第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)
第一节(共10个小题;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。
I don't remember exactly what grade I was in when it happened. All 1 remember is that suddenly Math was no longer fun. Since the first grade I had always loved Math. I was good at adding and got 100 percent on almost every paper I did. All at once, though, we were doing
something called multiplication(乘法)and I was not good at it. I had great difficulty in Math until the teacher gave us a card. On it were written the multiplication tables. I stared at them and smiled. Here were all the answers I needed. I read them over and over until they became stuck in my head. On our next test I did great again. I continued to love Math.
I began to notice how multiplication worked magic. I saw how a little handful of seeds could produce a garden full of food, how having two rabbits could soon give you twenty, how a few caring words could heal(治愈)a hurting heart. And I saw how a single act of loving-kindness could travel from person to person, heart to heart, and soul to soul until it circled the world.
The truth is that we are all multipliers in this life. The only question is what we are going to multiply. Are we going to multiply the feai; anger, and distrust that exist in this world? Or are we going to multiply the love, kindness, and forgiveness? I choose the latter and I hope you will do the same. Be a multiplier then. Help make this world a better place. Spend your days sowing smiles, planting kindness and sharing love. You will be amazed at how much and how rapidly it multiplies. You will be amazed at the harvest you will get in.
15. What helped the author out of the trouble with Math?
A. The multiplication tables. B. The good reference books.
C. The practical adding skill. D. The teacher's explanation.
16. How did the author express amazement at multiplication in paragraph 2?
A. By listing data. B. By describing scenes.
C. By giving examples. D. By comparing opinions.
17. What is the author's main purpose in writing the text?
A. To explain the reasons why we multiply things.
B. To persuade people to multiply positive things.
C. To introduce benefits of becoming a multiplier.
A. To show how we can spend time as multipliers.
B
Rosie the Riveter was a World War II nickname for women who worked in factories and shipyards all across the country. The two women talked about here were not like Rosie. They, and four others, were working on a machine at the University of Pennsylvania, called ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer). It was designed to do difficult calculations related to ballistics(弹道),but the war ended before ENIAC was put into use.
Work on it continued, though. The room-sized computer was completely electronic, so it should have been far faster than the other big war-time calculator, the Mark I, developed by IBM. The Mark I, driven by electricity, had moving parts that slowed it down but its instructions could be stored on a paper tape, which gave it a big advantage. In ENIAC, however, every calculation involved putting cables(电缆)into a board.
To program ENIAC, the women had to first analyze hundreds of equations(公式) involved in a particular calculation. Then, they determined which cables should go where, so the machine would do the right steps in the right order. They understood both mathematics and the machine.
Programming was in its early stage in the 1940s; in fact, the term, “to program95 came from the ENIAC team. Women held many of these early jobs. The six ENIAC programmers had been selected from a group of women with degrees in mathematics who worked on other big war-time calculators. Today, computer jobs are controlled by men. Women hold only a quarter of the tech jobs in the United States, though they account for half the workforce. Only 18 percent of computer science graduates today are women. Often the explanation is that girls don't like math, or don't do well in it, but the experience of these earlier women proves otherwise.
15. What can we learn about ENIAC from the first two paragraphs?
A. It was much more advanced than the Mark I.
B. It could do calculations of ballistics all by itself.
C. It was invented by the University of Pennsylvania.
A. It never served its original purpose during the war.
15. What did the women programmers do when working with ENIAC?
A. They stored instructions on a paper tape.
B. They corrected errors of a particular board.
C. They learned hundreds of equations by heart.
D. They decided where to put cables in calculations.
16. Which of the following will the author probably agree with?
A. Women were not so interested in computer science.
B. Women are good at computer programming like men.
C. Women are always in the minority of the workforce in US.
D・ Women were not as well-accepted as men in programming jobs.

“Carers" are all sorts of people with so many different caring roles. I know this only too well from attending my severely ill mother as a teenager, to having main carer responsibility for my Nanna for her last ten years, to now as a father caring for my disabled son.
But more importantly, I was also cared for. My dad had died when I was four, so after my mum died, it was my amazing Nanna and Grandad who took me in. Because they were my grandparents, I never really thought of them as “carers”,and I don't think they did either. Back then, I probably didn9t even know what 66kinship(亲属关系)carer" meant
It wasn't easy for them. My mother's long illness and early death nearly broke them. I used to think looking after me helped them deal with their heartbreak. But the truth is, they helped me get over my mum's death. Surrounding me with unquestioning love, they were classic kinship carers.
Working as a lawyer, I've helped a surprisingly large number of kinship carers over the years—mostly grandparents, fighting the system for their precious grandchildren. I like to think I co the extra mile, which helped them face the challenges. More than 180,000 children across the UK are being raised by kinship carers today, but the huge challenges facing them are too often forgotten by politicians and policymakers.
What my Nanna and Grandad did—and what kinship carers across the UK are doing today—is amazing. They are giving a loving home to these children, while reducing the stress on the formal care system― ven though it may add difficulties to their own life. We can't thank and support them too much.
15. The author knows very well about what carers are by .
A. giving and getting care B. doing voluntary work
C. becoming a parent D. learning from carers
16. According to the text, what did the author's Nanna and Grandad do?
A. They took care of the author's ill mother.
A. They spoiled the author with too much love.
B. They offered to look after the author's children.
C. They helped the author get through hard times.
15. What does the underlined part “go the extra mile” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Take the wrong way. B. Make a special effort.
C. Save much precious time. D. Do some unnecessary work.
16. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Carers Face Huge Challenges
B. More Kinship Carers Needed
C. Carers Deserve Recognition and Support
D. British Policies Intended for Kinship Carers

During a recent flight, the attendants went around and asked passengers 57 they wanted anything to drink.

passenger demanded 63 drawing an airplane window. It even had a view of the ocean below and a couple of 64 (cloud) in the sky. It might not have been a real window, but it was the best the cabin attendant could do at short notice to deal with the passenger's 65 (reasonable) demand.

One hot summer day, a young couple and their four-year-old daughter, Rosemerrv. were on their way to the mountains for a few weeks' vacation. On the way, they had a car accident and were injured seriously. They were immediately taken to the nearest hospital, where Rosemerry was brought to the children's ward and her parents were taken to the intensive care unit. As can be imagined, Rosemerry was not only in great pain, but she was also very frightened because her parents were not nearby to give her comfort.
Martha, the nurse who attended to Rosemerry, was a single, older woman. She understood Rosemerry^ fear and insecurity and became very devoted to her. When Martha finished her job, instead of going home, she would volunteer to stay with Rosemerry at night. Of course. Rosemerry grew very fond of her and depended on her for her every need.
After many months in hospital, the family finally recovered and were ready to go home. Before they left the hospital, the parents thanked Martha for her devoted and loving care and invited her to visit them. Rosemerry would not let go of Martha, and insisted that she come to live with them. Martha also did not want to be parted from her little Rosemerry, but her life was in the children's ward of the hospital and she couldn't think of leaving. There was a tearftil parting as Rosemerry and the loving nurse said good-bye to each other. For a few months the family kept up a close relationship with Martha―through phone calls only, since they lived quite a distance from her. When they moved abroad, however; they lost contact with each other.
Over thirty years passed. One winter, Martha, who was now in her seventies, became seriously ill and stayed in a hospital near her home. There was a certain nurse on duty who noticed that Martha had very few visitors. She tried her best to give the elderly lady special care, and she saw that she was a sensitive clever person.
