II. 阅读理解（Reading comprehension）（共20小题，计30分） 阅读下列短文或图表，然后完成文后各题。（51—60小题为选择题，每题1分且只有一个最佳答案；61—70小题为非选择题，请回答问题或完成句子，每空词数不限，每题2分）（答案涂写在答题纸上） A Hayao Miyazaki was born in Tokyo on January 5, 1941. As a boy, he liked to read and draw cartoons. After graduating from university in 1963, Miyazaki joined the Toei Animation （动画片制作） Company. At Toei, he worked on many animated movies, like the famous Puss in Boots. In 1984, he made Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind, which was based on a comic book he wrote. Because this movie was so successful, Miyazaki was able to start his own animation company, Studio Ghibli. One of Miyazaki's most loved movies is My Neighbour Totoro, made in 1987. It is a children's movie, but many teenagers and adults like it too. The movie is about two sisters who become friends with a big, supernatural （神奇的） animal named Totoro. It is a very warm-hearted story, with many strange and interesting characters such as Cat Bus, a cat which is also a bus. Miyazaki's 2001 movie, Spirited Away, was even more popular than My Neighbour Totoro. All of Miyazaki's movies have strange but charming people and creatures. Many of his stories happen in worlds that are different from ours. However, they still show his ideas about real life. He often points out how humans hurt the natural world. He thinks people should change the ways how they live. This may be why so many people like his movies. 51. What is the main idea of this passage? A. The movie My Neighbour Totoro. B. The early life of Hayao Miyazaki. C. The most famous movie in Japan. D. The works of Hayao Miyazaki. 52. How did the success of Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind help Miyazaki? A.

These storms go around like a wheel（轮子） turning to the left. They have wind speeds of 60 kph or more. They can be very destructive （毁灭性的）. In the United States, the Tropical Prediction Centre in Miami, Florida, looks out for hurricanes. When scientists discover a true hurricane, they give it a name. They can use either a man's or woman's name. Why should hurricanes have names? The names make it easier for people to keep up with information about a hurricane and its dangers. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO), an international weather group, decides what names will be used. The WMO makes six lists （列表） of names, using the English alphabet. Each list is used for one year. When a hurricane happens, it gets the next name on the list for that year. For example, the first hurricane of the year might have the name Abel, while the second one could be Betty. The name lists do not include （包含） names beginning with the letters O, U, X, Y, and Z, since there are few names that begin with these letters. Asian countries use a different list. This list has a few personal names, but most of the names are of flowers, animals and trees. 56. Why should hurricans have names? A. It sounds interesting. B. The names help people get information about a hurricane. C. The names are only for the WMO. D. It is traditional. 57. _________ decides what names will be used for hurricanes. A. The Tropical Prediction Centre B. A scientist C. The WMO D. Abel 58. Which name would a hurricane never have? A. Rita. B. Veronica. C. William. D. Yanni. 59. The Fifth hurricane of 2010 might have the name ________. A. Diana. B. Darren. C. Eric. D. Connie. 60. Asian countries name typhoons after ________. A. books and buildings B. flowers and animals C. mountains and rivers D. oceans and rivers C DJs (disc jockeys) are the people who play and present music on the radio, or in a nightclub. A VJ (video jockey) is a person who introduces music videos on television. VJs were first seen on television in the early 1980s when MTV went on the air. As MTV became popular and the audience for music videos increased, different kinds of music video channels started broadcasting. By the 1990s, international music video channels like Channel V in Asia and VIVA in Europe had started. The VJs for the new international stations had to be chosen carefully. Although some VJs showed mostly local content （本地内容）, other VJs presented shows for international viewers （电视观众）. These VJs, and the material （素材） they presented, needed to be popular in several different cultures. One successful international VJ in Asia is Asha Gill. She is from Malaysia, but her parents and grandparents are from India, France, and England. She speaks three languages and has fans across Asia. When asked what makes a good VJ, many successful VJs have given similar answers. To be a good VJ you need to know a lot about music, you need to be funny, and you can't be shy. 61. DJs play music _________, while VJs introduce music videos _________. 62. When did VJs first appear on television? 63. VJs for international channels should be chosen carefully because they have to be _________. 64. What kind of people can become good VJs？ D The map below shows the central part of a town and some of its important buildings. Use the map to answer questions 65—67. 65.

E “It's really cool to have a dad who flies fighter jets （喷气式战斗机）,” thought 11-year-old Casey as she was watching him fly overhead. Living on an Air Force base （空军基地） was not as bad as some people might think. Casey rather enjoyed being around friends who had something in common with each other. They had their own school, bowling area, and movie theatre. She especially loved it when her dad would come home each day and greet her with a new joke and tickles （搔痒）. Today was different, though. When her dad walked into the room, he looked sad for some reason. He just kissed her on the forehead and told her mum that he needed to talk to her. Casey knew something was wrong. When her mum and dad came out of the other room, mum was crying. Dad sat down and began to explain that he has been told to go to Iraq to help with the war effort. Casey was so surprised that she couldn't speak for a moment. She began to feel tears in her eyes. Soon, the day came. Her dad was leaving. It was hard for Casey to believe that she wouldn't be seeing her dad for a whole year. They depended on （依赖） him for so many things. Who would fix the broken window? Who would greet her with jokes and tickles at the end of the day? Casey began to cry more than ever. 68. According to the story, one thing Casey enjoyed on the base was that she and her friends _________. 69. How did Casey know that something was wrong when her dad got home? 70. How long would her dad be away?
