第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节（共15个小题，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

I grew up poor. We had little money, but plenty of love and attention. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could still afford a dream. My dream was athletics.

By the time I was sixteen, I was good at baseball and football. My high-school coach was

Ollie Jarvis. He not only believed in me, but taught me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction(信念).

One summer a friend recommended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket--- cash for dates with girls, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother.

Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing. I was dreading(害怕) this, but my mother said, “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.”

When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as mad as I expected him to be. “Your playing days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them,” he said.

I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why I dreamed of buying my mom a house.

“How much are you going to make at this job, son?” he demanded.

“Three twenty-five an hour,” I replied.

“Well,” he asked, “is $3.25 an hour the price of a dream?”

That question laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to sports that summer, and within the year I was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play rookie-league ball, and offered a $20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $1.7 million, and bought my mother the house of my dream.

21.The writer was grateful to Coach Jarvis, because Jarvis________.

A. made him set a goal

B. supplied him with new clothes

C. gave him financial support

D. helped him show conviction

22.When the writer was offered a job, he wanted to ______.

A. balance summer baseball and the work schedule

B. refuse the job offer for summer baseball

C. give up summer baseball for the job

D. ask his coach Jarvis for advice

23.Which of the following can replace the underlined sentence?

A. You must eat the bitter fruit of your own making.

B. Believe in yourself, but above all be patient.

C. You must rely on yourself first, then others.

D. A good beginning makes a good ending.

24.The end of the story was that the writer ______.

A. failed to buy his mother a house

B. succeeded as a sportsman

C. became a successful businessman

D. made some money in the summer job

B

The holiday season is known as a festive and joyful time. But for some, it’s the most

painful time of year. For children who have lost a close family member, the holidays can be particularly difficult.

Unknown to many, grieving(伤心的) children are all around us. An estimated one in 20 American children will lose a parent before age 16, and the vast majority of children will experience a significant loss of some kind by the time they complete high school.

The death of a loved one often has a strong influence on a child--- one that is felt over the course of a lifetime. In a 2010 survey conducted by the New York Life Foundation and Comfort Zone Camp, more than half (57%) of adults who had lost a parent growing up said that they would trade an entire year of their life for one more day with that parent.

The death of a loved one causes complex and difficult emotions in children, including sadness, anger, loneliness, confusion and guilt. Such emotions can lead to depression, poor school performance and increased involvement in risky behavior.

Grieving children desperately need support from trusted adults to help them deal with death. But unfortunately, too many grieving children suffer all by themselves. Most adults who work with children--- including educators, school professionals and many in the social service profession--- have little or no training in how to help kids process their grief.

Even as we continue to broaden our bereavement(丧亲) support, progress in the field can’t come fast enough. The reality remains that many grieving children across the country are not seen or heard as they are in the face of damaging losses. We have an opportunity and a duty to make sure that grieving families receive adequate help and care.

In order to truly give grieving kids the attention and support they deserve, we all must acknowledge that, too often, grief is still an issue that hides in plain sight, and do our part to bring it further out into the open.

25.According to the second paragraph, the problem of grieving children_____.

A. has a long history

B. deserves great attention

C. is familiar to most people

D. is threatening the majority of children

26.Why does the author mention the 2010 survey?

A. To show the great influence of losing a parent.

B. To present the major problem adults are facing.

C. To prove that children have emotional problems.

D. To explain where children’s problems come from.

27.What does the author advise us to do to help grieving children?

A. Protect them from risky behavior.

B. Give them more time to forget the sadness.

C. Tell them that it’s no use being so sad for the loss.

D. Teach educators how to give bereavement support.

28.What is the best title for the text?

A. Dealing With the Death of a Loved One

B. Opening up to Grieving Children

C. Supporting Grieving Children

D. Dealing With Grief

C

In the country where I was born, eleven official languages are spoken. I’m not kidding! I can speak two fluently. One of these languages, Zulu, has a splendid greeting, “Sawubona”, which means “I see you” literally.

Isn’t this just an impressive way of recognition? Not just the stereotyped (模式化的) forms of greetings like “How are you?” “Hey” or “Good day”, but actually a powerful acknowledgement hidden in one word. And the Zulu response in this regard is “Ngikhona”, with the literal meaning of “I am here.” In this grateful response lies the awareness of “Until you saw me, I didn’t exist. By recognizing me, you brought me into existence.”

It made me think. When my daughter passed away six years ago, I couldn’t stand it when people asked me afterwards how I was. I wanted to yell at t hem, “How can you ask a mother something like that? Can’t you see it’s almost impossible to answer that question?” I really couldn’t understand why they were so cruel to me.

But now I realize people mean well by asking such questions. I also think we should put more thought into our general greetings-- by waiting for a proper answer and by being really interested in what the other person has to say. As a beautiful quote from Philip Toshio Sudo goes, “Speak directly from your heart to the heart of your liste ner, as if passing the flame of a candle.”

Sawubona, my dear friends.

29.Why does the author appreciate the greeting “Sawubona”?

A. It makes the speaker recognize his own existence.

B. It doesn’t belong to the traditional group.

C. It gives the listener a sense of existence.

D. It doesn’t require a fixed response.

30.How did the author feel when asked how she was six years ago?

A. Curious.

B. Grateful.

C. Shocked.

D. Annoyed.

31.In the author’s opinion, the most important factor in greetings is _____.

A. the sincerity

B. the custom

C. the directness

D. the background

D

By trying to tickle(挠痒痒) rats and recording how their nerve cells respond, ShimpeiIshiyama and his adviser are discovering a mystery that has puzzled thinkers since Aristotle expected that humans, given their thin skin and unique ability to laugh, were the only ticklish animals.

It turns out that Aristotle was wrong. In their study published on Thursday, Ishiyama and his adviser Michael Brecht found that rats squeaked and jumped with pleasure when tickled on their backs and bellies. These signs of joy changed according to their moods. And for the first time, they discovered a special group of nerve cells. These nerve cells made this feeling so powerful that it causes an individual being tickled to lose control.

To make sure that he had indeed found a place in the brain where tickling was processed,

Ishiyama then stimulated(刺激) that area with electrical currents. The rats began to jump like rabbits and sing like birds.

“It’s truly ground-breaking,”said Jeffrey Burgdorf, a neuroscientist at Northwestern University who reviewed the paper. “It takes the study of emotion to a new level.”

Burgdorf has played a central role in our understanding of animal tickling. He was part of a team that first noticed, in the late 1990s, that rats made special noises when they were experiencing social pleasure. Others had already noted that rats repeatedly made short and high sounds during meals. But the lab where Burgdorf worked noticed that they emitted similar sounds while playing. And so one day, the senior scientist in the lab said, “Let’s go and tickle some rats.” They quickly found that those cries of pleasure doubled.

“The authors have been very adventurous,”said Daniel O’Connor, a neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins University who studies touch. To him, that finding was very surprising.

“Why does the world literally feel different when you are stressed out?” he said. “This is the first step towards answering that question. It gives us a way to approach it with experimental rigor(严谨).”

32.What contributed to humans’ being ticklish according to Aristotle?

A. Their special skin.

B. Their social pleasure.

C. Their nervous system.

D. Their willingness to touch.

33.Why did the researchers make use of electrical currents?

A. To discover the special group of nerve cells.

B. To experiment on different animals.

C. To follow the process of tickling.

D. To prove their finding.

34.Which of the following statements will Jeffrey Burgdorf agree with?

A. The research process is full of risks.

B. The finding of the study is surprising and unbelievable.

C. The new discovery is beneficial for the study of emotion.

D. The finding of the study actually contradicts modern science.

35.What is the best title for the text?

A. The Life of Rats

B. How Rats Laugh

C. A Wonderful Scientist

D. A New Discovery about Rats

Some Expressions About Water

Expressions about water are almost as common as water. 36

The expression “in hot water” is one of them. It is a very old expression. “Hot water” was used five hundred years ago to mean being in trouble. One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot water down on enemies attacking a castle. When we are in hot water, we are in trouble.37 A young boy can be in hot water with his mother if he comes into the house with dirty shoes.

38 A company seeks to keep its head above water during economically hard times.

A man who loses his job tries to keep his head above water until he finds a new job.

Another common expression, “to hold water”, is about the strength of an idea or opinion that you may be arguing for. If it can hold water, it is strong and has no holes in it. If your argument can hold water, it is strong and does not have any holes. 39

“To throw cold water” is also an expression that deals with ideas or proposals. 40

For example, you want to buy a new car because the old one has some problems, but your wife throws cold water on the idea, because she says a new car costs too much.

A.It means disliking an idea.

B.You are in a difficult situation.

C.A person who breaks the law can be in hot water with the police.

D.If it does not hold water, then it is weak and not worth debating.

E.But many of the expressions using “water” have unpleasant meaning.

F.A man who has long been jobless will find it hard to make both ends meet.

G.“To keep one’s head above water” is a colorful expression that means managing to continue to live with great difficulty.

作文范文：

Boys and girls, the college entrance examination draws near. our preparations have also come to the final step. As monitor, I calls on everybody, my fellow classmates, to focus on the following besides your lessons. First of all, please ensure adequate sleep, since plenty of sleep makes us physically active and concentrate on what teachers say in class. Then in our busy and bound life, we ought to walk into nature, and be a part of it to refresh ourselves completely. At present, in the autumn sunshine, walking, jogging, even climbing mountains

are all good choices. Thirdly, taking necessary sports every day keeps us energetic and reduces our stress and thus we may gain the result of doing less but achieving more. Finally, I wish all of us great success in the college entrance examination.

That’s all. Thank you!
