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）
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
A year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class. Teaching was a
profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute!” someone might say, “are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?”
The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase (公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class. I’m Mr. Davis.” Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.
I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required. “All right then,” I said. “O key, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forest of hands. Every student would yell. “Calm down, you’ll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!”
A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.
21. The author took the job to teach writing because ______.
A. he wanted to be respected B. he had written some stories
C. he wanted to please his father D. he had dreamed of being a teacher 22. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2? A. He would be aggressive in his first class. B. He was well-prepared for his first class.
C. He got nervous upon the arrival of his first class.
D. He waited long for the arrival of his first class.
23. Before he started his class, the author asked the students to ______. A. write down their suggestions on the paper cards
第 3 页 共 11 页
B. cut maple leaves out of the construction paper C. cut some cards out of the construction paper
D. write down their names on the paper cards
24. The author chose the composition topic probably because ______.
A. he got disappointed with his first class B. he had prepared the topic before class C. he wanted to calm down the students D. he thought it was an easy topic
B
Tell a story and tell it well, and you may open wide the eyes of a child, open up lines of communication in a business, or even open people’s mind to another culture or race.
People in many places are digging up the old folk stories and the messages in them. For example, most American storytellers get their tales from a wide variety of sources, cultures, and times. They regard storytelling not only as a useful tool in child education, but also as a meaningful activity that helps adults understand themselves as well as those whose culture may be very different from their own.
“Most local stories are based on a larger theme,” American storyteller Opalanga Pugh says, “ Cinderella, or the central idea of a good child protected by her goodness, appears in various forms in almost every culture of the world.”
Working with students in schools, Pugh helps them understand their own cultures and the general messages of the stories. She works with prisoners too, helping them knowing who they are by telling stories that her listeners can write, direct, and act in their own lives. If they don’t like the story they are living, they can rewrite the story. Pugh also works to help open up lines of communication between managers and workers. “For every advance in business,” she says, “there is a greater need for communication” .Storytelling can have a great effect on either side of the manager-worker relationship, she says.
Pugh spent several years in Nigeria, where she learned how closely storytelling was linked to the everyday life of the people there. The benefits of storytelling are found everywhere, she says.
“I learned how people used stories to spread their culture,” she says, “ What I do is to focus on the value of the stories that people can translate into their own daily world of affairs. We are all storytellers. We all have a story to tell. We tell everybody’s story.”
25. What do we learn about American storyteller from Paragraph 2?
A. They share the same way of storytelling.
B. They prefer to tell the stories from other cultures. C. They learn their stories from the American natives.
D. They find storytelling useful for both children and adults.
26. The underlined sentence (Paragraph 4) suggests that prisoners can _____.
A. start a new life B. settle down in another place C. direct films D. become good actors 27. Pugh has practised storytelling with _____ groups of people. A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5

C
Many critics worry about violence on television, mostly out of fear that it stimulates viewers to violent or aggressive acts. Our research, however, indicates that the consequences of experiencing TV’s symbolic world of violence may be much more far-reaching.
We have found that people who watch a lot of TV see the real world as more dangerous and frightening than those who watch very little. Heavy viewers are less trustful of their fellow citizens, and more fearful of the real world. Since most TV “action-adventure” dramas occur in urban settings, the fear they inspire may contribute to the current flee of the middle class from our cities. The fear may also bring increasing demands for police protection, and election of law-and-order politicians.
While none of us is completely dependent upon television for our view of the world, neither have many of us had the opportunity to observe the reality of police stations, courtrooms, corporate board rooms, or hospital operating rooms. Although critics complain about the fixed characters and plots of TV dramas, many viewers look on them as representative of the real world. Anyone who questions that statement should read the 250,000 letters, most containing requests for medical advice, sent by viewers to “Marcus Welby, M.D.” —a popular TV drama series about a doctor— during the first five years of his practice on TV.
Violence on television leads viewers to regard the real world as more dangerous than it really is, which must also influence the way people behave. When asked, “Can most people be trusted?” the heavy viewers were 35 percent more likely to choose “Can’t be too careful.”
Victims, like criminals, must learn their proper roles, and televised violence may perform the teaching function all too well. Instead of worrying only about whether television violence causes individual displays of aggression in the real world, we should also be concerned about social reality. Passive acceptance of violence in the face of injustice may result from far greater social concern than occasional displays of individual aggression.
We have found that violence on prime-time network TV cultivates（培育）overstated assumptions about the threat of danger in the real world. Fear is a universal emotion, and easy to exploit. The overstated sense of risk and insecurity may lead to increasing demands for protection, and to increasing pressure for the use of force by established authority. Instead of threatening the social order, television may have become our chief instrument of social control. 28. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. Watching televised violence and aggression. B. Violence on television and social disorder.
C. The great influence of watching violence on TV.
D. Danger and risk caused by watching televised violence.
29. According to the passage, why did “Marcus Welby, M.D.” receive so many letters?
A. Because viewers believed the doctor did exist in the real life. B. Because certain TV programmes recommended him to viewers. C. Because he was an experienced doctor and saved many lives.
第 5 页 共 11 页
D. Because the TV appealed to people to pay attention to health.
30. According to the author, ______ is mainly to blame for people’s fear of the real world. A. network TV C. individual display of violence 31. We can infer from the passage that ______.
B. social reality
D. televised violence
A. people tend to be aggressive or violent after watching televised violence.
B. people can learn to protect themselves from dangers by watching violence on TV.
C. the occasional displays of individual aggression may threaten the social order D. watching TV may cause the misuse of authority and disturb the social order
D
Research on embryonic stem cells (胚胎干细胞) is debatable because it requires the destruction of live human embryos.
Supporters find it easy to minimize the significance of this fact because the embryos are only a few days old—nothing more than “blastocysts (胚泡)”.
But if it’s OK to destroy 5-day-old embryos to further scientific inquiry, is it OK to destroy embryos that are five weeks old? Five months? Eight months? Science can’t answer that question.
You don’t have to be part of the pro-life group to have concerns about this kind of scientific research. James Thomson, the University of Wisconsin biologist has said, “If human embryonic stem cell research does not make you at least a little bit uncomfortable, you have not thought about it enough.” However, the president’s new order suggests we should not think too much.
Recently, supporters of embryonic stem cell research called on president to allow experiments using “surplus (多余的)” fifty frozen embryos in fertility clinics, arguing that they would be disposed of anyway. But Obama didn’t limit his new policy to these fertilized eggs.
On the contrary, he left open the possibility of funding studies using embryos created specifically so their cells can be harvested. He did, however, reject another option. “We will ensure,” he said, “that our government never open the door to the use of cloning for human reproduction. It is dangerous, profoundly wrong and has no place in our society, or any society.”
But this position is hard to square with his claimed approach. On one hand, the president says his policy is “about letting scientists do their jobs, free from pressure”. On the other, he will use pressure to keep them from doing reproductive cloning.
What this policy means is simple: It may be permissible for scientists to create cloned embryos and kill them. It’s not permissible to create cloned embryos and let them live. Their cells may be used for our benefit, but not for their own.
It’s the policy that is risky not just to days-old human embryos. The rest of us are sure to receive important medical benefits from this research one day. But we may lose something even more important in a moral sense.
32. It’s implied in the fourth paragraph that pro-life group ________.
A. support the research on embryonic stem cells B. don’t agree with any kind of scientific research C. agree with James Thomson’s opinion
第 6 页 共 11 页
D. rarely think of the consequences of embryonic stem cell research
33. The underlined phrase “square with” in the passage is closest in meaning to ________.
A. find a square tool for B. be in line with C. quarrel with D. pay off
34. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The author thinks there’s a big difference between a 5-day embryo and a 8-month embryo. B. In Obama’s policy, embryonic researchers can only use surplus embryos in fertility clinics. C. President Obama hasn’t expressed his attitude toward human reproductive cloning. D. The research on embryonic stem cells may bring people medical benefits in the future. 35. The author thinks the policy is worrying because ______.
A. the research is against the law
B. we may suffer morally for the research
C. scientists are not really working without pressure
D. ban on human cloning is in the long run harmful to human development 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 “ 36 It all depends on your personality,” said British naturalist Richard Mabey. “Personality shapes your view of the season,” he said. “You may see it as a fading away, a packing up(结束), or as a time of packing in another sense—the gathering of resources before a long journey.” 37 About November, he wrote： No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees November!
On the other hand, another English poet John Keats, already sensing he was seriously ill, was inspired by a late September day to pen one of the most famous poems in the English language, To Autumn. 38 According to Richard Mabey, Keats has the biological evidence on his side. 39 For example, just at the moment that Keats’s “gathering swallows” (in To Autumn) are departing for Africa, millions of creatures are fleeing from the frozen north like Iceland, Greenland and Russia to winter along the east and south coasts of Britain. People might argue that it is the coloring of the leaves and their eventual fall that make people feel sad about autumn. But no one is sure why trees drop their leaves in the first place. It may be likely to rid the poisonous material trees collect over the summer. 40
A century after Keats, the American poet Loren Eiseley wrote in his journal: “Suppose we saw ourselves burning like maples in a golden autumn. And suppose we could disintegrate(瓦解) like autumn leaves... Would not our attitude towards death be different?”
A. Autumn is not a time of slowing down, but a time of new beginnings and great movements of creatures.
B. He wrote to a friend afterwards that there was something comforting and healing about autumn.
第 7 页 共 11 页
C. Keats thought we should take a negative attitude towards death. D. Autumn means different to different people.
E. If this is true, perhaps it tells us a little about, for instance, Thomas Hood, the 19th Century English poet.
F. More likely, it is a way of reducing the loss of water, which tree roots find hard to take in from cold soil.
G. The fall of tree leaves is more likely to make people sad.

I saw the crossing of twisting, turning streets 42 to the square in the center of the village. “See, my dear,” Father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can’t get where you want to go by one road, try 43 .”

In the years that followed I often remembered what Father told me. And on the way to my first small success I found the road 51 with his words in mind. As a fashion-design lover, I was busy getting ready to 52 my winter fashions. Then just 13 days before the presentation the sewing girls were called out on 53 . I felt so depressed that I was 54 that we would have to cancel the presentation 55 show the clothes unfinished. Then it 56 on me. Why not show the clothes unfinished?
We worked hurriedly and the showing took place as 57 . Some coats had no sleeves; others had only one. Many of our clothes were only 58 made of heavy cotton cloth. But on these we pinned sketches and pieces of material. In this way we were able to show what colors and textures (结构) the clothes would have when they were finished. It was our 59 showing that caught the attention of the public, and 60 for the clothes poured in.
Father’s wise words had guided me again. There is always more than one way to the square. 41. A. strength 42. A. linking
