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，共30分）

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳答案。

A

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could.

B. The American Indians. C. The Chinese.

At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.

He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that

are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”

I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a fairly clear picture of myself.

I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feel hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”

Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.

21. What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint?

A. He refused to take the list and have a look at it.

B. He told her not to pay any attention to what her “enemy” had said. C. He was angry and told her to overcome her shortcomings. D. He told her to write down all and pay attention only to the things that were true.

22. What does “Week by week her list grew” mean? A. Week by week she discovered and pointed out more shortcomings of mine.

B. She kept on adding new ones to the list so it was growing longer and longer. C. I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.

D. Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious. 23. Which do you think would be the best title for this passage? A. My Father

B. My Childhood

D. Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend

C. The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had

B

Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24, 16, an American novelist, was once a student of St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.

His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary: “My own happiness in the past often got such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”

This Side of Paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its

success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel the Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Tales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success was

the novel The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quickly brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men. However, Fitzgerald’s problems with his wife Zelda had an effect on his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed novels

Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The Love of the Last Tycoon in 1940. While his wife

was in hospital in the United States, he got totally addicted to (沉迷于) alcohol. Sheila Graham, his dear friend, helped him fight his alcoholism.

28. How many novels written by Fitzgerald are mentioned in the passage? A. 5 B. 6 C. 7 D. 8

29. Which of the following is the correct order according to the passage? a. He became addicted to drinking. b. He studied at St. Paul Academy.

c. He published his first novel This Side of Paradise. d. The Great Gatsby won high praise. e. He failed to reorder his life. f. He joined the army and met Zelda.

A. f-c-e-a-b-d B. b-e-a-f-c-d C. f-d-e-c-b-a D. b-f-c-d-e-a 30. We can infer from the passage that Fitzgerald __________. A. had made some money when he met Zelda in Alabama

B. was well educated and well off before he served in the army C. would have completed more works if his wife hadn’t broken down D. helped his friend get rid of drinking while his wife was in hospital

31. The passage is probably followed by a concluding paragraph about __________. A. Zelda’s personal life B. Zelda’s illness and treatment C. Fitzgerald’s friendship with Graham

D. Fitzgerald’s contributions to the literary world

D

Living and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.

If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.

Communication begins with the concerns of another. It means that you can’t just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore everyone. Even if you just say

“Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.

If you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance (表达) of information, means of communication such as a letter or a message”. To keep a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it’s just by writing a note.

When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.

This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, but when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren’t as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.

Communication isn’t a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, tell the other person how you feel—listening is the key factor to communication.

32. In the writer’s view, dealing with parents is __________than with children. A. more difficult B. easier C. more uninteresting D. more interesting 33. The main idea of the second paragraph is __________. A. the importance of friendship others

C. the importance of communication generations

34. The example in this passage proves that __________. A. Sophie is very polite to her parents

B. Sophie’s parents are willing to listen to her C. explanation is the best way to solve a problem

B. to make your feeling known to

D. the disagreement between

D. communication is the solution to misunderstanding

35. All the following statements are correct except __________. A. If you don’t agree with others, you’d better let them know B. It is better to say “Hi” to others than say nothing C. If you are not able to communicate, walk away D. Communication is a two-way deal 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。

Everyone can’t live without money. 36 However, money cannot buy everything. You can’t buy the following things only relying on money you have.

Time Money is a tool for trade. We spend most of our time on this earth getting, spending, worrying and fantasying about money. 37 Instead, money takes away your time that could have been spent playing with your children or having a long walk with your friends. When the sun sets, a day goes away from our life forever. No money has power to bring that back to life.

Self-respect There are a lot of examples to prove that no money can buy self-respect. 38 If you are your worst enemy, gods of money can’t save you from the self-destruction you add to yourself.

Health As I write this, I found out that one of my best friends has brain cancer, and it is in the last period. 39 But no money can buy insurance for his life. We buy insurance for just about everything including our life but money can never bring life back.

Happiness This is controversial(有争议的). Money can buy happiness if it is spent bringing greater financial safety for the family. 40 Going after money every day can never find its destination with frequent eagerness to get more.

A. Show your respect for others. B. Self-respect is got from within. C. Money can buy a lot of things.

D. You can’t buy the time or save it in your storeroom. E. Of course money can get him the best health care possible.

F. So you should not try your best to earn money without caring about your health. G. But money can’t buy happiness if the purpose is to make money to make other people happy.
