第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分 35 分）

项涂黑。
A
Sandy, a young Chinese Singaporean, is fluent in English and Mandarin, the official “mother
tongue” of Chinese Singaporeans. Her grandmother spoke little of either.
Their language barrier was the product of decades of linguistic(语言的) engineering. English has
been the language of teaching in nearly all schools since 1987, to promote Singapore’s global competitive
advantage. But, depending on ethnicity(种族特点), pupils study a second language—typically Mandarin,
Malay or Tamil. In the case of Mandarin, its acquisition has been promoted by the government’s annual
“Speak Mandarin Campaign”, started in 1979.
So dialects — Hokkien, Cantonese and Hakka — were disparaged. In the early 1980s television and
radio programming in these languages almost disappeared. By the campaign’s own standard, the success
is striking. The use of Chinese dialects at home has fallen down from 76% of Chinese households in 1980
to 16% in 2015. Over the same period, the use of Mandarin rose, from 13% of Chinese households to
46%.
In 2015, the 50th anniversary of the nation’s founding was accompanied by an rush of sentimentality
over Singapore’s roots. These days officials are a bit readier to tolerate Singapore’s linguistic variety.
Meanwhile, younger Singaporeans are embracing former mother tongues. Ski Yeo and Eugene Lee were
motivated to found LearnDialect.sg upon seeing an elderly Cantonese-speaker in a nursing home struggle
to communicate that she was cold. Health workers have signed up to their courses, while others want to
say the right things at family gatherings over the lunar new year.
21. What can we know about the Speak Mandarin Campaign?
A. It made Mandarin an official language in 1987.
B. Mandarin was greatly strengthened as a result of it.
C. It was held every other year since 1979.
D. It makes no difference to young people in Singapore.
22. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “disparaged” in the third paragraph?
A. Strengthened. B. Praised. C. Undervalued. D. Well-understood.
23. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Young people lack communication with their family.
B. Health workers are faced with difficulties due to language barrier.
C. The officials object to the variety of languages.
D. The younger generation of Singapore attach importance to Mandarin.第 3 页 共 10 页

The giant panda is beloved of conservationists. It is one of the most recognisable large animals in
the world. But it is also evolutionarily odd. It is a type of bear but it is a herbivore(食草动物). It is ironic,
then, that this icon of the natural world might actually be an accidental consequence of human activity.
Yet this is a convincing interpretation of results just published in a paper in Current Biology, by Wei
Fuwen of the Institute of Zoology, in Beijing.
Pandas are not merely herbivores, they are monovores—merely eating bamboo only. Dr Wei
wondered when this transition to monovory happened. The answer was, far more recently than anyone
had expected.
Dr Wei studied carbon and nitrogen isotopes(同位素) in the bones of a dozen ancestral pandas,
dating from between 11,000 and 5,000 years ago, and compared them with those of modern pandas. The
study shows that the ancient pandas lived in more varied environments and had broader diets. What is
more, they were not yet the obligate( 专 性 的 ) bamboo feeders which they are today, and they were
making subtropical zones and open land their home, rather than living merely in bamboo forests. The
question is, what made them change?
There is one obvious possible cause: the spread of man. Organised states clearly existed by about
5,000 years ago. Growing human populations could easily have displaced the ancestors of modern pandas
to fringe areas where there was little to eat but bamboo. And if bamboo is all there is to eat, then those
that prefer to eat it will be at an evolutionary advantage. The modern, bamboo-eating panda—symbol of
animals under pressure from man—may thus have been made the way it is by precisely such human
pressures.
24. How did Dr. Wei conduct research into the transition of pandas?
A. Studying the diets of pandas.
B. Calculating the number of pandas.
C. Studying the structure of genes of pandas.
D. Analyzing the isotopic composition of pandas’ bones and teeth.
25. What may lead to the change of pandas’ broad diets to eating bamboo only?
A. The change of their genes.
B. The intended invasion of other herbivores.
C. The unintentional expansion of human activity.
D. The decline in their habitat and thus the shortage of food.
26. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Panda Evolution: By the Hand of Man? B. Panda: beloved but odd
C. Panda: Herbivores or Monovores? D. A Study of Ancient Pandas
C
Katie always knew she wanted to be a performer. She was fond of Disney movies from an early age
and would often sing along with her mom, Karen.
When Katie was nine years old, her happy childhood took a turn when her mother was diagnosed
with cancer. When the doctor informed the Whetsell family that Karen's disease was terminal, they made
a decision. Disney World had been a longtime dream vacation for Karen. So in November 1997, the
family packed up and headed to Disney World. Katie says she'll never forget the moment that changed
her life on that trip: After a long day at the parks, the Whetsells decided to see one of Disney World's
many nightly light shows. While watching, a Disney cast member performing in the parade came up to
her mom and rested her hand on Karen's shoulder. They exchanged smiles and, to this day, Katie
remembered how at peace her mom looked. The whole family was touched and moved to tears. This was
the day Katie decided she wanted to work for Disney.
After graduating from college, Katie went on to pursue performing for a living. She struggled for
years, working as a waitress and trying to make it as an actor. Her hard work and passion finally paid off
when she was hired to work on Disney Cruise Lines in 2009. Katie's favorite friend in the Disney World
is Dory in "Finding Nemo the Musical". She says that Dory has taught her the value of living in the
present moment and to "just keep swimming."
Katie has never lost sight of the fact that she and others who work for the company bring joy to the 第 4 页 共 10 页
lives of many every day. "Everything we do at the parks makes a difference to many families. It's a way
for us to help them forget. It's amazing to be able to comfort others." When asked what her mother would
think of her working at Disney World, she takes a deep breath and allows the tears to flow. "I just feel
like she'd be so proud. I can feel her presence often and I feel her having a part in what I do. It's perfect."
27. Why did the Whetsell family decide to go to Disney World in November 1997?
A. The Disney World has always been a good place for vacation.
B. Karen was seriously ill and Disney World was what she had dreamed for.
C. The Whetsell family were all fond of Disney characters.
D. Katie always wanted to go to the Disney World to be a performer.
28. What happened during the Disney trip that changed Katie’s life?
A. Katie took part in the parade performance and realized her dream.
B. The whole family enjoyed themselves in the nightly light shows.
C. A performer in the Disney parade brought comfort to her mom.
D. Karen was invited to perform with cast members and she felt satisfied.
29. What’s the purpose to mention Katie’s favorite friend Dory?
A. To inform us more of Katie’s struggling life.
B. To introduce another Disney character named Dory.
C. To imply Katie’s understanding of life.
D. To tell us the importance to keep going.
30. Which of the following can best describe Katie’s personality?

C. Selfless and sympathetic. D. Persistent and positive.
第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）
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。
Laziness is a state of inaction. It’s something that you do, not something that you are. 31 This
is obvious but the mistake that many people make is identifying themselves as someone who is lazy.
Lazy people are the ones who don’t do anything. You can view a student who never studies as lazy. You
can see an employee who doesn’t do his work has being lazy. 32 But are they really being lazy or
are they acting lazy?
There is a huge difference between saying you act lazy sometimes and you are a lazy person. 33
This is the myth of laziness. People who are lazy aren’t lazy; they simply are people who are temporarily
acting that way.
So what causes a person to be inactive? 34 If you give someone a good enough reason to
do something, they will do it. If you give them a reason, a strong enough reason that is, they will take
action. For example, if you are too lazy to go to the gym, would you go if someone offered you a million
dollars to go? If you are too lazy to clean out the garage, would someone pointing a gun to your head help
you take action?
35 Before you take action though, you need a compelling reason to do so. To motivate
someone who is lazy, what you need to do is help them find purpose and enough reasons to work towards
a certain goal.
A. The answer is a lack of goals and purpose.
B. They can be seen as underachievers or even bums.
C. Being lazy means you have no motivation to do anything.
D. In all of these cases, what the lazy person is doing is being lazy.
E. One is suggesting that your laziness is temporary while the other suggests that it’s permanent.
F. The bottom line of overcoming laziness comes down to finding enough reasons to take action.
G. People who don’t seem to do anything just haven’t found a good enough reason to do anything.

Jeremiah 54 came to the doorway, his hands behind his back.

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man called Ben was allowed to
sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the
room’s only window. The other man, Leo, had to spend all his time flat on his back.
The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs,
their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.
And every afternoon when Ben sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the
things he could see outside the window. Leo began to live for those one-hour periods where his world
would be broadened and lightened by all the activity and color of the world outside.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while
children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color of the
rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the
distance. As Ben described all this in exquisite detail, Leo would close his eyes and imagine the
picturesque scene.
One warm afternoon Ben sit up with his elbows and described a parade passing by. Although Leo
couldn’t hear the band – he could see it in his mind’s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it
with descriptive words. Each time the nurse saw the warm and touching scene, she was always struck by
devoted friendship between these two men. Days and weeks passed.

应用文参考范文：
Dear Sir or Madam,
Learning that many wild animals are being killed and become extinct due to merciless human activities, I’m writing to
express great concern and offer you some suggestions.
Undoubtedly, hunting wild animals will cause the imbalance of our ecosystem and result in the spread of infectious
diseases from animals to human beings. From where I’m standing, never should we have wild animals for food, since they
are part of environment. Additionally, the government are supposed to introduce relevant regulations to punish the hunters
severely.
Sincerely hope you could take my proposals into consideration. Anticipating your prompt reply.
Yours,

One morning, the nurse arrived to check the two men, only to find the lifeless body of Ben. After his death, the ward
was filled with dead silence. Lying in the bed, Leo couldn’t help to staring at the only window, tears pouring down his
cheek. Dying to see the view described by Ben, Leo asked if he could be moved next to thewindow. The nurse was happy
to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable she left him alone. Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up
on one elbow and strained to turn to take his first look at the world through the window.
However, he could see nothing but a blank wall of another building. Stunned and paralyzed, Leo couldn’t believe
what he thought to be a picturesquescene was just a blank wall. After all, Ben’s descriptions of the outside world were so
convincing and vivid. When he asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described
such wonderful things outside this window, the nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.
She said, “Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.” It was Ben’s devoted love to his dear friend that pictured an
everlasting rainbow in Leo’s world.

M: Sure, they should be there by 10:00 a.m. on Monday.
W: I guess I’ll just have to put a basin under the sink for now.

W: What do you feel like doing this weekend? Want to go to the movies?
M: Not really. I went to the movies last weekend.
W: Well, want to go ice-skating? All the lakes are frozen.
M: I’m so bad at ice-skating. Every time I go, I lose balance and fall.
W: Yeah, I’m not very good either, but it’s fun. Want to go to watch my brother’s hockey game?
M: Sure! I love hockey. I want to learn how to ice skate better so I can play someday.
W: My brother is really good. Our dad was a professional hockey player. He is retired now.
M: Really? That’s so cool!第 10 页 共 10 页
W: Thanks! My brother is playing hockey for a college team and he hopes he’ll be able to go
professional.
M: I hope so, too. Then I can say I learned hockey from a professional!
W: Well, you’re going to need to learn how to ice skate first!

W: I have some good news for you. We’ve decided we’d like to send you to Shanghai on a business trip
this weekend.
M: Oh?
W: I thought you’d be a bit more excited about it. Everything will be paid for, and I’ll send my assistant
with you to take care of everything for you. All you have to do is get on the train tonight at 7:00 p.m.
M: The train? Will I be flying back?
W: Oh, no. We’ve bought your return ticket for you. I think you’ll find it quite comfortable.
M: Will the train be very crowded?
W: Oh, no. The train hasn’t been crowded at all recently. Besides, you’re in first class, so you’ll be fine.
M: When is the first meeting then?
W: They’ve scheduled the meeting for 9:00 tomorrow morning.
M: Where will I be staying?
W: We’ve booked you a room in the same hotel as your meetings, so you won’t need to deal much with
public transportation.
M: That’s smart. Would it be all right if I left early today to prepare for the trip?
W: No problem. Get some rest if you can. You don’t know how tight the schedule is for this business
trip.
