第一节 阅读理解
A
September 21, 2050--At a press conference today it was announced that the first tourist heading for Mars will be the 38-year-old US businessman Patrick Clifford.He will leave the earth in the launching window of June 2052 and set his foot on the surface of Mars in November, together with the other 6 astronauts assigned for the mission to further explore the planet.
Patrick has now two years of training ahead of him to get ready for the trip. Not only will he spend five months in getting to Mars, but another 600 days there before he can go back home. Patrick was of course very excited, “This has been my dream since I was four, and seeing the first man on Mars 20 years ago made me realize that it was possible.”
To be able to pay the $ 1.3 billion for his ticket for the trip Patrick sold his majority stake(股份)in the company his father had built.“I know that my father would have been proud of me if he had still been alive today, he knew what this means to me”, says Patrick. There is no risk though that you will find Patrick begging in your street corner when he comes back, but it is said that he was paid twice as much for his part of the company.
So, how is he going to spend his 600 days on the red planet？“Well, since I don’t have a job when I get back after selling the company, I have plenty of time to come up with a new business idea”, he says and laughs. If he brings a shovel (铁锹) he can start building the first hotel there, but maybe he shouldn’t expect too many guests until someone can offer a cheaper ticket.
21. How long will Patrick Clifford be away before he comes back
A. About five months. B. About two years.
C. About 600 days. D. About 750 days.
22. The underlined part in Paragraph 3 means that ________．
A. the trip will turn Patrick into a beggar
B. Patrick will get much money from the trip
C. we needn’t worry about Patrick’s economic condition
D. it’s likely that Patrick will be very poor after he comes back
23. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Patrick is an optimistic man.
B. A total of six people will go to Mars.
C. Patrick’s father felt excited at the news.
D. Patrick will spend all his money on the trip.
B
When we do not understand each other’s language, we can talk with the help of body language.
A Frenchman was once travelling in England. He could not speak English at all.One day he went into a restaurant and sat down at a table. When the waiter came, he opened his mouth, put his fingers in it and took them out again. He wanted to say, “Bring me something to eat.” The waiter soon brought him a cup of tea. The man moved his head from side to side.The waiter understood him and took the tea away. In a moment he came again with a cup of coffee and put it on the table. The man again refused his offer. He shook his head whenever the waiter brought him something to drink. When the man was going away, another man came in. This man saw the waiter,and he put his hands on his stomach. That was enough. In a few minutes there was a large plate of meat and vegetables on the table in front of him.

I must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with books. There was not one night that I don’t remember Mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded.
I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the newspaper this morning,” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading
This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said, “The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf,” I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.
Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make A’s on my tests. Occasionally, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn’t enjoy this type of reading. I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument.
Yet, now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don’t have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax.
We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is a vital part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless.
28 Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom’s hands
A. She wanted mom to read the news to her.
B. She was anxious to know what had happened.
C. She couldn’t wait to tear the newspaper apart.
D. She couldn’t help but stop mom from reading.
29. What was the author’s view on factual reading
A. It would help her update test-taking skills.
B. It would allow much room for free thinking.
C. It would provide true and objective information.
D. It would help shape a realistic and serious attitude to life.
30. The author takes novel reading as a way to ________.
A. explore a fantasy land
B. develop a passion for leaning
C. learn about the adult community
D. get away from a confusing world
31. What could be the best title for the passage
A. The Magic of Reading.
B. The Pleasure of Reading.
C. Growing Up with Reading.
D. Reading Makes a Full Man.
D
Not long ago, people could only buy organic food in small shops. Today it is common in most major supermarkets. The reason for the increase is that more and more people are demanding food grown without chemicals. Since the 1990s, organic farm production has gone up continuously. This pattern is expected to continue around the globe.
Australia leads the world in land used as for organic agriculture. It has four times as all of Asia. However, most of the land is not very fertile, and it only produces a modest amount of food. Argentina is a distant second, followed by Brazil, the United States and China. In Africa, only a very small amount of land is registered for organic farming. That does not mean Africa relies on chemicals. In fact, many farmers do not use chemicals because they cannot afford them. Yet there are no programmes for these farmers to prove they do not use chemicals. Without these programmes their food can never be approved organic.
India has had the most dramatic recent increase in organic farming. Like many other countries, India sees continual growth in organic food sales around the world. This, of course, leads to growth in profits. Sales of organic food were more than doubled from 2000 to 2005. Like India, many countries are trying to increase commercial organic farming to get a share of the sales. This has led to criticism. Some people believe that organic farming should not just be about making money. They think the goal is to help the environment. Others say organic farming will not continue if it is not profitable. They say that people should be able to make money while providing healthy food for mankind.
32. What is the passage mainly about
A. Organic food has become much more common.
B. Organic farming is growing around the world.
C. People do not want to eat food with chemicals in it.
D. Countries all want to make money from organic farming.
33. Why do people want to increase organic farming
A. More and more people demand chemicals to grow food.
B. Organic food is good for Earth and the human beings.
C. There are fewer chemicals available to the human beings.
D. Profits from organic farming help make approval programmes.
34. From the passage, it can be said that__________.
A. India uses the least land to organic farming.
B Brazil uses less land to organic farming than China.
C. the US is the fourth largest organic farming country.
D. China and India have the same amount of organic farmland.
35. It can be inferred from the passage that__________.
A. people who eat food with chemicals have shorter lifespan.
B. India will soon become the largest country of growing organic food.
C. more countries will farm organically as the environment gets worse.
D. there will be fewer organic farms if the demand for organic food goes down.

When I was eleven years old, I had a big accident. I get scared even now when I think about that time. I went skating near my house. There were many people, and I saw some of them falling on the ice.
It was my first time to go ice skating, so I was nervous. I was wondering how to skate.
I went with a friend who was very skillful. He spent some time teaching me how to skate, but I didn't learn much. He left me and skated all around. As soon as he left, I fell down. I envied the other people because they could skate well.
I was bored because I kept falling so I took off my skates and just walked around on the ice in my shoes. It was cold and my hands were frozen.
Suddenly, I stepped on something that was not hard. What was it It was a weak place in the ice. When I stepped there, I sank under the ice. I thought that I was going to die, but I did my best to grab something to get out from under the ice. I tried to grab the edge of the ice, but it was very difficult for an eleven-year' old child.
It seemed like a very long time, like a year. Then, fortunately, someone helped me. He grabbed my arms and pulled me up. So, I lived and I'm still alive today.
I thanked him. At that time, my friend came back. I was annoyed at him because he was supposed to take care of me, but he didn't. He was embarrassed. When I took a taxi home, the taxi driver was surprised and asked what had happened. I didn't want to say anything because I was tired and scared. Even now, whenever I think about that time, I feel uncomfortable. I don't want to go skating again even now.

【答案】18. C 19. B 20. B
【解析】
【原文】W: Today, about 15% of people are left-handed. But why are people left-handed The answer has to do with the way the brain works. The brain has two halves—the right half controls the left side of the body, and the left controls the right side of the body. So, right-handed people have a strong left brain, and left-handed people have a strong right brain. The two halves of the brain are about the same size. But each side controls different things. The left side controls language, maths and logic. When you remember new words, or when you put things in order, you use your left side. The right side of the brain controls your love of art, colours, and music. It is also good at recognising faces. This doesn’t mean that all artists are left-handed and all lawyers are right-handed. Some right-handers have a strong right brain, and some left-handers have a strong left brain.

A
September 21, 2050--At a press conference today it was announced that the first tourist heading for Mars will be the 38-year-old US businessman Patrick Clifford.He will leave the earth in the launching window of June 2052 and set his foot on the surface of Mars in November, together with the other 6 astronauts assigned for the mission to further explore the planet.
Patrick has now two years of training ahead of him to get ready for the trip. Not only will he spend five months in getting to Mars, but another 600 days there before he can go back home. Patrick was of course very excited, “This has been my dream since I was four, and seeing the first man on Mars 20 years ago made me realize that it was possible.”
To be able to pay the $ 1.3 billion for his ticket for the trip Patrick sold his majority stake(股份)in the company his father had built.“I know that my father would have been proud of me if he had still been alive today, he knew what this means to me”, says Patrick. There is no risk though that you will find Patrick begging in your street corner when he comes back, but it is said that he was paid twice as much for his part of the company.
So, how is he going to spend his 600 days on the red planet？“Well, since I don’t have a job when I get back after selling the company, I have plenty of time to come up with a new business idea”, he says and laughs. If he brings a shovel (铁锹) he can start building the first hotel there, but maybe he shouldn’t expect too many guests until someone can offer a cheaper ticket.
21. How long will Patrick Clifford be away before he comes back
A. About five months. B. About two years.
C. About 600 days. D. About 750 days.
22. The underlined part in Paragraph 3 means that ________．
A. the trip will turn Patrick into a beggar
B. Patrick will get much money from the trip
C. we needn’t worry about Patrick’s economic condition
D. it’s likely that Patrick will be very poor after he comes back
23. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Patrick is an optimistic man.
B. A total of six people will go to Mars.
C. Patrick’s father felt excited at the news.
D. Patrick will spend all his money on the trip.

I must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with books. There was not one night that I don’t remember Mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded.
I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the newspaper this morning,” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading
This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said, “The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf,” I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.
Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make A’s on my tests. Occasionally, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn’t enjoy this type of reading. I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument.
Yet, now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don’t have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax.
We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is a vital part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless.
28. Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom’s hands
A. She wanted mom to read the news to her.
B. She was anxious to know what had happened.
C. She couldn’t wait to tear the newspaper apart.
D. She couldn’t help but stop mom from reading.
29. What was the author’s view on factual reading
A. It would help her update test-taking skills.
B. It would allow much room for free thinking.
C. It would provide true and objective information.
D. It would help shape a realistic and serious attitude to life.
30. The author takes novel reading as a way to ________.
A. explore a fantasy land
B. develop a passion for leaning
C. learn about the adult community
D. get away from a confusing world
31. What could be the best title for the passage
A. The Magic of Reading.
B. The Pleasure of Reading.
C. Growing Up with Reading.
D. Reading Makes a Full Man.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. C

In these worlds I can become anyone.(然而，现在我在成长，我曾经认为如此简单的世界变得越来越复杂，我发现自己需要一种逃避的方式。通过打开一本小说，我可以摆脱负担，进入一个奇妙而神秘的世界，在那里我现在是一个新的角色。在这些世界里，我可以成为任何人)”可知，作者感觉简单的世界变得越来越复杂，把阅读小说作为一种逃离复杂世界的方式。故选D。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“I must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with books. There was not one night that I don’t remember Mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded.(我一直都知道阅读是非常重要的，因为我小时候的第一段记忆就是关于书籍的。没有一个晚上我不记得妈妈在我床边给我读故事书。我被那些词汇美妙的声音所鼓舞)”以及第五段“Yet, now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character.

D
Not long ago, people could only buy organic food in small shops. Today it is common in most major supermarkets. The reason for the increase is that more and more people are demanding food grown without chemicals. Since the 1990s, organic farm production has gone up continuously. This pattern is expected to continue around the globe.
Australia leads the world in land used as for organic agriculture. It has four times as all of Asia. However, most of the land is not very fertile, and it only produces a modest amount of food. Argentina is a distant second, followed by Brazil, the United States and China. In Africa, only a very small amount of land is registered for organic farming. That does not mean Africa relies on chemicals. In fact, many farmers do not use chemicals because they cannot afford them. Yet there are no programmes for these farmers to prove they do not use chemicals. Without these programmes their food can never be approved organic.
India has had the most dramatic recent increase in organic farming. Like many other countries, India sees continual growth in organic food sales around the world. This, of course, leads to growth in profits. Sales of organic food were more than doubled from 2000 to 2005. Like India, many countries are trying to increase commercial organic farming to get a share of the sales. This has led to criticism. Some people believe that organic farming should not just be about making money. They think the goal is to help the environment. Others say organic farming will not continue if it is not profitable. They say that people should be able to make money while providing healthy food for mankind.
32. What is the passage mainly about
A. Organic food has become much more common.
B. Organic farming is growing around the world.
C. People do not want to eat food with chemicals in it.
D. Countries all want to make money from organic farming.
33. Why do people want to increase organic farming
A. More and more people demand chemicals to grow food.
B. Organic food is good for Earth and the human beings.
C. There are fewer chemicals available to the human beings.
D. Profits from organic farming help make approval programmes.
34. From the passage, it can be said that__________.
A. India uses the least land to organic farming.
B. Brazil uses less land to organic farming than China.
C. the US is the fourth largest organic farming country.
D. China and India have the same amount of organic farmland.
35. It can be inferred from the passage that__________.
A. people who eat food with chemicals have shorter lifespan.
B. India will soon become the largest country of growing organic food.
C. more countries will farm organically as the environment gets worse.
D. there will be fewer organic farms if the demand for organic food goes down.
【答案】32. B 33. B 34. C 35. D
【解析】

【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Since the 1990s, organic farm production has gone up continuously. This pattern is expected to continue around the globe.(自20世纪90年代以来，有机农业生产持续增长。这种模式预计将在全球范围内继续下去。)”可知，世界各地有机农业生产在持续增长。纵观全文，这也是本文的主题。故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The reason for the increase is that more and more people are demanding food grown without chemicals.(增加的原因是越来越多的人要求种植不含化学物质的食物。)”可知，人们需求不含化学物质的食物，即有机食物，所以说人们想要增加有机农业是因为有机食品对地球和人类都有好处。故选B项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Australia leads the world in land used for organic agriculture.(澳大利亚在有机农业用地方面居世界领先地位。)”和“Argentina is a distant second, followed by Brazil, the United States and China.(阿根廷远远排在第二位，其次是巴西、美国和中国。)”可知，美国是第四大有机农业国家。故选C项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Sales of organic food were more than doubled from 2000 to 2005. Like India, many countries are trying to increase commercial organic farming to get a share of the sales.(从2000年到2005年，有机食品的销量增长了一倍多。像印度一样，许多国家都在努力增加商业有机农业，以获得销售份额。)”可知，许多国家增加商业有机农业，说明人们对有机食品需求增长，所以可推知，如果有机食品需求下降，有机农场就会减少。故选D项。

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。中国饮食越来越受到外国友人的欢迎，与此同时，随着社会的发展，越来越多的人外出就餐。作者认为，外出就餐过多会带来费用支出过多和健康问题，我们应学着享受做饭的乐趣。
【56题详解】
考查名词。句意：做中国菜被认为特别麻烦。空前是形容词，所以空处应填名词作宾语，dish意为“菜肴”，为可数名词，根据句意，用复数形式。故填dishes。
【57题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：许多来中国的西方人一旦意识到在外面吃饭是多么便宜，就会比在自己的国家做饭少得多。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词是westerners，指人，在从句中作主语，用who或者that引导。故填who或that。
【58题详解】
考查代词。句意：许多来中国的西方人一旦意识到在外面吃饭是多么便宜，就会比在自己的国家做饭少得多。分析句子结构可知，本句是how引导的宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，根据句意，此处应是it作形式主语，to eat out作真正的主语。故填it。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我还记得去拜访一位在这里住了五年的朋友，当我得知她这么长时间里一次都没做过饭时，我很震惊。remember doing sth.意为“记得做过某事”，用动名词作宾语。故填visiting。
【60题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：我还记得去拜访一位在这里住了五年的朋友，当我得知她这么长时间里一次都没做过饭时，我很震惊。分析句子结构可知，shock作本句谓语，和主语I之间是被动关系，用被动语态，根据后文的learned可知，用一般过去时。故填was shocked。
【61题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：近年来，对于许多年轻人来说，经常外出就餐似乎变得越来越普遍，但这并非没有代价。分析句子结构可知，空前的to是不定式标志，空处填动词原形，根据时间状语in recent years可知，用现在完成时。故填have become。
【62题详解】
考查形容词。句意：最明显的就是钱；每周出去吃一两次饭可能负担得起，但大部分时间都这样做就会花很多钱。空前是系动词，所以空处应填形容词作表语，afford的形容词形式是affordable，意为“负担的起的”。故填affordable。
【63题详解】
考查形容词。句意：你的健康可能会付出更高的代价。空后是名词，所以空处应填形容词作定语，根据even可知用比较级。故填higher。
【64题详解】
考查名词。句意：研究人员发现，在外面吃的食物的增加和体重问题的增加之间存在直接联系。根据所给提示词，此处为名词weight作定语，weight problem意为“体重问题”。故填weight。
【65题详解】
考查介词。句意：如果你不打算遭受这个问题，那么我建议你下次去你妈妈家吃饭时，向她学习一些烹饪技巧。此处是固定搭配：for dinner意为“吃晚饭”。故填for。

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。
When I was eleven years old, I had a big accident. I get scared even now when I think about that time. I went skating near my house. There were many people, and I saw some of them falling on the ice.
It was my first time to go ice skating, so I was nervous. I was wondering how to skate.
I went with a friend who was very skillful. He spent some time teaching me how to skate, but I didn't learn much. He left me and skated all around. As soon as he left, I fell down. I envied the other people because they could skate well.
I was bored because I kept falling so I took off my skates and just walked around on the ice in my shoes. It was cold and my hands were frozen.
Suddenly, I stepped on something that was not hard. What was it It was a weak place in the ice. When I stepped there, I sank under the ice. I thought that I was going to die, but I did my best to grab something to get out from under the ice. I tried to grab the edge of the ice, but it was very difficult for an eleven-year' old child.
It seemed like a very long time, like a year. Then, fortunately, someone helped me. He grabbed my arms and pulled me up. So, I lived and I'm still alive today.
I thanked him. At that time, my friend came back. I was annoyed at him because he was supposed to take care of me, but he didn't. He was embarrassed. When I took a taxi home, the taxi driver was surprised and asked what had happened. I didn't want to say anything because I was tired and scared. Even now, whenever I think about that time, I feel uncomfortable. I don't want to go skating again even now.
注意：

2）续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；

It was long before (过了很久) I went skating once again,
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
However, ever since then I haven't found any time to go skating,
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
It was long before I went skating once again, accompanied by one of my friends. This time I was careful and cautious, and my friend took special care of me. I was so fortunate this time that I managed not to fall down. Gradually I learned to skate well and became skillful. I felt very confident and no longer scared.
Paragraph 2:
However, ever since then I haven’t found any time to go skating, not because I do not like skating, but because I am too busy working. I’ve learned a lot from these two skating experiences. We all have moments of desperation. But if we can face them bravely, that’s when we find out how strong we really are. Whatever you do, you must have the patience to do it as well as the skill. Remember: never get too much pride because of victory or lose heart in case of failure.
