第二部分：阅读理解：（每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答

卷上将该项涂黑。

A

Try reading the following sentences as fast as you can. “She sells seashells by the seashore. The shells she sells are surely seashells. So if she sells shells on the seashore, I’m sure she sells seashore shells.”

Not very easy, was it? What you’ve just read is called a tongue twister (绕口令). It is an exercise made up of sounds that are hard to pronounce in order to help people pronounce words faster and more correctly. Try the next example.

“Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper. Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers? If Pete Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?”

Tongue twisters usually do not have much meaning. They are just designed to improve people’s ability (能力) to pronounce words. Although they may be very difficult, these exercises are very important to people who are trying to speak English correctly. This is because tongue twisters help people to tell the differences between similar sounds.

So if you wish to pronounce words more smoothly, you’d better try picking out some tongue twisters and practicing them.

36. Tongue twisters are helpful in improving ___________ skills.

A. listening B. writing C. pronunciation D. communication

37. The first tongue twister is hard because ___________.

A. it is very boring to read B. the sounds of “s” and “sh” are similar

C. we don’t know who “she” is D. it teaches us a lot of knowledge

38. The passage is probably taken from _________ in a school newspaper.

A. Story Time B. Study Garden

C. Latest News D. Lost and Found

Imagine a world where air pollution is no longer a problem. Clean air is all around us. People don't have to worry about polluting the air every time they drive their cars. They no longer need to face the problem of not having enough fuel either.

Although scientists have been trying for many years to develop a new kind of car that does not need gasoline (汽油), they have been unsuccessful. Recently, however, car engineers have succeeded in creating a new kind of car that runs on gasoline and electricity. This is the famous "hybrid car”. This car gets its name from the fact that it has a gasoline engine (引擎) and an electric motor inside. Hybrid cars do not pollute the environment as much as the cars that are commonly used today. They also cost drivers less money because they need less fuel than ordinary cars.

Hybrid cars are becoming widely popular in the United States. They are soon expected to become widely used around the world. If scientists and engineers continue to work on car development, perhaps the world with clean air that we imagined earlier just might become real in the future.

39. The underlined word "they” in Paragraph (段落) 2 means __________.

A. scientists B. drivers

C. engines D. cars

40. Hybrid cars __________.

A. increase air pollution B. run only on electricity

C. have no engines inside D. need less fuel than ordinary cars

41. The passage tells us that with the development of cars, we may __________.

A. like electric cars B. drive cars easily

C.live in the world with clean air D. understand how hybrid cars work

42. The best title for the passage would be ___________.

A.The Car of the Future B. The Meaning of Hybrid

C. The Use of Hybrid Cars D. The Invention of the Car

C

Once there was a forest where all the animals lived happily together. One day a family went to spend the day in the forest, and the son left his socks there. After the family left, a bear came by, found the socks, and decided to try them on. They fit so well, and he liked them so much that he wouldn't take them off.

All the animals talked about the bear’s new look. Soon, in that forest, there began appearing squirrels (松鼠) in shirts, rabbits in shoes, and even rats (鼠) wearing hats! The forest doctor shook his head, telling animals, "This can't be good. Animals don't need clothes! " But no one listened to him. They said he was just out of fashion.

However, it wasn't long before the first results of fashion-fever came. Several times the squirrel caught his shirt on trees, stopping him in mid-jump and sending him falling to the ground from a tree. The rat couldn't go into his hole without taking off his hat first. Even the bear, because of his socks, slipped (滑到) from the river rock and almost killed himself.

When the animals came to see the doctor, he gave them all the same advice, "Take off those clothes before one day they're going to kill you. " Those who listened to the doctor's advice stopped having accidents. And the animals realized that they didn't need clothes at all. Starting to wear them had been very dangerous, and they had only done it to make others admire(羡慕) them, and to get attention.
