Reading Comprehension(共15小题, 每小题2分, 共30分) Choose the best answer according to the passage you read. (A) My favourite thing to do at weekends is to go to the beach. The beach is beautiful all the year. I usually drive there. If the weather is cold, I will wear some warm clothes and go for long walks on the beach. When the weather is hot, I enjoy swimming or just lying in the sun. —Barbara I love going biking! Two years ago, I bought an exercise bike (健身脚踏车). But soon I got bored with being at home, so I bought a used bike and started going for short rides. Now I plan day trips in my neighbourhood (街区). When you drive a car, you miss many things. It’s surprising how much more you can see when you’re biking. —Maggie At weekends, I like reading books. If the weather is nice, I’ll take a good book to the park and stay there reading for hours. I think there’s nothing as enjoyable as reading a good book. —Bill Weekends are for going hiking (徒步旅行) with my parents. We live near some beautiful mountains. Sometimes we camp out at night. We really enjoy cooking dinner over a campfire and spending a night under the stars! —Sara 21. People above all like doing some exercise when they’re free EXCEPT ________. A. Barbara B. Maggie C. Bill D. Sara 22. Which of the following sentences is TRUE? A. Barbara usually goes for a walk to the beach. B. Maggie enjoys riding the exercise bike now. C. Bill often takes a book to the park even on a rainy day. D. Sara likes going hiking and camping with her parents. 23. Which question may the four people answer? A. What do you like to do at weekend? B. What do you think of your weekend life? C. What do you look like? D. What’s your hobby? (B) If you grew up in an unusual family and felt limited (受限的), how would you change your life story? In the book Educated, the US writer Tara Westover shows us how she deals with (处理) hard times. The book talks about Westover’s life. Her father had a junkyard (垃圾场) in Idaho, US. It’s a very small mountain village. Tara and her brothers and sisters worked every day. Before she turned 17, she had never traveled outside. None of the kids in her family had ever been to a school or a hospital. As she got older, she felt that she needed to get away from this uncomfortable situation. Luckily, Westover’s older brother taught her to read. With hard work, Westover went to college, and later got a PhD (博士学位) in History at Cambridge University. Education changed her, her life, her way of thinking and even her luck. After reading the book, I come to feel the deepest thanks for my own family, and the education I got. Education allows girls like Westover to fly like birds toward their own goals. It allows us to get a different view, find new experiences, better understand others and explore the wider world. I wish for all of us to be like free and powerful birds, growing and changing through challenges and difficulties. 24. What’s the main purpose of Paragraph 1? A. To ask for readers’ advice. B. To ask readers to buy the book. C. To tell how to change one’s life. D. To introduce the theme of the book. 25. What can we learn about Westover’s life from Paragraph 2? A. Her brother got a PhD in History. B. She changed her life with hard work. C. Her life in the village was comfortable. D. She left the small village when she was little. 26. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. How birds fly. B. The ways of thinking. C. Experiences of girls’ growing. D. The power of education. 27. What is the text? A. A news report. B. A book review. C. A fun story. D. A reading plan. (C) Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for directions. A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home. These arts live in the open desert (沙漠), so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest. Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have the similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area. Some animals can sense the Earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have not found the answer yet. However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for directions, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals. 28. How can a certain kind of ants find their way? A. By imagining the way. B. By counting their steps. C. By bringing food together. D. By walking through a forest. 29. What can some fish do with the help the Earth’s magnetic field? A. They can swim as far as 110 metres and bring food home. B. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large area. C. They can swim a long way to a place and then back. D. They can make a smell map of their swimming area. 30. What are people advised to do according to the last paragraph? A. To help animals. B. To travel at night. C. To keep city lights on. D. To develop unusual abilities. 31. Which can be the best title for the passage? A. Birds’ Sense of Light B. Fish’s Sense of Smell C. Animals’ Sense of Direction D. Animals Can Sense the Magnetic Field (D) In December 2020, the “quiet carriage (车厢)” service was first introduced on some trains of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway and the Chengdu-Chongqing high-speed railway. Up to June 2024, this service has covered the Beijing-Guangzhou, Beijing-Harbin, Shanghai-Kunming and other high-speed railways. The “quiet carriages” have silent videos and announcements made at a low volume (音量). Doors at both ends of the carriage are closed to reduce noise from outside. During the trip, passengers must wear earphones or turn off loudspeakers when using electronic devices (电子设备). They also need to leave their seats to make or answer calls, and their phones should be set to silent or vibrate mode (振动模式). For those travelling with children, they must take care of them and keep them quiet. Mr. Li, a Chengdu local, said, “I make at least one round trip a week between Chengdu and Chongqing for work. I sometimes need to focus on my work or get some rest during the hour-long trip. The ‘quiet carriage’ is a good choice for me.” “When I booked the tickets, I first saw the choice for the ‘quiet carriage’, and I wanted to give it a shot,” said Miss Mou, who took the train from Beijing to Shanghai. “When I went into the carriage for the first time, signs reminding passengers to keep quiet were everywhere, and it was really much quieter than the other carriages.” Experts say that the “quiet carriage!” service provides passengers with more value-added choices. It not only helps passengers to follow public order, but also creates a more civilized (文明的) travelling environment. 32. How does the author begin the article to get your interest in the “quiet carriage” service? A. By telling a personal story. B. By giving lots of examples. C. By explaining when and where the service started. D. By comparing it to other train services in each city. 33. What is the main idea of the second paragraph? A The history of high-speed rail services. B. The introduction of a new travelling way. C. The importance of people’s behavior. D. The rules that make the carriages quiet. 34. The underlined words “give it a shot” have the similar meaning with ______. A. enjoy myself B. have a try C. give up D. pay for it 35. Why do experts think the “quiet-carriage” service is valuable? A. It can help passengers focus on the work and rest better. B. It has signs reminding people to keep quiet everywhere. C. It is a good choice for those who often make round trips. D. It encourages order and a civilized travel environment. III.

He went there to give a talk on the environment. When it was over, he travelled to the Rocky Mountains and stayed in the Maple Leaf Hotel. He then took a short walk to look at the local plants in the forest. After a few hours, he knew he took the wrong way, but was sure he could get back to the hotel. However, after walking for several hours the next day, Bob knew he was in trouble. “I had my mobile phone, but the battery (电池) was almost dead. I could probably make just one call. But I didn’t know the number of my hotel and I didn’t want to worry my family if I really didn’t have to,” said Bob. He went on walking for three more days. He knew which plants he could eat and he had little trouble finding them. On the fourth day, he knew there was no hope and decided to call his family. “He was quite calm when he spoke to me on the phone,” said Shirley, Bob’s wife. “He seemed to be in control (操控) of the situation.” Shirley called the Maple Leaf Hotel at once. “That week, lots of visitors went to the city to watch basketball games, and we thought Mr Rigsby went there too,” said the hotel owner. As soon as Shirley phoned, the hotel sent out some people to look for Bob. They found him about one hour later, and luckily he was quite unhurt. “I will never go to the forest without a guide. I never want an experience like that again,” said Bob. 61. Last year Bob went to Vancouver, Canada by _________ and he _________ a talk on the environment. 62.
