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。
Wildlife Shelter Carer
Every year, hundreds of thousands of native animals are injured, orphaned or become sick, often because of interaction with people or pets.
Our wildlife shelters in Australia are unsupported. Privately owned in Australia, our wildlife shelters have rescued sick, injured and orphaned native Australian wildlife for many years and loved them back to health to be returned to the natural environment.
Since we receive no recurrent (周期性的) funding from governments, the shelters rely on the contribution of volunteers and donations from the public to keep it running.
The Location
Shelter 1: Located in a small rural community in the east part of the Riverina on a working farm. The Riverina is an agricultural region of south-western New South Wales, Australia, just near the Victorian border. The Riverina is distinguished from other Australian regions by the combination of flat plains, warm to hot climate and an ample supply of water for irrigation. This is a farm style homestay, living and working hands on with the project hosts on a daily basis.
Shelter 2: Located on a beautiful mountain top near the coastal city of Gladstone, Queensland. Marine activities are the lifeblood of the city sitting at the central part of the Great Barrier Reef. This project has separate fully equipped volunteer quarters set in the natural landscape. Apart from animals in care, there are often wild kangaroos, birds and other animals seen on the property.
Our Volunteers
Volunteers play a key role in wildlife rescue and care. Not only will you be learning new skills and helping animals in need, you will also make new friends from around the world and will create an enriching experience for yourself.
1. What is the task of wildlife shelters in Australia?
A. To rescue native animals in trouble.
B. To serve as wildlife research centers.
C. To provide a vacation spot for tourists.
D. To offer a place for people to keep their pets.
2. How are the wildlife shelters in Australia funded?
A. Through government financial funds.
B. By charging visitors for entry.
C. By cooperating with businesses.
D. By relying on charity donations.
3. What type of environment is Shelter 2 located in?
A. A coastal city. B. A mountain top.
C. An agricultural farm. D. A busy urban area.
I had grown up in a football-loving family; my dad had played until injury forced him out.
My older sister Stevie trained with Crewe Alexandra Girls for a year or two as a left back just like our hero Jamie Carragher.
I remember the exact moment I told my dad I was interested in doing what my big sister did. I was watching the game with him in the living room as a pre-teen and it just came out, “It makes me sad that I can’t be a footballer.” He asked why not, and I answered, “Because I’m not a boy.”
He immediately responded by telling me that women’s football was “great” and that I could play if I wanted to. “Yeah, I suppose,” I responded, “but no one watches women’s football.” Looking back I can see exactly why I felt like that.
At school, there was an unwritten rule that sports like hockey and netball were “girl” sports and rugby and football were for the boys. I’d never seen a women’s football match on TV; the only female athletes I’d heard of were in the Olympics.
Today, the Lionesses will take on Scotland in the World Cup. But although women’s football has turned out to be one of FIFA’s best investments, the majority of female players in top tiers are earning under what anyone would consider a fair wage.
On Twitter you’ll find that the most popular defence of those figures argues that there’s less money in the female side of the game because viewing statistics are lower than those from the male footballers, but the truth is that investment is needed for female football to become more visible and become an equally respected game.
Today, I’ll be cheering on the Lionesses, and its coming home will mean more this time around, because it’ll mean talented, skilful female footballers being broadcast into millions of homes and maybe, just maybe, a little girl believing that she too can be a lioness one day.
4. What do we know about Jamie Carragher?
A. He is the author’s teacher. B. He is a friend of the author’s sister’s
C. He’s on the Crewe Alexandra Girls. D. He is an excellent footballer.
5. Which of the following best describes the author’s father?
A. Strict. B. Encouraging. C. Creative. D. Critical.
6. What does the author think of the unwritten rule at school?
A. Disappointing. B. Flexible. C. Fair. D. Appealing.
7. What should people mainly do if they want to make female football better known?
A. Hold more matches. B. Increase investment.
C. Employ more skillful female footballers. D. Broadcast women’s football match on TV every day.
In Sweden, McDonald’s is building “bee hotels” on the back of its roadside billboards(广告牌)to help save the country’s declining bee population. It launched the campaign together with outdoor advertising agency JCDecaux. Six large permanent wooden bee hotels first appeared on the back of a north-facing billboard in Jarfalla in September.
“Without pollination(授粉)from bees, a third of the food we eat would be threatened.” McDonald’s said. But it turns out that at least 30 percent of the country’s wild bee population is endangered. A big problem is that they lack places to live in. Based on data released by Chalmers University of Technology, we know Sweden owns 274 species of bees, of which 37 species are bumblebees, and more than a third are in decline or face the risk of declining unless intervention would be made. Their natural habitats have been damaged by factors including the changes of agricultural activities and increased urbanization. Fortunately, most bees are able to survive in urban habitats, like the bee hotels.
Great efforts have been made by the company. On World Bee Day, May 20, it introduced “the world’s smallest McDonald’s”, Mc Hive, which could function as an actual beehive. Designed by set designer Nicklas Nilsson himself, the creation was sold at auction(拍卖) for $ 10,000 at a charity fundraiser held for Ronald McDonald House Charities.
Beehives can be found on the rooftops of some McDonald’s restaurants in Sweden too.
This took place in certain areas but is now followed by an increasing number of participants. More McDonald’s restaurants are making an effort to improve the living conditions of wild bees by removing the grass around their restaurants to grow flowers and plants instead.
8. What does McDonald’s do to help wild bees in Sweden?
A. Plant more trees. B. Put up more billboards.
C. Provide shelters for bees. D. Cooperate with other restaurants.
9. What do we know from the text?
A. Mc Hive was made on World Bee Day.
B. 30% of the bees in Sweden will go extinct.
C Most McDonald’s restaurants set beehives on their rooftops.
D. Human activities contribute to the decreasing of bee’s population.
10. How does the author explain the importance of protecting bees?
A. By providing details. B. By giving examples.
C. By presenting results. D. By making comparison.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Wild Bees in Danger B. McDonald’s Bee Hotels
C. The Loss of Bee’s Habitats D. The Conservation of Wild Bees
Aasritha Duriseti recently noticed her grandmother’s difficulty opening a bottle cap. Fortunately, she found a solution in her eighth-grade engineering class at Carson Middle School in Herndon, Virginia, whose assignment was to adapt existing products to make daily life easier for people with challenges.
Aasritha’s creativity kicked in as she researched existing bottle-opening devices. She used a piece of wood shaped like a cellphone and put three holes on it, each in different sizes and lined with a layer of dried, sticky hot glue, which provided firm grips (防滑力) for common bottle caps. With a simple twisting (拧) motion, her grandmother could open bottles without assistance.
“Students in the class used more than their math, physics and tool skills. They also learned to look at problems from another’s point of view,” said Teacher Mark Bolt, “Engineers need to put themselves in their product users’ shoes to build effective solutions.”
Other students in the class also showed sensitivity as they watched friends and family struggle with daily tasks.
Michael Kuwashima noticed how dyslexia—a reading disorder that the brain tends to confuse the order of numbers, letters and other images-made it difficult for a friend to follow along on pages full of text. Therefore, Michael created a small adjustable window-blind-style device. “My friend could isolate (分离) small sections of text while reading,” he said.
Arjan Garg focused on a different problem. Sometimes putting on clothes can be hard for people with a limited range of motion. Arjan created a “dressing stick” using four wood sticks of different sizes to fit different clothing.
The students tried different versions of their products along the way to make the best one to show the class.
Rather than requiring step-by-step directions for creating their projects, Bolt preferred to leave students’ creative paths open. “If we want to do better, we have to have a chance to fail,” he said.
12. Why did Aasritha create a new bottle-opening device?
A. She hoped to get a higher score.
B. She was interested in engineering.
C. She had difficulty opening bottle caps.
D. She wanted to help her grandmother.
13. What did students learn from the class?
A. Working with others.
B. Conducting field experiments.
C. Understanding others’ feelings.
D. Communicating with product users.
14. How did students finish their assignment?
A. With the aid of a guidebook.
B. Through trial and error.
C. With the help of classmates.
D. Under the detailed instruction.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. An inspiring class.
B. An excellent teacher.
C. Some scientific methods.
D. Some talented students.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一个完整的短文。
Amanda felt as gray as the sky outside when she looked across the table at her three-year-old sister. Li sat on a booster scat, drinking from her sippy cup. Wondering why Li was still afraid of her, Amanda took a cookie off her plate and held it out to Li, “Want a bite?”
As soon as Li saw Amanda reaching over, her eyes widened. She jumped down from her seat and raced to her room. What an annoyance! Amanda complained to Mom that she had thought being a big sister would be fun. Mom took Amanda’s hand reminding her that Li was in a new country with a new family and how scared she might be.
“Honey, she is still getting used to you,” Mom added. “It’s only been two weeks.”
Over a year ago, Amanda’s parents said that they were adopting a daughter from China, and Amanda had danced with excitement. She’d dreamed of taking her sister to the park, reading books to her, and teaching her to ride a bicycle. That hadn’t happened, though. In the weeks since their trip to China, Li had only let their mom and dad near her. Amanda had drawn pictures for her, read to her, and made funny faces, but none had worked. Whenever she got close, Li ran away.
“I just wish I knew how to help her,” Amanda said to herself, thinking of Li’s frightened eyes. As she sat onto the couch, she turned on the TV and began to watch a cartoon about a dog and a cat. After a few seconds, Amanda realized that the cartoon was in another language. The show looked funny, but she didn’t understand any of it. She frowned, turning off the TV. It reminded her of when they were in China. She had got frustrated when people talked in Mandarin, the language spoken in Li’s province.
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“That’s it,” Amanda sped to her room.

The Riverina is an agricultural region of south-western New South Wales, Australia, just near the Victorian border. The Riverina is distinguished from other Australian regions by the combination of flat plains, warm to hot climate and an ample supply of water for irrigation. This is a farm style homestay, living and working hands on with the project hosts on a daily basis.

At school, there was an unwritten rule that sports like hockey and netball were “girl” sports and rugby and football were for the boys. I’d never seen a women’s football match on TV; the only female athletes I’d heard of were in the Olympics.
Today, the Lionesses will take on Scotland in the World Cup. But although women’s football has turned out to be one of FIFA’s best investments, the majority of female players in top tiers are earning under what anyone would consider a fair wage.
On Twitter you’ll find that the most popular defence of those figures argues that there’s less money in the female side of the game because viewing statistics are lower than those from the male footballers, but the truth is that investment is needed for female football to become more visible and become an equally respected game.
Today, I’ll be cheering on the Lionesses, and its coming home will mean more this time around, because it’ll mean talented, skilful female footballers being broadcast into millions of homes and maybe, just maybe, a little girl believing that she too can be a lioness one day.

【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者生长在一个热爱足球的家庭,自己也很喜欢足球,但现实是没有人看女足比赛,学校里也有橄榄球和足球是男生的运动的不成文规定。作者认为如果人们想让女子足球更出名,他们应增加投资,作者也坚信才华横溢、技术精湛的女足球运动员将通过电视传播到数百万家庭。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“My older sister Stevie trained with Crewe Alexandra Girls for a year or two as a left back just like our hero Jamie Carragher.(我姐姐Stevie和Crewe Alexandra Girls队一起训练了一两年,当左后卫,就像我们的英雄Jamie Carragher一样)”可推知,Jamie Carragher是一个优秀的足球运动员。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“He immediately responded by telling me that women’s football was “great” and that I could play if I wanted to.(他立即回应我说,女子足球“很棒”,如果我想,我可以踢)”可推知,作者的父亲是个善于鼓舞人心的人。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“At school, there was an unwritten rule that sports like hockey and netball were “girl” sports and rugby and football were for the boys.(在学校,有一条不成文的规定,像曲棍球和无板球这样的运动是“女生”的运动,而橄榄球和足球是男生的运动)”可推知,学校规定橄榄球和足球是男生的运动,这对于想踢足球的作者来说很令人失望,即作者认为学校的不成文规定令人失望。故选A。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“On Twitter you’ll find that the most popular defence of those figures argues that there’s less money in the female side of the game because viewing statistics are lower than those from the male footballers, but the truth is that investment is needed for female football to become more visible and become an equally respected game.(在推特上你会发现,这些数据最流行的辩护理由是,女足这边的钱少了,因为收视率数据比男足低,但事实是,女足要想提高知名度,成为同样受人尊重的比赛,需要投资)”可知,如果人们想让女子足球更出名,他们应增加投资。故选B。
In Sweden, McDonald’s is building “bee hotels” on the back of its roadside billboards(广告牌)to help save the country’s declining bee population. It launched the campaign together with outdoor advertising agency JCDecaux. Six large permanent wooden bee hotels first appeared on the back of a north-facing billboard in Jarfalla in September.
“Without pollination(授粉)from bees, a third of the food we eat would be threatened.” McDonald’s said. But it turns out that at least 30 percent of the country’s wild bee population is endangered. A big problem is that they lack places to live in. Based on data released by Chalmers University of Technology, we know Sweden owns 274 species of bees, of which 37 species are bumblebees, and more than a third are in decline or face the risk of declining unless intervention would be made. Their natural habitats have been damaged by factors including the changes of agricultural activities and increased urbanization. Fortunately, most bees are able to survive in urban habitats, like the bee hotels.
Great efforts have been made by the company. On World Bee Day, May 20, it introduced “the world’s smallest McDonald’s”, Mc Hive, which could function as an actual beehive. Designed by set designer Nicklas Nilsson himself, the creation was sold at auction(拍卖) for $ 10,000 at a charity fundraiser held for Ronald McDonald House Charities.
Beehives can be found on the rooftops of some McDonald’s restaurants in Sweden, too.
This took place in certain areas but is now followed by an increasing number of participants. More McDonald’s restaurants are making an effort to improve the living conditions of wild bees by removing the grass around their restaurants to grow flowers and plants instead.
8. What does McDonald’s do to help wild bees in Sweden?
A. Plant more trees. B. Put up more billboards.
C. Provide shelters for bees. D. Cooperate with other restaurants.
9. What do we know from the text?
A. Mc Hive was made on World Bee Day.
B. 30% of the bees in Sweden will go extinct.
C. Most McDonald’s restaurants set beehives on their rooftops.
D. Human activities contribute to the decreasing of bee’s population.
10. How does the author explain the importance of protecting bees?
A. By providing details. B. By giving examples.
C. By presenting results. D. By making comparison.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Wild Bees in Danger B. McDonald’s Bee Hotels
C. The Loss of Bee’s Habitats D. The Conservation of Wild Bees
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】

细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In Sweden, McDonald’s is building “bee hotels” on the back of its roadside billboards to help save the country’s declining bee population.(在瑞典,麦当劳正在路边广告牌的背面建造“蜜蜂旅馆”,以帮助拯救该国不断减少的蜜蜂数量。)”可知,麦当劳通过为蜜蜂提供庇护所帮助瑞典的野生蜜蜂。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。通过文章第二段“Their natural habitats have been damaged by factors including the changes of agricultural activities and increased urbanization.(由于农业活动的变化和城市化进程的加快,它们的自然栖息地遭到破坏。)”可知人类活动导致蜜蜂数量的减少。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。通过文章第二段麦当劳所说“Without pollination(授粉)from bees, a third of the food we eat would be threatened.(如果没有蜜蜂的授粉,三分之一的食物将受到威胁。)”可知,作者向我们展示了失去蜜蜂的后果,用以说明其重要性。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In Sweden, McDonald’s is building “bee hotels” on the back of its roadside billboards(广告牌)to help save the country’s declining bee population.”(在瑞典,麦当劳正在路边的广告牌后面建造“蜜蜂旅馆”,以帮助拯救瑞典不断下降的蜜蜂数量。)结合全文内容,可知本文主要介绍了麦当劳通过何种方式拯救濒临灭绝的蜜蜂,以及越来越多的麦当劳餐厅正在努力改善野生蜜蜂的生存条件。所以文章标题应该是“麦当劳蜜蜂旅馆”。故选B项。
Aasritha Duriseti recently noticed her grandmother’s difficulty opening a bottle cap. Fortunately she found a solution in her eighth-grade engineering class at Carson Middle School in Herndon, Virginia, whose assignment was to adapt existing products to make daily life easier for people with challenges.
Aasritha’s creativity kicked in as she researched existing bottle-opening devices. She used a piece of wood shaped like a cellphone and put three holes on it, each in different sizes and lined with a layer of dried, sticky hot glue, which provided firm grips (防滑力) for common bottle caps. With a simple twisting (拧) motion, her grandmother could open bottles without assistance.
“Students in the class used more than their math, physics and tool skills. They also learned to look at problems from another’s point of view,” said Teacher Mark Bolt, “Engineers need to put themselves in their product users’ shoes to build effective solutions.”
Other students in the class also showed sensitivity as they watched friends and family struggle with daily tasks.
Michael Kuwashima noticed how dyslexia—a reading disorder that the brain tends to confuse the order of numbers, letters and other images-made it difficult for a friend to follow along on pages full of text. Therefore, Michael created a small adjustable window-blind-style device. “My friend could isolate (分离) small sections of text while reading,” he said.
Arjan Garg focused on a different problem. Sometimes putting on clothes can be hard for people with a limited range of motion. Arjan created a “dressing stick” using four wood sticks of different sizes to fit different clothing.
The students tried different versions of their products along the way to make the best one to show the class.
Rather than requiring step-by-step directions for creating their projects, Bolt preferred to leave students’ creative paths open. “If we want to do better, we have to have a chance to fail,” he said.
12. Why did Aasritha create a new bottle-opening device?
A. She hoped to get a higher score.
B. She was interested in engineering.
C. She had difficulty opening bottle caps.
D. She wanted to help her grandmother.
13. What did students learn from the class?
A. Working with others.
B. Conducting field experiments.
C. Understanding others’ feelings.
D. Communicating with product users.
14. How did students finish their assignment?
A. With the aid of a guidebook.
B. Through trial and error.
C. With the help of classmates.
D. Under the detailed instruction.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. An inspiring class.
B. An excellent teacher.
C. Some scientific methods.
D. Some talented students.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一个完整的短文。
Amanda felt as gray as the sky outside when she looked across the table at her three-year-old sister. Li sat on a booster scat, drinking from her sippy cup. Wondering why Li was still afraid of her, Amanda took a cookie off her plate and held it out to Li, “Want a bite?”
As soon as Li saw Amanda reaching over, her eyes widened. She jumped down from her seat and raced to her room. What an annoyance! Amanda complained to Mom that she had thought being a big sister would be fun. Mom took Amanda’s hand reminding her that Li was in a new country with a new family and how scared she might be.
“Honey, she is still getting used to you,” Mom added. “It’s only been two weeks.”
Over a year ago, Amanda’s parents said that they were adopting a daughter from China, and Amanda had danced with excitement. She’d dreamed of taking her sister to the park, reading books to her, and teaching her to ride a bicycle. That hadn’t happened, though. In the weeks since their trip to China, Li had only let their mom and dad near her. Amanda had drawn pictures for her, read to her, and made funny faces, but none had worked. Whenever she got close, Li ran away.
“I just wish I knew how to help her,” Amanda said to herself, thinking of Li’s frightened eyes. As she sat onto the couch, she turned on the TV and began to watch a cartoon about a dog and a cat. After a few seconds, Amanda realized that the cartoon was in another language. The show looked funny, but she didn’t understand any of it. She frowned, turning off the TV. It reminded her of when they were in China. She had got frustrated when people talked in Mandarin, the language spoken in Li’s province.
注意:

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para 1:
“That’s it.” Amanda sped to Li’s room. She gathered all her courage to ask Li in Mandarin whether she would like to see a cartoon with her. For the first time ever, Li nodded her head in delight, excitement shining from her eyes. Although Amanda was nearly at a loss to understand what the cartoon was about, Li spared no effort to make the program come across. Both sisters were immersed in the warmth between them.
Para 2:
Mom came to the door and found them sitting side by side. Happiness welled up from the bottom of her heart. Not in her wildest dream could she imagine that her two beloved daughters would get along well with each other. It was not until mom patted the two on the back that they realized mom’s presence. Mom was delighted to see the special bonds created between her daughters. With sunlight streaming into the room, the family were in the seventh heaven.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Amanda一直无法取得妹妹Li的信任,最后得知妹妹Li是父母在中国收养的孩子,来到一个全新环境中,最后因电视中正在播放中文动画片这一机缘巧合,使得Amanda逐渐发现了不信任的产生源于语言沟通的障碍。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“有办法了”可知,第一段可描写Amanda找到汉语学习资料,入门并运用,接着打破两人隔阂的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“妈妈来到门口,发现他们并排坐着。”可知,第二段可描写妈妈的反应,以及姐妹互动的过程。
