There are many ways to enhance your language studies by studying the country's culture; this can include reading literature, watching movies, or listening to popular music.
Many schools in the United States emphasize the importance of culture understanding in language classes. Instead of memorizing only vocabulary words and grammar patterns, classes from elementary schools to universities are teaching literature, pop songs, and films in their classes. From these various mediums students can learn a great deal about the culture of a language they study. These different forms of media can teach various characteristics about the language, culture, and history of a society.
Literature can allow you to understand the history and current debates confronting a culture. For example, if you read John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath you can understand the history and problems of ordinary American farmers in the Great Depression. In watching films one can learn about what is popular in a society, and also slang phrases one definitely won't find in a textbook. In pop songs one can understand what the current craze in a culture is; what kind of music people like to listen to, what that culture finds romantic, and even what me contemporary "cool" viewpoint in that society is.
If you truly are interested in learning a language, don't underestimate the importance of learning about the language's home culture. Of course one must learn a language's grammar and vocabulary, but this will only get you so far in actually being able to communicate effectively. So if you are learning a language, take the time to also study the culture.
25. The best title for this passage would be _____.
A. Important Factors in Learning a Second Language
B. The Importance of Culture in Learning a Language
C. Effectively Communicating in a Second Language
D. Why You Should Watch Films and Listen to Music When Learning a Foreign Language
26. In the above passage literature is described as an important way to learn ______about a culture.
A. history B. political issues C. social issues D. all of the above
27. Which of the following opinions, was NOT expressed in the passage above?
A. Language learning needs to be supplemented by cultural learning.
B. Cultural learning can give key insights into a society's history, language, and current trends.
C. A majority of time should be given to cultural learning while learning a second language.
D. The key to effective communication is language and cultural proficiency.
C
As you grow older, you'll be faced with some challenging decisions—— like should you
10
play soccer or field hockey, or like whether to cut class or try cigarettes. Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when other people get involved and try to press you one way or another it can be even harder. People who are your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act, or get you to do something, it's called peer pressure. It's something everyone has to deal with—— even adults. Let's talk about how to handle it.
Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. You might admire a friend who is always a good sport and try to be more like him or her. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone's reading it. These are examples of how peers positively influence each other every day.
Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them, your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball, or a kid in the neighborhood might want you to shoplift with him.
It is tough to be the only one who says "no" to peer pressure, but you can do it. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. Inner strength and self-confidence can help you stand firm, walk away, and .resist doing something.
You've probably had a parent or a teacher advising you to "choose your friends wisely". Peer pressure-is a big reason why they say this. If you choose friends who don't use drugs, cut class, smoke cigarettes, or lie to their parents, then you probably won't do these things either, even if other kids do.
If you continue to face peer pressure and you're finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust. Don't feel guilty if you've made a mistake or two. Talking to a parent, a teacher or a school counselor can help you feel much better and prepare you for the next time you face peer pressure.
28．For whom is the passage most probably written?
A．Students B．Parents C．Teachers D．Counselors
29．Both Paragraph 2 and 3 are developed ____．
A．by space B．by time C．by stories D, by examples
30．In the last three paragraphs, the author mainly ____．
A．explains why peer pressure is so important
B．gives advice on how to deal with peer pressure
C．discusses how peers influence us
D．show how to make more good friends
31．Which of the following may help handle peer pressure?
A．Spending more time with your classmates．
B．Taking up more relaxing hobbies．
C．Choosing friends with no bad habits．
D．Doing what your classmates do．
D
Look at the keyboard of any standard typewriter or computer．"Q," "W," "E," "R," "T" and "Y"
are the first six letters．Who decided on this arrangement of the letters? And why?
People tried for centuries to invent the typewriter．In 1714 in England, Henry Mill
10
filed a patent for a
machine called An Artificial Machine or Method for the Impressing or Transcribing of Letters, Singly or
Progressively one after another, as in Writing, whereby all Writing whatsoever may be Engrossed in
Paper or Parchment so Neat and Exact as not to be distinguished from Print．That machine probably
didn't sell because no one could remember its name!
The first practical typewriter was patented in the United States in 1868 by Christopher Latham
Sholes．His machine was known as the type-writer．It had a movable carriage, a lever for turning paper
from line to line, and a keyboard on which the letters were arranged in alphabetical order．
But Sholes had a problem．On his first model, his "ABC" key arrangement caused the keys to jam when the typist worked quickly．Sholes didn't know how to keep the keys from sticking, so his solution was to keep the typist from typing too fast．Sholes asked his brother-in-law to rearrange the keyboard so that the commonest letters were not so close together and the type bars would come from opposite directions．Thus they would not clash together and jam the machine．The new arrangement was the QWERTY arrangement typists use today．Of course, Sholes claimed that the new arrangement was scientific and would add speed and efficiency． The only efficiency it added was to slow the typist down,
since almost any word in the English language required the typist's fingers to cover more distance on the
keyboard．
The advantages of the typewriter outweighed the disadvantages of the keyboard．Typists memorized the crazy letter arrangement, and the typewriter became a huge success．By the time typists had memorized the new arrangement of letters and built their speed, typewriter technology had improved, and the keys didn't stick as badly as they had at first．
32．The author thinks the machine invented by Henry Mill could not be sold because___．
A．it was difficult for people to accept new things
B．there were great disadvantages of the keyboard
C．the machine could not be distinguished from print
D．the name of the machine was too long
33．Sholes decided the QWERTY arrangement of the keyboard in order to___．
A．arrange the letters in alphabetical order
B．cause the keys to jam when the typist worked quickly
C．solve the problem of the keys jamming
D．compete with "ABC" key arrangement
34．It is inferred that the QWERTY arrangement of the keyboard ．
A．is the most scientific arrangement B．adds speed and efficiency of typists
C．keeps the typist from typing too fast D．is easy for typists to memorize
35．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A．The Arrangement of The Letters on Keyboard
10
B．The Story of Christopher Latham Sholes
C．How to Invent The Typewriter
D．The First Practical Typewriter

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 /our pet is sick, you know it needs medication．But pets, like babies, don't know the pill you wunt them to take will help them．__36__ Here are some tips to help get your pet to medicine．
__37___If the answer is yes, then your easiest path is to mix it with canned food． First give your hungry pet a small amount of canned food without the medication．It's important that the pet nibbles （一点点地吃） at the food and sees that there's nothing wrong．
Next, while the pet is still hungry, mix the medication in a small amount food and present it．Repeat as necessary to get the entire dose （剂量） down．__38__ If the pet decides not to finish the meal, the dose will be wasted．
If the chemist says the medication cannot be taken with food, you need a syringe （'注射器） or a dropper to get the liquid down your pet's throat．
__39 Keep a cheerful tone in your voice so the pet doesn't sense-your stress or hesitation．Position your pet where it cannot run away, perhaps having a dog sit with his back against a wall or chair — or a cat on your lap．
__40__ Use your other hand to insert the syringe or dropper between the cheek and back teeth．Slowly squeeze the medication so the pet won't choke．Try to keep your pet's mouth closed for approximately 30 seconds until you see it has swallowed．If your pet is being obstinate （'倔强的）, stroke （抚摸） its throat gently or blow on the face．
Be sure you end the session with praise and perhaps a treat so your pet will not associate medication with a bad experience．
A．Before you call your pet in, be sure to have the medication and any other materials you'll need ready．
B．Once the pet is in position, use one hand to gently open the pet's mouth from above, tilting back the head slightly．
C．Ask the vet if the liquid medication can be given with food．
D．You should know the reason why the pet refuses to take medicine．
E．Never mix the medication with the full meal．
F．They just know it smells funny and they don't want it．
G．Don’t force your pet to swallow all the medicine．
