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。

A

On a cool November day many years ago, I noticed a big black dog at our farm. I was very angry at his frequent turning up.

I went to my father and told him how the dog had destroyed part of our crop. “It’s all your

doing,” I said. “Why did you offer milk to him a few days ago? He wants us to adopt him now.” “Why not?” asked my father. “We already have Mike. He won’t allow another dog to enter this place.” A few days later, however, poor Mike was hit by a bus and died. “Had I listened to you,” my father said, “we would have been without a dog now!”

Kalu didn’t take long to prove himself useful. Whenever he spotted a rat, he left everything aside – even his food – and dashed after it. At night when we slept, Kalu barked at the slightest noise like an alert (警惕的) guard.

We had often heard about thieves in the area. One night at about 1:00 am, we were woken up by Kalu’s angry bark. “Could it be thieves?” my father whispered. My father shouted through a window: “Who’s there?” No reply. Kalu’s growls grew angrier. Suddenly we heard a man cry out: “Save me from this beast!”

Armed with a stick, we went outside and saw that Kalu had pinned the man down on the ground. The man begged: “Save me, sir!” Most of his clothing had been torn and his legs and hands were bloody. We managed to drag Kalu away. “Don’t come here again,” my father ordered. The man disappeared into the darkness. As Kalu continued barking after the man, I saw my mother looking fondly at him through the window. Kalu got more popular in the family. Kalu lived with us faithfully for over seven years. When he went missing for three days and was found dead because of eating something poisonous, we were shocked.

Our farm seemed desolate without Kalu. Over the years, we took in several more dogs, but none could match Kalu’s understanding and high spirits. The mean-looking stray (流浪狗) I didn’t want taught me to never judge anyone by his looks, whether a man or his best friend. 21. Many years ago, the author ______. A. blamed his father for adopting Kalu

B. was annoyed by Kalu’s constant appearance C. thought Mike would welcome Kalu willingly D. discussed with his father how to drive away Kalu 22. We can infer from the text that ______.

A. Kalu showed off his ability of catching mice to prove himself B. Kalu’s barking at night often disturbed the neighborhood C. Kalu couldn’t stop the thief without the author’s father’s help D. Kalu came to win the author’s family’s heart with his loyalty

23. The underlined word “desolate” in the last paragraph probably means “______”. A. empty B. bare C. unusual D. peaceful

24. According to the last paragraph, what did the author learn from his experience? A. First impressions are never to be relied on.

B. “Don’t judge a book by its cover” applies to both humans and dogs.

C. Ordinary as a person or a dog may look, we should treat them as extraordinary. D. Your feelings toward somebody or something can change after you are helped out.

B

You may laugh it off if someone told you that extreme weather disasters were actually a child’s tricks. But El Nino, meaning “little boy” in Spanish, could be about to cause trouble.

A recent statement from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration warned of

a strong El Nino event that may be similar to the strongest in modern times. Scientists believe that evidence shows a more than 90 percent chance that it is coming – and it’s going to be big. “If this lives up to its potential, this thing can bring a lot of floods, mudslides (泥石流), and trouble,” said Bill Patzert, a NASA scientist.

El Nino is a climate event occurring in the Pacific Ocean. The wind usually blows strongly from east to west due to the rotation (旋转) of the Earth. This causes water to pile up in the Western Pacific and pulls up colder water from the bottom in the eastern part. However, in El Nino years, the winds pushing the water get weaker and cause the warmer water to shift back toward the east. This warms the ocean as it travels before finally reaching the shores of North and South America. In an El Nino event, the waters of the eastern Pacific can be up to 4 degrees Celsius warmer than usual.

Most El Ninos last from 9 to 12 months and their effects are felt around December. They don’t happen every year though, usually between every two to seven years.

Last seen in 1997-98, El Nino caused severe droughts in Australia, the Philippines and Indonesia, as well as deadly floods in Peru and Ecuador. The world also heats up during an El Nino – 1998 became the warmest year on record at the time. If the current trend continues, 2015 is almost certainly to become the hottest year yet again.

A strong El Nino also affects hurricane seasons around the planet. The warmer the Eastern Pacific is, the more hurricanes it gets. The Western Pacific, on the other hand, tends to see more and stronger typhoons.

The weather isn’t the only thing that’s affected. Warmer surface waters in the Eastern Pacific make the cold-water fish swim away and damage the fishing industry in much of Latin America. 25. What is the text mainly about? A. El Nino and its harmful effects. B. Extreme weather disasters ever. C. The hottest years ever in history. D. The strongest El Nino in history.

26. Which of the following statements is TRUE about El Nino? A. It results from hurricanes or typhoons in the oceans. B. It happens every two years and last about half a year. C. It is a weather phenomenon occurring in the Atlantic.

D. It can cause extreme weather, such as floods and droughts. 27. During an El Nino year, ______.

A. the wind blows so strongly that it causes the water to pile up B. the fishing industry in much of Latin America is likely to suffer C. the more typhoons it experiences, the warmer the Western Pacific is D. the surface water in the Eastern Pacific usually gets colder than ever 28. El Nino in fact results from ________. A. a little Spanish child’s trick B. the natural rotating of the Earth C. an American expert’s prediction D. the weaker winds in the Pacific

C

For most people today, their GPS (Global Positioning System) has become a lifeline, giving directions to the nearest bathroom or restaurant. But the price we pay for the convenience could be our sense of direction.
