Part 2 Reading and Writing (第二部分 读和写) V.Reading comprehension (阅读理解) A. Choose the best answer (根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案)(12 分) Old George selected his food in the supermarket more carefully than NASA chose its astronauts. When he left the cashier, he was pleased to think that he had saved 80 cents today. At the exit, the cold wind made him think of his gloves. He looked for them in his coat and pants but could not find them anywhere. He had bought the black gloves at a good price, for just $35, years ago. They were soft and very comfortable. He had taken great care looking after them, so they were George, calm on the outside but mad on the inside, re-entered the store. He followed the same route he had walked before. Several minutes of searching turned out to be in vain (徒劳). His black gloves were gone. “People have changed,” he said to himself. “Years ago, if somebody picked up something lost, they would give it back. Not any more!” He stared at anybody wearing black gloves to see if they looked like his. On his way to the dairy section, he noticed a lady wearing a pair of black gloves. He sped up and in three seconds was in front of her. But when the surprised woman looked over, his eyes dropped, for her gloves were just far too small to be his. He went over to the cashier to ask if she had received any lost gloves, but she said no. He finally walked out into the street. A few days later, poor George decided to buy another leather pair. Before getting on the subway, he stepped into the supermarket again to see if by any chance his gloves had been returned to the lost and found office. “What color are they?” the woman in the office asked. “Black,” he gave the same answer. She looked into her drawer and drew out a pair of men’s leather gloves. “Are they?” “Yes! Those are mine,” George exclaimed, his eyes full of joy. 39．The author tells us that ________ in the first paragraph. A．George was very poor B．George was very strange C．every cent was important to George D．George was careless in shopping 40．The underlined phrase “in good condition” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”. A．excellent without damage B．healthy C．attractive D．good-looking 41．George searched for his gloves in a mad way because ________. A．they were a precious gift given by his friends B．they were bought at a high price in a big store C．he could not find other gloves as good as this pair D．he would rather not spend money on another pair 42．When George realized he had probably lost his gloves, he ________. A．thought someone had found his gloves and kept them B．was calm and confident that he could get his gloves back C．thought that there were more thieves nowadays than before D．looked for his gloves everywhere including in the lost and found office 43．How do you think George felt when he finally left the supermarket without finding his gloves?

I have been into sports since I was six years old. I have known many coaches, but they usually focus on drills (演练) to improve my skills and reach the next level of play. When I was in Senior Two, I met the new school basketball coach, Brian Pawloski. Soon something strange happened. Our school needed a new basketball team. I thought I was 45 to be chosen for the school team because I had been in it the year before. So I just show up the tryouts and put about 90% effort into the match because I thought I’d make it with no problem. Actually, it turned out to be a big 46 . I wasn’t chosen for the team at first. For the following months, I spent a lot of time practising and finally passed the test. During the practice, Brian Pawloski is the strictest coach I have ever met. He didn’t expect 100% effort, while he expected 200% effort. I still remember once we 47 40 lay ups (投篮) in a game, then he made us do 40 suicide drills (自杀式训练) instead. Some thought this was crazy, but it was useful for me. After this practice, as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink, I said, “Coach, that was the 48 practice I ever had.” I was completely serious and Brian Pawloski smiled. Unlike the coaches of my youth, this man was interested in how we did off the court. He always made sure I 49 my studies and was able to be trusted. We were lucky to have such a great person to teach and coach us. This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school. He always tried his best to let us know 50 we were good at and how to put all the energy in a match. He expected us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom. When I was not working on basketball, I was studying or reading some useful books instead. I will never forget my coach as well as my high school basketball days in my life. 45．A．brave B．certain C．careful D．strong 46．A．chance B．decision C．mistake D．question 47．A．caught B．missed C．practised D．got 48．A．best B．easiest C．most common D．most popular 49．A．depended on B．kept up with C．talked about D．slowed down 50．A．where B．when C．how D．what C. Fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词，首字母已给)(14分) The Paradox of Effort: Why Resting Is Harder Than It Seems Do you ever dream of doing nothing at all, lying on a grassland for a whole afternoon, just staring at the sky and listening to the silence? It may sound like a l 51 idea, but in fact we can find doing nothing at all—and no sleep—very hard to do. In a famous study a few years ago at the University of Virginia, participants were led one at a time into a c 52 empty room with no distractions (分心之物). They had no phones, no books, no screens—and they weren’t allowed to take a nap. Electrodes (电极) were fitted to their ankles, and they were left alone for 15 minutes. It was a chance to kick back and relax for a short while. So, how did it go? Well, before being left alone, participants were shown how to press a computer key connected to a machine that gave an electric shock. You might think that having tried it once, no one would want to do it again. W 53 . In fact, 71% of the men and 25% of the women gave themselves at least one electric shock during their time alone and one man shocked himself a shocking 190 times. It turns out that having nothing to do was so torturing (折磨人的) that many of the participants p 54 to, in fact, torture themselves rather than put up with no distraction. This experiment is an e 55 example, but we know from everyday life that people continuously choose to do things they don’t need to do and which are sometimes painful. Think of your friends who run 40 kilometers a time or set punishing rules at the gym. They go way beyond what is required for their health and fitness. Michael Inzlicht from the University of Toronto calls this the paradox (悖论) of effort. Sometimes we take the easy way and do as little as possible, but other times we actually enjoy the situations more when we have to work hard. The j 56 of putting in effort can be so great that we choose not to take the easy way out. For example, we might spend hours solving a difficult math problem on our own instead of just looking up the answer on a learning app. During this difficult time, we can find that we are not born l 57 . Indeed in a strange way we might find that doing less, and resting more, actually requires a lot more effort than one would think. D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题) (12 分) As a younger man, Joe saw thousands of fireflies (萤火虫) every summer in southern Arizona. The sight was so magical that he was inspired to become an insect expert and, ever since, the study of the lightning bugs has become his life’s work. Four decades later, Joe still goes back to those woodlands. Today, though, they’re mostly dark. The fireflies have been disappearing, Joe said. “Down to just a very few compared to the big population they had back then.” Nearly one in three firefly species in the United States and Canada may die out in the future, scientists say. Studies also show a fall in their numbers from forests in Malaysia to grasslands in England. The biggest problem facing fireflies today is the loss of their habitats. Fireflies spend most of their lives in their larval (幼虫的) state. But much of the wet soil that young fireflies need to grow is being destroyed. Instead, the lands are used to build houses, golf courses, and for other types of development. The rising sea level has made matters worse. Now it has nowhere else to go. When the time is right in spring, a young firefly turns into an adult. The adults live for only a few weeks. During this period, they have only one thing on their minds: to find their mates. Fireflies often flicker (闪烁) at each other as night falls. Others wait until midnight to turn on the lights. However, the light we pour into the night makes it harder for them to see each other. For ordinary people, saving fireflies from climate change and other environmental threats is difficult. But we can help to protect them from light pollution. We should turn off the lights. 58．Joe wants to be an insect expert in the future, doesn’t he? ________________________ 59．In the US and Canada, how much percent of firefly species may disappear in the future? ________________________ 60．In which countries did the study find out the fall in the numbers of fireflies? ________________________ 61．What is the biggest problem for fireflies today?

Sometimes we take the easy way and do as little as possible, but other times we actually enjoy the situations more when we have to work hard. The j 56 of putting in effort can be so great that we choose not to take the easy way out. For example, we might spend hours solving a difficult math problem on our own instead of just looking up the answer on a learning app. During this difficult time, we can find that we are not born l 57 . Indeed in a strange way we might find that doing less, and resting more, actually requires a lot more effort than one would think. D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题) (12 分) As a younger man, Joe saw thousands of fireflies (萤火虫) every summer in southern Arizona. The sight was so magical that he was inspired to become an insect expert and, ever since, the study of the lightning bugs has become his life’s work. Four decades later, Joe still goes back to those woodlands. Today, though, they’re mostly dark. The fireflies have been disappearing, Joe said. “Down to just a very few compared to the big population they had back then.” Nearly one in three firefly species in the United States and Canada may die out in the future, scientists say. Studies also show a fall in their numbers from forests in Malaysia to grasslands in England. The biggest problem facing fireflies today is the loss of their habitats. Fireflies spend most of their lives in their larval (幼虫的) state. But much of the wet soil that young fireflies need to grow is being destroyed. Instead, the lands are used to build houses, golf courses, and for other types of development. The rising sea level has made matters worse. Now it has nowhere else to go. When the time is right in spring, a young firefly turns into an adult. The adults live for only a few weeks. During this period, they have only one thing on their minds: to find their mates. Fireflies often flicker (闪烁) at each other as night falls. Others wait until midnight to turn on the lights. However, the light we pour into the night makes it harder for them to see each other. For ordinary people, saving fireflies from climate change and other environmental threats is difficult. But we can help to protect them from light pollution. We should turn off the lights. 58．Joe wants to be an insect expert in the future, doesn’t he? ________________________ 59．In the US and Canada, how much percent of firefly species may disappear in the future? ________________________ 60．In which countries did the study find out the fall in the numbers of fireflies? ________________________ 61．What is the biggest problem for fireflies today?

He had taken great care looking after them, so they were George, calm on the outside but mad on the inside, re-entered the store. He followed the same route he had walked before. Several minutes of searching turned out to be in vain (徒劳). His black gloves were gone. “People have changed,” he said to himself. “Years ago, if somebody picked up something lost, they would give it back. Not any more!” He stared at anybody wearing black gloves to see if they looked like his. On his way to the dairy section, he noticed a lady wearing a pair of black gloves.

I have known many coaches, but they usually focus on drills (演练) to improve my skills and reach the next level of play. When I was in Senior Two, I met the new school basketball coach, Brian Pawloski. Soon something strange happened. Our school needed a new basketball team. I thought I was 45 to be chosen for the school team because I had been in it the year before. So I just show up the tryouts and put about 90% effort into the match because I thought I’d make it with no problem. Actually, it turned out to be a big 46 . I wasn’t chosen for the team at first. For the following months, I spent a lot of time practising and finally passed the test. During the practice, Brian Pawloski is the strictest coach I have ever met. He didn’t expect 100% effort, while he expected 200% effort. I still remember once we 47 40 lay ups (投篮) in a game, then he made us do 40 suicide drills (自杀式训练) instead. Some thought this was crazy, but it was useful for me. After this practice, as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink, I said, “Coach, that was the 48 practice I ever had.” I was completely serious and Brian Pawloski smiled. Unlike the coaches of my youth, this man was interested in how we did off the court. He always made sure I 49 my studies and was able to be trusted. We were lucky to have such a great person to teach and coach us. This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school. He always tried his best to let us know 50 we were good at and how to put all the energy in a match. He expected us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom. When I was not working on basketball, I was studying or reading some useful books instead.

It may sound like a l 51 idea, but in fact we can find doing nothing at all—and no sleep—very hard to do. In a famous study a few years ago at the University of Virginia, participants were led one at a time into a c 52 empty room with no distractions (分心之物). They had no phones, no books, no screens—and they weren’t allowed to take a nap. Electrodes (电极) were fitted to their ankles, and they were left alone for 15 minutes. It was a chance to kick back and relax for a short while. So, how did it go? Well, before being left alone, participants were shown how to press a computer key connected to a machine that gave an electric shock. You might think that having tried it once, no one would want to do it again. W 53 . In fact, 71% of the men and 25% of the women gave themselves at least one electric shock during their time alone and one man shocked himself a shocking 190 times. It turns out that having nothing to do was so torturing (折磨人的) that many of the participants p 54 to, in fact, torture themselves rather than put up with no distraction. This experiment is an e 55 example, but we know from everyday life that people continuously choose to do things they don’t need to do and which are sometimes painful. Think of your friends who run 40 kilometers a time or set punishing rules at the gym. They go way beyond what is required for their health and fitness. Michael Inzlicht from the University of Toronto calls this the paradox (悖论) of effort. Sometimes we take the easy way and do as little as possible, but other times we actually enjoy the situations more when we have to work hard. The j 56 of putting in effort can be so great that we choose not to take the easy way out. For example, we might spend hours solving a difficult math problem on our own instead of just looking up the answer on a learning app. During this difficult time, we can find that we are not born l 57 . Indeed in a strange way we might find that doing less, and resting more, actually requires a lot more effort than one would think. 【答案】51．(l)ovely 52．(c)ompletely 53．(W)rong 54．(p)referred 55．(e)xtreme 56．(j)oy 57．(l)azy 【导语】本文通过弗吉尼亚大学的研究（参与者在无干扰房间的异常行为 ）及日常生活例子（如朋友过度运动 ），阐述了努力的悖论，即人们有时宁愿努力做事也不愿轻松度日，说明休息比看上去更难，少做事多休息实则需付出更多努力。 51．句意：这听起来可能是个美妙的主意，但事实上我们会发现，什么都不做（而且还不睡觉 ）其实非常难。根据前文“lying on a grassland for a whole afternoon, just staring at the sky and listening to the silence”可知这样惬意的场景，这种场景给人的感觉是不错的，所以需要一个表示美好、宜人的形容词来修饰“idea”。故填(l)ovely。 52．句意：在几年前弗吉尼亚大学的一项著名研究中，参与者被依次带入一个完全空旷且没有干扰物的房间。根据“empty room with no distractions”可知这里需要一个副词来修饰“empty”，强调房间没有任何东西干扰，是完全空旷的状态，从文中对房间的描述可推出。故填(c)ompletely。 53．句意：你可能会认为试过一次之后，没人会想再做一次。错了。根据“You might think that having tried it once, no one would want to do it again.”，“In fact, 71% of the men and 25% of the women gave themselves at least one electric shock during their time alone”可知前后形成转折，说明前面的想法是错误的。故填(W)rong。 54．句意：事实证明，无事可做是如此折磨人，以至于许多参与者宁愿折磨自己，也不愿忍受没有分心的事情。根据“It turns out that having nothing to do was so torturing that many of the participants... rather than put up with no distraction.”结合固定搭配prefer to do sth. rather than do sth.“宁愿做某事而不愿做某事”，从参与者的行为可推出他们宁愿折磨自己。故填(p)referred。 55．句意：这个实验是一个极端的例子，但我们从日常生活中知道，人们不断地选择做他们不需要做的事情，有时是痛苦的。前文描述的实验中，参与者在无事可做时宁愿电击自己，这种情况比较特殊、超出常理，所以需要一个表示极端的形容词来修饰“example”。故填(e)xtreme。 56．句意：付出努力的快乐是如此之大，以至于我们选择不走捷径。根据“Sometimes we take the easy way and do as little as possible, but other times we actually enjoy the situations more when we have to work hard.”说明付出努力能带来一种让人愿意选择努力而非轻松方式的感受，即愉悦感。故填(j)oy。 57．句意：在这个困难的时刻，我们可以发现，我们不是天生懒惰的。前文提到人们有时宁愿努力做事，比如自己花时间解数学难题，也不愿选择轻松查找答案的方式，说明人不是天生就倾向于懒惰、不做事。故填(l)azy。 D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题) (12 分) As a younger man, Joe saw thousands of fireflies (萤火虫) every summer in southern Arizona. The sight was so magical that he was inspired to become an insect expert and, ever since, the study of the lightning bugs has become his life’s work. Four decades later, Joe still goes back to those woodlands. Today, though, they’re mostly dark. The fireflies have been disappearing, Joe said. “Down to just a very few compared to the big population they had back then.” Nearly one in three firefly species in the United States and Canada may die out in the future, scientists say. Studies also show a fall in their numbers from forests in Malaysia to grasslands in England. The biggest problem facing fireflies today is the loss of their habitats. Fireflies spend most of their lives in their larval (幼虫的) state. But much of the wet soil that young fireflies need to grow is being destroyed. Instead, the lands are used to build houses, golf courses, and for other types of development. The rising sea level has made matters worse. Now it has nowhere else to go. When the time is right in spring, a young firefly turns into an adult. The adults live for only a few weeks. During this period, they have only one thing on their minds: to find their mates. Fireflies often flicker (闪烁) at each other as night falls. Others wait until midnight to turn on the lights. However, the light we pour into the night makes it harder for them to see each other. For ordinary people, saving fireflies from climate change and other environmental threats is difficult. But we can help to protect them from light pollution. We should turn off the lights. 58．Joe wants to be an insect expert in the future, doesn’t he? ________________________ 59．In the US and Canada, how much percent of firefly species may disappear in the future? ________________________ 60．In which countries did the study find out the fall in the numbers of fireflies? ________________________ 61．What is the biggest problem for fireflies today? The biggest problem is that fireflies . 62．What has the land of fireflies’ home been changed into?(List two examples) ________________________ 63．What can we do to save fireflies? Why is it so important to them? ________________________ 【答案】58．Yes, he does. 59．Nearly one in three. 60．The United States, Canada, Malaysia, and England. 61．lose their habitats/are losing their habitats 62．Houses and golf courses. 63．We can turn off the lights, because fireflies need to find their mates by flickering at each other. 【导语】本文主要讲述萤火虫数量减少现状，涉及研究、面临问题及保护措施。 58．根据“As a younger man...his life’s work.”可知，Joe想成为昆虫专家。故填Yes, he does. 59．根据“Nearly one in three...cientists say.”可知，美加未来约三分之一萤火虫物种可能消失。故填Nearly one in three. 60．根据“Nearly one in three...grasslands in England.”可知，萤火虫数量减少的情况涉及美国、加拿大、马来西亚和英国这些国家。故填The United States, Canada, Malaysia, and England. 61．根据“The biggest problem...of their habitats.”可知，萤火虫最大的问题是失去栖息地。故填lose their habitatsa/are losing their habitats. 62．根据“Instead, the lands are...types of development.”可知，萤火虫的栖息地变为房屋和高尔夫球场。故填Houses and golf courses. 63．根据“When the time is right...to find their mates.”及“But we can help to...off the lights.”可知，可关灯保护萤火虫，因其需闪烁找配偶。故填We can turn off the lights, because fireflies need to find their mates by flickering at each other.

She apologized to me immediately. She even offered to mend it for me. However, I was so angry that I kept shouting at her. The other students gathered around us, and Lily was really ashamed. Now I feel deep regrets. Lily didn’t do that on purpose and she apologized. Our friendship should be worth much more than a phone.
