第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

If you’re new to a school or you are shy or tend to not get out of your comfort zone, making new friends at school might seem like a challenge. Luckily, you can overcome that challenge by looking for people with the same interests as you and by being friendly when you meet new people. Also, participate in after-school clubs and events whenever you get the chance, since that will help you meet people outside of class!

Look for people who have the same hobbies as you.

You’re more likely to be friends with someone if you have something in common with them. Try to find clubs or groups based on your favorite hobbies, then join them to meet like-minded people. Also, pay attention to people who spend their free time doing the same things you love to do.

If you’re a passionate reader, join a book club, go to public readings, or start a conversation with someone who carries novels around with their textbooks.

Spend time around people who show kindness.

Finding someone who will treat you well and support you is more important than popularity. Avoid spending time with people who talk bad about others or put them down. Instead, look for people who invite others to sit with them at lunch, who encourage others when they speak up in class, or who are always willing to help when someone needs a hand.

Introduce yourself to new people whenever possible.

When you’re around someone you don’t know, it is not unusual to just sit there quietly, especially if you’re shy. However, you and the other person will both be more comfortable after a simple introduction. Make eye contact with the person, smile, and try to seem warm and relaxed instead of nervous or anxious. Then, break the ice by talking about whatever is going on around you.

Keep the conversation going with open-ended questions.

When you start talking to someone, try asking them questions about what they like to see what you have in common with them. However, avoid simply asking yes or no questions, since one-word answers don’t necessarily keep a conversation alive. You can ask questions about whatever you’re already talking about, or you can change the subject if you feel that ran its course.

36．Who is the passage intended for?

A．Teachers. B．Students. C．Parents. D．Adults.

37．If you are fond of reading, you can ________.

A．join a club to make friends

B．approach people with lots of hobbies

C．spend your free time meeting different people

D．talk to people with the same interests

38．According to Paragraph 4, who is more likely to be a good friend?

A．One who enjoys the popularity.

B．One who talks bad about others.

C．One who wants to help you.

D．One who always put others down.

39．According to Paragraph 5, what should you do first when you meet someone you don’t know well?

A．Start with a warm handshake.

B．Make eye contact with the person.

C．Start with a brief introduction of yourself.

D．Start by talking about a serious topic.

40．You should avoid asking yes or no questions to ________.

A．keep the conversation going B．end the conversation

C．show kindness D．respect others

B

When I was a high school student, a close friend went to New Zealand as an exchange student and I was very curious. I wasn’t able to become an exchange student myself, but I began talking to my parents about possibility of becoming a host family to see it. Our school had an active AFS (American Field Service) chapter, so we got information about hosting a student through AFS.

After further exploration, we decided to go for it. We received a student’s brief introduction We looked over the pictures and her family and read the introduction. Her name was Simone and she was three years older than me, one year older than my brother. This was our student!

After informing AFs that we’d accept the student, we had the opportunity to call her on the phone and began writing to her. The accents of the Australian and American English were so different that we had a very hard time communicating. Thankfully, reading and writing each other’s letters was not a problem.

AFS began making the arrangements for Simone to come to America for her year as an exchange student. In August, we picked Simone up at the airport in St. Louis. During the year of Simone’s stay, we had our ups and downs. At first the accents were difficult. The first Sunday she attended church services with us, she didn’t understand anything that was said. Her Australian accent was very thick and she said we spoke too fast for her to follow our words. We, on the other hand, thought she spoke too fast and was difficult to understand. Learning to live with someone new isn’t always easy, but we managed.

Now, 18 years after first welcoming Simone into our family, she is still important to us. We have kept in close contact in the years since she left America. And the experience of being a host family for an exchange student during my high school is unforgettable for me.

41．According to the passage, we learn that the author ________.

A．has a strong desire to know about the exchange student

B．was an exchange student because of her excellence

A．It has many branches in Australia only.

B．It is the largest service organization in America.

C．It provides great help for hosting families.

D．It provides high quality services for exchange students at a high price,

44．What’s the possible order of the events related to being a host family for an exchange student? ________.

a. communicating with the exchange student

b. living together with the exchange student

c. reviewing exchange the student’s introductions

Old trains are very attractive and mysterious, whether it’s because of their history and their function or simply because they look so fierce and huge. Many old derailed trains have been transformed into anything like homes, art galleries and even amusement parks. As part of a recovery program to restore a failed railway, Ecuadorian design firm Al Borde transformed a tired, old train into a mobile cultural center, which they call “Wagon of Knowledge” (Vagon del Saber).

Selected by the Ecuadorian(厄瓜多尔)Ministry of Culture and Heritage, the community oriented project is to reactivate settlements along its route. After more than a decade of absence, these areas not only recover a means of communication but are enhanced economically, as the cultural promoters use the train car as an activator of public space and a meeting point for the locals. The multifunctional nature of the carriage — it is without a strictly defined architectural program and can therefore be designed flexibly — allows for musical performances, theater shows, training programs and celebrations.

The train was renovated(修复)to achieve the greatest number of uses with the minimum number of elements.

A public square and a theater with a capacity of 60-80 people, as well as work spaces for 20 users were incorporated by attaching three extensions to the train: a roof with several deployment( 部 署 )options, retractable furniture and two storage spaces — simple systems operated by the cultural romoters turn the cart into their desired requirements. Set to travel around the route, the cultural unit will begin to accumulate and facilitate new stories.

Intended to move from place to place without a strict set of limitations to define its use, it becomes something flexible that adapts to the needs of the moment, so that it “carries neither goods nor tourists, but culture and public space”. As we can see here, there are a lot of possibilities, thanks to various interchangeable components that can allow the train to shift from conference space to a performance venue in a snap.

It’s a creative way to give new life to a historically important train that was once even derailed, and to ensure that it can keep on serving the public. One more thing, people don’t have to go to this public space; it will travel to come to them.

46．Why did the design firm Al Borde carry out the project?

A．To boost the local tourism.

B．To sharpen rural people’s communication skills.

C．To bring communities along the railroad line to life.

D．To provide recreation for the community residents.

47．What makes the multipurpose train possible?

A．Advanced architectural design techniques.

B．The railway systems that are easy to operate.

C．Flexible construction features of the train car.

D．The financial assistance provided by cultural promoters.

48．How does the old train meet different requirements?

A．By extending the length of the carriage.

B．By adding three components to the train.

C．By freely changing the position of the roof.

D．By expanding the seating capacity of the train.

49．What can we know about “Wagon of Knowledge” from the passage?

A．It used to be the meeting point for the locals.

B．It can perform different working functions.

C．It was used to carry goods and tourists.

D．It will stay in one place to entertain locals

50．What does the author think about the project?

A．It is meaningful.

B．It is large-scale.

C．It is pioneering.

D．It is impressive.

The rapid pace of global warming and its effects on habitats raise the question of whether species are able to keep up so that they remain in suitable living conditions. Some animals can move fast to adjust to a quickly changing climate. Plants, being less mobile, rely on means such as seed dispersal (传播) by animals, wind or water to move to new areas, but this redistribution typically occurs within one kilometer of the original plant. Writing in Nature, Juan P. González-Varo sheds light on the potential capacity of migratory (迁徙的) birds to aid seed dispersal.

González-Varo and colleagues report how plants might be able to keep pace with rapid climate change through the help of migrating birds. They analyzed an impressive data set of 949 different seed-dispersal interactions between bird and plant communities, together with data on entire fruiting times and migratory patterns of birds across Europe.

The authors hypothesized (假定) that the direction of seed migration depends on how the plants interact with migratory birds, the frequency of these interactions or the number of bird species that might transport seeds from each plant species.

Perhaps the most striking feature of these inferred seed movements is the observation that 35 percent of plant species across European communities, which are closely related on the phylogenetic tree (进化树谱), might benefit from long-distance dispersal by the northward journey of migratory birds. This particular subset (小组) of plants tends to fruit over a long period of time, or has fruits that persist over the winter. This means that the ability of plants to keep up with climate change could be shaped by their evolutionary history – implying that future plant communities in the Northern Hemisphere (半球) will probably come from plant species that are phylogenetically closely related and that have migrated from the south.

This study provides a great example of how migratory birds might assist plant redistribution to new locations that would normally be difficult for them to reach on their own, and which might offer a suitable climate.

51．The rapid pace of global warming and its effect are mentioned in Paragraph 1 ________.

A．to call public attention to seed dispersal

B．to show the threat of climate change to human beings

C．to provide the background of González -Varo’s research

D．to explain why some animals can adapt to climate change

52．How could plants keep pace with the rapid climate change according to González-Varo?

A．With the help of wind and water.

B．With the help of migratory birds.

C．By adjusting themselves to the climate.

D．By relying on animals on land.

53．How did González-Varo and his colleagues conduct the research?

A．By analyzing related data.

B．By conducting field research.

C．By interviewing experts.

D．By reviewing findings of previous studies.

54．What can we infer from Paragraph 4?

A．Most plant species benefit from long-distance dispersal.

B．The evolutionary history of different plants is similar.

C．Plants with longer fruiting times adapt better when transported farther.

D．Plant communities in different hemispheres will become less related phylogenetically.

55．What could be the best title for the text?

A．Impacts of Climate Change on Migratory Birds.

B．Different Ways to Redistribute Plants to New Climates.

C．Plants Struggle to Keep Pace with Climate Change.

D．Migratory Birds Aid the Redistribution of Plants to New Climates.

第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Growing up poor and having parents who didn’t receive a good education, I often struggled at school. What was worse, my parents often moved to different places. They likely did not realize the damaging effects it had on my learning as they moved from apartment to apartment, year after year. I attended seven different schools from kindergarten through the 8th grade. With a fragmented (片段的) education, I entered high school, not doing well in literacy and math. But it was not until I attended a major public state university that I really understood the academic gaps that I had in comparison to my peers. I had to work particularly hard to not only understand the textbooks and lectures, but also catch myself up in basic skills of writing and comprehension. But I wasn’t the one to forgo. No matter how hard it was, I persisted.

Today, I have many degrees, three of them are Master’s Degrees and I am currently in my second year of studying for my doctorate in Educational Leadership.

I share my story for various reasons, but mainly due to the hope that another young child, possibly growing up poor, can realize that an education is the ticket to the quality of life. It can happen for that child. One can be successful! One can overcome all obstacles.

Some days will be extremely tougher than others and someday those accomplishments will glow (发光), but giving up is not a wise choice. It certainly won’t lead to the light at the end of the tunnel. Therefore, we should take advantage of the challenges and difficulties to make us stronger and reflect on how to beat all the differences. We should foster our thinking that current challenges have been designed to build upon our strength, not tear us down. In this way, we can fulfill our long-term goals.

56．What made the author’s study much worse when he was a child? (no more than 5 words)
