第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题1.5分，满分22.5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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Should online learning be encouraged?

Editor’s note: As many parents have tried to give their children a head start, online education services, with their relatively cheap prices, are mushrooming across the world. What do you think? Should this way of teaching be encouraged?

Ted M (UK)

Online education is not new. It has been found effective in many countries where access(进入) to schools is difficult. It lacks the opportunity for social learning of course, but in most systems there are weekend, summer and winter “camps” where students can arr ange to meet and interact with others as part of the courses. Such education is valuable for remote(远程的) learning in inaccessible regions.

Linda (China)

I find that children today spend less and less time playing outdoors than we did when we were young. We have the technology to enable us to teach students to learn with an amazing variety of re sources but I do hope not at the cost of losing their childhood.

Breathing (Canada)

I think education is not about learning or gathering only textbook knowledge. It’s about communicating with others, discussing, group work etc. Online education means distance education. At present it is spread all over the world. It has some good results too. But I like face-to-face education. It helps a student to build up his or her mental and physical strength besides textbook knowledge.

Jimmy (US)

It really depends on what kind of learner you are. If you are a self-motivated student and can manage your own time, online learning is for you. So long as you have the ability to learn on your own.

Sunny (Australia)

Online schools offer students with customized learning and help them gain access to courses that may not be provided in their assigned school. This is one of the primary reasons for the increased demand in online learning.

Online learning is providing new choices for kids and more choices for parents.

21. W hich of the following is Linda’s opinion on online learning?

A. It limits the time children spend playing outdoors.

B. It is valuable for learning in remote regions.

C. It lacks the opportunity for social learning.

D. It is very popular all over the world.

22. Who is totally supportive to online learning?

A. Sunny

B. Breathing

C. Jimmy

D. Ted M

23. What is the purpose of the pa ssage?

A. To list the benefits of online learning.

B. To introduce the access to online learning.

C. To show the quick spread of online learning.

D. To present different opinions on online learning.

B

Getting paid to talk about the World Cup is a great job. I’m not a football commentator(评论员), though---- just an English teacher in Japan.

I came to Japan two years ago, and didn’t think I would stay, but Japan has that effect on you. People all end up living here longer than they planned.

I think it’s best to teach in a bigg er city where there are other foreigners to mix with, rather than a small town where English teachers often complain of feeling like a goldfish in a bowl. Many people choose to live in Tokyo, of course, which is good for the nightlife factor. But I’d say that for general quality of living, cities of neither too large nor too small, like Sapporo where I live, are better choices.

I teach English privately, which means I’m my own boss. If you want to devote yourself to private teaching, it’s well worth doing a TEFL course

first, because your lessons will be much better for it. The problem with private teaching is finding students; it took me a year to build up a full schedule of private lessons, so I started out teaching in schools part time.

Most of my foreign friends here work full-time for big English conversation schools. The salary is fine to live on. But whether you can save money depends on how much going out and traveling you do here.

The schools are reluctant to take time off –even teachers with tickets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the day off.

24. From the passage we know in Japan th e writer likes to live in _______.

A. Tokyo

B. a small town

C. a city of middle size

D. a big city

25. According to the writer, one had better _______ first to do private teaching better.

A. take a TEFL course

B. decide his or her own lessons

C. find students

D. build up a full schedule

26. According to the writer, whether one can save money depends on _______.

A. how many students you teach

B. how much traveling you do

C. how much going out you do

D. both B and C

27. The underlined word “reluctant” in the passage may probably mean _______.

A. kind

B. unwilling

C. free

D. careless

C

Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.

In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger

was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began

a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. When learning that a nobleman(贵族) had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.

Though the belief in the value of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World WarⅡ. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?

Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune(免疫) system. And the latter position is gaining some ground(根据).

28. The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because .

A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment.

B. they believed disease could be spread in public baths.

C. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in.

D. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease.

29. Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitud e to bathing?

A. Uninterested.

B. Curious.

C. Supportive.

D. Afraid.

30. How does the passage mainly develop?

A. By providing examples.

B. By following the order of time.

C. By making comparisons.

D. By following the order of importance.

31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A. To stress the role of dirt.

B. To introduce the history of dirt.

C. To show the change of views on dirt.

D. To call attention to the danger of dirt.

D

We do not usually think about how our language works. Talking is such a natural, everyday activity that we do not often stop to think how it actually works. When we do study our language, though, we are often surprised that we are able to understand our conversations. Words can mean so many different things. However, it turns out that the speaking situation helps a lot in making language work.

First, the speaking situation helps make words more particular. For example, the word “dog” can describe a dog that a speaker saw in a dream. It can also be use d to discuss a neighbor’s dog. No language has a separate word for the idea “dog that I saw yesterday” and another word for the idea “dog that I saw in a dream”. This is because the speaking situation makes it clear what speakers mean when they use words. So, when you have a conversation with your neighbor, the knowledge that you have a dog tells your neighbor what the word “dog” probably means in that situation.

The speaking situation also helps make language clearer. For example, the word “bank” has two possible meanings. It can mean “a place where people

keep money”, but it c an also mean “the side of a river”. So the sentence “I went to the bank” is not clear. It could mean I went to the place where my money is kept. However, if the speaker is talking about fishing or going to the mountains, others pro bably know that “bank” means “the side of a river”.

The things that speakers say may not always be clear. Sometimes the words are not very particular, but the speaking situation can provide the meaning. Other times words may have many meanings. Then the speaking situation limits the right meaning. This extra knowledge from the situation is very important to understand language.

32. The passage is mainly about_________.

A. The best time and place to talk to others

B. How the speaking situation helps language work

C. What to say in difficult situation

D. How our language works

33. What does the word “bank” mean if a speaker is talking about money?

A. A place where money is kept.

B. A supermarket to buy all kinds of goods.

C. A mountain for hunting.

D. The side of a river with many people fishing.

34. By using the example of the word “dog”, the author wants to show that_____.

A. a word may need to be explained in a conversation

B. a word may have different meanings

C. the speaking situation helps people understand the particular meaning of a

word

D. the meaning of words is not particular

35. Where can we find this passage?

A. A piece of news

B. A science novel

C. A fashion magazine

D. An article about language use

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。

Secret codes (密码)keep messages private. Banks, companies, and govern-ment agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.

People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 36 Code breaking never lags(落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.

There are three main types of cryptography. 37 For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.”

38 You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we replace

a number with each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 20 13

5.”

A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 39 For example, “bridge”might stand for “meet”and “out”might stand for “me.”The message “bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.” 40 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.

A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book.

B. In any language, some letters are used more than others.

C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message.

D.

As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.

E.

You can hide a message by having the first letters of each w ord spell it out.

F.With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other

words.

G.Another way to hide a message is to use symbols t o stand

for specific letter

of the alphabet.

Punishment by itself doesn’t really work. It teaches children only what they shouldn’t do. It doesn’t guide them towards what they should do, so it doesn’t work in changing 61 (they) behaviour. It might also have negative long-term effects 62 children.

In families 63 parents shout at, threaten and punish children, children often keep behaving in challenging ways.

Linking the p unishment to your child’s behaviour and showi ng your child how you’d like her to behave will help improv e her behaviour. For example,

if your child takes a biscuit without asking, she might have to practise 64 (ask) for the biscuit using her manners.

Punishment also works 65 (well) when you balance punishment with praise for good behaviour.

Praise for good behavior 66 (teach) your child what to do and how

to behave. And when your child 67 (praise) for behaving well, he’s 68 (like) to want to keep behaving that way.

Also, your child needs 69 warm and loving family environment to grow and develop. She needs you to guide her with family 70 (rule) and to let her know what behaviour you expect from her. A key way to do this is by talking and listening to your child.

Dear Susan,

I’m sorry to hear that you are having trouble adapting to your new school life in America, but this situation can be easily changed if you take my suggestions. Now my suggestions are as follows:

Firstly, you should work hard at English, which can give you more opportunities to communicate with others. Secondly, why not make some friends? They can help you to know more about America, and friendship can

help you to forget your loneliness. Thirdly, it would be a good idea if you take an active part in all kinds of activities, which will help to make life more interesting. I believe by doing this, you will be happier with your new life soon.

I hope these suggestions can be very useful to you.

Yours sincerely,
