英语
第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分35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,
并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
The most welcome sight on a cold, wet winter night in London is the
familiar shape of a London taxi cab approaching with its yellow
hiresign shining brightly. That shows it is ready to pick you
up. Travelling by taxi in London is not just a way of going from one
place to another. It is an experience to be enjoyed and remembered.
The main reason for this is the drivers, who are called
“cabbies.” Many of them are true Cockneys. This means they were
born in the heart of London and speak their own special dialect (方
言)of English. All of them know every street and famous building
in the city, and all of them love to talk. A simple twenty-minute
journey across town can become very interesting. You may have a
discussion about the government and its leaders or a friendly
talk about the driver's Aunty Nellie! One thing is for sure, it will
never be boring. Cabbies know all the latest news about film
stars, the Royal Family, government leaders, and popular
singers or actors and actresses.
They also know the best places to eat, shop and relax. And they
can take you straight to any large hotel, department
store, theatre or museum. They know the shortest way
possible without even looking at a map, because everyone who wants
to become a taxi driver must pass a very difficult examination in
order to get a license to drive a taxi. The exam is called “The
Knowledge.” It is a written test, and in it drivers are asked the
shortest way from one place to another. They must take into account
the time of day --in rush hour, a longer route(路线) may be
quicker -- and describe the best way. Moreover they must never
forget the one-way streets!
21. From what can we tell that someone is a Cockney?
A. Their interest. B. Their manners. C. Their speech. D.
Their appearance.
22. What does the author suggest by mentioning “Aunty Nellie” in
paragraph 2?
A. Passengers are full of curiosity.
B. Cabbies’ topics are wide-ranging.
C. Aunty Nellie is popular in London.
D. Londoners are friendly to each other.
23. What is the purpose of “The Knowledge”?
A. To qualify one to drive a taxi. B.
To assess one’s driving skills.
C. To test drivers’ ability to write. D. To check taxi
drivers’ memory.
B
This month millions of American kids can forget
about classroom bells and set off
for grandparents' homes, sleep-away camps and lifeguard
stands. But summer vacation hasn't always been a birth right of
U.S. school children. Before the Civil War, schools operated
on one of two calendars (日历), neither of which included a summer
vacation. Rural (农村的)schooling was divided into summer and winter
terms, leaving kids free to help with the farm work in the spring
planting and fall harvest seasons. Urban
students, meanwhile, regularly had as many as 48 weeks of study a
year, with one break per quarter.
In the 1840s, however, educational reformers like Horace Mann
moved to combine the two calendars out of concern that rural schooling
was not enough and that overusing of young minds could lead to nervous
disorders. Summer appeared as the obvious time for a
break: it offered a rest for teachers, fit in the farming calendar
and reduced doctors' concern that packing students into hot
classrooms would promote the spread of disease.
But people’s opinion about the modern U.S. school year, which
averages 180 days, is still divided. Some experts say its pleasant
but lazy summer break, which took hold in the early 20th century, is
one of the reasons math skills and graduation rates of
U.S. high schoolers ranked well below average in two international
education reports published in 2007. Others insist that with children
under increasing pressure to devote their down time to internships
(实习)or study, there's still room for an institution that protects
the lazy days of childhood.
24. What did the rural school calendar before the Civil War allow
children to do?
A. Enjoy a summer vacation. B. Take a break each quarter.
C. Have 48 weeks of study a year. D. Assist their parents with farm
work.
25. What did the educational reformers do in the 1840s?
A. They introduced summer vacation.
B. They shortened rural school terms.
C. They promoted the study of farming.
D. They advocated higher pay for teachers.
26. Why are some people unhappy about the modem U.S. school year?
A. It pushes the teachers too hard. B. It reduces the quality
of education.
C. It ignores science instruction. D. It includes no time
for internships.
C
I start every summer with the best of intentions: to attack one
big book from the past, a classic that I was supposed to have read
when young and ambitious. Often the pairings of books and
settings have been purely accidental: “Moby Dick” on a three-day
cross-country train trip; “The Magic Mountain” in a New England
beach side cottage with no locks on the doors, no telephones or
televisions in the rooms, and little to do beyond row on the salt
pond. Attempting “The Man Without Qualities” on
a return to Hawaii, my native state, however, was less
fruitful: I made it through one and a quarter volumes (册), then
decided that I’d got the point and went swimming instead.
But this summer I find myself at a loss. I’m not quite interested
in Balzac, say, or “Tristram Shandy.” There’s always “War and
Peace,” which I've covered some distance several times, only
to get bogged down in the “War” part, set it aside for a
while, and realize that I have to start over from
the beginning again, having forgotten everyone’s name
and social rank. How appealing to simply fall back on a favorite -
once more into “The Waves”or “Justine,” which feels almost
like cheating, too exciting and too much fun to properly belong in
serious literature.
And then there’s Stendhal’s “The Red and the Black,” which
happens to be the name of my favorite cocktail(鸡尾酒) of the
summer, created by Michael Cecconi at Savoy and Back Forty. It is
easy to drink, and knocking back three or four seems like such a
delightful idea. Cecconi’s theory: “I take whatever’s fresh at the
green market and turn it into is a pure shot of
afternoon in the park, making one feel cheerful and peaceful all at
once, lying on uncut grass with eyes shut, sun beating through the
lids…
27. What can we infer about the author from the first paragraph?
A. He has a cottage in New England. B. He shows talents for
literature.
C. He enjoys reading when traveling. D. He admires a lot of
great writers.
28. What do the underlined words “get bogged down” in paragraph 2
mean?
A. Get confused. B. Be carried away.
C. Be interrupted. D. Make no progress.
29. Why does the author say reading his favorite books feels like
cheating?
A. He finishes them quickly. B. He should read something
serious.
C. He barely understands them. D. He has read them many times
before.
30. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Books of Summer B. My Summer Holidays
C. To Read or Not to Read D. It’s Never Too Late to Read
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。
Some people are so rude. Who sends an e-mail or a text message that
just says “Thank you” ? Who leaves a voice mail message rather than
texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found on the
Internet? 31
Maybe I'm the rude one for not appreciating life’s little courtesies
(礼节). But many social norms (规范) just don’t make sense to people
drowning in digital communication.
Take the thank-you note. Daniel Post Senning, a coauthor of Emily
Post’s Etiquette, asked, “At what point does showing appreciation
outweigh the cost?”
32 Think of how long it takes to listen to one
of those messages. In texts, you don’t have to declare who you are
or even say hello. E-mail, too, is slower than a text. The worst
are those who leave a voice mail and then send an e-mail message to
tell you they left a voice mail.
