第二部分  閱讀理解(共25小題。第一節(jié)每小題2分,第二節(jié)每小題1分;滿分45分)

第一節(jié) 閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

A

Ed Viesturs grew up in Rockford, Illinois, where the tallest thing on the horizon was the water tower. But on Thursday, Viesturs became the only American to climb to the top of the world’s 14 highest mountains.

His last hike was up Mount Annapurna, in Asia's snowcapped Himalayas. At 26,545 feet, its peak is the 10th highest in the world. It is the mountain that inspired him to start climbing.

“It tends to be the trickiest, the most dangerous,” said Viesturs. “There’s no simple way to climb it. There are threatening avalanches (雪崩) and ice falls that protect the mountain.”

In high school, Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzog's tale of climbing the icy Annapurna. Herzog’s story was of frostbite (凍傷) and difficulty and near-death experiences. Viesturs was hooked right away.

Viesturs got his start on Washington's Mount Rainier in 1977, guiding hikes in the summer. Fifteen years ago, he set out to walk up to the world’s highest peaks. Finally, he's done.

The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with respect. “You have to use all of your senses, all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it,” said Viesturs. “If we have the patience and the respect, and if we're here at the right time, under the right circumstances, they allow us to go up, and allow us to come down.”

What's next for a man who can’t stop climbing? “I'm going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back and enjoy the summer,” says Viesturs. But for a man who’s climbed the world’s 14 tallest mountains, he will probably soon set off on yet another adventure.

41.What record has Ed Viesturs set?

  A.He has succeeded in climbing to the world’s 14th highest mountain.

  B.He has become the first to climb to the height of 26,545feet.

  C.He has been to the top of the world’s 14 highest mountains.

  D.He has become the first man to climb to the top of 14 highest mountains in the world.

42.The underlined word “hooked” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “______”.

  A.frightened                                          B.discouraged           

  C.interested                                           D.upset

43.The author used Viestures’ words in Paragraph 6 to support a view that ______.

  A.mountain climbing is a dangerous sport

  B.mountains should be regarded as living creatures

  C.mountain climbing needs more skills than physical energy

  D.those who like mountain climbing won’t stop climbing

 

 

 

44.What’s the next probably plan of Viestures?

  A.Climbing another one of the highest mountains.

  B.Climbing to the top of the world’s 14 tallest mountains again.

  C.Stopping climbing and staying with his family.

  D.Writing down the experiences about his adventure.

For Senior 3 students, choosing which college to attend can be the most exciting and thrilling time in their entire school lives. This is also true for an American girl named Melanie in the film, College Road Trip, which was released in the US on March 7.

Melanie’s dad, James Porter, is the chief of police for a Chicago suburb(市郊). Incredibly security obsessed(困擾), he wants Melanie to attend nearby Northwestern University, where she’s already been accepted. But Melanie, 17, really wants to go to Georgetown in Washington, D.C., where she’s been wait-listed.

When she gets an unexpected interview, she decides to take a road trip with a few close female friends. Melanie believes it is her first step toward adulthood.

But despite the fact that this trip is “girls only”, James isn’t comfortable with the prospect of his little princess exploring the world without him. He wants to protect her.

James Joins the girls and hopes he can convince her to go to Northwestern. While Melanie’s father only has the best of intentions, his presence leads to an endless series of comic encounters.

After following their faulty GPS device deep into the backwoods, James and Melanie discover her little brother and his pet pig have been hiding in the spare tire compartment(隔間). What should be a simple tire change results in the expensive car rolling down a mountain, forcing them to hike to a nearby hotel. There the pig ruins an outdoor wedding reception after eating an entire bag of coffee beans.

All these disasters add spice to their trip while along the way a father and a daughter finally get the chance to really talk to each other.

The film explores the parent-child relationship in a comic way: The discrepancy(不同) between how close James thinks he is to Melanie and how little he actually knows of her plans makes us laugh first and then think. 

All parents, whether they have college students or not, can relate to the bittersweet realization that their kids are growing up. Like what Melanie and James have done in the film, we all can find the delicate balance between staying connected and letting go.

50.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

     A.It’s unclear whether Melanie could be accepted by Northwestern University.

     B.Northwestern University isn’t so famous as the university in Washington D.C.

     C.There is no hope that Melanie will be accepted by the university in Georgetown.

     D.Melanie father prefers her to stay not too far away from him.

51.We can infer from the passage that ________.

     A.their car rolled down the mountain, ruining the wedding reception

     B.a(chǎn) hotel was destroyed by Melanie’s brother and his pet pig

     C.Melanie and her father got to understand each other better after so many encounters

     D.the girls had to give up their trip because of the incidents on the way

52.The writer holds a(n) ______ attitude towards James Porter’s way of treating her daughter’s choice.

     A.negative           B.positive            C.subjective          D.optimistic

53.The main purpose of the passage is to _______.

     A.introduce the newly-released film

     B.call on parents to learn to balance the relationship with their children

     C.tell a story which happened between an American girl and her father

     D.explore the differences in parent-child relationship between the west and the east

The science of physics today is as current as the morning newspaper. Indeed, as a result of new advances in physics and their rapid application to inventions designed to satisfy man’s wants, the world itself has been changing rapidly. Space technology, industrial technology, and the technology of the home, the farm, the office, the bank, and the department store have all been revolutionized.

Clearly, every grown-up today would understand the world he lives in much better if he knew something about physics. Whether it be Congress voting, huge sums of money for new warships, space exploration, or atomic energy; the office staff learning to use a new computer; son Bobby wanting to know about going to the moon; or the housewife learning to operate a new electric wire stove, physics seems to be everywhere.

Teachers in thousands of schoolrooms in America are trying to communicate some of the excitement and importance of these new developments to their students. They know that some of their eager students will someday be scientists and will themselves then contribute to the development of new knowledge or its application to new things.

But in any case, they can be sure that if they bring a knowledge of science (any science) to their students in meaningful and stimulating ways, they have contributed much to helping each one live a more meaningful life.

54.The application of new advances in physics to inventions ______.

       A.may solve all the problems in teaching

       B.can help people understand the meaning of life

       C.is intended to meet people’s needs

       D.make people understand the voting rules of the Congress

55.According to the passage, many American teachers are making efforts to do all of the following EXCEPT ___.

       A.stimulating their students’ curiosity in physics

       B.making their students understand the importance of physics

       C.giving their students the information of new advances in science

       D.creating excitement about physical education among their students

56.The word “themselves” in the third paragraph refers to ______.

       A.some of the eager students                 B.the students in the classroom

       C.the teachers giving lessons                 D.a(chǎn)ll the scientists in physics

57.The first two paragraphs of the passage mainly tell us about ______.

       A.new advances in physics                     B.the use of physics in our life

       C.the science of physics                       D.modern developments in science

Magic is believed to have begun with the Egyptians, in 1700BC.A magician named Dedi of Dedsnefu was reported to have performed for the pharaoh, or the king. He was also known to have entertained the slaves who built the pyramids. The “Cups and Balls” trick which he was particularly good at is still performed by magicians all over the world today.

The ancient Greeks and Romans were also fascinated by the idea of magic. Actually, one of their main interests was the art of deception(欺騙). This explains why at that time the priests (牧師) even built magic devices into their temples. These devices made it possible for doors to open by themselves and wine to flow magically out of statues’ mouths. This was done mainly to convince people that the priests were powerful.

Magic, however, was not well accepted before the 1800s. Magicians were thought of as freaks(非正常人)and were only allowed to perform in a circus. It was in the 19th century that the magician Robert Houdin came along and changed people’s views and attitudes about magic. It was also because of Robert Huoudin that many magicians were able to add Dr. or MD to their names. Today magicians try hard to find new ways to show their practiced skills. Magic is now entertainment for families all over the world.

58.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

       A.Magical Tricks                                   B.A Great Magician

       C.Magic as Entertainment                       D.The History of Magic

59.Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?

       A.Magic was not well accepted before the 19th century.

       B.Today magic is popular around the world.

       C.Magic is the art of deception.

       D.Robert Houdin changed people’s attitudes about magic in 19th century.

60.In ancient Greece, what did the priests do to show people they had unusual power?

       A.They performed magical tricks to entertain people

       B.They built magic devices in the temples to make doors open by themselves

       C.They treated the people with wine flowing down from statues’ mouths.

  D.They made the statues in the temples drink wine as they wished

書面表達(dá)

   The first thing we can do is to make our campus more beautiful. Every one of us may plant a tree in the school, or organize a thorough cleaning on the campus. We can also form a good habit of putting the rubbish in the trash can.

   The second thing we can do is to protect the facilities in our school. When we leave the classroom, we should never forget to turn off the light or close the door. We should not leave the tap water running or waste any materials in the lab class.

   If everyone does one thing for our school, I believe we will turn our school into a better place to study and live in.
