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中（A, B, C, D）, 选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
There is a scene in the movie The Descendants and it went something like this ---George Clooney’s character Matt King has a daughter who may be 9 or 10. She said something bad to a girl at her school that made her cry. The mother of that girl made Matt and his daughter come to their house I always think of this story when my daughter is asked by other adults to apologize for her wrong doings. I know my daughter is being taught to say “sorry” with all the best intentions. They are teaching her to be polite. But she is apologizing because she is being forced to please the adult or to avert punishment.
This situation has happened on a few occasions and it really bothers me. Here are three reasons why I don’t think it’s a good idea to teach children to say sorry: 1. My daughter is being taught to say things that are not from her heart. 2. She is being taught insincerity(不真诚) is valued over genuineness. 3. She is being taught she needs to please others to be loved.
These messages make me uncomfortable and I will not ask my children to apologize. Instead, this is what I think people should teach children:
teach them behavior that is acceptable and to practice positive behavior.
teach them how their actions affect others.
give them space to think about the situation and ask them to suggest ways to make the situation better.
help them make healthy choices
lead by example and show them how to fix wrong doings
21. The story in Paragraph 1 mainly shows that ________.
A. sometimes people don’t take their apology seriously
B. The Descendants is a good film that is worth seeing
C. forcing a child to apologize may not get expected results
D. parents should punish their children for their mistakes
22. What does the underlined word “avert” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Suffer B. Avoid C. Deserve D. Get
23. From Paragraph 3 we can learn that the author ________.
A. doesn’t like apologizing to other people.
B. doesn’t think apologizing is important to children
C. doesn’t think her daughter has done anything wrong
D. thinks forcing a child to apologize has disadvantages
24. According to the last paragraph, the author suggests people should ________.
A. teach children how to become independent
B. teach children how to apologize in the correct way
C. teach children to behave well instead of forcing them
D. teach children how to set a good example to others
B
It is never too early, or too late, to encourage a child to read. With the chill(寒冷) of winter upon us, the following is a list of wonderful stories with winter and/or snow themes.
Waiting for Winter
It was written by Sebastian Meschenmoser. A little squirrel(松鼠), who has never seen snow, is determined that he will not miss it this year. He gets the help of his good friends, a bear and a hedgehog, trying to stay awake until they can all see the first snowfall of winter. This book is a wonderful story to read aloud to young children or for older children to read by themselves.
The Snowy Day
The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats is a short read, but since its first publication it has been loved by millions. It tells about a beautiful story about the magic and possibility of the first snowfall of winter, which appeals to young and older children.
The Polar Express
Popularized by the 2004 Warner Brothers all-digital film, The Polar Express was first published in 1985. The hero of this story is a boy who is given the opportunity to receive a gift from Santa himself. A magical train appears outside his bedroom window, taking him away on a fantastic journey to the North Pole.
Mr. Willowby’s Christmas Tree
It was written by Robert E. Barry. Mr Willowby orders a lovely new Christmas tree, and when it is delivered to his home he finds it far too tall. He has the top of the tree cut off in order to make it just the right height. This book follows the treetop on its journey through the forest, where it brings the joy of the holidays for some woodland creatures. This book teaches us a valuable lesson about the joy of giving, and happiness that it can bring to the hearts of recipients(接受者).
25. Waiting for Winter and The Snowy Day are similar in that ________.
A. they are intended for older children and adults
B. they are centered around the first snowfall of winter
C. they are short novels and are loved by millions
D. they are fairy tales about talking animals
26. Which of the following was made into a popular film?
A. Waiting for Winter B. The Snowy Day
C. The polar Express D. Mr. Willowby’s Christmas Tree
C
My parents moved from Mexico to South Texas in the early 90s with the hope for a brighter future for their family of nine---my parents, four boys and three girls. My parents have always wanted the best for us and they have done everything possible to encourage us to get a university degree. Never did they think that by pushing us that direction, it also meant encouraging us to move away and be distant from each other.
Initially(起初), getting accustomed to the American culture and lifestyle was very difficult for my parents. They come from a culture where kids grow up together, go to school together and most of the time live in the same neighborhood. From our point, American family values were a bit different. Typically in the US, when you turn 18, you are expected to graduate from high school, move out, find a university, possibly find a partner, get married and start a life together. Most of these decisions take you away from home; usually you have to follow opportunity and wherever that will take you.
This is my family’s current situation. I graduated from Bethel College in Indiana in 2010, and in order to fulfill my financial responsibilities of paying off student loans, I moved to Washington State for my job with Experience Mission. Ideally my parents wanted me to come home to South Texas, but that wasn’t where my opportunity took me.
Currently, my sister Jennifer lives in Waco, Texas, about eight hours from my parents. My two younger brothers also decided to go to college at Bethel and are away from my parents. More than likely, when they graduate, they will probably not move back home to South Texas.
My parent never imagined that their dream for a better future would separate our family this way.
Facebook has played a crucial(决定性的) role in the way we communicate while living in different places. Since we all use Facebook, we have found a place to connect and feel as if we were there together with each other.
28. We can infer from the first paragraph that ________.
A. the writer’s family are immigrants to America
B. the writer’ family came to America for a better future
C. the writer’ parents’ didn’t want their children to get a university degree
D. the writer’ parents pushed their children away from each other
29. The writer’s parents found it hard to be used to American life because ________.
A. they were strangers in America B. they suffered from a culture shock
C. the local people disliked their family D. different countries have different lives
30.The writer didn’t return to work in South Texas after graduation because ________.
A. he owed a lot of money while studying at college
B. he didn’t graduate from university
C. he found his opportunity in Washiongton State
D. his father couldn’t find him a job in South Texas
31. What will probably be talked about in the paragraph after the last?
A. The writer’s parents’ life in Texas.
B. How the parents learn to use Facebook.
C. What the writer’s brothers’ and sisters’ lives are like.
D. How the writer’s family communicate through Facebook.
D
Westminster Abbey, founded in 1065, was the King’s place of residence until the 16th century. Since 1066, the Norman Conquest, it has been the “Royal church”—the place where kings and queens are crowned when they take the throne(即位).
It has also been the site of many royal weddings and funerals. King George VI, got married there in 1923; twenty four years later, his daughter, Queen Elizabeth II married Prince Phillip there; on April 29, 2011, Prince William also married Kate Middleton there. While fourteen years ago, the funeral service for Princess Diana, William’s mother, took place there.
It is also famous for its Poets’ Corner, which has been the traditional burial ground of the most famous English poets, writers and playwrights.
Today it is still a working church dedicated to regular worship and to the celebration of great events in the life of the nation. All are welcome to attend the regular services.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Love and Friendship
They are both so much related to each other. And both are so dissimilar!. What are the difference between friendship and love? Is platonic(柏拉图式的)friendship possible between persons of the opposite sex? 36
What is friendship? Why do we call a person our friend? When do we call someone a very good friend? If we care for a person, if we are always ready to help that person and if we share most of our thoughts with a person, they are our good friends. We can always count upon our good friends in an emergency. We are always sure that our friends will understand why we acted in a certain way.
37 The friendship is so deep and the relationship is so intimate, that most of the things automatically understood by our friends.
38 In a relationship of deep love, all the sharing that we discussed above is taken for granted. But love transcends(超出)all this. During love, we are attached with a particular person, while in friendship, one many have many friends. A loving relationship makes one so much attached to the other that one gets pained if his/her beloved is hurt! Love also involves a physical element.
39 This is a vital difference. Native gives us love so that the species can go forward. Nature does not give us friendship.
Your heart beats will never increase in anticipation of meeting your friend. 40 You will not feel totally lost if you don’t meet your friend for a few days. You will not have dreams in your eyes thinking about your friendship.
A. What about love?
B. My answer is “Yes!”
C. Let us try and understand.
D. Friendship does not have that.
E. We need not explain anything to our very good friends.
F. You will not lie awake at night thinking about your friend.
G. The physical element may include hand in hand while walking.
