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

All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy, happy and help them to live longer.

Sports change with the season. People play different games in winter and summer. Games and sports often grow out of people's work and everyday activities. The Arabs use horses or camels in much of their everyday life; they use them in their sports, too.

Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers.

Some sports or games go back thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese boxing, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is a hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time.

People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game they often become good friends. Sports help to train a person's character (性格). One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace (优雅).

21. According to this passage, which of the following isn't true?

A. Sports help to train a person's character.

B. People swim only because there are a lot of rivers in their country.

C. People from different countries may not be able to understand each other before a game.

D. Sports and games can develop the friendship between peoples all over the world.

22. The writer didn't tell us in this passage that ________.

A. basketball was invented in America

B. sports change with the seasons

C. games and sports often grow out of people's work and everyday activities

D. football is played all over the world

23. From this passage we can see that _______.

A. sports and games are unimportant things that people do

B. sports and games should be treated (对待) only as amusement (娱乐活动)

C. sports and games are only useful to the old

D. none of the above is true

B

Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don't care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn't seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.

Grown-ups can hardly find children's games exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.

It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.

24. What is true about children when they play games？

A. They don't need rules.

B. They want to pick a better team.

C. They can test their personal abilities.

D. they can stop playing any time they like.

25. To become a leader in a game the child has to ________.

A. play well

B. wait for his turn

C. be confident in himself

D. be popular among his playmates

26. What do we know about grown-ups？

A. They are not interested in games.

B. They find children's games too easy.

C. They don't need a reason to play games.

D. They don't understand children's games.

27. Why does a child like playing games？

A. Because he can be someone other than himself.

B. Because he can become popular among friends.

C. Because he finds he is always lucky in games.

D. Because he likes the place where he plays a game.

C

In 1997, Mary gave a present of $ 500, 000 to the University of Southern Mississippi. She wanted to help poor students. It was a very generous thing to do. But her friends and neighbors were surprised. Mary was a good woman. She went to church. She was always friendly and helpful. But everyone in her town knew that Mary was not rich. In fact, she was poor.

How did a poor 89-year-old woman have so much money? Mary was born in 1908 in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. She had to leave school when she was eight years old to help her family. She took a job washing clothes. She earned only a few dollars a day. She washed the clothes by hand. Then she hung the clothes to dry. She did this for nearly 80 years. In the 1960s, she bought an automatic washer and dryer. But she gave them away. She did not think they got the clothes clean enough！At that time, many people started to buy their own washers and dryers. Mary did not have much work, so she started to iron clothes instead.

Mary never married nor had children. Her life was very simple. She went to work and to church. She read her Bible. She had a black-and-white television. But she did not watch it very much. It had only one channel.

Mary saved money all her life and eventually had about $ 800, 000. When she was 89, a lawyer helped her make a will. She left the money to the church, her relatives and the university.

Most children have ever heard their parents yell “sit up

straight!” or “don’t slouch(脑袋耷拉)!” when they eat dinner.

Nowadays, it is also heard around another activity —video games.

Ten-year-old Owaish admits it takes him three to four hours a day to

play games on his tablet computer. In addition, he plays for about two

hours on the smart phone every day. As a result, he started suffering a

severe pain in the neck around June or July. What’s worse the pain

has spread to the hand and back gradually, which makes his mother Mehzabin become concerned.

The doctors note the number of young children with the chronic pain(慢性病) in their necks, arms and shoulders is on the increase sharp in recent years . They are not aging, they haven’t had an accident, the blood reports are fine, their X-rays are fine, and their MRIs are fine. Facts have proved that the pain is from the poor posture while they are playing video games on smart phones or other electronic devices. 19-year –old student Nida feels pain in the finger which holds the weight of her smart phone most of the day. Nida almost uses her smart phone 24/7, which means 24 hours a day, seven days a week, or all the time.

Health experts predict there will be not only physical but psychological and emotional problems resulting from the overuse of electronic devices (电子设备). They encourage people to often take breaks and exercise from using computers, smart phones or other devices. Stand up! Stretch(伸展) the legs, back, shoulders and arms in all the possible d irections. That’s the most effective way and maybe the key to solving the problem completely. After all, the medication doesn’t help sometimes.

32. What is Mehzabin worried about?

A. Her son has no table manners.

B. Her son’s physical problems get worse.

C. Her son doesn’t work hard at school.

D. Her son spends much money on games.

B. Adults don’t have the problem.

C. Using a heavy smart phone will cause it.

D. Children with it often have other diseases.

34. According to health experts, _______.

A. people should stop using smart phones

B. people must take medicine to cure the chronic pain

C. best treatment for the chronic pain is exercising

D. the chronic pain has nothing to do with one’s mental health

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

A. To Play Games Well, Sit Up Straight

B. Too Much Gaming Is A Pain In The Neck

C. How To Avoid The Pain In The Neck

D. How To Be More Fit By Playing Games

One possible version:

Dear Bill,

I’m glad to hear that you are studying in China. But you said you get quite confused sometimes, and want to know some simple Sino-US differences in body language. I think I can explain some to you.

Firstly, Americans will avoid touching. But Chinese people don’t mind physical contact — girls will even hold hands. Also, people from America protect their private space, while Chinese pay less attention to it. Last but not least, in the United States, showing your tongue is considered to be rude, while in China, it is usually an expression of embarrassment.

There are many differences in body language between China and the United States, please pay attention and use the correct body language when you are in China. I really would like to help you when you are in need.

Best wishes,

Li Hua
