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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
I ran into quite a few language problems while vacationing ( 度假) with my family last summer. The most embarrassing was when my Mom apologized to the people we were staying with because her “pants were dirty”. They looked at her in amazement, not knowing how to react. You see, Mom had fallen over and gotten mud on her jeans. But in Britain, “pants” means underpants or knickers( 内裤;衬裤), not trousers as it does back home.
Katie — From America
I went to stay with a friend on the west coast last summer. Her flat was on the first floor of a high-rise building so I got the lift up. Then I wandered round for ages looking for her flat but couldn’t find it. Fed up and tired, I finally had to go out to find a phone box. She explained that her flat was on the first floor, which for me meant the ground floor.
David — From Britain
When I asked for the “restroom” in a big department store, people kept directing me to a room with seats where I could sit and “rest”. It took me years to get through to (使...明白)someone that I only wanted the toilet!
Tom — From America
Last summer we went on a two-week family touring holiday, so Dad hired a car over the Internet. This was an old vehicle and there turned out (结果是;证明是)to be lots of things wrong with it. When he phoned the hire company and tried to explain that the lock on the boot was broken, they thought he was talking about footwear! He had no idea their word for “boot” was “trunk”. In the end we went to a garage and just solved the problem.
Mary — From Britain
21.David went out to find a phone box to ________.
A.phone the police for help B.phone his friend for help
C.tell his friends he couldn’t go to visit her D.apologize for his being late
22.When Tom asked for the “restroom”, the people around him thought ______.
A.he wanted to have a rest. B.he wanted the toilet
C.he wanted a chair D.He wanted to go to a department store
23.Which of the following words is from British English?
A.Pants. B.Ground floor. C.Restroom. D.Trunk.
B
Whenever we talk about holidays, my mother teases my sister and me about how we “make out like robbers.” She is referring to the fact that we are half Jewish and half Indian, so we receive gifts on both the festivals of lights: Hanukkah and Diwali. Though my mother teases us, I do not mind getting two sets of gifts!
Hanukkah is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month, which is usually sometime in December. On Hanukkah, like most Jewish families, we light a menorah(烛台) and say a prayer each night. We also say a special prayer on the first night. After that, it is a tradition for my sister and me to do ‘hot and cold’ for our hidden Hanukkah gifts. When we walk towards the gift, our parents say ‘hot’ and when we walk further away, they say ‘cold’. We each receive one present every night of Hanukkah. Another part I like about this holiday is seeing family members who we do not see often. My aunt usually stays for a few days, and we sometimes visit other relatives.
Diwali is celebrated on the 13th day of the dark fortnight of the month of Ashwin (October/November). To celebrate Diwali, my family does a pooja(印度教的礼拜), or prayers, in honor of the goddess Lakshmi. Since she is the goddess of wealth and prosperity, the pooja includes washing silver coins in milk and water. In India, people decorate their houses with lamps, similar to the way you might light up your house for Christmas. My family just places a few candles outside. We also set off firecrackers, which is my favorite part. We often do this activity with friends to add to the excitement.
Both holidays have different histories and stories. We celebrate them in different ways, yet they both have the same meaning. They both translate into Festival of Lights, and they both mean family and presents for me!
24. Why does the author receive gifts on both Hanukkah and Diwali?
A. Because he lives in a rich family.
B. Because he lives in two different countries.
C. Because his parents like celebrating their different cultures.
D. Because his parents like spending money buying gifts for them.
25. What does the underlined phrase “hot and cold” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A kind of Hanukkah game. B. A kind of Hanukkah gift.
C. A can of festival drink. D. A riddle written on lights.
26. We can learn from the text that Hanukkah and Diwali ________.
A. share the same history and culture B. are celebrated by both Jews and Indians
C. are both related to the legend of lights D. encourage the families to do their prayers
27. What is the author’s attitude towards Hanukkah and Diwali?
A. She enjoys celebrating both of them. B. She does mind spending them.
C. She likes Hanukkah better. D. She likes Diwali better.
C
Are you preparing for a big test? If so, you may want to go to play some basketball in between hitting the books. Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels (血管), including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr. Cameron is sure that this allows people who exercise to think better. As she says, “while we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can actually cause physical changes in the brain.”
The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. Even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes, a scientist, also believes in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in primary school or high school can result from a lack of movement as babies. “Babies need movement that encourages and excites their five senses. They need to set up a connection between motion and memory. In this way, as they get older, children will begin to connect physical activity with higher learning,” says Margaret.
Older people can develop their brains as well. Cornell University studied a group of seniors who have a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does not have to be very difficult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for babies, exercise for older people should not be too simple. Learning some new skills or actions, such as with yoga or tai-chi helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time. For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main aim is to increase the brain’s flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week.
28. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. How exercise makes people strong. B. How to get good scores on a test.
C. How exercise helps the brain. D. How the brain can change.
29. According to the passage, what is the connection between exercise and brain development?
A. Exercise helps soften our blood vessels. B. Physical exercise helps us think better.
C. The brain needs special mental exercise. D. The more exercise, the bigger the brain.
30. Why does the author think that yoga is fit for seniors?
A. It does good to the joints of old people. B. It does not increase the heart rate.
C. It includes learning new actions. D. It can be done in groups.
31. The smallest amount of exercise required to gain any benefit is ________.
A. three hours per week B. 40 hours per week
C. three hours per day D. 40 hours per month
D
My husband David was waiting at the door when our daughter Laura and I pulled in the driveway. It wasn’t like him to be home so early. The disbelief on his face told me that something was up.
"Do you still have a job?"
"No. Redundant," he answered, looking away from me.
"OK. We’ll figure it out," I replied calmly.
I actually had no idea how we were going to figure it out. I immediately started to think of how we’d cut costs and who we should start to get in touch with. That night, after David had fallen asleep, I cried myself to sleep, and frequently sobbed in the shower in the days that followed.
I knew the loss of David’s income would have great effect on us. He had worked for the same insurance company for twenty-one years and was our main income. I work at home caring for Laura, and my freelance(自由职业者的)income is uncertain. We have debts, and job hunting takes time.
Still, I was more concerned about my husband’s emotional state than our financial situation. David’s sense of identity was tied to his job. He called his parents to tell them about losing his job, but didn’t say a word to anyone else for weeks. He told me that he felt like "a failure".
It was tough for me to watch David struggle with unemployment. One night a couple of weeks after he lost his job, David woke me just before midnight, sweating, pacing the bedroom floor and saying he felt funny. We spent the night in the emergency room waiting to see if he had a heart attack. Thankfully, it was just a serious anxiety attack. It was then that I knew I needed to do more to understand what my husband was going through. Here is what I learned from my own experience—and from talking to experts—on how to support your spouse through a job loss.
32. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word "Redundant" in Paragraph 3?
A. A piece of cake. B. Out of question. C. My treat. D. Out of employment.
33.What did the writer do about her husband’s situation at first?
A. She always remained calm and gave him advice.
B. She appeared calm when in fact she was worried.
C. She began to write about her husband’s situation to the newspapers.
D. She went to consult some doctors.
34.What can we know about David?
A. He was fired by the company he had worked for twenty-one years.
B. He never thought himself "a failure" even when jobless.
C. He was aware of the family’s financial situation.
D. Upon leaving the job, he suffered a heart attack and had to consult the doctor.
35.What will be talked about in the next part of the passage?
A. What the writer did to help get some income.
B. How David suffered from the heart attack and the treatment.
C. How the writer supported David to get through the jobless period.
D. Why the insurance company fired David.

Reduce the list.

Dear fellow students,
Our school is preparing to help students develop good habits. But there is a bad phenomenon in our school -----some students are spending too much money on snacks.
Eating snacks is a waste of money. It’s also a bad habit that we should get rid of. In addition, most snacks have too much fat and sugar. They are unhealthy food. Eating snacks may lead to fatness and illness. To make matters worse, some students litter the food wrappers everywhere.
As high school students, we should act properly. Dear fellow students, let’s form good eating habits and say no to snacks!
