三、阅读
第一节 阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从四个选项中选出最佳选项（共15小题，每题2分）
（A）
They say that "travel is best teacher" and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming
dynasty
travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake (1587-1641) . His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake,not only
encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about
the country's land and geography.
Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family. Xu became interested in books about different places at an early
age and wanted to travel. When he was 18,however, Xu's father died and so,it seemed,did his travelling
dreams. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60-year-old mother as tradition
required.
But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son's love of travel and valuing the knowledge he
could get from such experiences,this modern-thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed
that Xu could travel for three months every year,when there was less farm work.
So at the age of twenty and with his mother's support, Xu set off for the first time,leaving behind not
only his mother but his new wife as well. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30
years. During this time,he travelled throughout the Ming kingdom,carefully studying the lands he passed
through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary. This diary,which once had over 500,
000 words,would eventually become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.
Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel,preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he
could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were
to hard-to-reach mountain areas,and through wild forests where few people lived. His willingness to face
hardships came at a cost however. Progress was slow and tiring and he was frequently sick,robbed and beaten
during his journeys.
Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey,a 4-year trip through the southwest of

One of the most interesting stories of ancient Greek fairy tale is Jason and the Golden Fleece(羊
毛）。 The story takes place before the time of the Trojan War.
Jason was the son of King Aeson of Iolcus and legal heir to the throne(王位）。 But before Jason was

born,his uncle Pelias took the throne and locked his father in a prison. To protect him,Jason's mother pretended
that her sonhad died at birth and secretly sent him to live with a centaur(半人半马怪物）。
When he grew up, Jason returned to Iolcus and wanted to get his throne back. Pelias didn't want to give
up the throne,so he asked Jason to finish a dangerous task and hoped that he would never come back. The
task was to bring back the Golden Fleece from the land of Colchis. The fleece was difficult to get because it
was protected by a frightening dragon.
Jason began the long journey with 50 of the best soldiers,including Her aches and Orpheus. They were
known as the Argonauts and their ship was called the Argo. The group faced a lot of challenges on their way
to Colchis.They had to fight against bad bird-women called Harpies and sail between two large rocks.
Finally, Jason reached Colchis,but King Aeetes only agreed to give him the Golden Fleece after he
finished an impossible task. He asked Jason to dig and turn over a field by using two bulls that breathed fire
and then sow(播种）the field with the dragon's teeth. The teeth were actually seeds from which a number of
armed men would grow. Luckily,with the help of King Aeetes' daughter, Madea, Jason succeeded in finishing
the task and got the Golden Fleece.
The journey back to Iolcus wasn't easy,either. Jason had to escape from the Sirens and
Talos.However,Jason and the Argonauts overcame the challenges and difficulties,and arrived home safely.
Finally,Jason got his throne and got married with Madea.

As an English man, I can speak three languages-English, German and French,so do you think the
British people are very good language learners? The fact is that they aren't.
Some statistics(数据）from the survey done by the European Commission(欧盟委员会）shows that
62% of the British people can only speak English. 38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak
two or more languages. Compared with the British people,56% of the people in other European countries
speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more languages. From this,you can see that the
British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners
in Europe.
And the survey also shows that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language. Many European
people can have a conversation in English. That's why many British people don't think it is necessary to learn a
foreign language.
In Britain,students are not required to learn a foreign language. That means learning a foreign language is
only an option at school. In UK schools,it is common that children start learning a foreign language at 11
and many of them give it up at 14. So why don't students continue learning foreign languages at school?
Because they think it is more difficult to get good marks in languages than in other subjects,such as science
and history.
To deal with this situation,the British government is looking for different ways to improve language
learning at school. One way is that children should start learning it at a much younger age. Another one is to
give schoolchildren more choices.
Changing the attitude of British people to learn foreign languages may be a hard task,but the
government decides to try!
（ ）11. Which country does the writer come from?
A. America. B. China C. Britain. D. Egypt
（ ）12. Which of the following about the British people is true?
A. They are good language learners.

第二节 阅读填空 阅读短文及选项，选出适合空白处的最佳选项。（每题1分，共5分）
Imagine you are studying abroad in London. Your parents have sent you a package(包裹）。 You go
to the post office and ask the postman when it will arrive. He tells you it will arrive in a fortnight(两个星
期）。You walk away shaking your head.1.__________. If you don't know what it means,you have probably
been studying American English,which sometimes uses different words from British English. In the US,instead

Besides simple differences like "colour" in London compared to "color"in New York,there are even
more different words. For example,in Britain you could be driving your car on a “dual carriageway(双行
道）”while in the US you would be driving down a“highway". 3____________. However,in Britain you
would ask for a "petrol station".If you got really confused and wanted to ask someone for help at a public
telephone,you would still have problems.4._____________. It certainly will get you even more confused.
5.__________. You can actually learn a lot from both two languages. It doesn't matter which English
you study,British or American,although people from each country will tell you their language is best. The
key is to pick one and stick with it when writing a paper or doing an exam.
A. In Britain, it's called a “phone box” while in America, it is called a “telephone booth".
B. But these differences make the language more exciting and help you continue to learn.
