二、完形（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）
Mr. Whitson taught sixth-grade science. On the first day of class, he gave us a(n) 16 about an animal called the Cattywampus that became 17 during the Ice Age, and he passed around a skull as he talked. We all took notes and later had a 18 .
When he returned my paper, I was 19 . There was a big red “X” on my paper. I had 20 . There must be something wrong! I had written down 21 what Mr. Whitson said.
Then I realized that everyone in the class had failed. What had happened? Very 22 , Mr. Whitson explained. He had 23 all that story about the Cattywampus. There had never been such animals. The 24 in our notes was, therefore, incorrect. Did we 25 credit for incorrect answers?
We should have 26 it out, Mr. Whitson said. After all, at the very moment he was passing around the Cattywampus skull (in 27 , a cat’s), he had told us that no trace of the animal remained. He had 28 its amazing night vision, the color of its fur and a number of other facts he couldn’t have known. He had given the animal a ridiculous name, and we still hadn’t been 29 . The zeroes on our papers would be 30 in his grade book, he said. And they were.
Mr. Whitson said he hoped we would learn something from this experience. 31 and textbooks are not always right. In fact, no one is. He told us not to let our 32 go to sleep, and to speak up if we ever thought he or the textbook was 33 .
If I’m ever asked to 34 a solution to the crisis in our school, it will be Mr. Whitson. I haven’t made any great scientific discoveries, but Mr. Whitson’s class gave me and my classmates something just as 35 : the courage to tell people they are wrong.
16. A. experimentB. lecture C. bookD. speech
17. A. extinctB. terribleC. popularD. tired
18. A. discussionB. restC. quiz D. conversation

三、理解 （共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
If you are learning a foreign language, you should follow these guidelines faithfully.
By far the most important factor is how much time you are immersed in the language. The more time you spend with the language, the faster you will learn. This means listening, reading, writing, speaking, and studying words and phrases. This does not mean sitting in class looking out of the window, nor listening to other students who do not speak well, nor getting explanations in your own language about how the language works. This means spending time enjoyably connected to the language you are learning.
Listen wherever you are on your MP3 player. Read what you are listening to. Listen to and read things that you like, things that you can mostly understand, or even partly understand. If you keep listening and reading you will get used to the language. One hour of listening or reading is more effective than many hours of class time.
Build up your vocabulary, and you’ll need lots. Start to notice words and how they come together as phrases. Learn these words and phrases through your listening and reading. Read online, use online dictionaries, and make your own vocabulary lists for review. Soon you will run into your new words and phrases elsewhere. Gradually you will be able to use them. Do not worry about how accurately you speak until you have accumulated plenty of words through listening and reading.
If you do not want to learn the language, you won’t. If you do want to learn the language, take control. Choose content that you want to listen to and read. Seek out the words and phrases that you need to understand your listening and reading. Do not wait for someone else to show you the language, nor to tell you what to do. Discover the language by yourself, like a child growing up. A teacher cannot teach you to become fluent, but you can learn to become fluent if you want to.
Do not worry about what you cannot remember, or cannot yet understand. It does not matter. You are learning and improving. The language will gradually become clearer in your brain, but this will happen on a schedule that you cannot control. So sit back and enjoy. Just make sure you spend enough time with the language. That is the greatest guarantee of success.

What’s the furthest you have ever cycled? Perhaps you cycle to school or to work, or maybe at most a short cycling trip with friends. How would you feel about spending months on the road traveling alone from the UK to China by bike?
For British cyclist Pete Jones, camping outside and cycling long distances are his second nature. As an old hand of expeditions (远征) through places such as the Tianshan mountains and the Tibetan Plateau, Mr. Jones is now undertaking a long trip across the Eurasian (欧亚的) continent from Britain to China. Having lived on and off in Xinjiang for three years, and having visited the country many times since 1992, Pete Jones is no stranger to China. But he says many people there are puzzled by his passion for cycling, asking why he would choose to cycle when he can afford a car. Indeed, while there’re some 400 million bicycles in China, where it has long been the preferred form of transport, fast economic growth has fuelled an explosive expansion in car ownership.
Edward Genochio, another British cyclist who completed a 41,000 km trip to China and back, said one of his aims was to promote cycling as a safe, sustainable and environment-friendly means of getting about.
In the UK, the last few years have seen a rise in the number of people choosing two wheels over four, and the number of people cycling to work has almost doubled in the last five years. Politicians also see cycling as a way to protect the environment, with people such as London mayor Boris Johnson often riding to work. But we may have to wait some time before we see him emulating (效仿) Pete Jones in attempting to cycle all the way to China.
41. The passage mainly talks about _______.
A. driving cars B. camping outside C. traveling alone D. riding bikes
42. Why would Pete Jones prefer cycling to driving a car?
A. Because he has a passion for cycling. B. Because cycling is much cheaper.
C. Because driving a car is more dangerous.
D. Because cycling is his first nature.
43. Now more and more Chinese people _______.
A. spend lots of time in cycling long distances
B. buy cars because of the fast economic growth
C. choose two wheels over four
D. are confused about Pete Jones’ passion for cycling
44. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. Pete Jones has cycled to China many times
B. China is about 41,000 km away from Britain
C. Edward Genochio has finished a trip to China by bike
D. London mayor Boris Johnson is a long-distance cyclist too
45. In Britain more and more people tend to _______.
A. share short cycling trips with friends
B. learn from cyclists such as Pete Jones
C. go to school or to work by bike
D. choose four wheels over two for daily use
C
Positive disciplinary (训诫的) methods have been helping teachers make classes a friendlier place for their students.
The introduction of positive discipline in schools means that teachers will not use violence as punishments for students who make mistakes, according to Dinh Thi Loi, a teacher of Xuan Thu Primary School in Soc Son District of Ha Noi.
“We do not scold students or use violence to punish them as we did in the past for what they do wrong,” Loi said. Instead, teachers are trying to understand the psychology of each student and adopt the appropriate attitude so that students can improve their behavior without being punished.
For example, when students talk in class, teachers are not shouting or making a pupil feel embarrassed by insulting them in front of their friends, but instead asking them to stand up and think about the reason why they should be silent.
After a short period of time, the teacher will then talk to them again, adopting a softer tone in order for students to see their mistakes and be keen not to repeat them.
The Ministry of Education and Training and Plan Organization co-organized the project, entitled “Protecting children—Strengthening positive discipline method”, from 2009 to 2014 in 110 primary schools in six provinces and Ha Noi.
Within the project, teachers are provided with knowledge on children’s rights and duties and skills to communicate with children in a non-violent way.
The project aims at building a friendly education environment for students so that they can learn effectively and improve their creativity as well as improving the communication between teachers and students.
46. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. A positive project B. Building a friendly environment
C. The relationship between teachers and pupils
D. Good discipline encourages pupils
47. How did most teachers deal with those students who made mistakes in the past?
A. They talked with those students gently.
B. They kept those students out of the classroom.
C. They used violence to punish those students.
D. They asked those students to remain standing up for a long time.
48. Which of the following is NOT the aim of the project mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To make students learn efficiently. B. To help students make no mistakes.
C. To improve the communication between teachers and students.
D. To improve pupils’ creativity.
49. The underlined word “insulting” in Paragraph 4 probably means _______.
A. treating rudely B. praising publicly
C. persuading publicly D. educating publicly
50. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. all students feel comfortable when making mistakes
B. teachers may not like the project
C. the project has come into use in 110 primary schools
D. teachers must meet higher requirements within the project
D
China—the biggest market for traditional medicines made from tiger parts—has banned sales for 17 years as part of a global effort to save the animal from extinction.
But it has come under great pressure from tame (经驯养的) tiger farmers to re-open the profitable business. Wang Wei, deputy director of the Department of Wildlife Conservation of the State Forestry Ministration, said a change of policy is unavoidable. “The issue is open for review,” he told the state-run China Daily newspaper. “The ban won’t be there forever, given the strong voices from tiger farmers, experts and society.”
China’s population of wild tigers has almost been wiped out, with only 50 left in the north-east of the country. But commercial farmers have raised about 5,000 on the farm. Each year, about 1,000 tigers are born. At present the valuable bodies and bones cannot be legally sold so they are kept in freezers after the animals die. Several huge farms face ruin because they have speed-raised thousands of tigers, which are worthless until the ban is lifted. Mr. Wang argued this was an unnecessary economic loss and said, “It will be a waste if the resources of dead tigers are not used in traditional medicine.” He said some of the captive population could be reintroduced to the wild. But there is no successful case of this happening in China. Farm-raised tigers cannot survive in forests and jungles because they are too tame.
Any shift in China’s policy would cause international reactions. Despite promises that captive-bred tigers would be tagged to distinguish them from wild animals, environmentalists fear that any re-opening of the market would advance poaching. At a meeting in Hague last week, John Sellar, senior enforcement officer at the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, criticized the farm-raising programmes as having “limited” potential for protection. Environmentalists blame the farmers of racing to increase the captive stock—despite overcrowded cages and the change of genetic quality—to force the government into a change of policy.
51. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Whether China is to lift the ban on the sale of tiger parts.
B. China has lifted the ban on the sale of tiger parts.
C. China’s population of wild tigers has been wiped out.
D. The shift in China’s policy wouldn’t cause international reactions.
52. How many living tigers are there in China at present?
A. Only 50. B. About 1,000. C. About 5,000. D. About 5,050.
53. What does the underlined word “poaching” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Raising more tigers in the wild. B. Raising more tigers on the farm.
C. Hunting tigers in the wild. D. Selling and buying tigers parts.
54. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. China has banned tiger parts sales since 2003.
B. Wang Wei is against lifting the ban on the sale of tiger parts.
C. Some of the captive population can be reintroduced to the wild.
D. Farm-raised tigers cannot survive in the wild.
55. Why is it important for China to consider whether to lift the ban on the sale of tiger parts?
A. Because several huge farms face ruin.
B. Because it may cause international reaction and advance poaching.
C. Because the tigers in the wild are facing extinction.
D. Because the farmers will increase the captive tiger stock.
