第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40）
第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30）
（A）
The view over a valley of a tiny village with thatched (草盖的) roof cottages around a church, a drive through a narrow village street lined with thatched cottages painted pink or white, the sight over the rolling hills of a pretty collection of thatched farm buildings―these are still common sights in parts of England. Most people will agree that the thatched roof is an essential part of the attraction of the English countryside.
Thatching(用草料盖屋顶) is in fact the oldest of all the building crafts（工艺）practised in the British Isles. Although thatch has always been used for cottage and farm buildings, it was once used for castles and churches, too.　　
Thatching is a solitary（独自的）craft, which often runs in families. The craft of thatching as it is practised toady has changed very little since the Middle Ages. Over 800 full-time thatchers are employed in England and Wales today, keeping and renewing the old roofs as well as thatching newer houses. Many property owners choose thatch not only for its beauty but because they know it will keep them cool in summer and warm in winter.
In fact, if we look at developing countries, over half the world lives under thatch, but they all do it in different ways. People in developing countries are often unwilling to go back to traditional materials and would prefer modern buildings. However, they may lack the money to allow them to get the necessary materials. Their temporary mud huts with thatched roofs of wild grasses often only last six months. Thatch which has been done the British way lasts from twenty to sixty years, and is an effective defense against the heat.
21 .Which of the following remains a special feature of the English countryside?
A. Narrow streets lined with pink or white houses. B. Rolling hills with pretty farm buildings.
C. Cottages with thatched roofs. D. Churches with cottages around them.
22. What do we know about thatching as a craft?
A. It is a collective activity. B. It is practised on farms all over England.
C. It is quite different from what it used to be. D. It is in most cases handed down among family members.
23. Thatched houses are still preferred because of _________.
A. their style and comfort B. their durability
C. their easy maintenance D. their cheap and ready-made materials
24. People in developing countries also live under thatch because ________.
A. thatched cottages are a big tourist attraction
B. thatched roof houses are the cheapest C. thatch is an effective defense against the heat
D. they like thatched houses better than other buildings

B
There are many American expressions about insects--- like bees, for example. Bees are known as very hard workers. They appear to be busy, moving around their homes, or hives (蜂窝). So you might say you were as busy as a bee if you spent your weekend cleaning your house. In fact, you might say your house was a beehive of activity if your whole family was helping you clean. You also might say you made a beeline for something if you went there right away. When we go to see a movie, my friend always makes a beeline for the place where they sell popcorn (爆米花) .
Here is an expression about bees that is not used much any more, but we like it anyway. We think it was first used in the 1920s. If something was the best of its kind, you might say it was the bee’s knees. Now, we admit that we do not know how this expression developed. In fact, we do not even know if bees have knees!
If your friend cannot stop talking about something because she thinks it is important, you might say she has a bee in her bonnet (女帽). If someone asks you a personal question, you might say “that is none of your beeswax”. This means none of your business.
Speaking of personal questions, there is an expression when their children ask, “Where do babies come from?” Parents who discuss sex and reproduction say this is talking about the birds and bees.
Butterflies are beautiful insects, but you would not want to have butterflies in your stomach. That means to be nervous about having to do something, like speaking in front of a crowd. You would also not want to have ants in your trousers. That is, to be unable to sit still.
25. If you make a beeline for something, you ______ .
A. are as busy as a bee B. go quickly and directly towards it
C. always go to the same place D. buy something at a certain place
26. The underlined expression “ it is the bee’s knees” _______ .
A. is not used at all now B. was first used in the 1820s
C. reminds us that bees have knees D. means “it is very good”
27. If you ask your American friend Jack “How old is your wife?” he may say “______.”
A. It is none of your beeswax B. You have a bee in your bonnet
C. It is the bee’s knees D. You are talking about the birds and bees
28. When you have butterflies in your stomach, you ______ .
A. are too sick to sit still B. have ants in your trousers
C. are nervous about something D. have a stomachache
29. The passage mainly tells us _______.
A. some interesting and useful insects B. some expressions about insects
C. the way of learning expressions D. some newly-invented expressions

（C）
Dolphins（海豚）are not fish, but warm-blooded animals. They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this, they are like other animals, such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time―at least twenty or thirty years. Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw.
Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.
There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903, Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area－except for The Penguin.
Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.
30. Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they _____.
A. live in groups B. have large brains C. are warm-blooded D. have their own language
31. Which of the following does the dolphin use to help it find its way around?
A. Its nose. B. Its ears. C. Its mouth. D. Its eyes.
32. Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack?
A. He was lonely and liked to be with people. B. They enjoyed playing with him.
C. He was seriously wounded. D. They wanted his help.
33. By telling the story of Jack, the writer wanted to show that _____.
A. dolphins are friendly and clever B. people are cruel to animals
C. Jack is different from other dolphins D. dolphins should be protected by law
(D)
Hotlines have become common in China. Some radio broadcasting stations use hotlines to encourage the listeners to take part in the talk shows.
That’s a good idea. Yet, the fact is, some people do nothing but break the whole program.
Some people know little about the topic under discussion. Sometimes they do not even know what the host is talking about. So the host has to tell the caller what the show is about. Usually the caller will ask a few questions which express his hope and show his ignorance (无知). Then the host has to answer and explain—how silly this is! It wastes a lot of time.
It seems that some people phone the hotlines for fun. They just want to let the listeners hear them. They don’t care what the topic is, whether they themselves are interested or how silly they appear to be.
I’m totally bored by those people. It’s necessary for radio stations to improve the hotline programmers. In my opinion, if a caller does not know what is going on, the operator should not let the caller take part in it.
34. The sentence “some people do nothing but break the whole program” may tell us that _____.
A. radio stations use hotlines in a wrong way B. it is a fact
C. it is a good idea D. some people have unclear thoughts
35. Some calls waste the host’s time __________.
A. because the host works hard B. because of the caller’s ignorance
C. because the host likes talking to the caller D. because of a lot of questions raised by the caller

Why do we find it hard to say “no”?
As we well known, saying “no” to others is no easy at all. But sometimes we have to learn to say “no”. 36 Below are common reasons why people find it hard to say “no”.
37 You are a kind soul at heart. You don’t want to turn the person away and you want to help when possible, even if it may eat into your time.
Afraid of being rude. I was brought up under the idea that saying “no”, especially to people who are older, is rude. This thinking is common in Asian culture, where face-saving is important. 38
Wanting to be agreeable. You don’t want to alienate yourself from the group because you are not in agreement. So you agree to others’ requests.
Fear of conflict. 39 this might lead to an ugly confrontation. Even if there isn’t, there might be disagreement which might lead to bad effects in the future.
40 perhaps you are worried saying “no” means closing doors. For example, one of my friends’ wives was asked to work in another department in her company. Since she liked her team, she didn’t want to say “no” as she felt it would affect her promotion opportunities in the future.

A. I slowly realized I needed to learn to say “no”.
B. It means not making others look bad or lose face.
C. To learn to say “no”, we have to first understand what’s stopping us from doing it.
D. Wanting to keep good relationships.
E. You want to help others.
F. Fear of losing opportunities.
G. You are afraid the person might be angry if you refuse him/her.
