一、阅读理解(本大题共10小题,共20.0分)
A
"Where there are Chinese speakers,there are his readers."
That sentence highlights the huge influence of Louis Cha
Leungyung,better known by his pen name Jin Yong,one of the
most famous Chinese novelists.Over 300 million copies of his
books have been sold in the Chinese-speaking world alone.
Cha died on Tuesday afternoon,at the age of 94,in Hong
Kong Sanatorium and Hospital,surrounded by family members,
according to sources close to him.This news recorded 1.27
billion views,slightly less than China's population,on Sina
Weibo.
In 1955,Cha published his first wuxia novel The Book and
the Sword in the then New Evening Post using the pen name Jin
Yong.He wrote 15 popular wuxia novels,his last,The Deer
and the Cauldron,was published in 1972.His novels have been
made into films ,TV and radio series,and deeply influenced the
cultural development of Chinese-speaking communities around
the world.
In May,1967,when there were violent conflicts(冲突)
between the local police and some striking workers in Hong Kong,
Cha wrote articles for newspaper all week calling for an end to
the violence and for society to unite.In a most important of
them,he wrote:"We come from all regions and now we are one
community.Hong Kong is home to us all."
In their condolences (吊唁)to his family,many people
called Cha a "hero" even though he considered himself a writer
of hero stories.
That's because of the humanistic (人道主义)concerns in
both his novels and his newspaper articles.In all his wuxia
stories,he makes his anti-war attitude clear.In The Legend of
the Condor Heroes,one of his most famous novels,he wrote
how Genghis Khan was moved by the hero's words and regretted
his killings before his death.
do we know about Cha's wuxia novels?______
A. More than 300 million copies of them have been sold all
over China.
B. The first of them was published with his real name.
C. They are the most popular novels in China.
D. They had a huge influence on Chinese speakers in the
world.
did people call Cha a "hero"?______
A. Because he wrote many stories about heroes.
B. Because he conveyed humanistic value in his works
C. Because he once stopped the violence in Hong Kong.
D. Because he was very successful in his career.
is the author's purpose in writing the text?______
A. To highlight Cha's influence on Hong Kong.
B. To introduce the Wuxia novels written by Cha.
C. To remember Cha as a great writer.
D. To spread the values held by Cha.
B
Pet lovers were very angry.Last May,a news article
appeared online that said three states had passed laws limiting
the number of pets each household could have to only two.The
news spread quickly,as many people shared the article on
Facebook and other social media sites.But pet owners had
nothing to worry about-----the article was made-up.
Many fake news articles are harmless,but others might
have played a role in real-world events.When it comes to online
news,even adults can have a hard time separating fact from
fiction.Education experts say kids should start learning how to
tell the difference early on.
Of course,there are plenty of reputable websites you can
visit to read the news.
Well-known news organizations such as The New York Times
and the Associated Press,have their own sites.But many other
online news sources aren't always trustworthy.And many
students have trouble spotting when articles aren't entirely true
or are trying to persuade them to think in a certain way.
Real news organizations can make mistakes,especially
when they have to report quickly on breaking news stories.But
they usually print corrections.However,why would someone
purposely publish an article that isn't true?The most common
reason is to make money.Websites are paid by the companies
that post ads on them.Companies want to place their ads on
sites that get a lot of visitors.So people create fake news articles
with attention-grabbing headlines to try to get users to click on
them.
Some of the biggest websites are trying to stop the flow of
fake news.Last November,Facebook and Google banned fake
news sites from advertising on their pages.Facebook is also
working with fact-checking organizations to identify and flag
fake articles.But experts say the best way to slow the spread of
fake news is for people to be more skeptical(怀疑的)of what
they read online.
's the main idea of the text?______
A. People create fake news stories to make money.
B. The growing trend of fake news raises concerns.
C. It is necessary to be able to recognize fake news.
D. Most people can easily pick out a fake news article.
does the underlined word "reputable" in Paragraph 3
mean?______
A. popular.
B. resourceful
C. official
D. reliable
is the best way to reduce the influence of fake news?
______
A. Commanding news organizations to print corrections
quickly.
B. Banning companies from placing advertisements on
websites.
C. Encouraging readers to be doubtful about what they read
online
D. Developing the system of fact-checking and flagging fake
news
C
I grew up in an age of delayed gratification(满意),when I
had to wait for almost everything.
The mail came once a day,and I recall the thrill of
expectation when expecting my issue of Mad magazine or some
cheap items I had ordered.
Classic movies were shown on television,and the only way
to learn about them was a week before from TV.And,of course,
one had to be home at the fixed time to watch them.And then
the banks did business on weekdays only.They opened at 9 and
closed at 4.Such was the world as recently as the
1970s.Everything seemed to operate on a strict clock.This was
the way things worked ,and it was all we knew.
And then,seemingly overnight,everything changed.It
suddenly seemed as if I never had
to be anywhere at a certain time,because we could get
everything whenever we want.But rather than being charmed
by what we have gained,I am gently disturbed by what was
lost.Having to wait for almost everything meant living a life at
a slower pace.When one is faced with fixed schedules,one has
no choice but to wait.In this way patience is perfected.The
changed times,on the other hand,have encouraged a constant
sense of urgency,which sounds unreasonable:If we can have
anything we want anytime we want it,shouldn't we be less
hurried?The answer is that an "on demand" lifestyle has created
a desire for speed.If I can have something this fast,why can't I
have it faster?
And on this sunny day,as a gentle form of fighting against
the demands of a hurried age,I went to the supermarket and
bought three fresh lemons.Carefully,and with no sense of
needing to be anywhere else or do anything else,I squeezed
(挤)them into a tall glass.Then I filled the glass with cold
water,ice,and a tea spoon of sugar.Fresh lemonade in hand,
I went outside,sat in my lawn chair and looked out over the river,
enjoying the drink.
describing the world before the 1970's,the writer
proved that people ______ .
A. preferred everything scheduled in advance
B. lived a life around the clock
C. enjoyed the delight of a slow paced life
D. had a strong sense of time in their life
writer's attitude towards the "on demand" lifestyle was
______ .
A. supportive
B. indifferent
C. tolerant
D. negative
did the writer think we have lost?______
A. The quality of patience
B. The sense of urgency
C. The preference for speed
D. The choice of lifestyle
did the writer buy fresh lemons from the
supermarket?______
A. To taste the delicious lemon juice.
B. To experience the pleasure of living slowly.
C. To show off her skills of making lemonade.
D. To satisfy her desire for a hurried life.
二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共10.0分)
In her essay Friends,Good Friends-and Such Good Friends,
Judith Viorst creates a number of categories(分类)for
Friendships.For her,some friendships are based on
convenience,some on current shared interests,some on past
shared history,some on accidental crossing-of-paths,and on
and on.(1)
I have just two categories of friends.(2) The short-term,
low-investment(投资)category is a large and changeable
group made up of people I've met since I moved to New Orleans
eighteen months ago.My New Orleans friends are mostly
classmates in my writing courses,people who see and comment
my writing courses and whose writing I see and comment.(3)
But they are also unstable(不稳定的)and possibly
disappointing.This is because we often know each other better
through reading each other's writing than we do through honest
time spent together.Such knowledge and familiarity,without
necessarily the investment created through conversation and
shared experience,can create stresses that only some
friendships can withstand.
The long-term,high-investment category is primarily made
up of people I left behind when I moved to New Orleans.(4)
They are friends who know me,love me,and who can be
counted on for anything,even though they live 1,500 miles
away.I know these friends from the way they wash dishes to the
way they choose a restaurant or drink their coffee.Every one of
them was once a person in my life,standing in the low-
investment category,
and then slowly revealing him-- or herself through conflict
as much as companionship.(5) And the work is hard.
A.And the only difference between the two is time and lots
of work.
B.Such unimportant mental activity mentioned by her is
beyond me.
C.The change from low-investment to high-investment
takes just that---Investment.
D.In many ways,they are friends whose concern is only
based on profit.
E.These low-investment friendships are delightfully strong
and serious at times.
F.This is a stable and efficient group,whose numbers can
be counted on one hand.G.Friends of the low-investment
category are always trustworthy.

Bees are important to the production of food we eat.Bees
make honey,but they also pollinate (授粉)large areas of crops,
such as straw berries,apples and onions.About a third of the
food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees.Unfortunately,
bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate.
In 2006,bee keepers started reporting about something
called Colony Collapse Disaster (CCD).The main sign of CCD
is the loss of adult honey bees from a hive(蜂巢).In October
of 2006,some beekeepers reported that they had lost between
30 and 90
percent of their hives.
There were many theories for the disappearance of the
bees.But the most convincing one has to do with pesticides (杀
虫剂)and lifestyles of bees today.Nowadays,beekeepers get
most of their income not from producing honey but from renting
bees to pollinate plants.This means that the life of the typical
bee now consists of travelling all around the country to pollinate
crops as the seasons change.That means a lot of traveling on
trucks,which is very stressful to bees.It is not unusual for up
to 30% of the hive to die during transport due to stress.In
addition,bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks
are not exposed to what they usually live on.Instead,they live
on a sweet liquid from corn,usually polluted with pesticides.
The exact reason for the disappearance of bees is not sure,
but losing bees is very costly to the economy.The bee
pollination services are worth over $8 billion a year.With no
bees,pollination will have to be done by hand,which would
have effects on the quality of food and increased food
priced.We hear a lot about big environmental disasters almost
every day.But one of the biggest may just be the less of that
tiny flying insect.

Bees are important to the production of food we eat.Bees
make honey,but they also pollinate (授粉)large areas of crops,
such as straw berries,apples and onions.About a third of the
food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees.Unfortunately,
bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate.
In 2006,bee keepers started reporting about something
called Colony Collapse Disaster (CCD).The main sign of CCD
is the loss of adult honey bees from a hive(蜂巢).In October
of 2006,some beekeepers reported that they had lost between
30 and 90
percent of their hives.
There were many theories for the disappearance of the
bees.But the most convincing one has to do with pesticides (杀
虫剂)and lifestyles of bees today.Nowadays,beekeepers get
most of their income not from producing honey but from renting
bees to pollinate plants.This means that the life of the typical
bee now consists of travelling all around the country to pollinate
crops as the seasons change.That means a lot of traveling on
trucks,which is very stressful to bees.It is not unusual for up
to 30% of the hive to die during transport due to stress.In
addition,bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks
are not exposed to what they usually live on.Instead,they live
on a sweet liquid from corn,usually polluted with pesticides.
The exact reason for the disappearance of bees is not sure,
but losing bees is very costly to the economy.The bee
pollination services are worth over $8 billion a year.With no
bees,pollination will have to be done by hand,which would
have effects on the quality of food and increased food
priced.We hear a lot about big environmental disasters almost
every day.But one of the biggest may just be the less of that
tiny flying insect.
