第二部分：閱讀理解(共兩節(jié)，滿分40分)
第一節(jié) (共15小題;每小題2分，滿分30分)
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
A
"Tear'em apart ! ""Kill the fool! Murder the referee(裁判)!”
These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made, they may seem innocent enough. But let's not kid ourselves. They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed. Volumes have been wr itten about the way words affect us. It has been shown that words having certain connotation(涵義)may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior. I see the term “opponent” as one of those words. Perhaps the time has come to delete(刪除) it from sports terrors.
The dictionary meaning of the term "opponent" is "enemy"; "one who opposes your interests." Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. At such times, winning may be the most important, and every action, no matter how rude, may be considered acceptable. I remember an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player's request for a time out for a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough. The player started to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then shouted, "Are they wet enough now?"
In the heat of battle players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences(后果) that such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also seen a player reacting to his opponent's intentional and illegal blocking by deliberately(故意地) hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which goes against normal behavior.
Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated(提升)the game to the level where it belongs, thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting worl d. Replacing the term "opponent" with "associate" could be an ideal way to start.
The dictionary meaning of the term "associate" is" colleague", "friend", "companion". Think about it! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term "associate" rather than "opponent".
21. Which of the following statements best expresses the author's view?
A. Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequences.
B. The words people use can influence their behavior.
C. Unpleasant words in Sports are often used by foreign athletes.
D. Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violence on the sports field.
22. Harsh words are spoken during games because the players _______.
A. are too eager to win
B. are usually short-tempered and easily offended
C. cannot afford to be polite in fierce competition
D. treat their rivals(對(duì)手) as enemies
23. What did the handball player do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves?
A. He refused to continue the game.
B. He angrily hit the referee with a ball.
C. He claimed that the referee was unfair.
D. He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shirt.
24. The author hopes to have the current situation in sports improved by _______.
A. calling on players to use clean language on the court
B. raising the referee's sense of responsibility
C. changing the attitude of players on the sports field
D. regulating the relationship between players and referees
B
Our plan was to drive into Cambridge, catch the 7:34 train to Liverpool Street Station, then to separate and meet again for lunch. We should have arrived at Liverpool at 9:19, but due to a typical London fog, the train had to move along so slowly that it was not until 10:30 that it got there. In spite of our late arrival, Joan, my wife’s si ster, decided that she would go to see the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London while we went shopping. It was o nly after her sister had disappeared into the fog that my wife realized that we hadn’t decided where we should meet for lunch. Since I had our three tickets for the concert in my pocket, this was indeed a problem. There seemed to be nothing we could do except taking a taxi to the Tower of London, and try to find her there. Needless to say, we didn’t find her.
It was now one o’clock, and the concert began at 2:30. “Perhaps she will think of waiting outside the concert hall,” suggested my wife hopefully. By this time the fog was so thick that road traffic had to stop, and the only way to get there was by underground railway. Hand in hand we felt our way along the road to where we thought the nearest station should be. An hour later we were still trying to find it. Just as I was about to lose my temper completely when we met a blind man tapping his way confidently through the fog. With his help we found Tower Hill tube station just fifty yards down the road.
By now it was far too late even to try to get to the concert hall before the performance began at 2:30, so we decided to return to Cambridge. It took seven long hours instead of the usual two to make that journey. Nor were we able to get any food and drink on the train. Tired and hungry we finally reached home at ten, opening the door to the sound of the telephone bell. It was Joan; she had seen the Crown Jewels, had managed to get another ticket for concert, and had had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant near the hotel where she decided to stay for the night. Now she was ringing to discover whether we had had an equally successful day.
25. Why was Joan separated from her sister and her brother-in-law?
A. they could not see each other because of the fog.
B. Joan had not seen Crown Jewels.
C. They planned to do different things until lunch time.
D. The writer didn’t want to go to the concert.
26. What did the writer plan to do in the afternoon?
A. Go to the concert. B. See the Crown Jewels.
C. Return to Cambridge. D. Go shopping.
27. The reason why they didn’t all meet for lunch was that _______.
A. They lost their way in the fog
B. they forgot to make necessary arrangement
C. they waited at different places and didn’t meet each other
D. the couple couldn’t find the underground station
28. It’s quite clear that for Joan the trip to London had been ________.
A. spilt by the fog B. quite tiring
C. rather disappointing D. very enjoyable
C
The scientist from the Lockheed Space Company work in Felton, California, with the help of a computer. But the computer is placed in Sunnyside, about 80 kilometers away. What scientists input (輸入) is sent by telephone lines to the computer, and after a time, copies of the designs are needed back in Felton as quickly as possible Lockheed people have tried several ways of sending the prints, but the most effective seems to be by pigeon. Are pigeons really used to carry messages in these days? They are, and they send the prints faster and cheaper than any other way.
Human messengers are much more expensive and slower than the pigeons. The road to Felton goes through the mountains, and the driving is not easy. An electronic printout (電子打印輸出) system could do the work in Felton, but at a cost of 10 dollars a print. Pigeons carry the designs for about 1 dollar each.
Now Lockheed people have ten pigeon messengers. The pigeons do the work, and they have made Lockheed more famous. You can often read the news about pigeons in the newspapers around the world.
29. The passage is mainly about ___________________.
A. Felton, California B. the scientists
C. how to work with computers D. sending prints by pigeon
30. This story is unusual because pigeons ____________________.
A. don’t like carrying things B. are often expensive to keep
C. seem out of place in the space age D. aren’t friendly to the scientists
31. Something that’s effective ________________________.
A. usually costs more B. is something that works
C. is often unhappy D. is often done by animals
D
You surely want to take a good school yearbook photo, for you only get to do it once, and it’s what people remember you by for the whole school year. Learn how to look good and look natural in your yearbook photo with these simple tips.
1. Practice smiling in a mirror. It sounds crazy, but figuring out how to make a natural looking smile for the camera does need a little preparation. Don’t be shy! Just imagine you are in front of a camera —hold your head high, look straight into the mirror and smile. Keep practicing until you find out your most attractive smiling face.
2. Choose your color wisely. In yearbook photos, lots of people look good in darker colors because they draw attention to the face. Generally, white often isn’t the best choice because it can make your skin look a bit gray, especially if you’re pale. Besides, stay away from super(超級(jí)的)-bright colors ( bright yellow, bright blue) unless you’re really sure they make you look perfect.
3. Avoid unnecessary details. Busy patterns draw attention to themselves in yearbook photos, not to your face and smile. Save them for your everyday fashion experiments. Besides, have your clothes prepared for the day when the yearbook photo is taken. The last thing you want to do is pick out the perfect thing to wear, only to find that it’s in the laundry.
4. Avoid big changes to your appearance. Big changes may not turn out the way you hope. Leave some time to do your hair, such as combing(梳頭) it up right before the yearbook photo is taken. Don’t overdo it, since you want your hair to stay in one place and your face to draw all the attention, but go for the "less is more" approach.
32. The best title of this passage is ______.
A. How to Make Yourself Look Good
B. How to Do When Taking a School Photo
C. How to Get Ready for Your School Photo-taking
D. How to Make a Good School Photo Book
33. A bright yellow shirt is not a good choice for taking photos because _______.
A. it reflects light with the brightness
B. it makes people look gray and pale
C. it draws more attention than the face
D. it suits nobody in front of a camera
34. The underlined part "less is more" in the last paragraph means _______.
A. common hair style is more attractive than the over-done
B. simple hair style makes your face more attractive
C. spending less time on hair makes you look more attractive
D. combing the hair up right costs less time but means more
35. During the preparation for photo-taking ______.
A. a camera is needed B. clothes should be in the laundry
C. fashion should be perfectly showed D. big changes are not needed
第二節(jié) (共5小題;每小題2分，滿分10分)
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。House Sitting
In many countries of the world people do what is called house sitting. It means that if owners of the house are going away, they want someone to come into their home and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away.
In Australia, many people travel. After pe ople retire, they might buy a van and travel all over the country. 36
So if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason, they might want someone in their home to care for it and keep the gardens tidy. House sitters might have to care for pets. Also, quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yard and they need cleaning. 37 I feel it is a great way of seeing the country, because you go and stay in a new city, get to meet new people, and have time to go sightseeing in a new area.
38 There are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel, and by replying to the advertisement, you can make arrangements to go and look after their home.
There are some requirements to be a house sitter. You must be a trusted person, so that the home owner knows you will not steal anything. You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to go, so you need lots of free time. 39 You need to be good with pets, able to care for cats and dogs, or other pets they may have.
Some house sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the house owners have a short holiday. Sometimes it is for much longer. We have had one house sit for six months, while the home owner travelled to Europe.
40 Then you can travel to many different countries and stay there. One of the important things to get is references from the home owners where you have stayed. A reference is a written letter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their home well. You can show these letters to possible house sitting jobs and they know you will do a good job.
A. I have done house sitting many times.
B. Thousands of people do this all the time.
C. It is also possible to do house sitting in other countries.
D. Generally you have many opportunities to get a house sitting job.
E. You must take a little care over what your description says about you.
F. This is an international house sitting service for all city and country areas.
G. You must have a good car, so you can travel to different parts of the country.

Finally, I was improving and soon I went home. My leg was still swollen, 59 I was walking, and I had my foot! When I would go back to the hospital, I often saw my friend. She was still visiting people and 60 good cheer. I thought if ever there was an angel on this earth, it had to be her.

All parents wish their children, especially senior high students, can go to top universities and have a bright future. So they always expects their children to make fully use of their time to study. They don’t allow them watch TV, play computer games or go out to play with their friends. Some students just complained that their parents are only concerned about their grades but not their other need.
To my opinion, how our parents are doing is out of nothing but the love. The mos t important thing, I think, is that they should learn to communicate with our parents, telling them that we’ll never let them down and will work harder to earn trust and respect from them.

Dear Mary,
We hear that you’ll return to the United Kingdom on a holiday soon. All the class will miss you very much during your absence!
Firstly, I’d like to express our gratitude for your excellent teaching in our school and your care and love for our class! So we’ve decided to have a farewell party this Sunday for you. The party will start at 7:30 on Sunday evening in the classroom of Class 10, Grade III and will probably last about an hour. All of the class hope that you can come to join us singing some English songs and have a good time together. At the end of the party, the monitor will present you some flowers and gifts, which are mostly made by ourselves.
We wish you a plain journey back home! We are also expecting you to come back to China again soon.
Yours truly,

W: Do you see that boat?
M: You mean that strange-looking one?
W: Yeah. I’ve never seen one like it before. It’s too nice to be a shipping boat. And it’s definitely not one of those large fishing boats. It looks like it could belong to the government.
M: Or…a very rich person. Now I know whose boat it is! I remember reading about it in the paper. It belongs to a very rich Russian man.He’s a banker. (11) He has been traveling around here in his big boat. (10)
W: So that is his boat!
M: I guess he travels around the world in it. I heard he paid 300 million dollars for it! And it costs 500 thousand dollars to fill it up with gas! (12)

M: Why not? It’s a great story! It’s very exciting.
W: That’s true…

The minds of all people are really being controlled by robots. Some other people know the truth, too. They help the man try to save the world. He fights the robots with them. (14)He becomes so powerful that he can’t get hurt…
W: Sir, I don’t think you understand. It’s a very good story. It would make a very good movie, too. The only thing is, it has already been done.
M: What do you mean?
W: Mr. Draper, you just wrote down the story for The Matrix. That movie came out years ago. It was a huge success. (15)There’s no way you haven’t heard about it.
M: Someone must have stolen my idea! (16)
Text 10 William Shakespeare is one of the world’s greatest writers. He mostly wrote plays for the theater. (17) He wrote some poems, too. Shakespeare was born in England in 1564, (18)during the time of Queen Elizabeth I. When he was older, he went to London to be an actor. But he became most famous for writing plays. In 1593, a terrible disease went through London. (19) Thousands of people got sick and died. The theaters shut their doors. (19) For a time, Shakespeare turned to writing poems instead of plays. By 1598, Shakespeare was rich and famous. Between 1600 and 1608, Shakespeare wrote some of his greatest plays. King Lear and Macbeth are two of them. Shakespeare’s friends said he was the best writer of his time. Many people now think he is one of the best writers in the English language. (20) Students often study Shakespeare’s writings in school. Shakespeare lived more than 400 years ago, but people still go to see his plays today.
