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
First published in 2001, the book Life of Pi written by Canadian author Yann Martel won the Man Booker Prize and an Asian American Prize for Literature. It is the story of a young boy named Pi who spends 227 days at sea with a small group of animals after disaster strikes their ship and is an account of his journey of survival and hardship.
Piscine (“Pi” is short for Piscine) Molitor Patel, on whom Life of Pi is based, is a young boy living in Pondicherry, India, where his father owns a zoo. The story starts when Patel's family decide to move to Canada, along with their zoo animals for their new home.
However, because of the bad weather, the ship sinks. Pi, an orangutan(猩猩), an injured zebra, a hyena(鬣狗) and a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker are the only survivors who take shelter in a small lifeboat. Both the injured zebra and the orangutan are soon killed and eaten by the hyena. The tiger in turn kills and eats the hyena, leaving just the two of them alone on the boat now.
In an effort to avoid being eaten by Richard Parker, Pi acts himself as the head of the group and remains safe from harm. Since he does not want the tiger to die for fear of going mad by being alone on the boat, he fishes and feeds the two of them in order to stay alive.
The life of Pi then enters its third stage when their lifeboat washes up on the shores of Mexico and the tiger escapes into a nearby forest leaving Pi alone. After the Mexicans refuse to believe Pi's story, he changes his story by replacing the animals with his mother, a cook and a sailor and asks the Mexicans which one they prefer. They prefer hearing the first story though they do not believe a word of it.
In my view, Life of Pi is a must read book for all those who love reading.
21. Through the passage, we know the book Life of Pi ____.
A. was written 2 years ago B. was awarded two prizes
C. is about a pleasant voyage D. is a good history book
22.In the book Life of Pi the hyena is killed by ________.
A. Piscine B. the zebra C. the orangutan D. Richard
23. How does Pi escape being eaten by the tiger?
A. By catching fishes for the tiger. B. By locking the tiger in a cage.
C. By being the head of them two. D. By fighting with the tiger.
24.Which can be the author's attitude to the book Life of Pi ?
A. Supportive. B. Disappointed. C. Unconcerned. D. Doubtful.
B
What would you like to do first, when a storm is coming? Perhaps, leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety! But there are a few people who will get into cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.
“Storm chasing(追逐)” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby, especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.
Although anyone can do it, storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm seasons.
Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement. “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”
However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,” says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of nature. It is the greatest show on Earth.”
25. For storm chasing, storm chasers should first ____.
A. stay patiently for the storm to develop
B. collect information for a coming storm
C. drive straight to the center of the storm
D. find shelters to hide themselves at once
26. Beginners of storm chasing are advised ____.
A. to do it in an organized way B. to stay far away from a storm
C. to spend much more time on it D. not to run along in a heavy rain
27. “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph really means ___.
A. a lot of money is spent in chasing storm
B. a storm gifts the greatest show on Earth
C. storm chasing is worth hours of waiting
D. the best view deserves your being brave
28. What can we learn from the text?
A. Storm chasing is just a game fit for young people.
B. Some storm chasers were killed during the storms.
C. Sometimes storm chasers just feel a bit disappointed.
D. Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world.
C
Edmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago. Some scientists had already observed comets then, and Halley studied them carefully. The orbit(轨道) of one special comet was a very hard mathematical(数学的) problem. He couldn’t work it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.
However, Halley had a friend named Newton, who was an excellent mathematician. Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse (椭圆).
Now Halley set to work. He worked out the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607, and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart.
This seemed very strange to Halley. The different comets followed the same orbit. The more Halley thought about it, the more he thought that there had not been three different comets, as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come back again.
It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction of what comet would happen in the future. He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before Halley's prediction could be tested. In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he has died some years before. Ever since then that comet has been called Halley's comet, in his honor.
29. Halley made his discovery ________.
A. by using the work of other scientists B. through his own careful observation
C. by doing some experiments secretly D. by figuring out some hard problems
30. Halley made an amazing, but right prediction in ______.
A. 1607 B. 1682 C. 1705 D. 1811
31. This passage in general is about ________.
A. Halley and other scientists B. the orbit of a comet
C. Newton and Halley D. Halley and his discovery
32. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. The orbit of a comet was a round shape.
B. Halley did not live up to the year 1758.
C. Halley was an Australian mathematician.
D. Halley worked out the comet’s orbit first.
D
There are many gardening tips. Some suggest playing music for your house plants, having conversations with them, or even giving them a gentle touch now and then. Most of these practices are probably more for the benefit of the gardener than the garden, and generally harmless enough but except the last one. Your plants really dislike it when you touch them.
A new study out of the La Trobe Institute for Agriculture and Food has found that most plants are extremely sensitive to touch, and even a light touch can seriously affect their growth. “The lightest touch from a human, animal, insect, or even plants touching each other in the wind, can make a huge gene(基因) response in the plant,” Jim Whelan, who led the new study, said. “Within 30 minutes of being touched, 10% of the plant’s genome(基因组) is changed. This causes a huge loss of energy which is taken away from plant growth. If the touching is repeated, then plant growth is reduced by up to 30%.”
Whelan and his team are still trying to find out why plants respond, at the genetic level, so strongly. They do have some theories, however. We know that when an insect lands on a plant, genes are awakened preparing the plant to defend itself against being eaten ,” said Dr. Yan Wang, co-author of the study.
Until more research is done, it’s just a guess at this point. Still, the findings might already lead to new methods for how agriculturalists deal with their crops to best promote(促进) healthier growth.
It’s worth noticing that while the study found that plants often respond to just a single touch in negative ways, it’s really repeated touching that causes lasting unhealthy growth. That’s because the plants are looking for styles in the touching, to tell harmful touch from random touch. So it doesn’t matter if you accidently brush up against a bush during a walk through the woods.
33.How is the passage mainly developed?
A. By giving examples B. By comparing and describing
C. By listing numbers D. By showing results of studies
34.Why can touching prevent a plant growing according to the study?
A. It leads to the plant’s energy waste.
B. It makes the plant sensitive to dangers.
C. It causes a genetic disorder in the plant.
D. It prevents the plant receiving sunlight.
35. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Something is done to help plants grow.
B. Plants’ genome can be changed easily.
C. Plants don’t really like to be touched.
D. What we do every day may destroy plants.
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Maybe you are an average(普通的) student. 36. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:
Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First, time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then, decide a good, regular time for studying. 37. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.
Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials(材料). No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, put your heart into your work.
Make good use of your time in class. 38. Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. 39. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you’ll remember it longer.
Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried.
40. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.
A. This will help you understand the next class.
B. You probably think you will never be a top student.
C. Don’t forget to set aside enough time to relax yourself.
D. Make full use of time to do exercises as many as possible.
E. No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.
F. Take advantage of class time to listen to what the teacher says.
G. There are other methods that might help you with your studying.

One day a student in one of our universities was taking a walk with a professor, who was commonly _41_ the students' friend.

The student turned to the professor, saying, “Let's play the man a _45_: We will hide his shoes, and _46 ourselves behind those bushes, and wait to see his anxiety(焦虑) when he cannot find them.”
“My young friend,” answered the _47 _, “we should never _48 ourselves at the _49 of the poor. But you are _50_, and you may give yourself a much greater _51_ by means of the rich man. Put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and _52_how the discovery affects him.”
The student did so, and they both placed themselves behind the bushes. The poor man soon finished his work, and came_53_the field to the path _54_he had left his coat and shoes.

He fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven and said aloud a genuine thanksgiving, in which he_59 his wife, sick and helpless, and his children without bread.

Last month, I borrowed a English novel named Great Expectations. To tell the truth, it was the first time that I have read an English novel. It was difficultly because there were many new words. I had to spend much time looking up for new words. However, I forced myself read one page each day. Sometimes I tried guessing the meanings of the words instead of turning to the dictionary, what seemed to help me remember the words better. In this way, I have gradual learnt many new word. I suggest you can read as many English books as you can because it’s a good way to improve my English.
