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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Before the mid-nineteenth century， people in the United States ate most foods only in season. Drying， smoking， and salting could keep meat for a short time， but the chance of eating fresh meat and drinking fresh milk was very limited； there was no way to keep food from going bad. But in 1810 a French inventor named Nicolas Appert developed the cooking-and-sealing technique of canning（罐头制造）. And in the 1850s an American named Gall Borden developed a means of keeping milk fresh. Canned foods and condensed milk（炼乳）became more common during the 1860s， but supplies remained low because cans had to be made by hand. By 1880， however， inventors had developed modern machines that mass-produced cans from tinplate. Suddenly all kinds of food could be kept and bought at all times of the year.

Other inventions had also helped make it possible for Americans to change their daily diets. Growing populations increased food demand and stimulated fruit and vegetable farmers to raise more produce. Railroad refrigerator cars made it possible to ship fruits and packed fresh meat to faraway places without worrying they would go bad. Thus， by the 1890s northern city settlers could enjoy southern and western strawberries， grapes， and tomatoes， for a month at most in the past， for up to six months of the year. Besides， increased use of iceboxes made it possible for families to store food which could easily go bad. An easy means of producing ice had been invented in the 1870s， and by 1900 the nation had more than two thousand ice plants， most of which made home deliveries（运送）. The icebox became common equipment in most homes and remained so until the refrigerator replaced it in the 1920s and 1930s. Almost everyone now has a variety of diet.

21. The underlined word “stimulated” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “___”.

A. encouraged B. persuaded C. protected D. enabled

22. What did the writer suggest about home deliveries of ice in the 1920s and 1930s？

A. They increased in cost. B. They reduced in number.

C. They became very common. D. They took place all the year.

23. Which of the following is supported by the passage？

A. Cans and iceboxes helped develop food supply.

B. Ice factories were developed by railroad refrigerator cars.

C. Most farmers in the United States raised fruits and vegetables.

D. People demanded home deliveries of variety of food and drink.

24. What does the passage mainly discuss？

A. Canned food. B. Production of iceboxes.

C. Causes of food going bad. D. Inventions that led to changes in food and drink.

B

From age eight to eleven， I attended a small school in Bath， England. It was a small school of four classes with about twenty-five children in each class according to age.

For the most part， one teacher had to teach all subjects to the children in the class. However， sometimes the headmaster， Mr Ronald Broaches， would come in and spend an hour or so， teaching some subjects in which he was especially interested. He was a large man with a very happy nature. He had a sense of humor and would delight in telling the children small stories that would make us laugh. He was a very fair man and had a great influence on many of the children.

In my own case， I found that he took great interest in me and he quickly found that I enjoyed puzzles（智力游戏）. He would often stop me as I was going to class and take a piece of paper out of his pocket， often with a puzzle already on it. The puzzles were usually mathematical or logical（符合逻辑的）. As time went on， they slowly got more difficult， but I loved them. Not only that， they made me interested in math and problem solving that stays with me to this day. They also served to show me that intellectual activity was rewarding（有益的）when the correct answers were found， but perhaps more importantly it was great fun.

To this day， I can remember Mr Broaches cheerful cry of “Well done！” whenever I got a problem right. The simple communication with a man whom I loved greatly has had a deep influence on my life. Mr Broaches died just two weeks after I had won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Unluckily， I had no chance to speak to him before he died. I learnt later that he had heard of my success and I would always hope that he knew the deep influence he had made on my life.

25. What can we learn about the headmaster Mr Ronald Broaches？

A. His puzzles made the students laugh. B. He never taught in the school.

C. His puzzles made the writer enjoy math. D. The students were afraid of him.

26. Why did the writer feel sorry？

A. Mr Broaches had passed away before he won the Nobel Prize.

B. He didnt express his thanks before Mr Broaches died.

C. He couldnt find Mr Broaches after he grew up.

D. Mr Broaches didnt know his success.

27. What is the best title for the text ？

A. My Early School Life B. The Story of Mr Broaches

C. An Important Teacher in My Life D. The Story of a Nobel Prize Winner

Fish Ears Tell Fish Tales

Fish have ears. Really. Theyre quite small and have no opening to the outside world carrying sound through the body. For the past seven years， Simon Thorrold， a university professor， has been examining fish ears， small round ear bones called otoliths（内耳石）.

As fish grow， so do their otoliths. Each day， their otoliths get a ring of calcium carbonate（碳酸钙）. By looking through a microscope and counting these rings， Thorrold can determine the exact age of a young fish. As a fish gets older， its otoliths no longer get daily rings. Instead， they get yearly rings， which can also be counted， giving information about the fishs age， just like the growth rings of a tree.

Ring counting is nothing new to fish scientists. But Thorrold has turned to a new direction. Theyre examining the chemical elements of each otolith ring.

The daily ring gives us the time， but chemistry tells us about the environment in which the fish swam on any given day. These elements tell us about the chemistry of the water that the fish was in. It also says something about water temperature， which determines how much of these elements will gather within each otolith ring.

Thorrold can tell， for example， if a fish spent time in the open ocean before entering the less salty water of coastal areas. He can basically tell where fish are spending their time at any given stage of history.

In the case of the Atlantic croaker， a popular saltwater food fish， Thorrold and his assistants have successfully followed the travelling of young fish from mid-ocean to the coast， a journey of many hundreds of miles.

This is important to managers in the fish industry， who know nearly nothing about the whereabouts（行踪）of the young fish for most food fish in the ocean. Wanting to learn about his technology so much， fish scientists are now lending Thorrold their ears.

28. What can we learn about fish ears from Paragraph 1？

A. They are small soft rings. B. They arent seen from the outside.

C. They are openings only on food fish. D. They arent used to receive sound.

29. Why does the writer compare the fish to trees？

A. Trees get a growth ring each day. B. Trees also have otoliths.

C. Both of their growth rings are very small. D. They both have growth rings.

30. Why is it important to study the chemistry of otolith rings of fish？

A. Scientists can know exactly how old a fish is.

B. The elements of the otoliths can tell the history of the sea.

C. We can know more about fish and their living environment.

D. Chemical findings of otoliths can tell how fast fish can swim.

31. The underlined part in the last paragraph most probably means the scientists ___ .

A. wonder if Thorrold can find growth rings from their ears

B. are paying attention to in Thorrolds research findings

C. want to know where they can find fish

D. lend their fish for chemical studies

D

Ed Viesturs grew up in Rockford， Illinois， where the tallest thing on the horizon was the water tower. But on Thursday， Viesturs became the only American to climb to the top of the worlds 14 highest mountains.

His last hike was up on Mount Annapurna， in Asias snow-capped Himalayas. At 26，545 feet， its peak is the 10th highest in the world. It is the mountain that inspired（激励）him to start climbing.

“It is likely to be the trickiest， the most dangerous，” said Viesturs， “Theres no simple way to climb it. There are threatening avalanches（雪崩）and ice falls that protect the mountain.”

In high school， Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzogs tale of climbing the icy Annapurna. Herzogs story was of frostbite （冻伤）and difficulty and near-death experiences. Viesturs was hooked right away.

Viesturs got his start on Washingtons Mount Rainier in 1977， guiding hikes in the summer. Fifteen years ago， he set out to walk up to the worlds highest peaks. Finally， hes done.

The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with respect. “You have to use all of your senses， all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it，” said Viesturs. “If we have the patience and the respect， and if were here at the right time， under the right circumstances， they allow us to go up， and allow us to come down.”

Whats next for a man who cant stop climbing？ “Im going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back and enjoy the summer，” says Viesturs. But for a man whos climbed the worlds 14 tallest mountains， he will probably soon set off on yet another adventure.

32. What record has Ed Viesturs set？

A. He has been to the top of the worlds 14 highest mountains.

B. He has become the first to climb to the height of 26，545 feet.

C. He has succeeded in climbing to the worlds 14th highest mountain.

D. He has become the first man to climb to the top of 14 highest mountains in the world.

33. The underlined word “hooked” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “___”.

A. upset B. frightened C. interested D. discouraged

34. What view does the author want to support by using Viesturs words in Paragraph 6？

A. Mountain climbing is a dangerous sport.

B. Mountains should be regarded as living creatures.

C. Mountain climbing needs more skills than physical energy.

D. Mountain climbing is welcomed by people who wont stop climbing.

35. Whats the next probably plan of Viesturs？

A. Stopping climbing and staying with his family. B. Writing down the experiences about his adventure.

C. Climbing another one of the highest mountains. D. Climbing to the top of the worlds 14 highest mountains again.

36 She described all the things she had to do—one was to make her bed—from the moment she woke up until she flew out of the door for work. I suggested she experiment by not making her bed for two weeks. She was shocked， probably thinking Id been raised by wolves in a forest. 37

Two weeks later she went into my office beaming（眉开眼笑）. She had left her bed unmade for the first time in 42 years—and nothing bad had happened. “And you know what？” she said， “I dont dry my dishes anymore， either.”

38 One was discovering that she had choices in her life that she had never seen before. The other was giving herself permission to be less that perfect. This story shows an important principle about managing time： No one can do it all. Each of us has to make choices and accept trade-offs（交易）. The problem is， many people choose in ways that put themselves and their health last. They take better care of their houses and cars than they do of themselves. 39

So what is the solution？ Theres an easy way. Decide what you want in your life， and put that first. On a daily basis， that should include regular meals， enough sleep and time with your family. 40 The choice is yours： whatever makes you feel good about yourself and your life. Take a nap. Take a walk. Stop keeping your house as clean as your mother kept hers. Fill more of your time with want-to-dos instead of have-to-dos.

A. However， she went along with my idea.

B. This woman had made two major breakthroughs.

C. Most people do not take time to relax themselves.

D. They put everyone elses needs ahead of their own.

E. A patient came to see me about the stress in her life.

G. Above all， you neednt do anything else for yourself regularly.
