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
I’d planned to spend my weekend in the sun, potting flowers outdoors. But that was before the pair of crows (乌鸦). Out of nowhere, they had set up their base camp in our backyard.
We first discovered our feathered enemies on Friday morning. It was early, and the sound the birds made traveled through our neighborhood. I figured they’d go away soon. But, no. They were getting louder and probably annoying my neighbors nearly as much as us with the noise. I admit I got a little desperate.
Then, on Sunday afternoon, I looked out the kitchen window to see our dog Quatchi staring at something on the ground. I went to explore and found a small coal-black bird in the grass. Its eyes were milky, and it stayed perfectly still as my dog inched towards it. Only when Quatchi touched his nose to its head did it walk away. I grabbed the dog and locked him inside and came back with my camera.
It never occurred to me that the young would be hanging out on the ground, growing and
gaining strength as its parents guarded it from above. The second I saw this little creature I forgave the crows.
To be honest, I’ve never been much of a bird person. I also have a healthy respect for birds, and by healthy I mean slightly fear-based. They’re basically living dinosaurs.
I wish they’d chosen another backyard. There are only so many sunny days in Seattle, and I still can’t do any gardening out there. But I’m also grateful that I got to see this little bit of nature unfold up close. It’s pretty amazing.
The experience has also reinforced my desire to create a beautiful backyard garden that attracts lots of bees, butterflies, and yes, birds. They are welcome here.
21. The arrival of the two crows ______.
A. disturbed the author’s life B. frightened the author’s dog
C. angered the author’s neighbors D. damaged the author’s backyard
22. Why did the author lock her dog up?
A. She wanted to take some photos. B. The dog kept making loud noises.
C. She wanted to protect the little bird. D. The parent crows were to attack the dog.
23. After seeing the little crow, the author______.
A. decided to help look after it B. planned to drive the crows away
C. fell in love with the pair of crows D. was curious to know its growing process
24. The author writes the text mainly to______.
A. show an annoying situation B. share a personal experience
C. call on readers to protect birds D. seek advice on dealing with crows
B
On my table sits a photograph of a young man with thick black hair and eyes dark with the depth of understanding. It is Andy, who never hurt people. If he was angry, you knew it. If he was sad, he showed it. However, being the middle son, Andy always seemed to play the role of the mediator. The way he behaved could make people calmer and there was something mature about his judgment.
He was an activist all of his life. At age 15, he traveled to Washington, D.C., to take part in a Youth March for Integrated (综合的) Schools. At 17, he journeyed to West Virginia by bus to examine the poverty of Appalachia. At 19, he worked at a camp for children who lacked money
and education. Then, in the spring of 1964, at age 20, he said, “Mom, I’d like to go to Mississippi.”
The Mississippi Summer Project was to flood the state with hundreds of northern college students. The volunteers would form “freedom schools” to teach African-Americans about their voting rights. It was called “one of the most ambitious civil rights projects yet.”
The violence against blacks had never stopped. In the previous seven decades, nearly 600 known killings had taken place in the state. But the reasons why part of me wanted Andy to stay were the same reasons he wanted to go. Only five percent of Mississippi’s half-million African-Americans were registered to vote in 1960. I had fought for what I believed in all my life. I found a husband who had done the same. How could I say no to Andy?
As Andy was preparing to leave, I threw some bandages into his bag. I thought he might get pushed around. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d never see him again.
There are 40 names written on the Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama. Of the 40 victims, 19 were killed in Mississippi. One of them is my son. I allowed him to go to Mississippi because that is who he was. And it is who I was, too.
25. The first paragraph is mainly about Andy’s ______.
A. appearance B. behavior C. character D. background
26. We know from the text that the Mississippi Summer Project ______.
A. aimed to help educate African-Americans
B. fought for African-Americans’ voting rights
C. attracted college students from all over the country
D. tried to protect African-Americans from being killed
27. The underlined words “the reasons” in Paragraph 4 probably refer to ______.
A. the whole family had a spirit of adventure
B. blacks were in a disadvantageous position
C. it was the most dangerous civil rights project
D. Andy may become a hero at the cost of his life
28. How did the author feel about allowing Andy to go to Mississippi?
A. Guilty but proud. B. Ashamed but calm.
C. Regretful but satisfied. D. Painful but sympathetic.
C
Dragonflies (蜻蜓) eat a lot, and they constantly hunt for food. What’s more, they usually catch it in the air. Zig! The dragonfly catches a small fly. Zag! It seizes a mosquito. Very few insects can outfly the dragonfly. No matter how fast they go, no matter which way they turn, the dragonfly is usually able to follow.
Two engineers at the University of Tennessee Space Institute have been studying the way that dragonflies fly. Dr. James Wu and Dr. Ahmad Vakili are studying ways to design a fighter plane that can change direction as quickly and easily as dragonflies can. Why is that important? If you are in a fighter plane, and another plane is after you, you want to be able to fly more quickly than the other plane, Dr. Vakili says.
A dragonfly’s wings are the key to its flying ability, Dr. Wu and Dr. Vakili say. If you look closely, you will see that a dragonfly has two wings on each side of its body—a long front wing and a slightly shorter back wing. During flight, small but powerful winds of air move along each of the dragonfly’s front wings. Thus, the pressure of air keeps the dragonfly up in the air. A dragonfly’s back wings help keep the winds from breaking up.
Dr. Wu and Dr. vakili are studying ways to make fighter plane wings use air flow as efficiently as dragonfly wings. Does this mean that someday we’ll have fighter planes that look like dragonflies? Dr. Wu and Dr. vakili say no, because that would not be practical. They don’t want wings that look like a dragonfly’s. Rather, they want wings that work like a dragonfly’s—designed to help fighter planes change course quickly and outfly their enemies.
29. The opening paragraph is mainly intended to show______.
A. the flying abilities of dragonflies B. how dragonflies search for food
C. the food dragonflies prefer D. why dragonflies fly so fast
30. What helps dragonflies fly quickly and change direction easily?
A. The shape of their wings. B. The number of their wings.
C. The strength of their wings. D. The structure of their wings.
31. Dr. Wu and Dr. vakili want to make fighter planes that can take advantage of ______.
A. the power of the wind B. the direction of the wind
C. air flow D. air pressure
32. We can infer that the fighter planes designed by Dr. Wu and Dr. vakili may ______.
A. fly at a greater height B. look like dragonflies
C. have more functions D. make a turn quickly
D
In order to borrow books and other materials, all users need a library card. The librarian can obtain a list of staff and pupils from the school office to prepare library cards.
The normal length of borrowing depends on the person running the library, but four weeks is the suggested period of loan (借出). The book to be borrowed is stamped two weeks in advance.
Usually, fines are set if users fail to return items on or before the due date. Some items, such as videos or reference-related materials, might be borrowed on an overnight loan.
Using an automated (自动化的) system
Details of all pupils and staff using the library are imported on the system. The following suggestions may be helpful in producing library cards for your school:
The cards should be designed by the students (as a competition) and copied.
The school logo and the name of the school should be included.
The cards should be colour-copied or just photo-copied.
The cards should be barcoded (给······标上条形码).
Write the users’ names on the cards.
Go to the borrower records on the system. Find the borrower’s name and scan in the barcode to register the user.
Alternatively, there are reputable companies who produce library cards. Although these may work out more costly, the cards can last for a long time and reduce valuable librarian time.
Checking resources regularly
An annual check of all stock is recommended in order to find out missing resources, and resources to be withdrawn from stock. The latter may be necessary, due to lack of use or because the resource has been damaged beyond repair; alternatively, the information contained within the resource may have gone out of date or have become culturally insensitive.
33. Which of the following is suggested for the library card designs?
A. The school office. B. The librarian. C. Teachers. D. Students.
34. Compared with self-made library cards, ready-made ones are______.
A. hard-wearing B. money-saving C. more popular D. better barcoded
35. What type of writing is this text?
A. A library announcement. B. A school report.
C. A local advertisement. D. A practical guide.

Tips to create great readers
Great readers are made; they are not born. After all, children don’t enter the world knowing how to understand a text or make inferences. 36 Here are some tips for making children great readers by habit.
37 The most important moment in reading instruction is when a student gets something wrong. If the student continues practicing the skill incorrectly, he or she will build weaker habits. Intervene (干预) with a targeted question, such as “How does this part of the text help you understand this character?” Doing so can prevent poor habits from taking root and build great ones in their place.
Build great reading and writing skills hand in hand. Just like adults, students use writing to gather their thoughts about a text and communicate their ideas to others. 38 For example, students can have a discussion about what they’re reading by answering a focus question in writing: “What is the author trying to teach us in this story?” 39 By doing this, you can get a better understanding of what guidance the students will need during the discussion.
Make sure students are reading. Independent reading time is important for any reading program. It’s a chance for students to put together everything they’ve learned in reading lessons and fly using their own wings. 40 Providing a rich class library and letting students know that they are expected to read for the entire period will ensure their success as lifelong independent readers.
A. Build habits at the moment of error.
B. Make sure students fall in love with reading.
C. Then, you can review their written responses.
D. They grow into great readers by learning great habits.
E. But it only works if they really do spend that time reading.
F. Specific lines or phrases from the text help to reveal that information.
G. Therefore, you can develop their writing and reading skills at the same time.

Many people argue that working can be a valuable experience for the young. However, working more than about 15 hours a week is 41 for teens because it reduces their involvement with school, and 42 a materialistic and expensive lifestyle.
Schoolwork and the benefits of extracurricular activities tend to be 43 when teens work long hours. As more and more teens have filled the many part-time jobs, teachers have faced increasing 44 . They must both keep the attention of 45 pupils and give homework to students who simply don’t have time to do it. 46 , educators have noticed less involvement in the extracurricular activities that many consider a 47 influence on young people. School bands and athletic teams are 48 players, and sports events are 49 attended by working students. Those teens who try to do it all may find themselves 50 .
Another 51 of too much work is that it may promote materialism and an unrealistic lifestyle. Some parents say that working helps teach teens the 52 of a dollar. 53 that can be true. It’s also true that some teens work to help their family or to save for college. 54 , surveys have shown that a lot of working, teens use their earnings to buy luxuries. These young people won’t spend 55 —they can just about have it all. In many cases, they are getting used to a lifestyle they won’t be able to 56 several years down the road, when they no longer have parents 57 car insurance, food, and so on. At that point, they won’t have enough money to pay for necessities as well as luxuries.
Teenagers can 58 the benefits of work while avoiding its drawbacks, simply by 59 their work hours during the school year. As is often the case, a moderate (适度的) approach will be the most healthy and 60 .
41. A. bad B. dull C. important D. useful
42. A. witnesses B. requires C. changes D. encourages
43. A. adopted B. forgotten C. disbelieved D. considered
