第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)

第一节(共15小题;每小题2分，满 分30分)

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。

A

The day before St. Patrick’s Day in 1936, our school was dismissed early because of rain water. Johnstown, Pennsylvania, where I lived, had experienced heavy snow for months before the Irish holiday. In early March, the weather warmed and some of the heavy snow started to melt. Worse,it also started to rain. Water moved down from the several hills around Johnstown.

I was 14 and a junior high school student. I lived near the school. On my way home, I had to cross a small river. When I got there, water was already over the river’s bridge.  Afraid and drenched, I ran as fast as I could. My father and mother were home with my two younger sisters. We had no electricity or gas. The lines were underwater. We couldn’t make a fire .

Early on St. Patrick’s Day, it was rainy and warm. That afternoon, a policeman drove a fire truck by our houses and shouted, “Run to the the hills! The dam might break.” Our father told us to get our coats and get into the car. Many of our neighbors traveled by car, but some walked. Johnstown had built an incline , an elevated railroad car , many years ago to take people to high ground. Everyone was in a hurry.

At daybreak, we returned to the home. The dam did not break. Water filled the streets but not the houses in our neighborhood since we lived in the higher part of town. According to reports, water rose to 17 feet in the center of Johnstown, and all sorts of things from vehicles to houses were swept away. By the next day, the rain had stopped and the sun was out. Of course, the offer of help came as well.

21. What is described in paragraph 1 shows that _____.

A. it usually snowed heavily with rain before the Irish holiday in Johnstown

B. school was on holiday the day before St. Patrick’s Day

C. something terrible might happen

D. why the writer’s school was dismissed early

22. The underlined word “drenched” in paragraph 2 probably means ______.

A. excited        B. angry            C. wet          D. hopeless

23. On St.Patrick’s Day, a policeman _____.

A. drove a truck to help the people make a fire

B. warned people of the possible danger

C. asked people to protect the dam

D. informed people that they had possession taken away to hills

24. We can learn from the last paragraph that the author’s family ______.

A. was very lucky

B. lost their house

C. came to offer help

D. had their car swept away

B

Teen drivers, be careful: Mum and Dad will soon know exactly how fast and how far you drove their car. And if you don’t use the seat belt, don’t even think about turning on the stereo, which allows you to listen to the music in your car.

At the 2015 New Year International Auto Show, American car maker Chevrolet gives your parents the power to check on your driving.

The“Teen Driver” feature(特征)appears with the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu, a new type of mid-size car.

The system is very user-friendly. Parents with a private code(密码)can pull up a dashboard(仪表板)display, including highest speeds reached and distance driven.

Chevrolet isn’t the first car maker to offer such technology. For example, Ford has a similar system called MyKey. But “ the industry is moving toward highly developed controls over a teen’s driving,” said Andy Gryc, a car technology expert.

Chevrolet said it is a safety need. “Teens are more likely to be involved in a car accident, so many parents were asking us to bring something to market that can teach safe driving habits,” said Chevrolet communications manager Chad Lyons.

Teens are three times more likely to die in traffic accidents than grown-ups, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

Lyons thinks that a big problem is distracted(注意力分散)driving, such as texting or listening to music.

Teens with their friends in the car like to listen to loud music . “If the driver and the front passenger aren’t wearing their seat belts , the stereo won’t turn on,” said Lyons. “Parents can also control the level of sound.”

If a teen driver goes beyond a certain speed, the car can speak to the driver, warning them of their speed.

“It’s a way for parents to feel safe while they’re not in the car with their teen,” Lyons said.

25. MyKey is similar to the “Teen Driver” feature because of  its _____.

A. purpose           B. shape        C. quality         D. type

26. How can the feature prevent distracted driving?

A. By telling teens about their speed.

B. By stopping drivers from texting.

C. By avoiding loud music in the car.

D. By asking people to use seat belts.

27. What is the text mainly about?

A. A new technology for road safety.

B. An international car show for teens.

C. An unusual kind of stereo safety system .

D. A new type of fast-speed car.

C

Many of us have heard stories about teachers who can "see" into a student's future. Even if a student is not performing well, they can predict success. We are convinced that this ability, this gift, is evidence that they were "called to teach." If the gift of sight is evidence, how greater must be the gift of touch. I have a story.

I grew up in the fifties in a poor African American neighborhood in Stockton, California. It was at Fair Oaks Elementary School, in a sixth grade English class, that I met Ms.Victoria Hunter, a teacher who had a huge influence on my life.

During reading periods, she would walk around the room, stop at our desks, stand over us for a second or two, and then touch us. Without saying anything to us (nothing could break the silence of reading periods), she would place two fingers lightly on our throats and hold them there for seconds. I learned many years later when I was a student at Stanford University that teachers touch the throat of students to check for sub-vocalization(默读), which slows down the reading speed. I did not know at the time why Ms. Hunter was touching our throats, but I was a serious and respectful student and so, during silent reading period, I did what Ms. Hunter told us to do. I kept my eyes on the material I was reading and waited for her to place her fingers lightly on my throat.

She touched me with her hands. She also touched me with her belief in my ability to achieve. She motivated me by demanding the best from me and by letting teachers I would meet in junior high school know that I should be challenged and that I would be serious about my work. I am convinced that she touched me because she could "see" me in the future. We left Fair Oaks as "best students," entered John Marshall Junior High School, finished at the top of our high school class, and went on to earn graduate degrees in various subjects. Ms. Hunter saw us achieving and she touched us to make certain that we would.

I was not surprised that she came to my graduation ceremony at Edison High School in Stockton or that she talked to me about finishing college and earning a Ph. D. She expected that of me. She gave me a beautifully wrapped box. Inside was a gift, the beauty of which multiplies even as it touches me: a necklace to which I can add charms(小饰物) for each stage of my life.

28. According to the writer, what is a special ability many good teachers possess?

A. The ability to make all students behave well.

B. The ability to treat different students in the same way.

C. The ability to discover a student's potential to succeed.

D. The ability to predict the near future of a poor student.

29. According to the passage, how did Ms. Hunter motivate the writer?

A. By letting teachers knowing their challenges in junior school.

B. By having high expectations of her.

C. By sending her a valuable necklace.

D. By touching to let the writer have belief in her ability.

30. What does the writer mean by the underlined part "a necklace to which I can add charms for each stage of my life”?

A. A gift which encourages me to do well on the journey of my life.

B. A gift which becomes more and more valuable as time goes by.

C. A necklace which I wear on all important occasions in my life.

D. A necklace which suits me and adds to my charm.

31. Which of the following serves as the best title for the story?

A. Ms. Hunter's Unique Way    B. Ms. Hunter's Teaching

C. A Teacher's Touch      D. A Teacher's Memory
