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，选出最佳选项并在题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Trees are useful to man in three important ways：they give him wood and other useful things, they give him cool places, and they help to stop drought and flood.

Unluckily, in many parts of the world, man has not found that the third of these points is the most important. Man wants to make money from trees, so he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And also, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees. So the forests slowly disappear.

This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even worse：for where there are trees, their roots break up soil---make the rain in ---and also bind（凝固） the soil, thus stopping it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. When all

the topsoil is gone, nothing is left but useless desert.

21.The most important points of trees to man is ________.

A. they help him to make money

B. they give him cool

C. they give him wood and other things

D. they help him to stop drought and floods

22.In many places forests slowly disappear because ________ .

A. many trees have been cut down by man

B. new trees are not well looked after

C. man has not paid enough attention to planting trees

https://www.360docs.net/doc/7416195154.html,nd becomes desert after all trees are cut down because ________ .

A. roots of trees break up the soil

B. there are too many rainfalls

C. there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the top-soil.

D. strong winds bring a lot of sand

B

I was in New York the other day and rode with a friend in a taxi. When we got out, my friend said to the driver, “Thank you for the ride. You did a good job of driving.”

The taxi driver was shocked for a second. Then he said, “Are you a wise man or something？”

“No, my dear man, and I’m not putting you on. I like the way you keep cool in heavy traffic.”

“Yeah,” the driver said and drove off.

“What was tha t all about？” I asked.

“I am trying to bring love back to New York,” he said. “I believe it’s the only thing that can save the city.”

“How can one man save New York？”

“It’s not one man. I believe I have made that taxi driver’s day. Suppose he has 20 fares （乘客）. He’s going to be nice to those 20 fares because someone was nice to him. Those fares in turn will be kinder to their shopkeepers or waiters or even their own families. Finally the goodwill could go to at least 1000 people. Now that isn’t bad, is it？”

“But you’re depending on that taxi driver to pass your goodwill to others.”

“I’m not depending on it,” my friend said. “I might deal with ten different people today. If out of ten I can make three happy, then I can have an effect on 3000 more people.”

“It sounds good on paper,” I said, “but I’m not sure it works in practice.”

“Nothing is lost if it doesn’t. It didn’t take any of my time to tell that man he was doing a good job. He neither received a larger tip nor a smaller tip. If it fell on deaf ears, so what？Tomorrow there will be another taxi driver I can try to make happy.”

David is an excellent student and he comes from New York. His family was there until he finished eighth grade. David had no choice but to sleep on park benches. Being alone on the streets was scary. One thing kept David going：his determination to do well in school.

Even though many things were difficult in David’s life, one thing was going very well. David was accepted to a special high school called MC2STEM. It is a public school in Cleveland for kids who are extremely good at science. The school turned out a peaceful place for David.

High school wasn’t easy. But David says that the school helped him set high standards for himself. Even when he didn’t have a place to stay at night, David kept his focus on his schoolwork.

While he was homeless, David would sometimes sleep in the park during the day because it was safer. “ If you sleep in the daytime in the park, people won’t bother you,” he says. “you’re just taking a nap. It’s acceptable.” Then David would study through the night. He showered at a friend’s house when his friend’s parents were at work.

All his hard work paid off. In May 2011, David graduated second in his high school class. He was accepted to 22 colleges. He also won a scholarship from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It will pay for all his college expenses.

Last fall, David began a ttending Harvard University, one of the top colleges in the US. “I found the perfect school for me.” He wrote in his blog.

Your body, which has close relations with the food you eat, is the most important thing you own, so it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment （营养）.The old saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away ”is not as silly as some people think.

believing that these will make them healthy.

But a good diet is made up of nourishing food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body doesn’t need or use extra vitamins, so why waste money on t hem？

Improve your memory, improve your life.

Mark began to introduce the guest speaker to the audience, but then he paused in horror. 36

Barbara hid her jewelry when she went on vacation. When she came back, she couldn’t remember where she’d put it.

37 Most people have. But memory can be developed.

First, relax. If you’re overanxious about remembering something, you’ll forget it .

38 Take a deep breath and tell yourself that you have all the time in the world to remember.

Second, avoid being negative. If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad, your mind will come to believe it and y ou won’t remember things. When you forget something, don’t say, “ Gee, I need to have my brain rewired （重装电线）.”

To improve your memory, you’ll need to take an active role. Like your body, your memory can be strengthened through exercise. 39 For e xample, if you’re learning a language, try to actively remember irregular verbs.

You may also want to make associations, or links, between what you’re trying to remember and things you already know. For example, if you need to catch a plane at 2:00pm, you can imagine a plane in your mind and notice that it has two wings. 40

A. Don’t worry.

B. He had forgotten her name.

C. Perhaps you’ve had experiences like these.

D. Look for opportunities to exercise your memory.

E. Jokes like this will have a negative effect on your memory.

F. You are now ten times more likely to remember the take-off time.

G. Relaxing will help improve your awareness and ability to concentrate.

六、书面表达

One possible version：

Green life style is becoming increasingly popular nowadays as it can help to reduce pollution and save energy. It is easy to adopt in our daily life and here I’d like to share my practice.

To save water，I often try to reuse it for watering flowers after washing hands or vegetables and seldom do I leave the tap water running when showering or washing. Also，when it is necessary to use air conditioner，I usually set it to a proper temperature so that I can use less electricity and save money as well. Besides，I always keep it in my mind to turn off lights before leaving. What makes me most proud of is that I have a cloth shopping bag made by myself for my regular shopping.

I’m fully convinced that as long as everyone sticks to the three R p rinciples—Reduce，Reuse，and Recycle，we’ll be moving a step closer to a green life day by day.
