第二节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)
There may be a time to give up but there are also times when we need to keep trying. My 　36　 tells me that quitting too soon is the greater problem. And the reason is 　37　: it’s usually easier to give something up than to stay with it.
My kids often wanted to give up music lessons. I 　38　 them not to quit too early. “　39　 with the lessons,” I told them. They 　40　, and were later glad of it. I’ve spoken with many 　41　 who said to me, “I used to take music lessons when I was a child. I 　42　 that I quit too soon. I wish I knew how to play 　43　 today.” But nobody said, “I regret the fact that I didn’t quit sooner.”
　44　, it’s not only about music lessons...it’s about knowing, when things are 　45　, whether to keep going or to give up. How many 　46　 were never written because someone quit too soon? How many dreams never bore 　47　 because someone gave them up?
There were good times to 　48　 a boring job or to move on to a new relationship. But too often, I quit too early. I didn’t stick around long enough to see what might 　49　 if I persevered (坚持) just a bit longer.
I don’t think Albert Einstein had the 　50　 of quitting too early. “It’s not that I’m so smart,” he famously said, “it’s just that I stay with problems 　51　.” I think he understood the 　52　 of not giving up too soon, which alone shows how 　53　 he really was.
I’ll never begin to understand the physics of the universe like Dr. Einstein, but it doesn’t 　54　 a genius (天才) to know when it’s not yet time to quit. 　55　 is often just the result of staying with problems a little longer. And even I can do that.
36. A. education B. experience C. homework D. career
37. A. different B. strange C. famous D. simple
38. A. begged B. forced C. encouraged D. ordered
39. A. Stay B. Talk C. Play D. Relax
40. A. did B. answered C. hesitated D. forgot
41. A. dancers B. adults C. actors D. students
42. A. suggest B. report C. regret D. expect
43. A. tennis B. the game C. basketball D. the piano
44. A. Of course B. At last C. For example D. Above all
45. A. useless B. rough C. strange D. Heavy
46. A. notices B. letters C. books D. messages
47. A. interest B. pains C. expenses D. fruit
48. A. face B. offer C. leave D. miss
49. A. stop B.happen C. work D. exist
50. A. step B. duty C.experiment D. problem
51. A. longer B. too C. closer D again
52. A. trouble B. hope C. value D. time
53. A.happy B. curious C. careful D. smart
54. A. bother B. visit C. take D. conduct
55. A. Skill B. Success C. Challenge D. Effect
第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40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
An African—born British scientist received an environment research prize for showing how bees can be used to reduce conflict between people and elephants. Lucy King’s work proved that beehive（峰房）“fences” can keep elephants out of African farmers’ fields. The animals are scared of bees, which can bite them inside their long noses, and flee when they hear buzzing.
Dr King's work offers an intelligent solution to an age—old challenge, while providing further confirmation of the importance of bees to people and a really clever way of preserving the world's largest land animal for current and future generations. Working in Kenya, Dr King and her team showed that more than 90% of elephants will flee when they hear the sounds of buzzing bees. Afterwards, they also found that elephants produce a special sound to warn their fellows of the danger. They used the findings to construct barriers where beehives are woven into a fence, keeping the elephants away from places where people live and grow food.
A two-year project involving 34 farms showed that elephants trying to go through the fences would shake them, disturbing the bees. Later, the fences were adopted by farming communities in three Kenyan districts — who also made increased amounts of money from selling honey.
As Africa's population grows, competition for space between people and elephants is becoming more serious, and there are fatalities on both sides. The same is true in parts of Asia. Sri Lanka alone sees the deaths of all estimated 60 people and 200 elephants each year from conflict.
Lucy King now wants to see whether the Kenyan technique will work in other parts of Africa — and perhaps, eventually, in Asia.
56. The underlined part in Paragraph 1 means the same as___________.
A. competition for space between people and elephants
B. confirmation of the importance of bees to people
C. intelligent solution to an age—old challenge
D. way of preserving the world's largest land animal
57. Which of the following orders of events correctly shows how Dr King’s project
works?
①Beehive fences are built around a farm.
②Elephants hear the buzzing and run away.
③Bees are disturbed and fly out of the beehives.
④Elephants trying to enter the farm shake the fences.
A. ①→②→③→④ B. ①→②→④→③
C. ④→③→②→① D. ①→④→③→②
58. Dr King's solution is described as “intelligent” because_____________.
A. it successfully keeps elephants out of African farmers' fields
B. the fences were adopted by farming communities in three Kenyan districts
C. it protects crops, produces honey and preserves the elephant at the same time
D. more than 90％ of elephants flee when they hear the sounds of buzzing bees
59. The underlined word “fatalities” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to__________.
A. population B. communities C. deaths D. fences
60. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Dr king was born in Britain.
B. Conflicts between people and elephants are rather serious.
C. The technique has proved to work well in Asia, too.
D. Most elephants scare bees.
B
Although the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand have English as an official language, the United States does not have an official language. This is why it’s possible to become a US citizen without speaking English. Canada also has French as an official language, though it is mostly spoken in the province of Quebec. Because many of the English speakers who originally lived in Canada came from the US, there is little difference in American and Canadian English. Similarly, Australian English and New Zealand English have few differences, except Australia was originally settled as a penal colony (罪犯流放地) and New Zealand was not. New Zealanders were more attached to the Received Pronunciation of the upper class in England, so their dialect is considered closer to British English.
British colonialism (殖民主义) has spread English all over the world, and it is still popular in South Africa, India, and Singapore, among other nations. In South Africa, English became an official language, along with Afrikaans and 9 African languages, in the 1996 constitution. However, only 3% of the country’s 30 million people are native English speakers. Twenty percent are descendants (后代) of Dutch farmers who speak Afrikaans, and the rest are native Africans.
India became independent from Britain in 1947. However, today English and Hindi are the official languages. Indian English is characterized by treating mass nouns as count nouns, frequent use of the “isn’t it?” tag, use of more compounds, and a different use of prepositions. In Singapore, Chinese, Malay and Indian languages all influence the form of English spoken. Everyone is taught English in the school system, but there are a few differences from British English as well. Mass nouns are treated as count nouns, “use to” means usually, and no articles are used before occupations.
