阅读理解(共10小题；每小题分，满分0分)
A
Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York－he in computers, she in special education. “Teaching means everything to us，” Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some
serious thinking about life's purpose.
Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program
started by Dolly Parton's foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's hometown of Sevier, Tennessee.“I thought, maybe Linda and I
could do something like this when we retire，”Tim recalls.
He placed the brochure on his desk as a reminder.
Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination library .com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage
of book and postage discounts.
The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a looksee. “We didn't want to give the children rubbish，” says Linda.The books—reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board
members—included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats's The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna
Dewdney's Llama Llama series.
Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they
have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area.Megan Williams, a mother of
four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I've never heard of .”
The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit
there and wait to die，” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”
．What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?
A．His health problem.B．His love for teaching.
C．The influence of his wife.D．The news from the Web.
．What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?
A．Give out brochures.B．Do something similar.
C．Write books for childrenD．Retire from being a teacher.
．According to the text, Dollly Parton is________.
A．a wellknown surgeonB．a mother of a fouryearold
C．a singer born in TennesseeD．a computer programmer
．Why did the Richters go to Dollywood?
A．To avoid signing up online.
B．To meet Dollywood board members.
C．To make sure the books were the newest.
D．To see if the books were of good quality.
．What can we learn from Tim's words in the last paragraph?
A．He needs more money to help the children.
B．He wonders why some people are so busy.
C．He tries to save those waiting to die.
D．He considers his efforts worthwhile.
B
A powerful earthquake struck the northeastern coast of Japan at 2：46 p. m. local time on March 11th,2011.Japan's Meteorological Agency released its first tsunami warnings just three
minutes later.The country has one of the best earthquake early warning systems in the world.
There are over 4,000 Seismic Intensity Meters(地震烈度测量仪)in place throughout Japan to measure earthquake activity.These meters provide information with two minutes of an earthquake
happening.Information about the strength and the center of the earthquake can be learned within
three minutes.There are also concrete sea walls around much of the Japanese coastline.But these
measures proved no match for the powerful earthquake and tsunami.
Costas Synolakis is a tsunami expert in Los Angeles.He says，“Japan is one of those most wellprepared countries on earth in terms of tsunami warning.They had a warning.I think what went
wrong is that they had not anticipated the size of this event.”
He says there are two reasons for this.Japan has not had any event anywhere near as big as this
one in the last 150 years.And scientists had not expected such a large earthquake happening off the
coast of Japan.
The 9.0magnitude earthquake was the 4th most powerful earthquake ever recorded
worldwide.It was also the worst earthquake ever to hit Japan.The tsunami waves that followed were
reported to have reached as high as 13 meters in some areas.
Costas Synolakis says Japan's concrete sea walls were not built to handle such high waves.A
tsunami wave can travel as fast as 800 kilometers per hour.To get to higher ground people would
often have to travel for many kilometers.This can take more time than a fast traveling tsunami will
permit.This is especially true in cases like Japan，where the center of the earthquake struck so close to the coastline.The tsunami waves followed almost immediately.
Experts say early warning systems will continue to be limited by these_facts until earthquakes
and tsunamis can be predicted.
41．From the second paragraph we can infer that ________.
A．Japan is an island country
B．the center of the earthquake is located in the northeastern coast
C．the meters in Japan have dropped behind
D．many measures have been carried out to reduce the consequences of earthquakes in Japan
42．The underlined word “anticipated” in the third paragraph probably means “________”．
A．predicted
B．measured
C．counted
D．prevented
18．The underlined words “these facts” in the last paragraph refer to the following EXCEPT ________.
A．the concrete sea walls can't control the wave
B．it is the worst earthquake happening in Japan in the history
C．the speed of the tsunami is frightening and quick
D．there are many earthquakes in Japan
．Which may be the best title of this passage?
A．Earthquakes and tsunamis can be predicted
B．A 9.0 magnitude earthquake hit Japan
C．Japan's concrete sea walls
D．A report about Japan's early warning systems
．On which column of China Daily can you find the passage?
A．Technology
B．Culture discovery
C．Travel
D．History
答案 A [考查动词词义的辨析。mean to do sth打算干某事；而meant to do sth 则表示本来打算干而没有干。答语为省略句，补充完整为I meant to buy some butter，but...。句意：——你为什么没有买黄油？——我本来打算买的，但我忘了。]
答案 D [分析句子结构可知，第一空应为非谓语形式，devote to (doing)sth常在句子中作状语，其现在分词形式应为devoting sth/oneself to ；第二空考查动词的辨析，reward奖励；给以报酬；award 授予。句意：居里夫人由于献身科学研究而被两次授予诺贝尔奖。]
答案 C [考查冠词的用法。stage 舞台，此处表示泛指概念，应用不定冠词；players表演者，为复数名词表达泛指概念，不加冠词。句意：人们普遍认为世界就是一个大舞台，而所有的人就是这个舞台上的表演者。]

答案 A [考查短语及动词时态的辨析及应用。take the trouble to do sth不辞劳苦干某事；have trouble (in)doing sth做……有困难。由句子中的was saying及was talking about可知，空格处应用一般过去式。句意：如果他们不嫌麻烦听听我说的话的话，他们就会知道我在谈论什么了。]
答案 D [考查非限制性定语从句。表示“……中的一部分”应用介词of，且先行词为students，故引导词用whom。句意：通常情况下这门课程每年吸引20名学生，其中多达一半来自海外。]
答案 B [考查定语从句的用法。先行词为days 且从句中缺少状语，故用when引导。句意：我还记得我们军训的日子，那时候我们重复做简单又乏味的“稍息”和“立正”动作。]
答案 A [考查定语从句的用法。先行词为stage，意为“阶段”，且从句中缺少状语，故用where引导。句意：很快我们就达到了这样一个阶段，此时我们的年轻读者要多于老读者。]C 句意：这两个国家以前常常处于战争状态，现在他们和平了。at war意为“处于战争中”；at peace在句中作表语；in peace在句中作状语。

16．D 由下文的“the right decision...”可知，此处表示作出最后的决定。
17．B 他们要搬家，这说明这个电视台不在他们当地，上下两句之间是转折关系。
18．D 从下句可知他们是经过长时间深思熟虑的。discuss“讨论”；quarrel“争吵”；complain“抱怨”；think“思考”。
19．C conclude在此处意为“作出结论，推断出”。此处意为“我们得出结论，正确的决定是搬到芝加哥”。
20．A 由下文Marc的话“I can't leave my __21__. I'd rather stay here and live with Tommy Lyons！”可推知，Marc听到这样的决定感到很震惊。
21．B 因为Marc还是一个孩子，所以他不想离开的应该是他的朋友。
22．C grow used to sth./doing sth.意为“慢慢地接受或习惯做什么”。

28．A 由于Marc不愿意离开这个地方，所以他想到去Lyons家的阁楼上去躲几天。故答案为A项。
29．B 由常识可知，只有那些熟悉的景色才能让他回忆起他和家人在一起做过的事情。故答案为B项。
30．D remind sb. of sth.“使某人想起……”，是固定短语。warn sb. of sth.意为“提醒某人注意某事”，不符合题意。
31．C 由“while playing hideandseek”可知，能与捉迷藏相吻合的只有爬树，故答案为C项。
32．B “he and his father often took walks together”作park的定语，从句中缺少状语，故用where。
33．C 此处是指没有了家人，这一切还有什么意义。mean意为“对某人重要(或有价值)”。
34．A 由下句“hurried back to his house”可知，他没有花时间来回答这个问题。
35．B 由语境可知，此处应是指他边往家赶边想到底还有没有合适的箱子来装他收藏的唱片。wonder意为“想知道”。
