第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）

第1节 （共15小题；每小题3分，满分45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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

The ruins of Moore, Oklahoma, a town destructed for the fourth time in 14 years by a major tornado（龙卷风）, are a reminder that current building codes(规范) can’t do much to prevent property destruction and loss of life, especially when a powerful tornado cuts through town. But the total death number can be reduced when people take shelter in underground storm bunkers（碉堡）and hardened safe rooms.

The tornado that carved a path of destruction through Moore took 24 lives. Its winds were clocked at 400 kilometers per hour. With only 15 minutes’ warning, residents fled town or took refuge（避难）in the firmest corners of their homes. The luckiest were able to climb into shelters or move to safe rooms.

In Moore those rooms saved lives. But at two schools destroyed by Monday's tornado, no such shelter was available. Leslie Chapman Henderson is CEO of a non-profit group called the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes. She's an advocate for tornado safe rooms.

“The safe room is an interior（内部）room of the home that has been reinforced（加固）and tested to withstand high wind. In fact, we’ve already heard of stories of survival of peoplewho were in safe rooms, either above or below ground,” she said.

Better storm forecasts give people more time to react. But they need someplace safe to go. Buildings can be built to resist strong winds, but not like those in the F-5 tornado that touched down in Moore. Chapman Henderson says even the building codes that do exist are not widely adopted or enforced.

As its residents prepare to rebuild, Moore’s mayor is pushing for an order to make safe rooms compulsory in all new construction. Similar proposals were made following each of the previous tornado strikes, but none were adopted.

25. According to Chapman Henderson, which of the following does she probably agree with?

A. Building codes make a difference in preventing property destruction.

B. If people take shelter in safe rooms, nobody will die.

C. It is urgent to build tornado safe rooms.

D. Safe rooms can be built only underground.

26. What can we infer from the text?

A. Moore has gone through tornado 4 times in total.

B. Chapman Henderson is Moore’s mayor.

C. Monday's tornado took 24 lives at two schools.

D. The Moore’s proposal might not be approved.

27. The underlined word “withstand ” in paragraph 4 probably means________.

A. oppose

B. resist

C. prevent

D. defeat

BDo American children still learn handwriting in school? In the age of the keyboard, some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out. 90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting. But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it. One study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for ten to fifteen minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for sixty to seventy minutes a day----which really is pretty much for handwriting.

Many adults remember learning that way----by copying letters over and over again. Today’s thinking is that short periods of practice are better. Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. Instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. After all, that is why we write.

Handwriting involves two skills. One is legibility, which means forming the letters so they can be read. The other is fluency － writing without having to think about it. Fluency continues to develop up until high school.

But not everyone masters these skills. Teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting. Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.

But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is rarely done in elementary school, especially in the earlyyears. American children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive, which connects the letters. But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board, which administers the SAT college admission test. More than 75% of students choose to print their essay on the test rather than write in cursive.

１. We can infer from the first paragraph that ______.

A. teachers spend little time in teaching handwriting.

B. most teachers attach importance to teaching handwriting.

C. handwriting teaching is not commonly required.

D. most teachers are at a loss how to teach handwriting

２. Which of the following about traditional handwriting in the USA is NOT true?

A. The students are taught by practicing a long period.

B. Printing is taught in preference to writing in cursive.

C. Handwriting is taught for its own sake.

D. Two skills get involved in handwriting.

３. Some American people consider handwriting not important any more because ______.

A. all the American children learn to print first

B. about 1/4 of the students choose to print their essay on the test

C. it is unnecessary to use handwriting in the age of keyboard

D. computers and voice recognition programs are widely used ４. ______ may serve as the best title for the passage.

A. Handwriting: fascinating in keyboard age

B. Right or wrong: the death of handwriting

C. Two skills involved in handwritingD. Handwriting lessons on the way out

C

Everyone has some opinion about history, no matter how

ill-informed. Walking through a parking lot in a university in Miami, I noticed a bumper sticker (车尾贴纸) that said, “Ruin a Liberal’s (自由派) Day—Recite Historical Fact!” But Marwick thinks this sort of opinion is just fine; it is unavoidable that we all feel a sense of ownership of history.

History never stands still, as Marwick says at the beginning of The Nature of History, “The shape and content of history, too, vary according to the methods and materials available to different generations.” Marwick’s goal is to explain, in plain language, the changes in the way history is done up to the present; one method is to connect history with advances in the physical sciences. Marwick examines a number of case studies toward the end of the book. He ends the book with a refreshing collection of aphorisms (格言) about history. History truly belongs to each and every man and we all belong to history; with the proper education, history can be made more accessible to everyone.

Marwick relates how inventions and the physical sciences have driven historical changes. Dropping a ball in a vacuum will reveal the same properties (性质) each time the experiment is conducted, providing the conditions are the same. But historians obviously do not have the luxury of reproducing such conditions; historians view the past through the present which depends on invention and science.By looking at the changing nature of history, Marwick feels the study progressing. Although Marwick suspects some people would accuse a historian of creating job security with the endless views of the past, he insists it is imperative based on the philosophy, science, and new materials of the age. History, according to Marwick, must be for everyone and not remain locked behind the walls of academia.

52. The author mentions the bumper sticker in order to ________.

A. show his own opinion about history

B. introduce the readers to Marwick

C. explain the freedom of understanding history

D. make the readers know about the argument between historians

53. Which of the following best describes the statement “History never stands still”?

A. Marwick explains the changes in the way history is done up to the present.

B. Marwick connects history with advances in the physical sciences.

C. He ends the book with a refreshing collection of aphorisms about history.

D. The shape and content of history vary according to the methods and materials available.

54. In paragraph 3, Marwick gives the example of dropping a ball in a vacuum to prove ________.

A. the changeable nature of history

B. the difficulty of historical study

C. changeable ways of historical study

D. the difficulty of scientific study

55. The text is intended to ________.

A. state a historian’s ideas

B. argue against a historian

C. attract readers to study history

D. describe the story of a historian

D

A recent report says we spend an average of two hours and 40 minutes each day looking at a smartphone. That doesn't mean making calls, but using apps and browsing the Web.

Spend that amount of time staring at anything. Checked our email in a restaurant, shared a picture of the food when it arrived, or checked a fact during a conversation only to be drawn into reading more instead of contributing verbally.

It's no secret our lives are being affected by our obsession with smartphones.

However, never before has this phenomenon been displayed so vividly as in the short film I Forgot My Phone. Despite only being online for a few days, it's already been viewed more than 10. 5 million times.

Ironically, 's statistics show that the site gets a billion views per day from mobile devices, so a lot of those people watched it on their phone.

The short film, written by and starring actress Charlene deGuzrnan, shows groups of people in various social situations, the majority of which are completely attracted bytheir phones instead of the world around them. It's depressing because we' ve all seen it, and sad because to a certain extent, we all do it.

32. What did the author think of looking at a smartphone?

A. Supporting.

B. Surprising .

C. Relaxing.

D. Concerning.

33. Which of the following can best replace the phrase "obsession with" in paragraph 2?

A. contribution to

B. addiction to

C. boredom by

D. annoyance about

34. Staring at smart phones for a long time, we may ．

A. communicate less with the people around us

B. chat more with the people online

C. enrich more knowledge

D .see more films online

35．By mentioning the 's statistics, the author wants to

A. criticize the people who watched the You Tube film

B. think highly of the film's popularity

C. inspect the people who watched the You Tube film

D. confirm the film's realitv

It doesn’t come as a surprise to you to 41 that it makes no

42 what you read or study if you can’t remember it. You just

43 your valuable time. Maybe you have already 44 some clever ways to keep yourself from forgetting.

One dependable aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a 45 purpose or reason for reading. You remember better what you read when you know why you’re reading.

Why does a clerk in a store go away and 46 you when your reply to her 47 to help is “No, thank you. I’m just looking?” Both you and she know that if you aren’t sure what you want, you are not 48 to find it. But suppose you say 49 , “Yes, thank you. I want a pair of sun glasses.” She says,“Right this way, please.”

It’s quite the same with your studying. If you choose a book at random, just looking for nothing 50 , you may end up with just that-nothing. But if you do know what you want, you are almost sure to get it. Your reasons will 51 ; they willinclude reading or studying “to find out more about”, “to understand the reasons for” and “to find out how”.

This is the way it 52 . Before you start to study, you say to yourself 53 like this. “I’m reading this article to find out why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write about America.” Or, “I’m going to skim this story to see what life was like in medieval England.” Because you know

54 you are reading or studying, you 55 the information to your purpose and remember it better.

Reading is not one single activity. At least two important 56 go on at the same time. As you read, you 57 ideas rapidly and accurately. But at the same time you express your own ideas to yourself as you 58 what you read. You have a kind of mental conversation with the author. If you expressed your ideas orally, they might sound like this: “Yes, I agree. That’s my opinion too.” Or “Ummm, I thought that sports record was 59 much earlier. I’d better check that date,” or “But there are some other facts to be considered!” You don’t just sit there acquiring information; you are also 60 between facts and opinions. Facts can be checked by evidence while opinions are one’s own personal reactions.

41. A. realize B. forget C. regret D. memorize

42. A. mistake B. decision C. difference D. contribution

43. A. seize B. save C.

own D. waste

44. A. remembered B. uncovered C.searched D. discovered

45. A. general B. specific C. current D. permanent

46. A. complain B. leave C.

desert D. accompany

47. A. invitation B. standard C.

offer D. greeting

48. A. possibly B. probable C.

possible D. likely

49. A. rather B. instead C. though D. therefore

50. A. in order B. in particular C. in detail D. in practice

51. A. vary B. change C.

measure D. distract

52. A. affects B. works C. exists

D. improves

53. A. everything B. anything C. nothing D. something

54. A. when B. how C.

why D. where

55. A. relate B. put C. contribute D. appoint

In fact, he didn’t have the opportunity to play for long in each game 61 the rules at that time made sure everyone should participate in the game. In one game, with the score tied and time 62 (run) out, he was playing a defensive position. The other team’s star player got 63 ball but my son was in his way. Somehow, when they met, the result was that the star player (fall) on the ground and my son got the ball. He ran with 65 and had a clear path to the goal. His coach jumped up and down 66 (yell) “go” and most of the parents yelled for victory. When my son kicked the ball several yards towards the goal, he 67 (sudden) stopped and went back to the star player, helping him up. When we all got 68 (enthusiasm) about the game and forgot about basic values of fairness and fun, my son helped a player of the other team. Deeply

69 (touch) after the game, I hugged my son with 70 (proud). I was so glad that my son knew there wassomething more important than winning.

第3节 书面表达

Dear Editor,

I am a high school student who will graduate next year. Since I entered Grade Three, I have found that some students in our class study harder than before. They study late into night, eating snacks and drinking Coca-Coca, which is bad fortheir health and even leads to many students becoming fatter and fatter. In the morning , due to staying up too late, some students are not able to get up in time and often have to go to school without breakfast, which is also a bad habit and will surely do great harm to their health.

In my personal opinion, important as studies are, health should also be taken seriously. Faced with such heavy study pressure, not only should we try to eat in a healthy way, but we also should get as much rest as possible. Meanwhile, we should properly arrange our study time among the subjects, avoiding spending too much time on some special subjects. Only in his way can we keep fit and study effectively.

I wonder if you can agree with me. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Your faithfully,

Li Hua
