第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
While it remains debatable whether animals really feel what we call love, hate and happiness, the following might be yet more proof that humans are not the only creatures capable of emotions.
A friend in need
While some cats might spot a helpless baby chicken and think “lunch”, an orange kitten in Russia saw a friend in need of a helping paw. Baby chickens are particularly vulnerable to attacks from rats and other vermin (害兽), but this little chick stayed safe thanks to its energetic feline (猫科的) bodyguard.
We've got each other
On an island off the coast of China, a little macaque (猕猴) was seen resting its head on a dove. Having got lost, the macaque was found and taken in by the staff of an animal protection center. It soon became friends with the white dove, which had also been adopted by center staff. For two months they ate together and slept together.
Fast friends
When baby elephant Themba's mother died, the veterinary (兽医的) team at Shamwari Game Reserve in South Africa hoped another elephant would adopt the orphan, but none would feed him. The team took the baby elephant in, giving him constant care and attention, but Themba was too distressed to eat. Fearing he would starve to death, the team introduced him to a sheep called Albert, who they hoped could provide companionship for Themba. Despite some initial tension, the two quickly became inseparable and Themba finally started eating.
A strong bond
Koko the gorilla, one of the most studied primates (灵长类动物) in history, communicated in American Sign Language. Koko asked for a cat in 1984. She chose a grey kitten and called it All Ball. Koko took care of All Ball as if it were a baby gorilla, and would appear distressed when parted from it. When All Ball was hit and killed by a car, Koko was seen mourning (哀悼) the cat's death.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了友谊不分界限,动物之间也是存在友谊的。
21.Why did Themba remained hungry in the beginning? Because ________.
A.the staff members were unable to feed him
B.he didn't get on well with his new friend
C.he lost his parent and was too sad
D.he got lost from his mother
答案:C 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“When baby elephant Themba's mother died ... (当小象Themba(泰姆巴)的母亲去世时……)”和“The team took the baby elephant in, giving him constant care and attention, but Themba was too distressed to eat. (研究小组收养了小象,不断地照顾它,但Themba很伤心,吃不下东西。)”可知,因为 Themba失去了母亲,过于悲伤,所以开始它拒绝进食,一直处于饥饿状态。故选C。
22.Which of the following is mentioned?
A.Koko formed a close relationship with All Ball.
B.All Ball suffered attacks from other vermin.
C.All Ball got parted from its mother gorilla.
D.Koko liked communicating with All Ball in sign language.
答案:A 推理判断题。根据最后一段倒数第二句“Koko took care of All Ball as if it were a baby gorilla, and would appear distressed when parted from it. (Koko把All Ball当作一只大猩猩幼崽来照顾,当它离开时,它会显得很痛苦。)”可推知,Koko与All Ball之间建立了亲密的关系。故选A。
23.What do we know from the text?
A.Animals are not capable of emotions.
B.Friendship actually knows no boundaries.
C.Kittens are most likely to make friends with other animals.
D.None of the friends in the passage liked each other at first.
答案:B 推理判断题。根据对全文内容的理解并结合第一段“While it remains ... only creatures capable of emotions. (虽然关于动物是否真的能感受到我们所说的爱、恨和快乐还存在争议,但下面的研究可能进一步证明,人类并不是唯一有情感的生物。)”可推知,通过这篇文章,我们知道友谊其实是没有界限的。故选B。
B
It has become a daily routine (常规) for the students on bus No.7 in Arlington, Washington to wave to the “grandma in window”.
Every day for the past five years, you could find the old lady Louise Edlen sitting at her dining room table having breakfast as the kids were passing by. But one day in early October this year she was not found sitting in her usual place.
The kids didn't see their old friend for a few days. They got worried. Finally, they learned that she had suffered a stroke (中风). “It was kind of heartbreaking to us because she was always there in the past five years,” seventhgrader Axtin Bandewerfhorst said.
But she was upset and was obviously still thinking about the 20 boys and girls who passed by her home every day. The day after the bus driver Carol Mitzelfeld brought a bouquet of flowers from the students to Edlen, the kids looked out of the window to find a sign reading “Thank you”.
“That really made me happy,” 10thgrader Cheyanne Holt said. “It shows how much we mean to her.”
So to welcome Edlen home from the hospital, they made her a sign of their own: a photo of the kids waving from inside the bus.
“Carol told us that a lot of times she even does not remember her daughter's name, but she always remembers to wave to the kids on the bus,” Bandewerfhorst said. “That made me feel really special.”
Louise's husband, Dave Elden, said, “The students' daily move gives her something to look forward to every day.”
Elden has returned home, and is back to waving to the students every day.

24.When does the No. 7 bus pass Louise's house?

答案:A 细节理解题。根据第一段“It has become a daily routine (常规) ... the ‘grandma in window’. (在华盛顿阿灵顿的7号公交车上,向‘窗中的奶奶’挥手已经成为了学生们的日常。)”和第二段第一句“Every day for the past five years ... the kids were passing by. (过去五年里的每一天,你都能看到当孩子们经过时,路易丝·埃德伦老太太正坐在她的餐桌前吃早餐。)”可知,7路公交车在早晨经过路易丝的家。故选A。
25.Where was the sign reading “Thank you” placed?
A.In front of the hospital.
B.On the school bus.
C.At the gate of the kids' school.
D.In front of the dining room window.
答案:D 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Louise Edlen sitting at her dining room table having breakfast as the kids were passing by(当孩子们经过时,路易丝·埃德伦正坐在她的餐桌前吃早餐)”和第四段最后一句中的“the kids looked out of the window to find a sign reading ‘Thank you’(孩子们看向窗外,发现了一个写着‘谢谢你们’的牌子)”可推知,写着“谢谢”的牌子放在老奶奶以前吃早餐的餐桌窗户前面。故选D。
26.Louise felt upset in hospital because ________.
A.she forgot her daughter's name
B.the kids didn't visit her
C.she couldn't see those kids as usual
D.her illness made her suffer quite a lot
答案:C 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“But she was upset and was obviously still thinking about the 20 boys and girls who passed by her home every day. (但她很难过,显然还在想着每天从她家经过的20个男孩和女孩。)”可知,因为她不能像往常一样看那些孩子,路易丝在医院里感到难过。故选C。
27.We can learn from the text that ________.
A.the kids' daily move means a lot to Louise
B.the kids took a photo with Louise
C.Louise left hospital though she didn't recover
D.Louise knew a lot about the kids on the bus
答案:A 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“It shows how much we mean to her. (这表明我们对她有多重要。)”以及倒数第二段中的“The students' daily move gives her something to look forward to every day. (学生们每天的举动让她每天都有盼头。)”可推断出,孩子们每天的举动对露易丝来说意义重大。故选A。
C
A new study, published in The Journal of Experimental Psychology found that communication interactions that included voice, like a phone call or video chat, created stronger social bonds than communication through typing, like text messaging or email.
In the study, researchers used various experiments to gauge connectedness. In one, they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then assigned people at random to do one or the other. Although people anticipated that a phone call would be more awkward, hearing someone's voice actually made the experience better. However, people who participated in the experiment reported that they did form a significantly stronger bond with their old friend on the phone versus email, and they did not feel more awkward.
In another experiment, the researchers had strangers connected by either texting, talking over video chat, or talking using only audio. They found that both forms of voice communication—whether video or audio only—made the strangers feel significantly more connected than when they communicated via text.
Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard trained clinical psychologist based in New York City, says people tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience, as they see it as a__controlled__form__of__communication where they can “correspond information exactly in the way they intend without unexpected additions by the other person.”
Romanoff says that in reality, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the net effects of the message. Each party is more present, and therefore, able to gauge the meaning behind the content without ruminating on the endless possible meanings behind words and punctuation.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。一项研究发现,包括语音在内的交流互动,如电话或视频聊天,比打字,如短信或电子邮件,能产生更强的社会联系。文章还介绍了这项研究的开展过程以及研究发现。
28.What is the purpose of the study?
A.To encourage people to let their fingers do the talking.
B.To introduce the effects of verbal and nonverbal communications.
C.To demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of making phone calls.
D.To compare connectedness of communication through voice and typing.
答案:D 推理判断题。根据第一段“A new study, published ... like text messaging or email.(发表在《实验心理学杂志》上的一项新研究发现,包括语音在内的交流互动,如电话或视频聊天,比打字,如短信或电子邮件,能产生更强的社会联系。)”以及第二段第一句“In the study, researchers used various experiments to gauge connectedness.(在这项研究中,研究人员使用了各种实验来衡量连通性。)”可推断出,这项研究的目的是比较语音和打字沟通的连通性。故选D。
29.Which way will make you feel more connected if you miss a friend far away?
A.Typing a letter.
B.Sending an email.
C.Having a video chat.
D.Texting a message.
答案:C 推理判断题。根据第二段第二、三句“In one, they asked 200 people ... someone's voice actually made the experience better.(在一项研究中,他们让200人预测通过电子邮件或电话与老朋友重新联系是什么感觉,然后随机分配这些人去做其中之一。虽然人们认为打电话会更尴尬,但听到别人的声音实际上会让通话感觉更好。)”可推知,能听见声音的联系方式可以使双方更亲近。因此,如果你想念远方的朋友,视频聊天这种方式会让你们感觉更亲近。故选C。
30.What does “a controlled form of communication” refer to in Paragraph 4?
A.A way to talk about controlled topics.
B.A way to communicate without time limit.
C.A way to explain something without delay.
D.A way to express thoughts without being disturbed.
答案:D 指代判断题。根据画线词后文“correspond information exactly in the way they intend without unexpected additions by the other person”可知,“一种可控的交流形式”指的是一种不受干扰的表达思想的方式。故选D。
31.What advantage does making phone calls over texting?
A.Being more formal.
B.Being less awkward.
C.Being more straightforward.
D.Being less expensive.
答案:C 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Romanoff says that in reality ... meanings behind words and punctuation. (Romanoff(罗曼诺夫)说,在现实生活中,发短信会让人很难判断谈话背后的真实意思。考虑到信息的最终结果,打电话实际上更方便。每一方都在场,因此,能够衡量内容背后的意义,而不必推敲词和标点背后无数个可能的含义。)”可知,相比发短信,打电话的优势在于更直截了当。故选C。
D
It is quite apparent that competition surrounds every aspect of human life whether in the United States or the Amazon rainforest. Without it we would not have grown into primates (灵长类动物). Or we would probably still be struggling to sharpen a bronze tool while crawling around on four legs in search of meat. Without competition, Columbus wouldn't have discovered America and Edison would never have invented the light bulb.
Friendship, like all relationships between two people, involves competition. It isn't competition in a traditional sense because there are no goals to be scored and no prize. Perhaps the ecological definition—the simultaneous (同时) demand by two or more organisms for limited environmental resources, such as nutrients, living space, or light—better explains it.
As in nature, high school life is governed by a set of laws, similar to a shortened version of Darwin's theory of evolution, overpopulation, and competition. There is an abundance of high school students and to distinguish them, ranking and categorizing (分类) take place. In high school, friendships learn to coexist with competition even though at times the relationship is rough. In fact, in some circumstance, competition is too much of a burden for a friendship to bear, causing it to fall apart. College admission is the final high school objective. Four years of hard work is to achieve good grades, and a student's fate is determined not only by these achievements, but by the records of thousands of other seniors trying to achieve a similar recognition.
Nevertheless, by necessity, competition between students exists in all aspects of high school life. It sets and improves the standards in everything from sports to schoolwork. A healthy, friendly competition can have only benefits, but when it becomes too fierce, jealousy (妒忌) can tear friendships apart. Yet, despite all this, without competition, we would be lost.
篇章导读:本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了竞争推动了人类社会的发展,以及如何在竞争和友谊中寻找平衡。
32.What does the ecological definition mainly explain?
A.How to win the competition.
B.How friends compete with each other.
C.What competition exactly is.
D.What the result of competition is.
答案:C 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Perhaps the ecological definition ... better explains it.(也许生态学的定义——两个或两个以上的有机体同时对有限的环境资源(如营养、生存空间或光线)的需求——能更好地解释这一点。)”可知,生态定义主要解释了竞争是什么。故选C。
33.According to the writer, we can infer that high school students compete because ________.
A.they know the laws of nature well
B.they are divided into different groups
C.friendship is a burden for them
D.the number of them is too large
答案:D 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“There is an abundance of high school students and to distinguish them, ranking and categorizing (分类) take place.(这里有大量的高中生,为了区分他们,要对他们进行排名和分类。)”可知,造成高中生竞争的原因是高中生数量庞大。故选D。
34.Which best describes the relationship of friendship and competition?
A.Friendship is always based on competition.
B.The degree of competition is vital to friendship.
C.Competition is a result of lost friendship.
D.Competition is terribly harmful to friendships.
答案:B 推理判断题。根据最后一段倒数第二句“A healthy, friendly competition can have only benefits, but when it becomes too fierce, jealousy (妒忌) can tear friendships apart.(健康、友好的竞争只能带来好处,但当竞争变得过于激烈时,嫉妒就会使友谊破裂。)”可推知,竞争的程度对友谊至关重要。故选B。
35.What does the author think of “competition”?
A.The result of competition are out of control.
B.Competition becomes fierce in high school.
C.Competition is certain to happen at school.
D.Friendship is not as important as competition at school.
答案:C 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“Nevertheless, by necessity, competition between students exists in all aspects of high school life.(然而,学生之间的竞争必然存在于高中生活的各个方面。)”可知,作者认为,学校里肯定会有竞争。故选C。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
As parents, we must teach our children the importance and value of honesty from an early age. However, teaching our children to be honest isn't the same as teaching them to tie their shoes. __36__ Otherwise, they'll prefer to lie in order to avoid being punished.
__37__ Lying in order to receive objects or attention are two main ones. Another one is to avoid punishment—parents should be careful with this one. Being too strict can result in children's lying more often.
When should we start teaching them the difference between lies and the truth? Children under the age of 3 don't have the ability to understand the importance of values. As soon as they turn 3, however, it's important for parents to watch carefully. It isn't enough for parents to teach. We must also observe our child's behavior. __38__
Rewarding children can be a great motivation for their learning. They will start to link honesty with something positive. This will help create a trustful environment within the family. __39__ Parents are the models that their children follow, and therefore a lot will depend on a parent's behavior.
As our children grow up, it's important to teach them the value of honesty. __40__ It's important for them to realize that telling lies prevents us from helping them in the most appropriate way.
A.Let them understand the value of telling the truth.
B.Even if we're honest, our children may not be honest.
C.This will allow us to find out what makes the child lie.
D.We can't correct children's behavior through punishment.
E.At the same time, we shouldn't let our children hear us lying.
F.Specialists in child psychology have listed the reasons why children lie.
G.Punishment and anger don't always work when trying to stop children from lying.
篇章导读:本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了作为父母,在孩子小时候就要教育他们诚实的重要性。
36.D 根据下文“Otherwise, they'll prefer to lie in order to avoid being punished.”可知,孩子可能会为了逃避受到惩罚而撒谎。D项(我们不能通过惩罚来纠正孩子的行为。)引出下文不能这么做的原因。D项中的“punishment”与下文中的“punished”是同根词复现。故选D。

39.E 根据下文“Parents are the models that their children follow, and therefore a lot will depend on a parent's behavior.”可知,父母的行为对孩子的行为有很大影响。E项(同时,我们不应该让孩子听到我们撒谎。)引出下文。故选E。
40.A 根据上文“As our children grow up, it's important to teach them the value of honesty.”可知,教育孩子们诚实的价值是很重要的。A项(让他们明白讲真话的价值。)承接上文。A项中的“the value of telling the truth”与上文中的“the value of honesty”语义相同,符合语境。故选A。

My name is Frank. I was from the north of England, but my father had been offered a better job in London, and our whole family had moved there. I was 12 and, having lost all my old friends, I felt shy and lonely at my new school.
There were 33 students in my new class, and most people weren't very interested in a shy new boy. Tony was one of the few people who were kind to me. He often invited me to join his particular group, and as a result, I started getting to know people. Tony and I become good friends. We trusted each other and we could talk about personal matters, things that were important to us.
Five years later, Tony and I are still in the same class. But just under a year ago, Tony's father was knocked over by a car. He died a few days later. The family had to move to a much smaller house in order to manage financially. Tony, who had always been very close to his father, changed completely, becoming silent and moody. He had always been a clever, hardworking student but now he seemed to lose all interest in his work. He started losing friends. These days, Tony and I see each other from time to time, but we're no longer close.
About three months ago, a group of us were playing football together after school. Having left something in the cloakroom, I went inside to get it, and found Tony going through the pockets of people's coats. In his hand he had a wallet ... and I knew it wasn't his!
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
My mouth fell open and I just looked at him.
I knew I must do something to help Tony.

[精彩范文]
My mouth fell open and I just looked at him. I was so surprised that I couldn't believe my eyes. Tony went bright red with a very embarrassed look. “I'll put it back right now,” he said, and he did so. I turned round and walked out without saying a word. I really hoped that Tony would explain why he had been stealing, but he didn't. At the same time, small amounts of money started disappearing from students' lockers. I wondered if the thief was Tony but decided not to say anything to anyone. I really hoped it wasn't him.
I knew I must do something to help Tony. Having thought about the situation for a while, I secretly raised some money from my friends and classmates. With the money, I went to see Tony. “I know you are in trouble. A friend in need is a friend indeed.” I told him with concern giving him the money we raised. He hesitated for a moment, and then took the money, moved to tears. He expressed his gratitude to us and regretted his theft deeply. He was determined to earn money by his own labor and never steal again.
