第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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。

A

Listening to audio books(有声读物) is a really terrific way to enjoy all kinds of books during those times of the day when stopping to sit down and read a book is not an option. An audio book gives the listener hours and hours of entertainment or instruction, or sometimes both at the same time. They are great for people of all ages and make a long road trip a more interesting experience, instead of being boring and dull.

The biggest benefit of an audio book is that it can be listened to anyplace and anytime. It is a favorite companion for people while they are traveling, commuting, exercising, shopping, working in the garden, or even dusting and vacuuming the house. Using headphones with your favorite audio book player allows you to listen to and absorb the information no matter what might be going on around you.

Even when you are in a situation that is quiet and are able to enjoy a good audio book, there are still advantages of using your headphones. You can often improve your retention(记忆力) and comprehension of the material when you use headphones because they help reduce distractions from other noises and help you focus better.

There are a number of different audio books these days that people can choose from. There are audio books on CDs, on audio cassettes(盒式磁带) and also as MP3s and any standard CD player, cassette recorder, or MP3 player that you might use to listen to music can function as an audio book player as well.

No matter which kind of audio book you prefer to listen to, there is an ever-increasing variety of works that you can select from these days. Virtually any subject matter that is contained in printed books will have at least some audio version available as well. However, books on audio cassettes are starting to become rarer.

B. Education changed his life.

21.What's the biggest advantage of listening to audio books? A. It's convenient.

B. It makes traveling full of fun.

D. It helps people to get concentrated.

C. It allows people to listen with headphones.

22.We can infer from the last paragraph that______. A. it's best to listen to audio books on audio cassettes B. it's usually easy to get books on audio cassettes C. printed books are out-of-date

D. it is worthwhile to keep books on audio cassettes

23.What does the underlined word “Virtually” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Almost.

B. Perhaps.

C. Unfortunately.

B

Day 3: Tuesday December 2

We planned to go to Rothera that morning. We’d be staying there for the next two weeks. Because Antarctica is the windiest place on earth, sometimes you can’t fly at all.

We had a nervous wait over breakfast to find out if we’d be leaving that day. People have to stay in Stanley for weeks while the pilots wait for good weather.

It turned clear at 9:30 and we took off at 10:30 on a little red plane called a Dash-7. But even when we were in the air, there was still a chance we wouldn’t be able to fly the whole day. Day 4: Wednesday December 3

After waking up in the Antarctic for the first time today I can understand why everybody who comes here falls in love with the place. It is really beautiful.

We’re staying at Rothera Survey base with mountains of ice all around. It is about minus 20C today, which for me is very cold, but the regulars(常客) here are often seen walking around in T-shirts !

Day 5: Thursday December 4

I woke up to another beautiful sunny day here in the Antarctic. I’m told it’s a bit colder today, about minus 50C , but it’s not very windy so it feels warmer. Those of us who are new to the base have to do a special training course before we're allowed to go off base to other stations or to go snowboarding over the nearby hill.

Lizzie’s diary from Antarctica (南极洲)

D. Regularly.

Day 7: Saturday December 6

Not a cloud in the sky and it’s warm enough to sit outside (in a jacket).

The most amazing thing about this place is how the scenery (风景) changes every day. At first I thought I was going mad. I’d step outside in the morning and think, “I’m sure that big mountain of ice wasn’t there yesterday.” It’s because the sea ice is always moving—slowly thankfully !

24.Lizzie sat outside wearing a jacket on_______. A. Tuesday C. Thursday

B. Wednesday D. Saturday

25.What could stop Lizzie from leaving Stanley for Rothera? A. Strong winds. C. Mountains of ice.

B. Thick clouds. D. Low temperatures.

26.How did Lizzie feel during her stay in the Antarctic? A. Afraid. C. Amazed.

B. Nervous. D. Bored.

27.Rothera was unforgettable to me because _______. A. people walked around in T-shirts C. the weather was sometimes warm

B. there was a special training course D. the scenery changed every day C

I always feel sorry for world leaders busy dealing with fights between nations. When my three children were young, most days it was hard to keep my house from becoming a battlefield.

It got worse as they grew older. Three years ago, Zack, then 16, couldn’t make it through a day without making his sisters, Alex 11 and Taryn 9, angry.

My husband and I tried to be understanding the boy at such an age. We reasoned, punished, and left heartfelt notes on his bed about how he was hurting our family. His answer was “I say it because it’s true.”

I even tried telling the girls to fight back. Bad idea. Now I had three children at war. Whatever I said to them, they paid no attention. When there was no way out, I told everything to my sister in an e-mail. She replied, “Don’t e-mail me. E-mail him.”

Our son was online every day, mailing and talking with his friends. Maybe he would actually hear

me this way. I didn’t say anything different, but e-mail just took the tension(紧张) away. There’d be no shouting or door banging. Zack wouldn’t feel under attack.

Zack didn’t reply for days. When he finally did, his entire message was four small words. I smiled when I read them, “You’re right. I’m sorry.”

The children still fought, of course, but Zack changed. Best of all, I now have a better way to talk with not one but three of them. I like it that they don’t tune me out as much as they used to. They like not having to listen to me shouting to them. Or as Alex says, “You’re so much nicer online.”

All I know is that the house is quiet. But we’re talking. 28.What was the trouble before the online talk in the family? A. The writer failed to understand her daughters. B. The children couldn’t get along peacefully. C. The family found it difficult to keep the house clean. D. The parents were not willing to talk with their children.

29.The writer once tried to deal with her son’s problem by ________. A. talking with him about her pain

B. telling him about the truth of the family

D. encouraging her daughters to fight against

C. telling her daughters to keep away from him him.

30.The writer e-mailed her sister ________. A. to tell her about the family problem C. asking about child-raising

B. hoping she’d e-mail the boy D. to reduce the tension

31.The underlined phrase “tune me out” in the passage probably means “________”. A. quarrel with me C. pay no attention to me

B. get angry with me D. keep me out of their rooms D

Every summer, the Serengeti plains (平原) of Africa are worth visiting. Millions of wild animals begin their 1,800-mile journey northwards on their annual migratory (迁移的) route.

In the month of November, polar bears in their thousands cross the Canadian Arctic, as they head towards the ice sheets of Hudson Bay. The sea ice that forms every winter is the key to the bear’s managing to exist, for here they hunt for seals (海豹).

The Great Bustard, one of the heaviest flying birds, migrates each year across Europe and Asia to

its wintering grounds. Unluckily, these and other migratory animals are in danger from human activity.

We have written several articles on climate change and the effect of rising ocean temperatures. Since 1979, ice sheets in the Arctic have gone down by 30 percent. What does this mean for polar bears? They are forced to stay on land for longer periods of time, which delays their search for food. As a result, bears today are 60 pounds lighter than what they were. Besides, smaller bears also produce weaker babies, and their chances of survival are at risk. In the plains of Africa, migratory animals like gazelles are traveling long distances for food, just to avoid falling prey (牺牲品) to humans who hunt them.

In an unusual step, experts from 120 countries have agreed to protect 31 migratory mammals, fish and birds. The United Nation’s 11th annual Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) was held in Quito, Ecuador. For the first time, 900 experts attended the conference, and the enthusiastic support shows the world is united in conservation (保护) efforts.

What does getting on a protected list mean? Countries that have signed the agreement will be required to pass laws locally and work with other countries that fall within the animal’s migratory path. Only one animal did not make the list. The African lion was rejected (拒绝) for lack of information of the countries where it lives.

32.What can we learn from the passage?

A. The Great Bustard is one of the largest flying birds. B. The weight of polar bears today is lighter than what it was. C. In the 1970s, ice sheets went down by 30 percent. D. 120 experts have agreed to protect 21 migratory animals.

33.Why was the African lion not included in the list from the passage? A. We don’t know which countries it lives in. C. Experts were not interested in this animal.

B. It isn’t a migratory animal.

D. It was not traveling long distances for food.

34.The writer writes this passage aiming to __________. A. let us know about the animals

B. prevent the rare animals from dying out

C. inform us of the effects of climate change

D. draw our attention to helping the migratory animals

35.All these factors have probably put the migratory animals in danger EXCEPT _______. A. some human activity

B. the enthusiastic support from experts

C. rising ocean temperatures D. climate change

I’m happy to get from your letter and knew you’re coming to China.

Among the two trips to the Yangtze River and Mount Tai, both are high recommended (推荐). Personally, I prefer the tour along the Yangtze, longest river and one of the mother river of Chinese civilization. You can learn a tot about the history of China and Chinese people. Moreover, the scenery along the river are amazing, with many well-know sightseeing spots. That’s because I think the trip along the Yangtze will be a better choice.

First of all, find out what leads to your pressure, which can help you take measures to deal with it. Secondly, why not set up a suitable goal? Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Thirdly, you'd

I hope you will benefit from my suggestions. Best wishes to you.
