For me， it happened last Sunday. Twice a week I run through the park by my house. There is an open area in the park， with a beautiful lake in the middle. Sometimes I can see turtles swim in the lake. The last couple of weeks I had noticed an old lady sitting on a bench with some turtles. My curious nature finally made me approach her， and I asked her what she was doing. She told me she was cleaning off the tiny plant life from the turtles shells. She said that it builds up and prevents their shells from being healthy and strong. Apparently， she had been doing this once a week for the last year. I also learned that even though this lake was not polluted， this was a common problem for turtles. I was amazed at this ladys commitment to helping out these helpless animals. So I asked her， “If what you say is true， then how will this really matter in the end？” She carefully set a turtle free back into the lake and watched it swim away. “I like to think that every little bit of help counts. And I think if they could talk， they would say it matters to them.”17Where was the old lady sitting?ABy a house.BBy a lake.CBy the ocean.答案：B18What does the old lady do to help the turtles?ASet them free back into the lake.BMake them swim well in the lake.CRemove plant life from their shells.答案：C19How often does the old lady come to the park?AOnce a week.BTwice a week.CEvery day.答案：A20What does the speaker want to say?ADont throw garbage in the water.BEveryone can make a difference.CTurtles are helpless.答案：B第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)第一节(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。ASome English words are made up of the same part and have different beginnings and different endings, such as import, export, report and transport. All these words, you can see, have the same “port”， which comes from the Latin word, meaning “to carry” or “to move” from one place to another. And according to the bit at the beginning, which we call the prefix (前缀), the meaning changes. “Import” means “to carry in” or “to bring into a country”； “export”， “ex” means “out of”， so this word means “to carry out of the country”； “re” means “back”， so the “report” means “to tell somebody, to bring back information to somebody”； “transport”， “trans” means “across” and it means “to carry across one place to another”Lets look at the following words: supporter, reporter, importer and exporter. You can see that in this case these words are nouns which are made up of the verbs plus a suffix (后缀), thus meaning a person who completes the verb. So supporter means somebody who supports. A reporter is somebody who reports. Importer is somebody who imports and exporter is somebody who exports, and so on.导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英语构词法的有关知识。21In the first sentence the underlined word “part” means “ ”Adifferent beginnings and different endingsBthe same part that has several meaningsCthe root of the wordDthe same root that has different meanings答案：C词义猜测题。从“Some English words are made up of the same part and have different beginnings and different endings”可知，part应是词根，而不是前缀或后缀。22By adding a prefix or a suffix to a root, we can get a word which has .Athe meaning of a Latin wordBa different meaningCthe meaning of “in” or “out of”Da lot of meanings答案：B推理判断题。根据第一段第三句和第二段第二句可推知，词根加上不同的前、后缀，可得到不同的意义。A和C太片面。23We can get a noun .Ajust by adding “er” to a verbBby changing a prefixConly by adding “er” to a rootDby adding a suffix to a verb答案：D细节理解题。根据第二段第二句中的“. these words are nouns which are made up of the verbs plus a suffix .”可知，在动词后加上一个后缀，就变成了名词。BThere are some differences between American English and British English. Some differences are quite interesting.When my friend Lily from London used the word “larder”， I didnt know what it meant. Realizing I didnt follow her, she used another word. I finally knew she wanted to find something to keep some food. The next word came up when we were planning a lunch date. She jotted down the date and time in her diary, while I marked my calendar. If she called me on the phone, she would ring me up. But if the line was busy, she would say the line was engaged.Most times, I can know what Lily means. Last week, she regretted sending her boys to watch an early morning tennis game without their fleeces. I thought that she meant without their jackets or something like those. Other times, we have to ask each other. She recently told me a funny tale about a woman who was pissed. I wondered what had made the lady angry. It turns out that pissed means drunk.Here is one more example. My British friend Jane was filling out a ticket at the grocery store recently. She asked the young man if he had a rubber. When she noticed he didnt follow her, she quickly asked for an eraser, which, in England, is often called a rubber.In order to communicate well with the British, we Americans should learn some words that the British use differently. And I think people who learn English as a second language should also realize that there are differences between American English and British English.篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文，通过举例说明了英国英语与美国英语的一些差别。24When Lily used the word “larder”， what was she probably looking for?AA ladder. BA cupboard.CSome food. DA cook.答案：B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Realizing I didnt follow her, she used another word. I finally knew she wanted to find something to keep some food.”可知，larder是用来保存食物的，即食物柜。25What does the underlined phrase “jotted down” in Paragraph 2 mean?AWrote down. BSettled down.CLooked for. DLearned about.答案：A词义猜测题。根据第二段中画线词后的“ . while I marked my calendar”中关键词marked(标记)提示可知，这里指她在日记里记下时间和日期。26According to the text, in British English, .Athe word “fleeces” means “tickets”Bthe word “pissed” means “angry”Cthe word “engaged” means “broken”Dthe word “rubber” means “eraser”答案：D细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“When she noticed he didnt follow her, she quickly asked for an eraser, which, in England, is often called a rubber.”可知，在英国，橡皮常常被称为rubber。CThere are so many expressions in American English that sound good but are not.“Face the music” is a good example. When someone says they have to face the music, it does not mean they are going to a musical show or concert. To face the music means to accept the bad results of an action.Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you the keys and says, “Thanks so much for watching my car while Im away. But please do not drive it. It is a very fast car and you are not on the insurance (保险)” But you do not listen. You want to show it to some friends and pretend (假装) the car is yours. So, you drive it around town one night. As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. The damage is serious. When your friend returns you must tell her what you have done and “face the music”. The “music” here is the result of your actions. It could be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both. Whatever the music is, you must face it.There are other American expressions that mean the same as “face the music”To “take your medicine” means to accept the results from something bad you have done. And if someone says, “You made your bed. Now lie in it.” He means you created a bad situation and now you will experience the results, or as we say in American spoken English, you must deal with it!“Pay the piper” also means the same as “face the music”. But, that expression has its own very interesting beginning. We will talk about that in the next Words and Their Stories.篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了美式英语中许多表达听起来很好，但其实真实含义并非如此。27Whats the main idea of this passage?ATo invite a friend to go to a musical performance.BTo tell people how to deal with a bad situation.CTo give people a lesson on an action.DTo introduce some expressions.答案：D主旨大意题。根据首段“There are so many expressions in American English that sound good but are not.”以及下文的举例可知，主要介绍了美式英语中许多表达听起来很好，但其实真实含义并非如此。故本文主要介绍了一些表达。28Which action belongs to “take your medicine”？AYou broke the traffic rules a
