She promised a doctor a lot of money if he could make her see again. “If you fail，” she said, “You will get nothing.” The doctor agreed. The doctor soon discovered what was wrong with her, but he decided not to cure her right away. Instead, each time he visited, he secretly took some of her things. When he had taken everything he wanted, he cured her blindness and sent her a large bill. When the old woman could see again she noticed that all her things had gone and she refused to pay the bill. So the doctor took her before a judge.She told the judge what the doctor said was true. But she said she wasnt cured, because she still couldnt see any of the things in her house.The old woman won her case and the doctor went away unhappily without getting his pay.参考答案：1.C2.B3.C4.B5.B6.A7.C8.A9.C10.B11.C12.A13.B14.A15.B16.C17.B18.B19.B20.A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。ATravelworthy Destinations in Best FilmsArrival Bozeman, Montana, U.

When I bake cookies, I immediately miss them the moment I have eaten the last one. Last summer when I left a summer camp, I didnt realize how great it really was until I got home. What happens, however, when that happens to one of your senses?A few months ago, I woke up deaf in one ear. I did not pay much attention to it at first. It felt that I had water in my ear. However, I began to hear less and less out of that ear. I even had to ask people to talk into my other ear so I could hear them. I didnt realize how serious it was until later in the day. That evening, when I was sitting on my bed doing chemistry homework, I fell off my bed! When trying to get up, I was incredibly dizzy (头晕的)I went to see a doctor who told me that hearing loss was common. However, it was usually bilateral，or occurs in both ears. He said that my hearing should come back within a week.After about a week the dizziness eventually went away, but the hearing loss did not. The medicine helped and I gained some of my hearing back. After many hearing tests, it was determined that I had permanent hearing loss in that ear.School became harder for me because I couldnt hear my teachers. I was very depressed.Finally, I bought a hearing aid. With the hearing aid, my hearing is almost back to normal! It makes school and group conversations easier.My friends, teachers, and even complete strangers always ask me questions about hearing loss. I answer them patiently. I never get offended because I know that this is new to them. I am delighted I can teach them something new.What I have learned from this particular situation is that when things are desperate, there is always something good that can come out of it. My experience has given me an opportunity to teach people about something new to them and it has taught me about the value of hearing.【解题导语】作者在一只耳朵失聪以后才意识到听觉的可贵。这次经历使作者认识到“失去才懂得珍惜”“天无绝人之路”等人生道理。24What do we know from the first paragraph?AThe author had a great time in the summer camp.BThe author didnt enjoy himself in the summer camp.CThe author lost the sense of hearing in the summer camp.DThe author baked delicious cookies in the summer camp.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“Last summer when I left a summer camp, I didnt realize how great it really was until I got home.”可知，作者在夏令营玩得很开心。25The author fell off his bed when .Agetting up from the bedBdoing his homeworkCwaking up from a dreamDwearing his clothes解析：选B细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句“That evening, when I was sitting on my bed doing chemistry homework, I fell off my bed！”可知，作者坐在床上做化学作业时从床上摔了下来。26The underlined word “bilateral” in Paragraph 3 means .Aspeaking two languagesBhappening on one sideClosing one senseDinvolving two sides解析：选D词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句子中的提示“occurs in both ears”可知，bilateral意为“双边的”。27We can infer from the passage that .Aafter the treatment, the authors hearing loss was curedBstrangers always ask the author questions about the hearing aidCthe author took some medicine to treat his hearing lossDthe medicine the doctor gave him didnt work at all解析：选C推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“The medicine helped and I gained some of my hearing back.”可推知，作者服用了一些治疗耳聋的药。CCities are likely to be affected by overheating, thanks to something called the urban heat island effect. Cities tend to be short of trees, which provide shade, and they are covered with black pavement, which absorbs heat from the sun. Think of how it feels to wear a dark shirt versus a white shirt on a sunny day. A black shirt absorbs light, heating you up. But a white shirt reflects light, keeping you cool.The average temperature in a city of a million or more people can be more than 5 degrees F hotter than surrounding areas. That extra 5 degrees can turn a hot day from uncomfortable to deadly. As temperatures rise, cities will be an especially dangerous place to live during a heat wave. To protect public health, city officials are going to make the city cooler.As part of that effort, Los Angeles is coating its roads in CoolSeal, a gray paint that keeps streets and parking lots 10 degrees cooler than black asphalt(沥青). It will help Angelinos save money during the summer, when air conditioning sends power bills soaring. And it will save lives by lowering temperatures and improving air quality. Hot weather worsens air pollution by turning car exhaust into smog, which can make life miserable for people with asthma(哮喘) and other breathing problems.Of course, LA. will have to do more than paint over a few streets to cool off the city. Angelinos will also need to plant more trees and apply white paint to rooftopsat least those not already covered in solar panels. While LA. is a pioneer of reflective streets, other cities, like New York, are already experimenting with reflective roofs or, like Melbourne, lowering the temperature by planting trees. LA. is hardly alone in its effort to stay cool.“This is an urgent challenge, and its much bigger than one person，”said Mayor Garcetti in a recent statement.“Climate change is a fact of life that people in Los Angeles and cities around the world live with every day.”【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了洛杉矶采取的降温方法，除了种植树木外，更主要的是将道路漆成灰白色、将房顶漆成白色，这些措施有效而环保，不仅降低了降温成本，还改善了空气质量，降低了哮喘等呼吸性疾病的发病率。28Which of the following contributes to the urban heat island effect?APlanting more trees in the streets.BCovering the streets with gray paint.CApplying reflective paint to rooftops.DFurnishing every house with air conditioners.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第三段中的“air conditioning sends power bills soaring”可推知，夏天人们大量使用空调；又根据常识可知，空调外机的运行会导致气温上升，从而导致热岛效应，故D项符合文意。29What should the city officials emphasize during hot summer?AHow to make the city cooler.BWhere to wear a white shirt.CWhy to coat the roads with black paint.DWhen to cut off the electricity supply.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“To protect public health, city officials are going to make the city cooler.”可知，为了保护人们的身体健康，在炎热的夏季，城市的官员们着重考虑如何降低城市的温度，故A项正确。30What benefit can people gain from the use of CoolSeal?AIncreasing the indoor activities.BPromoting the sale of air conditioners.CMaking life easier and more comfortable.DReducing the number of cold days.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第三段，尤其是该段第二、三句“It will help Angelinos save money during the summer, when air conditioning sends power bills soaring. And it will save lives by lowering temperatures and improving air quality.”可知，使用CoolSeal不仅有助于降低温度，还能在夏季节省空调开支和改善空气质量从而让人们过得更舒适，故C项正确。31Whats the main idea of the passage?AL.A.adopted many approaches to fight against the heat.BL.A.calls on people to fight against global warming.CMore and more countries begin to plant trees in the streets.DL.A.is painting its streets gray to keep the city cool.解析：选D主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了洛杉矶为了降低城市气温，除了种植树木外，还将道路漆成灰白色，并将房顶漆成白色，这些措施有效而且环保，不仅降低了降温成本，还改善了空气质量，降低了哮喘等呼吸性疾病的发病率。据此可知，D项最能概括文意。DScientists have discovered thirteen kinds of vitamins. They say vitamins help to carry out chemical changes within cells. If we do not get enough of the vitamins we need in our food, we are at risk of developing a number of diseases. Which foods should be eaten to keep us healthy? Let us look at some important vitamins.Vitamin A helps prevent skin and other tissues from becoming dry. People who do not get enough vitamin A cannot see well in darkness. Vitamin A is found in fish liver oil and the yellow part of eggs.Vitamin B1 is also called thiamine. Thiamine changes starchy(含淀粉的) foods into energy. Thiamine is found not just in whole grains like brown rice, but also in beans and peas, nuts, and meat and fish.Vitamin B12 is needed so folic acid can do its work. Together, they help produce red blood cells. Folic acid has been shown to prevent physical problems in babies when taken by their mothers during pregnancy. Vitamin B12 is found naturally in foods like eggs, meat, fish and milk products. Vitamin B12 is found in green leafy vegetables and other foods, like legumes and citrus fruits (柑橘类水果)Vitamin C is needed for strong bones and teeth. The body
