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）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。ain many situations, the quality of your travel experience is directly affected by your ability to understand the local language. for some travelers, the challenge of learning a new tongue is one of the joys of travel, and as a result, they spend much of their time in conversations with local citizens. others will find that just learning to read the most common signs and use every-day greetings is enough. no matter which view you agree with, its necessary to take some time to learn some of the simple phrases of the new language before you go. one way of finishing this task is by listening to the new language. a phrase book can help expand your vocabulary, but hearing the sounds of the different spoken words is an excellent activity that can be done right in the comfort of your home. you can see movies in the new language or listen to the tapes or cds. you can also download some listening material from the internet. just spending 15 minutes a night will improve your language skills. when you arrive in the new land, begin by greeting new friends in their own tongue. this may come easy or it could take some time to learn, but its interesting. if you cant do this, then it means that you will need more practice and patience to learn these very important words. you can go out during the day and begin one-on-one conversations with shop owners, business-men and taxi drivers. this should not be done until you have learned some of the most common phrases, but once you begin to go shopping in a second language your communication skills will start to improve rapidly. you can also watch the local tv or listen to the local radio. for example, the advertisements will help you recognize the correct pronunciation of local street names. 21. whats the text mainly about?a. how important it is to learn a new language.b. how to learn a new language during travel.c. how to enjoy oneself during travel.d. how to prepare for travel.22. one should start one-on-one conversations with the local people _.a. as soon as he arrives in the place he is visiting b. after he has seen many movies in the local tongue c. when he has learned some of the most common phrasesd. after he has mastered enough vocabulary to go shopping 23. according to the author, the local advertisements can help travelers _.a. learn more about local business b. understand the local peoples dialogues c. improve communication skills more rapidlyd. know the right pronunciation of the street names bi was never very neat while my roommate kate was extremely organized. each of her objects had its place，but mine always hid somewhere. she even labeled(贴标签)everything. i always looked for everything. over time，kate got neater and i got messier. she would push my dirty clothing over，and i would lay my books on her tidy desk. we both got tired of each other.war broke out one evening. kate came into the room. soon，i heard her screaming，“take your shoes away! why under my bed! ”deafened，i saw my shoes flying at me. i jumped to my feet and started yelling. she yelled back louder.the room was filled with anger. we could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. kate answered it. from her end of the conversation，i could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. when she hung up，she quickly crawled(爬)under her covers，sobbing. obviously，that was something she should not go through alone. all of a sudden，a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.slowly，i collected the pencils，took back the books，made my bed，cleaned the socks and swept the floor，even on her side. i got so into my work that i even didnt notice kate had sat up. she was watching，her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. then，she reached out her hands to grasp mine. i looked up into her eyes. she smiled at me，“thanks.”kate and i stayed roommates for the rest of the year. we didnt always agree，but we learned the key to living together: giving in，cleaning up and holding on.24what made kate so angry one evening?ashe couldnt find her books. bshe heard the author shouting loud.cshe got the news that her grandma was ill.dshe saw the authors shoes beneath her bed.25the author tidied up the room most probably because_.ashe was scared by kates anger bshe hated herself for being so messycshe wanted to show her care dshe was asked by kate to do so26how is paragraph 1 mainly developed?aby analyzing causes. bby showing differences.cby describing a process. dby following time order.27what might be the best title for the story?amy friend kate bhard work pays offchow to be organized dlearning to be roommatescthink about the longest elevator ride that youve ever taken. whether you rose five floors or 100, it probably took less than a few minutes. now imagine riding in an elevator higher and higher as it climbs for nearly a day. when you reach the top floor, prepare for views that are really out of this world. youll be in space!space elevators might sound like a crazy idea, but theyre something scientists have been working on for decades. why would anyone want a space elevator? at the moment, riding in a capsule is the only way ordinary people can get to and from space. but those rides are very expensive about $25 million per person per flight. researchers are still figuring out the details about how a space elevator might work. one idea is stretching (伸展) a very long cable more than 37,000 kilometers up to space from the earths equator (赤道). the location is important: objects in space above the equator orbit (绕的轨道飞行) the earth at the same speed that our planet turns. a weight on the end of the cable would stretch it tight. an elevator tied to the cable could use it to climb up and down.the only problem is that besides being long, this cable must also be very strong. storms, including hurricanes might break it. one way to solve this problem is to stretch the cable from the moon instead of from the earth. airplanes designed to climb higher than a typical jet might take off from the earth and link up with the cable, which would be held in place by the pull of gravity from the earth. an elevator car waiting there would then take riders the rest of the way to the moon. fueled by solar power, the elevator could transport people and materials without much expense or effort per ride.so, when will you be taking your first space-elevator ride? probably not for a while.28. the first paragraph is presented by _.a. giving an example b. making a comparisonc. asking questions d. analyzing causes29. why have scientists been working on space elevators?a. to make trips to space cheaper.b. to help astronauts do research in space.c. to find a more convenient way to the moon.d. to prove an assumption which seems crazy. 30. the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refers to _.a. the cable b. the equator c. an object in space d. a weight on the end of the cable31. what may make the cable stay in place on the moon?a. the elevator car on the moon. b. the elevator fastened to the cable.c. the pull of gravity from the earth. d. the speed of the moon orbiting the earth. d “it is obvious that china will climb up university rankings in the years to come.” this statement from phil baty, editor of the times higher education world university rankings, lines up with chinas optimism that it will produce world-class universities. but there are still difficulties to overcome, experts say.universities from chinas mainland slipped in the 2011-2012 times global rankings. peking university dropped 12 places from last year to 49th, and tsinghua university fell to 71st place. among asian universities, peking is ranked no. 4 and tsinghua no. 8.a combination of factors determines rankings research output, study environment, reputation and international outlook. due to chinas economic development, investment (投入) in education and research has increased, but the quality of education and research in chinese academia seems not to have kept pace. the gauge (判定标准) is the number of papers published in highly respected english-language journals, so while many papers are being produced in china, it appears not all are good enough to attract international attention. still, higher education in china is developing quickly, thanks in part to huge government investment. china spent an amount equal to 3.69 percent of gdp on education last year, according to ministry of finance data.china has the largest and one of the fastest growing higher education systems in the world 2,723 schools for 31 million students. enrollment (入学人数) has increased more than four times from 2001 to 2011.32. whats phil batys attitude towards the future of chinese universities?a. unconcerned b. uncertain c. optimistic. d. worried.33. what was peking universitys place in the 2010 times global rankings?a. no. 4. b. no. 37. c. no. 49. d. no. 59.34. all the following are factors that determine a universitys ranking except _.a. the quantity of its published papers b. how good its study environment isc. the number of its graduates d. how well-known it is35. what is the problem with papers produced in china?a. lack of variety. b. lack of quality.c. not being translated well. d. not being tested enough.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。symbol of friendshipfriendship is a wonderful thing to have no matter how old you are. however, it is important for teens and young
