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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Raeann Sleith began making bracelets (手链) when she was six. Family and friends loved her designs and asked for more. When admirers suggested that Raeann sell her bracelets, she realized she wanted to do just that — and donate the money to help kids with special needs, like her brother Derek.
Raeann’s older brother, Derek, has cri du chat syndrome. Children with cri du chat usually
B. It snows there in winter.
B. Some hunting scenes made him feel bad.
B. She’s too afraid.
have problems understanding ideas and might have a hard time learning to talk. Many also have weak muscles that can cause problems with walking or using their fingers to pick things up. The term cri du chat means “cry of the cat” in French. Babies with cri du chat often have a high-pitched cry that sounds like that of a little cat.
Over the years, Derek’s teachers helped him learn sign language and gestures. They also taught him skills such as recognizing letters, cutting with scissors, and understanding basic math. Raeann wanted to donate money to Derek’s school. “I just wanted to help my brother,” she says, “and the people who help him.”
At first, Raeann focused on creating jewelry that would raise awareness for cri du chat. But people started requesting bracelets to wear as a symbol of support and awareness for a variety of other diseases and disorders. To create those symbols, Raeann researched the color most often associated with raising awareness for the disease or disorder, such as pink for breast cancer or orange for leukemia.
In the end, it turned out to be a great idea. In only a few years, Raeann has donated more than $30,000 to local charities. Raeann’s mom says that working on the bracelets has developed the generosity and kindness that already existed in her daughter. Raeann plans to keep making bracelets and raising dollars for charities. “I just want to keep going on with it,” she says, “to help my brother more.”
21. Paragraph 2 is mainly about _____.
A. the origin of the term cri du chat B. the research on cri du chat syndrome C. the treatment for cri du chat syndrome D. the characteristics of cri du chat syndrome 22. The bracelets Raeann Sleith has made _____. A. are decorated with colorful jewels C. are very popular all over the world
23. Which of the following can best describe Raeann Sleith? A. Caring and generous.
B. Honest and responsible. D. Creative and humorous. B. show us how to make bracelets D. ask us to donate to local charities
C. Polite and determined. A. tell us the story of a loving girl C. introduce a kind of rare disease
B. represent different kinds of diseases D. add up to more than 30,000
24. The main purpose of the text is to _____.
B
Last night, on my way home I stopped because of being attracted by some hamburgers at a fast food restaurant. On my way in, a homeless man approached me and asked, “Do you have any bottles lying around?” I knew he would recycle them for a few cents, but I didn’t have any, so I said no. And again he asked, “Can you spare some change ?” I smiled, and said no again. He was very respectful; he smiled back and said, “OK, thank you.” Even though he didn’t have anything, he was still in good spirits. From the way he spoke I could tell he was smart.
Then I bought one hamburger and enjoyed my meal, but in the back of my mind I wondered whether the homeless man was hungry. After I finished my meal I decided to order another one
for him. At this point I didn’t know if he was still around, but I tried anyway.
At the counter I ordered a hamburger and also a hot chocolate, because it was cold outside, and I thought it would help warm him up. They delivered me the hot chocolate first and as I waited for my hamburger, I noticed the homeless man was standing right beside me. I looked at him and smiled, “This hot chocolate is for you.” He replied like a gentleman, “Thank you so much. That’s very kind of you.”
I always believe no matter how hard up I am, there are always those who are worse off than I. When you help someone, it’s not always about money, it’s about love. The love you give today, someone might forget tomorrow. It doesn’t matter. Love anyway, because the greatest thing you can give is love.
25. What does the underlined phrase mean according to the passage? A. Rich in money. B. Short in money. C. Generous. D. Selfish. 26. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that the author _____. A. was angry with the homeless man B. was an old friend of the homeless man
C. decided to help the homeless man after his meal D. finished his meal quickly to help the homeless man
27. We can infer from the text that the homeless man was _____. A. old and sick
28. The author wants to tell us that _____. A. love cannot be forced B. money cannot buy everything
C. there is always someone that we can help D. we shouldn’t forget those who once helped us
C

The United States is a country of immigrants. It is a place where people from all over the world come to build a better life. Some immigrants bring their families. Some bring a few of their favorite things. Others come alone with nothing but determination. One thing that every immigrant brings with them is their culture.
American immigration began in 1607 with the colony (殖民地) of Jamestown. In 1620, another group of people left England to build a settlement in America. They wanted to go to a place where they could practice their religion freely. Then many more people left their homes in Europe to build a better life in America. Many also came to America from Africa. By 1770, more than two million people had moved to America. Later on, more people came to the United States than ever before.
In cities all over America, you can see different cultures that formed this country. Many things that you may think of as being “American” are actually from a foreign culture. Some of the best examples of this are the foods people eat. Pizza and spaghetti are foods that all Americans know and love. But both of them are from Italy. Baseball is an all-American sport. But the hot dogs that people eat during the game are a type of food that was brought to America by German immigrants.
Over time, pizza and hot dogs have become a part of what is considered to be American food. In the same way, different groups of people have come together to define what an American is.
An American can be a person of any background. An American can be of any faith. An American can be of any skin color. They can speak English clearly. They can speak English with an accent. Each new immigrant adds something new to American culture. It will keep changing as more people come to this country.
32. Paragraph 2 is mainly about _____. A. the history of American immigration
B. why people chose to move to America
C. the rapid growth of the population of America D. what immigrants have brought to America 33. Several foods are mentioned in the text to show _____. A. they have a long history in America C. America is a country full of tasty foods
34. The author probably agrees that American culture is _____.
A. simple B. strange C. diverse D. advanced 35. What would be the best title for the text? A. Immigrants and their American dreams C. America: a land of opportunity

How to communicate effectively
Effective communication is a must for everyone who hopes to be successful. It helps express your thoughts and improves your career prospects (前景) as well as strengthens relationships. Therefore, it’s necessary to work hard to improve your communication skills. 36 Before you are ready to talk to a group of people, you should think about what you are going to talk about. Although a printed copy of a speech may not be always necessary, highlighting a few important issues in your mind is a must. 37 And it reduces the possibilities of getting away from the main issues. Choose your words
Choice of words is the most important part of any communication. Simple, clear words are appropriate for the issue you are discussing. Needless to say, words that could make your audience unpleasant are best kept out of the communication. Most people tend to be careful about their language while at work. 38 This may hurt your loved ones beyond your imagination. Body language
Many people use body language by mistake and end up making a fool of themselves. Body language means keeping eye contact and using hand gestures only wherever required. 39 This will make your talk more of a stage performance and defeat its purpose. Listen and concentrate
B. America: a melting pot of cultures D. Life in the US: culture shock
B. they are very popular with Americans D. America is made up of different cultures
Communication is an exchange of ideas. Once you are done with your part, listen carefully to what other people plan to say. 40 Get rid of all distractions (分散注意力的事物) such as a phone before you begin communication. A distraction not only disturbs your focus, but it also causes your audience’s attention to wander. A. Gather your thoughts B. Prepare a copy of a speech
C. However, when they get home they often use colorful language. D. This will help you remain focused throughout your communication. E. If you are giving a speech, it is important that you focus on that activity only. F. Effective communication is a gradual process and requires efforts on your part. G. Remember, there is no need to speak every word with a gesture or facial expression. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）
