二、阅读理解（每小题2分，满分30分）
A
When I was a foreign teacher in China,every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China.One day the topic turned to saying“I love you”.I was shocked to learn that no one of my students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them.“Does your mom love you?”“Of course,”they answered.
“How do you know?”was my logical question.They answered that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring.I was surprised.“So mom’s cooking and criticizing read out as‘I love you’? Then how do you say‘I love you’to her?”They agreed that getting good grades,followed by good jobs would be how they showed their love.
I come from a country where most people are expressive enough,so I repeated these questions in classes over time. Gradually,I began to get different response.Some of them had exchanged those feelings with their moms.
One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl.When she came home from university,her mother met her at the door and hugged(拥抱)her.This had never happened before,but her mom said,“Now that you have gone,I have more time to myself.I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”
In my family we all say“I love you”a lot.While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth(深度)of feelings at that moment,it is almost like a blessing(祝福语)we give each other.Those three little words carry a world of meaning,even when said as a greeting,but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.
16.Chinese people prefer to show love by________.
A.buying gifts
B.hugging each other
C.saying“I love you”
D.doing something meaningful
17.In paragraph4,what’s the real meaning of the mom’s hugging?
A.She loves her daughter and misses her.
B.She is meeting her daughter at the door.
C.She finds it interesting to hug her daughter.
D.She is glad that she has more time to herself.
18.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.Say“I love you”more to your family.
B.Say“I love you”as a greeting to others.
C.Say“I love you”a lot to Chinese people.
D.Say“I love you”without great depth of feelings.
B
Happiness is important for everyone.Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness.Money and success don’t bring long-lasting happiness.Happiness depends on ourselves.In other words,we make our own happiness.
Some people believe that if they are wealthy,with the money they will be able to do anything they want,which means happiness.On the other hand,some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness.In this way, you have not only money,but also many other things which can’t be bought by money.However,other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness,nor is holding a high position in the government.These people value(重视)their beliefs,or their intelligence,or their health.They think these can make them happy.
Here are a few ways to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life.Too often,we spend so much time thinking about the future,for example,getting into college or getting a good job that we don’t enjoy the present.You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures,such as reading a good book,listening to your favorite music,or spending time with close friends.People who have close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives.
The second secret of happiness is to be active.Many people go dancing or play sports.People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.
Finally,many people find happiness in helping others.According to studies,people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people.If you want to feel happier,do something nice for someone.You can help a friend with his or her studies,go shopping to get food for an old neighbor,or simply help around the house.
Now maybe you know how to find happiness!
19.Some people who hold a high position in the government think they can________.
A.do what they want to do at any time
B.enjoy health which makes them work hard
C.take an active part in all kinds of activities every day

20.The writer thinks the secret of happiness is that people________.
A.think about getting money
B.think about getting a good job

A.how to have a bright future
B.how to find happiness
C.to do something good for others
D.to value our beliefs or health

Rome—Doctors and medical groups around the world last weekend reacted with strong opposition to the news that an Italian specialist is on the brink of cloning the first human baby.
Dr.Severino Antinori,who is the head of a hospital in Rome,has been referred to in an Arab newspaper as claiming that one of his patients is eight weeks pregnant(怀孕)with a cloned baby.
Antinori refused to comment on the reports,but in March2001he said he hoped to produce a cloned embryo(卵)for implantation within two years.So far seven different kinds of mammals have already successfully cloned,including sheep, cats and most recently rabbits.
Doctors showed their doubt and were strongly opposed although they admit that human cloning would finally come true unless there was a world wide ban on the practice.
Professor Rudolf Jaenisch of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology:“I find it astonishing that people do this where the result can be foretold that it will not be a normal baby.It is using humans as guinea pigs.It makes people feel sick.”
But Ronald Green,director of the Ethics Institute at Darmouth College in the US,said it is unlikely that an eight-week-old pregnancy would lead to a birth.
So far all cloned animals have suffered from some different serious disorders,many of them dying soon after their births.
Doctors are opposed to human cloning because they are worried about the welfare of the cloned child if there is one.
“There are no benefits of cloned human beings,just harm,”said Dr.Michael Wilks of the UK.
23.What is the doctors’general attitude to cloning of humans according to the passage?
A.They are against it.
B.They support it.
C.They welcome it.
D.They pay no attention to it.
24.What does the underlined word“ban”in the third paragraph mean most probably?
A.order that forbids cloning
B.suggestion to carrying on cloning
C.anger at cloning
D.cheer for cloning
25.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.Dcotor Severino Antinori is strongly opposed to cloning human beings.
B.Up to now,seven kinds of animals have been cloned,including sheep,cats humans and rabbits.
C.Professor Rudolf Jaenisch is carrying on an experiment on cloning an eight-week-old embryo.
D.Ronald Green doubts about the future successful birth of the so-called cloned embryo.
26.Which is the best title for the passage?
A.The Success of Cloning Humans
B.The Anger at Cloning Humans
C.Failure of Cloning Humans
D.First Cloned Human
D
While it is impossible to live completely free of stress,it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can’t be avoided.The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress.
Try physical activity
When you are nervous,angry or upset,try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity.Running, walking,playing tennis,or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try.Physical exercise will relieve your anxiety and worry and help you to relax.Your body and your mind will work together to ease the stress in your life.
Share your stress
It helps to talk to someone about your anxieties and worries.Perhaps a friend,family member,teacher or even your leader can help you a better view of what’s troubling you.If you feel your problem is serious,you might seek professional help from a psychologist or a doctor.Knowing when to ask for help is an important step in avoiding serious problems later. Take care of yourself
You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest.If you easily get angry and cannot sleep well enough,or if you’re not eating properly,it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations.If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping,you should consult a doctor.
Make time for yourself
Schedule time for both work and entertainment.Don’t forget,play can be just as important to you over-all well-being as work.You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun.Go window-shopping or work on a hobby Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.
Make a list of the things you need to do
Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that“there’s so much to do,and not enough time”.Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result,you may not achieve anything.Instead,make a list of everything you have to do,then do one thing at a time,checking off each task as it is completed.Set out to do the most important tasks first.
Go ahead and cry
A good cry can be a healthy way to bring relief to your anxiety.It might even help you avoid a headache or other
physical effect of anxiety and stress.
27.What is most probably the writer’s purpose in writing the article?
A.To release his or her wrong pressure.
B.To help solve the universal problem of stress.
C.To reduce his or her anxiety.
D.To have more people cry out.
28.Physical activity can help people release stress in that______.
A.only your body movement can help you relax
B.your mind can work better to free you of anxiety
C.your body and mind can cooperate in releasing stress
D.physics can always play an important part in reducing nervousness
29.What is similarity between“Share your stress”and“Go ahead and cry”?
A.They both help you let out your feelings
B.They both need physical movement.
C.They both require mental relaxation
D.They can help you live an orderly life.
30.The sentence“Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result,you may not achieve anything.”is close to the meaning of“______”.

B.More hurry,less speed.

此句为固定句型“the+比较级...，the+比较级...”，意思是“越……，就越……”。

这个结构用来表达两个事物之间的正比关系。

此句表达的意思是“你吃的水果越多，你就越健康”。

第一空需要使用more，more fruit表示“更多的水果”；第一空需要使用healthier作为healthy的比较级，表示“更健康的”。

分析句子结构可知，此处应为代词作宾语，结合句意可知，此处表示的是“我的心”应使用名词性物主代词，所以此处应为mine，相当于my heart。

故选D项。

10.Loud music always makes us______.
A.want dance
B.to want dance
C.want to dance
D.to want to dance
【答案】C
【详解】考查固定短语。

12.—Must I finish my homework?
—No,you needn’t.But you______finish it tomorrow.
A.can
B.must
C.may
D.will
【答案】B
【详解】考查情态动词。

句意：——我必须完成作业吗？——不，你不必。

但你必须明天完成。

在这个对话中，第一句问句“Must I finish my homework?”表达了一种询问是否必须完成作业的语气，回答“No,you needn’t.”说明完成作业不是强制性的。

但紧接着的“But you______finish it tomorrow.”转折后提出了一个条件，暗示虽然今天不必完成，但是明天有一个强制性要求去完成它。

在给出的选项中，must表示“必须”，符合这里设定明日任务为强制性的语境。

其他选项分析如下：A.can虽然表示能力或者许可，但没有表达出明天完成作业是必要性的意思。

C. may表示可能性或者许可，语气较弱，没有强制意味。

D.will表示将来时态，将会做某事，但不包含必须做的含义。

故选B。

13.—Where’s your father?
—He______Beijing.He won’t be back until next week.
A.went
B.has been to
C.has gone to
D.is going to
【答案】C
【详解】考查动词时态和主谓一致。

句意：——你爸爸呢他去北京了。

——他要到下星期才回来。

分析句子结构可知，此处为谓语动词，根据“He won’t be back until next week.”可知，父亲下星期才会回来，由此可知，父亲已经去了北京，且现在还没有回来，所以使用现在完成时，has been to表示“曾经去过某地，现在已经回来”，has gone to表示“已经去了某地，现在还没有回来”，结合语境可知，此处表示“已经去了北京，现在还没有回来”，且主语为第三人称单数，所以此处应为has gone to。

故选C项。

14.The Internet______widely in our daily life.You can do many things on it.
e
ed
C.is used
D.was used
【答案】C
【详解】考查一般现在时的被动语态。

句意：互联网在我们的日常生活中被广泛使用。

你可以在上面做很多事情。

此处描述客观事实，应用一般现在时。

动词use意为“使用”，和主语构成被动关系。

故选C。

15.—______will your father come back home?
—In three days.
A.How long
B.How many
C.How often
D.How soon
【详解】考查疑问词辨析。

句意：——你父亲多久会回家？——三天后。

A.How long多久，多长时间；B.How many 多少；C.How often多久一次；D.How soon多久以后。

How long常用于询问时间段或某物有多长，但在这个语境下，我们询问的是未来的时间点，而不是时间段，所以A选项不适用。

How many用于询问可数名词的数量，而这里询问的是时间，所以B选项不适用。

How often用于询问频率，但在这个语境下，我们询问的是具体的时间点，而不是频率，所以C选项不适用。

How soon常用于询问某个未来事件将会在多久之后发生或完成；结合句中“will your father come back home”以及“In three days”可知此句询问“多久以后会……”，填How soon。

故选D。

文章主要说明了作者在中国当外教时发现，中国父母和孩子不应该表达对彼此的爱，而是通过做一些有意义的事情，作者建议多和家人表达爱意。

推理判断题。

根据第二段“They answered that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring.I was surprised.“So mom’s cooking and criticizing read out as‘I love you’?Then how do you say‘I love you’to her?”They agreed that getting good grades,followed by good jobs would be how they showed their love.(他们回答说，他们的妈妈做饭，总是告诉他们做错了什么，以表示他们的关心。

我很惊讶。

“所以妈妈的烹饪和批评被解读为‘我爱你’？那你怎么对她说‘我爱你’呢？”他们一致认为，取得好成绩，然后找到好工作是他们表达爱的方式)”可推知，中国人喜欢通过做一些有意义的事情来表达爱。

故选D。

这种情况以前从未发生过，但她的妈妈说：“你走了以后，我有更多的时间属于自己。

我注意到有些地方妈妈和孩子会互相拥抱，于是我觉得这是个好主意，我也会开始拥抱你。

主旨大意题。

根据最后一段“In my family we all say“I love you”a lot.While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth(深度)of feelings at that moment,it is almost like a blessing(祝福语)we give each other.Those three little words carry a world of meaning,even when said as a greeting,but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.(在我家，我们都经常说“我爱你”。

虽然我们经常说的话在那一刻没有很深的感情是事实，这几乎就像我们给对方的祝福。

即使是作为问候，这三个小字也意味深长，尤其是当它们是我们对所爱的人说的最后一句话或听到的最后一句话时)”结合文章主要说明了作者在中国当外教时发现，中国父母和孩子不应该表达对彼此的爱，而是通过做一些有意义的事情，作者建议多和家人表达爱意。

可知，这篇文章的主旨是对家人多说“我爱你”。

故选A。

Happiness is important for everyone.Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness.Money and success don’t bring long-lasting happiness.Happiness depends on ourselves.In other words,we make our own happiness.
Some people believe that if they are wealthy,with the money they will be able to do anything they want,which means
happiness.On the other hand,some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness.In this way, you have not only money,but also many other things which can’t be bought by money.However,other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness,nor is holding a high position in the government.These people value(重视)their beliefs,or their intelligence,or their health.They think these can make them happy.

The second secret of happiness is to be active.Many people go dancing or play sports.People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.
Finally,many people find happiness in helping others.According to studies,people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people.If you want to feel happier,do something nice for someone.You can help a friend with his or her studies,go shopping to get food for an old neighbor,or simply help around the house.
