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
Every week in China, millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers
compete for the title Character Hero, which is a Chinese•style spelling bee(拼写大赛). In this
challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the
competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.
Perhaps the show’s popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper,
many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy(书法) to be one of their
primary contributions. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to
write their own language without computerized help. Software on smart phones and computers
allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet(字母). The correct
character is chosen from a list. The result? It’s possible to recognize characters without
remembering how to write them.
But there’s still hope for the paint brush. China’s Education Ministry wants children to spend
more time learning how to write.
In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a
specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music
plays as a group of six•year•olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard
often to study their teacher’s examples before carefully trying to reproduce those characters on
thin rice paper. “If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now?” we
ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. “The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition
and culture,” she reasons. “Students must learn now so they don’t forget when they grow up.” says
the teacher.
21. What can we learn about the Character Hero?
A. It draws great public attention across the country.
B. It’s the mostviewed TV programs in the world.
C. It means to spread Chinese culture to the world.
D. It’s open to people of all ages and all walks.
22. Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters?
A. Chinese people don’t refer to dictionaries very often.
B. Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy.
C. Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.
D. Chinese people needn’t write by hand as often with the help of technology.
23. According to Shen Bin, being able to write characters by hand is ________.
A. necessary for adults to survive in China
B. a requirement made by the Education Ministry
C. helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture alive D. an ability to be developed only when you are students
B
When I was about 4 years old，I decided to go to Disney World．For most young kids，it's a
normal request，but I had cerebral palsy(脑瘫)．Walking into anywhere，let alone a crowded place
like Disney World was, to put it lightly, a tall order. Luckily，I had people in my corner to help
me．Over the next three years，I worked with physical doctors，acquired a walker，and practiced
walking，standing，and balance—all skills that I would need to turn my goal into a reality．
I remember the feeling when my legs would protest doing any more work．Despite this，
everyone else told me I could do it，so I kept it up．It was all because of people like my parents，
brothers，teachers，and doctors that I was able to grow so much，both physically and
mentally．Constantly pushing me to “walk on,” yet encouraging me whenever I needed it．
On June 9，2008，as I stood in the tunnel leading into Main Street，My dad asked me if I
wanted any help．I instantly replied，“No!” and situated myself facing the end of the tunnel，feet
planted firmly，heart most likely beating out of my chest．Then I went，walking ever so slowly at
first，then gradually speeding up．Step，step，step，step，bump．Holding fast onto the handlebars，
I gathered up all my strength，picked up my walker and straightened out，picking up my pace once
again．It wasn’t too long before the cheering increased because I had made it to the end，where my
mom was waiting with tears in her eyes and arms open wide ready to hug her son and tell him how
proud she was．
Looking back on that experience，I realize something pretty thoughtful．Every once in a
while，life will throw a few bumps in the road．Though it may set you back for a bit，don’t let it
stop you．Pick yourself back up and finish．It’s worth it．Besides，there just might be someone
there cheering you on along the way．
24．Which of the following best explains “a tall order” underlined in paragraph 1 ?
A．An easy decision． B．An available action．
C．A reasonable order． D．A challenging task．
25．Why does the author say he’s lucky?
A．He eventually has his brain disease well cured．
B．He constantly gets courage and support from others．
C．He is likely to do any kind of work in his later life．
D．He is naturally gifted in keeping balance on his own．
26．The author gives a vivid picture of himself in paragraph 3 to______.
A．explain he was terrified to take the first step
B．describe he took pride in his mother and friends
C．show how he managed to walk by himself
D．prove how he understood to respect others
27．What can be the best title of the text?
A．Where Dreams Come True B．When Bad Fortune Falls
C．How I Value Friendship D．Why I Look Back My Life
C
While dog keepers realize their dogs can read their moods accurately, scientists
have always been a little doubtful. Now thanks to some researchers at the University
of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, Austria, we finally have some convincing evidence. For their study, biologist Corson Miller and his team exposed twelve selected
dogs to digital images of women that were either angry or happy. Half the dogs were
rewarded for touching the screen when shown a happy face, while the other half got
their treat for selecting those that appeared angry.
Interestingly, the dogs were not provided with the entire face. Some dogs were
shown only upper halves while the others observed lower halves. That’s because the
scientists believe humans show their emotions on their entire face.
After some training like how to recognize small differences like the wrinkles
between the eyes or the changes in their shape that accompany the happy or angry
expressions, the dogs were mostly able to identify the correct expression not only on a
familiar face but on a strange face. The researchers concluded the dogs were smart
enough to read human emotions.
They also found those being trained to read angry expressions took a longer time
to learn. They guess it may be because dogs find angry faces disgusting, causing them
to withdraw quickly. However, once the smart dogs realized they were getting
rewarded, the trepidation seemed to disappear. In fact, the dogs had such a good time
playing the computer "game" that scientists had a hard time keeping them away from
the touch screens after the study was completed.
The researchers also noticed only dogs with a male owner had a harder time
understanding the expressions correctly. Since the touchscreen models were all
females, this confirmed what has been observed in previous studies—dogs are more
efficient at reading facial expressions of people that are the same gender as their
owner.
28. How did the scientists conduct the experiment?
A. By mixing the selected dogs together.
B. By leaving dogs to women who are either happy or angry.
C. By showing digital pictures of women’s happy or angry faces.
D. By rewarding only half of the dogs touching the screen.
29. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the dogs in the study?
A. The dogs were not all provided with the entire face. B. The dogs couldn’t read strangers’ facial emotions.
C. According to their size, the dogs were given either upper or lower halves.
D. The dogs could make out small changes accompanying facial expressions.
30. The underlined word "trepidation" in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A. curiosity B. horror C. excitement D. doubt
31. How might the results change if the dogs with female owners are shown pictures
of male faces?
A. They would be scared away at the sight of the pictures.
B. They found it easy to tell the emotions on the entire face.
C. They could only tell emotions on partial faces rather than on entire faces.
D. They found it hard to tell the moods on the faces of a different gender.
D
Looking fashionable feels good. However, did you know that doing so could be
extremely bad for the planet?
Making clothes requires lots of energy. For example, cotton fields have to be
watered. Jeans must be dyed (染色) and then dried. According to scientists, making 1
kilogram of clothes produces 23 kilograms of greenhouse gases on average.
However, clothes are spending less time in shops and at homes than ever.
Consumers today keep almost every article of clothing only half as long as they did
15 years ago. That causes a large amount of waste.
Some clothing companies and designers have realized this problem. H & M, for
example, was the world’s largest buyer of “better cotton” last year. The cotton needs
less water to grow. It also requires fewer pesticides (农药). The Swedish brand has
also stopped using a chemical that pollutes the environment when making waterproof
(防水的) clothes. Nike, meanwhile, has invented a new method of making shoes. It
reduces waste by 60 percent compared with traditional cutting and sewing.
More long lasting clothes could help, too. Tom Cridland is a British designer.
The clothes that he designs all go through a special treatment. Cridland says they can
last more than 30 years. Unfortunately, not all clothing companies and designers, think they should be
responsible for the environment. Some companies do not care about their carbon
footprint at all.
What can we do? In some western schools, students are encouraged to fix their
jackets and trousers. Clothing companies there send vans to campuses to help them do
it. Another solution is to think twice the next time we buy new clothes. Some clothes
may not look very fashionable, but they could be good for our planet.
32. According to the passage, making 50 kilograms of clothes produces about
________kilograms of greenhouse gases.
A. 23. B. 115. C. 230 D. 1,150.
33. What is the difference between “better cotton” and traditional cotton?
A. “Better cotton” can grow without water.
B. “Better cotton” grows faster than traditional cotton.
C. “Better cotton” is more productive than traditional cotton.
D. “Better cotton” is more environmentally friendly.
34. In order to protect the environment, what have some clothing companies and
designers been doing?
① Using new material. ② Helping students mend clothes.
③ Measuring their carbon footprint. ④ Designing clothes that can last longer.
A.①②③ B.①②④ C.①③④ D.②③④
35. What does the author advise us to do in order to help protect the environment?
A. To stop buying clothes;
B. To wear fewer clothes at home.
C. To ask clothing companies for help when our clothes are torn.
D. To buy clothes made by companies that care about their carbon footprint.

Penguins are flightless birds that spend half their time on land and half in the
water． 36 They have dark and white feathers, and their wings have evolved into
flippers(脚蹼)．Most penguins feed on fish, squid and other forms of sea life caught
while swimming．
37 They are mostly found in groups that include thousands of penguins.
Penguins each have their own unique mating call, and they use that to locate their
mate and chicks in such a large group．
Although almost all penguin species are native to the Southern Hemisphere, they
are not found only in cold Antarctica． 38 Several species are even found in the
temperate zone, and one species, the Galátpagos penguin, lives near the equator(赤
道)．
Unfortunately, many penguin species worldwide are facing threats. The biggest
is climate change and global warming. As the earth warms up, the sheets of ice have
melted, and the algae(藻类) that grow under the ice decrease. The algae are eaten by
tiny creatures called zooplankton. When there is a drop in zooplankton it affects the
fish that depends on it． 39
Another major threat is from oil spills. If coated with oil, penguins cannot float
or swim in water. Also, if oil is swallowed, penguins will die from poison． 40
A．These birds are very social．
B．In fact, only a few of them live so far south．
C．Penguins are highly adapted for life in the water．
D．The biggest threat for penguins comes from humans．
E．They have a tendency to live in a community together．
F．As a result, penguins have less fish to eat and thus starve．
G．Others include overfishing, illegal egg harvesting, and natural enemies．

I sat down at my desk and started writing a letter of thankfulness, but when it came to
actually putting the letter into the mailbox... I 41 ...I couldn’t do it. I suddenly felt a sense of
42 and insecurity (不安).
The letter was to an old teacher with whom I kept in 43 on Facebook. For months, I
read about what she 44 on her Facebook page, which helped me to live my life differently.

note 54 a lot to her. She said she had no idea she was playing such a big 55 in others’

56 level of happiness as well. I was so 57 that it had such a great influence on her that I
decided to write a(n) 58 letter to someone each month. Now it’s easier for me to 59 the
goodness in others and be more 60 for this beautiful life I’m living.
