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）（同期老高三提供）

阅读下面短文，从短文后各题的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选取出适合填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

A

It’s great fun to explore new places—it feels like an adventure, even when you know you’re not the first to have been there. But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles.

● Do the map reading if you’re being driven somewhere. It’ll be easier if you keep turning the map so it follows the direction you’re traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn, or you’ll have to move to the back seat.

● Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You’ll need a good map, a compass , a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies . Tell someone where you’re going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The test is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.

● See if your school or a club organizes orienteering activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B (and B to C, etc. ) in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. Either way, it’s not only good fun, but a great way to keep fit.

21. Sitting beside the driver, you should ______.

A. keep looking at the map to find a place to go to

B. move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortable

C. look ahead to see where there’s a turn

D. direct the driver when necessary

22. Why do you need to tell someone your exploration plan before setting out?

A. To be saved in case of an accident.

B. To get needy information when in danger.

C. To share the fun with him/her in exploration.

D. To tell him/her what’s going on with the group members.

23. Orienteering activities can _______.

A. make people work fast

B. help people organize other activities

C. help people stay healthy

D. make people get prepared for sports

24. The text mainly talks about ______.

A. the fun of exploration

B. what to bring for exploration

C. the way to use the map in exploration

D. how to prevent getting lost in exploration

B

This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers from all over the world will spend about ten months in U. S. homes. They will attend U. S. schools, meet U. S. teen-agers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teen-agers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.

Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.

Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study, the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected----much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.

Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.

“Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”

At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize American schools,” he says. “It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”

25. The whole exchange program is mainly to _____.

A. help teenagers in other countries know the real America

B. let students learn something about other countries

C. send students in America to travel in Germany

D. have teenagers learn new languages

26. According to the passage, we can infer that _____.

A. German schools were not as hard as American schools

B. Both of them disliked their own country’s educational model

C. there was some middle ground between the two teaching buildings

D. a better education should include something good from both America and Germany

27. What’s the writer’s attitude in writing this passage?

A. Objective B. Persuasive C. Subjective D. Defensive

C

Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, “But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you’re dead.”

Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark, had forgotten to wear his safety belt—a mistake 75% of the US population make every day. The big question is why.

There have been many myths (false ideas) about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.

Myth Number One: It’s best to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident.

Truth: Chances are that you would travel through a windshield or door and get out of your car without wearing the safety belt. But any accident serious enough to “throw you clear” is also going to be serious enough, only giving you a very bad landing. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are “thrown clear”.

Myth Number Two: Safety belts trap people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.

Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them.

Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren’t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour.

Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving head first into the ground from a height of 10 meters.

28. Why did Elizabeth say to her father, “But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you’re dead?”

A. He was driving at great speed. B. He was running across the street.

C. He didn’t take his medicine on time. D. He didn’t have his safety belt on.

29. According to the text, it is very dangerous for you to be “thrown clear” in a serious accident for you ______.

A. may get caught in the car door

B. may be knocked down by other cars

C. may find it impossible to get away from the seat

D. may get seriously hurt being thrown out of the car

30. What is the advice given in the text?

A. Never drive faster than 30 miles an hour.

B. Tie your belt to save yourself in a car accident.

C. Never forget to wear the safety belt while driving.

D. Drive slowly while you’re not wearing a safety belt.

31. The passage is mainly developed _____.

A. by space B. by example C. by time D. by process

D

A serious problem for today's society is w
