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,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和 D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将
该项涂黑
A
Anyone who has visited Europe will have noticed its coffee culture. A good example of
this is the type of cup you’re given after ordering a coffee.
Order a coffee in any café in America and you’re almost sure to receive that coffee
in a paper cup. Americans like getting their coffee to go. Whether they are on their way
to school, work, or simply taking a walk through the city, many of them often take their
coffee with them.
Order a coffee in any European café and you’re sure to get that coffee in a ceramic
(陶瓷的) cup with a package of sugar (and possibly a cup of water and a chocolate, depending
on where you are). Many cafés only offer paper cups for special occasions when more people
than chairs are expected.
Europeans generally don’t have coffee “to go” since they consider coffee drinking
to be more of a social activity. If you go to a café in Europe, you will find that people
drink their coffee with ease. Some have conversations while others read the daily newspaper.
Most American coffee shops provide a broad range of choices that satisfy different
customers (顾客). In Europe, you aren’t given as many choices because locals are all about
several basics.
Waiters in the U.S. are careful to keep a close eye on their tables to provide quality
service. Travelers will be surprised to find European waiters a little less attentive. If
you want something, you have to flag down your waiter. It doesn’t mean that European waiters
are impolite; it’s quite the opposite. They are simply giving you space to enjoy your meal.
Americans often pay attention to good service, while Europeans pay attention to the social
aspect of the meal.
21. Ordering coffee in the U.S., people will .
A. drink it slowly after taking it away
B. spend a relaxing time with friends
C. be given coffee in paper cups
D. be served with a good meal
22. Which of the following is TRUE about coffee drinking in Europe?
A. More attention is paid to the service of coffee shops.
B. It is considered as an important part of their daily life.
C. More people choose to drink coffee on special occasions.
D. It is treated as a social activity and enjoyed with ease.
23. What does the author think of European waiters?
A. They are so helpful and friendly.
B. They respect customers’ own space.
C. They are very patient and polite.
D. They serve customers with heart.
24. The underlined phrase “flag down” in the last paragraph probably means “ ”.
A. wave to the waiter to serve your table
B. shout to the waiter for your order
C. ask the waiter to make suggestions
D. give your praise for his service
25. The text is mainly talking about .
A. the cultural difference between the U.S. and Europe
B. the restaurant culture between the U.S. and Europe
C. the coffee culture between the U.S. and Europe
D. the social activities between the U.S. and Europe
B
The volcanic(火山的) ash cloud caused great chaos (混乱) in European flying zone not
seen since 9 / 11. Here is an outline of the effect of the volcanic ash cloud.
Around 17,000 flights were expected to be cancelled (取消) on Friday, with airspace
closed across much of Europe. “The volcanic ash is costing airlines more than USD$200
million a day,” air industry body International Air Transport Association (IATA) pointed
out. Passengers had to choose other ways for their travels. The Eurostar, which runs trains
between London and the European continent, said trains were operating at full capacity and
it might offer additional trains if necessary. London taxi firm Addison Lee said it had
taken requests for journeys to Paris, Milan, Zurich and Salzburg in Austria.
Airlines are expected to get little help from insurance firms. Most airlines are neither
insured against cancellations nor business disruption (扰乱) at airports. Insurer Munich
Re said it could offer cancellation insurance to airlines if necessary. “Up to now there
has not been demand in the market,” said a spokeswoman. “Maybe that will change now.”
Volcanic ash is not all harmful, though. Not just a natural disaster, the falling ash
from volcanic eruptions enriches the soil in the surrounding areas, making it very rich.
26. The volcanic ash had the biggest ill effect on .
A. the insurance firms B. the agriculture
C. the health of patients D. the air transport
27. It can be inferred from the text that due to the volcanic ash, the Eurostar .
A. got an unexpected benefit
B. would get fewer passengers than usual
C. got a good chance to prove its safety
D. would win the competition with the airlines
28. The most suitable title of this text should be .
A. Volcanic ash, a big danger to environment
B. Health effects of Icelandic volcanic ash
C. Impact (影响) of volcanic ash on Europe
D. The great harm of the volcanic ash
C
Have you ever played the game Telephone? You sit in a circle with a group of people
and one person whispers a phrase to the person next to him or her. Then, each person keeps
whispering the phrase around the circle until it reaches the last person, who repeats the
whispered statement out loud. What started out as “Pizza tastes great” can end up as
“Pete’s a great ape!” It’s funny to laugh at how twisted the sentence became as it got
passed around. Gossip can work the same way, but it’s not so funny. In fact, it can be
very hurtful. [来源:Z#xx#k.Com]
When you say mean things, tell stories that you’re not sure are true, or let out
information you know is supposed to remain private, you’re spreading gossip. What if you
saw funny Jake go into the principal’s office and you started wondering if he was in trouble.
There’s nothing wrong with wondering that, but what if you started telling other people
you think Jake’s in big trouble. You really don’t know why he was in the principal’s
office, right?
But before you know it, everyone is talking about how Jake is in trouble and imagining
why. Maybe he put his rubber snake in the teacher’s desk, someone says. Maybe he hit a
kid, another person suggests. Jake doesn’t come back to class for a long time, but when
he does, everyone wants to know what happened in the principal’s office. Jake might be
a little angry or confused about all the questions, especially when he explains, “I went
to the principal’s office because my mom was there to take me to a doctor appointment.”
That’s how rumors work. They start small and often blow up into something different
from the truth.
29. The first paragraph is written to .
A. give an example of gossiping
B. show how the game Telephone is played
C. discuss the difference between a game and gossip D. show how gossip
works
30. Jake’s example is to show that gossip can start when you .
A. say bad things about somebody
B. let out private information about somebody
C. are curious about what somebody is doing
D. tell something you are not sure about[来源:学*科*网]

67.第二节 读后续写(满分 25 分)
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整故事。
It was an unusually quiet day in the emergency room on December 25. Quiet, that is, except for those
who were standing around the nurses station complaining about having to work Christmas Day. I was triage
nurse(伤检分类护士) that day and had just been out to the waiting room to clean up. Just then five bodies
showed up at my triage desk, a pale woman and four small children.
"Are you all sick? "I asked suspiciously.
“Yes, ”she said weakly and lowered her head
But when it came to descriptions of their presenting problems, things got a little vague(模糊不清).
Two of the children had headaches, but the headaches weren’t accompanied by the normal body language
of holding the head. Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The
mother complained of a cough but seemed to work to produce it.
Something was wrong, but I didn't say anything but explained to the mother that it might be a little
while before a doctor saw her. She responded, "Take your time, it's warm in here.”She turned and, with a
smile, guided her children into the waiting room.
On a hunch(call it nursing judgment), I checked the chart after the admitting clerk had finished
registering(登记) the family, No address-they were homeless. The waiting room was warm. I looked out at
the family huddled ( 拥 挤 ) by the Christmas tree. The littlest one was pointing at the television and
exclaiming something to her mother. The oldest one was looking at her reflection in an ornament on the
Christmas tree.
I went back to the nurse’s station and mentioned we had a homeless family in the waiting room. The
nurses, complaining about working Christmas, turned to compassion for a family just trying to get warm on
Christmas. The team went into action, much as we do when there's a medical emergency. But this one was a
Christmas emergency. A special Christmas party was to be held

二、参考范文
We were all offered a free meal in the hospital cafeteria on Christmas Day, so we asked for that meal
and prepared a banquet for our Christmas guests. We also needed presents, so we put together candies,
fruits and other things available from different apartments. Rushing in and out of the waiting room, our
team made great efforts to make a warm party to meet the needs of a homeless family who just wanted to
be warm on Christmas Day
When the party ended, as the family walked to the door to leave, the mother came running back gave
me a hug and whispered, "Thanks for being our angels today. "As she ran back, they all waved one more
time before the door closed. Inside the nurse station, there stood a group of nurses with tears in their eyes,
who worked a Christmas Day that they will never forget
