When my family moved to Ohio over the summer, I feared attending another new school and knowing no one because I was able to expect what was coming. I had bright red hair and enormous glasses. In addition, I was 11 and not very sociable.

第二部分 阅读理解 （共两节，满分50分）
第一节 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。（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
Wesla Whitfield, a famous jazz singer, has a unique style and life story, so I decided to see one of her performances and interview her for my column.
I went to a nightclub in New York and watched the stage lights go up. After the band played an introduction, Wesla Whitfield wheeled herself onstage in a wheelchair. As she sang, Whitfield’s voice was so powerful and soulful that everyone in the room forgot the wheelchair was even there.
At 57, Whitfield is small and pretty, witty and humble, persistent and philosophical. Raised in California, Whitfield began performing in public at age 18, when she took a job as a singing waitress at a pizza parlor. After studying classical music in college, she moved to San Francisco and went on to sing with the San Francisco Opera Chorus.
Walking home from a party at age 29, she was caught in a random (偶然的) shooting that left her paralyzed (瘫痪) from the waist down. I asked how she dealt with the realization that she’d never walk again, and she admitted that initially she didn’t want to face it. After a year of depression (沮丧) she tried to kill herself. She was then admitted to a hospital for treatment, where she was able to recover.
Whitfield said she came to understand that the only thing she had lost in this misfortunate event was the ability to walk. She still possessed her most valuable thing - her mind. Pointing to her head, she said, “Everything important is in here. The only real disability in life is losing your mind.” When I asked if she was angry about what she had lost, she admitted to being disappointed occasionally, “especially when everybody’s dancing, because I love to dance. But when that happens I just remove myself so I can focus instead on what I can do.”
31. In which of the following places has Wesla Whitfield worked?
A. A college. B. A hospital.
C. A pizza parlor. D. A TV station.
32. Which of the following statements is true about Wesla Whitfield’s physical disability?
A. It was caused by a traffic accident.
B. It made her sad and depressed at first.
C. It seriously affected her singing career.
D. It happened when she was a college student.
33. What does “when that happens” mean in the last paragraph?
A. When Wesla is losing her mind.
B. When Wesla is singing on the stage.
C. When Wesla is going out in her wheelchair.
D. When Wesla is watching other people dancing.
34. What advice would Wesla most likely give other disabled people?
A. Ignore what you have lost and make the best use of what you have.
B. Be modest and hard-working to earn respect from other people.
C. Learn a skill so that you can still be successful and famous.
D. Try to sing whenever you feel upset and depressed.
B
The rising costs of health care have become a problem for many countries in the world. To deal with this problem, it is recommended that a big part of the government’s health budget (预算) be used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment. Actually, many kinds of diseases are preventable in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it. For example, people could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold. But many people get sick because they fail to do so, and have to spend money seeing a doctor.
Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming bankrupt if the patients had taken measures for early prevention. For instance, keeping a balanced diet, such as not consuming too much animal fat and insuring a steady intake of vegetables and fruits, seems to be quite important.
One very effective and costless way of prevention is regular exercise, which is necessary for a healthy mind and body. Regular exercise, such as running, walking, and playing sports is a good way to make people feel better and reduce stress.
In addition, health education plays a key role in improving people’s health. By giving people more information about health, countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevention and ways to achieve it. For example, knowing one’s family medical history is an effective way to help keep healthy. Information about health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what they should do to prevent certain diseases through lifestyle changes, which will work before it is too late.
However, stressing disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant. After all, prevention and treatment are just two different means toward the same effect. In conclusion, we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on health prevention and education.
35. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Prevention or Education B. Prevention or Treatment
C. Health or Illness D. Exercise or Illness
36. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “bankrupt”?
A. Unable to be cured. B. Stronger than ever before.
C. Unable to pay one’s debts. D. More successful than ever before.
37. We learn from the passage that ______.
A. the more health education, the better
B. dressing warmly can prevent disease
C. a balanced diet is cheaper than regular exercise
D. the government’s health budget should be increased
38. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
(CP - Central Point P - point Sp - Sub - point次要点 C - Conclusion)
A B C D

Forks trace their origins back to the ancient Greeks. Forks at that time were fairly large with two tines (叉) that aided in the cutting of meat in the kitchen. The tines prevented meat from twisting or moving during cutting and allowed food to slide off more easily than it would with a knife.
By the 7th century A.D., royal courts of the Middle East began to use forks at the table for dining. From the 10th through the 13th centuries, forks were fairly common among the wealthy in Byzantium. In the 11th century, a Byzantine wife brought forks to Italy; however, they were not widely adopted there until the 16th century. Then in 1533, forks were brought from Italy to France. The French were also slow to accept forks, for using them was thought to be awkward.
In 1608, forks were brought to England by Thomas Coryate, who saw them during his travels in Italy. The English first ridiculed (嘲笑) forks as being unnecessary. “Why should a person need a fork when God had given him hands?” they asked. Slowly, however, forks came to be adopted by the wealthy as a symbol of their social status. They were prized possessions made of expensive materials intended to impress guests. By the mid 1600s, eating with forks was considered fashionable among the wealthy British.
Early table forks were modeled after kitchen forks, but small pieces of food often fell through the two tines or slipped off easily. In late 17th century France, larger forks with four curved tines were developed. The additional tines made diners less likely to drop food, and the curved tines served as a scoop (勺) so people did not have to constantly switch to a spoon while eating. By the early 19th century, four-tined forks had also been developed in Germany and England and slowly began to spread to America.
39. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The different designs of forks.
B. The spread of fork-aided cooking.
C. The history of using forks for dining.
D. The development of fork-related table manners.
40. In which way did the use of forks spread?
A. Middle EastàGreeceàEnglandàItalyàFrance
B. GreeceàMiddle EastàItalyàFranceàEngland
C. GreeceàMiddle EastàFranceàItalyàGermany
D. Middle EastàFranceàEnglandàItalyàGermany
41. How did forks become popular in England?
A. Wealthy British were impressed by the design of forks.
B. Wealthy British thought it awkward to use their hands to eat.
C. Wealthy British gave special forks to the nobles as luxurious gifts.
D. Wealthy British considered dining with forks a sign of social status.
42. Why were forks made into a curved shape?
A. They could be used to scoop food as well.
B. They looked more fashionable in this way.
C. They were designed in this way for export to the US.
D. They ensured the meat would not twist while being cut.
D
Tough new rules for pubs and clubs - including a ban on drinking games like the infamous “dentist’s chair” - will be introduced in Britain this year in a bid to prevent the heavy drinking culture that costs the country billions of pounds a year.
Other promotions like “all you can drink for 10 pounds”, speed drinking competitions and “women drink free” nights will also be forbidden.
But on the other hand, a large amount of offers of cheap alcohol in supermarkets - widely regarded as one of the main sources of Britain’s problems with under-age and excessive (过度的) drinking - will not be affected.
Doctors and health experts argue that the government has failed to use its most effective weapon, the taxation of minimum price controls on alcohol.
Home Secretary Alan Johnson said he did not want to target responsible drinkers on low incomes, but that the government and the industry had a duty to act on heavy drinking.
“These practices have a real impact on society, not to mention the lives of those who just want to enjoy a good night out.” he said.
The “dentist’s chair”, where drinks are poured directly into the mouth by others, was made famous by the celebrations of footballer Paul Gascoigne. That game and others that promote mass consumption (消费) will be banned from April and publicans (酒店老板) will have to ensure free tap water is made available to the drinkers.
A second set of rules enforcing compulsory ID checks and making sure smaller alcoholic measures are on sale will come into effect in October.
The government says excessive drinking costs Britain up to 12 billion pounds a year and has announced that any pubs that go against the new rule will face severe punishment.
Publicans and vendors (小贩) could lose their licenses, be fined up to 20,000 pounds or face six months in prison.
43. New rules for pubs and clubs will be introduced in Britain to ban heavy drinking because ______.
A. people drink too much without paying taxes
B. drinking in the country costs too much
C. drinking competitions are very crazy
D. drinking games are infamous
44. Some people believe that when the tough new rules come into effect, ______.
A. supermarkets will stop selling alcohol in low prices
B. “women drink free” nights will not be closed
C. under-age people will not continue drinking
D. excessive drinking will not be stopped
45. According to the passage, the “dentist’s chair” is ______.
A. to be banned in October
B. a way to promote mass consumption of alcohol
C. a chair seated on by the patient whose teeth should be treated
D. a drinking game made famous by the celebrations of footballer Paul Gascoigne
46. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Heavy drinking will be banned in Britain.
B. 12 billion pounds is spent on drinking.
C. Drinking in Britain will be banned.
D. Excessive drinking will be taxed.

On March 28th, the New York Times will begin charging all but the most infrequent users to read articles online.
In a letter to readers, Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., the publisher of the paper, laid out the details of the paywall, which he said will go into effect immediately in Canada and on March 28th for the rest of the world. He called the move “an important step that we hope you will see as an investment (投资) in The Times, one that will strengthen our ability to provide high-quality journalism to readers around the world and on any platform.”
Sulzberger said that readers will be able to read 20 articles per month at no charge. Once they click on the 21st piece, however, they’ll be presented with three payment options: $15 for four weeks of online and mobile application access, $20 for access to the site and the iPad application, or $35 for access to everything. People who already receive the printed paper through home delivery will enjoy free and unlimited access to the Times on all platforms.
These details largely agree with earlier reports on how the paywall would work. The Times had made it clear that it did not want to imitate the total paywalls put into effect by papers such as The Times of London and Newsday, which block access to all contents unless the reader pays.
The paper also signaled that it wants to stay relevant (相关联的) in the social media world. According to Sulzberger’s announcement, people who come to the Times site from Facebook, Twitter or from blogs will be able to read those articles even if they have gone over their monthly limit.
However, Sulzberger said that a limit will be placed on “some search engines”, meaning that after readers have accessed a certain number of articles from search engines, any further articles they access from there will be added to their monthly count. It was reported that the only search engine that will be affected this way is Google, where there will be a five-article limit. This marks a clear attempt by the Times to close what could be a giant loophole (漏洞), since so much online traffic is directed through Google. But it also presents a risk for the paper for the same reason.
Sulzberger seems well aware of the risk. “The challenge now is to put a price on our work without walling ourselves off from the global network,” he said, adding that the Times must “continue to engage
with the widest possible audience.”
47. The author’s main purpose in the text is to ______.
A. describe research findings B. make advertisements
C. report a piece of news D. suggest a solution
48. Why will the Times charge their online readers?
A. It needs a way to offer better service to its readers.
B. It wants to stay relevant in the social media world.
C. It has too many readers coming from the other sites.
D. It is seeking new financial sources for its development.
49. Who will be limited to the New York Times articles?
A. Those subscribing to the printed newspapers.
B. Readers clicking through from Facebook.
C. Those using Google research engine.
D. Readers paying $35 a month.
50. What challenge may the paywall bring to the New York Times?
A. It may bring the Times more competition with the other media.
B. It may stop the Times connecting to the global network.
C. It may result in huge drops in papers’ online readership.
D. It may block the readers from the other websites.

阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答案卡相应的位置上（请注意词数要求）。
Americans think that travel is good for you; some even think it can help one of the country’s worst problems - crime.
Crime worries a lot of people. Every year, the number of crimes goes up and up. And many criminals are young. They often come from sad homes, with only one parent or no parents at all.
There are many young criminals in prison. But prison doesn’t change them. Six or seven in ten will go back to crime when they come out of prison.
One man, Bob Burton, thought of a new idea. In the old days, young men had to live a difficult life on the road. They learned to be strong and brave. So Bob Burton started “Vision Quest”.
He takes young criminals on a long, long journey with horses and wagons (马车), 3,000 miles through seven states. They are on the road for more than a year.
The young people on Vision Quest all have bad problems. Most of them have already spent time in prison. This is their last chance.
It’s hard work on the road. The work starts before the sun comes up. The boys and girls have to feed the horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before. But they can love their horse. That love can help them to a new life.
Not all the young people on Vision Quest will leave crime behind them. Three or four in ten will one day be in prison again. Bob Burton is right. Travel can be good for you. Even today, Americans still say, “Go west, young man.”

五、One possible version:
Good morning, everyone,I am Li Hua from Class 3, Senior 3. The topic of my speech is Let’s Ride Bicycles.
As is known to all, with the improvement of people’s living standards, cars have become a popular means of transport, bringing great convenience to our life. However, they have also some problems such as air pollution and traffic jams.
How can we solve the problems then? As far as I’m concerned, riding bicycles is a good solution. For one thing, bicycles don’t need any petrol and they are energy-saving. For another, bicycles are environmentally friendly because that they won’t give off waste gas. What’s more, riding bicycles is a good way for us to exercise and it is beneficial to our health.
Therefore, let’s take the responsibility to build up a low-carbon city by riding bicycles. Come on and join us!
Thank you for listening!
