第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节：（共15小题；每题2分，满分30分）

A

On the night of November 14, 1978, a six-year-old Korean boy was flying to the United States. All he knew was that he was on a plane heading for somewhere. The plane landed at Kennedy International Airport, where he was greeted by a family. This young boy was me.

I have grown up in a town where there were few Asians, so I stuck out in the crowd. I made friends quickly and they treated me just like anyone else. You may ask if anyon e made fun of my appearance. Well, of course, I met that kind of person.

I just shrugged it off.

As an adopted child, I have something that others don't have. I have had the benefit of two families. I'm lucky to have got a chance to start a new life. But we must try never to forget our past. Someday I will go back to Korea to find out what kind of culture I left behind.

There is only one thing that I regret about being adopted. When I argue with my parents and they realize they are losing the argument, they sometimes wonder what I would be doing if I were back in Korea. I don't understand this because I thought the purpose of adopting someone was to give them a better chance of growing up in a family. Some day when I am older, I want to adopt a girl and raise her the way my parents have raised me, but I would do it better, for I know what went well and

what did not.

21. We learn that when the writer was on the way to his new family,______.

A. he was with his own parents

B. he was very happy and excited

C. he was about ten years old then

D. he didn't know he was going to be adopted

22. If someone sticks out in the crowd, it means that he/she_______.

A. is very good-looking

B. is very kind-hearted

C. is easily noticed by others

D. is disliked by others

23. When the writer was made fun of by others, he _______.

A. was deeply hurt

B. wanted to go back to Korea

C. didn’t care about it that much

D. tried to make friends with them

24. What does the writer want to do when he is older?

A Go back to live with his parents in Korea.

B. Tell his parents what they have done wrong.

C. Find out how to raise children in a better way.

D. Adopt a girl and raise her in a good way.

B

Wheels are everywhere around you and me, yet no one knows exactly when the first wheel was invented or what it was used for. We do know, however, that they existed over 5,500 years ago in ancient Asia.

The oldest known transport wheel was discovered in 2002 in Slovenia. It is over 5,100 years old. Evidence suggests that wheels for transport didn’t become popular for a while, though. This could be because animals did a perfectly good job of carrying farming tools and humans around.

But it could also be because of a difficult situation. While wheels need to roll on smooth surfaces, roads with smooth surfaces weren't going to be constructed until there was plenty of demand for them. Eventually, road surfaces did become smoother, but this difficult situation appeared again a few centuries later. There had been no important changes in wheel and vehicle design before the arrival of modern road design.

In the mid-1700s,a Frenchman came up with a new design of road--a base layer (层)of large stones covered with a thin layer of smaller stones. A Scotsman improved on this design in the 1820s and a strong, lasting road surface became a reality. At around the same time, metal hubs(the central part of a wheel)came into being, followed by the pneumatic tire (充气轮胎) in 1846. Alloy wheels were invented in 1967, sixty years after the appearance of tarmacked roads(柏油路). As wheel design took off, vehicles go faster and faster.

25. What might be the reason why transport wheels wasn’t that popula r for some time?

A. Few knew how to use transport wheels.

B. Humans carried farming tools just as well.

C. Such animals as horses and bulls were still a good means of transport.

D. The existence of transport wheels was not known.

26. How is the last paragraph mainly developed?

A. By giving examples.

B. By following time order

C. By making comparisons.

D. By making classifications.

27. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The beginning of road design.

B. The history of public transport.

C. The developmen t of transport wheels.

D. The invention of fast-moving vehicles.

C

Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict,” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears c asual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”

More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday(but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.

Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale(士气). Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amou nt of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”

32. David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict,” because _______.

A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt

B. he couldn’t stand a clean appearance

C. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the time

D. he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes

33. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because _______.

A. they make him feel at ease when working

B. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes

C. he looks handsome in casual clothes

D. he no longer works for any company

34. According to this passage, which of the following statements is false?

A. Many employees don’t like a conservative dress code.

B. Comfortable clothes make employees more productive.

C. A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees.

D. All the employers in the U. S. are for casual office wear.

35. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned in the passage except _______.

A. saving employees’ money

B. making employees more attractive

C. improving employees’ motivation

D. making employees happier

Good morning, everyone! It is my honor to be here to share

with you my opinions on what to learn in senior high school.

In the coming three years, our school life will be challenging. Firstly, we should learn to learn efficiently. Personally, I used to try effective methods to achieve my academic goals. Developing a good habit is also of importance. It really benefited me a lot to preview lessons, get actively involved in class, and review what had been taught after class.

In addition, we should learn how to get along well with others. In school, I respected teachers and was friendly with classmates. It was with sincerity and faithfulness that we created a harmonious atmosphere.

Finally, we should take part in sports and outdoor activities frequently. They were really helpful to build up my body and enrich my school life.

No pains no gains. I am sure that with great efforts, you will enjoy a colorful and fruitful life here.

Thank you!
