第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）

第一节（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A lot of us lose life‘s tough battles by starting a frontal(正面的) attack—when a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum(最后通牒) about being late on the job. Although there was a good reason for Sam‘s a being late—serious illness at home—he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn‘t work any longer. His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.

Yes, the boss was, Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room(更衣室); everyone was hard at work. Sam‘s supervisor came up to him. Suddenly, Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand. ―How do you do!‖ he said. ―I‘m Sam Maynard. I‘m applying for a job. Which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?‖The room exploded in laughter. The supervisor clamped off a smile and walked back to his office. Sam Maynard had saved his job—with the only tool that could win, a laugh.

Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected(忽略), means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying ―no‖, criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it‘s the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians(喜剧演员) on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance(忍受力) than people in any other forum.

1. Why was Sam late for his job?

A. Because he was ill.

B. Because he got up late.

C. Because he was caught in a traffic jam.

D. He was busy applying for a new job.

2. The main idea of this passage is ________.

A. Sam Maynard saved his job with humor

B. humor is important in our lives

C. early bird gets the worm

D. humor can solve racial discriminations

3. The phrase ―clamped off‖ in Paragraph 3 means ________.

A. tried to hold back

B. tried to set

C. charged

D. gave out

4. Which of the following statements can we infer from the passage?

A. Many lose life‘s battles for they are lacking in a sense of humor.

B. It wasn‘t the first time that Sam came late for his work.

C. Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30.

D. Humor is the most effective way of solving problems.

When I opened my e-mail the other day, a pretty woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen. She greeted me by name and started talking with great enthusiasm. Every now and then she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss. She was reading to me an e-mail from my brother, and a lot of it was about his getting the phone company to give him a high-speed Internet connection. It was pretty cool.

Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail. Facemail lets you send e-mail that gets ready to the receiver by an attractive male or female form or by a clown(小丑). The software, which is free, can be downloaded at www. https://www.360docs.net/doc/2016756576.html,.

Facemail faces are lifelike, and they simulate(模拟) emotions based on emotions that you put in your text. For example, type in-X, and Rachel blows a kiss.

LifeFX, the company that develops the Facemail, is sure there are broad business uses. The reason e-business is not popular, the company says, is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch. But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name, waited on you and personally closed the sale? And it is talking with Whirl(惠而浦公司) about using the technology in a computer screen on a fridge. Then if Mom can't be home when the kids get back from school, she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat.

Facemail could get hot fast. Personally, I'm a fan. But Facemail should be used with care. The clown looks lively and funny at first. But if you select the clown, put a few rude words in an e-mail and add some angry emotions, you've got a Psycho-mail(疯人型电子邮件).

49. The pretty woman that appears on the writer's computer screen was ______.

A. a woman working on the Internet

B. his brother's girlfriend

C not a real person

D. the picture of his pen-friend

50. The main advantage of Facemail is that ______.

A. you can hire a beautiful woman to read the e-mail to you

B. you can see the person who sends you the e-mail

C. yon can send an e-mail free of charge

D. e-mail can be attractive in a more lovely way

51. The writer mentioned Nike website and Michael Jordan to show that _______.

A. Famous people like Michael Jordan also like to use Facemail

B. Facemail can make shopping on the Internet more interesting

C. Nike website will increase its sales by Jordan

D. Michael Jordan will serve you himself on Nike website

52. What is the writer's attitude towards Facemail?

A. He thinks it needs further improvement.

B. He thinks it cool and funny.

C. He thinks it a danger to the Internet.

D. He thinks people should be careful with Facemail.

D．

―I‘m afraid Kire will be late,‖a clerk at the company told me . ―Oh, fine,‖I said. ―No problem.‖ I had been trying to make myself believe that all bad things I had read about models were rubbish, but the words difficult, cold and vain（虚荣）kept coming into my head. And now she was going to be late. How late? An hour? Three hours?Maybe she wouldn‘t come at all. What if she were late, she would be rushing? She could be impatient and refuse to answer my questions.

But when the winner of the Looks magazine supermodel competition walked in, she was smiling, relaxed and apologetic－and with her mother. Kira was not dressed in expensive－looking designer clothes but in a simple black dress. just a very friendly, very tall, very pretty girl. All models under the age of 16 must take an adult with them whenever they work,she explained, and apart from looking very young, her mother was an ordinary mum noticeably proud of her successful daughter.

The achievement of being chosen for the final gave Kira the confidence to go through with it and she performed perfectly. She won easily and the Select Model Company in London immediately offered her work.

As a busy model, though,her social life is obviously affected. The Select Company can ring at any time and tell her that she is wanted for a job the next day. ―If my friends are going out together, I can‘t say I‘ll come, because I don‘t know what I‘m doing the next day. I can‘t really make plans, and if I do they sometimes get broken, but my friends are good about it. They don‘t say, ―Oh, you‘re always going off modeling now, you never have time for us.‖

I am about to finish the interview with the girl who has it all, and I ask what she would like to do as a career if she didn‘t have the beauty that seems certain to take her to the top of profession. She pauses and replies, ―I‘d like to do what you‘re doing.‖

53. Before she went to the interview with Kira, the author .

A. was unsure what questions to ask her

B. did not expect to like Kira

C. knew that Kira would be late

D. imagined Kira to be better than the ordinary

54. What does the underlined ―it‖ refer to?

A.Winning the final.

B. Taking part in the final.

C. Enjoying the success.

D. Getting the job as a model.

55. What does Kira say about her social life?

A. She has some understanding friends.

B. She likes to accept invitations.

C. She regrets having so little free time.

D. She wishes her life could carry on as before.

56. What do we learn about Kira in the last paragraph?

A. She is thinking of looking for a new job.

B. She is thinking of leaving school.

C. She doesn‘t mind becoming a reporter.

D. She doesn‘t expect to be a model for long.

E．

The common cold is the world‘s most widespread illness, which is plagues(疫病) that flesh receives.

The most widespread fallacy(谬误) of all is that colds caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses(病毒) passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.

During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches(战壕), cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds.

In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp(奥斯维辛集中营), naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds. At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.

If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter？Despite the most pains-taking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.

No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors(止痛片) such as aspirin, but all they do is relieve the symptoms(症状).

57. Which of the following does not agree with the chosen passage?

A. The Eskimos do not suffer from colds all the time.

B. Colds are not caused by cold.

C. People suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors.

D. A person may catch a cold by touching someone who already has one.

58. Arctic explorers may catch colds when _______.

A. they are working in the isolated arctic regions

B. they are writing reports in terribly cold weather

C. they are free from work in the isolated arctic regions

D. they are coming into touch again with the outside world

59. V olunteers taking part in the experiments in the Common Cold Research Unit _______.

A. suffered a lot

B. never caught colds

C. often caught colds

D. became very strong

60. The passage mainly discusses _______.

A. the experiments on the common cold

B. the fallacy about the common cold

C. the reason and the way people catch colds

D. the continued spread of common colds

Global Shortage of Fresh Water

Many people believe that the world‘s supply of fresh water will never be used up .They think that fresh water comes from such a variety of sources that it is always sufficient for use .Such an opinion leads to a shocking waste of water.

As a matter of fact, the earth is short of fresh water. Furthermore ,with the rapid growth of the world‘s population ,the rising demand for water by industry ,and the serious pollution of our surroundings ,the world is facing the danger of running out of fresh water .Actually ,in some big cities ,fresh water cannot meet the daily needs.

Therefore ,to find new ways to save water is an urgent task. First ,we should pass strict laws to control any waste of water. Second ,scientists must work even harder to purify sea water and polluted water ,and try to find substitutes to reduce the use of fresh water.
