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。

A

Walk into the California home of Anne Belles and her husband, Jim Silcock, and you?ll see kids everywhere playing video games, doing homework, and getting ready for dinner. There are 30 boys in this house and Anne Belles is their mom. Belles has wanted to help children since she was a kid. “I was intrigued by the movie Oliver! in the 1960s, a musical based on the Charles Dickens novel Oliver Twist. I told my mom, …That?s what I want to do. …”

Anne?s boys are from 3 to 25 years old. All of them are challenged in some way. “They each have special needs — physically, mentally (精神上), or at school,” says Belles.

Every day, a small army of childcare workers, nurses, and volunteers comes in to help cook and clean, wash 30 loads of laundry a day, and take care of health needs.

To find out how much such a large family costs, we followed Jim Silcock to the grocery store. He spent $880 on food for one week. Every month they spend $2,000 to run five cars, $15,000 for the fourteen paid helpers, and more than $10,000 on medical costs. The family receives $26,000 a month from the state government, and makes some money from a family business. All the money is spent on the children; having new clothes and fancy cars isn?t important to Belles.

How do the kids feel? 17-year-old Anthony says, “The family is there whenever I need something ... I feel like I am loved.”

“Everything I?m doing now is what I wanted to happen in my life,” says Anne Belles. “So, no regrets; this is perfect. I couldn?t ask for it to be better — maybe a bigger house, you know, would be nice.”

21. The underlined word “intrigued” in the first paragraph means “_____”.

A. fooled

B. attracted

C. frightened

D. disappointed

22. The boys Anne has raised _____.

A. are all ready to accept a challenge

B. all like Oliver Twist

C. all have disabilities

D. are all teenagers

23. For Anne and her husband, raising 30 boys _____.

A. is their dream

B. is no small task

C. is a piece of cake

D. is their family tradition

24. What do 17-year-old Anthony?s words mean?

A. He is satisfied with his family.

B. He has learnt how to love others.

C. He wants to get more care and love.

D. He is still looking for his own family.

B

Backpacking in Europe is a wonderful experience for young people around the world. After high school or university, you can plan a European backpacking trip.

Packing

As you plan the things you will carry, bring warm clothes and a raincoat or umbrella to deal with changing weather in different European countries. Europeans like dressing nicely, and good clothes will make you feel less like a dusty backpacker. It is not worth taking the trouble to bring a hair dryer or shampoo, as you can buy basic necessities in Europe.

Hostels

The cheapest places to sleep when backpacking in Europe are hostels (where people can stay and eat fairly cheaply). Most hostels have a lot of information about low-cost ways to see local attractions, and many offer tours. The cost for hostel beds differs from country to country. In Paris, you might pay 30 euros, but in Bulgaria, you can get a bed for 10 euros. In general, hostels are more expensive in large, popular cities such as Paris, Rome and London.

_____

Many backpackers use rail passes (火车通票), which allow unlimited (不受限的) travel within country groups over a period of time. If you have the time to travel by train and will be traveling in a country group, this can be a good deal. Otherwise, you may consider point-to-point tickets, local trains, buses and airlines such as Ryanair, easyJet and Wizz Air, which offer cheap flights.

Food

Eating out in Europe can come with a high cost, and the best way to cut your food budget (预算) is to cook meals in the shared kitchens in hostels. You can make several meals into picnics to take advantage of Europe?s parks. When shopping for your picnic, try and b uy at a local market. You

save some euros while supporting the local industry at the same time. When eating out, choose restaurants away from tourist attractions.

25. Which of the following is an advantage of hostels?

A. They are often built in popular cities.

B. They are mainly open to young people.

C. They usually provide tour information.

D. They always ask the same price for their beds.

26. Which of the following can be put in the blank in the text?

A. Traveling.

B. Shopping.

C. Entertainment.

D. Transportation.

27. To make a cheap trip in Europe, you?d better _____.

A. eat meals on the train

B. choose a restaurant near a park

C. enjoy a meal sold at a local market

D. cook your own meals at the hostel kitchen

C

The first day of the month of May is known as May Day. It is the time of year when warmer weather begins. People celebrate the coming of summer with customs that are expressions of joy and hope after a long winter. Today, May Day activities have been moved to the May Day holiday on the first Monday of the month. It is a public holiday when families take advantage of the time off to visit some of the UK?s many attractions, including parks, zoos, historic buildings, ancient towns and villages and beautiful countryside.

May Day celebrations have their origins in the Roman festival of Flora, the goddess of fruit and flowers, which marked the beginning of summer. People would decorate their houses and villages with leaves and flowers they picked at daybreak in the belief that the vegetation spirits would bring good luck. In the very early morning, young girls went into the fields and washed their faces with dew (露水). They believed this made them very beautiful for the following year.

May Day was an important day in the Middle Ages and was a favorite holiday of many English villages. People of the time used to cut down young trees and stick them in the ground in the village to mark the arrival of summer. This is the origin of the maypole (五月柱). People danced around them in celebration of the end of winter. Maypoles were once common all over England and were kept from one year to the next. The tallest maypole is said to have been put up in London on the

Strand in 1661. It stood more than 143 feet high and was cut down in 1717, when it was used by Newton to support a new reflecting telescope (反射式望远镜) invented by Dutch scientist Huygens.

28. How do British people celebrate May Day?

A. They visit friends and family members.

B. They spend a lot of time shopping around.

C. They show great love for the long winter.

D. They celebrate it on the first Monday of May.

29. The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refers to _____.

A. going into the fields

B. picking flowers at daybreak

C. washing the face with dew

D. getting up early in the morning

30. What can we learn about the maypole?

A. People climb it on May Day.

B. It dates from the Middle Ages.

C. It was usually found in the cities.

D. People used old, tall trees to make it.

31. The purpose of the text is to _____.

A. describe Roman customs

B. introduce a British festival

C. suggest spring family activities

D. explain the origins of maypoles

D

Recently, Odyssey Marine Exploration, a company that specially saves ships that have been destroyed at sea, or recovers the things on them, found some riches from a long-sunken ship called the SS Central America. It pulled in five gold bars and two gold coins weighing a total of 66 pounds. This discovery marks just the beginning of Odyssey?s recovery of treasure from the SS Central America.

In September 1857, the SS Central America left Panama, carrying at least 3 tons of gold coins and bars. It was sailing to New York City to send the gold to Manhattan banks. But along the way, it was caught up in a storm off the coast of South Carolina. The storm destroyed the ship, and caused it to sink. Of the more than 570 people on board, 425 died.

Ocean explorers discovered the ship in 1988. They sent a machine to check the ship and brought back some of the treasure. Altogether, they pulled in a total of 2 tons of gold bars and coins. But the recovery had to stop. Many different groups of people believed that they were the legal owners of the gold. They sued (控告) the recovery team. It took more than 20 years before people decided how to divide the lost treasure. Once this problem was solved, Odyssey Marine Exploration was chosen to pull up the remaining gold.

Recovering the treasure will be expensive. Odyssey believes the remaining treasure could be worth as much as $85 million. The recent discovery shows that the gold on the ship has probably not been stolen. “It means that nobody has come to the ship since 1991, when I was last there,” says Bob Evans, a scientist who was part of the recovery team. Evans cannot wait to see what other surprises the ship may hold.

32. What did Odyssey discover recently?

A. A new coast.

B. Some treasure.

C. Many gold coins.

D. A long-sunken ship.

33. What can we learn about the SS Central America?

A. It was found two centuries after it sank.

B. It sank because of the heavy gold.

C. All of its sailors died when it sank.

D. There is at least one ton of gold left on it now.

34. How does Bob Evans feel about the coming recovery?

A. Worried.

B. Doubtful.

C. Hopeful.

D. Uninterested.

35. What is the main idea of the text?

A. A lost ship has been found.

B. New ways to find treasure.

C. Gold is being recovered underwater.

D. The secrets of the undersea world.

Car washes are a common sight throughout Nigeria, but MadinatAliyu?s roadside business is very special: she is the only woman car-washer in the north of the country.

“This job has caused me a lot of problems,” said the 27-year-old, checking cars waiting to be cleaned in Gusau, the capital of Zamfara state.

Aliyu took up her work two years ago, hoping to use the 7,000 naira (￡28) she earned every month to put her younger sisters and brothers through school following the death of their mother, the only one who made money to support the family. But her family begged her to stop doing this job, and she has received “judgment and warnings” from strangers too.

“My grandmother cried for many days. Some people thought it was a joke to bring mor e customers. Others said if she is doing it for money, let?s just give her money to stop bringing us shame,” she said as she got water from a well by the roadside. “But I hate laziness or depending on somebody else.”

However, Aliyu has admirers. “Some customers only allow her to wash their cars,” said her colleague (同事) Shamsudeen Mohammed. “I was trained to wash cars by men, and I can honestly tell you women are better to work under,” he added.

Recently another woman came to Aliyu to ask for advice on starting her own car wash. “Unfortunately her family discouraged her. I told her, if you listen to them, you will find yourself begging or marrying a man who is older than your grandfather,” she said.

Though she is considered a pariah (贱民) by many, Aliyu has n o plans to stop her work. “I see men doing something and I think I can do it too.”

51. MadinatAliyu washes cars mainly to _____.

A study of 27,000 men showed those skipping (不吃) breakfast were at a greater risk of heart problems. The British Heart Foundation said breakfast helped people resist (抵制) sugary snacks before lunch.

The men, aged 45-82, were studied for 16 years. During that time there were more than 1,500 heart attacks or cases of deadly heart failure. However, people who skipped breakfast were 27% more likely to have heart problems than those who started the day with a meal. The researchers took into consideration other lifestyle risk factors (因素) such as smoking and exercise.

Researcher Dr Leah Cahill told the BBC: “The take-home message is to eat in the morning when you wake up, preferably within an hour. The results show that something is better than nothing, but it?s always better to have something healthy and balanced.”

She said the timing of the meal seemed to be key and waiting until lunch rather than “having breakfast” may be straining (损伤) the body over time. This could be increasing the risk of high

blood pressure and fa tness which could in turn damage the heart. “Don?t skip breakfast,” Dr Cahill suggested.

Victoria Taylor, an expert with the British Heart Foundation, said: “These researchers only looked at men aged over 45, so we would need to see further research to prove that breakfast has the same effect on the heart health of other groups of people. What we do know is that a healthy breakfast can make that mid-morning biscuit less tempting, as well as giving you another opportunity to widen the variety of foods in your diet. Cereals (谷类食品) with low fat milk are a good way to start the day. Try a banana or dried fruit on top and you?ll be on your way to a fine day before you?ve even left the house.”

58. What does the text mainly deal with?

A. The effects of snacks on the health of the heart.

B. An interview by the BBC on people?s lifestyles.

C. What a healthy and balanced diet should contain.

(CNN) — This photograph of two men sharing a drink 30 meters below the water is part of an art project exploring the mysterious world of freediving — a form of underwater diving that relies on a diver?s ability to hold his or her breath until resurfacing rather than on the use of oxygen tanks (氧气瓶).

Each man, dressed in shirt, jeans and sunglasses, sits in a chair at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea with local sharks — harmless to humans —swimming just meters away. Of course, these aren?t ordinary men, but freedivers: extreme athletes who dive on a single breath of air.

American photographer Lia Barrett had been taking pictures of brave divers competing at the Caribbean Cup off the coast of Honduras, when she decided to create a fantastic underwater world in which humans go about everyday tasks — such as drinking coffee or riding bikes.

“After the competitors had a great time in the new national and world records set at the competition, I took advantage of their breath-holding skills to do photo shoots I had only dreamed of before,” said the 29-year-old.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Barrett is often asked whether the amazing pictures are Photoshopped. She laughs quietly as she insists they?re 100% real.

The picture of two men having coffee took 50 minutes to create, with the men receiving oxygen from standby assistants around every three minutes.

“On the way back up, we were holding onto the table during our decompression (减压) stop in the strong current (水流) —it was quite a scene.”

The underwater models made an 11-minute stop on the way back to the surface, making sure they didn?t rise too quickly and suffer decompression sickness — which can cause deadly blackouts (眩晕).

62. The photograph mentioned in the first paragraph _____.

A. has set a new world record

B. aims to call on people to protect sharks

C. realizes the photographer Barrett?s dream

D. is one activity of the Caribbean Cup

63. The Caribbean Cup held off the coast of Honduras mainly shows competit ors? _____.

A. swimming skills

B. Photoshop skills

C. photography skills

D. breath-holding skills

64. Many people think the picture of two men having coffee below the water is _____.

A. not real

B. not perfect

C. not surprising

D. not interesting

65. Why did the two models make an 11-minute stop on the way back to the surface?

A. To have more photographs taken.

B. To enjoy the underwater world.

C. To bring back the table.

D. To avoid getting sick.

As students, a good score is very important to us. In order to get a good score, many students spend most of their time on study. As a result, some students are weak, and some are facing the problem of obesity.

However, I strongly believe that a healthy lifestyle is much more important. A healthy lifestyle means eating healthy food and doing exercise, which will benefit us a lot. A balanced diet and everyday exercise will keep us fit and energetic. And with a healthy body, we will be happy and confident, which makes it possible for us to study better.

So to get a good score, we should first have a healthy lifestyle.

Scope: What led you to start an urban (城市的) garden?

Denzel: When I was 14, I went on a service trip to New Orleans. My group helped build an urban garden in a neighborhood that had all the same problems as mine.

Scope: Tell us about your neighborhood in Philadelphia.

Denzel: There is crime (犯罪) and violence, and everybody used to see it as a place where there was nothing to do. Because there wasn?t a lot of fresh food around, a typical (典型的) meal would be something like chips, soda, or cheese sticks.
