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)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A

Motherhood may make women smarter and may help prevent dementia(痴呆) in old age by bathing the brain in protective hormones(荷尔蒙) , U.S. researchers reported on Thursday.

Tests on rats show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no babies, and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as Alzheim er’s(早老痴呆症). University of Richmond psychology professor Craig Kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans.

“Our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy(怀孕) are protecting the brain, including estrogen(雌激素), which we know has many neuroprotective (保护神经的) effects,” Kinsley said.

“It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals,” he added in a telephone interview. “They go through pregnancy and hormonal changes.”

Kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from Alzheimer’s and other forms of age-related brain decline.

“When people think about pregnancy, they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down,” said Kinsley, who presented his findings to the

annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in Orlando, Florida.

“They do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain. If you look at female animals who have never gone through pregnancy, they act differently toward young. But if she goes through pregnancy, she will sacrifice her life for her infant —that is a great change in her behavior that showed in genetic alterations(改变) to the brain.”

26. How do scientists know “Motherhood may make women smarter”?

A. They know it by experimenting on rats.

B. Many women say so.

C. Some researchers have told them.

D. They know it through their own experience.

27. What does the phrase “litters of pups” mean in the second paragraph?

A. Animals.

B. Baby rats.

C. Old rats.

D. Grown-up rats.

28. What can protect the brain of a woman according to the passage?

A. Estrogen.

B. Taking care of children.

C. More exercise.

D. The hormones of pregnancy.

29. “It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals.”What does the sentence suggest?

A. The experiments on the rats have nothing to do with humans.

B. The experiments on the rats are much the same on humans.

C. The experiments on the rats are very important for animals.

D. The experiments on the rats are much the same on other animals.

30. Which title is the best for this passage?

A. Do You Want to Be Smarter?

B. Mysterious Hormones

C. Motherhood Makes Women Smarter

D. An Important Study

B

I entered high school having read hundreds of books. But I was not a good reader. Merely bookish, I lacked a point of view when I read. Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, ideas, themes—anything to enrich my thought and make me feel

educated. When one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth-grade English class that a person could not have a “complicated idea” until he had read at least two thousand books, I heard the words without recognizing either its irony (嘲讽) or its very complicated truth. I merely determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read. Strict with myself, I included only once a title I might have read several times. (How, after all, could one read a book more than once?) And I included only those books over a hundred pages in length. (Could anything shorter be a book?) There was yet another high school list I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list o f the “hundred most important books of Western Civilization.” “More than anything else in my life,” the professor told the reporter with finality, “these books have made me all that I am.” That was the kind of words I couldn’t ignore. I kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course, I hardly understood. While reading Plato's The Republic, for example, I needed to keep looking at the introduction of the book to remind myself what the text was about. However, with the special patience and superstition (迷信) of a schoolboy, I looked at every word of the text. And by me time I reached the last word, pleased, I persuaded myself that I had read The Republic, and seriously crossed Plato off my list.

31. On heating the teacher's suggestion of reading, the writer thought _______.

A. a student should not have a complicated idea

B. one must read as many books as possible

C. it was impossible for one to read two thousand books

D. students ought to make a list of the books they had read

32. While at high school, the writer _______.

A. only read books over 100 pages

B. learned to educate himself

C. had plans for reading

D. read only one book several times

33. The underlined phrase “with finality” pr obably means _______.

A. pleasantly

B. clearly

C. proudly

D. firmly

34. The writer's purpose in mentioning The Republic is to _______.

A. explain why it was included in the list

B. describe why he seriously crossed it off the list

C. show that he read the books blindly though they were hard to understand

D. prove that he understood most of it because he had looked at every word

35. The writer provides two book lists to _______.

A. show how he developed his point of view

B. explain that he read many books at high school

C. introduce the two persons' reading methods

D. tell his reading experience at high school

C

Now let us look at how we read. When we read a printed text, our eyes move across a page in short, jerky movement. We recognize words usually when our eyes are still when they fixate. Each time they fixate, we see a group of words. This is known as the recognition span or the visual span. The length of time of which the eyes stop ---the duration of the fixation ----varies considerably from person to person. It also varies within any one person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text. Furthermore, it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.

Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page. As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation. For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a screen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second. One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side. Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive fixation. All these exercises are very clever, but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words. Consequently, for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous

text.

36. The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts except ________ .

A. the length of a group of words

B. one’s purpose in reading

C. one’s familiarity with the text

D. lighting and tiredness

37. The author may believe that reading ______.

A. requires a reader to take in more words at each fixation

B. requires a reader to see words more quickly

C. demands more mind than eyes

D. demands an deeply-participating mind

38. What does the author mean by saying “but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently.”in the second paragraph?

A. The ability to see words is not needed when an efficient reading is conducted.

B. The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve both the ability to see and to comprehend words.

C. The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve an efficient reading.

D. The reading exercises mentioned has done a great job to improve one’s ability to see words.

39. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. The eye training will help readers in reading a continuous text.

B. Many experts began to question the efficiency of eye training.

C. The emphasis on the purely visual aspects is misleading.

D. The visual span is a word or a group of words we see each time.

40. The tune of the author in writing this article is ________

A pessimistic

B neutral

C critical

D optimistic

D

Baekeland and Hartmann report that the “short sleepers” had been more or less average in their sleep needs until the men were in their teens. But at about age 15 or so, the men voluntarily began cutting down their nightly sleep time because of pressures

from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines.

In general, th ese “short sleeps” appeared ambitious, active, energetic, cheerful, conformist(不动摇) in their opinions, and very sure about their career choices. They often held several jobs at once, or workers full-or part-time while going to school. And many of them had a strong urge to appear “normal” or “acceptable” to their friends and associates.

When asked to recall their dreams, the “short sleepers” did poorly. More than this, they seemed to prefer not remembering. In similar fashion, their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble would go away.

The sleep patterns of the “short sleepers” were similar to, but less extreme than, sleep patterns shown by many mental patients categorized as manic(疯人).

The “long sleepers” were quite different indeed. Baekeland and Hartmann report that these young men had been lengthy sleeps since childhood. They seemed to enjoy their sleep, protected it, and were quite concerned when they were occasionally deprived of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest. They tended to recall their dreams much better than did the “short sleepers.”

Many of the “long sleepers” were shy, anxious, introverted (内向), inhibited (压抑), passive, mildly depressed, and unsure of themselves (particularly in social situations). Several openly states that sleep was an escape from their daily problems.

41. According to the report,______.

A) many short sleepers need less sleep by nature

B) many short sleepers are obliged to reduce their nightly sleep time because they

are busy with their work

C) many long sleepers preserve their sleeping habit formed during their childhood

D) long sleepers sleep a longer period of time during the day

42. Many “short sleepers” are likely to h old the view that _____.

A) sleep is a withdrawal from the reality

B) sleep is the least expensive item on their routine program

C) sleep interferes with their sound judgment

D) sleep is the best way to deal with psychological troubles

43. It is stated in the third paragraph that short sleepers _____.

A) are ideally energetic even under the pressures of life

B) often neglect the consequences of inadequate sleep

C) do not know how to relax properly

D) are more unlikely to run into mental problems

44. When sometimes they cannot enjoy adequate sleep, the long sleepers might ____.

A) be extremely depressed

B) become energetic

C) feel satisfied

D) appear disturbed

45. Which of the following is Not included in the passage?

A) If one sleeps inadequately, his performance suffers and his memory is

weakened

B) Long and short sleepers differ in their attitudes towards sleep

C) The sleep patterns of short sleepers are exactly the sane as those shown by

many mental patients

D) Short sleepers would be better off with more rest

The First Lesson of the New Term, a TV program about how to protect oneself in times of emergency, is meant to provide school students with the knowledge on self-protection. It will help students in case of natural disasters such as earthquakes, fires, snowstorms or floods. Many examples show that enough knowledge about self-protection along with enough courage and willpower can help many survive.

The most recent example is from the earthquake in Sichuan Province in May of 2008. While thousands of school kids were killed by collapsed school buildings, all students from a middle school survived even without a single one being hurt. That’s because of their timely and orderly evacuations (撤离), which they had been drilled in every term.

It’s good to see this program is the most important activity of a national campaign to make students be aware of personal safety. Chinese Education Ministry has called on all schools nationwide to give lessons on self-protection knowledge in times of emergency every term.

【答案与解析】1—15 BCCCA CDADC CBABA

1.B。根据下文可知句意为：教员要求我们把我们过去的任何事情(anything)都列成表，这些事情是我们感到羞愧(ashamed)、后悔或未完成的，然后大声读出。若填something只表示一些事情，与句意不符。ashamed 意为“羞愧的”，根据后面列举的几项，不应该是“害怕的(afraid)”的事情。

2. C。private 意为“私人的、保密的、不让人知道的”。上述事情都属于个人隐私，不宜公开。

3.C。brave 意为“勇敢的”，尽管是隐私不宜公开，但在自愿者中也有勇敢的人。

4. C。suggested 意为“建议”，句子谓语用的动词原形，是虚拟语气，可先排除expected；从说话者语气看，不是“命令”，所以可排除ordered和demanded。

5. A。这里教员建议要做以下几件事情：to make apologize to people“向人们道谦”，(to) take some actions right any wrong doings“采取措施纠正错误的所作所为”。

6. C。本来作者是参加一个交际培训班，而现在教员所要学员做的一切似乎与培养交际能力无关，所以作者很纳闷这是否能提高(improve)他的交际能力。

7. D。make a list 意为“列表、造表”。

8. A。play a trick on sb 意为“捉弄某人”。

9. D。sign 意为“记号、标记、符号”，指Jimmy他们写的字。

10. C。appear 意为“出现”，指Sheriff Brown的名字被列在表上。

11. C。alive 意为“活着的”，此时Jimmy还不知道Sheriff Brown是否活着，与后面他们接通电话，证实了Sheriff Brown还活着。所以此处不宜用其他形容词。

12. B。由we had a good laugh 可知Sheriff 和Jimmy 进行的是热烈的(lively)讨论。所以不宜选其他形容词。

13. A。后面的句子说明原因，故选because 引导原因状语从句：因为你的伙伴都把他们做的错事给忘了。下一句表示：而Jimmy却这些年(nearly 20年) 来一直把他所做过的错事记在心头。

14. B。clear up 意为“消除、解除”，此句意为：在两年里Jimmy鼓励了我消除在我的表上的所有101项(做错了事情)。

15. A。right 意为“纠正”，此句意为：纠正过去的不道德行为还为时不晚。

第二节语法填空(共10小题；每小题l.5分，满分l5分)

16. Helped。因help与公共邮政服务是动宾关系，故用过去分词表示被动。

17. a。指一种更高效的邮政服务，表示“一种”用不定冠词a。

18. to。由句式搭配send sth to sb可知。

19. was designed。在句中作谓语表示被动，且用一般过去时。

20. and。用连词and连接两个并列句。

21. artist。从后面的同位语William Egley可知在这里应填上与art有关的人，即artist。

22. his。从后面的his first American cards可知是他的商店。

23. important。这是一个倒装句，主语是the fact，空格要求填的词在句中作表语，故用形容词。

第一节：

We have held a heated discussion about whether it is good for a top student to share a desk with a poor student. 66% of the students, who are in favor of the idea, think

that poor students may not good at lessons, but they might do well in other fields like sports or arts. In addition, top students can help poor ones gain self-confidence by helping them with their lessons, which in turn benefits them.

However , 34% of the students believe that some poor students are always making trouble, such as keeping talking in class and breaking class rule, which may mislead top students into forming the bad habits. Besides, poor students often ask top ones questions, which may stop them from concentrating on their studies.

In my opinion, I’d like to share a desk with a poor student so that we can learn from each other and make progress together.

第二节读写任务(共1小题，满分25分)【参考范文】

T ake care of ourselves!

The Chinese Education Ministry has paid close attention to self-protection education among us school students because some knowledge about self-protection may help one survive in case of emergency.

In my opinion, no lesson is more important than the one on personal safety. Life is fragile but can be strengthened when one is armed with enough knowledge on how to protect oneself from danger.

As middle school students, we should gain some knowledge about safety. Firstly, we should always obey the traffic rules. When we go across the road, we must wait for the green light. When we go to school or go home by bike, we should go along the right side and should not ride at a high speed. Secondly, in order to avoid fire in our dormitory, we should not use any electric device without permission. Thirdly, we should not climb the fence of the school in case that we might hurt ourselves.

It is high time that we should be aware of the importance of self-protection. And only with a good sense of self-protection can we live a safe and happy life!
