第二部分:阅读理解(第一节20小题,第二节5小题;每小题2分,满分50分)

A
(2012浙江,A)
Easter(复活节)is still a great day for worship,candy in baskets and running around the yard finding eggs,but every year it gets quite a bit worse for bunnies.
And no,not because the kids like to pull their ears.The culprit is climate change,and some researchers found that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five species of rabbit in the US.
Take the Lower Keys Marsh rabbit,for instance.An endangered species that lives in the Lower Florida Keys,this species of cottontail is a great swimmer — it lives on the islands!— but it is already severely affected by development and now by rising sea levels.According to the Center for Biological Diversity,an ocean level rise of only 0.6 meters will send these guys jumping to higher ground and a 0.9-meter rise would wipe out their habitat(栖息地) completely.
The snowshoe hare,on the other hand,has a color issue.Most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer,each designed to give them better cover from predators(捕食者).As the number of days with snow decreases all across the country,however,more and more bunnies are being left in white fur during brown dirt days of both fall and spring,making them an easier mark for predators.Researchers know that the color change is controlled by the number of hours of sunlight,but whether the rabbit will be able to adapt quick enough to survive is a big question.The National Wildlife Federation has reported that hunters have noticed their numbers are already markedly down.
American pikas or rock rabbits,a relative of rabbits and hares,might be the first of these species to go extinct due to climate change.About 7-8 inches long,pikas live high in the cool,damp mountains west of the Rocky Mountains.As global temperatures rise,they would naturally migrate(迁移)to higher ground — but they already occupy the mountaintops.They can’t go any higher.The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their habitat heats up.
The volcano rabbit has the same problem.These rabbits live on the slopes of volcanoes in Mexico,and recent studies have shown that the lower range of their habitat has already shifted upward about 700 meters,but there are not suitable plants for them to move higher,so they are stuck in the middle.Scientists are concerned about their populations.
Native to the US,pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American West.They are believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world.Their habitats have been destroyed by development.Several populations,such as the Columbia Basin pygmy,almost went extinct and were saved by zoo breeding programs.Pygmy rabbits also rely on winter cover by digging tunnels through the snow to escape predators,but lesser snowfall is leaving them exposed.
All of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume this Easter.
41.The writer mentions Easter at the beginning of the passage in order to 　　　. 
A.show the importance of Easter Day
B.introduce the issue about bunnies
C.remind people of Easter traditions
D.discuss the relationship between Easter and bunnies
42.The word “culprit”(Paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to 　　　. 
A.criminal B.judge
C.victim D.producer
43.According to the passage,some rabbits can now be easily discovered by predators because they 　　　. 
A.are exposed to more skillful hunters
B.have moved to habitats with fewer plants
C.haven’t adapted themselves to climate change
D.can’t change their fur color into white in the fall and the spring
44.The problem faced by volcano rabbits and rock rabbits is that 　　　. 
A.both are affected by less snow
B.both are affected by rising sea levels
C.neither can find enough food
D.neither can migrate to higher places
45.Which best describes the writer’s tone in the passage?
A.Approving.
B.Concerned.
C.Enthusiastic.
D.Doubtful.

Below is a selection about some Guinness(吉尼斯) World Records.

Top 6 Unusual Guinness World Records
◆Fastest 100 m running on all fours
The 2008 Guinness World Records Day was,according to GWR,their biggest day of record-breaking ever,with more than 290,000 people taking part in record attempts in 15 different countries.Kenichi Ito’s record attempt was part of this special day.He is just another example of Japanese with “super powers”.His “super power” is to run with great speed on all fours.Kenichi Ito ran 100 m on all fours in 18.58 seconds.The Japanese set this record at Setagaya Kuritsu Sogo Undojyo,Tokyo,in 2008.
◆Most people inside a soap bubble
The Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana,California celebrated this year the 15th anniversary of the Bubble(泡泡)Festival.A bubble’s math principles and science were presented and demonstrated at the three-week-long exhibition.The intriguing Bubble Show was also part of the program.Fan Yang and Deni Yang impressed the audience with their awesome skills for bubble making.The Yang family cooperated with the Discovery Science Center to set a new Guinness World Record for most people inside a soap bubble and they succeeded.
The family that has been working with soap bubbles for 27 years created a huge soap bubble and got 118 people inside it.The record was set on April 4,2011.
◆Longest ears on a dog
A bloodhound from Illinois has the longest ears ever measured on a dog.The right ear is 13.75 inches long and the left one 13.5 inches.The dog named Tigger earned this title in 2004 and is owned by Christina and Bryan Flessner.
Mr.Jeffries is the previous record holder of this title.Each of his ears measured approximately 11.5 inches long.His grandfather used to hold this amazing world record,but when he died Mr.Jeffries took over.
◆Most living generations
Did you ever wonder what is the Guinness World Record for most living generations in one family?Seven is the answer.
The ultimate authority on record-breaking mentions on the website that the youngest great-great-great-great grandparent of this family was Augusta Bung “aged 109 years 97 days,followed by her daughter aged 89,her granddaughter aged 70,her great grand-daughter aged 52,her great-great grand-daughter aged 33 and her great-great-great granddaughter aged 15 on the birth of her great-great-great-great grandson on January 21,1989”.
◆Most T-shirts worn at once
Believe it or not,there is a record also for this category.Krunoslav Budiseli set a new world record on May 22,2010 for wearing 245 T-shirts at the same time.The man from Croatia was officially recognized as the new record holder by Guinness World Records after he managed to put on 245 different T-shirts in less than two hours.The T-shirts weighed 68 kg and Budiseli said he began struggling around T-shirt No.120.He dethroned the Swedish Guinness record holder who wore 238 T-shirts.

(2012浙江,C)
Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever,even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started.Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country.In fact,according to an official report on youth violence,“In our country today,the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment,but the terrible reality of violence”.Given that this is the case,why aren’t students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems,drive cars,or stay physically fit?
First of all,students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable.A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult(侮辱).For example,a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime.Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults,which in turn can lead to violence.The problem isn’t in the sandwich,but in the way students deal with the conflict.
Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable,they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution(解决):stay calm.Once the student feels calmer,he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well.Rude words,name-calling,and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire.On the other hand,soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.
After both sides have calmed down,they can use another key strategy(策略) for conflict resolution:listening.Listening allows the two sides to understand each other.One person should describe his or her side,and the other person should listen without interrupting.Afterward,the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker’s position.Then the two people should change roles.
Finally,students need to consider what they are hearing.This doesn’t mean trying to figure out what’s wrong with the other person.It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish.For example,a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things.Students need to ask themselves questions such as these:How did this start?What do I really want?What am I afraid of?As the issue becomes clearer,the conflict often simply becomes smaller.Even if it doesn’t,careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.
There will always be conflict in schools,but that doesn’t mean there needs to be violence.After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program,according to Educators for Social Responsibility,“64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom;75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation;and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves”.Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends,teachers,parents,bosses,and coworkers.In that way,conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.
50.This article is mainly about 　　　. 
A.the lives of school children
B.the cause of arguments in schools
C.how to analyze youth violence
D.how to deal with school conflicts
51.From Paragraph 2 we can learn that 　　　. 
A.violence is more likely to occur at lunchtime
B.a small conflict can lead to violence

A.To find out who is to blame.
B.To get ready to try new things.
C.To make clear what the real issue is.
D.To figure out how to stop the shouting match.
53.After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta,it was found that 　　　. 
A.there was a decrease in classroom violence
B.there was less student cooperation in the classroom
C.more teachers felt better about themselves in schools
D.the teacher-student relationship greatly improved
54.The writer’s purpose for writing this article is to 　　　. 
A.complain about problems in school education

(2012浙江,D)
As a young boy,I sometimes traveled the country roads with my dad.He was a rural mail carrier,and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him.Driving through the countryside was always an adventure:There were animals to see,people to visit,and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop,and Dad did.
In the spring,Dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens,and when I was a boy it was such fun to stick your fingers through one of the holes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck on your fingers.
On Dad’s final day of work,it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailbox to thank him for his friendship and his years of service.“Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route,”he used to say,“and a story at every one.”One lady had no mailbox,so Dad took the mail in to her every day because she was nearly blind.Once inside,he read her mail and helped her pay her bills.
Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail.One note left in a mailbox read,“Nat,take these eggs to Marian;she’s baking a cake and doesn’t have any eggs.”Mailboxes might be buried in the snow,or broken,or lying on the ground,but the mail was always delivered.On cold days Dad might find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate.A young girl wrote letters but had no stamps,so she left a few buttons on the envelope in the mailbox;Dad paid for the stamps.One businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank.Once,the amount came to $32,000.
A dozen years ago,when I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dad’s death,the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories.I thought I knew them all,but that wasn’t the case.
As I drove home,I noticed two lamp poles,one on each side of the street.When my dad was around,those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground.One box was painted green,and the other was red,and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering:SANTA CLAUS,NORTH POLE.For years children had dropped letters to Santa through those holes.
I made a turn at the corner and drove past the post office and across the railroad trucks to our house.Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table when I heard footsteps.There,at the door,stood Frank Townsend,Dad’s postmaster and great friend for many years.So we all sat down at the table and began to tell stories.
At one point Frank looked at me with tears in his eyes.“What are we going to do about the letters this Christmas?”he asked.
“The letters?”
“I guess you never knew.”
“Knew what?”
“Remember,when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to Santa in those green and red boxes on Main Street?It was your dad who answered all those letters every year.”
I just sat there with tears in my eyes.It wasn’t hard for me to imagine Dad sitting at the old oak table in our basement reading those letters and answering each one.I have since spoken with several of the people who received Christmas letters during their childhood,and they told me how amazed they were that Santa had known so much about their homes and families.”
For me,just knowing that story about my father was the gift of a lifetime.
55.It can be inferred from the passage that the writer regarded his travels with Dad as 　　　. 
A.great chances to help other people
B.happy occasions to play with baby chickens
C.exciting experiences with a lot of fun
D.good opportunities to enjoy chocolate cookies
56.The writer provides the detail about the businessman to show that 　　　. 
A.Dad had a strong sense of duty
B.Dad was an honest and reliable man
C.Dad had a strong sense of honor
D.Dad was a kind and generous man
57.According to the passage,which of the following impressed the writer most?
A.Dad read letters for a blind lady for years.
B.Dad paid for the stamps for a young girl.
C.Dad delivered some eggs to Marian.
D.Dad answered children’s Christmas letters every year.
58.The method the writer uses to develop Paragraph 4 is 　　　. 
A.offering analyses
B.providing explanations
C.giving examples
D.making comparisons
59.What surprised the children most when they received letters in reply from Santa Claus every year?
A.Santa Claus lived alone in the cold North Pole.
B.Santa Claus answered all their letters every year.
C.Santa Claus had unique mailboxes for the children.

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

A.Slow Down Your Life
B.Escape Now and Then
C.Separate Your Actions
D.Allow Yourself to Be Weak
E.Relieve Pressure by Firmly Saying “No”
F.Stop Expecting Everything to Be Perfect
How to Simplify Your Life
Less is more.This is why we say:reduce things by half instead of doubling them,get rid of junk instead of piling it up,relax instead of stressing,slow down instead of speeding up.Apply these principles in your everyday life in a conscious way.You will then find yourself well along on your journey to simplification.
61.　　 
When you concentrate on one task,you find you have energy that you didn’t even know you had.Just imagine:you are at a fair and you have to carry two heavy pigs over 100 yards.If you keep grabbing one and then the other,it will take forever,because one of them will keep slipping out from under your arm and running off.But if you tie one pig in a place,pick up the other,gather all your strength and make a dash for the finish line,pause for a moment,run back and get the other one,and with great determination,carry the second pig to the finish line,then you can be sure of success.
62.　　 
The pressure at work is on the increase in all occupations.In the modern nuclear family,the expectations that formerly would have been shared among all the relatives are now concentrated on the individual partner.
If you have the feeling that 24 hours per day are not enough for all the things you need to do,then it’s not because the day has too few hours,but because you have too many activities.A simple fact that overloaded people often tend to forget.The solution is equally simple:refuse to accept so many work assignments in your private life or your working life.
63.　　 
“I can handle stress” is regarded as a positive statement in the world of work.People who can handle stress are given more and more to cope with — until one day they break.
Pay careful attention to the signs that tell you that you are under more stress than you can cope with.These signals can come from various areas of life.You become ill,or your work efficiency decreases.
If you have any of these symptoms,change your life goals and decrease your tolerance of stress.Say quite openly,“I can’t manage that.”
64.　　 
“If only I were slimmer,more beautiful,richer,more clever,then I would be happier.”This is a dream that makes a lot of people ill,depressed,and unhappy.Life has its flaws,defects,corners,and edges.Only those who accept this reality can lead a really full life.
Of course there are activities in which errors are dangerous:driving a car,crossing the road.But life doesn’t consist entirely of these things.In among them there is a lot of room for small and large mistakes.
65.　　 
Successful people all have their own places where they can withdraw in order to work.Find out which places improve your creativity.For me it’s the train.When I know that I’m going to be traveling for four hours without phone calls and people knocking on my door,I find my mind is free and I can read or write complex articles.There can be problems working on the train,of course:if the person sitting opposite you keeps talking away,or if train trips make you tired(some people fall asleep after a few miles).

Two years before,I traveled to Brazil and I rented for a car.Unfortunate,I had an accident and hit another car,and I needed to stay in a hospital for at least two week.I called my parents,so I did not tell them what had happened.I knew that they will be worried about myself because I was so farther away,and that my mother would not sleep if she knew.Therefore,I told them interested stories and how I was enjoying Brazil.As a result,nobody knew truth.I still think that it was the right thing to do.

2.C　考查冠词。process是一个可数名词,此处用不定冠词修饰,表示“一个逐步的过程”;第二个空后面的human existence是抽象名词,前面不需要加任何冠词。
3.D　考查非谓语动词。when在此处引导定语从句修饰times,在when引导的从句中,it是形式主语,真正的主语是动词不定式to remain silent,表示“有时保持沉默更好”。
4.C　考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知,that在此处引导同位语从句,解释说明promise的内容。that引导同位语从句时,不作成分,也不可省略。
5.A　考查代词。分析句子结构可知,代词those在此处替代前面出现的many of the items,注意类比的对象一定要在数上保持一致。
6.B　考查介词。句意:在我养过的所有动物中,这两只狗是对口头语言最为敏感的。of在此处表示范围,意为“在……之中”。
7.C　考查名词。句意:如果你养成思考如何学习的习惯,作为学生,你的表现将会是优秀的。operation“操作,运转,经营”;growth“成长”;performance“表现,行为,成就”;character“性格,特征”。
8.D　考查非谓语动词。该句中出现了either ... or ...这个并列结构,either后面是动词原形study,or后面也应该是动词原形quit,故选择D项。
9.B　考查定语从句。句意:我们生活在一个比以往更容易获得信息的时代。when引导的定语从句修饰an age。
10.A　考查形容词。句意:这项研究缺乏可靠的证据,因此,其结论是令人怀疑的。solid“可靠的,可信赖的”;fierce“强烈的,极度的”;severe“非常的,严重的”;potential“潜在的,可能的”。
11.D　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处应用非谓语动词修饰table,“桌子”是“被预订或保留”的,所以用过去分词短语作后置定语。
12.D　考查动词。句意:据科学家们说,我们大脑的能力在22岁达到最高水平后,从27岁开始下降。differ“不同,有异”;shrink“变小,减少,收缩”;fail “(健康、体力、视力等)衰退,减弱”;decline“下降,衰退,减退”。
13.B　考查动词时态。分析句意可知,but后面陈述的是一个过去的事实,所以用一般过去时。
14.C　考查副词短语。句意:布朗说他一点儿也不恼火,相反,他很高兴能够让别人清楚地理解他的想法。all in all“总而言之,总的说来”;for one thing“首先,一则”;on the contrary “(与此)相反,正相反”;by the way“顺便说说,顺便提起”。
15.B　考查动词短语。句意:有了你积累的这些信息,你可以开始着手准备你的经营计划了。set out“着手,开始”,后面接动词不定式;set about“开始做某事”,后面接动词-ing形式;set off“出发,动身”;set up“建立,创立,竖立”。
16.A　考查动词时态。问句用现在进行时表示将来的动作“你会和我们一起来吗”,答语为“我很想(和你们一起去),但意外的事情发生了”。显然应用现在完成时表示“已经发生”。
17.B　考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,从句缺少的是主语,排除C项和D项;根据句意可知,定语从句修饰的是a painter,所以用who来引导。
18.A　考查连词。句意:迈克通常特别细心,然而这次他犯了一个小错误。前后两句显然是转折关系,故用yet表示“然而”。
19.D　考查虚拟语气。句意:如果他们知道接下来会发生什么,他们可能就会再三考虑了。表示与过去事实相反的虚拟,主句用“might/could/should/would+have done”。
20.C　考查日常交际用语。根据下文的句子“I wish I could get away for a while.”可判断,此处表示“我真的很羡慕你”。A项表示“没关系,不要紧”;B项表示“没关系”;D项表示“我完全同意”。
21.B　此处的副词是修饰动词wrapped,根据全文内容可知只有使用carefully才能表现出送伞人对这把伞的爱惜之情。
22.A　根据常识可知,只有打开盒子,才能看到里面装的东西。
23.D　前后两句在内容上存在转折关系,所以用although表示“虽然他有20多年没有看到过这把伞了,但他立刻认出了它”。
24.C　根据下文内容可知,奥斯卡对这把伞印象十分深刻,所以用immediately表示虽然多年未见,但一眼就能认出来。
25.B　根据文章内容可知,这把伞对奥斯卡来说是不同寻常的,所以用unusual来修饰。

30.C　根据下文的句子“He rang the bell,the door opened”可知,奥斯卡和他的爷爷奶奶从雨伞的主人家路过,并亲自上门送伞。
31.B　根据常识可知,在英语中“May I help you?”是一个常见的交际用语,表示“要我帮忙吗?”。
32.D　hold out在此处意为“拿出”,既然想要把伞归还给主人,自然要先把伞拿出来。
33.C　因为奥斯卡很喜欢这把伞,很想亲自把伞送还给主人,所以他拿伞的方式就像是赠送一份被渴望已久的礼物。
34.A　根据下文的shining eyes以及老妇人说的话可知,看到自己的伞,老妇人十分高兴,脸上露出灿烂的笑容。
35.B　奥斯卡主动寻找雨伞的主人并亲自送回主人手中,这是一种善意的行为。故选择kindness。
36.C　老妇人对奥斯卡的话非常赞同,并说:“那正是我父亲过去常说的话。”

书面表达
In the English Reading Week,one of my classmates recommended a quote to us,which goes like this:“Your future depends on many things,but mostly on you.”I can’t agree more with this view.It’s true that our future is determined by many things,such as opportunities and help from others,but our own attitude,determination,and hard work play a more important role.In other words,we are the master of our own future.
Take Abraham Lincoln,for example.He was born in a poor family,and only received a limited education in his childhood.Yet through his painstaking efforts,he changed not only his own fate but also the history of America.Even to this day,Lincoln is regarded as one of the most inspiring figures in the world.Therefore,I firmly believe that our future is in our own hands.
