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）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

Today we think of Abraham Lincoln as a great leader. What most of us don’t know is that he was a well-known humorist and storyteller in his day.

Lincoln learned to tell jokes and stories from his father. When Lincoln became a lawyer, he used his jokes and stories to gain the good will of the jury(陪审团），and more than once his opposing lawyer would complain to the judge that Lincoln’s stories were irrelevant and distracting (分心）to the jury. The trouble for them was that Judge David Davis loved Lincoln’s jokes more than anyone else in the court room.

As a politician , Lincoln made excellent use of his humorous stories. His long time political opponent Stephen A. Douglas complained that “Nothing else---not any of his arguments or any of his replies to my questions -----disturbs me. But when he begins to tell a story , I feel that I am to be overmatched.” More than once Douglas and other political opponents of Lincoln’s saw their well presented arguments forgotten by the audience after Lincoln followed up their speeches with a homely story.

As the responsibilities of the office of President became greater and heavier, Lincoln used humor to find relief. He wanted to reduce the stresses in himself and those around him. One of Lincoln’s neighbors told that one day, he saw Lincoln walking past with two young shouting boys. “What’s the matter, Mr. Lincoln ?” the neighbor asked . “The same thing that’s the matter with the whole world ,” Lincoln answered . “ I have three walnuts , and each of them wants two of them .”

One cannot truly appreciate Lincoln without understanding his humorous side. He used his jokes and stories both for the purpose of winning over his audience and relieving the pressure he experienced as President during the terrible Civil War.

21. When Lincoln was a lawyer, what was his purpose of telling jokes and stories?

A.He wanted to satisfy the judge’s desire for jokes

B.He wanted to relieve his pressure

C.He wanted to impress the jury.

D. He wanted to distract his opposing lawyer.

22. What might be Douglas’ attitude towards Lincoln’s humorous stories?

A.Annoyed

B. Appreciative

C. Concerned

D. Surprised

23.What’s the purpose of this text ?

A.To educate

B. To entertain

C. To persuade

D. To inform

B

Removing the sleeve (封套), you will find a book that is entirely white, except for the names of its author and subject in elegant black type on the cover. It is the perfect design for the biography of a man who insisted that even the insides of his products be perfectly constructed, and that his factory walls flash in the whitest white.

The cover was the only part of the book Steve Jobs wanted to control, writes Isaacson in his introduction. Though Mr. Jobs pushed the biographer of Albert Einstein and Benjamin Franklin to write in his own way, generously allowing the writer more than 40 interviews, this book offers quite a different view of Mr. Jobs, who won much praise from his fans after his death on October 5th at the age of 56.

As a biographer of Albert Einstein and Benjamin Franklin, Mr. Isaacson knows how to celebrate longdead genius, but he claimed that Steve Jobs would not be entirely praiseful words. The picture he paints, particularly in the first half of this book, is not nice. Mr. Jobs emerges as a controlling and often coldblooded character. A child of the 1960s counterculture (反主流文化)，he hated materialism and lived in simply furnished houses (in part because he was too particular about furniture),But when Apple went public in 1980, he refused to give any share to Daniel Kottke, a longtime supporter and soul mate from college. “He has to abandon the people he is close to”, observes Andy Hertzfeld, an early Apple engineer.

Mr. Jobs was undoubtedly possessing an extraordinary ability to attract others and inspire a kind of faith that could not be questioned. But also he could be cold and cruel. If he disapproved of an employee’s work，he often shamed him. “This is who I am,” he once said after being challenged, “and you can’t expect me to be someone I’m not.”This disgusting personality wasn’t always helpful, but it served a purpose, writes Mr. Isaacson, many would “end their chain of horror stories by saying that he got them to do things they never dreamed possible”.

Mr. Isaacson treats Steve Jobs as the biography of record, which means that it is a strange book to read so soon after its subject’s death.

24.The biography for Jobs is believed to have the perfect design because________.

A. it follows Jobs’ style

B. its cover is entirely white

C. black and white are his favorite

D. it is designed by a famous biographer

25. The picture of Jobs that Isaacson paints in his book is________.

①cruel ②humorous ③particular ④generous

A. ①③

B. ②③

C. ①④

D. ③④

26. It can be safely concluded that________.

A. Jobs is highly spoken of in the book

B. Isaacson doesn’t think Jobs a good man

C. Jobs didn’t care about the design of the book

D. all descriptions of Jobs are not nice in the book

27.This passage can be classified as________.

A. a personal diary

B. a book review

C. a news report

D. a TV interview

C

The meaning of silence carries among culture groups. Silence may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or, worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙) with conversation.

Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.

Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.

Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority, persons in Asian culture may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.

Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.

A. It implies anger.

B. It is culture-specific

D. It is content-based

A. The Mexicans.

B. The French.

C. The Chinese.

D. The Russians.

34. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?

A. Make use of its healing effects.

B. Break it while treating patients.

C. Evaluate its harm to patients.

D. Let it continue as the patient pleases.

35. What may be the best title for the text?

A. Sound and Silence

B. Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold

C. Silence to Native Americans

D. What it means to be silent

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Secret codes (密码) keep messages private. Bank, companies, and government agencies use secret code in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.

People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 36 Code breaking never lags (落后) behind code making. The science of decoding and reading coded messages is called cryptography.

There are three main types of cryptography. 37 For example, the first letters are “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.”

38 You might represent each letter with a number, for example, let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “1 3 5 20 13 5”.

A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 39 For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me”. The message “bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me”. 40 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.

A. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.

B. In any language, some letters are used more than others.

C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message.

D. It is very hard to break a code without a code book.

E. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.

F. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.

G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.

Patience is of great important in our daily life. Once I waited a bus to come at a stop.

30 minutes past, but no bus came. Both upset and annoyed, I decided to walk on feet. But no sooner had I left than the bus had arrived. I thought if I had waited for one more minute, I would have caught it. If I chose to take a next bus, I would have to wait for other 30 minutes. Only then did I realize my problem.

Dear Sir/Madam:

I am pleased to learn about your appeal to spend a Sunday without using smartphones. I’m very glad to join in the activity. Smartphones are playing an important role nowadays, making

it easier for us to communicate with others and deal with work. But at the same time, we seem

to be losing the skills of the face-to-face communication.

I will present my plans for this Sunday here. After getting up, I would like to invite my friends to go for a morning run in the park. At noon, it is a good idea to help my parents prepare a big meal, after which my family will spend the whole afternoon enjoying the latest movie together. In the evening, we will stay at home, reading books.

It is really a meaningful activity, so I am eager to recommend it to my classmates.

Yours
