第二节 阅读理解（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
Tom was one of the brightest boys in the year, with supportive parents. But when he was 15 he suddenly stopped trying. He left school at 16 with only two scores for secondary school subjects. One of the reasons that made it cool for him not to care was the power of his peer (同龄人) group.
The lack of right male (男性) role models in many of their lives — at home and particularly in the school environment (环境) — means that their peers are the only people they have to judge themselves against.
They don’t see men succeeding in society so it doesn’t occur to them that they could make something of themselves. Without male teachers as a role model, the effect of peer actions and street culture (文化) is all-powerful. Boys want to be part of a club. However, schools can provide the environment for change, and provide the right role models for them. Teachers need to be trained to stop that but not in front of a child’s peers. You have to do it one to one, because that is when you see the real child.
It’s pointless sending a child home if he or she has done wrong. They see it as a welcome day off to watch television or play computer games. Instead, schools should have a special unit where a child who has done wrong goes for the day and gets advice about his problems — somewhere he can work away from his peers and go home after the other children.
21．Why did Tom give up studying?
A. He disliked his teachers.
B. His parents no longer supported him.
C. It’s cool for boys of his age not to care about studies.
D. There were too many subjects in his secondary school.
22．What seems to have a bad effect on students like Tom?
A. Peer groups. B. A special unit.
C. The student judges. D. The home environment.
23．What should schools do to help the problem schoolboys?
A. Wait for their change patiently.
B. Train leaders of their peer groups.
C. Stop the development of street culture.
D. Give them lessons in a separate area.
24．A teacher’s work is most effective with a schoolboy when he __ .
A. is with the boy alone
B. teaches the boy a lesson
C. sends the boy home as punishment
D. works together with another teacher
I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”
Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks (地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.
It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, ‘Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite, They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
25．When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place they usually _________.
A. describe the place carefully
B. show him a map of the place
C. tell him the names of the streets
D. refer to recognizable buildings and places
26．What is the place where people measure distance in time?
A. New York. B. Los Angeles. C. Kansas. D. Iowa.
27．People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ________.
A. in order to save time B. as a test
C. so as to be polite D. for fun
28．What can we infer from the text?
A. It’s important for travelers to understand cultural differences.
B. It’s useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.
C. People have similar understandings of politeness.
D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.
More People Are Leaving the Rat Race for the Simple Life
Time is more precious than money for an increasing number of people who are choosing to live more with less—and liking it
Kay and Charles Giddens, two lawyers, sold their home to start a B&B hotel．Four years later, the couple dishes out banana pancake breakfast, cleans toilets and serves homemade chocolate chip cookies to guests in a B&B hotel surrounded by trees on a hill known for colorful sunsets.
“Do I miss the freeways? Do I miss the traffic? Do I miss the stress? No,” says Ms．Giddens, “This is a phenomenon that’s fairly widespread． A lot of people are reevaluating their lives and figuring out what they want to do．If their base is being damaged, what’s the payoff?”
Simple living ranges from cutting down on weeknight activities to sharing housing, living closer to work, avoiding shopping malls, borrowing books from the library instead of buying them, and taking a cut in pay to work at a more pleasurable job.
Vicki Robin, a writer, lives on a budget equal to a fifth of what she used to make．“You become conscious about where your money is going and how valuable it is,” Ms．Robin says, “You tend not to use things up．You cook at home rather than eat out…”
Janet Luhrs, a lawyer, quit her job after giving birth and leaving her daughter with a nanny for two weeks．“It was not the way I wanted to raise my kids,” she says, “Simplicity is not just about saving money; it’s about me sitting down every night with my kids to a candlelit dinner with classical music.”
Mrs．Luhrs now edits a magazine, Simple Living, which publishes tips on how to buy recycled furniture and shoes, organize potluck dinners instead of expensive receptions, and generally how to consume less.
“It’s not about poverty,” Mrs．Luhrs explains, “It’s about conscious living and creating the life you want．The less stuff you buy, the less money goes out of the door, and the less money you have to earn.”
29．Kay and Charles Giddens sold their home to ______.
A． pay off the debt
B． start a private hotel
C． cut down expenses
D． buy living necessities
30．Simple living includes ______.
A． building a home library
B． living in the countryside
C． enjoying a colorful night life
D． sharing housing with others
31．It can be learned from the passage that now Janet Luhrs ______.
A． spends more time with her kids
B． has an interest in classical music
C． works as a reporter of a magazine
D． helps people buy recycled clothes
32．How does the author develop the passage?
A． By using figures.
B． By asking questions.
C． By giving examples．
D． By making comparisons．
Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.
Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup (基因构成) as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.
Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.
Exploration also allows minerals and other potential (潜在的) resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products (副产品) of technological developments in the space industry!
While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers．The danger exists, but knowledge can help human being to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.
While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.
33．Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph1?
A. To express his doubts.
B. To compare different ideas.
C. To introduce points for discussion.
D. To describe the conditions on Earth.
34． What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph2?
A. Humans are nature-born to do so.
B. Humans have the tendency to fight.
C. Humans may find new sources of food.
D. Humans don’t like to stay in the same place.
35． What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?
A. Our genetic makeup.
B. Resources on the earth.
C. The adaptive ability of humans.
D. By-products in space exploration.

The news which the English Entrance Examination will be reformed has caused a big “earthquake” in our country. Many people, included students, are for it. But there are also some people are against it. Then, is it better to do so or not? Personally, I think the reform has between advantages and disadvantages.

On the other hand, it will cause students to spend less time on studying English and to attached less importance to English. If so, students will not have a good knowledge of English.

完型填空题的命题趋势
解题步骤:
1.通读全文，理解大意。重视首句信息，跳过空格，浏览全文，从整体上感知全文，理解文章大意，这是解题的基础。
2.瞻前顾后，避难就易。在理解文章大意的情况下，结合各选项的意义和用法，遵循先易后难的原则，先解决那些自己有把握的问题。对少数难题，暂时跳过，或许在上文中难以判断的题在下文中就有暗示或者明显的提示，或许一个在前面不能解答的题在填出了另一空后会令你豁然开朗。
3.复读全文，解决残敌。借助已经补全的空格，对全文有了更清楚的理解，可以集中解决所遗留的少数疑难问题。
4.再次复读，弥补疏漏，全部做好后，务必要结合自己选择的答案重新阅读短文内容，确保全文文意连贯。
完形填空的特点和技巧：
1.完形填空的特点：
(1)只考以下四类词——名词、动词(包括短语动词)、形容词和副词。
(2)首句不设空：有助于了解或推测全文的大意。
(3)同一小题的四个选项都是同一词类，且为同一语法形式。
2.解答完形填空的技巧:
（1）词语之间的习惯搭配，或固定搭配；
（2）结合生活，结合生活常识，善于观察生活，积累生活常识，就能够利用常识去做恰当的选择。
（3）上下文对照，解完型填空题时，单独看一句话是找不到正确答案的，需要阅读下句或者若干句才能明白。所谓上下对照，即在上文和下文中找到与正确答案相同的关键词。因此，在做题时要边读边在大脑中储存上下文信息的能力，捕捉关键词。例如第60题。照应文章开篇，I knew that she would be crying我知道她会哭。但是相反，她神采奕奕地进了学校，并没有哭。故选B。
（4）词语或词义复现。词汇复现往往会使语篇中的句子相互衔接得更紧密。利用词语的复现，对解题很有帮助；
注意事项
1.通读全文，理解大意。重视首句信息，跳过空格，浏览全文，从整体上感知全文，理解文章大意，这是解题的基础。
2.复读全文，解决残敌。借助已经补全的空格，对全文有了更清楚的理解，可以集中解决所遗留的少数疑难问题。

细节理解常考的是语义转换题，常用跳读查找法，这是做事实细节题最基本也是最常用的方法。在通常情况下，细节题主要考查考生对某句话或某几句话的理解，同学们若能根据题干内容从原文中找到相关的句子，然后进行比较和分析，便可确定最佳答案。运用跳读查找法时，同学们要特别注意试题（包括选项）与原文之间的适当变换。根据近几年的考题情况来看，现在很少有直接用原文中的句子进行考查和测试的，而通常要进行一定的处理。而这种“处理”主要就是指进行语义转换，其中包括同义变换、概念解析、归纳事实等。比如第21题，选项D中recognizable buildings and places与原文landmarks是同义转换。

【小题1】which→that
【小题2】included→including
【小题3】people后加who
【小题4】between→both
【小题5】learn→learning
【小题6】删掉back
【小题7】on→in 或删掉on
【小题8】attached→attach
【小题9】so→such
【小题10】our→their
【解析】
试题分析：本文讲诉了高考英语改革的利与弊。
【小题1】which→that 考查that引导同位语。News后面跟同位语从句，which不引导同位语，that引导且不能省，故which→that
【小题2】included→including 考查including用法。including用作介词，意思是“包括在内”，句意：许多人，包括学生在内都会受到惩罚。故included→including
【小题3】people后加who 考查定语从句。先行词是people，后面接的是一个以who引导的定语从句且who在定语从句中作主语，不能省略，故people后加who
【小题4】between→both 考查形容词。advantages and disadvantages是两个名词，所以应该用形容词修饰，而between是一个介词和副词，而想表达“两者都……”，用both，故between→both
【小题5】learn→learning 考查名词。Learn是一个动词，students’相当于一个形容词，后面要填一个名词，故动词要加ing变成动名词形式，故learn→learning
【小题6】删掉back 考查固定搭配。没有return back to这种说法，因为return 本身已经含有back 的意思，return to…恢复，回到。故删掉back
【小题7】on→in 或删掉on 考查介词。 spend time ／money on sth. 在……上花费时间(金钱)；
spend time ／ money (in) doing sth. 花费时间(金钱)做某事。文中的介词后面有studying，故on→in或删掉on
【小题8】attached→attach 考查动词不定式to。Cause sb to do 使某人做……，to是一个动词不定式，后面接动词原形，故attached→attach
【小题9】so→such 考查such用法。such ＋a（an）＋adj ＋n=so＋adj．＋a（an）＋n，此句中冠词a在形容词前，故so→such
【小题10】our→their 考查人称代词。句意：并且，如果学生们没有一个如此好的能力，他们将不能够扩宽他们的视野和遇见他们将来的挑战。根据句意，故our→their

Dear Sally，
I hope you are well. In your letter, you asked me something about Qingdao, which is my hometown.
Qingdao is a beautiful city, located in east of China and faces Huanghai River. Because of approaching the sea, the climate here is mild, that’s to say, it is neither too cold in winter and nor too hot in summer. Generally speaking, the people here like eating rice and seafood and drinking beer, which is known to the world.
At the senior school, we all pay attention to learning English, because we realize that English is becoming more and more important. We can listen to English news and talk to our oral English teacher, who comes from the USA, and we also have limited time to read English books and so on.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. Best wishes!
Yours，
LiHua
