第三部分阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

The sun is setting on a summer night. At the entrance to a deep, dark cave, a few bats fly out and begin swirling high up into the air. More and more of the small, furry creatures appear. Within a few minutes, a whole river of bats is pouring out of the cave, and they keep coming, millions and millions of them.

Sound like a scary horror movie? Believe it or not, this scene takes place every night, all summer long, at Bracken Cave in Texas, where 20 million bats fly outside to feed on insects. “It is magical，” says Jim Kennedy of Bat Conservation International in Austin Texas. “It is one of the most majestic animal movements on the planet.”

Every March or April, Mexican free-tailed bats migrate up to 1，000 miles (1，609 kilometers) from their winter home in Mexico to this cave, where they raise their young. Soon after they arrive, each mother gives birth to one pup. As many as 500

baby bats live crammed into one square foot (30.48 cubic centimeters) of space, all those bodies create nice warm temperatures to keep them cozy and comfortable. If you've ever lost sight of your parents on a crowded playground, you may be wondering how mother bats recognize their children. They use their sense of smell to tell which pup is theirs when it is time for the babies to nurse.

The cave, a quiet place in winter, is full with life all summer—and not just with bat residents. Bat waste soon covers the floor, providing food for tiny organisms(生物体) like bacteria and fungi(真菌). And then there are the bugs.

When the adult bats leave the cave at night to feed, they are helping humans. They eat tons of insects in a single night, including many pests that eat farmers' crops. And they get rid of mosquitoes, too.

56．In the first paragraph, the author ________．

A．provides some information about bats B．describes the movement of bats C．advises the reader to watch bats D．stresses the danger of bats in summer

57．Which of the following is TRUE about the bats?

A．They are well protected by farmers. B．They smell better than other animals.

C．They benefit from some tiny organisms. D．They travel from Mexico to America yearly.

58．From the second paragraph, we can know Kennedy's opinion of the bats' flying in group is ________．

A．mysterious B．frightful C．crazy D．enjoyable

B

In Shanghai's Grand Theater, a fashionable, mainly young audience applauds enthusiastically as Guo Yong takes center stage. He holds a large bushy tree branch with leaves. Blowing on one of the leaves, he produces a sound like the singing of birds as he plays a traditional Buyi folk song. Some other musicians are also playing the traditional instruments from various ethnic groups in China.

It's the first time such music has ever been performed in the Grand Theater.

But all this is the effo rts of Zhu Zheqin, a Cantonese-born singer, who has made it her mission to help preserve China's traditional ethnic music.

In 2009, after being appointed a United Nations Development Program ambassador, Zhu traveled through some of China's remotest regions in an attempt to document the traditional music of various minority groups. In the course of the four-month trip, she recorded more than a thousand songs. But she noticed that many of the best musicians were old, and some of the music was at risk of dying out.

“I was shocked by the beauty of what I heard—it was so good，” she says. “But it needed support. I hope to let people see the beauty of these things in the contemporary times.”

So Zhu decided to introduce some of the musicians to a wider audience. By doing this, she hopes to rekindle(点燃) the interest of the younger generation. “Young people don't like this music much; they prefer pop music and love songs. They think these songs are something their grandma sings. This kind of repackaging gives young people a new door into their heritage.”

Zhu believes China needs to look again at its own roots. “China today is basically all Western art; in our conservatories (音乐学院) Western classical music is the top，” she says. “For China to really contribute to the world, we need to go on our own path. So what can represent China today？” The answer, she suggests, is to move from “made in China” to “created in China”．

59．From the first paragraph, we learn that________．

A．the audience are all young people

B．Guo Yong is playing the Buyi folk music

C．Guo Yong is the only minority performer in China

D．tree branches make good musical instruments

60．Which of the following is true of Zhu Zheqin?

A．She teaches music in a conservatory.

B．She is helping preserve Chinese ethnic music.

C．She works as an official in the United Nations.

D．She's created all the music for the Grand Theater.

61．What is Zhu Zheqin's idea about Chinese traditional music?

A．It is completely out of date.

B．Only old musicians play it well.

C．It needs changes to attract young people.

D．It is quickly dying out.

62．What does Zhu Zheqin mean in the last paragraph?

A．The traditional music should be repackaged.

B．Chinese conservatories shouldn't teach Western music.

C．China has contributed a lot to the Western art.

D．Only the things created in China can be symbols of China.

Chengdu, Sichuan—Her training as a ballet dancer has served Tian Yu well in her bid to be a top equestrian(骑手)．

“I have learned how to balance myself，” said the 16-year-old.

A member of the national youth equestrian team, Tian won a bronze in the jumping challenge at a youth event of the International Federation for Equestrian Sports in South Korea in April.

A month later, she won a gold in the jumping challenge at the International Equestrian Masters in the National Stadium in Beijing.

Tian is conspicuous (引人注意的) at events because there are not many woman equestrian athletes in the country—many parents do not want their daughters, mostly only children, to get involved and the practice is not covered by any insurance.

“To be an equestrian, a woman has to be strong, be patient and work harder than a male counterpart，” Tian said.

Because of her studies at the Beijing National Day School, a state-run middle school, Tian can only practice about twice a week after school. During summer and winter vacations, she practices in the Jingcheng Horse Club in Beijing's Daxing District every day, even on biting cold winter days. Last winter, the skin on the back of her hands cracked and became infected because of the cold, but she did not stop training. Even during the Spring Festival she only took one day off. Training

can be repetitious and boring, and each day Tian has to ride between four and six horses.

She became interested in horses at the age of four when she visited a horse club in a Beijing suburb and with the help of a coach sat on a horse and rode. She started formal training at age eight.

Though she has rarely fallen, her worst accident was when she tumbled(翻动) while practicing on a course in Hebei Province. Lying on the field, she lost consciousness for about 20 seconds and bloodied her right hand. When she came to, instead of crying she stood up without the help of her coach, Ji Yuping.

“Unlike other girls, Tian is strong-minded，” Ji said.

Equestrian athletes in the country do not receive much education. But Tian insists she should attend college and major in literature or English.

Despite frequent competitions, Tian has distinguished herself as a top student.

The principal of her school allows Tian to finish her schoolwork and send it to teachers via the Internet when she is away for a competition.

“I like horse riding but won't make it my profession，” Tian said.

63．Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?

A．Tian achieved a gold medal at the International Equestrian Masters.

B．Tian won a bronze in the jumping challenge in Beijing.

C．Tian has been interested in horses since the age of four.

D．A woman equestrian should be strong, patient and hard-working.

64．What can we infer from the ninth paragraph?

A．Tian was badly hurt. B．Tian lost consciousness.

C．Tian is very strong and brave. D．Tian's coach helped her.

65．What can we learn from the thirteenth paragraph?

A．Tian's headmaster and teachers all support her.

B．Tian often hands in her homework by the Internet.

C．Tian finishes her homework by the Internet.

D．Tian can't finish her homework because of her competition.

As a boy growing up in India，I had longed to travel abroad. I used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s，with great interest.

My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to Europe，where my father was to attend a meeting. We planned to travel to Belgium，Netherlands and West Germany.

I have vivid memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad. I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand，during the flight to Frankfurt. We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew. The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable，even for someone like me，who is otherwise scared of flying.

After spending almost two weeks in Europe，we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport，for our return flight. What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (莱茵河)，it was simply an unforgettable experience. I was in a sombre mood on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation，but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again，with the quality of their service.

Being the first airline to take me overseas，Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart. Even today，I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline. Flying，in general，for me，has always been an ordeal (terrible and painful experience). Flying on Lufthansa，however，is something I always have and always will look forward to.

66．Which country does the author live in now?

A．India. B．Canada. C．Belgium. D．Germany.

67．What made the author so interested in traveling abroad?

A．Growing up in India.

B．Once staying in Canada.

C．Once traveling to Canada with his father.

D．His father's stories about his traveling experiences.

68．Which of the following is TRUE about the author's trip to Europe in 1998?

A．The author traveled with one of his parents. B．Both their going and return are by air.

C．They traveled in spring that year. D．They stayed in Europe for nearly two months.

69．It can be inferred from the passage that Lufthansa is ________．

A．a city in India B．a city in Europe C．an airline company D．a travel agency

70．The underlined word “sombre”in the 4th paragraph probably means “________”．

A．happy B．sad C．angry D．enjoyable

第Ⅱ卷（主观题, 共35分）

第四部分任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

How to Take a Nap

Whether you think you need daytime rest or not, picking up a nap habit—or continuing to make time for one—is a smart, healthy move. Consider the evidence: The Mayo Clinic says naps promote relaxation, reduce tiredness, better mood and recover alertness (机敏). A 2010 British study found that compared to getting more nighttime sleep or drinking more coffee, a mid-day nap was the best way to cope with the mid-a fternoon slump (萎靡)．

The Harvard Health Letter says that several studies have shown that people remember new information better when they take a nap shortly after learning it. And, unbelievably, a 2007 study of nearly 24，000 Greek adults in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that people who napped regularly had a 37 percent reduced risk of dying from heart disease compared to people who didn't nap.

To get the most out of your rest, follow these tips.

How long to sleep: Naps provide different benefits depending on how long they are, says https://www.360docs.net/doc/662356677.html,. A 20-minute nap will promote alertness and concentration;

a 90-minute nap which includes deeper stages of sleep, can strengthen creativity. The danger zone is when you're somewhere in between, because waking up in the middle of a sleep cycle can lead to sleep inertia(惯性). So stick to 20 or 90 minutes for maximum benefits. If you wake up from a nap feeling confused or more tired, it's likely that your timing was just off.

What time to sleep: https://www.360docs.net/doc/662356677.html, says that you experience a natural dip in body temperature (the same kind that makes you feel sleepy at night) between 1 p．m. and 3 p．m. A power nap at this time can promote alertness for several hours and, for most people, won't affect being able to fall asleep at night.

How to get comfortable: https://www.360docs.net/doc/662356677.html, says it takes about 50 percent longer to fall asleep sitting up than lying down. (That's why we sleep so poorly on planes and trains！) Pick a dark, cozy place that's not too warm or too chilly. https://www.360docs.net/doc/662356677.html, recommends napping on the couch instead of in bed, so you won't snooze for too long.

Surprisingly, the best place to sleep may be a hammock (吊床) if you have one.

A Swiss study published last year found that people fell asleep faster and had deeper sleep when they napped in a hammock than in a bed. That same rocking motion that causes babies to sleep works wonders for grown-ups，too.

Consider a “caffeine nap”： It sounds strange, but drinking coffee right before a nap may be the perfect aid for maximum alertness. Since caffeine takes 20 to 30 minutes to take full effect, you'll feel even more alert after your 20-minute nap.

第五部分: 书面表达 (满分 25 分)

81.请阅读下面短文，并按要求以Our Life Rests on Our Choice为题，用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

Life is a matter of choice. Seemingly, it means a choice of concrete (具体的) things. But in fact, it means choosing a way of life. Life is to be lived and enjoyed, not to be wasted or complained about.

Hardly can we forget the time when our society faced the threat from the life-and death disease --- SARS. Yet, even during those dreadful times, some suffering people

remained optimistic. Instead of wearing white masks, some people turned to colorful ones, and thus displayed a happy mood. And some creative people dubbed SARS to mean “SMILE AND REMAIN SMILING.” People who survive these kinds of circumstances decide in their minds to carry on in spite of the hardships.

Although we cannot choose our appearance, inborn gifts and even avoid unexpected disasters and adversities (逆境), we do have the right to choose to live optimistically, to love our lives, to have dreams, and to cherish hopes.

Every morning when we get up, we have a choice of how we want to approach life that day.

Our Life Rests on Our Choice

Faced with disasters and adversities, some people choose to stay optimistic and determine to carry on regardless of the hardships. Life, to some extent, rests on our choice.

Life is full of ups and downs. When the time comes for us to make choices, we should be aware of the importance of a positive attitude. A positive attitude somehow resembles the sail of a ship, which offers us the right direction.

As a teenager, it is of great significance to take a positive attitude towards life. To stay energetic, I will stick to an exercise schedule. I will also keep myself informed of the current events and communicate more with others, becoming socially connected.

All these mentioned above will be beneficial for me to grow into an optimistic and confident young man. Only by doing so can I adjust myself to society more easily

and stay motivated towards a better life. (150 words)
