第二部分阅读理解（满分40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。

21．（6分）The repai rman told me, “No charge, Professor Pan!” We’re friends.

“I’d rather pay,’’ I replied. “If it’s free, I can’t afford it!”

Chinese often refuse payment for professional services .insisting, “We’re friends now!” But then they show up later to ask me to tutor them in English，or get them into an American university, and I wish I’d have just paid the 30 yuan I owed them in the first place!

According to the Americans, “There is no free lunch.”, means that there’s a price for everything. And I’m always looking aro und to figure out what this means. Many of our neighbours have given us fruit or flowers or costly teas, never asking anything in return. For years, a bicycle repairman has repeatedly refused to let me pay him. “Wait until you have something major to fix!” he insists.

I mentioned to a peasant friend that I wished I had a stone mill to grind (磨) flour for bread. A month later he showed up with a beautiful mill that he and his uncle in the countryside had carved from a solid block of stone.

Chinese generosity is a real education for Americans like me, who would rather avoid social entanglements (纠纷) and just hand over the money. But cash can’t compensate (补偿) for the greatest gift—friendship.

When an American saw some of my friends sitting on bamboo stools under the trees, sipping (呷) tea, he said, “They must have nothing better to do.” “Actually,” I said, “they are professors, with plenty to do. But probably you are right in saying that, at this moment, they have nothing better to do. And neither do I!”

And I joined the group. When chatting about tea and Chinese cooking and how much my boys have grown since we arrived, one man said, “They were pocket-sized when you came here. Now they’re taller than you. How time flies !.”

How life flies. And Chinese are smart enough to share what they know they cannot keep. They freely give off their time, never too busy to help a friend. And they are teaching me, slowly, to both give and receive. So the next time someone says, “No charge. We’re friends!” I will thank them heartily. But if they show up later asking me to tutor them in English, I’ll make sure they tutor my son in Chinese as well, because there’s still no free lunch.

1、Why did the author insist paying the repairman while he was offered free repairs?

A．Because he was an upright man.

B．Because he didn’t know the repair man

C．Because he thought it natural to pay for other’s service.

D．Because he didn’t want to help others in return.

2、Generally, the author thinks that .

A．Chinese are generous always ready to help their friends

B．Chinese are good at exchange of equal values

C．Chinese are free enough to drink and chat with their friends

D．Chinese are helpful but don’t treasure time

3、The best title for the passage should be “”

A．Still No Free lunch

B．A Good Lesson From Chinese

C．True Help or Not

D．Learn to Both Give And Receive

4、Which of the following is TRUE?

A．All the Chinese that once gave the author help have asked him to tutor them in English

B．When a peasant knew the author needed a mill, he made one for the author himself

C．The author thinks that Chinese are wise enough to enjoy the limited life

D．The author thinks little of the Chinese way of life.

22．（8分）This year’s flu season is pretty scary. To try to minimize the effects, public officials are still urging anyon e who hasn’t yet gotten their flu shot to get one as soon as possible. However, even if every single person got a shot in the arm, the vaccine(疫苗)—with its excellent 36 percent effectiveness—would not prevent everyone from getting infected with the annoying virus. Knowledge is power, so here's what goes on in your body when you come down with the flu.

The influenza virus primarily attacks your nose, throat, and the tubes that lead to your lungs. But the flu is so much more than that. Your muscles ache, your head hurts, and your appetite goes down, among other things. To our surprise, almost all of these symptoms have less to do with the virus itself than with your immune( 免疫的)response to them. Unfortunately, the very defense you have in place to get rid of the flu is the reason you feel so painful when you recover.

The virus usually enters through your mouth, typically by way of your hands . But it takes a few days for symptoms to set in. While this process might cause some harm to your nose and throat, it's nothing major, and nothing like the symptoms that typically accompany a bad or even mild case of the flu.

The real fun starts when your immune system begins to fight. Your immune system comes in two parts: the innate system and the adaptive. The innate immune system is essentially an all-purpose tool. As soon as your body senses the presence of any injury or invader , the innate immune system launches into action by producing tiny proteins called cytokines and chemokines. The cytokines reproduce almost immediately and start to attack the virus. This increase in immune cells creates a serious inflammation( 炎症) throughout

the body. But the worst is still to come.

Meanwhile, the chemokines work with the adaptive immune system to help create T cells. These cells are a special type of white blood cell that works in a much more specific way: They find the influenza virus, identify what's special about it, and create something unique on their surface that finds and destroys similar invaders.

1、What can we infer from Paragraph 1?

A．All the vaccine is not effective.

B．No one can avoid catching this year's flu.

C．This year's flu is the most serious one in recent years.

D．Public health officials have to use a gun when necessary.

2、Why many parts of your body suffer while you're recovering from a flu?

A．Because recovery from illness is painful.

B．Because your immune system is working against your defense system.

C．Because your body is fighting hard against the flu.

D．Because the influenza virus attacks your nose, throat and other parts.

3、The underlined word “fun” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by.

A．joy B．battle

C．action D．program

4、What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?

A．The fight between innate immune system and the adaptive.

B．The categories of immune system.

C．The way immune system works.

D．The process of the development of immune system.

23．（8分）During Amsterdam’s chaotic rush hour, nine-year-old Lotta Crok cycles to a very busy junction. “Look,” she says. “There’s traffic coming from eve rywhere. Four trams from four different directions. For a child on a bike that’s really confusing!”

Lotta is the first junior cycle mayor in the world and her working area is the Dutch capital. You would think this challenge would be superfluous in a city known as the bicycle capital of the world. The number of bicycles in Amsterdam is estimated at 881,000 –more than the city’s 850,000 inhabitants – and 63% of the population cycle daily.

But children who cycle in Amsterdam face challenges, Lotta says: “The three biggest problems for us are cars, cycling tourists and scooters (小型摩托). The cars take up too much space, the tourists are always swinging side to side and stop when you least expect it, and the scooters simply run you over.”

Lotta became junior cycle mayor in June last year when she won a contest in which schoolchildren were asked to come up with plans to make cycling safer and more fun. Her idea was to add children’s bikes to the popular bike share programme.

Since Lotta was appointed junior cycle mayor, she has been busy, giving interviews, opening cycling contests in the city and being a jury（评审员）member during the Amsterdam Light Parade, an event in which Amsterdammers decorate their bikes with lights.

She is now planning a meeting with the city’s mayor to discuss ideas that children have come up with: “One of our proposals is a bicycle park where children can learn how to cycle. Right now, most of us learn it in the street, which can be quite busy. Another idea is to create an app for tourists to teach them the rules of cycling, because most of them really don’t know.”

Following the success of the Amsterdam scheme, cycle mayors around the world are now planning to appoint junior colleagues. “They see it works really well,” Boerma, the senior major, says. “I talk to the parents, Lotta talks to the children. And if you look at the city through the eyes of a child, you will also make it accessible for others. A city that’s good for an eight-year-old is also good for an 88-year-old.”

1、Why is a junior cycle mayor appointed in Amsterdam?

A．To teach children how to ride.

B．To ensure cycling is safer for children.

C．To give suggestions to the city’s mayor on how to run the city.

D．To organize the cycling contests in the city.

2、Which word can best replace t he underlined word “superfluous” in paragraph 2?

A．Important B．Unnecessary

C．Difficult D．Valuable

3、What has Lotta done since she became the bike mayor?

A．She has solved the three biggest problems for children cycling in Amsterdam.

B．She has won a contest about cycling.

C．She has given interviews and been a jury member during a parade.

D．She has given proposals to the city mayor.

4、What ’s Boerma’s attitude to the junior cycle mayor?

A．Cautious B．Favorable

C．Ambiguous D．Disapproving

24．（8分）Four Wild Animal Species Were Endangered

Maybe you can still see them at the zoo. But that doesn’t mean they’re doing alright in the wild.

Tigers

All six tiger species are endangered, with Sumatran tigers and South Chin tigers at a seriously endangered status. The main reasons for their population decline are illegal hunting and destroyed habitats(栖息地), as humans clear forests to gather timber（木材）and build roadways. Only about 3890 tigers presently live in the wild.

Ground squirrels

That’s right, even squirrels are endanger ed, specifically the San Joaquin ground squirrel. Native to California, USA, these guys have been disappearing since 1979 on account of the construction and human developments going through their habitat. Their total population is unknown , but it could be anywhere between 124000 and 413000.

Giraffes

The International Union for the Conservation of Nature recently put giraffes at a vulnerable status, the level just before endangered. The giraffe population has declined 40 percent in the last 30 years, primarily due to loss of habitat and illegal hunting. Some giraffes are killed just for their tails, which are considered status symbols in Africa.

Asian elephants

The main threat to Asian elephants, one of the most intelligent animals, is their shrinking habitat. As the human population grows, people invade their land to build roads and railway tracks. Elephants in Myanmar are at an especially high risk for being captured and traded or used illegally in the tourist industry. Fewer than 50000 are left on the entire continent.

1、What is the total population of tigers living in the wild?

A．Around 3890.

B．50000.

C．124000.

D．413000.

2、Which of the following is considered one of the most intelligent animals?

A．Tigers.

B．Giraffes.

C．Ground squirrels.

D．Asian elephants.

3、What is the common threat to the four wild animals?

A．Illegal hunting.

B．Disturbed habitat.

C．Developing tourism.

D．Unnecessary construction.

4、Which word can best describe the present situation for protecting wild animals?

A．Satisfactory.

B．Optimistic.

C．Urgent.

D．Stable.
