该项涂黑。
A
Leslie Nielsen’s childhood was a difficult one, but he had one particular shining star in his
life — his uncle, who was a well-known actor. The admiration and respect his uncle earned
inspired Nielsen to make a career （职业）in acting. Even though he often felt he would be
discovered to be a no-talent, he moved forward, gaining a scholarship to the Neighborhood
Playhouse and making his first television appearance a few years later in 1948. However,
becoming a full-time, successful actor would still be an uphill battle for another eight years until
he landed a number of film roles that finally got him noticed.
But even then, what he had wasn’t quite what he wanted. Nielsen always felt he should be
doing comedy but his good looks and distinguished voice kept him busy in dramatic roles. It
wasn’t until1980 - 32 years into his career — that he landed the role it would seem he was made
for in Airplane! That movie led him into the second half of his career where his comedic presence
alone could make a movie a financial success even when movie reviewers would not rate it highly.
Did Nielsen then feel content in his career? Yes and no. He was thrilled to be doing the
comedy that he always felt he should do, but even during his last few years, he always had a sense
of curiosity, wondering what new role or challenge might be just around the corner. He never
stopped working, never retired.
Leslie Nielsen’s devotion to acting is wonderfully inspiring. He built a hugely successful
career with little more than plain old hard work and determination. He showed us that even a
single desire, never given up on, can make for a remarkable life.
21. Why did Nielsen want to be an actor?
A. He enjoyed watching movies. B. He was eager to earn money.
C. He wanted to be like his uncle. D. He felt he was good at acting.
22. What do we know about Nielsen in the second half of his career?
A. He directed some high quality movies. B. He avoided taking on new challenges.
C. He focused on playing dramatic roles. D. He became a successful comedy actor.
23. What does Nielsen’s career story tell us?
A. Art is long, life is short. B. He who laughs last laughs longest.
C. It’s never too late to learn. D. Where there’s a will there’s a way.
B
We live in a town with three beaches. There are two parks less than 10 minutes’ walk from
home where neighbourhood children gather to play. However, what my children want to do after
school is pick up a screen — any screen — and stare at it for hours. They are not alone. Today’s
children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens, split between
watching television and using the Internet.
In the past few years, an increasing number of people and organisations have begun coming
up with plans to counter this trend. A couple of years ago, film-maker David Bond realised that his
children, then aged five and three, were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say
"chocolate" into his three-year-old son’s ear without getting a response. He realised that something
needed to change, and, being a London media type, appointed himself "marketing director for
Nature". He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to
young people. The result was Project Wild Thing, a film which charts the birth of the Wild
Network a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.
"Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference," David Bond says. "There is a lot of
really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age
of seven, then being outdoors will be a habit for life." His own children have got into the habit of
playing outside now: "We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for
a while."
Summer is upon us. There is an amazing world out there, and it needs our children as much
as they need it. Let us get them out and let them play.
24. What is the problem with the author’s children?
A. They often annoy the neighbours.
B. They are tired of doing their homework.
C. They have no friends to play with.
D. They stay in front of screens for too long.
25. How did David Bond advocate his idea?
A. By making a documentary film.
B. By organizing outdoor activities.
C. By advertising in London media.
D. By creating a network of friends.
26. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "charts" in paragraph 2
A. records
B. predicts
C. delays
D. confirms
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Let Children Have Fun
B. Young Children Need More Free Time
C. Market Nature to Children D. David Bond: A Role Model for Children
C
If you ever get the impression that your dog can "tell" whether you look content or annoyed,
you may be onto something. Dogs may indeed be able to distinguish between happy and angry
human faces, according to a new study.
Researchers trained a group of 11 dogs to distinguish between images（图像）of the same
person making either a happy or an angry face. During the training stage, each dog was shown
only the upper half or the lower half of the person’s face. The researchers then tested the dogs’
ability to distinguish between human facial expressions by showing them the other half of the
person’s face or images totally different from the ones used in training. The researchers found that
the dogs were able to pick the angry or happy face by touching a picture of it with their noses
more often than one would expect by random chance.
The study showed the animals had figured out how to apply what they learned about human
faces during training to new faces in the testing stage. "We can rule out that the dogs simply
distinguish between the pictures based on a simple cue, such as the sight of teeth," said study
author Corsin Muller. "Instead, our results suggest that the successful dogs realized that a smiling
mouth means the same thing as smiling eyes, and the same rule applies to an angry mouth having
the same meaning as angry eyes.”
"With our study, we think we can now confidently conclude that at least some dogs can
distinguish human facial expressions," Muller told Live Science.
At this point, it is not clear why dogs seem to be equipped with the ability to recognize
different facial expressions in humans. "To us, the most likely explanation appears to be that the
basis lies in their living with humans, which gives them a lot of exposure to human facial
expressions," and this exposure has provided them with many chances to learn to distinguish
between them, Muller said.
28. The new study focused on whether dogs can_________.
A. distinguish shapes
B. make sense of human faces
C. feel happy or angry
D. communicate with each other
29. What can we learn about the study from paragraph 2?
A. Researchers tested the dogs in random order.
B. Diverse methods were adopted during training.
C. Pictures used in the two stages were different
D. The dogs were photographed before the test.
30. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. A suggestion for future studies.
B. A possible reason for the study findings.
C. A major limitation of the study
D. An explanation of the research method.

You’ve got mail…and it’s a postcard
Paulo Magalhaes, a 34-year-old Portuguese computer engineer, loves to open his mailbox and
find a brightly colored picture of Rome’s Colosseum. Or Africa’s Victoria Falls. Or China’s Great
Wall. 31
"I often send postcards to family and friends." he says to China Daily, "but you can imagine
that after a while, you never receive as many as you send, and you realize that not everyone is into
it 32 ” Seeking other like-minded souls, however, Paulo started looking in a somewhat unlikely
place: online. Many would say the Internet is a place for people who have given up on the
traditional postal service, but Paulo’s hunch（直觉）paid off.
Today his hobby has developed into the website postcrossing.com, a social network that has
grown to 575,217 registered users in 214 countries and regions since he started it 10 years ago.
33 Running the website has almost turned into a full-time job.
Language is certainly a barrier for many people. For postcrossing to work worldwide, a
common communication language is needed so that everyone can understand each other. As cool
as it may be to receive a postcard written in Chinese, the concept doesn’t work if one doesn’t
understand it. 34 So a common language is required and in postcrossing that’s English since it’s
widely spoken.
"Many people in China have limited exposure to English. 35 That said, we know of many
postcrossing members, including Chinese, who have actually improved their English skills
through their use of postcrossing," Paulo says.
A. And that’s totally fine.
B. That makes it extra hard to learn and practice it.
C. He likes to think of sending postcards as a family-friendly hobby.
D. Many love to make a connection with someone from across the world.
E. On August 5, the number of postcards exchanged by members topped 31 million.
F. Similarly, if you speak only Chinese, receiving a card in Swedish takes part of the fun away.
G. In short, he loves postcards, and the excitement of getting a hand-written note from someone
far away.

My mother is 92. Unless I have to be out of town, each week I take my mother to do her 36

It doesn’t impress like George Washington’s plantation on the Potomac, but Lincoln’s home
in downtown Springfield, Illinois, 56 （prove）irresistible to visitors since it opened to the
public. Beautifully restored（修复）to its 1860 appearance, the house was Abraham and Mary
Lincoln’s home for 17 years. In 1844 they bought it 57 $1,200 and some land from Charles
Dresser, who performed their 58 （marry）ceremony in 1842.
When the house was built, it was much 59 （small）than it is today. Mary’s niece wrote,
"The little home 60 （paint）white. It was sweet and fresh. Mary loved it. She was extremely
pretty, and her house was a reflection of 61 （she）, everything in good taste and in perfect order.
Although Mary loved flowers, 62 she nor her husband was known as a gardener. A long-
time neighbor said they never planted trees and only kept a garden for one year. Mary’s sister,
Frances Todd Wallace, often came over 63 （plant）flowers in the front yard.
64 Lincolns enlarged the house to a full two stories in 1856 to meet the needs of their
growing family. Three of the four Lincoln sons were born here. After Lincoln was elected
President of the US in 1861, they rented the house and 65 （sell）most of their furniture.

第二节 读后续写（满分25 分）
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事，
My dad, George, only had an eighth grade education. A quiet man, he didn’t understand my
world of school activities. From age 14, he worked. And his dad, Albert, took the money my dad
earned and used it to pay family expenses.
I didn’t really understand his world either： He was a livestock trucker, and I thought that I
would surpass（超过）anything he had accomplished by the time I walked across the stage at high
school graduation.
Summers in the mid-70s were spent at home shooting baskets, hitting a baseball, or throwing
a football, preparing for my future as a quarterback on a football team. In poor weather, I read
about sports or practiced my trombone（长号）.
The summer before my eighth grade I was one of a group of boys that a neighboring farmer
hired to work in his field. He explained our basic task, the tractor fired up and we were off, riding
down the field looking for weeds to spray with chemicals. After a short way, the farmer stopped
and pointed at a weed which we missed. Then we began again. This happened over and over, but
we soon learned to identify different grasses like cockleburs, lamb’s-quarters, foxtails, and the
king of weeds, the pretty purple thistle. It was tiring work, but I looked forward to the pay, even
though I wasn’t sure how much it would amount to.
At home, my dad said, "A job’s a big step to growing up. I’m glad you will be contributing to
the household." My dad’s words made me realize that my earnings might not be mine to do with
as I wished.
My labors lasted about two weeks, and the farmer said there might be more work, but I
wasn’t interested. I decided it was not fair that I had to contribute my money.
