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。
A
Children usually love dogs. And even those who are afraid of them at first grow to love these lovely animals once they get to know them. So let’s find out which small dogs is the most suitable as a pet for your child, in case your little one is asking for a dog of his/her own.
When you choose a dog for children, a number of factors need to be kept in mind. People usually choose a dog based on its looks. However, looks can be cheating, as a lovely looking dog might be aggressive, and a strong looking dog might be gentle. Therefore, it is very important to choose
a dog based on its character, rather than its looks. Some dogs are known to be very amicable and gentle, while other dogs are unfriendly and rude. However, one should not choose a dog based only on its breed either, as there are always exceptions. The character of a dog depends on the individual dog, as much as it does on the breed it belongs to.
Another factor that needs to be kept in mind, while you choose small dogs for your child, is the character of the child who is going to be with the dog. If the child is active, the dog should be energetic, strong, and patient, so that it can take all the actions the child gives it. On the other hand, if the child has a quiet nature, a dog that is gentle, calm and sensitive will be more suitable.
It is also good to have a dog that is easy to train, so that it can be taught to behave properly with children. This will ensure that the child is safe with the dog. However, it is not a good idea to leave a young child alone with a dog.
21 what does the passage mainly talk about?
A Different dogs have different characters.
B. How to choose a dog for your child.
C. Dogs are the most friendly animals.
D. The best ways to keep your dog.
22.The underlined word “ amicable” in Paragraph 2 probably means____.
A friendly B dangerous
C small D strong
23 How many factors should you remember when you choose a dog for your child?
A Five B Four
C Three D Two
24. It can be known from the passage that_____
A it is not easy for people to train a dog to behave properly
B it is a bad idea for parents to give a dog as a pet for children
C. almost all the children love energetic, strong and patient dogs
D. it is important to choose a dog according to the character of the child.
B
Way back in 1953, high school mathematics looked like a big hurdle(障碍) for me and several of my classmates. When we reached the 9th grade, we got Mr. Iyer, a strict Math teacher who was also our class teacher. He always stuck to his discipline. We had to arrive on time, pay undivided attention to his lectures, and dared not neglect any of his homework.
Even so, as our class teacher, we got to know him better. Noticing some of us fidgeting one day as the mid-term exams was coming, he stopped solving a math problem to ask us why. “There’s too much to do,” we sighed. “We’re afraid we’ll never manage to finish our revision before the exams.”
“Nothing is impossible,” Mr. Iyer told us. “This classroom is on the second floor. Do you have a problem reaching here?”
We reacted with blank stares.
“No, you don’t!” he said, answering his own question. “You have a staircase(楼梯) to help you climb up to this level. No one expects you to make it in two giant leap… You simply take one step at a time. Any task can be solved if you focus on the immediate action to be taken. The rest will take care of itself, if you keep at it. One step at a time. That’s the secret.”
Then, he wrote down an old motto on the blackboard---The longest journey starts with a single step. But having heard his staircase analogy(类比), we saw him in a new light.
Years passed, and I went on to become an English teacher. To this day, whenever I pass on Mr. Iyer’s invaluable advice to my own students, they brighten up at the prospect of a lighter academic burden.
25. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Math was difficult for most of the author’s classmates.
B. The students thought Mr. Iyer was not a good teacher.
C. Mr. Iyer would punish the students for being late for class.
D. Mr. Iyer was very strict with his students.
26. The underlined word “fidgeting” in Paragraph. 2 probably means “_______”.
A. excited B. nervous C. hardworking D. calm
27. Why did the author and his classmates react Mr. Iyer’s question with blank stares?
A. Because they thought reaching the second floor had no connection with their worry.
B. Because they were too tired to understand the words that Mr. Iyer said in the class.
C. Because they had no interest in answering such an easy question.
D. Because they were too worried about the exam to talk about any other topics in the class.
28.The staircase analogy tells us that________.
A. one can reach his/her goals in a giant leap.
B. goals can be reached step by step.
C. there is only one step between success and failure.
D. tasks can be solved under the guide of the teacher.
C
The second series of Chinese hit cuisine(烹饪) documentary series, A Bite of China, is almost here. Some people call it one of the finest food TV shows ever made. A Bite of China, one of the highest-rated documentary series on Chinese food, held a press conference(新闻发布会) for the launch of its second season on Wednesday in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou. Around a hundred fans and media gathered to celebrate the event.
Chen Xiaoqing, the director of the show, explained to us the biggest difference between the first and the second seasons. The classification of the food is more specific. Meat dishes, vegetarian food and desserts cooked in different ways will be seen. The second season of A Bite of China also consists of seven episodes(集), as with the first, and is in production at present. The season premiere(首映) will be in February, 2014 during the Chinese New Year holiday.
While more shows about Chinese food focus only on the preparation process in the kitchen, A Bite of China digs deeper into the geographical, historical and cultural aspects of what Chinese people eat. Chen Xiaoqing said that the success of it really comes down to three points. Good theme, good timing and good job from everyone.
“Chinese TV production teams are becoming more and more professional. There’s more order and creativity. Our industry is becoming more structured. ” said Chen.
One of the most asked questions at the end of the press conference was “Will A Bite of China be back for a third season?”, which Chen answered firmly, “Yes”.
29. The press conference held on Wednesday was to______?
A. celebrate the success of the first season of A Bite of China
B. launch the second season of A Bite of China
C. collect money for the second season of A Bite of China

30. The second season of A Bite of China will be similar to the first one in_______.
A. the classification of the food B. the way of cooking
C. the production D. the number of episodes
31. Most TV shows about Chinese food focus only on__________?
A. the history of a certain kind of food
B. the process of choosing materials for food
C. the process of preparing food in the kitchen
D. the geographical features of a certain kind of food
32. What can we know according to the last two paragraphs?
A. The Chinese documentary film industry is going down at the moment.
