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) According to Guglielmo Cavallo and Roger Chartier, reading aloud was a common practice in the ancient world, the Middle Ages, and as late as the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Readers were “listeners attentive to a reading voice,” and “the text addressed to the ear as much as to the eye.” The significance of reading aloud continued well into the nineteenth century.
Using Charles Dickens’s nineteenth century as a point of departure, it would be useful to look at the familial and social uses of reading aloud and reflect on the functional change of the practice. Dickens habitually read his work to a domestic audience or friends. In his later years he also read to a broader public crowd. Chapters of reading aloud also abound in Dickens’s own literary works. More importantly, he took into consideration the Victorian practice when composing his prose, so much so that his writing is meant to be heard, not only read on the page.
Performing a literary text orally in a Victorian family is well documented. Apart from promoting a pleasant family relationship, reading aloud was also a means of protecting young people from the danger of solitary(孤独的)reading. Reading aloud was a tool for parental guidance. By means of reading aloud, parents could also introduce literature to their children, and as such the practice combined leisure and more serious purposes such as religious cultivation in the youths. Within the family, it was commonplace for the father to read aloud. Dickens read to his children: one of his surviving and often-reprinted photographs features him posing on a chair, reading to his two daughters.
Reading aloud in the nineteenth century was as much a class phenomenon as a family affair, which points to a widespread belief that Victorian readership primarily meant a middle-class readership. Those who fell outside this group tended to be overlooked by Victorian publishers. Despite this, Dickens, with his publishers Chapman and Hall, managed to distribute literary reading materials to people from different social classes by reducing the price of novels. This was also made possible with the technological and mechanical advances in printing and the spread of railway networks at the time.
Since the literacy level of this section of the population was still low before school attendance was made compulsory in 1650 by the Education Act a considerable number of people from lower classes would listen to recitals of texts. Dickens’s readers, who were from such social backgrounds, might have heard Dickens in this manner. Several biographers of Dickens also draw attention to the fact that it was typical for his texts to be read aloud in Victorian England, and thus literacy was not an obstacle for reading Dickens. Reading was no longer a chiefly closeted form of entertainment practiced by the middle class at home.
A working class home was in many ways not convenient for reading: there were too many distractions, the lighting
was bad, and the home was also often half a workhouse. As a result, the Victorians from the non-middle classes tended to find relaxation outside the home such as in parks and squares, which were ideal places for the public to go while away their limited leisure time. Reading aloud, in particular public reading, to some extent blurred the distinctions between classes. The Victorian middle class defined its identity through differences with other classes. Dickens’s popularity among readers from the non-middle classes contributed to the creation of a new class of readers who read through listening.
Different readers of Dickens were not reading solitarily and “jealously,” to use Walter Benjamin’s term. Instead, they often enjoyed a more communal experience, an experience that is generally lacking in today’s world. Modern audiobooks can be considered a contemporary version of the practice. However, while the twentieth and
twentieth-first-century trend for individuals to listen to audiobooks keeps some characteristics of traditional reading aloud—such as “listeners attentive to a reading voice” and the ear being the focus—it is a far more solitary activity. 1、What does the author want to convey in Paragraph 1? A.The history of reading aloud. B.The significance of reading aloud. C.The development of reading practice. D.The roles of readers in reading practice.
2、How did the practice of reading aloud influence Dickens’s works? A.He started to write for a broader public crowd. B.He included more readable contents in his novels. C.Scenes of reading aloud became common in his works. D.His works were intended to be both heard and read.
3、How many benefits did reading aloud bring to a Victorian family? A.2. C.2.
B.1. D.3.
4、Where could a London steel worker possibly have gone to for reading? A.Working place. C.Nearby bookstores.
B.His/her own house. D.Trafalgar Square.
5、What change did reading aloud bring to Victorian society?
A.Different classes started to appreciate and read literary works together. B.People from lower social classes became accepted as middle-class. C.The differences between classes grew less significant than before..
D.A non-class society in which everyone could read started to form. 6、What is likely to be discussed after the last paragraph? A.New reading trends for individuals. B.The harm of modern audiobooks. C.The material for modern reading. D.Reading aloud in contemporary societies.
22.(8分) Andrew Jackson has been sitting pretty on the $20 bill for 87 years. Is it time to bring some new blood to the banknote?
The non-profit organization called Women on 20s is campaigning to put a woman’s face on American money. Barbara Ortiz Howard, the company’s founder, would like to see a woman on the $20 bill by 2020.That year marks the 100-year anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which gave women the right to vote.
Howard got the idea when she realized that her daughter had no everyday reminders of famous women in history. She asked her friend Susan Ades Stone, a journalist, to join her cause. “Part of the aim is to educate as many people as possible about as many women as possible,” Ades says. “We want to see how many people we can reach.”
American money values the successes of former presidents and founding fathers. Currently, there are only two women on money: Susan B.Anthony is the face of the rare dollar coin, and Sacagawea can be seen on the gold dollar coin. There are no women on paper bills.
With help from writers and historians, Howard and Stone came up with a voting list featuring 15 important women. Ades says there is a standard for choosing candidates. They look at the women’s contributions to our world, and at what challenges they faced.
More than 72,000 people have voted so far in the poll. Ades says the competition has narrowed to a “very close race”, but won’t say who’s in the lead. After two rounds of voting, Women on 20s will send their campaign to the White House for consideration. The final decision is up to the Treasury Secretary, Jack Lew. Lew is unlikely to make a change without the president’s approval. But last year, when a little girl asked the president why there aren’t any women on US currency, he said that adding a woman is a “pretty good idea”. 1、When did American women begin to enjoy voting rights? A.In the 1920s. B.In the 19th century.
C.Fewer than 20 years ago. D.More than 200 years ago. 2、We can know from the text that ________.
A.Howard and Stone decided the voting list on their own B.Howard’s idea has something to do with her daughter
C.so far no American women have appeared on coins D.former presidents rule American money 3、What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.Ades has announced the victor of the voting. B.It’s impossible for Jack Lew to make a change. C.The president will probably support such a change. D.The final decision is due to be made by the president. 4、What can be the best title of the text? A.The future faces of money B.Different faces chosen on money C.Constant changes in money faces D.A campaign for women’s faces on money
23.(8分) Throughout history scientists have risked their health and their lives in their search for the truth. Sir Isaac Newton, the seventeenth century scientist, was very smart, but that didn’t stop him from doing some pretty stupid things. In his laboratory in Cambridge he often did the strangest experiments. Once, while testing how light passes through lenses (晶状体), he put a long needle into his eye, pushed it to the back, and then moved it around just to see what would happen. Luckily, nothing long-lasting did. On another occasion he stared at the sun for as long as he could bear, to discover what effect this would have on his sight. Again he escaped suffering permanent damage, though he had to spend some days in a darkened room before his eyes recovered.
In the 1750s the Swedish chemist Karl Scheele was the first person to find a way to produce phosphorus (磷). He in fact discovered eight more chemical elements including chlorine (氯), though he didn’t get any praise for them. He was a very clever scientist, but his one failing was a curious habit of tasting a little of every substance he worked with. This risky practice finally caught up with him, and in 1786 he was found dead in his laboratory surrounded by a large number of dangerous chemicals, any of which might have been responsible for his death.
Eugene Shoemaker was a respected geologist. He spent a large part of his life studying craters (火山口) on the moon, and how they were formed, and later did research into the comets of the planet Jupiter. In 1997 he and his wife were in the Australian desert where they went every year to search for places where comets might have hit the earth. While driving in the Tanami desert, normally one of the emptiest places in the world, another vehicle crashed into them and Shoemaker was killed on the spot. Some of his ashes (骨灰) were sent to the moon aboard the Lunar Prospector spacecraft and left there — he is the only person who has had this honor. 1、What does the underlined word “permanent” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Brief. C.Lasting.
B.Slight. D.Ordinary.
2、What did Karl Scheele like doing when performing experiments? A.Tasting chemicals. C.Experimenting in darkness.
B.Staying in the empty lab. D.Working together with others.
3、What special honor was Shoemaker given after his death? A.He was buried in the Tanami desert. B.Some of his ashes were placed on the moon. C.One comet of Jupiter was named after him. D.A spacecraft carrying him traveled around Jupiter. 4、The text is mainly about three great scientists’ _____. A.special honors C.famous experiments
B.great achievements D.suffering in the job
24.(8分)Intelligent people are more likely to trust others,while those who score lower on measures of intelligence are less likely to do so.Oxford University researchers based their finding on an analysis of the 'General Social Survey'.
The authors say one explanation could be that more intelligent individuals are better at judging characters and may spend more time building relationships with people they can trust.Another reason could be that smarter people are better at weighing up situations and assessing whether or not the other person will hold up his or her end of a bargain. “Intelligence is shown to be linked with trusting others.”said the study's lead author,Noah Carl of Oxford University,“This finding supports what other researchers have argued,namely that being a good judge of character is a distinct part of human intelligence.”
In addition,the study shows that individuals who are more trusting are also happier with their lives and had higher levels of physical health.The Oxford researchers found,however,that the links between trust and health,and between trust and happiness,are not explained by intelligence.The findings confirmed that trust is a valuable resource for an individual,and is not simply a measure of intelligence.
The authors say the research is significant because the study of social trust could have far-reaching implications in public welfare,as social trust contributes to the success of important social institutions,such as welfare systems and financial markets.
According to Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development,trust is in increasingly short supply in current generation.This decline threatens world leaders’ ability to handle some of today's key challenges like global warming,and the political system.There are good reasons to think that governments should try to develop more trust in
society.
Distrust usually causes friction in personal relationships,careers and politics among others,says Stephen Covey. Although majority of people say that trust can never be restored once it's broken,Stephen feels it can be brought back. \"It's not easy,it takes time,but you do it through your behavior,not just things you say.\" 1、It can be concluded from the analysis of the General Social Survey that . A.intelligent people tend to show more trust in others B.judgment of characters determines the level of intelligence C.intelligence accounts for the connection between trust and health D.intelligent individuals spend less time on interpersonal relationship 2、What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Make the best of a situation. B.Stick to one's promise as agreed. C.Figure out the true value of a bargain. D.Make an assessment of a deal. 3、According to the research,higher level of social trust is . A.a decisive basis for stable political system B.a basic step to deal with global warming
C.a contributing factor to successful public institutions D.a complete solution to interpersonal conflicts
4、When it comes to rebuilding trust,Stephen is most likely to agree that . A.actions always speak louder than words
B.behavior is a mirror in which everyone shows his image C.behavior is largely determined by mind D.action is the proper fruit of knowledge
When she first started learning about the climate change from one of her elders, Fawn Sharp was invited 25.(10分)on a helicopter flight over the Olympic Mountains to survey the Mount Anderson glacier(冰川). But the glacier was gone, melted by the warming climate. Sharp had a deep sense of loss when she discovered the glacier wasn't there anymore.
Loss is a growing issue for people working and living on the front lines of climate change. And that gave Jennifer Wren Atkinson, a full-time lecturer at the University of Washington Bothell, US, an idea for a class.
This term, she taught students on the Bothell campus about the emotional burdens of environmental study. She used the experiences of Nalive American tribes (部落) , scientists and activists, and asked her 24 students to face the reality that there is no easy fix -- that \"this is such an intractable problem that they're going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives.”
Student Cody Dillon used to be a climate science skeptic (怀疑论者) . Then he did his own reading and research, and changed his mind.
Dillon wasn't going into environmental work--he was a computer-science major. Yet,the potential for a worldwide environmental catastrophe seemed so real to him five years ago that he quit his job and became a full-time volunteer for an environmental group that worked on restoration (恢复) projects.
Six months into the work, he decided that Alkinson's class was just what he was looking for - - a place where he could discuss his concerns about a changing climate.
Atkinson said she hopes the class helped her students prepare themselves for the amount of environmental loss that will happen over their lifetimes.
“We are already changing the planet - . so many species are going to be lost, displaced or massively impacted (巨大影响的) ,”she said. “The future isn't going to be what they imagined.” 1、Why did the author mention the case of Fawn Sharp? A.To lay a basis for Fawn Sharp's further research. B.To prove Fawn Sharp's work is similar to Atkinson's. C.To lead into the issue of loss caused by climate change. D.To show scientists' concern about the Mount Anderson glacier. 2、What's the main purpose of Atkinson's class?
A.To explore how different people deal with climate change. B.To get students more concerned about environmental issue. C.To find solutions to the Olympic Mountains environmental issue. D.To teach students how to conduct a research about environment.
3、Which of the following best explains “intractable” underlined in Paragraph Three? A.Simple. B.Difficult. C.Common. D.Interesting.
4、How did Atkinson's class influence Dillon?
A.Dillon worked as a part-time volunteer for restoration projects. B.It made him realize a planet-wide climate disaster would happen. C.It encouraged him to be more involved in environmental protection. D.It discouraged him to work on restoration projects for the environment.

The saying is meant to tell us the power of words. Put simply, a good word can make people warm in winter while a bad word can make them feel cold in summer. Of course it means more than that. It reminds us that simple but warm words can lift up a person who loses heart and make him through the day while destructive words to someone who is down can be what it takes to kill them.
Therefore, we should be cautious about our words in daily life and always say positive words to those who we come across and never hurt people by using mean words.
