第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分 35 分)
第一节 (共十小题,每小题 2.5 分,满分 25 分)
A
There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little
whisky(威士忌) at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle. When Queen Victoria visited there in
1873 she wrote in her diary, “I never saw a lovelier spot,” And she didn't even go fishing.
Scotland is not easily defined. In certain moments, this quiet land of lakes and grass mountains
changes before your very eyes. When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange, the rivers,
teeming with fish, can turn into streams of gold. As you settle down with just a person and a basket
on the bank of River Orchy, near the Inverlochy Castle, any frustration will float away as gently as
the circling water. It's just you and purple, pink, white flowers, a perfect harmony. If you are a new
comer to fishing, learning the basics from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime's fun. For
many, fishing is more than a sport; it is an art.
Scotland offers interesting place where you can rest after a long day's fishing. Set against a wild
mountain and hidden behind woodland, the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a
perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland's mountains. Ben Nevis is the highest of mountains, and
reaching its 1342-metre top is a challenge. But it's not just what goes up that matters; what comes
down is unique. More than 900 metres high, on the mountain's north face, lies an all-important
source of pure water. Its name comes form the Gaelic language "usqueb" or "water of life"; and it is
the single most important ingredient(原料) in Scotland's best known whisky.
21.The story of Queen Victoria is to show that .
A.the queen is rich in tour experience
B.the Castle is a good place to go in Scotland
C.tasting whisky is better than going fishingD.1873 is a special year for the queen
22.What is Ben Nevis special for?
A.The Inverlochy Castle Hotel.
B.The beauty of its surroundings.
C.The water from the mountain.
D.The challenge up to its top.
23.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists.
B.To show the attractions of Scotland to readers.
C.To explore geographical characteristics of Scotland.
D.To describe the pleasures of life in Scotland.

At the age of 14, James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units (3.4
gallons) of blood afterwards. The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned
18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.
More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an
antibody (抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages (流产), retired as a
blood donor on May 11. Harrison’s blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative
blood, which contains Rh-positive antibodies. His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia
since 1967.
“Every bottle of Anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh
program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved millions of
babies. I cry just thinking about it.” Since then, Harrison has donated between 500 and 800
milliliters of blood almost every week. He’s made 1,162 donations from his right arm and 10 from
his left.
“I’d keep going if they let me,” Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop
the donations — and they certainly don’t take them lightly. They had already extended the age limit
for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health. He made his final
donation surrounded by some of the mothers and babies who his blood helped save.
Harrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison’s retirement
from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and
cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of
the anti-D program in Australia.
24.What do we know about James Harrison?
A.He saved 2.4 million poor people.
B.He is to retire as a blood donor.
C.He is a very grateful blood donor.
D.He donates blood nearly every day.
25.What can we infer from the passage about Harrison?
A.After his retirement, the Rh program will fail.
B.New donors are easy to find in a short time.
C.He continues to contribute to the Rh program.
D.His DNA is kept in a library for future study.
26.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.A Unique Man with a Rare Blood Type
B.The Blood Saving Millions of Babies
C.A Special Blood Type Donor to Retire
D.The Man with the Golden Arm

Learning is so complex that there are many different psychological theories to explain how
people learn. A psychologist named Albert Bandura suggested a social learning theory which shows
that observation, imitation (模仿), and modeling play a primary role in this process.
In Albert Bandura’s opinion, people can learn through observation. Observational learning
doesn’t even necessarily require watching another person join in an activity. We can also learn by
reading, hearing, or watching the actions of characters in books and films. However, just observing
someone else’s actions isn’t always enough to lead to learning. Your own mental state also plays an
important role in determining whether a behavior is learned or not. In addition, though in many cases,
learning can be seen immediately when the new behavior is displayed, yet sometimes we can learn things even though that learning might not be immediately obvious, which means people can learn
new information without showing new behaviors.
Not all observed behaviors are effectively learned. Certain requirements need to be related to
the observational learning process. For example, you need to be paying attention. Also your
retention is an important part of observational learning as you need to pull up information later and
act on it during the process. Once you’ve paid attention to the model and kept the information, it’s
time to actually perform the behavior you observed. Further practice of the learned behavior leads to
improvement. Finally, you have to be motivated to imitate the behavior that has been modeled.
Social learning theory have many real-world applications. For example, researchers employ it
to look into and understand ways that positive role models can be used to encourage desirable
behaviors. Besides, it’s also applied in the field of education, and today, both teachers and parents
recognize how important it is to model appropriate behaviors.
27.What can we infer about observational learning from Paragraph 2?
A.Its effects on a person tend to be very obvious.
B.Its effectiveness is determined by the mental state.
C.Its most useful means should be careful watching.
D.It doesn’t necessarily lead to a change in behavior.
28.What does the underlined word “retention” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A.Curiosity. B.Creativity.
C.Memory. D.Imagination.
29.What should you do to make observational learning successful?
A.Learn to be judgmental. B.Look for a motivator.
C.Try to be imaginative. D.Focus on the process.
30.According to the text, the social learning theory ___________.
A.was doubted at first B.remains to be tested
C.is of practical use D.is based on experiments
第二节 七选五(共 5 小题,每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)
Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life. Every waking moment, the eyes are
working to see the world around us. Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight, but it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes. Here are five suggestions for a
lifetime of healthy eyesight:
Schedule yearly exams. 31 Experts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age to
the doctor for a careful check. The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye
exams and following treatment, including eyeglasses.
Protect against UV rays (紫 外 线). Long term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes. No
matter what the season is, it’s extremely important to wear sunglasses. 32
Give your eyes a break. Two thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using
computers or other digital products. 33 Experts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20
rule: every 20 minutes, take a 20second break and look at something 20 feet away.
34 As part of a healthy diet, eat more fruits and vegetables each day. Vitamins C and E
help protect eyesight and promote eye health.
Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses (隐形眼镜). Many Americans use contact lenses
to improve their eyesight. While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses, many
are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk. 35 Otherwise, you may have problems
such as red eyes, pain in the eyes, or a more serious condition.
A.Eat your greens.
B.Eye care should begin early in life.
C.They can properly protect your eyes.
D.Stay in good shape by taking more vitamins.
E.Parents usually don't care about their own eyesight.
F.Always follow the doctor's advice for appropriate wear.
G.This frequent eye activity increases the risk for eye tiredness.

When I was 13 my only purpose was to become the star on our football team. That meant
36 Miller King, who was the best 37 at our school.

One afternoon, I was crossing the field to go home and saw Miller 45 going over a
fence—which wasn’t 46 to climb if you had both arms. I’m sure I was the last person in the
world he wanted to accept 47 from. But even that challenge he accepted. I 48 him
move slowly over the fence. When we were finally 49 on the other side, he said to me,
“You know, I didn’t tell you this during the season, but you did 50 .Thank you for filling in
for 51 .”
His words freed me from my bad 52 . I thought to myself, how even without an arm he
was more of a leader. Damaged but not defeated, he was 53 ahead of me. I was right to have
54 him. From that day on, I grew 55 and a little more real.

Up to 82 percent of children with healthy mothers are not easy to be obese ( 肥 胖 的 ) ,
according to research. A mother, 56 has a healthy weight, exercises regularly, eats a healthy
diet, doesn’t smoke and only 57 (drink) wine in moderation, is significantly less likely 58
(have) a fat child, scientists say.
And research suggests it could be more to do with nurture(养育) 59 nature, as a mother's
lifestyle appears 60 (direct) linked to the health of her child. When both mother and child
follow a healthy lifestyle, the risk of obesity 61 (reduce)even more, the study of more than
24,000 children found.
The study examined the medical history and lifestyles of more than 24,000 children aged nine
62 fourteen, born to almost 17,000 women in the US. Researchers looked at the link between
overall mother health and likelihood of a child 63 (be) obese.
The mother's health was judged on her height-to-weight ratio( 比 例 ), her diet, amount of
physical 64 (active), smoking status and how much alcohol she drank. A healthy weight and diet,
regular exercise, no smoking and moderate drinking all reduce the chance of a woman having 65
obese child.

What is eco-fashion? Eco-fashion is about making clothes that considers the environment, the
health of consumers and the working conditions of people in the fashion industry.
A closer look at the fashion industry points out many problems that are common practices in the
creation of our fashions from the field to the factory. Firstly, the production of textiles pollutes the
environment heavily. Cotton-planting uses pesticides; sheep-farming and wool-cleaning bring about
global warming. Secondly, every stage of clothing production consumes a great deal of energy and
some also involve chemicals which obviously do harm to the surroundings. In addition, there is a lot
of waste produced in the process, especially in the form of polluted water. Thirdly, growing
purchasing power and our shopping habits further worsen the bad effects. We are now buying
clothes in increasing quantities and we are also quick to throw away clothes that have been worn
only a couple of times.
Then, how to solve the problem? To a large degree, it is the fashion producers that really have
the power and the responsibility to shape our future. There are a great many ways these producers
can reduce their ecological footprint, from switching to green energy and reducing energy use,
through selecting sustainable materials and choosing local suppliers, to recycling and minimizing
waste. On the other hand, as consumers we can all play our part by selecting environmentally
friendly clothing and reducing clothing buying.
There is some concern that eco-friendly fashions are just a trend that we will eventually grow
tired of but we can make sure that doesn’t happen. Now many people are beginning to shop for
organic food products because the benefits of eating food free of chemicals are immediate. They
relate directly to our personal health. In fact, choosing eco-fashion can also do good to our personal health, though it is mostly done by way of keeping the health of the planet.
