第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，35分）
第一节 （共10小题；每小题2分，共20分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The Power of Sound
The music of world-famous guitarist Gabriel Ayala can make you cheer or cry depending on the chords(弦). As the winner of numerous musical honors, he said, “I love the power of sound.” He was also recently named Native American Music Awards Artist of the Year and he played at the inauguration of President Barack Obama.
“My concerts are a journey for both my audiences and myself,” he says. “Feelings and emotions are all over the board and I am the tool trying to convey those feelings, trying to paint a visual picture through chord changes. Sound conveys power, whether it’s a well-performed craze or the wind blowing through the trees. Music isn’t just a pretty melody, also it’s a visual performance that captures moments in life and puts them to music.”
Ayala also shares his gift with kids. As a teacher with a master’s degree, he serves as an advocate(提倡者) for youth education by being a role model. He practices the philosophy of honoring elders, respecting women, and loving children. He delivers a message to youth that they can become whatever they dream of.
The music man has recently launched a non-profit foundation to work more closely with youngsters. “I’ve been blessed in both my career and life and feel I need to give back to pay my respect and thanks for the gift I have owned and I can do that through music,” he says.
One of his experiences in giving back involved a high school class of some 200, which included a special needs group. “I used my guitar as a tool to capture their interest and once I began playing, the whole behaviors of the class changed in a positive way. This was especially so for one of the disabled students whose hands would not allow him to even hold my costly guitar. When I put the valuable guitar in his lap and he started beating the heck out of it as hard as he could, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. That’s the real reason I play music, not for fame or fortune, but because music has the power to truly heal. The look on that boy’s face was priceless.”
16. In Ayala’s eyes, music is a ______.
A. role model D. visual performance
B. natural gift C. famous painting
17. Ayala plays music to ______.
A. earn money B. be a role model
C. become famous D. encourage the youth
18. From the passage, we can learn that Ayala ______.
A. plays various instruments skillfully
B. sends valuable guitars to disabled students
C. devotes himself to delivering the power of music
D. calls on children to walk into schools to learn music
B
Airbnb for Pets
The majority of Americans see their pets as family members, surveys show. Those with dogs are more likely to call themselves pet “parents” than pet “owners”. In big cities such as San Francisco and Seattle, (owned) dogs outnumber children.
Overall, annual spending on pet food and products in America has risen by around 40% over the past ten years. Now a number of startups have sniffed a fresh opportunity. Much as Airbnb has offered travelers an alternative(替换物) to staying in a hotel, two firms, Rover and DogVacay, want to give pet owners an alternative to kennels(养狗场) when away from home.
One selling point of this model is less expense. Customers search for a nearby sitter and pay for their dog to stay in that person’s home. The cost is around $30 a night, with the majority of that going to the sitter and around a fifth to the company—much less than you would spend to check your dog into a kennel.
The other big selling-point is that pets generally receive better treatment. There are ways, apparently, to vet (资格审查) dog hosts to find the real pet lovers: only around 15% of those who apply to serve as pet sitters are approved. Besides, Rover has launched a feature that enables customers to see how far their dog has been walked via the GPS in the host’s phone. Like Airbnb, both DogVacay and Rover insure stays against accidents.
Another advantage is that customers often use dog-sitting services many times a year, and they tend to be loyal. That has helped DogVacay and Rover attract a lot of venture-capital money.
But firms that connect pets with hosts will face great competition as they try to go global. And unlike Airbnb, which pulls in customers thanks to its presence in lots of markets that people want to travel to, the network effect for services like DogVacay is local. Despite having foreseen the trend early, such firms may never achieve the same scale as an Airbnb. But then no one ever said it was easy to be top dog.
19. Rover and DogVacay are firms that______.
A. sell pet food and products
B. offer hotels to pet owners
C. provide pet-sitting services
D. help pet owners start new firms
20. One advantage of the Rover and DogVacay model is that_______.
pets are loyal to the pet sitters
anyone can be accepted as a pet sitter
customers can walk their dogs with phones
the firms can insure pets’ safety during the stays
21. We can learn from the last paragraph that Rover and DogVacay ______.
are facing fierce competition when going global
are as successful as Airbnb internationally
have connected pets with hosts worldwide
have become top dog without difficulty
C
In the world of today, media have become as necessary as food and clothing. They have played a significant role in strengthening society. Media are considered as "mirror" of the modern society. In fact, it is the media that shape our lives. The role of media has become one way of trading and marketing of products and prejudices(偏见). Media claimed to be governed by righteousness and fairness, but greed has poisoned its virtues.
Society is influenced by media in so many ways. It is the media for the masses that help them get information about a lot of things and also form opinions and make judgments regarding various issues. It is the media that keep people informed about what is happening around them and the world. Everyone can draw something from them. Media have had a bad effect on a generation, mainly because youth are strongly influenced by media. Teenagers and children wish to follow the people who get recognized and do what they do to get noticed. Sometimes, they focus on the bad side of the media and try to be a part of it.
Media affect people's ideas. Too much involvement of media in everything is a matter of concern. Media can be considered as "watch dog" of political democracy (民主). Through the ages, the emphasis of media on news has disappeared. Media, these days, try to eye the news which could help them to sell the information gathered worldwide, so that they could pave a way of success and fame of their respective(各自的) channels. For the sake of publicity and selling, important figures’ lifestyles are usually targeted. Unimportant and irrelevant news is given first attention and due to a reason or another, it gets onto the minds of the viewers. And in this way, many a time, important political, economical and sociological news gets neglected and gradually loses its importance.
No doubt, media have played a significant role in making the world a global village and reducing the communication gaps amongst people living in the far areas, but unfortunately, media these days mainly eye the news which is hot and good at selling. The goal is to gain the television rating points.
I believe, if media identify their responsibilities and work sincerely and honestly, then they can serve as a great force in building the nation.
22. What is the best title of the passage?
A. The Development of Media. B. The Role of Media in Today’s World.
C. The Importance of Media Today. D. The Influence of Media on the Youth.
23. According to Paragraph 2, _______.
A. media influence society greatly
B. media benefit most of the people
C. people inform media of what’s happening
D. teenagers want to get recognized via media
24. We can learn from the passage that media nowadays ____________.
A. try to work as “watch dog” of political democracy
B. fail to target the lifestyles of important figures
C. help to sell and publicize the important news
D. tend to focus on their fame and success
25. The author organizes the passage by______________.
A. giving definition B. providing examples
C. making contrast D. presenting data
第二节 （共10小题; 每小题1.5分, 共15分）
Read the following passage and then answer the questions.
The Bold Bus Driver
On a warm morning last summer, California bus driver Tim Watson was about halfway through his daily 15-mile express route from Milpitas to Fremont when an alert from the Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) flashed across his dashboard screen. A child had been kidnapped （绑架）in Milpitas, the message read, and it asked that drivers be on the lookout for the boy.
The victim was described as a three-year-old child in plaid（方格图案的）shorts and red shoes; the suspect, a man in his 20s wearing jeans and a black hooded sweatshirt. Tim felt his stomach drop when he realized that a man with a kid on his hip had boarded the bus just ten minutes earlier. Tim clearly remembered the boy’s plaid shorts.
Tim glanced in one of his mirrors and saw the pair sitting in the last seat at the back of the nearly empty bus. Before alerting authorities, he wanted to confirm their identities. Pulling into a McDonald’s parking lot, he announced that he needed to look for a lost bag. He moved slowly down the aisle, peering under each seat, until he approached the last row. As he bent down, Tim avoided eye contact with the man. “I saw the boy’s red shoes,” says Tim. “But I knew I had to keep cool.”
Back behind the wheel, Tim apologized for the delay and pulled the bus onto the highway. Not wanting to arouse suspicion, he waited a few minutes, then radioed the bus dispatcher in his low voice that he had the kidnapping suspect on his bus.
The dispatcher directed Tim to continue to his final stop at the Fremont BART subway station, where police officers would be waiting. “As I’m driving, all I can think about is what I’m going to do if I get there before the police,” he says. So he slowed down, rolling along at 35mph in a 65mph zone.
As Tim was about to make the last turn into the BART parking lot, he saw from the side mirrors police car pull up behind the bus silently but with red lights flashing. “The bus doesn’t have a back window, so the guy had no idea they were there,” says Tim.
He stopped the bus and opened the doors. In his right side mirror, Tim could see four cops waiting for the suspect. As the man got off the bus with the boy, a police officer grabbed the child out of his arms, threw the suspect to the ground, and hand-cuffed him behind his back.
The police officers told Tim that about an hour earlier, the man, Alfonso David Edington, 23, had snatched the boy from the Milpitas library after he wandered away from his mother.
Tim thought about his own sons. He went back to check that the boy was OK. Tim found him sitting calmly in the front seat of a police car, without a tear in sight. “I just smiled at him,” Tim says. “I knew he was safe.”
Edington was charged with kidnapping and faced up to 11 years in prison.
A few weeks after the incident, Tim received a certificate of recognition from the VTA Board of Directors and the city of Milpitas. Still, Tim is humble about his actions.
Questions 26 to 30. Judge if the following statements agree with the information given in the passage. Choose A for TRUE if the statements agree with it; choose B for FALSE if the statements don’t agree with it; choose C for NOT GIVEN if the information the statements carry is not mentioned anywhere in the passage.
26. Tim had a stomachache when he realized that the bad guy was on his bus.
27. The purpose of Tim pulling into a McDonald’s parking lot was to look for a lost bag.
28. Tim slowed down to arrive at the final stop no earlier than the police.
29. The bad guy did not see the police car because the bus didn’t have a back window.
30. The boy’s mother was chatting with friends when he wandered away.
Questions 31 to 34. Match the following words with their meanings in the passage. Note that there are four choices more than you need.
31. alert
32. snatched
33. hand-cuffed
34. recognition
Question 35. Choose the best answer from A, B, C or D.
35. According to the passage, which of the following could best describe Tim?
A. Kind and generous. B. Wise and humorous.
C. Patient and creative D. Brave and smart.

A possible version:
At present, shared bikes can be seen everywhere, which brings great convenience to people. They provide an effective solution to the “last mile” problem since we can unlock a bike by simply scanning the QR code on it and go wherever we want.
However, bike-sharing has also led to problems, such as illegal parking or damage to the bikes. Some people park the bikes without considering any inconvenience for other people. Furthermore, we feel very disappointed when the bike we find cannot be used because the QR code is destroyed or the bike has been damaged.
To cope with the above problems, I suggest the government set up some zones specifically for bike parking with bright signs. What’s more, all citizens should consider using shared bikes responsibly as a way to improve our lifestyle and promote a greener environment within the city.
I really hope that shared bikes can be made best use of in the near future.

Thank you all for coming to my talk this evening. For those of you who don’t know very much about PS Camping, let me start by giving you some background information about the company. It started 25 years ago as a chain selling camping equipment. And 20 years ago, it bought a small number of places to camp in the UK, and began offering holidays. Now, it has been providing holidays in Europe for the last 15 years. We believe our holidays offer superb camping plans for the whole family. Our children activities are organized by our well-qualified and enthusiastic staff. Each day kicks off with a football match, followed by an hour of drama for everyone. In the afternoon, there’s a different art activity such as a drawing competition for each day of the week. What’s more, our sites are truly child-friendly. Children’s evening activities usually finish at 9:30, or occasionally 10:00, and from 10:30 on holiday-makers are expected to be quiet in the areas where there are tents. |
