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
Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.
What to Expect
The host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.
Accommodation Zones
Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential. Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.
Meal Plans Available
◇Continental Breakfast
◇Breakfast and Dinner
◇Breakfast, Packed Lunch and Dinner
It’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal （谷物类食品），bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert, fruit and coffee.
Friends
If you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host’s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.
Self-Catering Accommodation in Private Homes
Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.
21. The passage is probably written for _________.
A. hosts willing to receive foreign students
B. foreigners hoping to build British culture
C. travelers planning to visit families in London
D. English learners applying to live in English homes
22. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. Zone 4 is more crowded than Zone 2.
B. The business centre of London is in Zone 1.
C. Hosts dislike travelling to the city centre.
D. Accommodation in the city centre is not provided.
23. Why do some people choose self-catering accommodation?
A. To experience a warmer family atmosphere.
B. To enrich their knowledge of English.
C. To entertain friends as they like.
D. To enjoy much more freedom.

23．D 细节理解题。

根据文章最后一段第二句中的“This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle”可知选择这种住宿方式可享受更多的自由，故选D项。

B
The days of the hunter are almost over in India. This is partly because there is practically nothing left to kill, and partly because some steps have been taken, mainly by banning tiger-shooting, to protect those animals which still survive.
Some people say that Man is naturally a hunter. I disagree with this view. Surely our earliest forefathers, who at first possessed no weapons, spent their time digging for roots, and were no doubt themselves often hunted by meat-eating animals.
I believe the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in overpowering dangerous animals. Of course, there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the important thing, and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and the beauties of the wild countryside. There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and risk death by design; these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers, even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a threat. I can respect reasons like these, but they are clearly different from the need to strengthen your high opinion of yourself.
The greatest big-game hunters expressed in their writings something of these finer motives. One of them wrote:
“You must properly respect what you are after and shoot it cleanly and on the animal’s own territory. You must fix forever in your mind all the wonders of that particular day. This is better than letting him grow a few years older to be attacked and wounded by his own son and eventually eaten, half alive, by other animals. Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killing —not if you respect the thing you kill, not if you kill to enrich your memories, not if you kill to feed your people.”
I can understand such beliefs, and can compare these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears and bravely caught them by the tail. But this is very different from many tiger-shoots I have seen, in which modern weapons were used. The so-called hunters fired from tall trees or from the backs of trained elephants. Such methods made tigers seem no more dangerous than rabbits.
24. There is no more hunting in India now partly because ________.
A. it is dangerous to hunt there
B. hunting is already out of date
C. hunters want to protect animals
D. there are few animals left to hunt
25. The author thinks modern hunters kill mainly ________.
A. to make the countryside safe
B. to earn people’s admiration
C. to gain power and influence
D. to improve their health
26. What do we learn about the big-game hunters?
A. They hunt old animals.
B. They mistreat animals.
C. They hunt for food.
D. They hunt for money.
27. What is the author’s view on the tiger-shoots he has seen?
A. Modern hunters lack the courage to hunt face-to-face.
B. Modern hunters should use more advanced weapons.
C. Modern hunters like to hunt rabbits instead of tigers.
D. Modern hunters should put their safety first.

C
An idea that started in Seattle’s public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.
In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched the “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book” project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.
In Chicago, the mayor appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the “One Book, One Chicago” program. As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.
The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity (一致）can be achieved. Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.
Ultimately, as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.
28. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?
A. To invite authors to guide readers.
B. To encourage people to read and share.
C. To involve people in community service.
D. To promote the friendship between cities.
29. Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?
A. They had little interest in reading.
B. They were too busy to read a book.
C. They came from many different backgrounds.
D. They lacked support from the local government.
30. According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?
A. In large communities with little sense of unity.
B. In large cities where libraries are far from home.
C. In medium-sized cities with a diverse population.
D. In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.
31. According to Nancy, the degree of success of the project is judged by _________.
A. the careful selection of a proper book
B. the growing popularity of the writers
C. the number of people who benefit from reading
D. the number of books that each person reads
[解题导语]本文是一篇说明文，讲的是美国人Nancy发起的“If All of Seattle Read the Same Book”这个项目的目的、发展状况以及在开展的过程中遇到的问题。

难度系数：4
28．B 细节理解题。

根据文章第二段的第一句话可知Nancy发起这个项目的目的是鼓励人们阅读并进行分享，故答案选B项。

29．C 细节理解题。

根据文章第四段的第一句可知Nancy的这个倡议在纽约很难推行是因为纽约人口众多，他们有着不同的背景，不可能就读哪一本书达成共识。

故选C项。

30．D 推理判断题。

根据文章第四段第二句中的“…the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity（一致）can be achieved”可知答案选D项。

31．C 推理判断题。

根据文章最后一段Nancy的话“不是看有多少人读同一本书，而是看有多少人在读书的过程中充实了自己”可知该项目成功的程度取决于“有多少人能从读书中获益”，故选C项。

D
Blind imitation is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable.
In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once y ou find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.
In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.
In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.
Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you
because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with all the material knocking at the door of imagination.
Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve you. Then you can say, “I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and declare victory, and know that they are cheering me on.”
32. To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should ________.
A. forget daily fear and pain
B. choose the right example
C. ask others for decisions
D. stay away from stars
33. According to the author, the world moves on because of those who are ________.
A. desperate to influence others with their knowledge
B. ready to turn their original ideas into reality
C. eager to discover what their ancestors did
D. willing to accept others’ ideas
34. The trouble a creator faces is _________.
A. the lack of strong motivation
B. the absence of practical ideas
C. how to search for more materials
D. how to use imagination creatively
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To highlight the importance of creativity.
B. To criticize the characters of role models.
C. To compare imitation with creation.
D. To explain the meaning of success.
[解题导语]本文是一篇议论文，告诉我们不要盲目模仿，要有自己的创造力。

难度系数：4
32．B 推理判断题。

根据文章第三、四段的内容可知，为了避免模仿的负面作用，我们应该选对模仿对象，学人家好的一面。

故选B项。

33．B 细节理解题。

根据文章第五段的第四句“The world is changed not by …but by those who do what has been done inside them”可推知答案选B项。

34．D 细节理解题。

根据文章第五段的最后一句“The problem a creator faces …is what do with all the material knocking at the door of imagination.”可知，一个创造者面临的问题是如何创造性地利用想象，故答案选D项。

35．A 作者意图题。

本文讲的是我们不要盲目模仿，要有自己的创造力。

故作者强调的是创造力的重要性。

故选A项。

第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Today our life and work rarely feel light or pleasant. Instead, the whole experience of being alive begins to melt into one enormous obligation (责任). 36
We say this to one another with great pride. 37 We are unavailable to our friends and family, unable to find time for the sunset, to finish off our obligations without time for a single mindful breath. This seems to have become the model of a successful life.
Because we do not rest, we lose our way. We lose the relaxation that gives us help. 38 Poisoned by the belief that good things come only through tireless effort, we never truly rest. This is not the world we dreamed of when we were young. But how did we get so terribly rushed in a world filled with work and responsibility, yet it lacks joy and delight?
39 Sunday is the time to enjoy and celebrate what is beautiful and good, time to sing songs, give thanks, and walk. It is time to be refreshed as we stop our work, our chores and our important projects.
Sunday is more than the absence of work. Many of us, in our desperate drive to be successful and care for our many responsibilities, feel terrible guilty when we take time to rest. 40 Many of us still recall when, not long ago, shops and offices were closed on Sundays. Those quiet Sunday afternoons are deep in our cultural memory.
A. We also miss the quiet that gives us wisdom.
B. All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.
C. It becomes the standard gree ting everywhere, “I am so busy.”
D. We work through day and night, feeling rather exhausted.
E. But the Sunday has proven its wisdom over the ages.
F. The reason is simple: we have forgotten the Sunday.
G. The busier we are, the more important we seem to ourselves and, we imagine, to others.
解析：
难度系数：3
36.答案：C
解析：从后面一段的第一句we say this to one another可以得知this指代的是前文C处空白。

能够填进去的就是一句可以相互说的话，C中有I am so busy，故选C。

37.答案：G
解析：前一句说我们说我们忙的时候是有巨大的骄傲的，所以37处应该体现出great pride。

G选项意为越忙就自认为越重要。

38.答案：A
解析：前一句说失去了放松能够提供的好处，我们也错过了安静能够给与的智慧。

前后能够意义上和形式上都呼应。

39.答案：F
解析：根据后文说星期天的时间是非常宝贵的，所以此处应该说我们忘了星期天。

40.答案：E
解析：后文说很多人仍然记得星期天商店关门的日子，以此证明星期天存在的必要性，就是星期天的好处。

Wisdom益处，智慧

Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is Li Hua, an exchange student from China. _____________________________
____________________________________________________________________________.
解析：
难度系数：4
本文属于难度较高的投诉信写作。

对于这中形式的写作要注意以下几点：一、开门见山。

投诉信要开门见山写明来信目的, 即投诉的具体内容, 切忌表达转弯抹角, 久久不入正题。

写作内容应依次包含开题，问题描述，提出解决方法，结尾。

二、语气恰当。

对于投诉信，语
气可以适当强硬且包含责备，但不可过于无礼。

如使用一些句型to one’s disappointment, unluckily, unfortunately, worse still, to make matters worse等符合投诉信感情色彩的副词短语,以加强语气, 使表达更加丰富。

Dear Sir or Madam，
My name is Li Hua, an exchange student from China. I’m writing to complain about th e quality of the computer which I purchased from your store on October 14, 2015.
It unexpectedly went wrong a few days after I bought it. The monitor turned out to be a black screen while I was preparing an important report. I tried to restart it according to the instructions, but it still failed to work. Therefore, I’m sure there is something wrong with the computer. I am hoping that you can direct me to a store where I may return the faulty item for a new one within the next 3 days. Since your store has gained a good reputation for customer satisfaction, I am confident you will process my complaint at your earlier convenience.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua。
