   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资*源%库
   A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stone may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves – the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.
   We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. But we really shouldn’t be, because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.
   This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solves problems, and calm ourselves down. Beware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying, “Good job!”资*源%库
   Words possess power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.
   Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem(自尊) and motive others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.
   21．The author argues in the first paragraph that ________.
   A．words will never hurt us at all
   B．words have lasting effects on us
   C．positive effects last longer than negative effects
   D．negative words last longer than positive effects
   22．Why should we not feel embarrassed when talking to ourselves?
   A．Almost everybody has the habit of talking to oneself.
   B．It does harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone.
   C．Talking to ourselves helps us to solve all the problems.
   D．Talking to ourselves is believed to be good for our health.
   23．The underlined phrase “give ourselves a pat on the back” in Paragraph 3 means _________.
   A．blame ourselves B．punish ourselves
   C．praise ourselves D．talk to ourselves
   24．Which of the following statements would the author agree to?
   A．It is better to think twice before talking to others.
   B．It is impossible for unkind words to be forgotten.
   C．Words always possess long positive effects.
   D．Kind words are sometimes not needed at all.
   B
   “My kids really understand solar and earth-heat energy,” says a second-grade teacher in Saugus, California. “Some of them are building solar collectors for their energy course.” These young scientists are part of City Building Educational Program (CBEP), a particular program for kindergarten through twelfth grade that uses the stages of city planning to teach basic reading, writing and math skills and more.
   The children don’t just plan any city. They map and analyze (分析) the housing, energy, and transportation requirements of their own district and foretell its needs in 100 years. With the aid of an architect (建筑师) who visits the classroom once a week, they invent new ways to meet these needs and build models of their creations. “Designing buildings of the future gives children a lot of freedom,’’ says the teacher who developed this program. “They are able to use their own rich imagination and inventions without fear of blame, because there are no wrong answers in a future context. In fact, as the class enters the final model-building stage of the program, an elected ‘official’ and ‘planning group’ make all the design decisions for the model city and the teacher steps back and becomes an adviser.
   CBEP is a set of activities, games and imitations that teach the basic steps necessary for problem-solving: observing, analyzing, working out possible answers, and judging them based on the children’s own standards.
   25．The program is designed to_________.
   A. direct kids to build solar collectors
   B. train young scientists for city planning
   C. develop children’s problem-solving abilities
   D. help young architects know more about designing.
   26．An architect pays a weekly visit to the classroom to ________.
   A. find out kids’ creative ideas B. help kids with their program
   C. discuss with the teacher D. give children a lecture
   27．Who is the designer of the program?
   A. An official. B. An architect. C. A teacher. D. A scientist
   28．The children feel free in the program because __________.
   A. they can design future buildings themselves
   B. they have new ideas and rich imagination
   C. they are given enough time to design models
   D. they need not worry about making mistakes
   C
   Are you nervous about climbing because you think it's too dangerous? Do you feel you're not fit enough to climb? Do you know how to start climbing?
   Let's consider the idea that climbing is dangerous．Being afraid is natural, but if you use suitable ropes and other climbing equipments you will feel completely safe．Climbers are usually very careful because they know what they are doing is dangerous．Accidents happen, but when they do, they tend to attract a lot of publicity．As a result, people think there are many more accidents than there are in reality．
   You cannot expect to start climbing straight away．Climbing is a challenge and challenges take time．It is necessary first of all that you achieve a good level of fitness．Begin as soon as you become interested in climbing? go to the gym, go swimming, take up jogging and continue to do so throughout your training period．
   Discover as much as you can about climbing．Visit the library and find book, especially for beginners or buy climbing magazines and look for articles which describe your situation．Look up information on the Internet．Find out about equipment, methods and places to go．
   Next, take a course on a climbing wall．There are plenty of climbing walls all over the country which have trained and qualified people as instructors．Call your local leisure centre to find out if there is one in your area. These training sessions are a quick way to get experience and you are likely to meet other beginners. After this, you can do an outside course of joining a club where you can meet climbers of all abilities and eventually join in group-climbing events.
   At first you may not understand the importance of a good training period, but after you have completed your first climb and you are standing safely at the top of a rock feeling thrilled, then you will know it was the right thing to do.
   29．The article is written by .
   A．a doctorB．an experienced climber C．a beginnerD．a fitness instructor
   30．The writer thinks a new climber should .
   A．begin by becoming fit B．have the courage to meet the challenges
   C．be aware of the causes of the accidents D．do enough sports to get interested in climbing
   31．By climbing walls you can .
   A．join a club you like B．gain controlled experience
   C．become qualified instructors D．take part in group-climbing events
   32．The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph probably means .
   A．the climbB．the trainingC．the equipmentD．the achievement
   D
   NASA has opened the door to the next generation of space discovery by announcing great plans for a base for humans to live on the surface of the moon forever.
   The project to build a base on the moon will begin soon after 2020, with astronauts living there within four years.$来&源：
   The project comes after several excellent scientists and environmentalists asked humans to look beyond Earth to ensure the survival of the species (物种).
   Eventually, the moon will be a base for humans to explore the solar system and one day land on Mars.
   NASA began planning for the first moon landing since 1972 when George Bush, the US president, announced his new plan for space exploration four years ago.
   NASA has already talked about the design of the Orion spacecraft that will replace the old space shuttle fleet in 2010.
   The plan for the moon base, however, is the first detailed explanation of how NASA intends to prepare for the first manned exploration of deep space and a possible Mars mission within 30 years.
   Scientists also believe that the south pole on the moon contain rich natural gases such as the rare helium-3 that could be used as fuel for the generation of nuclear power. Besides, teams of astronauts living there for six months at a time would mine for hydrogen and oxygen to make water and possibly rocket fuel.
   33．The reasons why NASA has begun the plan to explore space include the followings except ________.
   A. to protect Earth B. to explore deep space
   C. to finish Mars missionD. to show how powerful the USA is
   34．In the future, when people fly to the moon, they will probably not bring with them too much ________
   1. hydrogen B. food C. oxygen D. water

35．The passage mainly talks about ________.

A. the USA’s new plan for space exploration B. how to build a base on the moon

C. why to ensure the survival of the species D. where to get new natural resources

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。

Speaking is not equal to learning.

You don't need to study grammar too much. The first suggestion may sound strange to many students who begin to learn English, but it is exactly important. 36 However, if you want to speak fluently, you should try to speak English without thinking too much of grammar. Studying grammar will only slow you down and make you hesitate. You will think about the grammar rules instead of naturally saying a sentence like a native.

You can't translate every word. When you try to speak English, you do not need to translate every word from your mother tongue. 37 Another problem you may meet is that you will misuse grammar rules that you have learned in your mother language.

38 The reason why many people can learn well is that they often practice. But in order to speak English fluently, you need to practice speaking. When you study, don't just listen.

Speak out loud the material you are listening to and practice what you hear. Practice speaking

out loud until your mouth and brain can do it without any effort. 39

You should study correct material. A phrase you often hear is,"Practice makes perfect." This is not completely true. Practice only makes what you are practicing permanent. If you practice the incorrect sentence, you will have perfected saying the sentence incorrectly.40

A. You should try to speak fluently.

B. You need to practice speaking what you hear.

C. By doing so, you will be able to speak English fluently.

D. If you want to pass examinations, you should study grammar well.

E. If you listen more, you can speak correctly and fluently sooner or later.

F. Therefore, it is important that you study material that is commonly used by most people.

G. The order of words is probably completely different and you may be both slow and incorrect by doing this.

Possible version:

Learning to Respect Our Parents

Recently a program called “learning to respect our parents” is started in our school.

As we all know, respecting parents is one of China’s traditional moral value. However, as most students today are the only children in the family, they often regard themselves as the center of the family, not caring much for their parents, for the program, ten do’s have been worked out for the students to follow. For example, we are advised to remember our parents’ birthdays and express our good wishes to them. When leaving home, we should tell our parents what we will do. Besides, we are supposed to greet our parents when they return home.

The program has been very successful and has won a lot of praise from parents and other members of society.
