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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
“Joe? Is that you?” The woman speaking to me at the baseball game looked a little familiar. “Marci?” I asked.“It is you!” she cried out, smiling broadly. “Gosh, it’s good to see you again, my dear friend!”
It was good to see Marci, too. Off and on during the past few decades, I’ve wondered about her. I almost tried to search for her a few years ago after talking to a friend who had indicated that the 1990s had been pretty rocky for Marci. So meeting her at the baseball game was really out of expectation.
We spent a few minutes talking about our lives — the good old, bad old days. Then Marci grew quiet for a moment. “You know, Joe,” she said, “I’ve always wanted to tell you ... how ... how sorry for the way I treated you. You must have been hurt both physically and mentally.” I was a little embarrassed. I turned and looked at her. “It’s OK,” I said, “No big deal!” “But I was such a jerk,” she continued. Yes, you were, I thought. “We were both pretty young,” I smiled. “I know, she said, “It’s just always bothered me, remembering how mean I was to you. And I’ve wanted to tell you that I’m sorry.”
The expression on her face was warm and sincere. And there was something in her eyes — it looked a lot like reli ef. “OK,” I said, “Apology accepted!” Overcome by the sweetness of the moment, I reached an arm around her and gave her a quick hug. Just then, the crowd erupted with a huge cheer, and Marci and I both K12的学习需要努力专业专心坚持
returned our attention to the game. By the time I looked over to where she had been, she was gone. But the warm, wonderful feeling of our brief exchange was still there, and continues to the day whenever I think about it.
It isn’t enough to just say “I’m sorry” and “you’re forgotten”. But when those words are truly felt and sincerely expressed, they can open the door to the miracles of the heart. Forgiveness can give peace to an injured soul and refresh friendship— even years after the fact, even at a baseball game.
21. What kind of life did Marci live during the late 20th century according to the passage?
A. Happy.
B. Busy.
C. Hard.
D. Simple.
22. What did Marci mean by saying “I was such a jerk” ?
A. She was just joking.
B. She was making excuses for her past behavior.
C. She thought she was careless.
D. She regretted treating the writer in a bad way.
23. Why did Marci look in relief after talking with the author?
A. Because her favorite team won the game.
B. Because she made an apology to the author.
C. Because she learned Joe was living a good life.
D. Because she found she was not mean any longer.
24. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. Miracles of Forgiveness.
B. Mental Burden of a Woman.
C. Relief of Finding a Friend.
D. Excitement of a Baseball Game.

The times are changing. On Thursday October 13th, singer-songwriter Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, marking the first time the highly-eyed-on literary award has gone to someone who is mainly seen as a musician, and giving rise to heated discussions.
The 75-year-old won the prize for having created new poetic expressions within the American song tradition,” the Swedish Academy said.“For 54 years he has been at it, reinventing him self,” said Sara Danius, the academy’s permanent secretary. “Bob Dylan writes poetry for the ear. But it’s perfectly fine to read his works as poetry.”
And while many Dylan fans have found great delight at the news, others online and in the literary community are cross with the Committee, saying the award has skipped over fiction writers for the second year. New York Times Book Review editor Pamela Paul said it was good news but pointed out how many “deserving” novelists there are.
Director Martin Scorsese put out a statement saying he was “overjoyed” that Dylan was awarded the prize. “Dylan’s poetry, his musical genius, has meant so much to me personally and to generations of people around the world, “His work has influenced and shaped culture, and he has never stopped exploring and growing as an artist. The Nobel Committee has given Dylan a form of recognition that fits his role in our culture —in world culture.”
Dylan won a Pulitzer Prize in 2008 for his “great influence on popular music and American cult ure.” He is the first American to win the literary Nobel prize since Toni Morrison in 1993.
28. Why does Bob Dylan’s winning Nobel Prize cause heated discussions?
A. He created poetic expressions.
B. He is mainly known as a musician.
C. He reinvents himself.
D. He is 75 years old.
29. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined part in Paragraph 4?
A. are worried about
B. are satisfied with
K12的学习需要努力专业专心坚持
C. are angry with
D. are thankful to
30. What can we know about Dylan according to Martin Scorsese?
A. Dylan is happy with the award.
B. Dylan benefits a lot from world culture.
C. Dylan has been recognized by the Nobel Committee just as a singer.
D. Dylan has shaped generations of people around the world.
31. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A brief introduction to Bob Dylan.
B. Different views on Bob Dylan’s award.
C. Bob Dylan’s influence on American culture.
D. The reason for Bob Dylan’s success.
D
When a leafy plant is under attack, it doesn’t sit quietly. Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds, VOCs for short.
Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked. It’s a plant’s way of crying out. But is anyone listening？Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbours react.
Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty .They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.
In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors. The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors, relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.
Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.
Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.

32. What does a plant do when it is under attack?
A. It sends out certain chemicals.
B. It gets help from other plants.
C. It stands quietly.
D. It makes noises.
33. What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3?
A. The perfumes attract natural enemies.
B. The insects gather under the table.
C. The plants get ready to fight back.
D. The attackers get attacked.
34. Scientists find from their studies that plants can .
A. predict natural disasters
B. talk to one another intentionally
C. protect themselves against insects
D. help their neighbors when necessary
35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The word is changing faster than ever.
B. People have stronger senses than before.
C. The world is more complex than it seems.
D. People in Darwin’s time were imaginative.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10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。
Every culture has its own unwritten list of behavior that is acceptable. Every society also has its taboos, or types of behavior that are considered a violation of good manners.
The word taboo comes from the Tongan language and is used in modern English to describe verbal and nonverbal behavior that is forbidden or to be avoided. 36 They tend to be specific to a culture or country, and usually form around a group’s values and beliefs. What is considered acceptable behavior in one country may be a serious taboo in another.
Verbal taboos usually involve topics that people believe are too private to talk about publicly, or relate to one’s manner of speaking. In many cultures, for example, it is considered bad manners to discuss subjects such as sex or religion in pu blic. In some countries, the volume of one’s voice may annoy people. 37
38 For example, one of the biggest differences among many Western, Asian, and African cultures is the use of eye contact. In the US, people make eye contact when they talk to others. 39 In many Asian and African cultures, K12的学习需要努力专业专心坚持
however, children are taught to lower their eyes when talking to their elders, or those of higher rank, as a way to show respect.
Certain gestures made with the hands can have very different meanings depending on the country you are in. Crossing your middle finger over your forefinger is the sign for good luck in many western countries. 40 Also, in some Asian countries, moving your hands a lot while talking, or ‘talking with your hands’, is considered unsuitable.
Behavior that is acceptable and non-offensive in one culture can be highly offensive in another. When visiting a foreign country, be aware of some of the basic differences, as this will help to ensure a more enjoyable trip.
A．If a person avoids eye contact, others might think they are being dishonest or unconfident.
B．Cancer is a taboo subject and people are frightened to talk openly about it.
C．In Vietnam and Argentina, however, it is a rude gesture.
D．Nonverbal taboos usually relate to body language.
E．Learn a country’s customs so that you don’t hurt the local people unconsciously.
F．They might think that someone who is speaking or laughing loudly is rude or aggressive.
G．In spite of what some people may think, taboos are not universal.

作文参考范文：
Dear Classmates,
I think it is very necessary for us to talk about friendship at the meeting today.
As a member of society, it’s important for teenagers and adults to have a friendship because everyone needs others from time to time. Having friends is
similar to having family. They are people that you can count on in your greatest time of need. They can help you in times of trouble, and be there to enjoy and share in the great parts of your life. Healthy friendship may help people get on well and benefit one another. On the contrary, unhealthy friendship may bring about bad things. For example, some so-called friends bully others in the school; they often smoke or drink together; they never point out each other’s mistakes. Such deeds are against school rules. In fact, they are doing harm to their friends.
In my opinion, friendship should be based on the love of our class. Friends should help each other with study or in making progress. What’s more, we should encourage each other and shouldn’t cover up each other’s mistakes, so that we may learn well and achieve great success.
