第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）
第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）
A
One-hundred-and seventh birthdays aren’t usually celebrated for authors who aren’t alive anymore. But Theodor Seuss Geisel---better known as the children’s books author Dr. Seuss ---who came into the world on 2 March, 1904, was an unusual man.
Like generations of children I was raised on his wonderful stories. But when I now read them to my children it’s not just the childhood memories I enjoy. His writing is brilliant and imaginative and flows with a self-confidence as sure as the words of a Shakespeare poem. Readers ride his characteristic rhythm (韵律) with an effortless joy that cannot be matched by any other modern writer:
You have brains in your head
You have feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself any direction you choose
And will you succeed?
Yes indeed, yes indeed!
Ninety-eight and three-quarters percent guaranteed.
Seuss’s brilliant cartoons and clever words make his books a delight for adults but they attract mostly children of course. His stories teach kids moral lessons but in indirect and entertaining ways.
The first Seuss book I was given was The Lorax, written just as the 60s were becoming the 70s. Seuss was ahead of his time, and in this book the dawn of concern for environmental problems are shown as the Lorax “who speaks for the trees” battles against an evil businessman who wants to destroy the forest and make goods “which
everyone needs”.
It’s not only a warning of the heavy price of environmental destruction, written well before most people had thought to worry, but it’s also a smart analysis of consumer societies: “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better.” This is of course a moral message, but not of the kind designed to persuade the youngsters into behavior that adults want.
21. Why does the author include Dr. Seuss’s poem?
A. To encourage readers to use their brains and choose their own way.
B. To provide readers with an example of Seuss’s writing style.
C. To give readers a sample of Seuss’s story The Lorax.
D. To explain how relevant Seuss’s stories remain today.
22.When was the book The Lorax written?
A. Early 1960s. B. Early 1970s. C. Late 1970s. D. Late 1960s.
23. Which of the following is true about Seuss?
A. His books are more popular now than when they were first published.
B. He is widely considered as the twentieth-century Shakespeare.
C. Many of the issues he discussed attracted greater concern in later years.
D. Most readers thought his ideas were difficult to understand.
B
Even before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family.Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining ,“Mom, I can't peel （削）potatoes.I have only one hand.”
Mom never looked up from sewing.“You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes ,”she told me.“And don't ever use that as an excuse for anything again !”
In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel bar to the next.When it was my turn, I shook my head.Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.
That night I told Mom about it.She hugged me, and I saw her “we'll see about that” look.The next afternoon, she took me back to school.At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.
“Now, pull up with your right arm ,”she advised.She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other arm.Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung(横档)I reached.I'd never forget the next time, crossing the rungs，I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.
One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing.I could hear Mom come into my room.“Mom ,”I said, weeping ,“none of the boys would dance with me.”
For a long time, I didn't hear anything.Then she said ,“Oh, honey, someday you'll be beating those boys off with a bat.”Her voice was soft and weak.I glanced at her to see tears running down her cheeks.Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf.She had never let me see her tears.
24. Which of the following expressions can be used most suitably to describe Mom's attitude when she made the child peel potatoes?
A. Cruel. B. Favorable. C. Faithful. D. Strict.
25. From the passage, we know monkey bars can help a child train ________.
A. the strength and skill to hang and swing B. the speed of one's hand movement
C. the skill to throw and catch things D. the skill to circle round a bar
26. We may conclude from the passage that _____.
A. the last incident was sad enough to make Mom weep
B. The child’s experience reminded Mom of that of her own
C. Mom suffered more in the process of the child’s growth
D. Mom could solve any problem
C
Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course.However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.
The total amount of packaging（包装） increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household's waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.
Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example,is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming
round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.
But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to link
packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality.This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.
There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material we are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.
27. What does the underlined phrase "over-consumption" refer to?
A.Using too much packaging.
B. Having more material than is needed.
C.Recycling too many wastes.
D.Making more products than necessary.
28. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show_______.
A.the fact of packaging overuse
B.the increase of packaging recycling
C. the tendency of cutting household waste
D.the rapid growth of supermarkets
29. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A.Unpackaged products are of bad quality.
B. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.
C.Other products are better packaged than food.
D.Supermarkets care more about packaging.
30. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Needless material is mostly recycled.
B.People like collecting recyclable wastes.
C. Fighting wastefulness is difficult.
D.The author is proud of their consumer culture.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
Things You Should Stop Doing to Be Successful
Are you a happy person? How often do you think of reasons why everyone around you is successful though they are not better than you in general? What do you do wrong? Here are some things you should stop doing to be successful.
31
Different people may interpret(解说) “success” in different ways： some of them measure it in money, other ones — in positive changes to people around them and the world in general. 32 Don’t worry about what other people think but come after what makes you happy.
Do not believe anything without questioning it.
33 They are critical（批判性的） thinkers, and they understand that we all are ruled by our prejudices, so they will always question new information.
Do not worry about all unpredictable things that may happen to you.
If you want to be successful, stop thinking about everything that MAY happen to you. 34 Be ready to improve and change your deeds and decisions when things suddenly don’t go according to your plan.
Do not care about what other people think of you.
35 Your attempts to become “good” for everyone will turn into nothing but new worries, stresses, and problems. Successful people do not concentrate on the quantity of people to please, but worry about their quality and focus on developing friendships with people they really care about.
A. Do not wait for the “right time” to do anything.
B. Do not let others decide what “success” is for you.
C. Successful people do not just accept any new information to be true.
D.As far as we all know, it’s impossible to please all the people who surround us.
E. Successful people never ignore or avoid problems，no matter how big and awful they seem.
F. If you want to be successful, do not let others force their interpretation of success on you.
G. Try to feel comfortable with the reality and accept the fact your future can’t be predicted.

“Will you take me to go trick-or-treating, Chad?”Zoe asked when I came home from school.My little sister was already wearing her fairy wings and taking a wand (魔杖).
“Mom’s taking you,”I said. “Mommy slipped on the mat and hurt her ankle,”my sister said. Mom limped(一拐一拐地走) down the hallway just then, and her left ankle was wrapped in a bandage.“I’ll be OK sitting in the car. But could you take Zoe from door to door? She’s really been looking forward to Halloween.”“I’ve been looking
forward to it, too,”I said and didn’t want anything out of expectation.
I had to admit, though, Zoe was more excited than I was. She’d been trying on her costume(化妆服)every day for a week.“I’m a fairy,” she’d say,twirling(旋转)around.“I have plans with my friends,”I said.Our plans consisted of racing around the neighborhood to collect as much candy as we could, not bothering too much with costumes.
“Please, Chad,”Zoe begged. “Fine.” There would be my chance for fun and candy,I thought.Zoe twirled on her toes. Later, Zoe walked to the first house while I hung back.“I don’t want anyone to know that I’m taking you to go trick-or-treating,” I’d said to her. I’d told my friends that I couldn’t hang out with them tonight, but I didn’t tell them why, being afraid of being laughed at.
“Take a candy bag,” said Mom sitting in the car at the end of the block.When I turned back, Zoe was already 15 steps ahead. “Zoe, wait!”Zoe stopped and turned around. “Hurry, hurry,”she said.I ran to catch up. Looking after her would be more work than I’d expected.

应用文写作
Mr. Headmaster,
I am Li Yue, a student from Class 1, Senior II. I am writing to draw your attention to some improper behaviour among us students: littering and scribbling. It makes our school dirty and unpleasant, and does hard to the image of our school. I always feel ashamed whenever I see this.
It is clearly not appropriate for a student to litter and scribble about. I wonder if the school could place more dustbins around and set up specific rules against such behaviour. At the same time, students should be encouraged to develop good habits and better behave themselves. I believe that, with the joint efforts of both teachers and students, our school will become a more enjoyable place in the near future.
Thank you for your consideration.
Yours faithfully,
Li Yue
短文续写
【写作提示】
原文讲的是妹妹请求哥哥带她去玩万圣节的游戏,
哥哥刚开始因为和朋友们有约定而不愿带她,后来禁不住妹妹的再三请求而决定带她玩。根据第一段的提示句可知,本段的主要内容应该是妹妹到邻居家“Trick or treat”的过程的描述。而第二段则是遇到了哥哥的朋友之后的故事。第一段描述情景较为简单,但是第二段的故事一定要和原文中哥哥的心理变化,保持一致。
【参考范文】
Paragraph 1:
“Trick or treat!” she said at the next house. The door opened. A woman stepped out. “Aren’t you so cute?” Zoe held up her candy bag. “Are you alone?” the woman asked, peering around worriedly. “No,” Zoe pointed a finger at my hiding place in the bushes. “ Oh, no,” I thought. She’s going to announce me to the world. “Can he have a candy, too, please?” Zoe asked instead. The woman laughed and gave her some more candies, which was out of my expectation. People’s faces lit up as soon as they saw Zoe.
Paragraph 2:
On our way to the car, we ran into my friend Jeff on the sidewalk. “This is how you spent Halloween?” he said. But he didn’t laugh at me. On the contrary, he said I was lucky to have a lovely sister. “You became a Halloween hero because of looking after your sister.” “Yes!” I said I was Zoe’s superhero now. As we rode back home, Mom smiled at me. “And did you have fun?” “Actually, I did,” I said. Halloween with Zoe had turned out to be pretty magical.
