第二部分阅读理解（共25小题。

第一节每小题2分，第二节每小题1分；共45分）
第一节阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将其涂黑。

A
Animals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than their bodies need. It has been demonstrated (证明) that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with vitamins to water without vitamins, even though there is no difference in
taste or smell between the two water bottles. When a fragrant (芳香的) flavor (味道;佐料) was added to the vitamins – enriched fluid, the rats did seem to develop a taste for it and kept drinking it, even after the vitamins were changed to the clear water. In time, however, they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were.
In a classic experiments, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a cafeteria (自助餐厅) feeding arrangement, with a wide choice of baby food before them. They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested in. We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating patterns, but that over a period of time they managed to choose a well –balanced diet.
So in choosing food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on what’s best for them. Obviously, there is a kind of “body wisdom”, which humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could. Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by long established habits. Some people eat foxes, dogs and blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how many they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going around them.
41．In the experiment on rats, a fragrant flavor was added to the rats’drinking water to .
A．encourage rats to drink vitamins – enriched water
B．find out rats’ preference in flavour
C．test whether rats know which drink is good for them
D．demonstrated the vitamins are tasteless
42．As far as their eating habits are concerned, babies and rats are similar in that .
A．both have the wisdom to choose a balanced diet
B．both prefer flavoured food and drink
C．both have the same eating patterns
D．both develop a taste for the same kinds of flavours
43．In the classic experiment mentioned in the second paragraph, babies were .
A．given many choices of drinks B．provided with various kinds of baby food
C．placed and fed in a cafeteria D．trained to select a balanced diet
44．According to the passage, adults eating habits differ from those of babies because .
A．adults know better than babies what kinds of food are good for their health
B．adults usually cannot resist the temptation of various delicious foods.
C．adults’eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customs
D．adults have more choices of food than babies in eating patterns
B
My son and I were trying to sell the house we had repaired but in the barn (谷仓) there were bats and they would not leave. The barn was their home. They told us so in their own way. They hung there in the barn and seemed determined to stay for the season. “Don’t worry about it, Dad,” Patrick said, “they keep down the mosquitoes.”
Unfortunately they also kept the buyers away. When we asked a person to sell the house for us, he refused to see it because of the bats. “Bats are popular,”Patrick comforted me, “they’re ecological (生态学的).”“Isn’t there a machine you can buy that produces high frequency sounds to
keep bats away?”I asked. “I don’t know,”said Patrick, “But I like bats, and whoever buys this house will probably like them too.” “Probably?” I hated that word. “How many bats are there, anyway?”“I counted about 90 last night,” said Patrick, “They were dropping out from under the edge of the roof.”“You mean there are more – outside?”“They’re everywhere, Dad. But look at it this way. When the cold weather comes, they’ll be off to Mexico. Maybe in the spring we can keep them out. Don’t worry about it,”he said for the hundredth time. “It’s not a problem.”
The bat expert I called was even more active than Patrick. “I think you’ve got a large number there,” he said in wonder, “I’ve been trying to attract bats to our house for 25 years. A single bat eats up his weight in mosquitoes and black flies three times every night. You’re a very lucky man.” I offered to share my luck with him. He could take them away. “Bats have a remarkable homing instinct (本能),”he said, “They’d fly straight back even if I transported them 100 miles. Once they have settled, you can’t stop them from coming back.” I was silent.
Finally we managed to rent the house to a young family, who were also interested in buying it. “Wha t about the bats?” I said to Patrick.
“Oh, they love the bats,” he said. “No mosquitoes. No black flies. It’s one of the things that attracted them.”“Do you think they will really but the house?” I asked. “Probably.”“Probably? Well, if they do, I suppose I’ll have to admit that I was wrong.”“You mean you’re going to eat your words?” Patrick laughed and asked. “Yes, I am.”
45．What was the problem the author had with his house?
A．Bats were living in the barn and wouldn’t go away.
B．The author and his son couldn’t sleep well because of the bats.
C．The author and his son might be able to stay for the season.
D．The house was still badly in need of repair.
46．What solution did the father and son discuss to stop the bats living in the barn?
A．Buying a high frequency machine.
B．Moving them one hundred miles away.
C．Reducing the number of mosquitoes.
D．Closing the barn in the spring.
47．Why did the author fall silent when he talked with the bat specialist?
A．He felt sure about the situation.
B．He found out that it would be impossible to remove the bats.
C．He learned that he would be able to share his luck with the expert.
D．He liked the advice given by the expert.
48．What happened to the house in the end?

C．The bat expert made the decision to buy the house.
D．The bats left house for Mexico in the spring .

Last night was the last game for my eight – year – old son’t soccer team. It was the final quarter. The score was two to one, my son’s team in the lead. Parents surrounded the playground, offering encouragement.
With less than ten seconds remaining, the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son’s teammate, Mickey O’Donnel. With shouts of “Kick it!”echoing (回响) across the playground, Mickey turned around and gave it everything he had. All around me the crowd erupted (沸腾). O’Donnel had scored!
Then there was silence. Mickey had scored all right, but in the wrong goal, ending the game in a tie. For a moment there was a total hush. You see,
Mickey has Down’s syndrome (唐氏综合症) and for him there is no such thing as a wrong goal. All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey. He had even been known to hug the opposing players when they scored.
The silence was finally broken when Mickey, his face filled with joy, hugged my son tightly and shouted, “I scored! I scored. Everybody won! Everybody won!” For a moment I held my breath, not sure how my son would react. I need not have worried. I watched, through tears, as my son threw up his hand in the classic high – five salute and started chanting, “Way to go Mickey! Way to go Mickey!”Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey, joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal.
Later that night, when my daughter asked who had won, I smiled as I replied, “It was a tie. Everybody won.”

D．Mickey was a kind – hearted boy and hoped everybody won
53．The purpose of the author in writing the passage is .

C．to show enjoying a game is more than winning a game
D．to present his son’s fine qualities of understanding others

Although international students want to dive into American culture, it is easier to stay close to the familiar.
“Most international students told me that they want to meet and make friends with as many Americans as they can,”said Mark Galloway, Institute for International Studies (IIS) student adviser at Murray State University. “But in reality, they are comfortable with being around people from their own country, if possible.”
Testing of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is an admissions (入学) test for international students enrolling in American universities. Galloway said students’ scores decreased when they spent less time with American students. More than 450 international students are on campus at Murray State University. Thailand, Japan, South Korea, China and Germany are the countries with the most students this semester, according to an IIS report.
Wichien Eampromate, Thai Studernt Association president, said poor English ability and cultural differences make it difficult for Thai students to spend time with Americans. “We eat different things; we do different kinds of things,” said Eampromate.
On the other hand, Joon – Seong Bae, an exchange student from Korea
University, said he tries to avoid hanging around other Koreans. But it is not easy for him. He said he is less comfortable with Americans because he cannot say everything he wants to say, and not all Americans are patient with his limited English. “There were two or three Americans and me,”Bae said. “We talked about something. As time went by, I was kind of excluded (排斥在外) because they talked to each other.”
While international students venture outside their comfort zones, American students also have the opportunity to be exposed to other cultures. “I know there are a lot (of American students) who want to get to know international students,” said Philip Lee, senior from Boonville, Indiana. “They are just uncomfortable. ” Lee said he has learned about life from his international friends, although it is sometimes a challenge. “I can’t live a comfortable life all the time, ”Lee said. “I realized there is great benefit of stepping out of my comfort zone to meet people.”
54．From the first paragraph we learn that .
A．international students enjoy American culture with difficulty
B．international students all go to America without preparation
C．American culture, in fact, is the same as others
D．American culture is easy to deal with
55．What Galloway said in this passage means .
A．TOEFL is becoming more and more difficult
B．TOEFL is a test held in American universities
C．mixing with native Americans helps learning English
D．America is the only place for us to learn English
56．When American students talk with international students, they .
A．always feel comfortable
B．usually become angry
C．often charge for money
D．usually get familiar with other cultures
57．It can be inferred from this passage that .
A．international students go to America in order to improve their English B．international students can hardly make any friends in America
C．it is necessary for international students to make friends with Americans
D．it is bad for international students to get along with Americans

When most people think of tropical islands, lined with white sandy beaches and bright blue seas, it is often the Caribbean or South Pacific that comes to mind. But for Chinese tourists who want a taste of paradise on Earth there is new place to consider.
Mauritius, an island lying off the southeast of Africa in the Indian Ocean, has just been added to China’s list of tourist destinations. Rich in history, natural beauty and culture, the island has been a popular destination for the world’s tourists for many years.
On December 15 a total of eight African countries were added to the list. The others are Tunisia, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Zambia and the Seychelles.
The island has passed through the controlling hands of a number of European powers, including Dutch, French and British. In 1968, Mauritius won its independence.
At present, over half the population of Mauritius in Hindu and another fifth is Muslim (穆斯林). Both groups are descendants (后裔) from workers brought to the island from India by the British. Some Chinese were also brought over to work. There are also descendants of African slaves and Franco
Mauritians, the original settlers of the island.
One of the best things about the island is the food. There is a mouth watering mix of European, Chinese and Indian flavours and seafood is very popular. A typical Mauritian dinner might have Indian chicken curry, Chinese pork, British roast beef and French style vegetables. Boiled rice is served with just about everything. All that is washed down with a plentiful supply of local beer and rum (朗姆酒).
The pleasant tropical climate and scenery provide the perfect setting to enjoy everything. The sea is full of colorful life that lives around the coral reef (珊瑚礁). This makes Mauritius a wonderful place for swimming and diving. The large number of interesting fish means it is also an exciting place for those who like to go fishing.
58．Which group of the following topics is NOT discussed in the text?
A．Food and history. B．Scenery and population.
C．Location and sports. D．Natural resources and agriculture. 59．Which of the following is TRUE?
A．Mauritius has something similar to the Caribbean or South Pacific.
B．Mauritius has a history of less than 40 years.
C．Mauritius has been a popular destination for Chinese tourists for many years.
D．The main food in Mauritius is local beer and rum.
60．The underlined word “This”in the last paragraph refers to “”.
A．pleasant tropical climate B．beautiful scenery
C．the sea with colorful life D．the coral reef

书面表达参考例文
Dear Tom,
It is great to receive your e –mail. Now I’d like to tell you something that took place in my school yesterday. In the afternoon we held a growing – up ceremony for our coming 18 – year – old birthday. At first we made an oath that as grown – ups we should have a sense of duty for our society from now on. Then we showed our thanks to our parents who had gone through hardships to bring us up and teachers who have been educating us patiently. And our teachers also gave us cards expressing their good wishes to us. Finally, we put on wonderful performances, singing and dancing, we learned
a lot from the activity. I think it’s very important for us. I will remember
the day in my life.
Y ours,
Li Hua。
