第二部分：阅读理解（共2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、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Many countries follow special customs when a child’s baby teeth fall out. Many of these customs tell stories about animals taking the teeth.

For example, Koreans have the custom of throwing the fallen tooth onto the roof of a house so that a magpie (喜鹊) can take the tooth away and bring a new tooth for the child. This custom is also followed by some other Asian countries, such as Japan and Vietnam.

Other countries, though, have tooth customs about other animals. In Mexico and Spain, for example, it is thought that a mouse takes a fallen tooth away and leaves some money. But in Mongolia, it is dogs that take children’s teeth away. Dogs are highly respected in Mongolian culture. It is believed that the new tooth will grow strong if the baby tooth is fed to a dog, so parents in Mongolia will put their children’s fallen teeth in a piece of meat and feed it to a dog.

In France and the USA, a child will put a fallen tooth under his or her pillow before going to bed. It is thought that in the early morning, when the child is still sleeping, the Tooth Fairy will take the tooth away and leave something else under the pillow. What she will leave is hard to know. It is said that in France the Tooth Fairy may leave some candies; however, in the United States, she may leave money.

21．Koreans throw a tooth onto the roof of a house in order to __________.

A. get money

B. feed magpies

C. get a new tooth

D. get candies

22．In Vietnam, if a child’s tooth falls out, he or she will __________.

A. feed it to a mouse

B. throw it onto the roof of a house

C. put it in a piece of meat and feed the meat to a dog

D. leave it to the Tooth Fairy 23．From the last paragraph, we can know that in France and the USA _________.

A. a child will put his or her fallen tooth beside the pillow

B. the Tooth Fairy takes the fallen teeth away at midnight

C. the Tooth Fairy will leave some candies to the children after taking the fallen teeth away

D. no one knows for sure what the Tooth Fairy will leave to the children after taking the fallen teeth away

24．The passage is mainly about ___________.

A. customs about fallen teeth in western countries

B. customs about fallen teeth in different countries

C. stories about human teeth

D. stories about some animals

B

When the dog named Judy spotted the first sheep in her life, she did what comes naturally. The four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and, being a city animal, lost both her sheep and her sense of direction. Then she ran along the edge of cliff( 悬崖) and fell 100 feet, bouncing off a rock into the sea.

Her owner Mike Holden panicked and celled the coastguard of Cornwall, who turned up in seconds . Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90-minute search.

Three days later, a hurricane h it the coast near Cornwall. Mr. Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead. He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.

For the next two weeks, the Holdens were heartbroken. Then, one day, the phone rang and Steve Tregear, the coastguard of Cornwall, asked Holder if he would like his dog bark.

A birdwatcher, armed with a telescope, found the pet sitting desperately on a rock. While he sounded the alarm, a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.

The dog had initially been knocked unconscious(失去知觉的)but had survived by drinking water from a fresh scream at the base of the cliff. She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge. “The dog was very thin and hungry,” Steve Tregear said , “It was a very dog. She survived because of a plentiful supply of fresh water,” he added.

It was ,as Mr. Holden admitted, “a minor miracle(奇迹)”.

A. rescuing her owner

B. running after a sheep

C. blocked by a rock

D. caught in a hurricane

26. Who spotted Judy after the accident?

A. People like to travel with their pets.

B. Judy was taken to the fields for hunting.

C. Luck plays a vital role in Judy's survival.

D. Holden cared little where Judy was buried.

28. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Coming Back from the Dead.

B. Surviving a Hurricane.

C. Dangers in th e Wild

D. Miracle of the Coastguard.

D

Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be game of some kind football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering（登山）.

Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their relaxation.

Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore (忽略), but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.

If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big dif ference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this.

There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are

on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.

The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more

powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental

and physical qualities.

A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier (滑雪者) is

probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are

in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with

more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.

32． The main difference between a sport and a game lies in ______.

A. activity

B. rules

C. uniform

D. skills

33． Mountaineering can be called a team sport because ______.

A. mountaineers depend on each other while climbing

B. teams compete against each other

C. it is an Olympic event

D. there are five climbers on each

team

34． Mountaineers compete against ______.

A. each other

B. other teams

C. nature

D. international standards

35． Which of the following might be the best title?

A. How to Climb High Mountains

B. Mountain Climbers

C. Challenging Sports Activities

D. Mountaineering

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。

Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar

is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently.

36

First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult

job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is

to listen as often as possible.

__37____ The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from https://www.wendangku.net/doc/5016840612.html,. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.

Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated(受阻) by limited understanding._____38____ Here is some of the advice I give my students: ▲Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.

▲Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times.

▲Do not translate everything into your native language.

▲_____39_____Don’t concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas.

▲Listen to something yo u enjoy.

I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn’t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion._____40_____Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didn’t pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.

A. What should you do?

B. But you can’t follow a native English speaker at all!

C. But listening is a problem for most of the beginners?

D. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.

E. So, what you need to do is to find listening resources.

F. Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts.

G. However, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany.

Dear Charlie,

How are you? I’m writing to ask you for some favours.

I’ve been dreaming of visiting beautiful London since I was a child. I’m so excited that my dream will come true. I will have a one-week trip to London from October 1st to 7th. Since you are familiar with London, I hope you can recommend some tourist attractions that are well worth seeing. As this is the first time I have traveled abroad, could you possibly pick me up at the airport? I would be grateful if you could help me book a hotel room in advance. I’m sure my trip would be an unforgettable experience with your kind help.

Looking forward to your early reply.

Yours,
