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。

A

Exploit your parking space

An unused parking space or garage can make money. If you live near a city center or an airport, you could make anything up to ￡200 or ￡300 a week. Put an advertisement for free on Letpark or Atmyhousepark.

Rent（出租）a room

Spare room Not only will a lodger（房客）earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government-backed “rent a room” program, you won’t have to pay any tax on the first ￡4500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy.

Make money during special events

Don’t want a full-time lodger? Then rent on a short-term basis. If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money. Grashpadder can advertise your space.

Live on set

Renting your home out as a “film set” could earn you hundreds of pounds a day, depending on the film production company and how long your home is needed. A quick search on the Internet will bring up dozens of online companies that allow you to register your home for free—but you will be charged if your home gets picked.

Use your roof

You need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost of fixing solar equipment (around ￡14,000), and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return, they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. However, you have to sign a 25-year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof.

21. If you earn ￡5000 from renting a room in one year, the tax you need to pay will be based on ______.

A. ￡800

B. ￡500

C. ￡4500

D. ￡5000

22. Where can you put an advertisement to rent out a room during a big event？

A. On Letpark.

B. On Roomspare.

C. On Grashpadder.

D. On Roommateeasy.

23. If you want to use energy free, you have to_____.

A. sign an agreement with the government

B. pay around ￡14,000 for the equipment

C. sell the roof to some energy companies

D. keep the roof unchanged for within 25 years

24.For whom the text most probably written？

A. Lodgers.

B. Advertisers.

C. House owners.

D. Online companies

B

Danielle Steel, America's sweetheart, is one of the hardest working woman in the book business. Unlike other productive authors who write one

book at a time, she can work on up to five. Her research before writing takes at least three years. Once she has fully studied her subjects, ready to dive into a book, she can spend twenty hours nonstop at her desk. Danielle Steel comes from New York and was sent to France for her education. After graduation, she worked in the public relations and advertising industries. Later she started a job as a writer which she was best fit for. Her achievements are unbelievable: 390 million copies of books in print, nearly fifty New York Times best-selling novels, and a series of “Max and Martha” picture books for children to help them deal with the real-life problem of death, new babies and new schools. Her 1998 book about the death of her was shot to the top of the New York Times best-selling list as soon as it came out. Twenty-eight of her books have been made into films. She is listed in the Guinness Books of World Records for one of her books being the Times best-seller for 381 weeks straight. Not content with a big house, a loving family, and a view of the Golden Gate Bridge, Danielle Steel considers her readers to be the most important resource and has kept in touch with them by e-mail. While she is often compared to the heroines（女主人公）of her own invention. Her life is undoubtedly much quieter. But if she does have anything in common with them, it is her strength of will and her inimitable(独特的）style. There is only one Danielle Steel.

25．Children who have read “Max and Martha” pictu re books may know ________.

A．how to deal with affairs at school

B．what to do if Max and Martha die

C．what to do when new babies are born into their families

D．she wrote the Guinness Book of World Records

27．We can learn from the passage that Danielle Steel ________.

A．lives an exciting life B．values her readers a lot

C．writes about quiet women D．is pleased with her achievements

C

How I Turned to Be Optimistic

I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.

I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see-—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then. The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."

My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers（移民局官员）, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed

telephone bills with company representatives.

From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.

28. How did the author get to know America?

A. From her relatives.

B. From her mother.

C. From books and pictures.

D. From radio programs.

29. Upon leaving for America, the author felt_______.

A. confused

B. excited

C. worried

D. amazed

30. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4?

A. She worked as a translator.

B. She attended a lot of job interviews.

C. She paid telephone bills for her family.

D She helped her family with her English.

31. The author believes that______.

A. her future will be free from troubles

B. it is difficult to learn to become patient

C. there are more good things than bad things

D. good things will happen if one keeps trying

D

Being able to count at least ten people as friends makes us happy，but those with five or fewer are likely to be miserable，researchers say. Their study of hundreds of men and women also found that people who feel satisfied with their lives always have lots of close friends and regularly make new ones.

While it is not clear whether our friends make us happy or we make friends because we are happy，the researchers say it is clear that we should maintain our friendships. Psychologist Richard Tunney said，“Wha tever

the reason is，actively working on friendships in the same way as to maintain a marriage is a prerequisite(必备条件) to happiness.”

Dr.Tunney，of Nottingham University，quizzed more than 1,700 people about their satisfaction with their lives and the state of their friendships. Those with five friends or fewer had just a 40 percent chance of being happy.

In other words they were more likely to be unhappy than happy. Ten was the first number at which people were more likely to be happy than unhappy. The happiest people were those with dozens of friends，according to the study，which was carried out for the National Lottery(彩票)．

For women，this meant having 33 friends；for men，the number was 49. Dr.Tunney said，“People who were extremely satisfied with their li ves had twice the number of friends of people who were extremely dissatisfied.” Women tended to have fewer friends than men but formed tighter relationships.

Interestingly，the study found that childhood friends are no more likely to make us happy than people we become close to later in life. Lottery winners，however，have a different opinion on life. They are always happier than others despite spending their time with a small circle of old friends. This could be because they trust people they’ve known for a long time. 32．What’s the best title for this passage?

A．The Secret to Happiness Is to Make New Friends

B．Having at Least 10 Good Friends Makes People Happy

C．Why Most People Like to Make Friends Regularly

D．Men’s and Women’s Friends Are Different

33．Which of the following opinions may Richard Tunney NOT agree with?

A．People with few friends are sure to be unhappy.

B．Our friends can make us happy.

C．Happiness may come from a good marriage life.

D．We may become happier if we have more friends.

34．According to the passage，lottery winners ________.

A．enjoy making new friends

B．make new friends easily

C．like staying with old friends

D．have no time to make friends

35．We can conclude from the passage that ________.

A．it’s enough for one person to have ten friends

B．unhappy people must have few friends

C．childhood friends make people happier than adulthood ones

D．friendships play a major role in people’s life

The giant panda is not only a rare animal in China but also one of the rarest animals on the earth. It is loved by people all over the world. The home of the giant panda is in the mountains, where it feeds on the tender bamboo leaves. As more and more forests are being destroyed and most of the bamboo has been cut down, it is becoming more and more difficult for giant pandas to find food for themselves. To save pandas, China has set up some nature reserves. But more money is needed to carry out this important rescue project.

It is our eager hope that people who care for the conservation of rare animals will lend us a hand to help save giant pandas, so that they can live with us forever.
