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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

The following are four books that will help you change your mind and change your life.

1) You Can Heal Your Life, Louise Hay: A groundbreaking book when it was released in 1982. It is still the book that I turn to when I have physical unrest that requires deeper understanding. Louise Hay is the pioneer in looking at the connection between the physical unrest that we have in our body and the emotional connection. At the time that she wrote the book many people scoffed at this idea, but it is now widely accepted and millions of people refer to it on a daily basis.

2) The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz: Maintaining a sense of reliability and faith is developed through understanding to The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz written in 1997. We are faced with rules and regulations; don’t do this, don’t do that, watch what you are doing, be kind, loyal, faithful etc. The four agreements represent a simple system of maintaining your own inner authority while practicing being a true person with other people.

3) Slowing Down to the Speed of Life, Richard Carlson and Joseph Bailey: This is a new one in my “bedside collection” and one that has made the bigges t impact on me lately. Written in 1997, it is even more relevant today than it was when it was written. The idea of “slowing down” to get there faster was extremely hard for me to understand. As a human species we seem to enjoy moving fast and expecting quick results, especially from ourselves. I should be successful now, I should be slim now, get me to my destination now —in contrast to “in the fullness of ti m e” when I am ready.

4) The Game of Life and How to Play It, Florence Scovel-Shinn: A classic book that was first published in 1925 and remains one of my favorite books of all time. Scovel-Shinn understood the power of our words to express either our deepest desires or our most horrible nightmares.

So where does this leave you? The way I see it is if y ou want to ‘Heal Your Life” then you had better learn how to play “The Game of Life” by learning how to “Slow Down to the Speed of Life” and keep the “Four Agreements”. The solution may not be easy to do but it is simple. In fact, most solutions are pretty simple, and it is us humans that want to complicate it.

21. According to the author, people who are lacking in personal freedom should read ______.

A. You Can Heal Your Life

B. The Four Agreements

C. Slowing Down to the Speed of Life

D. The Game of Life and How to Play It

22. In which part of a magazine would you probably find this passage?

A. Book Reviews

B. Self Improvement

C. Arts & Entertainment

D. Reference & Education

23. In the author’s opinion, the four books ______.

A. tell us four interesting stories

B. represent four stages of life

C. represent four attitudes

D. offer four ways to change our life and mind

B

Football is a popular game in the world. It is the duty and responsibility of each of us to make sure that it is kept in its proper perspective(角度) and it is protected.

We feel that spectators(观众) can be most influential in helping keep it in its proper perspective and protect it if they develop the right attitudes.

Of all the attitudes that must be developed, the first thing is we are supposed to realize that there must be a winner and a loser in football. The fan who recognizes this principle gets more enjoyment from the game than one who becomes upset, angry, and rude when the team he/she supports loses. We should never think winning is less important. It is very unfair to the coach, the player, and the school when the fan forgets it is impossible to refuse to accept the law of mathematics—there must be a winner and a loser.

Secondly, it is important for each of us to develop the art of appreciating great plays made by opponents(对手). We should always give our opponents praise, and not criticize our team when the opponents make a great play. We should believe that perfection in a football game is to be admired and appreciated, just as we appreciate and admire the work of a great artist in any field.

Thirdly, spectators should remember football players are just human beings. They perform at times under great pressure, and they, like all other people, are likely to make mistakes. Therefore, you should not feel angry with them if they make a mistake.We should always keep in mind that football, with all its charm, thrills and chills, plus everything that makes it great, has one thing more important than all of these combined—the boy who plays it.

24.What does the 4th paragraph tell us?

A. We should show respect for our opponents.

B. It’s important to learn from past failures.

C. Our opponents know us well in a game.

D. Football games can be regarded as a kind of art. 25. What does the author think of footballers’ mistakes?

A. Amazing.

B. Forgivable.

C. Stupid.

D. Unbelievable.

26. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. It’s up to players to decide who will win.

B. Footballers are different in their skills.

C. Football games have very strict rules.

D. Mistakes may happen in a football game.

27. Who is the text mainly intended for?

A.Teenagers.

B. Coaches.

C.Football players.

D. Football spectators.

C

Not long ago, people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or six months old. Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life. Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment. They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes. A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregivers. This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings. One study shows that babies can learn before they are born. The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant woman. Then, they played a recording of a short story. On the day the baby was born, the researchers attempted to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother. They did this by placing a device in the mouth of the newborn baby.

The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way. If the baby moved his mouth the other way, he would hear a different story. The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born. They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story again and again.

Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children. Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years. The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity of the mothers. The women were considered sensitive if
