     Seal Island is a 200-meter long island in South Africa, which is surrounded by 55 to 57 degrees Fahrenheit waters and covered with over 60, 000 seals and some birds. This island has been home to many birds and seals. You may think this island is a paradise. In fact, the island is not famous for the seals or birds. However, the real stars are the great white sharks that leap out of the water to catch the seals they are hunting.
    You may think that there is no way for a 15-foot long,3, 000-pound shark to hurl its body out of the water and catch a seal in midair. Actually, these sharks are called "Air Jaws".
    Over the years, the seals have gotten smarter. Now, they go out in groups of seven and eight to feed. They swim down on the sea floor, which gives them extra camouflage(掩饰). When they have to swim near the water surface, they swim in a zigzag(之字形的) pattern. But with all these tricks, they can still be outwitted(以智取胜) by the sharks. Usually, the sharks will take one seal away from its group and force it to swim on the surface, where it is easy to hunt. Sometimes, the seal is lucky and gets away, but most of them die in the process of trying to survive.
    Every year, tourists go to see these amazing animals leap out of the water, sometimes flinging(抛) their whole bodies into the air when they want to catch the seals. Some people even want to go into shark cages to see the action from below! This is the reason why this island attracts thousands of tourists around the world every year.
8. What probably makes Seal Island famous?
A. The large number of seals in the water.
B. The way the great white sharks hunt.
C. The beautiful scenery of the island.
D. The special position of the island.
9. Why do the seals swim in a zigzag pattern?
A. To save energy. B. To warm themselves.
C. To look for food. D. To avoid the white sharks.
10. We can infer from the third paragraph that ______.
A. white sharks are dangerous animals
B. the seals are cleverer than the white sharks
C. the sharks are successful in hunting the seals
D. it is easier for the sharks to hunt the seals on the sea floor
11. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?
A. To explain why Seal Island is famous.
B. To show how white sharks hunt seals.
C. To advise us to visit Seal Island.
D. To ask us to protect animals.
D
International Women's Day takes place every year on 8 March to celebrate the achievements of women all over the world.It started with a protest（抗议） that took place in New York City in 1908 where women went out onto the streets to demand（要求）the right to vote,shorter working hours and better pay.Since then it has taken many forms and today it's a global event.In some countries,March 8 is an official holiday and in other countries it's an official holiday but only for women.
In today's world it may appear that women have all the same opportunities as men.If you watch the news you will see women astronauts and women leaders in business.However,if you look at the statistics（数据）you will realize things are different.The BBC did a report a few years ago that showed that in the UK women occupied（占据）only 30.9%of the most senior positions across some jobs in areas like politics,business and policing.So,although progress has been made since 1908，there is still a lot to do before we see an equal number of men and women in the top jobs and receiving equal pay.
A lot of special events take place in towns and cities all over the U K to celebrate International Women's Day.They are designed to celebrate the role of women in society and to make us think about the progress that has been made,but also about the changes that still need to take place to ensure the world is a fair and equal place for all its citizens.
Can you imagine a future when there's no need at all to have an International Women's Day or there is total equality for men and women？Hmmm .….something to think about but perhaps in your lifetime this could happen! ？
12. Why did women organize a protest in 1908？ ______
A. They were not fairly treated.
B. They wanted to get freedom.
C. They were not permitted to work.
D. They wanted to have a festival for women.
13. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about？ ______
A. Women can do any job that men do.
B. Women have all the same opportunities as men.
C. One third of the top jobs are occupied by women.
D. There's stíll a long way to go for women to get full equality.
14. What's the main purpose of holding special events in the UK？ ______
A. To help women gain more rights.
B. To celebrate women's achievements.
C. To ensure women can have a happier festival.
D. To make the world an equal place for its citizens.
15. What opinion does the author hold according to the last paragraph？ ______
A. International Women's Day needn't exist.
B. Women will enjoy true equality in the future.
C. We should work for the full equality for women.
D. Total equality for men and women is perhaps a dream.

38. Jenny was the only child in her home. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.
She couldn't help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not even possible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, "Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles？
"Oh, yes…， but I don't have money on me…" she replied.
"That's nothing. I'll treat you today," said the man. "Come in."
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive.
As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
"What is it？" asked the man kindly.
"Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!" said Jenny as she wiped her tears. "Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother, drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!!"
Hearing the words, the seller smiled, "Girl, do you really think so？ I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you？ Have you expressed your gratitude to her？"
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock？ she remembered Mother's familiar face and weathered hands. "Why did I not think of that？ A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me."
On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Approaching, the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath.__________.
A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back.__________.

8~11.【答案】B、D、C、A
【解析】【文章大意】本文是说明文。作者向我们介绍了位于南非的Seal Island。在这个岛周边的水域大白鲨常常跳出水面猎食海豹，这一景象吸引了许多游客前去观看。
1. 
细节理解题。根据第一段的In fact, the island is not famous for the seals or birds. However, the real stars are the great white sharks that leap out of the water to catch the seals they are hunting.事实上，这个岛屿并不以海豹或鸟类而闻名。然而，真正的明星是巨大的白鲨，它们跳出水面捕捉它们正在捕猎的海豹。可知，大白鲨捕猎的方式使海豹岛闻名。故选B。
2. 第三段列举了海豹躲避大白鲨的方法。根据第三段的When they have to swim near the water surface, they swim in a zigzag(之字形的) pattern.当它们不得不在水面附近游泳时，它们以“之”字形游动。可知，海豹以“之”字形模式游动是为了避免大白鲨。故选D。
3. 
根据第三段But with all these tricks, they can still be outwitted(以智取胜) by the sharks. Usually, the sharks will take one seal away from its group and force it to swim on the surface, where it is easy to hunt.但是有了这些招数，它们还是可以被鲨鱼聪明地打败。通常，鲨鱼会把一只海豹从它的群体中带走，并强迫它在水面上游泳，在那里它很容易捕食。可知，鲨鱼成功地捕杀了海豹。故选C。
4. 
通过文章第一段的In fact, the island is not famous for the seals or birds. However, the real stars are the great white sharks（事实上，这个岛屿并不以海豹或鸟类而闻名。然而，真正的明星是巨大的白鲨）以及最后一段的This is the reason why this island attracts thousands of tourists around the world every year.（这就是为什么这个岛每年吸引着全世界成千上万的游客的原因。）可知，这篇文章主要向我们介绍了Seal Island出名的原因。故选A。


12~15.【答案】A、D、D、B
【解析】（1）A.细节理解题。根据第一段开头International Women's Day takes place every year on 8 March to celebrate the achievements of women all over the world.It started with a protest that took place in New York City in 1908 where women went out onto the streets to demand the right to vote,shorter working hours and better pay.（每年的3月8日是国际妇女节，庆祝全世界妇女取得的成就。它始于1908年发生在纽约市的一场抗议活动，妇女们走上街头，要求获得投票权、缩短工作时间和提高工资。）可知，妇女在1908年组织抗议活动是因为她们没有获得与男人们一样的公平的对待。故选A。
（2）D.段落大意题。根据第二段中However,if you look at the statistics you will realize things are different.The BBC did a report a few years ago that showed that in the UK women occupied only 30.9%of the most senior positions across some jobs in areas like politics,business and policing.So,although progress has been made since 1908，there is still a lot to do before we see an equal number of men and women in the top jobs and receiving equal pay.（然而，如果你看看统计数据，你会意识到事情是不同的。英国广播公司（BBC）几年前的一份报告显示，在英国，在政治、商业和警察等领域的一些最高层职位中，女性只占30.9%。因此，尽管自1908年以来已经取得了一些进展，但在我们看到男性和女性担任高级职位并获得同等薪酬之前，还有很多工作要做。）可知，该段主要讲述现在女性似乎获得了一些与男性同等的机会，但要获得完全的平等还有很长的路要走。故选D。
（3）D.目的意图题。根据第三段中They are designed to celebrate the role of women in society and to make us think about the progress that has been made,but also about the changes that still need to take place to ensure the world is a fair and equal place for all its citizens.（这些活动旨在颂扬女性在社会中的作用，让我们思考已经取得的进步，也让我们思考仍然需要进行的变革，以确保世界对所有公民都是一个公平和平等的地方。）可知，在英国举办特别活动的主要目的是促使世人变革想法，使世界成为公民公平和平等的地方。故选D。
（4）B.观点态度题。根据最后一段Can you imagine a future when there's no need at all to have an International Women's Day or there is total equality for men and women？（你能想象这样一个未来吗？国际妇女节根本没有必要，男女完全平等。）可推断，作者认为将来国际妇女节没有必要存在，因为那个时候实现了男女的真正平等。所以B选项Women will enjoy true equality in the future（未来妇女将享有真正的平等）符合作者观点。故选 B。
本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了3月8日是国际妇女节的由来以及女性在当今社会的地位现状，认为将来男女将实现真正的平等。
阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释。考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点。
