二．阅读理解（共两节，满分 30 分）
第一节（共 10 题；每小题 2 分，满分 20 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
In ancient Greece, Socrates was a widely-recognized wise man. One day one
fellow met the great philosopher and said, “Do you know what I just heard about your
friend?”
“Hold on a minute,” Socrates replied. “Before telling me anything I’d like you to
pass a little test. It’s called the Triple Filter Test.”. “Triple filter?”. “That’s right,”
Socrates continued. “Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to
take a moment and filter what you’re going to say. That’s why I call it the triple filter
test.
The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to
tell me is true?” “No,” the man said, “actually I just heard about it and…”. “All right,”
said Socrates. “So you don’t know if it’s true or not.
Now let’s try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell
me about my friend something good?” . “No, on the contrary…”. “So,” Socrates 3
continued, “you want to tell me something bad about him, but you’re not certain it’s
true.
You may still pass the test though, because there’s one filter left: the filter of
Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?” “No,
not really.”
“Well,” concluded Socrates, “if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good
nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?”
Well we can always participate in loose talks to curb our boredom. But when it
comes to your friends its not worth it. Always avoid talking behind the back about your
near and dear friends.
21. Why did Socrates stop the fellow when he wanted to tell him about his friend?
A. Because he didn’t know the fellow.
B. Because he wanted to tell the fellow something first.
C. Because he knew the fellow wouldn’t tell him something useful.
D. Because he wanted the fellow to think twice before speaking.
22. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Socrates was a great philosopher in Ancient Greece.
B. The fellow wanted to tell Socrates something bad about his friend.
C. Socrates was curious to hear what the fellow wanted to tell him.
D. It’s not a good idea to gossip about our friends behind the back.
23. What does the underlined “curb” mean in the last paragraph?
A. increase B. describe C. reduce D. hide
B
The words “England” and “English” are perhaps the two most misused words in
the English language. The British themselves often say England and English when they
really mean Britain and British.
What’s the difference, you may ask. To understand the question we have to know
something about the history of the country and its people.
We all know that Britain is an island country separated from the European
continent by the English Channel. Actually there are two main islands. The larger one is
called Britain, or Great Britain, and the smaller one is called Ireland, and these two,
together with many small islands make up what is called the British Isles.
The British Isles is a geographical term. It is not the name of any country. At
present it is made up of two countries, the larger of which is the one we very often
inaccurately call England. The full official name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Northern Ireland, but people call it Britain or Great Britain for that. It consists of
England, Scotland, Wales and a small part of Ireland－the northeastern part.4
People still tend to call Britain England not only because England is the largest in
area and the most populous but mostly because England is the strongest and also the
most influential country in every respect before it absorbed the other three
countries(The whole of Ireland was a part of the United Kingdom at one time). Call it
national chauvinism （ 沙 文 主 义 ） if you like, but people in England call Britain
England out of habit rather than conscious sense of superiority, though it annoys the
Welsh and especially the Scots who are proud of their separate national tradition.
24. The British Isles is made up of_______.
A. one country B. two countries
C. two and a half countries D. three countries
25. The full official name of Britain is_______.
A. Great Britain
B. England
C. United Kingdom
D. the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
26. People call Britain England because of all of the following EXCEPT_______.
A. England is the largest in area and has the largest population.
B. people in England do so out of habit.
C. England is the nearest to the European continent.
D. England is the strongest and also the most influential in every respect.
27. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The formation of the UK.
B. The chauvinism of the English.
C. The location of the British Isles.
D. The difference between “English” and “British”.
C
Christmas Island, which is barely a tiny spot on the world map, sits about 250
miles south off the coast of Central Java, and 1,650 miles from Perth, the nearest
western Australian city. Technically, it’s part of Australia, but you’d never know from
its location.
Christmas Island got its name from Captain William Mynors, an English sailor
who accidentally landed on this unknown land on Christmas Day in 1643, though it
wasn’t until the late 1800s that the island was properly surveyed.
With its warm temperatures and high rainfall, Christmas Island is home to all sorts
of wildlife. Nearly two-thirds of the island is national park land, which is highly popular
with bird-watchers.
No matter where you end up in the forest, you won’t be short on sightseeing spots.
Hugh’s Dale Waterfall is eye-catching, and can only be reached by hiking through the 5
rainforest. Once you arrive at the falls, go ahead and take a shower under the crashing
water — not only is it clean enough to drink, it’s held sacred( 神 圣 的 ) by local
Buddhists, who believe it’s the center of the island’s "water universe."
Most people come for the beaches. Since the island is so small and has remained in
its natural state for so long, all kinds of colorful fish can be found swimming around the
island’s tropical reef. You might find yourself swimming with the world’s largest
fish, the whale shark, which visits Christmas Island from November to April.
To get to Christmas Island, you’ll need to fly in from Perth or Fiji. Click here for
more information.
28. Which of the following can NOT be done on Christmas Island?
A. Watch wild birds. B. Drink fresh water.
C. Cycle to Hugh’s Dale Waterfall. D. Swim with a whale shark.
29. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Central Java is a city in Australia.
B. Christmas Island is cold and wet all year round.
C. It is very dangerous to travel on Christmas Island.
D. There are many wonderful sights in the forest on the island.
30. Where is the passage most probably taken from?
A. A sport magazine. B. A website.
C. A TV show. D. A movie review.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项
为多余选项。
The first World Friendship Day was proposed for July 30, 1958 by the World
Friendship Crusade, an international civil organization to foster a culture of peace
through friendship. 31 Just as in the US and several other countries, the festival
has been greatly commercialized（商业化）.
Days before the festival, card and gift companies launch a large campaign(活动) to
attract people into buying cards and gifts for their friends. Streets and stores are filled
with advertising programs aimed at young people. 32 This marketing strategy(策略)
has been severely criticized( 批 判 ) by many people. Many feel that such crazy
commercialization has damaged the meaning of Friendship Day.
33 especially the pink and yellow ones. The day is observed with great
pleasure and merry. A highly popular thing connected with the day is the well-known
friendship band—the modern day symbol of friendship that friends give to one another
to form an everlasting bond. Friendship bands are the favorite items for youngsters and
available in stores all over the country. Friendship poems and Friendship Day gifts are 6
exchanged between best friends to renew the bond of friendship and express gratitude
and love for each other. 34
Since its beginning in 1935, Friendship Day celebrations have come a long way.
35 Friendship Day remains the time when you acknowledge your friends’
contribution in your life, express love for them, cherish their presence in your life and
pay them a salute. Today, Friendship Day is being celebrated around the globe, across
diverse cultures and social periods.
A. The popular customs of Friendship Day include handing over roses,
B. The idea of honoring friendship was adopted by a few countries in Asia.
C. Restaurants offer special discounts to make the most of the time as well.
D. These days, however, it is celebrated with a lot of showing off and expenses.
E. These are new ways of celebration of this day that have grown in popularity.
F. The original idea for a day of friendship came from Hallmark cards in the 1930s.
G. But however much the ways of celebration have changed, the basic idea behind the
occasion remains the same.

It's amazing how one dollar can change the culture of a school.

pressure as most of the kids get good 38 and try to be the best ones. It's good

leaders' lockers with a piece of paper that 45 ，“Buy yourself a snack.” We hoped to
46 small gifts every day. We didn't know the 47 it would have.
People went 48 over it and everyone was talking about who it might be
doing the acts of kindness and 49 that they should do something too. It is so much
fun to see the 50 on everyone's faces now! Lots of other people have started
sharing 51 now too: chocolate bars, cookies and money left 52 in the
vending machine( 自 动 售 货 机 ) ． And lots of notes are on the thanks board saying:
“Thanks to whoever started.”
Now I actually expect to go to school to have the chance to 53 people up. I

became friends when I was 10 and he was 11. He came to our school to study as a new
student and he sat beside me. As a result, we became good friends. Now we’re in the
same middle school. He is from a small town. His father is a sales manager and his
mother teaches English at a high school. He always completes his homework in time.
His books and exercise notebooks are very clean. Though Leo is not top of the class yet
he always tries to improve himself. He is a very good basketball player. For the last
three years he has been the leader of our school basketball team. He likes to sing songs
and he is learning the piano. He likes making friends and helping others. When we first
became friends, I wasn’t very good at my studies. With his help, I’ve made much
progress. All these qualities of Leo make him a good friend. I am proud of him.

A possible version:
Dear Sam,
In reply to your last letter, I’m writing to give you a general
account of my trip to the Dongbai Mountain with my friends last
weekend, which was quite a refreshing and rewarding excursion.
It was a perfect day for hiking, with the sun shining mildly
and clouds floating leisurely in the blue sky. As we went up along
the trail sheltered by trees on either side, we can hear birds
singing and leaves flapping gently in the breeze. Falling leaves, 13
red, yellow and orange, danced gracefully in the air like colourful
butterflies. What a fabulous picture! The higher we climbed, the
steeper it got. It was not long before we began to sweat, and my
legs felt like blocks of stone. So we took a short break on a large
rock, where we shared the snacks we had brought along. After
that, we gathered our energy and went on in a determined manner.
It was no easy work climbing such a high mountain, but the
breath-taking view on the top made it all worthwhile－we seemed
to be able to see for miles!
I do need such a chance to recharge myself, as my schoolwork
has been highly exhausting these days. Meanwhile, I’ve learned
that there is no such thing as easy success. Only with
determination and perseverance can we conquer difficulties.
Yours,
Li Hua
