第二节：完形填空（共20小题; 每小题1分，满分20分）

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从21～40各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。

I take a deep breath, 21 my fingers and step forward. Am I about to take the leap before bungee-jumping? 22 , I'm about to cross the road on my way to work.

There have been a few articles in the press over the last couple of months about "Chinese- style road crossing." The definition of this 23 is " a large number of people jaywalking(乱穿马路) together because they feel 24 in a big group."

Crossing the road is a simple task but sometimes it can be time-consuming and dangerous. It can be 25 to try and rush across the road whilst the red 26 is still lit; it's only a short distance, what's the 27 that can happen?

Many pedestrians don't seem to understand the 28 they are taking. If the light's on green then most drivers won't pay attention, 29 that no one will be crossing the road. If the driver does notice, it's possible that they may not have the 30 stopping distance to be able to stop 31 hitting the person.

Also, stepping out on to a road at the wrong 32 causes vehicles to slow down, meaning the cars behind them have to slow down, creating a 33 effect possibly even a long tailback (车辆长队).

34 , it can be difficult to stick to the rules when there is 35 pedestrian-friendly crossings and it seems that drivers don't follow the rules, either. Even if the green man is showing, cars are still allowed to turn right at many lights, often turning into large crowds of people 36 crossing the road. Many times these cars don't slow down, meaning pedestrians have to quickly move out of the way. It also means that people 37 cross the road when they should be allowed to ---maybe this is a motivating factor for so-called jaywalkers.

Driving a car doesn’t mean you have more rights. It’s a privilege and with that privilege comes a lot of 38 . It doesn’t seem completely 39 to punish pedestrians for taking matters into their own hands on a road system that’s designed against them. A rethink of the way pedestrian crossing work and driver education may 40 a stop to “Chinese- style road crossing.”

第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）

第一节：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，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。

A

In many romantic movies or TV shows one scene always appears. It involves a handsome man standing outside a young woman’s window, singing a love song to her to win her over. However, trying to woo a female with songs is not just something that humans do. A few animals sing love songs as well. Birds and elephants are romantic but the latest animal to serenade a female might surprise you---it is the humble mouse.

Scientists also found the part of the brain that controls the mice’s singing ability. In the experiment, they damaged the cells in this part of the mice’s brain and found that the animals couldn’t keep their songs in pitch or repeat them any more. This also happened when the mice became deaf. Jarvis said that this finding had changed his understanding of the way mice make sound. “In mice we find that the pathways that are at least modulating (调整) these vocalizations (发声法) are in the forebrain, in places where you actually find them in humans,” he said. “If we’re not wrong, these findings will be a big boost（促进）to scientists studying diseases like autism（自闭症）and anxiety disorders.”

41. What’s the possible meaning of the underlined word “serenade”?

A. To sing love songs. B. To challenge others. C. To hug others. D. To fight for love.

42. Which of the following is proven wrong by the latest discovery?

A. The frequency of mice’s voice is so high that it’s impossible for humans to hear it.

B. When male mice make special sounds to females they can’t control the sounds.

C. Birds and elephants are both romantic animals that are good at expressing love.

D. Animals like mice are smart even though they often make sounds randomly.

43. What do parrots, whales and dolphins have in common according to the passage?

A. They are all animals well-known for their smart appearances.

B. They are often chosen to carry out scientific experiments on.

C. They all have the ability to learn to adapt their voices.

D. Their numbers are quite limited in the natural world.

44. Romantic movies and TV shows are mentioned at the beginning of the passage to ________.

A. help readers better understand the article

B. stress the importance of the article

C. explain why this article is written

D. get readers interested in the topic

45. The above passage is written to ________.

A. introduce a new scientific discovery

B. persuade readers to accept a new discovery

C. describe an interesting experiment on mice

D. entertain readers with a funny fact about mice

B

Below is some interesting news from a newspaper:

Girl’s Crazy Historical Costumes

Stella Ehrhart, a US third-grader, dresses up as a different historical figure every day before school---yes, you heard right! The 8-year-old has been coming to class in a different persona (人物) daily since the second day of second grade, when she showed up as American author Laura Ingalls Wilder. Stella gets ideas for what to wear from the book 100 Most Important Women of the 20th Century. However, in the past she has also dressed up as fictional characters including Hermione Granger from Harry Potter. The eager student managed to get through the entire second grade without repeating herself, but now she is running out of ideas. The girl’s parents, who are both theater professionals, say they support their daughter’s “creativity”. Her mother told UK news website The Huffington Post, “She goes into her closet and just picks out what she wants each day.”

Learning Soars

How do you get a child’s early education off the ground? A head teacher in the Georgian city of Rustavi has found a unique way of creating an exciting learning environment. He has transformed a plane into a kindergarten. Gari Chapidze bought an old but functional Yakovlev Yak-42 from Georgian Airways and filled it with education equipment, games and toys, but left the cockpit (驾驶舱) untouched so it could be used as a play area. “The idea was to create a kindergarten where children go

with joy,” Chapidze, who runs the kindergarten, told AFP. “The children come in to the kindergarten with pleasure and cry when they have to go home. They are happy here,” he added.

Taxi Driver Gets Lucky in Las Vegas

Bright lights and big wins---this is what Las Vegas is known for, and even the taxi drivers here get lucky. Well, at least recently one did. Adam Woldemarim, 42, discovered $ 221,510 in the back of his van after a long day at work. The money was in a laptop case left between the seats of the Virgin Valley cab. What did Woldemarim do with the cash? He turned it in. The Ethiopian driver soon got a call from the case’s owner who, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, had “won big” and was on his way to the airport when he realized he had forgotten his winnings. Woldemarim was given a $ 2,000 reward. But it was reported that the driver’s fellow taxi drivers thought he should have got a lot more.

Eat Crickets (蟋蟀) and Worms at a Museum

The Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia is putting on a night for meat eaters who want to try some unusual foods. It is hosting a cocktail party on Oct 27 called Cuisine from the Collections. The food on the menu is inspired by the exhibited specimen (标本) at the museum. The event is for adults only. Let’s hope they don’t get a stomach bug from all the insects!
