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、D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.

The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品杂货),saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.

I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, and then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.

People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.

21. Why was the bike so important to the couple?

A. The man?s job was bike racing.

B. It was their only possession.

C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.

D. They used it for work and daily life.

22. We can infer from the text that ________.

A. the couple worked 60 hours a week

B. people were busy before Christmas

C. the stranger brought over the bike

D. life was hard for the young family

23. How did people get to know the couple?s problem?

A. From radio broadcasts.

B. From a newspaper.

C. From TV news.

D. From a stranger.

24. What do the couple learn from their experience?

A. Strangers are usually of little help.

B. One should take care of their bike.

C. News reports make people famous.

D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.

B

A new word has suddenly become wildly popular in China—“tuhao”—which loosely means “nouveau riche”. There have been more than 100 million references to the word “tuhao” on social media since early September.

It?s being u sed to describe everything from the new p eople?s daily building, to expensive celebrity weddings full of millionaires, and the new gold-colored iPhone.

In Chinese “tu” means earth and “hao” means rich. To say someone is tuhao is to imply they come from a poor peasant background, and have made it rich quickly—but don?t quite have the manners to go along with it. “It?s like the term …nouveau riche?”, says Professor Steve Tsang at the School of Contemporary Chinese Studies in Nottingham, “but has even more negative meanings, suggesting a certain vulgarity(粗俗).”

“Tuhao” is actually an old word, dating back perhaps as far as the Southern Dynasty—1,500 years ago, but it has always meant something rather different. During the communist revolution, from the 1920s to early 1950s, it was widely used to refer to landholders and gentry(乡绅)who would often do bad things to those beneath them.

This new usage of the term took off in September after a widely-shared joke about a rich, but unhappy man, who goes to a Buddhist monk for advice, expecting to be told to live a more simple life. The monk replies instead with a sentence, “Tuhao, let?s be friends!”

Chinese Internet users are highly creative in their use of language, and are constantly inventing, and re-inventing words as a way of getting past censorship(审查) rules. But in this case, its popularity seems to be down to the fact that it expresses China?s changing society so well—many people sneer at those with wealth, but are secretly jealous.

25. What is the best title of the passage?

A. Tuhao, a newly popular word in China

B. The long history of Tuhao

C. The new usage of Tuhao

D. Tuhao, a newly-invented Chinese word

26. Which of the following may NOT be considered “tuhao”?

A. A vulgar nouveau riche.

B. A landholder.

C. A quick-rich peasant without proper manners.

D. A Buddhist monk.

27. The last but one paragraph mainly tells us ________.

A. what the new usage of the word is

B. how the word becomes popular again

C. why the unhappy man went to the Buddhist monk

D. what advice the monk gave the unhappy man

28. What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean?

A. Respect.

B. Envy.

C. Laugh.

D. Disbelieve.

C

No one can fail to stand in awed (令人敬畏的) admiration of the great discoveries of history—Newton?s laws of motion, Kepler?s principle of planetary movement, Einstein?s general theory of relativity. Equally awe-inspiring are artistic creations in painting, theatre, music, and literature, which have also been brought about by discovery through personal efforts. What do

these extraordinary achievements of well-known scientists and artists have to do with problem solving?

A great scientific discovery or a great work of art is surely the result of problem-solving activity. The solution to a problem, we are told, often comes to thinkers in a “flash of insight (顿悟)”, although they may have been turning the problem over in their minds for some time. As a particular form of problem solving, these creative acts are based on the broad knowledge gained in the past, whether this is of the “public” sort known to science, or of the “private” sort known to the artist.

Many creative thinkers state that they have completely devoted themselves to the subject matter of the problem, often over fairly long periods of time. Indeed, it would be strange if they had not done this. Nothing in such statements supports the idea that there is anything very different about the problem solving that leads to discoveries of the great contributions to the society. The act of discovery, even in the relatively predictable sense that it occurs in everyday learning, involves a “sudden insight” which changes the problem situation into a solution situation. As we have seen, everyday discovery also requires that the learner have the knowledge of the rules gained in the past, which is involved in the solution.

29. Newton, Kepler and Einstein are mentioned in the first paragraph to ________.

A. bring about the subject of the discussion

B. explain that scientists are more creative

C. show the difference between science and arts

D. prove that arts require more personal efforts

30. While knowledge from the past plays an important role in their achievements, thinkers sometimes also depend on their ________.

A. artistic tastes

B. sudden insight

C. admiration of discoveries

D. scientific experiments

31. What does the underlined word “this” refer to?

A. Great contributions to the society.

B. Long-time study of the subject matter.

C. Various statements about problem solving.

D. Complete devotion to artistic creation.

32. We may conclude from the passage that ________.

A. it is more likely to make scientific and artistic discoveries in everyday learning

B. scientific discoveries or artistic creations are usually unpredictable in nature

C. a sudden insight and knowledge from the past are required in making discoveries

D. knowledge of the rule in the past is often developed in the changes of situation

D

People have been dreaming up horrible monsters and scary spirits for centuries. The vampire, an “undead” creature thirsty for blood, is one of the most inventive and attractive creatures of all. It?s also one of the most lasting. Vampire-like creatures date back to thousands of years ago, and pop up in dozens of different cultures.

In this article, we?ll see where the various elements of the vampire legend come from. We?ll also look at the psychological significance of these creatures and find out about some real-life people or things that are remarkably similar to the supernatural vampire.

The vampires in today?s books, movies and television shows are incredibly complicated creatures. According to the mythology(神话), every vampire was once a human, who, after being bitten by a vampire, died and rose from the grave as a monster. Vampires desire the blood of the living, whom they hunt during the night. They bite their victims? necks with their two sharp front teeth.

Since they?re back-to-life corpses—the living remains of a dead person—vampires are often referred to as “the undead”. They can still pass as healthy humans, however, and will walk undetected among the living. In fact, vampires may be attractive, highly sexual beings, seducing(引诱)their prey before feeding. A vampire may also take the form of an animal, usually a bat or wolf, in order to launch a sudden attack on a victim before being detected.

Vampires are potentially immortal(不死的), but they do have a few weaknesses. They can be destroyed by a fire or direct sunlight, and they are afraid of holy water and garlic. Vampires don?t cast a reflection, and they have superhuman strength.

This vampire figure, with its particular combination of characteristics and governing rules, is actually a fairly recent invention. Bram Stoker made it up in his l897 novel Dracula. Other authors reinterpreted(重新解释) Dracula in a number of plays, movies and books.

But while the many details are new, most of the individual elements of the legend have deep roots, extending across many regions and cultures. In the next few sections, we?ll…

33. From the first two paragraphs, we can know that ________.

A. vampire stories only exist in European cultures

B. vampires will die in 3 days without drinking blood

C. vampire stories have existed since a long time ago

D. vampires actually exist in real life

34. According to the passage, which of the following best matches the image of a vampire?

A. a wolf standing still by the lake staring at its own reflection in the water

B. a strong man with sunglasses sunbathing on the beach

C. a lonely old man sitting by the campfire crushing garlic

D. a sexy young woman dressed in a long skirt sipping wine in a night club

35. The underlined sentence of the last paragraph is not complete. Which of the following should be the missing part?

A. try to find out more about the eating habits of vampires

B. look at some of more famous vampire ancestors

C. read some romantic love stories in which vampires fall in love with humans

D. start a tour exploring some of the best vampire films of all time

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的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。,选项中有两项为多余选项。

Everyone sleeps. However, taking the time to develop a sleep habit is probably the last thing on your mind and some sleep advice simply can?t be forgotten. 36 .

Watching TV until you fall asleep

It has nothing to do with what you watch—TV news isn?t a better pre-sleep choice than TV series. 37 . The bright light keeps you awake all the night. So even if you nod off (in front of

the TV, for example), you probably won?t stay asleep for long.

Sleeping with pets

38 . They get comfortable, and then they move. This goes on all night, and whether you admit it or not, it interrupts your ability to get the level of sleep needed to feel rested.

Eating fatty, heavy foods too close to bedtime

Heartburn (烧心,胃痛) strikes anyone of any age, but it?s the most common GI disorder in older adults. If you?ve ever tried to go to sleep after eating a fatty meal, you?ve probably found the discomfort of stomach preventing you from falling asleep or staying asleep.

39 .

Remember how poorly you sleep when you have a fever—turning over and over again, never really feeling rested? Well, heavy exercise too close to bedtime has the same effect—it raises your body temperature so that your sleep is disturbed until your body temperature drops to normal, which may take several hours.

Accepting snoring (打呼噜) as normal sleep behavior

Snoring may seem as common as breathing, but it?s considered the biggest sleep killer, and it?s linked to several causes: sleeping on your back, being overweight, having a cold, drinking, or taking drugs. 40 . For the snorer, it disturbs sleep by awakening him/her every so often in order to breathe normally. For the partner, the noise can be unbearable.

A. Exercising heavily too close to bedtime

B. Here are some suggestions you?ll need to follow

C. Reducing your body temperature before bedtime

D. Rather it?s the TV?s bright light that is the criminal

E. Here are some bad habits you need to get rid of

F. Most seriously, it?s caused by a dangerous illness

G. Pets sleep most of the day, and they move a lot when sleeping

写作范文

Dear Tom,

How is everything going? High school students are faced with a choice between arts and science. It was not an easy choice for me to make. After careful consideration, though, I decided on science as my main subject of study. The reasons are as follows.

First, science graduates are in greater demand than arts ones in China. Second, the science major can help me achieve my childhood dream of becoming a scientist. Third, my parents wish me to study science at college because they believe I will have a brighter future as a science student. Last but not least, my physics teacher is my role model, whose influence on me had a lot to do with my decision. It is for these reasons that I finally made my choice.

Which choice will you make?

I am looking forward to your reply.

Dear Tom,

How is everything going? High school students are faced with a choice between arts and science. It was not an easy choice for me to make. After careful consideration, though, I decided on arts as my main subject of study. The reasons are as follows.

First, the number of arts graduates is much smaller than that of science ones, which means there will be more jobs available to arts graduates. Second, the arts major can help me achieve my childhood dream of becoming a reporter. Third, my parents wish me to study arts at college because they believe I will have a brighter future as an arts student. Last but not least, my English teacher is my role model, whose influence on me had a lot to do with my decision. It is for these reasons that I finally made my choice.

Which choice will you make?

I am looking forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely,

期中英语考试卷及答案

英语期中考试试卷 Part I Reading Comprehension (10×4 = 40) Passage One Television has opened windows in everybody's life. Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914. Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen. Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and her the politicians before tan election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count. Unfortunately, television's influence has been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. All educators agree that the "television generations" are more violent than their parents and grandparents. Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures; to read a book that requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesn't do funny things like the people on children's programs. And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. That's the time it takes on the screen. 1. In the past, many young people ______. A) knew the effects of war B) went in for politics C) liked to save the wounded in wars D) were willing to be soldiers 2. Now with TV people can ________. A) discuss politics at an information center B) show more interest in politics C) make their own decisions on political affairs D) express their opinions freely 3. The author thinks that TV advertisements ______. A) are not reliable on the whole B) are useless to people C) are a good guide to adults D) are very harmful to the young 4.
