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。
A
Emily and Zach are confused! Their parents told them they could choose between Massachusetts and Arizona for their vacation this summer.
Emily has always wanted to visit Boston, the capital of Massachusetts. Zach and she both agree that walking along the Freedom Trail would enable them to see Boston's most famous places of historic interest, like the site of the school Ben Franklin attended and the Old State House. If Emily and Zach went to Massachusetts, they could spend a few days at the beaches on Cape Cod. Emily loves body boarding, and Zach is great at body surfing. They both enjoy building sandcastles with their mom and dad.
Zach finds learning about Native Americans wonderful and has always wanted to travel along the Apache Trail in Arizona. This mountain highway passes Native American ruins in Tonto National Forest. Emily is not as interested in traveling along this trail as Zach, but they both would like to visit Phoenix, the capital, and then travel to Grand Canyon National Park and Meteor Crater (陨石坑). Zach learned in science class that Meteor Crater is a hole over 4,000 feet wide and 520 feet deep that was created when a huge object from space fell to Earth. The object went so deep that it has never been found. Zach would really like to try to discover it. But Emily thinks if experienced scientists and researchers cannot find it, Zach might as well not even bother to try.
The only drawback for Zach and Emily if they choose Arizona would be the heat. It is very hot and dry in this southwestern state. Massachusetts, on the other hand, is in the northeastern United States. Here Zach and Emily and their parents could enjoy mild (温和的) temperatures. Their parents love hot weather, but Zach and Emily do not really like to sweat.
How will they ever decide to which state they should travel? If only they could take two trips!
21. Emily and Zach will spend their summer vacation _____. A. visiting their parents B. learning how to swim C. doing some sightseeing D. living with Native Americans
22. Compared to Emily, Zach is more interested in _____. A. design B. sports C. beaches D. history
23. The underlined word “drawback” in Paragraph 4 means _____. A. value B. reason C. interest D. disadvantage 24. What would be the best title for the text? A. A difficult choice B. An interesting plan C. An unforgettable trip D. A personal experience
B
In the U.S., speaking more than one language fluently is not very common — except in Los Angeles, California. The city has one of the largest populations in the U.S. of young people between the ages of 18 and 34. More than half of them in Los Angeles are bilingual (会说两种语言的).
Maria Elena Burgos, a mother of two American-born daughters, is cooking a Mexican breakfast. She says making Mexican food is just one of the many traditions in her home. Another is speaking Spanish to her children. “We want to keep Spanish somewhere in their learning too, not only at home.” Ms. Burgos thinks being bilingual will give them more opportunities in the future. Knowing Spanish also means the children can talk with their relatives in Mexico.
Ms. Burgos' daughters both want to know their family's culture. “We are doing this in order to go back to our roots because that's part of who we are,” they say. The U.S. Census Bureau (人口普查局) says more than half the adults in the Los Angeles area between 18 and 34 years old speak a language other than English at home. For the whole country, the number of bilingual adults is only 25 percent. The number of bilingual speakers has gone up since the 1990s.
University of California Los Angeles professor Raul Hinojosa says that in the past, the children and grandchildren of immigrants (移民) did not continue to speak the parents' native language. But now the opposite is true.
In the last ten years, more immigrant parents say they want their children to keep speaking their native language. Mr. Hinojosa calls their choice the “path of pride”. The decision to keep a native language is clear in Los Angeles now. And, as the number of minorities (少数民族) in the U.S. continues to grow, he thinks bilingualism will spread to the rest of the country. 25. Ms. Burgos hopes her two daughters can _____. A. have a healthy diet B. become true Americans C. develop many good habits D. have a competitive advantage
26. What's the attitude of Ms. Burgos' daughters towards speaking Spanish? A. Bored. B. Worried. C. Interested. D. Surprised.
27. From the last three paragraphs, we can learn that more people in the U.S. _____. A. are proud of their new country B. speak English very fluently C. are learning a second language
D. are forgetting their parents' native language 28. Mr. Hinojosa is sure that _____. A. more people will immigrate to the U.S. B. the U.S. is on the path to bilingualism
C. the population of Los Angeles will drop D. more minorities will be accepted by the U.S.
C
Valerie Jarrett, 58, is serving as a top adviser to President Obama and has been close to the first family since the early 1990s. Joe Heim from Washington Post had an interview with her.
Joe Heim:What do you think of a reporter who interviews you for 25 minutes, then later finds out his recorder stopped working and asks you to do the interview again? Valerie Jarrett: That he's human. You could have just tried to pretend (假装) that it didn't happen.
Joe Heim:You're considered the president's closest adviser. Have you ever given him bad advice since he became president?
Valerie Jarrett: I'm sure that I have. I think one of the reasons why the president's management style is very effective (有效的) is because all of his advisers feel very comfortable being open about their advice. Finally, there's only one decision-maker. And that's the president.
Joe Heim: What misunderstandings are there of you?
Valerie Jarrett:A little-known fact is that I started my life very shy and remained very shy well into adulthood. Painfully shy, I would call it. And I often share this, particularly with young people, because it's something I really had to work hard to overcome (克服). And for all the shy people out there I say, you, too, can overcome it. But it took a lot of hard work on my part, and I discovered along the way that just because you're nervous and you have butterflies in your stomach doesn't mean that it has to show. My point in sharing it with you is that part of life is pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone (舒适区). And if you're going to grow, you have to learn how to take on new challenges (挑战) that you might not be good at. Joe Heim: Will you stay until the end of his term?
Valerie Jarrett:I serve at the pleasure of the president. If he wants me to stay, I will. 29. From the underlined words “That he's human”, we can learn Valerie Jarrett is _____.
A. warm-hearted B. broad-minded C. well-educated D. strong-willed
30. Valerie Jarrett may think the role of an adviser is to _____. A. avoid giving bad advice B. get along with other advisers C. share his or her advice openly D. support the decision-maker firmly
31. Why does Valerie Jarrett share her shyness? A. To show her hard way to success. B. To prove shy people can also be great. C. To show it is easy to overcome shyness. D. To ask people to face challenges bravely.
32. In which part of a newspaper could we find this text? A. People. B. Society. C. World. D. Culture.
D
In February 1807, President Jefferson organized an expedition (远征) for the American Philosophical Society (APS). The members of the Society were especially interested in the bones and long teeth that had been found along the Ohio River valley for more than 100 years.
The French and British explorers who had first discovered these bones had sent most of them back to their countries. Many believed they were from a mammoth (猛犸象), similar to the frozen animal bones found in Siberia. But the teeth of the mammoth found in the Ohio River valley were different from those of the mammoth found overseas. The scientists of the Society knew they had to find more of these mysterious bones.
As president of the Society, Thomas Jefferson hired (雇用) William Clark to carry out this new search. Four years earlier, Jefferson had chosen Clark and Meriwether Lewis to survey the vast, unknown lands west of the Mississippi River to
