Ⅱ.阅读(共两节，满分50分)

第一节 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

A

Everyone says that Houstonian Trevor Lang is a healthy 8-year-old boy.But to get a sense of

what’s really going on inside his brain－and his stomach－11 News gave his mother，Robin Lang，a small video camera so she could capture (捕捉) some of his world. Trevor’s world is all about food.

“You have to learn how to control it and watch what you’re giving him to eat，” his mother said.Trevor has Prader Willi Syndrome (PWS)．His brain kept sending messages to his stomach telling it he’s hungry.

“With PWS，the drive to eat is so powerful，like that to take drugs，” said Dr.Ann Scheimann. At least twice a year，Dr.Scheimann visits Houston and Texas Children’s Hospital，so she can check up on the nearly 120 Prader Willi patients there.Those patients，like Trevor，need an army of understanding relatives and friends to keep them away from food.

The Langs have a very special lifestyle.They only eat at certain times during the day，and they count calories.If you visit their homes，you’ll quickly notice their refrigerator is locked up.The pantry (食品储藏室) is locked up，too.And Trevor’s mother puts the keys with several bogus (假的) keys together，making it difficult for him to find which keys fit the locks.

Sometimes Trevor gets what he wants from strangers or neighbours.“Trevor knows that he shouldn’t go and get things and he apologizes if he gets something.I tell him it’s OK.We just try and move on to the next hour，” Robin Lang said.

There is a lot of information online about PWS at sites like fpwr.org and pwsausa.org.“A lot of medicines have been tried and unfortunately up to now there hasn’t been success.They have also tried surgeries (外科手术) and it doesn’t seem to work，” Scheimann said.

【解题导语】 Houstonian Trevor Lang患有一种稀奇的病，总是想吃东西。为此，他父母采取了各种措施限制他的饮食。

26．Robin Lang was given a camera to ________. A．be a reward

B．encourage her son

C．record her son’s daily life D．capture her families’ world

解析：选C。由第一段最后一句话可知，11 News给Houstonian Trevor Lang的母亲一个照相机是为了让她捕捉Trevor的生活。 27．Children with PWS ________. A．can learn to control themselves

B．should eat more food to meet their needs C．have to live in hospital

D．need quite a few people to help them

解析：选D。细节理解题。根据文章第五段最后一句：“Those patients，like Trevor，need an army of understanding relatives and friends to keep them away from food”可知，这种病人需要很多人来帮助。

28．The Langs’ refrigerator is locked up to ________. A．keep it safe

B．prevent Trevor from making trouble C．play an interesting game D．keep Trevor away from food

解析：选D。细节理解题。由倒数第三段最后一句可知，Trevor的病使他不停地想吃东西，所以他们家的冰箱被锁上是因为他父母要控制他的饮食。 29．According to the passage，Trevor ________. A．understands what his parents do B．is a boy of few words

C．always follows his parents’ advice D．gets angry very easily

解析：选A。推理判断题。从文章倒数第二段可知，Trevor是个懂事的孩子，尽管有时会从陌生人或邻居那里得到东西吃，但是自己知道这是不应该的，还会因此道歉，这说明他很理解父母的做法。

30．What can we infer about Trevor? A．He will give up his favourite food. B．It’ll be hard for him to get well.

C．He’ll help patients with PWS as a volunteer.

D．The website pwsausa.org will help him live a normal life.

解析：选B。推理判断题。根据文章最后一段，Trevor患的这种病目前还不能被治好，所以他的康复是很困难的。

B

Carol Amore has a mission (使命)．“That is to find and help to save tigers.” Amore says.She found that the best way to do that was to learn more about the tigers’ lives and their habitat.So she traveled to India to spend three months filming in the Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve，a protected place that is home to about 30 or 40 Bengal tigers.The movie she made about her experience is called Tigers：Tracking a Legend.

To help people to understand the plight (困境) of tigers，Amore has also helped to create an exhibition at the South Street Seaport，in New York City，called TIGERS. Tigers in Trouble

In 1998，between 5,000 and 7,000 tigers wandered on the Earth.Today，the World Wildlife Fund estimates (估计) that the tiger population has hit an all-time low of 3,200.

In India，local forest guards and special guides，called mahavats，helped Amore with her work.Mahavats ride through the forest on the backs of Asian elephants as they track the tiger.They also serve to protect tigers from poachers，who hunt the animals illegally.Poachers kill tigers for their fur，organs and other body parts：Tiger bones are used as an ingredient in Chinese medicine. Learning About Tigers

The tiger exhibition teaches visitors how to use smell，sight，hearing and touch to enter the world of the tiger.

According to Jenny Campbell，an educator and guide at the South Street Seaport tiger exhibition，people of all ages have enjoyed the show.“By journeying into the world of this family of tigers，you care more about them，” she said.For Carol Amore，this means her_mission_has_been_achieved.To learn more about TIGERS The Exhibition：Tracking a Legend，visit tigersnyc.com.

33．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A．The present number of tigers living on the Earth. B．What mahavats did to help Carol Amore.

C．The reason why Asian elephants are dying out. D．The reason why people hunt tigers.

解析：选C。细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句：目前老虎的数量约有3200只；根据第四段前两句可知Mahavats帮助Amore追踪老虎；根据第四段倒数两句可知非法狩猎者杀害老虎的原因；故A、B、D三项符合文意，但文中没有提到亚洲象将要灭绝，故选C。 34．The underlined part “her mission has been achieved”means “________”． A．Amore has helped to create the exhibition B．Amore has stopped hunters from killing tigers C．Amore has made people care more about tigers

D．Amore has helped people to enter the family of tigers

解析：选C。句意理解题。文章第一段第二句说Amore的使命是发现并帮助拯救老虎，为此她付诸于行动；第二段提到她举办了一次名叫TIGERS的展览；倒数两段提到该展览教人们如何进入老虎的世界，让人们更多地了解老虎，结果人们很喜欢这些展示，也更加关心老虎，而这一点也正是Carol Amore所希望的，即她的使命已经完成，故选C。 35．What would be the best title for the passage? A．Carol Amore

One million books will be given away free in the UK and Ireland on 5 March for the opening of World Book Night.

Some 20,000 volunteers will hand out 48 copies each of their favourite book from a 25-strong

list.A further 40,000 will be sent by organisers.Would-be volunteers apply (申请) through the

event’s website，choosing a book from the list which features Alan Bennett，John Le Carre and

Margaret Atwood.

Fellow patron (资助人) Antony Gormley said，“When the joy of giving and receiving is added to the fruit of the imagination，something big，lovely and generous can happen.A book allows us to hold the experience of another in our hands and absorb (吸收)it in our minds.And this clever idea enables this to happen in ever-widening and deepening circles of considered and connected life.”

World Book Night chairman Jamie Byng said，“Having one million books given to one million different people on one night in this way is first of its kind and greatly exciting.” Volunteers have to apply to become a book-giver before 4 January.The 20,000 people selected will

be invited to take part in parties and celebrations on World Book Night，which is being supported by BBC Two.

The BBC’s arts editor Will Gompertz said in his blog that the plan had not been universally welcomed.“Some booksellers are afraid that the big publishers are giving away the very product they are struggling (努力) to sell，” he said.

Books on the list include Atwood’s The Blind Assassin，Bennett’s A Life Like Other People’s，Nigel Slater’s Toast，The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon，and

Yann Martel’s Booker Prize-winning Life of Pi.

【解题导语】 世界图书之夜将于3月5日在英国和爱尔兰举办，届时将有100万本精美图书赠送给100万名读者。

36．How will World Book Night be celebrated? A．One million books will be given away free. B．20,000 volunteers will be given awards. C．40,000 publishers will take part in the party. D．Thousands of famous writers will be invited.

解析：选A。细节理解题。世界图书之夜将于3月5日在英国和爱尔兰举办，届时将有100万本精美图书赠送给100万名读者。这也是本文的主题，其它选项无依据。 37．How many books will be given away by the volunteers? A．20,000. B．40,000. C．960,000. D．1,000,000. 解析：选C。推理判断题。根据第二段的“Some 20,000 volunteers will hand out 48 copies each of their favourite book from a 25-strong list”可知，大约两万名志愿者将每人捐赠48本图书，

故来自志愿者的图书应该是96万本。

38．What are some booksellers worried about? A．The publishers won’t go to the party. B．The publishers won’t give away books.

C．Giving the books away will not be welcomed. D．Giving the books away will affect their sales. 解析：选D。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Some booksellers are afraid that the big publishers are giving away the very product they are struggling (努力) to sell...”可知，图书商担心的是出版商会提供一些他们正在卖的书，从而影响到他们的销售。 39．What can be inferred from the passage?

A．Such an activity has never been held in the past. B．Volunteers can give away whatever books they like. C．Each person can get more than one book on the night. D．The organisers will get much money from the activity.

解析：选A。推理判断题。根据第四段Jamie Byng的讲话“Having one million books given to one million different people on one night in this way is first of its kind and greatly exciting”，可以判断类似这样的活动是以前没有发生过的。

40．Where can you most probably read this passage? A．In a children’s book. B．In the latest news. C．In a health magazine.

D．In a scientist’s diary.

解析：选B。文章出处题。本文是一则关于世界图书之夜的新闻报道，故B为正确答案。

D

People who do not get enough vitamin A in their diet may develop night blindness.But in the developing world a lack (缺乏) of vitamin A causes much more serious harm to children.According to the WHO，as many as 25,000 children die every year because of a lack of vitamin A.

One excellent source of vitamin A is found in sweet potatoes with orange flesh (果肉)．Orange sweet potatoes contain high levels of beta-carotene (β-胡萝卜素)，which the body changes into vitamin A．Experts say orange sweet potatoes specially produced because of growing conditions in Africa could help solve the lack of vitamin A there. But，first，more people will need to be persuaded to eat them.Jan Low says the sweet potato needs a better image in Africa.“We do have an image problem with the sweet potato in general in Africa.” Ms.Low explains that sweet potatoes are mainly grown by poor women to feed their families in case (以防万一) another crop fails，so it is seen as a crop of the poor.

Jan Low took part in a project to study how to market (推销) orange sweet potatoes to Africans.The project included radio messages about the benefits of the orange sweet potato.They advertised its ability to “fight diseases，make you strong，clear your skin and make you look healthy.” In areas without radio，they spread the message through theater.The performances included singing，dancing and storytelling.

And everywhere they went，they wore orange T-shirts and hats.They even drove orange

vehicles.Jan Low says the color of the orange sweet potato made it easier to gain public attention. Dan Gustafson heads the Washington office of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization.He says most of these efforts in the past failed because organizers did not consider what people wanted to eat.But Mr.Gustafson sees a better chance for the efforts to increase the popularity of the orange sweet potato in Africa.“It is because you have got advertising that I think will work.”

【解题导语】 在非洲，富含维生素A的有橙色果肉的红薯被人们看作是穷人的食物，一些组织正积极努力地改变人们的这种看法。 41．The first two paragraphs tell us that ________.

A．People can’t see well at night without eating sweet potatoes B．Lack of sweet potatoes leads to many child deaths in Africa

C．African orange sweet potatoes are different from those in other places D．Orange sweet potatoes are rich in vitamin A 解析：选C。推理判断题。根据文章第二段“orange sweet potatoes specially produced because of growing conditions in Africa”可推测，由于非洲特殊的生长环境，有橙色果肉的红薯在那里也会生长得与其他地方不一样，故选C项。

42．Africans usually think that sweet potatoes ________. A．are food for poor people

B．don’t look beautiful in appearance C．are the main food for women D．can’t grow well in Africa 解析：选A。推理判断题。结合第三段“sweet potatoes are mainly grown by poor women to feed their families in case (以防万一) another crop fails，so it is seen as a crop of the poor”可知，在非洲，红薯在人们的印象中是在别的庄稼歉收的时候的替代物，因此它被看作是一种穷人才吃的东西。

43．Jan Low advertised orange sweet potatoes’ abilities of the following EXCEPT ________. A．cleaning the skin B．helping fight illnesses

C．curing some serious diseases

D．making people strong and healthy

解析：选C。细节理解题。由第四段第三句They advertised its ability to“fight diseases，make

you strong，clear your skin and make you look healthy.”可知，Jan Low为红薯作的广告中不包括“治愈疾病”，故选C。

44．How did Jan Low market orange sweet potatoes in Africa? A．She sold them in the market herself.

B．She spread the benefits of them by performing in some areas. C．She sent messages to the local people by mobile phones. D．She put an advertisement for them on TV.

解析：选B。细节理解题。从第四段的“The performances included singing，dancing and storytelling”可知，她在没有收音机的地方，会通过演出，比如唱歌、跳舞等来传播红薯的好处，故选B项。

45．The text is mainly about ________. A．A better yet cheaper source of vitamin A

B．The difficulty in changing the way people think C．The importance of vitamin A for our body D．An image problem for the orange sweet potato

解析：选D。主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了在非洲，因为缺乏维生素A，给人们尤其是儿童造成很大的伤害，而富含维生素A的有橙色果肉的红薯却在非洲有着坏的形象，人们往往认为这是穷人的食物而不愿意吃它。一些组织积极努力地改变人们的这种看法，故D项符合主题。

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

China may raise the retirement age in order to deal with the financial burden (负担) caused by a rapidly ageing society.

“We will put forward a suggestion on raising the retirement age by the end of this year.” said one

of the officials from China’s social security fund (社保部)，which is in charge of paying out pensions (养老金)．He said there was 800 billion yuan in the red last year.Many developed countries face similar problems and several have suggested increasing the retirement age so as to decrease the burden.So maybe it is good for China to do the same.

However，some officials warn that raising the retirement age could add to the unemployment situation.They say that although the legal retirement age in China is 60 for men and 55 for most women，many employees of state-owned companies have been allowed to retire in their 40s or 50s to make openings for new graduates and others. 【写作内容】

________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ One possible version：

It is said that China may raise the retirement age so as to decrease the financial burden from a rapidly ageing society，which is opposed by some officials.

As far as I am concerned，it is not a good idea to raise the retirement age in China.On the one hand，many young graduates can’t find positions since the unemployment situation has become so serious nowadays in our country.On the other hand，if people can retire at the scheduled age，they can spend more time with their families and friends，which means they can enjoy the rest of their lives fully.I think the government is able to think of other ways to increase income and solve the problem of financial loss rather than raise the retirement age! The fewer jobs are afforded，the more young people will become job-waiting youth.Please give young people more chances to

work!
