第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,共20小题,每小题2分,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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Here is a collection of some of the eccentric(古怪的)laws in the world. We can laugh , we can gasp, we can only wonder……
1. Think before you chew
In Singapore, chewing gum is prohibited. This rule was introduced because of the high cost and difficulty in removing stuck chewing gum from public premises. In particular, chewing gum stuck on the Mass Rapid Transit train doors stopped the train from moving. It happened a few times and those were a few times too many.
2. Lighten up
Drivers in Denmark are supposed to drive vehicles with their headlights on. You’d think this law would apply to night driving but it doesn’t . It is considered essential during the day as well or they may face a fine of up to ﹩100.Studies have shown that this has helped a lot to avoid road accidents in Denmark.
3. To fail﹥to jail
In Bangladeshi, children 15 and older can be put in jail for cheating on their final examinations. Every year, Bangladeshi government takes strong measures to stop cheating and carries out a massive media campaign to forewarn students through print and television.
4.Sue(控告) them pants!
In France, it is still against the law for women to wear pants. The law reportedly has been on the books since 1800. It was amended several times: once in 1892 to allow women to sport trousers while riding horses and again in 1909 to permit the ladies to wear pants while on bicycles.
5. The law with a flaw
In Georgia no bicycle shall be equipped, modified, or altered in such a way as to cause the pedal in its lowermost position to be more than 12 inches above the ground, nor shall any bicycle be operated if so equipped . The question is :Who would ride such a bike?
6. One Two Three Go!
In Massachusetts at a wake(守丧),mourners may eat no more than three sandwiches. It is one of those laws that was written in books and never removed since then. Bad manners, one might consider it, but in Massachusetts it is a criminal offense.
21. How many laws are mentioned in the passage?
A . Two B .Three C. Six D. Five
22. In which country is chewing gum not allowed ?
A. Singapore B. America C. France D. China
23. Which is Not true according to the passage ?
A. In Bangladesh, children 15 and younger can be put in jail for cheating.
B. In Georgia no bicycle shall be equipped .
C. In France it is still against the law for women to wear pants.
D. Drivers in Denmark are supposed to drive vehicles with their headlights on.
B
Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories.
In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France . The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced , not that the memories are wiped out . They are not sure to what degree people’s memories are affected.
The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.
7
Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war.
They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.
“Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”
But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change people’s memories and changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.
“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are . I’m not sure we want to wipe those memories out.” Said Rebcca Dresser , a medical ethicist.
24.The passage is mainly about
A. a new medical invention B. a new research on the pill
C. a way of wiping out painful memories D. an argument about the research on the pill
25. The drug tested on people can
A. cause the brain to fix memories
B. stop people remembering bad experiences
C. prevent body producing certain chemicals
D. wipe out the emotional effect of memories
26.We can infer from the passage that
A. people doubt the effect of the pills
B. the pills will certainly stop people’s emotional memories
C. taking the pill will do harm to people’s physical health
D. the pill has already been produced and used by the public in the US
27. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with in the last paragraph?
A. Some memories can ruin people’s lives.
B. People want to get rid of bad memories .
C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.
D. The pill will reduce people’s sufferings from bad memories.
C
The spread of Western eating habits around the wood is bad for human health and the environment.These findings come from a new report in the journal Nature.
David Tillman, a professor of ecology at the University of Minnesota, America, examined information from 100 countries to identify what people ate and how diet affected health. He noted a movement beginning in the 1960s.He found that as nations industrialized(工业化), population increased and earnings rose, more people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet.
The Western diet is high in sugar, fat, oil and meat.By eating these foods, people began to get fatter and sicker.David Tillman says overweight people are at greater risk for non-infectious diseases like diabetes(耱尿病) and heart disease.
Unfortunately when people become industrialized, if they adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these health problems, especially in developing countries in Asia.China is an example where the number of diabetes cases has been jumping from less than one percent to 10 percent of the population as they began to industrialize over a 20-year period.And that is happening all across the world, in Mexico, in Nigeria and so on.
And, a diet bad for human beings, is also bad for the environment.As the world's population grows, more forests and tropical(熟带的) areas will become farmland for crops or grasslands for cattle.We are likely to have more greenhouse gas in the future from agriculture than that coming out of all forms of transportation right now.
Mr.Tillman calls the link between diet, the environment and human health, "a dilemma": a problem offering a difficult choice.He says one possible solution is leaving the Western diet behind.
28.According to the passage, more greenhouse gas might be given off in the future from .
A.agriculture B.developing countries
C.transportation D.developed countries
29.David Tilman believes that .
A.people in tropical areas are more likely to have heart disease
B.the Western diet is the only choice as the nation industrializes
C.diet, the environment and human health are closely connected
D.traditional diets are more balanced than the Western diet
30.We can infer from the passage that _ .
A.Nigeria has the largest number of diabetes cases
B.industrialization contributes to the spread of the Western diet
C.the examined information comes from developing countries
D.overweight people are at higher risk of infectious diseases
31.The main purpose of the passage is to _ .
A.can on us to protect the environment
B.remind us of the importance of health
C.warn us of the danger of the Western diet
D.advise us to have a balanced diet
D
Each year on February 2nd, there is a special festival called Groundhog Day (土拨鼠日 )' forecasting event in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. When it comes, people from around the world, including 5,000 in the small town today, watch this tongue-twisting(发音饶舌的) small town for a sign from one groundhog that supposedly predicts when that year' s spring will arrive.
If it's a cloudy day outside when the groundhog pops from its cave, then spring will arrive early that year. However, if it is sunny outside, the groundhog will supposedly be
7
scared by its own shadow, hiding underground for six more weeks of cold weather.
Of course, Punxsutawney Phil's prediction is no more able to guarantee the extended forecast than your local weatherman. ABC News reports that an analysis by the National Climate Data Center found that Phil's predictions are more often wrong than right.
Philis is also found to have made some unpleasant predictions. Ever since 1887, he has predicted 99 extended winters and just 16 early springs. Nine of the years' predictions were unavailable, according to ABC.
The holiday began as a German tradition in 18th century and became even more of a cultural phenomenon after the 1993 film Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray.
Punxsutawney Phil has become a celebrity in his own right. Each year, the fatter animal with long teeth is watched by millions as he emerges from a cave in the town he is named after. Phil has become so beloved by the town that he actually lives in the local library with his “wife" Phyllis.
Taking inspiration from the hard state of Bill Murray’s character in the classic film, Yahoo contributor Owen Rust says Groundhog Day is a good time to reflect on one’s routines.
32.The underlined word “pops” means “ ”.
A. escapes B. hides C. increases D. appears
33.The reason why Phil's predictions aren't pleasing is that_____________.
A. some of the predictions were unavailable
B. Phil wants to do that for fun
C. Phil likes to make unpleasant predictions
D. he has predicted more late springs
34.How does Punxsutawney Phil become a celebrity?
A. By an accident. B. From people's life improving.
C. By his own attractive force D. From much money raised by the town.
35. Which does this passage mainly talk about?
A. The National Climate Data Center
B. Groundhog Day weather forecasting
C. A tongue-twisting small town
D. A German tradition

How to test best
It’s back to school, which means it’s back to tests. Which might also mean it’s back to being majorly stressed out . 36 Here are some simple ways to prepare thoroughly for tests.
Schedule study time.
Trying to do all studying the night before a test makes it impossible to master all the material. 37 Instead, prepare for a test by scheduling study time each day for several days before.
Use your time wisely.
38 Also, make sure you have all the supplies you need to study so you don’t lose focus.
While studying, be sure to make regular short breaks. Get a snack, take a bathroom break or play a quick computer game when it feels as if your brain is about to explode.
39
Studying with a parent or friends can help you understand the material better and to learn from one another. Have every person or pair take a part of the material, and come up with questions to quiz the group.
Keep the group small. Have everyone take turns as the group leader, who will assign the material, and make sure that conversation stays on what is being studied.
Don’t forget last-minute preparation.
Have your sharpened pencils and other things in your bag ready the night before the test. It’s important to get a good night’s sleep and then eating a healthy breakfast the next morning. 40
Also,studying all the way up until test time can only create more anxiety. Stop studying an hour beforehand.
A. This way, both your mind and body are fully prepared.
B. Before studying , clear your desk so you can concentrate.
C. Stay cool before the test.
D. It doesn’t have to be this way. E. Form a study group.
F. It will also make you tired and stressed on the day of the test.
G. This will help you store important information.

It was 8 hours later that the day broke, and then the 44 of the rescue.
It is almost 45 that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his 46 : “ First of all I checked up my 47 conditions and found myself not in mortal (必死的) danger.

写作答案:Dear Bob,
Last week I did a survey among the students in my class on what university they want to choose. Now I’m writing to tell you the results.
Twenty-five percent of my classmates want to choose universities in our province. They say they are more likely to be admitted if they apply to these universities. And they needn’t change their lifestyle too much. Seventy percent of them would like to choose universities in other provinces. Being away from home, they can become more independent and there are more universities for them to choose from. The rest five percent of my classmates plan to choose foreign universities. One reason why they want to go abroad is that they can learn more about different cultures. Besides, it will be a great help to their foreign language study. Yours
