三、阅读理解(共l5小题;每小题2分,计30分)
阅读下列内容,从每小题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。
(A)
At 18, many American young people go off on their own. They go away to college or find full-time jobs, and they often rent their own apartments. Some get married and start families. This independence is learned from childhood.
From an early age, American children learn responsibility. Children as young as 2 begin to put away their toys and dress themselves. At 3, many children do simple chores(家务) like setting the table.
Using money wisely is also taught early. As soon as a child understands the value of money, he or she receives a weekly allowance. This is used for things the child wants, like toys or treats. The child can spend or save it, usually with little guidance from parents. If the child wants money besides his or her allowance, it must be made by doing extra chores.
Children are taught early in life to think for themselves. They are allowed to make some decisions and make mistakes. Failure often teaches children more than success.
31. When do some American young people begin to live on themselves?
A. After they get married. B. From childhood.
C. At eighteen years old. D. After they find full-time jobs.
32. What does an American child learn to do at the age of three?
A. To dress themselves. B. To put away their toys.
C. To put on his or her own clothes. D. To help parents with simple chores.
33. A child can get some more money by .
A. getting high grades B. saving their pocket money
C. doing extra chores D. understanding the value of money
(B)
SOMETIMES we make friends with unexpected people. For example, who would have thought that a spider would make friends with a pig? But in E. B. White's classic novel "Charlotte's Web", this is exactly what happens.
The pair will appear in a movie at the end of this year.
In the story, Wilbur is an ill-fated (倒霉的) pig. When he is born, he is so small that the farmer decides to end the pig's life. Luckily, the farmer's daughter stops him from killing Wilbur and volunteers to raise the pig in a barnyard (谷仓前的空地) .2
Wilbur grows day by day and makes many friends in the barnyard, including the spider, Charlotte. However, one day a sheep tells Wilbur that he will be served up as dinner. But, Charlotte has tried her best to save her friend from this danger. By making words such as "famous pig" in her web, she makes the farmer believe that Wilbur is some sort of supernatural (神奇的) animal, too important to kill. After Wilbur is saved, Charlotte is so tired that she finally dies.
Unusually, the author makes a spider the heroine of the book. Spiders are creatures many people normally regard with fear. Charlotte does everything in her power to keep Wilbur alive. It shows how a strong friendship can last through the worst possible times.
Who would you like to make friends with if you could?
34. The purpose of this passage is to _______.

As a young boy, I sometimes traveled the country roads with my dad. He was a rural mail carrier. Driving through the countryside was always an adventure: There were animals to see, people to visit, and especially chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad did.
One lady had no mailbox, so Dad took the mail into her house every day because she was nearly blind. Once inside, he read her mail and helped her pay her bills.
Mailboxes were sometimes used for other things. One note left in a mailbox read.,"Nat, take these eggs to Marian; she's baking a cake and doesn't have any eggs." A young girl wrote letters but had no stamps, so Dad paid for the stamps. One businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank.
Later, father died. As I drove home, I noticed two green and red mailboxes made by father were still on each side of Main Street. Each box had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering: SANTA CLAUS, NORTH POLE. For years children had dropped letters to Santa through those holes.
When I saw Frank Townsend, Dad's postmaster and great friend for many years. He asked "What are we going to do about the letters this Christmas?".
"The letters?"
'I guess you never knew."
"Knew what?"
"Remember, when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to Santa in those green and red boxes on Main Street? It was your dad who answered all those letters every year."
I just sat there with tears in my eyes. It wasn’t hard for me to imagine Dad sitting at the old table in our basement reading those letters and answering each one. I have since spoken with several of the people who received Christmas letters during their childhood, and they told me how amazed they were that Santa had known so much about their homes and families.
For me, just knowing that story about my father was the gift of a lifetime.
38. It can be inferred(推断) from the passage that the writer regarded his travels with Dad as __________.
A. great chances to help other people B. happy occasions to play with animals
C. exciting experience with a lot of fun D. good opportunities to enjoy chocolate cookies
39. The writer provides the detail about the businessman to show that ________.
A. Dad had a strong sense of duty B. Dad was an honest and dependable man
C. Dad had a strong sense of respect D. Dad was a kind and generous man
40. According to the passage, which of the following impressed the writer most?
A. Dad read letters for a blind lady for years. B. Dad paid for the stamps for a young girl.
C. Dad delivered some eggs to Marian. D. Dad answered children's Christmas letters every year.
41. What surprised the children most when they received letters in reply from Santa Claus every year?
A. Santa Claus lived alone in the cold North Pole.
B. Santa Claus answered all their letters every year.
C. Santa Claus had unique mailboxes for the children.
D. Santa Claus had so much information about their families
(D)
The Great Barrier reef(大堡礁)is world-famous for Corals(珊瑚) of all shapes, sizes and colors, which covers more than 130,000 square miles off the coast of Australia. It is the world’s largest reef system and supports a great deal of ocean life.
But today the Great Barrier Reef is dying. The warming effect of climate change has heated the waters around the reef and it has caused a bleaching- Corals lose colors and even lives . And the Great Barrier Reef isn’t alone. “This is the longest bleaching event ever recorded,” says David Kline, an Oceanography scientist. “It happens all over the world, and it’s looking very serious.”
Bleaching happens when warm water, pollution and sea plants overgrowth drive away the living things that live on the coral and give it color. Within weeks, the reef could die, leaving behind a forest of lifeless, white coral. Scientists believe the bleaching now under way may kill more than 15% of the world’s coral.2·1·c·n·j·y
Besides, reefs protect coastal communities from storms and flooding. Ocean life depends on coral reefs as shelters, while coastal towns depend on them as places of interest.
But a bigger worry may be what the bleaching shows about future climate change. The rapid death of coral reefs shows that climate change is seriously affecting the world right now.
Local solutions-like reducing fishing and cleaning up pollution-can help slow reef loss, but scientists say a global problem requires a global solution. Nearly 200 countries agreed last year to work to keep
global temperatures from rising more than 3.6°F by 2100, but that goal will be hard to reach. And if governments fail, coral reefs will be only the first victims.
42. What can we know about the Great Barrier reef from the passage?
A. It's only famous in Australia .
B. Corals cover more than 130,000 square metres.
C. It supports a great deal of ocean life.
D. It is the result of global warming.
43. What does the underlined word “bleaching” mean in Chinese?
A. 死亡 B. 褪色 C. 衰弱 D. 消失
44. The color of the coral comes from _______.
A. The warm water around it B. Sea plants
C. The living things which live on the coral D. Coastal pollution
45. We can learn from the passage that _______.
A. The bleaching shows that climate may change in the future.
B. It is believed that the bleaching now may kill more than 15% of Australian’s coral.
C. Reducing fishing and cleaning up pollution can save the reef rapidly.
D. If governments fail to keep global temperatures from rising, coral reefs will be the only victims.

Firstly, it’s very important for us to be in a good mood. Don’t be too nervous or stressed. Otherwise, we will not have the courage to face difficulties. Secondly, we should have proper aims. If the aim is too low, we may become lazy. If the aim is too high, we may lose confidence. Thirdly, We should have enough sleep instead of staying up late so that we can make ourselves energetic in class and pay more attention to our study. Fourthly, we’d better have more communication with our parents, teachers and classmates. They can help us get out of trouble. Finally, a healthy diet and some exercise are very important to us as well.
With these done, I believe we can be successful in the exams.
