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，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
China is a big country, and there is no simple answer to the question “When is the best time to visit China?” There are two best times to visit China, depending on your preference.
October
Things to do： hike on the Great Wall, photography tour
Places to visit： Beijing, Xi'an, Shanghai, Guilin, Jiuzhaigou, Chengdu
The best time to go to China is early autumn (October).
Most of China has warm temperatures, and the summer rains have stopped (apart from around HongKong and Sanya ) so it's pretty dry. The autumnn colours are also amazing. It is quiet at tourist attractions for most of the month, as the summer holiday travel crowds have gone. But try to avoid October 1st —7th, which is the Chinese National Day holiday, as attractions, transport and hotels are packed with Chinese tourists and prices go up a lot.
Late Spring (April to May)
Things to do： appreciate flowers, Li River cruise, ethnic festivals Places to visit： Beijing, Xi'an, Guilin, Huangshan, GuiZhou, Zhangjiajie The second-best time to travel to China is probably in April and May, when the flowers are in bloom and the temperatures are warming up. In late spring, temperatures across China are getting into the 20s (°C) , except the extreme northwest and northeast. While the North of China is still dry, the summer rains have already begun in the South. This could actually improve the view in the form of mountain fog in mountainous areas like the Li River and the Yellow Mountains.
Ethnic festivals in GuiZhou are concentrated in April and May, such as the Sisters' Meal Festival. If you are interested in Miao and Dong ethnic cultures, this is a good time to visit.
Travel prices are average ： cheaper than June to October, but more expensive than the lower season from November to March.
21. Which time is best if you want to attend the ethnic festivals in GuiZhou?
A. April 25th. B. June 17th. C. October 1st. D. November 9th.
22. Which are the best places to visit in both October and late spring?
A. Beijing and Zhangjiajie. B. Shanghai and GuiZhou.
C. Xi'an and Guilin. D. Huangshan and Jiuzhaigou.
23. Why is late spring the best time to visit Huangshan?
A. Because the summer rains haven't come yet.
B. Because the wet weather adds to its beauty.
C. Because there are several special festivals there.
D. Because the prices are the lowest of the year.
B
On a recent night, while I was busy thinking about important social issues, like what to do over the week-end and who to do it with, I overheard my parents talking about my future. My dad was upset—not the usual stuff that he and Mom and, I guess, a lot of parents worry about like which college I'm going to, how far away it is from home. Instead, he was upset about the world his generation is turning over to mine, a world he fears has a dark and difficult future if it has a future at all.
“There will be a disease that kills millions, a disastrous energy crisis, a horrible worldwide depression and a nuclear explosion set off in anger.”
As I lay on the living room couch, listening to their conversation, starting to worry about the future my father was describing, I found myself looking at some old family photos. There was a picture of my grandfather who was a member of the class of 1942, the war class. Next to his picture were photos of my great—grandparents. Seeing those pictures made me feel a lot better. I believe tomorrow will be better than today that the world my generation grows into is going to get better, not worse. Those pictures helped me understand why.
I considered some of the awful things my grandparents and great—grandparents had seen in their lifetimes ： two world wars, killer flu, segregation（隔离）,a nuclear bomb. But they saw other things, too, better things ： the end of two world wars, passage of the civil rights laws.
I believe that my generation will see better things, too that we will witness the
time when AIDS is cured and cancer is defeated. I will see things as incredible to me today as the internet to my father when he was 16.
24. Why was the author's dad upset on a recent night?
A. He was upset about which college for the author to go to.
B. He was upset that the college is too far from the author's home.
C. He was worried about his dark and difficult future coming soon.
D. What upset him is whether there is a future for the author's generation.
25. What was the author's first reaction to his father's worry?
A. Indifferent. B. Optimistic. C. Worried. D. Sensitive.
26. What did those photos make the author understand?
A. The world was full of terrible things that could not be solved.
B. Though the world was full of terrible things, it would get better.
C. All those terrible things that worried the author actually didn't exist.
D. Those pictures showed that people never worried about their future.
27. What is the best title of the article?
A. Never worry about your future B. Tomorrow will be better than today
C. The world will never be peaceful D. All that exists will come to an end
C
The average American checks his/her smart phone once every six and a half minutes, or roughly 150 times each day. You probably do this without even thinking about it. This can influence how well we focus, and the degree to which we can have meaningful social communications, especially if we're constantly interrupting ourselves with technology. This is a growing problem more so for younger people. However, some people might be more immune to this constant interruption. Many older adults may have not developed these “checking“ habits, and are more focused on the present.
In our rapidly changing world, we value speed and efficiency（效率），However, there's something to be gained by being slow. When I first started giving presentations to large audiences, I was a rapid communicator. With my mind racing a mile a minute, I tried to say everything I knew about a topic to be thorough, but I noticed the crowd didn't follow. Now, I have only one note to myself that I need as a reminder before beginning a presentation： "PAUSE", I'll set aside more time for questions and get
more audience participation to assess the level in which my message has been understood. With pauses and the right speed, clear message appears, often with fewer words.
There is another chance to slow down. Slowing down can make you more aware of the Simple dangers of walking and falling. Falls can be one major cause of hurts and deaths in old age. Thus, taking time to walk down steps, avoiding a tripping（绊 倒）danger or being aware of slippery surfaces is important at any age.
Today, there're parts of our life that stress the benefits of being slow. And as we age, we might see the benefits of slowing down a little bit. While we often seek to prevent the process of aging, one necessity and potential benefit of aging may be to appreciate the benefits of slowing, enjoy the here and now a little bit more, and not to worry so much about the future.
28. How does technology affect younger people according to the author?
A. It improves their communication skills.
B. It makes their life pace much faster.
C. It helps them form a number of good habits.
D. It causes destructive harms to their memory.
29. What made the author change his/her speech style?
A. His/Her high—speed thinking ability.
B. His/Her fast—changing speech topics.
C. The audiences^ not participating.
D. The audiences^ not understanding him/her.
30. Where can you find the potential opinion that slowing down helps to avoid physical dangers?
A. In paragraph 1. B. In paragraph 2.
C. In paragraph 3. D. In paragraph 4.
31. What is suggested in the last paragraph?
A. Good things are worth appreciating slowly.
B. Being slow is becoming a popular lifestyle.
C. Few people know how to enjoy being slow.
D. The old tend to enjoy the benefit of slowing more.
D
Last summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer （扫盲志愿者）. The training I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other people' s lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.
My first student Marie was a 44 — year - old single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn't know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she could not read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn't always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label（标识）,she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.
As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie's self-confidence, which encouraged her to continue in her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony , a shy first grader, with his reading. She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories. When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read, pride was written all over her face, and she began to see how her own hard work in learning to read paid off. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.
As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.
32. What did the author do last summer?
A. She worked in the supermarket.
B. She helped someone to learn to read.
C. She gave single mothers the help they needed.
D. She went to a training program to help a literacy volunteer.
33. Why didn't Marie go to the supermarket by bus at first?
A. Because she liked to walk to the supermarket.
B. Because she lived far away from the bus stop.
C. Because she couldn't afford the bus ticket.
D. Because she couldn't find the right bus.
34. How did Marie use to find the goods she wanted in the supermarket?
A. She knew where the goods were in the supermarket.
B. She asked others to take her to the right place.
C. She managed to find the goods by their looks.
D. She remembered the names of the goods.
35. Which of the following statements is true about Marie?
A. Marie could do things she had not been able to do before.
B. Marie was able to read stories with the help of her son.
C. Marie decided to continue her studies in school.
D. Marie paid for her own lessons.

Honesty is a vital quality of human behavior and always regarded as a virtue. Every time people refer to the topic, I would recall an unforgettable experience which had a deep impact on my growth.
I was 16 when one morning, Dad told me I could drive him to Mijas, a town 18
miles away and then take the car in a nearby garage to get it serviced. At that time, I had just passed the driving test, and I hardly had a chance to use the car, so I said yes without hesitation.
I drove my father to Mijas, promising to pick him up again at 4 pm, then I went to a nearby garage, and put the car there. Since I had several hours to spare, I decided to go to a movie theater near the garage to see a movie. However, I was so absorbed in the plot of the movie that 1 forgot the time. When the last movie finished, I looked at my watch ： 6 pm. I was two hours late!
I thought my father would be very angry if he knew what I was doing. And he would never let me drive again. So I decided to make up an excuse. Then, I drove to the appointed place, my father was sitting in a corner, waiting patiently. I first apologized for being late, then told him that I wanted to get there as soon as possible, but that something was wrong with some of the main parts of the car.
I would never forget the way he looked at me. " I’m very disappointed that you thought you had to lie to me, Jason. My father looked at me again and said, “When you didn't show up on time, I called the gas station and asked if there was anything wrong. They told me you never picked up the car. So, you see, I know there's nothing wrong with the car at all.”

第一节
Up to now I have read a lot of books, for example, magazines, novels and storybooks and so on. But one of the books that I fancy is My Life Story. It was created by an American writer --- Helen Keller in 1902, who was a blind, deaf and dumb person. In the book, she wrote that she had not been able to see, hear or speak since the age of one year and seven months, which made her very sad. At the age of seven she knew Miss Sullivan, her good teacher. Helen was getting happier every day. Then, Miss Sullivan helped her learn how to write English words. At first, Miss Sullivan wrote some words on Helen’s hands with her own fingers again and again. Helen was a very diligent girl, due to which she tried as much as possible to remember words. After that, she wrote and published many famous works. My Life Story is one of them.
My Life Story described her hard struggle to become an outstanding writer and educationalist of the world. It shows us a universal truth: “Nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it!” This is why I like it.
第二节
Paragraph 1:
A wave of guilt swept over me. I had to admit the fact that I had gone to the movies and that was the real reason why I was late. Dad listened carefully as a sadness passed through him，“I'm angry, not with you but with myself. You see. I realize that I have failed as a father if after all these years you feel that you have to lie to me. I have failed because I have brought up a son who cannot even tell the truth to his own father.
Paragraph 2:
“I’m going to walk home now and think where I have gone wrong all these years”, father said to me. “But father, it's exactly eighteen miles home from here, and it's dark. You can't walk back. ”I begged. My protests, my apologies and the rest of my words were useless. I had let my father down and I was about to learn one of the most painful lessons of my life. Dad began walking along the dusty roads. I quickly jumped in the car and followed behind. I apologized all the way, telling him how sorry I was, but he simply ignored me. For 18 miles he kept walking. Seeing my father in so much pain was the most awful experience that I have ever faced. However it was also the most successful lesson.
