第二部分：阅读理解（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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Here are several destinations we’ve selected from four Asian countries for your adventure. Check them out:
Mongolia
Almost no one visits the country, and most people aren’t aware of the amazing potential it has. Head to Mongolia’s best-known national park, Terelji. If you intend to watch performances of archery(射箭)or enjoy outdoor adventures from bird-watching to hiking and climbing or horseback riding through grassy steppes and forest-covered mountains, you can spend a night in a traditional tent.
Indonesia
Offering the chance for world-class diving to visit the world’s biggest Buddhist temple, and to see amazing wildlife, Indonesia is a must-visit. A must-visit for anyone in Indonesia is Mount Ijen. It’s in East Java, the highest point of which is home to the most active volcano in the country, Mount Merapi. But the Blue Fire Crater is the spot we recommend you to visit.
Malaysia
Want to achieve something great on your next Asian adventure? You should consider climbing one of the highest mountains in Southeast Asia. Kinabalu National Park in Malaysia is the home of Mount Kinabalu, the mountain that around 40,000 people from all around the world go to climb every year. The journey normally takes two days.
China
In Shanxi province of the country lies the world’s most dangerous hiking trail(路线). It’s up Mount Huashan, which is only 2,155m high. But the dangerous part is not the top, but the narrow, wooden boards you have to climb up to reach the top. They’re fixed onto the mountainside in a way that doesn’t look very secure. Nevertheless, many adventurers try and take a hair-raising picture as they climb up.
21.Where can tourists experience local life?
A. Kinabalu National Park. B. Terelji.
C. Mount Huashan. D. Mount Ijen.
22.What is special about Mount Huashan?
A. It has amazing scenery. B. It is very high.
C. It has the most dangerous route. D. It is perfect for taking pictures.
23.What do all the destinations have in common?

C. They all offer chances for diving. D. They are in mountainous areas.
B
To find an entrance to the deserted plant without being noticed, George Wilson sneaked around the fence, a bag on his back and his hands in his pockets.
However, George thought twice when a guard dog appeared. “I’m not afraid of the gatekeeper—at least I can try to persuade him. But a dog? Forget it. I’ll find another way. "While planning his special visit to the plant, the 25-year-old did some research, but still failed to locate the entrance.
George is among the thousands who are crazy about “taking adventures”, which they call urban exploration, or “urbex”. The aim is to explore structures—usually abandoned ruins or “hidden parts of the man-made environments”.
One of the most common examples of urban exploration is venturing(冒险) into abandoned structures, which usually include amusement parks, factories, power plants, missile silos, fallout shelters, hospitals, asylums, schools and houses.
Urban explorers are interested in visiting such sites, as they can discover “other parts of a city” and get to understand its history from a different angle.
George, who worked for a German company in New York for six months, said he enjoyed the contrast between the city’s two sides—modern and crowded, compared with old-fashioned and silent—and wanted to learn more about the city during his short stay.
George said that he was able to finally sneak in through another entrance, yet he was still asked to leave by a gatekeeper shortly after. But he then managed to get into a newly built residential block, climbed to the top and took a picture of the factory ruins at sunset.
“I will come back another day,” he said.
24. What made George fail to enter the entrance first?
A. The gatekeeper. B. The fence. C. The bag. D. The dog.
25. What do we know about George Wilson in the passage?
A. He is frightened of nothing.
B. He loves exploring natural environment.
C. He takes an interest in old buildings.
D. He enters a place easily every time.
26.Why are the urban explorers keen on visiting the abandoned structures?
A. Because they can know the history of the city.
B. Because they can visit different kinds of places.
C. Because they can move from one country to another.
D. Because they can do all the researches.
27. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. how to explore an abandoned plant.
B. a kind of adventurer—urban explorers.
C. Ye Tian’s love for abandoned structures.
D. how to explore a city’s history.
C
The National Center for Health Statistics has carried out a research, which is viewed as an important evidence of the “Hispanic mortality paradox (西班牙裔死亡率悖论).”
On average, Hispanics live longer than whites and blacks. Their life expectancy at birth in 2006 was 80.6 years, compared with 78.1 for whites, 72.9 for blacks and 77.7 years for the total population.
The report shows that although Hispanic socioeconomic status (社会经济地位) are lower than that of whites，they have higher life expectancy at birth and at almost every age. “Mortality is closely connected with income, education and health care access,” says Elizabeth Arias, author of the report. “According to these, the Hispanic population should have a higher mortality than Whites, the same as the black population.” But in fact, they don’t.
The Hispanic paradox has been recorded for more than two decades, but this is the first time the government has had enough data to issue national numbers. Researchers are struggling to explain why Hispanics live longer.
“We don’t know,” says David Hayes-Bautista, director of the Center for the Study of Hispanic Health and Culture at UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine. “We thought there was a problem in the data, but we can pretty much say this is real.”
Potential factors:
·Culture and lifestyle. Due to the support from extended family and lower rates of smoking and drinking, Hispanic groups in particular have very strong family and social ties and healthy lifestyle.
·Migration. The “healthy migrant effect” argues that healthy people are more likely to migrate. And when immigrants become ill, they might return home and die there.
“Solving the puzzle may help the nation deal with health care issues because Hispanics use health services less—they make fewer doctors visits and spend less time in hospitals,” Hayes Bautista says. “It’s clearly something in the Hispanic culture,” he says.
28. In 2006, Hispanics’ life expectancy is years longer than the average of whites.
A. 2. 9 B. 2. 5 C. 80. 6 D. 7. 7
29. What is the main idea of paragraph three?
A. Even experts can’t explain the phenomenon.
B. Morality is closely related with health care access.
C. Whites should have longer life expectancy.
D. Hispanics were born better than whites.
30. What’s Mr. Hayes Bautista’s opinion about the paradox?
A. He supports the healthy migrant effect is the most important factor.
B. He thinks there is a problem with the data.
C. he believes health care has much effect on the paradox.
D. He holds the view that the cultural factor influences the paradox.
31. Which of the following conclusions is true according to the passage?
A. Hispanics might have healthier ways of life.
B. Black people suffered the lowest social status in American.
C. White people don’t have strong family ties.
D. Only healthy people can immigrate into America.
D
As children, we were taught that only by studying hard and getting good results at school could we become successful. But actually, the good boys and good girls may just end up doing a job they are not fond of. Why is it like that? The answer is that what you need for a good and successful life is not really learned at school.
Basically, whether you’re good or not at school very much depends on the teachers’ expectations. But in reality, there are many aspects to take care of aside from the school subjects, for example, what to do to be a happy person, how to maintain a healthy relationship, how to work smartly and what to do to lead a meaningful life, etc.
Doing well at school differs from doing well in life. You may have already known that Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, Oprah Winfrey and Jim Carey didn’t perform very well at school. In fact, there are a lot more than just the "big shots "who are successful in life without completing school.
Life is really a long lesson, so long that you can’t define a person’s success by just one section of it. If you have already finished school, keep learning because what you learned at school will never be enough to lead a great life. If you are still studying, whether you are good or bad at school, don’t take your school results too seriously. If you are a parent or a teacher, don’t just focus on the grades the children get. Try to discover their potentials and make the most of their talents. That’s how they build confidence and eventually lead a successful life.
32. What do we know from the text?
A. Whether to be good students or not depends on students themselves.
B. Good performance at school promises successful life.
C. School subjects are less important than other aspects.
D. Everything needed in life can not be learned at school.
33. What does the underlined phrase "big shots "in paragraph 3 mean?
A. excellent students B. important persons
C. famous stars D. successful businessmen
34. Which point of view may the author support?
A. Students must strictly obey school rules.
B. Excellent students will have more opportunities.
C. Teachers should set a good example to students.
D. Parents shouldn’t always focus on their kids grades.
35. What might be the best title for the text?
A. The Importance of Lifelong Learning
B. The Secret to Being Successful in Life
C. Success at School doesn’t Equal Success in Life
D. What We Need for a Successful Life

第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5 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。
Can You Trust Your Brain?
Your brain lies to you a lot. ____36____Even when your brain is doing important and difficult stuff, you’re not aware of most of what’s going on.
Your brain doesn’t intend to lie to you, of course. For the most part, it’s doing a great job, working hard to help you survive and achieve your goals in a complicated world. Because you often have to react quickly to emergencies and opportunities, your brain usually tries to get a simple answer in a hurry rather than a prefect answer that takes time to work out. But as the world is not simple, this means that your brain has to take shortcuts and make a lot of assumptions. ____37____
The problem start when the brain takes in information from the world through the senses. Even if you are sitting quietly in a room, your brain receives far more information than it can hold on to or than you need to decide how to act. You may be aware of the detailed pattern of colours in the rug, the photographs on the wall and the sounds of birds outside, but quickly forgets them. ____38____
When people look at complicated pictures, they can identify differences if the images remain still. But if the image moves quickly, then they have a lot more trouble. ____39____ To test this, psychologists have tried more interesting ways of getting people to fail to notice things. In one of our favorites, a researcher approaches someone on the street and asks for directions. While the person is replying, workmen carry a large door between the two people, blocking their view of each other. Behind the cover of the door, the person who asked for directions is replaced by another researcher who carries on the conversation as if nothing had happened. Even when the second person looks very different from the first, the person giving the directions has only about a fifty per cent chance of noticing the change. ____40____

A. Your brain’s lies are in your best interest—most of the time—but they also lead to predictable mistakes.
B. This is because we imagine that we remember more details than we really can.
C. The experiments illustrate that you are only aware of a little bit of what’s going on in the world.
D. Your brain selectively processes details that are important for you to notice.
E. Usually these things aren’t important so we don’t often notice how much information we lose.
F. This happens because our visual memory isn’t very good.
G. We’re sorry to have to tell you this but it’s true.

His socks never made it into the hamper (洗衣篮). And he only picked up his toys when Mom threatened to throw them away. Most days, Mom followed Arthur around the house and cleaned up after him. She brushed the crumbs (碎屑) into her hand and threw them away after meals. She picked up his socks and made sure they got washed, dried and folded neatly before going back in the drawer. She often picked up his toys when he left them to do something else.
One day, Mom asked Arthur to pick up his toy trains. “Not right now,” Arthur said. He was reading a comic book. The trains had been on the living room floor since the morning.
“You know what, Arthur? I’m not going to ask you again. I’m done cleaning today.” And with that. Mom put her feet up on the sofa and picked up a book to read.
At dinner time, Arthur noticed that there was a big pile of crumbs at his place at the table. Mom’s spot was nice and clean. Arthur didn’t like the crumbs very much. After dinner, Arthur’s feet felt cold. He went to his room and opened his drawer, but the drawer was empty. “Mom, where are my socks?” Arthur called.
“There weren’t any socks in your hamper, so I didn’t wash them,” Mom said. Arthur felt unhappy. Now his feet would be cold, unless he wanted to wear dirty socks from the floor. He decided to stay barefoot.
When it was time for bed, Arthur said good night to Mom and turned to go upstairs. Arthur stepped right on his toy train in his bare feet. “Ouch!” cried Arthur. “That really hurt !”

英语试题答案解析
A

21.【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据Mongolia部分中的Head to Mongolia’s best-known national park, Terelji. If you intend to watch performances of archery(射箭)or enjoy outdoor adventures from bird-watching to hiking and climbing or horseback riding through grassy steppes and forest-covered mountains, you can spend a night in a traditional tent.可知，前往蒙古最著名的国家公园Terelji。如果你想观看射箭表演，或享受户外冒险活动，从观鸟到徒步旅行、爬山，或骑马穿越长满青草的大草原和森林覆盖的山脉，你可以在传统的帐篷里度过一个晚上。由此可知，在Terelji游客可以接触到当地的生活。故选B项。
22.【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据China部分中的In Shanxi province of the country lies the world’s most dangerous hiking trail(路线). It’s up Mount Huashan, which is only 2,155m high.可知，在中国的陕西省有世界上最危险的徒步旅行路线。它在华山上，只有2155米高。由此可知，华山的特别在于它有最危险的路线。故选C项。
23.【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。根据Mongolia部分中的If you intend to watch performances of archery(射箭)or enjoy outdoor adventures from bird-watching to hiking and climbing or horseback riding through grassy steppes and forest-covered mountains, you can spend a night in a traditional tent. 根据Indonesia部分中的A must-visit for anyone in Indonesia is Mount Ijen. (印尼的伊真山是每个人必去的地方)，Malaysia部分中Kinabalu National Park in Malaysia is home to Mount Kinabalu, the mountain that around 40,000 people from all around the world go to climb every year.(马来西亚的基纳巴卢山国家公园是基纳巴卢山的所在地，每年大约有来自世界各地的4万人去攀登这座山)及China部分中的But the dangerous part is not the top, but the narrow, wooden boards you have to climb up to reach the top. They’re fixed onto the mountainside in a way that doesn’t look very secure. (但是危险的地方不是顶部，而是你必须爬上去才能到达顶部的狭窄木板。它们以一种不太安全的方式固定在山腰上)可知，这四个地点都是在山区里。故选D项。
B
【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，以George Wilson为例介绍了城市探险家，他们热衷于参观废弃的建筑，希望从不同的角度了解城市的历史。
24. 【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, George thought twice when a guard dog appeared. “I’m not afraid of the gatekeeper—at least I can try to persuade him. But a dog? Forget it. I’ll find another way.”可知，然而，一只看门狗让George三思。“我不怕看门人，至少我可以尽力说服他，但是狗呢？算了吧，我会另辟蹊径的。”也就是说那条看门狗让George没能从入口进去，故D项正确。
25. 【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段“George is among the thousands who are crazy about “taking adventures”, which they call urban exploration, or “urbex”. The aim is to explore structures—usually abandoned ruins or “hidden parts of the man-made environments”.”可知，George是成千上万对冒险感兴趣的人中的一员，他们把这种冒险称为城市探险，其目的是探索建筑结构——通常是废弃的废墟或隐藏的人造环境的组成部分，由此可知，他对老建筑感兴趣，故C项正确。
26.【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。根据第五段“Urban explorers are interested in visiting such sites, as they can discover “other parts of a city” and get to understand its history from a different angle.”可知，城市探险家有兴趣参观这些废弃的地方，因为他们可以发现“城市的其他部分”，并从不同的角度了解其历史，也就是说，城市探险家热衷于参观废弃的建筑是因为他们可以了解城市的历史，故A项正确。
27. 【答案】B
【解析】主旨大意题。本文是以George为例介绍了城市探险家，他们热衷于参观废弃的建筑，希望从不同的角度了解城市的历史。故B项正确。
C
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了西班牙裔死亡率悖论，即尽管社会经济地位低于白人，西班牙裔人寿命更长。
28. 【答案】B细节理解题。有第二段中的“Their life expectancy at birth in 2006 was 80.6 years, compared with 78.1 for whites, 72.9 for blacks and 77.7 years for the total population.”（2006年，他们出生时的预期寿命为80.6岁，而白人为78.1岁，黑人为72.9岁，总人口平均寿命为77.7岁。）可知80.6岁-78.1岁=2.5岁，西班牙裔预期寿命比白人的平均值长了2.5年。故选B项。
29. 【答案】A段落大意题。由第三段“The report shows that although Hispanic socioeconomic status are lower than that of whites，they have higher life expectancy at birth and at almost every age. “Mortality is closely connected with income, education and health care access,” says Elizabeth Arias, author of the report. “According to these, the Hispanic population should have a higher mortality than Whites, the same as the black population.” But in fact, they don’t. ”（报告显示，西班牙裔人口在出生时和几乎每个年龄段都有较高的预期寿命，尽管社会经济地位低于白人。该报告的作者伊丽莎白·阿里亚斯说：“死亡率与收入、教育和医疗保健机会密切相关。”“你会认为西班牙裔人口的死亡率会更高，与黑人人口一样。”）可知西班牙裔人口的死亡率会与黑人人口一样，但事实是西班牙裔人口拥有更长的寿命，报告作者也弄不明白了，可推断出第三段主要讲即使是专家也无法解释这种现象。故选A项。
30. 【答案】D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的““Solving the puzzle may help the nation deal with health care issues because Hispanics use health services less—they make fewer doctors visits and spend less time in hospitals,” Hayes Bautista says. “It’s clearly something in the Hispanic culture,” he says。“他说，“解决这个难题可能有助于国家处理医疗保健问题，因为西班牙使用医疗服务的人数较少，他们减少了看医生，减少了在医院的时间，它显然是西班牙文化中的东西”可推断，Hayes Bautista 是相信文化因素，故选D项。
31. 【答案】A 细节理解题。 文章只是说，社会地位与寿命有关，却并没有提及黑人是美国社会地位最低的，排除了B项。依据文章，更没有提及白人家庭关系的紧密程度，排除了C项。根据“Migration. The “healthy migrant effect” argues that healthy people are more likely to migrate. And when immigrants become ill, they might return home and die there.”可排除D。根据倒数第三段Culture and lifestyle中的表述，可知A项正确。故选A项。
D
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。在校学习成绩好可以和未来的成功画等号吗?其实学校中的常胜将军往往并非人生赢家.反之亦然。
32. 【答案】 D事实细节题。 根据第二段第一句“ whether you’ re good or not at school very much depends on the teachers’ expectations＂(你是否是一个好学生很大程度上取决于老师的期望。)可知A项错误。根据文章第一句＂ When we were small，we were taught that if we wanted to be successful。＂(小时候，有人教导我们要想成功，就要学习成绩好。)和第二句中 but in reality表的转折可知，说明事实并非如第一句所说，所以B项错误。第二段第二句“ there are many aspects to take care of aside from the school subjects提到除了学校科目外，还有很多方面需要考虑，并不表示学校的科目不重要，所以C项错误。根据第一段最后一句＂ The answer is that what you need for a good and successful life is not really learned at school＂可知选项D正确。故选D项。
33. 【答案】B词义猜测题。 根据第三段第二句可知，据统计，学习成绩不好的人照样可以获得成功，并以苹果公司创始人史蒂夫·乔布斯、英国维珍集团创始人理查德·布兰森和美国电视脱口秀主持人奥普拉・温弗莉等各界名人为例来说明，紧接着的一句“ In fact，there are a lot more than just the “ big shots” who are successful in life without completing school.(事实上，不仅仅是这些 ……没有完成学业但是在生活中获得了成功。)”。由此可知 shots指的是“重要人物;有影响力的人物”.
34. 【答案】D推理判断题。 由文章最后一段中＂ If you are a parent or a teacher，don’ t just focus on the grades the children get. Try to discover their potentials and make the most of their talents. That’s how they build confidence and eventually lead a successful life”可知，作者希望父母或老师不要一味关注孩子的学习成绩，而应该发现他们的潜力，释放他们的才能。故选D项。
35. 【答案】C主旨大意题。 文章第一段中“ But in reality， the good boys and good girls may just end up doing a job they are not fond of.” 这句话是文章主题句，指出学校中的常胜将军往往并非人生赢家。文章字里行间也多次表明这一观点。如文章第三段第一句 “Doing good at school differs from doing good in life”再次点明文章主题，故选C项。

【37题详解】上文But as the world is not simple, this means that your brain has to take shortcuts and make a lot of assumptions.说但世界并不简单，这意味着你的大脑不得不走捷径，做出很多假设。该空承接上文，举例说明“大脑如何走捷径，做出假设”，D选项“你的大脑有选择地处理对你来说很重要的细节”切题，故选D。

Paragraph 1
However, Mom was still reading and said nothing. Arthur wasn’t sure if she had heard him or not so he called for help again, but still Mom didn’t come. Then Arthur realized maybe it was he that could solve his problem at that very moment. He quietly picked up the toy train and put it in the box. It only took a minute for him to put the toy away, and now he wouldn’t have to worry about hurting his feet again.
Paragraph 2
“Mom?” said Arthur. “Tomorrow can you show me how to do the laundry so I can wash my socks?” “Of course,” said Mom. “It’s nice to see you begin to learn to take care of yourself. I am always here to do whatever I can to help you become a more independent boy.” Arthur felt better. He didn’t want to wait until the next laundry day to have clean socks again. Maybe being neat wasn’t so hard after all.

温馨提示: 答案只是个参考，只要学生能抓住线索——从主人公不收拾房间，一直是妈妈收拾，到妈妈忍无可忍决定给他一次教训再到他自食其果，反思到自己的坏习惯，改正习惯。只要考生能大致不偏离主题，自圆其说，语言表达地道通顺，这样的续写都是可取的
