第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的AB、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分） Students should be able to show what they know. Many folks take this as an apparent truth. But I think it demands closer examination.
Possessing a skill or piece of knowledge is not the same thing as being able to show it. This is why many smart young people hate school. Understanding，figuring out，and getting a handle on a piece of knowledge is really exciting，but having to prove to somebody else that you understand is a pain in the neck.
Finding proof of student learning is a huge part of the teacher’s job，and whether it is done poorly or not makes all the difference in that teacher’s effectiveness. There is a huge difference between“how do I figure out if this student understands”and“how do I make this student prove to me he gets it”.The first is a valuable approach；the second is the first step on the road toward wasting everybody’s time.
And there’s the problem. If we start with the assumption that a student who knows must be able to show his knowledge to our satisfaction，we will be traveling down the wrong road. The more we demand that students prove to us that they know the stuff，the more we will design artificial tasks that demand a set of skills and knowledge entirely different from those we really want to measure.
As a classroom teacher，I have to remember that the burden（重担）is on me to find a way to see what my students know；the burden is not on them to put on whatever trained monkey show.
It may not be the worst thing ever to say，Students should be able to show what they know.”But I think it’s far more useful to say，“Teachers should be able to discover what students know.”
1、What does the underlined phrase in the second paragraph mean？
A．Very dangerous. B．Very annoying.
C．Very surprising. D．Very frequent.
2、According to the third paragraph，a teacher should have the ability to________.
A．discover whether his students have understood
B．avoid wasting the precious time in class
C．apply various approaches while teaching
D．give students the chance to prove themselves
3、What does the author think of the artificial tasks designed to test student learning？
A．They should be limited in number.
B．They are a huge burden on teachers.
C．They should mainly focus on effectiveness.
D．They slide away from the original purpose.
4、What is the main idea of the passage？
A．Students should be able to show what they know.

B．There are many ways to find proof of student learning.
C．Teachers should be able to discover what students know.
D．There should be better understanding between teachers and students.
22．（8分） Are you afraid of sharks? What about snakes or spiders? Put those fears aside: because in the U.S. you’re far more likely to be killed or injured by a deer skipping across the road.
Deer cause more than 200 humans deaths each year, plus some 29,000 injuries, all because of 1.2 million collisions between vehicles and deer. Most incidents occur in the eastern U.S., where deer prosper without natural predators like wolves and mountain lions.
“That’s the region in the U.S. where deer-vehicle collisions are such a problem, and where it seems like an effective large carnivore reintroduction could make a really big difference.” says wildlife biologist Laura Prugh from University of Washington. She thinks it would help to reintroduce predators like mountain lions, also known as cougars, pumas or panthers, to parts of their historic range from which they’ve been driven out.
The researchers say that bringing the predators back to the eastern U.S. would mean 22 percent fewer collisions between cars and deer over three decades. Each year would see five fewer human deaths, 680 fewer injuries and a savings of some 550 million. Sophie L. Gilbert thinks there are great socioeconomic benefits of large predator restoration through reduced wildlife-vehicle collisions and she says, says, “Cougars have shown that they can coexist in short distance with people, with very few conflicts, in a lot of areas out west.”
Still, some folks might be understandably nervous about this kind of plan. After all, reintroducing predators doesn’t come without risks to pets and to livestock, and very occasionally to people.
“Our fear of large predators is so natural and intense that I don’t think it’s possible to just completely clear it with statistics... What I hope is that knowing that there actually can be some measurable benefits might make people a little more supportive and maybe balance that fear a little bit.” says Laura.
Indeed, the statistics show that cougars would prevent five times as many human deaths from deer-related accidents as they would cause by attacks. But it’ll be a tough sell: the press will cover cougar attacks, but a statistically prevented death does not make the news Nevertheless, “If people in the west can put up with having mountain lions around, I would hope that New Yorkers would be up for the challenge as well.”
1、What is closest in meaning to the underlined word “carnivore” in Paragraph 3?
A．A cat-like animal.
B．A dangerous animal.
C．A meat-eating animal.
D．A grass-eating animal.
2、Why do people want to bring back mountain lions?
A．To minimize the accidents caused by deer.
B．To maintain biodiversity and ecological balance.
C．To take up the challenge from people in the west.
D．To reduce people’s fear of this dangerous creature.
3、Why is it hard to persuade people to accept this measure?
A．Because the risks outweigh the benefits.
B．Because mountains lions like eating people.
C．Because the benefits are not as eye-catching as its risks.
D．Because mountain lions tend to get too close to people.
4、What is the best title for the text
A．Puma: a Tough Sell
B．A New Study on Puma
C．Deer Cause Huge Life Losses
D．Deer or Pumas: a Hard Choice

25．（10分）In addition to being a financial success, Disneyland was a personal satisfaction to his founder Walt Disney. It expressed his ideas of all that is true and good and beautiful in this world. He never was tired of visiting the park himself, of expanding it and improving it. Even today, Disneyland is kept spotless. Every night, each street and walkway is washed, and workers with knives get down on their hands and knees to scrape (刮，擦) up chewing gum that has been dropped by visitors. (Visitors to the park are called “guests” never “customers”) Every year, some 800,000 plants are replaced because Disney refused to put up signs asking his “guests” not to step on them. All of this has reduced the profits, but it adds immeasurably to the attraction of the park. Undoubtedly it helps explain why an amazing fifty percent of the people who enter Disneyland’s gates have been there before.
The park’s general design contributes to the visitor’s pleasure. There
