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中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

（A）

At thirteen, I was diagnosed (诊断)with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.

In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might no t be able to do it.”She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”

I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home. In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots(点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.

Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?

I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quite

a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words:“ See what you can do when you keep trying?”

21. The author didn’t finish the reading in class because.

A. He was new to the class

B. He was tried of literature

C. He had an attention disorder

D. He wanted to take the task home

22. What was Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story?

A. Angry

B. Impatient

C. Sympathetic

D. Encouraging

23. What is the main idea of the passage?

A.The disabled should be treated with respect.

B.A teacher can open up a new world to students.

C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.

D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.

( B )

China’s new term, tuhao, may be in next year’s Oxford English Dictionary. The word caught the attention of the dict ionary’s editing team after BBC’s recent program on influential Chinese words. “If its influence continues,it is very likely to appear on our updated list of words,” said Julie Kleeman, project manager with the editing team.

In Chinese tu means uncouth(粗鲁的) and hao means rich. It has traditionally been referred to rich people who throw their weight around in China’s countryside. The word became more popular with the launch of Apple’s new gold-colored iPhone, which is loved by Chi na’s ric h people. The color became known as “tuhao gold”. The word is now also used by the online community to refer to people who have the cash but lack the class to go with it. Kleeman also mentioned other Chinese word—dama, which means middle-aged women, was first used in the Western media by the Wall Street Journal in May when thousands of Chinese women were buying up record number of gold. They were the driving force in the global gold market between April and July

when the gold prices had dropped.

People can have an intuitive(直觉的)grasp of the meanings if they see pinyin, Kleeman said, adding that people avoid using an English word to keep the original meaning.

“We have nearly 120 Chinese-linked words now in Oxford English Dictionary,”she said. Some of them are: guanxi, which means “connection”;taikonaut, a mix of taikong, meaning outer space, and astronaut.

The new words will be first uploaded on the official website before the

dictionaries arrive. The online version is also renewed every thr ee months.“It at least broke our old rules. It used to take 10 years to include a new word but now we keep pace with the time,” according to a statement from ex-chief-editor John Simpson.

24.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?

A. Dama and tuhao have made it into Oxford English Dictionary.

B. Some influential Chinese words appeared on one of BBC’s recent programs.

C. Tuhao refers to people who have both the cash and the class.

D. John Simpson thinks that it is not good to break old rules.

25.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Give orders to others.

B.Get ready to help others.

C.Go on a diet.

D.Put on weight.

26.Tuhao became more popular partly because______________.

A.it is very likely to appear in Oxford English Dictionary

B.it is often used by the online community

C. people use Chinese pinyin to keep the original meaning

D. Apple launched a new gold-colored iPhone

27.The main idea of the text is that____________________.

A. tuhao may end up in Oxford English Dictionary

B. sometimes pinyin makes Chinese words better understood

C. tuhao has a new meaning at the present time

D. Oxford English Dictionary includes new words faster than before

( D )

Our children feel stressed out by an educational system that actually uses stress as an educational technique. It's a constant pressure of homework deadlines，essays and exams. And our children are told at a young age that failing a test means that they are failures in life. They'll end up nowhere if they don't pass this or that exam. Our educational system is based on a very Western idea that life is a struggle and you'd better measure up. It's survival of the fittest. While there is some truth to this, not as much as people think.

Our ancestors didn't develop a constant stress environment. Back then, stress came quickly and was over quickly, it wasn't like the stress of modern education. Stress was originally just a short-term biological response to danger; however, the constant stress of modern education rarely stops. It's long term, at least ten years and usually more.

Recent research has shown that the neurological(神经系统的)response to stress is the same response that is found in depression. So, what's the solution? A number have been proposed, including but not limited to the following.

Make sure that kids get exercise Exercise consumes(消耗) energy that would otherwise build up in the stress response and could cause physical and mental problems.

Teach relaxation exercises. Allowing the mind and body to relax cuts off the stress response and reduces the neurological fatigue(疲劳)，enabling the individual to recover at least somewhat.

Pay attention to thinking. Training the stressed student to pay attention to his or her own mind to a point where he or she is sufficiently aware to shut off the stress response when necessary.

Of course，there's a logical answer to the problem. Just rearrange our teaching

methods to encourage，rather than prevent，the natural curiosity and joy in learning that we are all born with. This would remove the stress and probably cut learning time in half.

32.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Dealing with stress in modern education.

B. Helping children live a happy life.

C. Getting rid of the modern education.

D. Taking measures to learn at school.

33. Children feel stressed because ______.

A. they dislike the educational technique

B. they have no ability to finish their homework

C. they are convinced (相信)high grades are important

D. they suffer numbers of failures in their life

34. How did our ancestors treat education?

A. They thought education was the only way to success.

B. They felt education could bring short-term stress.

C. They believed education could bring the best out.

D. They knew the importance of good education.

35. If you are a teacher in a high school ______.

A. you should relax yourself as far as possible

B. you should ignore the stressed student

C. you should leave students in a good mood

D. you should stick to your teaching methods

( E )

第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)

阅读短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

We all wish we had just a bit more time. Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or spring-clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on.

36 But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really

matter.

1. Get Out of Bed Earlier

If you normally get up at 7：30 am, try getting up at 7：00 am. That half-hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you've been meaning to finish. 37

2. Do the Important Tasks First

Once you get to work, get the important ones done first (not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones). You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones.

38 The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won't miss the important ones.

3. Reduce Interruptions

If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter. Constant interruptions don't just eat up time, they also break your concentration.

When you've got a big task to focus on, let your calls go to voicemail. 39 Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation.

4. 40

A few minutes' chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day.

When you're working, work. If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. And if you're facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it's easier to deal with.

A. Stay Focused on Your Work

B. Take Breaks When Necessary

C. If you have an office door, close it.

D. If you work like this, you'll usually save time.

E. Would you want me to make your day longer?

F. I can't magically make all your days 25 hours long.

G. Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start.

I can still remember it like it was yesterday. I was a college freshman and had

41 up most of the night before laughing and talking with friends. Now just before my first 42 of the day my eyelids were feeling heavier and heavier and my head was drifting down to my desk to make my textbook a 43 . A few minutes’ nap(小睡)time before class couldn’t 44 ，I thought.

And the enthusiasm and joy that he 54 with were contagious(有感染力的)．I 55 the classroom not only wide awake，but a little

56 and a little better as well.

I learned something far more important than not 57 in class that day too. I learned that if you are going to do something in this life, do it well and do it with 58 .What a wonderful place this would be if all of us did our work joyously and well. Don’t sleepwalk your way through 59 then. Wake up！Let your love fill your work. Life is too 60 not to live it well.

Over the years I've been teaching kids about a simple but powerful concept----the ant philosophy(哲学), an 61 (amaze) four-part philosophy.

First, ants never give up. If they're heading somewhere and you try to stop them, they'll climb over, they'll climb under, or they'll climb around. They never stop 62 (look) for a way to get where they 63 (suppose) to go! Second, ants think about winter and summer. They are always gathering in their winter food in the middle

of summer and they are making 64 (prepare) for the long cold winter. So you have to think about storms in summer; think about rocks 65 you enjoy the sand and sun. Third, ants think about summer all winter. During the winter, they remind 66 ,“This won't last long and we'll soon be out of here.” On 67 first warm day, the ants are out. If it 68 (turn) cold again, they'll dive back down. But they come out again if it is warm. Last, how much will an ant gather during the summer

to prepare for the winter? All that it 69 (possible) can. _ 70 you can learn from the ant philosophy is: Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can

Generally, we prefer to do things by the way we considered to be the best. However, it is important to listen to those who love us and want to give us an advice when we have serious problems in our lives. Parents have gained some life experiences and they know what to act in different situations. That is why we should ask them for help first when they have problems. Therefore, there are moments when we avoid them and do not want to follow them. With time passed, my brother as well as I have realized that our parents are right. Please turn for your parents when in trouble for they worth trusting and ready to offer help all the time.
