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。
A
Crazy Festivals
Mike the Headless Chicken Festival
In 1945,farmer Lloyd Olsen attempted to cut off the head of Mike,a chicken,so his wife could cook it up for dinner.However,the bird didn’t die and lived another year and a half,making regular trips to the fair,where people paid a quarter to see the amazing headless bird.
Today,the spirit of Mike the Headless Chicken is celebrated with a two-day May festival in Fruita,Colorado,which includes live music,a golf tournament,and lots of delicious chicken.
Roswell UFO Festival
In the summer of 1947,a flying saucer crashed on a large farm outside the town of Roswell,New Mexico.The government says it didn’t come from outer space,but many top UFO researchers believe it did.
Knowing a good thing when it crashes in their backyard,the citizens of Roswell celebrate the event every July with a three-day festival that features a costume contest,a parade(游行) and other activities.Be careful,though—that odd little person next to you could be from another planet.
World’s Largest Rattlesnake Roundup
The rattlesnake,a poisonous American snake,serves an important function in nature by keeping small pests under control,but when their numbers grow too large,they can cause serious problems for farmers.That’s why every March the residents of Sweetwater,Texas,host a three-day festival in association with the town’s annual rattlesnake hunt.
Visitors can learn about rattlesnakes,take a bus tour of their natural habitat,participate in a rattlesnake eating contest and so on.
BugFest
Every September,the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh sponsors a daylong festival that focuses on something most people try to avoid:insects.
Visitors can hold bugs that are not native,cheer on racing insects and learn about beekeeping.But the highlight for many is Café Insecta,where bugs are the main ingredient(原料) in a variety of tasty dishes.
【语篇导读】本文是应用文。文章介绍了四个古怪的节日。
21.Lloyd Olsen cut off the chicken’s head because .
A.his family wanted to eat it
B.he wanted to sell its meat at the fair
C.his family wanted to celebrate a headless chicken festival

22.By writing the underlined part,the author wants to .
A.remind readers that aliens do exist
B.add an air of mystery to the festival
C.imply that he may attend the festival
D.describe the fun of the costume contest
答案:B
解析:句意理解题。根据文章对第二个节日的介绍可知,作者以客观的口吻介绍了这个外星人节日的来源及节日内容等,并未对外星人是否存在表明自己的观点。由此可推测,作者最后说“你旁边那个奇怪的矮人可能来自另一个星球”只是为了给这个节日增加些神秘气息。
23.What’s the purpose of the World’s Largest Rattlesnake Roundup?
A.To increase the local tourism.
B.To protect rattlesnakes’ habitats.
C.To control the population of rattlesnakes.
D.To introduce the importance of rattlesnakes.

A.Mike the Headless Chicken Festival.
B.Roswell UFO Festival.
C.World’s Largest Rattlesnake Roundup.

答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据四个节日的举办时间:五月、七月、三月和九月可知,世界上最大的响尾蛇围捕节是这四个节日中每年举办时间最早的。
B
Have you ever seen a talking parrot on TV or in someone’s home?Parrots have learned to copy the sounds that people make.But birds are not the only animals that can copy the sounds they hear.Dolphins,bats,and some apes can also copy sounds.Now researches have found that elephants can also copy the sounds around them.
Dr.Thane is a zoologist.She has many researches in the sounds of elephants.When she was in Ohio,she often heard some strange noises made by Malika after sunset.Malika was a 10-year-old African elephant.
Malika lived near a highway.Dr.Thane says,“I could not tell the difference between Malika’s call and the distant trucks’ noise.” She and other scientists studied Malika’s sounds.It turned out that Malika was copying the sounds of the trucks going by.Why would Malika copy trucks which she heard going by on the highway?After copying the new sounds,animals may enjoy practicing them.When they are kept outside of their natural environment,they may copy unusual sounds.That may be why an elephant can copy the sound of trucks.
“Malika was not the only elephant that can copy other sounds,” Dr.Thane says.Camero is a 24-year-old male African elephant.He spent 15 years with two female Asian elephants.Asian elephants can make chirping sounds (sounds made by birds) to talk with one another.African elephants usually do not make chirping sounds.But Camero now does.He is copying his Asian elephant friends.Dr.Thane says that elephants need to form bonds with their family and friends.She says,“They make sounds to communicate with each other.When they are separated,they use sounds to keep in contact.”
The finding that the parrot,dolphins,humans,and elephants can learn to copy other sounds shows that copying is one way that animals and people make new friends and keep old ones.
【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。鹦鹉可以学舌,其他动物也可以吗?研究发现海豚、蝙蝠、一些猿,还有大象等许多动物都可以做到。
25.According to the passage,what did Malika copy?
A.The sound of trucks. B.The sound of people.
C.The sound of Camero. D.The sound of birds.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,Malika所模仿的是卡车的声音。
26.Why is Camero mentioned in the passage?
A.To introduce a special skill of Asian elephants.
B.To show the cleverness of African elephants.
C.To clarify the meaning of the elephants’ copying sound.
D.To add another example of the elephants’ copying sound.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。文章前面重点说明了大象Malika可以模仿声音,此处提出Camero的例子进一步说明大象可以模仿声音。
27.From Paragraph 4,we can know .
A.how Asian and African elephants are alike
B.why the Asian elephants make noises after sunset
C.why Camero can make chirping sounds
D.how long it takes for an elephant to learn a new sound
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段中Dr.Thane所说的话可知答案。
28.According to the passage,why do some animals like to copy other sounds?
A.To keep in harmony with nature.
B.To please people and other animals.
C.To keep in touch with each other or make friends.
D.To avoid the danger from the outside world.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。阅读全文,尤其倒数第二段最后两句不难看出,一些动物模仿声音用以和同伴取得联系。
C
There was a strange father,John Blake,from Michigan,who named his children after a computer software term.He told the local newspaper the US traditional way of adding “Junior”or “Ⅱ”after a boy’s name was too common.So,when his son was born last week,he decided on the name John Blake 2.0,as if he were a software programmer.
Mr.Blake admitted that it took months to persuade his wife,Jamie,to accept the idea.Mrs.Blake said she asked several friends whether they could accept this name or not.“All the men,”she said,“felt the name was cool.” However,her women friends did not think so.“I think the women end up like it,” she said.
Mr.Blake told the local newspaper he got the idea from a film called The Legend of 1900,in which an abandoned baby is given the name 1900 to remember the year of its birth.“I thought that if they can do it,why can’t we?” he said.After little John Version 2.0 was born,Mr.Blake even sent a celebratory e-mail to the family and friends,which was designed to look as if he and his wife had created a new software.“I wrote things like there are a lot of new features from Version 1.0 with additional features from Jamie,”he said.And he has already planned for his son’s future.“If he has a child,he could name it 3.0,”he said.
【语篇导读】来自美国密歇根的男子John Blake受电脑软件名字的启发给自己的儿子取名为 John Blake 2.0。人们对于他这种颠覆传统的做法意见不一。
29.From the passage we know that “John Blake 2.0” .
A.is also the name of a computer
B.shows the traditional way of American baby naming
C.has the same meaning as “John Blake Junior”
D.tells something about the hope the father places on his baby
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段第二、三两句“He told the local newspaper the US traditional way of adding ‘Junior’ or ‘Ⅱ’ after a boy’s name was too common.So,when his son was born last week,he decided on the name John Blake 2.0,as if he were a software programmer.”可知2.0与Junior同义,故选C项。
30.What do the name of “1900”and “John Version 2.0”have in common?
A.They are both connected with computer.
B.They are both untraditional.
C.They both tell about the births.
D.They are to be equally popular.
答案:B

A.All Mrs.Blake’s friends support their idea.
B.The name “1900” is also a computer software term.
C.When Mr.Blake had a second child,he would name it “John Version 3.0”.
D.Mrs.Blake didn’t agree to name her son after a computer software term at the very beginning.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知布莱克太太最初不同意用电脑软件给儿子命名,她的朋友对此意见不一,故D项正确,A项错误。B项与最后一段第一句不符;C项与最后一段最后两句不符。
D
As farm kids,my siblings(兄弟姐妹) and I were expected to work hard and do our jobs.We knew no better,so didn’t really question it—at least until we were young teenagers and wondered why our friends had so much more free time than us.
That ability to depend on myself has served me very well through life.The independence and self-reliance not only affected my physical abilities.It came to shape me emotionally too.However,it can,at times,also be a huge weight to bear.
As my physical strength has been affected by rheumatoid arthritis,a disease that causes pain and swelling in one or more joints of the body,there have been many lessons for me in learning how to receive help.My health is now much improved compared to what it was a couple of years ago,or even last year.Daily challenges do still exist,but I have learned that it is OK to ask for help.
The joy that others receive in lending a hand has made me realise that it is almost selfish to not ask for help!There is no need to deny others the pleasure of helping.If we are in need,it is more than OK to ask for assistance.Physical and emotional self-reliance are strengths,certainly,when used well.But the overuse of independence is unhealthy,unbalanced and unnecessary.
Since being a mum,too,I’ve been given lots of lessons on the need to connect,and to acknowledge that I’m vulnerable and need others to rely on.There are certainly times like this in all of our lives,whether a parent or not.Sometimes life does just get too much.
If we can loosen our need for independence,though,and grow into more interdependence,ease and space do grow.The braver we are to reach out and be open,the easier life is.It not only gives us emotional relief,but it brings joy and stronger connections in our relationships.
【语篇导读】本文是议论文。自立自强、不依靠他人的确非常重要,但是当我们遇到困难时,也没有必要硬撑。向他人求助不仅可以让我们的生活更加容易,也为他人带来了助人之乐。
32.We can infer that as a kid,the author .
A.didn’t have any friends
B.had to do a lot of work
C.didn’t like asking questions
D.worked harder than her siblings
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“...work hard and do our jobs...wondered why our friends had so much more free time than us.”可推测,作者小的时候要做很多工作,所以她朋友的空余时间都比她的多。
33.The author’s attitude towards self-independence changed after she .
A.had children B.became a teenager
C.formed her personality D.suffered from a disease
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“As my physical strength has been affected by rheumatoid arthritis,a disease...learning how to receive help...I have learned that it is OK to ask for help.”可知,作者得了风湿性关节炎后才意识到遇到困难时没必要硬撑,完全可以向他人寻求帮助。
34.The underlined word “vulnerable” in the text means the author is .
A.too sick to bring up the children
B.too tired to carry on
C.weak emotionally
D.likely to give up
答案:C
解析:词义猜测题。根据本段中的“...need others to rely on及Sometimes life does just get too much.”可知,有时候生活的重担让我们无法承受,这会导致我们“在情感上脆弱”,因此我们需要依靠他人。
35.What can we learn from the author’s experience?
A.Every coin has two sides.
B.Strike while the iron is hot.
C.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
D.Where there is a will,there is a way.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第四段中的“Physical and emotional self-reliance are strengths,certainly,when used well.But the overuse of independence is unhealthy,unbalanced and unnecessary.”可知,自立自强固然很好,但是过于自立是没有必要的,甚至是有害的,也就是说“凡事都有两面性”。

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。
Five biggest career mistakes young workers make
When you begin to dive into the working world,there are a few common mistakes you should try to avoid.
36
Whether it’s asking for a raise or just voicing an opinion,it’s important to stand up for yourself in the office.As long as you do it in a respectful and professional way,your colleagues will be impressed by your confidence.
Goofing off(混日子)
You may think no one is looking at what you’re doing all day,but the fact is your computer screen can be seen by all who pass by.37Even though your boss may seem relaxed,he’s not going to appreciate an employee who seems to care more about his friend’s status updates than his actual work.
Dressing inappropriately
38 If you dress too casually,you could be sending the wrong message to your coworkers.Just because you have it doesn’t mean the office is the place to wear it.If you want to be taken seriously,dress seriously.
Being late for work
You could be the hardest worker in the office or do extra work at home,but if you are consistently late for work,you give off the impression that you’re lazy.39 Your professional reputation is a vital part of getting ahead in your industry and being late for work sounds unimportant,but could result in all your hard work being gradually ignored.
Acting too confidently
It is a common issue with young professionals.It is sometimes hard for recent college graduates to change from top-of-the-food-chain seniors to professional “freshmen.”40 In addition,you must know your place in the company.
A.Being afraid to speak up
B.Talking nervously and unprofessionally
C.One thing that can either help or hurt you is how you present yourself.
D.Now that you are out of the college,you must remember to be modest.
E.Sometimes,it can be difficult to be taken seriously as a young professional.
F.So it’s important to limit the amount of time you spend on non-work-related sites.
G.People notice who stays late and who comes in early and will form an opinion about you.
答案与解析:
【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章介绍了职场新人经常犯的五个错误。
36.A解析:根据本空后的内容可知,在办公室里为自己说话很重要,而且以恭敬的和职业的方式表达自己的意见会给其他同事留下深刻的印象。由此可推测,这里是讨论职场新人“不敢说出自己想法”的错误。
37.F解析:本段说的是职场新人“混日子”的错误。根据本空前后句内容可知,很多人都能看到你在用电脑做什么,“所以限定自己访问与工作无关的网站的时间”,而且即使是好脾气的老板也不会喜欢混日子的员工。
38.C解析:本段说的是职场新人“穿着不当”的错误。C项中的present yourself表示“你待人接物时呈现的精神面貌”,与穿着有关,符合本段主题。
39.G解析:本段说的是职场新人“迟到”的错误。G项中的opinion与本空前后的impression及reputation相呼应,表示“人们会注意谁下班晚,谁来得早,并且以此形成对你的看法”。
40.D解析:本段说的是职场新人“表现得过于自信”的错误。根据本空前内容可知,职场新人有时候很难从学校的“前辈”身份过渡到职场的“新人”身份。但是“既然我们已经从大学毕业了,我们就该记着要谦虚”并且记住自己在公司的位置。

答案与解析:
61.what解析:考查连接词。设空处引导宾语从句,且在从句中作know的宾语,又由语境可知设空处指物,故填what。
62.really解析:考查副词。设空处修饰谓语want,故填副词really。
63.whom/who/that解析:考查关系代词。设空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词those(指人),且在从句中作宾语,故填whom/who/that。
64.was invented解析:考查一般过去时的被动语态。lamp与invent之间是被动关系,又因invent表示的动作发生在过去,故填was invented。
65.would/should/could/might have been解析:考查虚拟语气。if引导的虚拟条件句中,若表示与过去事实相反的假设,从句谓语用“had+过去分词”,主句谓语用“would/should/could/might+have+过去分词”,故填would/should/could/might have been。
66.difference解析:考查名词。由the及is可知,设空处应填名词difference。
67.to achieve解析:考查不定式作状语的用法。you与achieve是逻辑上的主谓关系,且设空处作目的状语,故填to achieve。
68.to解析:考查介词。solution后常跟介词to,表示“……的解决办法”。
69.A解析:考查冠词。man是可数名词,且在此表示泛指,故填A。
70.moving解析:考查动词-ing形式作宾语的用法。keep on doing sth 意为“继续做某事”。
