第二部分：阅读(共两节，满分50分)

A
We’re looking at the best Italian countryside escapes to help you find the ideal spot for your real Italian holiday.
Basilicata
Located in southern Italy, bordering Puglia, Basilicata holidays are all about wonderful hilltop towns waiting to be explored. Since this area is relatively unexplored, you’re in for untouched history at your fingertips. If you’re looking for a countryside escape off the beaten track, Basilicata offers an impressive mountain landscape.
Tuscany Countryside
Tuscany countryside holidays are a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We’ve all seen photos of the rolling hills, vineyards, and hilltop towns, but believe us when we say that nothing prepares you for experiencing the unique beauty of the Italian countryside in Tuscany firsthand.
Umbria Countryside
For a true Italian countryside, a visit to Umbria is in order. The historic hill towns date back to the Etruscan era, with many structures remaining untouched and authentic. Umbria holidays offer smaller towns that hold tradition close to their hearts and long winding roads in between, where the silence of the countryside is unmatched in any other part of Italy.
Piedmont Countryside
Situated on the border of Switzerland and France, Piedmont is about as picturesque as the Italian countryside gets. It is surrounded by three sides of the Alps, proud of some of the biggest glaciers and highest peaks in Italy. The attractively vast vineyards and rolling green hills, as well as the luxurious lakes of Orta and Maggiore, Piedmont countryside holidays offer Italian beauty at its finest.
1. Which place best suits people who enjoy the scenery of ice
A. Basilicata. B. Tuscany Countryside. C. Umbria Countryside. D. Piedmont Countryside.
2. In both Basilicata and Umbria Countryside visitors can see ________.
A. something untouched for exploration. B. large areas of vineyards.
C. rolling hills and hilltop towns. D. the photos of small towns.
3 Whom is the passage mainly intended for
A. Adventurers exploring the unknown. B. Customers wanting to enjoy grape wine.
C. Tourists searching for countryside holidays. D. Researchers digging for ancient architecture.
B
I was visiting my parents in 2003 when my mom came out of their room with a puzzled look on her face. She’d been listening to the radio and heard an interview with a best-selling author of young adult fantasy novels. The woman’s name was Tamora Pierce the same as a young student my mom had taught nearly four decades before.
The Internet should be able to tell us. I found the author’s website quickly. She was a popular writer of books. I clicked on the biography link to scan for references to Burlingame Junior High, where my mom had worked, and my heart began to excite when I spotted it at the bottom of the first section. Here was confirmation that my mother had taught a now-famous writer!
But my eyes came to a stop reading the next paragraph, in which Pierce described writing her first fiction as a sixth grader. “The next year, as I was still scribbling (乱写) my own stories, my English teacher, Mrs. Jacobson, introduced me to the Lord of the Rings trilogy by J. R. R. Tolkien,” the biography read. “I got hooked on fantasy, and then on science fiction, and both made their way into my stories.” My mother’s name was Mary Jacobson.
Within days, my dad had checked out all the Tamora Pierce books at the local library, and in one we found another surprise: a 1998 novel, which was dedicated (题献词) to “the teacher who shaped my life”. The teacher was Mary Jacobson. The dedication concluded, “A great teacher is above all other treasures.”
This story made me see my mom differently. We knew she was a teacher, but we had no idea what kind of teacher she had been. She was just 24 when she taught Pierce. Until 2011, when she passed away, we did know who she was.
4. Why did the mother wear a puzzled look in Paragraph 1
A. The interviewee was a best-selling writer. B. The interviewee may be her former student.
C. The author visited the parents unexpectedly. D. She was listening to the radio when the author arrived.
5. Searching for the information about Pierce, the author knew .
A. the pride the mother took in Pierce.
B. the mother’s preference for fantasy.
C. the mother’s influence on Pierce and her gratitude.
D the hardship Pierce had suffered to become a writer.
6. Which of the following can best describe Jacobson
A. Devoted and grateful. B. Caring and demanding.
C. Inspiring and respectable. D. Sympathetic and intelligent.
7. What’s the suitable title of the passage
A. An Ordinary Teacher Shaping A Famous Writer
B. A Woman Writer with Gratitude for Her Teacher
C. Pierce: From a Student Writer to a Fantasy Queen
D. To Honor My Mother: A Creator of Famous Writers
C
Sports movies are fun, but have you ever watched a sports movie that doesn’t even seem like it’s about sports Let me give you an option, “Remember The Titans”. A high school football team is forced to integrate, bringing together players from different racial backgrounds. Coach Herman Boone, played by Denzel Washington, takes charge and helps the team overcome their differences and work together. Amidst challenges and resistance, the players learn to respect and support each other. Through hard work and determination, they become a united team, overcoming prejudice and achieving success on the field.
At the beginning of the movie a white person murders a black person and there’s a riot (骚乱) going on. Debatable as it is, to be honest, we rarely get to see movies like Remember The Titans now. This is a movie that shows hard work and love can triumph over anything in life and we can feel the actual potential of the human spirit and courage.
What makes Remember The Titans an instant classic It is part heartwarming drama, part true story, part action, all of this is mixed with a banger soundtrack. This is the kind of film that actually transcends all genres, which is not very common today. When was the last time you came across such a movie that impressed you so deeply
Considering the actual script of the movie, it was an impossible task to actually release the movie. No one was willing to publish the movie. The movie’s writer Gregory Allen Howard was refused from every movie house because of the race issue highlighted in the movie. Through lots of struggles, the movie was adapted by Disney, even though it was toned down to make it more “Family-Friendly”.
I have seen a lot of movies till now, can’t even begin to count them but there are some movies that take your emotions on a roller coaster. They are more than movies actually, you become a part of them as they become a part of you. Remember the Titans is that kind of movie and I believe that every viewer can learn some life-changing things from it.
8. What do the viewers think of the start of the movie
A. It causes different opinions. B. It is a part of failure.
C. It is the most appealing part. D. It lays the foundation for success.
9. Which of the following statements about the movie is right
A. Denzel Washington is a persuasive coach. B. The purpose of it is to protest the violence.
C. The twisted plot is attractive to the viewers. D. It’s released effortlessly at the very beginning.
10. What does the underlined phrase “was toned down” in paragraph 4 mean
A. was tolerated unwillingly B. was accepted sincerely
C. was criticized aggressively D. was made less offensive
11. What may the following paragraphs tell us
A. The reasons for the movie’s popularity. B. The specific lessons the movie conveys.
C. The introduction to Denzel Washington. D. The main plot and characters of the movie.
D
Most people don’t know much about electric eels (鳗鱼), except that they produce electricity. Although not endangered, electric eels only live in one small region of the world and are hard to keep in captivity (圈养), so most people have never seen one.
The most important fact to know about electric eels is that they are not actually eels. Although it has a long body like an eel, the electric eel is actually a type of knifefish. Scientists have been confused about it for many years. The electric eel was first described by Linnaeus in 1766. At present, the electric eel is the only species in its family. It is only found in muddy, shallow waters surrounding the Amazon and Orinoco rivers in South America.
An electric eel living in water, needs to rise to the surface and breathe about once every ten minutes. In the wild, electric eels live about 15 years. In captivity by human being, they may live 22 years.
An electric eel has three organs in its belly that produce electricity. Together, the organs make up four-fifths of an eel’s body, allowing it to deliver low voltage or high voltage or use electricity for electrolocation. In other words, only 20 percent of an eel is devoted to its vital organs.
A shock from an electric eel is like the brief and sudden hit from an electric stick. Normally, the shock can’t kill a person. However, the eels can cause heart or respiratory failure from multiple shocks or in persons with underlying heart disease. More often, deaths from electric eels shocks occur when the sudden hit knocks a person in the water and they drown. Eel bodies are insulated, so they don’t normally shock themselves. However, if an eel is injured, the wound can make the eel vulnerable to electricity.
12. What can we learn about electric eels according to the passage
A. They are close to getting extinct. B. They are used to living in clear rivers.
C. They can breathe once every ten minutes. D. They can possibly be raised in captivity.
13. What made scientists feel confused about electric eels
A. The living area. B. The origin of the name.
C. The shape of their body. D. The reason for producing electricity.
14 What can we infer from the passage
A. High voltage can shock an electric eel itself to death.
B. Three organs in an electric eel’s belly produce electricity.
C. Three organs in the belly can produce different voltages separately.
D. Shocks from an electric eel may be a contributing cause of a person’s death.
15. Where may be the passage taken from
A. A website about biology. B. A paper about endangered species.
C. A science fiction about animals. D. An engineering course about electricity.

The bonds of female friendship run deep and strong, so are they the new encouraging relationship, or idealized ____16____
In many ways, my close friendships with women are what you’d expect from TV shows like The Golden Girls: emotionally close and involved, fierce and rude. What these shows get right about girl friendship is that our bonds run deep and strong. ____17____ In those shows, we can see friends whose lives are so deeply mixed that they appear at each other’s doors whenever needed; a ride-or-die girl group who are at your side for life.
____18____ This phenomenon is called friendship jealousy, and it’s pretty common. “We feel friendship envy because so much of our confidence is gained from us knowing who we ‘belong’ to,” psychologist Lilly Sabir said. If we don’t have access to the sisterhood we think we’re supposed to as women, we can feel rejected and lonely. ____19____
There’s no fixed way for these relationships. You might have a group of girls who meet for lunch once a week, or you might have a few friends who aren’t part of the same group. ____20____ Maybe you don’t see yourself in either of those situations, but love your friends all the same. All of this is fine—it’s the quality of your connections that counts.
Healthy friendships are about trust and being able to be vulnerable with each other, not to prove you’re living life the right way. There’s nothing quite like having friends who really understand you, so let’s enjoy our mates without overthinking it, shall we
A. Are we supposed to give way to each other
B. But they also tend to idealize these relationships.
C. So how should we enjoy our female friendships
D. The ways we show up for each other can truly be beautiful.
E. Tolerating friends’ characters is a good way to maintain the friendship.
F. Whatever they are, enjoying friendships and not overthinking them is key.
G. Ever seen a group of girl-friends smiling over lunch and had a feeling of envy

“Let’s welcome the new arrival!” said Mrs. White. When Kevin went straight to the blackboard, he overheard his new classmates’ comments. “Look at his shabby and wrinkled sneakers!” He felt his face flushed (脸红). “My name is Ke … vin!” The whole class burst out laughing except one boy in red.
At the thought of the sharp remarks, Kevin felt depressed. All the heartbroken memories crowding in, he was about to sob when he felt a gentle pat on his back. “Hey, my name is Mike,” he said and shook hands with Kevin. Kevin’s face lit up immediately. Soon the two boys became good friends. They found they had a lot in common — both of them liked soccer. From then on, they played soccer every afternoon after school. Unable to afford a ball, Mike made a ball out of old socks bound together with plastic tape.
The sun was shining and the ball was spinning across the grass as the two friends laughed and shouted with joy. Suddenly, the ball stopped when a new sneaker pinned it to the ground. It was Steven. “A stupid ball,” Steven said scornfully (轻蔑地).
The next morning, Kevin received an envelope from his uncle, in which there was a 100-dollar bill. He bought a pair of brand-new shoes and a new soccer ball. The next day, Steven invited Kevin to play soccer on the playground. When Kevin saw Mike sitting on the old bench waiting for him, he hugged his new soccer ball to the chest and ignored his friend. Mike sat there silently, tears rolling down his cheeks.

Holding the home-made ball, Kevin sat on the bench and waited.

If you’re looking for a countryside escape off the beaten track, Basilicata offers an impressive mountain landscape.
Tuscany Countryside
Tuscany countryside holidays are a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We’ve all seen photos of the rolling hills, vineyards, and hilltop towns, but believe us when we say that nothing prepares you for experiencing the unique beauty of the Italian countryside in Tuscany firsthand.
Umbria Countryside
For a true Italian countryside, a visit to Umbria is in order. The historic hill towns date back to the Etruscan era, with many structures remaining untouched and authentic. Umbria holidays offer smaller towns that hold tradition close to their hearts and long winding roads in between, where the silence of the countryside is unmatched in any other part of Italy.
Piedmont Countryside
Situated on the border of Switzerland and France, Piedmont is about as picturesque as the Italian countryside gets. It is surrounded by three sides of the Alps, proud of some of the biggest glaciers and highest peaks in Italy. The attractively vast vineyards and rolling green hills, as well as the luxurious lakes of Orta and Maggiore, Piedmont countryside holidays offer Italian beauty at its finest.

I was visiting my parents in 2003 when my mom came out of their room with a puzzled look on her face. She’d been listening to the radio and heard an interview with a best-selling author of young adult fantasy novels. The woman’s name was Tamora Pierce, the same as a young student my mom had taught nearly four decades before.
The Internet should be able to tell us. I found the author’s website quickly. She was a popular writer of books. I clicked on the biography link to scan for references to Burlingame Junior High, where my mom had worked, and my heart began to excite when I spotted it at the bottom of the first section. Here was confirmation that my mother had taught a now-famous writer!
But my eyes came to a stop reading the next paragraph, in which Pierce described writing her first fiction as a sixth grader. “The next year, as I was still scribbling (乱写) my own stories, my English teacher, Mrs. Jacobson, introduced me to the Lord of the Rings trilogy by J. R. R. Tolkien,” the biography read. “I got hooked on fantasy, and then on science fiction, and both made their way into my stories.” My mother’s name was Mary Jacobson.
Within days, my dad had checked out all the Tamora Pierce books at the local library, and in one we found another surprise: a 1998 novel, which was dedicated (题献词) to “the teacher who shaped my life”. The teacher was Mary Jacobson. The dedication concluded, “A great teacher is above all other treasures.”
This story made me see my mom differently. We knew she was a teacher, but we had no idea what kind of teacher she had been. She was just 24 when she taught Pierce. Until 2011, when she passed away, we did know who she was.
4. Why did the mother wear a puzzled look in Paragraph 1
A. The interviewee was a best-selling writer. B. The interviewee may be her former student.
C. The author visited the parents unexpectedly. D. She was listening to the radio when the author arrived.
5. Searching for the information about Pierce, the author knew .
A. the pride the mother took in Pierce.
B. the mother’s preference for fantasy.
C. the mother’s influence on Pierce and her gratitude.
D. the hardship Pierce had suffered to become a writer.
6. Which of the following can best describe Jacobson
A. Devoted and grateful. B. Caring and demanding.
C. Inspiring and respectable. D. Sympathetic and intelligent.
7. What’s the suitable title of the passage
A. An Ordinary Teacher Shaping A Famous Writer
B. A Woman Writer with Gratitude for Her Teacher
C. Pierce: From a Student Writer to a Fantasy Queen
D. To Honor My Mother: A Creator of Famous Writers
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. A

Sports movies are fun but have you ever watched a sports movie that doesn’t even seem like it’s about sports Let me give you an option, “Remember The Titans”. A high school football team is forced to integrate, bringing together players from different racial backgrounds. Coach Herman Boone, played by Denzel Washington, takes charge and helps the team overcome their differences and work together. Amidst challenges and resistance, the players learn to respect and support each other. Through hard work and determination, they become a united team, overcoming prejudice and achieving success on the field.
At the beginning of the movie, a white person murders a black person and there’s a riot (骚乱) going on. Debatable as it is, to be honest, we rarely get to see movies like Remember The Titans now. This is a movie that shows hard work and love can triumph over anything in life and we can feel the actual potential of the human spirit and courage.
What makes Remember The Titans an instant classic It is part heartwarming drama, part true story, part action, all of this is mixed with a banger soundtrack. This is the kind of film that actually transcends all genres, which is not very common today. When was the last time you came across such a movie that impressed you so deeply
Considering the actual script of the movie, it was an impossible task to actually release the movie. No one was willing to publish the movie. The movie’s writer Gregory Allen Howard was refused from every movie house because of the race issue highlighted in the movie. Through lots of struggles, the movie was adapted by Disney, even though it was toned down to make it more “Family-Friendly”.
I have seen a lot of movies till now, can’t even begin to count them but there are some movies that take your emotions on a roller coaster. They are more than movies actually, you become a part of them as they become a part of you. Remember the Titans is that kind of movie and I believe that every viewer can learn some life-changing things from it.

Most people don’t know much about electric eels (鳗鱼), except that they produce electricity. Although not endangered, electric eels only live in one small region of the world and are hard to keep in captivity (圈养), so most people have never seen one.
The most important fact to know about electric eels is that they are not actually eels. Although it has a long body like an eel, the electric eel is actually a type of knifefish. Scientists have been confused about it for many years. The electric eel was first described by Linnaeus in 1766. At present, the electric eel is the only species in its family. It is only found in muddy, shallow waters surrounding the Amazon and Orinoco rivers in South America.
An electric eel living in water, needs to rise to the surface and breathe about once every ten minutes. In the wild, electric eels live about 15 years. In captivity by human being, they may live 22 years.
An electric eel has three organs in its belly that produce electricity. Together, the organs make up four-fifths of an eel’s body, allowing it to deliver low voltage or high voltage or use electricity for electrolocation. In other words, only 20 percent of an eel is devoted to its vital organs.
A shock from an electric eel is like the brief and sudden hit from an electric stick. Normally, the shock can’t kill a person. However, the eels can cause heart or respiratory failure from multiple shocks or in persons with underlying heart disease. More often, deaths from electric eels shocks occur when the sudden hit knocks a person in the water and they drown. Eel bodies are insulated, so they don’t normally shock themselves. However, if an eel is injured, the wound can make the eel vulnerable to electricity.
12. What can we learn about electric eels according to the passage
A. They are close to getting extinct. B. They are used to living in clear rivers.
C. They can breathe once every ten minutes. D. They can possibly be raised in captivity.
13. What made scientists feel confused about electric eels
A. The living area. B. The origin of the name.
C. The shape of their body. D. The reason for producing electricity.
14. What can we infer from the passage
A. High voltage can shock an electric eel itself to death.
B. Three organs in an electric eel’s belly produce electricity.
C. Three organs in the belly can produce different voltages separately.
D. Shocks from an electric eel may be a contributing cause of a person’s death.
15. Where may be the passage taken from
A. A website about biology. B. A paper about endangered species.
C. A science fiction about animals. D. An engineering course about electricity.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. A

In many ways, my close friendships with women are what you’d expect from TV shows like The Golden Girls: emotionally close and involved, fierce and rude.

____18____ This phenomenon is called friendship jealousy, and it’s pretty common. “We feel friendship envy because so much of our confidence is gained from us knowing who we ‘belong’ to,” psychologist Lilly Sabir said. If we don’t have access to the sisterhood we think we’re supposed to as women, we can feel rejected and lonely. ____19____
There’s no fixed way for these relationships. You might have a group of girls who meet for lunch once a week, or you might have a few friends who aren’t part of the same group. ____20____ Maybe you don’t see yourself in either of those situations, but love your friends all the same. All of this is fine—it’s the quality of your connections that counts.

As William Somerset Maugham once said, “To acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge from almost all the miseries of life.”

57. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Let’s welcome the new arrival!” said Mrs. White. When Kevin went straight to the blackboard, he overheard his new classmates’ comments. “Look at his shabby and wrinkled sneakers!” He felt his face flushed (脸红). “My name is Ke … vin!” The whole class burst out laughing except one boy in red.
At the thought of the sharp remarks, Kevin felt depressed. All the heartbroken memories crowding in, he was about to sob when he felt a gentle pat on his back. “Hey, my name is Mike,” he said and shook hands with Kevin. Kevin’s face lit up immediately. Soon the two boys became good friends. They found they had a lot in common — both of them liked soccer. From then on, they played soccer every afternoon after school. Unable to afford a ball, Mike made a ball out of old socks bound together with plastic tape.
The sun was shining and the ball was spinning across the grass as the two friends laughed and shouted with joy. Suddenly, the ball stopped when a new sneaker pinned it to the ground. It was Steven. “A stupid ball,” Steven said scornfully (轻蔑地).
The next morning, Kevin received an envelope from his uncle, in which there was a 100-dollar bill. He bought a pair of brand-new shoes and a new soccer ball. The next day, Steven invited Kevin to play soccer on the playground. When Kevin saw Mike sitting on the old bench waiting for him, he hugged his new soccer ball to the chest and ignored his friend. Mike sat there silently, tears rolling down his cheeks.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para 1:
One day as Kevin walked past the old bench, he saw the home-made ball under it with a note. He picked up the note and read, “Kevin, remember the fun we had playing with this ball It doesn’t matter what kind of ball we use, as long as we enjoy playing together. Don’t let a new soccer ball or a pair of new shoes change our friendship. Let’s play soccer together again!” Kevin looked at the home-made ball and felt a pang of guilt. He realized that he had been too caught up in his own excitement and had forgotten about the true value of their friendship.
Para 2:
Holding the home-made ball, Kevin sat on the bench and waited. Soon, Mike appeared with a smile on his face. “Kevin, I’m sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable yesterday,” Mike said. Kevin looked at him and smiled. “It’s me who should apologize. I forgot about the true meaning of our friendship.” The two boys hugged each other and began to play with the home-made ball. Kevin realized that it didn’t matter what they had or didn’t have; it was the shared experiences and the bond of friendship that truly mattered.
