第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分）It’s not piano lessons or dance classes.Nowadays,the biggest extra-curricular activity in the west is going to a tutor.Pat,a mother in Canada,spends about 800 Canadian dollars a month on tutors when finding out half her daughter’s class have tutors.She feels like her child is going to fall behind because everyone else seems to be ahead.
Shelley,a mother of three,also has tutors constantly coming in and out of her home.She was always yelling when she couldn’t manage to get her children focused.When she gets a tutor once a week,they become focused for one entire hour and can get most of their homework done.
Tutoring isn’t simply a private school phenomenon.Nor is it intended only for lower-achieving students.In Canada alone,seven percent of high school students reported using a tutor in 2010.That increased to 15 percent in 2015.
Overall,parents hire tutors because they are worried school are not meeting their expectations,but there is also a culture shift.A special value is placed on education in Asia,where tutoring is viewed as an extension to the school day. As a large number of Asians emigrated to the west over the recent years,their attitudes towards education have had an influence.
Another reason for the growth in business is parental frustration and their packed schedules.A lot of parents just don’t have time to help their children with homework and some others couldn’t help their children after Grade 3,according to a president of an American tutoring company.
There has been a noticeable change in the attitudes,too.Children used to get bullied（被欺负）for having a tutor, now it’s becoming the norm to have one.
Children don’t seem to mind that they have a tutor.One parent feels surprised that so many of her child’s classmates have tutors.For the amount parents pay in tuition,children should have as much extra help children with a tutor because_______.
1、Shelley decided to equip her children with a tutor because_______.
A．her children’s school is not meeting her expectation B．over half of her children’s classmates have tutors
C．her children’s homework is too difficult for her D．she had a hard time getting her children focused
2、In Canada,the population of high school students using a tutor grew by _______from 2010 to 2015.
A．7%. B．8%. C．10%. D．15%.
3、According to the passage,which of the following statement is TRUE?
A．Pat got a tutor because she can’t help her children with homework.
B．Shelley spends about 800 Canadian dollars on tutors every month.
C．Asians usually place more emphasis on education that Canadians.
D．Most students with the help of tutors have poor grades at school.
4、The tutoring business in the west has been seen in growth in recent years because_______.

22．（8分） During the period from 1660 through 1800, Great Britain became the world’s leader. Language itself became submitted to rules during this period. This need to fix the English language is best illustrated (描述) in the making of The Dictionary of the English Language by Samuel Johnson. Guides to the English language had been in existence before Johnson began his project in 1746. These, however, were often little more than lists of hard words. When definitions of common words were supplied, they were often unhelpful. For example, a “horse” was defined in an early dictionary as “a beast well known”.
Johnson changed all that, but the task was not an easy one. Renting a house at 17 Gough Square, Johnson began working in the worst of conditions. Supported only by his publisher, Johnson worked on the Dictionary with five assistants. Compared to the French Academy’s dictionary, which took forty workers fifty-five years to complete (1639-1694), Johnson’s dictionary was completed by very few people very quickly.
Balanced on a chair with only three legs, Johnson sat against a wall in a room filled with books. Johnson would read widely from these books, mark passages illustrating the use of a particular word, and give the books to his assistants so that they could copy the passages on slips of paper. These slips were then stuck to eighty large notebooks under the key words that Johnson had selected. Fixing the word by this method, Johnson could record a word，s usage and its definition.
How many passages were used? According to Johnson’s modern biographer Walter Jackson Bate, the original total number could have been over 240,000. How many words were defined by the lexicographer? Over 40,000 words appeared in two large books in April of 1755. Did Johnson fully understand the huge task he was undertaking when he began? As he told his contemporary biographer James Boswell, “I knew very well what I was undertaking and very well how to do it — and have done it very well.”
1、What is the problem of early English dictionaries?
A．They only offer simple pictures.
B．They list just a few foreign words.
C．They simply give some translations.
D．They add no more than some big words.
2、What does the underlined word “lexicographer” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A．A publisher. B．A biographer.
C．A maker of dictionaries. D．An assistant.
3、What can we infer about Samuel Johnson from the text?
A．He standardized English.
B．He cared about authority a lot.
C．He gained much financial support.
D．He complained of working conditions.
4、What is the purpose of this passage?
A．To discuss the problems of dictionaries.
B．To encourage people to work on a project.
C．To persuade people to buy the new dictionary.
D．To introduce how Johnson complete his dictionary.
23．（8分）Christmas is a time for eating great food, giving and receiving presents, and most importantly spending time with your family watching some classic Christmas movies.
The Grinch (2000)
This is a Christmas must-watch and one of Jim Carrey's best performances. It was also originally a nursery tale book written by Dr Seuss. It's the story of a green monster who wants to ruin Christmas but who in the end discovers the power of love and generosity. I promise it's a great film with plenty of laughs along the way.
Love Actually (2003)
While this is not a personal favourite of mine, people in the UK absolutely love this film. It has many featuring actors and actresses. It might be a little difficult to follow as there are complex plots, so I recommend watching a translated version or enabling subtitles (字幕) in your native language. However, the heart-warming elements of the film make it worth watching.
Home Alone (1990)
This amusing masterwork is one of my favourite films of all time. It tells the story of a boy, Kevin, who is left alone in his house when his large family forgets to take him on vacation with them. While the families are away, burglars try to rob the house and Kevin must protect his home by setting traps. The trips, falls and traps will have you laughing out loud as you watch a 10-year-old boy beat two grown men.
Miracle on 34th Street (1994)
You can't have Christmas in an English-speaking country without watching this movie. It's not funny like Home Alone or The Grinch, but it is incredibly touching. It's about a man who claims to be Santa, but nobody believes him except a lawyer and a little girl. The story-line may seem a little childish but you can enjoy it at any age.
1、Which film is adapted from a fairy tale?
A．The Grinch.
B．Home Alone.
C．Love Actually.
D．Miracle on 34th Street.
2、What is Home Alone mainly about?
A．An unsuccessful family vacation.
B．A boy protecting home by himself.
C．A terrible suffering to a little boy.
D．A 10-year-old boy's practical jokes.
3、Why is Miracle on 34th Street so popular?
A．Owing to its moving plots.
B．Because of its funny story.
C．Due to its childish storyline.
D．For its famous actors and actresses.
24．（8分）Growing ups I always envied my friends who lived in one town in their whole lives. Coming from a military family makes this impossible. My brothers and I soon found that if we didn’t like a place we lived in, we’d soon be moving to a new place. Through all the ups and downs, I now realize that’s everything I’ve done, seen, and learned has made me into the person I am today.
The field day was the best day ever created. Being good at sports which I had done together with parents seemed to help me find my position at a new school. Despite the hot weather in San Antonio, Texas, I had to take outdoor activities. Sometimes we took the family mountain biking after school. My brothers and I were arranged to join in the swim team and practice yoga. These are the things I remember about my childhood. Now I thank my parents for teaching me these vital principles, which I will have with me the rest of my life.
I was always the shy girl and afraid to be myself. This didn’t bother me until I reached junior high school, when some girls judged me by what I wore, who I talked to and how skinny I was. I felt like I’d never done anything wrong to deserve such criticism. It was not until last year that I realized that I had to stay different from them and live my life according to my principles. I decided to be my own person. I never thought that being nice could cause me to be disliked. Anyway, I began hanging out with girls who had a lot in common with me like preferring outdoor sports. They were accepting and non-judgmental. I am now content with knowing that I am my own person and don’t let others control my life.
