第二部分阅读理解（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A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A
Reading is a great way to improve your English. You'll learn new words, revise previously-taught structures and absorb thousands of useful expressions and phrases... without any effort. By reading, you are receiving valuable language input. And this is how you learn! Remember, language learning is a combination of input + practice. As you're reading, you're taking in language naturally, and you're seeing how it all fits together. This is crucial to your learning.
The great thing about reading is that learning takes place subconsciously. There are no exercises to do, no grammar rules to learn, no tasks to complete... it’s all natural. The language flows in through your eyes, and gets registered (记录) in your brain. What could be easier?
The key to effective reading is to read things that you want to read. There are millions of books, magazines and websites out there. You couldn't possibly read them all. So, the important thing is to find things that you like reading. Then, you'll be motivated to read. And then the reading won't be difficult. It'll be easy! And then you'll learn. It's simple.
Remember: read what you want to read. What you like reading. What motivates and inspires you. But where can you start? Well, you could read a book that you've already read in your own language. Simply find a translated version of a book that you have read and enjoyed. This will make processing the content in the target language much easier as you’ll already know what the book is about! You could also read the news. This is great as you can read the news in your own language first, then in English. You'll see that it won't be too difficult as you'll be familiar with the topics and stories. Magazines are also great. Find one that covers a topic you're interested in: business, clothing, guns, horses, houses, housekeeping, stocks and shares, sports, computers, electronics, designing, cooking... you name it, they'll have it. If not, look for information on the internet. There are also websites for every topic under the sun! Why not join a forum? They're a great source of English input as the language is often written in a simple, spoken style. Go to Google Groups, which has discussion groups based on common interests. Just type in the topic that interests you and join the chat.
Finally, how you read is also important. The best thing is to read without using a dictionary.
Let the words flow over you. Just skip the parts you don't understand. If you make your reading feel too much like work, it'll stop being fun. Of course, you could make a note of any new words and phrases that you like or see repeated frequently, but try not to break your concentration too much. Also, set yourself mini-objectives. For example, if you're reading a novel, read 20 pages a day. Very soon, you'll have been exposed to thousands of useful phrases and words. Have fun reading! You'll learn so much!

37. The key to effective reading is ______.

38. You can start to read by ______.

B. reading the news in English first
C. going to Google Groups to practice spoken English
D. reading magazines containing topics you are interested in

A. when you read you needn’t look up every new word in the dictionary
B. the great thing about reading is that you can read without any effort
C. to read is as much fun as to work

B
Energy independence. It has a nice ring to it. Doesn’t it? If you think so, you’re not alone, because energy independence has been the dream of American president for decades, and never more so than in the past few years, when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession (经济衰退).
“Energy independence” and its rhetorical (修辞的) companion “energy security” are,
however, unreliable concepts that are rarely thought through. What is it we want independence from, exactly?
Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil. But there are reasons that we buy all that oil from elsewhere.
The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running. Yes, there is a trickle (细流) of biofuel (生物燃料) available, and more may become available, but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction.
Second, Americans have basically decided that they don’t really want to produce all their own oil. They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad. Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection. To what extent are Americans really willing to tolerate the environmental impacts of domestic (国内的) energy production in order to cut back imports?
Third, there are benefits to trade. It allows for economic efficiency, and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do, we benefit. And although you don’t read about this much, the United States is also a large exporter of oil products, selling about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries.
There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and, in fact, relies on that steady flow to maintain its economy. When that flow is interrupted, we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices. At the same time, we get massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world.
41. What does the author say about energy independence for America?
A. It sounds very attractive.
B. It will bring oil prices down.
C. It ensures national security.
D. It has long been everyone’s dream.
42. What does the author think of biofuels?
A. They keep America’s economy running healthily.
B. They cause serious damage to the environment.
C. They prove to be a good alternative to petroleum.
D. They do not provide a sustainable energy supply.
43. Why does America rely heavily on oil imports?
A. It wants to expand its storage of raw oil.
B. Its own oil reserves are quickly running out.
C. Its own oil production falls short of demand.
D. It wants to keep its own environment untouched.
44. What does the author say about oil trade?
A. It makes for economic recession.
B. It brings benefit only to the sellers.
C. It improves economic efficiency.
D. It saves the cost of oil exploration.
45. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To explain the increase of international oil trade.
B. To raise Americans’ awareness of the energy crisis.
C. To argue for America’s dependence on oil imports.
D. To stress the importance of energy protection.
C
Treasure hunts (寻宝) have excited people’s ima gination for hundreds of years both in real life and in books such as Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island. Kit Williams, a modern writer, had the idea of combining the real excitement of a treasure hunt with clues (线索) found in a book when he wrote a children’s story, Masquerade, in 1979. The book was about a hare, and a month before it came out Williams buried a gold hare in a park in Bedfordshire. The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the hare, but Williams put in a lot of “red herrings”, or false clues, to mislead them.
Ken Roberts, the man who found the hare, had been looking for it for nearly two years. Al- though he had been searching in the wrong area most of the time, he found it by logic, not by luck. His success came from the fact that he had gained an important clue at the start. He had realized that the words: “One of Six to Eight” under the first picture in the book connected the hare in some way to Katherine of Aragon, the first of Henry VIII’s six wives. Even here, however, Williams had succeeded in misleading him. Ken knew that Katherine of Aragon had died at Kimbolton in Cambridgeshire in 1536 and thought that Williams had buried the hare there. He had been digging there for over a year before a new idea occurred to him. He found out that Kit Williams had spent his childhood near Ampthill, in Bedfordshire, and thought that he must have buried the hare in a place he knew well, but he still could not see the connection with Katherine of Aragon, until one day he came across two stone crosses in Ampthill Park and learnt that they had
been built in her honor in 1773.
Even then his search had not come to an end. It was only after he had spent several nights digging around the cross that he decided to write to Kit Williams to find out if he was wasting his time there. Williams encouraged him to continue, and on February 24th 1982, he found the treasure. It was worth ₤3000 in the beginning, but the excitement it had caused since its burial made it much more valuable.
46. The underlined word “them” (paragraph 1) refers to________.
A. red herrings
B. treasure hunts
C. Henry VIII’s six wives
D. readers of Masquerade
47. What is the most important clue in the story to help Ken Roberts find the hare?
A. Two stone crosses in Ampthill.
B. Stevenson’s Treasure Island.
C. Katherine of Aragon.
D. Williams’ hometown.
48 The stone crosses in Ampthill were built________.
A. to tell about what happened in 1773
B. to show respect for Henry VIII’s first wife
C. to serve as a roadsign in Ampthill Park
D. to inform people where the gold hare was
49. Which of the following describes Roberts’ logic in searching for the hare?
a. Henry VIII’s six wives
b. Katherine’s bu rial place at Kimbolton
c. Williams’ childhood in Ampthill
d. Katherine of Aragon
e. stone crosses in Ampthill Park
A. a -b- c- e- d
B. d- b- c- e- a
C. a- d- b- c- e
D. b- a- e- c- d
50. What is the subject discussed in the text?
A. An exciting historical event.
B. A modem treasure hunt.
C. The attraction of Masquerade.

第三部分阅读表达（共5 小题,每小题2分,满分10分）
阅读下面的短文,请根据短文后的要求用英语回答问题。

Where would any of us be if we went to schools where no competition was allowed? How would we know whether we have the ability to be good at a sport or other things? How would we know whether we are making the right effort or whether we are wasting our time? How would we learn the concept of improving our performance? How would we know about setting and meeting goals?
Competition serves so many purposes. Competition sets many people on the right path towards understanding what it takes to win. Competition can tell a student when more work, more time or improved studying strategies are needed to catch up with other students who achieve higher grades and better results from their study programs.
Children learn through competition that desires and hard work may not be enough to win recognition, higher grades or rewards. There are times when students must learn that they may not be able to excel (突出) in certain sports or academic areas. Everyone can, however, do their best to support their teams in other ways, even though they are not the star of the team.
Students would move on to areas where they are showing advantages and can excel. Competition will force them to stop putting their time into trying to meet inappropriate goals.
Unfair competition exists somewhere, but it can teach students about the realities of the world ahead of them. Most importantly, they can get the good lesson that no one can escape being punished for cheating or lying in competition.
It would be impossible to eliminate all competition from a child’s school experience. There is no benefit to sending a young person into a world with no lessons learned from competition.
66. What is the main idea of the text? (no more than 8 words)
67. How can competition help students achieve higher grades? (no more than 15 words)
68. What lesson can students learn from unfair competition? (no more than 12 words)
69. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “eliminate” in the last para graph?
(no more than 3 words)
70. In your opinion, what is the benefit of competition? (no more than 25 words)
