14、 2 分，满分 30 分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项， 并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。ALast summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer（扫盲志愿者）. The training I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other people
15、 s lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didnt know which bus to take. When I to
16、ld her I would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she could not read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldnt always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she c
17、ould only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label （标识）, she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie s self-confidence, which encouraged her to continue in her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was
18、even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime
19、 stories. When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read, pride was written all over her face, and she began to see how her own hard work in learning to read paid off. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was
20、more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others.In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.31. What did the author do last summer?A. She worked in the supermarket.B. She helped someone to l
21、earn to read.C. She gave single mothers the help they needed.D. She went to a training program to help a literacy volunteer.32. Why didnt Marie go to the supermarket by bus at first?A. Because she liked to walk to the supermarket.B. Because she lived far away from the bus stop.C. Because she couldnt
22、 afford the bus ticket.D. Because she couldnt find the right bus.33. How did Marie use to find the goods she wanted in the supermarket?A. She knew where the goods were in the supermarket.B. She asked others to take her to the right place.C. She managed to find the goods by their looks.D. She remembe
23、red the names of the goods.34. Which of the following statements is true about Marie?A. Marie could do things she had not been able to do before.B. Marie was able to read stories with the help of her son.C. Marie decided to continue her studies in school.D. Marie paid for her own lessons.BMosquitoes
24、(蚊子) are very important in human history. The Guinness Book of Records says that mosquitoes have caused over 50 per cent of all human deaths since the Stone Age, excluding deaths from war and accidents!Mosquitoes are found all over the world. Female mosquitoes usually feed on the blood of humans and
25、 animals. Mosquitoes often carry dangerous disease called malaria, which usually occurs during hot, rainy season.If a mosquito feeds on the blood of a person with malaria, it becomes a carrier of the disease. It injects the disease into the next person it bites. So, for example, a tourist could be i
26、nfected with malaria during a visit to Indonesia. The same tourist might then visit Thailand where another mosquito may bite him. This mosquito could then bite another person and spread the disease.People have used insecticides to kill mosquitoes and their eggs for a long time, but many insects are
27、now resistant to these chemicals. This resistance is a big problem for doctors because it can stop the prevention and treatment of malaria. Also, several of the drugs which doctors use to prevent malaria do not work anymore because mosquitoes are resistant to them. Experts now believe that the world
28、 will never be free of malaria, so they tell people to protect themselves from the disease.If you think that you have malaria, see a doctor immediately. Without treatment, malaria kills over 25 percent of its victims in a maximum of two weeks. After treatment, mosquitoes that bite you will not pass
29、malaria on to other people. Although doctors can treat malaria victims, you must remember: prevention is better than cure.35. Which of the following is the correct order for the spreading of malaria?a. A mosquito bites the person with malaria.b. The same mosquito bites another person.c. A person is
30、infected with malaria.d. That person may be likely to be infected, too.A. a-b-c-dB. a-c-d-bC. c-a-b-dD. c-a-d-b36. We could draw the conclusion that the best way of fighting against the spread of malaria is .A. preventionB. treatmentC. seeing a doctor immediatelyD. blood-test37. Which of the followi
31、ng statements is true according to the passage?A. We will surely get rid of mosquitoes in the near future.B. Its believed that malaria will accompany human beings forever.C. Insecticides are always effective in killing mosquitoes.D. A mosquito can not pass the disease on to another person after it b
32、ites one with malaria.CThe third-generation hybrid rice which was developed by Yuan Longping, the “father of hybrid rice”, and his team underwent its first public yield（产量）monitoring from Monday to Tuesday and achieved high output. The final yield of the tested variety, G3-1S/P19, came to 1046.3 kg
33、per mu (about 667 square meters), based on two plots of land in Qingzhu Village under the city of Hengyang in central Chinas Hunan Province.“Some previous high-yielding hybrid rice varieties in China took 160 to even 180 days from sowing to harvesting, while the figure was shortened to around 125 da
34、ys for the new variety. This is one of the most important characteristics of the third-generation hybrid rice that can reduce the use of pesticides and fertilizers, thus reducing cost and improving production efficiency.” said Qian Qian, the deputy director of the China National Rice Research Instit
35、ute.Unlike the previous two generations that required a large amount of water and fertilizers as well as demanding growing conditions and technological support, the third-generation hybrid rice is easier to be cultivated（种植）by ordinary farmers. So the soil, altitude and climate of the test site were
36、 not “ideal conditions” carefully selected beforehand but were close to the paddies of ordinary farmers.Nowadays, Chinas average yield of rice is about 500 kg per mu. Ordinary farmers can produce 600 kg to 700 kg of rice per mu by growing some excellent second-generation hybrid rice varieties. Howev
37、er, under the same planting conditions and environment, the yield of the third-generation hybrid rice could reach 800 kg per mu. China now feeds around 20 percent of the worlds population with less than 9 percent of the worlds arable（可耕种的）land.At present, Yuans team has nine third-generation hybrid
38、rice combinationsunder trial, which are expected to achieve commercial seed production in thefollowing three to four years and hope to apply the technology into the research of sea rice. The third-generation hybrid rice has the comprehensive strength to promote a greener and more sustainable develop
39、ment of Chinas rice production with higher quality and yield.38. What feature of the new hybrid rice does Qian Qian mainly talk about?A. It saves a lot more water.B. It achieves a higher yield.C.

They seldom need a referee（裁判） and rarely trouble to keep scores. They dont care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn
43、t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of whic
44、h side shall start, is almost a game in itself.Grown-ups can hardly find childrens games exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to
45、 think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball
46、actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control.
