Boring二、阅读理解（共20题，满分40分）第一节（共30分）AWhat is Ianguage for? Some people seem to think it's for practicing grammar rules and earning lists of words —the Ion ger the list, the better. That's wrong . Lan guage is for the excha nge （交流）of ideas and information . It's meaningless knowing all about a Ianguage if you can't use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can't speak correctly or flue ntly （流禾U地）.They are afraid of making mistakes. One should n't be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign Ianguage. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard saw once wrote, "Foreigners often speak English too correctly . "But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They're English mistakes in the En glish Ian guage . And if eno ugh n ative speakers break a rule, it is no Ion ger a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right . People not only make history, they make Ianguage . But a people can only make its own Ianguage . It can't make another people's Ianguage. So Chinese stude nts of En glish should pay atte nti on to grammar, but they should n't overdo （做过头）it. Theyshould put communication first.21 . Lan guage is used to _______ .A. express on eselfB. practise grammar rulesC. talk with foreig ners on lyD. learn lists of words22 . Gen erally, whe n an America n or an En glishma n speaks En glish, he ____ .A. n ever makes mistakesB. ofte n makes mistakesC. can't avoid maki ng mistakesD. always makes mistakes23 . "Foreigners often speak English too correctly . "This sentence means that _______ .A. foreig ners speak correct En glishB. foreig ners speak in correct En glishC. foreigners speak English according to the grammar rulesD. foreig ners n ever make mistakes whe n they speak En glish24 . When we speak a foreig n Ian guage, we should _____ .A. speak in Chin ese wayB. speak by the rulesC. speak to n ative speakersD. not be afraid of making mistakesBField Trip DayOn Friday, May 16, our class will take a field trip to North Park Zoo. The zoo has lions, elephants, and other in teresti ng ani mals. Many of the ani mals we have bee n study ing will be there for us to closely exam ine.Our class will be divided into six teams. Each team will have five students and one leader. The leaders are listed in the table.What You Need to KnowThe cost is $1.00 for students to enter the zoo. We will leave the school at 9:00 a.m. and return at2:30 p.m. On the morning of the trip, the stude nts will be divided into teams. One stude nt from each team will receive a camera. The camerama n will take pictures of the team, the ani mals, and other fun sights at the zoo. All members should wear blue shirts. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes because we will be walking all day. Please bring a bag lunch and a drink. We will have a picnic at the park in side the zoo. Bring a healthy sn ack, such as a piece of fruit and a drink, for later in the day. When we are at the zoo, always rema in with your team. Do not leave the team without ask ing permissi on from the team leader. Feeding the AnimalsThe ONL Y animals that students are allowed to feed are those in the children ' s Zoo. Special foodcan be bought at the zoo for 25 cents and give n to these ani mals. Do not feed your lunch to them.It is not food for the ani mals.25. Any student taking part in this field trip should . A. spe nd at least $1.00B. carry a cameraA new word has suddenly become wildly popular in China — "tuhao" — which loosely tran slated means "nou veau riche". There have bee n more tha n 100 milli on references to the word "tuhao" on social media since early September.It's being used to describe everything from the new People's Daily building, to expensive celebrity wedd ings full of bli ng, and the new gold-coloured iPh one.In Chin ese "tu" means earth and "hao" means rich. To say some one is tuhao is to imply they come from a poor peasa nt backgro und, and have made it rich quick — but don't quite have the manners, or sophistication to go along with it. It's like the term "nouveau riche", says Professor Steve Tsang at the School of Con temporary Chin ese Studies in Nott in gham - but has even more negative meanings, suggesting a certain vulgarity （粗俗）."Tuhao" is actually an old word, dating back perhaps as far as the Southern Dynasty 1,500 years ago, but it has always meant something rather different. During the communist revolution, from the 1920s to early 1950s, it was widely used to refer to Iandholders and gentry who wouldC. draw pictures of the ani malsD. arrive at the zoo at 9:00 a.m.26. In the Children A. move freely C. enjoy their lunchs Zoo, stude nts can . B. feed the an imals D. get special food for free27.What type of writing is this text?A. A n ews report C. An in troduct ion to a zooB. An announ ceme nt D. A photo competiti on guideCbully those ben eath them.This new usage of the term took off in September after a widely-shared joke about a rich, but unhappy man, who goes to a Buddhist monk for advice, expecting to be told to live a more simple life. The monk replies in stead with the phrase: "Tuhao, let's be frien ds!"Chin ese Internet users are highly creative in their use of Ian guage, and are con sta ntly inventing, and re-inventing words as a way of getting past censorship （审查）rules. But in this case, its popularity seems to be dow n to the fact that it expresses Chin a's cha nging society so well — many people sn eer at those with wealth, but are secretly jealous.28. W hat is the best title of the passage? A. Tuhao, a new popular word in China C. The new usage of Tuhao word29. Which of the following ma y NOT be considered A. A vulgar no uveau richeC. A quick-rich peasa nt without proper manners 30. The last but one paragraph mainly tells us ____ A. what the new usage of the word is B. how the word becomes popular aga inC. why the un happy man went to the Buddhist monkD. what advice the monk gave the un happy man31. W hat does the un derl ined word in the last paragraph mean? A. respectB. envyC. laughD. disbelieve There was once a capta in who loved money so much that he cheated his sailors at the end of every voyage and took their wages.On the last day of one voyage, the ship was in a small port. It was win ter time, and the sea was very cold, so the capta in said to his sailors,"If one of you stays in the water duri ng the wholeni ght, I will give him my ship. But if he comes out before the sun appears, I shall get his wages.The sailors had heard about the captain' s cheating, so thelyiidiidBut then one totrustthem, who thought that he was cleverer tha n the capta in, said that he would do it. He got into the water, and, though it was very cold, he stayed in it. When it was nearly morning, some fishermen lit a fire on the shore about half a mile away.“ You are cheating,” the captain said to the sailor.“ The fire ' s warming you. ”“ But it ' s half a mile away!” said the sailor.“A fire ' s fire, ” answered the captain."I have won. ”The sailor came out of the water, and said, " Perhaps/youatteinkevEr because you have won my wages, but you can' t cook a chicken.”"I can, ” answered the captain. "If you cook this chicken,” said the sailor," I shall work for you without wages for sevenyears,but if you can ' t, you will give me your ship. ”The captain agreed, took the chicken and said," Where ' s the fire? ”"There it is, ” an swered the sailor."

AYou may think that sailing is a difficult sport,but it is really not hard tolearn it. You do not need to be strong. But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.First,you m ust a sk y ourself,MWhere i s t he w ind c oming f rom? I s i t c oming f romahead or behind or from the s ide?”You must think about this all the time on the boat.The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.Let' s start with the wind blowing from behind. This means the wind and theboat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside theboat. It should be at a 90° angle (角度) to the boat. Then it will catch the windbest.If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In thiscase, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45° angleto t he b oat, It n eeds t o b e o ut f ar e nough t o c atch t he w ind,but i t s houldn't f lap(摆动).It s houldn’t l ook l ike o n a f lagpole. I f i t i s f lapping,it i s p robably o ut t oo f ar,andthe boat will slow down.Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap andthe boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible,but you can'tgo in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in another. Thisis called tacking. When you are tacking,you must always keep the sail inside the boat.21What should you consider first while sailing?A.Sailors’ strength.B.Wave levels.C.Wind directions.D.Size of sails.22.What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.The boat.B.The wind.C.The sail.D.The angle.23.What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?A.Move in a straight line.B.Allow the sail to flap.C.Lower the sail.D.Tack the boat.24.Where can you probably find the text?A.In a popular magazine.B.In a tourist guidebook.C.In a physics textbook.D.In an official report.BChoose Your One-Day Tours!Tour A—Bath & Stonehenge including entrance fees to the ancient Roman bathrooms and Stonehenge—£37 until 26 March and £39 thereafter.Visit the city with over 2,000 years of history and Bath Abbey,the Royal Crescent and the Costume Museum.

This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons(神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.Simard talks about “mother trees”,usually the largest and oldest plantson which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth tothe next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies”or the networks on which they feed, we ate reducingthe chances of survival for the entire forest.“We didn't take any notice of it,” Simard says sadly. “Dying trees move。
