Basel 2.     I could not hear what was going on on the other end of the phone,  but it was making her cry,  and I was crying too.    When I was younger,  I used to watch my mum get ready for work in the morning,  tracing the line of her lashes with eyeliner,  putting on blouses and heels. She said that she liked how it made her feel.I saw her as somebody who would always be there to protect me,  who was capable of anything.    The phone call in question was one that she had been waiting on for a few weeks:  the final diagnosis（诊断）of her breast cancer.    The process of treatment was slow and _. After the treatment, all her hair thinned, and she wore false eyelashes some days and penciled in the gaps in her eyebrows. My mother, who would never take naps or sleep past eight in the morning, was suddenly so exhausted by being awake that she would sometimes stay in bed for the whole day. Actually after the surgery, she felt too painful and weak to lift a gallon of milk.    She once asked me if I was glad to be aware of her illness. I spent the majority of the year of her treatment worrying but I told my mother that I was glad to have had the privilege of worrying.    Before my 13th birthday, I'd always considered a birthday to have fun and the joy of becoming a year older. Seeing my mom for the first time after surgery was the end of that. That isn't to say that she had changed fundamentally; my mother was still beautiful and kind and incredibly strong, but the person that she was no longer tied to my ideas of her.    Growing up and beginning to see your parents as people are inseparable processes. That birthday was the turning point of a year that forced me to begin to see my mother as a person,  someone whole and real. （1）According to Paragraph 1， what most probably made the author cry？_A.Mom's tears.B.Breast cancer.C.The caller.D.Lack of attention. （2）The author used to think of her mom as a/an_.A.patientB.housewifeC.superheroD.ordinary being （3）What does the underlined word "hellish" in Paragraph 4 mean？_A.Extremely unpleasant.B.Totally comfortable.C.Especially attractive.D.Slightly different. （4）What can we learn from the passage？_A.Every man has its price.B.A miss is as good as a mile.C.Misfortune promotes growth.D.A close mouth catches no flies. 3.     The New York Times states that cheerleading is the fastest growing girls' sport,  yet more than half of Americans do not believe it is a sport,     A sport,  according to the Association of Cheerleading Coaches and Advisors,  is a "physical activity against/with an the opponent（对手）, governed by rules and conditions under which a winner is declared,  and the primary purpose of the competition is a comparison of the relative skills of the participants". Because cheerleading follows these guidelines,  it is a sport.    Cheerleading includes lots of physical activity. Like gymnasts,  cheerleaders must learn to perform lifts and tosses. This is where the "fliers" are thrown in the air,  held by "bases" in different positions that require strength and cooperation with other teammates.    Cheerleaders' goal is to be the best. Just like gymnasts, they are awarded points for difficulty, technique, creativity and sharpness. The more difficult the motions,  the better the score. Cheerleading is a team sport,  so without cooperation,  first place is out of reach.    So why do many Americans not think cheerleading is a sport? Some people argue that cheerleaders are just "flirts（摆动）in skirts" with their only job to entertain the crowd, but cheerleaders today compete against other teams and work just as hard as other athletes.    Cheerleading is a sport. It is a physical activity that is governed by rules under which a winner can be declared and its primary purpose is to compare the skills of participants. Hopefully, cheerleading will become as wellknown a sport as football and basketball, and even appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports. （1）Which of the followings are the key elements of a sport？_a. rules b. audiences c. skills d. competitions e. ballsA. abed.B. acd.C. acde.D. ace. （2）Paragraph 3 and 4 are mainly developed by_.A. analyzing dataB. giving definitionsC. making comparisonsD. providing research results （3）To be a good cheerleader， one needs to be_.A. considerateB. cooperativeC. intelligentD. independent （4）What's the best title of the passage？_A. Cheerleading Is a SportB. Views Vary on CheerleadingC. Cheerleading Is an EntertainmentD. Americans Don't Love Cheerleading 4.     I love snakes. My mom definitely does not. When she was a kid,  snakes used to hide in warm spots under the furniture. So she grew up afraid she'd step on a snake. I grew up hoping I'd see oneoutside! Lots of people who are afraid of snakes have never even seen one. So where does our fear come from?     Scientists wonder about this too. Their experiments with adults,  kids,  and even babies show that it's complicated. People may not be born afraid of snakes,  but we are born able to see them quickly. In tests with pictures, people picked out snakes faster than they could find flowers, frogs, and caterpillars. It wasn't just snakes, though. People also found spiders and angry faces faster than "safe" things like flowers. It seems like we find things that might be dangerous to us faster than things that aren't    People also learn to fear snakes faster than we learn to fear many other things. We take our hints from other people's scared voices and faces. Some scientists think we've evolved this wayfaster to see snakes and faster to learn to fear them. After all, if we had to be bitten by a snake to learn that it's dangerous, we might learn our lesson too late.    So why does it matter if we're afraid of snakes?  It may not matter much to us, but it matters to snakes. People protect animals they like, not animals they fear. Snakes may not be as cute as dolphins, but they're just as important to the environment. Snakes eat insects that are pests to humans. Snakes are also food for other animals,  so when we kill snakes,  we're hurting other creatures too.    How do we get past our fears to give snakes a chance? Scientists did a study recently where students of your age went on a field trip. Guides helped them find and capture snakes in the forest. Everyone could safely touch and hold a snake. It turns out that snakes aren't so bad when you get to know them. Most people who were afraid of snakes before the field trip weren't afraid afterward. In fact,  snakes even became some students' favorite animal. Hmm,  maybe I should take my mom on the next field trip.    Remember:  Always respect snakes,  whether you're afraid of them or not. （1）We learn from Paragraph 1 that her mom's fear of snakes is_.A. unreasonableB. questionableC. acceptableD. incredible （2）According to Paragraph 3， people's fear comes from_.A. school educationB. others' influenceC. selfexperienceD. scientific researches （3）Which paragraph shows people how to overcome their fear of snakes？_A. Paragraph 2.B. Paragraph 3.C. Paragraph 4.D. Paragraph 5. （4）Which of the following will the author agree with？_A. Snakes are not dangerous at all.B. People's fear matters little to snakes.C. Snakes are well protected by humans.D. People should make peace with snakes.第二节（共1小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卜上 将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。  In Yangzhou， a morning tea experience has a complete set of accompanying rules that needs to be observed.
