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 month, Julia and her cousins would go to visit their grandparents. They would be excited because their grandfather would give them a few coins. Then they would buy toys or sweets. The grandparents commented that, behaving like this, the children would never learn to manage their money. So they planned a special test, in which the children would have to show, over the course of a year, just what they could manage to get with those few coins.
Some thought that they would save their money, but Ruben and Nico continued spending it all on sweets. So they give up saving.
Monty decided to manage his money by exchanging it: buying and selling things, or betting (打赌) it with others. Soon he surprised the whole family. He had
11
accumulated (积聚) lots of money. However, Monty was not very careful, and he got involved in more and more risky deals. A few months later he became penniless after a losing bet. Alex, had a will of iron. He saved the money and at the end of the year he had collected more money than anyone. Even better, with so much money, he managed to buy sweets at a reduced price, so that on the day of the competition he was presented with enough sweets for much more than a year. And even then, he still had enough left over for a toy. He was the clear winner, and other children learned the advantages of knowing how to save and how to wait.
There was also Julia. Poor Julia didn’t enjoy the competition, because even though she had had a wonderful secret plan, she had spent her money without giving her plan enough time to work. However, she was so sure that her plan was a good one, that she decided to carry on with it, and maybe change the expressions on her relatives’ faces, who had seemed to be saying “What a poor girl shel is. She couldn’t manage to save anything”.
When she was about to complete the second year of her plan, Julia surprised everyone by turning up at the grandparents’ house with a violin and a lot of money. She did it really well.
21. Who saved nothing at the end of the first year?
A. Ruben, Julia and Alex B. Ruben, Nico and Monty
C. Ruben, Monty and Julia D. Ruben, Nico and Alex
22. Why did the grandparents plan a test on the children?
A. Because they wanted the children to learn to spend money.
B. Because they wanted the children to learn to save money.
C. Because they wanted the children to learn to manage money.
D. Because they didn’t want the children to buy toys and sweets any more.
23. From Monty’s story, the children learned ______________________.
A. to save and to wait. B. to buy and to sell things
C. to set a achievable goal. D. to be careful and self-disciplined
24. The underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph means ______________.
A. Julia will bring disasters to herself and her family.
B. Julia is not good at managing money.
C. Julia is too stupid to do anything well.
D. Julia has so many secrets that nobody likes her.
B
As weather cools across the United States, a growing number of Americans visit farms. They harvest fruits, enjoy hay wagon rides and walk in the fields. These people are called “agri-tourists.” They improve the economy of rural areas and help farmers increase their profits.
School children are walking in a corn field maze. The corn is cut into tricky passageways that make it difficult to find a way out. The children are from Yorktown Elementary School in Bowie Maryland. They have traveled to Montpelier Farms in Prince George’s County which is also in Maryland. The farm is about 40 kilometers from The White House.
Debbie Pierson is the student’s teacher. “We go on these kind of field trips so that the children will have a hands-on experience of what it’s like to be on a farm,” Pierson said.

In Loudoun County Virginia, there are farms where grapes are grown for use in making wine. Many of the farms let people visit, and drink the wine that is made there. Bill Hatch owns the Zephaniah Farm Vineyard. He holds wine tastings in his home. “We are doubling the number of visitors to our farm every year. We have an average of 250 people on a weekend,” Hatch said.
As more people visit farms, more farmers are adding activities in which visitors can take part.
Malcolm Baldwin owns WeatherLea Farm and Vineyard in Loudoun County. Six years ago, he began letting people be married at his farm. They can also sleep at the farm overnight. Mr. Baldwin says the money he makes from these activities let him keep his small farm operating. “But without the animals, and without the vines, the wedding business wouldn’t be as profitable (有利可图的), because people like to see the vines. They like to see the animals and without which I don’t think this will be a popular place,” Baldwin said.
25. We can infer from the first paragraph that people always go for field trips in _______.
A. Spring B. Summer C. Autumn D. Winter
26. The underlined word “maze” in the passage is similar to “_______”.
A. puzzle B. trip C. house D. activity
27. On Malcolm Baldwin’s farms, visitors can ________.
A. taste the wine made in the USA B. raise and hunt animals
C. do wedding business D. have fun as well as bring him money
C
It was 8:35 am. My girls and I were rushing through the front door of the school as I yelled, “Hurry up! The bell was about to…” RIIIIIIIING! The girls froze and their eyes widened. My shoulders sagged(下垂). We were too late.
We were often late for school last year, and every time we ran breathlessly into the attendance I heard myself making silly excuses to Beth, the long-suffering secretary: our alarm didn’t go off; there was so much traffic; it was my husband’s fault; the dog…I didn’t know-something about the dog!
As time passed by, my lying became a habit, and it raised a red flag for me. Lying - even in the form of “harmless” excuses - means we’re ashamed. Shame is different from guilt. Healthy guilt is fair and helpful. But shame can be dangerous. Nothing ruins the connection between two people more quickly than shame and lies do. Anyone trying to live a healthy and honest life must avoid shame at any cost. I was trying to live a healthy and honest life, but my excuses were keeping me from reaching my goal. So I vowed（发誓）to do something different .
The next time we were late, I went to the attendance office. When Beth asked me to fill in a form with the reason for being late, I told the truth. “These days, we are very tired and disorganized,” I wrote. Beth looked down at that form, and the slowly looked up at me. She gave us a warm and big smile and her blue eyes twinkled. She started laughing. So did my kids and I.
We’re all imperfect human beings. We make mistakes. Everyone does make mistakes. However, it’s OK to tell the truth about them. It’s OK to forgive ourselves and promise to try again.
28. By writing Paragraph1, the author wants to show that .
11
A. her daughters were not easy to deal with B. she didn’t have an organized lifestyle
C. her daughters didn’t like going to school D. she lived a lazy life with her daughters
29. What do we know about the author from Paragraph2?
A. She lived an extremely busy life. B. She liked complaining about life.
C. She liked making fun of other people. D. She liked making excuses for her lateness.
30. We learn that as time went by, the author .
A. found that other people liked lying to her
B. realized the harm of lying and wanted to change
C. found that shame had a positive effect on her life
D. realized that she could no longer live a healthy life
31. The last paragraph shows when we make a mistake we should .
A. blame it on different things B. never let others know it is our fault
C. never forgive ourselves for making it D. forgive ourselves and try harder next time
D
Wouldn’t it be great if you could just look up at the sky and read the weather forecast right away? Well, you can. The forecast is written in clouds. If you can read that writing, you can tell something about the atmosphere. With some practice, you can become a pretty good weather forecaster. Who knows, you might even do as well as meteorologists（气象学家）.
Meteorologists use much more information than just the appearance of the clouds to make their forecast. They collect data（数据）from all over the world. Then they put it into powerful, high speed computers. This does give the meteorologists an advantage, because they can track（追踪）weather patterns as they move from west to east across the country. But you have an advantage, too. You can look at the sky and get your data directly. A meteorologist uses a computer forecast that’s several hours old to make a local forecast.
What are you seeing when you look at a cloud? “A picture of moisture(水汽)is doing in the atmosphere,” says meteorologist Peter Leavitt. There’s moisture throughout the atmosphere. Most of the time you don’t see it, because it’s in the form of an unseeable gas called water vapor. Sometimes, the temperature of the air gets cold enough to cause the waster vapor to change to liquid water. It’s called condensation(凝结), and we see it happen all the time (for example, when humid air from the shower hits the cold glasses of a mirror). When enough water vapor condenses（冷凝）, droplets(小滴）come in the air. These droplets scatter(分散) light. A cloud is seen.
Watching clouds over a day or two tells you a lot more than a single cloud about the weather to come. Changes in clouds show changes in the atmosphere. You should begin to notice patterns. Certain clouds, following each other in order, can signal an approaching storm. But don’t take our word for it; see for yourself.
32. According to the passage, an ordinary person might read the weather forecast
11
as well as meteorologists _________.
A. with some simple practice looking up at the sky B. with the help of the high-speed computers
C. through complex (复杂的) instruments D. by visiting a weather station
33. Meteorologists can make their weather forecast .
A. by using information of the appearance of the clouds only
B. by collecting data from parts of the world
C. by collecting and analyzing（分析）the data
D. by watching the sky
34. According to the passage, your advantage in weather forecast is that .
A. you have a high-speed computer
B. you observe the sky and get your data directly
C. you have more instruments at home
D. you can track weather patterns as they move from west to east across the country
35. This passage mainly tells us about how to .
A. train ourselves as meteorologists B. be an assistant to a meteorologist
C. forecast the weather by ourselves D. broadcast the weather forecast

All through high school, students dream of McDonald’ s for lunch instead of school lunches. 36 , they don’t have that opportunity here. They have to 37 what the school has provided for them. In my opinion, they deserve to have lunches outside of the school.
By 38 teens to spend lunchtime outside, the school could save a lot of money, which could be used to 39 more school programs. As we know, school lunches are subsidized（补贴）by the government. That’s why food in school is sold 40 . If students are able to go outside at noon, the school will spend less money on the 41 program. And the school can use the money saved for 42 things, such as sports equipment or new books.
If students are able to have lunch outside of the school, they will get more 43 about how the real world works. If they stand in a cafeteria line every day, they won’t have the 44 to get involved in wider society. Students, 45 those who are about to graduate, need to know what to expect when they’re on their own. Eating outside makes it possible for them to 46 more of the outside world.
It is 47 for the school to place more trust in teens. They should be trusted enough to eat out and 48 on time. School officials argue that they’re making sure children are 49 by keeping them in school since they’re worried that something 50 might happen to children. Of course, lunch rush can be 51 , especially if teens race outside and back to school at the expected time. But the students are now 52 enough to be responsible for their own behavior. All teens have been taught to 53
11
road rules when they are outside alone.
54 , the school should let students go outside for lunch. It gives students a sense of 55 and responsibility, and they deserve to be trusted.
36. A. Instead B. Besides C. However D. Therefore
37. A. eat B. play C. read D. cook
38. A. ordering B. requiring C. encouraging D. allowing
39. A. support B. copy C. find D. write
40. A. cheaply B. easily C. secretly D. quickly
41. A. health B. lunch C. education D. exercise
42. A. interesting B. surprising C. different D. unusual
43. A. feelings B. expectations C. explanations D. experiences
44. A. wish B. ability C. need D. chance
45. A. obviously B. naturally C. especially D. clearly
46. A. accept B. learn C. enjoy D. remember
47. A. important B. easy C. useless D. doubtful
48. A. work B. start C. return D. leave

Meet the magic folk
Throughout the ages and across the world, fairies（童话故事）have come alive in the stories, poems, and songs passed down from the old to the young. Some amazing stories about fairies have come to us from the British Isles. 56
Merrows are Irish fairy mermaids（美人鱼）. The females are very gentle and beautiful with fishes’ tails. Merrows sometimes come onto land disguised（伪装）as small, white cattle or as beautiful women wearing bright red feather caps. 57
Leprechauns（矮妖）are fairies that appear as tiny old men. They like to be alone most of the time, making and mending shoes and keeping their pots of gold well hidden. If a human catches a leprechaun and asks for its gold, the leprechaun must hand it over. 58 If the human looks away for even an instant, the leprechaun will joyfully disappear.
Brownies are hairy little men who do chores（杂事）in houses and on farms during
11
the night. All they want as payment is food, and they get very angry if humans watch them do their work. If a brownie is given clothes as a present, he’ll disappear forever. 59
Selkies are seal fairies. Female selkies sometimes come to shore and take off their sealskins to play on the beach in human form. Like merrows, if a human finds a selkie’s sealskin, she can’t go back to the ocean. 60 If she finds her sealskin, she happily returns to the sea, leaving her human husband and children…but she comes close to shore to watch over them from time to time.
A. Here are some of these fairies.
B. Most sailors at sea hope never to see a merrow.
C. But it is far trickier（狡猾的）than it looks!
D. A selkie is quiet and lovely, with dark hair and sad eyes.
E. Instead, she must obey（服从）the human who keeps it and usually marries him.
F. Perhaps this is because he rushes back to show off his new clothes to the others.
G. If a human steals this cap, a merrow can’t go back to the sea and must stay on land.
