第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

This week, a mammoth (猛犸象) possibly killed by humans 10,000 to 21．（6分）15,000 years ago was found in soy fields about 2 miles west of Detroit. It was found by farmer James Bristle and his neighbor Trent Satterthwaite, who were reportedly digging in the field. At first, they couldn’t figure out what they were seeing.

“It was probably a rib bone that came up,” Bristle tells Ann Arbor News. “We thought it was a bent fence post.” Upon closer inspection, however, it became clear even to untrained eyes this was no fence post. “We knew it was something special.” Then they sped up the dig.

After finding the bones Monday night, Bristle called the University of Michigan Tuesday morning to report his find. Scientist Daniel Fisher arrived to inspect it Wednesday, and by Thursday morning he had confirmed it’s a woolly mammoth. He concludes the animal was about 40 years old when it died. It was hunted by humans, he says, who killed it arid stored the remains in a pond as a way of preserving the meat for future use. It’s still too early to tell exactly how it died, Fisher tells Detroit’s WWJ-TV, “but the skeleton showed signs of human’s butchering.”

The bones are being temporarily stored nearby, according to the Free Press, and it remains unclear where they’ll eventually end up. Their research value will be determined once they’ve been cleaned and dried.

Woolly mammoths once lived in Eurasia and North America, and most disappeared by 10,000 years ago—a demise (终止) that has been linked not only to humans, but also to changing climate. It’s now believed that warming weather weakened their populations before humans dealt the final blows.

1、How did James Bristle and his neighbor find what they found at first? A．It’s delicate. C．It’s unique.

B．It’s old. D．It’s worthless.

2、What can we know about the mammoth according to the text?

A．It might die in its 40s.

C．It preferred walking in the fields. 3、Which is Daniel Fisher’s opinion? A．The bones are well worth studying. B．The mammoth was killed by a butcher.

B．It was native to Eurasia.

D．It mainly died from climate change.

C．The newfound site has evidence of human activity. D．It’s unclear whether the bones were a mammoth’s. 4、What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean? A．Dried their bones. C．Destroyed their home.

B．Took their lives. D．Preserved their meat.

22．（8分）One day, when I was working as psychologist in England, an

adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy has lost his family,” he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I’m very worried about him. Can you help?”

I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn't have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.

The first two times we met, David didn't say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children's drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon-in complete silence and without looking at me. It's not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.

Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?

“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,” I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.

“It's your turn,” he said.

After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times, about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.

Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one-without any word-can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.

1、When he first met the author, David ________. A．felt a little excited B．walked energetically

C．looked a little nervous D．showed up with his teacher 2、As a psychologist, the author ________. A．was ready to listen to David B．was skeptical about psychology C．was able to describe David's problem D．was sure of handling David's problem 3、What can be interred about David? A．He recovered after months of treatment. B．He liked biking before he lost his family.

C．He went into university soon after starting to talk. D．He got friends in school before he met the author.

23．（8分）The housing market in Canada has been in a dangerous situation. A recent news item said that the owner of two high-rise buildings of rental apartments had told his tenants (房客) that their rent would double in three months.

Toronto doesn’t have rent controls to stop this sort of thing from happening. However, the politicians warn almost immediately that landlords (房东) should be careful because it could cause new laws to pass that they may not like. Tenants in the two buildings, meanwhile, are angry and some will have to move out because they simply can’t afford to stay.

The next day another news story noted that the purchase price of a house in Toronto has jumped 33 percent this year, which might destroy the dream of owning a house for most young people. Both of these stories came out of Toronto but similar things are happening in Canada’s other major cities such as Vancouver, Ottawa,

Montreal and Calgary.

The cost of both home rental and home purchase is related to the supply and demand pressures of the market place and this is probably as it should be. The catch is that the rapid increase in both costs is far outstripping (超过) the increase in salaries, particularly in those jobs that beginners and probably even the majority of people can get.

We can’t leave these people out on the streets. I think the expanding gulf between the haves and the have-nots that we are seeing in Canada is dangerous because when some people seem to have everything and others are next to nothing it can lead to desperation, depression and sometimes to violence. I doubt whether this phenomenon is limited to my country but it’s very concerning here. I feel sorry for the young people just entering the housing market.

1、Why do the politicians warn the landlords not to double their rents in the near future?

A．They are kind-hearted men and feel sorry for the poor.

B．They’ll have to raise the salaries for workers if rents are too high. C．It is cold in Canada, so it is dangerous to leave people on the street. D．The government will take measures to protect the interest of tenants.

2、That the writer thinks the housing market in Canada in a dangerous situation is because ________.

A．Canada doesn’t have rent controls to stop rents from rising B．most young people take no interest in buying their own house C．the government are unable to provide the poor with free houses D．the problems caused by high rents may lead to serious social conflicts

3、According to the context, which of following word has the closest meaning to the underlined word “catch” in paragraph 4? A．Problem. B．Dilemma. C．Depression. D．Desperation. 4、What is the best title for the text? A．Beyond Most Buyers B．Tenants Will Move Out

C．Toronto Is No Longer a Good Place

D．To Help the Young or Not, This Is a Question

When the cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris (巴黎圣母院) was on fire, 24．（8分）it seemed as if the nation had lost a piece of its soul. A similar tragedy took place in 19th century Russia. And the rebuilding effort of the Russians might offer some inspiration for the French.

Standing in the heart of the Russian capital, with 60,000 square meters of floor space and 1,500 rooms, the Winter Palace was among the world’s grandest building. On Dec. 17, 1837, a fire broke out at the Winter Palace. By the morning of Dec.19, only the structure’s framework remained.

For the czar (沙皇) , the fire presented a political challenge. Fearing that Russia's enemies would cast the fire as a blow to the czarist orders, the czar’s supporters quickly worked together to shape the description of the fire in Russia and abroad. They wanted the country to appear united. And they certainly didn't want despair to become the story.

The first full account of the fire was written in French by the poet Petr Viazemskii. A Russian translation appeared two months later. That text and others painted a highly idealized picture of the response to the tragedy. The accounts noted that the czar forcefully directed the fire’s containment. Soldiers were selfless to save the palace. The Russian people felt the loss just as deeply as the czar.

To erase the shame of the fire, the czar set a nearly impossible goal: rebuild the palace within 15 months, and he ordered that rebuilt palace look exactly as it had before.Thousands of workers labored on the construction site. They made rapid progress. On Match 2, 1839, the czar celebrated the rebirth of the Winter Palace.

Outwardly identical to the old version, the new palace featured more iron and brick in its structures---and less wood. It was far less fire-prone than the original.

Notre Dame hasn’t experienced the same level of destruction as the Winter Palace, if the Russian phoenix of 1839 is any indication, there is hope that a renewed Notre Dame will once again grace the banks of the Seine. 1、What do we know about the fire in the Winter Palace? A．It burnt down 60,000 rooms B．It lasted more than 1 hours C．It was set by Russia’s enemies

D．It completely destroyed the palace

2、Why did the czar decide to rebuild the palace in a short time? A．To secure his power B．To challenge his enemies C．To unite French people D．To celebrate his birthday

3、What did Viazemskii and others stress in their accounts? A．The scene of the fire B．The selflessness of the czar

C．The Russians’ joint effort to fight the fire D．The ideal result achieved by the Russians.

4、What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A．To describe a fire at the Winter Palace B．To praise the renewal of the Winter Palace C．We express sympathy for the Notre Dame

D．To inspire confidence in rebuilding the Notre Dame.

Many young people these days adore the advertised magazine body and 25．（10分）become too focused on attaining this image instead of worrying more about what lasts and even grows over time. But could you imagine being considered beautiful for years, and suddenly being ugly after moving to another continent? It is a sad reality that people don’t realize how vacillating the idea of beauty can be from one country to another.

Think of the most typical American girl you know. Is she blonde haired with white skin and light eyes, and does she love shopping or sports? Now place this girl in the heart of Africa, a place where beauty is placed on what you can control. The Maasai tribe in Kenya focuses on how clean people are, and how stylish their piercings (穿孔) are. This tribe’s culture is to be a brave fighter, so they will cut their skin with patterns in it to show that they are strong. If you don’t look fierce, you are not beautiful. Other countries like North Korea and South Korea have their own unique views on beauty. In an interview, a woman who has lived in both North and South Korea claims that beauty in North Korea is based more on your ability to be a good woman and wife. She says that women in North Korea are less concerned about fashion and beauty in the

physical sense. She says they did have a time when big eyes were a big deal and everyone wanted to get double eyelid surgery. This is something extreme and could perhaps be influenced by Western culture. And the idea of getting surgery done to look more attractive is crazy.

1、What does the underlined word “vacillating” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Inconsistent. B．Reasonable. C．Unusual. D．Similar. 2、The Maasai tribe in Kenya is mentioned to show that in their eyes _______. A．getting dirty is stylish B．looking fierce is beautiful C．strong people cut their skin D．American girls love shopping

3、According to the woman interviewed, women in North Korea now_______. A．care a lot about their appearance B．put the beauty of eyes in the first place C．pay great attention to their ability D．are crazy about double eyelid surgery 4、What does the text mainly tell us? A．Inner beauty is of great importance. B．Ideas of beauty vary among culture groups. C．Different ways are needed to admire true beauty. D．Fashion magazines easily influence young people.

22、 If you think that Internet shopping on a Sunday gets you the best deals, then think again. Tuesday is actually the best day of the week if you want to grab a bargain according to an exhaustive analysis of on-line shopping. Thursday is the second best day followed by Friday—but Sunday is when you are least likely to make a saving.

The study also looked at months and found that the pre-Christmas rush in November is when there are most bargains around on the web—and not the January sales. US retailer(零售商) reporting service Sum All examined 3,000 companies and halt a billion transactions(交易) as part of its report. It worked out the average discount(折扣) offered to consumers on each day of the week and over different times of the year.

The best day of the week was Tuesday where savings were 4.81 percent, followed by Thursday on 4.80 percent. In third place was Friday at 4.615 percent, then Wednesday at 4.13 percent and Monday at 4.11 percent. Only the foolish would shop on a Saturday where the discounts were typically 3.84 percent—and Sunday was the worst with 3.37 percent.

The analysis by month is even more surprising as most people think that waiting until the post-Christmas sales would yield the biggest discounts. In fact, November is

when you will get the largest savings at 5.99 percent on average. January came in second at 4.95 percent, followed by May at 4.50 percent.

The worst month to buy online was March where you could expect to save just 2.76 percent. Consumers and experts have been speculating for years about the best time to shop online.

Booking a flight has almost become a science with some claiming that buying six weeks before you travel guarantees you the best price. However, a recent analysis by the US Airlines Reporting Commission found that was not actually the case.

Not only did the six-week window fail to pile up, in some cases the best fares were on sale as long as 24 weeks before departure. The ARC said that booking well in advance is best advised for busy routes or long haul flights(长途航班), as the price only tends to go up.

4、If a buyer wants to buy cheap goods online, he'd better go to the shop on ________. A．Tuesday

B．Thursday

C．Friday

D．Sunday

5、Most web sellers often provide bargain on the web ________. A．after New Year's Day C．on Mother's Day

B．during Valentine's Day D．before Christmas

6、Which of the following statements is True according to the third paragraph? A．The best day of the week was Tuesday where savings were 4.8 percent. B．In third place was Thursday where savings were 4.65 percent. C．Sunday where the discounts were 3.37 percent was the worst. D．Customers can get the best savings on Saturday.

7、What is the meaning of the underlined word “speculating” in the fifth paragraph? A．Quarrelling. B．Objecting. 23、1、D 2、D 3、A 4、A 24、1、B 2、A 3、C 4、D 25、1、A

To practice socialist core values and stimulate civilized behaviours, we are making our campus a civilized one, which is of great importance to us. We can not only get along well with our schoolmates as well as our teachers, but also study and live in a better and more harmonious environment. However, there are some bad behaviours on our campus now. For example, some students are impolite and dishonest to others. Moreover, others throw litter everywhere, ignoring others’ hard work. To achieve this goal and improve our quality, we must promote our environmental awareness and behave ourselves. Let’s take action right now and we can make it. Li Jin
