Ⅲ.阅读(共两节，满分40分)

第—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A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

There is a brown female(母的) Canadian duck that weighs only four hundred fifty grams. The duck had flown to the southern state of Florida for the winter．A hunter shot it on January fifteenth and took it to his home in the city of Tallahassee．He put it in the refrigerator(冰箱)．Two days later the man’s wife opened the refrigerator door．The duck lifted its head and looked at her．It was alive!

The family took the duck to a doctor who treats animals．The doctor gave the duck to the Goose Creek Animal Sanctuary(动物保护区)．Animal sanctuaries provide homes for animals and teach people about their care．

The doctor said it was easy to understand why people thought the duck was dead. He said ducks generally do not move a 1ot，especially after being shot．And he said its low body temperature helped it survive in the refrigerator．

That was enough to make the duck famous around the world．The Tallahassee newspaper published the story that was re-printed in many different countries．But that was not the end of the story．

Workers at the wildlife sanctuary named the duck Perky．And they got the doctor to give an operation to repair the duck’s damaged wing．During the operation，Perky stopped breathing--not just once but two times．The doctor tried to save Perky by giving her oxygen．But he finally said the duck had died．A few seconds later, however, Perky began to move．Reports say the people in the operating room were so happy that they cried.

Workers at the wildlife sanctuary say Perky will not have any more operations. It seems the drugs that were used had side-effects on her．Perky is expected to live at the sanctuary．And a local company has begun to sell T-shirts showing a picture of the lucky duck. Money from the sale of the shirts will help pay for Perky’s care．

41．Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A．Animal sanctuaries are homes specially for wounded animals． B．The hunter shot the duck in the wing． C．Ducks do not move at all for the whole winter.

D．The hunter’s wife intended to free the duck in the refrigerator．

42．The underlined Word “That” in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact that______.

A．the duck survived the shot and the cold in the refrigerator B．the hunter had saved the duck by freezing it C．the hunter shot the duck from Canada D．the Tallahassee newspaper published the story 43．The duck in the story______．

A．was big and strong

B．flew to Florida for food

C．stayed in the refrigerator to keep its body temperature low D．was considered dead before being put in the refrigerator 44．．What is the best title for the passage?

A．Save the Duck B．The Lucky Duck C．Stop Killing Ducks D．The Poor Duck 45.. It can be inferred from the passage that_______．

A．the local company will get large profits by selling the T-shirts B．it was illegal for me hunter to shoot the duck C．the duck is likely to be well cared for in the sanctuary D．Perky likes Florida better than Canada

B

Napoleon Bonaparte died on May 5, 1821, on the island of St. Helena off the coast of Africa. He was 51 years old at the time. When doctors examined Napoleon’s body, they said that the former emperor of France had died from cancer of the stomach. That was the cause of death recorded in the official report. However, other doctors disagreed. One doctor who was present during the examination of the body said that Napoleon died of hepatitis. Other historians and medical experts have suggested that Napoleon died of syphilis, tuberculosis, or perhaps malaria. Now, after careful research, a British chemist thinks that Napoleon might have been poisoned --

not by a person, but by his wallpaper.

Napoleon was sent to the island of St. Helena in 1815 after he lost the battle of Waterloo. He was a prisoner on the island. Although he had servants to attend to him, he had to live in one small building. St. Helena is a very wet island, so the walls of the building were always covered with mold. Napoleon became ill from spending too much time inside his house. Almost constantly he had a fever, chills, and felt sick to his stomach. He often felt pain in his shoulders and in his side. His skin turned yellow. He got frequent headaches, and he would become dizzy and vomit(吐). None of the medicine that the doctors gave Napoleon seemed to help. They were not sure what was the matter. Finally, Napoleon was too weak to leave the house. One night, while he was sleeping, he went into a coma and died.

Many doctors who later reviewed the reports of Napoleon’s illness found that the symptoms(症状) did not show a man who suffered from stomach cancer. It seemed obvious that Napoleon had died from some other cause. In 1961, a Swedish doctor examined some of Napoleon’s hair and found a high level of arsenic, a chemical poison. Was Napoleon murdered? It is doubtful. Arsenic was used in many types of medicine during Napoleon’s time, so he might have taken the arsenic as a cure for his illness. Then, in 1982, Dr. David Jones from England began to look into the mystery and suggested that Napoleon might have breathed in arsenic which was in the air of his house. In the 1700s and 1800s, arsenic was used to make a kind of green paint used on cloth and wallpaper. If the paint was used on a wet wall, the arsenic would go into the air. A person in the room might breathe that air. After studying the wallpaper in the room where Napoleon died, Dr. Jones found high levels of arsenic in the green paint on the walls. 46. Why did Napoleon live on St. Helena?

A. He owned the island. B. He was a prisoner there. C. His family lived there. D. He liked the island. 47. The official report said that Napoleon died of____________. A. cancer B. a coma C. mold D. poison

48. Napoleon suffered from the following symptoms except __________. A. chills B. fever C dizziness D. bleeding

49. According to Dr. Jones, how did the arsenic probably get into Napoleon’s body? A. He drank it.. B. He touched it. C. He breathed it in. D. He ate it

50. The passage says that . A. a British doctor thinks he has found the cause of Napoleon’s death B. many doctors have tried to guess the cause of Napoleon's death C. Napoleon could have died from poison

D. all of the above

C

Many years ago my student asked me the question, “Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach?” Without taking time to reflect, I answered, “Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone’s life.” Even though I was sincere, that wasn’t a very good answer and my student didn’t let it slide.

“Let me get this straight,” he said, “You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?” He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. I’m one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift.

Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach:

It’s in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. She instilled(逐渐灌输) in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors.

Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore. You can’t have ripples without a “stone.” Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that’s what I strive to do.

I genuinely love teenagers.

I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life, I want to do so. If they’ll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too.

Teaching isn’t for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice. 51. What do you think of the writer? A. Stupid.

B. Honest.

C. Conservative. D. Polite.

52. According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?

A. The writer’s mother has the greatest influence on her. B. The writer’s answer made the student confused.

C. In the writer’s opinion, some people in the world are unfit to teach. D. The writer annoyed the student who asked the question.

53. Why did the student continue to ask the question about the writer’s being a teacher? A. Because he thought her answer was unbelievable. B. Because the writer was insincere. C. Because the student was naughty.

D. Because the answer was difficult to understand. 54. What’s the main idea of the text? A. A student’s silly question. C. A confused student.

B. A good teacher who likes students.

D. The reason why I teach.

55. We can infer from the text that _________. A. the writer was also a good teacher in school

B. the writer often plays with her students beside a pond C. the writer devotes herself to teaching and her students D. the writer often accompanies the students on their way home 第二节 信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)

Lots of teenagers are trying to enter a university by coping stories and phrases from the internet to fill out their personal statements in Britain. Personal statements are used to show what can make applicants （申请）different as they outline their interests and reasons for studying a particular course. But it seems that some ideas and words are alike, even the same, thanks to an internet site designed to help those who don’t know what to write about themselves. A study found that nearly 800 applications had personal statements containing phrases taken from three online examples. The study, which involved examining 50,000 personal statements, found that 5% used the material from the internet, most from one free website. Borrowed material was most likely to appear at the end of a statement or where the applicant described the reasons for wanting to study a subject. Almost all applications are now completed online, but the new evidence of Internet temptation（诱惑）follow concern that teenagers are cutting and pasting material for A-level coursework(课程作业). A spokesman said later that he and his partners were looking for ways examine whether people appeared to be copying material. [写作内容]

英语科试卷答案

第二节：读写任务：（共25分） One possible version:

There are many teenagers in Britain coping stories and phrases from the Internet to fill out their personal statements in order to be admitted into a university, which is harmful to education. Nowadays, there are many cases of cheating in school. Some students cheat in order to get good grades or gain “success”. As we all know, when some students cheat in exam, it’s unfair to

others, like those who study hard for the exam or who are the true winners of exams. And other people will lose respect for cheaters and look down upon them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they don’t really get good grades or gain “success”. As far as I am concerned, teenagers should work hard to make preparations for all kinds of exams or challenges. Only by doing so they can be the true winners in their lives.

M: Here, there and everywhere. So, what’s up with you?

W: Well, I have a paper that must be finished for this coming Monday and I’m wondering if it’s possible to change working hours with you so I can have the weekend free to finish my paper.

M: That’s too bad. I wish I could help you. Wait a minute, I have an idea. I know Greg is looking for some part-time work. Maybe you can ask him for help.

W: Yeah, that’s right. I almost forgot about him. He mentioned once that he could do replacement work anytime. I hope he’ll help me. M: Don’t worry. I know Greg has a lot of free time. W: Great. Thanks for reminding me about Greg. M: That’s all right. Text 2

If someone offered you a million dollars to give up television for the rest of your life, would you do so? In a survey of some years ago a quarter of Americans said that they would not. Another survey asked men what they wanted most. What they wanted first in life was a television! Television is quite popular throughout the world. Today, the number of televisions worldwide is about 1.5 billion, with many more viewers. The time that many people spend on television is astonishing. Recently, a global study showed that, in general, people watch TV for just over three hours each day. North Americans watch four and a half hours daily, while the Japanese top the list at five hours each day. Those hours add up. If we watch four hours daily, by age 60 we’ll have spent ten years in front of the screen. Do people watch hours of television because they enjoy it? Not necessarily. Many believe that they spend too much time watching TV and feel guilty that they haven’t used their time more efficiently. Of course, you shouldn’t become crazy with TV; if you do, you will lose your important social and family activities. Text 4

W: No. 49. This train goes to Guangzhou, and it stops at Hangzhou. M: What time does this train leave from here?

W: It leaves at 9:45 in the morning and arrives in Hangzhou at about one o’clock in the afternoon．

M: That’s good, I’ll take this one. Could you please get me two tickets for tomorrow?

W: Sorry, sir. Please go to the Shanghai Travel Service Office in our hotel. It’s on the ground floor. They will provide tickets for you. M: Oh, I see. Thank you very much. W: You are welcome. Text 5

Everyone is afraid of something. Some people are afraid of dogs. Some people are afraid of snakes. Joe, a friend of mine, is afraid of cows. Generally people don’t like to talk about their fears because they’re afraid of being laughed at. So what am I afraid of? You’ll never get it. My secret fear is telephones. You can laugh if you like. I know that it’s hard to understand. I don’t really understand it myself. But it’s true. And for a long time my fear of telephones was like an illness. Whenever I heard a phone ring I’d be upset. I’d want to run away. Sometimes the phone would ring and ring and ring and I wouldn’t answer it. I knew I should answer it and sometimes I knew the call was important. Sometimes I’d take a deep breath and pick up the phone. Once I’d answered it, I’d be OK. I know it sounds crazy. At work I was lucky because I had an assistant to answer the phone. Why do I tell you this? I want to tell you how I fought my fear of telephones. 第二节 听取信息 Text 6
