第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节：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
Many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming. Last week I received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide. In closing she called me a hero.
That got me thinking about what a hero is. Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning car? If so, how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone’s life?
Today I looked up the word “hero” in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant. It read “a person who does something brave”and also “a person who is good and noble”.
That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave. So I thought about something very important. And I remembered what happened to me years ago.
After my marriage of twenty years ended, I was in such a condition.
I was within hours trying to get enough courage to end the pain and misery. When I returned home, someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend. That wonderful card probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero.
The many stories I kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenage boy. In turn that makes the person who sent me the card a double hero. I suppose that is why I fight so hard to help the children now living in orphanages (孤儿院). Most children come out of these institutions with a very hard and bitter attitude against the world. The gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten. Hopefully, most of them will never hurt anyone because of the kindness shown to them by those of us who cared. If it works, we will also become "heroes".
56. The main idea of the passage is _______________.
A. why the writer should be a hero
B. what a hero exactly is
C. whether the writer is a hero
D. that everyone is a hero
57. Why did the woman call the writer a hero at the end of the call?
A. Because he asked her son not to kill himself.
B. Because he saved a family from a burning car.
C. Because his story saved her son’s life.
D. Because he was cute and kind to everybody.
58. What does the underlined word “it” in the last sentence of Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. The wonderful card the writer received.
B. The action of sending the card.
C. The fact that the sender helped the writer.
D. The fact that the sender was a friend of the writer.
59. What’s the writer’s attitude to “brave people”?
A. neutral
B. supportive
C. objective
D. irony
B
Each year on February 2nd, there is special festival called Groundhog Day (土拨鼠日)' forecasting event in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. When it comes, people from around the world, including 5,000 in the small town today, watch this tongue-twisting(发音饶舌的) small town for a sign from one groundhog that supposedly predicts when that years' spring will arrive.
If it's a cloudy day outside when the groundhog pops from its cave, then spring will arrive early that year. However, if it is sunny outside, the groundhog will supposedly be scared by its own shadow, hiding underground for six more weeks of cold weather.
Of course, Punxsutawney Phil's prediction is no more able to guarantee the extended forecast than your local weatherman. ABC News reports that an analysis by the National Climate Data Center found that Phil's predictions are more often wrong than right.
Philis is also found to have made some unpleasant predictions. Ever since 1887, he has predicted 99 extended winters and just 16 early springs .Nine of the years' predictions were unavailable, according to ABC.
The holiday began as a German tradition in 18th century and became even more of a cultural phenomenon after the 1993 film Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray.
Punxsutawney Phil has become a celebrity in his own right. Each
year, the fatter animal with long teeth is watched by millions as he emerges from a cave in the town he is named after. Phil has become so beloved by the town that he actually lives in the local library with his “wife" Phyllis.
Taking inspiration from the hard state of Bill Murray’s character in the classic film, Yahoo contributor Owen Rust says Groundhog Day is a good time to reflect on one’s routines.
60. The underlined word “pops” means “”.
A. escapes
B. appears
C. increases
D. hides
61. The reason why Phil's predictions aren't pleasing is that_____________.
A. some of the predictions were unavailable
B. Phil wants to do that for fun
C. Phil likes to make unpleasant predictions
D. he has predicted more late springs
62. How does Punxsutawney Phil become a celebration?
A. By an accident.
B. From people's life improving.
C. By his own attractive force
D. From much money raised by the town.
63. Which does this passage mainly talk about?
A. The National Climate Data Center
B. A German tradition
C. A tongue-twisting small town
D. Groundhog Day weather forecasting
64. All of the following must be submitted EXCEPT
A. school address
B. English teacher’s name
C. phone number
D. time of birth
65. We can conclude from the passage that Teen Ink is a ．
A. research center
B. publishing house
C. magazine
D. advertising company
66. What can be learned from the passage?
A. They must ask your permission before having your work published．
B. The copyrights will be shared by Teen Ink and Pepsi．
C. They only accept your written work．
D. The Pepsi Company sponsors Teen Ink．
D
LONDON (Reuters) Ecotourism is causing a lot of damage to wildlife
and may be endangering the survival of the very animals people are flocking to see, according to researchers.
Biologists and conservationists are worried because polar bears, dolphins, penguins and other creatures are getting stressed and losing weight and some are dying.
"Evidence is growing that many animals do not react well to tourists in their backyard，” New Scientist magazine said.
The immediate effects "researchers have noticed are changes in behavior, heart rates. or stress hormone levels but they fear it could get much worse and over the long term “ could endanger the survival of the very wildlife they want to see. ”
Although money produced through ecotourism, which has been growing at about 10-30 percent a year, has major benefits for poor countries and people living in rural areas, the Swiss-based World Conservation Union (IUCN) and some governments fear not all projects are audited（审计） and based on environmentally friendly policies，according to the magazine.
Transmission of disease to wildlife，or small changes to wildlife health through disturbance of daily life or increased stress levels, while not obvious to the casual observer, may translate to lower survival and breeding，” said Philip Seddon , of the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand.
Scientists have noticed that bottleneck dolphins along the northeastern coast of New Zealand become nervously excited when tourist boats arrive. Similar changes in behavior have been observed in polar bears and yellow-eyed penguins in areas visited by colorists are producing smaller babies.
Conservationists are now calling for more research into the effect of ecotourism on animals and say the industry must be developed carefully. They also want studies done before new ecotourism projects are started.
“The animals’ welfare should be very important because without them there will be no ecotourism，” said Rochelle Constantine of the University of Auckland in New Zealand
67. Which is not discovered to have changed in animals disturbed by tourists?
A. behavior
B. birth rate
C. hormone levels
D. heart rates
68. We may learn from the text that _____.
A. ecotourism must be developed properly
B. polar bears are losing weight without enough food
C. all the poor countries have stopped ecotourism
D. money produced through ecotourism should be spent on wildlife
69. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?
A. Many animals do not react well in their backyard
B. Studies should be done before new ecotourism projects are started
C. Ecotourism has been growing at about 10—30 percent a year.
D. polar bears in areas visited by ecotourists are producing smaller babies.
70. What Rochelle Constantine said in the last paragraph implies that _____.
A. if people want to get high income, they must develop ecotourism
B. animals have rights to live their own life
C. animals are people's good friends
D. people should take good care of wildlife

Dear Seth,
You’re only three years old, and at this point in your life you can’t read, much less understand what I’m going to try to tell you in this letter. But someday, when you’re ready, I hope you will find some wisdom and value in what I share with you.
Life can be cruel
71 They’ll tease you or try to hurt you because you’re different.
There’s not much you can do except learn to deal with them, and learn to choose friends who are kind to you and who make you feel good about yourself. When you find friends like this, treasure them, spend time with them and love them.
Be open to life anyway
Yes, you’ll find cruelty and suffering in your journey through life, but don’t let that close you to new things. Don’t retreat
from life, don’t hide or wall yourself off. 72
Life isn’t a competition
You will meet many people who will try to do better than you, in school , in college, at work. To them, life is a competition.
But here’s the secret: life isn’t a competition. 73 Learn to enjoy the journey and make it a journey of happiness, of constant learning, of continual improvement, of love.
74
If there’s a single word you should live your life by, it should be this: love. It might sound corny, I know, but trust me, there’s no better rule in life.
Love not only your loved ones, but your neighbors, your co-workers, strangers, your brothers and sisters in humanity. And most of all, love yourself and learn to love yourself for who you are.
75 You are starting out on an unknown, tiring, scary, but ultimately incredibly wonderful journey, and always remember I will be there for you when I can.
Love,
Your Dad
A. Be open to new things, new experiences, new people.
B. It's a journey.
C. Life is full of love
D. Last, think that you are a wonderful human being.
E. Finally, know that I love you and always will.
F. There will be people in your life who won't be very nice.
G. Love should be your rule

VI．书面表达参考范文
After the Spring Festival, there arise some hot topics, and lucky money is included as well. To collect opinions from the public, an online survey has been made.
82% of the participants regard lucky money as one of the most important traditional customs, representing good wishes from the elderly to the new generation. Besides, lucky money is the most attractive part for children, which forms the good memory of our childhood.
The rest, however, think badly of it. For one thing, the amount is growing bigger and bigger, making it a heavy load. For another, it has been a good excuse to bribe people in power, which is bad for building a healthy and harmonious society.
Personally speaking, lucky money is nothing wrong. Only when
we know its true meaning can we send our hearty wishes to the young.。
