第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分 50 分）
第一节（共 15 个小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 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
Thirteen, for me, was a challenging year. My parents divorced and I moved to a new
town with my father, far from my old family and friends. I was terribly lonely and would
cry myself to sleep each night. To ease my sadness, my father purchased an old horse for
me at a local market. I named him Cowboy.
Cowboy was undoubtedly the ugliest horse in the world. But I didn’t care. I loved
him beyond all reason.
I joined a riding club and suffered rude comments and mean snickers about
Cowboy’s looks. I never let on about how I felt, but deep inside, my heart was breaking.
The other members rode beautiful, registered horses.
When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse is judged on appearance, we
were quickly shown the gate. No amount of preparation and love would turn Cowboy into
a beauty. My only chance to compete would be in the speed events. I chose the jumping
race.
One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the
blue ribbons. Needless to say, she didn’t feel threatened when I competed against her at
the next show. She didn’t need to. I came in next to last.The stinging memory of Becky’s smirks(得意的笑) made me determined to beat her.
For the whole next month I woke up early every day and rode Cowboy five miles to the
arena. We practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk
Cowboy home totally exhausted.
All of our hard work didn’t make me feel confident by the time the show came. I sat
at the gate and sweated it out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the
course and finish in first place.
My turn finally came. I put on my hat, rubbed Cowboy’s neck and entered the arena.
At the signal, we dashed toward the first fence, jumped it without trouble and raced on to
the next one. Cowboy then flew over the second, third and fourth fences like a bird and I
turned him toward the finish line.
As we crossed the line the crowd was shocked into silence. Cowboy and I had beaten
Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds!
I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen, I realized that no matter
what the odds, I’d always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work
for it.
21. Why was the writer unconfident of victory?
A. He was an inexperienced rider.
B. He was unpopular with the crowd.
C. He had not practised much yet.
D. He thought his horse wasn’t as good as the others.
22. What did the writer learn from his experience?
A. Life can sometimes be unfair for us.
B. Anything is possible if one tries hard enough.
C. A positive attitude will bring us success.
D. One should not judge others by appearance.
23. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Run to Remember B. A Horse’s Tale
C. Neck and Neck Race D. A Difficult Age
BI don’t realize that I’ve been at college for nearly one and half year until now. Looking
back into the last year, what shall I say? It consisted of both happiness and sadness. Life
always goes like this, up and down, as is so exciting. Now when I recall the past, no
matter how I felt at that time, they are all treasures for me.
That was the moon festival last year, which was also the first time we went out after we
entered the college. It was said that the sea in Dalian was well-known and was also a
wonderful place to watch the moon. After getting all the food and drinking ready, we four
girls set off for the seaside. There were many people and we picked up a less crowded
beach. At first, we enjoyed ourselves by drinking and eating. When the moon turned
brighter, we played with the seawater. As a result, we were all drenched with water.
Bathing in the moonlight, we ran and laughed. We seemed to land on another world,
where was full of fresh air, laughter and love. The laughter is still echoing on my mind so
far.
Life doesn’t stay the same, occasionally having a particular taste. That is sadness. What
impressed me deeply is a failure in a singing competition. It was the first time I had given
a performance on such a large stage in front of so many people. I was so nervous that the
whole song was performed out of tune. As you could imagine, I was greeted with boos
from the audience. I still remembered how dismal I felt that moment and I sat alone
crying at the seaside. After that, I talked to mother about it. She told me that it was not a
failure; at least, I was brave enough to show myself publicly.
Everything has passed. I’ve stored them at the bottom of my heart. I am in the second
grade already. Yet much needs me to challenge. On the way, there‘s both happiness and
distress. However, I will go ahead just all the same.
24. The underlined word “drenched” in the second paragraph has a similar meaning with
_______.
A. dried B. wet
C. frozen D. washed away
25. Life, according to the author, is .
A. full of happiness B. filled with sadness
C. made up of laughter and tears D. not worth living26. How did the audience find the author’s singing?
A. It was wonderful B. It was disappointing
C. The passage doesn’t say D. It was perfect
27. Which of the following shows the author’s attitude towards future?
A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
B. Do wrong once and you’ll never hear the end of it.
C. Where there is a will, there is a way.
D. Time and tide wait for no man.
C
From ancient stories to modern researches, the label（标签）attached to being
left-handed is undeniable. Left-handed people, or "lefties" as they are often called, are
generally believed to be good at art — Leonardo da Vinci, Picasso and Michelangelo
are all left-handed .
Our brain is divided into two parts: the left hemisphere（大脑半球）and the right
hemisphere The left hemisphere, linked to logic and analysis, is responsible for the right
side of the body. The right hemisphere, linked to creativity and imagination, controls
the left side of the body. So, people tend to believe lefties are controlled by the right
side of the brain, and are more creative than right-handers. Some also think that lefties
may not be as good as right-handers in mathematics and problem-solving skills.
However; a recent study carried out by scientists from the University of Liverpool
in the UK and the University of Milan in Italy proved this theory wrong. The study
involved（涉及）more than 2,300 students in Italy aged between 6 and 17 years old.
They were asked to complete several mathematical tasks of different levels. It turned
out the left-handers outperformed the others when the tasks involved difficult
problem-solving. This pattern was particularly clear in male adolescents. However;
when it came to simple arithmetic, there was no difference between left-handers and
right-handers.
It was also discovered that those who are “severely” right-handed performed less well
in all the experiments compared to "medium” right-handers and left-handers.
"Taken together, these findings show that handedness does influence abilities to some degree," the study's authors wrote. However, "handedness is just an indirect expression
of brain function," wrote psychology professor Giovanni Sala from the University of
Liverpool in the UK, the lead author of the study. Sala also noted that only one third of
people with a highly-developed right side of the brain are left-handed. It means that
there are lots of right-handed people with a similar brain function as left-handers.
28. The author begins the text by _______.
A. telling some ancient stories
B. giving examples of artworks
C. introducing a modern research
D. presenting conventional wisdom
29. What is the main focus of paragraph 2?
A. Skills of solving problems.
B. Ways of becoming creative.
C. People's opinions of left-handers.
D. The functions of two hemispheres.
30. What can we learn from the recent study led by Giovanni Sala?
A .Handedness doesn't have any association with brain function.
B. People with a highly-developed right hemisphere are most likely lefties.
C. The "severely" right-handed are far better at simple arithmetic than lefties.
D. Right-handers didn't perform as well as lefties when handling tough problems.
31.The text is most probably taken from________.
A. a medical report B. a science magazine
C. a biology textbook D. an education essay
D
Many people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the opposite.
Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do
not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not
listen well.
Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else. An essential
part of listening well is the rule known as ‘bracketing’. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires, to experience
as far as possible someone else’s world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes.
Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary
acceptance of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite
willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication
is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be
accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.
Most of the time we lack this energy. Even though we may feel in our business
dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is
listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen,
how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as
possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far more
interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we don’t
want to hear.
It wasn’t until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge
that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的). In about a quarter
of the patients I saw, surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of
psychotherapy(心理疗法), before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or
explained. There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I
believe, was the patient’s sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the
first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.
32. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?
A. How to listen well. B. What to listen to.
C. Benefits of listening. D. Problems in listening.
33. According to the author, in communication people tend to ________.
A. listen actively B. listen purposefully
C. set aside their prejudices D. open up their inner mind
34. According to the author, the patients improved mainly because _______.
A. they were taken good care of. B. they knew they were truly listened to.
C. they had partners to talk to. D. they knew the roots of problems.35. What type of writing the article likely to be?
A. Science fiction B. A news report.
C. A medical report. D. Popular science

Travelling with friends can be an absolutely amazing experience where you could
make lifelong memories or it could end up ruining your friendship. 36 Here are
some rules you should follow to make sure your next trip with friends goes as smoothly
as possible.
37 Sure, you and your friends probably have some similar interests, but that’s
not always the case. In an effort to keep everyone happy, go over travel plans and
expectations ahead of time. Have each person categorize activities or sights into
“must-see” “want to see” and “would go if we have time”. Plan accordingly and make
sure everyone can see some of their top attractions.
Communicate and respect each other. Everyone has personal preferences when
travelling — from getting the bed closest to the bathroom or sitting in the airplane’s
window seat. But sometimes things don’t go as you like. In this case, share your
requirements directly with your travel companions. 38 Have a conversation when
problems arise, for communication is the key.
Don’t disappear. When travelling with a group — or even just one other person —
you may want some alone time. That’s completely fine, but make sure your friends
know where you are and have a way of contacting you. 1 39
Get off your phone. Of course, your friends will understand if you need to take a
call from a family member, or in the event of a work emergency, but other than that, try
to stay off your phone. 40 After all, the appeal of this type of trip is to spend time
with friends. Just enjoy it!
A. Give each other some space.
B. Include at least one activity for everyone.
C. And remember that consideration and respect go a long way.D. At the same time, listen to their concerns and be respectful of them.
E. Don’t respond to non-urgent work contact or send messages frequently.
F. It’s especially true of travelling in foreign countries or unfamiliar places.
G. So it’s important to make sure you and your friend(s) are on the same page.

最佳选项。
Have you seen people who take pictures of food for more than 10 minutes before
eating? My friend Stella is such an example. Every time we went to a restaurant, she
would not take a bite until all the dishes we 41 were on the table. Then she
would spend five minutes in 42 the dishes in a seemingly random but in fact
43 order. Then the most important part: taking pictures. After that, she would choose
one of the 44 and click in the filter（滤镜）app. The food eventually looked 10 times
more delicious than it really was, but we had no 45 to really enjoy it—it all went
cold. Actually Stella’s real life is much less elegant. For example, she hates to wash the
dishes, so she leaves them in the sink for days.
Many people care too much about others’ opinions and try too hard to 46
others. They find it hard to be 47 and to accept themselves, and thus they are afraid
to show their 48 life on social media. What they are trying to prove is 49
what they lack in reality. But this will not bring any 50 to reality, as they still
51 the same old pattern of life.
If they really want an elegant life, they should put more 52 into achieving it
53 fabricating（伪造）it. Being more confident, 54 themselves and trying their
best to be better are much more meaningful than 55 their life on social media.
41. A. ordered B. served C. offered D. prepared
42. A. cooking B. washing C. setting D. collecting
43. A. messy B. arranged C. casual D. missed
44. A. dishes B. restaurants C. tables D. pictures
45. A. chance B. choice C. excuse D. reason46. A. comfort B. please C. inspire D. discourage
47. A. independent B. generous C. responsible D. confident
48. A. real B. secret C. peaceful D. healthy
49. A. rarely B. hardly C. exactly D. nearly
50. A. difficulty B. change C. guidance D. harm
51. A. question B. dislike C. doubt D. follow
52. A. effort B. ambitions C. feelings D. money
53. A. other than B. more than C. rather than D. less than
54. A. identifying B. accepting C. persuading D. amusing
55. A. simplifying B. ruining C. beautifying D. worsening

The giant panda, also 56 (know) as panda bear or simply panda, is a bear
native 57 south central China. In the past many years, the giant panda 58
(drive) out of the lowland areas where it once lived as a result of farming, deforestation
and other 59 (develop). Wild population estimates vary：one estimate shows that there
are about 1,590 individuals 60 (1ive) in the wild, while a 2006 study estimated that
this figure could be as high as 2,000 to 3,000. Some reports also show that 61
number of giant pandas in the wild is on the rise.
The West first learned of the giant panda on March 11, 1869, 62 the French
missionary(传教士) Armand David received a panda skin from a hunter. In 1936, Ruth
Harkness became the first Westerner to bring a live giant panda named Su Lin to the
Brookfield Zoo in Chicago. To protect the pandas, in 2012, Earthwatch Institute, a
global nonprofit that teams volunteers with scientists to conduct important 63
(science) research, launched a program called “On the Trail of Giant Panda”. This
program, based in the Wolong National Nature Reserve, allows 64 (volunteer) to
work up close with pandas cared for in captivity (圈养), and help them 65 (gradual)
adapt to life in the wild.第四部分 写作（共两节，满分 45 分）

Ali and his younger sister, Zahra, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood.
Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had
only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several
months, the landlord was breathing down their necks(盯着他们).
One day, Ali took Zahra's shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on
the way home. It wasn't until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was
afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep
it secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali's running shoes. Zahra's school
hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush
back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the
afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by
the school.
Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city. When he
learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran
home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes. The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began
to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought
only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his
sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined
to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided（碰撞）
with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground.

Ali looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead. Refusing to give up at this point,he jumped
to his feet and run as fast as he could. He dashed across the finishing line and won the forth prize.
Thinking he would let her sister down, Ali couldn’t help sobbing. Just then he suddenly heard the
announcement from the broadcast that he won the third prize as the runner who collided with Ali
was disqualified or breaking the rule. Holding the shoes close to his chest during the award
ceremony, Ali felt overjoyed and relieved as he eventually won the shoes for his sister.
Filled with pleasure, Ali walked home quickly. He could not wait to see his sister and share the
good news. On his arrival, Ali found Zahra was waiting outside. Nervous and anxious, Zahra
wondered whether her brother had brought her what she was expecting. “Zahra, see what I have got
for you.” Ali said excitedly, taking the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands. The moment Zahra saw the shoes, her face lit up. So excited was she that she threw herself at Ali. “Thank you!
Ali.” Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and the sister hugged tightly together.
