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,D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Wild elephants live in herds of 10 to about 50. The leader is usually a female. A herd can go through a forest quietly. It travels in a single line. It goes about 6 miles an hour. When frightened, it may run at about 25 miles an hour. When they reach water, elephants swim across. They are great swimmers.
Elephants eat grass, leaves, small branches, and bark. They particularly like the tender leaves on the top of trees. How do they get these leaves? They use their heads to knock trees down. They can easily knock down a 30-foot tree. Elephants also eat berries, mangoes, coconuts, corn, and sugar cane. They love salt. A wild male adult eats 500 to 600 pounds of food a day.
Many people want to find the graveyards (墓地) of elephants. There is a strong belief that such graveyards exist. Here is why. Bones and tusks of dead elephants have almost never been found. Searches have been made in forests. Grassy plains have been searched too. But neither bones nor tusks are found. Elephants don’t live forever. Where are their bones? They don’t just bury themselves. Here is one belief. When an elephant gets sick or old, it instinctively knows death is near. It leaves the herd. It goes off to a secret graveyard. The place is known only to elephants, and perhaps other animals, but not to humans. Obviously, such a graveyard would be filled with tusks. These were once very valuable. The objective of explorers was to find this “gold” mine. This graveyard belief may be a truth or a myth. But it is romantic. It would be nice if it were true.
21. An elephant usually travels at a speed of ________ per hour.
A. around 6 miles B. around 25 miles
C. no more than 6 miles D. more than 25 miles
22. According to the passage, elephants’ favorite foods are _________.
A. grass, leaves, small branches and bark

23. From the passage we can learn that _________.
A. other animals know where elephants’ graveyards are
B. elephants bury themselves when their deaths are near
C. people have found bones and tusks of dead elephants
D. whether there are graveyards of elephants is still not known
B
Although she died more than twenty-five years ago, many Americans still argue about Ayn Rand. People also continue to talk about her ideas and her interesting life.
As a young child, Alisa loved books. She began to write her own stories when she was only seven. She took classes in politics, history, law and writing .In 1926, she traveled to the United States and decided she would never leave. She also decided to change her
name to “Ayn Rand.” Newly named, Rand moved to Hollywood, California to work in the movie business. Throughout the 1930s, she published two books, but did not earn much critical or popular recognition.
Then, in1943, Rand's famous book “The Fountainhead” was published. It took her seven years to write the novel. Twelve publishers rejected the book. However, a man named Archibald Ogden loved the story and convinced the Bobbs-Merrill company to publish it. “The Fountainhead” became a huge success around the world. It has sold more than six million copies. It continues to sell about one hundred thousand copies each year.
“The Fountainhead” tells the story of a young building designer named Howard Roark. Roark wants to build interesting, modern-looking buildings. However, most people only want to see traditional designs. Roark loves designing and building more than anything in the world. But he refuses to compromise and make buildings he hates. Several people work against Roark and his goals. But in the end, Roark succeeds.
“The Fountainhead”is an unusual novel for many reasons. It is more than 700 pages long, far longer than most books people read for entertainment. More importantly, it also includes discussions of philosophy, which are not usually found in popular books. Most critics did not like “The Fountainhead”. But readers loved it. In 1949,it was made into a popular movie.
She lived quietly in New York City until she died in 1982. She is still one of the most loved, and hated, American thinkers and writers.

It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter.
Road politeness is not only good manners ,but good sense. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.
An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings.
Unfortunately, modern drivers can't even learn to drive, let alone master the road man ship. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.
29. The passage mainly talks about________.
A. Road politeness
B. Traffic jams
C. Good manners
D. Modern drivers
30. Troubles on the road are often caused by________.
A. great speed
B. traffic jams
C. terrible road conditions
D. the behavior of the drivers
31. According to the writer, a good driver should________.
A. beat back when forced to face rude driving
B. be able to recognize politeness when he sees it
C. join in traffic stream quickly however other people feel
D. encourage old ladies to cross the roads whenever they want to
32. It is not always right for drivers to________.
A. master roadman ship
B. create atmosphere of good will
C. encourage old ladies to cross the road
D. give a friendly nod to show politeness
D

The Internet has long been regarded as a wonderful tool that allows students to gain insight to useful resources and information. However, this is not always the case.
------------
As is vividly shown in the picture, a boy is happy with the fact that he can depend on the Internet to finish tasks without any difficulty. It mirrors a common phenomenon. Nowadays, students tend to make use of the Internet to gain information they need.
There are some reasons accounting for it. To begin with, students find it convenient to surf the Internet for useful information, where problems can be solved with the help of several clicks. What’s more, there’s no doubt that the pressure to succeed also causes students to turn to computers for accurate answers. As a result, it’s likely that students will lose interest in studying, which is not beneficial to their overall development.
In my opinion, measures must be taken to solve the problem. Firstly, it is vital that students gain confidence in themselves and their abilities while doing tasks. Besides, what teachers and parents should do is encourage students to be creative. Finally, doing tasks independently is of great significance.
