四、阅读理解(本题共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
第一节阅读理解
阅读下面四篇文章，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
It's never too early for you to develop your child's interests. Now, read the following and see what
you can do.
Discover As a parent, you should play an active role in developing your children's interests. Take
them to museums, art galleries, zoos and even to theaters when they are young. Take them to take part in as
many activities as possible.
4
Show them what you' re interested in. This can help them to discover if they are interested in
those things, too. Have they sit with you while you watch a sporting event, or have they help you cook
dinner. If possible, take them to work with you and show them what you do. They might want to follow in
your footsteps!
▲ Perhaps the most important thing you can do is encourage your children. Pay attention
to what they like to do or try. Encourage them to write down goals. Then, go over the list with them and
help them achieve these goals. For older kids, encourage them to find a summer job that interests them.
Also, encourage them to volunteer to do something.
Dream Let your kids dream. Maybe they have a love of acting and see themselves as movie
stars. Although this might be unlikely, always be on their side. It's true that one's dream changes. It doesn't
matter. Finding out what they don't want to do is as important as finding out what they want to do.
But no matter what their life goals are and how many times those goals change, always encourage
them to do well in school and make time for their interests.
46. The phrase"follow in your footsteps" probably means" ".
A. be different from others B. stay with you all the time
C. do the same job as you do D. do everything on their own
47. Which of the following can be put in ▲
A. Listen B. Punish C. Praise D. Encourage
48. Which of the following is TRUE
A. It's necessary for parents to develop their kids' interests.
B. Kids shouldn't be allowed to attend different activities.
C. Parents should not take little kids to zoos.
D. It's useless for parents to find out what kids want to do.
B
Like detective s, archaeologists use evidence to solve mysteries. Detectives look
for clues to solve crimes. Archaeologists look for clues to help them understand how
people lived long ago. In fact, the word"archaeology" means"the study of ancient
things". One type of evidence used to learn about the past is pottery.
People have used pottery for thousands of years all over the world. Old pottery
is usually found in pieces. Called"potsherds". Sometimes potsherds found in the same place can be put back
together to recreate the original pot. Even in pieces, old pottery can teach us about the past. When examining
pottery, archaeologists think about not only its appearance but what it was made of and how it was made;
With this knowledge, they can get information about people's lives in ancient times. ①
Pottery is made by first adding water to a kind of soil called clay. When wet clay can be formed into
shapes, it is then heated. This hardens(使变硬) the clay and allows it to keep its shape. To make clay easier
to shape and heat, potters use something called" temper". Different materials can be used as temper. An
archaeologist can tell where a pot came from by the types of clay and temper that were used. Sometimes a
pot found in one location might have materials from another place.②
Some of the earliest pots were made quite-simply. A piece of clay was hollowed(掏空) out and shaped
into a bowl. It was then heated at a low temperature. The finished pot was rough(粗糙的), and often
undecorated. This type of pot might be used for cooking.③
Later, coiled pots were made. These were made by first rolling the clay into a long snake shape. The
coil was then wound(绕) in circles to form a pot. They were often decorated in different ways. These pots
5
were heated at high temperatures. The higher the temperature, the harder and longer-lasting the pot. Further
improvements in pottery-making developed in different times and places,④
A pot's shape and decoration can provide clues about the past. Painted pictures might show events
from daily life or from ancient stories. Archaeologists know certain shapes and styles that were common in
different times and places.
Archaeologists study the differences in types of pottery closely. Because of their work, these daily
objects can tell some of the mysteries of the past.
49. Why are detective s and archaeologists mentioned in Paragraph 1
A. To compare the pottery with evidence. B. To lead to the topic of the passage.
C. To catch readers' attention to archaeology. D. To show the long history of pottery.
50. We can put"This can provide clues about how people traded or travelled." in Blank .
A.① B.② C.③ D.④
51. When is temper added to the clay
A. While the pot is being decorated. B. After the pot is heated.
C. Before the clay is shaped. D. When the clay is hollowed.
52. What is the main idea of this passage
A. People have used pottery for thousands of years all-over the world.
B. Ancient pottery can tell about the lives of the people who made and used it.
C. Pots are decorated with pictures that show events from ancient stories.
D. Archaeologists look for clues to solve mysteries in different times and places.

A Pathway(路径) to Meaning in Life
When it comes to a meaningful life, we might think of love, happiness and health. A life filled with
meaning is what most of us want for ourselves. Then, what makes a meaningful life
Many researchers agree that a meaningful life comes down to three factors: having long-term goals,
believing that one's life matters, and feeling that one's life fits together and" makes sense".
But we believe there is more to take into account. Sometimes life enables us to experience small
moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating (欣赏) such experiences, these moments may
improve how they see their own life. We call this experiential appreciation(EA). EA is about the person
feeling connected to events and being able to appreciate the value within the connection. It shows the
discovery of and admiration for life's beauty.
We recently set out to better understand EA in studies. We were interested in whether EA was also tied
to general judgment of meaning in life. If so, it could be a factor for meaningfulness.
In the first study, we had people rate(评估) their support for different methods of reducing stress. We
found that people who managed stress by focusing on their appreciation for life's beautiful so reported
experiencing life as highly meaningful.
In the next study, we asked people to rate the degree to which they agreed with various statements, such
as"I appreciate the beauty of life" and" I appreciate little things in life, " as well as other statements that
related to the three factors and a general sense of meaning in life. Our results showed that the more people
reported that they were" appreciating life" and its many experiences, the more they felt their life was valuable.
In the following studies, we further looked at the connection between EA and meaningfulness. For
example, we found that people who were asked to look back on the most meaningful event of the past week
generally reported high EA in those moments.
All the results proved our theory(假设) true. But putting it into practice can be difficult. Our fast-paced
lifestyles fill the day with goals. We try to get the highest output both at work and in spare time. This focus
on future outcomes makes it all too easy to miss what is happening right now. We should slow down and let
life surprise us.

53. You could be in the EA condition when .
A. you practiced hard to become the best violinist
B. you stopped to admire the roses by the roadside
C. you hurried to serve the customers in the store
D. you made a travel plan for the coming holiday
54. What can we learn from the studies mentioned in the passage
A. Thinking back to the past weakens our sense of meaning.
B. Good judgment on beauty improves connections among people.
C. Enjoying small things can influence our attitude toward life.
D. Proper stress management is the key to living a satisfying life.
55. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us
A. We often turn a blind eye to the present moment.
B. A fast-paced lifestyle helps us reach our goals.
C. Future life will bring us many more surprises.
D. It is easier for results-driven people to achieve success.
56. What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage
A. To compare different factors for meaningfulness.
B. To introduce a new factor for a meaningful life.
C. To discuss what the true meaning of life is.
D. To explain how to discover beauty in life.
D
On the first day of school, our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone
we didn't know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around and
found a wrinkled, little old lady with a smile. She said, "Hi, Mr Handsome! My name is Rose. I'm eighty-
seven years old. Can I give you a hug "
I laughed and warmly responded, "Of course you can!" She gave me a giant squeeze."Why are you in
college at such a young, innocent age " I asked.
She jokingly replied, "Tm here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then
retire and travel."
"No, seriously " I asked. I was curious about what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge
at her age.
"I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me.
After class we walked to the Student Union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became
instant friends. Every day of the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was
always attracted to this"time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went.
She loved to dress up and enjoyed the attention from other students. She was living it up.
At the end of the term, we invited Rose to speak at a student gathering. I' ll never forget what she taught
us. "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four
secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humour every day.
You' ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. There are so many people walking around
who are dead, and they don't even know it," she said.
"There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't
take any talent or ability," she added. "But growing up requires finding opportunities in change. Have no
regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what they did, but rather for things they did not do."
She concluded her speech by courageously singing"The Rose". She challenged each of us to study the
lyrics and live them out in our daily life.
7
At the year's end, Rose finished the college degree. We'd always keep her in mind because it is the
wonderful woman who taught us by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.
57. Why did Rose go to college according to the passage
A. To find out the secret to living longer. B. To make her college dream come true.
C. To get married to a wealthy husband. D. To share her wisdom and experience.
58. The underlined phrase"living it up" probably means" "
A. losing herself B. working hard C. growing older D. enjoying life
59. Which shows the CORRECT order of the following events
a. Rose graduated from college. b. Rose gave an encouraging speech.
c. Rose and the writer became friends. d. Rose introduced herself to the writer.
A. a-d-b-c B. d-c-a-b C. d-c-b-a D. d-b-c-a
60. What lesson can we learn from Rose's story
A. Being generous can gain respect from people.
B. Doing what we dream of leads to no regrets in the future.
C. Growing up is easy while growing older needs efforts.
D. Never to stop studying makes people stay young forever.

He was a journalist(记者) and a political critic (评论家). But to most people, he is(86)c
as the most important martial arts novelist in the Chinese-speaking world.
During his(87)l , Louis Cha Leung-yung, better known by his pen name Jin Yong, wrote 15
martial arts novels. Over 300 million(88)c of his books have been sold around the world. He
also created some of the most famous characters in the history of Chinese literature,(89)i Guo

people to read, but also helped to(91)s Chinese people's spirit and values in recent years.

xia, something of bravery, justice(正义) and self-sacrifice(自我牺牲)." These values have been passed on
to generations of Chinese(92)t his books as well as the countless movies and TV series that have

Face-to-face with a mother who doesn't immediately praise every gift, my children have learned to be
very careful in choosing gifts. But a couple of weeks ago, they came together to give me a gift that really
blew me away.
For years now, I' ve been wanting to sell our house where my children grew up. But there are the funny
little love hearts they drew just near their beds. The attic(阁楼) is full of the old clothes they couldn't wear.
The high shelves still have lots of novels for children, like The Night Before Christmas and The Muddle-
Headed Wombat.
But those are not the reasons for being sad about leaving this house. There is much more to tie me to
the home where I brought up our kids. In the front room, there is a wall. On that wall are hundreds of pencil
marks, names and dates. They recorded the way the children grew.
Of all the objects, all the memories, it's this one place in our home that makes it hard for me to leave.
Over dinner, over the years,I' ve talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall, even though the last
marks were made ten years ago when my kids stopped growing. So one day, while I was at work, my children
decided to do something about the wall. Here was a chance to remove the last traces(痕迹) of their babyhood,
but they didn't do that. Instead, they hired Jack, a professional photographer, to come to our house to take
photos of the pencil marks, names and dates and then changed them into one photo.
At last the gift made its way to me, one meaningful photo. Representing love and growth, it's a gift that
I will cherish forever.
