　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　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

　　A public high school in the rural town of Boonsboro，Maryland，offers a special program.Top students in the ninth and tenth grades can attend single­sex classes for math，science，English and social studies.

　　The aim is to help teenagers keep their mind on their work by keeping males and females apart.Rebecca Brown chooses the students for what Boonsboro High School calls the Academy.“What we really want to do is take that top group of kids and take them to the very highest level they can achieve here，so that they're prepared for college，” she said.They need high marks and test scores and strong teacher recommendations.They also need to be involved in activities.

　　Michael Bair has been at Boonsboro High School for twenty years and directs the Academy.His ninth­grade English class for boys centers on books that he believes boys find interesting.“The novels they're reading now，are very manly novels.They're novels that deal with the arrogance(傲慢) of man and the pride of man.”One of those books，for example，is “The Call of the Wild” by Jack London.This classic story tells of a dog stolen from his home and sold to work as a sled dog in Canada's Klondike Gold Rush.

　　On this day，the students are working in small groups.Vincent and Logan explain why they're drawing pictures that relate to the story.Vincent said，“The main character，Buck，gets abducted(绑架) and they send him off to the Yukon in a train.So I'm drawing part of the story where he's in the train.It gets you to visualize the setting of the story and gets you to think more about what's going on in the story，the important events of the story.”“Instead of just doing work sheets about it，this is a lot more fun，” Logan added happily.

　　Morgan Van Fleet likes being in the Academy.She says boys and girls act differently when they are together in a classroom.“To me，it almost seems like it's hindering(妨碍) your chances at developing yourself because you're more focused on ‘Oh，I wish they'd shut up.Oh，what do they think of me？’instead of focusing on what's the homework or what's going on in this class，what's the lesson.”

　　【语篇解读】　马里兰州一所高中对九、十年级的优秀学生实行男女生分开授课，说这样能充分发挥学生的潜能。

　　16．What is the purpose of the text?

　　A．To introduce.

　　B．To persuade.

　　C．To instruct.

　　17．In Rebecca Brown's opinion，________.

　　A．any student in Boonsboro High School can take part in the program

　　B．students in the program are expected to get well prepared for college

　　C．students can all achieve their highest levels in the program

　　D．students don't have to join in the activities

　　解析：细节理解题。从第二段的第三句Rebecca Brown所说的话再结合选项可知B项正确。

　　答案：B

　　18．The underlined word “visualize” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”．

　　A．pay a visit to

　　B．form a picture of

　　C．take a look at

　　D．have a gift for

　　解析：猜测词义题。画线词处的意思是：我画出故事的一部分，以便让你想象出这个故事发生的背景，然后让你多思考一下这个故事所发生的事情和它的重要事件。故画线词应是form a picture of“形成画面”的意思。

　　答案：B

　　19．What can we conclude from the text?

　　A．Michael Bair considers it unsuitable for boys to read the book “The Call of the Wild”．

　　B．Jack London is a main character in the book “The Call of the Wild”．

　　C．Vincent thinks that his drawings can help understand the novel better.

　　D．Morgan Van Fleet thinks the program does no good to her.

　　解析：推理判断题。从第三段的第二句可知A项错误；Jack London是“The Call of the Wild”这本书的作者，故B项错误；从第四段的内容可推知C项正确；由第五段的内容可推知D项错误。

　　答案：C

　　20．The text is probably taken from ________.

　　A．a school's introduction

　　B．a teacher's diary

　　C．a headmaster's speech

　　D．a news report

　　解析：文章出处题。本题可采用排除法。本篇文章不是学校简介，不是教师日记，也不是校长演讲，但很有可能是摘自资讯报道，报道某高中的一个新颖做法，故选D项。

　　答案：D

　　B

　　(2012年山东卷)One of the greatest contributors to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual.In 1879，Oxford University in England asked Prof.James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language.It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations(引文) showing how it was used.

　　This was a huge task，so Murray had to find volunteers from Britain，the United States，and the British colonies to search every newspaper，magazine，and book ever written in English.Hundreds of volunteers responded，including William Chester Minor.Dr. Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England.He gave his address as “Broadmoor，Crowthorne，Berkshire，” 50 miles from Oxford.

　　Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray.Over the next 17 years，he became one of the staff's most valued contributors.

　　But he was also a mystery.In spite of many invitations，he would always decline to visit Oxford.So in 1897，Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself.When he arrived，he found Minor locked in a book­lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum(精神病院) for the Criminally Insane.

　　Murray and Minor became friends，sharing their love of words.Minor continued contributing to the dictionary，sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years.Murray continued to visit Minor regularly，sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.

　　In 1910，Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America.Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.
