第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分 50 分)
第一节(共 15 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、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Exercising regularly not only helps you keep slim, but also improves your overall health and well-being.
Different exercises produce different results, as they focus on alternate parts of the body.There are four broad
exercise categories: endurance, strength, flexibility, and balance. Many people often only focus on one exercise
type, but including all four in your workout will produce better results and reduce your risk of injury.
Endurance
Endurance exercises increase your breathing and heart rate. By doing endurance exercises, you are working to
keep your heart, lungs, and blood-flow system healthy while improving your total fitness.Over time these activities
will make everyday activities seem easier.
Strength
If you want to build up your muscles, then strength exercises, which are also known as "resistance training",
are right for you. Even the slightest increase in strength can make a huge difference in your ability to carry out
daily tasks. Developing strong muscles also reduces your risk of weak bones.
Flexibility
Flexibility exercises help stretch your body's muscles. This allows for more freedom of movement for other
exercises and can also improve your range of motion, posture,ability to breathe deeply, and blood flow. Also, it
reduces the muscle tension caused by stress.
Balance
Balance exercises help prevent falls and are especially important to older adults, helping them stay
independent. Most good balance exercises are ones that keep you constantly moving with your feet on the ground.
Heel-to-toe walking and standing on one foot are simple ways to improve balance.
1. How can a person benefit most from their exercise routine?
A. By combining different exercise types together.
B. By having sufficient rest between their workouts
C. By concentrating on one training aspect at a time.
D. By increasing the frequency of their training gradually.
2. Which exercise types are most useful to improve a person's breathing function?
A. Strength and Balance. B. Flexibility and Balance.
C. Endurance and Strength. D. Endurance and Flexibility.
3. Which part of the body plays the most important role in balance-related exercises?
A. Arms. B. Legs. C. Waist. D. Neck.
【答案】1. A 2. D 3. B

The history of microbiology begins with a Dutch cloth maker named Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, a man of no
formal scientific education. In the late 1600s, Leeuwenhoek, inspired by the magnifying lenses he used to examine
cloth, built some of the first microscopes. He developed a technique to improve the quality of tiny, rounded lenses,
some of which could magnify an object up to 270 times. After removing some plaque from between his teeth and
examining it under a lens, Leeuwenhoek found tiny twisting creatures, which he called “animalcules”.
His observations, which he reported to the Royal Society of London, are among the first descriptions of
microbes, Leeuwenhoek discovered an entire universe invisible to the human eye. He found different microbes in
samples of pond water, rain water, and human blood. He gave the first description of red blood cells, observed plant
tissue, examined muscle, and investigated the life cycle of insects.
Nearly two hundred years later, Leeuwenhoek's discovery of microbes helped French chemist and biologist
Louis Pasteur to develop his “theory of disease”. This concept suggested that disease originates from tiny
organisms attacking and weakening the body. Pasteur’s theory later helped doctors to fight infectious diseases
including anthrax, diphtheria, polio, smallpox, tetanus, and typhoid. All these breakthroughs were the result of
Leeuwenhoek's original work. Leeuwenhoek did not foresee this legacy.
In a 1716 letter, he described his contribution to science this way: “My work, which I’ve done for a long time,
was not pursued in order to gain the praise I now enjoy, but chiefly from a strong desire for knowledge, which I
notice resides in me more than in most other men. And therefore, whenever I found out anything remarkable, I have
thought it my duty to put down my discovery on paper, so that the scientific community might be informed
thereof.”
4. Which of the following best describes Leeuwenhoek?
A. A trained researcher with an interest in microbiology.
B. A curious amateur who made pioneer studies of microbes.
C. A talented scientist interested in finding a cure for disease.
D. A bored cloth maker who accidentally made a major discovery.
5. The underlined phrase “this legacy” in paragraph 3 refers to_______.
A. the discovery of microbes. B. Pasteur's theory of disease.
C. Leeuwenhoek's contribution. D. the origin of the tiny organism.
6. What does the quote from Leeuwenhoek's letter suggest?
A. He admitted that many of his discoveries happened by chance.
B. He considered his work to be central to later medical breakthroughs.
C. He was greatly concerned with improving people’s living conditions.
D. He believed the sharing of knowledge was a key to scientific progress
7. What is the correct order for the following events?
a. Magnifying lenses were built.
b. The “theory of disease” was put forward.
c. Microbes were discovered in samples of waters.
d. Leeuwenhoek's first microscopes were successfully developed.
e. Leeuwenhoek explained his thoughts upon his own contribution.
A. a-d-c-e-b. B. d-a-c-e-b. C. a-d-c-b-e. D. d-a-e-b-c.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A

在观察微生物方面取得的贡献和他本人对自己贡献的看法。
【4 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The history of microbiology begins with a Dutch cloth maker named Antoni van
Leeuwenhoek, a man of no formal scientific education. In the late 1600s, Leeuwenhoek, inspired by the magnifying
lenses he used to examine cloth, built some of the first microscopes. (微生物学的历史始于一位名叫 Antoni van
Leeuwenhoek 的荷兰制布师,他没有受过正规的科学教育。17 世纪晚期,Leeuwenhoek 受他用来检查布料
的放大镜的启发,制造了第一批显微镜)”以及“After removing some plaque from between his teeth and
examining it under a lens, Leeuwenhoek found tiny twisting creatures, which he called “animalcules”.(列文虎克从
牙齿间取出一些菌斑,并用透镜检查后,他发现了微小的扭曲生物,他称之为“微生物”)”可知,
Leeuwenhoek 是一个好奇的业余爱好者,他对微生物进行了开创性的研究。故选 B。
【5 题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“Nearly two hundred years later, Leeuwenhoek's discovery of microbes helped
French chemist and biologist Louis Pasteur to develop his “theory of disease”. This concept suggested that disease
originates from tiny organisms attacking and weakening the body. Pasteur’s theory later helped doctors to fight
infectious diseases including anthrax, diphtheria, polio, smallpox, tetanus, and typhoid. All these breakthroughs
were the result of Leeuwenhoek's original work. (近两百年后,Leeuwenhoek 对微生物的发现帮助法国化学家和
生物学家 Louis Pasteur 提出了他的“疾病理论”。这一概念认为,疾病起源于微小的生物体攻击和削弱身
体。巴斯德的理论后来帮助医生对抗了包括炭疽、白喉、小儿麻痹症、天花、破伤风和伤寒在内的传染病。
所有这些突破都是 Leeuwenhoek 的原创性工作的结果)”以及下一段中“In a 1716 letter, he described his
contribution to science this way(在 1716 年的一封信中,他这样描述自己对科学的贡献)”可知,Leeuwenhoek
的发现对后来的疾病理论取得了重要的突破,而他本人并没有预见到他会有这些贡献。即画线词指的是
“Leeuwenhoek 的贡献”。故选 C。
【6 题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“And therefore, whenever I found out anything remarkable, I have thought it my
duty to put down my discovery on paper, so that the scientific community might be informed thereof.(因此,每当我
发现任何值得注意的事情时,我都认为我有责任把我的发现写在纸上,以便让科学界知道)”可推知,引用
的 Leeuwenhoek 信中的话表明他相信分享知识是科学进步的关键。故选 D。

论”排第五。可知,事件的正确顺序是 a-d-c-e-b。故选 A。
C
Around 200 B. C, Aristophanes, an ancient Greek librarian, developed a system of marks to break up text to
make it easier to read. Before this, words were often written in one long sentence without spaces between the words.
Today in many languages—including English-there is a set of rules on how to use full stops, commas and other text
marks. However, some believe this is changing. Dr Robert Frost, who studies language, says people no longer use
full stops and other punctuation symbols because they feel their messages are clear enough without them. So, is
punctuation helpful or just troublesome?
Yes—punctuation is important
Punctuation is needed in order to make the meaning of written words clear. If a parent messaged to say, “It's
time to eat, children,” this is different from “It's time to eat children”. The second sentence would probably make
you want to run in the opposite direction because it sounds as though children were on the menu. The author
Jonathan Pierce argues that punctuation can be used to add drama, to break up the sequence of words and change
the rhythm of a sentence. “It allows writers to make sentences more interesting so the readers do not get bored,”
Pierce claims. “Otherwise, the words run into each other and lose their impact.” Besides, learning the different
ways punctuation marks can be used is fun. It can add a lot to the style of writing and make it clearer.
No—we don't need it
Punctuation. Even, if a sentence is badly punctuated, like this one: It can still be, understood. This short piece
of text shows that it is the words that are the important part of the sentence, not the symbols between them.
Oxford-based linguist Kelly Jones says, “It is the order in which the words appear that conveys the meaning, not
the punctuation marks. If there is any doubt in the meaning of the sentence, people are clever enough to work out
what the person is really trying to say. For instance, when people speak, they do not use punctuation and yet we can
still understand each other.” Also, punctuation can be confusing—there are lots of complex rules to observe, and if
it is used incorrectly it can cause more problems than if there were none, punctuation simply isn't needed.
8. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To discuss alternative viewpoints. B. To support one argument over another.
C. To evaluate the strength of competing ideas. D. To outline historical development of language.
9. Who believes punctuation is necessary?
A. Robert Frost and Kelly Jones. B. Aristophanes and Robert Frost.
C. Jonathan Pierce and Kelly Jones. D. Aristophanes and Jonathan Pierce.
10. In paragraph 3, the underlined part is used as________.
A. a definition. B. a fact. C. an example. D. an error.
11. Which of the following can be a strong argument against Kelly Jones's opinion?
A. Punctuation adds to the effect and richness of a language.
B. Without punctuation, people would be breathless when speaking.
C. Pauses and tones in speech serve similar functions to punctuation.
D. The choice and order of words are important to conveying meaning.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了标点符号的发明历史以及从支持和反对两个方面论述了人们对
于需不需要使用标点符号的看法。
【8 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“So, is punctuation helpful or just troublesome? (那么,标点符号是有用的还是麻
烦的呢?)”结合文章从支持和反对两个方面论述了人们对于需不需要使用标点符号的看法,可推知,这篇
文章的目的是讨论不同的观点。故选 A。
【9 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Around 200 B. C, Aristophanes, an ancient Greek librarian, developed a system of
marks to break up text to make it easier to read. (大约在公元前 200 年,古希腊图书管理员 Aristophanes 发明了
一种标记系统,将文本分解,使其更易于阅读)”以及第二段中“The author Jonathan Pierce argues that
punctuation can be used to add drama, to break up the sequence of words and change the rhythm of a sentence. “It
allows writers to make sentences more interesting so the readers do not get bored,” Pierce claims. “Otherwise, the
words run into each other and lose their impact.”(作者 Jonathan Pierce 认为,标点可以用来增加戏剧效果,打破
词语的顺序,改变句子的节奏。Pierce 称:“这能让作者把句子写得更有趣,这样读者就不会感到无聊。“否
则,这些词互相碰撞就会失去它们的影响力。”)”可知,Aristophanes 和 Jonathan Pierce 认为标点是必要的。
故选 D。
【10 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Punctuation. Even if a sentence is badly punctuated, like this one: It can still be,
understood. This short piece of text shows that it is the words that are the important part of the sentence, not the
symbols between them. (标点符号。即使一个句子标点符号用得不好,就像下面这句话:它仍然可以,被理
解。这段简短的文字表明,单词才是句子的重要组成部分,而不是它们之间的符号)”可推知,在第三段中,
下划线部分是一个例子。故选 C。
【11 题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Oxford-based linguist Kelly Jones says, “It is the order in which the words appear
that conveys the meaning, not the punctuation marks. If there is any doubt in the meaning of the sentence, people
are clever enough to work out what the person is really trying to say. For instance, when people speak, they do not
use punctuation and yet we can still understand each other.”(牛津大学的语言学家 Kelly Jones 说:“单词出现的
顺序,而不是标点符号,就能传达意思。如果对这句话的意思有任何疑问,人们能聪明得理解这个人真正
想说什么。例如,当人们说话时,他们不使用标点符号,但我们仍然可以理解对方。”)”可推知,Kelly Jones
认为标点符号没有必要,因为人们说话不使用标点符合也可以传达意思,结合选项可知 C 选项“说话中的
停顿和声调与标点的作用相似”的观点可以有力地反驳 Kelly Jones 的观点。故选 C。
D
To many people, honey bees symbolize wealth, sustainability and environmentalism. But as a honey bee
researcher, I have to tell you that only the first item on that list is defensible. Although they are important for
agriculture, honey bees, which are usually imported from outside the local area, also disturb natural ecosystems by
competing with native bees.
For several years the media has told us that bee populations are under threat. In response to this media
campaign to"save the bees", raising honey bees has become a popular hobby. But as a species, honey bees are least
in need of saving. Much media attention is given to honey bees at the expense of native bees, and this has led many
citizens—myself once included—to mistakenly believe they are doing a good thing for the environment by raising
honey bees. Unfortunately, theyare probably doing more harm than good.
“Beekeeping is for people; it's not a conservation practice, "says Shelly Smith, an environmental science
professor. People mistakenly think keeping honey bees also helps the native bees, which are at risk of extinction.
That's wrong.”
Smith and her research team recently surveyed one thousand local people in Canada and found that they had a
surprisingly poor understanding of bee types and their roles in promoting flower growth. Most people’s attention is
on saving honey bees when, from a conservationist's point of view, native bees are the ones in more need of
support.
“To make matters worse, beekeeping companies and various non-science-based projects have financially
benefited from the decline of native bee populations, "Smith explains. "These companies pretend they are interested
in saving bees but their actions are actually damaging the native bee populations.”
The introduction of honey bees increases competition with native bee populations for food,putting even more
pressure on the wild species that are already in decline. Honey bees are extremely efficient food gatherers and take
over almost all local flower resources, thus leading to damaging competition—that is, where one species uses up a
resource, not leaving enough to go around.
12. Which statement does the writer argue for?
A. Honey bees endanger native bees.
B. Honey bees are a symbol of wealth.
C. Honey bees are important for agriculture.
D. Honey bees can defend natural ecosystems.
13. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A. Beekeeping is a still-popular traditional hobby.
B. The media is responsible for misleading the public.
C. Citizens’ attempts to protect the environment are effective.
D. The media campaign has failed to promote honey bee businesses.
14. What surprised Shelly Smith's team?
A. Beekeeping companies' making great profits.
B. The quick expansion of bee-friendly habitats.
C. The public's ignorance of bee varieties and roles.
D. Insufficient attention given to saving honey bees.
15. How does the writer develop the last paragraph?
A. By listing examples. B. By making comparisons.
C. By analyzing survey data. D. By explaining cause and effect.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章介绍了如今养蜂在美国人中非常流行,但研究表明,对蜜蜂的错误热情很可
能对野生蜜蜂造成损害。
【12 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“But as a species, honey bees are least in need of saving. Much media attention is
given to honey bees at the expense of native bees, and this has led many citizens—myself once included—to
mistakenly believe they are doing a good thing for the environment by raising honey bees. Unfortunately, they are
probably doing more harm than good.( 但是作为一个物种,蜜蜂是最不需要拯救的。媒体的关注不成比例地
覆盖了它们,而忽略了本地传粉者,而且含糊不清的信息让许多市民(包括我自己在内)相信,戴上养蜂人的
面纱是在为环境做好事。不幸的是,它们可能弊大于利。)”以及第三段的“People mistakenly think keeping
honey bees also helps the native bees, which are at risk of extinction. That's wrong.( 人们错误地认为饲养蜜蜂或
帮助蜜蜂是在某种程度上帮助本土蜜蜂,因为它们面临灭绝的危险。那是错误的)”可推断,作者认为蜜蜂不
需要拯救,这样反而忽略了本土蜜蜂,并不会帮助本土蜜蜂,因此推断养蜂会危及本地蜜蜂。故选 A。
【13 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Much media attention is given to honey bees at the expense of native bees, and this has
led many citizens—myself once included—to mistakenly believe they are doing a good thing for the environment
by raising honey bees. Unfortunately, theyare probably doing more harm than good.( 媒体的关注不成比例地覆
盖了它们,而忽略了本地传粉者,而且含糊不清的信息让许多市民(包括我自己在内)相信,戴上养蜂人的面
纱是在为环境做好事。不幸的是,它们可能弊大于利。)”可推断,媒体应该为误导公众负责任。故选 B。
【14 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“Smith and her research team recently surveyed one thousand local people in Canada
and found that they had a surprisingly poor understanding of bee types and their roles in promoting flower
growth.(史密斯和她的研究团队最近调查了 1000 名加拿大当地人,发现他们对蜜蜂类型和它们在促进花朵
生长中的作用的了解非常少)”可知,史密斯团队对公众对蜜蜂的种类和作用的无知感到吃惊。故选 C。
【15 题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容“The introduction of honey bees increases competition with native bee
populations for food, putting even more pressure on the wild species that are already in decline. Honey bees are
extremely efficient food gatherers and take over almost all local flower resources, thus leading to damaging
competition—that is, where one species uses up a resource, not leaving enough to go around.( 蜜蜂的引入加剧了
与本土蜜蜂争夺食物的竞争,给已经在减少的野生物种带来了更大的压力。蜜蜂是非常高效的食物采集者,
它们几乎占据了当地所有的花资源,从而导致了破坏性的竞争,也就是说,一个物种用光了一种资源,没
有留下足够的资源供其他物种使用。)”可推断,作者通过分析因果关系解释了引进的蜜蜂与本土蜜蜂之间的
竞争。故选 D。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It took place in a teacher’s family. One day, Ben was playing basketball in the living room after school, when
he accidentally threw the ball at a vase sitting on the shelf. The vase dropped to the floor and a large piece broke off.
What made Ben more upset was that the vase was not a common decoration but an antique, which was handed
down through generations from the 18th century. It was also his mother's favourite possession. To cover his terrible
action, the terrified boy glued the pieces together hastily and put the vase back to its place.
As the mother herself dusted the vase every day, she naturally noticed the cracks(裂纹) that evening. To her
surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he broke the vase. Fearing
punishment, the suddenly inspired boy said that a neighbour’s cat jumped in from the window and he couldn’t drive
it away no matter how hard he tried. It raced around the living room and finally knocked the vase off its shelf. His
mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each
morning and opened after she returned. However, in the face of her son’s nervous eyes and the suspicious looks of
the other family members. Ben’s mother remained calm. She realized she shouldn’t just simply blame and punish
her son for lying. She came up with another idea.
Before going to bed, the boy found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the study at once.
The boy thought he would now be punished but, as he had already lied, he was determined to deny everything to
the end, no matter how angry his mum became.
In the study, calmly bathed in the light, his mothers face showed no sign of anger. On seeing her son push
open the door and cautiously enter, she took a chocolate box out of a drawer and gave him one.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150 左右

__________________________________________________________________
【答案】The mother said,“This chocolate is a reward for your imagination -- a window-opening cat!” Hearing her
sincere appreciation, Ben flushed, lowered his head and muttered a thank-you. Surprisingly, the mother took out
another chocolate and pressed it into his hand.“This one is for the delicate repair work you did to the broken
vase.”She also added that she was moved by how much the boy cherished the family possessions. At these hearty
remarks, Ben felt a flow of shame through his veins, and had to duck his head even lower. The mother then calmly
encouraged Ben to reward himself more chocolate for any other merits he had displayed in this event. He did as
was told to, confessing that he was calm when facing the accident.
Now with some chocolate in hand, the boy’s bad attitude disappeared.His palm and forehead sweating, nervousness
welled up inside him. After what seemed a long time, he looked up at his mother, admitted that it was not the cat
but he that had broken the vase accidentally and asked for punishment.“I’m sorry I lied to you, mum. Please take
back the chocolate.” Feeling so ashamed, Ben couldn’t hold back his tears. He opened his palm wide, ready to
return the chocolate. To his surprise, however, his mother placed the whole bag of chocolate in his hand, smiling.
“Honesty deserves the best reward, my dear.”
