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、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill. It was 1944, but I can remember my mother’s words as if it were yesterday: “ Kerrel, I don’t want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him.”
AIDS wasn’t something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My father’s other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him.
We couldn’t afford all the necessary medication for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I had no money for school supplies and often couldn’t even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teacher’s words muffled (消声) as I tried to figure out how I
was going to manage. I did not share my burden (负担) with anyone. I had seen how people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be cruel. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table even though he was too weak to feed himself.
I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret, I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared. She saved my life.
I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to anyone, even me. He didn’t want to call attention to AIDS. I do.
21. What does Kerrel tell us about her father?
A. He had stayed in the hospital since he fell ill.
B. He depended on the nurses in his final days.
C. He worked hard to pay for his medication.
D. He told no one about his disease.
22. What can we learn from the underlined sentence?
A. Kerrel couldn’t understand her teacher.
B. Kerrel had special difficulty in hearing.
C. Kerrel was too troubled to focus on the lesson.
D. Kerrel was too tired to hear her teacher’s words.
23. Why did Kerrel keep her father’s disease a secret?
A. She was afraid of being looked down upon.
B. She thought it was shameful to have AIDS.
C. She found no one willing to listen to her.
D. She wanted to obey her mother.
24. Why did Kerrel write the passage?
A. To tell people about the sufferings of her father.
B. To show how little people knew about AIDS.
C. To draw people’s attention to AIDS.
D. To remember her father.
B
In Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called “satellite kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place.
Asians are immigrating to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before. Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West. In Asia, especially in China, Japan, and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.
The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East. Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes. For these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West. Therefore, these children become “satellite kids”, and most of
their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid”.
Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kid” problem. Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. To be a “satellite kid” means to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means to grow up lonely, because your parents are elsewhere. What these “satellite kids” will probably say to their parents is that it’s better to have parents around than to have a university education.
25. Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because ________.
A. they hope their children may easily find a job there.
B. the kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countries.
C. all foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countries.
D. the kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends.
26. “Satellite kids” refer to Asian kids ________.
A. without parents B. living abroad alone
C. with university education D. speaking no English
27. Some Asian immigrant children become “satellite kids” because their parents ________.
A. want to leave their own country B. want them to go to university
C. return to their countries to work D. want them to be independent
C
Animal training refers to teaching animals specific responses to specific conditions or stimuli (刺激). Training may be for the purpose of companionship, detection, protection, entertainment or all of the above.
An animal trainer may use various forms of reinforcement (强化) or punishment to train an animal’s responses. Some animal trainers may have a knowledge of the principles of behavior analysis, but there are many ways to train animals and as a general rule, no legal requirements or certifications are required.
Training chickens has become a way for trainers of other animals to perfect their training technique. Bob Bailey, former director of Animal Behavior Enterprises and the IQ Zoo, teaches chicken training courses where trainers teach chickens to tell different shapes, to successfully pass through a way with obstacles (障碍) and to chain behaviors together. Chicken training is done using operant conditioning (操作性条件反射), using a clicker and chicken feed for reinforcement.
Fish can also be trained. For example, a goldfish may swim toward its owner and follow him as he walks through the room, but will not follow anyone else. The fish may swim up and down signaling the owner to turn on its aquarium (鱼缸) light when it is off, and it will skim the surface until its owner feeds it. Pet goldfish have also been taught to perform more difficult tasks, such as doing the limbo (a kind of dance) and pushing a very small soccer ball into a net.
Among all animals, they are the third cleverest after monkeys and dolphins. Scientists think the training of pigs is easier than the training of dogs and cats. Pigs have a very good sense of smell. They can find things nearby or faraway.
They can also help the police to find out drugs at an airport or at a train station.
28. The aim of training animals is to _________.
A. detect objects for people B. keep people company
C. protect or entertain people D. all of the above
29. Which is True according to the passage?
A. Most people teach animals general responses to general conditions.
B. Training animals requires some certifications.
C. Training chickens is a way to improve the trainers’ skills.
D. Chickens can be trained to help the police to find out drugs.
30. According to the passage, a fish can _________.
A. be trained to follow anyone B. turn on its aquarium light when it is off
C. signal its owner to feed it D. take part in a football game in the field
31. Scientists think the training of pigs is easier than that of dogs and cats because _________.
A. pigs do not bite like dogs B. pigs are smarter animals
C. pigs have a good sense of hearing D. pigs can help find out drugs at an airport
D
You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in your getting wet. That’s why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.
The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy (伞蓬) built into a street lamp,” he said.
The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors (传感器) ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians (行人) shelter whenever it starts raining.
In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360° motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.
According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.
While there are no plans to take Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.
32. For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella?
A. To predict a heavy rain. B. To check the weather forecast.
C. To protect people from the rain. D. To remind people to take an umbrella.
33. What do we know from Belyaev’s words in Paragraph 2?
A. His creation was inspired by an experience.
B. It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.
C. Street lamps are protected by canopies.
D. He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.
34. Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella works?
A. motor→canopy→sensors B. sensors→motor→canopy
C. motor→sensors→canopy D. canopy→motor→sensors
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The designer will open a company to promote his product.
B. The Lampbrella could be put into immediate production.
C. The designer is confident that his creation is practical.
D. The Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
As a parent, you must have a lot of concerns regarding the various skills you would like your child to acquire. Music is one of them. 36 On the other hand, it is great for a child’s overall development if he or she has an interest in the fine arts.
37 It is well known that they stay out of trouble as teenagers and young adults if they have music as a serious interest. The concentration helps them with their grades. Their learning and communication skills are better than those of their peer group. They also develop lots of confidence and self-esteem.
Another advantage of your child learning music becomes obvious only at a later stage. 38 It can be very beneficial and many top musicians had a very early exposure to music and credit this with their later successes.
You can start when your child is only a baby, by exposing him or her to a wide range of music at home. 39 And you could sustain (维持) your child’s interest by having the both of you singing together.
Some parents start their children on a musical instrument as early as 3 years of age. This is great if the child is having a good time. It goes without saying that you should not have to drag your child to lessons. You can be sure that nothing productive will come out of it. 40 .
If you start your child on music lesson by the age of 5, taking care to encourage her and not to push her, your child will grow up into an accomplished adult with a well-rounded personality.
A. It can have good effects on your child.
B. That is why many people make a selection of music as a career.
C. And your child will have a lifelong dislike of music.
D. Otherwise you’ll completely spoil your child’s future.
E. You could ensure that there is a song or melody playing in the background.
F. There are a couple of advantages of teaching children to play a musical instrument.
G. On the one hand, you can encourage your child’s creativity and natural hobby.

all morning, and by lunchtime I knew I needed a coffee to 42 the afternoon. So during my lunch break, I drove to a nearby square to get a coffee.

If I ran back really quickly, I could 46 it. But it was winter, and a sudden fall on the ice would only make the situation much 47 .
So I hurried into a McDonald’s in the same square, and 48 the man at the counter, who happened to be the 49 , to call a taxi for me.

书面表达：
Sample writing：
1: Thomas Edison
Born in America, Thomas Edison was a great scientist and inventor. He was once thought to be a boy who was not worth educating. In fact, he was a man full of imagination.
I admire Edison a lot because of his great contribution to the world. He had more than 1000 inventions. In his life time, he was always eager to know how things worked, which helped him to earn the nickname “the Wizard of Melo Park”. He was also so diligent that he worked day and night. And this explained why he had so many great inventions.
What impresses me most is his famous saying. “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration”. Probably I cannot be an Edison myself, but I can be a hardworking teamer. From him, I realize the secret to success is not when or where you were born, but what you are doing and how you do it in your life.
2: Helen Keller
Every time I read “… if I had the power of sight for three days”, I cannot help being moved by its author Helen Keller, an ordinary but great American woman.
I admire Helen because she is optimistic about life. She became deaf and blind when she was 19 months old. Since then she lived in a world of darkness and silence, and communication seemed only a dream for her. But she never gave up and struggled to lead an active life. Under the guidance of her teacher, Ms. Sullivan, Helen learned to read and write and became a famous writer. For a disabled person like her, this was really a wonder!
Helen has set an excellent example to all of us. Her story tells us that we should value what we have, and try our best to overcome any difficulty in life.
3: William Shakespeare
Do you know Hamlet? Have you read The Merchant of Venice? These two great works are both written by William Shakespeare, my favorite English writer and the man of all ages!
Shakespeare, a son from a poor family, a man of little education, wrote plays and poems that are read all over the world, I like him because his comedies and tragedies bring me into a fantastic world; I love him because his poems let me enjoy the beauty of the English language; I admire him because his keen sights set me thinking and teach me how to lead a meaningful life!
Since “Life is a stage”, we are actually all actors and actresses. On this stage, everyone had his own role to play, and I will try my best to play my role well.
