第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）

第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

Among the many things that Brisbane(布里斯班），Australia, does really well is the care for kids. Here's a list of places that we think will be suitable for your kids.

Swimming pools

Simple way for happiness: mix kids with water. Of course, this is a choice for the hot summer months.

Parks

Free outdoor fun-that's what Brisbane's parks offer kids of all ages. Parks encourage imagination and activity for little people and a place for parents to let them run wild.

The Children's Art Centre

The Children's Art Centre has proven very popular with their programs and exhibitions. We love the artist-run workshops and performances (unusually you must pay some money) specially designed for children too.

South Bank Parklands

South Bank Parklands has everything you need to keep little ones amused. Take them for a swim at the man-made beach, play on one of the playgrounds by the river. On weekends, go through the arts market or go to a cheap movie at the South Bank cinema. South Bank Parklands often hosts free events and performances too.

Roma Street Parkland

Close to bus transport, this inner city parkland is easily accessible (可进入的) and ideal for kids of all ages. Younger kids can take a trip on the Jelly Bean Express, a 1.3 km trackless train ride around the parkland or there's a playground to explore. Free entry and open daily.

Skating and climbing

We love the places that let the kids expend all that youthful energy. Take them roller skating or ice skating. Or try rock climbing at a variety of indoor and outdoor places around Brisbane.

21. If your kids want to watch performances for free, you can take them to

A. South Bank Parklands B. Roma Street Parkland

C The Children's Art Centre D. Parks

22. What can we know about Roma Street Parkland?

A. It opens only at weekends.

B. Only younger kids can visit it.

C. We need not buy tickets for a visit.

D. You have to walk when visiting it.

23. What does the text mainly talk about?

A. Some interesting places for kids in Brisbane.

B. How to travel in Brisbane.

C. The best time to visit Brisbane.

D. Brisbane-a beautiful city in Australia.

B

Parents do not owe (欠) their children a college education. If they can afford it, they can certainly send them to a good university. But they needn't feel guilty if they can't. When children grow up and want to get married, their parents do not owe them an apartment. They do not have the duty to look after their grandchildren, either. If they want to do it, it must be considered a favor, not an obligation.

Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal.

One of their obligations is to give their children a personal worth. Children who are always made to feel stupid and unworthy, constantly compared with brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins will become so unsure, so afraid of failing that they won't try at all. Of course they should be properly corrected(改正)when they do wrong, but it's often better to let children learn their mistakes by themselves in time. All their parents should do is to trust them, respect them, understand them and give them chances to try and fail. They must learn to stand(承受) failure. When criticisms(批评) are really needed, they should be balanced with a smile and a kiss. That is the way children learn.

Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to build their lives. This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinions of others. Also it means being respectful (尊敬的) to elders, to teachers, and to the law. The best way to teach such values is by deed (行为). A child who is lied to will lie. A child who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have difficulty laughing and loving.

No child asks to be born. If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something.

24. The author thinks parents____________________.

A. should send their children to college

B. should support their children after they get married

C. need to buy an apartment for their children

D. needn't feel guilty if they can't send their children to universities

25. What does the underlined word "obligation" in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. Right. B. Promise. C. Duty. D. Excuse.

26. According to the passage, what should parents do when children make mistakes?

A. Understand them and tell them not to do that again.

B. Let them learn the mistakes by themselves in time.

C. Compare them with brighter brothers or sisters.

D. Correct their mistakes immediately.

27. What does the author mainly talk about in this passage?

A. The duties of parents.

B. The best way to teach children.

C. The reason why children feel stupid and unworthy.

D. The reason why parents owe their children something.

C

When I was growing up, I was a teenager no one listened to—and I grew sick of it. So, I’m here to let America know that the future of our country, those kids you’ve raised (抚养) and sent through high school, the ones you thought were so easy to control, are strong and we want to be heard.

Many people throughout my life told me to shut up or mind my own business when I tried to express my opinion on politics, the death sentence (死刑)or other issues. What I have come to realize is that I have just the same right as anyone to say how I feel about whatever topic I choose. I no longer believe that I should just follow the crowd. I am ready to make a stand and shout out to the whole world what my opinions are.

I believe that Teenagers have every right to speak about the government. I do not think that I am less informed than the next person. I know that if I don’t speak my mind, I will not be true to my nature.

I was raised in a family where politics were always discussed and debated. Many times my parents and I argued for half the night over the same problems the Supreme Court deals with. It was in this climate that I started to form my opinions about the government. I learned that my opinions mattered.

So why does it continuously seem as if teenagers are unimportant?

Unfortunately, I know the answer. I know that the government is not looking far enough into the future. I am not viewed as a future president, a future CEO or a future revolutionary (改革者). All I am to them is a loud, unpleasant teenager. I think it is time that we were heard for more than what we are thought to be. It is time for me to be known for my knowledge, my interest and my ability to lead.

So, America, were you all not in my place once, with no power to speak and be heard? Isn’t it time for the future of America to begin voicing our opinions about important matters?

I believe it is. I believe in so much more than freedom of speech. I believe in the power of the future America, and I believe that it is time we all take a stand. I believe in us.

28. What does the word “climate” refer to?

A. weather condition of an area

B. an atmosphere that exists

C. a political problem discussed

D. a special situation where arguments happen

29. Why hasn’t the government listened to teenagers’ opinions according to the passage?

A. They fail to take teenagers opinions seriously.

B. Teenagers know nothing about future.

C. Teenagers’ opinions are generally meaningless.

D. Political matters are too serious for teenagers.

30. What is the main idea of the passage?

1. Teenagers have rights to voice their opinions.
2. Political matters are part of teenagers’ life.
3. No one would like to listen to teenagers.
4. It’s hard for teenagers to have political opinions.

31. The author writes the passage intending to ________.

A. provide typical examples

B. voice his opinion

C. present different opinions

D. give a warning

D

I loved my aunt Suzy. She was such a kind old lady. I loved going to her house on holiday. She had been sick for the last few years and, though my job had taken me away across the town, I tried to visit her as much as possible. I helped with the shopping, the cooking and the cleaning and taking her pet cat Mazy to the vet.

Sad as her passing away was, what happened to Mazy was even more worrying. Because aunt Suzy had no children, there wasn’t anyone who seemed to care for her beloved cat friend. I would have taken her in a short time, but my apartment doesn’t allow pets. First, we talked with her neighbors. Mr. Jenkins, who was alone and lived across the street, wasn’t interested. Joe and Sally who lived next door had a small child with serious skin allergies(过敏症). My aunt’s best friend Molly who had lived just down the road was unable to take care of herself as she had serious health problems.

Second, we thought about our family members. My brother Bobby and his wife Jill were removed at once as they aren’t cat people. My cousin in California was a bit interested, but we weren’t sure about the trip as Mazy was nearly as old as my aunt (in cat years!). Finally, we came to the local humane society to see whether they would be able to help her find a new home. The problem was that most people and families only welcomed a smart little cat into their home, not a dull old one.

In the end, we had to put Mazy to sleep. I had spoken with the vet and realized it was possible for the best. It was so hard to lose aunt Suzy and then have nowhere for Mazy to live. A few months went by and I had gone to my aunt’s house to clear out some of her belongings. I happened to see her mailman. Jerry and we started to talk about my aunt when he asked about Mazy. I told him that we had to put Mazy to sleep because we couldn’t find a home for her. Jerry got really quiet. “I promised Suzy that if anything ever happened to her, I’d take care of Mazy”, he said sadly. “Suzy always said she’d told her lawyer the arrangement.”

Hearing this, my heart sank to my feet and I almost cried. The saddest part, I realized, was this all could have been avoided. I guess we were just so busy in those final months that we didn’t think about it. We could have called my aunt’s lawyer to take care of it in less than 10 minutes. I’ll never forgive myself for not thinking of it sooner. And I’ll never forgive myself for losing Mazy.

32. To care for her aunt’s cat, the writer first thought of ________.

A. her aunt’s neighbors B. her own neighbors

C. her own relatives D. her family members

33. Why didn’t the writer think her cousin was suitable for taking care of the cat?

A. Her cousin had skin allergies. B. Her cousin disliked animals.

C. Her cousin lived too far away. D. Her cousin was in poor health.

34. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A. the writer let the cat take medicine to sleep

B. most families there didn’t want to raise a cat

C. the cat was killed without pain

D. the writer’s aunt was very forgetful

35. What the writer regretted was that she didn’t ________.

A. try her best to care for her aunt’s cat

B. ask her aunt who would take care of the cat

C. talk with her aunt’s mailman months earlier

D. manage to find out her aunt’s arrangement for Mazy

It is easy to keep your spirits bright when life is going along smoothly and good news seems to turn up at every turn. It is an entirely different picture when life goes off course or bad news appears. The question then becomes：How do we keep our spirits bright throughout the different stages of life? 36 ．

Get Enough Sleep

It wasn't until I became a mother that I realized how important a good night's sleep truly is. 37 . Sleep is such an amazing gift to recharge and start.

Back to Basics

When I feel tired with too much to do, I love to put on my shoes and get outside for a run. 38 ．Getting back to basics can include things like：getting outside，having real conversations with real people, enjoying a meal with a loved one or doing an activity that brings you joy.

Time Management

If life feels like it is out of control and you can't keep up，see what happens when you try to manage your time. There are many time management systems out there that can help. Have event reminders on your phone and computer. 39 . Start your day by writing a list of what you plan to achieve. And sometimes we also need to let go of things that aren't important.

40

Keeping our deepest desires and dreams alive is the very fuel that keeps our spirits bright. Give yourself the gift of having goals and dreams, and don't allow fear to have a say in how big your dreams may be.

书面表达（15分）

Nowadays, heated arguments and cold silences are common between teenagers and their parents. There are two main reasons accounting for such family tensions.

For one thing, teenagers are going through great physical changes. Some of them shoot up in height and their voices get deeper, among many other developments. For another, it is also a big headache to balance their mental needs. Teenagers have a new desire for independence. They feel ready to be more responsible and make decisions on their own. Yet they still need parents’ love and support. They wish their parents could be more caring and patient.

From my point of view, we can take some action to improve this situation. First, try to communicate with our parents regularly and honestly. Second, put ourselves in our parents’ shoes and understand what they do.

Take it easy and remember everything will turn out all right in the end.

W: I think I should make my goal to lose fifty pounds! I could start by not eating sweets.

M: That’s a good idea. You could also try to eat more natural foods.

M: Yeah, I can imagine! When do you hear back?

W: They said three to four weeks, so it’s worth waiting. Have you started looking for jobs yet? Can you believe graduation is only a few months away?

M: I’ve thought about it, but I get so anxious when I think about the future that I’ve stopped right now. I’m just going to focus on my studies for a bit longer. Once mid-term exams are over, I think I will start again.

Welcome to On the Town from BBC, I’m Neil. This is the program where we visit some of the most interesting places in London. Today we’re at the British Museum.

Firstly, I’d like to brief you on the history of this world-famous museum. It was founded by King George II in 1753 to house the collection left by Sir Hans Sloane.

It contains collections throughout time, across the globe. You can see Egyptian mummies, ancient Greek statues and even Terracotta Warriors borrowed from Xi’an Museum under one roof. Financed by the UK government, it is free to visit the permanent collection. You’ll need tickets to visit some rooms, though.

As for recommendation, you can visit the great Reading Room, round in shape in the center of the museum. You might also see the Lewis Chessmen. It is a large group of chess pieces carved from whale bone. See the chess set in Room 40. And you can see the huge head of Egyptian pharaoh in Room 4 as well as the Easter Island Statue in Room 24.

Hope you enjoyed this program and see you next time.
