IV.阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2.5分; 满分50分)

A

It was time for Mr. Rocco to shut up shop when I hurried into the florist’s (花店). “Now, what is it that you want?” Mr. Rocco turned to me. “I want the most beautiful flower you have.” I replied. “And just how much do you have to pay for this most beautiful flower?”I held out a wet hand showing a quarter and a dime. He nodded, and then showed me a plant on the counter. “I can give you this one for 35 cents.” he said. “Aw, gee,” I protested, “it looks like a weed!” About 18 inches high, the plant was in a small pot covered with faded red paper. “Now trust me, boy — I promise that tomorrow morning when you get up, you will find your most beautiful flower.” said Mr. Rocco.

I knew him to be a good honest man, so I agreed to take it.

It was almost midnight when I arrived home. Mom was seriously sick and using the front

bedroom. I looked in to see if she was asleep, and then quietly tiptoed in and set the plant on the table beside her bed. I wanted her to be surprised when she woke on Mother’s Day. The next morning, I dressed and hurried downstairs. The sun was shining through kitchen window as I looked into Mom’s room. She motioned for me to come in, and then glanced over at the table where the plant was. Holy mackerel! There were three big yellow trumpet-shaped blooms. It was just like Mr. Rocco said — the most beautiful flower I ever saw! When I looked at Mom, she was smiling as tears streamed down her cheeks. She held out her hand for me to come near, and then pulled me close and hugged till it hurt. Then, remembering her contagious condition and that she wasn’t supposed to touch me, she quickly let me go.

My dear Mom died the next night. The moment she hugged me turned out to be the most wonderful moment of my life. Not only had that beautiful plant helped show just how much I loved her, but I’d always know how much she loved me.

B

Science fiction writers create imaginary worlds. The way things work in your imaginary worlds will be based on actual science. So it’s important for you to be familiar with the scientific principles and inventions that are related to you r creation. For example, if you’re writing about humans living on a planet with zero gravity, then you need to know the effects of zero gravity on the human body.

Then you have to figure out the exact rules of your imaginary worlds. And you have to follow them. If humans have evolved to breathe underwater in Chapter 1, your chara cter can’t drown in a swimming pool in Chapter 3. If your robots write poetr y but not fiction, then you can’t throw a novelist robot into Chapter 8. The issue here is maintaining your readers’trust. That means the reader is willing to pretend along with you. If you start out with an ordinary detective novel and then throw in someone breathing underwater in the 6th chapter, your readers’ reaction might be, “What

the h……?” The i maginative spell is broken. You’ve pulled the readers out of their imagination. The same thing happens if you change the rules halfway.

Part of your preparation work for the novel is to map out its worlds for yourself in great detail. Decide: the history of the world, the geography, what possibilities it offers, how everything works in this new reality, and how all of these factors affect the way your characters think, feel, and react to things. You don’t have to tell your readers all the rules in the first chapter. But you have to let your readers know enough to understand wh at’s going on. This also allows you to work out logical problems and contradictions before you start writing.

When you are writing, remember to make it feel real. You are inviting readers to visit a new world. They will want to be able to see, hear, feel, smell, and even taste what it’s like. Whether your novel is about a world without disease or an undiscovered planet, h elp your readers feel like they’re actually there.

61. What’s the relationship between actual science and science fiction?

A. Science fiction promotes the development of actual science.

B. Science fiction often reflects the development of actual science.

C. Actual science limits the imagination described in science fiction.

D. Actual science provides basic principles for science fiction.

62. The second paragraph is mainly developed by ________.

A. making comparisons

B. giving examples

C. following the time order

D. analyzing causes

63. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. It is necessary to do some scientific experiments before writing science fiction.

B. It is more difficult to write science fiction than ordinary detective novels.

C. Readers of science fiction actually pretend the writers’ rules are true.

D. It is great to leave some contradictions in your science fiction.

64. The target (目标) readers of the passage are ________.

A. young scientists

B. science fiction writers

C. college students

D. professional journalists

65. The passage is mainly about ________.

A. how to do scientific research

B. how to raise interest in science

C. what to expect from science fiction

D. how to write science fiction

C

For some time past it has been widely accepted that babies — and other creatures — learn to do things because certain acts lead to “rewards”; and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that effective reward, at least in the early stages, had to be directly related to such basic physiological (生理的) “drives”as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink of some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise.

It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no reward except the successful outcome.

Papousek began his studies by using mil k in the normal way to “reward”the babies and so teach them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would still go on making the learned response with clear signs of pleasure. So he began to study the children’s responses in situations where no milk was provided. He quickly found that children as young as four

months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the movement “switched on” a display of lights — and indeed that they were capable of learning quite complex turns to bring about this result, for instance, two left or two right, or even to make as many as three turns to one side.

Papusek’s light display was placed directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting observation that sometimes they would not turn back to watch the lights closely although they would “smile and bubble”when the display came on. Papousek concluded that it was not primarily the sight of the lights which pleased them, it was the success they were achieving in solving the problem, in mastering the skill, and that there exists a fundamental human urge to make sense of the world and bring it under intentional control.

66. According to the author, babies learn to do things which ________.

A. are directly related to pleasure

B. will meet their physical needs

C. will bring them a feeling of success

D. will satisfy their curiosity

67. Papousek noticed in his studies that a baby ________.

A. would make learned responses when it saw the milk

B. would carry out learned movements when it had enough to drink

C. would continue the simple movements without being given milk

D. would turn its head to right or left when it had enough to drink

68. In Papousek’s experiment babies make learned movements of the head in order to _______.

A. have the lights turned on

B. be rewarded with milk

C. please their parents

D. be praised

69. The babies would “smile and bubble” at the lights because _________.

A. the lights were directly related to some basic “drives”

B. the sight of the lights was interesting

C. they need not turn back to watch the lights

D. they succeeded in “switching on” the lights

70. According to Papousek, the pleasure babies get in achieving something is a reflection of

________.

A. a basic human desire to understand and control the world

B. the satisfaction of certain physiological needs

C. their strong desire to solve complex problems

D. a fundamental human urge to display their learned skills

D

When we’re little, our mother is the center of our attention, and we are the center of hers.

So our mother’s characteristics leave an indelible (持久的) impression, and we are forever after attracted to people with her facial features, body type, personality, even sense of humor. If our mother is warm and giving, as adults we tend to be attracted to people who are warm and giving. If our mother is strong and even-tempered, we are going to be attracted to a fair-minded strength in our mates (伴侣).

The mother has an additional influence on her sons: she not only gives them clues to what they

will find attractive in a mate, but also affects how they feel about women in general. So if she is warm and nice, her sons are going to think that’s the way women are. They will probably grow up to be warm and responsive lovers and also be cooperative around the house.

Conversely (相反地), a mother who has a depressive personality, and is sometimes friendly but then suddenly turns cold and rejecting, may raise a man who becomes a “dance-away lover”. Because he’s been so scared about love from his mother, he’s afraid of commitment and may pull away from a girlfriend for this reason.

While the mother determines in large part what qualities attract us in a mate, it’s the father —the first male in our lives —who influences how we relate to the opposite sex. Fathers have an enormous effect on their children’s personalities and chances of marital (婚姻的) happiness.

Just as mothers influence their sons’general feelings toward women, fathers influence their daughters’ general feelings about men. If a father lavishes praise on his daughter and demonstrates (表露出) that she is a worthwhile person, she’ll feel very good about herself in relation to men. But if the father is cold, critical or absent, the daughter will tend to feel she’s not very lovable or attractive.

In addition, most of us grow up with people of similar social circumstances. We hang around with people in the same town; our friends have about the same educational backgrounds and career goals. We tend to be most comfortable with these people, and therefore we tend to link up with others whose families are often much like our own.

71. Why do our mother’s characteristics leave us an indelible impression?

A. Because we are likely to be attached to people with her characteristics.

B. Because mother and her child are the centers of each other when her child is very young.

C. Because our mother is better than our dad.

D. Because our mother is a woman who is kind to us.

72. What can we know from Paragraphs 2 and 3?

A. The mother only influences her sons.

B. The sons always think women are warm and nice.

C. A mother who has a depressive personality is sure to raise a dance-away lover.

D. The mother has an additional influence on her sons.

73. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. If our mother’s warm and giving, we love to be together with warm and generous people.

B. If our mother is strong and well-controlled, we are going to be attracted to a fair-minded

strength in our mates.

C. Mother not only gives her children clues to what they will find attractive in a mate, but

also affects how they feel about women in general.

D. Fathers influence their daughter’s general feelings about men.

74. What does the underlined word “lavishes” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A. Uses much.

B. Uses little.

C. Never uses.

D. Seldom uses.

75. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Mothers’ influence on their sons.

B. Parents’ influence on their children.

C. Parents’ impression on their children.

D. Fathers’ influence on their daughters.

II 卷(满分35分)

V. 阅读表达(每小题2分; 满分10分)

When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.” or “I know I’m late, but it’s not my fault; the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation.

However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to improve the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.

Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need.

Actually, cases of this kind are common occurrence. If your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.

This is what being a winner is all about — creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is”.

Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.

76. What is the winner’s key to success according to the passage? (no more than 15 words)

77. How will a person end up if he always blames somebody else for a bad situation?

(no more than 15 words)

78. What do problems really mean to a winner? (no more than 5 words)

79. What does the phrase “stepping stones” mean in the passage? (no more than 5 words)

80. Suppose you have difficulty communicating with your parents, how will you deal with this

problem? (no more than 25 words)

Dear Mr. Woods,

How are you doing these days?

Although it has been a year since I came back to China, I still relive the thirty thrilling and fascinating days once in a while. I owe so much to you. I know without your kindness, my stay back then would have been quite different. It is you who have opened a new world to me and taught me to see the world from different perspectives and to be grateful to people who smooth away my difficulties during that time. Looking back, never had I known a language could be taught and learnt that way, which, up to this day, remains a guide to my English learning and an inspiration for my future development.

By the way, I was wondering if I could ask you a favour. My friend, Wang Lei, is going to apply to your school this summer. Would you mind if he contacted you directly and consulted for more details about his application?

I hope you can pay a visit to China and come to my home someday when it is convenient for

you.

Best regards,

Yours,

Li Jin
