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 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Recently I visited a history class at a local, lowperforming high school where students read in
turn from the autobiography of a famous American. The teacher interrupted often with comments
and questions. The 18 students seemed to be into it, but it was such an oldfashioned—I guess to
some educators_approach that I decided to see what other educators thought of it.
Was the read aloud technique bad or good? Was it timewasting or useful? Read these
comments.
“I have observed this most often in high school English classes. During aloud reading, I have observed students becoming absent-minded from the teaching. While this may be a proper way for
some teaching points, such as pronunciation, stress, fluency, when done for expediency (权宜), I
find reading aloud to be ineffective.” —Steve Johnson
“We don’t encourage using a lot of teaching time to read aloud in high school English classes.
Reading aloud selected passages that are especially difficult or rich in meaning is a frequent practice,
but the focus is on the discussion over the text rather than the reading. Another typical use of reading
aloud is when the class is reading a drama, especially a Shakespeare play, but our advice is for
students to read after preparation rather than doing a cold reading.”
—Jim Fliakas
“We encourage a method that students practice reading independently, to increase their own
fluency and understanding. This is done before sharing ideas with a partner, a group, or with the
entire class. This method improves their understanding of the texts which are guided by the teacher.”
—Dave Levin
It all depends on the conditions, the students, the goal of the lesson and the style of the teacher.
21．In the opinion of Steve Johnson, reading aloud ________.
A．may cause students to lose concentration
B． is always useful for a particular purpose
C．is a good way to involve every student
D．is ineffective in developing students’ fluency
22．By saying “doing a cold reading”, Fliakas meant _______.
A．reading something uninteresting
B．reading without preparation
C．reading in a cold environment
D．reading while having a cold
23．What is the author’s attitude towards reading aloud technique?
A．Doubtful. B．Supportive. C．Worried. D．Objective.
B
Rock and roll music developed in the United States in the early nineteen-fifties. It was
based on the music called rhythm and blues that was performed by African American musicians.
Early rock and roll singers developed their own kinds of music. Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, the Beach Boys, and Bob Dylan were the most popular rock and roll musicians in the early 1960s. All
were American. Then, in 1964, a new rock and roll group from England invaded America: the
Beatles.
Some people say the Beatles’ music shook America like an earthquake. The Beatles changed
rock and roll forever. Their early songs were influenced by American rock and roll musicians,
including Chuck Berry. But the Beatles looked different and sounded different from any musical
group before them.
The Beatles released their first album in the United States in 1964, when all of the top five
records in America were by the Beatles. In 1967, they released an album called “Sergeant Pepper’s
Lonely Hearts Club Band.” It was one of the first “concept” albums. That is, all the songs were
linked by a common story or idea.
The popularity of the Beatles led the way for more rock and roll bands from England to become
popular in America. The Rolling Stones was the most important of these bands. The Rolling Stones
is one of the few groups from the 1960s that is still performing and recording today. In 1965, the
group recorded one of its most famous songs, “Satisfaction”.
By the 1970s, rock and roll music became known as rock music. Experts say rock music
regained some of the energy of early rock and roll. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band became
popular with their album “Born to Run”. Springsteen’s music was like the lively rock and roll music
of the early nineteen-sixties. Many of his songs were about social issues. He sang about the effects
of unemployment and the war in Vietnam.
24．The main topic of this passage is _______.
A．the history of American music
B．the development of rock and roll music
C．the famous rock and roll groups
D．the new forms of rock and roll music
25．What does “the Beatles’ music shook America like an earthquake” mean?
A．The Beatle’s music was as violent as an earthquake in America.
B．the Beatles looked differently because an earthquake hit America.
C．The Beatle’s music had great effect on the rock and roll music in America.
D．The Beatle’s music were greatly influenced by American rock and roll music.26．Whose songs were mainly about social problems like unemployment and war?
A．Elvis Presley’s. B．Bob Dylan’s.
C．Chuck Berry’s. D．Springsteen’s.
27．From the passage, we can know that _______.
A．one of the Rolling Stones’ albums was called “concept”
B．all of the top five records in America were by the Beatles in 1964
C．the Rolling Stones was the only band that became popular in America
D．all the most popular rock and roll musicians in the 1960s were American

way. If things get worse they might not be able to focus on their studies. They might give up on life.

Why do some people live to be older than others? You know the standard explanations:
keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc. But what effect does your personality
have on your longevity? Do some kinds of personalities lead to longer lives? A new study in the
Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality
characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.
The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic
（神经质的）than other people. Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and
cooperative than women with a normal life span. These findings are in agreement with what you
would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to make friends and help others can
gather enough resources to make it through tough times.
Interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no
impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more
self-disciplined, for instance, were no more likely to live to be very old. Also, being open to new
ideas had no relationship to long life, which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who
are fixed in their ways.
Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a
longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should
strive to be as outgoing as possible.Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mother's personality may also help
determine your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that
those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids
unhealthy diets. Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when we're adults, which may
mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger.
Personality isn't destiny, and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. But both
studies show that long life isn't just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.
32．What finding of the study might be out of our expectation?________.
A．Helpful people can live a relatively long life.
B．Being self-disciplined makes no difference to longevity.
C．Readiness to accept new ideas offers more possibility to enjoy longevity.
D．Personality characteristics that prove advantageous actually vary with times.
33．What does the recent study of Norwegian mothers show?
A．Mothers' anxiety may affect their children's life spans.
B．People with unhealthy eating habits are likely to die at a young age.
C．Mothers may have a longer influence on children than fathers.
D．Children's personality characteristics are always shaped by their mothers.
34．What can we learn from the findings of the two new studies?
A．Anxiety and depression more often than not cut short one's life span.
B．A person’s lifestyle is largely related to his or her health.
C．Personality plays a decisive and significant role in how healthy one is.
D．A mixture of mental and physical health produces longevity.
35．According to the author, outgoing and sympathetic people __________
A．have a good understanding of evolution.
B．are probably more active and neurotic.
C．are more likely to recover from hardship.
D．generally appear more resourceful.

Though great progress has been made in science these years, but there are still many people
lived in poor conditions. They make their living by collecting and selling used thing. Their children
cannot go to school because they have not enough money to send their children to there. Why you
think so many people still suffer from poverty now? The answer lies on the population explosion. A
president of a developing country once say: “It is us who are to blame for the poverty because we
used to ’produce’ children without limit.” Although this few words sound simple enough, they have
clear pointed out one of the causes of the population explosion.

Dear Simon,
I am glad to learn that you will visit China this summer.
You want to visit just a few beautiful cities in China. I suggest you should travel to Beijing and
Nanjing, because these two cities have well preserved traditional Chinese culture and have numerous
places of interest. Beijing is now the capital of China, which lies in North China, and Nanjing, a
large city on the Yangtze River in South China, used to be where quite a few dynasties founded their
capital. I believe you will enjoy these two ancient and modern cities. If time permits, you can as well
visit another modern large city Shanghai, which is very near Nanjing.
Hoping to hear from you soon.Yours,
Li Hua
