第二部分 閱讀理解(共兩節(jié)，滿分40分)
第一節(jié)(共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分)
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項。
A
Don’t drive your kids to school.Let them ride a bike to school.
In England 8.3 million children travel to school every day.It is reported that only a small number of pupils cycle to school (under 2%)，although one in three children would actually like to.
Experts say that to stay healthy，children need at least one hour of moderate exercise every day.But only six out of ten boys and four out of ten girls get that.One of the reasons is that parents have developed a habit of driving their children to school when they could just walk or ride a bike to school.
Teachers often say that children who walk or ride a bike to school are more ready to listen to their classes，ask and answer questions in class than those driven by car，and the school journey is a good chance for children to learn about road safety and other life skills.Also，for many children，riding a bike is more fun than going to school by car.
Most parents know the benefits.Then what’s stopping them from letting their kids ride a bike？Safety is the number one worry for them.But actually riding a bike is not as dangerous as parents think it is.
When you decide to buy a bike，you should be aware that a bike that is too big or too small is dangerous.Don’t try to get a bike that your child will “grow into”．Get the right size in good working order.Generally,20-inch wheels are on bikes for 5～8 year olds；24-inch wheels are for 9～11 year olds；26-inch wheels are suitable for those over 11，and some older children should even take bikes with 28-inch wheels，but the main thing is that the bike fits your child.
21．This passage is mainly written for ????????.
A．parents who send and receive their children to school
B．children who have asked their parents to drive them to school
C．teachers whose students have asked their parents to drive them to school
D．parents who drive to work
答案 A

C．It will make children feel freer.
D．It will be more fun for children.
答案 C
解析 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的第一句話“Experts say that to stay healthy，children need at least one hour of moderate exercise every day.”和第四段的介紹可知只有C項沒有提及。
23．Parents don’t allow their children to ride a bike to school mainly because ????????.
A．their children don’t want to
B．they aren’t worried about their children’s safety
C．they don’t know what size bike to choose
D．they are afraid of their children’s safety
答案 D
解析 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段最后兩句“Safety is the number one worry for them.But actually riding a bike is not as dangerous as parents think it is.”可知答案。

B
Bright red post boxes，the Queen and queuing—what do they all have in common？They are all important parts of British life.At least I thought so.
However，the ability to queue for long periods of time，once believed to be a traditional characteristic of the British，is no longer tolerated by people in the UK，according to a survey done by British bank Barclays.
Once upon a time，queuing was seen as normal.During World War Ⅱ，everyone had to queue up to receive their daily supply of foods.In fact，if you didn’t stand up and wait in line with all the others，it was seen as uncivilized (不文明的)．
The famous English double-decker buses，with only one entrance，might also help explain why queuing was seen as part of British life.Almost always，there is a queue to get in.
But perhaps the British are tired of being pushed past by the Spanish，the Italian or the French as they queue up to get a table at a restaurant.The people of these other European countries have more than one entrance to their buses，which explains their more relaxed attitude to the queue.
Two minutes is now the longest time most British people are prepared to stand and wait.But could it be that the Internet，which allows us to carry out tasks quickly，is the main reason why British people are no longer prepared to queue?
“Used to buying without delay，customers are even giving up purchases rather than wait their turn，”?says Stuart Neal of Barclaycard.“Shoppers are also less likely to queue for long if the item they are buying is of low value.”
Perhaps I will have to replace “queuing”?with “impatience”?in my list of things I relate to the British.
25．What can we learn about the tradition of queuing in Britain?
A．It was a product of the slow pace of life.
B．It was a long time tradition as old as the Queen.
C．It was considered a symbol of a civilized behavior.
D．It has made the British different from other Europeans.
答案 C
解析 推理判斷題。第三段最后一句提到如果不排隊等候，就被認為是不文明的行為，據(jù)此可推斷C項正確。
26．According to the passage，the British gradually stopped queuing because ????????.
A．they prefer shopping online
B．they follow the example of foreigners
C．British buses have more than one entrance
D．the Internet has changed their way of life
答案 D
解析 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第六段第二句“...the Internet...is the main reason why British people are no longer prepared to queue？”可知，主要原因是因特網(wǎng)改變了人們的生活方式。
27．It can be learned from the text that ????????.
A．the British get impatient with queuing for long
B．the British have to queue to receive foods
C．the British like to eat in foreign restaurants
D．the British prefer to take double-decker buses
答案 A
解析 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段第一句和第七段可知，英國人對于排隊不再那么有耐心了，2分鐘的等候時間已經(jīng)是大多數(shù)英國人能接受的等待底線了，故A項正確。
28．The author’s main purpose of writing the passage is ????????.
A．to tell us the influence of the Internet on the British ways of life
B．to compare the cultural differences between Britain and other European countries
C．to talk about the changes in the attitude to queuing in Britain
D．to report his research on the British ways of life
答案 C
解析 寫作目的題。文章主要目的是談?wù)撚伺抨犨@一傳統(tǒng)習慣的轉(zhuǎn)變。
C
Food festivals around the world
Stilton Cheese Rolling
May Day is a traditional day for celebrations，but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans.Teams of four，dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes，roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course.On the way，they must not kick or throw their cheese，or go into their competitors’?lane(賽道)．Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly，but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones)．All the competitors are served with beer or port wine，the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.
Fiery Foods Festival—The Hottest Festival on Earth
Every year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque，New Mexico.They come from as far away as Australia，the Caribbean and China，but they all share a common addiction—food that is not just spicy(辛辣)，but hot enough to make your mouth burn，your head spin and your eyes water.Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March.You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper—officially the hottest pepper in the world—or any one of the thousands of products that are on show.But one thing’s for sure—if you don’t like the feeling of a burning tongue，this festival isn’t for you!
La Tomatina—The World’s Biggest Food Fight
On the last Wednesday of every August，the Spanish town of Bu¨(n)ol hosts La Tomatina—the world’s largest food fight.A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week’s events.The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes—official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd.
The battle lasts little more than half an hour，in which time around 50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves，runs，or fights back.Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again—and for a much-needed wash!
29．In the Stilton cheese rolling competition，competitors on each team must ????????.
A．wear various formal clothes
B．roll a wooden cheese in their own lane
C．kick or throw their cheese
D．use a real cheese weighing about four kilos
答案 B
解析 細節(jié)理解題。由第一段第三句“On the way，they must not...go into their competitors’?lane(賽道)．”和本段倒數(shù)第二句中的“...the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones...”可知答案為B項。
30．Where is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival held?
A．In New Mexico. ? B．In the Caribbean.
C．In Australia. ? D．In China.
答案 A
解析 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題干中的Fiery Food and BBQ Festival可以定位到文章第二段。由第二段中的“Every year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque，New Mexico.”和“Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival...”可知答案為A項。
31．The celebration of La Tomatina lasts ????????.
A．three days ? B．seven days
C．less than three days ? D．more than seven days
答案 B
解析 細節(jié)理解題。由題干中的La Tomatina可以定位到文章第三段。由第三段第二句中的“A week-long celebration...”可知，La Tomatina的慶祝持續(xù)一周。故答案為B項。
32．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The chief prize for the Stilton cheese rolling competition is beer or port wine.
B．More than 10,000 Chinese take part in the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival.
C．Thousands of spicy foods are on show in the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival.
D．An exciting tomato battle takes place at the beginning of La Tomatina.
答案 C
解析 推理判斷題。由第一段中的“...the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos...”可知A項錯誤；由第二段第一句可知B項中的Chinese錯誤；由第二段倒數(shù)第二句中的“...or any one of the thousands of products that are on show.”可知C項正確；由第三段中的“...an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week’s events.”可知D項中的at the beginning of錯誤。故答案為C項。
D
The survival of about one fifth of the world’s vertebrates—animals with a backbone，is considered threatened，according to a new research published in the journal Science.That’s a large fraction of Earth’s animals，but this new study held some good news too.Conservation efforts by humans have slowed the loss of many species of amphibians(兩棲動物)，birds，and mammals.Losses in these groups would have been about 20 percent greater had it not been for recent actions of protection.
Among the animal-conservation success stories is one about birds called Mauritius kestrels.In the 1970s，just four of these birds of prey were left in the world.Through a special breeding program，scientists were able to increase their number to about 1,000 and release them into the wild.
Humpback whales(座頭鯨) have benefited greatly from recent conservation efforts as well.They were once on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) list of species threatened with extinction.But the species is now in less danger，thanks to laws that ban whale hunting.The IUCN even moved the humpback into “species of least concern”．
Over the past 100 years，the white rhino(犀牛) of South Africa has also made an amazing recovery because of habitat protection.The breed multiplied from just 50 animals to about 17,000.Their home has been turned into a protected area，safe from poachers and other threats.
Stuart Butchart，one of the authors of the new study in Science，is encouraged by the positive effects of conservation.But he says “Biodiversity(生物多樣性) of species is in a desperate state.Its situation is getting worse.But our results show we can turn the situation around.”
New conservation policies hopefully are on the way.One hundred ninety-three countries recently met in Japan at the Convention on Biological Diversity to set concrete goals for preserving threatened wildlife and their habitats.Only 1 percent of ocean and 12 percent of land areas were protected under prior agreements.Two new goals set by the group are to designate(指定) 10 percent of the world’s ocean and 17 percent of land environments as protected areas to help increase endangered-animal populations.
33．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Though there was a special breeding program，the number of Mauritius kestrels didn’t increase.
B．Conservation efforts should not only be made by human beings.
C．Humpback whales are not on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’?s list now.
D．Because many groups are working to protect wildlife，natural habitats are in good condition.
答案 C
解析 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第二句和最后一句可知座頭鯨曾經(jīng)在該聯(lián)盟的名單上，但現(xiàn)在已被去掉。
34．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in people’?s conservation efforts?
A．Habitat protection.
B．Breeding programs.
C．Laws of banning whale hunting.
D．Creation of studying organizations.
答案 D
解析 細節(jié)理解題。第二、三、四段分別列出了三種受益于人類保護的動物，毛里求斯紅隼數(shù)量的增加是由于一項特殊的繁殖計劃；座頭鯨是受益于禁止捕鯨的法律；白犀牛數(shù)量的增加是受益于人類對它的棲息地的保護。而D項沒有提到。
35．The author uses some successful animal-conservation examples to show that????????.
A．conservation works
B．man conquers nature
C．animals are more important
D．law is fair
答案 A
解析 推理判斷題。作者在文中引用毛里求斯紅隼、座頭鯨和南非白犀牛三個成功的例子，目的是表明人類的保護措施起了作用。

The life has been full of challenges and obstacles.However，life is not about the smartest person or the strongest person，or even the richest person.Rather，life is about having the persistence to “Never Give Up”，even when you feel that giving up is the only choice.The world is waiting on your gifts.

??38 ?：When an Olympic runner is in a race，he or she is focusing on one thing—the finish line.You have to focus on the big picture—not just where you are right now，focus on where you want to be.Make an agreement with your mind and your mouth，that you “Won’t”?give up，you “Won’t”?be another statistic...you “Won’t”?be a failure.
Life Isn’t No Crystal Stair: One of my favorite poems is called “Crystal Stair”?written by Langston Hughes.In that poem，a mother tells her son that “life isn’t no crystal stair”．??39 ?.It has cracks and rough spots，but the final end is victory—but only to those who stood their ground and rode the course.

Native American groups would often travel long distances for the chance to ??50 ??with each other.In between trading times，they would ??51 ??or collect extra products.They kept them especially for the purpose of bartering with other native groups at their trade meetings.

Dear editor，

Dear editor，
I am writing to you to talk about the heavy traffic.Nowadays，people in many big cities are complaining about the heavy traffic.It has seriously influenced people’s daily life and economic development.To solve the problem，I’d like to put forward some pieces of advice.
For one thing，more streets and roads should be built.In this way，we can speed up the flow of buses and cars.For another，the number of bikes and cars can be limited，which can decrease the traffic flow.But the most important thing is that the number of private cars should be put under control.Meanwhile，buses should have their own special routes which can not be used by other vehicles.Besides，underground train and city train should be developed quickly.
I do hope my suggestions will be taken.
Yours，
Li Hua
