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

Who doesn’t want to live life in style? Life is like a road on which you never get a chance to return, and is not a very long road either. So we should try to live life to the fullest and enjoy every bit of it.

Every individual has unique likings and preferences, and all of us try to live the lives that suit us best. The world is like a painting cloth on which different people with different races, different languages, and different cultural backgrounds interact. But among these, the arts provide an easy and natural way for people to connect.

People with a knack for the arts usually discover it in childhood. But art isn’t only for the talented; it can help everyone grow. Those with a strong artistic background are often more energetic, and more successful in all fields of life. Art widens the range of a person’s life.

Painting is one of the most popular art forms. Those who are interested in taking it up as a career need to go through extensive training to get familiar with the various styles. Professional painters often host art exhibitions, with art lovers from all

over the world coming to see and buy their creations. Sometimes the paintings are sold at high prices.

Performing arts are equally popular and admired. Dance, instrumental music, drama and so on, require unusual artistic talent as well as a long period of education and training before audiences start to applaud the performances. But anyone with some artistic sense can make art part of his/ her life, and benefit from it.

21. People should make the most of life because_______.

A. life is difficult but enjoyable time

B. life is valuable and ordinary

C. life is too short to be wasted

D. life is like a road full of tomorrows

22. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?

A. Different people have different lifestyles.

B. Different peoples have different cultures.

C. Art can make people happier.

D. Art can connect people together.

23. The underlined word “knack” in Paragraph 3 possibly means “________”.

A. character

B. ability

C. power

D. career

B

Almost all of us have thought about, or been asked to think about, our future careers. Our answers may differ greatly. Even now your selections may have changed from when you were in primary school.

However, it seems that career options are not only based on personal taste. In a survey carried out by Teens, doctors, lawyers and bankers were some of the most popular careers that people said they hoped to follow and medicine was the top choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17.

Medicine and law are two of the oldest and best known professions. Their fame may come from the fact that doctors and lawyers are some of the most admired members

of society, and they make good money. Joining these highly attractive professions

is often seen as a sign of upward social mobility(社会的流动性).

It is equally unsurprising that banking is now one of the most common career choices. Youngsters worldwide think of banking and see the money rolling in. It is increasingly becoming

one of the most important factors of a successful career. British young men list the

UK business tycoon Alan Sugar, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg as their top role models “for their money”, just as Chinese teenagers

see being a banker as a good and fun pathway to “fortune”.

However, not every child has the makings of a doctor, lawyer or banker. There

are those who see fulfillment and happiness in other areas, and many teenagers dare

to ink more

individuality into their career options. A variety of unconventional jobs--- coffee shop owner, gourmet, waiter at a fast food restaurant--- are among teenagers’ career choices. They can be equally interesting and rewarding jobs.

With every choice comes responsibility and challenge, and all career paths require specific education and training. You have to learn to balance optimism and confidence

with being realistic about your particular talents and skills.

24. According to the text, all of the followings are the benefits of being a doctor except _______.

A. high pay

B. upward social mobility

C. the oldest profession

D. respect from others

25. What is greatly considered in teenagers’ career choices?

A. Relationship.

B. Fame.

C. Finance.

D. Communication.

26. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. Responsibility is the most important thing when you choose a good job.

B. You should be realistic according to your particular talents and skills.

C. With specific education and training, you can get a job easily.

D. You must choose your favorite career according to your particular talents and

skills.

27. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?

A. A career in teenagers’ mind.

B. Teenagers dream of being doctors.

C. The choice of career needs challenge.

D. Choosing a good job is very important.

C

Researchers discovered a new snake species in Madagascar and named it “ghost snake” for its pale grey colour and trick. They studied the snake’s physical characteristics and genetics (遗传学), which showed it is a new species. The researchers Sara Ruane and her workmates from the LSU Museum of Natural Science in Madagascar named it “Madagascarophis lolo”, which means the ghost in Malagasy.

The “ghost snake” is part of cat-eyed snakes, which are often found among snakes that are active at night. Many of the cat-eyed snakes are found in developed areas or degraded (退化的) forests; however, the researchers found the “ghost snake” on the national park’s rocks.

The researchers were surprised to find the “ghost snake’s” next closest relative is a snake called “Madagascarophis fuchsia”, which was discovered at a site about 100 kilometres north of Ankarana several years ago. Both were found in rocky, isolated (孤立的) areas. “I think what’s exciting and important about this work is that even though the cat-eyed snakes could be one of the most common groups of snakes in Madagascar, there are still new species we don’t know,” Ruane said.

Ruane and her workmates discovered the “ghost snake” after hiking for more than 17 miles

in the rain from their field site to the Ankarana Park. “It was really hard and a lot of work, but the payoff was big,” Ruane said. Snakes are hard to find under good environments. So these researchers did their fieldwork during the rainy season in Madagascar when snakes and their prey (猎物) were active.

After discovering this new species, the researchers returned to the US to do the genetic study. Ruane got DNA from the “ghost snake” and “Madagascarophis fuchsia”．She compared it to decide how similar the new species was to others. And Ruane and her workmates mapped the genetic family tree. All of the researches they did supported this is a new species.

28. What is the part reason that the snake is named the “ghost snake”?

A. It has eyes that look like a cat’s.

B. It’s always active at night.

C. It’s very good at learning.

D. It has a ghost appearance.

29. Why do the researchers work in the wild during the rainy season?

A. Because it is the best season in Madagascar.

B. Because few snakes attack people in this season.

C. Because snakes and their prey are active in this season.

D. Because they can find other animals at the same time.

30. What’s the researcher’s purpose of doing the genetic study in the last paragraph?

A. To map the genetic family tree of animals.

B. To write a scientific report on snakes.

C. To find more information about this snake’s habit.

D. To ensure if the “ghost snake” is a new species.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空自处的最住选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Empty nest syndrome（综合症）is a phenomenon in which parents experience feelings of sadness and loss when the last child leaves home. You might find it difficult to suddenly have no children at home who need your care. 31 If you have only one child, you might have a particularly difficult time adjusting to an empty nest.

32 In the past, research suggested that parents dealing with empty nest syndrome experienced a sense of loss that might make them easy to experience depression, alcoholism and identity crisis. 33 When the last child leaves home, parents have a new opportunity to improve the quality of their marriage and restart interests for which they previously might not have had time.

If you’re experiencing feelings of loss due to empty nest syndrome, take action.

34 This might be an opportune time to explore or return to hobbies, leisure activities, or career pursuits.

Many suggest preparing for an empty nest while your children are still living with you.

35 They may include family vacations, long talks, and taking time off from work

to make special memories. Also, make specific plans for the extra money, time, and space that will become available when children are no longer living at home.

A. What’s the impact of empty nest syndrome?

B. You might also worry about your children’s safety.

C. What can parents do to deal with empty nest syndrome?

D. Make plans with the family while everyone is still under the same roof.

E. Social support can be incredibly helpful during times of stress and loneliness.

F. For example, time and energy that you directed toward your child can now be spent on different areas of your life.

G. However, recent studies suggest that an empty nest might reduce work and family conflicts, and provide parents with many other benefits.

For most people, graduation is an exciting day, but my graduation day was not.

I remember that weekend two years ago. Family and friends had flown in from across the country to 36 the celebration.

The weeks ahead weren’t easy. I 40 up everything I couldn’t carry and put it into storage. Then, I knew my small university town couldn’t offer me any opportunities, so I packed up my car and drove to Southern California to find work.

41 what I thought would take a week 42 into two, and then four, and 100 job applications later, I found myself in the exact same 43 as I was before.

You know that feeling when you wake up in 44 ? That feeling became a constant

in my life. Days felt like weeks, weeks like months, and those many months felt like everlasting 45 . And the most frustrating part was that no matter how much I tried, I just couldn’t seem to make any 46 .

So what did I do to keep my good sense? I decided to 47 . Something about putting words on a page made everything seem a little clearer — a little brighter. Something about writing gave me 48 . And if you want something 49 enough, sometimes a little hope is all you need!

I put my thoughts into a children’s book. Beyond the River was the story of an unlikely hero, a little fish, who 50 to give up his dream.

And then one day, without any sort of writing degree or contacts in the writing world — just a lot of hard work and 51 —I was offered a publishing contract for my first book! After that, things were 52 . I was offered a second book deal. Then, a few months later, I got an interview with the Walt Disney Company and was 53 shortly after.

Don’t give up. Even if things look 54 now, don’t give up. If you work hard, things will always get better. Often our dreams lie in wait just a little further upstream(上游). All we need is the 55 to push beyond the river.

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your anger.

56 forgiveness is possible --- and it can be 57 (surprise) beneficial to

your physical

and mental health. So far, research 58 (show) that people who forgive can have

more energy and better sleep.

So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a deep breath and think of something 59 gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.

Don’t wait for

60 apology. “Many times the person who hurts you may never think of apologizing,” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, 61 wrote the book Forgive for Good.

“They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So

if you wait for people 62 (say) sorry, you could be waiting a very long

time.” Next keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the

action of the person who upsets you. Instead, learn to look for the love, 63

(beautiful) and kindness around you. Finally, 64 (try) to see things from the other person’s position, you may realize that he or she was acting out 65 carelessness.

Eric was working in a selling business. He had been on the road visiting people for more than a month without going home. He couldn’t wait to get back to see his wife and children. It was coming up on Mother’s Day, and he usually tried to make it “back home”, but this year he was just too busy and too tired. The day when he was driving in a small town, he saw a flower shop. He said to himself, “I know what I will do, I’ll send my mother some roses.”

He stopped and went into the flower shop and saw a young man talking to the girl in it. “How many roses can I get for five dollars, Ms.?” the boy asked. The girl was trying to explain

that roses were expensive. Maybe the young man would be happy with something else.

“No. I have to have roses,” he said, “my mom was badly sick last year and I didn’t get to spend much time with her. I want to get something special. It has to be red roses, because that is her favorite.” He was stubborn.

The girl in the shop looked up at Eric and was just shaking her head. Something inside of Eric was touched by the boy’s voice. He wanted to get those roses so badly. Eric had been blessed(幸运的) in his business, and he looked at the girl and silently said that he would pay for the boy’s roses.

The girl looked at the young man and said, “OK, I will give you a dozen red roses for your dollars.” The young man almost jumped into the air. He took the flowers and ran down the store. It was worth more than fifty dollars just to see that kind of excitement.

Eric ordered his own flowers and asked the girl to have it delivered to his mother. After that, with a relief he drove down the road. Not long after his driving, he saw the boy walking to a graveyard(墓地).

Dear Peter,

It’s a pity that you quarreled with your parents. Attractive as mobile games are, they do cost your much time and energy, which does harm to your health and study. To be honest, it is our primary task to study hard now. I think what your parents did is because they care about you. How can we let them down? So it is necessary to say sorry to them and drown yourself in study.

Hope you will get on well with your parents soon.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua

Eric stopped his car and followed the young man. The young man went up to a small monument, and knelt down. He carefully put the flowers before it and began to sob. “Dear mom, I love you. But how I regret I didn’t tell it when you were with me.

I knew you loved roses, but why didn’t I send the flowers to you when I could still see you and talk with you? Now, you have gone to another world. How I regret I didn’t tell you I love you so much!”

Eric went into the car in tears. His mother’s home wasn’t far from here, but he hadn’t seen her for too long a time. He didn’t have a talk with her for too long a time and say how much he loved her for so long a time. He turned the car and drove

towards the road quickly to the flower shop. He asked the girl to give back the flowers because he wanted to send them personally to his mom.

(Text10)

For many years, people in American cities have depended on farmers in rural areas to grow fruits and vegetables. But now a new generation of farmers is planting crops in urban areas.

Sean is a college student. He wants to start a farm in the middle of Seattle, Washington. He says there are a lot of neighborhoods that don’t have ways to get healthy, fresh produce. And if they do, it can be very expensive. So he sees unused space as a great place to grow food that will make it easier for people to get good food.

Recently Sean created a website to get volunteers and donations. Within a week,

they were offered a plot of land between two houses. Twenty volunteers worked for six weekends to turn the grassy land into a farm.

Seattle has declared 2010 “The Year of Urban Agriculture ”. But the growth of these farms is limited. That is because Seattle, like a lot of other cities, has restrictions on urban farms. The City Council is now considering changing those laws.
