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，从各题所给的4个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出最佳选项。
A
As early as 1894，the newlyformed International Olympic Committee (IOC) considered ice skating as a possibility for the first modern Olympic Games which would be held in 1896.
In 1911，a member of the IOC suggested that winter sports should be staged as part of the 1912 Olympics in Helsinki.Some opposed the idea.At last，the IOC decided to hold Winter Olympic Games in 1916.However，World War Ⅰ broke out in 1914.After 1920，the national governing bodies for winter sports in several countries began talking about the possibility of a separate Winter Olympics.
The town of Chamonix，in the French Alps，planned to hold a winter sports festival in 1924，at the same time Paris was to host the Olympics.The Marquis de Polignac，a member of the IOC，suggested that the festival be formally recognized as the Winter Olympic Games.The IOC didn’t go that far，but did agree that Chamonix could call its festival an “Olympic winter carnival”．
The festival drew 258 athletes from 16 countries to compete in bobsledding (雪橇车比赛)，figure skating，hockey，Nordic skiing and speed skating.Charles Jewtraw from the United States won the first gold medal，in the 500meter speed skating，but the festival’s hero was Claus Thunberg from Finland.He won five medals，three of which were gold，in speed skating.
Weather has often been a major story at the Winter Olympics，and so it was at Chamonix.The festival opened with rain and unseasonably warm temperature that turned snow and ice to mud.Then temperature dropped as far as 25 below zero and the mud became ice.
Despite the weather，more than 10,000 people showed up.At its yearly meeting in 1925，the IOC recognized the Chamonix festival as the first Winter Olympics and decided that the Winter Games would be held every four years，just like the Summer Olympics.
语篇解读 本文简单介绍了冬季奥运会的由来。
21．Why was the first Winter Olympic Games not held in 1916?
A．Because the IOC didn’t agree to it.
B．Because it was still under discussion.
C．Because some people opposed the idea.
D．Because World War Ⅰ broke out in 1914.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However，World War Ⅰ broke out in 1914.”可知是第一次世界大战打断了冬奥会的进程。
答案： D
22．How many years earlier was the first modern Olympic Games held than the first Winter Olympic Games?
A．16. B．24.
C.28. D．29.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段的“for the first modern Olympic Games which would be held in 1896”可知第一届现代奥运会是1896年召开；根据第三段和最后一段可知第一届冬奥会是1924年召开，通过计算可知C正确。
答案： C
23．We can know from the passage that________.
A．the weather destroyed the first Winter Olympics
B．people from 16 countries watched the first Winter Olympics
C．Charles Jewtraw won the most medals in the first Winter Olympics
D．Finland got at least 3 gold medals in speed skating in the first Winter Olympics
解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段的“Claus Thunberg from Finland.He won five medals，three of which were gold，in speed skating”可知芬兰的Claus Thunberg在速滑中得到了3枚金牌，由此可推断芬兰至少在速滑中得到了3枚金牌。
答案： D
24．What’s the best title for the passage?
A．The development of the Olympics
B．The importance of weather in the Olympics
C．The story of the first Winter Olympic Games
D．How did the Winter Olympics come into being?
解析： 主旨大意题。阅读全文可知本文讲述的是冬季奥运会发展形式的整个过程，所以D正确。
答案： D
B
Earthquakes.Floods (洪水)．It seems that every day we read about at least one of these somewhere in the world.But every year，somewhere，another kind of disaster causes great damage to plants and people.It’s something much smaller and not so wellknown as an earthquake—it’s an insect called the locust (蝗虫)．
The locust usually lives on its own and eats on its own.But，sometimes，something changes the way nature works.When the number of locusts increases somewhere and there are lots of plants to eat，the locusts get together in ‘swarms’．
Perhaps the most dangerous locust is the desert locust.It is found in Africa，the Middle East，and Asia—in about 60 countries altogether.When desert locusts swarm，they bring problems to onetenth of all the humans in the world.
A swarm of desert locusts can be 1,200 km2 in size—imagine an area that is over 20 kilometres wide and 50 kilometres long，full of locusts！And there can be 50 million locusts in each square kilometre.Each locust eats its own weight in plants every day—so a swarm of desert locusts can eat more than 150 million kilos of food in one day.They can also fly very long distances—in 1954 a swarm of locusts from northwest Africa flew thousands of miles to finally land in Great Britain!
It’s no wonder that farmers in many countries of the world fear the desert locust more than snakes.It’s the desert locust that destroys the harvest (收成) and brings hunger to people all over the world.

A team of middle schoolers from North Dakota has turned a prizewinning idea into reality with their Recycling Bin app (废物回收箱应用软件)．The app encourages recycling by providing users with a searchable map of nearby recycling centers.
The group of nine sixth graders from STEM Center Middle School，in West Fargo，North Dakota，came up with the idea as part of a school program for the Verizon Innovative App Challenge.The competition was designed by the Verizon Foundation to increase students’ interest in science，technology，engineering，and math，or STEM.It asks students to think of an app that could solve (解决) a problem in their school.The students came up with the Recycling Bin when they saw a need for more recycling in their school for a long time.“We thought that this would really help a lot of people，” Jaden Hilkemann,12，said.
They kept their idea simple so that anyone could use it.The middle schoolers were surprised when they were among the ten national winning teams.“I didn’t think our app was this good！” Joram Stith,12，said.“We were the youngest winning group.”
With the help of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Media Lab，they turned their idea into an app ready for download.“We had groups of two or three people each developing one part of the app，” Hunter Koehmstedt,12，said.“We worked together and it was great.” Jacob Pfeifer,12，added that they learned a lot working together.“At first，we all didn’t agree on exactly what we wanted it to do，but in the end we all came to an agreement，” he said.
In June，the free Recycling Bin app became available for download.“I was very excited when it went up on the app store，” Seralyn Blake,12，said.“A lot of my family members downloaded the app.It was pretty cool.”

A discussion is now taking place in our town.Should we allow the Odeon Triplex Cinema to be built at the Havenswood Shopping Center？Some people are over_the_moon_about the idea of finally having our own movie theater in Havenswood.However，others would rather travel ten miles north to the nearest theater in Gadway in order to keep our quiet town the way it is.They say it is enough to have Marvin’s Movie Video Rentals (租赁) in the shopping center.
Of course，you can plan your own moviewatching schedule by renting and viewing movies when it is convenient for you.You can talk to friends or family members who are watching the movie with you without bothering any strangers seated nearby.It is also a less expensive way to view a movie compared to going to a theater，especially if more than one person is watching the video.
On the other hand，seeing a movie in a theater is an experience all its own.You can see the movie on a wide screen.To be viewed on a television screen，a film must be changed in some way to make it smaller，which results in a picture that is not complete.
Another issue is sound.The sound from a television，even when you have a home stereo system (立体音响)，cannot compare to the sound system in a movie theater.Your experience of a movie improves when you can clearly hear all of the sounds，loud and soft.Furthermore，at home，viewing companions (同伴) often talk during a movie，which makes you miss out on what’s happening in the film.
Besides，having a movie theater will not mean that you can’t still go to Marvin’s and rent a movie！You will just have a choice that you didn’t have before.Isn’t it time for Havenswood people to enjoy a little progress?

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。
Humans can grade about 30 essays (文章) per hour.Computers can grade thousands of essays in seconds.__36__
“Not so”，says Mark Shermis，teacher of the College of Education at the University of Akron，in Ohio.He used computer programs to grade more than 16,000 middle school and high school essays that had already been graded by humans.__37__
Shermis says，however，that the grading software (软件) has its limitations (局限)．“It can’t recognize a good reason，” he explained.“__38__And it can tell you that you’ve made some grammatical mistakes.”
Les Perelman says that the grading software will teach bad writing.He was the director of writing at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for 26 years.While testing one grading system，he wrote a “bad” essay that received the highest score.__39__Just throw out all the rules for good writing that you’ve ever learned，he says.
“Almost half of the score is based on length，” he said.“__40__Never use a simple word when you can use a big word.Never say many，say myriad or plethora.”
A．How did he cheat the computer?
B．The more words you write the better.
C．There is a sharp fall in human grading.
D．But humans are better at scoring，right?
E．He found there wasn’t much difference in the scores.
F．But it can tell you that you’ve mistaken there for their.
G．Computers have been used to grade essays for a long time.
语篇解读 本文是议论文。文章主要讨论了电脑阅卷的利弊。
36．解析： 根据前两句Humans can grade about 30 essays per hour.Computers can grade thousands of essays in seconds以及下一段的Not so可知，D项“但是人比电脑阅卷阅得好，对吧？”符合语境。
答案： D
37．解析： 根据该段首句中的Not so可知，Mark Shermis认为人工阅卷不一定比电脑做得好。因此他比较人工阅卷和电脑阅卷的结果是：没有发现二者之间存在太大的区别。
答案： E
38．解析： 根据下一句And it can tell you that you’ve made some grammatical mistakes可知，F项“电脑可以识别拼写错误”符合语境。F项中的it can tell you和下一句中的it can tell you相呼应。
答案： F
39．解析： 根据该空前的he wrote a “bad” essay that received the highest score和该空后的Just throw out all the rules for good writing that you’ve ever learned可知，空格处需要询问具体做法的问句将上下文连接起来。
答案： A
40．解析： 根据上一句中的Almost half of the score is based on length可知，既然电脑评分参考文章长度，那么写的词数越多越好。
答案： B

Dear Harry，
Nice to receive your email.I’d like to tell you about my favourite sport，swimming.
At the age of six，I began to learn swimming from my parents，who are good at it.Now I often go swimming with my friends in my spare time.Besides，I go to sports school every weekend，where I have learned many swimming skills.Swimming does good to my health，and I have made many friends as well.
My favourite swimmer is Ye Shiwen，who won two gold medals at 2012 London Olympic Games at the age of 16.I hope I can swim as well as her and have the opportunity to take part in the Olympic Games in the future.
Yours，
Li Hua

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，从各题所给的4个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出最佳选项。
A
As early as 1894，the newlyformed International Olympic Committee (IOC) considered ice skating as a possibility for the first modern Olympic Games which would be held in 1896.
In 1911，a member of the IOC suggested that winter sports should be staged as part of the 1912 Olympics in Helsinki.Some opposed the idea.At last，the IOC decided to hold Winter Olympic Games in 1916.However，World War Ⅰ broke out in 1914.After 1920，the national governing bodies for winter sports in several countries began talking about the possibility of a separate Winter Olympics.
The town of Chamonix，in the French Alps，planned to hold a winter sports festival in 1924，at the same time Paris was to host the Olympics.The Marquis de Polignac，a member of the IOC，suggested that the festival be formally recognized as the Winter Olympic Games.The IOC didn’t go that far，but did agree that Chamonix could call its festival an “Olympic winter carnival”．
The festival drew 258 athletes from 16 countries to compete in bobsledding (雪橇车比赛)，figure skating，hockey，Nordic skiing and speed skating.Charles Jewtraw from the United States won the first gold medal，in the 500meter speed skating，but the festival’s hero was Claus Thunberg from Finland.He won five medals，three of which were gold，in speed skating.
Weather has often been a major story at the Winter Olympics，and so it was at Chamonix.The festival opened with rain and unseasonably warm temperature that turned snow and ice to mud.Then temperature dropped as far as 25 below zero and the mud became ice.
Despite the weather，more than 10,000 people showed up.At its yearly meeting in 1925，the IOC recognized the Chamonix festival as the first Winter Olympics and decided that the Winter Games would be held every four years，just like the Summer Olympics.
语篇解读 本文简单介绍了冬季奥运会的由来。
21．Why was the first Winter Olympic Games not held in 1916?
A．Because the IOC didn’t agree to it.
B．Because it was still under discussion.
C．Because some people opposed the idea.
D．Because World War Ⅰ broke out in 1914.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However，World War Ⅰ broke out in 1914.”可知是第一次世界大战打断了冬奥会的进程。
答案： D
22．How many years earlier was the first modern Olympic Games held than the first Winter Olympic Games?
A．16. B．24.
C.28. D．29.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段的“for the first modern Olympic Games which would be held in 1896”可知第一届现代奥运会是1896年召开；根据第三段和最后一段可知第一届冬奥会是1924年召开，通过计算可知C正确。
答案： C
23．We can know from the passage that________.
A．the weather destroyed the first Winter Olympics
B．people from 16 countries watched the first Winter Olympics
C．Charles Jewtraw won the most medals in the first Winter Olympics
D．Finland got at least 3 gold medals in speed skating in the first Winter Olympics
解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段的“Claus Thunberg from Finland.He won five medals，three of which were gold，in speed skating”可知芬兰的Claus Thunberg在速滑中得到了3枚金牌，由此可推断芬兰至少在速滑中得到了3枚金牌。
答案： D
24．What’s the best title for the passage?
A．The development of the Olympics
B．The importance of weather in the Olympics
C．The story of the first Winter Olympic Games
D．How did the Winter Olympics come into being?

答案： D

Earthquakes.Floods (洪水)．It seems that every day we read about at least one of these somewhere in the world.But every year，somewhere，another kind of disaster causes great damage to plants and people.It’s something much smaller and not so wellknown as an earthquake—it’s an insect called the locust (蝗虫)．
The locust usually lives on its own and eats on its own.But，sometimes，something changes the way nature works.When the number of locusts increases somewhere and there are lots of plants to eat，the locusts get together in ‘swarms’．
Perhaps the most dangerous locust is the desert locust.It is found in Africa，the Middle East，and Asia—in about 60 countries altogether.When desert locusts swarm，they bring problems to onetenth of all the humans in the world.
A swarm of desert locusts can be 1,200 km2 in size—imagine an area that is over 20 kilometres wide and 50 kilometres long，full of locusts！And there can be 50 million locusts in each square kilometre.Each locust eats its own weight in plants every day—so a swarm of desert locusts can eat more than 150 million kilos of food in one day.They can also fly very long distances—in 1954 a swarm of locusts from northwest Africa flew thousands of miles to finally land in Great Britain!
It’s no wonder that farmers in many countries of the world fear the desert locust more than snakes.It’s the desert locust that destroys the harvest (收成) and brings hunger to people all over the world.

A team of middle schoolers from North Dakota has turned a prizewinning idea into reality with their Recycling Bin app (废物回收箱应用软件)．The app encourages recycling by providing users with a searchable map of nearby recycling centers.
The group of nine sixth graders from STEM Center Middle School，in West Fargo，North Dakota，came up with the idea as part of a school program for the Verizon Innovative App Challenge.The competition was designed by the Verizon Foundation to increase students’ interest in science，technology，engineering，and math，or STEM.It asks students to think of an app that could solve (解决) a problem in their school.The students came up with the Recycling Bin when they saw a need for more recycling in their school for a long time.“We thought that this would really help a lot of people，” Jaden Hilkemann,12，said.
They kept their idea simple so that anyone could use it.The middle schoolers were surprised when they were among the ten national winning teams.“I didn’t think our app was this good！” Joram Stith,12，said.“We were the youngest winning group.”
With the help of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Media Lab，they turned their idea into an app ready for download.“We had groups of two or three people each developing one part of the app，” Hunter Koehmstedt,12，said.“We worked together and it was great.” Jacob Pfeifer,12，added that they learned a lot working together.“At first，we all didn’t agree on exactly what we wanted it to do，but in the end we all came to an agreement，” he said.
In June，the free Recycling Bin app became available for download.“I was very excited when it went up on the app store，” Seralyn Blake,12，said.“A lot of my family members downloaded the app.It was pretty cool.”

A discussion is now taking place in our town.Should we allow the Odeon Triplex Cinema to be built at the Havenswood Shopping Center？Some people are over_the_moon_about the idea of finally having our own movie theater in Havenswood.However，others would rather travel ten miles north to the nearest theater in Gadway in order to keep our quiet town the way it is.They say it is enough to have Marvin’s Movie Video Rentals (租赁) in the shopping center.
Of course，you can plan your own moviewatching schedule by renting and viewing movies when it is convenient for you.You can talk to friends or family members who are watching the movie with you without bothering any strangers seated nearby.It is also a less expensive way to view a movie compared to going to a theater，especially if more than one person is watching the video.
On the other hand，seeing a movie in a theater is an experience all its own.You can see the movie on a wide screen.To be viewed on a television screen，a film must be changed in some way to make it smaller，which results in a picture that is not complete.
Another issue is sound.The sound from a television，even when you have a home stereo system (立体音响)，cannot compare to the sound system in a movie theater.Your experience of a movie improves when you can clearly hear all of the sounds，loud and soft.Furthermore，at home，viewing companions (同伴) often talk during a movie，which makes you miss out on what’s happening in the film.
Besides，having a movie theater will not mean that you can’t still go to Marvin’s and rent a movie！You will just have a choice that you didn’t have before.Isn’t it time for Havenswood people to enjoy a little progress?

Humans can grade about 30 essays (文章) per hour.Computers can grade thousands of essays in seconds.__36__
“Not so”，says Mark Shermis，teacher of the College of Education at the University of Akron，in Ohio.He used computer programs to grade more than 16,000 middle school and high school essays that had already been graded by humans.__37__
Shermis says，however，that the grading software (软件) has its limitations (局限)．“It can’t recognize a good reason，” he explained.“__38__And it can tell you that you’ve made some grammatical mistakes.”
Les Perelman says that the grading software will teach bad writing.He was the director of writing at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for 26 years.While testing one grading system，he wrote a “bad” essay that received the highest score.__39__Just throw out all the rules for good writing that you’ve ever learned，he says.
“Almost half of the score is based on length，” he said.“__40__Never use a simple word when you can use a big word.Never say many，say myriad or plethora.”
A．How did he cheat the computer?
B．The more words you write the better.
C．There is a sharp fall in human grading.
D．But humans are better at scoring，right?
E．He found there wasn’t much difference in the scores.
F．But it can tell you that you’ve mistaken there for their.
G．Computers have been used to grade essays for a long time.
语篇解读 本文是议论文。文章主要讨论了电脑阅卷的利弊。
36．解析： 根据前两句Humans can grade about 30 essays per hour.Computers can grade thousands of essays in seconds以及下一段的Not so可知，D项“但是人比电脑阅卷阅得好，对吧？”符合语境。
答案： D
37．解析： 根据该段首句中的Not so可知，Mark Shermis认为人工阅卷不一定比电脑做得好。因此他比较人工阅卷和电脑阅卷的结果是：没有发现二者之间存在太大的区别。
答案： E
38．解析： 根据下一句And it can tell you that you’ve made some grammatical mistakes可知，F项“电脑可以识别拼写错误”符合语境。F项中的it can tell you和下一句中的it can tell you相呼应。
答案： F
39．解析： 根据该空前的he wrote a “bad” essay that received the highest score和该空后的Just throw out all the rules for good writing that you’ve ever learned可知，空格处需要询问具体做法的问句将上下文连接起来。
答案： A
40．解析： 根据上一句中的Almost half of the score is based on length可知，既然电脑评分参考文章长度，那么写的词数越多越好。
答案： B

Dear Harry，
Nice to receive your email.I’d like to tell you about my favourite sport，swimming.
At the age of six，I began to learn swimming from my parents，who are good at it.Now I often go swimming with my friends in my spare time.Besides，I go to sports school every weekend，where I have learned many swimming skills.Swimming does good to my health，and I have made many friends as well.
My favourite swimmer is Ye Shiwen，who won two gold medals at 2012 London Olympic Games at the age of 16.I hope I can swim as well as her and have the opportunity to take part in the Olympic Games in the future.
Yours，
Li Hua
