第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分 40 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
The London Underground (The Tube）
The main source of public transport in London revolves around the Underground (or the Tube
as it is known to Londoners). This network of 12 lines can get you to most places in the center of the
city quickly.It’s most necessary to get an Oyster Card or a Travelcard. Single tickets are priced starting at
the intentionally absurd (荒谬的) price of £ 4.80 (Zone 1-3), if you pay cash. Using an Oyster card, a
single fare is £ 2.30 if you are traveling within the central Zone 1.
On hot days it is also advisable to take a bottle of water with you as Underground trains are not
air-conditioned.
Last trains leave central London at around 00:30 weekdays, 23:30 Sundays. First trains leave
the suburbs at around 5:00.
The Bus System
Outside the center of London, Tube stations are farther apart, so buses help fill the gaps. Also,
the bus offers a cheaper alternative, even if it is a slower journey.
Cash fares for London buses have been abolished — you cannot pay cash. A bus fare costs £ 1.50 if
using only buses, the fare is capped at £ 4.40 per day for Oyster or contactless users.
River Services
There are a number of different routes along the River Thames. The faster commuter services
operate all day from Greenwich Pier to Embankment and from Putney and Chelsea harbour to
Blackfriars during Peak Hours only. These routes will pass a number of places of interest including
the Houses of Parliament and London Bridge. A return fare from Putney to Blackfriars will cost
about 12 pounds.
National Rail
Once you leave Central London or if you are traveling South of the River Thames, the best public
transport option will often be National Rail. There are numerous connections to the Rail System
from the Tube. Travelcards can be used for travel on the National Rail (but not the Heathrow
Express). Oyster cards can be used up to Zone 6 except certain services including Heathrow Express,
Heathrow Connect and HSI.
21．When taking the London Underground, ________.
A． you should buy tickets with cash B． you can save more money with a single
ticket
C． you can go to any place in London quickly
D． you are advised to take a bottle of water along on hot days
22．If you use river services along the River Thames, you will pass ________.A． London Bridge B． Stratford C． Canary Wharf D． Tower
Hill
23．To travel South of the River Thames, it is recommended that you use ________.
A． The London Underground B． The Bus System
C． The DLR and the Tram D． National Rail
B
Twenty-five young musicians from around the world have come to California to train and
perform this month. They will take part in an international program called iPalpiti. The name
comes from the Italian word for heartbeats.

player from Germany. He serves as concertmaster, the link between the musicians and conductor.
"lt’s so great that you have so many sensitive musicians. They all are very alert and awake and listen
to each other and it's a lot of fun. " Turkish viola player Can Sakul says the international group
works we’ll together. "The experience is a cultural as well as a musical exchange," said Russian
violinist SemyonPromoe. " Everyone has their own opinion of music, how to play every
composition. It's very interesting to interact with everybody, to play together and to create one
opinion for everybody. "
This year, the festival focuses on music from the 1600s to the 1900s. But cello player Franciaco
Vila of Ecuador said the music has no geographic boundaries Vila added that the musicians get to
know more about each other as they perform great music.
"It's interesting to see where we intersect(交集) , how many things we have in common. And
also the music world is quite small, so you're only one person away from knowing everyone else"

C
The Iranian-American Maz Jobrani knew early in life that he wanted to become an actor or a
comedian. Jobrani came to California with his parents from Iran when he was six and attended
school there. His introduction to acting was an experience of trying out for a school play. “When I
was 12, I tried out for the school play and fell in love with the stage...” said Jobrani, “I have friends
who were funnier than I was!”
Jobrani tried an ordinary career path, studying political science in college and even starting a
Ph.D．Program at UCLA．But the comedy of Eddie Murphy was a more powerful influence. “I’m a
comedian because I’m a fan of comedy. I love watching comedy and I believe I discovered Eddie
Murphy probably by watching “Saturday Night Live” and just then I wanted to be like Eddie
Murphy,” Jobrani said.
Now as a full-time comedian, Maz Jobrani uses comedy to bridge the cultural divide. His
performances both laugh at extremism and challenge American bias( 偏 见 )of Muslims. And his
recent movie does the same. He co-wrote and started in “Jimmy Vestvood: American Hero.”
“The movie is about a man who loves America, who wins the green card coming to America
from Iran. He wants to be a policeman. But once he comes to America, he realizes America doesn’t
accept immigrants(移民)the way he thought they would and the only job he can find is working as a
security guard(保安)and from there he has to go on to save the world.”“This comedy has a message of showing Iranians in a very different light, a fun light that most
Americans aren’t used to seeing,” he said. For example, he feared when he first heard the phrase
“axis of evil,” which is used to describe such countries as Iran. But he soon realized it could also
make a great name for a series of shows. So, in 2005, the “Axis of Evil Comedy” Tour came. The
shows featured Jobrani and three other comedians of Middle Eastern descent(血统).The group first
appeared on the American television channel Comedy Central.
It’s a good feeling when you realize it’s working. It’s the worst when you’re doing stand-up (单
人说笑表演的)comedy and the audience doesn’t relate to you. But their laugh is like a drug keeping
feeding you. It’s kind of like I were surfing. So whether it’s doing stand-up comedy or putting on a
movie, your goal as a comedian is to make people laugh.
28．By introducing his comedian career, Jobrani tends to tell us that ________.
A．he is actually a born comedian B．Americans’ lifestyle makes him a comedian
C．Eddie Murphy has a great influence on him D．Murphy’s plays made him first like comedy
29．What do you know about Jobrani’s film “American Hero”?
A．It is all about his personal experiences. B．It is about Iranians who are against
Americans.
C．It mainly plays a joke on the US immigrant policy. D．It makes fun of American bias of
Muslims.
30．What do you learn about the “Axis of Evil Comedy” Tour?
A．It turns what’s frightening into something funny. B．It is performed by Jobrani and two
Iranians.
C．It blames the US’ unfriendly attitude to Iran. D．It didn’t work well at the very
beginning.
31．To comedians, ________.
A．stand-up comedy is difficult to perform. B．the audience’s laughter is their
power.
C．doing stand-up comedy is just like surfing D．lead you to be a powerful man.
D

How to Store Strawberries
You’ve scored some beautiful strawberries and brought them home with great care. You’ve
washed a few and eaten them immediately, but what to do with the rest? 36． These simple tips for
storing strawberries guarantee the least waste:
First things first, don’t wash the strawberries until you’re ready to eat them. Strawberries are
ready to absorb water.37．
If you plan on eating or cooking with the berries within a day and it’s not too terribly hot in
your kitchen, you can leave the strawberries out at room temperature. Put them in a pretty bowl
within easy eyesight so people remember to eat them.
38． Take a shallow bowl or plate with a clean kitchen towel. Place the unwashed strawberries
in more or less a single layer and refrigerate them. Stored this way, very fresh strawberries will keep
for several days. The closer you can create this dry and un-pressed situation, the better.39．
If you’re not planning on using the strawberries within a few days, you’d better freeze them
rather than keep them all fresh. Frozen strawberries are perfect for baking up in cakes, and other
treats.40． They say frozen strawberries hold their shape better. Besides, whenever you have
strawberries about to be not at their best, you can also place them in the freezer. By the end of
strawberry season, you’ll likely have enough of them to make jam.
A．There are different answers to this question.
B．They say frozen ones are to be more easily stored.
C．Actually, many bakers prefer frozen berries to fresh ones.
D．Again, don’t wash them until you’re going to use them!
E. And once they’ve met with water, they are quick to rot away.
F. For overnight storage, however, you’d better refrigerate them.
G. Strawberries can go bad easily, especially when not stored correctly.

I’m so sorry to hear that you have some trouble fitting in with your new classmates. Actually, the
issue you are faced with is just what I went through when I entered the high school. So I do
understand your feelings. But you see, I’m getting along well with my classmates now, and I’m fully
convinced that you’ll soon be accustomed to your life there. After all, the majority of us need a
period of time to adapt to a new environment.
Here are some suggestions for you. To begin with, it would be especially great if you are
friendly and helpful to everyone. They are sure to be moved by your kindness. In addition,
participate in various activities as much as possible. You can make friends during the process.
Furthermore, why don’t you chat with them first? You don’t have to worry about your English
because they will assist you with it.
I really hope you’ll get used to your life and I believe that they will accept you sooner or later.
