第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分 40 分）
第一节（共 15 小题：每小题 2分，满分 30 分）
A
Once upon a time, a man was walking on a mountain when he found an incredible
cave with all kinds of treasure inside it. So he gave up his job, his home, and his friends,
and spent all his time guarding the cave.
He was so dedicated to it that he hardly ate or drank, and before long he fell ill.
One day, when he could hardly move at all, he decided to share the treasure.
He crawled into the cave to get a handful of jewels, but discovered, to his horror,
that it was empty except for a small emerald ( 绿宝石). The man took it and gave it to
the first person to come by, a woman.
Then an old man came by. “What bad luck!” the man said. “Just a moment ago I
gave a woman the last of the treasure I was guarding.”
“Are you sure there is nothing left?” the old man asked.
The man took him into the cave, where they found a chest with jewels and some
bags of gold. The man was shocked, and the old man explained to him, “At last! At last!
At last someone has broken the spell of this cave. This is the Cave of Treasure, and
you’re the first to have passed its great test. Many have dedicated their lives to this cave,
only to end up realizing there was nothing here …”
“And why does this happen?” the man asked.
“This magic cave has only as many riches as your own heart. When someone
discovers it, the cave fills with the treasure they bring with them, but later, when they
have devoted themselves to guarding the treasure, their hearts become empty, as does
the cave. The only way to fill it is by filling your heart with all that is good, as you did
by giving the woman that last jewel.”
From that day on, the man understood that it was better to share than to keep.
Thanks to the cave and the old man, he became noble and generous.

C. They all filled the cave with the treasure they had.
D. They thought it was better to share than to enjoy the treasure alone.
24. What can we learn from the text?

C. Some people never learn what is really valuable.
D. Purely material things cannot make us truly wealthy.
B
Walt Disney is credited for creating such wonderful things as Donald Duck and
Mickey Mouse. However, he cannot take the credit for creating other well-loved
characters, such as Cinderella and Snow White. They are almost automatically
associated with Disney because Disney turned old fables(寓言) into cartoon movies.
The original Cinderella varies very much from the Disney version we know today.
It started off with the girl mourning her mother’s death and going to her tomb three
times a day. In addition, there were only birds that helped Cinderella; there was no such
thing as a fairy godmother or helpful mice, nor was there mention of a horse and
carriage.
The stepsisters were cruel: they always threw Cinderella’s food into the ashes of
the fire and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor, hence（因此）her name.
In the original story, the king’s ball actually lasted for three days. With the help of
the birds, the girl, beautifully dressed, danced with the prince on all three nights and the
prince fell in love with her. However, she broke away from him to rush back home each
night. On the last night, the prince placed something sticky on the stairs; as Cinderella
made her escape, a shoe got stuck on it.
Here now is where the story becomes unpleasant: when the prince went to the
house looking for the girl whose foot fit the shoe, the wicked(邪恶的) stepmother told
one of her two daughters to cut off her big toe to fit into the shoe. The daughter did as
told. So the prince took her away to be his bride. But ，when they passed the tomb of
Cinderella’s mother, the birds called out to the prince,
“Turn and peep, there’s blood within the shoe; The shoe is too small, the true bride
waits for you.”
Realizing he had been tricked, the prince returned the daughter to her mother. The
other then had to cut off part of her heel in order to fit into the shoe, with the same
result. Only Cinderella’s foot fit perfectly and so the prince chose to marry her. The
story ends with the wedding day: as Cinderella’s two stepsisters followed her,
pretending to be devoted to her so that they could enjoy the king’s riches, two birds flew
by and plucked(啄) out their eyes. Because of their wickedness and falsehood, they had
to spend the rest of their days blind.
The original Cinderella is so different from the Disney version. Thank goodness
Disney made such changes; it indeed was a wise move.
25. What dose the underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refer to?
A. Such wonderful things. B. Other well-loved characters.
C. Old fables. D. Cartoon movies.
26. How did Cinderella get her name?
A. The birds came up with it. B. It was given by Disney.
C. It came from the word “ash”. D. She got it from her mother.
27. Which of the following is TRUE according to the original story?
A. Helpful mice got Cinderella a beautiful dress.
B. The ball was held to celebrate the prince’s wedding.
C. Cinderella left her shoe on the stairs on purpose.
D. The birds told the prince that he had been cheated.
28. The moral of the original story is that ____________.
A. a wicked person cannot escape punishment.
B. a devoted person certainly deserves respect.
C. a well-behaved child earns a great reward.
D. a dishonest child cannot get mother love.
29. What does the author think of the Disney version?
A.Excellent. B. Ordinary C. Dull. D. Ridiculous.
C
The elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep. A few dogs started barking
at it. The elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where
they ran for safety.
That didn't stop the elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several
people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then someone suggested calling Parbati,
the elephant princess.
Parbati Barua's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. He taught
Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous
art of the elephant round-up -- how to catch wild elephants.
Parbati hasn't always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her
father, she was sent to boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being
there and many years later she went back to her old life. "Life in the city is too dull.
Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase,"
she says.
But Parbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun. "My work," she says, "is to rescue
man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man. " And this is exactly
what Parbati has been doing for many years. Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry:
for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been
reduced to small pieces of land. It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter
a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before
they can kill.
The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant
tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant.
"Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them. They are also more
