第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节（共15小题；每题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.

I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.

After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.

I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.

She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”

“Oh, you’re such a good man.” She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”

“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.

“Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice(临终医院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”

I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器).

For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.

Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.

At dawn, she suddenly said,” I’m tired. Let’s go now.”

We drove in silence to the address she had given me.

“How much do I owe you?” she asked.

“Nothing.” I said.

“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered. Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”

21. The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to ______.

A. show she was familiar with the city B. see some places for the last time

C. let the driver earn more money D. reach the destination on time

22. The taxi driver did not charge the old woman because he ______.

A. wanted to do her a favor B. shut off the meter by mistake

C. had received her payment in advance D. was in a hurry to take other passengers

23. What can we learn from the story?

A. Giving is always a pleasure.

B. People should respect each other.

C. An act of kindness can bring people great joy.

D. People should learn to appreciate others’ concern.

You may know your mother, but how well do you really know Mother’s Day? Cards, flowers, sales, TV specials, and a day off for someone who really deserves (应得) it ---- those are what probably come to mind for many people when they think of Mother’s Day. But there’s more to the story.

The earliest Mother’s Day celebrations were held during spring in ancient Greece. The celebrations honored Rhea, the Mother of the gods. During the 1600’s, England celebrated a day called Mothering Sunday. On this day even servants were given the day off to spend with their families. A mothering cake was even served with the family meal.

In the US, Mother’s Day began in 1872 when Julia Ward Howe, who wrote the words to the famous song The Battle Hymn of the Republic, suggested it as a day devoted to peace. But it didn’t really become popular until 1907 when Anna Jarvis started a campaign to honor mothers. She believed that mothers could help people get over the pain they experienced during the Civil War. The US isn’t alone in devoting a day to mothers. Many other countries including Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, Japan, and Belgium also honor their mothers in May. Other countries honor their mothers at different times of the year.

Learning more about Mother’s Day and celebrating Mother’s Day are important, but probably not as important as understanding what your own mother, or grandmother, or aunt has really done for you. And that will certainly be appreciated more than one day in a year.

24. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The reason why people celebrate Mother’s Day.

B. The ways people honor mothers.

C. The history of Mother’s Day.

D. The contribution of mothers.

25. Where was the earliest Mother’s Day celebrated?

A. In ancient Greece. B. In the US. C. In England. D. In Italy.

26. We can learn from the passage that _____.

A. Rhea is the mother of a king in ancient Greece

B. all the countries don’t celebrate Mother’s Day in May

C. only mothers were given a day off on Mothering Sunday

D. it was in 1872 that Mother’s Day really came into being

27. The last paragraph tells us that _____.

A. all the people should celebrate Mother’s Day by doing something good to their mothers. B. only mothers are honored on Mother’s Day C. understanding mothers’ work is more important than just celebrating Mother’s Day D. people should celebrate Mother’s Day every day

People seem to have a natural need for friends and with good reason. Friends increase your enjoyment of life and relieve feelings of loneliness. They even can help reduce stress and improve your health. Having good friends is especially helpful when you are going through any kind of hard time such as when you are experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, or depression.

When you are with good friends you feel good about yourself, and you are glad to be with them. A friend is someone who —

●you like, respect, and trust, and who likes, respects and trusts you.

●doesn’t always understand you, but accepts and likes you as you are, even as you grow and change.

●allows you the space to change, grow, make decisions, and even make mistakes.

●listens to you and shares with you both the good times and the bad times.

●respects your need for secrets, so you can tell them anything.

●lets you freely express your feelings and emotions without judging, teasing (取笑), or criticizing（批评）you.

●accepts the limitations（限制）you have put on yourself and helps you to remove them.

A person once said, “Friendship is a continuing source of bonding, releasing, and creating in yourself and with the other person. There is an emotional bond between the two people.”

A good friend or supporter may or may not be the same age or the same sex as you, and may not have the same educational, cultural, or religious background, or share interests that are similar to yours. Friendships also have different depths. Some are closer to the heart and some

28. Which of the following is NOT a function of a friend?

A. He brings you some happiness. B. He helps you feel less lonely.

C. He helps you get over the difficulties. D. He helps you live a longer life.

29. We can infer from the passage that _________.

A. friends only share the happy times with you

B. friends respect each other but keep a distance between each other

C. friends of the same background or interest can develop a better relationship

D. friends always allow you to make mistakes

30. The underlined word “superficial” in the last paragraph means _________.

A. deep B. hard C. skin-deep D. close

31. Which is the best title for the passage?

A. What Kind of Person A Friend Should Be B. A Friend in Need Is A Friend Indeed

C. To Be A Good Friend D. How to Get on with Your Friend

The Attack on September 11th

New York: When the first jet struck Tower 1 at World Trade Center at 8: 48 am on Tuesday, the people in Tower 2 at World Trade Center with a view of the instant damage across the divide had the clearest sense of what they too must do : get out

fast.

Katherine Ilachinski, who had been knocked off her chair by the blast of heat exploding from the neighboring tower, was one of those. Despite her 70 years of age, Ms Ilachinski, an architect working on the 91st floor of Tower 2 at World Trade Center, the south tower, went for the stairs. Twelve floors above her, Judy Wein, a manager, screamed and set off too.

But others up and down the 110 floors, many without clear views of the damage across the way and thus unclear about what was happening, were not so sure. And the 18 minutes before the next plane would hit were ticking off.

Among the uncertainty about what was the best thing to do, formal announcements inside the south tower instructed people to stay put, assuring them that the building was sound and the threat was limited to the other tower.

Some left, others stayed, some began to climb down and, when met with more announcements and other warning to stop or return, went back up. The decisions made in those instants proved to be of great importance, because many who chose to stay, were doomed (注定) when the second jet crashed into the south tower killing many and stranding (使„某物留在) many more in the floors above where the jet hit. One of those caught in indecision(犹豫不决) was the manager at Fuji Bank USA. Richard Jacobs of Fuji Bank left the 79th floor with the other office workers, but on the 48th floor they heard the announcement that the situation was under control. Several got in the lifts and went back up two minutes or so before the plane crashed into their floor.

21. From the passage , we know that the south tower was hit by the plane __________

A. at 8: 30 B. 18 minutes earlier than the north tower

C. at around 9: 06 D. at 8: 48

22. The underlined words “stay put” mean _________

A. stay in the building B. leave at once

C. put everything back and then leave D. keep silent

23. Which floor was hit by the second jet?

A. The 91st floor. B. The 71st floor.

C. The 60th floor. D. The 79th floor.

24. Few people would have died if __________

A. more announcements had been made B. people hadn’t used the lifts

C. the incident had happened on a weekend D. people chose to stay

People like different kinds of vacations. Some go camping. They swim, fish, cook over a fire and sleep outside. Others like to stay at a hotel in an exciting city. They go shopping all day and go dancing all night. Or maybe they go sightseeing to places such as Disneyland, the Tai Mahal or the Louvre.

Some people are bored with sightseeing trips. They don’t want to be “tourists”. They want to have an adventure— a surprising and exciting trip. They want to learn something and maybe help people too. How can they do this ? Some travel companies

and environmental groups are planning special adventures. Sometimes these trips are difficult and full of the world. Some volunteers spend two weeks and study the environment. Others work with animals. Others learn about people of the past. Would you like an adventure in the Far North ? A team of volunteers is leaving from Murmansk, Russia. The leader of this trip is a professor from Alaska. He’s worried about chemicals from factories. He and the volunteers will study this pollution in the environment. If you like exercise and cold weather, this is a good trip for you. Volunteers need ski sixteen kilometers every day.

Do you enjoy ocean animals ? You can spend two to four weeks in Hawaii. There, you can teach language to dolphins. Dolphins can follow orders such as “Bring me the large ball”. They also understand opposites. How much more can they understand ? It will be exciting to learn about these intelligent animals. Another study trip goes to Washington State and follows orcas. We call orcas “Killer Whale” , but they’ re really dolphins—the largest kind of dolphin. These beautiful animals travel together in family groups. They move through the ocean with their mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers. Ocean pollution is chasing their lives. Earthwatch is studying how this happens.

Are you interested in history ? Then Greece is the place for your adventure. Thirty-five hundred years ago a volcano exploded there, on Santorini. This explosion was more terrible than Krakatoa or Mount Saint Helens. But today we know a lot about the way of life of the people from that time. There are houses, kitchens, and paintings as interesting as those in Pompei. Today teams of volunteers are learning more about people from the past.

Do you want a very different vacation ? Do you want to travel far, work hard and learn a lot? Then an Earthwatch vacation is for you.

25.According to the passage, on an adventure trip, people ______________. A. may not spend much time on sightseeing B. won’ t meet some difficulties or hardships

C. can’t enjoy themselves . D. can’t learn anything

26. If you want to learn something about people of the past, you can ___________

A. join the team to Hawaii B. join the team to the Far North

C. join the team to Washington D. join the team to Greece

27. The word “intelligent” in paragraph 4 means __________________.

A. exciting B. beautiful C. large D. clever

28. Which of the following is false ?

A. Some people find sightseeing trips boring.

B. Earthwatch is planning various special adventures

C. The life of orcas is under threat.

D. Many volcano explosions broke out 3, 500 years ago in Greece.

The following is the story of a SARS patient named Wang and his fight with the disease.

I woke up around 6 : 30 this morning, on my ninth day in hospital since I caught

SARS.

Glancing over at my roommate, Xiao Huang, a 27-year-old employee of a Beijing software company, I saw he was also awake.

After a light breakfast, a nurse came in and took my temperature. It was 36.6 centigrade. We’re at Changxindian Hospital in southwestern Beijing, a newly named SARS patient hospital.

It seems I am now recovering as my fever has gone down in recent days. When I first got the disease , I spent four days with a temperature above 39.5 centigrade—at one point it reached 40. 1 centigrade.

At 8 : 30 am, a nurse took a blood sample and X-ray of my chest. Then my daily treatment began with the help of the experts from Guangdong and WHO.

Before the first bottle finished, my wife rang me. I talked with her on my mobile phone. It has become a major connection with the outside world. Several friends also called me in the morning.

I am feeling great these days—no fever, no headache and no pain in the chest, which are all symptoms(症状)of SARS. My slight cough is gone since I began taking a new round of medicines yesterday. The doctor told me that I may be set free from hospital in two weeks and a half.

29. Where is the hospital the writer stays at?

A. In the south of Beijing. B. To the east of Beijing.

C. In the southwest of Changxindian. D. In the southwest of Beijing.

30. How long does the writer have to stay altogether in the hospital before he is sent home? A. Seventeen days. B. Nine days

C. More than thirty days. D. More than twenty-five days.

31. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

A. When he first got the disease, his temperature once reached1 41.5 centigrade.

B. His medical treatment came after he had breakfast. C. He lived in a room of the hospital alone.

D. He talked with his wife by fax.

32. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the symptoms of SARS?

A. Having a high fever. B. Having a headache.

C. Feeling pain in the chest. D. Feeling cold all day.

What will man be like in the future—in 5000 or even 50, 000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.

Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’ s capacity. As time goes on , however , we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head,

He met her at a party. She was outstanding, but nobody paid any attention to him. After the party, he invited her for coffee. So as not to appear rude, she went along.

As they sat in a nice coffee shop, he asked the waiter, "Could you please give me some salt?" They were surprised, but when the salt came, he put it in his coffee and drank. Curious, she asked, "Why salt with coffee?" He explained, "When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea. I liked playing on the sea. I could feel its taste salty, like salty coffee. Now every time I drink it, I think of my childhood and my hometown. I miss it and my parents, who are still there."

She was deeply touched, for a man who can admit that he's homesick must love his home and care about his family must be responsible. That was the start to their love story.

Finally, they married and lived happily together. And every time she made coffee for him, she put in some salt, the way he liked it.【东北育才高一期末英语卷】

Physical activity not only has positive effects on children's physical health, but also boosts（促进）children's cognitive(认知的) abilities of learning, suggested researchers from University of Jyvaskyla in a latest study.

The study, published by the open access scientific journal PLOS ONE, examined how cognitive functions in school-age children.

A total of 224 children from five schools in the Jyvaskyla school district of Finland participated in the study.

The researchers measured the children's physical activity and sedentary time objectively(客观地) for seven days on end, and evaluated(评估) their self-reported physical exercises and screen time (time spent on computer, TV and games).

In addition, the children's cognitive functions including visual memory, executive(执行的) functions, attention and internal reliability were evaluated with a computerized Cambridge Neuropsychological(神经心理学) Test Automated Battery by using five different tests.

The result showed that a high level of objectively measured physical activity is associated with good performance in the attentional reaction time test. On the contrary, self-reported computer/video game play was negatively associated with working memory, whereas computer use was associated with weak shifting and flexibility(灵活性) of attention.

The positive effects of physical activity may be due to the fact that physical exercise promotes brain blood circulation and oxygen supply, as well as increases cardiovascular(心血管的) function that benefits attentional processes, the researchers explained.

24. This passage is about __________.

From Stephen Hawking to father of computer science Alan Turing, British heart-throb(令人醉心的) Benedict Cumberbatch has played quite a few geniuses on both the big and small screen. In real life, he also comes off as a truly brainy guy: He talks a lot at an incredible fast speed, like to use big words in the interviews, and recently he has fallen into the habit of wearing a pair of glasses that gives him a attractive geeky look.

We all want to look smarter than we really are, and there are ways to hide our cerebral (脑部的)shortcomings from others. The article cites(援引) a 2007 study of 182 graduate students conducted by researchers from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. In the study, some participants were asked to try to appear intelligent during a video-taped discussion with a partner. Other people were asked to watch the video and make a judgment of the participants’ likely IQ.

Researchers found that people trying to look intelligent has a few behaviors in common. Among them are looking at others while listening or speaking, sitting up straight, putting on a serious face and avoiding certain gestures, such as touching their hair or face. But only the first two of those behaviors earned them a high IQ score from people watching the video.

The observers also give higher IQ scores to participants who wore a self-assured(自信的) expression rather than a poker face, spoke clearly and pleasant expressive voice, and were

responsive to their conversation partners—gesturing, nodding and being engaged in the conversation.

Tiny details can also affect others’ perceptions(认知). You may have brilliant ideas to communicate in your work e-mail, but if you type the e-mail in the comic Sans font(字体), it could ruin the whole thing. According to The Atlantic article, a Princeton researcher found that a hard-to-read font made an author seem dumber, while a clean, simple typeface (Times New Roman, in the study) made him or her seem more intelligent.

28.Benedict Cunberbatch seems smart even in real life because____________.

A. he has acted many geniuses B. he talks a lot about brainy people.

C. he talks fast using big words. D. he looks attractive and cool

A. Cumberbatch is the most intelligent actor.

B. One should never put on a poker face.

C. Tiny details can be troublesome and ignored.

D. People with higher IQ scores are expected to be responsive.

30. According to the watchers, which of the following behaviors can be rated the highest score of intelligence?

A. looking at a conversation partner B. putting on a serious face

C. avoiding touching hair and face D. remaining silent and thinking

31. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Lead You to the Path of a Genius

B. Genius or Not, at Least You Can Look Like One

C. Benedict, Cumberbatch, Born to be a Genius Actor

D. Practical Ways to Make Good Impressions

A woman 44, had been pregnant for 13 weeks. Her daughter became unhappy after knowing the she was gong to have a brother or sister. Her anxiety reached its peak when she cut her wrist with a razor blade(刀片) in an attempted suicide(自杀).

Though this is an extreme case, for many it raises pressing questions about the only child generation’s understanding of family bonds(关系，纽带).

Xia Xueluan,71, a sociology professor at Peking University, believes family planning policy has created many young, willful ”emperors” and “empresses”. “Parents spoil their only children and as a result, many of them became self-centered and lacking in consideration for others,” he says.

On the other hand, growing up without brothers and sisters, many only children developed a watered-down（冲淡的）definition of kinship(亲属关系) and family bond, which in their eyes can only exist between parents and the only child, China Youth Daily reports.

Beginning in 2013, China cased(使失效) the family planning program and introduces the new policy to address the country’s declining labor force and aging population, which threatens to slow down the economy and create social problems.

Although 11 million couples are qualified for a second child, only 1 million applied to have one by the end of last year, figures from the National Health and Family Planning Commission show. In addition to worrying about losing time and money, many parents choose not to have a second baby out of concern for their first child, according to a survey by China Youth Daily.

“Self-centeredness negatively impacts how people handle interpersonal relationships in their lives and careers,” says Zhang Li, a commentator(评论员) on cnhubei.com, the official news website of Hubei’s provincial government.

“To handle self-centeredness early, parents should learn to teach their children to be loving so they will anticipate(期待) baby siblings(兄弟姐妹) with love in their hearts,” Fang Qingjiang says in Beijing Morning Post.

For those only children who have grown up and entered society, experts suggest they participate more in group activities, learn to put themselves into others’ shoes, and that they not always rely on their parents to deal with problems.

32. The function of the first paragraph is to _______________?

A. inform a piece of news B. arouse sympathy with the mother

C. find a solution to the problem D. invite the following discussion

33. According to Xia Xuanlan, ________ can be a cause of the self-centered generation.

A. parents’ spoiling their only children B. lack of consideration for others

C. ill relation with parents D. bad interpersonal skills

34. What can be inferred form the passage?

A. It has caused great public concern that children threat their parents with suicide

B. Parents’ spoiling their children leads to their lack of consideration for others.

C. Parents play an important role in educating their child to accept a future sister or brother.

D. There is no need to change anything if an only child has already entered society.

35. The passage is mainly about_________?

A. reasons behind the self-centered children B. a girl’s case of attempting suicide

C. children’s understanding of family bonds D. the main problem that the only children face

It may finally be time for your smart watch to talk to your doctor. Plenty of people wear fitness trackers. And plenty of doctors use electronic data to help with patient care. __36__IBM is aiming to change that by cooperating with other companies to collect and use more information from personal medical devices to help with patients' clinical care. Using its Watson supercomputer , IBM said that it will also be launching a whole Watson Health unit.

It's the latest move by IBM to chase the business potential that comes from processing massive amounts of data. The company has also recently announced the introduction of an "Internet of Things" business unit dedicated to helping companies collect and process information from sensors（传感器） embedded（嵌入） in everything from city streets to clothing. __37__.

John Kelly, a senior vice president at IBM Research and Watson architect, said that he thinks that the health-care industry is one of the most logical places to apply the supercomputer's power. "The cost of health-care continues to grow," he said. "We need better outcomes __38__.”

Physicians, he said, are already starting to embrace the use of digital records and data to increase care, through electronic health records as well as by monitoring data sent out by cardiac（心脏病的） device, insulin pumps（胰岛素泵）or other smart devices implanted(植入) in people's bodies. Down the line, some expect smart pills, with embedded chips, are to become far more commonplace.

__39__What many do have, however, are fitness devices made by companies such as Fitbit, Jawbone or, soon, Apple. That information, however, often doesn't get communicated to physicians for a number of reasons -- including that there's a pretty bright line between the privacy protections we apply to clinical data and consumer fitness data.

Questions on how to handle the privacy of medical data, perhaps among the most sensitive and certainly personal information devices collect, have been heavy on the minds of those in the medical and technology sectors for years. __40__ It's also among the most highly targeted for hackers.

A. But, of course, most consumers don't have that.

B. To control those problems, IBM is offering ways to obtain personal information from data collected by consumer devices

C. But it's also true that these data often never meet or limit the usefulness of it to patients.

D. Privacy advocates have repeatedly raised concerns that the collection of health and fitness data could lead to discrimination, data mining (数据挖掘) and inappropriate advertising.

E. we see a number of diseases that are exploding, from diabetes to cancer."

F. Those programs allow developers and physicians to collect health information of Apple users -- with permission -- by way of motion and other sensors within its mobile devices.

G. And Watson's applications to the health field have long been discussed as a potential business for IBM.
