第二部分 阅读理解
第一节
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
It's generally believed that people act the way they do because of their personalities and attitudes .They recycle
their garbage because the care about the environment .They pay $5 for a caramel brulée latte because they like
expensive coffee drinks.
It's undeniable that behavior comes from our inner dispositions (性情), but in many instances we also draw
inferences about who we are, as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bem , by observing our own
behavior .We can be strangers to ourselves .If we knew our own minds, why would we need to guess what our
preferences are from our behavior? If our minds were an open book, we would know exactly how much we care about
the environment or like lattes .Actually , we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are.
Moreover, we don't just use our behavior to learn about our particular types of character—we infer characters
that weren't there before .Our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us, which we fail to
recognize .Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disapprove if we didn't .Maybe we buy lattes in
order to impress the people around us .We should not mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result of some
inner disposition.
Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make, people become what they do, though it may not be
in compliance (符合) with their true desires .Therefore , we should all bear in mind Kurt Vonnegut's advice: “We are
what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”

B
One moment it was quiet and calm in the forest, the next, the air was charged with tension. The elephant had heard the distant alarm calls of animals and her mood suddenly changed. I urged the elephant deeper into the forest.
We sounded like a forest fire-crackling, snapping, trailblazing. But through all the noise came a sharp warning cry.
The elephant stopped and we heard it again — the tell-tale call of a spotted deer.
I looked quickly around the shadows of the forest. Rays of sunlight shone through tree branches, beneath which
the patchwork (交错) of green plants and shadows-within-shadows would make tiger stripes (条纹) look more
attractive. Apart from an occasional noise from the elephant’s stomach, the forest was silent.
Gradually, the tension slipped from our bodies. The elephant seized a nearby branch and put it into her mouth. I
reached forward and gently moved my hand over the elephant’s neck; there was a soft part, free of wrinkles and hairs,
behind her ear.
This was my fourth time to sense the aura of the forest in Corbett, although I saw no tigers in the end. Located at
the foot of the Himalayan mountains, Corbett is home to about 135 Bengal tigers, but the forest seemed to be
guarding their whereabouts(出没处), a silent reminder of their secrecy and rarity. Still, I was happy enough touching
the elephant behind the ear. If I had so desperately wanted to see a tiger, I could have gone to a zoo. After all, spotting
tigers merely confirms their beauty; tracking them can make you aware of something more.
5. Which of the following was a clear signal of alarm?
A. The elephant stopped.
B. A spotted deer called.
C. The elephant seized a branch.
D. The forest was silent for a while.
6. The author begins his account of the tour in the forest mainly by ____________.
A. describing various sounds
B. comparing different animals
C. listing different activities
D. introducing various plants
7. What does the underlined part "to sense the aura" most probably mean?
A. To see the diversity.
B. To enjoy the scenery.
C. To feel the atmosphere.
D. To experience the freedom.
8. How does the author feel after several visits to Corbett?
A. Seeing a Bengal tiger is quite thrilling.B. It is very time-consuming to travel in Corbett.
C. It is really worthwhile to study the animals in Corbett.
D. The process of finding Bengal tigers is most appealing.
【答案】5. B 6. A 7. C 8. D
【解析】
试题分析:
本文是一篇记叙文。文章记叙了作者骑着大象在森林追踪老虎的过程和这个过程中的心理体验。
5 题详解】
细节理解题。从第一段 But through all the noise came a sharp warning cry. The elephant stopped and we heard it
again --- the tell-tale call of a spotted deer.一句可知,梅花鹿的鸣叫是“报警”的声音。A、D 两项均是听到“报警”
之后的结果。选择 B。
【6 题详解】
推理判断题。从第一段 distant alarm calls, all the noise, a sharp warning cry 等词语描述可知,作者开头描述了
森林里的各种声音。选择 A。
【7 题详解】
词义猜测题。从上下文可知,作者去森林是为了感受追踪老虎的那份神秘、兴奋和紧张的氛围。所以“to sense
the aura”为“感受气氛”之意。故选择 C 项。
【8 题详解】
推理判断题。文章最后一段 After all, spotting tigers merely confirms their beauty; tracking them can make you
aware of something more.一句告诉我们,在作者看来,真正看见老虎只是证实它们的美,并且直接去动物园
就可以实现这个目的;但是追踪老虎却能带来更多感受,作者真正感兴趣的是这个过程。故选择 D 项。
C
The idea of being able to walk on water has long interested humans greatly. Sadly, biological facts prevent us
ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid---we simply weigh too much, and all our mass pushes down
through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink.
However, several types of animals can walk on water. One of the most interesting is the common basilisk
Basilicus basilicus, a lizard (蜥蜴)native to Central and South America. It can run across water for a distance of
several meters, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the water’s surface with its feet. The lizard will take as many as
20 steps per second to keep moving forward. For humans to do this, we,d need huge feet that we could bring up to
our ears in order to create adequate w hitting. ’’
【But fortunately there is an alternative : cornflour. By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water
(and it does take a lot), you can create a “non-Newtonian” liquid that doesn’t behave like normal water. Now, if the
surface of the water is hit hard enough, particles(粒子)in the water group together for a moment to make the surface
hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can walk across the surface of an
adequately thick Liquid of cornflour.
Fun though all this may sound, it’s still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice.
If you must do it, then keep the water wings handy in case you start to sink--and take a shower afterward!
9. Walking on water hasn’t become a reality mainly because humans______.
A. are not interested in it
B. have biological limitations
C. have not invented proper tools
D. are afraid to make an attempt
10. What do we know about Basilicus basilicus from the passage?
A. It is light enough to walk on water.
B. Its huge feet enable it to stay above water.
C. It can run across water at a certain speed.
D. Its unique skin keeps it from getting wet in water.
11. What is the function of the cornflour according to the passage?
A. To create a thick liquid.
B. To turn the water into solid.
C. To help the liquid behave normally.
D. To enable the water to move rapidly.
12. What is the author’s attitude toward the idea of humans’ walking on water?
A. It is risky but beneficial.
B. It is interesting and worth trying.
C. It is crazy and cannot become a reality.
D. It is impractical though theoretically possible.
【答案】9. B 10. C 11. A 12. D
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇说明文。人类有一个一直感兴趣但一直未能实现的愿望:水上行走。不能实现的原因是“生物性局限”。本文主要介绍了一种理论上可行实际上难以实现的人类水上行走的方法:借助玉米粉(cornflour)
增加水面浓度。
【9 题详解】
细节理解题。从第一段 Sadly, biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid …可
知,人类至今不能在水面行走是“生物”原因。选择 B。
【10 题详解】
细节理解题。从第二段 It can run across water for a distance of several meters, avoiding getting wet by rapidly
hitting the water’s surface with its feet.一句可知,这种蜥蜴能在水面行走是因为速度快(每秒钟达到 20 步)。
选择 C。
【11 题详解】
细节理解题。第三段 this common thickening agent 明确这是一种“常见的增稠剂”。选择 A。
【12 题详解】
推理判断题。从第二段 it does take a lot,最后一段 it’s still rather messy and better read about in theory than
carried out in practice. 等句推断,借助增稠剂实现人类在水面行走,理论上可行但真正实现很难做到。选择 D
项。
【点睛】根据文章中提供的一些事实,再加上自己的常识,透过表面可以看到事物的本质,从而做出合理
准确的判断。比如第 11.小题,推断题。从第二段 it does take a lot,最后一段 it’s still rather messy and better read
about in theory than carried out in practice. 等句推断,借助增稠剂实现人类在水面行走,理论上可行但真正实
现很难做到。选择 D 项。
D
There have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise.Some
people believe that they can't help putting on weight as they get older,while others hold that if they stop
exercising,their muscles will turn into fat.Here are some more myths:
I' ll never lose weight-I come from a fat family
Wrong!While we can't change the body type we are born with we can't blame our genes for making us
fat.There's plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habits of
eating too much and exercising too little.
I am fat because I burn calories slowly
Wrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism(新陈代谢).In fact, although fat people consume more
energy than slim people,they also fail to realize how much they eat!Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily
,food intake more accurately.
Exercise is boring
Wrong!Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively.The key is to develop a balanced and varied
program that's fun as well as progressive.If you enjoy a Sunday walk,take a different route.If you do yoga,try a tai chi
class.If you like swimming,set yourself a distance or time challenge.
No pain,no gain
Wrong!Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you something's wrong, and continuing to
exercise could lead to serious injury.You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly,but this
is your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly.If
they don't,rest and seek medical advice.
13. What does the author think about being fat?
A. It is the family genes that make people fat.
B. People are fat because they consume too little energy.
C. A diary of exercise can prevent people from becoming fat.
D. It is the consequence of people's unbalanced lifestyle.
14. According to the author,how can we make exercise more interesting?
A. By taking varied exercise. B. By choosing simple exercise.
C. By doing regular exercise. D. By sticking to outdoor exercise.
15. What is the author's opinion about "No pain,no gain" in exercising?
A. Keeping fit is essentially a painful experience.
B. Exercise should be stopped if continuous pain is felt.
C. Pain in exercise is a precondition for reaching your goal.
D. Getting used to pain leads to positive changes in your body.
【答案】13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。关于肥胖和锻炼身体,一直有很多被普遍认为是错误的观点。文章主要就一些常见的对
锻炼和肥胖的误区进行了解释说明。
【13 题详解】
细节理解题。根据 I'll never lose weight-I come from a fat family 部分中 There's plenty of evidence that fatness
runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercising too little.可
知有大量证据表明肥胖在家族中遗传,主要原因是他们都有吃得太多、锻炼得太少的共同习惯。由此可知,作者认为肥胖是人们不平衡的生活方式的结果。故选 D。
【14 题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中 Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively.The key is to develop a
balanced and varied program that's fun as well as progressive.If you enjoy a Sunday walk,take a different route.If you
do yoga,try a tai chi class.If you like swimming,set yourself a distance or time challenge.可知任何事情如果你重复
做就会变得无聊。关键是要发展一个平衡和多样化的项目,既有趣又可以进步。如果你喜欢周日散步,选
择一条不同的路线。如果你做瑜伽,那就去上太极课。如果你喜欢游泳,给自己设定一个距离或时间挑战。
由此可知,作者认为我们可以通过各种各样的运动使运动更有趣。故选 A。
【15 题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中 Indeed, pain is your body telling you something's wrong, and continuing to exercise
could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this is your
body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. If they don't,
rest and seek medical advice.可知事实上,疼痛是你的身体在告诉你身体出了问题,继续锻炼可能会导致严重
的伤害。当你开始有规律地锻炼时,你可能会感到轻微的不适,但这是你的身体在适应生活方式的积极变
化,疼痛应该会相对较快地消失。如果没有,休息并寻求医疗建议。由此可推知,作者对“No pain, no
gain”的看法是,锻炼中如果感到持续疼痛,应停止运动。故选 B。

合语境,故选 D。
【19 题详解】

The loud ___2___ filled the room and made them feel very happy.
2. A. voice B. ring C. music D. cry
本题容易误选 A 项 voice,但 voice 是指“嗓音;说话声;歌唱声”,但根据上文内容可知,是指弹奏出来的
爵士乐声,所以应该选 C。

第二节 读后续写
57. 阅读下面短文,然后按照要求写一篇 150 词左右的英语短文
More and more parents are sending their children on"micro-foreign study tours".Parents hope these
tours,typically 10 to 14 days travelling through English-speaking countries such as America or the UK,will help
improve their children's language proficiency as well as provide them with a greater understanding of the local
customs and culture.
But while these tours are"micro"in terms of time,they certainly aren't micro in price.The average tour costs
RMB 30,000!
And just how useful are they?First of all,participating children don't have much time to "study".They typically
attend a few morning lessons then travel to some world-famous universities or scenic spots in the afternoon and on
the weekend.Their exposure to the local culture comes mainly during the time they stay with a local family,usually 2
or 3 days. For the rest of the tour they are with their Chinese classmates,almost always speaking Chinese.And on
some tours, organizers take students,who are often too young to make sensible decisions,on shopping trips where
they're encouraged to buy all kinds of useless"souvenirs".No wonder when they return,most children talk of the"fun
we had",and"places we saw"rather than the"things we learnt".
So some parents are now having second thoughts about the value of these micro-foreign study tours.How much
do they really help their children?Are they worth the money?And finally,are the tours meant for study or just for
pleasure?
【写作内容】
1.以约 30 词概括上文的主要内容。
2.以约 120 词对父母送孩子出国游学的现象进行讨论,内容包括:(1)你是否赞成文中对出国游学的看法?
(2)以你或他人的经历说明你的观点;
(3)如果有机会,你愿意参加什么样的出国游学?
【写作要求】
(1)在作文中可以使用自己亲身的经历或虚构的故事,也可以参照阅读材料的内容但不得直
接引用原文中的句子;
(2)作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。
【评分标准】
概括准确,语言规范,内容合适,篇章连贯。
【答案】This passage talks about micro-foreign study tours and their expected benefits for children. However,
given students' actual experience on such tours, many parents are now guesting their true value.
I think such worries are unnecessary. Travelling abroad, whether for study or pleasure, is a good way for
students to broaden their horizon and become more sophisticated. My friend David went on such a tour, and said it
was the most rewarding experience of his life. He attended a two-week course at Oxford University and then travelled
to different parts of the UK, all of which helped him to learn more about the history,culture and society of Britain. He
was so impressed by the academic atmosphere at Oxford University that he now dreams of studying there in the
future.
My own dream is to travel to America,attend some lectures in my dream school, Harvard University and travel
to different parts of the USA with local students. This way I could have more opportunity to talk in English and learn
about its life and culture.
