第二部分阅读(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Four Cool Languages
Chinese
Around 1.4 billion people speak Chinese. Chinese is a tonal (声调的) language, meaning that changing the tone of just one syllable (音节) can affect a word’s meaning. Chinese writing has ancient roots, which is thought to have developed starting around 2000 B. C.
Arabic
Over 370 million people speak Arabic. Written Arabic uses a cursive-style font (连笔) that looks more like artworks than writing. Arabic is written from right to left rather than left to right, making it different from many other languages.
English
Around 379 million people speak English as a native language. It’s an official language in a huge number of other countries.
English is the most widely spoken second language, with over a billion people speaking it as a non-native language. That means around twice as many people speak English as a second language than people who speak it as a first language.
Italian
Nearly 68 million people speak Italian. If you play music or sing, chances are that you already know a lot of Italian because many familiar musical terms are actually Italian.
Not only will learning Italian help you pick up vocabulary, but it will also help you understand the meanings of musical terms in greater depth.
21. What is a feature of Arabic
A. It doesn’t have cursive-style fonts. B. It helps artists with their artworks.
C. It is written from right to left. D. It is closely related to music.
22. Which language is the most widely used as a second language in the world
A. Arabic. B. English. C. Chinese. D. Italian.
23. What’s the number of people who speak Italian
A. Nearly 68 million. B. Around 370 million.
C. Over 379 million. D. Around 1.4 billion.
【答案】21. C 22. B 23. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文，文章介绍了四种很酷的语言。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据 Arabic 中“Arabic is written from right to left rather than left to right, making it different from many other languages.(阿拉伯语是从右到左而不是从左到右书写的，这使它与许多其他语言不同。)”可知，阿拉伯语从右往左写。故选C。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据 English 中“English is the most widely spoken second language, with over a billion people speaking it as a non-native language. That means around twice as many people speak English as a second language than people who speak it as a first language.(英语是使用最广泛的第二语言，有超过10亿人将其作为非母语。这意味着将英语作为第二语言的人数大约是将其作为第一语言的人数的两倍。)”可知，作为第二语言使用最广泛的是英语。故选B。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据 Italian 中“Nearly 68 million people speak Italian.(将近6800万人说意大利语。)”可知，近6800万人说意大利语。
B
One winter evening, Kelly was walking home from her favorite bookstore. She had bought two cookery books and three art books, and couldn’t wait to get home to read them in front of a warm fire.
“I read a lot, and love the pleasure of reading something that I want,” she said. But when she reached into her pocket, she realized that her wallet was gone. She looked around and started to retrace (折回) her steps.
“I’m down on my hands and knees, looking in the gutters (排水沟) around the streets. I go back and forth. My wallet is nowhere,” she said.
She went back to the bookstore, but nobody had turned it in. Kelly walked home hopelessly and was about to cancel her credit cards when an email appeared. It was from a man named Adam, who said he had found her wallet.
Through a name card, Adam found a way to contact Kelly and gave her his phone number and home address. Kelly had a taxi sent to Adam’s house and 20 minutes later, a small brown paper bag arrived on her front steps.
“The loveliest detail is that when I’m digging the wallet out of the bag, I suddenly find Adam has dropped a bar of chocolate at the bottom, which he can not have possibly known is my favorite,” Kelly said.
The kindness of Adam’s gesture has stayed with Kelly. She decides to look for chances to pass it on.

It happens in every disaster (灾难): For those in need, people often donate (捐赠) things that turn out to be more of a trouble.
Juanita Rilling remembers it happened in 1988 when she was a disaster expert trying to help people suffering from a hurricane (飓风) in Honduras. “One morning I received a call from one of our logistic operators (物流运营商), and he explained to me that there was a plane carrying medical supplies that needed to land,” says Rilling. “But the ground was full, with lots of donations that no one had required. The plane—full of needed supplies—had to find someplace else to go. And it ended up stopping everyone’s plans by about 48 hours, which is important time in a disaster.”
Rilling now runs the Center for International Disaster Information, which is trying to make sure things like that don’t happen again. So when Superstorm Sandy hit, Rilling’s group started a project to encourage money donation. “Even a small donation can make a big difference and can quickly become exactly what people affected by a disaster need most,” Rilling says. But despite this, donators do that over and over. About 60% of the things donated after a disaster couldn’t be used. Often it’s old clothing or food.
Meghan Hara, who deals with kind donations for the American Red Cross, says she knows that some people are careful with giving money. And she doesn’t think that the need to give something concrete (实物) should be completely stopped.
“Part of what people are doing is that they’re helping, and they’re trying to help. What we need to work out is how to effectively deal with that,” Hara says.
28. What caused needed supplies to be put off after the hurricane in 1988
A. Workers on the plane. B. A weather report.
C. Useless donations on the ground. D. The call from the operator.
29. What did Rilling’s group suggest donating when Superstorm Sandy hit
A. Clothing. B. Money. C. Medicine. D. Food.
30. What is Meghan Hara’s attitude towards donating concrete things
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Worried.
31. What might the author continue talking about
A. Studies on natural disasters.
B. The benefits of helping others.
C. Tips on choosing useful donations.
D. The ways of managing people’s donations.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章谈论了在救灾时，如何进行有效的捐赠。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“But the ground was full, with lots of donations that no one had required. The plane—full of needed supplies—had to find someplace else to go. And it ended up stopping everyone’s plans by about 48 hours, which is important time in a disaster. (但是场地是满的，有很多没有人需要的捐款。这架满载所需物资的飞机不得不找其他地方去。结果导致每个人的计划延迟了大约48小时，这在灾难中是非常重要的时间。)”可知，场地上的没用的捐赠物造成装载有应急物资的飞机无法降落，导致所需供应被推迟。故选C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“So when Superstorm Sandy hit, Rilling’s group started a project to encourage money donation. (因此，当飓风Sandy来袭时，Rilling的团队启动了一个鼓励捐款的项目。)”可知，当飓风来袭时，Rilling的团队建议人们捐赠钱。故选B项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“And she doesn’t think that the need to give something concrete(实物) should be completely stopped. (她认为需要给予具体的东西不应该完全停止。)”可知，Meghan Hara对人们捐赠实物是支持的。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“What we need to work out is how to effectively deal with that. (我们需要解决的是如何有效地处理这个问题。)”可知，作者可能继续讨论管理人们捐赠的方式。故选D项。

Ritz has been teaching for nearly 10 years in a high school where the early graduation rate of the students was just 17%. He discovered a way to connect and intrigue these students, especially the ones who seemed the hardest to reach.
Once, he received a package of flower bulbs (球茎) which he mistakenly thought were onions. He was afraid that they might become weapons (武器) in a classroom fight, so he hid them behind a radiator (暖气片) and forgot about them.
Six weeks later, an angry girl ran after a boy who always made troubles. As usual, Ritz rushed towards them to break up what he thought was about to become a disaster. He saw the boy reach towards the radiator and thought he might have hidden a weapon there. To his surprise, the boy suddenly pulled out a bunch of yellow flowers and gave them to the girl as a peace offering. The girl decided to take the flowers home to her mother and peace came back.
The forgotten bulbs were actually daffodils (黄水仙). The steam from the radiator had forced them into flowers. From such an experience, Ritz realized that if there was power in plants to stop a classroom fight, there must be power in plants to change students’ lives. He turned the moment of growing plants into a green course, a movement that would change his life and the lives of his students. He designed vegetable gardens into part of the school ground and on top of a building.
Ritz’s students now have near-perfect attendance and graduation rates. His efforts have led him to be a great teacher who uses the power of a plant to give a voice to children.
32. What does the underlined word “intrigue” mean in paragraph 1
A. Interest. B. Protect. C. Punish. D. Challenge.
33. What stopped the fight between the boy and the girl
A. The radiator. B. A tasty dish.
C. Some yellow flowers. D. The teacher’s words.
34 How are Ritz’s students affected by his green course
A. They have low attendance. B. They become the hardest to reach.
C. They know how to make weapons. D. They fall in love with learning.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. What a Classroom Needs for a Fight
B. Why a Plant Has an Effect on Students
C. How a Teacher Changes His Students
D. How a Teacher Becomes Popular
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了被Ritz遗忘的黄水仙花平息了学生间的冲突，由此Ritz想到了开设绿色种植课程，这门课提高了学生的学习兴趣，增加了其出勤率和毕业率。
【32题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词前“He discovered a way to connect...(他发现了一种关联和……这些学生)”可知，Ritz发现了一种方法可以把这些学生关联起来，结合画线词后 “...especially the ones who seemed the hardest to reach.(……尤其是那些看起来最难接触的学生。)”可知，他找到的方法应该是可以把这些学生关联起来，尤其是那些不易接触的学生，分析句子结构可知，划线单词与“关联”为并列关系，结合尾段中的“Ritz’s students now have near-perfect attendance and graduation rates. (Ritz的学生现在有近乎完美的出勤率和毕业率。)”可知，Ritz的学生出勤率和毕业率近乎完美，由此可推断，Ritz应该是找到了方法能够让学生喜欢上了学习，所以画线单词与“interest(使感兴趣)”的意思最为接近。故选A项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To his surprise, the boy suddenly pulled out a bunch of yellow flowers and gave them to the girl as a peace offering. The girl decided to take the flowers home to her mother and peace came back. (令他惊讶的是，男孩突然抽出一束黄色的花，送给女孩作为和平的礼物。女孩决定把花带回家给妈妈，平静又回来了。)”可知，男孩抽出一束花送给女孩作为和平的礼物，战争结束，由此可知，男孩和女孩之间的打闹是被Ritz遗忘的黄水仙花平息的。故选C项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Ritz’s students now have near-perfect attendance and graduation rates. His efforts have led him to be a great teacher who uses the power of a plant to give a voice to children. (Ritz的学生现在有近乎完美的出勤率和毕业率。他的努力使他成为一名伟大的老师，他利用植物的力量为孩子们发声。)”可知，Ritz开设的绿色种植课程使得他的学生出勤率和毕业率近乎完美，由此可知，他的绿色种植课程提高了学生的学习兴趣。故选D项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中的“He discovered a way to connect and intrigue these students, especially the ones who seemed the hardest to reach. (他发现了一种关联和吸引这些学生的方法，尤其是那些看起来最难接触的学生。)”可知，Ritz找到了一种可以关联和吸引学生的方法，结合下文中介绍的Ritz是如何发现的这种方法以及这种方法是什么，以及尾段“Ritz’s students now have near-perfect attendance and graduation rates. (Ritz的学生现在有近乎完美的出勤率和毕业率。)”可知，Ritz所发现的方法改变了学生，综合以上信息，本文主要讲述了被Ritz遗忘的黄水仙花平息了学生间的冲突，由此Ritz想到了开设绿色种植课程，这门课提高了学生的学习兴趣，增加了其出勤率和毕业率，所以题目“老师如何改变他的学生”与本文的内容一致，且可以概括全文的主题，可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选C项。

Four Cool Languages
Chinese
Around 1.4 billion people speak Chinese. Chinese is a tonal (声调的) language, meaning that changing the tone of just one syllable (音节) can affect a word’s meaning. Chinese writing has ancient roots, which is thought to have developed starting around 2000 B. C.
Arabic
Over 370 million people speak Arabic. Written Arabic uses a cursive-style font (连笔) that looks more like artworks than writing. Arabic is written from right to left rather than left to right, making it different from many other languages.
English
Around 379 million people speak English as a native language. It’s an official language in a huge number of other countries.
English is the most widely spoken second language with over a billion people speaking it as a non-native language. That means around twice as many people speak English as a second language than people who speak it as a first language.
Italian
Nearly 68 million people speak Italian. If you play music or sing, chances are that you already know a lot of Italian because many familiar musical terms are actually Italian.
Not only will learning Italian help you pick up vocabulary, but it will also help you understand the meanings of musical terms in greater depth.
21. What is a feature of Arabic
A. It doesn’t have cursive-style fonts. B. It helps artists with their artworks.
C. It is written from right to left. D. It is closely related to music.
22. Which language is the most widely used as a second language in the world
A. Arabic. B. English. C. Chinese. D. Italian.
23. What’s the number of people who speak Italian
A. Nearly 68 million. B. Around 370 million.
C. Over 379 million. D. Around 1.4 billion.

One winter evening, Kelly was walking home from her favorite bookstore. She had bought two cookery books and three art books, and couldn’t wait to get home to read them in front of a warm fire.
“I read a lot, and love the pleasure of reading something that I want,” she said. But when she reached into her pocket, she realized that her wallet was gone. She looked around and started to retrace (折回) her steps.
“I’m down on my hands and knees, looking in the gutters (排水沟) around the streets. I go back and forth. My wallet is nowhere,” she said.
She went back to the bookstore, but nobody had turned it in. Kelly walked home hopelessly and was about to cancel her credit cards when an email appeared. It was from a man named Adam, who said he had found her wallet.
Through a name card, Adam found a way to contact Kelly and gave her his phone number and home address. Kelly had a taxi sent to Adam’s house and 20 minutes later, a small brown paper bag arrived on her front steps.
“The loveliest detail is that when I’m digging the wallet out of the bag, I suddenly find Adam has dropped a bar of chocolate at the bottom, which he can not have possibly known is my favorite,” Kelly said.
The kindness of Adam’s gesture has stayed with Kelly. She decides to look for chances to pass it on.
24. How many art books did Kelly buy
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
25. Why did Kelly go back to the bookstore
A. To call Adam. B. To find her wallet.
C. To pay the money. D. To return her books.
26. How did Adam get the way to contact Kelly
A. By a piece of news. B. From one of his friends.
C. Through a name card. D. With the help of the police.
27. How did Kelly sound when she found a bar of chocolate in the bag
A. Surprised. B. Proud. C. Frightened. D. Sorry.

It happens in every disaster (灾难): For those in need, people often donate (捐赠) things that turn out to be more of a trouble.
Juanita Rilling remembers it happened in 1988 when she was a disaster expert trying to help people suffering from a hurricane (飓风) in Honduras. “One morning I received a call from one of our logistic operators (物流运营商), and he explained to me that there was a plane carrying medical supplies that needed to land,” says Rilling. “But the ground was full, with lots of donations that no one had required. The plane—full of needed supplies—had to find someplace else to go. And it ended up stopping everyone’s plans by about 48 hours, which is important time in a disaster.”
Rilling now runs the Center for International Disaster Information, which is trying to make sure things like that don’t happen again. So when Superstorm Sandy hit, Rilling’s group started a project to encourage money donation. “Even a small donation can make a big difference and can quickly become exactly what people affected by a disaster need most,” Rilling says. But despite this, donators do that over and over. About 60% of the things donated after a disaster couldn’t be used. Often it’s old clothing or food.
Meghan Hara, who deals with kind donations for the American Red Cross, says she knows that some people are careful with giving money. And she doesn’t think that the need to give something concrete (实物) should be completely stopped.
“Part of what people are doing is that they’re helping, and they’re trying to help. What we need to work out is how to effectively deal with that,” Hara says.

Ritz has been teaching for nearly 10 years in a high school where the early graduation rate of the students was just 17%. He discovered a way to connect and intrigue these students, especially the ones who seemed the hardest to reach.
Once, he received a package of flower bulbs (球茎) which he mistakenly thought were onions. He was afraid that they might become weapons (武器) in a classroom fight, so he hid them behind a radiator (暖气片) and forgot about them.
Six weeks later, an angry girl ran after a boy who always made troubles. As usual, Ritz rushed towards them to break up what he thought was about to become a disaster. He saw the boy reach towards the radiator and thought he might have hidden a weapon there. To his surprise, the boy suddenly pulled out a bunch of yellow flowers and gave them to the girl as a peace offering. The girl decided to take the flowers home to her mother and peace came back.
The forgotten bulbs were actually daffodils (黄水仙). The steam from the radiator had forced them into flowers. From such an experience, Ritz realized that if there was power in plants to stop a classroom fight, there must be power in plants to change students’ lives. He turned the moment of growing plants into a green course, a movement that would change his life and the lives of his students. He designed vegetable gardens into part of the school ground and on top of a building.
Ritz’s students now have near-perfect attendance and graduation rates. His efforts have led him to be a great teacher who uses the power of a plant to give a voice to children.
32. What does the underlined word “intrigue” mean in paragraph 1
A. Interest. B. Protect. C. Punish. D. Challenge.
33. What stopped the fight between the boy and the girl
A. The radiator. B. A tasty dish.
C. Some yellow flowers. D. The teacher’s words.
34. How are Ritz’s students affected by his green course
A. They have low attendance. B. They become the hardest to reach.
C They know how to make weapons. D. They fall in love with learning.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. What a Classroom Needs for a Fight
B. Why a Plant Has an Effect on Students
C. How a Teacher Changes His Students
D. How a Teacher Becomes Popular

When my daughter. Rachel was 6 years old, we went to the local shelter, looking for a perfect cat. We liked all the cats we saw there, but we especially loved one that was black with a small white tip to her tail, like a bright star in the night sky. We brought her home and called her Starry.
Starry was lovely. At night when we watched TV, she would come into Rachel’s lap and comfortably stay there. Starry always got her face close to Rachel’s, ending her love with a gentle touch on Rachel’s nose. Sometimes I felt so jealous (忌妒的) of their love. Although I was the one who tank care of the cat, feeding and cleaning it, Starry was clearly Rachel’s cat. Finally, I came to love watching their close relationship
My little girl grew up and went to senior high school. Starry and Rachel were still close, though Rachel spent less and less time at home. starry spent most of her day sitting on the sideboard in the dining room, looking out of the window into the backyard. I loved seeing her as I passed by her, for her shiny black coat almost sparkled (闪烁) in the sunlight and the white tip of her tail looked bright against the shining black of her body.
One Sunday morning, early in November, Starry got out of, the room before we could stop her. When Rachel came home from school, she went into the room with a worried expression. “Where’s Starry ” she asked. When we told her we didn’t know, she led us outside with her. There was a black cat lying on the street.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
