Next, Mrs. Laffertys on our list. She was“Teacher of the Year” last year! Shes really intelligent and her classes a

22、re great. Students love her because she is so encouraging. She always gives support by saying good things. OK, next is Mr Peters. To tell the truth, he isnt such a popular teacher. His class is hard but hes serious and people respect him. The last teacher on our list is Ms. Jones. Shes also serious

23、and she works hard. She often stays after school to meet with students to help them with their studies. OK. Thats all the information of these teachers. Why dont we take a fiveminute break to think about this and come back and decide?第二部分阅读理解(满分40分，限时35分钟)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

24、、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。AEdward was the youngest knight (骑士) in the kingdom. One day when he came across a cave, he heard some voices. He walked into the cave, and followed the voices.“Anybody here？” he asked.“Help！” somebody said. “Were farmers around here and have been locked here for years, serving the dra

25、gon.”“Dragon？” thought Edward, just before a flying flame almost burnt him alive. Never before had he come across such a powerful thing. Edward faced the dragon and said, “All right, dragon. I forgive you for what you just did. You probably didnt know it was me.”The dragon was very surprised at word

26、s like these. “Prepare to fight！” shouted the dragon.“Wait a moment. Well, its clear that you dont know who I am. Im the guardian of the Great Crystal Sword (水晶剑护卫者)！” continued Edward, who was able to make all sorts of things up. “You know that the sword has killed dozens of dragons.”The dragon had

27、 never heard of such a sword, but this frightened him. Edward carried on，“I want to give you a chance to fight me. Lets travel to the other side of the world. Over there theres a snowcovered mountain. There the sword loses all its power. Ill be there, but will only wait for you for five days.”On say

28、ing that, Edward raised a cloud of dust and disappeared. The dragon thought Edward had performed some kind of magic, but he had only hidden in some bushes. Wanting to fight, the dragon quickly flew out of the cave, towards the other side of the world, on a journey which lasted over a month.When Edwa

29、rd was sure the dragon was far away, he came out, entered the cave, and set free all the farmers inside.语篇解读：本文讲述了这样一个故事：年轻骑士偶遇强悍恶龙，巧用计策引开对手，救出被囚禁的人们。21Edward met the farmers_.Aby accidentBon purposeCafter killing the dragonDon his way to his kingdom解析：选A细节理解题。根据第一段可知，Edward无意中发现了一个山洞，听到从里面传出来的声音，走进

30、去发现了被困的农民。由此可知，他是偶然间发现这些农民的。22When Edward met the dragon, he thought that_.Athe dragon was foolishBhe should try to escapeChe could beat the dragonDthe dragon was powerful解析：选D细节理解题。根据第四段第一、二句可知，刚与恶龙会面时，恶龙喷出火焰差点儿把Edward活活烧死，他发现恶龙真的很强大。23What Edward said to the dragon_.Amade the dragon angryBmade the

31、 farmers worriedCwas just a story he made upDmade the dragon give up fighting解析：选C推理判断题。根据文章可推知，Edward看到恶龙后编造了故事，目的是拖住恶龙，不和它正面交锋，而当恶龙上当受骗离洞而去时，他救出了被困的农民。第六段倒数第二句中的“who was able to make all sorts of things up”证实了这一点。24What can we infer from the passage?AThe dragon was killed by Edward in the end.BThe

32、 dragon would find it was fooled in the end.CEdward would be in trouble as a result of what he did.DEdward gave the dragon a lesson with his powerful sword.解析：选B推理判断题。根据故事情节可推知，骑士编造故事说要与恶龙在遥远的地方决斗是为了引它离去，救出农民，他不会去参加决斗，所以恶龙最终会发现自己被骗了。BOne day, Mr Arnold was teaching a lesson, and things were going as

33、 normally as ever. He was explaining the story of mankind to his pupils. He told them that in the beginning, men were nomads,_who never stayed in the same place for very long. Instead, they traveled from place to place in search of food, wherever it was to be found. And when the food ran out, they w

34、ould move to another place.He taught them about the invention of farming and keeping animals. These were important discoveries, because by learning to farm the land and keep animals, mankind could always have enough food. It also meant that people could stay in one place, and this made it easier for

35、 them to begin their longtime work, such as building towns and cities. All the children were listening, and were concentrating on his story, until Lucy stood up：“And if that was so important and improved everything so much, why are we nomads all over again, Mr Arnold？” Mr Arnold didnt know what to s

36、ay. Lucy was a very smart girl. Mr Arnold knew that Lucy lived with her parents in a house, so she must know that her family were not nomads; so what did she mean?“We have all become nomads again，” continued Lucy. “The other day, outside the city, they were cutting the forest down. A while ago a fis

37、herman told me how they fish. Its the same with everyone: when theres no more forest left, the foresters will go elsewhere, and when theres no fish left, the fishermen will move off. Thats what the nomads did, isnt it？”Mr Arnold nodded and was deep in thought. In fact, Lucy was right. Instead of loo

38、king after the land in a way that we could be sure it would keep satisfying our needs, we kept exploiting (开发) it until nothing could grow on the land. And then we would go to the next place! The class spent the rest of the afternoon talking about what they could do to change the situation.The next

39、day everyone came to the class wearing a green Tshirt, with a message that said “I am not a nomad！” And from then on, every time they knew they needed something, they made sure that they would get it carefully. If they needed wood or paper, they would make sure that they got the recycled (可再造的) kind

40、. They ordered their fish from fish farms, making sure that the fish they got were not too young or too small. They only bought animals that were brought up on farms.And so, from their little town, those children managed to give up being nomads again.语篇解读：你知道nomads是什么样的人吗？想知道他们的生活是什么样的吗？而现在我们是这样的人吗？

41、读读这篇文章吧，相信你可以从中找到答案。25What does the underlined word “nomads” in the first paragraph mean?APeople who hunt for food in one place all the time.BPeople who never have enough food to support themselves.CPeople who always move from one place to another to find food.DPeople who make their living by farmin

42、g and keeping animals.解析：选C词义猜测题。根据后面的定语从句“who never stayed in the same place for very long”可知，他们从不在一个地方待很久。26Why were farming and keeping animals important?ABecause humans could get enough food.BBecause humans could help wild animals.CBecause humans could travel to other places.DBecause humans coul

43、d work for a longer time.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，通过耕种和养动物，人类可以获得足够的食物。27From this passage, we can infer that Lucy_.Adisliked Mr Arnold very muchBalways behaved badly at schoolCpaid much attention to social lifeDwas enthusiastic about the life of nomads解析：选C推理判断题。根据第三、四段露西和别的同学不一样，由阿诺德先生对nomads的理解而引发对现

44、在人们的生活方式的理解，由此可以判断出她是一个对社会生活关注比较多的学生。28The students wore green Tshirts in order to_.Atell other people how to save more energyBcall on other people to protect wild animalsCwarn other people not to buy fish caught from the riverDshow their determination (决心) to protect the environment解析：选D细节理解题。我们现在过

45、度开发资源，造成资源的短缺，而我们也会像nomads一样生活不固定，所以他们穿绿色的T裇衫来表明自己保护环境的决心。CCharleston, South Carolina A couple says their dog sniffed (嗅) out a baby abuser (施虐者) in their home, the woman who was supposed to be caring for their sevenmonthold son at that time.The babysitter, 22yearold Alexis Khan, who had admitted wh

46、at she had done, was ordered to serve one to three years in prison.Benjamin and Hope Jordan hired Khan to babysit their son, Finn, last year after they moved to Charleston. They said Khan came up clean in a background check.“We felt like Alexis was a good fit at the time，” said Benjamin Jordan. Howe

47、ver their confidence in Khan didnt last too long.“About five months into her being our babysitter, we started to notice that our dog was very protective of our son when she would come in the door，” Jordan said. “He was very aggressive (好斗的，侵略性的) towards her and a few times we actually had to stop ou

48、r dog from going towards her.”Thanks to their dog, Killian, the parents had a plan. Hope suggested they place an iPhone under the couch and let the phone record what happened while they were at work.When the couple got home, they listened to the tape and were horrified what they heard. With the reco

49、rd in the phone, they mastered the evidence.The Jordans said their son was doing fine and had no lingering (持续的，拖延的) effects from the abuse.语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。美国南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿的一对夫妻表示，他们家的宠物狗在家里嗅出了虐婴者，这名女性正是他们找来照顾7个月大儿子的保姆。29The passage is most probably taken from_.Aa newspaperBa magazineCa diary Dan adverti

50、sement解析：选A文章出处题。由文章开头的“Charleston, South Carolina .”(南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿)可推知，这是一篇标准的新闻报道。30From the passage we know that at first the couple thought the babysitter_.Acruel BcarefulCreliable Dlazy解析：选C推理判断题。由文中的“They said Khan came up clean in a background check.”和“We felt like Alexis was a good fit at the t

51、ime， said Benjamin Jordan.”可知，经过调查保姆的背景，起初他们认为保姆是非常合适的，所以放心雇用了。由此可推知，他们认为保姆是可靠的。31According to the text, which of the following is WRONG?AThe couples dog is called Killian.BAfter hearing the tape the couple was horrified.CThe child was seven months old when he was found abused.DKillian is a clever a

52、nd responsible dog.解析：选C细节理解题。通读全文可知，当时保姆刚来照顾婴儿时，婴儿是七个月大，但保姆工作五个月后，才发现了婴儿被虐待。故C项错误。DAnnouncementsBret Harte vs. Calaveras alumni boysThe annual Bret Harte vs. CHS alumni boy basketball game will be held at 7 p. m， Saturday, Nov. 30, at Calaveras High.
