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 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
*A
Confucius said, “In a group of three people, there is always something I can learn. Choose to follow the
strengths of others, and use their shortcomings to reflect upon ourselves.”
As you can see from what Confucius said, everyone that we come across can teach us something useful. As
long as we reflect on the lessons learnt from and by other people, we can continuously improve ourselves. But
take note that when you reflect on these lessons, you apply some wisdom to each lesson because each situation is
unique although they share some common principles.
We can learn a lot from everyone. We always tend to think that we can only learn from those who are higher
in status or have more knowledge than us, but that is not really the case. We learn from those who are lower in
status than us as well, because the experience and knowledge of each person is very different.
The best thing about this type of learning, reflecting other people’s strengths and shortcomings onto
ourselves, is that we do not pay for the mistakes that are made. The only cost to us is the time that is needed to
learn about and reflect on these lessons from other people’s lives.英语试题第 3 页 共 9 页
As we all know, some mistakes can be ones which people cannot afford to make, for instance, a broken
friendship or a financial loss. Thus constantly using other people’s strengths and shortcomings to reflect upon
ourselves makes us realize the costs of these mistakes and reduces the possibility that we will make similar
mistakes.
What can we do now to learn from others? By keeping our eyes and ears open. Be observant and able to
realize what strengths and shortcomings other people have. A lot of people in this world like to complain about
their lives. Listen to them and make you own assessment, reflect upon your life and make improvements where
necessary.
21.The underlined part “this type of learning” in the fourth paragraph probably refers to_______.
A. learning from other people’s mistakes
B. learning from others’ experiences
C. finding what strengths and shortcomings other people have
D. reflecting others’ strengths and shortcomings onto ourselves
22.From the fifth paragraph, we learn that _______.
A. sometimes we can afford the costs of a broken friendship
B. our reflection will necessarily reduce our mistakes
C. some reflection will help to improve ourselves
D. reflection will stop us from making any mistakes in life
23.The passage is probably taken from __________.
A. a magazine about life B. a book about travel
C. an advertisement D. a research report
24.What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. How to learn from mistakes.
B. How to use the shortcomings of others to reflect upon ourselves.
C. How to reduce the mistakes in one’s life.
D. How to learn from other people’s strengths and shortcomings.
B
I was born an albino（患白化病的人）in Scranton, Pennsylvania, in 1945. No one in my family had ever
known what an albino was, what it meant to be an albino and what had to be done differently because I was an
albino. My parents, relatives and friends treated me just like they treated everybody else. That was just about the
best thing they could have done. It gave me a leg up on trusting myself, so when trouble came along, I could deal
with them.
Like most albinos, I had terrible eyesight. My grades suffered until eventually I overcame being
self-conscious and realized it was okay to ask to sit in the front of the classroom so I could see the blackboard
better. People stared at me when I held reading material right at the tip of my nose so I could see it well enough to
read. Kids would tease me, asking if I was joining the circus（马戏团）and calling me “Whitey”. Even when I
was eight or nine, movie-theater clerks started asking me to pay adult prices because I “looked older.” The worst
part for me was that because my eyesight was so bad, I couldn’t play sports very well.
I didn’t give up trying, though. I shot hoops every day and played whiffle ball(儿童作为棒球玩的一种塑料
空心球) in summer. And I studied harder. Eventually, I got better at school and loved it. By the time I got to
college I was double majoring, going to summer school and burying myself in every kind of after-class activity I
could find. I tried my best to make “albino” a positive word. I couldn’t see well enough to play sports, but with a
solid education and the drive to do it, I could make a living involved in something I loved. I’ve done it now for 英语试题第 4 页 共 9 页
more than thirty years in print and in video, and now in cyberspace. People make jokes about how I’m the only
“blind editor” they know, but the jokes are well-meant, some of them signs of respect.
I now realize that being born an albino helped me to overcome difficulties, gain confidence, and be proud of
my personal achievement and modest about my professional accomplishments.
25. Which of the following troubled the author as an albino most?
A. He looked much older than his age.
B. He had to read with books really close.
C. He was often laughed at by classmates.
D. He had difficulty in doing well in sports.
26. Which of the following statements about the author is TRUE?
A. He gets involved in a job related to sports.
B. He spent most of his time studying in college.
C. He continued to play sports regularly after college.
D. He is often teased by his colleagues about his illness.
27. What is the message the writer wants to convey in the passage?
A. Sports can make people more optimistic about life.
B. Difficulties provide people with a chance for growth.
C. One should learn to enjoy hard times and look ahead.
D. People’s attitude toward you changes when you improve.
C
Science is finally beginning to embrace animals who were, for a long time, considered second-class citizens.
As Annie Potts of Canterbury University has noted, chickens distinguish among one hundred chicken faces
and recognize familiar individuals even after months of separation. When given problems to solve, they reason:
hens trained to pick colored buttons sometimes choose to give up an immediate food reward for a slightly later
(and better) one. Healthy hens may aid friends, and mourn when those friend die.
Pigs respond meaningful to human symbols. When a research team led by Candace Croney at Penn State
University carried wooden blocks marked with X and O symbols around pigs, only the O carriers offered food to
the animals. The pigs soon ignored the X carriers in favor of the O's. Then the team switched from real-life objects
to T-shirts printed with X or O symbols. Still, the pigs walked only toward the O-shirted people: they had
transferred their knowledge to a two-dimensional format, a not inconsiderable feat of reasoning.
I’ve been guilty of prejudiced expectations, myself. At the start of my career almost four decades ago, I was
firmly convinced that monkeys and apes out-think and out-feel other animals. They're other primates(灵长目动
物), after all, animals from our own mammalian(哺乳动物的) class. Fairly soon, I came to see that along with our
closest living relatives, whales too are masters of cultural learning, and elephants express profound joy and
mourning with their social companions. Long-term studies in the wild on these mammals helped to fuel a
viewpoint shift in our society: the public no longer so easily accepts monkeys made to undergo painful procedure
kin laboratories, elephants forced to perform in circuses, and dolphins kept in small tanks at theme parks.
Over time, though, as I began to broaden out even further and explore the inner lives of fish, chickens, pigs,
goats, and cows, I started to wonder: Will the new science of "food animals" bring an ethical (伦理的) revolution
in terms of who we eat? In other words, will our ethics start to catch up with the development of our science?
Animal activists are already there, of course, committed to not eating these animals. But what about the rest of
us? Can paying attention to the thinking and feeling of these animals lead us to make changes in who we eat?
28. According to Annie Potts, hens have the ability of________.英语试题第 5 页 共 9 页
A. interaction B. creation C. analysis D. abstraction
29. Paragraph 4 is mainly about________.
A. the similarities between mammals and humans
B. the necessity of long-term studies on mammals
C. a change in people's attitudes towards animals
D. a discovery of how animals express themselves
30. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. A Revolution in Food Animals B. The Lifestyles of Food Animals
C. Science Reports on Food Animals D. The Inner Lives of Food Animals

*The sea has always interested man. From it he can get food, minerals and treasure. 31 But he
couldn’t go far beneath its surface.
32 However, he isn’t a fish. Because he must breathe air, he can’t stay under the water’s surface for
any length of time. To explore deep water, man faces even more dangers and problems.
A diver who wants to stay under water for more than a few minutes must breathe air or a special mixture of
gases. 33 He can carry a tank of air on his back and breathe through a hose(软管) and a mouthpiece. Water
weighs 800 times as much as air. Tons of water pushes against a diver deep in the sea. 34
When a diver is under great pressure, his blood takes in some of the gases he breathes. As he rises to the
surface, the water pressure becomes less. If the diver rises too quickly, the gases in his blood form bubbles. The
diver is then suffering from the bends（潜涵病）. The bends can cause a diver to double up in pain. 35
A. His body is under great pressure.
B. Scientists are trying to find more about the sea.
C. For thousands years, he could sail on it.
D. They can even kill him．
E. He can wear a diving suit and have air pumped to him from above.
F. The water pressure can cause a diver to breathe with difficulty.
G. Man wants to explore deep into the sea.

第二节 概要写作（满分 25 分）
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。
*Are you stressed at work? A recent study found that one third of workers describe their jobs as highly
stressful; and 75% believe that work is more stressful now than it was 20 years ago. Work-related stress can lead
to headaches, depression, memory loss, a lack of concentration, stomach problems and an inability to sleep. But
what causes it? Lots of things, apparently. For example, someone who finds their job too difficult may become
stressed, especially if they don't get any help. Similarly, someone who works too hard for too many hours can
become stressed. Finding a job boring can also cause stress, as can working in an unfriendly environment do. But
everyone is different. So, while one person may find working 60 hours a week very stressful, another may find it
challenging and enjoyable.
So, what can managers do to prevent stress? Once again, lots of things. They can make sure that the demands 英语试题第 8 页 共 9 页
of the job and the skills of the workers are matched, that the worker is provided with the resources he or she needs
to do the job, that problems are discussed, that employees are given timetables that allow them to organize their
life outside work, and that everyone is given clearly-defined roles and responsibilities. Also, that employees are
offered rewards for good work, and that there are opportunities for career development.
More importantly, what can you do to reduce stress? Lots, too! For a start, you can talk about it. If you've got
a problem, find someone to discuss it with. Get moving---ensure you’re getting lots of exercise. Make a sensible
food choice and eat food that's good for you. Get lots of sleep. When you lack sleep, your ability to handle stress
is compromised. Ensure that jobs are evaluated carefully before agreeing to take them on. Develop the capacity to
meet challenges with humor. Laughter is a great stress buster. Give yourself more time! If you are always running
late, set your clocks fast so you get things done in time. You have to do it all yourself.
