(Text 8)

M: Did you hear that interview last night on the radio with the bungee jumper whose elastic cord broke after he jumped off a bridge?

W: No. I was too busy to listen to the radio. Was he killed?

M: It's totally incredible that he could have survived the jump. Much less to live to give an interview about it on the radio.

W: No kidding. That's horrible. I don't even know if I would want to be alive after something like that.

M: Well, this man sounded fine on the radio, but apparently he had suffered quite a bit when it happened.

W: So how did it happen?

M: He forgot to check the line before he jumped off the bridge. When he jumped there was a weak spot on the bungee cord and it just snapped into two pieces. Everybody figured he had died. When they brought him to the hospital, the doctors said he would be in a wheel chair for the rest of his life, but he proved them wrong.

W: How much time did he spend in the recuperation?

M: He spent a year in recovery while his bones healed, most of which had been shattered. As soon as he was back in shape, he went right out and tried it again.

W: Ah. Gosh, some folks are just nuts.

M: That may be tree, but you have to admit he has a good spirit.

W: Hmm. I don't know if I'd call that a good spirit or just a thick skull.

(Text 9)

W: What does it look like? Am I all right? M: Well, there is definitely one hole.

W: How did that happen? I brush my teeth three times a day.

M: Don't worry. It's not your fault. Holes are just a natural occurrence for most people. I'd like to take xrays of your mouth to see if there are others.

W: How long will that take?

M: Oh, it should just be a few minutes. We'll try and get them filled before you leave today. W: Will it hurt much?

M: No, no, don't be scared. It's not going to hurt and it will only take an hour or so. W: Well, OK, but can you put me to sleep first?

M: That's totally unnecessary. I'm telling you, it won't hurt that bad. Besides, the medication that it takes to make a person unconscious is more dangerous than the minor attention your hole will require.

W: I'll try to bear it, but I'm very scared of the pain.

M: That's natural. But I promise you. This should be very easy. And in the long run this is definitely the best thing. If you wait till later, it will just get worse.

W: All right. I suppose you know better than I do.

听下面一段独白，回答第18至第20三个小题。现在，你有15秒钟的时间阅读这三个小题。

(Text 10)

W: Did you know that there's a kind of bird that can sew? This is called the tailor bird and it uses its mouth as a needle. It sews leaves together in the shape of a cup. Then it adds a layer of straw to the inside of the cup and lays its eggs there. Each bird species builds its own special kind of nest. The most common materials used for nests are grasses, branches and feathers. A bird must weave these materials into a nest.

Another bird is called the weaver bird. The weaver bird builds a nest that looks like a basket—the nest shaped like a pear with a hole in the middle. The hole is the door of the nest. Not all birds make their homes in branches. Some birds build their nests on the ground while others bury their eggs under the ground. And some birds do not build nests at all. So when you look for nests and eggs in branches of the trees and bushes, remember that some nests may be right under your feet.

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4个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

A

Christmas dinner at Bruce Sweetser and Denali Delmar's house will come in part from their backyard garden. And this retired couple will add another locally grown delicious food to their menu.

“We started harvesting road-killed deer last year，” Bruce explained. His fridge is filled with meat harvested from deer killed in car accidents. Bruce and his wife think it is a right road toward a greener life. Their idea might best be described as locavorism (本土膳食主义). And they believe that eating local food is healthier and better for the environment.

About two years ago, the couple ran across a car accident. The only victim was a deer. And then they found an interesting list by chance.

In Massachusetts, many deer always rush to the motorway and often cause the accidents. So some Massachusetts police departments keep lists of people interested in harvesting meat if a deer isn't damaged too much after a run-in with a car. There are eight people on the Westford Police Department's official list. In addition, animal control officials also call people to harvest the meat.

But Massachusetts law requires that the driver of the car get first right to the deer. If the driver or passengers don't want to get the deer, then police can give the animal to people living in Massachusetts. In other words, they can go to the list.

Bruce and his wife weren't on the Westford list, when they came across that first deer in 2009． But now, they are, and they have harvested three deer as a result, putting the extra meat in the fridge for regular dinners and special occasions like Christmas.

答案：A 细节理解题。由第三段可知大约两年以前，这对夫妇遇上一场车祸，车祸中唯一的受害者是一头鹿，并且之后他们得知了一份有趣的单子。

24．“An interesting list” mentioned in Paragraph 3 records ________. A．the food prepared for the Christmas Day B．the steps how to cook the delicious food C．the punishment for the drivers who drive too fast D．the names of people who can harvest the deer meat

Khushi Ram, who is a 78-year-old Indian man, shares a house with 12 other family members. Khushi Ram has been married to his wife, Kassmiri for 57 years. “Although we have little money, I have never seen any problem and we are happy to feed our children with whatever we had，” she says. Kassmiri says her husband has taken whatever job he could do to support his family. She is clearly proud and grateful for this chance to tell the world how happy her family is.

I am impressed with how well the family members get on with each other. Four generations not only share one roof but one bank account. Ram Avtar, a son of Khushi Ram, works for a big company. Khushi Ram's other son runs a coffee shop. His grandson sells auto parts and second-hand cars.

I also notice there always seems to be someone watching grandpa, Khushi Ram's father Hartman, who is blind. Whether he knows it or not, there is always someone just making sure that if he ever does need help, someone will be right there. “In another country, in another life you might be on your own，” Hartman said. “If I were in a bad situation and were driven away like flies from milk, then what kind of a family would that be？”

In America, a lot of parents say the last thing they want is to be a burden on their children. Also,

a lot of children don't want to be burdened by their parents. It is too bad that we can't all see like the blind man.

The ancient Maya mastered the art of ceramic (制陶艺术) in a manner

which virtually no other culture did.

The Vase of the Seven Gods, made in the area of Naranjo, an ancient city of the Maya civilization in the present-day Petén, Guatemala, shows the fine way Maya handled clay.Like all art of Maya, this vase exhibits highly religious symbols. Furthermore, the artist's name is carved along the bottom of this piece in the form of a small white rabbit.

Ceramics also served as reminders of ancestors and gods. The Flour De Lis Vase is a fine example of this. The water lilies are not only symbols of new birth and life giving qualities, but a constant reminder of purity. On this vase, the water lilies are white, which is undoubtedly a sign of purity. The black background shows the sea, in which the lilies float.

Furthermore, ceramics served practical functions in the Maya culture. Vases, which are quite commonly seen today, were used primarily to hold liquid chocolate and cocoa. Bowls were used to hold various maize (玉米) products. Maize was seen as the imaginary body of the Maize God and the ancient Maya thought that as one ate the maize or the body of God from the bowl, they actually became God. Plates were merely used for and object.

Finally, Maya used depictions on ceramics to resurrect (复活) family members and honor gods. Because they believe that they would come back to life with their names spoken or their figures drawn, the carvings and paintings on these ceramics played a vital role in Maya spirituality.

Clearly, ceramics served a key function in ancient Maya society from dinner plates to acts of God.

文章大意：本文介绍了古老的玛雅文化，叙述了古代玛雅人高超的制陶艺术。 29．What do we know from the passage?

A．The art of ceramic of the ancient Maya was instructed by gods. B．The Vase of the Seven Gods was made by the people of Guatemala. C．The ceramic art of the ancient Maya was the best in the world at that time. D．Naranjo is a well-known city of Guatemala at present.

答案：C 细节理解题。根据第一段The ancient Maya mastered the art of ceramic in a manner which virtually no other culture did.可知，古老的玛雅文化中的制陶艺术是当时其他文化所没有的，故答案为C。

30．Which of the following is a characteristic of the art of Maya? A．Seven gods are carved on a vase. B．A vase exhibits highly religious symbols. C．The artist's name is carved on the top of a vase. D．There is a big white rabbit on a vase.

答案：B 推理判断题。根据第二段Like all art of Maya，this vase exhibits highly religious symbols.可知，像所有玛雅艺术品一样，带有七个上帝的花瓶代表着最高的宗教形象，故答案为B。

31．The ancient Maya used the Flour De Lis Vase to ________. A．remind them of their ancestors and gods B．hold water and grain or cook food C．show the importance of new birth and life D．express people's pure friendship and love

答案：A 推理判断题。根据第三段第一、二句Ceramics also served as reminders of ancestors and gods.The Flour De Lis Vase is a fine example of this.可推断，答案为A。

D

Just in time for National Popcorn Day, a new study shows that people in what's now Peru were eating the snack about 2,000 years earlier than we thought.

Coastal peoples were preparing corn-based foods up to 6,700 years ago, according to analysis of remains of the ancient corn recently discovered at the Paredones and Huaca Prieta archaeological sites on Peru's northern coast.

Previously, evidence of corn as a food about 5,000 years ago had mostly come from what are called microfossils—microscopic remains that do not offer information on the size and shape of the corncobs (玉米棒). But the new-found corn remains revealed a lot, via radiocarbon dating and other tests.

The people who lived in Paredones and Huaca Prieta probably cooked corn in several ways: Wrapping a corncob and resting it on coals, roasting a corncob directly over a flame, or cooking a corncob in an earthen oven. In this culture, corn was a delicious food or a minor supplement to the diet—archaeological evidence shows they did not eat it in large amounts.

Corn was first grown in Mexico about 9,000 years ago from a wild grass called teosinte, according to Piperno, whose research has been published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. A few thousand years later, corn was brought to South America, where farmers bred the plant crop into hundreds of varieties.

Indeed, what surprised Piperno most about the new research was the diversity of corn—from corncob shapes to kernel (玉米粒)colors discovered in the new-found remains. “Farmers like to experiment and grow cool things，” she said.

文章大意：一项新的考古研究发现人类在距今约6700年前已开始食用玉米。 32．What would be the best title for the passage?

A．Ancient popcorn was made 2,000 years earlier than thought in Peru. B．A new discovery revealed the mystery about corn. C．How was corn cooked in ancient Peru and South America? D．National Popcorn Day and the new-found corn remains in Peru.

答案：A 主旨大意题。文章第一段提出了全文的主旨“a new study says that people in what's now Peru were eating the snack 2, 000 years earlier than we thought”并在后文具体说明了的这一

发现。

33．From the passage we can learn that microfossils of corn ________. A．showed that people began cooking corn about 5,000 years ago B．offered detailed information on the size of the ancient corncobs C．showed the specific shape of the ancient corncobs D．were analyzed by scientists via radiocarbon dating

答案：A 细节理解题。根据第三段“Previously, evidence of corn as a food about 5,000 years ago had mostly come from what are called microfossils...”可知，玉米微化石显示人们在大约5000年已开始以玉米为食物。

34．What can we know about the new-found corn remains?

A．They revealed people in Paredones and Huaca Prieta never roasted a corncob directly over a flame.

B．They revealed people in Paredones and Huaca Priota lived mainly on corn-based foods. C．They showed us how ancient farmers bred corn from a wild grass. D．They offered more information on ancient corn than microfossils of corn.

答案：D 推理判断题。根据第三段“...microscopic remains that do not offer information on the size and shape of the corncobs. But the new-found corn remains revealed a lot...”可知新发现的玉米遗迹能够比玉米微化石提供更多的关于古代玉米的信息。

35．What can we know from the last paragraph?

A．Remains of ancient corn were found in different places of the world. B．Various kinds of corn were discovered in the new-found corn remains.

C．Ancient corncob shapes and kernel colors are quite different from those of today. D．Piperno likes to experiment and grow cool things.

答案：B 推理判断题。根据最后一段“what surprised Piperno most about the new research was the diversity of corn—from corncob shapes to kernel colors discovered in the new-found remains”可知B项正确。
