They want to think and act as they like. No one, however, can have his own way all the time. A man cannot live in society without considering the interests of others as well as his own interests. “Society” means a group of people with the same laws and the same way of life. People in society may make their own decisions. One mans decisions may so easily harm another person. For example, a motorist may be in a hurry to get to a friends house. He sets out, driving at full speed like a competitor in a motor race. There are other vehicles and also people on the road.Suddenly there is a crash.There are screams and confusion. One careless motorist has struck another car.The collision has injured two of the passengers and killed the third.Too many road accidents happen through the thoughtlessness of selfish drivers.参考答案：1.B2.C3.C4.A5.C6.A7.C8.A9A10.B11.B12.C13.B14.A15.B16.A17.C18.C19.A20.B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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。ACrazy FestivalsMike the Headless Chicken FestivalIn 1945, farmer Lloyd Olsen attempted to cut off the head of Mike, a chicken, so his wife could cook it up for dinner. However, the bird didnt die and lived another year and a half, making regular trips to the fair, where people paid a quarter to see the amazing headless bird.Today, the spirit of Mike the Headless Chicken is celebrated with a twoday May festival in Fruita, Colorado, which includes live music, a golf tournament, and lots of delicious chicken.Roswell UFO FestivalIn the summer of 1947, a flying saucer (碟状物) crashed on a large farm outside the town of Roswell, New Mexico. The government says it didnt come from outer space, but many top UFO researchers believe it did.Knowing a good thing when it crashes in their backyard, the citizens of Roswell celebrate the event every July with a threeday festival that features a costume contest, a parade and other activities. Be careful, thoughthat odd little person next to you could be from another planet.Worlds Largest Rattlesnake RoundupThe rattlesnake, a poisonous American snake, serves an important function in nature by keeping small pests under control, but when their numbers grow too large, they can cause serious problems for farmers. Thats why every March the residents of Sweetwater, Texas, host a threeday festival in association with the towns annual rattlesnake hunt.Visitors can learn about rattlesnakes, take a bus tour of their natural habitat, participate in a rattlesnake eating contest and so on.BugFestEvery September, the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh sponsors a daylong festival that focuses on something most people try to avoid：insects.Visitors can hold bugs that are not native, cheer on racing insects and learn about beekeeping. But the highlight for many is Caf Insecta, where bugs are the main ingredient in a variety of tasty dishes.【解题导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个古怪的节日。21Lloyd Olsen cut off the chickens head because .Ahis family wanted to eat itBhe wanted to sell its meat at the fairChis family wanted to celebrate a headless chicken festivalDhe wanted to make money by showing a headless chicken解析：选A细节理解题。根据第一个节日介绍中的“farmer Lloyd Olsen attempted to cut off the head of Mike, a chicken, so his wife could cook it up for dinner.”可知答案。22By writing the underlined part, the author wants to .Aremind readers that aliens do existBadd an air of mystery to the festivalCimply that he may attend the festivalDdescribe the fun of the costume contest解析：选B句意理解题。根据文章对第二个节日的介绍可知，作者以客观的口吻介绍了这个外星人节日的来源及节日内容等，并未对外星人是否存在表明自己的观点。由此可推测，作者最后说“你旁边那个奇怪的矮人可能来自另一个星球”只是为了给这个节日增加些神秘气氛。23Whats the purpose of the Worlds Largest Rattlesnake Roundup?ATo increase the local tourism.BTo protect rattlesnakes habitats.CTo control the population of rattlesnakes.DTo introduce the importance of rattlesnakes.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第三个节日介绍中的“when their numbers grow too large, they can cause serious problems for farmers. Thats why every March the residents of Sweetwater, Texas, host a threeday festival .”可知答案。24Which of the following is the earliest festival of the year?AMike the Headless Chicken Festival.BRoswell UFO Festival.CWorlds Largest Rattlesnake Roundup.DBugFest.解析：选C细节理解题。根据四个节日的举办时间：五月、七月、三月和九月可知，C选项为一年中最早的节日。BOnce a man needed a new pair of shoes. This man was very good at math. He knew that in order to get shoes that fit very well, it would be necessary to measure his foot size correctly.So, before he went to the market, he carefully measured his feet and drew a very detailed picture of his feet on a piece of paper. Then before leaving the house, like a good mathematician, he rechecked his picture.It was a very long way from the mans home to the market. It was past midday when the man arrived at the market. When the man reached the shoe stall, he realized that he had forgotten to bring his paper. He turned around and walked all the way back home to get it.It was nearly sunset when the man returned to the market. There he found the market was closing. The shoemaker had packed up all of his shoes. “Foolish man，” the shoemaker said to the man when he was asked to unpack his goods to make a sale. “Why did you not just try on the shoes？”The man hung his head shamefully, saying, “I guessed there was only one way to solve my problem. I should have checked with others for another solution that might have worked as well or better than my own.”The above short story works well with school students and also teachers. Dont try to solve a problem with a single point of view; there may be many other ways of solving the same problem.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过一则短篇故事告诉我们：一个问题往往不只有一种解决办法。25Before the man went to the market, he .Aasked others for some adviceBknew well about his foot sizeCmeasured his old shoes carefullyDdrew a pair of shoes on a piece of paper解析：选B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“So, before he went to the market, he carefully measured his feet and drew a very detailed picture of his feet on a piece of paper.”可知，在去集市之前，那位男子仔细地测量了自己的脚的尺寸。26The shoemaker considered the man to be .AstupidBstrangeCclever Dinteresting解析：选A细节理解题。根据第四段中鞋匠说的“Foolish man”可知，鞋匠认为那位男子很愚蠢。27What does the author want to show by telling the story?AWe should learn math very well.BIts necessary to ask for help at times.CWe should think carefully before we act.DThere is more than one way to solve a problem.解析：选D推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Dont try to solve a problem with a single point of view; there may be many other ways of solving the same problem.”可知，作者讲述这个故事是想告诉我们：一个问题往往不只有一种解决办法。CAnna Schiferl hadnt even got out of bed when she reached for her cellphone and typed a text to her mom, one recent Saturday. Mom was right downstairs in the kitchen. The text? Anna wanted an egg for breakfast. Soon after, Joanna Schiferl called, “If you want to talk to me, Anna, come downstairs and see me！” Anna laughs about it now. “I was kind of being lazy，” she admits.These days, many people with cellphones prefer texting to a phone call. And thats creating a communication divide, of sortsthe talkers vs. the texters. Some would argue that its no big deal. But many experts say the most successful communicators will, of course, have the competence to do both. And they fear that more of us are unable to haveor at least are avoidingthe traditional facetoface conversations.Many professors (教授) say it is not common to see students outside of class. “I sit in my office hours lonely now because if my students have a question, they email me, often late at night，” says Renee Houston, a professor at the University of Puget Sound in Washington state. “And they never call.”As Anna sees it：“There are people youll text, but wont call. Its just a way to stay in touch with each other.” Some believe that scores of texts each day keep people more connected. “The problem is that the conversation isnt very deep，” says Joseph Grenny, coauthor of the book Crucial Conversations：Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High.“The problem has been there since weve had telephonesprobably since the time of a telegraph (电报)，” Grenny says. Texting is just the latest way to do that. Though they may not always be so good at deep conversations themselves, Grenny suggests that parents model the behavior for their children and put down their own cellphones. He says that they also should set limits, as Annas mom did when she made the “no texting to people in the same house” rule.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。专家表明，经常发短信可能会使人们在面对面交流时产生障碍。28According to Paragraph 1, Joanna .Awas very strict with her daughterBdid not know how to use a cellphoneCwas angry that her daughter got up lateDdid not have any breakfast that morning解析：选A推理判断题。由该段中的“If you want to talk to me, Anna, come downstairs and see me！”可知，Joanna对她的女儿要求十分严格，故选A项。29The underlined word “competence” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”Achance BabilityCcourage Dpatience解析：选B词义猜测题。由该段中的“the talkers vs. the texters”等相关信息可知，这里是说：大多数成功的交流者有能力把两者都做好，即：不但善于口头沟通也善于通过短信来交流，故选B项。30What do we know about Renees students?AThey often work late at night.BThey often ask strange questions.CFew ask her questions face to face.DMany email her if she feels lonely.解析：选C细节理解题。由第三段中的“I sit in my office hours lonely now because if my students have a question, they email me”可知，Renee的学生很少当面向她请教问题，故选C项。31In Joseph Grennys opinion， .Acellphones make people lonelierBtelephones help people communicate clearlyCtexting helps people have deeper conversationsDtalking should be encouraged instead of texting解析：选D细节理解题。由最后两段中的“the conversation isnt very deep”和“parents .put down their own cellphones”以及“they also should set limits”等信息可知，Joseph Grenny认为父母应该放下手机给孩子做个榜样，多一些面对面的交流而非发短信，故选D项。DBrian Greene, a professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University, has created an online science education platform. He tries to “build a bridge” with things you know about, and then “bring you across that bridge to the strange place of modern physics.”Recently I had a chance to ask Greene about wormholes (a hole which some scientists think might exist, connecting parts of space and time that are not usually connected), time travel and other mysteries of the universe. I asked him a milliondollar question：What if I went through a wormhole and prevented my parents from meeting? “Most of us believe that the universe makes sense，” Greene said. “Although there are several interesting theories about time travel，” he added, “the laws of physics would probably prevent something so illogical from taking place. The good news is that the time paradox (悖论) is open for future physicists to solve.”When asked how physics could become more exciting for kids, Greene said that books by Stephen Weinberg, Leonard Susskind, and other physicists, “make it a great time for people who want to learn about big ideas but arent yet ready, perhaps, to learn math.”When I pointed out that some students still might find physics boring, Greene said that the key is to teach them about things that are strange. “The basic stuff is important，” Greene said. “But I think its really important to also describe the more modern ideas, things like black holes and the Big Bang. If kids have those ideas in mind, then at least some of them will be excited to learn all the details.”Greene has followed Albert Einsteins lead in trying to solve the mysteries of the universe. Now he wants kids to do the same. As Greene said, physics is “not just a matter of solving problems in an exam.” Its about experimenting, showing an interest in strange phenomena (现象)and having fun!【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。物理学家Brian Greene希望更多的孩子将会对现代物理学感兴趣。32A million
