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）
阅读下面四篇短文，从每小题后所给的 A BCD 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Running, as most of you already know, is a sport that all sorts of people love. Running a marathon is also something that many long-distance runners have as a goal. Now if you decide you want to train for a marathon, how do you go about getting yourself into excellent shape for the race of your life?
Most marathon training schedules last around 20 weeks and are designed for runners who can run 4-5 days per week. The secret of a successful training schedule lies in avoiding injury that can happen through pushing yourself too fast or too hard. So, the idea is to increase your mileage gradually from, let's say,20 miles per week up to runs of 50 miles per week at some point before the actual marathon. Alternate (交替) hard days with easy days: an easy day could be a day off altogether or something else like a three-mile run which, although it might
not seem to be really worth the effort to some of you, actually is a joy to do.
Be careful how you warm up and slow down, because these are the times when injuries could happen. When you set off for a run, take the first mile slowly and when you break into a sweat, stop and do some stretching exercises for a couple of minutes. Always take the last mile slowly too---if you stop suddenly after a hard run, then those of you who might have heart attacks are putting yourselves at greater risk at the point. One word of warning: don't start a training schedule without some guidance from a properly qualified trainer. He or she will be able to tell you what you're doing right or wrong! Remember that under normal circumstances, health benefits from regular running are an increased sense of energy and well being, together with fitness .
21. In the second paragraph , the writer says that ____________
A. it’s not worth doing a three-mile run.
B. there should be some easy days rather than hard days .
C. the training period should last for three weeks .
D. a short run can be a pleasant experience.
22. The most dangerous times are when you are ________
A. starting and stopping.
B. building up speed.
C. running hard
D. sweating a lot.
23. This article might be written for _________
A. people interested in taking up running.
B. young athletes
C. people already involved in running .
D. athletics trainers.
24. If you run on a regular basis, you will________
A. avoid having hear attacks
B. be able to win a marathon
C. feel better and more energetic
D. become a faster runner
B
This is a true story about a boy who, the world might say, was a terrible underachiever. While in the eighth grade, he failed subjects repeatedly. High school wasn’t much better; he flunked Latin, algebra, English, and received a grade of zero in physics. The boy managed to make the school golf team, but he lost the most important golf match of the season.
It’s not that his peers(同龄人) disliked this boy; it’s just that they never really seemed to notice him much. Even “Hellos” in the hall were a rarity. Out of all the failures in his life, there was something that did hold great importance to this boy, his love of drawing. Although in high school, the cartoons he submitted to the yearbook were rejected, once out of school, the boy was so sure of his artistic talent that he approached Walt Disney Studios with drawing works. I wish I could say the studios loved his work and immediately hired him, but such was not the case; another huge rejection.
Despite his lack of successes, this boy did not give up. He then decided to write his own autobiography in cartoons, about a little boy who was regarded as a loser and a nobody.
The name of this boy was Charles Schulz, the creator of the famous Charlie Brown and comic dog Snoopy.
In life, it is sometimes easy to feel like a nobody. We pass hundreds of people on the street on our way to work, or walk through a faceless crowd in a mall, and no one seems to notice or care. Deep inside, we may know we are special and unique and have lots to offer, but unless someone takes the time to look our way and give us a chance, we may feel worthless, just like Charlie Brown who couldn’t even manage to fly a kite or kick a football properly.
Just as Charles Schulz had faith in his artistic talent, so too, we must realize that nobody is a nobody. We all have special gifts and talents, and every human
being is deserving and capable of being loved and appreciated.
25. The underlined word “flunked” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to
________.
A. failed
B. learned
C. achieved
D. misunderstood
26. What can we infer about the boy in Paragraph 2?
A. He was hated by his peers.
B. He achieved great success in drawing in high school.
C. His work was refused by Walt Disney Studios.
D. He earned the praise from Walt Disney Studios.
27. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Nobody Is a Nobody.
B. A Hard-working Boy Is Successful.
C. We Should Turn Failure into Success.
D. One Cannot Succeed without Talents.
C
If you think English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes gray matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.
The study also found the earlier people learn a second language, the greater the effect is.
A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London(UCL), took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals(通两种语言的人)”, who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that gray matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.
“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.
It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills.
“Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,” he said, “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the earlier they started to learn, the better. “Studying a lan guage means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.
28. What does the underlined part “gray matter” (in Paragraph 2) refer to?
A. Grey hair.
B. Material of the brain.
C. Intelligence.
D. Difficult situations.
29 The experience of learning a second language can ______.
A. c hange one’s brain completely
B. improve one’s maths skills
C. make one smarter than others
D. increase the ability to learn
30. We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. the researchers from UCL did another study in Italy
B. a similar study was done on native Italian speakers who learn English as a
second language
C. the research done on the Italians showed a totally different result
D. it will be easier for one to travel around the world by learning a second
language
31. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Learning a second language can help improve your brain power.
B. You should learn a second language that is not your native language.
C. If you want to learn a second language, you should do it at a certain age.
D. The research done by the researchers from UCL is very successful.
D
Experts estimate that one out of every five fish sold was caught illegally. It threatens(威胁) food security and hurts the environment. Officials are using new observational technology to fight illegal fishing.
“Thank you for taking the time to join us here in Harwell (UK) in the Operations Center to what we call ‘Project Eyes on the Seas.’” says Tony Long, who leads the Ending Illegal Fishing program for Pew Charitable Trusts. The group created Project Eyes on the Seas. Large three-dimensional images of a globe can be seen on a video.
“It looks different from what you might expect because t his globe only shows you the boats that are coming into this system from a live automated information system or AIS.”
The screen shows 120,000 fishing boats have AIS. They are required to have the technology. But those who are fishing illegally often turn it off. The technology does not tell observers when that happens. Project Eyes on the Seas combines satellite information with secret government records on every ship’s past activities.
Mr. Long says that permits researchers to understand exactly where the fishing boats are operating. The Pew team gives the information it gathers to port officials to help them decide if they should take action against a ship. Tony Long says he would like to be able to provide port officials all over the world with clear lists. They would inform the officials about ships to inspect, ships to bar from entrance, and ships to permit entrance for trade activities.
The Pacific island nation of Palau was an early user of the technology. Palau has one of the richest fishing areas in the world. Last year, it announced a plan to ban commercial fishing in a 630,000 square kilometer area. K.B. Sakuma is a special adviser to the president of Palau. He says Palau is trying to deal with a recent increase in illegal, unsupervised（无人监管的）and unreported fishing.
“And it’s come to a head in the last year or two. From our southern island in the evening you can see on the horizon just dotted lights of these illegal fishermen that come into our waters, fill their ships with our fish, our resources, our food security...”
32. The information is collected by the Pew team so as to ________.
A. leave written records for the country only
B. help fishermen to catch more fish on the Seas
C. prevent all of the fishing practices on the Seas
D. assist port officials in deciding whether to ban a ship from fishing
33. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. The clear lists.
B. The investigators.
C. The fishing boats.
D. The Project Eyes.
34. Which of the following statements is closest in the meaning to the underlined
sentence in the last paragraph?
A. The issue is urgent.
B. The problem begins to appear.
C. The number of fishermen is increasing.
D. The head of the fishermen is coming.
35. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. When the fishermen turn off the AIS, the inspector will know the situation.
B. The special adviser to the president of Palau leads the Ending Illegal Fishing
program.
C. The new technology contributes to solving the problem of illegal fishing.
D. Commercial fishing is permitted in Palau.

The First Americans
There was a time long ago when a land bridge connected Asia and North America. The first settlers in North America crossed this land bridge from what is now Siberia to Alaska. The people who made this initial crossing were probably following the animals they used for food.
Eventually, the oceans rose and the land bridge between the continents disappeared. The settlers, who I shall call the "First Americans" , could not return to their homeland. 36
For the next few thousand years, the First Americans migrated south and east throughout North and South America. They made the journey all the way from Alaska to the southern tip of South America, a distance of more than 10,000 miles.
37
In the far north, above the Arctic Circle, the First Americans became hunters of the ocean. 38 In the brief summer, they gathered berries and other plants. In the winter, they stayed in lodges much of the time preparing for the next summer. It was a hard life, but they learned to survive in these harsh conditions.
Farther south, in what is now Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico, the First Americans became cliff dwellers (悬崖居民). They began by living in caves
that already existed in the cliffs. 39 The dwellings they constructed in many ways resembled today's apartment buildings.
40 They built a system of dams and canals so they could store and use water almost any time of the year. They were so successful that they could raise fruits and vegetables that were not found naturally in the desert.
In Mexico and South America, the First Americans founded civilizations that were among the greatest in the world. They built huge pyramids, lived in fabulous cities, and made great advances in science and mathematics long before the Europeans arrived.
A. They also discovered foods like corn and potatoes.
B. Along the way, they established many different civilizations.
C. The First Americans of the Southwest learned to irrigate the desert.
D. They would have to survive in the New World, they had discovered.
E. They built boats of animal skins and hunted or fished for their food.
F. People living near each other tended to share similar environments and customs.
G. They discovered how to add to the caves by building structures of wood and stone.
