She was not the leggy, attractive Hollywood type. In fact, she described herself as stupid.‎ ‎    Her name is Reese Witherspoon. Since Reese Witherspoon was six years old, she had admired and respected Dolly Patton, who was a famous country singer. For three years she had gone all out to act, dance and sing, fancying that she could be another Dolly Patton. ‎ ‎    However, at the end of the camp her coaches told her to forget about singing. They suggested she think about another career. She took their words to heart. After all, why shouldn't she believe the professionals? ‎ ‎    But back at home in Nashville, her mother--a funny, happy, optimistic woman--wouldn't let her feel depressed. Her father, a physician, encouraged her to achieve in school. So she worked hard at everything and was accepted at Stanford‎ ‎University. ‎ ‎    And at 19, she got a part in a low-budget movie called Freeway, which prepared for her role in the movie Pleasantville. But her big break came with Legally Blonde. ‎ ‎    "If you can't sing and you aren't charming, play to your strengths. If you're going to make it in this business, better focus on what you're good at," she told the interviewer later. ‎ ‎    And then came the offer that took her back to her Nashville-playing the wife of a country star Johnny Cash, a singing role. All of a sudden the old fears learned on that summer stage were back. She was so nervous on the stage. But she didn't give up on the movie or herself. She spent 6 months taking singing lessons again. She learned to play the Autoharp. And the hard work built up her confidence.‎ ‎    Last March, Reese Witherspoon walked up on another stage, the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, and accepted the Oscar as Best Actress for her heartbreaking, heartwarming singing role as June Carter Cash in Walk the Line.‎ ‎（1）Why was Reese Witherspoon sad at the end of the camp? ‎ A.She was described foolish.

B.By regaining her confidence through hard work. ‎ C.By making herself leggy and attractive. D.By forgetting that summer stage.‎ ‎（4）Which is the best title for the passage? ‎ A.A successful actress B.Reese Witherspoon C.Fortune is important D.Never give up ‎3.阅读理解 ‎ ‎    Food experts say washing could spread the germs on your turkey in the kitchen sink or nearby food. But it's been a challenge trying to convince cooks to stop rinsing(冲洗) off raw poultry. Germs that can make people sick are common in the guts of healthy poultry and are legally allowed to be on raw turkey and chicken. The assumption is that nobody eats their poultry raw, and that thorough cooking will kill the bacteria.‎ ‎    The do-not-wash raw poultry advice from the USDA is relatively new and perhaps hasn't caught on because it goes against the common belief that washing makes things clean, said Chapman. Benjamin Chapman, a study author and food safety expert at North Carolina State University, said the instinct to wash raw poultry goes back at least decades when people relied more on visual clues to spot problems with poultry. Meanwhile, washing hands and surfaces are also important.‎ ‎    But food preparation is a complicated act, and germs from poultry can be spread even if it's not washed, especially when birds are removed from packaging.‎ ‎    The USDA-funded study stresses that point. Researchers sprayed raw chicken with a harmless strain of E. coli (大肠杆菌) and watched volunteer cooks at test kitchens. Among those who washed their raw chicken, about a quarter ended up spreading the bacteria to their lettuce. But even some of those who did not rinse the chicken got germs on the lettuce. And there are other opportunities for germs to survive on turkeys: melting and cooking.‎ ‎    To ensure a bird is thoroughly cooked, they say to use a thermometer to check that the deepest and thickest parts of it have reached 165 degrees. Even after the meal is cooked, you aren't out of the danger zone. To keep turkeys and other leftovers safe, experts say they should be refrigerated after two hours.‎ ‎（1）People don't accept USDA's advice because _______. ‎ A.the advice is relatively new. B.cooks clean the turkey before cooking it. C.cleaning seems more trustworthy. D.heat can kill most germs and no one eats raw food.‎ ‎（2）What can be concluded from Paragraph 4? ‎ A.Food packages carry germs. B.Germs from a turkey can be spread whether it is washed or not. C.Hands and surfaces are easy to get E coli. D.Multiple methods should be applied to food to get rid of germs.‎ ‎（3）Which way may help to cook a turkey safely? ‎ A.Rinse off the turkey before it is heated. B.Keep the turkey away from the lettuce and refrigerator. C.Wash hands and packages before taking out the turkey. D.Use a thermometer to check the temperature of the turkey.‎ ‎（4）From which section of a magazine is the text probably taken? ‎ A.Cooking. B.Technology. C.Science. D.Medicine.‎ ‎4.阅读理解 ‎ ‎    Nowadays more and more people are talking about genetically modified foods (GM foods). GM foods develop from genetically modified organisms (有机体), which have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. These techniques are much more precise where an organism is exposed to chemicals to create a nonspecific but stable change. For many people, the hightech production raises all kinds of environmental, ethical, health and safety problems. Particularly in countries with long farming traditions, the idea seems against nature.‎ ‎    In fact, GM foods are already very much a part of our lives. They were first put on the market in 1996. A third of the corn and more than half the cotton grown in the U. S.‎ last year was the product of biotechnology, according to the Department of Agriculture. More than 65 million acres of genetically modified crops will be planted in the US this year. The genetic genie is out of the bottle.‎ ‎    However, like any new product entering the food chain, GM foods must be subjected to careful testing. In wealthy countries, the debate about biotech is not so fierce by the fact that they have a large number of foods to choose from, and a supply that goes beyond the needs. In developing countries desperate to feed fast-growing and underfed populations, the matter is simpler and much more urgent: do the benefits of biotech outweigh the risks?‎ ‎    The statistics on population growth and hunger are disturbing. Last year the world's population reached 6 billion. The UN states that nearly 800 million people around the world are unhealthy. About 400 million women of childbearing age don't have enough iron, which means their babies are exposed to various birth defects. As many as 100 million children suffer from vitamin A deficiency, a leading cause of blindness.‎ ‎    How can biotech help? Genetic engineering is widely used to produce plants and animals with better nutritional values. Biotechnologists have developed genetically modified rice and they are working on other kinds of nutritionally improved crops. Biotech can also improve farming productivity in places where food shortages are caused by crop damage attributable to drought, poor soil and crop viruses.‎ ‎（1）The passage mainly talks about________. ‎ A.the world's food problem. B.the development in biotech. C.the way to solve food shortages. D.the genetically modified foods.‎ ‎（2）According to the passage, GM foods________. ‎ A.will replace naturally grown foods. B.may help to solve the problem of poor nutrition. C.are far better than naturally grown foods. D.can cause serious trouble in developing countries.‎ ‎（3）The underlined sentence "The genetic genie is out of the bottle." in Paragraph 2 probably means that________. ‎ A.GM foods are available everywhere. B.the technology in producing GM foods is advanced. C.genetic technology has come out of laboratories into markets. D.genetic technology may have uncontrollable powers.‎ ‎（4）What's the writer's attitude towards GM foods? ‎ A.Cautious. B.Enthusiastic. C.Disapproving. D.Unbelievable.‎ 二、任务型阅读(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)（共1题；共10分）‎ ‎5.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 ‎ ‎    Many children like to eat snacks in everyday life, and some of them even have snacks during dinner. To maintain the normal meals and stay healthy, it is necessary to regularly eat snacks for children in their spare time.________‎ ‎    Prepare healthy snacks in advance. ‎ ‎    When you make something yourself, you get to control the ingredients(原料）and put in what's good for you! You can also keep plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables at home to take on the go. ________Keep the servings in bags in the fridge, ready to grab and go.‎ ‎    Keep healthy snacks with you.‎ ‎    Make it a habit to store some fruit, whole-grain crackers, or baby carrots in your backpack so you always have some healthy food nearby. Half a cheese sandwich also makes a great snack to have on standby(备用).‎ ‎    ________‎ ‎    Healthy snacking doesn't have to be boring as long as you give yourself a variety of choices. Whole-wheat biscuits with peanut butter or low fat fruit yogurt are healthy, tasty, and easy.‎ ‎    Satisfy cravings(渴望）with healthier approaches.‎ ‎    ________An 8-ounce mug of hot chocolate has only 140 calories and 3 grams of fat. A chocolate bar, on the other hand, has 230 calories and 13 grams of fat.‎ ‎    Evenings can be a tempting time to have sugary, fatty snacks. If you're really feeling hungry, don't ignore it. ________Whole-wheat bread, rice cakes, or popcorn can do the trick, so can fruit paired with cheese or yogurt.‎ A. Make it interesting.‎ B. Instead, pick the right snacks to fill the hunger gap.‎ C. Read serving size information.‎ D. Cut up melons or vegetables in advance.‎ E. If you like to do some cooking about snacks, you can follow the following ways.‎ F. Here are some ways to make healthy snacking part of your daily routine.‎ G.

Talking to friends or family members first are always a good idea.‎ 六、书面表达 (满分25分)（共1题；共25分）‎ ‎9.假如你是李华，《21st Century》报刊正在举办 “分享一本好书”的活动，邀请你投稿，请你就此写一篇短文，内容包括: ‎ ‎1）谈谈你对阅读的看法；‎ ‎2）分享一本对你影响最大的书。‎ 注意：‎ ‎1）词数100左右，开头已写好，不计人总词数；‎ ‎2）文中不得透露个人姓名和学校名称。‎ Dear Sir or Madam,‎ ‎    I feel it a great honor to be welcomed to get involved in such a meaningful activity. ‎ ‎    ‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua 答案解析部分 一、阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) ‎ ‎1.【答案】 （1）B （2）D （3）C ‎ ‎【考点】推理判断题，细节理解题，时文广告类 ‎ ‎【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了四个参观不同地方的旅游项目的情况。 （1）考查细节理解。根据Discover Bangladesh部分中的“Read travelers' recent comments on our website and discover how good we are!”阅读旅行者最近在我们网站上的评论，发现我们有多好！由此可知，Discover Bangladesh的特别之处在于它提供旅客评论。故选B。 （2）考查细节理解。根据Explore Japan部分中的“No trip is complete without tasting some of the world's best cuisine,from delicious fresh sushi to crispy tempura.”没有品尝过世界上最好的美食，旅行就不算完整，从美味的新鲜寿司到酥脆的天妇罗。由此可知，Explore Japan能够满足你对食物的热爱。故选D。 （3）考查推理判断。纵观全文可知，本文介绍了四个参观不同地方的旅游项目，由此可推知，文章最有可能来自一本旅游手册。故选C。 【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇介绍类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。‎ ‎2.【答案】 （1）D （2）B （3）B （4）D ‎ ‎【考点】主旨大意题，推理判断题，人物故事类，记叙文 ‎ ‎【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述奥斯卡最佳女演员获得者瑞茜●威瑟斯彭专注于自己的表演特长勇往直前,战胜挫折的经历。她不懈的努力让她的梦在2006年3月在好莱坞的柯达剧院绽放,她获得了奥斯卡最佳女演员奖。 （1）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“However, at the end of the camp her coaches told her to forget about singing.

of固定短语，“使某人摆脱......”，故填of。 ‎ ‎ （2）考查引导词。句意：但是，如何扩大农作物产量一直困扰着他。此句是"how+不定式”作主语，故填how。 （3）考查形容词。句意：这个令人不安的问题导致他后悔当了一个农民。形容词修饰名词作定语，故用disturbing。 （4）考查代词。句意：他宁愿选择另一份工作。another job“另一份工作”，故填another。 （5）考查时态。句意：他强调了袁隆平的国籍和职业，然后专注于他的发现和他的研究数据。根据He underlined Yuan's nationality and occupation的时态，可知谓语动词用一般过去时，故填focused。 （6）考查形容词。句意：他发现袁隆平的知识非常实用。此处形容词作表语，故填practical。 （7）考查代词。句意：他种植了营养丰富的超级谷物，并装备自己，以保持他的作物根部没有细菌和害虫。此处反身代词作宾语，故填himself。 （8）考查非谓语动词。句意：他还增加了土壤中的矿物质，同时减少了化肥的使用。he和reduce在逻辑上是主谓关系，现在分词表主动，此处作时间状语，故填reducing。 （9）考查名词。句意：虽然这让他失去了更多的时间和自由，但是他充满了希望。此空与time

(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) ‎ ‎8.【答案】 complete →completely  ②very →so  ③have →are  ④advise →advice  ⑤删掉have  ⑥make →making  ⑦of →in  ⑧how →what  ⑨In 后加a/one  ⑩are →is ‎ ‎【考点】短文改错 ‎ ‎【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，一个人独自做决定是有一定风险的，有些决定只能在通过与别人讨论之后才能做出．当作决定咨询别人时要遵循两点：第一，听取你所尊重的，足以信赖的人的判断；第二，如果你与一个人的观点不同，就要讨论一下该怎样做．总之，一些重大决定能导致一定的问题，与家人或朋友讨论一下就可能会得到好的主意。 （1）考查副词。分析句子结构可知，此处应该用副词作状语，故complete改为completely。 （2）考查副词。这里用副词so与后面的that构成"so…that…"结构，意为"如此.....以至于......"，故very改为so。 （3）考查固定句式。分析句意为"这里有几个优点"，这是一个存现句，要用there be句型，be 的单复数形式与后面的名词的单复数形式保持一致；动词have也可以表示"有"，但英语中没有there have这种表达方法，故have改为are。 （4）考查名词。advice意为"建议"，是不可数名词，没有复数形式，所以这里用advice，故advices改为advice。 （5）考查语态。句意：你所忽视的一些事情。you 与overlooked应当是主动关系，故去掉been。 （6）考查非谓语动词。介词from后面要用名词或动名词作宾语，故make改为making。 ‎ ‎ （7）考查介词。句意：你应当记住两件事。keep in mind 固定短语，"记住"，所以of改为in。 （8）考查表语从句。分析句子结构可知do是及物动词，不定式前用关系代词what做动词do的宾语。故how改为what。 （9）考查冠词。in a word固定短语，"总之，简言之"，故word前面加a。 （10）考查主谓一致。动名词短语“Talking to friends or family members” 作主语，谓语动词要用单数形式，故are改为is。 【点评】本题考点涉及副词，名词，语态，非谓语动词，介词，表语从句，冠词，主谓一致以及固定句式等多个知识点的考查，是一篇教育类阅读，覆盖面广，综合性强，难度较大，区分度高。‎
