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）This time last year I entered two long-distance mass-participation swimming events, including the Jubilee River 10 km swim. At the last minute, just before both swims, I decided to pull out. The reality is, I live in fear of coming last.
Last year, before the two events, I realized that I couldn’t deal with coming last. I had looked at the swim times of those who had completed the previous year and calculated that, at my current swim pace, I would probably have come last. I just couldn’t face it. But when next year came around, I decided to enter those same events again.
For a few months, I trained hard, but I didn’t get any faster. Then it was June 5, the day of the Jubilee River 10 km. The event started at 9:30 am, and the swimmers were anxious and eager to start. As I swam along, the river was quiet and clean and everything was peaceful. The sun shone, Meadows (草地）rolled by and every now and then someone would wave at the scene unfolding in the water.
As the day wore on, somehow I didn’t mind that, predictably, almost everyone was ahead. There were at least some swimmers still near me, and although we shared the same river we quietly occupied our own spaces. As I concentrated on doing my own thing, watching the sky, the bank, the other swimming caps passing or not passing, I realized I was enjoying myself.
In the end, four hours and 4 minutes after I’d started, I staggered (摇摇晃晃地走)out of the water and was greeted with a smile and a “well done” from the race organizer. I glanced back over my shoulder toward the water and noticed that there were a small handful of swimmers who were still to finish, behind me, out of a field of around 300 swimmers. But it didn’t matter. I was just relieved, proud and happy to finish.
As I drove away, my thoughts turned to my next long race of the season and how much I was looking forward to it, my fears of coming last gently receding(渐渐远去).
1、The author intended to quit swimming mainly because _______.
A．she feared that she couldn’t finish the two races
B．she was afraid that she would let family members down
C．she was unwilling to accept the possibility of finishing last
D．she didn’t fully prepared for the two races
2、The author hopes to convey the message that ______.
A．never give up when facing challenges
B．it is process that matters most
C．failure is the mother of success
D．winners always take it all
3、What did the underlined sentence mean in the fifth paragraph?
A．She took pride in leaving all the other swimmers behind
B．She was proud that she was not the last one in the race
C．She was glad to finish the race and had a sense of relief
D．She was proud to be praised by the organizer
4、It can be inferred from the end that the author is likely to _______. A．participate in another race without any hesitation
B．analyze the reason why she failed in the race
C．lose confidence completely
D．decide whether she is suitable for the race
（8分）Natalie Trayling is a famous street artist in Melbourne. At first, those 22．
who happened to pass by her and spare some change didn’t even realize what a musical genius was playing. The emotional tune was not only masterfully played but also composed by Natalie herself when she was only 14. Gradually, as long as she appears, people will stop, absorbed in her music. Her music makes you think about calmness, the good things in life, and never giving up.
But what people do not know is that behind the beautiful music of the old woman, it is full of bitterness. At the age of 12, she won a music scholarship at Santa Maria College. At 15 she knocked back a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music in London because her parents couldn’t pay non-tuition costs. When she left school, she taught piano at Santa Maria. Later she met her husband, Denis. They had four children, but the two of them died. In 1984, Denis asked for a divorce. Natalie’s son, Nathan, was given medication for depression. Natalie lived either outdoors in Royal Park or in boarding houses for nine years. In late 2003 Natalie collapsed with anaemia(贫血) and was hospitalized for six months.
For half a century, Natalie has been teased by fate. But even so, she never gave up her love for music. When asked why the music was so important to her, she said: “Music is everythin g. I do feel part of it. The whole world is music.”
When Natalie went on the Internet, she became a sign of Melbourne. People are impressed by her persistence in dreams and the optimism of life. Now she is no longer wandering around. She can play the piano at any time, but as long as the weather is good, she will walk to the streets of Melbourne, and play a touching melody for the rush of the city.
1、Why is Natalie’s music so touching to the passers-by?
A．It is full of bitterness.
B．She composed it herself.
C．It’s a reflection of her own life.
D．It reminds of the beauty of life.
2、Which of the following can replace the underlined word “knocked back” i n Paragraph 2?
A．gave up
B．obtained
C．accepted
D．was awarded
3、What does music mean to Natalie?
A．It’s her hobby.
B．It’s the source of her misfortune.
C．It is part of her life.
D．It’s a way to earn a living.
4、What does the author try to tell us?
A．Natalie is a musical genius.
B．Life is not easy for everyone.
C．Never give up halfway.
D．Natalie has a strong and brave heart.
23．（8分）Happy Birthday to Me (and My Mom)
Forty-three years ago my mother went into labour for the second time. It was either very late N ew Year’s Day or very early on the second day of 1969 depending on how you looked at it but either way, it was a full week past her due date when my mom woke up knowing it was time to wake my dad up, get dressed, pack up the car and head to the hospital. Her regular doctor was on vacation and when they reached the hospital they planned to deliver in were told that the doctor was on his way to another hospital so they should head there, in a neighbouring city. Most surprising to me now is that she felt well enough to attend a New Year’s party the previous night and stayed long enough to toast in the new year!
My mom and her family had immigrated to the United States just twenty years earlier from El Salvador. And that was a lucky thing for me. Not only did my mom gain access to a better education and career options here in the US for herself, each of her three daughters would also enjoy her access to quality maternity (孕产妇的) care. While the US is hardly the world leader in maternal health or birth outcomes, these days a woman faces a 1 in 2,100 risk of dying during her life and in El Salvador, it’s 1 in 350-6 times worse. In 1969, that difference was even greater.
However, I was pregnant with my second child in El Salvador six years ago when I realized how very different my life might have turned out if I’d lived there when I delivered my first child. I travelled down there with CARE, the humanitarian relief organization, whose efforts my mom had long supported, to see some of their principal programmes in action. Among them was one in particular that remains with me today. It was a water project where pregnant women, many of whom had walked miles to access this clean water, receive some basic care before or after childbirth. Here these women were, facing the exact same physical challenges as me but still carrying the full
work load of the family and with little to no resources for information, care, transportation or comfort during or after their pregnancies.
By this time, I was all too aware of what a challenge childbirth could be. After delivering my daughter in 2003, I survived a hemorrhage (大出血), the leading childbirth-related complication that takes the lives of thousands of other mothers all over the world. One girl or woman dies every 90 seconds in pregnancy or childbirth from what is in most cases a preventable death. I was as shocked as you are when I discovered this fact but I was also grateful. Grateful because I had been in the care of a team of health workers when I needed them most.
I thought of my mother’s life. While she had been born in a good hospital in San Salvador in the 1930’s, at that time pregnancy-related deaths were common even in the US. My great grandmother also hemorrhaged, only after delivering her fifth child and she died. Her husband, my mom’s grandfather was a physician at the time. He would give up practising medicine forever when he couldn’t save her.
But it wasn’t only my mom and her family that I thought of as I considered my o wn fate and good fortune, it was all those women I’d spent the day with in the rural community I’d visited with CARE. We’d made a connection that day, we mothers, as women. These women did not have access to the simple interventions (介入) that could insure their survival and that’s what concerned me. It did more than concern me, it woke me up and begged this question, why should any one life be of different value than any other?
And so, I made the commitment right there and then to do all I could to improve maternal health and reduce the number of maternal deaths around the globe.
1、The underlined phrase “went into labour” in Paragraph 1 means “________”. A．suffered from a disease B．gave birth to a baby
C．took up an offer of work D．tidied up the house
2、According to the passage, the writer felt fortunate enough ________.
A．to enjoy the best maternity care in the world
B．to attend better schools in the United States
C．to live in a developed country permanently
D．to have a better sense of maternal security
3、When she returned to her motherland six years ago, the writer ________. A．regretted not delivering her first child there
B．was very surprised at the great changes there
C．offered special care to women in need there
D．researched into the medical conditions there
4、The writer realized the vital importance of maternity care ________
A．through her own experience
B．with the help of health workers
C．during her stay in El Salvador
D．upon the death of some women
5、The writer is obviously determined to ________.
A．be a physician different from her great grandfather
B．change the situation in the field of maternal health
C．request more people to care about maternity care
D．volunteer care during or after w omen’s pregnancies
6、What conclusion does the passage lead you to?
A．Pregnancy-related deaths can hardly be kept from happening.
B．Birth and death went hand in hand with each other very often.
C．Physicians failed to save patients from various curable diseases.
D．Women would rather have no children for tear of a hemorrhage.
24．（8分）A young man wandered through the desert for forty until he reached a beautiful castle at the top of a mountain. There lived the sage that he was looking for.
With considerable pati ence, the sage listened attentively to the reason for the boy’s visit, but told him that at that moment he did not have time to explain to him the secret of happiness.
He suggested that the young man take a walk around his palace and come back in two hours’ time.
“However, I want to ask you a favor,” he added, banding the boy a teaspoon, in which he poured two drops of oil. “While you walk, carry this spoon and don’t let the oil spill.”
The young man began to climb up and down the palace staircases, always keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon. At the end of two hours he returned to the presence of the wise man.
“So,” asked the sage, “did you see the Persian tapestries(挂毯)hanging in my dining room? Did you see the fantastic garden that the Master of Gardeners spent ten years in creating?”
Embarrassed, the young man admitted that he had seen nothing.
“So, go back and see the wonders of my world,” said the wise man. “You can’t trust a man if you don’t know his house.”
Now more at ease, the young man took the spoon and wandered again through the palace, this time paying attention to all the works of art that hung from the ceilings and walls. He saw the gardens, the mountains all around the palace, and the delicacy of the flowers. Returning to the sage, he reported in detail what he had seen.
“But where are the two drops of oil that I entrusted to you?” asked the Sage.
Looking down at the spoon, the young man realized that he had spilled the oil.
“Well, that is the only advice I have to give you,” said the sage of sages. “The secret of happiness lies in looking at all the wonders of the world and never forgetting the two drops of oil in the spoon.”
1、What was the intention of the young man to travel to look for the sage?
A．To appreciate the most beautiful scenery along the way
B．To experience adventures of the outside world
C．To figure out whether the sage was knowledgeable or not
D．To learn the secret of happiness from the wisest man
2、Which of the following statements is wrong?
A．The sage listened to the young man with patience
B．During his second round of wandering, the young man appreciated the wonders of the castle
C．The young man made it as the sage had expected
D．The young man was too concerned about the oil when he first went around the castle 3、Why did the sage ask the young man to go around his castle with a spoon of two drops of oil?
A．Because he wanted to find out whether the young man was perseverant in accomplishing his goals
B．Because he intended to let the young man know that happiness came at a price C．Because he wanted to let the young man trust him
D．Because he wanted to help the young man to uncover the secret of happiness in an indirect way
4、What can we learn from the story?
A．We can’t trust a man unless we get familiar with his house
B．Real happiness consists in enjoying our rights and meanwhile fulfilling our duties C．The search for the secret of happiness demands our devotion
D．It’s not easy to keep balance between enjoyment and commitment
25．（10分）Last year, my mother brought out an old college-ruled notebook: one of the journals in which she has kept a record of all the dinner parties she has hosted since 1976. I have a similar journal. But I am a writer, and she is a chemist. Mine features descriptions and feelings about the dinners I’ve hosted, while hers reads like laboratory notes — just the meal plan and who was invited.
“Salmon mousse (慕斯),” she announced, reading the first enrty. “My God, I must have made that a hundred times. Do you remember them?” I did not. But I did remember that salmon mousse.
Old friends came and went in her journal. New favorites joined the menu. My husband’s name first shows up in 1997, along with a meal of just hors d’oeuvres because he loved it. My sister-in-law’s name arrived in 2006, and with it, all shellfish disappeared from family menus — she would get sick after eating it. There is my mother’s partner, Ruth, who appeared in 1991, signaling almost five years of vegetarian (素食主义者) dishes before she gave in to my mother’s ham. And there is my father, who, despite being her ex-husband, appeared every year after their divorce.
While my mother has always written in her journal before a dinner party, I write in mine afterward. In my mother’s books, everything is clear. Hers passes from early motherhood through divorce and the deaths of friends without a break. I, on the other hand, have three entire years unaccounted for. I see her journals and am envious: By 45, I should not be winging it at dinner. I should practice with old favorites. I should have a salmon mousse.
And so I am putting this decision into practice at a dinner party for writer friends. The menu is already written in my book. To start, a favorite of mine has already been cured in the fridge: salmon gravlax. And for this I must apologize to my mother: It is as close as I can get. I love you; I do. But I have always hated that salmon mousse.
1、What can we know from Paragraph 3?
A．The writer's husband is a vegetarian.
B．The writer’s sister-in-law is allergic to shellfish.
C．Ruth didn't like the ham made by the writer’s mom.
D．The writer’s father never came back home since his divorce.
2、Which statement may come from the writer’s journal?
A．Salmon gravlax for writer friends.
B．Thanksgiving, friends coming.
C．I am glad lots of writer friends came last night.
D．Tom and Lily are coming as well as Mr. Green tonight.
3、How can we describe the writer’s mother?
A．Considerate and strong-minded. B．Stubborn but organized.
C．Outgoing and generous. D．Warm-hearted but disloyal.
4、Why does the author write this passage?
A．To show her love for her mother. B．To put her decision into practice.
C．To compare two different journals. D．To express her hate for salmon mousse. 第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．26．（30分）I had not seen my parents for a long time.

Tracy sent three of her stories to a publisher. 4．(interest), they immediately suggested that she put them together 5．(make)a single one long story and paid Tracy $ 50, 000 in advance, which was a pretty money for an unknown writer.

“Can I? I don’t think I can,” Tracy said with a laugh. “But I do have moments when things come to me for no reason.” Once, she 8．(wonder) how to complete a scene set in ancient China when the doorbell suddenly rang.

Though she has published 10 books, Tracy has remained unchanged by her fame. She lives in the same way she lived 27 years ago — although in a 10．(big) house. There’s more room for joy in her life —and it wasn’t just writing.

29、Hello, everybody! I’m very glad to share my dream with you.
I have a dream that one day I could be a pianist. I dream of playing a sweet tune for those who need music, bringing happiness to sorrowful souls and enthusiasm to weary spirits.
I love music, and I love the feeling of playing music in front of the audience. Of all the instruments, the delicate yet powerful sound a piano makes impresses me most.
It’s clear that I have a long way to go before I realize my dream. Therefore, I will practice every day as long as time permits and learn as many songs as I can. I will put my heart into my pursuit of music and never give up.
I am confident that one day my dream will come true. Thank you.。
