第二部分阅读理解（满分40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。

21．（6分）I was at my parent’s dinner table. Before me was a worn journal of thin
and discolored pages. It was my grandfather’s journal and now belonged to my father. My grandfather had passed away in the months leading up to my birth. I never got to visit the places he had frequented and the people who ha d been a part of his life’s journey.
I was now about to enter his world, through the words he had left behind. Within minutes, I was captivated by the power of the written words. In the magical script (笔迹) before me, I was transported to another age when food was an everyday art, planned, prepared and enjoyed in the company of others，and a time when people had the heart to pause their own lives to embrace (拥抱) each other’s struggles. All this was conveyed to me in the beauty of the words that flowed together to connect with the writer’s mind and understand the world they lived in.
That kind of writing seems to be lost on us today. We have gotten used lo writing in bite-sized pieces for a public looking for entertainment, and hungry for information. No wonder, there are nearly 200 million bloggers on the Internet and a new blog is created somewhere in the world every half a second. Instead of adding to our collective wisdom, most of these writings reflect the superficiality (肤浅) and impatience of our day and age.
This not only robs us of the skill of writing impressive essays, it also prevents us from exploring what is indeed important. Writing humbles(使谦卑) us in a way that is vital for our character growth, by reminding us about the limits of the self and our appropriate place in the vast flow of life. Writing frees us by helping us explore the unknown so that we really open up to magic of the world around us. I saw all of this in the writing of my grandfather. And I’ve seen it again and again in the writings of the greatest thinkers of humanity. Their writing reflect deep thought on issues of human importance.
1、The underlined word “captivated” in t he second paragraph can be replaced by
“________”.
A．puzzled B．frightened
C．attracted D．defeated
2、In the author’s grandfather’s age, people ________.
A．lived a hard life B．cared about each other
C．were fond of writing D．treated food as an art
3、The author begins the text with her grandfather’s journal in order to ________. A．show her respect to her grandfather
B．present the importance of good writing
C．express her interest in reading as well as writing
D．raise the problems with today’s writing
4、In the last paragraph, the author is trying to _________.
A．discuss what good writing is like
B．express her strong desire to learn writing skills
C．stress the effects of her grandfather’s journal on her
D．show her admiration for her grandfather’s writing

23．（8分）It’s a real case of fish out of water. Blennies (鲇鱼) in the South Pacific Ocean are gradually relocating to land to escape their predators (捕食者), in an example of evolution in action.
Fish first began crawling onto dry land about 400 million years ago, kicking off an evolutionary chain of events that led to humans. But their reasons for exiting the sea have been uncertain.
To look for clues, Terry Ord at the University of New South Wales in Australia has been studying several species of blennies at Rarotonga, the largest of the Cook Islands.
At low tide, blennies are commonly found swimming in rock pools around the edges of the island. But when high tide moves in, they climb up to dry land and move around the rocks until the tide retreats.
The researchers found that this is most likely to avoid predators that swim in with the rising tide – mainly bigger fish like lionfish.
To test what would happen if blennies did not have an escape plan, they made blenny models and sank them in the sea. The mimics ended up with wounds, bite marks
and chunks-missing.
Of course, there are still dangers for blennies on land, like the occasional bird attack, but the predation risk on land is a third that of underwater.
What’s more, moving onto land has additional benefits for blennies. Holes in the rocks provide sheltered nests for laying eggs, and they can maintain their diet of bacteria.
In fact, several species of blenny fish at Rarotonga have already made the full transition to land-dwelling (陆生的) species. They continue to breathe with their gills, but have developed stronger tail fins and jump from rock to rock.
Ord believes that many evolutionary processes have been driven by the need to escape predators. “It is often assumed that animals move homes to find new sources of food, but in many cases, escaping predators is a stronger motivation.” he says.
1、Why do blennies climb to dry land when high tide comes?
A．To acquire better health. B．To search for more food.
C．To seek safer living conditions. D．To adapt to a new environment.
2、What does the underlined part “The mimics” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A．The rocks in the water. B．The predators of blennies.
C．The researchers of blennies. D．The models of blennies.
3、What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A．Ord’s research opens a new view.
B．Ord wonders why animals move homes.
C．Ord shows us the benefits of blennies’ evolution.
D．Ord has discovered how fish have become land dwellers.
4、Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A．Blennies’ Living Habits
B．Why Blennies Choose to Live on Land
C．Blennies’ Evolutionary Process
D．How Blennies Escape from their Predators
24．（8分）The Peanuts Movie, which hits theaters today, brings to life one of the most popular comic strips(连环漫画) ever to appear in print. For decades, kids have found humor and comfort in Charlie Brown and his pet dog, Snoopy. The characters came from the pen of Charles M. Schulz, whose comic strip, Peanuts, first appeared in
newspapers in 1950.
Schulz, who died in 2000, was one of the most influential cartoonists in history. His son, Craig Schulz, has reinvented the Peanuts characters for a new generation of kids who may only be familiar with the holiday specials on TV. Craig co-wrote the screenplay for The peanuts Movie with his own son, Bryan.
Director Steve Martino created the computer-animated 3D characters for the movie. Even though he used new technology, he wanted to stay true to Charles Schulz’s original drawings. “I love to draw, I love to tell stories, and I got to do it in a big movie like this,” Martino said. “My hope was to bring these characters to life in a bigger way than we’ve ever seen, but be truthful to who the y’ve always been.”
11-year-old Noah Schnapp voices the character of Charlie Brown. “It was a bit difficult at the beginning,” Noah said. “But once I got into it, I had so much fun.” Alex Garfin, 12, is the voice of Linus, Charlie’s friend. Alex has words o f wisdom not just for Charlie, but also for kids who want to work on the entertainment industry. “If you don’t succeed, try again,” he said. “You may not succeed 99 percent of the time, but that 1 percent probability will bring you something.” Francesca Ca paldi, 11, who voices the Little Red-Haired Girl, agrees.
“Dream big,” she said. “If you really want something, just go for it.”
1、What can we know about The Peanuts Movie?
A．It is more popular than the comic strip Peanuts
B．it was changed into TV specials by Craig Schulzz.
C．It has more characters than the comic strip Peanuts
D．Charles Schulz’s son and grandson wrote the screenplay.
2、Steve Martino thinks it is important to _________.
A．bring the main characters to life.
B．make the movie fit for today’s kids.
C．develop the movie using new technology.
D．keep the characters what they’ve been like
3、How many characters of the movie are mentioned in the text?
A．3
B．4
C．5
D．6
4、What can be the best title for the text?
A．A computer-animated movie brings Peanuts to life
B．The Peanuts Movie helps you realize your dream.
C．Charles Schulz and his comic strip Peanuts.
D．The Schulzs give you humor and comfort.

29、Dear Kate,
I’m glad to have received the letter you sent me last week. I have been thinking about the question you asked me. From my point of view, you can choose to come to
China after finishing your studies.
For one re ason, China’s development over the past 30 years offers quantities of job opportunities for the young. What’s more, what you are studying is badly needed in China nowadays. In fact, many big companies in our city are hoping to hire people like you.
For another reason, China is a country with such different cultures and traditions from the West that many foreigners enjoy living and working here. Why not come and john them? I’m sure you’ll adapt to the environment quickly. If you come, I will do what I can to help you. So what are you waiting for?
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua。
