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A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

It is quite natural for all of us to want to preserve and protect the foods we purchase. With that in mind, weoften think that the best way to do that is by putting them in our refrigerators. However, that is not always the case.

Bread

Nothing dries out bread faster than your refrigerator. In the event that you have made sandwiches with the bread,then you can place them in the fridge. The cold temperature will make the bread tough and chewy.

Tomato

We all love tomatoes for their taste. But putting them in the refrigerator will cause them to lose all of their flavor (口味). Plus，the cold air in the cooler stops the ripening process as well. And as we all know, ripening is what

gives every tomato more taste and flavor. For best results, keep tomatoes out, and inside a basket or a bowl on your

counter.

Salad

Oil or vinegar based salad can be stored for a long period of time without refrigeration. Moreover, refrigeration of salad dressings brings bad smell to them. Keep in mind that some salads that are mayo (蛋黄酱) or yogurt based

should be refrigerated in order to keep them fine. So if you have some salads that have been already dressed, you can

keep them away from your fridge without any hesitation.

Egg

It is a long debate whether you should keep eggs inside your refrigerator or not. One study suggests that keeping eggs whether in a refrigerator or not does not change their normal

qualities, so it can be said that if you keep

eggs at room temperature，there should not be any problem. There is another study that shows that keeping eggs

inside the refrigerators has a bad effect on the natural taste and flavor of eggs, so it is wise to keep eggs outside of

your fridge.

21. Which of the following lose (s) water quickest in the cooler?

A. Bread.

B. Tomatoes.

C. Salad.

D. Eggs.

22. What should we do with tomatoes to get the best taste?

A. Put them in the cooler.

B. Cook them at once.

C. Make them ripen faster.

D. Leave them in the shade.

23. What will go bad easily without refrigeration?

A. Dressed salad.

B. Mayo and yogurt.

C. Oil and vinegar.

D. Salad dressings.

24. What do we know about the idea of keeping eggs in the fridge?

A. It’s interesting.

B. It’s brilliant.

C. It’s ridiculous.

D. It’s controversial.

B

Gertrude was just an average kid with an average life. She lived in an average sized house in an average neighborhood. At home, she helped out just enough to get by. At school, she did just enough homework to stay out

of trouble. She had straight Cs in all of her classes.

One day Gertrude’s teacher, Mr. Mister, stopped her after class. “Gertrude,” he said, “ I know that you can do better. I’ve seen the work you do in class, and some of it is amazing… Way better than C work.” Gertrude knew that

there were moments when she tried a little harder than what everyone expected. But she just didn’t have confidence

in herself. She didn’t really believe that she could change；in fact, she was scared by the thought of having the

power to become whatever she wanted. She stopped listening to Mr. Mister about half way through his speech and

just nodded her head until he stopped.

That night, Gertrude had a dream. It was ten years into the future and she was still living with her mom in her average neighborhood. A voice spoke in the dream: “The present is nothing more than the outcome of the choices

made in the past. The future will be the results of the choices we make today. ” Gertrude started crying average sized

tears，because she knew that she helped shape the world in which she lived, and the choices she made produced the

options she had. She woke up with her pillow wet.

Gertrude was relieved to be back in middle school. She took a little more care in getting herself ready that morning, and she felt better than normal. She tried harder in school, and she felt smarter than usual. She helped more

around the house, and it looked better. Sure, there were still lots of things that Gertrude struggled with, but just

trying her best made her feel better when she didn’t succeed. Gertrude even became great at failing by learning from

her mistakes.

25. Which of the following words can best describe Gertrude in Paragraph 1 ?

A. Popular

B. Optimistic.

C. Ordinary.

D. Modest.

26. Where did Gertrude’s problem actually lie?

A. In herself.

B. In her family.

C. In her teacher.

D. In her studies.

27. What can we say for sure about Gertrude from the last paragraph?

A. She suffered more.

B. She failed in her attempts.

C. She changed fundamentally.

D. She was glad about failures.

C

With the explosion of consumer choices in recent history, the latest must -haves would surely need to be upgraded more often than every 10 years. In 2002 a computer and basic mobile phone would have been enough for

most people, but now? The public need a trendy notebook computer and a smart phone with WiFi connection to feel

they are up-to-date. So when will we have enough things? When will we finally be happy? Well, it looks like the

things we buy today will barely keep us satisfied for a few months.

In the eyes of some psychologists, far from making us happy, greater consumer choice creates many serious psychological problems. A fundamental principle of the society is that more freedom is better and more choice in the

marketplace means more freedom. Therefore more choice leads to more happiness. This is not the case, however.

Imagine you go to a café offering chocolate and vanilla ice cream. You choose the chocolate and eat it happily.

But what if the café serves 50 kinds of ice cream? You choose chocolate and then start to worry, “maybe blueberry would have been better, perhaps the half-fat ice cream would have been healthier. Stupid me, all these choices and I

didn’t make the best one!”

In China’s major cities we have now passed the point where more consumer choice is making us happier. We are annoyed by all the options we have, disappointed because our expectations are so high and angered at ourselves

when we don’t make a perfect choice every time.

A newspaper reporter tells a story about traveling on a plane with high -speed Internet access. He thought this was amazing — the newest piece of technology he had heard of. Then the service went down. The man next to

him was angry and swore. The reporter thought, “How quickly the world owes him something he knew existed only

10 seconds ago!”

28. What is the text mainly talking about?

A. Hi-tech and consumer needs.

B. Computers and smart phones.

C. Wireless products and WiFi connection.

D. Diverse choices and consumer satisfaction.

29. What may some psychologists think of the consumer demand in the café?

A. Variety leads to unhappiness.

B. More choice means more freedom.

C. The consumer has mental problems.

D. The shop provides too many choices.

30. Why was the man next to the reporter quite annoyed?

A. Someone owed him money.

B. The net connection was interrupted.

C. The air hostess offered poor service.

D. The pleasure lasted only 10 seconds.

31. What does the underlined word “swore” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A. Fell asleep.

B. Made promises.

C. Said rude words.

D. Became amazed.

D

Dolphin (海豚) or not a dolphin? That is the question! You see, there are several types of dolphins. Some are saltwater dolphins while others are river dolphins.

“What are the 32 types of dolphins?” When people are asking the question, they are actually referring to the saltwater dolphins in oceans and seas. The river dolphins living in fresh water are not included in these species (物

种). But what would be the answer in this case if we ask, “Dolphin or not a dolphin?” The answer would obviously

be yes. River dolphins still belong to the dolphin family.

Among the 32 types of dolphins, some do not actually wear the word “dolphin” in their

names, such as the tucuxi, while others actually have the word “whale” as part of their names even if they are not whales but in fact,

belong to the dolphin family, for example, the melon -headed whale and the killer whale. So what would be the

answer to the question “dolphin or not a dolphin?” in these cases? It would be yes. All these species do belong to the

dolphin family.

Another question that people ask is, “Are the sea animals that perform at aquariums (水族馆) all dolphins?” So, it always seems to come back to the question, “Dolphin or not a dolphin?” Well the answer is no in this case. The sea

animals that perform there are not all dolphins. The beluga which people tend to think belong to the dolphin family

because they show what seems like a smile, like most dolphins, are in fact a species of the whale family.

Now that you read these facts about dolphins, you probably realize that certain sea animals may appear to bepart of the dolphin species and that others seem to be part of the whale family but in either case, it is not obvious and

can be surprising when you identify a sea animal as being a dolphin or not a dolphin. That is the question!

32. Which of the following actually belongs to the whale family?

A. The tucuxi.

B. The beluga.

C. The killer whale.

D. The melon-headed whale.

33. What do we know about the majority of the dolphins?

A. They perform for audience.

B. They appear friendly.

C. They look like whales.

D. They live in fresh water.

34. What could be added about dolphins before the last paragraph if you were the author?

A. The living area.

B. Dolphin training.

C. The eating habits.

D. Further identification.

35. This article can be classified as ________.

A. popular science

B. literary fiction

C. a news report

D. a travel diary

Hello! My name is Aurora Carlson. I was born in England, educated in both the French and American schooling systems, and lived most of my life in various places around the United States.

_36_

This undying love for everything Chinese started when I was 16. On somewhat of a whim (奇想), I decided to spend a year as an exchange student in Beijing, attending a local Chinese High School and living with a wonderful

Chinese host family. _37_ After just one year, I became mad about everything in here.

_38_ I received a B. A. in Chinese and East Asian Studies from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and can speak and write Mandarin Chinese on a near-native level. Though I am fully aware of the land and have traveled

quite a lot throughout the country, my curiosity in the studies of China never fades. _39_ A place that once upon a

time seemed such a faraway land now feels like a second home, a home with the most welcoming of neighbors.

In my free time, I love to do yoga and cook. _40_ I hope you join me in Rediscovering China, to explore this wonderful place from a unique foreign viewpoint.

A. I graduated from University of California, Berkeley.

B. I find it really hard to put down Chinese history books.

C. Unfortunately, I have not yet mastered Chinese cuisine.

D. I have landed at CCTV by way of a strong interest in China.

E. On the contrary, it seems that the more I learn, my interest grows even stronger.

F. Before this, I really had no knowledge or connection to this faraway land, just young curiosity.

G. Since then, my life has seemed to focus on gaining a better understanding of the country and its people.

I got on the bus and noticed a girl looking at me. With the warmest smiles, she rose and _41_ into the aisle (过道)，offering her seat to me politely and respectably. I was wrong-footed, then conflicted. “No,” I _42_ silently,

holding back a laugh from within, “I come from a _43_ where I do that for you.” I realized immediately what a _44_

place that was.

Speech failed me; I burnt with _45_. Later, I reflected that this was an act of _46_. I bowed in recognition, _47_felt I bowed with shame. I am fit, able, strong. In my head，I am _48_ She shocked me by making me so acutely

aware of my _49_ years.

To accept the seat was to accept that _50_ status — elderly, needy, requiring care — a status I was not yet_51_ to acquire. To decline was to _52_ an act of generosity. To turn a blind eye was to appear _53_ and impolite. To

explain, on a _54_ bus, was impossible.

The _55_ situation was played out before the other passengers. What if, once I was seated, an older person _56_and no one offered a seat? Should I remain seated and burn with shame, or stand and _57_ my newly received gift a

slap (巴掌) in the face for the kind and caring girl?

_58_ I took the seat, smiled and _59_ my head on to my chest. The bus came to a stop. I got up, walked slowly,_60_ and noisily down the aisle and out into the rain.
