第四部分：阅读理解:（第一节15小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

答题卷上将该项涂黑。

A

One day in spring four men were riding on horseback along a country road. These men were lawyers, and they were going to the next town to attend court.

There had been a rain, and the ground was very soft. Water was dripping from the trees, and the grass was wet. The four lawyers rode along, one behind another, for the pathway was narrow, and the mud on each side of it was deep. They rode slowly, and talked and laughed and were very cheerful. As they were passing through a group of small trees, they heard a great fluttering（振抖）over their heads and a weak sound made by small birds in the grass by the roadside.

“Stith! Stith! Stith!” came from the leafy branches above them. “Cheep! cheep! cheep!” came from the wet grass.

“What is the matter here?” asked the first lawyer, whose name was Speed. “Oh, it’s only some old robins(知更鸟)!”said the second lawyer, whose name was Hardin. “The storm has blown two of the little ones out of the nest. They are too young to fly, and the mother bird is worried about them.”

“What a pity! They’ll die down there in the grass,” said the third lawyer.

“Oh, well! They’re nothing but birds,” said Mr. Hardin. “Why should we bother?” “Yes, why should we?” said Mr. Speed.

The three men, as they passed, looked down and saw the little birds fluttering in the cold, wet grass. They saw the mother robin flying about, and crying to her mate. Then they rode on, talking and laughing as before. In a few minutes they had forgotten about the birds. But the fourth lawyer, whose name was Abraham Lincoln, stopped. He got down from his horse and very gently took the little ones up in his big warm hands. They did not seem

frightened, but cried softly, as if they knew they were safe.

“Never mind, my little fellows,” said Mr. Lincoln “I will put you in your own cozy little bed.”

Then he looked up to find the nest from which they had fallen. It was high, much higher than he could reach.

But Mr. Lincoln could climb. He had climbed many a tree when he was a boy. He put the birds softly, one by one, into their warm little home. Two other baby birds were there that had not fallen out. All cuddled（依偎）down together and were very happy.

Soon the three lawyers who had ridden ahead stopped at a spring to give their horses water.

“Where is Lincoln?” asked one.

All were surprised to find that he was not with them.

“Do you remember those birds?” said Mr. Speed. “Very likely he has stopped to take care of them.”

In a few minutes Mr. Lincoln joined them. His shoes were covered with mud; he had torn his coat on the thorny tree.

“Hello, Abraham!” said Mr. Hardin. “Where have you been?”

“I stopped a minute to give those birds to their mother,” he answered.

“Well, we always thought you were a hero,” said Mr. Speed. “Now we know it.”

Then all three of them laughed heartily. They thought it so foolish that a strong man should take so much trouble just for some worthless young birds.

“Gentlemen,” said Mr. Lincoln, “I could not have slept tonight, if I had left those helpless little robins to die in the wet grass.”

Abraham Lincoln afterwards became very famous as a lawyer and statesman. He was elected president. Next to Washington he was the greatest. 56. The reading passage is a story mainly about______.

A. four lawyers B. wildlife in danger C. some little birds D. Abraham Lincoln

57. We know from the passage that the little birds in the grass were ________. A. frightened B. disappointed C. injured D. bored 58. It can be inferred that “stith” was the sound made by ________. A. the blowing wind B. the little birds out of the nest C. the mother bird D. the little birds in the nest 59. Why didn’t the other three lawyers help the little birds in the grass? A. Because they were in a hurry to attend court. B. Because they didn’t think it worthwhile.

C. Because it would put them to much trouble. D. Because they had forgotten about the birds. 60. What can we learn form the passage?

A. The habitat of wild life is being endangered. B. Environmental protection is still a challenge.

C. Birds care more about their fellows than man. D. Abraham Lincoln was a kind-hearted great man.

B.

Book reports and book reviews are similar. Book reports tend to be a little more descriptive (What is this book about?) and book reviews are usually more persuasive (Why a reader should or shouldn’t read this book?). They are both a way to think more deeply about a book you’ve read and to present your understanding.

Most teachers have their own requirements they expect you to meet, so be sure to check, but the following general elements(要素) of a book report should be helpful. Introduction

Here you want to provide basic information about the book, and a sense of what your report will be about. You should include:

Title /Author

Publication Information: publisher, year, number of pages Writing style

A brief introduction to the book and the report. Body

There are two main sections for this part. The first is an explanation of what the book is about. The second is your opinions about the book and how successful it is. There are some differences between reports on fiction or other imaginative writing and reports on non-fiction books. But for both, a good place to start is to explain the author’s purpose and/or the main themes of the book. Then you can summarize. For fiction or other creative writing:

Provide brief descriptions of the setting, the point of view, the leading character, and other major characters. If there is an obvious mood or tone, discuss that as well. Give a brief plot summary. Along with the order of major events, you may want to discuss the book’s climax(高潮) . For non-fiction:

Provide a general overview of the author’s topic, main points, and argument. What is the argument? What are the important conclusions?

Don’t try to summarize each chapter. Choose the ones that are most important and interesting to you. Analysis and comment

In this second section you analyze the book. You can write about your own opinions; just be sure that you explain and support them with examples. Some questions you might want to consider: Did the author achieve his or her purpose? Is the writing effective, powerful or beautiful? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the book? For non-fiction, do you agree with the author’s arguments and conclusions? What is your general response to the book? Did you find it interesting, moving or dull? Would you recommend it to others? Why or why not? Conclusion

Briefly conclude by pulling your thoughts together. You may want to say what impression the book left you with, or emphasize(强调)what you want your reader to know about it.

61. According to the passage, how many parts is a book report supposed to cover? A. 3 B.4 C. 5 D.6 62. What can we infer from Paragraph 1?

A. Book reports tell us what the book is about. B. Book reviews focus far more on opinions.

C. Book reviews and book reports differ greatly. D. Book reports have strict requirements to meet.

63. For the body part, you’re expected to include________. A. the writing style of the book B. the publication information of the book C. your views towards the book D. an explanation of the title of the book

64. For a book report on non-fiction, it’s not advised to ______. A. explain the author’s purpose of writing B. summarize every chapter in full length

C. provide the conclusions that are of importance D. give a general description of the writer’s topic

65. Which can be the title for the passage? A. How to Comment on a Book B. How to Write a Book Report C. What is a Book Report About D. What makes a Book Review C

Pollution’s great effects on the environment have become more obvious in recent years, resulting in a movement to make best use of energy, depend less on fossil (化石) fuels, and to cut down air and water pollution. Most scientists agree that such changes are necessary to protect our environment from further harm.

The construction industry uses up a large quantity of energy and resources and creates a huge amount of pollution. In the United States, building takes up 39% of the country's total energy use, 12% of total water use, 68% of total electricity use, and 38% of carbon dioxide emissions (二氧化碳排放), according to the Environment Protection Agency.

Green buildings use less energy, water, create less waste, and are healthier to live, work, or go to school in than standard buildings. Green buildings use resources more properly during the entire building cycle than traditional building. The environmental benefits of building green include the protection of ecosystems(生态系统), improved air and water quality, less waste flowing into streams, and the protection of natural resources. Green buildings can also result in lower operating costs because they use less energy and materials and improve indoor air quality, which improves the health of those who live in such buildings.

The process of building green includes technical and aesthetic (美学的)planning with nature protection in mind. Building designs often mirror the surrounding environment and natural resources and use building materials that can be reused. In addition, recycled resources that are found locally are used for green buildings, diminishing the cost and air pollution related with transporting materials over long distances. Careful selection of the building place is important to reduce human effect on the surrounding environment. For example, placing a structure in an area that allows it to take advantage of cool wind and sunlight can reduce energy use and expenses. More energy and expense are needed for larger buildings as well, so it is important to build small. Besides, green roofs can be built to reduce

energy use and cost. These roofs are partly or completely covered with vegetation, which helps reduce heating and cooling costs, prevent storm-water runoff, and so on. Other advantages of green buildings often include energy and water saving, recycling, and waste reduction. What’s more, energy sources such as solar power and wind power are used for heat and electricity, which reduces costs and the effect on the environment. 66. From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that_________. A. human effect on the environment can’t be reduced B. the movement against pollution has a good result C. the construction industry is to blame for pollution D. air pollution has become a major concern for people 67. Paragraph 3 is mainly about the _________. A. ways of building green B. benefits of building green C. costs of building green D. effect on green building 68. The writer develops the last paragraph mainly by ____________. A. giving examples B. listing numbers C. making comparison D. telling stories

69. The underlined word “diminishing” in the passage can possibly mean _________ A. covering B. reducing C. changing D. making 70. What is the writing purpose of the passage?

A. To present arguments about green building. B. To show different styles of green building.

C. To introduce the effects that pollution causes. D. To encourage the application of green building.

第二节：下面文章中有5个段落需要添加首句（第71-75题）。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出适合各段落的首句，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。 任务型阅读

A. Place trust in your child. B. Try to be friends with your kids. C. Develop a plan for the first day of school. D. Encourage your child to think of solutions. E. Change your child’s bedtime in advance.

F. Tell stories of your own school experiences.

Is your child worried about starting school, saying she doesn’t want to go, and ignoring your efforts to calm her fears? As the beginning of the school year approaches, Tina Feigal has suggestions for smoothing your child’s way to a new school year.

“The most helpful thing you can do is to let your child know that you are comfortable with the start of the school year, you think of it as routine(常规), and you are there for him as he makes the changes. If you think of it as a challenge, so will your child.” says Feigal. 71. ____________. Too many children start the school year tired because they change their summer “staying-up-late” schedule to “early rising” the day before school starts. Instead, start a routine of 8 p.m. bedtime and 7 a.m. rising two weeks ahead of time. Even thought it is still light out at 8, kids need their sleep so badly that it’s in their best interests to do this so

that they are ready for the challenges of a new school year. This is very important particularly when the child is changing schools.

72. ____________. You may even want to set out clothes and backpacks to practise for the school morning, so that kids can predict exactly how it will go. This will reduce anxiety for everyone, including parents. Being able to get used to your routine to fit your needs when there is no time stress is a perfect way to get off on the right foot.

73. ____________. If your son has repeated a fear to you several times in the past week, encourage him with truths such as, “The teacher will like you. Don’t worry about that.” or “You will know how to find your bus. The monitor will help you.” or “Of course you are smart enough to go to fourth grade!” Often the child gets little real comfort from this type of statement. If he has a large amount of fear, his mind will go immediately to an argument for almost anything you say. Instead, ask “How do you think the teacher will get to know you?” “How do you think kids find their buses on the first day?” “How do you think the work in fourth grade compares to the work in third grade?” This way the child learns to think, rather than just fall into fear. And when he comes up with his own thoughts about the fearful situation, he can accept them better - no need to argue!

74. ___________ .When driving in the car or at bedtime, say, “I was just thinking of all the ways I trust you. You are so good with your little sister, and I am so proud of that. You play with the dog so nicely, and you are such a good master to her. You can tell she trusts you, too. I can trust you to respond when I call you in from outside. You are just a reliable person!” This plants the seed for self-trust in your child, which is the key to getting used to the new school year. No need to talk directly about school. Planting the message of trust is enough. 75. ___________. As adults we often forget to share our childhood tales with our own kids. They think we can’t understand them, because we are big and they are little. It’s so helpful to remind our children that we were kids once, too. It increases their trust in us that we have experience, and that we have overcome difficulties. So share the stories of your success with challenging situations, so kids realize they are not the only ones who face these things. A sense of same experience with one’s parents is a wonderful family-builder!
