第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分 40 分）

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。
A
One night at a high school dance, a voice came to my ears: “That girl, what a pity she is blind.”
Blind! Ugly word expressed everything dark, blank, and helpless. Quickly I turned, calling out, “Please
don’t feel sorry for me. I’m having lots of fun.”
But the fun was not to last. After entering the college, in order to earn a living, I spent part time
teaching the piano, and sometimes taking part in concerts and lectures. Compared with the time and
hard work, the pay was disheartening. I lost my confidence, especially when I saw my sisters and
friends go off to exciting dates.
Then one day, I met a wonderful girl, an army nurse. Later, we became close friends. She realized I
必修四 第三单元 第 3页 | 共 10 页 单元测试卷 必修四 第三单元 第 4页 | 共 10 页 单元测试卷
was not so happy actually. She said, “Stop knocking on closed doors. Keep up your beautiful music. I
know your chance will come. You’re trying too hard. Why don’t you relax and try to enjoy your life in
your own way?”
The idea was strange to me. It sounded too simple. Somehow, I had always thought that if you
wanted something in this world, you had to go out and get it for yourself. I wondered the purpose for
which I came to this world.
In the following years, the answers began to arrive, clear and satisfying. One of the answers was
Enchanted Hills, where my nurse friend and I have honor(荣幸) of seeing blind children come alive.
Others are the never-ending sources of pleasure and comfort(安慰) I have found in friendship and in
great music.
21. What can we learn from the passage about the author?
A. She always likes dancing.
B. Her life was usually helpless.
C. She often went out with her friends.
D. Her life was full of fun once.
22. Why did the nurse advise the author to try to enjoy her life in her own way?
A. Because the author knocked on closed doors.
B. Because the author didn’t know how to relax.
C. Because the author lived an unhappy life actually.
D. Because the author didn’t keep her beautiful music.
23. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A. You should get something for yourself by your own.
B. The author found the pleasure and meaning of life.
C. The nurse wanted to live meaningfully and hopefully.
D. The nurse helped the author realize her dream.
24. We can learn from the passage that __________.
A. a blind girl changed the author’s life
B. the author is good at playing the piano
C. the author considered herself very unlucky
D. Enchanted Hills is a place where the nurse lived
B
I have heard having a good sense of humour often helps in breaking the ice. Also people remember
you because of your humour. But I think I don’t have a very good sense of humour. Could you suggest
how to build on this?
—Radha Karnik
This is a great question that is unfortunately difficult to answer. I can only give you my views on
this topic, which may or may not be correct. I know that my sense of humour developed over time.
When I was younger I was not funny at all; now I can easily make people laugh. At the same time,
sometimes I say things that I think are very funny but others do not. Improving humour, I believe, is an
ongoing process.
Now, there are various forms of humour and everyone has their own style. Overall, I believe being
fluent in a language is very important for being funny. The way we play around with words adds the
“funny” tag to a normal sentence.
Also, seeing irony(讽刺) is very important. I think humour is often the link between two unrelated
things.
In my experience, laughing frequently and appreciating other people’s jokes are very important.
Within these, finding humor in everyday normal situations is the key.
I often notice what is going on around me and say funny things in my head and laugh to myself.
That serves almost as practice for when I am in a group. I watch comedy shows and movies and I am
sure that has some effect on helping me improve my sense of humour.
And last, having confidence that you are funny is important. There will always be someone funnier
than you, which is fine. Just work on building your own style.
Remember, if you are trying to be funny in order to break the ice at a business function, be careful.
In those situations, humour has to be mild and politically correct.
Yours,
Brad
25. What’s RAdha Karnik’s problem?
A. He doesn’t have friends.
B. He doesn’t know the functions of humour.
C. He doesn’t understand others’ humour.
D. He doesn’t have a good sense of humour.
26. By telling his own experience, Brad tried to make Radha Karnik believe that __________.
A. laughter is the best medicine
B. laughter and humour go hand in hand
C. a sense of humour can be developed
D. a sense of humour helps imipress others
27. Which of the following would Brad agree with?
A. Everyone knows how to appreciate others’ jokes.
B. Everyone has their own style of humour.
C. Everyone is as funny as others.
D. Everyone needs to laugh to themselves each day.
C
An artistic student from a school near Rochester, New York decided to get down to a photography
project of a different kind.
Each day, Chaz Rorick from Rush-Henrietta High School decided to upload an Instagram photo of
himself imitating(模仿) a US president alongside a photo of the actual president.
Many would agree the impressions are quite familiar.
Rorick’s project started when he realized the set of clothes he wore looked like that of President
Harry Truman while watching a documentary. He took a photo of himself, placed it next to one of
Truman, and posted it on Instagram.
He had an instant fan: his father. “The next day I did Roosevelt for fun, but by the third picture I
did one a day, no matter how busy I was. My friends enthusiastically encouraged me to carry on with
such strange and unusual things,” the high school junior told Mashable.
According to Rochester Homepage.net, Rorick said of his project, “It was not too much work,
maybe half an hour a night doing it, except for the ones with wigs(假发) and mustaches. I cut out paper
for it. I taped cotton to my head.”
“It was fun though,” he added. “All my friends supported it. My parents supported it. History
teachers are crazy about it.”
Some people hold the view that Rorick’s photos are creative, entertaining and educational.
However, others think everyone can dress up, too, but they have to admit that with all the things out
必修四 第三单元 第 5页 | 共 10 页 单元测试卷 必修四 第三单元 第 6页 | 共 10 页 单元测试卷
there that Rorick could do in his spare time, there’ s nothing wrong with this.
28. When did he have the idea of a photography project?
A. When he was watching a documentary.
B. When he was choosing his clothes.
C. When he played with his father.
D. When he was uploading something.
29. Which of the following can be used to describe Rorick?
A. Artistic and lonely. B. Artistic and creative.
C. Creative but unpopular. D. Popular and wealthy.
30. What does Rorick think of the photography project?
A. It takes up too much of his time.
B. It won’t attract him any more.
C. It is easy to do.
D. It has been done by other.
31. Which of the following is TRUE about Rorick’s history teacher?
A. He likes his photography project very much.
B. He thinks little of his photography project.
C. He is strong against him.
D. He thinks he is crazy.
D
A lot of us lose life’s tough battles by starting a frontal(正面的) attack—when a touch of homour
might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who hit a traffic jam on his
way to work shortly after receiving a warning of being late on the job. Although there was a good
reason for Sam’s being late— serious illness at home— he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse
wouldn’t work any longer. His manager was probably already walking up and down preparing a
dismissal(解雇) speech.
Yes, the boss was. Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room(更衣
室); everyone was hard at work. Sam’s manager came up to him. Suddenly, Sam forced a smile and
reached out his hand. “How do you do!” he said. “I’m Sam Maynard. I’m applying for a job, which, I
understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?”
The room exploded in laughter. The manager clamped off a smile and walked back to his office.
Sam Maynard had saved his job— with the only tool that could win, a laugh.
Humour is a most effective, yet frequently ignored, means of dealing with the difficult situations in
our lives. It can be used for patching up(弥补) differences, apologizing, saying “no”, criticizing, getting
the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it’s the only tool that can
succeed. It is a way to discuss topics so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel. For example,
many believe that comedians(喜剧演员) on television are doing more today for racial(种族的) and
religious problems than people in any other field.
32. Why was Sam late for his job?
A. Because he was ill.
B. Because he got up late.
C. Because he was caught in a traffic jam.
D. Because he was busy applying for a new job.
33. What’s the main idea of this passage?
A. Sam Maynard saved his job with humour.
B. Humour is important in our lives.
C. The early bird gets the worm.
D. Humour can solve racial discrimination.
34. The phrase “clamped off” in Paragraph 3 means __________.
A. tried to hold back B. tried to set
C. charged D. gave out
35. Which of the following statements can we infer from the passage?
A. Many lose life’s battles because they don’t have a sense of humour.
B. It wasn’t the first time that Sam came late for his work.
C. Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30.
D. Humour is the most effective way of solving problems.

How to communicate with parents
Hello, everyone!
I’d like to share my ideas with you about this topic. Parents are the people who love us most, so it’s necessary to keep a good
relationship with them. Here are my ideas on how to make it easier to communicate with parents.
First, we should respect and trust our parents. Don’t be rude to them if they have done something wrong. Second, if we often talk with
them about our life and experience, we will know each other better. Third, if sometimes we don’t agree with our parents’ decision, we
should try to put ourselves into their shoe and we will soon understand them.
Thank you for listening.
