II．阅读（共两节，满分50分）

第一节阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

A

My first shopping in a general store was in Miss Bee?s when I spent the summer with my grandmother in New York.

“Go get them yourself.” Miss Bee said, ignoring the shopping list held up before her nose. “I?m not your servant, so just get yourself a basket from the pile over there and start filling.”

It took me three wall-to-wall searches before I found the first item on my list—a pork can placed between boxes of cereal and bread. Next up was toilet paper, found under the daily newspaper, and Band-Aids, found next to the face cream. The store was a puzzle, but it held some surprises too. I found a new Superman comic behind the peanut butter.

I visited Miss Bee a couple of times a week that summer. Sometimes she short-charged me. Other times she overcharged or sold me an old newspaper instead of a current one. Going to the store was more like going into battle. I left my Grandma?s house armed with my list—memorized to the letter—and marched into Miss Bee?s like General Patton marching into North Africa.

All summer long she found ways to trip me up. No sooner had I learned how to pronounce bicarbonate of soda and memorized its location on the shelf than Miss Bee rearranged the shelves and made me hunt for it all over again. By summer?s end, however, the shopping trip tha t had once taken me an hour was done in 15 minutes.

The morning I was to return to Brooklyn, I stopped in to tell her that she was mean. To my amazement she laughed and said, “Well, I don?t care! Each of us is put on this earth for a reason. I believe my job is to teach every child I meet ten life lessons to help them. Think what you will, but when you get older you?ll be glad our paths crossed!”

I thought the idea was absurd until one day my daughter came to me with homework troubles.

“It?s too hard,” she said. “Could you finish my math problem for me?”

“If I do it for you how will you ever learn to do it yourself?” I said.

Suddenly, I was back at that general store where I had learned the hard way to tally up my bill along with the cashier. As my daughter went back to her homework, I wondered: Had Miss Bee really taught me something all those years ago? I took out some scrap paper and started writing.

26. Why did the writer spend a long time doing her first shopping in the general store?

A. She was too young to remember all the items on the list.

B. Miss Bee didn?t treat her kindly.

C. Her grandmother asked her to buy too many things.

D. The store was in disorder and she was not familiar with the shop.

27. What did the writer mean when comparing herself to “General Patton” in Paragraph 4?

A. She was well prepared and full of confidence.

B. She was very aggressive, taking Miss Bee as the enemy.

C. Going shopping in the store was a challenge to her.

D. Going shopping was so fun that it was like playing a war game.

28. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 5?

A. The goods in Miss Bee?s were usually placed at the same place.

B. The writer has finally learned how to shop in an efficient way.

C. The writer often lost her way in Miss Bee?s store.

D. Miss Bee usually amused herself by playing games with the writer.

29. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 6 probably suggest?

A. The writer would benefit from the experience of shopping in Miss Bee?s.

B. The writer would find shopping in Miss Be e?s store very interesting.

C. The writer would be happy to meet Miss Bee again later in life.

D. The writer would realize that Miss Bee could become her friend.

30. At the end of the story, the writer might write down the following EXCEPT_________.

A. Don?t be so quick to judge other people.

B. The best teacher isn?t only in school.

C. Stick to your dream whatever happens.

D. Things can be learned in daily routines.

27. 【答案】C。推断题。由第四段最后一句可知，作者将自己去商店买东西类比为General Patton挺进北非的经历，并且在前文用了arm with（装备），march（挺进）等词表现出作者将去商店当做一个挑战。故选C。

28. 【答案】B。细节题。由第五段最后一句可知，作者在经历了一个暑假之后已经可以将购物时间缩减到15分钟左右。故选B。

29. 【答案】A。词意题。划线句为前文中Miss Bee对作者的话的总结。从前文可知，作者确实从这样的购物经历中取得了收获。故选A。

30. 【答案】C。主旨题。从全文来看，文章与梦想完全无关。故可以排除C。

B.

Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路)in life that by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But It was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.

For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents? home in Boise in nine

hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hates confinement(限制)and have strong opinions about everything.

Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.

But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. I had to take him with me.

That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They?d get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.

We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass, or just simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water. Here was life. And new horizons(见识).

We eventually arrived at my parents? doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories

I grew brave with the trip back home. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.

Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and I found the best of myself.

31. Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents? hom e?

A. It was less time.

B. She felt better with other drivers nearby.

C. Her kids would feel less confined.

D. It would be faster and safer.

32. The author stopped regularly on the country roads to

A. take care of the lamb

B. take a deep breath

C. relax in the fresh air

D. let the kids play with Banner

33. What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6?

A. Freeways are where beauty hides.

B. Enjoying the beauty of natur e benefits one?s health

C. Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life

D. One should follow side roads to watch wild animals

34. Why did the author ask the kids to get out of the car on their way back home?

A. To give herself some time to read

B. To let them cool down

C. To play a game with them.

D. To order some food for them

35. What could be the best title for the passage?

A. Creativity out of Necessity

B. Beautiful Country Road

C. Charm of the Detour

D. Road trip and Country Life

C

A new study has found evidence of aggressive behavior in children who drink four or more servings of soft drinks every day. Information for the study came from the mothers of 3,000 5-year-olds. Researchers asked the women to keep a record of how many servings of soft drinks their children drank over a two-month period. The women were also asked to complete a checklist of their children's behavior.

The researchers found that 43 percent of the boys and girls drank at least one daily serving of soda, 4 percent of the youngsters had four or more sodas to drink every day.

Shakira Suglia is with Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health in New York City. She worked on the study with researchers from the University of Vermont and Harvard University School of Public Health. She says they found that children who drank the most soda were more than two times as likely as those who drank no soda to show signs of aggression.

"For the children who consumed four or more soft drinks per day, we see an association between aggressive behaviors, attention problems and withdrawn behaviors."

The aggressive behaviors included destroying possessions belonging to others, taking part in fights and physically attacking people.

The researchers have determined the link after considering factors like the child's age and sex. They have also considered other possible influence, such as whether the boys and girls are eating sweets or giving fruit drinks on a normal day. In addition, the researchers examined parenting styles and other social conditions that may be taking place in the home. Researchers are trying to find why young children who drink a lot of soda have behavior problems.

"We can't prove that this is a direct cause and effect relationship, having said that, there are a lot of ingredients in soda, a lot of ingredients that have not been examined in relation to behavior."

An ingredient often found in soft drinks is caffeine, which helps to make people feel energetic. Suglia suggests that caffeine could cause the 5-year-olds to be more aggressive.

Earlier studies of young adults have found the highest sugar levels in those who carry weapons and show signs of negative social behavior.

36. What section of a newspaper is the passage probably taken from?

A. Scientific Technology

B. Health Report

C. Social News

D. Science Fictions

37. The underlined word “withdraw” in paragraph 4 probably means_____.

A. backward

B. generous

C. unsociable

D. friendly

38. Researchers studied the following aspects of the children except ______.

A. age

B. character

C. sex

D. Parents

39. From the research, we know_________.

A. most of the youngsters surveyed have soft drinks every day.

B. 3000 mothers were asked to keep a record of their children?s intake of soft drinks

C. children who drink no soda show no signs of aggressive behaviors

D. children with the highest sugar levels tend to have negative social behaviors

40. The main purpose of the passage is to _______.

A. urge parents to stop their children from drinking soda

B. explain the cause of ch ildren?s problem behaviors

C. suggest that people should not drink soft drinks too much

D. uncover the link between soft drinks and aggressive behaviors

答案及解析

36. 【答案】B，主旨推断题，纵观全文，讲的是“喝软饮料”和“有攻击性的行为”之间的关系的科学研究，所以这是一篇健康方面的报道。

37. 【答案】C，词义推断题，在文中，withdrawn behavior是与aggressive behaviors并列的，证明它们是同性质的、类似的行为，而aggressive behaviors包括破坏“他人物品、打架、人身攻击”，据此推断withdrawn behavior也是一种不友好“unsocial”的行为。

38. 【答案】B，事实细节题，在第6段第1句提到“age and sex”，第3句提到“parenting styles”，但始终没提到“character”。

39. 【答案】A，推理判断题，第1段讲到“3000个五岁小孩的母亲”（“the mothers of 3,000 5-year-olds”），并不是“3000个母亲”，故B错。第3段提到“children who drank the most soda were more than two times as likely as those who drank no soda to show signs of aggression.”，并非“完全没有攻击行为”，故C错。D选项的结论是“早期研究”得出的，并非最近刚做的这个实验。由第1段倒数第2句和第2段的数据可知，大多数受调查的小孩每天都喝软饮料。

40. 【答案】D，主旨大意题，根据文中第1段第1句可知答案。

D

A spelling mistake on a sign outside a state primary school had me banging my head in despair—but don?t be panicked into thinking state education is fundamentally disabled.

There?s a notice on our local park gate, made by a local state primary school pupil, saying:” There is know such thing as the poo fairy.” What a good idea —a campaign to encourage the dog-owners among us to pick up their dog?s waste! And what an attractive and eye-catching poster! But “KNOW poo fairy”? Why didn?t he/she realize that bad spelling is a worry? What?s even worse, it could easily bring joy to Mr. Gove?s heart, because it seems to prove him right: ordinary state schools are bad and academics are good. And the country may take his propaganda （宣传）seriously and show the panicking parents one bad spelling from a non-academy school, suggesting that it’s filled with wild and unqualified staff. The parents then will be scared that their children will be poorly educated, and must be marched straight into an academy —an institution full of exam results and undemocratic management.

Don’t fall for it, parents. Like thousands of teachers in state schools, and local authorities, you can care about children’s education and standards of literacy, you can even love Latin, without singing up to the Gove brigade（队列）.Just because he has had an insight into our terrors and recognized our dreams, it does mean that he just knows how to take us in and what works in his favor.

“That …know poo? teacher has scored an own goal,” says Fielding, “and put the state school at a

seeming disadvantage.” Now you?re in a dilemma here. You?re caught between your enthusiasm for accurate grammar and your well-meaning social responsibilities”. Even Fielding doesn?t get it. You can have the two things together—high standards in comprehensives. We do not need academies. You can manage it!

41. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?

A. The author bumped his head on a sign board outside a primary school.

B. The sign was written to encourage dog-owners to clean their dogs waste.

C. The word “know” in the sign is a spelling mistake.

D. The author likes the poster except for the spelling mistake.

42. Who is Mr. Gove in the passage?

A. A pupil?s father concerned about education.

B. A teacher of a state primary school.

C. An advocate for academy.

D. An official at the Education Department.

43. We can learn from the passage that the author __________.

A. felt hopeless at the state primary education

B. tried to defend the spelling mistakes in the poster

C. thought highly of academy?s educational standard

D. was opposed to Mr. Gove?s misleading propaganda

44. What is the author?s attitude towards state primary education?

A. Conservative

B. Indifferent

C. Supportive

D. Critical

45. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph imply?

A. The teacher has accidentally harmed the interest of state school.

B. The teacher has successfully scored a goal in a football match.

C. The teacher has effectively attacked the weakness of academies.

D. The teacher has successfully achieved his goal.

答案解析

41. 【答案】A，推理判断题，文章首句“had me banging my head in despair”的意思是“牌子上的拼写错误让作者吃了一惊”，并非真的“撞到了头”，根据下文由“拼写错误”引发的“对学校教育质量的忧思”可以得到进一步验证。

42. 【答案】C，推理判断题，定位第2段关键词“Mr. Gove”，后半句“because it seems to prove him right: ordinary state schools are bad and academics are good”可知答案。

43. 【答案】D，推理判断题，针对第2段后半部分的描述，第3段作者明确提出自己的观点“Don’t fall for it, parents”，以及文章倒数第2句“We do not need academies.”，说明作者反对Mr. Gove的言论。

44. 【答案】C，推理判断题，由第3段作者明确提出自己的观点可知答案，且与43题的观点一致。

45. 【答案】A，句义理解题，根据后半句“and put the state school at a seeming disadvantage”，可知，老师（忽视拼写错误）的这种行为已经损害到了州立学校的利益，故

选A。而B和D都是对goal的断章取义，C选项意思正好相反。

参考范文：

The author took a wrong turn when driving. However, because of this, he had the chance to help a young man change his flat tire, which made the author feel optimistic again.

After reading this story, I am so inspired by the author`s attitude that he held towards life. Although he took a wrong turn, which made him feel frustrated, he learned to change his attitude and looked at the problem from another perspective. With this kind of attitude, we can always find the positive side in every situation.

The author`s story awakens my memory of one of my experience, which happened at my age of 12, when I first attended a boarding school. I completely couldn`t fit in with it, since everything was new to me, including the teachers, classmates, as well as the brand-new environment. Consequently, I felt so upset and frustrated, and this state kept on two weeks until I changed my attitude. I came to realized it was also a good chance for me to become more independent and confident. So gradually, I tried to open my mind and heart, getting myself involved in new things and persons, which turned out to be a good ending.

As a senior three student now, we are also supposed to keep a positive attitude toward problems on study. For example, when we are confronted with a low mark, we should still keep confident instead of losing heart. Consider the failure and obstacles as the stepping stones of success. If we change our attitude and keep working hard, we can eventually achieve great academic performance.
