第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题，满分40分)
B
Looking back on my childhood，I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made.Although we were all brought up in the same way，my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects.Unlike them，I had no ear for music and languages.I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.
Before World War Ⅰ we spent our summer holidays in Hungary.I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in，of my room and my toys.Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents，aunts，uncles and cousins who gathered next door.But I do have a clear memory of the dogs，the farm animals，the local birds，and above all，the insects.
I am a naturalist，not a scientist.I have a strong love of the natural world and my enthusiasm led me into varied investigations.I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people’s observations and discoveries.Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind.
Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle，because it all seems to fit together.This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books，which some might honor with the title of scientific research.
But curiosity，a keen eye，a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist：one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline，a quality I lack.A scientist requires not only self-discipline，but hard training，determination and a goal.A scientist，up to a certain point，can be made.A naturalist is born.If you can combine the two，you get the best of both worlds.
60．The first paragraph tells us the author________. A．was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood B．lost his hearing when he was a child C．didn’t like his brothers and sisters D．was born to a naturalist’s family
61．The author can’t remember his relatives clearly because________. A．he didn’t live very long with them B．the family was extremely large
C．he was too young when he lived with them D．he was fully occupied with observing nature
62．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．The author is a naturalist，but not a scientist. B．The author is a scientist as well as a naturalist. C．The author is first of all a scientist.
D．The author is neither a naturalist nor a scientist.
63．The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he
3
thinks he________.
A．has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmetic B．lacks some of the qualities required of a scientist
C．just reads about other people’s observations and discoveries D．comes up with solutions in a most natural way

第一节 单项填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 21. A midnight午夜前不加冠词；get the best of战胜，击败
22. A a normal response/reaction to sth.对…的正常反应；第二空根据其后的an accident可知选injure。
23. B 虚拟语气的考查。对过去事实的虚拟，条件从句用过去完成时，主句用would/could/might+现在完成时。 24. C while在此表对比，“尽管”，引起一个让步状语从句。
25. D 虚拟条件句中有were/should/had时，可省略if，把were/should/had提前。 26. C take up开始从事；save up储蓄；keep up坚持，继续；draw up起草，制定
27. D used to do sth.过去常做某事；be devoted to doing sth.致力于做某事；B项错在work上，应该用working。 28. B on behalf of“代表…”
29. D hardships“艰难，苦难，辛苦”；disadvantages“不利之处”；shortcoming“缺点”；troubles“烦恼，困难，麻烦”。 30. B without which里隐含了一个虚拟的条件：If he hadn’t given me…
31. A face vt./ be faced with“面对，面临”；若选D，则要去掉题干中的with. 32. D anyway不管怎样；likewise同样地，也；therefore因此；otherwise否则
33. C be worthy to be done，形容词短语作后臵定语，其前省略了that is；而worth的固定结构为be worth doing。 34. B 考查省略。当主句与从句主语一致时，且从句中含有be动词，这是可省略从句主语和be动词，补充完整则为“when it is taken”。
35. A 从前一句看，应是对过去的虚拟，因此，but后的句子应该是过去的事实，用一般过去时。 第二节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)
【语篇解读】 父亲是卡车驾驶员，工作很忙。尽管难得见上一面，我们的关系还是很亲密。我爱我的父亲，因为他的坚持和大度使我获益很多。

37．A 本句进一步说明父亲回来很少，有时在外面一待就是两个星期。stay away待在外面，不回来。

45．C 根据下句“for he has been playing the guitar for over 20 years“可知父亲在音乐方面很有天赋。

51.父亲鼓励我不要灰心丧失希望，因为他认为我所有的努力都会带来好结果，得到回报。pay off带来好结果，得到回报。
52．D 从generous可知，父亲是一个慷慨大方的人，对自己的时间也不吝啬，每个星期四晚上都自愿去儿童俱乐部读书给孩子们听。offer to do表示自愿或主动做某事，而intend to do则表示打算做某事。
53．D 句中的light up表示“照亮；发出光彩”这里指小孩的脸上露出好奇的神彩。 54．C 有这样的一位父亲，作者应该感到自豪。feel/be proud of...对……感到自豪。 55．B 这里与本段中的offer to read呼应。
