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

Rob Frenette had problems with bullies(欺辱) at school for eleven years. He was often lonely and scared. When he was fifteen, however, he decided to do something about his problems. He walked into a newspaper office and told them about the bullying. His story went into the newspaper and soon all the TV stations in Canada wanted to talk to him about his experiences. They also wanted to hear his ideas to stop bullying.

After that, Rob continued his studies at school, but in his free time he helped other people with bullying problems. With a friend Katie Neu, he made a website called www. bullyingcanada. ca. Visitors to the website can find advice, stories and poems about bullying, in both English and French. When people are upset, they can talk on the phone or online to Rob and his team. Every weekend Rob has to answer e-mails to the website. He also speaks to children, teachers and members of government around the country about bullying.

Rob’s most important message is: “When bullies are unkind to you, it isn’t your fault. There’s

nothing wrong with you, so you should try to keep trusting yourself. And remember that people care about your problems. You just have to find those people.”

One of Rob’s ideas is “Blue Day”, a special day for stopping bullying in schools. Students have to wear blue clothes and in class they learn how to stop bullying. More than 150 Canadian schools now celebrate Blue Day, but Rob won’t stop until there’s a Blue Day in every school in Canada. 16. How did Rob often feel at school before he was fifteen? A. Relaxed. A. four.

B. Unhappy. B. seven

D. Tired. D. fifteen

B. people who help others with bullying problems

19. The underlined part “those people” in Paragraph 3 means _____. A. people who always bullied others before

C. people who are members of the government D. people who write e-mails about their problems 20. What was the correct order in which these events happened? a. Rob and his friend made a website. c. Rob created “Blue Day”. A. b-d-a-c

You need some bread and milk. But half an hour later, you leave the supermarket with a trolley(手推车) full of food. What games do supermarkets play to make us spend so much money?

The tricks usually start before you walk in. Outside the supermarket entrance, anybody who walks past can smell warm, fresh bread. That makes us hungry and ready to buy lots of food, not just bread.

Now you’re inside and, of course, a small basket would be fine, but all they have are trolleys. And of course the problem with a trolley is that it looks sad and lonely with just one or two products inside. So we may fill it with something. In fact, supermarket trolleys are actually getting bigger so that we buy more.

Of course, many people shop in supermarkets because they think everything is cheaper than in other shops. So supermarkets offer very cheap prices on some things but then have higher prices for other products. One new trick is to put red stickers on products. Customers usually connect red stickers with

lower prices so the red stickers is easy to be noticed, even when there is no reduction! Interestingly, this trick appears to work more with men than with women.

There is a story behind the position of everything in the supermarket. For example, customers often go only to buy milk. So they put it right at the back, forcing you to go past hundreds of shelves full of other products. The position of products on each shelf is also important. The most expensive products are usually at eye-level so you see these immediately. The exception is anything that children might like. These products are on lower shelves so that kids see them.

Apart from what you see and smell in a supermarket, what about what you listen to? In most supermarkets they have soft, slow music. It’s so relaxing that you slow down and spend more time (and money) in the store. You also move more slowly when the supermarket is busy. Experts suggest it’s better to shop when it’s quieter, on a Monday or a Tuesday for example. And be careful with queues at the checkouts. These are sometimes deliberate(故意), to make you buy something from the checkout shelves while you wait.

So, next time you go into your local supermarket, remember these tricks and see if you can come with just the things you went for.

25. Smells from bread in the supermarket ______. A. make you feel hungry and buy more food C. make you buy less bread than you need A. supermarkets don’t usually have many C. it’s easy to go shopping with trolleys A. make them look more beautiful

B. draw your attention to bread only D. force you to leave the supermarket B. baskets are too small to hold many products D. a trolley can hold one or two products inside B. make them different from cheaper ones D. make people think they could save money B. on each shelf D. on the back shelves B. close on Monday morning D. make customers feel relaxed

26. Supermarkets don’t provide baskets because ______.

27. According to the passage, supermarkets put red stickers on products to ______. C. make people think the stickers are for men A. on higher shelves C. on lower shelves

28. According to the passage, toys for children are usually placed ______.

29. It can be learned from Paragraph 6 that supermarkets usually ______. A. stop people lining up at the checkouts C. play loud and noisy music inside 30. The passage is mainly about _____.

A. several ways supermarkets use to sell more products B. some advice when people go shopping on the street C. several rules that every business should follow D. some advertisements that make people buy more 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）

Travel Tips for Holidays Abroad

Everyone loves holiday abroad. They give us the chance to see some sights, have some fun and relax. However, holidays aren’t always a great experience. Follow these tips to make sure you enjoy your holiday. 31. _______

Have you packed your passport? Your tickets? Every year, thousands of people miss flights because they’ve forgotten their passport, they arrive at the airport too late, or even go to the wrong airport. 32. _______

How much do you know about the place you are going to visit? Learning a little about the culture of a country will help you understand the people. Learning a few words of another language can also help you make new friends. 33. _______

Try to reduce the pollution you cause. Travel by train if you can. Flying produces twenty times more carbon dioxide than traveling by train. Of course, it might be impossible to avoid flying, but when you arrive, use buses or trains instead of taxis. 34. _______

You can help a local community a lot by staying in local hotels and eating in local restaurants. This means that your money will go to local people, rather than to a large international company. 35. _______

You don’t want to forget your holiday. Make a scrapbook-a book of memories-about your holiday. You can show it to friends, or just use it to remember all the good times you had! And don’t forget the new friends you made on holiday. Did you promise to send them pictures or presents? Don’t forget to do it! Then next time you go on holiday, you can visit them again.

Do you like to know how other people see the world? Listed below are three of the best books for children.

Oliver is a lost little boy. He doesn’t know anybody and is afraid in a big city. One day he meets Patch, a little dog who is also lost. The two become best friends. They help each other. Together they have an adventure in the city. However, Oliver knows that Patch’s owner must be very worried and

Oliver and Patch

missing Patch. What should Oliver do?

This is a young girl’s story about how she wants to become a ballerina (芭蕾舞演员). She will do anything to make her dreams come true. She lives in a poor place, and it is very difficult. The young girl fights through a hard life, but she never gives up. This story comes from the true life of the first African-American ballerina, Janet Collins.

A Dance Like Starlight: One Ballerina’s Dream

Alfie is not very smart and he is not sporty, either. He is not very tall, and he is not good at art. Because of this, he feels like he will not be good at anything. Now he meets Calista, his new babysitter(保姆). Calista helps Alfie see all of the good things he can do. Alfie learns to be proud of being himself. This story is full of feeling and laughter.

Absolutely Almost

( ) 31. The three books are mainly written for _______.

B

If you meet a British person in the street, it is very likely that he or she will apologize whether it is his or her fault (过错) or not.

It seems that Britain is becoming a nation where everyone is saying sorry. Almost each person says sorry about eight times each day—and one in eight people apologize as many as 20 times a day.

As you may have seen, the British apologize more often than members of other cultures. A research shows that in many cases, people’s

love of saying sorry in Britain goes a little further than it does for Americans. For example, about 15 British people would say ”sorry” while only 10 from the US would do this if they sneezed, if they corrected someone’s mistake of if someone knocked into them.

In the old days, “sorry” was used to express regret and sadness for having done something wrong. But now British people use the expression as a way of showing good manners. For example, they might say “sorry” instead of “excuse me”, “pardon”, “what” or “whatever”.

People in Britain also use sorry when they share the same feeling with others—so they might say

第 2 页 共 6 页

“sorry about the rain”.

However, British people’s use of “sorry” may make things very confusing (迷惑不解) and difficult for foreigners who are not familiar with their ways. But actually, people in Britain pay much attention to the feelings of others. This is the very reason why they apologize every day. ( ) 34. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. What daily expressions British people often use. B. How people in Britain keep in touch with foreigners. C. The different meanings of sorry in and out of Britain. D. Why British people say sorry many times every day.

( ) 35. In the old days, people said sorry when they _______.

A. did something wrong

B. asked the way D. made a choice

C. wanted to repeat something

( ) 36. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Americans say sorry more than British people. B. Even British people get confused when they say sorry. C. Almost every person in Britain says sorry 20 times a day. D. The British also say sorry to share the same feeling with others.

( ) 37. From the passage we can learn that British people _______.

A. like to talk about the weather C. are difficult to get along with

C

For many years, scientists have known that laughing is good for the health of our minds and bodies. Now we are learning that it’s not just laughter. Having fun and playing are also good for us! Researchers have found that play is good for people of all ages. Play actually leads to the growth of more nerve connections in the brain and gives us more brain power.

Play is necessary during childhood. As children play, they learn how to make friends and relate to others. They develop their imaginations and become more creative. Kids carry these qualities with them as they grow older.

Amy Whitcomb teaches maths at a school in San Francisco. For several years, she has used games to teach maths. In one class, students play a game with small bags of candy to figure out how many pieces in the bags are red. When they get the correct answer, they can eat the candy! Amy says, ”If it’s not fun, they’re not going to want to be there. They’re not going to want to learn.”

The spirit of playfulness continues through the teenage years into adulthood (成人期). The famous company Google, for example, keeps a lot of toys and games at different places in their offices and encourages people to use them. Their motto is “Work hard. Play hard.” They know that people often get their best ideas when they are just ”playing around ” and let their imaginations go wild.

So next time you have to solve a difficult maths problem or can’t think of a topic for an article, take a short play break. Do a little dance, or play a quick game. Then come back to it. Maybe you’ll be surprised at what your brain can do.

( ) 38. The example of the company Google is given to show that _______.

A. play is also fit for adults

B. everyone there works hard D. it is very famous in the world

C. they have a lot of toys and games A. look after

B. care a lot about others D. love to correct mistakes

( ) 39. The underlined expression”figure out” in Paragraph 3 probably means _______.

B. solve the problem of

C. draw a picture of D. play a joke on

B. have to do some homework D. find a job in a big company B. How children grow D. Work hard, play hard

( ) 40. According to the passage, you need to play if you _______.

A. want to make friends with others C. fail to think of a topic for an article A. A maths lesson

Huw Thomas fell in love with Megan. But then an accident changed his life, and he had to move to Canada. Megan promised to write to him. But Huw never heard from her ... until one day a letter arrived.

He saw the letter came from where he and his father had lived in their early years. Who was writing to him? He turned the envelope (信封) over in his hands several times. Then he took out the letter and read: Dear Huw,

I don’t know if this letter will reach you, and I don’t really know why I’m writing to you after all these years, but ...

Huw turned to the end of the letter and saw: Best wishes Megan

He couldn’t believe it. He turned back to the first words of the letter and read:

... after all these years, but I’ve just found your letters to me from Canada. Believe me, this was the first time I’d read them and they made me cry, even after 50 years. I found them in a box of my father’s papers. They were never opened.

Huw, I never knew that you’d written to me. I thought your new life in Canada had made you forget me. Now I realize that my father kept your letters. I can still remember asking him if there was any letter for me, and he always said “ ▲ , my girl. I told you he was no good.” Finally, after about a year, I believed him.

But why did he keep the letters? Do you think he wanted me to find them when it was too late? Anyway, he’s dead now, so I can’t ask him. All I can say is I’m sorry. Sorry for what my father did, sorry that you never heard from me and sorry for… everything.

I hope that at least this letter reaches you. Of course, I’ll understand if you don’t want to write back to me, but if you do, I am still Megan Jenkins, and I still live at the same address.

Best wishes, Megan

Huw read the letter again. Everything with Megan came back to him. He had never forgotten her. He couldn’t. Every day he looked at her face on the wall. He had a drawing of her. It had traveled everywhere with him. But to hear from her again …

“Are you all right, Dad?” asked Mike, coming into the room.

(Adapted from Two Lives by Helen Naylor)

( ) 42. Why did Huw turn to the end of the letter before he finished the rest of it?

A. Because he was not interested in the beginning. B. Because he didn’t like to read letters from Megan. C. Because he wanted to finish reading it in a short time.

六、任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）

下面是一封来自美国的邮件，内容是你们班同学去San Francisco旅游的相关须知。请你阅读该邮件，然后将其中的要点分条列出，张贴在班级的告示栏中。 To: Subject: Hi, Li Ming,

I’m glad that you are coming to San Francisco next month. But I think there is still something I should let you and your friends know before you leave.

First, bring a warm jacket and sweater so that you’re prepared for changes in the temperature. Even in the summer months of July and August, it gets cold.

Second, many of the phone boxes at San Francisco airport and in the center of the city only accept prepaid(预付款的) calling cards. So a prepaid phone card is needed. I suggest you buy one at the airport.

Third, it’s not easy to find a hotel room when you arrive. Hotels fill up quickly in San Francisco all year, especially in summer. You’d better book your room before you come.

One more thing. San Francisco is a great walking city—but there are hills! Bring a comfortable pair of walking shoes if you’re planning to go around on foot.

Lastly, there are many wonderful cultural activities in San Francisco year round. Use the Internet to get the latest information about the activities all the time of your visit.

Wish you a pleasant trip.

Things you need to bring

4. Some 71 clothes for cold weather 5. A pair of 72 shoes for going around

Things you need to do

1. Buy a 73 card at the airport 2. 74 a hotel room before you leave

3. 75 the latest information about the cultural activities in San Francisco
