第二部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)

第一节　(共15小题;每小题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。

A

Thirteen government officials have been punished and a man arrested for presenting false evidence to prove the highly endangered South China tiger existed in the wild.

The Shaanxi provincial government said Sunday that farmer Zhou Zhenglong had fudged some photographs for the purpose.The government had earlier claimed the photos were real.

The 54­year­old farmer from Zhenping county，who claimed to have photographed the “tiger” with a digital camera on October 3 last year，was arrested for alleged fraud on Saturday，said Bai Shaokang，spokesman for the Shaanxi provincial public security bureau.The provincial forestry department has revoked(取消，收回)his 20,000­yuan reward($2,915)too.

Experts believe the South China tiger is the progenitor of all the living tiger species.

Its number in the wild had fallen between 30 and 80 by 1996.Now，it is widely believed to have become extinct in the wild.

Bai said police have seized the old tiger photograph，which Zhou borrowed from a farmer in another village in September to fudge his photos.A tiger paw made of wood，which he used to create pug marks on snow，has been seized too.

Zhou had insisted that he “risked his life to take the photos of a real tiger”.

Police have found the exact spot where Zhou took the photos.It is in Madaozi forest,15 km from Wencai village in Zhenping，and is 2,000 m above the sea level，Bai said.“It is a small area with few tall trees not a suitable habitat for a tiger.”

Police discovered that “trees” near the South China tiger in Zhou’s photograph were just 0.8 cm in diameter.And calculations showed the “tiger” would have been only 27cm long.

36.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?

A.A lot of people are involved in presenting evidence to prove the tiger has been extinct.

B.The local government had accepted the photos and claimed they were real.

C.The South China tiger is the progenitor of all the tiger species.

D.The spot where Zhou took the photos is a suitable habitat for a tiger.

答案　B

解析　细节理解题。由文中第一句“Thirteen government officials...”可知A项错误;由第二段最后一句“The government had earlier...”可知B项正确。C项和原文相比较缺少了关键词“living”，而D项漏掉了“not”，因此C、D两项皆错。

37.The underlined word “fudge” means________.

A.捏造，伪造  B.拍照

C.制造  D.计划

答案　A

解析　考查文章的隐含信息。由华南虎的照片竟然是假的这一中心内容来推测句中的“fudeg”词义，可知A项为最佳选项。

38.Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

A.Shots of tiger in the world is not real

B.Zhou and his “tiger”

C.The South China tiger is extinct

D.How did Zhou fudge some photos

答案　A

解析　考查文章的整体信息。文章主要论述了华南虎照片为假这一事实，故A项正确。“in the world”意为“竟然”，B、C、D三项所陈述的内容比原文小，故不选。

39.How many people are involved in the case according to the passage?

A.13  B.14  C.15  D.16

答案　B

解析　由文中第一段“Thirteen government officials have been punished and a man arrested...”可知B项正确。

B

If something happens that makes you feel angry，try these things to help prevent angry feelings from building up inside.

1)Exercise.Go for a walk，work out，or go to play a sport.Lots of research has shown that exercise is a great way to improve your mood and decrease negative feelings.

2)Write down your thoughts and emotions.You can write things in lots of ways，for example，in a journal or as your own poetry or song lyrics(歌词).After you’ve written it down，you can keep it or throw it away—it doesn’t matter.The important thing is，writing down your thoughts and feelings can improve how you feel.When you notice，label，and release feelings as they show up in smaller portions，they don’t have a chance to build up inside.

3)Think deeply or practice deep breathing.This method is the best one among all the tips if you do it regularly，as it’s more of an overall stress management technique that can help you use self­control when you’re mad.If you do this regularly，you’ll find that anger is less likely to build up.

4)Talk about your feelings with someone you trust.Lots of times there are other emotions，such as fear or sadness，beneath anger.Talking about them can help.

These ideas can be helpful for two reasons：

1)They help you cool down when you feel like your anger might explode.When you need to cool down，do one or more of the activities in the list above.Think of these as alternatives(可选择的办法)to taking an action you’ll regret，such as shouting at someone.Some of them，like writing down feelings，can help you release tension and begin the thinking process at the same time.

2)They help you manage anger in general.What if there’s no immediate problem to solve—you simply need to shift into a better mood?Sometimes when you’re angry，and you have no better way to manage anger although you have tried your best，you just need to stop dwelling on how mad you are.

40.The passage is mainly about________.

A.some ways that help solve immediate problems

B.how to deal with angry feelings

C.some kinds of anger that people often feel

D.how to manage tension

答案　B

解析　根据第一段“...to help prevent angry feelings from building up inside”可知，本文主要介绍的是抑制怒火的方法。

41.If you write down your feelings，you may________.

A.create some poetry

B.improve the way you feel

C.make your mood worse

D.discover something about yourself

答案　B

解析　根据第三段“The important thing is，writing down your thoughts and feelings can improve how you feel”可知，答案为B。

42.According to the passage，the best way for people to feel better is to________.

A.think deeply or practice deep breathing regularly

B.go for a walk regularly

C.write down their thoughts and emotions

D.have a talk with people they trust

答案　A

解析　根据第四段“Think deeply or practice deep breathing.This method is the best one among all the tips if you do it regularly...”可知，答案为A。

43.You will probably feel regretful if you________.

A.are hurt by other people’s anger

B.throw away what you have written about your feelings

C.show your anger to others

D.find ways to comtrol anger

答案　C

解析　根据第七段“Think of these as alternatives to taking an action you’ll regret，such as shouting at someone”可知，当对别人发火后，自己可能会后悔。

Move Earth—it’s no science fiction

LONDON—Scientists have found an unusual way to prevent our planet from overheating：move it to a cooler spot.All you have to do is send a few comets(彗星)in the direction of Earth，and its orbit will be changed.Our world will then be sent spinning into a safer，colder part of the solar system.

This idea for improving our climate comes from a group of US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) engineers and American astronomers.They say their plan could add another six billion years to the useful lifetime of our planet—effectively doubling its working life.

The plan put forward by Dr. Laughlin，and his colleagues Don Korycansky and Fred Adams，needs carefully directing a comet or asteroid so that it passes close by our planet and sends some of its gravitational energy to Earth.

“Earth’s orbital speed would increase as a result and we would move to a higher orbit away from the Sun，”Laughlin said.

Engineers would then direct their comet so that it passed close to Jupiter or Saturn.The comet would pick up energy from one of these giant planets.Later its orbit would bring it back to Earth，and the process would be repeated.

In the short term，the plan provides an ideal way to global warming，although the team was actually concerned with a much greater danger.The sun is certain to heat up in about a billion years and so “seriously compromise” our biosphere(生物圈)—by cooking us.

That’s why the group decided to try to save Earth.

The plan has one or two worrying aspects，however.For a start，space engineers would have to be very careful about how they directed their asteroid or comet towards Earth.The smallest miscalculation(误算)in orbit could fire it straight at Earth—with deadly consequences.

There is also the question of the Moon.As the current issue of Scientific American magazine points out，if Earth was pushed out of its current position it is “most likely the Moon would be stripped away from Earth，” it states.This would greatly change our planet’s climate.

44.What makes the scientists plan to move Earth?

A.A few comets are moving to the direction of Earth.

B.Earth’s working life is coming to an end soon.

C.Earth will become too hot for mankind to keep alive.

D.The moon is moving farther and farther away from Earth.

答案　C

解析　文章首句说科学家们找到了一种非同寻常的办法防止地球过热，第六段又说该计划提供了解决地球变暖问题的理想办法，但科学家们真正关心的是更大的危险：大约十亿年以后太阳肯定会更炙热，以至于将人类化为灰烬。

45.If the plan is successful，Earth will have a working life of________years.

A.12 billion  B.6 billion

C.18 billion  D.24 billion

答案　A

解析　据文章第二段末句可知答案。注意关键词语：another six billion years，doubling its working life。

46.What serious problems might the plan cause according to the passage?

A.The comet might hit Earth and man might lose the moon.

B.Earth might be moved too far away and man might be frozen to death.

C.The comet might hit Jupiter or Saturn and never return to Earth.

D.Earth’s working life might be greatly shortened.

答案　A

解析　最后两段分别指出该计划可能带来的两大恶果：一是万一轨道计算出错会使被控星体撞向地球，二是地球脱离原轨道后很可能会失去月球，从而导致气候巨变。

47.What does the underlined word “compromise” mean?

A.provide  B.benefit

C.share  D.endanger

答案　D

解析　本题可用排除法排除不符合文意的答案。全句意为：大约十亿年以后阳光肯定会更加炙热，从而严重损害地球的生态环境——把人类烤为灰烬!

D

We have known for some time that college students coming from Japan and Taiwan to study in the United States do better than their American peers(同龄人)in maths and science.These general impressions of Asian superiority(优势)in mathematics and science were proved by studies were made in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

In these studies，the average score of American kindergarteners was below those from Japan.In first grade the difference increased，and by fifth grade it was very large.Moreover,60 fifth grade classes in Japan，Taiwan，and the United States were compared in mathematics.The average score of the highest scoring American classroom was below that of all the Japanese classrooms and all but one of the Chinese classrooms.

Why is this so?Are the Asian students born smarter?A series of studies in 1986 and 1987 raised these questions，and their findings seem to point the American and Asian school systems have certain features in common.But the differences are striking.Test scores on nation­wide examinations determine entry into high school and college in both Japan and Taiwan，but not in the United States.Career paths too are more closely linked to educational achievements in Japan and Taiwan.As a result，far more pressure is given to even very young children to study hard and succeed in school in both Japan and Taiwan than those in the United States.

These are also striking differences in classroom instruction.By fifth grade，for example，the U.S.children were observed to spend an average of only 19.6 hours per week in academic activities in comparison with the Taiwanese and Japanese children of 40.4 and 32.6 hours per week，respectively.What is more，the U.S.children spent less of their academic time on mathematics.By fifth grade，the U.S.classrooms averaged 3.4 hours  per week on maths compared to 11.4 hours in Taiwan and 7.6 hours in Japan.

48.The primary purpose of this passage is to ________.

A.show Asian superiority in maths and science to the American students

B.compare the American educational practices with those of Asians

C.warn the American government of the educational problems

D.criticize the American educational system

答案　A

解析　由第一段后半部分可知。

49.Asian students in the U.S.do better in maths and science than their American peers because________.

A.Americans are less interested in maths and science than Asians

B.Asian students are cleverer than the American children

C.Asian students spend more time in academic activities

D.All of the above

答案　C

解析　由第四段可知。

50.Which of the following is NOT one of the differences between the American and the Asian school systems? ________

A.Entrance into high school does not depend on test scores on national exams in the U.S..

B.Academic achievements are more closely related to job­hunting in Asian countries.

C.Children start kindergarten earlier in Asian countries than in the United States.

D.Asian students pay more attention to classroom activities than Americans.

答案　C

解析　文中没有比较孩子上幼儿园年龄大小的问题。

第二节　(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good，most would admit that their spoken English is poor.Whenever I speak to a Chinese student，they always say，“My spoken English is poor.”__51__ I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.

First，they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary.__52__However，you can speak with a limited vocabulary，if you choose a positive attitude.Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.

__53__Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous.Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY.Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly.However，in speaking your aim is fluency.You want to get your message across，to talk to someone in English，as quickly and as well as you can，even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense，but it doesn’t matter.__54__

The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening.You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.

Fourth，most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners.Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor.__55__

A.The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.

B.They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.

C.Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.

D.If you have this proactive outlook，then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.

E.However，their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”!

F.Second，they are afraid of making mistakes.

G.The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned.

【参考范文】

Dear Sir or Madam，

I’m writing to ask for your help to deal with the terrible traffic here.Just near where I live，there’s a busy street.Almost every day during the rush hours，there are traffic jams.All cars and buses and other vehicles are making a lot of noise.You can imagine how bothering it is to walk through this street.

As a matter of fact，it’s not impossible for this problem to be solved.In my view，the best way is to encourage more people to ride a bike to work every day.Also，we should limit the number of cars on the street according to different weekdays.Last but not least，we should broaden the street.And I’m sure the present situation will be completely changed if these measures are taken.

I do hope you can pay special attention to my request and I’ll be waiting for your early reply.

Best regards!

Yours，

Li Hua
