第三部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节：阅读理解(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

Actually we have known a lot of examples and meaningful words to support the fact that we should try our best to ease the bad impression of others. Just like the old saying goes, we should give a better assumption to the one than we think he was. But many of us always fail to do this. Take the situation of my class for example. Right at the beginning of the first semester when we were freshmen we all showed great favor to each other. And when there was an activity that needed some people to join, we would be willing to attend whether it was interesting or not. And we were really like brothers and sisters, and our class was just like a family, a warm family. But now, I feel tired of those meaningless activities not only because of the boring activities themselves but also the cool response of our classmates.

A．Of course C．That would be nice A．the; / B．a; / A．whom B．them A．turns B．becomes A．out of place B．out of sight

B．Don't bother D．With pleasure C．the; the C．which C．grows C．out of reach

D．a; the D．who D．passes D．out of practice

32．Wouldn’t it be ____ wonderful world if all nations lived in ____ peace with one another? 33．My mother has two brothers, both of ____ graduating from Beijing University． 34．The Chinese University of Hong Kong, founded in 1963, ____ 50 in 2013． 35．Modern furniture would be ____ in a Victorian house．

I think the reasons why the passion of most classmates is so low may be as follows:

To start with, many of us take part in more than one organization, which will certainly make us tired. Also, in the study fields, many of us may find that our courses are sometimes difficult to understand or comprehend, especially the specialized subjects. Moreover, “history” teaches us that if one does not study hard, it is possible to fail in the exams. So it is a big and good excuse to say that “I do really want to attend, but I have a lot of homework to do, so...”

Last but not least, some people believe that some of our leaders should not be regarded as a leader, maybe I should say we, as leaders, lost the reputation, support and trust of yours. At least I am the warm-hearted one, although I cannot promise you that your advice will be adopted surely, at least I will spare no effort to “give” you the right to be heard, and to serve you.

Be active to show your talents and abilities and to create a better image of our class. Most important of all, work painstakingly for a better condition that we should have reached. 56. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Students’ passion for activities was high at first but disappeared gradually.

B. Students’ passion for activities grew gradually because they were interesting. C. Students were too busy to take part in activities after their classes. D. Students were unwilling to participate in activities because of their leaders. 57. We can infer from the passage that the writer must be ______. A. a supporter of activities C. a top student in class

B. a responsible teacher D. a devoted class leader

58. The writer hopes that all the members of the class will ______.

A. develop better talents and skills B. improve their abilities and creativity C. work together to make a better class D. adopt others’ advice patiently

B

After my dad died on Aug.30, 2001, my mother made sure we marked each anniversary. At first, my brothers and sister and I would travel hours to get home, but eventually we got to the point where just one or two of us would make it back to go to Mass with her and spend the day together. The great love of her life, the man who broke up with her right before her college graduation, only to return two years later claiming he’d traveled the world and hadn’t found anyone to compare with her, remained a daily presence in her life. She spoke about him so often and kept his memory so alive that people were sometimes surprised to learn that he was gone. She took over the garden where he’d planted and made it her own.

When the 10th anniversary of his death approached, my mom began talking about it and planning for it weeks in advance. The date on her kitchen calendar was circled and marked R.I.P. (Rest in Peace). Of course she wanted all of us there and settled the dates for our coming back. 高考英语预测试题

On Monday — the day before the anniversary — she went to morning Mass and walked downtown for lunch with friends, and later told my sister on the phone that she felt Dad still so close that as she was walking back home, she heard someone yell and thought, “Oh, there’s Dick.” That evening she went out to water flowers, just as my father, 10 years before, had gone out to the garden to pick vegetables before he died. A neighbor heard the tin watering can strike the ground as she fell and hit her head. My mother died within hours, on Aug.30, 2011, the 10thanniversary. She needed to mark that anniversary, she wanted us all home and my dad had waited long enough. 59. From the second paragraph we know that the author’s father______. A. traveled around the world and left her mother

B. left her mother first but returned two years later C. had a quarrel with her before her graduation D. was not the right man her mother wanted at that time 60. We can infer from the passage that the author’s mother _____.

A. knew her last day was coming on Aug.30 B. kept everything of her father’s home

C. missed Father though he had passed away D. remained a daily presence in his life

61. Which of the following statements is true EXCEPT that _____.

A. Mother died the day before the anniversary of Father’s death B. Mother died in the garden as Father did ten years ago C. Mother died because she fell to the ground accidentally D. Mother died on the same date when Father did ten years ago 62. What does the writer imply in the underlined part of the last sentence?

A. She wanted us to stay at home. C. Mother expected us to get back.

B. Mother missed us very much. D. That day was her last day.

C

What happens inside the skull of a soccer player who repeatedly heads a soccer ball? That question motivated a challenging new study of the brains of experienced players that has caused discussion and debate among soccer players, and some anxiety among those of us with soccer-playing children.

For the study, researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York selected 34 adults, men and women. All of the volunteers had played soccer since childhood and now competed year-round in adult soccer leagues. Each filled out a detailed questionnaire developed especially for this study to determine how many times they had headed a soccer ball in the previous year, as well as whether they had experienced any known concussions (脑震荡) in the past.

Then the players completed computerized tests of their memory and other learning skills and
