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

The first thing my wife, Peg, said when I retired was “Good news! Now you'll have time to clean the garage!” Not exactly good news — it was the one task I'd been putting off. Inside the garage had been gaps so big you could see all the way down to the ground and all the junk that had piled up since I'd started my job.

I'd earned a job as a news director, a position where I could use my skills. I threw my whole into it and put aside all the family trifles. I'd even worked my way up to head of the office. And after 30 years' service, I knew it was lime to retire. But after decades of long hours and strict deadlines, now what? 

This dusty garage didn't seem like much compared to the marble halls of the office building. Sure, I would have more time to spend with my family, but I worried I'd lose the sense of purpose and identity I had felt in my job.

I picked my way past coolers, snow shovels and folded canvas. Here I was puttering （磨 蹭）, of all things. I pulled on work gloves, then removed a box of motor oil out of the way, intending to empty some shelves when my hand hit something hard. What could that be?

“Just a dusty tin of seeds.” I sighed. “Huh, maybe older than me.”

I grabbed a plastic tray and pushed them into the soil. “What are my chances?” I asked an experienced gardener. “Not very good,” he said. I told Peg with a sigh, wanting to get rid of the tray, but something made me hesitate.

One morning, a sprig of green accidentally came into my view. Was it just grass? A weed? Or could it be...? I found myself checking first thing every morning, until one day I saw leaves unfurled. I proudly showed off the broad, healthy leaves to Peg and our grandchildren. UI just feel it even something this old can still come up. Pretty cool, right? Just like your papa!”

21. Why did the author put off cleaning the garage?

A. The garage was not in use.    B. He was lazy with cleaning.

C. The garage was full of wastes.   D. He was occupied in his work.

22. How did the author feel about his retirement at first?

A. He felt a sense of loss.     B. He was worried about housework.

C. He felt freed from burdens.    D. He was hopeful about the future life.

23. What does the underlined word "something" in paragraph 6 mean?

A. The experience of planting seeds.

B. The ability to take care of the seeds.

C. The words from the gardener about chances.

D. The expectation for the coming up of the seeds.

B

It's an attractive idea: By playing online problem-solving, matching and other games for a few minutes a day, people can improve such mental abilities as reasoning, verbal skills and memory. But whether these brain training games deliver on those promises is up for debate.

A research team gathered more than eight thousand volunteers globally after collecting their submission of an online questionnaire about their training habits and which, if any, programs they used. Some one thousand participants reported using brain training programs for about eight months, on average, though durations ranged from two weeks to more than five years. Next, the volunteers completed 12 cognitive (认知) tests assessing their mental abilities. They faced specially designed memory exercises, such as menially rotating objects, pattern- finding puzzles and strategy challenges.

When looking at the results, researchers saw that brain (miners on average had no mental edge. Even among the most dedicated, who had used training programs for at least 18 months, brain training didn’t boost thinking abilities above (the level of people who didn't use the programs. Participants who had trained lor less than a month, also performed on par with people who didn't train at all.

“No matter how we sliced the data, we were unable to Inui any evidence that brain training games were connected with cognitive abilities,” says leader of the team. That held true whether the team analyzed participants by age. program used, education or socioeconomic status - all were cognitively similar to the group who didn't use the programs, suggesting that brain training games don't live up to its name. Accordingly, the study advocates no more time sitting at a computer and doing little tasks.

24. How does the author introduce the topic?

A. By questioning an idea.    B. By having a debate.

C. By explaining an example.   D. By making a comparison.

25. What can be learned about the brain training games from the research result?

A. They cost time to play well.     B. They improve mental abilities.

C. They aren't as helpful as imagined.   D. They aren't so popular as before.

29. Why do the researchers analyze the data from different angles?

A. To engage more participants.     B. To farther confirm the research result.

C. To test the limitation of the research.   D. To provide evidence for the association.

C

On June 7, 1195, a fiery spinning ball emerged from a dark cloud in the sunny sky close to the London city. An account of this extraordinary moment survives in a chronicle (编年史) between about 1180 and 1199 by Gervase. It would appear that this is the first credible record of ball lightning in England, and much more convincing than the earliest European description, which was believed to be from the 17th century.

Historians discovered the account of what appears to be ball lightning while exploring Gervase’s records of natural events in his chronicle, a treasure of historical details giving insights into medieval culture. They dug through hundreds of pages in Latin and came across this sighting. Gervase’s records of natural events appear within the historical narrative, often with no opening statement, and the account of ball lightning is sandwiched between the events of the changing of kings at that time.

No attempt is made to explain the “marvellous sign” in the sky seen near London. Readers are left to draw their own conclusions. But Gervase appears to have been a sharp-eyed observer and reporter of celestial （天空的）activity. His fanciful description of ball lightning is remarkably similar to modem reports.

Fora long time, ball lightning was regarded with skepticism. Although it is now generally accepted as a genuine phenomenon with thousands of reported sightings, there is still no accepted scientific explanation of its origin. Understanding the phenomenon has been blocked by an inability to reproduce the effect convincingly in the lab and partly because of the variations in eyewitness reports. Whatever the case, centuries later, Gervase's record makes stimulating reading for modem scientists as well as historians.

27. What's special about the account of ball lightning by Gervase?

A. It's the most confusing version.    B. It's written in different languages.

C. Ifs the earliest acknowledged record.   D. It5s the only copy from the 17th Century.

28. Historians spotted Gervase's account of ball lightning _____.

A. with ease  B. as planned   C. at the Start   D. by accident

29. It's difficult to explain the origin of ball lightning mainly because of ______.

A. no qualified scientists   C. no accurate reproductions

C. few eyewitnesses reports   D. little support from historians

33. Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A. Scientists Search for Explanations for Ball Lightning

B. Gervase Was Found as The Eyewitness of Ball Lightning

C. Account of First Ball Lightning Sighting Was Uncovered

D. Historians Gain a Breakthrough in a Natural Phenomenon

Why Are Tigers Orange?

The colors of an animal serve lots of different purposes — for instance, to help them hide into surroundings and escape from being noticed by preys （猎物）. For tigers, their ability to be invisible will just decide whether they catch dinner or go hungry.       31

As for humans, orange is a color used for items that need to stand out, like traffic lights and safety vests. That's because we have what's called trichromatic color vision, which differentiate three types of color: blue, green and red. 32      .  But most other mammals, including dogs, horses and deer, have dichromatic （二色的）color vision for only two colors: blue and green. Humans who get information only of blue and green arc considered color-blind, and can't distinguish between red and green colors.         33

Mammals like deer arc the tiger's main prey, and their dichromatic vision means they don't see tigers as orange — they see them as green. That makes the tiger much harder to spot as it's prowling behind a bush or crouching in the grass. Although green ligers would probably be even harder to spot, evolution （进化）just doesn't work with the ingredients necessary to make green fur. 34       The only recognizably green mammal is a sloth, and its fur isn't green in fact. That’s an alga that grows in its fur.

35        There seems to be no evolutionary pressure, particularly for deer, which arc the main prey of the tiger, to become trichromatic. That's probably because the tiger doesn't know it's orange either. So, the evolutionary race really doesn't exist for that color. It's just that the tiger has evolved over the sweep of evolution to have a coloring, a hiding system, which protects it very well in its jungle setting.

A. Actually, there are no green furry animals.

B. Orange fur makes tigers relatively easy to spot.

C. The same is likely true for dichromatic animals.

D. Then, why don't deer evolve the ability to see orange?

E. So, of all the colors they could be, why are tigers orange?

F. Colors of humans, eyes are quite similar to many other mammals’.

G. We share this style of vision with some mammals like apes and certain monkeys.

They spent the next two and a half hours there 49           their story was verified （证实）, and 50         made it to meet the Queen. Once again, the should-be 51           engineer was mistaken. Afterwards, she 52      , “We should have been simple, sensed the environment and then respond." Her son replied, “Mom, next time why don't you keep your mouth 53       .”

It might be surprising to know that ice-skating has appeared in the ancient limes. Believe it or not, it 56                (be) once a warriors’ (战士的)art with ice skates. The sport was then called bingxi, and it was practiced because Manchu men needed to master the skill of moving 350 kilometers in a single day 57     (reach) their enemies.

When the Manchu men moved from the north to the capital city of Beijing 58       came to power in the Qing Dynasty, ice-skating became 59      traditional sport. Every winter, there were 200 proficient ice-skaters 60        (select) to perform on the frozen royal lake.

Ice-skaters during those times wore knee pads, and they secured their shoes with leather. Their shoes 61        (fit) with single iron blades for speed, and double blades for security.

It was a cold yet sunny Saturday morning in February. Dad's New Year's resolution had been to get fit. Mum pushed him out of bed and told him to go jogging by the river. Later, after a nice lie-in. she went downstairs in her dressing gown and found the kids watching TV. She turned it off and said she was going to do something really special for Dad's birthday. If they overheard anything, just promised to keep it secret.

Jenny looked at Mum with a puzzled expression on her forehead and promised they wouldn’t say anything whatever happened. Bui Jenny reminded Dad's birthday was in June and it might be a little too early to get all steamed up about it.

Silent for a moment. Mum said she was not getting everything ready but just wanted to spare enough time for preparation as this year it's a bigger deal than usual. Dad was going to be 50.

“50! Gosh, that's half a century," spluttered Gerry. “I knew he was old, but I didn't realize he was ancient!”

Indeed, that was why Mum started planning; a special party for him. Mum talked with grandma about the plan because her house was the only one in the family that is spacious enough for all friends and relatives. Grandma quite agreed and also started preparing.

"But you know how Dad feels guilty to bother others. You've got to admit,” reminded Jenny. Thinking over the special occasion, Mum was continuing with her secret when one evening, Dad was sitting at the dinner table and he suddenly slapped his forehead, UI just realized that I am going to be 50 in June. Let's just quietly forget about it. I want to mourn （哀 悼）the passing of my youth in private."

“Oh, come on Dad, don't be such a spoil-sport!” begged the kids, hoping to give mum a hand.

Realizing no more chance to hide the secret, Mum carefully worded her thought and shared her plan of having a little party at grandma's house. Dad was stunned （震惊的）to no reply.

One Possible Version.

Dear Mrs. Evans,

So excited that we'll soon meet and join in the coming-of-age ceremony in our school. Here, I’d like to share with you our plan ahead of time briefly.

For this most awaited ceremony, we've arranged enlightening activities, like an inspiring speech, a video from parents with their best wishes, and best of all, a unique ritual where we'll make an oath of being responsible into adulthood. Attached is our detailed schedule. Please let me know if you have any suggestion.

How expectant that we are to have you with us through these moments. Right here waiting for you all.

Yours,

Li Hua

第二节：读后续写（满分25分）

One possible version: 

Frustrated, Mum made a call to grandma. Sensing Mum's sorrow, grandma comforted and advised, Why not just prepare a simple yet special get-together?” Slapped awaken by Mum's new plan, the two kids both burst into deafening cheers and skipped round and round. Together, they brainstormed a list of ideas when suddenly Jenny murmured, "What's Dad's resolution for the new year?” Suddenly, it all clicked and they merrily reached an agreement to plan a secret hiking trip to the hill they once frequented and a family picnic at the top.

They got everything ready as planned when June finally came. That morning, when Dad was about to jog as usual, Mum hurried to tell him about their new plan. Seeing the three in sportswear, Dad realized something, and this time he nodded. All the way, the two kids bounced around, laughing and chatting. He, along with Mum, recalled a lot of sweet memories in their youth. Upon arriving at the top, the three just pitched into the picnic in sheer pleasure. With the cool breeze, Dad gazed at them reflectively and suddenly realized that it’s no longer disturbing to celebrate birthday with the love of family.
