第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）
第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
When I started school, my hands kept shaking. I went to a doctor and was told that I had a nervous system disorder that can cause a person's hands to shake. I had no idea what I was going to do. One day, I saw a woodcock outside my apartment window, and I had never seen anything like it. So I read about the bird online and took an ornithology (鸟类学) class. The professor asked me if I was doing research. I had no idea that undergraduates could even do anything like that. That professor became my undergraduate advisor, and I started working in her lab. She was also my PhD advisor. I stayed in her lab for 11 years.
Now I have a paper coming out soon that looks at the global diversity (多样性) of parrots (鹦鹉). One figure in it is, I think, the best thing I've ever done. It shows the family tree of parrots, over a picture of Gondwana breaking up. Gondwana is the supercontinent that South America, Africa, Australia and New Zealand all used to be part of. As that broke up into the continents that we know better now, some families of parrots parted.
My biggest failure in science thus far is my inability to explain how the Carolina parakeet went extinct. I've been working on this for seven years. I've read lots of historical books and travel diaries. And I never figured it out.
That's the thing about science. Most of the time, you start out with a really clear idea of what you think is going to happen. And it almost never happens that way. I've got a lot out of this research. I've learned a lot about the species. But there are just some things that we'll never know. Finally, I have to accept that maybe I'll figure it out one day, maybe I won't. But that's OK.
21. What made the author take up ornithology research
A. The doctor's words.
B. The help of a professor.
C. The beauty of a woodcock.
D. The difficulty of finding a job.
22. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. The bird.
B. The failure.
C. The extinction.
D. The travel diary.
23. What does the author think of this research
A. It is costly.
B. It is worth doing.
C. It is discouraging.
D. It is easy to carry out.
B
When is a kid not a kid anymore If you asked my 12-year-old daughter, the magical age would be 13, when you can no longer be considered a “child.” If you asked my 15-year-old niece, the age would be 16, when she will be able to drive a car and get an after-school job. According to the U. S. government, a child officially becomes an adult when they turn 18. That's when they can vote. But even though an 18-year-old starts paying taxes, the government does not consider that person mature enough to buy a beer. Still, even a kid who can buy a beer is not old enough to rent a car.
Scientists have learned from a new study that when kids are around 18, their prefrontal cortex, which helps control impulses ( 冲动), solve problems, and organize behavior, is only halfway developed. That's not to say that kids in their late teens and early 20s can't take on these tasks, but it means that it's harder for them to do so — at least until around age 25 or so when this area of the brain fully develops.
“What we're really saying is that to have a definition (定义) of when you move from childhood to adulthood looks absurd,” Peter Jones from the University of Cambridge said. “It's a much more nuanced (微妙的) change that takes place over thirty years.”
This isn't a news flash for parents who have watched their teens take crazy risks while seeming unable to get their lives together until they're older. But this information throws new light on the way kids without as much support are treated. In the foster (寄养的) care system, once a child turns 18, he can no longer receive state-backed support. And many people think this is too early for a teen to be on his own, especially a teen who has experienced a painful childhood. Because of this, some foster care advocates (提倡者) think it makes more sense for 25 to be the new legal age of adulthood.
24. What does the author want to show us in Paragraph 1
A. Different age groups have different needs.
B. Becoming an adult means you can do a lot of things.
C. People have different opinions on becoming an adult.
D. Children need to learn basic life skills to become an adult.
25. What might be the purpose of the study
A. To explain why teenagers are at risk.
B. To suggest a way of helping teenagers develop.
C. To explore the characteristics of different age groups.
D. To discover when the human brain is fully developed.
26. What does the underlined word “absurd” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Impossible.
B. Invaluable.
C. Unreasonable.
D. Uninteresting.
27. What influence may the study have
A. It may inspire teens to be independent.
B. It may allow a 20-year-old to get government support.
C. It may drive the government to protect the foster care system.
D. It may encourage parents to stop supporting their children at college.
C
Like most parents my age, I have memories of childhood so different from the way my children are growing up. I grew up on a block of six-story apartment buildings in Queens, New York. In my primary school years, my friends and I spent a lot of afternoons playing cops and robbers (警察抓小偷). Once, when I was about 9, my friend Kim and I “locked” a couple of younger kids in an imaginary prison. Then Kim and I got hungry and walked over to a restaurant and forgot all about them. When we got back an hour later, they were still standing in the same spot. They never jumped over the gate even though they easily could have; their parents never came looking for them. A couple of them were upset, but back then, the code (法则) between kids ruled. We'd told them they were in prison, so they stayed in prison. A parent's opinion would have been unimportant.
I used to puzzle over it: even though women work more hours now than they did in the 1970s, mothers spend much more time with their children than they used to. My mother didn't work all that much when I was younger, but she didn't spend great amounts of time with me, either. She didn't arrange (安排) my play dates or drive me to swimming lessons. On weekdays after school she just expected me to show up for dinner; on weekends I seldom saw her at all. When my daughter was about 10, my husband suddenly realized that in her whole life, she had probably not spent more than 10 minutes unattended by us, teachers or grandparents.
Actions that would have been considered paranoid (多疑的) in the 1970s — walking third-graders to school, preventing your kid from playing ball in the street — are now common. In fact, they are the markers of good, responsible parenting. When you ask parents why they are more protective than their parents were, they might answer that the world is more dangerous than it was when they were growing up. But this isn't true. Parents' fears are putting kids in a situation where they can't grow up. Parents need to let go of their kids.
28. Why did the younger kids stay still in the imaginary prison
A. They found it hard to get out.
B. They were too happy to leave.
C. They wanted to play a fair game.
D. They waited for their parents to save them.
29. What was the author's mother like in the 1970s
A. She spent less time with her kids than people do now.
B. She encouraged the author to play more.
C. She was the author's good company.
D. She worked very hard every day.
30. What did people think of parents walking kids to school in the 1970s
A. They were overly worried.
B. They helped kids grow up.
C. They were responsible parents.
D. They had nothing more important to do.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
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。
For most people, it is clear: When you are a kid and you're sick, you go to the doctor. As you get older, you work with new doctors who treat adults.
31 I am 30 years old, and I am still a patient at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford. My conditions are so bad that they require the care of specialists who have been with me since early childhood. Beyond my medical care, these specialists have been supporting me in a bigger way: 32
I was born with a birth defect (先天性缺陷), which led to frequent hospitalization throughout my childhood. After my mom's death, I was placed in foster care (寄养照管). 33 This experience taught me to advocate for (支持) myself and to ask questions so I could be part of the decisions for my own care.
My nurses and doctors were concerned about my lack of parental support, so they gave me what felt like a family. 34 But I always came back to my doctors at Packard Children's. They were able to treat my complexities. Also, I've always felt this was a place where my voice was respected.
Thanks to the care I received at Packard Children's, I was inspired to become a nurse.
I've paved the way for myself, and I hope that through my work as a nurse I will be able to pay forward the care I've experienced throughout my life. I've always said, “ 35 ”
A. I had a similar experience.
B. They have become my family.
C. If you can't beat them, join them.
D. For me, however, this hasn't been the case.
E. When I was in my twenties, I started to see adult specialists.
F. You can't always control what you are given in life, but you can control what you do with it.
G. I'd hear other families comforting their children as I sat alone, with only machines beside me.

Any kid would be lucky to have a brother as thoughtful as Christian Hamerter.
Not only is the 18-year-old from Georgia a 36 role model to his sister Skylar, but he would also do anything to make her 37 . That was why he made sure the 7-year-old had a 38 time at her father-daughter dance.
In the days leading up to the dance, it was all Skylar could 39 . Her mom Trelysia, on the other hand, was growing more and more 40 . Although Skylar's dad had 41 to be there, he didn't 42 at last year's dance. He was always 43 with his work and he went abroad last year, so Trelysia couldn't make sure that he would 44 .
The big day was approaching. 45 , Trelysia was right to be anxious. On that day, Skylar was rather 46 when her dad didn't show up.
“She cried 47 she had her heart set on going,” her mom wrote. “I felt so bad because there was 48 I could do.”
That was when Christian appeared!
“Her big brother stepped in and said he'd 49 her because he wanted his sister to know that she deserved a man capable of 50 his word and making her feel special. We were all very 51 ,” Trelysia said. “I know that I'm raising someone a 52 husband one day.”
While Skylar missed her dad, she had great fun 53 with Christian! Even better, now she knows she can always 54 him, which brings their proud mom plenty of joy.
We have no doubt Christian will grow up to be a kind man — and an amazing father! After all, he's already 55 himself to be one of the world's best brothers.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I found myself dealing with worries right before the new school year started.
My neighbor Ollie and I were skateboarding in the park when we happened to see some kids from my school.
“I wish summer wasn't ending,” said Rose. “But at least I'll be in Ms. Ramirez's class. My brother had her last year. She's so nice.”
“I got Mr. Nishimoto,” said Jack. “I've heard he brings his guitar and plays funny songs.”
“I'd love to have a singing teacher!” I said. “I have Ms. Newman, and I know nothing about her.”
“Oh no!” said Alex. “I'm sure she's the one people call the mean, green homework machine.”
“I don't listen to rumors (谣言),” I said with a smile. But part of me thought, “What if what Alex said is true ” And that's when the worry button got pushed in my brain. And as you know, once the worry button gets pushed, one worry can turn into lots and lots of worries surprisingly quickly.
That night, I had a wild dream. I was searching for my perfect first-day-of-school suit (套装), but a hungry goat got to it first and ate it up. So I was stuck wearing the only thing left in my house — a swimsuit.
So how does someone wearing a swimsuit get to school By swimming, of course. And since swimming through the busy streets of San Francisco isn't easy, I arrived at school really late. By the time I made it to my classroom, it was almost lunchtime.
“You're late!” shouted a terrible green monster (怪兽). “Now you'll have to do ten times as much homework! Every night, forever!”
I woke up with my heart racing.
That afternoon, Ollie's grandma, Abuela, asked if I was looking forward to school starting.
“Um, not exactly,” I said. And I started describing my frightening dream. The more I described it, the sillier it sounded. By the end of my story, Ollie, Abuela, and I were laughing so hard that we could hardly catch our breath.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

One possible version:
Dear Judy，
Thanks for the invitation to your coming-of-age ceremony on September 18th.
I know celebrating Coming-of-Age Day is a significant event in one's life but I have never attended one. Thank you for giving me this chance and I'd love to come. Congratulations in advance! You'll no longer be a child but an adult!
Please let me know if there's anything I can bring or I can do to help. And does the party have a dress code
Thanks again, and see you on the 18th.
Yours,
Li Hua
读后续写
One possible version：
Abuela said she thought there might be some information about the teachers on our school's website. She suggested I do a little research. On the website, we finally found a picture of Ms. Newman, who was actually a smiling human, not a terrible monster. Beside her photo was a description of her hobbies and her pet dog. The minute I learned some facts about my new teacher was the minute my worry button finally switched off.
Abuela also suggested I make a list of my worries, and that helped too. Being able to see my worries on paper made it much easier to talk about them and to plan ahead. I realized I needed to prepare something for my school a few days early. I also made sure I knew exactly when the school bus would arrive, and I printed out a map of the school with directions to my new classroom. And I was sure my school life was going to be just fine once I got used to it.

本文是记叙文。作者讲述了自己从事鸟类研究的经历。

B篇
主题语境：人与社会——社会
本文是说明文。新的研究表明，人的大脑在25岁左右才能发育完全，因此有些人认为法定的成年年龄或许应该延后。

25. D。推理判断题。根据第二段中的研究发现可知，这项研究的目的是了解人类的大脑何时能发育完全。
26. C。词义猜测题。根据划线词后面的It's a much more nuanced change that takes place over thirty years可知，从儿童到成人的变化很微妙，想要给“何时成年”一个清晰的定义是“荒谬的，不合理的”。
27. B。推理判断题。根据最后一段中的In the foster care system, once a child turns 18, he can no longer receive state-backed support和Because of this, some foster care advocates think it makes more sense for 25 to be the new legal age of adulthood可知，这一研究为寄养系统延长资助时间提供了理论依据。
C篇
主题语境：人与社会——社会
本文是夹叙夹议文。文章论述了现在的父母比以前的父母更趋向于掌控孩子的成长。

30. A。推理判断题。根据第三段中的Actions that would have been considered paranoid in the 1970s — walking third-graders to school, preventing your kid from playing ball in the street — are now common可知，70年代的父母如果送孩子上学会被认为是担忧过度。
第二节
主题语境：人与自我——生活与学习
本文是记叙文。文章讲述了一个有先天缺陷的孩子如何成长并回馈社会的故事。

34. E。根据下一句中的But可知，前后两句之间为转折关系，E项提到作者长大后，开始看成人医生，这与下一句“但是‘我’却依然常常回到儿童医院看自己的儿童医生”是转折关系，符合此处语境。
35. F。根据上一句I've paved the way for myself, and I hope that through my work as a nurse I will be able to pay forward the care I've experienced throughout my life以及上文中的advocate for myself and to ask questions so I could be part of the decisions for my own care可知，作者没有因为遇到的苦难而沮丧，反而主动为自己铺路，希望通过当护士来回报自己得到的照顾，故F项“你不能控制生活带给你的遭遇，但是你能决定如何面对它”符合此处语境。

主题语境：人与社会——文学、艺术
本文是说明文。文章简要介绍了Mark Osborne导演的动画电影《小王子》。
56. has been translated。考查现在完成时的被动语态。根据设空处后面的since it was first published in 1943可知，主句用现在完成时，又因主语“Le Petit Prince”与谓语动词translate之间是被动关系，故填has been translated。
57. director。考查名词。设空处是主语Mark Osborne的同位语，前面有定冠词the，故填director。
58. to say。考查不定式作定语。设空处作后置定语修饰something new，故填to say。
59. who。考查关系代词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，补充说明前面的the Little Girl，并在从句中作主语，故填who。
60. planned。考查动词-ed形式作补语。plan与her entire summer vacation为逻辑上的动宾关系，have sth. done表示“完成某事”，故填planned。
61. the。考查冠词。由设空处后面的same可知应填the。
62. tells。考查一般现在时。该句是对电影情节的介绍，应用一般现在时，再由其主语The Aviator，即上一段提到的her neighbor可知，应填tells。
63. strongly。考查副词。设空处作状语，修饰谓语，故填strongly。
64. to。考查介词。be familiar to是固定搭配，表示“为……所熟知”，故填to。
65. making。考查动词-ing形式作状语。设空处与后面的the journey worthwhile一起作结果状语，且为顺其自然的结果，故填making。
