第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
A
A sure way to destroy your chances of learning how to write skillfully is to believe that writing is a “natural gift” rather than a learned skill. People with such an attitude think that they are the only ones for whom writing is unbearably difficult. They feel that everyone else finds writing easy or at least tolerable. Such people often say, “I’m not any good at writing” or “English was not one of my good subjects.” They imply that they simply do not have a talent for writing while others do. The result of this attitude is that these people try to avoid writing, and when they do write, they don’t try their best. Their writing fails chiefly because they believe that they don’t have the “natural talent” needed to write. Unless their attitude changes, they probably will not learn how to write effectively.
2
A realistic attitude about writing must build on the idea that writing is a skill. It is a skill like driving, typing, or cooking; and, like any skill, it can be learned. If you have the determination to learn, you will develop your writing skills by practicing extensively.
Many people find it difficult to do the active thinking that clear writing demands. It is frustrating to discover how much of a challenge it is to transfer thoughts and feelings from one’s head onto a sheet of paper. But writing is not an automatic process: We will not get something for nothing — and we should not expect to. For almost everyone, skillful writing comes from hard work — from determination and sweat. The good news is that the skill of writing can be mastered, and if you are ready to work, you will learn what you need to know. 21．Why do some people think writing is difficult? A. They have no time to practice writing. B. They believe few people can write well. C. They have no good teachers to help them. D. They don’t think writing can be learned. 22．It can be inferred from Para. 1 that ______.
A. “natural gift” is the determining factor in one’s success B. hard work can result in success
C. a person without “natural gift” is sure to fail in writing D. attitude determines what one will be 23．What is the topic of the passage? A. Why writing is important. B. Whether writing is a born gift. C. Benefits of essay writing. D. How to improve writing skills.
B
In America, parents tend to encourage their children to develop their potential (潜能) to the fullest extent. Fathers and mothers frequently teach their children both ambition and the confidence necessary to work toward their goals. American parents are always active in concentrating on what their kids can do, not what they can’t. As a result, millions of American boys and girls grow up hoping to become actors and athletes, diplomats and doctors. Many of them even want to become president.
American parents often encourage their children to become involved in extra activities of all types at school, such as student government, sports and music. They believe that only through taking part in these activities can their children become mature young adults.
As we all know, schoolwork is important. But parents should realize that the social skills their children learn form natural conversations with each other are as important as schoolwork and the skills they will need in the future work. What’s more important in their work is that their children should have a sound knowledge of physics or the ability to communicate effectively.
As a rule, Chinese parents don’t educate their children about the same kind of ambition and confidence as Americans do, nor do they encourage the same level of participation in extra activities. Children are typically advised to study hard and pass exams. They have to spend a lot of time in doing much schoolwork every day. It is a great waste of time to do so.
Now more and more Chinese parents have recognized that they should pay attention to developing
3
the potential of their children. I hope that leaders in Chinese educational circles should take some measures to develop the potential of their children. I am very confident about it. 24．From the passage, we know the American parents pay much more attention to ________. A. the social skills than Chinese parents B. their children’s studying hard and well C. what their children want but they can’t D. extra activities than schoolwork
25．According to the passage, Chinese parents ________. A. know more than American parents to educate their children B. know ambition and confidence is necessary and important C. pay much more attention to their children’s fine future
D. don’t encourage their children to participate in extra activities 26．From the passage, we can infer _______. A. American children are brave and adventurous B. American children are more active in their studies
C. Chinese children have the ability to communicate effectively
D. Something should be done to develop the potential of the children in China 27．What’s the writer’s attitude towards Chinese education revolution? A. Neutral. B. Unconcerned. C. Positive. D. Negative.
C
Many kids don't drink enough water daily, according to a new study. The study's lead author, Erica Kenney, at first planned to look into the amount of sugary drinks kids were drinking in schools. However, during her research she found that many kids were simply not drinking enough water.
Kenney and her team examined data from a group of 4,000 children, aged 6 to19, between the years of 2009 and 2012. The data was taken from the National Health and Nutrition Survey, a study on the health of children in the United States conducted each year by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention..
While looking through the survey results, she noticed that more than half of the kids who took part in the study were dehydrated (脱水的). Of' that group, boys were 76% more likely than girls not to have enough water in their system. Nearly one quarter of the kids in the survey reported drinking no plain water at all.
“These findings highlight(突出) a possible health issue that wasn't given a lot of attention in the past,\" Kenney said in a statement. “Even though for most of these kids this is not an immediate and great health threat, this is an issue that could really be reducing quality of life and well-being for many children and youth.\"
The United States-National Agriculture Library says average kids need between 10 to 14 cups of water every day. This water can come from a mix of drinks and foods that contain high amounts of water, such as celery, melons or tomatoes. It is also recommended that fluids（液体）come from water instead of sugary drinks that are high in calories and can lead to weight problems. 28．What was Erica Kenney's purpose in doing the study? A. To study if kids drink enough water daily. B. To prove that sugary drinks are harmful to kids C. To show what kind of sugary drinks kids love.
4
D. To find out how many sugary drinks kids drink at school.
29．According to the findings of Erica Kenney's study, we know that ________. A. school kids cannot find drinkable water easily B. boys are more likely to get dehydrated than girls C. sugary drinks are very popular with school kids D. most kids know the importance of drinking plain water . 30．From the last paragraph we learn that kids________. A. should drink plain water to lose weight B. can try to take in water from sugary drinks . C. can eat celery, melons and tomatoes for water . D. should drink no more than 10 cups of water every day 31．The text mainly tells us that many kids_____________ A. don ' t like drinking water B. prefer sugary drinks to water C. are at risk of health problems D. don ' t drink enough water daily
D
Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice．Gifts are easy—they’re given after all．Choice can be hard．
I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago．I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2300 percent per year．I’d never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast，and the idea of building all online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old，and I’d been married for a year．I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn’t work since most start-ups don’t and I wasn’t sure what to expect．MacKenzie told me I should go for it．As a young boy，I’d been a garage inventor．I’d always wanted to be all inventor，and she wanted me to follow my passion． I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired．I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet．He took me on a long walk in Central Park，listened carefully to me，and finally said，“That sounds like a really good idea，but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t already have a good job．” That 1ogic made some sense to me，and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision．Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice，but finally，I decided I had to give it a shot．I didn’t think I’d regret trying and failing．And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.
After much consideration ，I took the less safe path to follow my passion ，and I’m proud of that choice．For all of us，in the end，we are our choice．
32．What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore? A．His dream of being an inventor． B．The support of his wife．
C．The greatly increasing usage of the Internet． D．Millions of exciting titles,
33．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence? A．The idea of not trying would keep coming to his mind and disturb him．
5
B．He would be very excited if he tried it out． C．Be would be always having a doubt if he didn’t try．
D．The decision to not try the online bookstore would terrify him． 34．We can know from the passage that_______．
A．the boss thought the idea was suitable for the author B．the author wanted someone else to try the idea C．the author might not regret if he failed the idea D．the author might go back to his boss if he failed
35．Which of the following should be the best title for the passage? A．Cleverness and Kindness B．The Starting of Amazon C．Following My Passion D．We Are What We Choose

One of the biggest dream killers is fear．Many people could have achieved amazing things if only they weren’t afraid．Just think about all the things you’ve wanted to go, but allowed fear to convince you that you weren’t talented, or good enough．Fear is not real．It is a product of thoughts you create．
Take action to realize your dream．

I'm very grateful to my English teacher. In the past, my biggest shortcoming used to being carelessness, that worried me a lot.

One possible version： Hi, Sharon,
This is LiHua. I learned from your post that you want to improve your Mandarin. I am willing to help you with your Mandarin. As a native Chinese speaker, I can speak Chinese clearly and fluently, and my teachers think highly of my spoken Chinese. I have taught some foreigners Mandarin, which makes me have much experience in teaching.
As for speaking Mandarin, it’s better to pay much attention to the pronunciation. Besides, you must take notice of the handwriting. And you also should keep it in mind that comparing notes with your classmates frequently is a good way to improve your study.
In return I hope you can help me with my spoken English. When I speak English, I often feel a little nervous. Can you give me some advice on how to overcome that? Looking forward to hearing from you. Li Hua
