第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分 50 分）
第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项，并
在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（共 20 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 40 分）
A
I picked up my two best friends and we were off on a road trip. I had just returned to America from a year
abroad in China. So, naturally I wanted to take a trip: to Canada.
Montreal, the second largest city in Canada, is a four-hour drive from my home in New Hampshire.
We felt a thrill as we crossed the border into Canada. It was the first time I had ever driven across an
international border. We turned on the radio to try and find some Canadian stations.
After dropping off our bags at our hotel, we were immediately walking down the famous St. Catherine’s
street. While we walked two things surprised us: how cold it was and how well everyone dressed. The streets of
Montreal are like a fashion show. Both men and women look like they stepped out of the pages of a magazine.
All of that fashion has to keep them warm since Montreal is so cold. Last year it broke the record for
most snowfall in North America. To hide from the cold we went into a small diner because we wanted to order
Poutine, a very popular snack in Montreal. It is French fries covered in cheese and brown gravy (肉汁). It is
delicious.
However. we had a hard time ordering the dish since the official language of Montreal is Fren ch. It is
actually the fifth largest French-speaking city in the world. But since the rest of Canada speaks English, plenty of
people were there to help.
We spent the rest of the weekend going to the many historical churches and monuments in Montreal. But
at night we’d head to the very modern dance clubs and bars. Montreal is a city that sits between the past and
the future and the traveler can choose whichever direction he wants to go.
41. ______ surprised the author most when he was in Montreal according to the passage.
A. Its cold weather and well-dressed citizens B. Its delicious snack and beautiful streets
C. Its generosity and kindness of the citizens D. Its beautiful streets and well-dressed citizens
42. How do you understand the underlined sentence “Both men and women look like they stepped out of the
pages of a magazine” in Paragraph 4?
A. The men and women are really the fashion models of a magazine.
B. The portraits of the men and women are printed in the magazine.
C. They are so well dressed that they look like models in a magazine.
D. The men and women like to copy characters in magazines.
43. Which of the following can NOT be concluded from Paragraph 4?
A. The author and his friends couldn’t wait to explore the city.
B. The author wasn’t used to the weather of Montreal.
C. The citizens from Montreal care much about what they wear.
D. Montreal often holds fashion shows.
44. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The author often went to China for a visit.
B. The people they met in the diner were kind and helpful.
C. All the people in the diner were locals.
D. The author went to Montreal on business.
B
In high school, all Canadian students take part in a very exciting event. It is “Take Your Children to Work
Day”. Students will have a chance to work with their parents. My day took place in my mom’s work, the York
Region Police Department.
When I arrived, a coach was teaching the officers basic combat (格斗) skills. Everyone tried their best to
practice. I could see them sweating (流汗) and panting (喘气).
The most exciting part of my visit was a stop at the 911 Communication Center. 911 is the same as 110, 119
and 120 in China. Every 911 Call in the city is answered here. When I entered the center, I stood beside a call
dispatcher (分派人员) and watched him dealing with the calls.
Suddenly, the phone rang, he picked it up and a woman cried for help. There was a robbery (抢劫) in her
house. The call dispatcher told her: “Please calm down and move to the safe place quietly. Don’t fight with them.
Just let them take what they want. Please make sure you are not hurt. We are sending officers there.”
He followed the call and found the address. The call dispatcher chose the five closest police cars from the
satellite map and clicked (敲键盘) to send the policemen. I saw the police cars from the satellite map were
quickly moving to the woman’s house. Five minutes later, they arrived. I asked the call dispatcher why he sent
five cars. He said: “There are different levels of emergencies. Robbery is a high priority (优先), so we have to
send five cars.”
The day was interesting. I learned how the different departments work together. The officers were very
friendly and admirable (让人崇敬的).

When I looked at the grade on my math paper my jaw (下巴) almost dropped to the ground: a big “65” in
bright red ink. I had never received such a terrible grade before.
I was so ashamed that when I got home that afternoon I lied to my dad. I told him I got 85 and that the
report wouldn’t come until the end of the month. Dad smiled. His daughter would never lie about her grade, so
he didn’t doubt the unusual delay (延迟) of my report.
A month later. Dad casually (随意地) asked me again about the report at the dinner table. He looked
right into my eyes and asked for an answer. Having no choice. I told him that I had in fact got just 65 in my math
final. I had lied because I didn’t want to let him down.
For a moment, he just looked at me. I would have preferred a telling off(斥责) than that silence. Finally,
Dad said, in a hurt voice, “You have already let me down, with your lie. I am not disappointed at your math score.
That is no big deal-no one can be perfect all the time. But I am very disappointed in you. If you can’t be honest
with your dad. who can you be honest with? It’s much easier to achieve a better grade than rebuild someone
else’s trust in you.”
Dad’s words touched my heart. I couldn’t forgive (原谅) myself for hav ing hurt his feelings. I took out
the report that I had been hiding for weeks, handed to him and apologized, sincerely. I realized that my honesty
is not only important to me personally, but to those around me that truly care about my well-being(幸福).
In one of Shakespeare’s plays a character says: “No legacy (遗产) is so rich as honesty.” After the
crisis between Dad and me, I began to understand those words.

A. was punished by her father for a bad grade

B. she didn’t want to let her father down
C. her father wouldn’t get her grade report
D. her father got angry whenever she got a poor grade
51. Why did her father stay silent after his daughter told him that she had lied?
A. He didn’t understand what his daughter had said.
B. He was angry that his daughter lied to him again.
C. He was unhappy with his daughter’s bad score.
D. He was hurt that his daughter had lied to him.
52. The purpose of the article is to tell us that ________.
A. dishonesty may work sometimes, but there is a price to pay.
B. sometimes a tie can make things easier
C. we should study hard to make our parents happy
D. we should accept the fact that we are not perfect

To: All Staff
From: Jakie Mok, Secretary; Sports Development Committee
Date: May 20, 2010
A Week ago, “Sports for Life” programme was sent to the parents, requiring them to select a sport they
wanted their child to play. Since then. our staff have received lots of calls from parents asking for more
information about it. Here is a memo (备忘录) for your reference when you answer the phones:
Sports 1: Basketball
We expect that this will be the most popular of the four sports. Therefore, students should be advised to
sign up as soon as possible. Students will take a private bus to and from Kwun Tong Sports Park. To cover the
cost of hiring a bus. each student will have to pay $10 each time. There will be four basketball courts available
for our use with one teacher watching over each game.
Sports 2: Gym
We will be using St. Peter’s Memorial Park. There are two reasons for choosing this park. First. it is not
very busy .and crowded before 6:00 pm. Second, it has a lot of trees with plenty of shade. Students must bring
along two bottles of water to prevent thirst. Three activities, skipping, jogging, outdoor aerobics (有氧运动),
all of which are free of charge, will be arranged. And there will be a teacher on duty for each of the activities.
Sports 3: Hiking.
Hiking (远足)will take place at Kowloon Peak. The activity will start at 2:30 pm and finish 90 minutes later.
Three teachers will accompany the students, and a hiking instructor will accompany each group of 15 hikers.
Each instructor will cost $ 75/hr.
Sports 4: Swimming
The Kowloon City Aquatic Centre is a 10-minute walk from our school. Four teachers will go to the pool and
conduct the goings-on from the poolside. We will only be able to reserve the pool for one hour (i.e. 2:45pm to
3:45pm). Only students skilful at swimming can take up this activity. The pool will have two lifeguards present.
Girls must wear a swimming suit. The cost is $10 per visit.

D. teachers will accompany students on each sport
56. The purpose of the memo is to ________.

AFTER a year of saving we had enough money for a fish tank, fish and their expensive breathing apparatus
(设备). My children and I spent hours at the pet store, picking out colored rocks, plants and six perfect fish.
Back home, I set the fish loose in the newly cleaned and filled tank. We all spent the evening watching in
wonder as they explored their new home. The kids were happy; I was thrilled.
The next morning my husband, who had got up to make coffee, rushed back into the bedroom and shook
me awake. He told me that the water had gone from the tank.
I sprang out of bed and ran down the hall to the living room. I gasped (喘气) when I saw my beautiful
waterless tank and the lifeless bodies of my fish lying on the rocks. The kids were gathered around the tank,
crying and pointing fingers at each other.
I felt the carpet and di scovered it was dry. How could 30 gallons (加仑) of water disappear and leave
the carpet dry? I anxiously searched for the reason the water had escaped and where it had escaped to. but
came up with nothing. I called all the pet stores. searching for an answer. Maybe the cats had drunk all the
water. Maybe the water had evaporated (蒸发).
It beat me; it beat everybody. I gave up and went out to the backyard to have a private pity party and
stepped right into a pool of water. It didn’t take long to discover the source. When I’d unh ooked (取下) the
airline (通风管路) the night before, I’d thrown one end of the tube over the back of the tank. It had dearly fed
the water out of the tank and into the yard.
Just at that moment I heard a scream of amazement from in side the house. It was my daughter: “Mommy,
Mommy! They’re alive! The fish are alive! it’s a miracle!”
I ran back to find them refilling the tank. We all watched in amazement as each fish began to wriggle (扭
动) and shake and spring back to life. By the time the tank was half full, all six of the fish were swimming
happily around. They were indeed miracle fish!
57. What does the phrase “pointing fingers at each other” in the article mean?
A. Fighting with each other. B. Praying for each other.
C. Blaming each other. D. Asking each other questions.
58. How did the water really escape from the tank?
A. The cats had drunk it. B. It had evaporated.
C. It had poured onto the carpet. D. The airline pumped it out.
59. The word "beat" in Paragraph 6 could be replaced by _______.
A. hurt B. defeated C. was too difficult for D. was unexpected
60. What can we infer from the article?
A. The fish were magical. B. They’d bought a broken tank.
C. The kids were naughty and played a trick.
D. They found out probably not long after the water was gone.
