第二部分 阅读理解（共25小题。每一节每小题2分，第二节每小题1分；满分45分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑 Mary and Peter were having a picnic with some friends near a river when Mary noticed an object overhead. "Look!" she shouted to her friends. "That's a spaceship up there and it's going to land here." Frightened by the strange silver-colored spaceship, most of the young people got in their cars and drove away quickly. Peter was fond of Mary and always stayed close to her. They, more curious than frightened, watched the spaceship land and saw a door open. When nobody came out, they went to the spaceship and entered inside. Peter followed Mary into the spaceship and did not hear the door closed behind him. The temperature fell rapidly and the two young people lost consciousness. When they woke up, they were surprised to see that they were back by the river again. The spaceship had gone. Their car was nearby. "What happened?" asked Mary. Peter scratched (抓) his head, saying slowly, "Don't ask me. Perhaps we had a dream. Did you...Did you see a spaceship?" "Yes," said Mary. "And we both went into it. Then..." she looked at her wrist. "That's funny. My watch has stopped. Oh, well, come on. It's time to go home." Driving about fifty meters, they found their way blocked by a thick wall made of something like glass. They got out of the car and tried to find their way round the wall but discovered that they were inside a circular wall. It was like a mirror and prevented them from seeing through it. On the other side of the wall, strange creatures walked past slowly. A few stopped to stare through the wall and read a new notice which, translated into English, said: "New arrivals at the zoo: a pair of Earthlings in their natural surroundings with their mobile house." 1. When the spaceship arrived, why didn't Peter drive away? A. He did not like leaving Mary. B. He knew that the spaceship was harmless. C. He was too frightened to drive. D. There was a wall blocking the road. 2. Why did Peter enter the spaceship? A. He saw the food and was hungry. B. Mary told him to enter it. C. He just followed Mary. D. He wanted to study it. 3. Peter scratched his head so we know that _____. A. he had lost consciousness B. he was puzzled and did not know what to say to Mary C. he had lost his memory D. he was still half asleep 4. What do the words "strange creatures" mean to tell us? A. They were wild animals in a zoo. B. They were robbers. C. They had landed on Earth in a spaceship and lived there. D. The young couple were on another planet.

My House My mother moved a lot when she was growing up on account of Grandpa being in the army. She hated having to adjust to new schools and make new friends. That’s why I thought she was joking when she put forward the idea of moving. But she was completely serious. “For just the two of us,” my mother said, “an apartment in the city will suit our needs much better.” Personally, I think she’s lost her mind. I guess I can understand why she would want to move, but what about me and what this house means to me? I suppose if you looked at my house, you might think it was just another country house. But to me it is anything but standard. I moved into this house with my parents ten years ago. I can still remember that first day like it was yesterday. The first thing I noticed was the big front yard. To me it seemed like an ocean of grass—I couldn’t wait to dive in. The backyard was full of gnarled (扭曲的, 粗糙的) and scary trees that talk on windy nights. But I grew to like them and the shadows they cast in my room. My father and I even built a small tree house, where I often go to remember all the wonderful times we had before Father’s death. This house is special—maybe only to me—but special nevertheless. It’s the little seemingly insignificant things that make this house so special to me: the ice-cold tile floors that make me tremble on midnight snack runs; the smell of my father’s pipe that still exists; the towering bookcases of my mother; the view outside my bedroom window. This house holds too many memories, memories which would be lost if we gave it up. 1. Why did the author’s mother decide to move? A. Because she hated the countryside. B. Because Grandpa was on constant move. C. Because Dad’s death made her lose her mind. D. Because she thought a city flat more fit for them. 2. What impressed the author when she first moved into the house? A. The tree house. B. The big trees. C. The cold floors. D. The green grass. 3. How did the author let us feel that the house was special to her? A. By arguing whether the house was standard. B. By explaining why the house suited their needs. C. By describing the small things related to her house. D. By comparing the differences between country and city life. 4. My mother moved a lot when she was growing up because of ________. A. Grandpa being in the army. B.their family’s liking moving C. the life’s need D. Mother’s work

You’re in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater. You listen to their conversation： “I can’t believe it—a Lorenzo Betrolla! They are almost impossible to find. Isn’t it beautiful？And it’s a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome”. They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater. It’s nice and the price is right. You’ve never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls looked really stylish. They must know. So，you buy it. You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency. They are actually paid to go from store to store, talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes. Every day we notice what people are wearing, driving and eating. If the person looks cool，the product seems cool，too. This is the secret of undercover marketing. Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it. Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don’t pay attention to traditional advertising. This is particularly true of the MTV generation—consumers between the age of 18 and 34. It is a golden group. They have a lot of money to spend, but they don’t trust ads. So advertising agencies hire young actors to “perform” in bars and other places where young adults go. Some people might call this practice misleading, but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative.“Look at traditional advertising. Its effectiveness is decreasing”. However，one might ask what exactly is “real” about the young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater. Advertising executives (主管) would say it’s no less real than flu ad. The difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something. You don’ t know a conversation you overhear is just a performance. 1. The two attractive young women were talking so that they could _______. A. get the sweater at a lower price B. be heard by people around C. be admired by other shoppers D. decide on buying the sweater 2. Lorenzo Bertolla is _______. A. a very popular male singer B. an advertising agency C. a clothing company in Rome D. the brand name of a sweater 3. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage？ A. The two girls are in fact employed by the Lorenzo Bertolla Company. B. The MTV generation tends to be more easily influenced by ads. C. Traditional advertising is becoming less effective because it’s too direct. D. Undercover marketing will surely be banned soon by the government. 4. Which of the following would be the best title for the text？ A. Two Attractive Shoppers B. Lorenzo Bertolla Sweaters C. Ways of Advertising D. Undercover Marketing

EI've been writing for most of my life. The book Writing Without Teachers introduced me to one difference and one practice that have greatly helped my writing processes. The difference is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to use both of the creative mind and the critical (批判) mind to reach a finished result，they cannot work in parallel (平行，并行) no matter how much we might like to think so. Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest trouble with writing that most of us meet. If you are listening to a 5th grade English teacher correcting your grammar while you are trying to capture a fleeting（稍纵即逝的）thought, the thought will die. If you catch the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking as it is. The practice that can help you overcome your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls“free writing”. In free writing, the goal is to get words down on paper non-stop，usually for 15-20 minutes. No stopping, no going back, no criticizing. The aim is to get the words flowing. As the words begin to flow，the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen. Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that you’ve persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. Most likely，you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near. Instead of staring at a blank start and filling it with words no matter how bad they could be，stop halfway through your available time and rework your raw writing into something closer to the finished product. Move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices. 1. When the author says the creative mind and the critical mind“cannot work in parallel”in the writing process，he means _______. A. no one can be both creative and critical B. they can’t be regarded as equally important C. they are in constant conflict with each other D. one cannot use them at the same time 2. What usually prevents people from writing on is _______. A. putting their ideas in raw form B. attempting to edit as they’re writing C. ignoring grammatical problems D. trying to capture their fleeting thoughts 3. What is the chief purpose of the first stage of writing？ A. To organize one’s thoughts logically. B. To choose an appropriate topic. C. To get one’s ideas down quickly. D. To collect many more raw materials. 4. In what way does the critical mind help the writer in the writing process？ A. It refines(improves) his writing into a better shape. B. It helps him to come up with new ideas. C. It saves the writing time available to him. D. It allows him to sit on the side and observe.
