一、阅读理解
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。
With over 2.4 million visitors every year， Cinque Terre is one of the
most-visited regions in Italy. Cinque Terre is truly special. The five candy-
colored fishing villages of Riomaggiore， Manorial， Cornelia，
Vernazza， and Montrose al Mare are built into cliffs over the clean and
brightly-shining Liguria Sea. Whether you’re visiting the region for a few days
or a few weeks， these are the experiences you should add to your trip
pleasure.
· Take a scenic hike.
It’s easy to visit each of the attractive villages on foot. The most popular
hike is the coastal path Sentara Azure. It links all five villages and offers
extremely beautiful scenery of the sea， architecture and vineyards. It takes
about six hours to go across， with short breaks， but most people are
going to stop in the villages for food and swimming.
· Eat seafood in a cone （锥形蛋筒卷）.
Dessert lovers might think that Italian ice-cream is the best thing to be
served in a cone but make room for seafood cones as well. Thanks to its
coastal location， Cinque Terre is full of seafood restaurants.
· Get on a boat.
If the weather cooperates， take the time to get out on the water. The
villages look very beautiful from a boat. The cheapest and easiest way is to
jump on the public ferry （渡船） from one of the villages to the next， but
these boats are often crowded. It’s far more relaxing to take a private
cruise， which departs （出发） from the docks in Riomaggiore，
Manorial， Vernazza， and Montrose al Mare.
· Take the train.
Cinque Terre’s train system is one of the most scenic in Europe. The
high-speed train runs through each of the five villages every 20 minutes or
so. And the whole line is directly on the coast， offering lovely views of the
Liguria Sea and rocky cliffs.
1. What is special about the five candy-colored fishing villages？

Katharine Mehta’s mother likes to joke that the first sentence her daughter
said was “I love dogs”. It’s not the fact， but it’s certainly true in spirit.
“When I was young， my grandmother told me about how she
sometimes found stray （走失的） dogs and cats， and kept them on her
farm as pets，” says Katharine. “That made me wonder what would
happen when animals didn’t have a home. I felt horrible thinking that they
might be hungry or could get hit by a car.”
But what could a little girl do？ The answer came during a trip to a park in
her New York City neighborhood two years ago， where she met volunteers
from Mighty Mutts， a local no-kill animal rescue organization. “I thought
maybe I could earn some money and give it to them，” she says.
Since Katharine had plenty of practice taking care of her own dog， she
decided to start a summer dog-walking service. She chose two friends and，
with their parents’ permission， the group put up homemade posters with
their phone numbers and a bargain price—50 cents an hour. Before long
they had 15 dogs in their care. “We walked two or three at a time with one
mother helping out，” she says. “By the end of that summer， we’d
collected $45.” That fall Katharine and her mother， Loma， came up with
another mini enterprise to raise money for Mighty Mutts—selling fresh-baked
shortbread to their neighbors.
The 11-year-old， who starts sixth grade this fall， has become a
nonstop campaigner. Her mother says， “When she sees somebody with a
dog， she starts a conversation and tells them to donate to Mighty Mutts.”
Katharine’s passion comes from the heart. “It makes me cry to think that
strays might be put to sleep when there’s a group that can find new homes
for them，” Katharine says. “But it makes me smile to know I can help.”4. Katharine’s love of dogs comes from ___ .
A. her mother’s jokes B. her seeing a dog killed by a car
C. her grandmother’s influence D. the influence of an organization
5. How did Katharine help the organization Mighty Mutts？
A. By giving shortbread to stray dogs.
B. By making speeches everywhere.
C. By walking stray dogs.
D. By collecting money.
6. The underlined part “be put to sleep” in the last paragraph means “ ___
”.
A. be supplied with a comfortable place for sleeping
B. be given drugs to die without pain
C. be made unconscious D. be made to sleep
7. What can be the best title for the text？
A. Katharine and Her Pets
B. A Little Girl Helps Strays
C. Pet Dogs Are Popular with Children
D. An Organization for Rescuing Stray Dogs
Personality is， to large extent， inherent （天生的）. A-type parents
usually bring about A-type offspring （子女）. But the environment must also
have a big effect， since if competition is important to the parents， it is
likely to become a major factor in the lives of their children.
One place where children soak up A-characteristics is school， which
is， by its very nature， a highly competitive institution. Too many schools
adopt the “win-at-all-costs” moral standard and measure their success by
sporting achievements. The current passion for making children compete
against their classmates or against the clock produces a two-layer system，
in which competitive A-types seem in some way better than their B-type
fellows. Being too keen （热切） to win can have dangerous
consequences： remember that Pheidippides， the first marathon runner，
dropped dead seconds after saying， “Rejoice， we conquer！”
By far the worst form of competition in school is the improper emphasis
on examinations. It is a rare school that allows pupils to concentrate on those
things they do well. The merits of competition by examinations are somewhatquestionable， but competition in the certain knowledge of failure is
positively harmful.
Obviously， it is neither practical nor desirable that all A-youngsters
change into ’B’s. The world needs types， and schools have an important
duty to try to fit a child’s personality to his possible future employment. It is
top management.
8. What affects the building of personality according to the text？
A. Inheritance， employment and examination.
B. Inheritance， competition and environment.
C. Environment， knowledge and examination.
D. Competition， employment and questions.
9. Why does the author give the example of Pheidippides？
A. To express his approval for the competition.
B. To show that he was too keen to win the game.
C. To show the result of the serious competition.
D. To express his attitude toward the examinations.
10. What is the author’s attitude toward examinations in schools？
A. Doubtful. B. Positive.
C. Negative. D. Uninterested.
11. What suggestion does the author make concerning the management
of schools？
A. A child’s personality should be considered in regard to his possible
future job.
B. Students should be made into competitive A-types.
C. Students must be changed into B characteristics.
D. Schools should give up examinations.
Most humans are able to recognize about 1 million different colors， but
some people can’t recognize this mainly because of something called
colorblindness. In rare cases， some people can’t see any colors at all.
There are three cone-shaped （锥形的） cells at the back of our eyes
that allow us to see colors. These cells absorb tight waves and send a
message to the brain， where the image is processed.
If something is wrong with these cone-shaped cells， this can result in
colorblindness.Thankfully， special color-correcting glasses have already been made to
help fix some types of colorblindness. Now， according to research
published in Optics Letters， scientists have provided another choice.
Sharon Karepov and Tal Ellenbogen， engineers from Tel Aviv
University in Israel， have found a way to apply this technology to contact
lenses （隐形眼镜）. This is good news for the millions of people worldwide
who suffer from colorblindness.
One of the most common types of colorblindness is red-green
colorblindness. People who have this specific type have difficulty telling the
colors red and green apart. “Problems with telling red and green apart stop
simple daily routines such as deciding whether a banana is ripe，” Karepov
explained.
Karepov also stressed the importance of applying this finding to create
special contact lenses instead of relying on color-correcting glasses.
“Glasses based on this correction concept are commercially available.
However， they are too big than contact lenses，” Karepov said. “Our
contact lenses create a customized， compact and durable （耐用的） way
to deal with these shortcomings.”
This new research is groundbreaking. In addition to offering those who
are colorblind another choice， it may lead to solutions for other visual （視
力的） damage.
12. What is the cause of colorblindness according to the text？
A. Images received can’t be processed by cone-shaped cells.
B. Eyes have just one type of cone-shaped cell.
C. Light waves can’t be absorbed by the brain.
D. Cone-shaped cells don’t work properly.
13. What can we infer from the text about people with colorblindness？
A. They are not interested in colorful stuff.
B. They may find daily tasks more difficult.
C. They can recognize few different colors.
D. They have fewer cone-shaped cells than normal people.
14. What does “this technology” refer to in Paragraph 5？
A. The processed image.
B. Three cone-shaped cells.
C. The red-green colorblindness type.
D. Special color-correcting glasses.15. Why is the research said to be groundbreaking？
A. It has found causes of visual damage.
B. It has led to a cure for colorblindness.
C. It could lead to solutions for other visual damage.
D. It has helped to develop glasses to fix visual damage.

One possible version：
Hello， dear friends. I feel very glad to introduce the Spring Festival to
you.
The Spring Festival falls on January 1 in Chinese Lunar year. It’s a time
for the family reunion. All the family members try to come back to get
together with their family. Usually there’ll be a big dinner on the New Year’s
Eve. Everybody will be happy to eat， drink and have a wonderful time
together. On New Year’s Day， people will get up early， visit and give their
best wishes to their relatives and friends， make phone calls or just send
short messages. Children are always the happiest because they can usually
get some money as a gift.
I do hope you can have an opportunity to celebrate the Spring Festival in
China.
That’s all. Thank you！
