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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
If you’re dreaming of visiting one of those picture-perfect European towns filled with old-world attractiveness and scenic beauty, here is a look at the most beautiful small towns in Europe.
Manarola
Manarola, Italy, is filled with rainbow-colored homes along the Mediterranean(地中海) coast. This attractive fishing town is famous for its unbelievable wine, and the paintings. There are no cars here, no traffic lights, or traffic noise. You can drive to Manarola, but you’ll have to park just outside the town and then take a shuttle bus or walk in on foot.
Garmisch-Partenkirchen
Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, is a fascinating(迷人的) mountain town. Once two separate(分开的) towns, one Roman and the other Teutonic, the 1936 Winter Olympics forced them to become one, though the two sides still have different characters(特点). The town dates back to 15 AD, filled with narrow, cobblestoned streets lined with historic three or four-story buildings painted with religious scenes(宗教场景).
Marsaxlokk
The energetic trading port of Marsaxlokk, Malta, was built in 900 BC. Today, this pictures-like town is the main supplier(供应地) of fish to the island nation that sits in the Mediterranean Sea. It has no modern buildings to ruin its attractiveness. With such quiet surroundings, including the traditional luzzu’s (fishing boats), it’s a particularly charming(迷人的) place to visit.
Portmagee, Ireland
In a country filled with beautiful towns, Portmagee, is a standout, sitting on the southwest coast of Ireland. This postcard-perfect seaside fishing town has a row of brightly colored buildings along with a rich and colorful history. At The Bridge Bar, you’ll find live music many nights of the week along with nice food and a fine glass of beer.
21. In which town are tourists not allowed to go sightseeing by car?
A. Manarola B. Garmisch-Partenkirchen
C. Marsaxlokk D. Portmagee
22. Marsaxlokk is attractive for______.
A. wine and paintings B. religious scenes
C. fish and old buildings D. rich history and live music
23. Manarola and Portmagee are perfect choices for tourists who ______.
A. prefer enjoyment in an old coastal fishing town
B. want to stay on a Mediterranean island
C. have special interest in traditional fishing boats
D. need to be refreshed in a mountain town
B
I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue(救援) and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival(存活) is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2to-3weekold owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.
I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate(定位) the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct(建造) a nest in a tree.
The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches(松树枝) into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.
Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were nowhere to be found. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
A nervous night to be sure，but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded(回应) to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And with it was the greatest sight of all — LUNCH！The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.
24. What is unavoidable(不可避免的) in the author’s rescue work according to Paragraph 1?
A. Failing to save the creature.
B. Getting injured in his work.
C. Feeling uncertain about his future.
D. Creatures forced out of their homes.
25. Why was the author called to Muttontown?
A. To rescue a woman.
B. To take care of a woman.
C. To look at a baby owl.
D. To cure(治愈) a young owl.
26. What made the chick calm down?
A. A new nest.
B. Some food.
C. A recording.
D. Its parents.
27. How would the author feel about the result of the event?
A. It’s unexpected.
B. It’s beautiful.
C. It’s funny.
D. It’s disappointing.
C
One Moore Elementary school teacher is showing students the importance of communication through “shout-outs”. Third Grade Moore Elementary Teacher Lindsey Winders said a shout-out is a compliment(称赞) that students can say or write down. “Like, ‘hey I noticed you doing a really great job solving your math problems yesterday. I wanted to make sure you know that I saw you do that,’” Winders said.
Winders said she makes sure she is giving shout-outs to her students every day. “I might write them a sticky note, or write them a quick little note in their planner. I might just say it to them on their way into the classroom or on their way out of the classroom, but most importantly I try to do it every day,” Winders said.
In addition to the compliments, Winders has the students greet(问候) each other every morning during morning meeting. She will have students give examples to the class of how to communicate in different settings(场景). Third grade student Nayelli Moranchel said she had given at least six shout-outs this year. “It makes me happy, because they always write something back,” Moranchel said.
Recently, Winders took it one step further and wrote a personalized note on each of her students’ desk. “In our classroom, sometimes it can be challenging for me to give a compliment or a shout-out to each and every one of them in a way that feels equal(平等的) and valuable at the same time. So I decide that there is no better way than leaving a note on their desk that can stay for as long as they wants it to,” Winders said.
Winders said it is encouraging when she sees her students copy the act, and give each other compliments without her guidance(指导).
28. What does the underlined word “that” mean in Paragraph 1?
A. Giving a shout-out.
B. Solving math problems.
C. Teaching important lessons.
D. Writing down the names of students.
29. How does Winders show her students the importance of compliments?
A. By helping them take notes.
B. By making practical plans for them.
C. By serving as a daily example herself.
D. By greeting them during morning meeting.
30. What is the best way that Winders finds to give her students compliments?
A. Leaving a note on each student’s desk.
B. Praising them as long as they want it.
C. Explaining the value of compliments.
D. Giving them shout-outs at the same time.
31. What can we infer about Winder’s way of praising students?
A. It is very successful.
B. It is facing challenges.
C. It needs proper guidance.
D. It is copied by other teachers.
D
Snowbirds are people who leave their homes when the temperature drops and head to warmer climates. They are mostly retirees(退休人员) and business owners who can afford(付得起) to take the winter off. While the snow flies in the Northern states, they are enjoying golf, sailing and barbecues in mild temperatures in the South. Then, after winter passes, they return to their homes in the North.
Most snowbirds are away from Canada and the Northern states between the middle of October and the end of November. They pack up and head to Florida, Alabama, Texas, California, and all of the other Southern states. Some may even go as far as Australia or Italy to escape the cold winter weather. There are special communities(社区) for snowbirds in many areas. Snowbirds are also offered special discounts(折扣) in some restaurants, hotels and area attractions. Several states even have special snowbird resorts (度假胜地). There are several online communities and local resources to help snowbirds get set in their seasonal homes.
Some snowbirds own homes both in the South and in the North. Both homes have everything they will need for their stay, minimizing(最小化) the amount of packing necessary when moving from one to the other. Other snowbirds will rent apartments for their stay outside their home state.
RVs(房车), are a huge part of the snowbird lifestyle. RVs allow snowbirds to move from place to place on a whim (奇想), bringing everything they need with them. They spend nights in RV parks, large parking lots or anywhere else they choose to stay. RVs have beds, bathrooms, and most other modern conveniences at home. Although the space is small, there is more than enough room for a couple to live in.
32. Which of the following is most probably a snowbird?
A. One who retires and has a lot of free time.
B. One who likes to play in snow in winter.
C. One who travels around the world the whole year.
D. One who head for the South to avoid the cold weather.
33. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that .
A. the Internet makes it easier for snowbirds to find seasonal homes.
B. snowbirds are not welcome in many areas.
C. snowbirds have to stay in special communities.
D. it’s not convenient to live as a snowbird.
34. RVs allow snowbirds to .
A. avoid the heavy traffic
B. carry everything they have at home
C. have a comfortable life wherever they are
D. save more money than renting an apartment
35. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce a kind of bird.
B. To introduce fun places for winter vacation.
C. To introduce a kind of lifestyle.

第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
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。
More than 40 million Americans move each year, but not always by choice. Whether you’re moving because of work or schooling or for better chances, adjusting to（适应）the life in a new place can be difficult. 36 Here are some tips to help you adjust to your new home.
Treat it as an adventure(冒险)
37 So stay positive and get out there and explore! Taste the local food and visit famous places and museums. Try local activities that aren’t popular in your former city, such as skating if you come from a beach town or surfing if you lived in the mountains. You may discover a talent(才华) or interest you never knew you had.
Get involved with（介入）your neighbors
Introduce yourself to neighbors and everyone else you meet. 38 This is the best way to get advice about living in your area, and to make new friends. Attend local events that interest you, visit the markets or yard sales, take classes and so on. All of these things will help you meet people and feel connected.
39
It takes time to get to know a new place, so don’t expect to feel comfortable right away. 40 To help make the process easier you can meet new people, find a support group near you. A fresh move is also a fresh start. Therefore it is a great time to start realizing a dream you’ve had, whether it is going back to school, starting a new career, or finishing a novel.
A. Find what you love.
B. Be patient and go after your dream.
C. Give yourself time to adjust.
D. Tell them you’re new in the town.
E. It is especially true when you don’t love your new city very much.

Dear Mr. Brown,
How is everything going? I’m writing to tell you something about the arrangements(安排) for our trip to Beijing this weekend.
I am excited to have the chance to visit the Palace Museum with you. The Palace Museum is where the imperial(帝王的) families used to live and it is now a historical museum with collections of valuable antiques(古董). I have booked tickets for both of us on the Internet. The train leaves at 7:40 a.m this Saturday. So we’d better meet at the train station at 7:00 a.m. It usually takes about half an hour to pick tickets, check in and get on board. Please do remember to take your passport with you. We need it for our tickets and accommodation(住宿).
I am already looking forward to our trip and I believe we will have a wonderful time in Beijing.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
