第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）

第一节（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

The earth is not the only body that travels around the sun. Alongside are eight other planets， fellow members of the suns family.

Two of them， Mercury and Venus， are nearer while the other six， namely Mars， Jupiter， Saturn， Uranus， Neptune， and Pluto， also in their given order from the sun， are farther from the sun than the earth is. The farther they are， the longer trips they make around the sun.People noticed long ago that these traveling bodies moved around in the sky in definite paths. It is a force called gravity （重力） that holds them in their paths.

We know that every bit of matter in the universe pulls upon every other bit of matter. The pull between two bodies is proportional （成比例的） to the product of their masses. Because the sun is so large， the pull between the sun and the planets is thus great. If it were not for this pull， the planets would fly off into space. In the same way there exists a pull between the earth and the moon， which keeps the moon traveling in its orbit around our planet， the earth. Gravity holds you to its surface and pulls back to it the ball which you throw into the air. Of course the ball also pulls on the larger earth but the earth is so much larger that the pull is not noticed.

Now remember that large bodies exert （产生） a greater pull than smaller ones which contain less material. But each object in the universe， no matter how small， pulls on all other objects to some degree.

21. How many planets travel around the sun in the suns family？

A. Nine. B. Eight. C. Seven. D. Six.

22. Which of the following statements is TRUE？

A. The planets travel in their own ways disorderly.

B. The earth is the nearest to the sun among the planets.

C. The earth makes the third shortest trip around the sun.

D. The earth is farther from the sun than any other planets.

23. Which two planets make the shortest trips around the sun among all the planets？

A. Mercury and Venus. B. Neptune and Pluto. C. Saturn and Uranus. D. Mars and Jupiter.

24. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4？

A. The pull between the sun and the moon is greater than that between the sun and the earth.

B. The pull between the sun and the earth is the same as that between the earth and the moon.

C. The pull between the sun and the earth is greater than that between the earth and the moon.

D. The pull between the earth and the moon is greater than that between the sun and the earth.

25. What can we learn from the passage？

A. Small objects cant exert a pull on big objects.

B. Each object in the universe exerts a pull on all other objects.

C. Large objects exert the same pull on anybody as small objects.

D. All the objects， big or small， exert the same pull on one another.

B

What is language for？ Some people seem to think its for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words—the longer the lists， the better. Thats wrong. Language is for the exchange of ideas and information. Its meaningless to know all about a language if you cant use it freely.

Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules， but they cant speak correctly or fluently. They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldnt be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules， too. Bernard Shaw once wrote， “Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. Theyre English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule， it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right.

People not only make history， but also make language. But a people can only make its own language. It cant make another peoples language. So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar， but they shouldnt overdo （做过头） it. They should put communication （交际） first.

26. According to author， language should be learned to ____.

A. express oneself B. learn lists of words C. practice grammar rules D. talk with foreigners only

27. When we learn a foreign language， we should ____.

A. speak our native language B. focus on grammar rules mostly

C. pay attention to the words in the textbook D. not be afraid of making mistakes when using it

28. The underlined sentence means that foreigners speak ____.

A. correct English B. incorrect English

C. English with many mistakes D. English according to the grammar rules exactly

29. If too many native speakers break a rule， ____.

A. they have made a new rule then B. they just make mistakes like foreigners

C. they have made history D. they want to make their mistakes different

30. Which of the following statements is true according to the writer？

A. The more words one learns the better ones language is.

B. Communication comes before mastering grammar rules.

C. Mistakes are the worst enemy when one is learning a language.

D. Language fluency is based on the amount of phrases one learns.
