第二部分阅读理解（共两节, 满分40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分, 满分30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

Nuclear power is the world's largest source of clean energy. Nuclear power plants(电厂) produce no controlled air pollutants, such as sulfur or greenhouse gases. The use of nuclear power in place of other energy sources helps to keep the air clean, preserve the earth's climate, and prevent acid rain.

However, there exist safety concerns if the plant is not operated correctly or unforeseen things happened when the plant was developed, as happened at the Fukishima(福岛) plant in Japan. It may cause damage to everything, including our health. Nuclear power's danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be summed up in one word: radiation.

Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected by human senses. It can't be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can't detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can't sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things. At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being immediately by killing masses of cells in vital organs. But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no levels of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be serious. This is the case when only

a few cells are hit, and if they are killed immediately. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in a deformed way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years. This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the victim being aware at the time that damage has o ccurred. A person can be irradiated(辐射)and feel fine, then die for cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents. Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.

21.What can we infer from the passage?

A. We can’t detect radioactivity even with modern equipment.

B. Only radiation at very high levels can kill an animal or human being.

C. If a few cells are only damaged, healthy cells will take the place of dead ones.

D. Radiation is harmful no matter what level it is.

22.How can nuclear radiation kill an animal?

A. By killing many cells in important organs.

B. By killing a few cells.

C. By hitting any place in its body.

D. By damaging its heart.

23.If a human being is hit by nuclear radiation, he may .

A. die of cancer after many years

B. die immediately

C. have a child who may be born weak

D. all of the above

24.What’s the author’s main purpose in writing this passage?

A. Discussing the cause of cancer.

B. Solving the mystery about radiation.

C. Emphasizing the importance of protection from radiation.

D. Introducing the nuclear power.

One of the many great lines in the movie Apollo 13 came from Ed Harris, who played NASA Director of Operations, Gene Kranz. The famous line was, “Gentleman, failure is not an option.” He said the words because he had a clear purpose that the three astronauts trapped in space must be sent home safely. The driving force behind their seeking of a solution was motivated by a true purpose.

Here is the simple principle. If you have a big enough ‘why’ in life, you will always figure out the ‘how.’ A person without a purpose in life is lik e a boat without a rudder, floating aimlessly without a direction and going nowhere. In all walks of life, when referring to someone’s success, we often hear the words “focus and determination”. But Merriam Webster defines the word “purpose” as the reason why

something is done, a feeling of being determined to achieve an outcome. There are many talented and inte lligent people in the world that are unsuccessful because they lack direction. I believe that our life depends on our purpose. Whether you’re singl e or in a team, having a purpose allows you to start, evaluate, and improve your talents or abilities helps you find your path in life and achieve your success finally.

A friend of mine once told me that the most motivating speech he had ever heard was ju st three short words. It came from his wife when she said, “Honey I’m pregnant.” He said those few words instantly motivated him because he now had a big “why” in his life, a purpose to work hard to support his family. In fact, when your “why” gets bigger, you get better because you stop holding back and you’ll go all out. It’s why you often hear about some great people perform superhuman actions when failure is not an option!

28.What does the underlined word “rudder” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Something that gets the boat started

B. Something that makes the boat float

C. The reason for which the boat is built

D. Something that directs the boat to a certain place.

29.What is the most important thing for success according to Merriam Webster?

A. Talent

B. Purpose

C. Determination

D. Intelligence

30.The author gives his friend’s example to show________.

A. why words can motivate people easily

B. that family lo ve is very important in our daily life

C. that a purpose can make people try their best

D. how people can get success more easily

31.What does the author mainly tell us in this passage?

A. To be successful person

B. To have a big “Why” in life

C. To make a right choice

D. To get rid of failure

D

The story of the movie Inside Out mostly takes place inside the mind of 11-year-old

Riley as she moves from Minnesota to San Francisco. The main characters are Riley’s emotions---Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Anger and Fear, which guide her decisions and often compete with one another for control of her brain.

Fear is tall, thin, looks like a frayed(焦燥的)nerve and is purple. Not only that, his eyes are purple, too. Anger, which is red, looks like a brick and has red eyes. Disgust, who is green, has green eyes. Sadness, not surprisingly, is completely blue, and even looks like a teardrop. But Joy, who is mainly yellow, has more than one color in her. She has blue eyes and blue hair. Why? Well, if blue represents sadness, then the message is clear: there is no such ting as “pure joy”. Instead, even in our most joyous times, there is often sadness mixed in.

After all, one of the most joyous moments we can experience is a wedding, but it may end with the breaking of a glass. It reminds us that our world is still broken. In order words, even at our highest moments, there is always a little sadness.

But the comfort is that the reverse is often true. Think about how you feel after crying. When you cry, your body is releasing some chemicals that often make you feel good. And that’s why you feel at ease after a good cry.

Indeed, Inside Out reminds us that even th e emotions that appear “negative’ have value. In other words, Inside Out shows us that the goal of life isn’t “to be happy”. We will feel sad, angry or frightened. But we need our whole range of emotions for developing our sense of self and our relationship with others.

32.According to the author, Joy is different in appearance because __________.

A. it is the leading character in our life

B. that shows it is joy ful for a reason

C. that shows it doesn’t just mean pure joy

D. the director wants to make it prettier

33.Why does a wedding end with the braking of a glass?

A. To remind the new couple not to overjoy

B. To show the world we live in isn’t perfect

C. To remind the new couple to pay attention to happiness

D. To show the new couple about the real meaning of marriage

34.The underlined part “the reverse is often true” in Paragraph 4 means ____________.

A. sadness is as important as joy

B. happiness doesn’t last very long

C. sadness can sometimes lead us to joy

D. we should never be too happy about something

35.The movie Inside Out is meant to tell us that ___________.

A. we should attempt to be as happy as possible

B. we should control our negative emotions

C. developing our sense of self isn’t that easy

D. we need both positive and negative emotions

第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)

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。What is the easiest way to stay warm in the super cold?36.. At least that is what Santa Claus told me.

During Christmas, Dennis and I went to Finland. We brought back some tips for keeping warm in a cold temperature.

1. There layers(层)work wonders.

Start with the base layer, which sits right on your skin: choose something that can absorb sweat. 37.. A sweater is a good choice. The most important layer is the outer clothes, which should be waterproof(防水的)and windproof.

2.38..

You lose heat from every millimeter of uncovered skin, which was the biggest lesson I learned on this trip. My whole body was well covered. But I missed one sport: my face. So it often felt like the wind was going to blow my nose off.

3. Exercise, don’t just stand still.

When it’s cold, exercising may be the last thing you feel like doing, but be smart.39., and you will feel the difference. When we first got to Finland, we were freezing. But after a couple of minutes jumping around, we felt less cold.

4. If you have a heater

You may want to turn it all the way up, but it’s best to keep it at between 18 and

20 degrees.40., but not create a huge difference between inside and outside.

A. Grow a crazy beard.

B. The key is what your layer is

C. Cover every bit of your skin

D. That will keep you comfortable

E. Take a walk, faster than your normal speed

F. Don’t forget to keep your hands and feet warm, too

G. The middle layer keeps your body heat from getting away

72.Dear Mr. Robinhood,

I'm very glad to tell you that a three-day Campus Art Festival, which is from May 3 to 5, will be held in our school. During the three days, the activities start at 4:20 pm and end at 6 pm. Below are the detailed arrangements.

On May 3, a final basketball match between Class 1 and Class 2 will be going on, which is sure to be a feast for the basketball fans. May 4 will see a competition named “ I'm the best singer in Shiyan Middle School” presented by us students from different grades. What you can't miss is the Manuscraping Competition on May 5 as most s tudents will present their art work on the billboard.

We would be highly honoured if you could join us. This festival, I believe, will be quite an experience and worth your visit.

Yours sincerely,

Wang Ping
