第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，每小题2分，满分30分）
第一节 (共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分)
A
Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. ＂It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.＂ Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.
In foreign countries, it is challenging with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier. ＂The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,＂ said the 30-year-old man.
Richardson describes traveling alone like ＂a shot in the arm＂, which ＂makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything＂. He said, ＂The feeling of having overcome something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.＂
The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said, ＂Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.＂
21. Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?
A. Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.
B. It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.
C. It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.
D. Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.
22. Traveling alone is challenging because ____________.
A. you have to make things on your own
B. it is hard for you to prove yourself to others
C. you can only depend on yourself whatever happens
D. it will finally build your character
23. What can we infer about Chris Richardson?
A. He started traveling alone at an early age.
B. He was once shot in the arm.
C. He used to work as a salesman.
D. His website inspires others a lot.
24. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Travel Abroad B. Travel Alone
C. Travel Light D. Travel Wide and Far
B
Have you felt annoyed when a cellphone rings during the class? Something must be done to stop this. Now in New York City, USA, a rule is carried out in schools. Students can’t even bring cellphones to school. Is it a good thing or not?
Anxious parents say that cell phones are an important tool in holding New York City’s families together.
＂I worry about it,＂ said Elizabeth Lorries Ritter, a mother of a middle school kid. It’s necessary in our everyday life. We have a washing machine. We have running water, and we have cell phones.＂
Many American parents think cell phones connect them to their children on buses, getting out from subways, and walking through unknown places.
＂I have her call me when she gets out of school,＂said Lindsay Walt, a schoolgirl’s mother.＂No one in New York is going to let their child go to school without a cell phone.＂
What about the cell phone owners, the students? Most of the students said cell phones were essential and the cell phone was like an extra hand or foot for them.
＂I feel so empty,＂said May Chom, 14. ＂There is also no way to listen to music on the way to school without my phone. It will be a really, really boring trip.＂
25. Students often use a cell phone _____________.
A. to enjoy listening to music B. to make phone calls to their teachers
C. to walk as an extra foot D. to work as a washing machine
26. According to the passage, _____________.
A. many American parents don’t think cell phones are necessary for the students
B. cell phones only bring troubles to the school life
C. cell phones connect children with their families when they are outside
D. cell phones can help students learn better
27. What does the underlined word ＂essential＂ mean in Chinese?
A. 时髦的 B. 重要的 C. 多余的 D. 昂贵的
28. What’s the parents’ attitude towards the rule — not to use a cell phone in school?
A. Supportive. B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Doubtful.

C
＂Have a nice day!＂ may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says ＂Have a nice day!＂ with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.
＂Have a nice day. Next!＂ This version(版本) of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries(食品杂货) out of the door. The words come out in the same tone with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.
The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say, like＂Oh, you just had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day.＂
The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says ＂Have a nice day＂ to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.
29. By saying ＂Have a nice day＂ a stranger may___________.
A. express respect to you B. give his blessing to you
C. try to be friendly to you D. share his pleasure with you
30. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Have a Nice Day — a Meaningless Expression
B. Have a Nice Day — a Heart-warming Greeting
C. Have a Nice Day — a Social Custom
D. Have a Nice Day — a Polite Ending of a Conversation

第II卷（非选择题，共50分）
第一节  语法填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（不多于3个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
While we are learning English, we should first pay more attention to listening and speaking. It is important because it is the basic work of reading and writing. Make sure to open your mouth and speak English loudly and  　56　 (confident). Don’t be afraid of 　57 (make) some mistakes. You should also develop the habit of keeping 58　(diary) in English. That’s 59　 best way I can think of to improve your 60　(write) English. If it is possible, ask some others to go through 　 61　 you have written and tell you where there is a mistake. Many mistakes in your speaking will be easily 　62　(find) once you write them down.
　　Through correcting some unnecessary mistakes, you can do better 　63　 learning English than ever before. At the same time, you are supposed to choose some proper reading materials for yourselves, which I think should be 64　 too difficult nor too easy. While you are reading, don’t stop to look up the words in the dictionary. If you refer to the dictionary too often, most probably you will get 　65　(bore) and stop reading in no time.
