20、：阅读理解（共 25 题，每小题 2 分，满分 50 分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AOn the island of New Zealand, there is a grasshopper-like species of insect that is found nowhere else on earth. New Zealanders have given it the nickname weta, which is a native Maori word meaning “god of bad looks”. Its easy to
21、see why anyone would call this insect a bad-looking bug. Most people feel disgusted at the sight of these bulky(笨重的) ， slow-moving creatures.Wetas are natural creatures; they come out of their caves and holes only after dark. A gaint weta can grow to over three inches long and weigh as much as 1.5 o
22、unces. Giant wetas can hop up to two feet at a time. Some of them live in trees, and others live in caves. They are very long-lived for insects, and some adult wetas can live as long as two years. Just like their cousins grasshoppers and crickets, wetas are able to “sing” by rubbing their leg parts
23、together, or against their lower bodies.Most people probably dont feel sympathy for these endangered creatures, but they do need protecting. The slow and clumsy wetas have been around on the island since the times of the dinosaurs, and have evolved and survived in an environment where they had no en
24、emies until rats came to the island with European immigrants. Since rats love to hunt and eat wetas, the rat population on the island has grown into a real problem for many of the native species that are unaccustomed to its presence, and poses a serious threat to the native weta population.41.Accord
25、ing to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The weta is a newly discovered insect species.B. The Maoris nicknamed themselves “Wetas”.C. The Europeans brought wetas to New Zealand.D. Wetas are unpleasant to the eye. 42.The strange thing about wetas is that they can produce pleasa
26、nt sounds by _.A. rubbing their body partsB. moving slowly on the groundC. hopping up to two feel at a timeD. coming out only at night 43. Which of the following descriptions of wetas is accurate?A. They are quick in movement. B. They are decreasing in number.C. They are very active in the daytime.D
27、. They have a short lifespan for insects.44. The underlined word “its” in the last paragraph is the closest in meaning to “_”.A. The dinosaurs B. The wetas C. The islands D. The rats45. From which of the following is the passage LEAST likely to be taken?A. A science magazine. B. A travel guide. C. A
28、 business journal. D. biology textbook.B“Have a nice day” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me we
29、ll. “Have a nice day. Next!” The version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words came out in the same tone ( 腔调 ) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else
30、s is the managements attempt to increase business.页 4 第The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we dont know what
31、 to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? Im terribly sorry, but have a nice day”The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you dont know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is insincere, meaning
32、less social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, its nice to know th
33、ey care enough to pretend they care when they really dont care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.46. How does the author understand Maxies words? A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author. B.

36、agingly50. What is the best title of the passage?A. Have a Nice Daya Polite Ending of a ConversationB. Have a Nice Daya Pleasant GestureC. Have a Nice Daya Heart-warming GreetingD. Have a Nice Daya Social CustomCAs any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far mor
37、e to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more.Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping(录像) the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk act
38、ively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the childrens IQ
39、scores,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is.”The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings(兄弟姐妹 ). Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation
40、is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “Middle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are its the middle child.” There is, however, one t
41、hing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is a non-event.”51The writers purpose in writing the text is to _.A. report on the findings of a studyB. teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner tableC. show the relationship b
42、etween parents and childrenD. give information about family problems页 5 第52Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner because _.A. they are busy serving food to their childrenB. they are tired out having prepared food for the whole familyC. they have to pay more attention to younger c

44、ast attention from the family54Lewis research provides an answer to the question _.A. why TV is important in family lifeB. why middle children seem to have more difficulties in lifeC. why children in small families seem to be quieterD. why parents should keep good order55Which of the following state

It is important to have the right food for children.D. Elder children should help the younger ones at dinnerDAustralia has passed regulations that will
46、enable more international students to further their education in the country.The new measures were released by the Australian Department of Tertiary Education, Skills, Jobs and Workplace Relations in September and will take effect in mid-2012.As a result, the student visa application process for ove
47、rseas students has been simplified, and the deposit (押金) required to study in Australia has been reduced.
