第一部分 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)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A，B，C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

A

I was in a rush as always, but this time it was for an important date I just couldn’t be late for! I found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid for her groceries. A Ph D student with not a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers. I was in a huge rush, thinking of my upcoming evening. I did not want to be late for this date.

We were in Boston, a place not always known for small conversation between strangers. The woman stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me. She smiled. It was a nice smile — warm and reassuring — and I returned her gift by smiling back.

“Must be a special lady, whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers,” she said.

“Yes, she’s special,” I said, and then to my embarrassment, the words kept coming out. “It’s only our second date, but somehow I am just having the feeling she’s ‘the one’,” Jokingly, I added, “The only problem is that I can’t figure out why she’d want to date a guy like me.”

“Well, I think she’s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her,” the woman said. “My husband used to bring me flowers every week — even when times were tough and we didn’t have much money. Those were incredible days; he was very romantic and — of course — I miss him since he’s passed away.”

I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries. There was no doubt in my mind as I walked up to her. I touched her on the shoulder and said, “You were right, you know. These flowers are indeed for a very special lady.” I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation.

It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just purchased. “You have a wonderful evening,” I said. I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the beautiful flowers.

I remember being slightly late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story. A couple of years later, when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me, she told me that this story had helped to seal it for her — that was the night that I won her heart.

21. Why was the writer in a hurry that day?

A. He was delayed by an elderly lady.

B. He had to go back to school soon.

C. He was to meet his girlfriend.

D. He had to pick up some groceries.

22. What does the underlined phrase “her gift” (Paragraph 2) refer to?

A. Her words. B. Her smile.

C. Her flowers. D. Her politeness.

23. Why did the writer give his flowers to the elderly lady?

A. She told him a nice story. B. She allowed him to pay first.

C. She liked flowers very much. D. She gave him encouragement.

24. What is the message conveyed in the story?

A. Flowers are important for a date. B. Small talk is helpful.

C. Love and kindness are rewarding. D. Elderly people deserve respecting.

答案与解析

【文章大意】 文章讲述了作者听了女店主的话备受鼓舞，将原本给女友的花转赠了给她，女友因感动而嫁给了他。

21. 答案 C

解析 细节理解题。由第一段第一句的关键词date及最后一段girlfriend可知，答案是C项。

22. 答案 B

解析 词义猜测题。根据She smiled ... I retuned her gift by smiling back.一句可知选B项。

23. 答案 D

解析 推理判断题。根据第四段The only problem is that I can’t figure out why she’d want to date a guy like me.暗示作者当时的不自信；后来年长女士说Well, I think she’s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her，前后对比，极大地增强了作者的自信心而给了他很大的鼓舞，选D项。

24. 答案 C

解析 推理判断题。文章大意为：女店主——鼓舞作者——把花赠与了女店主——做法又感动其女友——女友嫁给他；由此看出“回报”之意，所以找准关键词“回报”，选C项。

B

“If there is one thing I’m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has been a habit passed down from generation to generation.

The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives — the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic (基因) engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do — as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.

It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted (传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I’m pretty sure how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read — sports and international news, etc.

I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media. They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.

25. What is the best title for the passage?

A. The Best Way to Get News B. The Changes of Media

C. Make Your Own Newspaper D. The Future of Newspaper

26. In the writer’s opinion, in the future, ________.

A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news

B. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer

C. newspapers will cover more scientific research

D. more and more people will watch TV

27. From the passage, we can infer ________.

A. newspapers will win the competition among the different media

B. newspapers will stay with us together with other media

C. television will take the place of newspaper

D. the writer believe some media will die out

28. The underlined phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means “________”.

A. depend on B. compete with

C. fight with D. kill off

答案与解析

【文章大意】 本文提出报纸这一新闻媒体在近百年内不会消失的观点并分析了其原因。

25. 答案 D

解析 主旨大意题。从文章第一句：If there is one thing I’m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. 一百年后人们仍要读报，到后面文章讲到报纸跟人们生活的关系，报纸的形式和内容，可归纳出此题的答案选D项。

26. 答案 C

解析 细节理解题。根据文章第二段I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. 可知，作者认为很多年后，报纸上会有更多的关于科学研究的文章，此题答案为C项。

27. 答案 B

解析 细节理解题。根据文章第一段Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday可推知，报纸会和其他媒体那样一直和我们在一起，答案为B项。

28. 答案 A

解析 词义猜测题。作者上一句说人们错误地认为各种不同的媒体相互竞争，而下一句作者又说 They actually feed off each other(注意句中 actually 一词)，再结合所给的四个选项，可知选A项。

C

Los Angeles: Love for Mom is necessary, but buying flowers on her big day may not be.

A slump in flower sales since late last year was likely to continue through Mother’s Day, another example of Americans cutting back on spending due to recession fears, which is a period of reduced trade and business activity, and increasing food and gasoline prices.

“If you look at what has happened on Valentine’s Day and Christmas, the market for flowers has cooled,” said Eric Beder, an analyst at Brean Murray. “Growth has slowed in the past two quarters. Mother’s Day will probably be a slow quarter, too.”

US floral sales for Mother’s Day, celebrated yesterday, will fall thirteen percent this year to ＄2 billion, with consumers spending an average of ＄17.65, according to the National Federation estimates.

Mother’s Day, which accounts for a one-quarter of annual holiday purchases, according to the Society of American Florists, is traditionally the day when flowers are delivered to the doorsteps of many mothers.

But this year, the shop-owners are concerned. Gabriel Soto, who owns a flower shop beneath an office high-rise in the Los financial district, is expecting lower sales — and has ordered 30 percent fewer flowers than normal this Mother’s Day. Last month, Soto, who also operates website downtown-flowers.net, closed another store in a nearby building that was headquarters to a mortgage company. After workers lost their jobs due to the housing crisis, orders decreased.

29. The underlined word “slump” in Para. 2 probably means “________”.

A. sharp decrease in price B. great fear for losing jobs

C. global worry of floral stores D. sudden fall by a large amount

30. According to the author, Mother’s Day should be an occasion of ________.

A. a large family get-together B. a big annual holiday purchase

C. a great love showed to mothers D. a celebration among Americans

31. This passage implies that Americans have ________.

A. met financial problems recently

B. no longer bought flowers for mothers

C. delivered flowers to every house for mothers

D. cut back on spending because of losing jobs

答案与解析

【文章大意】 文章介绍在美国, 由于经济不景气,人们在母亲节减少了花卉消费。

29. 答案 D

解析 词义猜测题。第二段开头说:从去年年底开始的花卉销售低谷可能在母亲节那天继续,这是美国人害怕经济衰退而减少开销的另一例子。从这些语境信息判断,其含义应该是D项“急剧下降”。

30. 答案 B

解析 细节理解题。第五段说：母亲节消费额占全年节日消费额的四分之一,按传统,

这一天花束会被送到很多母亲的(家)门口。每年这个时候人们都会大把地花钱。由此判断B项正确。

31. 答案 A

解析 推理判断题。每年的母亲节,美国人都会订购大量的鲜花送给妈妈,而今年受经济萧条的影响,美国人支出减少,鲜花销量锐减,由此可推知A项正确。

D

A Southampton University team found that people who were vegetarians by 30 had recorded five IQ points higher on average at the age of 10. Researchers said it could explain why people with a higher IQ were healthier as a vegetarian diet was linked to lower heart disease and obesity rates. The study of 8,179 people was reported in the British Medical Journal.

Twenty years after the IQ tests were carried out in 1970, 366 of the participants said they were vegetarians — although more than 100 reported eating either fish or chicken.

Men who were vegetarians had an IQ score of 106, compared with 101 for non-vegetarians; while female vegetarians averaged 104, compared with 99 for non-vegetarians. There was no difference in the IQ scores, between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarians but reported eating fish or chicken.

Researchers said the findings were partly related to better education and higher class, but it remained statistically significant after adjusting for these factors.

Vegetarians were more likely to be female, to be of higher social class and to have higher academic or vocational qualifications than non-vegetarians. However, these differences were not reflected in their annual income, which was similar to that of non-vegetarians.

Lead researcher Catharine Gale said, “The findings that children with greater intelligence are more likely to report being vegetarians as adults, together with the evidence on the potential benefits of a vegetarian diet on heart health, may help to explain why a higher IQ in childhood or adolescence is linked with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease in adult life.

But Dr Frankie Phillips of the British Dietetic Association said, “It is like the chicken and egg. Do people become vegetarians because they have a very high IQ or is it just that they are clever enough to be more aware of health issues？”

32. What’s the result of the research mentioned in the text?

A. Children with a higher IQ are less likely to have heart disease later in life.

B. Intelligent children tend to belong to higher social class later in life.

C. Intelligent children are more likely to become vegetarians later in life.

D. Children with a healthier heart tend to have a higher IQ later in life.

33. It was found in the research that ________.

A. most of the participants became vegetarians 20 years after the IQ tests were carried out.

B. vegetarians who ate fish or chicken were of similar intelligence with strict vegetarians.

C. female vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians.

D. vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians.

34. Catharine Gale talked about “being vegetarians” in a(n) ________ way.

A. doubtful B. favorable

C. negative D. objective

35. What’s the best title for the text?

A. Get More IQ Points!

B. Be a Vegetarian, Please!

C. A High IQ Is Linked to Being a Vegetarian

D. Vegetarian Diet Cuts Heart Risk

答案与解析

【文章大意】 文章介绍了一项研究：高智商与素食密切相关。

32. 答案 C

解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的people who were vegetarians by 30 had recorded five IQ points higher on average at the age of 10可知，C项正确。

33. 答案 B

解析 细节理解题。 根据第三段中的There was no difference in the IQ scores between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarians but reported eating fish or chicken可知，答案为B项。

34. 答案 D

解析 推理判断题。根据第六段可知凯瑟琳·盖尔只是客观地讲述研究结果，并没有表示自己的立场。故选D项。

35. 答案 C

解析 主旨大意题。本文介绍了一项研究结果：素食与高智商有关，故C项正确。作者并未提出建议，所以A，B两项错误；文章中虽然提到了心脏病，但不是文章的主旨，故D项错误。

After the final examination, a parents’ meeting will be held in our school.

_____________________________________________________________________

参考范文

After the final examination, a parents’ meeting will be held in our school. Parents’ meetings are often held to help parents keep in touch with the school and teachers and improve the students’ studies, but different people have different ideas. Here are our views on parents’ meetings.

Most students think it is of great importance to have the meeting for parents to know more about their children at school. What is more, parents can get some good advice and useful/practical information from teachers. On the contrary, a minority of students hold the view that it is useless because they think their parents may punish them after knowing their poor marks and improper behavior at school.

In my opinion, to understand children better, parents should contact teachers, so parents’ meetings are quite necessary.
