第二部分：阅读理解（共两节20小题，每小题2分，满分40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。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．

A

On a cool November afternoon in Fleming Island, Florida, Melissa Hawkinson, 41, was driving her five-year-old twins home from school when she saw a sudden splash in Doctors Lake just ahead. What was that? She thought. As she drove up to the scene, she saw a half-submerged car sinking about 30 yards offshore. “It was going down pretty quickly,” Hawkinson recalls. She stopped the car near the boat ramp and ran toward the water. Water is going to be cold, she thought.

She took off her vest and leather boots, got into the icy water, and swam to the car, where she found Cameron Dorsey, five, trapped into his car as the swirling water rose around him.

Hawkinson tried to open the door, but it was locked. So she pushed and pulled hard on the partially open window until she could reach through and unlock the door. She pulled the boy free, swam to shore, and handed him off to onlookers who were only watching them on a dock. The driver, the boy’s suicidal father, swam back to land on his own. Afterward, Hawkinson sat on the shore wrapped in a blanket. “For ten or 15 minutes, I c ouldn’t stop shaking,” she said.

There’s nothing visibly extraordinary about Melissa Hawkinson, an energetic stay-at-home mom with brown hair and a sweet smile. Yet something made her different from the dockside onlookers that day. Why do some people act quickly, willing to take a risk for a stranger? What makes them run toward danger rather than away from it? Hawkinson, the

Granite Mountain Hotshots (能手，高手)---19 of whom lost their life this past summer in Arizona--- every hero who puts his or her life on the line to save another: what makes them brave?

Moreover, can bravery be learned, or is it a quality with which you are born? The answer is complex. Bravery taps the mind, brain and heart. It comes from instinct, training and sympathy. Today, neurologists, psychologists and other researchers are studying bravery, trying to uncover the mystery.

21. It can be learned from the passage that _______.

A. Melissa Hawkinson was a 41-year-old nurse

B. Melissa Hawkinson was kind and courageous.

C. Melissa Hawkinson was picking up her five-year-old son

D. it was spring when the accident happened

22. What conclusion can we draw from the third paragraph?

A. No one else was available except Melissa Hawkinson.

B. The father committed suicide because of the divorce.

C. The father was saved in the end by Melissa Hawkinson.

D. Not everyone was ready to risk saving the five-year-old boy..

23. How does the writer find other people on the dockside?

A. Warm and ready to help

B. Thoughtful

C. Kind of cold-blooded

D. Not skillful at swimming

24. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?

A. To set us thinking what makes people brave.

B. To call on us to learn from such people as Hawkinson.

C. To remind people of risk while saving others.

D. To show people bravery can be learned.

B.

Make Up Your Mind to Succeed

Kind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure. The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because “everyone’s a winner.” And their report cards sounded more positive than ever before. As a result, Stanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them “the overpraised generation.”

Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it. Here’s how they work:

A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent is genetic –you’r e a born artist, point guard, or numbers person. The fixed mind-set believes it’s sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame. When things get difficult, it’s quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.

On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible. Because the ego (自尊) isn’t on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When faced with a difficulty, it’s quick to rethink, change and try again. In fact, it enjoys this experience.

We are all born with growth mind-sets. (Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to live in the world.) But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise. Dweck’s book, Mind-set: The New Psychology of Success, and online instructional program explain this in depth. But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.

28. What does the author think about the present generation?

A. They don’t do well at school.

B. They are often misunderstood.

C. They are eager to win in sports.

D. They are given too much praise.

29. A fixed mind-set person is probably one who ___ .

A. cannot share his ideas with others

B. cares a lot about personal safety

C. doesn’t want to work hard

D. can succeed with the help of teachers

30. What does the growth mind-set believe?

A. Admitting failure is shameful.

B. Getting over difficulties is enjoyable.

C. Scores should be highly valued.

D. Talent comes with one’s birth.

31. What should parents do for their children based on Dweck’s study?

A. Encourage them to learn from failures.

B. Prevent them from making mistakes.

C. Guide them in doing little things.

D. Help them grow with praise.

D

The 21st century coal technology is a major environmental success story that enables society to balance important energy and economic and environmental goals when it achieves the final goal of making coal power emissions-free( 零排放).

The numbers tell an amazing story: In the United States, coal-fueled electricity has nearly been three times in step with a doubling of GDP since 1970. During the period, coal’s efficiency greatly improved, with key emissions rates per megawatt(兆瓦特) hour decreasing by 89 percent.

The next generation of advanced coal technologies continues to build on this progress. The Prairie State Energy Campus in American’s Heartland is a prime example. Prairie State provides electricity for 2.5 million families and is the largest new coal-fueled power plant brought on line, starting up in 2012. It’s al so among the cleanest coal plants in America.

Prairie State has invested $1 billion in control technologies, resulting in emissions rates that are about two-thirds the average of the existing U.S. coal fleet. Even carbon dioxide emissions rates are as much as 25 percent lower thanks to plant efficiencies. A single large plant like Prairie State has the equal environmental benefit of taking one million cars off the road.

Prairie State is a clean source of energy, and it’s also an engine for economic strength. Over the next 30 years , Prairie State will contribute more than $22 billion to the local economy.

A study by Management Information Services concludes that by replacing older U.S. coal plants with supercritical (超临界的)

technology, the United States will realize about $ 1,200 billion increase in economic output, create 6 million jobs, add $500 billion in personal income and an additional $200 billion in tax revenues(税收).

The addition of each advanced supercritical plant can help build energy security and provide stable, affordable electricity in the United States and around the world. The future of the technology is bright: 569,000 megawatts of supercritical coal plants are in operation or under construction worldwide. In the United States, about half of all new coal-fueled power plants use high-efficiency, low–emissions technologies and this number continues to grow.

32. The major goal of the 21st century coal technology is to _____________.

A. make coal power emissions-free

B. create as many jobs as possible.

C. promote the economic growth in the U.S.

D. provide more electricity for people.

33.The underlined part in paragraph 3 probably means____________.

A. coming onto the market

B. taking into effect

C. going into operation

D. being under construction.

34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Prairie State is the largest power plant in the U.S.

B. More power plants will use supercritical technology in the U.S.

C. Supercritical technology requires financial support from the government.

D. carbon dioxide emissions rates in the U.S. are higher than those in the past.

35. The passage mainly tell readers that the 21st century coal technology_________.

A. originates form the USA.

B. leads to great economic benefits.

C. is an environmental success story.

D. has a bright future of development.

Whether you were taught to fold your hands on your legs, or hold your hands behind your back, you can’t deny the fact that your hands are communicating all the time. After many years of debate, researches have finally agreed with ancient wisdom. That is, gestures precede (领先) words. 36 But we can guess from this that gesture has been a key part in conversation for millions of years.

37 And it’s true. The movem ent of your hands are like a feedback(反馈) tool to your brain. We’ve all heard the old words,

“ Actions speak louder than words.” Your gestures often show the truth behind your carefully chosen words.

In the early nineteenth century, a man named Francois Delsarte was the body language expert of his time. 38 Long before modern science, Delsarte stated that the hands were connected to the thoughts. He once said, “ 39 ”. Besides identifying parts of the hand connected with our mental and physical process, Delsarte broke our gesture language into nine functions.

You can experience the difference in how a gesture affects the quality of your words by saying “ I have no idea.” If your hand pushes away, you are rejecting the whole concept. 40 These are just a few ways to amplify(扩大) the words. Of course, hand gestures are a small part of your body’s story.

A. Gestures are the lightening and the words are the thunder.

B. Change your life through the magic of body language.

C. Reach your hand out to som eone and you’re begging for the answer.

D. We can’t travel back to early humans to see how they communicated.

E. Avoid pointing, unless you’re trying to direct people’s attention to something.

F. He developed a system for studying the whole body and how it communicates.

G. Most people think that we gesture in order to help make our ideas clear to others.
