第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40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。
A
Many people don?t realize that like people, trees suffer from stress, too. So how do you know if your tree is stressed? Trees actually speak quite loudly when they are stressed; you just need to learn how to listen?
If your tree is wilting(枯萎), it probably needs water or you might watering it too much! Unfortunately, under and over-watering exhibits the same. However, a little research work will have the problem solved in no time. If you live in a place where rainfall is the only source of water, remember many parts of the country are short of water. Giving your tree proper water is a good idea. If your tree is not quite right, with
are signs of insects, disease or nutrient problems. Look on the undersides of leaves, as this is where they like to hide.
Nutrient problems will appear if your soil is not right for the tree. If the climate is not suitable a tree is stressed from too much or too little water and it sends out signals to insects, which take advantage of its weaknesses. Insects weaken the tree even more, and then diseases take hold.
Trees will exhibit signs such as dropping bark or leaves when roots are disturbed. At this time, do not decide the tree needs chemicals. Feeding a sick tree will just make it sicker. Sometimes we love our plants to death. Too many chemicals may make your tree grow faster, but fast growth upsets a tree?s balance. The faster a tree grows the less energy it has for defense against insects and disease.
56、What should you do if a tree is wilting in the writer?s opinion?
A、Give it some water B、Use proper chemicals
C、Make a little research first D、Solve its nutrient problems 57、What does the underlined word “discolorations” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A、The change or loss of color B、The sudden and bad smell C、Becoming nice and bright D、The different appearance 58、What signs does it show if a tree drops its leaves?
A、It is short of water B、It needs some nutrients C、Its roots are disturbed D、It has insects or disease 59、If too many chemicals are given to a tree, _______.
A、it can?t bear them and will die at once B、it will be stopped from growing fast C、it will probably fall down in the winds
D、it will lose its defense against insects and disease 60、This passage is written mainly to tell readers
A、what causes a tree to wilt B、how to grow or protect tress C、planting a tree isn?t an easy job D、how to deal with the stress of trees
B
If you find an injured bird in your back yard, do you know what to do? Use your
3
phone? The wildlife-rescue organization(野生动物援救组织)Animal Watch has developed a new mobile application(应用程序)and a website called AnimalHelpNow designed to help with such a situation.
“It was clear that someone using the application was likely to be in a stressful and perhaps dangerous situation for either themselves or the animal,” says volunteer programmer Frank Vernon. “With that in mind we made the application as simple and easy as possible.”
AnimalHelpNow uses your phone?s GPS to find where the animal is located. Then the application asks questions about the animal: Is it a wild animal or a farm animal? Or is it a pet? Could the animal put humans in danger? Based on the location, the time of day, the type of animal, and the injury, AnimalHelpNow will suggest a care provider that?s right for your situation.
For wild animals, the application might suggest nearby rescue equipment that is just for injured wildlife. For pets or farm animals, the application lists the nearest veterinarians who care for the type of animal that has been injured.
“The application is designed to work even when you fail to reach wireless network(无线网)service,” says Dave Crawford, the director of Animal Watch. “So whether you?re driving through a remote area on the eastern Colorado plains, hiking a way to work, you?ll still be able to find the help you need.”
For now, information is limited to(局限于)Colorado, but that could change soon. “We hope to develop it across the country,” Crawford says. “The challenging part will lie in gathering information about wildlife rehabilitations(康复中心)and veterinarians in other parts of the country.”
61、By mentioning “an injured bird” in the first paragraph, the author tries to _____.
A、remind readers to protect birds B、introduce the topic to be followed C、tell the reader how to help the bird D、show how dangerous the bird?s situation is 62、According to Frank Vernon, the application_________.
A、is easy to operate B、is very expensive
C、has many functions D、can only be used on the phone
63、In the fifth paragraph, the underlined part “a dead zone” probably refers to_______.
A、a place with many deadly dangers B、a neighborhood where few people live C、an area where the phone signal is very weak D、a park on the eastern Colorado plains 64、What do we know from the passage?
A、The application from the Animal Watch B、AnimalHelpNow is a good care provider C、Wild animals are more easily injured than pets D、At present the application works only in Colorado 65、The best title for the passage would be ________.
A、Do Your Best to Help Injured Animals B、Rescuing Animals—With Your Phone C、Animal Watch Focuses on Wild Animals D、New Technology Brings Animals a Better Life

Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg.I didn?t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended，as there are a whole lot of antique (古董) shops near my home.So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me.I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception.I was quite wrong.The man wouldn?t even look at my chair.
The second shop，though slightly more polite，was just the same，and the third and the fourth—so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind.I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper，“Would you like to buy a chair？”He looked it over carefully and said，“Yes，not a bad chair.How much do you want for it，sir？”“Twenty pounds，”I said，“OK，”he said，“I?ll give you twenty pounds.”“It?s got a slightly broken leg，”I said.“Yes，I saw that，it?s nothing.”
Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited.“What will you do with it？”I asked.“Oh，it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.”“I?ll buy it，”I said.“What do you mean？You?ve just sold it to me，”he said.“Yes，I know but I?ve changed my mind. I?m sorry. I?ll give you twenty?seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy，”he said.
Then，suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You?re right，”I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said ?Would you mend this chair for me？?.” “I wouldn?t have agreed to do it，”he said. “We don?t do repairs，not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I?ll mend this for you，shall we say 5 pounds？”He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.
71、We can learn from the text that in the first shop，the writer ______.

73、The expression “the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper ___.

A、￡5 B、￡7 C、￡20 D、￡27 75、From the text，we can learn that the writer was ______.

A
When I was about twelve, I was headed to a restaurant for dinner with my family. It was winter, and on that night, the wind was really blowing.
As my mom and I headed towards the restaurant from our car, a girl about my age and her mother came up to us. They asked if we had any spare change. My mom immediately asked where they kept their things. They pointed to an old car in a parking lot across the street. The girl said there were six of them living in that car, which
was the same size as my own family.
My mom said she had something to do, and after handing the people a few dollars, we said good-bye. Then, my mother sent us inside the restaurant but she didn?t come.
Later, I found out that she had gone home and emptied our cupboards into a few bags. Then, she brought that food over to the car and handed the bags to the family. I wasn?t there when that part happened, but I can only imagine the joy it brought to their faces.
A few days later, when I actually found out about what she had done, I asked her why she helped those people. She told me that we were lucky and that her family wasn?t as lucky. I remember the face of that girl who had asked us for change—how she was the same age as me, yet we looked so different.
I remember thinking that the other girl didn?t have any food to eat, and she was headed back to a cold car shared with her family. I will never forget what my mom did that night, and how she taught me one of the best lessons I ever learned. 56、What was the writer going to do that winter?
A、Go to the parking lot. B、Go to a restaurant. C、To meet his mother. D、Go home. 57、How did the girl try to make a living?
A、Asking help from others. B、Selling old cars. C、Staying at the parking lot. D、Working by herself. 58、How many people were there in the writer?s family? A、Four. B、Five. C、Six. D、Seven. 59、What did the cupboard contain?
A、Money. B、Toys. C、Clothes. D、Food. 60、What lessons did the writer learn?
A、Never go to the restaurant for dinner. B、Don?t go out in winter. C、Be luckier than poor girl. D、Help those in need.
B
The day started early for cowboys on David Madera?s Farm. At 7 am about 15
9
cowboys, including 4 generations of the family, rode out to the farm to gather the cattle for the every-year branding(打烙印).
At about 8:30 am, family, friends and neighbors gathered to photograph and videotape the cows? arrival. The cows then were separated and branded.
This year?s branding was one of the largest within the last 50 years. The branding was a chance for the family to spend time together and pass down the cowboy lifestly to the next generation.
“It?s good to be home helping with the branding. It?s a big thing,” said Madera?s daughter Debby who is living in College Station, Texas. “It?s exciting to watch my kids do the same thing as I did as a kid.”
Inside the corral(畜栏), cowboys, some dressed in boots, chaps, jeans and hats and others in ball caps, T-shirts and jeans, helped separate the adult cattle from the young cattle before they were branded.
State law asks that cattle should be branded, or they become the state?s cattle, Madera said. Every state has an official who looks for a brand cattle are sold.
Cowboys do many kinds of tasks every day on the farm. For the experienced cowboys working in Madera?s branding, all the tasks were finished in about one minute per cow. Cowboys could do the tasks so quickly because there were good ropers pulling the cows for them.
61、Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?
A、There were 19 cowboys altogether on the farm. B、Branding the cattle took place twice every year. C、Many people watched the scene of branding.
D、The cows were branded on the separate and different farms. 62、We can learn from the passage that ________.
A、the farm hadn?t experienced such a large branding for 50 years B、the family didn?t enjoy the branding so much as the cowboys C、the cowboy?s lifestyle could only be passed down at the branding D、cowboys needn?t separate the cows before they were branded 63、Why were the cattle branded?
A、Because the family, friends and neighbors needed to take photos and videotape it B、Because the kids wanted to do such a job as the old generation had C、Because cowboys needed to separate the adult cattle from the young cattle D、Because the state has such a strict law about branding 64、The author tells us in the last paragraph that ______.
A、cowboys? job is boring and tiring B、cowboys always finish their tasks alone C、cowboys often show off their experienced skills
D、even experienced cowboys need someone?s help to finish their tasks 65、What?s the best title of the passage?
A、Cowboys B、A day for cowboys C、Living on the farm D、Visiting a farm

Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg.I didn?t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended，as there are a whole lot of antique (古董) shops near my home.So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me.I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception.I was quite wrong.The man wouldn?t even look at my chair.
The second shop，though slightly more polite，was just the same，and the third and the fourth—so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind.I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper，“Would you like to buy a chair？”He looked it over carefully and said，“Yes，not a bad chair.How much do you want for it，sir？”“Twenty pounds，”I said，“OK，”he said，“I?ll give you twenty pounds.”“It?s got a slightly broken leg，”I said.“Yes，I saw that，it?s nothing.”
Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited.“What will you do with it？”I asked.“Oh，it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.”“I?ll buy it，”I said.“What do you mean？You?ve just sold it to me，”he said.“Yes，I know but I?ve changed my mind. I?m sorry. I?ll give you twenty?seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy，”he said.
10
Then，suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You?re right，”I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said ?Would you mend this chair for me？?.” “I wouldn?t have agreed to do it，”he said. “We don?t do repairs，not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I?ll mend this for you，shall we say 5 pounds？”He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.
66、We can learn from the text that in the first shop，the writer ______.

When John Milton, writer of“Paradise Lost”, entered Cambridge University, in 1625, he was already skilled in Latin after seven years of studying it as his second language at St. Paul?s School, London. Like all English boys who prepared for college in grammar schools, he had learned not only to read Latin but also to speak and write it smoothly and correctly. His pronunciation of Latin was English, however, and seemed to have sounded strange to his friends when he later visited Italy.
Schoolboys gained their skill in Latin in a bitter way. They kept in mind the rules to make learning by heart easier. They first made a word -for -word translation and then an
idiomatic translation into English. As they increased their skill, they translated their English back into Latin without referring to the book and then compared their translation with the original. The schoolmaster was always at hand to encourage them. All
After several years of study, the boys began to write compositions in imitation of the Latin writers they read. And as they began to read Latin poems, they began to write poems in Latin. Because Milton was already a poet at ten, his poems were much better than those painfully put together by the other boys. During the seven years Milton spent at university, he made regular use of his command of Latin. He wrote some excellent Latin poems, which he published among his works in 1645. 71、What does the passage mainly tell about?
A、How John Milton wrote“ Paradise Lost”. B、How John Milton studied Latin. C、How John Milton became famous. D、How John Milton became a poet.
72、Which of the following is true of John Milton’s pronunciation of Latin?
A、It has a strong Italian accent. B、It has an uncommon accent.
C、It was natural and easy to understand. D、It was bad and difficult to understand. 73、It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A、Milton?s training in Latin was similar to that of the other boys
B、Milton hadn?t learned any foreign language except Latin before going to college C、Milton?s Italian friends helped him with Latin when talking D、Milton's classmates learned Latin harder but worse than Milton 74、Which of the following is suggested in the passage?
A、The schoolmaster mainly helped those who were bad at Latin.
B、The schoolmaster usually stood beside the schoolboys with a stick in his hand. C、The schoolboys could repeat Latin grammar rules from memory. D、Some of the schoolboys were quick at writing compositions in Latin.
11
75、What is the meaning of the underlined part“ Latin should be beaten in”that the writer wishes you to understand?
A、Schoolboys should be punished if they were lazy to learn Latin.
B、Schoolboys should be encouraged if they had difficulty in learning Latin.
C、Schoolboys were expected to master Latin in a short time. D、Schoolboys had to study Latin in a hard way. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）
