Ⅲ. 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分，满分40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 There are many fun, free activities that you can do as a family. All that is required is a bit of imagination and some time set aside for fun. And the best part is that these are the kind of memories a child will remember for a lifetime. Family game night Find out any of the games that are already around the house. Kids often get computer games for Christmas or birthdays, and would love to have a chance to play with their family. Or, make up some games of your own. “Charades” is a fun game to play that will challenge a child to use his/her imagination. Divide the family into teams and let each team come up with words that the other has to act out. ________________________ Pick some time for the family to sit down and come up with their own masterpiece. It doesn't need to be just a drawing -- take some old magazines sitting around the house, let the kids cut out pictures and paste them into their own montage. Or, use items from nature. Let them use leaves, pine cones(松果), twigs and whatever else they can find to create something from their imaginations. Family Picnic Taking the family for a picnic is a great way for some fun that doesn't cost any money. If the weather is nice, take them to a park or playground and let the kids have a day of playing. Or, if it is the middle of winter and a foot of snow is on the ground, set up a picnic in the living room. Family Field Trip A family field trip doesn't have to cost a dime. Ask a nearby farm if it would be alright to bring your kids out for a tour and to see some of the animals. Or take them to a park and make a scavenger hunt(寻物游戏) where they need to find certain items from nature. Ask a local business if you could bring the family for a tour to see how things work -- you might be surprised at the number of people who would be thrilled to share what they do with others, and it could be an interesting lesson for the kids. 41. We can learn from the passage that “charades” ________. A. is a computer game B. is too difficult for children C. involves acting out words D. should be played by more than four people 42 What is the best title to be put in the blank of part two? ____________. A. Family art time B. Family gardening time C. Family music time D. Family cleaning time 43. According to the passage, the family picnic____________. A. should be held in the middle of winter B. can be held inside your house C. will be very meaningful if held in offices D. will cost much money if held on a farm 44. Who might be most interested in this passage? _________. A. Parents B. Teachers C. Farmers D. Employers 45. The writer wrote this passage mainly to _____________. A. encourage children to use imagination. B. share precious family memories C. discuss young children’s interests D. suggest fun activities to families B My grandfather lived only half a mile away from where I grew up in New York. Every day, he would walk down to our house and bring my dad newspapers. Along with the papers he would bring a small bag of treats (美食) for my two brothers and me. Western New York had terrible winter weather: rain, sleet (雨夹雪), or even 3 feet of snow. Even when he was 81, he still walked the half mile every single day. As a child, I looked forward to the daily treats, but now I’m older and I realize he braved the rough weather each day just to see us smile; I now value that more than anything else. My grandfather touched many lives. A woman who had been in hospital for five years told me her story. She said my grandfather would visit her twice a week at her home: to read to her, play bridge, or just chat. It lasted for years without stop. She had few visitors. Even a hitch-hiker who my grandfather had picked up for free told me of my grandfather’s influence on his life. My grandfather took the traveler to his home. After learning that the man was homeless, my grandfather gave him a place to stay. The man told me that no one had ever been so nice to him. He later found a job in a supermarket. I was touched, but not surprised to know all of the touching stories from which I understood my grandfather’s selflessness. I have since tried to learn from him to help others. Although he died years ago, we still respect him. 46. The writer’s grandfather walked to his grandson’s home each day in order to ________. A. bring his son newspapers B. give his grandchildren some food C. take exercise by walking D. see his son and grandchildren 47. All of the following can describe the writer’s grandfather EXCEPT ________. A. kind B. selfless C. strict D. helpful 48. The underlined word “hitch-hiker” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________. A. a person who gets a free car ride when traveling B. a person who likes traveling by car C. a person who is given up by parents D. a person who travels alone and gets lost 49. From the text we can infer that ________. A. the writer didn’t know his grandfather’s selflessness until years lat er B. the writer’s grandfather went to his house except on snowy days C. the writer’s grandfather ever looked after a woman in hospital for five years D. the writer’s grandfather ever helped a stranger find a job in a supermarket 50. After learning about his grandfather’s stories, the writer ________. A. felt a little surprised at first B. followed the example of his grandfather C. was much sad all the time D. didn’t like his grandfather’s action C How I Turned to Be Optimistic I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning. I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see-—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then. The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather (继父)and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times." My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives. From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy. 51.How did the author get to know America? A. From her relatives. B. From her mother. C. From books and pictures.

A. her future will be free from troubles B. it is difficult to learn to become patient C. there are more good things than bad things D. good things will happen if one keeps trying D The Americans have been voted the world’s “funniest nationality” ---the one “best at making people laugh” ---in a global poll (民意调查), which also names the Germans the “least funny” nationality and the British “not as funny as they think”. 30,000 people across 15 countries were asked to name both the “funniest” and “least funny” nationality in a poll conducted by Badoo.com, the world’s largest social network for meeting new people, with 119 million users worldwide. The Americans were voted the funniest nationality, ahead of the Spanish --- the funniest Europeans --- in second, Italians in third and British in seventh. The voting for the “least funny” nationality confirmed(证实，证明) the view of America’s Mark Twain that “a German joke is no laughing matter”. The Germans won, ahead of the Russians and Turks. The stereotype of German humourlessness is believed to derive from their reputation(名声)for efficiency, punctuality(守时)and rationality(理性). Examples of German jokes include: “Yesterday, I met my friend Horst at the hospital. He’d swallowed a sponge. He says it doesn’t hurt but he’s always thirsty.” “When we meet someone new, one of the first things we notice is whether they make us laugh”, says Lloyd Price, Badoo’s Marketing Director. “America is a worthy poll winner”, says Price. “It’s the world’s only comedy superpower.” The British pride themselves on their humour but learn from the poll that they’re not as funny as they think. They placed just seventh of 15 --- behind the Brazilians, French and Mexicans. 56. According to the poll, which is the right order from the funniest nationality to the least funny one? A. Spanish, Americans, French, Mexicans, British B. Americans, Spanish, Italians, Brazilians, French C. British, Mexicans, Brazilians, Spanish, Americans D. Italians, French, British, Mexicans, Brazilians 57. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. The poll was conducted among 119 million people by Badoo. com. B. Spanish are the funniest nationality in Europe. C. That Germans are named the “least funny” nationality is because of Mark Twain. D. Some people think that British are funny while others think the opposite in the poll. 58. Which can be the substitute of the word “derive” in the fourth paragraph? A. acquire B. suffer C. translate D. accomplish 59. What is the author’s purpose of telling us a German joke? A. The author wants to show that Germans are good at telling jokes. B. The author wants to confirm what Mark Twain said. C. The author wants to prove that Germans are not funny at all. D. The author just wants to say that swallowing a sponge is no harm. (责任编辑：admin) |
