第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）
第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分满分25分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A B C D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
The awful war was finally over, and my brother Tim and I were invited to spend a few days with my uncle who had just returned from abroad. He had rented a cottage in the country, although he rarely spent much time there. We understood the reason for this after our arrival: the cottage had no comfortable furniture in it, many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked, making the whole house damp.
On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories which our uncle had to tell of his adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed; but I could
not bear to miss any of my uncle’s exciting tales.
He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.
“It sounds as if the roof has fallen in!” cried out my uncle, with a loud laugh.
When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, we could see nothing at first because of the thick cloud of dust which filled the room. When the dust began to clear, a strange sight met our eyes. A large part of the ceiling had fallen down, falling right on to the pillow of my bed. I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle’s stories; otherwise I should certainly h ave been seriously injured, perhaps killed.
That night we all slept on the floor in the setting room downstairs, not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which at any moment fell down on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country. This was not the kind of adventure he cared for either!
21. Why did the uncle seldom spend much time in the country cottage?
A. Because the roof of the cottage was falling.
B. Because the cottage was in bad condition.
C. Because he was used to living abroad.
D. Because there was no furniture in it.
22. The underlined word “bear” probably means _______.
A. balance
B. multiply
C. confirm
D. tolerate
23. When opened the bedroom door, they could see nothing at first because ______.
A. it was completely dark inside
B. there was too much dust in the air
C. something strange blinded them
D. it was too bright inside
24. The writer felt glad that he had stayed up late because ______.
A. he did not miss the exciting stories
B. he spent more time with his uncle
C. he had a lucky escape
D. he saw a strange sight
25. Which of the following can best describe the writer’s uncle?
A. adventurous and good at storytelling
B. humorous and good at making jokes
C. caring and generous with money
D. considerate and sensitive to danger
B
It is natural that children are curious about the world around them．For example, they want to know how their hearts beat．They want to know why the ocean water tastes salty．
As children grow up, they become curious about different kinds of things．When they are babies, they are interested in the parts of their bodies and in the smiles of their mothers．They become interested in the physical world around them：the plants, the animals, the sky．Later, they become interested in the things that people have made：wheels, bicycles, cars．And when they are adults, their curiosity continues．Sometimes this curiosity leads to a career(生涯、职业)in science．Scientists spend their lives trying to find out about the world．Those who work with the earth sciences study the earth, the oceans, and the skies．Other scientists who study living things work with the biological sciences．A third group of scientists study the physical sciences, e．g．physics, chemistry．
These scientists have already discovered a lot about our world．For example, they tell us why your heart beats fast when you run．They say that when you are quiet, your heart normally beats sixty-five or seventy-five times a minute．Your heart is a pump(泵)that pumps blood to all parts of the body．The blood carries oxygen and nutrition．When you run, your muscles work very hard and use the nutrition that the blood carries to them．The muscles need oxygen, too．So your brain sends a signal to the heart．The signal means that the muscles need more nutrition and oxygen．Then the heart beats fast and sends blood quickly to the muscles．It may beat 90 to 140 times a minute．
Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions．If we ask, “Why does the ocean water taste salty” scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks．When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks．Rain falls into cracks．The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers．The rivers carry the salt into the ocean．But then we ask, “What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get saltier every year．” Scientists are not sure about the answer to this question．
We know a lot about our world, but there are still many answers that we do not have, and we are curious．
26. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A. People are curious in the same way.
B. People in different countries are interested in different things.
C. Men and women are curious about different things.
D. People of different ages are interested in different things
27. Scientists who work with the biological sciences study ____.
A. the earth, the oceans and the sky
B. man-made things
C. plants and animals
D. ocean water
28. When you run, your muscles need ____.
A. more nutrition and oxygen
B. more signals
C. more salt
D. water
29. A rock cracks ____.
A. in wet area
B. in dry area
C. at very hot or cold temperatures
D. when salty water falls in
30. People are always curious because ____.
A. they cannot explain many things
B. they know nothing about the world
C. they know little about the world
D. they want to be scientists
