阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分。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。 a in april 2014，the worlds oldest known message in a bottle was discovered floating in the baltic sea. it had spent 101 years lost in the ocean！the message was finally sent to the authors granddaughter. a german fisherman named konrad fischer found the brown bottle near kiel，germany. he said he nearly threw the bottle back into the water after pulling it out of a fishing net. then he noticed something inside.the bottle in good condition contained a danish postcard with two german stamps，dated may 17，1913. although dampness had made most of the writing illegible（字迹模糊的），the readable part of the message asked whoever found it to return it to an address in berlin. it even contained two stamps to pay for postage. from the address，researchers found that the postcard was written by a man named richard platz，who was 20 years old when he wrote the message. while he was hiking on the baltic coast with a nature appreciation group，he threw the bottle into the sea. then the researchers began a search for any living relatives of his. sure enough，they were able to find his 62-year-old granddaughter，angela erdmann，who still lives in berlin. “it was almost unbelievable，”erdmann said upon being presented with her grandfathers bottle and message.“that was a pretty moving moment. tears rolled down my face. erdmann never knew her grandfather，who died in 1946，but says that the discovery of the bottle has made her want to learn more about him. the bottle remained on display at the international maritime museum in hamburg until may1 after that，the researchers examined the postcard and tried to figure out the meaning of the rest of the message. previously，the oldest message found in a bottle spent nearly 98 years at sea and was discovered in april 2012，according to guinness world records.21 when konrad fischer picked up the bottle from the sea， a. he thought it would bring him good luck b. he noticed the postcard inside immediately c. he decided to uncover the secret of the bottle d. he wanted to throw it back into the sea at first22. why did richard platz throw the bottle with the message into the sea a. he expected his granddaughter could find the postcard. b. he wished the finder would send the postcard to his home. c. he believed his postcard would be kept secret at sea forever. d. he thought he could make friends with the finder of the bottle.23what can be the best title for this passage？ a. the finding of a floating bottle at the sea b. a one-century-old letter to a granddaughter c. the worlds oldest message in a floating bottle d. the oldest danish postcard in a floating bottle bhomework will not be a concern for pupils attending a pioneering new secondary school in norfolk. instead, the 1,100 children will stay longer at school, doing extra study at school as part of the extended school day, which could last until about 5 pm. rather than setting homework that pupils could struggle with at home, where there may be limited access to computers, they will do that as independent study in the day. when they go home they should enjoy quality family time. that has been really well received by parents who respect the fact that family time will be family time. but the school would still expect youngsters to study at home ahead of important exams. independent learning at school would ensure equality because kids who get help with homework from parents might rely on others too much. peter devonish , a teacher at the school, said, “having the children at school a bit longer to strengthen their learning is a really good idea, because they can have their time with the family.” but he warned. “a disadvantage is that our school is in the countryside, which means its not so perfect to get children home at that time.” mr. devonish said they also set pupils project-based homework, such as looking at an energy-efficient house, which allowed them to combine independent study with working with their parents. craig morrison, another teacher, said, “a large problem with homework has been that not enough is done with it. with homework, a lot of effort can go into it, so its about celebrating what children do rather than processing it in terms of marking it and handing it back.”24. how will students spend their longer days at school a. they will do homework on computers. b. they will study all by themselves. c. they will have fun with teachers. d. they will prepare for exams.25. why is the new idea well accepted by some parents a. because it helps kids with their homework. b. because kids will be educated well at school. c. because kids will enjoy quality family time. d. because parents can have more time to rest.26. what is mr. devonish worried about a. the students may get home late. b. no staff would like to stay till 5 pm. c. more teachers will be needed. d. the students may dislike the idea.27. the passage is mainly about _ . a. teachers who are asked to stay at school longer b. a school where children stay longer for homework c. homework which students have to deal with d. students who like spending time with teachers c around the world, girls do better than boys at school. these are the findings of a recent study that looked at the test results of l.5 million 15-year-old in 74 regions across the globethe level of gender equality in those regions made no difference to the resultsother factors, such as the income level of the region also had little impact on the findingsin only three regions - colombia, costa rica and the indian state hunches pradesh-was the trend reversed with boys doing better so what are the causes of girls stronger performance? in the uk, girls outperform boys in exams that are taken at the age of 1 5 or 16, called gcsesaccording to education expert ian toone, this is down to the way girls and boys are brought upboys are encouraged to be more active from an early age, while the restless movements of baby girls are pacifiedtherefore, girls develop the skill of sitting still for longer periods of time, which is useful for academic pursuits like studying for gcseshe goes on to say that boys often cluster together in larger groups than girlsbecause of this they are more likely to be influenced by peer pressure and develop a gang mentalityhe says that gcses require a lot of solo work and are not viewed as cool in a laddish culturethis is backed up by research in the uk that says girls are outperforming boys at the age of fiveso what is the answer? should girls and boys be educated separately? or do exams and school curricula need to be changed to better reflect boys skills? these are the questions facing educators in many countries. 28what can we learn from the first paragraph? agirls outperform boys in exams in most cases bboys do better in school in poorer areas c .girls do better if they are socially equal to boys d. boys are not working hard enough in exams,29according to ian toone, who might account for the phenomenon? adifferent characters and personalities b different attitudes to learningcdifferent ways of raising children ddifferent methods in exams30what is the authors purpose in writing the text? ato provide answer to a difficult question bto raise awareness in gender differences cto advocate separating boys and girls dto change school curricula to benefit boys31what might the author discuss in the following paragraphs? aeducation reforms in some countries bexamples of boys achievement cnew systems of examinations dadvertisement of some schools d in late summer or early fall the large, yellow seed heads of sunflowers will be ripening. if gardeners can keep off the birds and other wildlife trying to eat the seeds, they can have a large harvest. the bright yellow blooms will make a rainbow garden, brightening up any space.however, planting the sunflower seeds is a skilled job. plant seeds no deeper than the full length of itself. smaller sized sunflowers can be spaced a foot apart. larger varieties will need to be spaced as far apart as three feet. this allows ripe plants enough space for the seed heads to ripen without knocking the ripe seeds off before gardeners have a chance to harvest them.most sunflower seeds, especially those with eatable seeds, are large enough to handle without the need for seed sorters. this is why sunflowers make an excellent choice for a childrens garden as well. gardeners will want to mix plenty of soil fertilizers into the ground as sunflowers tend to be heavy feeders.sunflowers can be slow starters and the tiny new plants dont seem to grow very rapidly. gardeners should protect the new plants as they begin to grow. once they get going, sunflowers are able to out-grow many weeds, making them easier to grow in the home vegetable garden than many other plants.most pests and diseases are not a bother to the sunflower, however, more than one gardener has said that their lovely looking plants were destroyed overnight by hungry squirrels, mice or birds. to preserve their harvest, gardeners can cover the ripening seed head with stockings or net cloth to help keep the destroyers off the seeds.planting sunflower seeds is easy and can help even the smallest gardener feel successful in their gardening attempts.32. what is the passage mainly about? a. how to plant sunflowers. b. different kinds of sunflowers. c. ways to preserve sunflowers. d. tips on making your garden bright.33. why should enough space be left between sunflowers? a. to prevent birds from eating sunflower seeds. b. to offer the sunflowers enough sunlight. c. to protect the ripe seed heads before harvest. d. to help the sunflowers grow stronger.34. why do children love to grow sunflowers in their garden? a. they want to decorate their garden with sunflowers. b. the seeds are easy to plant and unnecessary to sort. c. they want to share their own harvest with their parents. d. sunflowers dont need too much soil fertilizer. 35. which of the following can replace the underlined word in paragraph 4? a. grow faster than. b. get rid of. c. grow slower than. d. take the place of.第二节 （共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的内容选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳答案，选项中有两项为多余选项。 many students have to live with roommates while going to school or universityhaving a roommate can be one of the
