第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
The Lyceum Theatre
David Bateman is a huge fan of this theatre.“You cannot find a theatre with a more varied past，” he argues. At first a place for musicals，the Lyceum soon began to host a lot of different events. Then there were more changes and the theatre was used as a music hall before once again becoming a theatre. And it was during this period，in 1934，that Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ saw her very first pantomime(童话剧) here!
The London Palladium
Felix Knight would be surprised if you hadn’t heard of this very famous theatre in the West End. In the 1950s，millions of viewers across Britain would watch Saturday Night at the Palladium，a weekly variety show(杂耍表演) televised live from the theatre. Nowadays，the theatre hosts musicals such as The Sound of Music，but it also hosts a number of important events such as the British film awards in 2007.
The Globe Theatre
“People are likely to overlook the Globe Theatre because it’s not in the West End，”says Jane Campbell. The theatre is a copy of the Elizabethan playhouse that was built in 1599 and where Shakespeare’s plays were written and performed. Every last inch of the rebuilt Globe is authentic(逼真的)，even the fact that it is an
ope n­air theatre.
The Piccadilly Theatre
For Mariella Clark，this theatre is her number one choice. Opened in 1928，it may not be the oldest theatre in the West End，but it is one of the biggest and has certainly made its mark—during its time as a cinema it actually showed the first talking movie ever！“I’d always thought that theatres put on plays or musicals from day one，”Mariella says，“so I was quite surprised when I first began to realize that they often have quite interesting histories.”
21．According to David，the Lyceum Theatre________．
A．has a very colourful past B．was used to show movies
C．was the favourite of Queen Elizabeth D．offers shows as well as events on stage 22．Which theatre could be unpleasant on a rainy day?
A．The London Palladium. B．The Piccadilly Theatre.
C．The Lyceum Theatre. D．The Globe Theatre.
23．Who feels surprised at the history of his or her favourite theatre? A．Mariella. B．David. C．Felix. D．Jane.
B
When something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say，”Well,it’s so-and-so’s fault.”or “I know I’m late，but it’s not my fault；the car broke down.”It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However,you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on the p erson. You should accept that the person.
Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.
24. According to the passage, winners .
A. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives
B. deal with problems rather than blame others
C. have responsible and able colleagues
D. blame themselves rather that others
25.The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .
A. avoid
B. accept
C. consider
D. improve
26.When your colleague brings about a problem, you should .
A. find a better way to handle the problem
B. blame him for his lack of responsibility
C. tell him to find the cause of the problem
D. ask a more able colleague for help
27. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. A Winner’s Opportunity.
B. A Winner’s Problem.
C. A Winner’s Secret.
D. A Winner’s Achievement.
C
“Reconstituted” families are more and more common in the UK.
Steve and Debbie got married in 2001 and had two children，Lily and Alex. Unfortunately，Steve and Debbie’s marriage didn’t work out and they got divorced
in 2006.The children live with Debbie. In 2008，Debbie remarried. Her new husband，Martin，has three children from his previous marriage and they visit Debbie, Martin, Lily and Alex at weekends. In addition，Debbie is pregnant with her third child. She’s expecting a boy who will be a half­brother to Lily and Alex and also to Martin’s three other children.
Confused? Debbie’s family arrangements might have seemed strange 30 years ago but nowadays this kind of “reconstituted” family is increasingly common in the UK. Almost half of all marriages in Britain end in divorce and over 40% of marriages are remarriages. More than 10% of all British children live with one birth parent and a stepparent—a parent who isn’t their biological mother or father.The traditional “nuclear” family of two parents and their children is not so traditional any more.
What does all of this m ean for parents in these “reconstituted” families？“There are difficulties and challenges,” says Debbie.“Different families have different routines and it can be difficult for children to move between their two families. Birthdays and holidays can be tricky. Where do the children go？Who should they spend their time with？Also, when my children are naughty it can be difficult for Martin to tell them off. Things that might be simple in a traditional family can be a bit more complicated.”
And how about the children？Martin’s eldest child，Ella，is 12. “I like my two families,” she says.“I live with my mum but visit my dad quite often and I’m happy that my mum and dad get along OK. They’re not married any more but it’s good that they can still be friends.” Of cou rse divorce and separation are never easy but many families in the UK are finding ways to make family life work in new ways. 28．Why did Steve and Debbie get separated?
A．They couldn’t support the children.
B．They couldn’t get along well.
C．They were both out of work.
D．They had serious economic problems.
29．We can learn from the text that a “nuclear” family ________.
A．has two birth parents and their children
B．has two birth parents and only one child
C．is traditional but complicated
D．doesn’t have any chil dren
30．What do the underlined words “tell them off” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A．make them annoyed B．send them to school
C．let out their secrets D．talk angrily to them
31．What’s the text mainly about?
A．The difference between “marriage” and “remarriage”．
B．More and more people get divorced in the UK.
C．“Reconstituted” families are becoming more and more in the UK.
D．The marriage situation is becoming severe.
D
Last year Congress issued a moral call to action when it ordered the National Institutes of Health to reevaluate its ethical oversight (伦理上的疏忽) of government-funded primate (灵长类) research. Although the scientific community widely sees nonhuman primates as essential for advances in bio-medicine (they have caused major gains in the fights against AIDS and neurological（神经学的）diseases such as Parkinson’s, for example), researchers agree more can be done to treat the animals more humanely and conduct research less wastefully. To that end, the NIH gathered famous scientists last September to discuss the future of primate-based research—and they agreed that data sharing is the way forward.
Researchers could reduce experiments on nonhuman primates by studying data that have already been collected to answer new questions, says David O’Conno r, a pathologist（病理学家）at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. O’Connor is walking the walk: his laboratory studies the Zika virus（寨卡病毒）in primates, and he immediately posts all the results online. The goal is to figure out ways to fight Zika as quickly as possible without placing an undue burden on research primates. The Seattle-based Allen Institute for Brain Science, which uses rhesus macaques（恒河猴）, small South Asian monkeys, to study the molecular（分子的）basis of brain development, also makes all results public. O’Connor s ays this practice should be more widespread so that “researchers who are using this scarce but vital resource can learn as much as possible from as few animals as necessary.” Still, he is skeptical （怀疑的）that data sharing will catch on because it would require a change in
“normative behavior”—science’s strong culture of secrecy, in which data are kept under wraps until they are published in a peer-reviewed journal. One step toward full transparency（透明度）is to follow the lead of human clinical trials（临床研究）, says Christine Grady, a bio-ethicist at the NIH. U.S. law requires most clinical trials to register online and make their results public, even if a study fails or is inconclusive. This ensures that other researchers can learn from a trial regardless of its results—a move that could also safeguard primates against being used for the same thing twice. Nancy Haigwood, director of the Oregon National Primate Research Center, also says data sharing is “the way of the future.” Her center hosts 4,800 primates to study a variety of human diseases. She currently contributes results from her center to O’Connor’s Web site. “I don’t see a drawback,” she says. “We have to share data more quickly.”
32. What does Congress think of the primate research?
A. It has done a great deal of good to advances in bio-medicine.
B. It is a huge waste of money to conduct research on primates.
C. Primate-based research must be stopped for moral reasons.
D. Proper attention should be given to treating primates humanely.
33. The underlined phr ase “walking the walk” in Paragraph 2 shows that O’Connor
_______.
A. is the leader in fighting Zika virus in primates
B. is walking away from his own responsibility
C. is carrying out what he has said he should do
D. is taking a tough road when posting his data
34. According to O’Connor, what might prevent scientists from sharing their data?
A. The deep-rooted culture that data should be kept secret until published.
B. The fact that scientists are unwilling to change their way of research.
C. The requirement that most clinical trials should be registered online.
D. The fear that they will be laughed at if a study fails or is inconclusive.
35. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. The Merciless Practice of Primate Research
B. To Treat Primates More Humanely: Transparency
C. To Abandon Experiments on Primates: Final Goal
D. The Burden of Research on Nonhuman Primates

Ireland now has one of the best education systems in the world. Class sizes are small, exam results are good and most children are happy to stay at school after the minimum(最小值) leaving age of sixteen. 36 .
For years, Ireland had one of the most complicated(复杂的) education systems in the world. 37 Classes were large and the teaching was very traditional. As in many countries，teachers used to hit the children if they made mistakes. Fortunately, the punishment was not allowed in 1982.
38 As a result, there were schools for the rich and schools for the poor. Boys and girls went to different schools. Nowadays, most schools are free and only about half the schools are either for girls or boys. 39 Girls do better than boys in their exams; more girls go to university and most teachers are women.
At the end of secondary school, students take their final exams. Compulsory(必修的) subjects are maths, Irish and English. 40 Some of these, like business organization, help to prepare them for the world of work. This is very different from the past when Latin and Greek used to be the most important subjects.
A．Parents used to pay for their children’s education.
B．In many ways，education is now a woman’s world.
C．Public schools in Ireland are not run by the government.
D．In addition, they must choose two or three extra subjects.
E．It is easy to forget that the picture used to be very different.
F．Here, children do not learn any subjects but some basic skills.
G．There were many different kinds of schools, but most of them had a lot in common. 第三部分：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）

书面表达 (满分25分)
One possible version:
In the picture, we can see a boy in worn clothes, sitting at a shabby wooden table with a pile of books on it. A weak ray of light came in through a small hole in the wall and he was absorbed in his reading.
This is a well-known story from an ancient Chinese idiom. The boy, being poor, couldn’t afford even a candle, so he bored a hole in the wall to “steal” light from his neighbor’s house to read at night. The moral of the story is: spare no effort to acquire knowledge and never get discouraged easily no matter how difficult the situation may be.
Of course, things are totally different today. It is not the story itself but what is reflected in the story counts. Hard work pays off. We should take pains to improve ourselves through learning and get prepared for the future.。
