第二部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分,满分40分）

第一节阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中,选出最佳选项。

A

People in the western state of California who are in the United States illegally can now request a driver's license. The law went into effect on January l. California is not the first American state with such a law, but it has the largest number of illegal immigrants. More than a million people began to request licenses shortly after the new state law went into effect. Among them was Christian Alvarado. Mr. Alvarado entered the United States from El Salvador eight years ago without permission from the U.S. government. Some call such people "illegal immigrants." Others call them "undocumented immigrants". Mr. Alvarado thinks it so exciting, for he has been waiting for the license for a long time. But some are worried that their personal information will be used to find them and deport them. Armando Botello is a spokesman for the California Department of Motor Vehicles, or DMV. He says people should not be afraid, for such information will not be shared.

The new licenses are the same as licenses given to citizens except that they have the words "Federal Limits Apply". That means the license cannot be used to travel on an airplane or enter a federal building. Ana Garcia, working at the Central American Resource Center, says some illegal immigrants fear those words will be used to abuse them. Civil rights groups say the police and others will not.

Dan Schnur, a political scientist at the University of Southern California, said that the main argument against the new law is that it rewards illegal behavior. But Professor Schnur argued that young, white Americans generally support immigration reform, including giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants "It's simply because they grew up in a much more multicultural society than their parents or their grandparents did." Professor Schnur says he believes the changes in beliefs about illegal immigrants that have taken place in California will spread throughout the United States.

21. Why did the new law make Mr. Alvarado excited?

A. Because he can request a driver's license.

B. Because he became a legal immigrant of California.

C. Because he got his driving license as an illegal immigrant.

D. Because a law went into effect for the new immigrants.

22. What is the difference of the new licenses compared to those given to citizens'?

A. The words “Federal Limits Apply” will abuse illegal immigrants

B. They can't be used to travel on an airplane or enter a federal building.

C. They can be used to act against the police and other people.

D. With the words "Federal Limits Apply", immigrants can enjoy special rights.

23. What's the public's attitude towards the new law released on January l in California?

A. supportive

B. negative

C. neutral

D. controversial

B

◆Walking tall, and safely

Some women simply refuse to give up high heels, despite slush (雪泥), ice and snow. Now there's Winter Trax for them, designed to fit over high-heel boots and make their walk on the wild side a little more safe. Metal coils (圈) wrap around rubber at the front end of the shoe, with the heel end open.

◆Snow skirt steps up into fashion

Down with snow pants. Up with snow skirts! Montreal's Fantasy World Heroes has created these skirts to layer over minis and jeans as the snow season sets in. In a range of colors and available in wool, and quiltings, they come in four sizes and adjustable.

◆

Doc Martens, those army-inspired leather boots, are back. They were last popular when Kurt Cobain was all the rage (风靡一时). So far, just a few teens and fashion people have been spotted wearing the slight fat boots, but they have already appeared on stylish models like Irina Lazareanu and Agyness Deyn.

Neon stores sold Doc Martens 15 years ago and its owner Irving Tajfel wasn't sure at first if he was ready to relive the trend.

"I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Doc Martens at a fashion fair in Barcelona last year. Then I saw all the cool fashion kids wearing them in Paris. That got me thinking that it was about time Doc Martens came back in style here." Tajfel said.

24. We can know from the passage that WinterTrax .

A. makes women like Doc Martens more

B. protects the back end of high-heel boots

C. makes women enjoy high-heel boots in winter

D. protects women from being robbed

25. When in Barcelona last year, Irving Tajfel probably _ .

A. wore a pair of Doc Martens

B. found Doc Martens was put on show

C. placed an order for Doc Martens

D. saw fashion kids wearing Doc Martens

26. Which of the following can be used to fill in the blank?

A. Leather boots are popular again

B. Kurt Cobain and its music

C. How to choose high-quality boots

D. Doc Martens make a brave return

27. What is this passage mainly about?

A. High-heel boots.

C. Clothes fashion.

D. Weather.

C

Can eating a chocolate bar every day really prevent age-related memory loss? No. But a new research shows that large amounts of flavones, substances found in cocoa, tea and some kinds of vegetables, may improve age-related memory failure.

Dr. Scott Small is a professor of neurology (神经病学) at Columbia University in new York City. He is the lead writer of a research paper describing the effects of cocoa flavones on brain activity. His study involved 37 volunteers aged between 50 and 69. Researchers gave them a high-level flavones drink made from cocoa beans or a low-level flavones drink. For a period of three months, some subjects got 900 milligrams of flavones a day. The others got 10 milligrams of flavones each day. Brain imaging and memory tests were given to each study subject before and after the study. Dr. Small says that the subjects who had the high-level flavones drink showed much improvement on memory tests.

The researchers warn that more work is needed to be done because this study was performed only on a small group. Dr. Joann Manson is the lead researcher of a four-year study involving 18,000 adults. This study will use flavones capsules(胶囊). The study subjects will be divided into two groups and will take two pills per day. The capsules used will all look the same. But one group's capsules will contain flavones, while the other group will take capsules made of an inactive substance, or placebo

Dr. Manson says it's not necessary for people to start eating more chocolate, because 3 persons would have to eat a huge amount of chocolate to get the same level of flavones given to the rest subjects. He adds many manufacturers have planned to remove the flavones from their chocolate products. Similarly, Dr. Manson says a cocoa-based flavones extract（提取）may be developed in the future But he says that more studies are needed to see how much flavones is good for our health. 28. What was done to the subjects after Dr. Small's study?

A. They were asked to take a high-level flavones drink.

B. They were given capsules containing flavones.

C. They were given brain imaging and memory tests.

D. They were asked to take two pills of flavones capsules per day.

29. What's the similarity of the two experiments?

A. Both use high-level flavones capsules.

B. The number of the subjects is the same.

C. Drinks and placebos are used in both experiments.

D. The subjects are divided into two groups in both experiments.

30. Why will Dr. Manson carry out the four-year study?

A. To prove the first experiment is wrong.

B. To carry out the experiment further.

C. To test how much flavones can improve our memory.

D. To show eating chocolate is better to improve memory.

31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A It's not necessary for us to eat chocolate.

B The more we eat flavones, the better our health will be.

C. In the future we can get flavones without eating chocolate.

D. It's easy for people to get the same level of flavones given to the test subjects.

D

All you have is what you bring with you

I've always felt a need to be prepared for whatever situation I've found myself in.

My mother once took me to a store when I was seven years old. She and I got to the checkout counter, and she realized she had forgotten a couple of things on her shopping list. She left me with the cart and ran off to get what she needed.

"I'll be right back." she said.

She was gone just a few minutes, but in that time, I had loaded all the things on the belt and everything was rung up. I was left staring at the cashier, who was staring at me." Do you have money for me, son?" she said. "I'll need to be paid."

I didn't realize she was just trying to amuse herself. So I stood there, ashamed and embarrassed.

By the time my mom returned, I was angry. "You left me here with no money! This lady asked me for the money, and I had nothing to give her!"

Now that I'm an adult, you'll never catch me with less than $200 in my wallet. I want to be prepared in case I need it.

I've always admired people who are over-prepared. In college, I had a classmate named Norman. One day he was giving a presentation on an overhead projector (投影仪) and in the middle of his talk, the light bulb（灯泡）on the projector blew out. We would have to wait ten minutes until someone found a new' projector.

"It's Okay." he announced. "There's nothing to worry about."

We watched him walk over to his bag and pull something out. He had brought along a spare bulb for the Overhead projector. Who could even think of that?

I often told my students, "When you go into the wilderness, the only thing you can depend on is what you take with you." And essentially, the wilderness is anywhere but your home or office. So take money. Pack a light bulb. Be prepared.

32. Why did the cashier ask a seven-year-old boy to pay for the purchases'?

A. The boy was shopping by himself.

B. The boy's mother asked her to do so.

C. The cashier was playing a joke on him.

D. The boy's mother was away for something else.

33. Why was the boy angry with his mother?

A. His mother left him alone.

B. He lost face in front of the cashier.

C. His mother forgot to buy something.

D. He had just quarreled with the cashier.

34. Why did Norman bring a spare bulb with him?

A. He was always well-prepared.

B. His presentation was about bulbs.

C. He knew the classroom equipment was of poor quality.

D. He predicted the bulb on the projector would blow out.

35. What do the two stories tell us?

A. Accidents happen almost every day.

B. Money is the key that opens all doors.

C. In fair weather, prepare for a rainy day.

D. Chances favor those who are well-prepared.

第二节根据短文内容,从文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

E

Have you heard about Leap year? Leap year is a year that has 366 days instead of the usual 365. It normally occurs every four years, always on an even-numbered year. The extra day is added to our shortest month. That is the second month of the year, which in non-leap years has 28 days, two fewer than any other month. 36

We also call Leap year the bissextile year (闰年). 37 In our calendar system there is a need for a leap year because the solar year (the time it takes the earth to go around the sun once）is actually slightly more than 365 days long. That extra day—Feb 29 every four years—helps correct the difference between our calendar and the solar calendar.

It is said that Leap year was first made part of the calendar by the ancient Roman leader Julius Caesar. His astronomers had calculated the length of the solar year to be 365 days and six hours. So Caesar declared that an extra day be added to the calendar. 38

However, Caesar’s adjustment was not completely accurate because his astronomers’ year exceeded the true solar year by eleven minutes and fourteen seconds. By 1582, a difference of ten days had developed between the calendar year and the true solar year. To correct this error, Pope Gregory XⅢruled that every fourth year would continue to be a leap year except for century years that could not be divided evenly by 400. By this system, century years such as 1700, 1800, and 1900 were not leap years, but the year 2000 was a leap year. 39

People born on Feb 29 celebrate their growing up a little differently from the rest of us.

40 But if they go strictly by the calendar, they have only one-fourth as many birthday celebrations as most people.

A. They acknowledge that they get older each year.

B. When you see Feb 29 on a calendar, you know that year is a leap year.

C. This is its formal, or scientific title.

D. This may seem complicated, but it works.

E. In a leap year, the extra day is added to the second month, giving it 29 instead of the usual 28

days

F. The leap year was introduced in the Julian calendar in 46 BC.

G. This is done every four years.

There is a fine line between a parent who is active and open-minded and one that doesn’t know when to let go（放手）.

Dear Diana,

Thank you for the lovely day we have with you. It was so kind for you to let us bring Anne's friend, Gina. Unfortunate, the only problem was the journey home. There had been a terrible accident on the highway and, for a result, there was a long line of traffic for at least six mile. In the end, we drove to a service station and waited there unless the road was clear. In the car park here Gina nearly got knocked over as car drove out far too quickly from behind a lorry. They finally dropped Gina off at her parents' and made our own way to home.

Much love,

Fiona
