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和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Olga Murray laughs when she’s called a modern-day abolitionist. It is, however, a fair description.
This 82-year-old retired lawyer from California now spends half of her time living in Katmandu, Nepal, where she works to free child slaves.
“It’s very difficult to think that in the 21st century, this is a practice,” said Murray. But, she argued, “it’s happening all over the world, and a lot of people don’t know about it.”
With her silver hair and fair skin, Murray stands out in Nepal, a poor, landlocked country sandwiched between China and India. With remarkable ease she navigates the messy streets of the capital, where painted yogis and sacred cows are common sights.
She is no tourist. She and her organization have come up with a remarkably simple and successful method of liberating hundreds of young female slaves.
For generations in Nepal poor families from the countryside have been selling their daughters to wealthy families where the girls, known as “kamlaris”, are forced to do housework.
When asked why parents would sell their children, Murray explained, “It’s not because they don’t love them. It’s like they have no choice. Sometimes it’s a choice between selling their girl and feeding the rest of their family.”
The practice has become so widespread and socially acceptable that we were able to meet and interview slave girls and their owners.
We found Bijani Chaury, an adorable 12-year-old, in the well-appointed home of Ejopal Bijani’s life bears little resemblance（相似） to the plantation-style slavery of pre-Civil War America. There are no chains or farm labor. She is, however, forced to work under threat of violence and for no pay, which is an internationally recognized definition of modern-day slavery.
21. Olga Murray went to Nepal in order to _________. A. pay a visit to its beautiful scenery B. set up an organization for children C. liberate young female slaves
D. support a new practice about slavery
22. According to the passage, Olga Murray __________. A. is still working as a lawyer in California B. spends most of time living in Nepal
C. works as a traffic controller in Nepal street D. put forward a good way of freeing child slaves 23. Kamlaris are those girls who ________. A. are forced to do housework without pay
第3页 共14页
B. are sold by their own relatives C. are not liked by their parents D. have to do farm labor in chains
24. The underlined word “abolitionist” in Paragraph 1 refers to a person who ______. A. supports slave-selling trade B. is in favor of freeing slaves C. approves of working abroad D. volunteers to take care of slaves
B
Like many men at some point, I dream about opening a bar. I plan to call it Work Out. It will cater (迎合) to married women in need of a little fun. On Friday nights, they will be able to come here and enjoy themselves.
See, I have a gift for business. I am, as my wife Zsa Zsa likes to note, “ A man with a million ideas, none of them very good.” Speaking of Zsa Zsa, she is fed up with this plain little life I’ve made for us — too many kids, too many chores, mind-numbing debt. The other day, she said she thought we needed a new family car. “Sure. How about an ’87 Lincoln?” I said, and saw my dear Zsa Zsa age about 20 years, and become her mother right before my eyes.
Yes, money is our madness. Last year, we thought we had found a little cushion when I published a book about the life here in suburban America. It sold 12 copies — six of them to my mother. Four other copies went to various aunts and uncles, who used them for martini coasters, then sold them at yard sales. The two remaining copies went to perfect strangers. (I think I owe you dinner, whoever you are. Call me, OK? We’ll arrange something.)
When the book didn’t take off, I wrote a TV show. Then I penned a short novel based on the earlier TV idea that didn’t sell. Currently, I am at work on a set of encyclopedias. In a month, I plan to sell them door-to-door.
Such is the life of a writer, sending off the most personal thoughts possible to his hard drive. I am a writer, but also the breadwinner in my family. I’m at the keyboard at 6 almost every morning, hoping to tap out one idea—just one—that will take us up the hill, to the mountain, to the top.
25. According to the passage, the author’s life is indeed _________. A. hard B. easy C. poor D. wealthy
26. By saying “Sure. How about an ’87 Lincoln”, the author means __________. A. he really wanted to buy that car B. he was showing off their fortune C. he thought his wife would like it
D. he was joking about their economic situation
27. What was the result of the book the author mentioned in the third paragraph? A. He sold it door-to-door.
第4页 共14页
B. It didn’t sell well at all.
C. He made a lot of money from it.
D. It was really a cushion for his family.
28. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the author and his wife? A. He has a real gift for business. B. He isn’t serious enough about life. C. He is a hard-working writer.
D. His wife is satisfied with their plain life.
C
Scientists have invented a lotion（洗液） that gives laboratory mice a dark tan（被太阳晒成的棕褐色皮肤）in just three weeks. No, they aren’t planning to send the mice to the beach. But the research could be an important step in creating a lotion that helps humans avoid getting skin cancer.
Everyone knows that people with pale skin — and especially redheads — are most likely to get sunburned. That’s because their skin isn’t good at producing melanin（黑素）, which protects skin cells by blocking the sun’s dangerous ultraviolet (UV) rays.
Dr. David Fisher is an oncologist — a doctor who treats cancer. He was testing a lotion to see if it would cause mice to produce melanin in their skin, just like the sun does, without the danger of being exposed to the sun’s rays. The special ingredient(成分) in the lotion comes from a plant.
“We had suspected that it would darken the skin (that’s why we tested it), but we didn’t know that it could turn the appearance of a very fair-skinned mouse so dark,” says Fisher.
Someday researchers might be able to make a lotion that will turn human skin darker to protect it from dangerous UV rays. But that’s a long way off.
“I have been tempted to try some of the lotion on my own skin,” explains Fisher. “However, there is not yet any study in human skin to test whether the treatment is safe.” “It’s fun to play out in the sunshine, but remember,” says Dr. Fisher, “the sun can be dangerous. It can injure our skin and cause bad effects that don’t happen until much later.”
That’s why we must be careful about avoiding sun exposure—until scientists find just the right solution.
29. Dr. David Fisher made the experiment in order to __________. A. give mice a dark skin B. send mice to the beach C. help people with skin cancer D. test if a lotion works 30. Which of the following are most likely to get sunburned?
A. People with dark and yellow skin. B. People with pale skin and redheads. B. People with dark and pale skin. D. People with dark skin and redheads. 31. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to “__________”. A. melanin B. the sun’s rays C. the lotion D. a plant
第5页 共14页
32. From the passage we know that ____________.
A. the lotion Fisher invented now can help humans to avoid skin cancer B. the lotion that had invented had little effect on the mice’s skin C. researchers will make a lotion to protect human skin very soon D. people don’t find harms of sun exposure easily at the beginning D
When Heather Ramirez of Auburn, California, went to the dentist recently with her husband Len, she wasn’t there to have her teeth cleaned. She and her husband are professional snake removers. They were there to catch and return to the wild a rattlesnake that had moved indoors.
She describes her work as “protecting people from rattlesnakes—and protecting rattlesnakes from people”. In her part of the country, the northern Pacific rattlesnake often comes face-to-face with humans.
“We find rattlesnakes everywhere,” says Ramirez. “In houses, in yards and woodpiles, under decks.” She says that the snakes aren’t invading human homes—it’s the other way around. “These animals were here first, and we humans came in and built houses. We are living in their territory.” Many people are frightened when they see a rattler and call for help right away. When the Ramirez phone rings, the couple drops whatever they are doing and rushes to work, often leaving a meal half-eaten on the table. “Never pick up a rattlesnake,” says Ramirez. “I’ve been doing this job for 12 years, and I have never touched one with my hands. There’s no reason to take that risk.”
Ramirez tells people to read all they can about snakes so they understand these amazing animals. For example, snakes actually help humans. Small mammals like rats, mice, and gophers carry fleas and ticks that spread serious illnesses like bubonic plague and Lyme disease to people. A snake might eat a dozen rodents a year, helping control the population and the spread of disease.
Ramirez and her husband relocate more than a thousand snakes a year. “The longest was 5 feet 9 inches (1.8 meters), and I’m only five-foot-three, so that was amazing to see.” She enjoys every day working with snakes. “I just love my job!” 33. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. To introduce us a snake-catching couple. B. To teach us how to catch snakes successfully. C. To describe a common rattlesnake in California. D. To prove snakes are useful animals to human beings. 34. Which of the following can best describe the couple? A. Warm-hearted, strong-willed and confident. B. Skillful, job-loving and selfless. C. Cruel, dangerous and disgusting. D. Brave, energetic and determined. 35. Which of the following is TRUE?
第6页 共14页
A. The couple went to the dentist to see a doctor. B. Rattlesnakes are believed to attack people actively.
C. Snakes are sometimes helpful to control the spread of disease. D. Protecting rattlesnakes from people is the couple’s main task. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分l0分)

For those who need guidance in their cooking, or for those who have just run out of ideas, recipes（食谱）are lifesavers. Recipes list all the ingredients for a dish (generally in the order used), the amount of each to use, and a description of how to put them together. 36 Most good cooks have a shelf full of cookbooks ranging from locally published recipe collections to national bestsellers like the Betty Crocker Cookbook. 37 Friends often enlarge their recipe collection by passing around their favorites written on cards.
38 They are true artists. They often make adjustments as they go along, depending on the quantity of people they need to serve, the ingredients they have available and their personal taste. Some cooks use recipes very little, preferring instead to depend on their intuition as they add a pinch of this and a dash of that to create just the right flavors.
Of course, Americans don’t have a corner on the market when it comes to good cooking. 39 As a result, every culture and nationality has its own share of mouth-watering delicacies. And America, as a “land of immigrants”, has imported practically all varieties of cooking. Most good cooks in America are “fluent” in several cooking “dialects”: Mexican, Italian, Chinese and good old American style, just to name a few. 40 A. For experienced cooks recipes are merely reference points.
B. But whatever the dialect, cooking is a language everyone understands. C. Magazines devoted to home management are full of selections. D. Good cookbooks can be bought everywhere. E. Finding recipes in America is as easy as pie. F. We all know cooking is useful in our school life. G. Wherever you go in the world, people love to eat. 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）

Chinese Education Ministry has paid close attention to self-protection education among school students because some knowledge about self-protection may help one survive in case of emergency.
Self-protection is of great importance. It teaches students essential methods to protect themselves or helping each other during unexpected bad time. Additionally, it has great impact on students’ lives in the long run.
In everyday life, we should care for ourselves at any time. For instance, when pouring boiled water, pay attention to water steam. When exchanging lights, make serious preparations to guarantee your security. In another case, we can’t be careful enough to cross roads especially at the crossings. What’s more, it’s very important to obey the traffic rules.
In a nutshell, self-protection education makes great sense. In consequence, we
第12页 共14页
greatly need to strengthen the sense of safety and improve the ability to protect ourselves. By doing so, there will be less accidents and our society will become a big harmonious family.
