Directions:There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D.Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage One
Debate is a valuable way to practise communicating. It can also bring long-lasting rewards,especially for people working with Western businesses. The main activity of debate is presenting one' s opinion and suppmting it with evidence,such as statistics or facts. It is a way of persuasive communication.
Charles Lebeau helped create the \"Discover Debate\" method. He says debate is important to understanding how people communicate in Western business. Successful debaters learn how to give their opinkm,reasans and support. \"What we are trying to do is to develop a kind of thinking or approach to discussion and how to interact (交流) with someone else' s opinion, rather than brush their opinion aside. \"
Debate skills are also important in selling a product, he says. In that situation, the judges are the customem. \"So on Monday, for example, one company may come in and present their case to the customer and they\" ll make as strong a ease as they can. On Tuesday, the next day, another company will come in and present their ease to the customer. Usually the party that can present the strongest case
wins”
Debate also strengthens critical thinking. In other words, it helps students learn to ask questionsand try to understand someone' s reasons and evidence.lift-. Lebeau points out that successful debaters learn to listen carefully to what other people are saying. Then, they look for the weak points in someone else' s opinion or argument. He says debate teaches a systematic way of questioning.
Successful debaters also learn to think from someone else' s point of view. Mr. Lebeau says debate can help broaden the mind. \"There' s an expression in English : don' t criticize another person before you have walked in their shoes. I think the wonderful thing about debate is, it puts us in another person's shoes. \" 36. According to Paragraph 1 ,what is the purpose of debate? A. To bring long-lasting material rewards.
B. To present evidence such as statistics and facts. C. To respond to questions in a systematic way. D. To persuade people to accept your opinions. 【答案】D
【考情点拨】推理判断题。
【应试指导】由第一段最后一句“It is a way If persuasive coInmtmieation．”可知，辩论是一种说服性的沟通方式，所以辩论的目的是为了说服他人接受自己的观点．故选D。 37. Why is debate important?
A. It helps people understand others better. B. It allows people to present their opinions.
C. It develops one' s thinking and communicative competence. D. It gives one the opportunity to brush others' opinion aside. 【答案】C
【考情点拨】推理判断题。
【应试指导】由第二段最后一句可知,Charles Lebeau等人创造uDiscover Debate”method的用意是开发一种思维 方式或与别人交流的方法，所以，辩论之所以重要是因为它可以提升一个人的思维能力和交流能力，故选C。 38. What does the underlined word \"case\" in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Container. B. Evidence. C. Problem. D. Product. 【答案】A
【考情点拨】词义理解题。
【应试指导】第三段第一句指出“辩论对于销售产品来说也十分重要”，所以接下来举的例子应与推销产品相 关，由此可推测，case 一词指的是某种具体产品，即“箱子”，故选A。
39. What can debaters benefit from \"walking in another person' s shoes\"?
A. Becoming more broad-minded. B. Developing critical thinking. C. Finding others' weak points. D. Trying out others' methods. 【答案】A
【考情点拨】推理判断题。
【应试指导】根据文章最后一段的内容可知,a walking in another person's shoes”指站在他人的角度思考问题， 而Lebeau认为辩论有利于拓宽人的胸襟，所以站在他人的角度思考问题可以变得心胸开阔，容纳不同的意见， 故选A。
Passage Two
We all love a hero, and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all. You will often find them going above and beyond duty to save someone, risking--and at times losing--their lives in the process. Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups, or from the traditional Herding Group. These types include the Bloodhound, Labrador Retriever, Newfoundland, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Belgian Malinois--all of which are chosen for search-and-rescue duty because of their amazing physical strength, loyalty, and their tendency for mental stability.
These types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell--to better locate lost individuals—and are often able to access hard-to-reach areas. As highly trained animals, they serve in many different fields, including specialist search, snow slide rescue, dead body location, and tracking.
To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a search-and-rescue worker, a dog must display certain qualities. In addition to intelligence and strength, the dog must be swift, confident, easily trainable, adaptable, and have a high level of stamina (耐力) and endurance. A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during \"down\" time is also required of search-and-rescue dogs.
A rescue dog goes through many, many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty. Training is not for the faint-hearted. Certification training can take from two to three years, working three to four hours a day, three to six days a week, often in group,team-oriented sessions.
Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training. Rescue training, for instance, includes \"air scenting\"--where dogs are trained to smell the air for the victim' s scent (气味) and then follow the scent to the person. This ability is crucial to finding victims trapped under collapsed buildings and snow slide.
40. Rescue dogs are chosen probably because__
A. they are loyal B. they are brave
C. they have amazing appearances D. they have good eyesight 【答案】A
【考情点拨】事物细节题。
【应试指导】由第二段最后一句“all of which are chosen for...loyalty, and their tendency for mental stability 可知， 挑选搜救犬的条件是强壮的体格、忠诚、心理稳定程度，故选A。 41. What does \"faint-hearted\" in Paragraph 5 mean??
A. Courageous. B. Cowardly.
C. Energetic. D. Slow. 【答案】B
【考情点拨】词义理解题。
【应试指导】第五段主要描述搜救犬需要经过长期的艰苦训练，所以这种训练应该不适合懦弱胆小者，只有顽强的搜救犬才能坚持下来。由此推测。faint—hearted应指“懦弱的”，故选B。
42. Which ability is most important for dogs to rescue people trapped in snow? A. Sharp hearing. B. Swift movement.
C. Extraordinary smelling. D. A strong memory. 【答案】C
【考情点拨】推理判断题。
【应试指导】由第六段最后两句可知，搜救训练的一项内容是让搜救犬去嗅空气中受害者的气味，这项能力对发现被困在坍塌建筑物和雪崩中的受害者至关重要。由此可推断，在搜救被困在雪里的受害者时，搜救犬极其敏锐的嗅觉是最重要的，故选C。
43. What is the passage mainly about? A. Selection process of rescue dogs. B. Qualities and training of rescue dogs. C. Risks rescue dogs are faced with. D. Types of tasks rescue dogs can perform. 【答案】B
【考情点拨】主旨大意题。
【应试指导】文章第二、三、四段主要讲搜救犬需要具备的能力和条件，第五、六段讲搜救犬的训练．所以这篇文章的主题是搜救犬的本领和训练，故选B。
Passage Three
Eating an apple a day doesn' t keep the doctor away, but it does reduce the amount of trips you make to
the drug store per year. That ' s according to a new study that investigates whether there' s any truth in the old saying.
A team of researchers led by Dr Matthew Davis, of the University of Michigan School of Nursing,asked 8,399 participants to answer survey questions about diet and health. A total of 753 were apple eaters, consuming at least 149g of raw apple per day. The remaining 7,646 were classed as non-apple eaters. When both groups answered questions on trips to the doctor and trips to the drug store per year,the apple eaters were found to be 27% less likely to visit the druggist for drugs.
Trips to the doctor were not significantly affected by apple consumption, though. \"Evidence does not support that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. However, the small number of US adults who eat an apple a day does appear to use fewer prescription medications,\" the study concludes.
Apple eaters were also found to be less likely to smoke and be more likely to have a higher educational attainment than non-apple eaters. While apples do not compete with oranges, they docontain some immune (免疫的) system-increasing vitamin C, which may be why apple-eaters visit the druggist less. With over 8mg of vitamin C per medium-sized fruit, an apple can provide roughly 14% your daily recommended intake.
Previous studies have also linked apple consumption to a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes (二型糖尿病) ,improved lung function and a lower risk of colon (结肠) cancer.
44. How many non-apple eaters answered survey questions in the research? A. 149. B. 7,646 C. 753 D. 8,399. 【答案】B
【考情点拨】事实细节题。
【应试指导】由第二段前三句可知，总共有8399人回答了问卷调查的问题；总共有753名吃苹果的人，他们每天至少消耗149克生苹果；剩下的7646人．被归类为不吃苹果的人，故选B。 45. What is the conclusion of the study?
A. Apple consumption has greatly reduced US adults' trips to the doctor. B. An apple a day does keep the doctor away. C. Apples are far more nutritious than oranges.
D. A small number of US adult apple eaters tend to take less medicine. 【答案】D
【考情点拔】事实细节题。
【应试指导】由第三段最后一句可知，研究结果表明，每天吃一个苹果的少数美国人似乎确实服用较少的处方药，故选D。
46. What can we learn from the passage? A. Apples are better than oranges.
B. Apples do have some vitamin C to increase the immune system. C. Apples can help cure certain diseases.
D. Apples can provide people with sufficient daily intake of energy. 【答案】B
【考情点拨】实事细节题。
【应试指导】由第四段第二句话中的\" they do contain some immune system- increasing vitamin C”可知,苹果中确实含有能增强免疫系統的生素C,故迭B。
47. What can be described as the writing style of this passage? A. Objective. B. Creative. C．Subjective D．Persuasive 【答案】A
【考情点拨】写作风格题。
【应试指导】文章用调查数据和科学观点来展开论述，所以文章的写作风格是客观的，故选A。
Passage Four
Sometimes I scratch my head when I read about the government' s efforts to improve schools:new
standards and tests to be applied, strict teacher evaluations, and threats of school closures and job losses. They frighten the school employees, not to mention the students. Instead of making people unable to solve problems or try new ideas--which is what fear does to us--research on school reform strongly suggests that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a more humane approach. In their study on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago public schools, Bryk and Schneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults was the key to successful school improvement and that trust was at the heart of those relationships.
Trust in schools comes down to one thing:psychological safety or safety to speak one's mind,to discuss with openness and honesty what is and isn' t working,to make collective decisions.
Yet this kind of safety doesn' t come easily to schools. According to Bryk and Schneider, the adults in school rely on each other to do their jobs correctly and with integrity （正直). The challeage is that our expectations are very diverse based on our unique backgrounds.
At one school where I taught, each teacher had different expectations about how much effort teachers should put into their work--a big difference between the teachers who left af~the last bell and those who worked into the evening. And when expectations are uncoasci or unspoken, it becomes impossible for others to live up to them.
We also make assumptions about the intentions behind a person' s behavior. As we all Imam,assumptions are often wrong. For example, parents and teachers my think the principal taml particular decision based on his career advancement rather than hat\" s best for the studeata. don't feel psychologically safe to question our assumptions and e~aecmtiatm, trust itiea am the window and our relationships suffer.
48. According to Paragraph 1,why does the author scratch his head? A. Because he doesn' t know what to do once schools are closed. B. Because he is not sure about the practicability of those new tests.
C. Because he is concerned that many teachers will lose their jobs. D. Because he is not in favor of the government' s reform efforts. 【答案】D
【考情点拨】推理判断
【应试指导】由第一段第二、三句可知,作者认为政府针对学校的改革措施成胁到了学校的雇员和学生,并且 这些改革使人们失去了解决问題或尝试新想法的能力,所以,作者挠头是因为他不费成政府的改革措施,故选D。 49. According to Bryk and Schneider, what was most important for successful school improvemt? A. New standards and tests in schools. B. Positive social relationships.
C. Strict teacher and student evaluations. D. Assistance of the government. 【答案】B
【考情点拨】事实细节题
【应试指导】由第一段最后一句中的“ enabling positive social relationships.. was the key to successful school imrovement”可知,Bryk和 Schneider认为积极的社会关系对成功的学校改革来说是最重要的,故选B。 50. What is meant by trust in school? A. Freedom to express one' s views, B. Extra effort teachers put into their work. C. Independence of the teachers in schools. D. Unconscious and unspoken expectations. 【答案】A
【考情点接】推理判断题。
【应试指导】由第二段可知，学校中的信任其实就是能够说出心中所想，能够公开、诚实地讨论哪些事行得通、哪些事行不通，并且能够做集体决定。所以，学校中的信任就是自由地表达观点，故选A。
51. What does the author say about the assumptions made about the intentions behind a person's behavior?
A. They should be trusted. B. They are often bold.
C. They are often incorrect. D. They should be encouraged. 【答案】C
【考情点拨】事实细节题。
【应试指导】由第五段前两句可知，我们总是猜测一个人的行为背后的意图，但众所周知，猜测往往是错误的，故选C。
Passage Five
An interesting project called Blue Zones is recording the lifestyle secrets of the communities with the highest, hest concentrations of centenarians in the world.
The people in the five regions in Europe, Latin America,Asia and the US that live to be 100 have a lot going for them. Genes probably play a small role, but these folks also have strong social ties ,tightly-knit families and lots of opportunities to exercise.
As we were examining the dietary secrets of the Blue Zones, as described in author Dan Buettner\" s latest book, The Blue Zones Solution, we were struck by how essential tea drinking is in these regions. In fact, Buettner' s Blue Zones Beverage Rule--a kind of guideline summarized from his 15 or so years of studying these places--is:\" Drink coffee for breakfast, tea in the afternoon, wine at 5 p. tm\"
Science has plenty to say about the healthful virtues of green tea. Researchers are most enthusi- astic almt the components in green tea, as well as foods like cocoa. Why might they help so many Okina~vans in Japan break 1007 Some components in green tea can lower the risk of stroke,heart disease attd several cancers. One review study also found that drinking green tea can slightly improve metabolism (新陈代谢).
If you find yourself on the island of Ikaria, the Greek Blue Zone in the middle of the Aegean, you won't be offered any tea made with tea leaves. Instead, Ikarians typically make their daily cup of tea with just one fresh herb that they have picked themselves that day--either rosemary, wild sage,oregano,nmrjotmn,mint or dandelion,all plants that may have anti-inflammatory (消炎的) properties,
which may help lower blood pressure. This could explain Ikaria' s very low dementia (痴呆) rate,since high blood pressure is a risk factor for the disease.
52. What does the underlined word \"centenarians\" in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. People who have secret lifestyles. B. People who enjoy physical exercise.
C. People who are one hundred years old or older.
D. People who carry the gene for being slim. 【答案】C
【考情点拨】词义理解题。

(2)评分时，先根据文章的内容和语言确定其所属档次，然后根据该档次的具体要求给分。 (3)纳入第五档次的作文应取得至少两位阅卷教师的认可。 (4)字数不足l00或超出120的，酌情扣1分～2分。
(5)拼写与标点符号的准确性视其对表达的影响程度予以评分。英、美式拼写均可。 (6)如书写较差，以至影响表达，将分数降低一个档次。 2．评分标准：
第五档 (21分~25 分) 很好地完成了试题规定的任务。 第四档 (16分~20 分) 较好地完成了试题规定的任务。 第三档 (11分〜15分) 基本完成了试题规定的任务。 未能按要求完成试题规定的任务。 第二档 主题不明确；内容不完整，层次不清;缺少连贯性;语句欠通顺;有较多的语言错误，影响了(6芬~ 10分) 内容表达。 第一档 (1分~5分) 0分
