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

The other day, my friend Jane was invited to a 40th birthday party. The time printed on the invitation was 7:30pm. Jane went off with her husband, expecting a merry evening of wine, food, and song.

By 9:45, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared. Jane and David were restless. Other guests began whispering that they, too, were starving. But no one wanted to leave, just in case some food was about to appear. By 11:00, there was still no food, and everyone was completely off their heads. Jane and David left hungry and angry.

Their experience suggests that the words in the printed invitations need to be made clearer. Everyone reads and understands the invitations differently. Most of us would agree that 6:30 -8:30pm means drinks only, go out to dinner afterwards; 8:00pm or 8:30pm means possible dinner, but 9:30pm and any time thereafter means no food, eat beforehand, roll up late.

But this is not always the case. If asked to a students' party at 6:30pm, it is normal for guests not to appear before midnight, if at all, and no one cares. Being the first to arrive - looking eager - is social death. When my mother is asked to a party for 6:30, she likes to be there, if not on time, then no later than seven. My age group (late thirties) falls somewhere between the two, but because we still think we’re young, we're probably closer to student-time than grown-up time.

The accepted custom at present is confusing, sometimes annoying, and it often means you may go home hungry, but it does lend every party that precious element (成分) of surprise.

21. The underlined words “off their heads” probably mean_________________.

A. tired B. crazy C. curious D. hopeless

22. Jane and David’s story is used to show that_________________.

A. party-goers usually get hungry at parties

B. party invitations can be confusing

C. people should ask for food at parties

D. birthday parties for middle-aged people are dull

23. According to the writer, people in their late thirties_______________________.

A. are likely to arrive late for a party B. care little about the party time

C. haven't really grown up yet D. like surprises at parties

B

A cat is recovering in California after surviving a 6,500-mile journey across the Pacific stowed inside a Chinese shipping container without food or water. Staff and volunteers have named it “Ni Hao”, which is Chinese for “hello”.

It was discovered breathing shallowly after a two-week trip across the Pacific Ocean. The cat was seriously suffering from loss of water and starvation when the container was opened in California last week, but was said to be doing well after being sent to the Carson Animal Care Centre in Los Angeles. At first it was too weak to stand, but finally took its first steps. Then it ate a good meal and slept soundly. The cat woke up on Thursday morning, physically in a better condition than 24 hours ago.

“Ni Hao greeted the medical team with its first meow this morning and is attempting to stand,” said Marcia Mayeda, head of the Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control. Aaron Reyes, director of the Department, added, “We finally got to hear its voice. It sounds like a single-engine plane.”

Ni Hao is expected to be observed for 60 days but afterwards animal workers will look forward to providing it with a good shelter. “It’s much better for it to recover in a home environment,” Mr. Reyes said. “It’s just like a human being in a hospital so we’re hoping to move it.” He added, “Little by little we’re getting there. We’re hoping that under the treatment and with rest, it’ll be able to recover quickly.”

It was not immediately clear how the cat got into the container.

24. What does the underlined word “stowed” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. packed B. raised

C. hidden D. driven

25. What did the cat eat during the journey?

A. The mouse B. The bread.

C. Only water D. Nothing

26. When did the container to California start on its journey?

A. 60 days ago B. 2 weeks ago

C. One month ago D. 24 hours ago

27. The cat is likely to be taken care of by in the future.

A. a caring family B. animal workers

C. a medical team D. an animal shelter

C

British anthropologists Russell Hill and Robert Barton of the University of Durham, after studying the results of one-on-one boxing, tae kwon do, Greco-Roman wrestling and freestyle wrestling matches at the Olympic Games, conclude that when two competitors are equally matched in fitness and skill, the athlete wearing red is more likely to win.

Hill and Barton report that when one competitor is much better than the other, colour has no effect on the result. However, when there is only a small difference between them, the effect of colour is enough to tip the balance. The anthropologists say that the number of times red wins is not simply by chance, but that these results are statistically significant.

Joanna Setchell, a primate (灵长目动物) researcher at the University of Cambridge, has found similar results in nature. She studies the large African monkeys known as mandrills. Mandrills have bright red noses that stand out against their white faces. Setchell’s work shows that the powerful males—the ones who are more successful with females—have a brighter red nose than other males.

As well as the studies on primates by Setchell another study shows the effect of red among birds. In an experiment, scientists put red plastic rings on the legs of male zebra finches and this increased the birds’ success with female zebra finches. Zebra finches already have bright red beaks (鸟喙), so this study suggests that, as with Olympic athletes, an extra flash of red is significant. In fact, researchers from the University of Glasgow say that the birds’ brightly coloured beaks are an indicator of health. Jonathan Blount, a biologist, and his colleagues think they have found proof that bright red or orange beaks attract females because they mean that the males are healthier. Nothing in nature is simple, however, because in species such as the blue footed booby, a completely different colour seems to give the male birds the same advantage with females.

Meanwhile, what about those athletes who win in their events while wearing red? Do their clothes give them an unintentional advantage? Robert Barton accepts that “that is the implication” of their findings. Is it time for sports authorities to consider new regulations on sports clothing?

28. According to their research, Hill and Barton conclude that _____.

A. the colour of clothing has an effect on most sport events

B. red should be the choice of colour for clothing in sports

C. red plays a role when competitors are equally capable

D. athletes perform better when surrounded by bright red

29. The underlined word “tip” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _____.

A. achieve B. seek C. keep D. change

30. The example of the blue footed booby proves that _____.

A. male birds use different body parts to draw attention

B. red is not the only colour to attract female birds

C. blue gives female birds the same advantage

D. blue can indicate how healthy a bird is

31. What is the best title for the passage?

A. What Colour Implies More Power? B. A Tip on Clothing.

C. Need to Change the Rules in Sports? D. Red Is for Winners.

D

Every week in China, millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero, which is a Chinese-style spelling bee. In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.

Perhaps the show’s popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy(书法) to be one of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list. The result? It’s possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.

But there’s still hope for the paint brush. China’s Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.

In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher’s examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. “If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now?” we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. “The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture,” she reasons. “Students must learn now so they don’t forget when they grow up.” says the teacher.

32. What can we learn about the Character Hero?

A It’s open to people of all ages and all walks.

B. It’s the most-viewed TV programs in China.

C. It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world.

D. It draws great public attention across the country.

33. Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters?

A. Chinese people don’t refer to dictionaries very often.

B. Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy.

C. Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.

D. Chinese people needn’t write by hand as often with the help of technology.

34. .According to Shen Bin, being able to write characters by hand is_________.

A. necessary for adults to survive in China

B. a requirement made by the Education Ministry

C. helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture alive

D an ability to be developed only when you are students

35. Where does this text probably come from?

A. A news report. B. A science report.

C. An advertisement. D. Children’s literature.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Teenagers are supposed to be moody, right? One moment they are happy and laughing the next they are slamming their door to their room and crying into their pillow. You tell yourself, “Its just hormones,” and try to brush it off. Chances are you are right. ____36____Here are four questions to consider when assessing your teenager’s anxiety.

___37___ Most teenagers are known for staying up late and sleeping until noon especially on the weekends. Your teen’s sleep cycle does naturally shift to a later bedtime because they are releasing sleep hormones later in the evening . Most teens need anywhere from 8 to 10 hours of sleep to feel good and function well. If your teen is getting 12 or more hours of sleep on a regular basis, this could indicate that something is off. If there is no medical condition, this can be a symptom of depression. Talk to your teen about their sleep habits and find out if they are really tired or using sleep to avoid facing stressors.

Have their eating habits changed? Did your teen’s healthy appetite suddenly go away? Are they not coming down for dinner anymore or skipping breakfast? Has your son or daughter’s weight suddenly changed in either gained or lost weight over a short period of time with no explanation? Large changes in your teen’s appetite and weight could be a symptom of depression. ______38______ So see your child’s pediatrician（儿科医生） if this is the case.

Are they self-isolating? To some extent, teenagers do tend to spend more time alone in their rooms and enjoy their privacy. If, however they are choosing to spend time alone instead of hanging out with friends, or engaging in activities they once enjoyed, it’s time to get curious.___________39___________Teens today can get sucked into their rooms because streaming movies on Netflix or something alike. Parents need to encourage them to develop face-to-face relationships and be more fully present in their lives.  

Do they have low self-esteem? Middle school and high school years are all about fitting in, being popular or being good at something. There is pressure to be smart, pretty, athletic, popular, etc. and this can sometimes make your child feel less than they should. Parents can play a large role in boosting self-esteem by offering authentic praise, giving a lot of support, laying off the pressure to be perfect in school with straight A’s or excelling in sports and just accepting them how they are. _____40_____

A. Does your teen sleep well ?

B. Does your teen sleep too much?

C. It’s important to rule out a medical condition.

D. It’s normal for teenagers today to be moody or depressed.

E. Letting your teen know you love them no matter what goes a long way.

F. Talk to your teen about why they don’t want to spend time with friends and family.

G. But knowing whether your teen is just moody or depressed could save your teen’s life.

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。

“Good news,” Mom said, with a bright smile on her face. "The Parker family wants Surfer. They'll be here in an hour to take him home. ” Surfer had been with us for two days. While I was sad at the thought of seeing him go, I knew I couldn't keep him.

My family operate a foster home（收养所）for pets. Surfer had been in an animal shelter, and he was sent to us so we could place him with a loving family. Surfer was a cute puppy, so finding a home for him had been very easy. Dad entered Surfer's information into a pet adoption website, along with some photos, and within a few hours, the Parkers applied to adopt him. Mom looked over their application, and they seemed like responsible people, so she called them.

However, not every dog was so lucky. Zooey was nine years old, and she'd been with us for a few months. It seemed like nobody wanted to adopt an older dog. Dad said that was a shame because older dogs made wonderful companions. Zooey's previous owner had treated her terribly, and when she was sent to us she was injured. I remember how angry Dad seemed at the time. "No dog should be treated like that,“ he said.

When Zooey came to us, she was upset around everyone. She barked at our two dogs as if in defense and backed away when I tried to approach her. But with our considerate care, it wasn't long before Zooey trusted us. I took her on walks around the neighborhood and got her used to other people and dogs. She took a real liking to Surfer. In fact, they often curled together as they napped（打盹）.

The Parkers soon arrived, and we all went into the backyard so they could meet with Surfer. Zooey followed us out, her tail wagging lazily, as Surfer rolled in the grass with the two Parker children.

注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；

Paragraph 1 ：

When Surfer got tired, he wandered back to Zooey.
