二．阅读理解（共两节，满分 30 分）

第一节（共 10个小题；每小题 2分，满分 20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。

A

I can’t remember the first time one of my children told me,“I hate you.” I can, however, tell you thatit still happens occasionally, but it doesn’t bother me. As their father, I often say thin gs that are unpopular.If they hate me once in a while, I know I’m doing a good job.

There are three other words that I won’t allow in my house, however. Last week, I was watching myolder son play with a paper airplane. After he accidentally threw it into a wall and it came apart, his eyeswelled up with tears.

“I hate myself,” he said. It wasn’t the first time he’d said it, and I was concerned that he’d started toactually believe it.

I knelt down next to him and made him look into my eyes. I told him that I never wanted to hearthose words again, and that he needed to respect himself.

The difference between your kid telling you they hate you and them saying they hate themselves isthat, five minutes later, they’ve already forgotten they“hate you”. Self-hate is much more potentiallypoisonous and for young people, it can linger into the rest of their life.

Kids who start to believe they hate themselves sometimes struggle to form new friendships. As teenagers, they avoid the chance to connect with a potential love interest, because they assume they’ll berejected. And as adults, they might choose not to apply for the dream job because they assume it won’t workout.

I know this is true, because I didn’t have a high opinion of myself as a child. I found myself strugglin g in many areas, and I’d hate to see my children suffer the same fate.

Sometimes, words are just words. But some words can make the kind of impact I’d very much liketo avoid for my children. I don’t fear strong language; I fear language that makes us weak.

21. How did the author feel on hearing his kids saying“I hate you”?

A. Depressed.

B. Annoyed.

C. Unconcerned.

D. Excited.

22. Why won’t the author allow the three words“I hate myself”?

A. Because the impact of thinking in this way is negative.

B. Because it hurts parents to hear their kids saying so.

C. Because it doesn’t make any sense to blame oneself.

D. Because the impoliteness of saying so is unbearable.

23. Which of the following can replace the underlined word“linger” in paragraph 5?

A. come to an end

B. continue to exist

C. begin to change

D. become out of date

B

On March 17, people around the world celebrate the Irish holiday of Saint Patrick’s Day. It is a major holiday in Ireland, but the rest of the world has influenced its celebration as much as the Irishthemselves.

Most Americans think of Saint Patrick’s Day as a big party centered around drinking alcohol. But itsbeginnings in Ireland were religious, says Mike Cronin, a professor of Irish history with Boston College of Massachusetts.

Ireland is a mostly Roman Catholic country. Saint Patrick lived in Ireland more than 2,000 years ago.He is widely considered to have established Christianity in the country. The Church honored him with aholy day in the 17th century. March 17 marks the date of his death. The average Irish person honoredMarch 17 quietly. Attending church services was the main activity. In fact, most businesses that servedalcohol would close in honor of the day.

In the early 1900s, Ireland’s government made St. Patrick’s Day an officia l holiday. By the 1960s,towns across Ireland started celebrating the holiday with parades and music. In Ireland today, St. Patrick’sDay is a four-day public celebration that includes parades, music, food, and games.

For Irish people living outside Ireland, Saint Patrick’s Day became a chance to celebrate their Irishidentity and culture. Now, countries and cities around the world celebrate March 17 in creative ways.Many countries hold Saint Patrick’s Day parades. Famous monuments, including the Great Wall of China,the Niagara Falls, and the Gateway of India in Mumbai will all be colored by green light for the day.

Cronin says that the worldwide popularity of Saint Patrick’s Day has helped the Irish government,which uses the holiday as a form of diplomacy. And for a small island of 4.5 to 5 million people it’s quiteremarkable that they have that kind of soft power.

24. How did average Irish people celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day in the 17 th century?

A. Drinking alcohol.

B. Parading in the streets.

C. Attending church services peacefully.

D. Coloring well-known monuments green.

25. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Saint Patrick’s Day is the most significant day in the US.

B. Saint Patrick’s Day plays a role in foreign affairs in Ireland tod ay.

C. Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated worldwide today as in the 17 th century.

D. On Saint Patrick’s Day, parades and parties are held throughout America.

26. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The origin of Saint Patrick’s Day.

B. The celebration of Saint Patrick’s Day.

C. The influence of Saint Patrick’s Day on the world.

D. The role of Saint Patrick’s Day in Irish diplomacy.

27. What is Cronin’s attitude towards the popularity of Saint Patrick’s Day?

A. Unclear.

B. Neutral.

C. Negative.

D. Positive.

Underneath the Greenland ice sheet lies a body of water covering an area larger than West Virginia,and until just a few years ago, scientists had no idea that it existed.

First discovered in 2011, scientists now believe it covers some 27, 000 square miles and containsmore than 100 billion tons of liquid water.

The melt-water reservoir (蓄水池) was discovered under the ice, in a south-eastern part of Greenland, by researchers from the University of Utah about two years ago. According to the BBC, atfirst the researchers expected to find waters stored in small spaces between the rocks. What they actuallyfound was a massive reservoir of water trapped in the ice, kind of like the liquid in a snow-cone. Newserquotes lead study author Richard Forster saying,“we tho ught we had an understanding of how thingswork in Greenland, but here is this entire storage system of water we didn’t realize was there.”

OK, so snow water under the ice in Greenland; why is this a big deal? Well, researchers say it couldprovide new clues to understanding Greenland’s ice melts and sea level rise in general. Voice of Americaquotes Forster saying,“of the present sea level rise, the Greenland ice sheet is the largest contributor, and it is melting at record levels, so understanding the aquifer’s (地下蓄水层) capacity to store water from year to year is important, because it fills a major gap in the overall connection of melt-water runoff andsea levels.” According to researchers, the water is 15 to 60 feet beneath the surface and likely stays fluidb ecause it’s covered by snow. They’re unsure how old the reservoir is or whether it flows into the ocean.

28. What is true about the water newly found in Greenland?

A. It is probably in the form of liquid.

B. It is widely stored between the rocks.

C. It finally flows into the ocean.

D. It came into being only a few years ago.

29. The discovery of water in Greenland is very important because ______.

A. it confirms scientists’ previous guess about the storage of water in Greenland

B. it throws new light on t he relation between Greenland’s melt water and sea level rise

C. it provides information about the possible amount of water storage in Greenland

D. it solves the problem of the shortage of fresh water in the world for good

30. What will be the best title of the passage?

A. Ice Sheet in Greenland Melting at Alarming Speed

B. Greenland Ice Sheet Contributing to Rapid Sea Level Rise

C. Billions of Tons of Water Found under Greenland Ice Sheet

D. Scientists Predicting Massive Underground Water in Greenland

Text 6

W: Can you go faster, sir? I have a meeting in 15 minutes.

You’re working hard but still can’t reach your study goals. Here’s a quick tip to help you make the

most of study time. Study with a partner or in groups. Rather than live in a cave with your nose in the

books all day, you should grab a friend from your class and study with him or her. Group studying helps

you to engage and process the information more deeply. Of course, it means more than just going to the

library together and studying with your headphones on. Have fun with study. Play guessing games. Race

to solve a math problem first and discuss it afterwards. You can also divide the class topics and take turns

teaching them as creatively as you like. Sometimes the best way to learn something is to teach it, even if

you haven’t mastered it ye t. Actively engaging in study activities with someone else not only helps you to

learn, but makes studying more enjoyable.
