第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

21．（6分） When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends

ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.

A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a

treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And

the result can be what you don’t want — an end to the relationship.

The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of

us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when you’re wrong — even if

you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if

the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit(承认) that he

has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our

needs and lifestyle change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong

during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: consider friendship as an

honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture(培养).

1、What would be the best title for the passage?

A．Easy Ways to Make Friends

B．Ups and Downs in Friendship

C．How to Mend a Troubled Friendship

D．How to Take the Lead in Making Friends

2、The

＂wronged person＂ underlined in the passage refers to a person ____________.

A．who has been mistaken for another

B．who has been blamed unfairly

C．who has treated friends badly

D．who has admitted his mistakes

3、According to the passage, a friendship can be long only if ____________.

A．we have much in common

B．we know our friends’ mistakes

C．we treat our disagreements wisely

D．we have known one another her desires

4、What should we do if we follow the author’s second suggestion?

A．Make an apology first.

B．Avoid making mistakes.

C．Stick to our own points of view.

D．Change our lifestyles.

Amid growing global condemnation of elephant riding as a tourist activity, Yok Don National Park in

22．（8分）southern Vietnam has ended the practice and replaced it with the first ethical (伦理的) elephant experience of its kind in

the country.

The formally captive group of four elephants were released from their chains earlier this month and no longer

carry tourists on rides through the park. Visitors can instead observe the animals roaming freely in their natural

habitat.

The park worked on the initiative with Animal Protection Asia, which campaigns for long-term changes in animal

welfare and tourism in Vietnam. The official agreement between the charity and the state-run park was signed on 13

July, and runs until April 2024, with the first tours taking place earlier this month. Over the next five years, it is hoped

that the new model will provide as much or even more revenue for owners as riding, and encourage mahouts (管象人)

and elephant tourism companies to follow.

This project has entirely changed the lives of the elephants at the park and it also provides a much better

experience for the tourists. Misuse has been replaced with respect, and the animals look much healthier and happier

than before.

Awareness of the adverse effects of elephant riding has increased in recent years, with a growing number of tourists

avoiding cruel attractions and supporting welfare centres and animal protection instead, alongside an increasing

number of tour operators refusing to sell elephant treks that include riding.

Many of the elephants used in riding and other activities, such as painting or performing tricks, are caught as

babies from the wild, their mothers often killed. Once captured, they typically undergo intensive conditioning known as

“crushing the spirit”, where they are kept in tiny pens and beaten and starved, sometimes for weeks. Once trained,

many of the animals eventually die from exhaustion. Campaigners and charities hope to continue to educate the

industry in Vietnam and around the world, and show how profitable ethical elephant experiences, with retired and

rescued animals, can be, instead.

1、What is true for most working elephants in Vietnam?

A．They are allowed to roam freely.

B．They are chained up and cruelly treated.

C．They outnumber those found in the wild.

D．They are kept with their mothers during training.

2、What is the goal of Animal Protection Asia?

A．It seeks to raise money for national parks’ operation.

B．It wants to organize more sightseeing tours in Vietnam.

C．It hopes to set a new model for elephant tourism companies.

D．It expects to eventually free all the working elephants in Asia.

3、Which of the following best explains “adverse” underlined in paragraph 5?

A．Practical.

C．Financial.

4、What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Say no to elephant riding

B．A new profitable model

C．Vietnam takes the lead

D．Negative effects of elephant tourism

23．（8分）Researchers say public mistrust of vaccines（疫苗）is causing diseases like measles（麻疹）and yellow

fever to spread. The scientists said the lower levels of trust can lead to people refusing vaccines. This, in turn, can cause

diseases to spread quickly, they warmed.

But the researchers said they also found a high level of support worldwide for vaccinating children against disease.

The researchers questioned 66,000 people in 67 countries to discover their ideas on whether vaccines are important,

safe and effective. The survey showed people in Southeast Asia had the highest level of trust in vaccines. Africa showed

the second highest level of confidence. Europeans showed the lowest level of confidence in vaccines. In France, 41

percent of the population questioned the safety of vaccines.

Heidi Larson is with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. She says recent media reports of

problems involving vaccines have hurt public confidence in France. Larson noted that many Europeans worried about

reports of possible links between hepatitis B vaccinesand the disease multiple sclerosis.

（乙型肝炎疫苗）（多发性硬化症）But she said scientists found no linkage between the two. Mistrust in France was also driven by public reaction to the

H1N1 influenzaoutbreak fears in 2009. The French government spent $1.4 billion on 94 million doses

（甲型H1N1流感）of the vaccine. The majority were sold or destroyed.

The findings come as a major yellow fever vaccination program has been launched in the Democratic Republic of

Congo and Angola. The disease has already killed hundreds of people in the area. The World Health Organization aims

B．Unexpected.

D．Negative.

to vaccinate over 15 million people in both countries. “If everyone agrees to be vaccinated, we can remove yellow fever

from our country,” said Mosala Mireille, one of the doctors directing the program.

1、The author develops the Paragraph 1 mainly ________.

A．by telling experiences B．by giving instructions

C．by offering descriptions D．by analyzing cause and effect

2、The underlined words “The disease” in the last paragraph probably refer to ________.

A．measles B．yellow fever

C．H1N1 influenza D．multiple sclerosis

3、Mistrust of vaccines in France was driven by the following reasons except ________.

A．media reports of problems linked to vaccines

B．public reaction to the H1N1 influenza outbreak fears in 2009

C．connections between hepatitis B vaccines and the disease multiple sclerosis

D．most of the doses of the vaccine were sold or disposed of by the French government

4、Mosala Mireille’s attitude towards the yellow fever vaccination program is ________.

A．Expectant B．Skeptical

C．Critical D．Cautious

24．（8分） “Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton（骨骼）in the closet（衣橱）?” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully, “Well, it’s something that you

would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested

for stealing a horse, It would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about

it.”

“Why pick on my family?” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t

your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days

say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I

understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.

After dinner, the house was very quite. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was

ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read.

When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as she

opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones

fell to the floor, Jessica’s mother sank into a faint（晕倒）, walking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her

forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.

“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica,

“ I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned

skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to

laugh madly. “They are both crazy,” she thought.

1、According to Jessica’s mother, “a skeleton in the clothes” means ______.

A．a family honor B．a family secret

C．a family story D．a family treasure

2、What can we learn about some Australian’s ancestors from Paragraph 2?

A．They were brought to Australia as prisoners.

B．They were the earliest people living in Australia.

C．They were involved in some crimes in Australia.

D．They were not regarded as criminals in their days.

3、Jessica’s mother fell down into a faint ______.

A．because she was knocked B．because she was frightened

C．because she was injured D．because she was surprised

4、Jessica’s parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because ______.

A．they were crazy B．they were overexcited

C．they realized their misunderstanding D．they both thought they had won the quarrel

I remember the exact moment I learned the principle of preparing for luck.

sport that has the least 1 .There are only two people out on the mat, so you cannot 2 it on your teammates or

your coach. And guess what? There is no 3 because we do the whole thing indoors, so you can’t say, “It was

raining” or “It was snowing.” It makes 4 to say wrestling is the sport with the least luck.

On our team were two world champions; one of them had been a world champion five times. We 5 had five people

who were national champions. One of them was a guy 6 the name of John.

John had never been 7 he was a national champion. There was nobody locally who could touch him.

One day, we39 a match with our biggest opponent(对手). John went out on the mat, and about a minute and 30 seconds

We used to have this big 13 ”

John’s opponent was prepared to make use of this opportunity. The possibility of beating John was not 14 and he

knew it. But he waited for the 15 opportunity to present itself, and he defeated and pinned a five-time national

champion.
