第二局部：阅读理解〔一共两节，满分是40分〕
第一节选择题〔一共15小题，每一小题2分，一共30分〕
阅读以下短文，从每一小题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,，选出最正确答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
One day, I received a call from a colleague. He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physical problem, while the student claimed a perfect score.
I was elected as their arbiter( 仲裁人).I read the examination problem: “Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer(气压计).〞The student had answered: “Take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to the street, and then bring it
up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of it is the height of the building. 〞
The student had really answered the question completely, but the answer didn’t confirm his competence in physics. I suggested the student try again. I gave him six minutes to answer the question, warning that the answer should show some knowledge of physics. Five minutes later, he said he had many answers and dashed off one, which read: “Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the edge of the roof. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then, use the physical formula (公式〕to calculate the height of the building. 〞
At this point, my colleague had to accept it, and then the student made almost full marks. I couldn’t help asking the student what the other answers were. He listed many others, and then added “Probably the best is to take the barometer to the administrator and said to him, ' Sir, here is a fine barometer. If you tell me the height of the building, I will give it to you.’〞 Then, I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this question. He admitted that he did, but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think. The name of the student was Bohr who later was famous all over the world. He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922.
21.The student got a zero at the beginning because_______.
A. the teacher wasn’t satisfied with him
B. his answer wasn't complete or correct
C. the teacher didn’t fully understan d his answer
D. his answer didn’t show his knowledge of physics
22.We know from the passage that______
A. the student knew the expected answer
B. the administrator told Bohr the height
C. the author preferred Bohr’s last answer
D. the teacher was a very stubborn person
23.We can learn from the passage that______.
A. instructors can teach students how to think
B. arbiters can help students to get high scores
C. students should be given more freedom in thinking
D. teachers should make students use physical formulas
24. What was Bohr’s attitude toward his schooling?
A. Optimistic.
B. Critical.
C. Approving.
D. Positive.
B
Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.
What to Expect
The host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.
Accommodation Zones
Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential. Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by underground.
Meal Plans Available
♢ Continental Breakfast
♢ Breakfast and Dinner
♢ Breakfast, Packed Lunch and Dinner
I t’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal(谷物类食品), bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee.
Friends
If you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host’s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.
Self-Catering Accommodation in Private Homes
Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practice English at home quite as much.
25. The passage is probably written for ______.
A. hosts willing to receive foreign students
B. foreigners hoping to know British culture
C. travelers planning to visit families in London
D. English learners applying to live in English homes
26. Which of the following will the host provide?
A. Room cleaning.
B. Medical care.
C. Free transport.
D. Physical training.
27. According to the passage, what does Continental Breakfast include?
A. Dessert and coffee.
B. Fruit and vegetables.
C. Bread and fruit juice.
D. Cereal and cold meat.
28. Why do some people choose self-catering accommodation?
A. To experience a warmer family atmosphere.
B. To enrich their knowledge of English.
C. To entertain friends as they like.
D. To enjoy much more freedom.
C
Are you an optimist? Do you look at your glass and
see it as half full? Do you believe that every cloud has
a silver lining and that things generally turn out for the best? Do you believe that if somethi ng is meant to be, it will be? If you reply “yes〞
to all of
these questions, then you are an optimist. You probably are enthusiastic, cheerful and outgoing. You may be successful at work and in love.
But you may be misguided because things don’t turn out for the best. You may believe that when one door closes another one opens (for example, you may fail to obtain a new job; another chance will come around soon). Wrong. When one door closes, another door slams (砰然关上) in your face. That’s bitter reality.
Now a book has been published which confirms what pessimists (悲观者) have suspected all along. It’s called The Positive Power of Defensive Pessimism. Its author argues that defensive pessimism can lead to positive results. Defensive pessimism is a strategy used to manage fear, anxiety and worry. Defensive pessimists prepare for the things by setting low outcomes for themselves. They carefully consider everything that may go wrong and plan for ways to handle these problems.
And this gives them a sense of control. Lawrence Sanno, a psychology professor, says, “What’s interesting about defensive pessimists is that they tend to be very successful people, so their low opinion of the situation’s outcomes is not realistic. They use it to motivate themselves to perform better.〞
So far, so good. This is not rocket science. Defensive pessimists prepare carefully and consider what might go wrong, whether at work, on date or even in a sports game. It makes sense to have a back-up plan. There are many sayings in English urging caution. For example, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.〞And “Don’t count your chickens until they hatch.〞 To have a confident and optimistic approach to life’s problems is good. But listen to what Woody Alien, the American comedian says, “Confidenc e is what you have before you understand the problem.〞There are pros and cons〔利与弊〕to being an optimist and a pessimist. Don’t feel bad if you see the glass half empty. You are a realist. But lighten up and hook up with someone who sees the same glass half full.
29. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. The benefits of defensive pessimism.
B. A book that has recently been published.
C. The dangers of being too optimistic.
D. How to become successful in life.
30. The underlined sentence “This is not rocket science〞(Para. 4) means __________.
A. there is no real proof
B. it is quite simple to understand
C. the cost is not so high
D. it’s a dangerous thing to do
31. Which of the following English expressions would a defensive pessimist believe?
A. Whatever will be, will be.
B. The glass is half full not half empty.
C. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
D. Every cloud has a silver lining.
32. We can infer from the passage that the writer is probably __________.
A. a realist
B. an optimist
C. an author
D. a scientist
D
Why Laughter Matters
Although most people believe that laughter is one of the nature’s great treatments for a whole range of mental and physical diseases, it is still a serious scientific subject that researchers are trying to figure out.
“Laughter above all else is a social thing,〞 says Baltimore neuroscientist, Robert Provine, who has studied laughter for decades. “All laughter groups laugh ‘ha-ha-ha’ basically the same way. Whether you speak Mandarin, French or English, everyone will understand laughter. There is a pattern generator(发生器) in our brain that produces this sound.〞
Laughing is our first way of communicating. Babies laugh long before they speak. No one teaches them how to laugh. They just do. People may laugh at a prank(恶作剧) on April Fools’ day. But surprisingly, only 10 to 15 percent of laughter is the result of someone making a joke. Laughter is mostly about social responses rather
to a joke. Deaf people laugh without hearing and people on cell phones laugh without seeing, showing that laughter isn’t dependent on single sense but on social interactions.
And laughter is not just a people thing. Chimps(黑猩猩) tickle(挠痒) each other and even laugh when another chimp pretends to tickle them.
Jaak Panksepp, a Bowling Green University Psychology professor, studies rats that laugh when he tickles them. It turns out rats love to be tickled—they return again and again to the hands of researchers tickling them.
By studying rats, scientists can fi gure out what’s going on in the brain during laughter. Northwestern University biomedical engineering professor, Jeffrey Burgdorf has found that laughter in rats produces a chemical that acts as an antidepressant(抗抑郁药). He thinks the same thing probably happens in humans, too. This would give doctors a new chemical target to develop drugs that can fight depression.
Even so, laughter itself has not been proved to be the best medicine, experts said. Margaret Stuber, a professor at University of California, studied whether laugher helped patients. She found that distraction(分心) and mood improvement helped, but she could not find a benefit of laughter alone.
“No study has shown that laughter produces a direct health benefit,〞 Provine said, largely because it’s h ard to separate laughter from just feeling good. But he thinks it doesn’t really matter: “Isn’t the fact that laughter feels good when you do it enough?〞
33. The most important finding of Robert Provine’s research is that ______.
A. laughter makes a person feel good
B. laughter depends on different senses
C. rats like to be tickled very much
D. laughter is a social response shared by all creatures
34. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Patients will recover if they laugh enough.
B. Laughing is one of our means of communication.
C. A new medicine has been developed based on the laughter research.
D. Scientists have known what is happening in a human brain when he laughs.
35. According to the passage, scientists studied rats in order to find ______.
A. if they can laugh
B. if they like laughing
C. what laughter in rats produces
D. how rats react while being tickled

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

选项里面有两项为多余选项。

Seeing with Sound
According to a British news report, some blind people may finally get a chance to “see〞. __36 Dr. Peter Meijer, a scientist at Philips Research Laboratories
in the Netherlands, has developed a new system called the vOICe. The three middle letters in vOICe stand for “Oh, I see.〞Meijer’s groundbreaking technology may change the lives of visually impaired (视力障碍) people all over the world.
A wearable setup of vOICe system consists of a head-mounted camera, stereo headphones and a notebook PC. The system translates visual images from a camera into complex sounds. __37
The program is based on the theory that people can hear certain sounds and learn to translate them into meaningful mental images. Everything has its own unique sound.
38 The height of an object or person could be determined by pitch(音调). And a built-in colour identifier speaks out colour names when it is turned on. What the vOICe users had to learn is which sound went with which object. Meijer says that he is counting on th e brain’s ability to adapt.
__39 Within two weeks, most people who experiment with the vOICe system are able to identify objects such as walls and doors. They are also able to identify certain situations, including whether the lights in a room are on or off. 40 Meijer thinks that translating will eventually become automatic for many users of the vOICe, bringing a form of vision to them for the very first time.
A. Brighter areas sound louder than darker areas.
B. It then sends these sounds to a person through headphones.
C. However, they are not learning to see with their eyes; they are learning to see
with their ears.
D. The vOICe system is aiming to treat blindness by translating images from a camera
into audio signals.
E. Meijer supposes tha t the brain is interested in the information “content〞, but
not the information “carrier〞.
F. To evaluate the new system’s effectiveness, a number of visually impaired people
were chosen to test the vOICe.
G. Over time, some users have even learned to “w atch〞television or “recognize〞
the outlines of buildings as they walk.

第二节One possible Version:
My dear classmates,
There is no denying that safety at school is becoming a major concern for us students, our parents and the society. Recently our school is carrying out a program aimed at making our campus a safe place to stay on.
I consider it as a necessary and timely measure to deal with the situation now
on the campus, which will lead people to be aware that safety should always come
first in our life, whether when we stay at school or outside it. Besides, when we
are doing sports, we should pay more attention to safety and avoid being hurt. Furthermore, when we get into conflict with our classmates, we should remain calm
and avoid any form of fighting, which may only bring suffering and pain to us mentally and physically.
As far as I’m concerned, I feel all the students and teachers should work hard and creatively and keep the “Safety at School〞 activity in mind. In addition, we are supposed to observe the law and regulations at any time wherever we are and remind the people around us of the importance of safety at school and stay out of trouble.
Thanks.。
