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，共30分）
请阅读下列短文，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项的标号涂黑。
A
Born in the State of New York on May 14th, 1984, Mark Zuckerberg was an instant success. In his high school years, he was considered one of top students in the classics, before moving into the arts, sciences, and literature, again picking up high marks and receiving academic praise. It earned him admission to Harvard University.
As a rebellious yet relatively quiet student, he created a website called Facemash in the university– an instantly controversial website that encouraged students to rate each other based on appearance.
The site was controversial for several reasons. The first was its illegal use of photographs,
which the university and students took issue with. The second was its controversial nature – not every student liked being ranked based on their appearance. The third was its huge resource use – while it was hosted on Harvard servers, it was the most popular page in the university’s entire network.
Zuckerberg was soon forced to shut the site down, but its popularity and controversy had made him consider its future potential. He soon turned the simple site into a personal one for Harvard students, encouraging them to network with their peers at the college. It was then, together with his two friends, that they launched “The Facebook”, which immediately spread to other colleges and grew into a public service that anyone could access in the United States, whether to network with friends and family, or to play games.
The company has been criticized frequently, nevertheless, Zuckerberg has remained true to his initial vision – to create a website that the entire world can use to communicate openly and easily with one another and to keep the user experience clean and pure. The end result is one of the world’s biggest online businesses.
Although its true value is debatable, it’s safe to say that Facebook, and its creator Mark Zuckerberg, are two of the twenty-first century’s most influential, controversial, and potentially powerful figures.
21. When Mark Zuckerberg was a student, he_____________________.
A. encouraged students to set up business like him
B. alone created a website called Facebook
C. had good academic performance
D. was often praised by teachers for the website he created
22. The reason why Zuckerberg shut the site down was probably that__________.
A. his website was not popular
B. he was doubted for the way he used photographs
C. he needed time to reconsider his choice
D. he stole resource on Harvard server
23. Which words can best describe Zuckerberg?
A. Quiet and shy B. Easy-going and smart.
C. Rebellious and creative. D. Talented and outgoing.
24 . The best title of the passage should be________________.
A. The Development of Facebook B. A Talent from Harvard University
C. The Foundation of Facebook D. Mark Zuckerberg and his Facebook

Owning a pet makes us healthier and happier, but for many of us, long hours at work, tight budgets and small flats means it's just not practical. But there's good news for animal lovers; you can now cosy up with a cup of tea while spending time with furry friends, as the global movement of animal café has reached the UK.
The international phenomenon originated in Taipei, where the world's first cat café, Cat Flower Garden, opened in 1998. Curious tourists soon discovered the pet paradise and brought the concept over to Japan. The first Japanese cat café opened in Osaka in 2005, and now there are said to be nearly 40 in Tokyo alone.
Japan has now gone far beyond the original concept, and some of the trendiest places to visit nowadays have owls, rabbits and goats hanging around. Tokyo's Fukuro no Mise, which means the “Shop of Owls” , has full guest lists for up to two months.
Lady Dinah's Cat Emporium was the first of its kind to open up in East London last year. The
successful cat café takes bookings 50 days ahead and usually about 90% of them book out about 5 -6 weeks in advance, Though the business has been a success, the owner Lauren Pears worries a little bit about the sudden rise of cat café everywhere.
“Cat cafés are still in their beginnings here and we've seen a very recent cautionary tale springing up in Singapore with the sudden burst of cat café in the city. Earlier this year, one of them was closed down after serious animal welfare issues resulted in the deaths of several cats. ”She emphasizes that even though the job is fun and rewarding, it also comes with serious responsibility.
28. Why are cat cafés so popular?
A. They offer great services. B. They provide practical means to enjoy pets.
C. They promote a new concept. D. They stay open for a long time.
29. What is the concern of Lauren Pears?
A. The sudden rise of illegal cat café. B. The blind expansion of cat café.
C. Cat café owners' lack of responsibility. D. The possibility that cats may be unfriendly.
30. What does the underlined part "cautionary tale" in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Greeting B. Interview. C.Warning. D. Development.
31. Which country does the text mainly report about?
A . Singapore. B. China. C. Japan. D. UK.
D
When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as entertainment, but certainly not an education priority(优先). This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.
Music tells us who we are, because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.
Music provides a kind of perception (感知) that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive (情感的) meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.
The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.
Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.
So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.
32. According to Paragraph 1, students ____ .
A. prefer the arts to science B. disagree with their parents on education
C. view music as an overlooked subject D. regard music as a way of entertainment
33. In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz as an example to_________ .
A. compare it with rock music B. prefer the arts to science
C. introduce American musical traditions D. show music identifies a society
34. According to the passage, the arts and science__________.
A. approach the world from different angles B. explore different phenomena of the world
C. express people’s feeling in different ways D. explain what it means to be human
35. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Music is an effective communication tool.
B. Music should be of top education priority.
C. Music education deserves more attention.
D. Music education makes students more imaginative.

Do you have these so-called bad qualities? If yes, congratulations! You're better than you think.
It is hard to know what is good or bad these days when it comes to what qualities you possess. What strong quality applies to you may be what will drag you to become successful. And whatever the world has to think or say about those qualities shouldn't bother you. Actually, these qualities are what bring out the shine in you. 36
You love taking risks.
You like adventures. And you won't just be settled in the safe zone. People will ask you why you are always after the thrill and going above the limits. But how will you discover new things when you are always playing it safe? 37
You are proud.
Pride is different from arrogance（傲慢）.You have your inner self and try to keep your self-respect under control. You don't give in easily. 38 And you understand what your worth is．
39
Many may consider you to be nosy, pushy or a busy body. But in many cases, being curious doesn't always kill the cat, but makes you smarter. You can't really become a better person when you are sticking to what you are. Focus on what you can be and ask the right questions.
You are pessimistic.
40 The world wants to listen to a story of persons who are positive. But what if you are jumping into everything with optimism and not giving yourself the benefit of doubt？You may lose so much when you are not counting the risks and saying enough "No".
A. You will only swell for the right reasons.
B. People will not view shyness as a strength.
C. You don't see everything from a positive light.
D. You want to have an answer for everything.
E. You have to know a lot and reach for knowledge.

第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）
阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从41-60各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community. As a result, all students must 41 sixty hours of service learning, 42 they will not receive a diploma. Service learning is academic learning that also helps the community. 43 of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student. 44 a service experience, students must keep a journal(日志)and then write a 45 about what they have learned.
Supporters claim that there are many 46 of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think 47 their own interests and become 48 of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that 49 responsibility, problem-solving, and working as part of a team. 50 , students can explore possible careers 51 service learning. For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in an elementary school classroom a few afternoons each month.
52 there are many benefits, opponents (反对者) 53 problems with the new requirement. First, they 54 that the main reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills. Because service learning is time-consuming, students spend 55 time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without 56 goes against the law. By requiring service, the school takes away an individual's freedom to choose.
In my view, service learning is a great way to 57 to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers. 58 , I don' t believe you should force people to help others – the 59 to help must come from the heart. I think the best 60 is one that gives students choices: a student should be able to choose sixty hours of independent study or sixty hours of service. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility, and as young adults, we must learn to handle both wisely.

Each week New York-based hairstylist Mark Bustos tries to make a small difference in people's lives 61 giving haircuts to homeless people. During the week, Mark works in his high-class salon, but each Sunday, he walks around the city asking people 62 they'd like a haircut.

The old saying “The early bird catches the worm” show us the importance of planning, working hard and trying constant. To achieve outstanding results, the most people must plan ahead and work diligently to overcome all kind of difficulties. That has been my own experience, either. When I first started at high school, I seldom passed my exams, so I never prepared well. Later, my teacher, Mr. Black, asked me plan everything in advance. She advised me to study hard as well. After a year of putting his advice onto practice, I can now easily pass all my exams.
