第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,40 分)
第一节(共 15 小题:每小题 2 分,共 30 分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Recently the sewer line(污水管道)under our house didn’t work.My first response was to call a repairman.I made the call,expecting the man at the other end of the line to complain about such an awful job.Instead,he simply asked,“The address?”
An hour later Steve arrived in his truck.He looked exactly as I had imagined he might:broad and bearlike,in well worn clothing.“Can you fix it?” I asked with a mixture of doubt and hope.Steve looked at me as if responding to my lack of faith.With a cheerful shrug that suggested my crisis was all in a day’s work for him,he said,“Sure.”
After a short while,Steve told me that he had to get a tool and tear up the street to the main sewer line.He would first have to get permission from the town. I registered appropriate panic.“How long will all this take?” Again,a shrug. “I should have it done by evening.”
I did not want to watch the digging of my property unfold and went into town to visit some friends.I felt somewhat guilty upon driving off in my clean vehicle,leaving Steve to such a disagreeable task.Finally,when I went home,a sweeter sight I never saw:a period of newly paved street and all was tidy and relatively dry.
I need to say,in my own defense,that I am not a weak father of two children. I’ve traveled all over the world,served in the United States Navy and earned a PhD.But the broken sewer line was my limit.Then I thought about Steve. Big,rough,and how people might judge him,if not for his appearance then for his work.And I was taken by the very idea that,no matter what crisis occurs,there is somebody somewhere,who has the appropriate tools and settles it.
36.What do we know about Steve?
A.He wears neat and new clothes.
B.He is quite confident of his skills.
C.He always complains about his job.
D.He hesitates to accept the repair work.
37.What did Steve think of the author’s crisis?
A.It’s a great challenge.
B.It’s beyond his ability.
C.It’s a part of his routine.
D.It’s none of his business.
38.Why did the author leave home during the repairs?
A.He liked to take his time riding outside.
B.He drove to turn to his friends for help.
C.He was afraid of being looked down upon.
D.He was unwilling to face the embarrassing situation.
39.What can be inferred from the text?
A.Action speaks louder than words.
B.God helps those who help themselves.
C.Every profession produces its top experts.
D.Hope for the best,but prepare for the worst.
B
For years going home for the holidays has been bittersweet. I appreciate the opportunity to spend quality time with my mom but it is painful for me to see her house littered with stuff(物品).Clothes bought but never worn,and new items in their original packaging carelessly purchased and never used.It's evident that seeing the stuff on a daily basis reminds my mom of a time when shopping was her way of spending money.
I didn’t fully understand the extent to which my mom was suffering until this week,when I saw piles of clothes on her bed.“How do you manage to sleep every night with all that stuff,Mom?” I asked.To my horror,she replied “I do it because I know I have to get rid of all this stuff eventually;I am punishing myself by sleeping with them until I do—that.”
Shocked and upset,I gently explained to her that punishing herself was only to make things worse,and that everybody deserves a place to sleep in peace,no matter what mistakes they’ve made.I suggested she move all the stuff upstairs,leaving her room comfortable to sleep in.
With patience and her slow but steady guidance,I helped her go through some of the piles and move them upstairs.For the rest of the week I stayed there,she was in a better mood and was excited about going through the rest of the house to finally get rid of her stuff—past mistakes and painful times.The items brought back painful memories as we inspected and moved them,but I kept reminding her that removing them would allow her to move on and heal.We finally sold so many things and took bag after bag to charity.
The stuff is just a sign of the destructive patterns of self-hatred on past mistakes.Only through the act of self-forgiveness can we bring about a chain reaction of reorganizing—both of the house and heart.
40.What made the author feel bitter?
A.She couldn’t understand her mom’s sorrows.
B.Her mom was stuck in the painful memories.
C.Her mom was always left alone at home.
D.Her mom wasted money on useless things.
41.The underlined word “that” in the second paragraph refers to_______.
A.getting rid of the stuff B.buying the stuff
C.opening the stuff D.moving the stuff
42.We can infer from the passage that______.
A.the author never bought her mom anything
B.the author’s mom has no money to purchase now
C.the author’s mom regrets buying so many things
D.the author knows her mom’s suffering only this week
43.What’s the best title of the passage?
A.How to do shopping wisely? B.The importance of self-forgiveness
C.Keep an eye on the elderly’s behavior D.Clearance helps remove suffering
C
Dogs and humans have been living side-by-side for about 15,000 years,but there are tons of facts about dogs that perhaps we have never heard of.
Night vision
Dogs have good night vision.Their large pupils let more light in and the rods (视杆细胞)work better in poor light.But the biggest factor is the tapetum(反光组织),which reflects light at the back of the eye.Besides,dogs’ whiskers(胡须)also help them “see” in the dark because they pick up on very small changes in air,providing dogs with information about the size,shape,and speed of things nearby.
Secret tail code
Dogs can use their tails to communicate.They wag their tails to the right when they are relaxed or happy,and to the left when nervous or threatened.When they’re aggressive,the tails will stick straight up in the air.A broad wag is friendly while a slow wag is neutral,neither excited nor anxious.
Dreams
We often see a dog’s body making sudden movements in its sleep.Dogs have the same brain wave patterns as humans’ while they are asleep,so they dream just like we do.
Super nose
Dogs can find their way home despite long distances.Their noses are a vital part of their incredible sense of direction.The part of a dog’s brain that control smell is 40 times larger than humans’.They’re able to follow smells for miles.Furthermore,dogs have an amazing ability to recognize the smells given off by the abnormal cells in human bodies,including cancer.This is something scientists are eager to explore further.And interestingly,a dog’s “fingerprint” is on its nose.The patterns on dogs’ noses are so distinct that they can actually be used to identify the animals.
A sixth sense
Dogs act strangely before something bad,like a storm or earthquake,happens,for they are sensitive to low frequencies that humans can’t sense.So don’t let their strange behavior go unnoticed next time.It could save your life.
44.Which of the following indirectly helps dogs see well in the dark?
A.Their rods. B.Their tapetum. C.Their whiskers. D.Their pupils.
45.If a dog holds up the tail,it indicates________.
A.happiness B.attack C.friendliness D.relaxation
46.What hasn’t been discovered about a dog?
A.Why it can sense natural disasters. B.Why it has an acute sense of smell.
C.What emotions it shows with its tail. D.How it can smell humans’ illnesses.
47.In what way are dogs like humans?
A.They dream when they sleep. B.They have good night vision.
C.They have distinct nose patterns. D.They can react to low frequencies.
D
A Japanese company is developing a pair of smart glasses that can help those with visual or comprehension problems to read written text more easily.Called the Oton Glass,the glasses are meant to translate text in to sound using two cameras and an earpiece,both fitted to its frame.
Half of the lens(镜片)is a mirror that reflects the wearer’s eyes back to the first camera,which tracks eye movement.The other camera captures the text.Wearers use the glasses by staring at the text they can’t read and blinking(眨眼)to trigger the glasses.Then the captured words are sent to a cloud system,which processes the text and turns it into sound played through the earpiece.If the system is unable to identify the words,the images are sent to a remote worker who can deal with them.
The Oton Glass lead designer,Keisuke Shimakage,started working on the glasses in 2012 to aid his father,who had developed dyslexia,a condition that makes it difficult for someone to read and spell.While his father eventually recovered,Shimakage continued his development in order to help others with the disorder.
Currently,the Oton Glass is seeking funding.Backers can get a pair of the glasses for 5,000 yen(roughly $ 47).
Smart glasses aren’t a new concept,but it's difficult to point to any single pair of smart glasses that people have reviewed favorably.It could,perhaps,be that previous products tried to do too much,or were too expensive.That’s why Intel’s Vaunt smart glasses stripped out some features,like its camera,LCD screen,and speakers.The Oton Glass is for a very specific audience,and its relatively low price could make it more appealing to those who want an affordable way to understand the text around them.
48.What is the right order how the Oton Glass works?
a.The camera captures the words.
b.The wearer stares at the text.
c.The wearer hears the sound via the earpiece.
d.The cloud system turns the text into sound.
e.The wearer blinks to get the glasses working.
A.a,b,e,c,d B.e,b,c,d,a C.b,d,a,e,c D.b,e,a,d,c
49.The underlined part “stripped out” in the last paragraph can be replaced by_____.
A.improved B.removed C.increased D.invented
50.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The advantages of the Oton Glass.
B.The characteristics of smart glasses.
C.Consumers’ evaluation of the Oton Glass.
D.The target audiences of various smart glasses.

Practical Ways to Show Respect for a Friend
●Show respect for their life choices and decisions
Accept that people aren’t always going to be just like you.They will make different life choices,have different views on politics and religion,and act differently in many ways.This doesn’t mean they can’t be your friend. 51
●Give them the benefit of the doubt
52 If you’re in doubt about something,ask your friend.Be respectful and give them the benefit of the doubt when you don’t do. This alone will help you stay in their good graces(好感).
●Give friends your full attention
One of the best ways to show respect for someone is to listen to them fully.Allow them to pause,convey nonverbal communication clues,collect their thoughts,and get it all out.Too often friends listen with half an ear or jump in the minute their friend pauses with an even worse story. 53 When your friend is talking,pay attention.
● 54
Treat your friends respectfully when you argue with them.Make your friendship a safe place by not embarrassing your friend or expressing your private disagreements in front of other people.Be publicly supportive and kind to your friends so they know you value your friendship with them.
●Show up,be there,and do what you say you’re going to do
55 So just show your friend the best kind of respect by being on time,keeping promises,and being the one friend they can always count on.That’s the way to truly show respect.
A.Assumptions can be a dangerous thing.
B.Consider your friendship a precious gift.
C.This type of behavior is very disrespectful.
D.Tell your friends what you think about them directly.
E.In fact,you can almost do nothing but accept the differences.
F.It means that you’ll need to take a step back,reserve judgment,and show respect.
G.No one likes an unreliable friend who says they’ll be there and then doesn’t show.

Dear George,
How is everything going? I have some exciting news for you. China Daily will hold a mobile phone contest named “Amazing China”, only open to foreigners. I know you love photography, so why not give it a try.
The contest welcomes submissions about natural scenery, famous places or historical sites, local customs of China and so forth.

Each participant can turn in three photos at most to Liuying@chinadaily Deadline for entries is …
For more information, you can refer to China Daily’s official website.
Yours, Li Hua
作文二One possible version:
In the picture, there stands a tree full of fruit on one side of the stream. Across the stream, a man is trying to reach out on the edge of the bank for the fruit with a net attached
to a pole. Not far away there is bridge that can lead him to the tree for more fruit.
The message conveyed in the picture is clear. In pursuing a dream, we might focus on only one way of making it come true, forgetting that there may be alternatives. As indicated in the picture, if the man is willing to look for other possibilities, he can find a better and more rewarding way to achieve his goal. All he has to do is to turn around, cross the bridge and walk to the tree.
