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)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项 A、B、C 和 D 中四个选项
中,选出最佳选项。
A
My name is Lwazi Nzimande. I started my schooling at Thukeyan
a Primary Farm School in Underberg, KwaZuluNatal.
I had a favourite teacher in primary school. Her name was Miss
Dube. She taught me natural science and human social sciences in gra
de six and seven, and had a way of pushing learners to be able to thi
nk for themselves. She made sure that each and every learner took par
t in every lesson. She used pictures, diagrams (图表) and other things
to make learning easier and more unforgettable, moving at a pace that
was suitable for all students. As a teacher, she showed patience, respec
t, openmindedness, and reliability (可靠性). Now you see why she wa
s my favourite teacher in primary school, don't you?
In my opinion, patience, respect, openmindedness, and reliability a
re some of the things that all teachers should have and show. A patie
nt teacher is one who understands that some learners need more explan
ation that others than to understand something in class. He or she sho
uld always be willing to help learners. An openminded teacher will g
o beyond what is found in the textbook. A teacher who is respected w
ill find it easy to control a class. Respect is earned through what a te
acher says to learners or how he or she deals with them in general.
Miss Dube often told us not to badmouth or make fun of others. She also did so. She never badmouthed other teachers in front of us.
Also, Miss Dube never made fun of her learners. She thought making
fun of learners in front of others would hurt them and damage their c
onfidence.
Miss Dube was also very honest. From my point of view, that's a
lso what a good teacher should be like. If she didn't have an answer t
o a question, she would let her learners know. This set a good exampl
e to the learners.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。Miss Dube 是作者小学阶段最
喜欢的老师,这是为什么呢?
21.Why was Miss Dube the author's favourite teacher?
A.Because of her rich knowledge.
B.Because of her good appearance.
C.Because of her teaching style and character.
D.Because of her lifestyle and attitude to students.
答案与解析:C 推理判断题。根据第二段的内容,可知本段主要介
绍了 Miss Dube 的教学方式,又根据这一段的“As a teacher, she showed
patience, respect, openmindedness, and reliability. Now you see why s
he was my favourite teacher in primary school, don't you?”可知答案。
22.What does the author think an openminded teacher should
do?
A.Pay close attention to every student's improvement.
B.Tell about something outside the textbook.
C.Avoid believing everything in the textbook.
D.Show great respect for her students.
答案与解析:B 细节理解题。根据第三段的“An openminded teach
er will go beyond what is found in the textbook.”可知,一位思想开明
的老师不会仅仅局限于课本,会讲一些课外的知识。
23.What can we learn about Miss Dube from Paragraph 4?A.She liked praising her students.
B.She was very confident in class.
C.She got along well with other teachers.
D.She set a good example to her students.
答案与解析:D 推理判断题。根据第四段的内容可知,Miss Dube
经常教育学生不要说别人坏话或嘲笑别人,她自己也能以身作则,从不
在学生面前说别的老师的坏话,也不取笑学生,给学生树立了榜样。
24.What does the underlined word “This” in the last paragraph
mean?
A.Being a very patient teacher.
B.Answering students' questions.
C.Being honest in front of students.
D.Teaching students very difficult things.
答案与解析:C 代词指代题。根据末段的“Miss Dube was also ver
y honest.”以及“If she didn't have an answer to a question, she would
let her learners know.”可知“This”是指在学生面前很诚实一事。
B
A snowboarder was feeling lucky to be alive yesterday after a hel
icopter rescue (直升机营救).
Ben Akintola, 30, was snowboarding in the French Alps under a c
lear blue sky in the afternoon when a large amount (数量) of snow fel
l down the side of the mountain. He didn't have time to escape (逃脱)
and it hit him with full force and knocked him senseless.
He woke in the middle of the night in total darkness. He was lyi
ng on an icy rock. Amazingly, he still had a mobile phone signal (信
号), so he called a friend a thousand kilometers away in Britain. His f
riend called the French rescue services.
“I was waiting for what seemed like hours on that rock. I was b
eginning to give up hope when I heard the sound of a helicopter. It w
as circling around in the darkness, looking for me. I was trying my best to wave my mobile around. Fortunately the helicopter pilot saw the
light.”
“I was overjoyed when the helicopter headed my way. It stayed
above me and began lowering a rope.”
Ben was in hospital last night but he was not being treated for an
y serious injuries. He's looking forward to going home today.
The French rescue services said: “We were very pleased that we
were able to save Ben. The risk of snowslide offpiste (非滑雪场地的)
is much higher at this time of year. All snowboarders and skiers shoul
d stay on the ski runs and not go offpiste. Ben was very lucky.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了一名滑雪者
在阿尔卑斯山遭遇雪崩后被营救的故事。
25.The French rescue services learned about Ben's difficulty _____
___.
A.from his friend
B.in the early afternoon
C.after receiving his call
D.when seeing his mobile
答案与解析:A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“His friend called the

A.It made him strong in the darkness.
B.It caused him to hope for the best.
C.It was shorter than he expected.
D.It was a little discouraging.
答案与解析:D 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“I was waiting for
what seemed like hours on that rock. I was beginning to give up hope”
可知,Ben 在漫长的等待过程中开始有点灰心失望。27.What's the best title for the text?
A.A Lucky Escape
B.A Rocky Mountain
C.Risks of Snowboarding
D.French Rescue Services
答案与解析:A 主旨大意题。文章首段“A snowboarder was feeling
lucky to be alive yesterday after a helicopter rescue”为全文的中心思想,
下文围绕此话题展开叙述。由此可知,A 项作标题合适。
C
Science is a great subject to satisfy the natural curiosity (好奇心)
of a child. Science helps answer the questions a child asks. Science ex
periments are a perfect way for children to become clearer about how
the world around them works. Science experiments can lead to great id
eas in children's minds. They enable children to find solutions to big p
roblems later in their adulthood. Therefore, it is no surprise that scienc
e experiments for students are becoming more and more popular these
days.
Students in the 5th grade already do science experiments. A scien
ce experiment is a good learning experience for students in the 5th gra
de. Apart from learning science, science experiments cover much more.
A science experiment for the 5th grade requires reading, writing, spelli
ng, math, and many other important skills. Science experiments enable
students of the 5th grade to use everything they've learnt over the cour
se of their study in early grades.
Science experiments for students in the 5th grade don't need to be
necessarily difficult. What is of importance is that the science project s
hould be to the students' liking. The students should choose the project
s that can be completed in a short period of time.
There are several types of science experiments that can be done at
home or at school. Tons of ideas can be found on the Internet. It sho
uld be kept in mind that the simplest science experiment projects can
present the greatest challenges to a kid whose intelligence (智力) is de
veloping.When you design science experiments for children, your main con
cerns are safety and health together with education. When you design
science experiments, it is important for you to make sure that the stud
ents can follow certain safety rules to keep themselves and others safe.
If anything goes wrong during the course of the experiment, adults sho
uld come to their rescue. It is a good idea to ask the parents before u
sing any of their home belongings in an experiment.
【语篇解读】 五年级学生已经开始做科学实验了,作者就此分享
了一些他的想法。
28.According to Paragraph 1, what does the author think of scien
ce experiments?
A.They're very important to children.
B.They can be big problems for children.
C.They're not popular enough among children.
D.They mainly satisfy children's natural curiosity.
答案与解析:A 推理判断题。综合第一段的内容可知,作者认为
科学实验可以满足孩子们的好奇心,帮助他们了解世界,开拓他们的创
新思维,为他们以后解决问题提供方法,所以作者认为科学实验对孩子
们很重要。
29.What can we know from the last paragraph?
A.Children should never do a dangerous experiment.
B.Children should always do a science experiment at school.
C.Adults should teach a 5th grader to finish a science experiment
.
D.Adults should be there when a 5th grader is doing science exp
eriments.
答案与解析:D 推理判断题。根据末段的“If anything goes wrong
during the course of the experiment, adults should come to their rescue
.”可知,五年级的小孩在家里做实验时需要有大人在场,以防有突发情
况的发生。30.What's the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To introduce some science experiments.
B.To encourage people to do science experiments.
C.To share ideas on science experiments for 5th graders.
D.To explain why 5th graders love doing science experiments.
答案与解析:C 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,作者在本文主要
就五年级学生在做科学实验方面分享了一些自己的想法。

答案:
Dear Tom,
How are you doing?
In the email you asked about your holiday. In my opinion, if I
were you, I'd go with my family, because you told me your parents w
ere always busy and you couldn't talk with them often. Why don't you
take the chance and go with them? You can have a nice talk with yo
ur parents. Last time you told me you would start learning to swim ne
xt weekend, and you'll be much busier than now, so I'd advise you to
go with your family.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节 读后续写(满分 25 分)
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
When I saw her tonight, she recognized me and smiled sweetly. I
smiled back at her. She looked more relaxed even though she was still
busy doing her_job. I had noticed her several times during the last fe
w months and she looks so much happier now. Tonight when I talked
with her, I noticed her name tag. Her name is Pamela.
Pamela works at the express checkouts (结账处) in a busy superm
arket. She deals_with problems when the selfserve checkout has a pro
blem (no price tag on the product, machine problems, etc.). She monit
ors these checkouts and often she had hardly dealt with one complaint
(抱怨) before another appeared.
When I first talked to Pamela, I called her to the checkout I was
using. There wasn't any problem with the checkout though. My proble
m or should I say care was about Pamela. She looked tired and was u
nder a lot of stress as she quickly moved from one checkout to the ne
xt. It's a bit of a firefighting job.I told Pamela that she needed to slow_down. I told her that we, t
he customers,_could wait and it was very bad for her health to put he
rself under too much pressure. I told her that customers' expectations
(期望) were not as high as she had imagined. Pamela told me she wo
uld follow my advice. I could tell she was touched — not only did I
notice her stress but I chose to talk to her about it. I was concerned a
bout her wellbeing. I gently told her that things had to be changed. I
also told her I would pay more attention to her in future to see if she
would make any changes. She smiled and said, “I promise I will.”

答案:
Paragraph 1:
When I saw her, she was still doing her job but there was such
a difference. Now Pamela said that customers would just wait their tur
n when she was dealing_with another customer. She also solved the m
achine problems in order. She was cool and calm in her_job. I was ha
ppy to see these changes in her tonight and I praised her. She told m
e that not only did she tell her husband what I had said, but she also
shared it with a lot of her partners.
Paragraph 2:
I am proud of myself. I walked away from Pamela with a light heart. She has
listened to me and in turn encouraged her partners to slow_down and
reminded them to care about their health. I have succeeded in helping Pamela
to reduce stress and feel relaxed. Most importantly, it seemed that I also
helped others at the same time. We are very small, but we are capable of big
things. I really feel very happy and satisfied.
