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

It was Saturday morning. I heard loud noises of moving furniture in the next room. I could almost feel the excitement of John who was soon going to get a room of his own. I remember my own feelings when I was 13. I knew how much he longed for his right to privacy (私人空间) when he was sharing a room with his younger brother, Robot. He said, “Mum, Can I please have a room of my own? I could use Jeff?s. He won?t mind.”

It was true that Jeff had graduated from college and flown from the nest. But would he mind? The room was the place where I told him a thousand stories and we had a thousand talks. As close as we were, though, the time came when Jeff needed a door between us. His life was spreading into areas that had less to do with family. I no longer could-or should-know everything about him.

It turned out that getting Jeff?s permission was easy. He said, “Of course, Mum, it would be selfish of me to hold on to it.” Then his voice softened, “Mum, I won?t be living at home again---you know that.” Behind his glasses, his eyes were lit with all the love. There were no door closed here---they had all opened

up again.

As John and I were cleaning the room, I fixed my eyes on Jeff?s things aroun d me and could almost touch the little boy I knew was gone forever. I looked at the room and, in my heart, I let it go. To hold on would be, as Jeff said, selfish. Now it was time for John, shouldering through the door, his eyes bright with promise of independence, to disappear behind the door. It was time for letting go to happen again.

21. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage

A. John was moving to live with his brother.

B. John was eager to get a room of his own.

C. Jeff volunteered to give his room to John.

D. Jeff refused to let his brother have his room.

22. The underlined sentence in the second par agraph probably means “______”.

A. Jeff finally flew out of the house

B. Jeff would have less to do with his family

C. Jeff needed his right to privacy

D. Jeff got tired of those familiar stories

23. How did the author feel about her childr en?s sense of independence?

A. Delighted.

B. Jealous (嫉妒的).

C. Confused.

D. Embarrassed.

24. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

A. the children did not like to live with adults

B. all her three kids made the author feel depressed

C. none of the members in the family thought the same way

D. the author loved and missed the time together with her kids

B

If you want to write a movie script (脚本) yourself but don?t know how, what would you do? The following can be of some help to you.

There are only three parts necessary in a script: the Scene Heading, the Visual Exposition and the Dialogue.

The Scene Heading begins with either “EXT.” or “INT.”. EXT. shows that the scene takes place outdoors, while INT. is used when the scene takes place indoors, for example, inside a room. After that, the exact place of the scene is given, such as “HOTEL ROOM.” The last thing that must be mentioned is whether it is NIGHT or DAY.

The Visual Exposition is a description of the action or movement that takes place on the screen, and should include ONL Y what you would see if you were watching the screen. For the first time, and only the first time, a character appears in the script, the name is capitalized (大写), and should be followed by a short description that includes age and build, for example:

The Di alogue follows the Visual Exposition. Each character?s name should be capitalized in the center of the page, followed by the words that are to be spoken on the next line. Do not include any description of feelings before the lines of dialogue. If you consider it necessary to show a character gives a line in a certain way, for example, “angrily,” this should be included in the Visual Exposition above the lines, such as, “Cynthia?s face shows her anger.” But remember, Visual Exposition should ONLY show action we can see.

25. In a script the Scene Heading tells _________ the story takes place.

A. where and when

B. at what time of a day

C. what has happened when

D. on which day of the week

26. If a story takes place in a park on a Friday morning, which of the Scene Headings is right?

A. INT. FRIDAY-DAY.

B. EXT. FRIDAY-NIGHT.

C. INT. PARK-NIGHT.

D. EXT. PARK-DAY.

27. The Visual Exposition in a script only includes actions or movements _________.

A. that some main characters do

B. that can be seen on the screen

C. that the writer of the story describes

D. that happen in outdoor activities

28. Which of the following short scripts is right?

A.

EXT. JOHN?S HOUSE-DAY

There are many people talking with each other. Amy, in red dress, stands under a tree. JOHN

is walking to her.

John[来源学科网ZXXK]

Hi, long time no see. Oh, you are so beautiful today!

B.

INT. BEN?S ROOM-DAY

Ben is sleeping. CAROL, 12, thin, beautiful, rushes into the room because she knows they

will be late.

CAROL

Ben, get up! You overslept again!

C.

INT. LIVING ROOM-DAY

It is raining outside. Daniel and Brian are watching TV. There is a glass of water on the desk.

BRIAN

D.

EXT. KITCHEN-NIGHT

If man?s best friend is a dog, then who is a dog?s best friend? That wou ld be Rover, Glow, Ivan, or Raina. These four recently donated valuable pints (品脱) of blood to their fellow dogs. And they did it without having to travel far from home. They visited an animal bloodmobile (采血车).

Similar to the Red Cross vehicles for human beings, the University of Pennsylvania?s travelling veterinary (兽医的) lab goes to where the donors are to make it easier. The bloodmobile makes weekly rounds through suburban Philadelphia and New Jersey. Kym Marryott, manager of Penn?s Animal Blood

Bank, sa id, “You don?t really think about it until you actually need it. Just like us, dogs need blood too.”

However, not every dog can donate blood. The dogs are examined for health first. Dogs must have the correct blood type, weigh at least 55 pounds and be younger than 8 years old. About 150 dogs participate in the program. Each donates three or four pints a year, which can help animals suffering from illnesses like cancer or an accidental injury like being hit by a car. One pint can save up to three dogs.

Sandy Lucas brought her 7-year-old black German shepherd, Raina, to the bloodmobile last week when it parked at a mall in Harleysville, Pennsylvania. The resident（居民）said she wouldn?t have braved highway traffic and city parking problems to take the dog to Pe nn Vet?s Animal Hospital in downtown Philadelphia, which is too far from her home. But the bloodmobile made it convenient to find out if Raina could donate. “I was very, very thrilled when I knew she had the right blood that was needed to help another dog out,” said Sandy Lucas. “We?ll definitely do it again.”

Just like human beings, the donors (捐助者)get a snack and a heart-shaped “U of P Blood Donor” sticker immediately after giving. In addition, they receive free blood checkups and dog food to take home.

29. To bring convenience to the donors, the lab __________.

A. has bloodmobiles visiting the suburbs

B. is built where the donors are

C. goes to the homes of the donors

D. works with the Red Cross

30. How many factors should be considered when making donations?

A. Two.

B. Three.

C. Four.

D. Five.

31. The example of Raina is mentioned in the passage to __________.

A. stress the importance of keeping pets

B. prove the value of bloodmobiles

C. tell readers that Raina is very brave

D. show how its owner felt then

32. After giving donations, the donors __________.

A. are offered a sticker

B. receive a free physical checkup

C. get a bag of free blood

D. feel very thrilled

D

In my view, this activity bears great sign ificance since the friendship with them will be strengthened through considerate arrangements and all the participating students will also benefit a lot.

There is no doubt that my fa mily can undertake the task. To begin with, my proficiency in English enables me to communicate with foreigners fluently. In addition, my family can also meet the requirements in housing and means of transportation.

If selected, my family will help them experience the natural beauty and cultural diversity by showing them around those worth-visiting places including Yellow Mountain and having a taste of tea and hot pot.

I would appreciate it if my application is taken into account.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua
