Boys names are often borrowed from words which mean “strong” “brave”Do you know how your own name came into being?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。AHave you been to Hoover Dam before? Do you know anything about it? If not, I think you had better go to visit it and enjoy its beautiful scenery if you are free some day.Many years ago, a big dam, which lies between the states of Arizona and Nevada, was built to control the Colorado River. This dam was built so that it could protect the land and houses along the river from being washed away.This big dam is in the Black Canyon. It is possible to drive a car from one side of the river to the other on a road which is on top of the dam. The dam is so big that there is a lift inside, which goes down fortyfour floors from the road to the bottom. There is enough concrete (混凝土) used in the dam to build a highway from New York to San Francisco. It took thousands of people five years to build the dam.This dam was called Boulder Dam when it was completed in 1936. Later it was renamed Hoover Dam in honor of a president of the United States. Hoover Dam, one of the highest dams in the world, has been playing an important role in many ways. It attracts many visitors coming from all over the world.21. What does the text mainly talk about?A. The Black Canyon.B. A president and a dam.C. Hoover Dam.D. The highest dam in the world.答案与解析C本文主要是对Hoover Dam的具体介绍和说明。22. Since it was completed, the dam has been used to _.A. prevent the floodsB. make electricityC. work as a water parkD. develop the fishing industry答案与解析A根据本文第二段的“was built to control the Colorado River . from being washed away”可知。23. The purpose of the writer in writing this text is to _.A. give a brief introduction to the damB. make an advertisement for the damC. invite tourists of the world to visit the damD. help protect the dam as much as possible答案与解析A根据全文可知，可知作者在该文中介绍了胡佛大坝的建设过程、基本结构、大坝的主要功能以及大坝名字的变化。因此选项A较好地反映了作者的写作目的。24. This text is probably taken from a _.A. newspaperB. magazineC. textbook D. novel答案与解析B这是一篇对Hoover Dam这个著名建筑工程的介绍，它出现在一本杂志上较为合理。BHave you ever been sad because of failure? Please remember, for often, achieving what you set out to do is not the most important thing.A boy decided to dig a deep hole behind his house. As he was working, a couple of older boys stopped by to watch. “What are you doing？” asked one of the visitors. “I want to dig a hole all the way through the earth！” the boy answered excitedly. The older boys began to laugh, telling him that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a while, the boy picked up a jar. He showed it to the visitors. It was full of all kinds of stones and insects. Then he said calmly and confidently, “Maybe I cant finish digging all the way through the earth, but look at what Ive found during this period！”The boys goal was far too difficult, but it did cause him to go on. And that is what a goal is for to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen, in other words, to cause us to keep working!Not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will end up with a success. Not every dream will come true. But when you fall short of your aim, maybe you can say, “Yes, but look what Ive found along the way! There are so many wonderful things having come into my life because I tried to do something！” It is in the digging that life is lived. It is the unexpected joy on the journey that really makes sense.25. The older boys laughed at the boy because he was thought to be _.A. brave B. impoliteC. foolish D. warmhearted答案与解析C这个男孩遭到嘲笑是因为别人(the older boys)认为他在做“明知不可为而之”的事，因而认为他是愚蠢的。26. Why did the boy show the jar to the older boys?A. To drive them away.B. To show what he had found in digging.C. To show how beautiful the jar was.D. To attract them to join him in the work.答案与解析B由第二段男孩所说的“Maybe I cant finish digging all the way through the earth, but look at what Ive found during this period！”可推断出男孩把罐子给那些嘲讽者看，是为了展示其挖掘过程中发现的成果。27. What can be learnt from the fourth paragraph of the text?A. No dream can come true.B. All work will end successfully.C. Goals shouldnt be set too high.D. Goals will make us work harder.答案与解析D该段通过这些排比句说明虽然目标未必都能实现，但可以促进人们努力工作并有所回报。28. The best title for the text should be _.A. Joy in the JourneyB. A Boy Dug a HoleC. No Pains, No GainsD. Failure Is the Mother of Success答案与解析A文章主要是论述要为了目标去努力奋斗、去付出努力，并在奋斗的过程中享受乐趣生命正是在“挖掘”的过程中才具有意义。CHave you wondered about the amount of time we spend talking about food and been surprised? We are always asking questions such as“Have you ever eaten？” and“What did you have for lunch？”Yet, if you travel from one country to another, you might find that other nations think differently about food. People plan to think that what they eat is normal and what everyone else eats is strange. In most parts of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice but in England, rice is the exception and people prefer to eat potatoes, in the Middle East, bread accompanies every meal.Eating, like so many things we do, becomes a habit that is difficult to change. The Americans seem to like drinking lots of orange juice and coffee; the English prefer to drink tea four or five times a day; the Australians prefer to drink a lot of beer; the French, like wine every day.People in different countries also like eating different kinds of meat and even within countries, different regions will have different likes and dislikes, especially in large countries like China and the former Soviet Union. In Hong Kong and the south of China, some people enjoy eating snakes but in the north of China, most people refuse to eat them. The French think that horse meat is delicious but most English people are terrified at the thought of eating it. The New Zealanders eat a lot of lamb and mutton, but never goat. The Japanese say that they do not like eating lamb and mutton because of their smell, but that they really enjoy eating raw fish more than anything else.So it seems that there is often very little common sense about what is nicest to eat or drink in different parts of the world although we may talk on the subject of food for hours. However, as people everywhere enjoy eating what they have always eaten, there seems very little point in trying to change traditional eating habits.29. The topic people spend a lot of time talking about is _.A. lunch B. breakfastC. dinner D. food答案与解析D文章的首段第一句就直接说明了人们常谈论的话题是食物。30. Bread is necessary in every meal in _.A. the Middle East B. AmericaC. England D. Asia答案与解析A根据第一段的最后一句可以直接判断出此答案。31. In England, people prefer to eat _.A. rice B. potatoesC. corn D. bread答案与解析B根据第一段末句可直接得出答案。32. English people like eating horse meat，do they?A. No, they do. B. Yes, they do.C. No, they dont. D. Yes, they dont.答案与解析C由文章的第三段和反意疑问句的答案的正确形式只能选择C项。DI lost my sight when I was 4 years old by failing off a boxcar and landing on my head. Now, I am 32. I can vaguely remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see again. But a calamity (灾难) can do strange things to people.It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life so, as I do, if I hadnt been blink I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise. Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. I was bewildered (不知所措的) and afraid, but I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me oh, a potential to live you might call it which I didnt see. And they made me want to fight it out with blindness.The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. When I was a youngster, once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was laughing at me, and I was hurt. “I cant use this，” I said. “Take it with you，” he urged me, “and roll it around.”The words stuck in my head: “Roll it around, roll it around.” By rolling the ball, I could listen where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball. At Philadelphias Overbrook School for the Blind, I invented a successful variation of baseball. We called it groundball.All my life, I have set ahead of me a series of goals, and then tried to reach them one at a time. I had to learn my limitations I would fail sometimes anyway, but on the average, I made progress.33. What did the author learn from playing the indoor baseball?A. He could achieve what had been thought impossible.B. A blind man could enjoy himself as a normal person.C. Not all the people are unkind.D. Great potential of invention was stored in a blind man.答案与解析A从文章倒数第二段第三句话可知，作者实现了自己原先认为不可能实现的目标。34. What do we know about the authors parents and teachers from the passage?A. They taught him how to adjust himself to his life after becoming blind.B. They were quite concerned about him because of his blindness.C. They let him see his own potential to live a normal life.D. They encouraged him to overcome the difficulties brought by his blindness.答案与解析D从文章第二段最后一句可知，父母和老师鼓励他跟失明所带来的各种磨难抗争。35. What attitude does the author have towards life?A. Disappointing. B. Regretful.C. Thankful. D. Doubtful.答案与解析C从文章第二段作者的语言中可推断，他非常珍惜生活，并没有自暴自弃。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。Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence and feelings. In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. _36_ In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. _37_ Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August)Weather also has a strong influence on peoples feelings.
