第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，共计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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

When I was sixteen years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children I learned French at school. And I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand English. But when I went to America I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language barriers.

　　How wrong I was! The misunderstandings(误解) began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my American friend Penny a call and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me.

　　“Yes,” I said, “I want to give my friend a ring.”

　　“Well, that’s nice,” he said. “Are you getting married? But aren’t you a bit young?”

　　“Who is talking about marriage?”I replied. “I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where there’s a phone box?”

　　“Oh!” he said, “There’s a phone downstairs.”

　　When at last we met, Penny explained the misunderstandings to me.

　　“Don’t worry,” she said to me. “I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from British. You’ll soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time British and American people understand each other!”

1. At first the writer thought _____ in America.
   1. he wouldn’t have any language difficulties
   2. he would not understand the Americans
   3. the Americans might not understand him
   4. it wouldn’t be an easy and relaxing holiday
2. From the passage we can see that “give somebody a ring”_____.
   1. means the same in America as in England
   2. means “call somebody” to the old man
   3. has two different meanings
   4. means “be going to get married” in England
      23. In the last paragraph, the underlined “they” refers to _____.
      1. the old man and the boyB. the Americans
         C. the BritishD. the French
         24. Penny will agree with the idea that _____.
         A. Americans use words entirely differently from British
         B. Americans speak in a funny way
         C. It will be hard for the author to get used to American English
         D. Americans and British can understand each other in most cases
         B
         Even though they were written 150 years ago, Alexander Dumas’ action novels still excite millions of readers around the world, in close to 100 languages.
         Dumas’ two most famous stories, The Three Musketeers（火枪手） and The Count of Monte Cristo, have inspired more than 100 films. The former one was adapted（改编） into a popular film, The Man In the Iron Mask, in 1998. In the film Leonardo Di Caprio played both King Louis XIV and his twin brother Philippe.
         Few people know, however, that the author was the grandson of a Haitian slave. Even fewer people know that Dumas’ father rose rapidly from a soldier to a general in the French Army before he was 31. The general died young, leaving Alexander little money. But determined Dumas conquered the problems of being poor, having received little formal education, and racism (种族歧视) to become one of the world’s most popular writers.
         Dumas’ life sometimes was just like his action novels. He took part in three revolutions（革命）and fought for the freedom of people. After making a fortune by writing novels, he built a mansion outside Paris and kept it open to poor artists, friends, and even strangers. Luckily for his fans, the mansion has recently been restored and opened to the public.
         25. Which of the following statements about Alexander Dumas is NOT TRUE? _____.
         1. He suffered from racism. B. He was well-educated.

C. He was the son of a general. D. He partly based his novels on his life.

26. Alexander Dumas’ novels _____.

A. have lasted for less than 100 years

B. have been translated into more than 100 languages

C. have attracted readers for many years

D. have not been well received until recently

27. Why was the film The Man in the Iron Mask mentioned in paragraph 2? _____.

A. To show Dumas’ novels are out of fashion

B. To advertise for the film

C. To prove the popularity of Dumas’ novel among readers

D. To acknowledge the amazing acting skills of Leonardo Di Caprio

28. We may infer from the article that Dumas _____.

A. did not live a colorful life

B. was a man who kept money to himself

C. led three revolutions in France

D. was a generous and kind-hearted man

C

Animals, including insects, do not have a language like ours. They do not talk to each other in words and sentences. But if we watch them, we can see that they do have ways of communicating with each other.

　　Can you see the rabbits' tail? When rabbits see this white tail moving up and down, they run too. The rabbit has reminded them of potential dangers without making a sound. It has given them a signal.

　　Many other animals use this kind of language. When a cobra is angry, it raises its hood (兜帽) and makes itself look fierce. This warns other animals. When a bee has found some food, it goes back to its home. It cannot tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does a little dance in the air. This tells the bees where the food is.

　　Some animals say things by making sound. A dog barks, for example, when a stranger comes near. A cat purrs when pleased. Some birds make several different sounds, each with its own meaning. Sometimes we human beings speak in the same way. We make sounds like “Oh” or “Ah!” when we are frightened or pleased or when we drop something on our toes.

　　But we have something that no animals have－a large number of words which have the meanings of things, actions, feelings or ideas. We are able to give each other all kinds of different information in words and sentences, which no other animals can do. No other animals have so wonderful a language as we have.

32. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? _____.

A. Animals do have a language like that of human beings

B. Bees communicate with each other by dancing

C. Some animals can use words

D. A dog barks to show its friendliness

33. A rabbit uses its tail to _____.

A. warn other rabbits of danger

B .tell other rabbits where food is

C. make itself look fierce

D. help it to run fast

34. What is this passage mainly about? _____.

A. Human’s language is more wonderful than animals’ language

B. People should pay attention to animals’ body language and sounds

C. Animals have their own ways to communicate with each other

D. Animals are smarter than we think

35. This passage most possibly appears in _____.

1. a newspaperB. a research paper

C. a novelD. an advertisement

Here are tips for a successful speech from a professional speechwriter.

No speech should last more than 20 minutes.36 The Sermon on the Mount, a collection of sayings and teachings of Jesus, for example, lasted hardly more than three minutes.

Focus on one topic. We’re human and tend to have lots of thoughts, opinions and ideas. You have to make proper choice. 37 Include and expand only those that explain and support your viewpoint(观点).

38 It’s important to remember that your words must be hearable and understandable the first time out.

Humour is vital. 39 Ronald Reagan always wanted to joke at the start of a speech because he needed the quick victory of laughter. It helped him relax. It also helped the audience relax.

Don’t forget to say thanks. You should always, at the beginning of the speech, thank the person who invited you and introduced you. 40 While you’re doing it, the audience gets a chance to daydream and settle down. They’re going to daydream at some point anyway, and it may as well be before you get to the heart of your remarks.

A. Choose what you are going to say carefully.

B. And saying thanks at the beginning has a practical purpose.

C. First you have to work out what you’re going to say.

D. Every speech needs it, and you need it, too, probably at the beginning.

E. Stick to one topic－the future of the soccer club, for example.

F. This process takes time, so start once you begin thinking about the speech.

G. The more important the message is, the less time it requires to say it.

We set up our tents on the sandy beach, when night fell we started a fire to give us light and keep us warm. All my classmates sat around them, talking, singing and laughing. Several hours later, Robert and I went back to the tent to have the chat. We stayed up all night. We found that we two had a lot in common.
