第二部分: 阅读理解(共两节,满分 35 分)
第一节(共 10 小题; 每小题 2.5 分,满分 25 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。A
A popular saying goes,“Sticks and stones may break my bones,but words will
never hurt me.”However,that's not really true.Words have the power to build us up or
tear us down. It doesn't matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves—the
positive and negative effects are just as lasting.
We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We're usually too embarrassed to admit it,
though. In fact,we really shouldn't be because more and more experts believe talking to
ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.
This “ self talk ” helps us motivate ourselves , remember things , solve
problems,and calm ourselves down. Be aware,though,that as much as 77% of selftalk
tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive , we should only speak words of
encouragement to ourselves.We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the
back.The next time you finish a project,do well in a test,or finally clean your room,
join me in saying“Good job!”
Often,words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will
have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For
example,when returning an item to a store,we might use warm,friendly language
during the exchange.And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or
harsh(刻薄的)and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.
Words possess power because of their lasting effects.Many of us regret something
we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us!Before speaking,we should
always ask ourselves : Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say
doesn't pass this test,then it's better left unsaid.
Words possess power : both positive and negative. Those around us receive
encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build selfesteem(自尊)
and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we
use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.
21.Why should we not feel embarrassed when talking to ourselves?
A.Talking to ourselves is believed to be good for our health.
B.It does harm to have “selftalk” when we are alone.
C.Talking to ourselves helps us to solve all the problems.
D.Almost everybody has the habit of talking to oneself.
22 . The underlined phrase “give ourselves a pat on the back” in Paragraph 3
means“ ”.
A.blame ourselves
B.punish ourselves
C.talk to ourselvesD.praise ourselves
23.Which of the following statements would the author agree to?
A.It is impossible for unkind words to be forgotten.
B.It is better to think twice before talking to others.
C.Words always possess long positive effects.
D.Kind words are sometimes not needed at all.
B
Our mother earth is going through a very tough situation and we, the entire human
race, are destroying our environment or unconsciously without even realizing its
consequences.Now we have to act very smartly and plan something to sustain(持续)
what we still have, getting all necessary support from nature to lead healthy lives.
Gardening is always an excellent and environmentally friendly idea.If you can go
for sustainable gardening, then it will be even more useful for all.Gardening is a favorite
hobby for many.It is time to channelize your hobby towards a more meaningful
motivation.
When we do gardening we need to use different ingredients to grow plants.Some
of them are natural resources like water, soil, sunshine, and many things like this.Using
these resources smartly is a part of sustainable gardening.Some simple techniques
include: use less water and organic things to grow plants; try to store rainwater so that
you can use them for gardening; try using less energy to drive devices; avoid using
plastics in any form while gardening; reuse the leaves from your garden to fertilize
them.These are the basic sustainable measures.To do so we need to have proper
knowledge about gardening and its requirements so that we can use proper resources
without wasting any of them.
In today's busy life we don't get much time to spend on our environment.Gardening
gives us a chance to do so.We can also have some pesticidefree and fresh food if we
grow them in our garden.This is the right time to do some good to protect our own
environment and gardening is one of the easiest ways.Do you want to start gardening,
but you're not sure how? Click here:http://www.gardenhowto.com.
24.Which of the following belongs to a sustainable measure?
A.Using advanced electrical machines.
B.Avoiding fertilizers.
C.Watering plants with collected rainwater.
D.Clearing away the leaves.
25.What is the benefit of sustainable gardening?
A.It requires little water. B.It needs no fertilizer.C.It breaks up plastics. D.It doesn't waste any resource.
26.Where is the passage probably taken from?
A.A newspaper. B.The Internet.
C.A guidebook. D.A science report.
C
Patients in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease often struggle to remember
recently learned information, meaning they forget things like important appointments or
where they left their keys. But it seems that these memories are not lost. They are still
filed away in the brain somewhere; they just can't be easily accessed.
Now, researchers at MIT(麻省理工学院) have developed a means of getting
back memories in mice suffering from Alzheimer's. The method relies on a technique
that uses light to control genetically modified neurons (转基因神经元). Currently it is
too early to be used in human trials as it involves inserting light emitting ( 发 光 )
equipment into the subjects' brains, but the same principles still apply, the researchers
said.
“The important point is that this is evidence of concept. That is, even if a memory
seems to be gone, it is still there. It's a matter of how to get it back,” said senior
researcher Susumu Tonegawa.
The team took two groups of mice, one genetically engineered to develop
Alzheimer's and one healthy. They then placed them into a room and gave them a mild
electric shock. All of the mice showed fear when put back in an hour later. When placed
in the room a third time several days later, the Alzheimer's mice acted normally. They
had forgotten the shock.
The researchers were then able to bring back the memory of the shock by
activating ( 激 活 ) the cells in which the memories were stored. Even when the mice
were put into an unfamiliar room, they showed fear when the cells associated with the
shock were activated.
“Shortterm memory seems to be normal, on the order of hours. But for longterm
memory, these early Alzheimer's mice seem to be damaged,” said lead researcher
Dheeraj Roy. “Directly activating the cells that we believe are holding the memory
helps them get it back. This suggests that it is indeed an access problem to the
information, not that they're unable to learn or store this memory.”
27.What can we learn about the researchers at MIT?
A.They are the pioneers of brain research.
B.They have used the method in human trials.
C.They can cure Alzheimer's using the new method.
D.They can get back memories in mice with Alzheimer's.28.Why did the Alzheimer's mice behave normally a third time?
A.They failed to remember the electric shock.
B.They were accustomed to the situation.
C.They managed to overcome the fear.
D.They activated the association automatically.
29.For longterm memory, the early Alzheimer's mice ________.
A.can transform their brain cells
B.can't learn new tricks well
C.can easily get back their memory
D.can't access the information stored
30.The main purpose of the text is to ________.
A.introduce a method of a research
B.report the latest discovery about a disease
C.give advice on how to improve memory
D.explain how the brain stores information

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有
两项为多余选项。
Everybody gets angry, but outofcontrol anger isn’t good for you or those around
you.So here are five simple strategies to help you learn how to manage your anger:
※ Relax. Breathe deeply, from your stomach.__31__ Repeat it to yourself and
visualize a relaxing time and experience.
※ Change the way you think.When you’re angry, your thinking can get
exaggerated ( 夸 大 的 ) . __32__ For instance, instead of telling yourself, “Oh, it’s
terrible! Everything’s ruined,”tell yourself, “It’s understandable that I’m upset about it,
but it’s not the end of the world.”
※ __33__. Statements like “This never works.” or “You’re always forgetting
things.” will make you feel your anger is justified (情有可原的) and there’s no way to
solve the problem.They might upset people who might be willing to work with you on a
solution.
※ Have a better communication. Angry people tend to jump to conclusions.If
you are in a heated discussion, slow down.__34__ And take your time before
answering.Instead of saying the first thing that comes into your head, think carefully
about what you want to say.
※ Use humor. Psychologists say that highly angry people tend to think “things
ought to go my way!” “Silly humor” can help you get a more balanced perspective. So,
when you feel that anger coming the next time, picture yourself as a king or queen, walking around, admired by everybody, and getting your own way in every
situation.The more detail you can get into your imaginary scenes, the more likely it is to
put a smile on your face.__35__
A.Be careful with words like “never” or “always”.
B.Listen carefully to what the other person is saying.
C.Try replacing these thoughts with more reasonable ones.
D.Avoid using these strategies when you’re in a tense situation.
E.Then slowly repeat a calm word or phrase such as “take it easy”.
F.Try changing the topics so your talks won’t turn into arguments.
G.That will help you realize that the things you’re angry about are really not very
important.

challenge — but for Tim Borland, it's just __36__.
Borland, a 31yearold personal trainer, 37 completed an athletic challenge:
63 marathons in 63 days. But Borland wasn't __38__ to this by the spirit of
competition.He didn't care about winning the races — his only __39__ was to raise
money for children who get AT, a rare children's disease.

__41__ his life. “She taught me what we should do in this world, and how to appreciate
and be __42__ for all that we have.”__43__ by Achilles, he decided to help children
with the disease by doing what he did best: running.
As a personal trainer, Borland has always been an enthusiastic runner and athlete.
__44__ a 63day run would require more endurance ( 耐 力 ) than usual. To __45__
himself, he increased his daily runs from 15 to 30 miles a day five days a week. All the
__46__ later proved to be __47__ when he began running.“The run was very __48__ at
the very beginning,” says Borland. “But gradually I began to feel much easier.”
Borland began his __49__ on Labor Day, travelling across the country, and __50__
in November. He ran more than 1,650 miles in 26 states. And his great __51__ have
raised $2 million. However, Borland won't take all the credit for it. He received a lot of
__52__ along the way. And the biggest inspiration ( 鼓 舞 ) __53__ the children
themselves. In many cities, children with AT would __54__ in their wheelchairs while
Borland ran.

“I’m going to miss you so much, Poppy,” said the tall, thin teenager. He bent down
to hug his old friend goodbye. He stood up, hugged his parents, and smiled, trying not
to let his emotions (情绪) get the better of him.
His parents were not quite able to keep theirs under control. They had driven their
son several hours out of town to the university where he would soon be living and
studying. It was time to say goodbye for now at least. The family hugged and smiled
through misty eyes and then laughed.
The boy lifted the last bag onto his shoulder, and flashed a bright smile. “I guess
this is it.” he said. “I’ll see you back home in a month, okay?” His parents nodded, and
they watched as he walked out of sight into the crowds of hundreds of students and
parents. The boy’s mother turned to the dog, “Okay, Poppy, time to go back home.”
The house seemed quiet as a tomb without the boy living there. All that week,
Poppy didn’t seem interested in her dinner, her favorite toy, or even in her daily walk.
Her owners were sad too, but they knew their son would be back to visit, Poppy didn’t.They offered the dog some of her favorite peanut butter treats. They even let her sit
on the sofa, but the old girl just wasn’t her usual cheerful self. Her owners
started to get worried, “What should we do to cheer Poppy up?” asked Dad.
“We’ve tried everything.”
“I have an idea, but it might be a little crazy,” smiled Mom. “Without
anybody left in the house but us, this place could use a bit of fun. Let’s get a
little dog for Poppy.”
It didn’t take long before they walked through the front door carrying a
big box. Poppy welcomed them home as usual, but when she saw the box,
she stopped. She put her nose on it. Her tail began wagging ( 摆动) ever so
slowly, then faster as she caught the smell.

Dear George,
There will be a Chinese speech contest for foreign students in our school. I’d like
to invite you to compete in it, because this is a good chance for you to show how well
you’ve learned Chinese. It will take place in the school hall from 9:00 to 12:00 on the
morning of January 18. The topic is “Traditional Chinese Culture”. If you are interested,
sign up on our school website www.ycshool.com before January 10.
I’m looking forward to your reply.
Dad opened the box and a sweet little dog appeared. Poppy jumped with joy at the
sight of the little dog. She lowered her head to watch it curiously. Then she became so
excited that she accidentally knocked over the box in an attempt to get closer. With the
box tipping over, out came the little one, who was not shy and instantly got familiar
with Poppy. It didn’t take long before the two played around the house, cheerfully
running after each other.
A few weeks later, the boy arrived home from the university. He had been missing
his parents and the dog since it was the first time that he had been away from home for
such a long time. When the boy caught sight of Poppy, he went rushing toward the dog
and bent down to give her a big hug. Suddenly, the boy noticed the little dog. “Oh my
god, who is this?” His parents laughed at the look of surprise on his face. “It’s Poppy’s new
companion.” said Mom. (155)
