第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分）
第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Amazing Scientists Who Happen to Be Teenagers
We’ve got a list of teen scientists from a variety of fields.
Jack Andraka
Jack Andraka created a biosensor for cancer that he says is 168 times faster, 26,667 times less expensive and
400 times more sensitive than technology nowadays.
He’s the youngest person to have spoken in front of the Royal Society of Medicine.
Taylor Wilson
Taylor Wilson was the youngest person to achieve nuclear fusion （核聚变）. He was inspired by The
Radioactive Boy Scout, a novel in which a kid tries and fails to build a nuclear reactor.
Taylor thought he could do better. Long story short, he wanted to build a mall nuclear reactor. And he did it at
the age of fourteen. He received a Thiel Fellowship, which gave him $100, 000 to work on his own research.
Sara Volz
Sara Volz performed experiments in which she grew algae（藻类）based on their oil output for the purpose of
growing them as biofuel. This research is especially important as the world continues to search for a way to lessen our dependence on non-renewable energy. She won the top prize of $100, 000 in the Intel Science Talent Search. Daniel Burd
Plastic usually takes thousands of years to decompose（降解）, but this high school student Daniel Burd
managed to do it in three months.
In an experiment, he mixed plastic bags and a special kind of dirt together, and found that they did decompose
faster. He then performed tests to find the bacteria responsible for decomposing the plastics.
His solution only produces water and small amounts of carbon dioxide. He says it could easily be used
elsewhere.
21. Who designed a medical instrument? A. Sara Volz.
B. Daniel Burd.
C. Jack Andraka.
D. Taylor Wilson.
22. What excited Taylor Wilson’s interest in his invention? A. A novel by a kid. C. Energy shortage.

Stories and movies often make bats into scary creatures that attack in the dark of night. In real life, however, most bats are harmless. A few are even helpful to humans.
Over 800 species or types of bats feast on troublesome insects that damage crops or spread disease. Another 400 or so bat species eat ripe fruit. These bats are very useful because they pollinate（授粉）flowers and disperse（分散）seeds. There are also a few species of larger bats that hunt small animals like mice, fish, and frogs. A very few even drink blood.
The blood drinkers are the three species of vampire bats. However, the vampire bat doesn’t suck blood. Instead, it makes a wound with its sharp teeth and then laps the blood up like a kitty. The animal victim usually sleeps through the entire process. While attacks on humans have occurred, the bats’ common targets are livestock and other animals. Interestingly, the vampire bat may become useful to humans. You see, a chemical in the bat’s saliva（唾液）thins blood and dissolves blood clots（血栓）. Studies indicate this could be a great aid in treating people with strokes. In the future, medicine may be made from vampire bats’ saliva.
Some people think bats are birds, but they’re not. They have fur, not feathers. And their babies do not hatch from eggs; they’re born alive. Also, bats have mouths and noses; birds have beaks. Scientists put them in a special mammal group called Chiroptera. 24. Most species of bats eat ___________. A. ripe fruit
B. mice and frogs
C. blood
D. insects
C. It was completed in three months.
25. Which of the following is TRUE about blood drinkers? A. Vampire bats drink blood directly.
B. Medicine has been produced from the bats’ saliva.
C. The bats’ uncommon targets are human beings.
D. A chemical in the bats is of great benefit treating heart disease. 26. What is the best title of the passage? A. Blood Drinkers. B. Amazing Bats.
C. Vampire Bats.

The Globe was built in 1599 using timber from an earlier theatre, The Theatre, which had been built by Richard Burbage’s father, James Burbage, in Shoreditch in 1576. The first performance for which a firm record remains was Jonson’s Every Man out of His Humour — with its first scene welcoming the “gracious and kind spectators”—at the end of the year.
On 29th June 1613, the Globe Theatre went up in flames during a performance of Henry VIII. A theatrical gun, set off during the performance, misfired, burning the wooden beams and straws. According to one of the few surviving documents of the event, no one was hurt except a man whose burning breeches（炮后膛）were put out with a bottle of ale. It was rebuilt in the following year.
Like all the other theatres in London, the Globe was closed down by the Puritans in 1642. It was pulled down in 1644, or slightly later—the commonly cited document dating the act to 15 April 1644 has been identified as false—to make room for other buildings.
A modern reconstruction of the theatre, named “Shakespeare’s Globe”, opened in 1997, with a production of Henry V. It is an academic approximation of the original design, based on available evidence of the 1599 and 1614 buildings, and is located approximately 750 feet (230 m) from the site of the original theatre. 27. How did the Globe Theatre begin to be on fire on 29 June 1613? A. It caught fire by accident during a play. B. It was set fire to by a performer by design. C. A man put out breeches with a bottle of ale. D. It was started by wooden beams and straws. 28. In what order is the text arranged? A. Time.
B. Space.
C. Importance.
D. Flashback.
D. Scary Creatures.
29. According to the passage all the plays were performed in the Globe Theatre EXCEPT_____. A. Henry V C. Henry VIII
B. Every Man out of His Humour
D. James Burbage
30. The passage is mainly about __________. A. the popularity of the Globe Theatre
B. the history of the Globe Theatre
