四、阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
When I was three, the most children I made friends with were about three or four. But I was shy and didn’t join in activities. Even in preschool, I tried to avoid the groups at play. I just didn’t fit in. But I kept on smiling and trying to be friendly.
The adults in my life were more easily understood than my peers (同龄人). I couldn’t understand why none of them lived up to the adult standards. Manners, vocabulary, reading... all of these meant nothing to them. They were children. At that point, I wasn’t any more.
I started kindergarten (幼儿园) knowing how to count to 100 and how to read. But even though I was far ahead of some of the other children, I was no perfect student. I was excited by all the friends I could make. But soon I discovered that I was hurt easily by their words. I made friends, but I didn’t keep them, and eventually, I was left alone. I sat alone, trying to keep happy and pretending that I didn’t need anyone else to be happy.
My parents loved me. I know they did. My mom became the main earner when I was very young. My dad also worked hard, but he didn’t get paid quite well. But I don’t understand why I’d always been left to my own toys as a child. I explored the world in my own way, which gave me loneliness. The loneliness would invade (入侵) my body and pull me down to the floor, making me cry and bite myself. My life was damaged by the loneliness for years. Unlike other children at my age, I really didn’t have a friend to spend time with. So I made them in my head.
The loneliness still controls me now. It’s the reason I was diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder (被诊断患有分离性身份识别障碍) (DID). At times, I feel the choking and biting, and I know it’s the younger me reminding me I still have a lot to move beyond.
41．What can we know about the young author from the first paragraph?

C．He didn’t like to take part in activities. D．He liked to play with his peers very much.

Could cities that float (漂浮) on the sea solve the problems caused by floods (洪水) and provide food for the world?
Some scientists think so. The idea is already being tested and they believe that floating cities will provide more homes for a growing population, without having to use land needed to grow food. And they believe floating areas will allow more food to be grown, so that no one in the world is hungry.
In some places, cities that float on the sea are already being planned. A company in the Netherlands called DeltaSync thinks that the sea cities will save the world, with more than one in ten people living in them.
They say sea cities solve many problems the world faces in the 21st century, like not having enough land, more and more people needing homes, fossil fuels (矿物燃料) running low and the increasingly serious problems caused by floods.
DeltaSync says building in the desert (沙漠) is not possible because there is not enough water and that developing ways for people to live in space is still too expensive. So they believe the answer is our oceans, which cover over two thirds of the Earth’s surface. Their plans for floating areas include using algae (海藻) to produce fuel and food.
More than a quarter of the land in the Netherlands already lies underwater and scientists there have spent years trying to find ways to deal with it. In the city of Rotterdam they already have floating homes.
Bart Roeffen from DeltaSync says:“We have plans for neighbourhoods including roads and, in the end, I believe we can build floating cities on the sea.”
46．DeltaSync is a company that wants to build cities ________.
A．on land B．in space
C．on the sea D．in the desert
47．Which of the following is the advantage of the cities that DeltaSync wants to build?
A．Providing more jobs for people.
B．Making travel in space possible.
C．Supplying enough water to people.
D．Satisfying more people’s housing needs.
48．What can we learn about the Netherlands?
A．Its population is increasing quickly.
B．It has found many fossil fuels recently.
C．Two thirds of its land is covered by water.
D．There are floating homes in one of its cities.
49．What does Bart Roeffen think of his company’s future plans?
A．He doubts them. B．He is hopeful of them.
C．He is uncertain about them. D．He has no idea about them.
50．What is the best title for the passage?
A．Will there be enough water?
B. Will sea cities save the world?
C. Is it possible to live in the desert?
D. Is it expensive to build floating cities?
C
Growing mushrooms (蘑菇) is probably the easiest thing you can do if you are new to mushroom growing. Mushroom growing is becoming more and more common as restaurants are creating more dishes that include mushrooms.
Mushroom growing is easy. To start with you need to have a growing space where you are going to grow these mushrooms. It does not have to be too big but it should be big enough for you to grow as many mushrooms as you need. When you have found the space that is perfect for you, you can start to research what kind of mushrooms you want to grow. There are hundreds of kinds to choose from but not all mushrooms are edible, which is an important fact you need to remember before you start. Don’t grow mushrooms you can’t use or sell.
When you figure (计算) out what kind of mushrooms you want to grow, you can make some preparations. Sometimes you need to hire some workers to help you if you have a large mushroom farm, or if you are trying to start a professional mushroom growing business. Trying to start a business by yourself can be stressful. If you don’t have time to take care of everything yourself, to hire a worker is the best bet.
After you have started the mushroom growing, you should regularly check and make sure that your mushrooms are growing properly and that they are not being attacked by any pesticides (杀虫剂) or any other animals that are potentially dangerous for them. That is the worst situation of mushroom growing. Protect your mushroom farm well with a fence or a gate so that only you and your workers can get in and out.
Mushroom growing is not difficult and is a real easy way to get started in the field of farming. You will possibly supply some of the great chefs (厨师) of the world with high-quality mushrooms that will be enjoyed by thousands of people around the world.
51．Many people are beginning to plant mushrooms probably because_______.
A．they are in great need B．they look very beautiful
C．there are more restaurants D．they are too common
52．The underlined word “edible” (in paragraph 2) probably means “_________”.
A．easy to find B．expensive to buy
C．suitable to eat D．difficult to grow
53．Which of the following is the right order of planting mushrooms?
a．Choose the suitable mushrooms.
b．Protect your mushrooms well.
c．Find some people to help you.
d．Start to grow mushrooms.
e． Find a place to plant mushrooms.
A. b, d, a, e, c B. e, a, c, d, b C. c, a, d, b, e D. d, c, b, a, d
54．Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?
A．It is easy to grow mushrooms B．You should hire other people to help you
C．Growing mushrooms is not easy D．Tips(提示) for mushrooms growing
55．Who would like to read this passage most?
A．Workers. B．Students. C．Farmers. D．Teachers.
D
Living away from your country can be a really interesting and unforgettable experience, but meanwhile it has very important effects on one’s life.
The major effect is that once you start a regular life away from home, you miss everything. This fact doesn't mean that you are unhappy but that you are aware of being on your own. Missing your family is a very unusual thing to do. Little details like sitting on a Sunday morning and watching TV alone instead of having a nice chat with your mom may make you realize how valuable your family really is. It is also completely acceptable to miss all the facilities you used to have back at home, like your house, and your bathroom. It’s obvious then that you have started to appreciate everything you had back where you belong．
The second main effect would be learning how to accept another type of society and culture into your daily life. Since you are living in a place with different customs and traditions from yours, you have to be able to develop yourself in unknown conditions. Therefore, you’ll be able to achieve true knowledge. Suggesting changing your mind totally would be foolish; the best thing to do would be to stick to your most important values （价值观） and, according to them, change those that you believe could be improved.
The most significant effect of living away from home is the independent behavior that grows inside of you. Living on your own far from your family gives you a lot of experiences toward organizing your life. Since it is up to you to go to work or school, clean your room, and organize your expenses, it is predictable that you will have a good and strong sense of responsibility.
Living far from home, even for a short period of time, can be really hard at the beginning. We have to remember that all changes are difficult, but it is necessary to go through them to build our character.
56．While living away from home, you can do all of the following EXCEPT ____．
A．build up a sense of responsibility
B．experience another type of society
C．become more independent ’
D．be proud of yourself
57．According to the passage, how can you have a sense of responsibility by living far away from home?
A．You’ll appreciate everything you had back where you belong.
B．You would think about common things that happened to you.
C．You’ll have to arrange everything by yourself.
D．You will change your mind entirely.
58．We can infer from paragraph 3 that _______.
A．living abroad will get a more thorough understanding of your own values
B．you will have to accept completely different values
C．it will be unwise to stick to your beliefs about what an important life is
D．you will not necessarily adapt to(适应) another type of society and culture
59．What does the underlined words "facilities" mean in paragraph 2?
A．service B．equipment C．friends D．activities
60．What’s the author’s attitude towards living far away from home?
A．approving B negative（否定的）
C．objective (客观的) D．worried

Online Shopping Experience Sharing
By Koay & Ling
Want to go out shopping but afraid of traffic jam on the road? You can always go for a second choice, which is to sit at home and wait for delivery (投递). Consumers can buy the products or services they like from any parts of the world. I would like to share one of my online shopping experiences. One of my experiences that I would love to share is online purchasing (购买) of air ticket from Air Asia.com. Previously, when I was still studying at University Malaysia Sabah, I was very new to the environment and without experience; I would go to the counter (柜台) at the airport in order to purchase the air ticket. One glory morning, I saw an advertisement in newspaper showing that Air Asia launched a new promotion（(促销) . An air ticket was only RM9.99!! I was so excited and rushed to the airport to get the promotion ticket. But the Air Asia staff told me the promotion was only valid（有效） for online purchasing and if I buy from counter in airport, the price will be RM59.99. So I hurried back and got the “lucky” ticket. So by doing online shopping, we can get a lot of benefits such as convenience, time saving, and more variety of choices and so on. And the important thing is the price for online purchasing is cheaper than traditional shopping. Thus, we should do more online shopping!!!

26 B 根据上下文的内容可知，这里表示袋里装着马铃薯，故选containing。contain意为“包含，容纳”。Store “贮藏”，pack“包装”，attach“把……固定”，均不符合题意。
27D 根据上下文的“the name of the people”可知，只有选项D符合题意。
28A 根据上下文的“...______ on how many people...”和“Some had 2 potatoes; some 3 while some up to 5 potatoes.”可知答案为A。
29C 根据上下文的语境可知，这里考查短语depend on“取决于，由……决定”，所以选C。
30B 根据前面的“The teacher then told the children to carry with them the potatoes in the plastic bag wherever they go”，即老师要求孩子们无论去哪里都要带上装着马铃薯的塑料袋，并运用逻辑推断可知，这里表示递进关系，所以选B符合题意。
31B根据常识可知，“the rotten potatoes”，即腐烂的马铃薯所发出的气味肯定是难闻的，所以只有B选项符合题意。
32A根据前文的happy，并结合连词and可知，此处是并列关系，表示这些孩子们觉得开心和放松，所以答案为A。
33C结合上下文的语境和句意可知，这里是老师在问孩子们事后的感受，所以选C符合题意。
34B根据后面的“having to carry the 10 and smelly potatoes whereever they go”可知，无论去哪里都带着难闻的马铃薯对他们来说是困难的，选项B符合题意。
35D根据前文中的“heavier bags”可知选项D符合题意。
36B根据上下文的语境并运用常识可推断出，此处表示老师给孩子们揭示这次游戏背后所隐藏的意义，所以答案为B。
37A结合上下文的内容可知，此处表示这正是这种情形，所以答案为A。
38D根据上下文的内容，并运用逻辑推断可知，一个人的心中总装着对别人的憎恨，会对自己有很大的影响，所以答案为D。
39C上文提到游戏结束，孩子们如释重负，带着那些发出难闻的气味的马铃薯一个星期，他们受够了。根据常识可知，选项C符合题意。
40B根据前面一句“If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten potatoes for just 1 week”，并运用逻辑推断可知，此处表示你能想象出一辈子心中充满对别人的憎恨这种令人不快的感受会是怎样的呢？故答案为B。

Online Shopping
The passage tells us one of the experiences of Internet shopping by the author, who benefited from online shopping and got the much cheaper ticket compared to traditional shopping.
With the Internet entering our daily life, online shopping is commonly used throughout the world nowadays. There are many advantages in online shopping. Internet shopping offers a number of benefits for the shoppers. The most important advantage is convenience. You can shop when you like as the online shop are open 24 hours a day and you do not have to queue with other shoppers. Secondly, it is easy to find what you are looking for online. However, every coin has two sides, so does Internet shopping. The main disadvantage of Internet shopping is that you cannot actually see the products you are buying or check their quality. Some people are also worried about paying for goods using credit cards.
As far as I am concerned, Internet shopping has advantages over disadvantages. It is very convenient, time saving and user friendly and online shopping is much cheaper and more secured than before.
