第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）

第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25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，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。

A

Facebook means never having to say goodbye. The social media web site has earned a reputation for

reconnecting old friends. Last week, a guy whom I hadn't seen since my graduation party five years ago sent me a friend request. I accepted and waited for him to send me a greeting of some kind. He had sought me out, after all.

I learned from his profile(简介) that he was in a relationship and had a son. However, I'm pretty sure we won’t

ever write wall-to-wall, let alone e-mail each other. But he'll remain a friend of online until one of us makes a point of removing the other from his official list.

My pool of friends consists of family members, college buddies, co-workers from past and present, and friends of friends. There are 35 in all. If I spent some time uploading old e-mail addresses, I'm confident that I could increase my friend count actually.

A person could make a mission out of reconnecting with childhood friends, former classmates, distant cousins, and those one would like to get to know better. And some people can even handle hundreds of on-screen relationships, keeping up with the daily happenings of their small army of companions. After all, there are worse fates than having too many friends.

Thanks to e-mail, the inability to schedule face-to-face meetings no longer means a friendship must come to a close. But even with e-mail, people will lose touch if one or both parties stop writing back. That's normal. People move from school to school, job to job, city to city. You never have to feel guilty for breaking away.

Every day, the masterminds of Web 2. 0 find new ways of making human communication easier. However, convenience can be a crutch. Some things shouldn't be simplified. When it comes to friendship, there can be no shortcuts.

21. According to Paragraph l, the web site is famous because _______.

A. it has an interesting name of “Facebook”

B. it helps people get in touch with old friends

C. it can send people a greeting of some kind

D. it reminds people of events in the past

22. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. There are 35 people in the author's list of friends right now.

B. The author communicates with all the 35 friends by e-mails.

C. The list of 35 friends doesn't include the old e-mail addresses.

D. It is not difficult for the author to increase his friend count.

23. What does the author think of the convenience of communicating on line?

A. The technology could not keep true friendship forever.

B. The social web site of Facebook means nothing at all.

C. There will be no ways of making real friends on line.

D. People will not lose friends with the help of the Facebook.

B

Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it? Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind. How can you use this to increase your brain power? Start writing.

By putting thoughts into words, you are telling yourself the logic（逻辑）behind what you think, feel, or only

partly understand. Often, explaining a thought is the process of understanding. In other words, you increase your brain power by exercising your “explain power.”

Try this experiment. Explain how you’ll increase your brain power, even if you have no idea how right now. Just start with anything, and create an explanation. For example, start with “I’ll learn chess,” or “I’ll read an article

on the mind every week.” Explain how that will help. You’ll be surprised how often this becomes a workable plan, and if you actually do this, you’ll have a better understanding of your b rain from now.

Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember. Many, if not most, highly productive people are always taking notes. You can try keeping it all in your head, but if you keep a journal of your ideas the next time you’re working on a big project, you’ll probably have more success.

Want to understand a topic? Write a book about it. That’s an extreme example, but if you are learning something new, write a letter to a friend about it, and you will understand it better. Want to invent something? Write an explanation of the problem, why you want to solve it, and why it is worth solving, and you’re half-way there.

Writers don’t always write because they clearly understand something beforehand. Often, they write about something because they want to understand it. You can do the same. Writing will help bring you to an understanding. Give it a try.

24. What would be the best title for the text?

A. A Way on How to Write.

B. Increase Your Brain Power through Writing.

C. Brain Power Helps Improve Your Writing.

D. How to Start Your Writing.

25. If a writer writes something, it means that he or she .

A. has understood it very well

B. needs to understand it better

C. wants to remember it in his or her mind

D. is exercising his or her “explain power”

26. The underlined sentence “you’re half-way there” in the fifth paragraph implies that.

A. you are already successful

B. you still need to work hard

C. writing can help you walk half way

D. writing is important to solve problems

27. What’s the main purpose of the writer writing the text?

A. To advise readers to start their writing.

B. To explain the importance of writing.

C. To persuade readers to become writers.

D. To increase readers’ brain power.

C

"Reduce, reuse and recycle, this familiar environmentalist slogan tells us how to reduce the amount of rubbish that ends up in landfills and waterways.

The concept is being used to deal with one possibly dangerous form of waste – electronic junk , such as old computers, cell-phones, and televisions. But this process for managing e-waste may be used in an immoral way more often than not used, a recent report suggests.

“A lot of these materials are being sent to developing nations under the excuse of reuse – to bridge the digital divide,” said Richard Gutierrez, a policy researcher.

One of the problems is that no one proves whether these old machines work before they hit the seaways. Because of this, the report says, e-waste is a growing problem in Lagos, Nigeria, and elsewhere in the developing world. Much of the waste ends up being thrown away along rivers and roads. Often it’s picked apart by poor people, who may face dangerous exposure to poisonous chemicals in the equipment.

Businessmen also pay workers a little money to get back materials such as gold and copper. This low-tech recovery process could expose workers and the local environment to many dangerous materials used to build electronics. According to Gutierrez, this shadow economy exists because the excuse of recycling and reusing electronics gives businessmen “a green passport” to ship waste around the globe. “Developing nations must take

upon s ome of the responsibility themselves,” Gutierrez said. But, he added, “A greater portion of this responsibility should fall on the exporting state.”

China, for example, has become a dumping place for large amounts of e-waste. The nation is beginning to take action to stop the flow of dangerous materials across its borders. The Chinese government, after many years of denial, is finally beginning to take the lead.

28.What does the fourth paragraph mainly discuss?

A. Old computers and TVs still work before they are sent abroad.

B. Poor people break up e-waste to collect some valuable materials.

C. A lot of e-waste is reused in developing countries.

D. The problem of e-waste is growing in developing countries.

29. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.

A. China has hidden a large amount of e-waste in many secret places

B. China has greatly changed her idea about the problem of e-waste

C. China has prevented poisonous materials from entering China for a long time

D. China is falling behind other countries in dealing with e-waste

30. The passage mainly tells us that _______.

A. developing countries are facing serious environmental problems

B. e-waste is a growing problem in developed countries

C. e-waste is sent to developing countries under the excuse of reuse

D. developing countries are making full use of e-waste

First Aid for Drowning

Recently I learned some knowledge about first aid in English class.It is very useful because we have learned about what to do to help someone who has an accident.If someone becomes the victim of a near-drowning (心脏未停搏则称溺水,否则为溺死), this fast-action rescue plan can prevent a tragedy.Your first priority is to get the drowning person out of the water as quickly as possible. If he isn't breathing, place him on his back on a firm surface. Immediately begin rescue breathing(人工呼吸), and have someone call for help at the same time.. Don't assume it's too late to save a someone's life -- even if he's unresponsive, continue performing CPR(cardiopulmonary resuscitation心肺复苏) and do not stop until medical professionals take over.

.Possible answer:

Paragraph 1

The officer was so angry that he asked the policeman to beat him up again. The farmer was very afraid, he thought he would be sentenced to death by killing people, but he didn’t, he was innocent.

He must tell people the truth, but no one could hear his voice. he hoped that someone could come and save him.

Paragraph 2

The farmer was lucky .A few days later, a young man came to the police station with a lot of journalists, saying that he saw the murderer. It was the police officer who killed the man on the snow! He saw the police office used a knife killing the man late in the evening. he was so frightened and ran away. But the young man thought the farmer was innocent. So he took the great courage to expose the real criminal. After the investigation, the young man was right. The police officer was sent into prison and the policeman who beat up the farmer was fired, and the brave young man was regarded as the hero by the villagers
