第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题;每小题2分，满分50分）第一节：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，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。

A

For centuries, in the countries of south and Southeast Asia, the elephant has been an important part of the culture, economy and religion．And nowhere more so than in Thailand．Unlike its African cousin, the Asian elephant is easily domesticated（驯化）．The rare so-called white elephants have actually lent the power of royalty to its rulers，and until the 1920s the national flag was a white elephant on a red background．To the early Western visitors, the country's romantic name was“Land of the White Elephant"．

Today, however, the story is very different．Out of work and out of land, the Thai elephant struggles for survival in a nation that no longer needs it．The elephant has found itself more or less deserted by previous owners who have moved on to a different economic world and a society in the western part．And while the elephant's problems began many years ago, now it has a very low national advantage．

How does the national symbol turn into ignored animals? It is a story of worse environment and the changing lives of the Thais themselves．According to Richard Lair, Thailand's expert on the Asian elephant and author of the report Gone Astray, at the turn of the last century, there may well have been as many as 100,000 national elephants in the country．In the north of Thailand alone, it was estimated （估计）that more than 20,000 elephants were employed in transport, 1,000 of them alone on the road between the cities of Chiang Mai and Chiang Saen．

This was at a time when 90 percent of Thailand was still forest--a habitat that not only supported the animals but also made them necessary to carry goods and people．Nothing ploughs through thick forest better than lots of sure-footed elephants．

By 1950 the elephant population had dropped, but still to the number of 13, 397．However, today there-are probably no more than 3,800, with another l,350 wandering free in the national parks．But now, Thailand's forest covers only 20 percent of the land．This deforestation（采伐森林）is the central point of the elephant's difficult situation, for it has effectively put the animals out of work．This century, as the road network grew, the elephant's role as a beast of Burden decreased．

41．What can we know about African elephants from the passage?

A．It is easy to domesticate them．

B．It is hard to domesticate them．

C．They are living a better life than Asian elephants．

D．Their fate is quite similar to that of Asian elephants．

42．Thailand was once called "Land of the White Elephant" because_____．

A．white elephant was a national symbol until the 1920s

B．white elephant is rarely seen and thus very special

C．white elephant has helped kings to gain the ruling authority

D．this name was so romantic that it was popular among visitors

43．Why is the Thai elephant "out of work", according to the author?

A．Because there are too many elephants but too few jobs．

B．Because the elephants can't do labor work any longer．

C．Because the government pays little attention to the problem．

D．Because the elephants are no longer useful to their owners．

44．Which of the following statements is TRUE about the elephant population at various times?

A．There were 100,000 domesticated elephants at the turn of the last century．

B．20,000 elephants were employed in transport in Thailand at the turn of the century．C．By 1950 the elephant population in Thailand has been quite small．

To some, it's a dream job---eating delicious meals for free and then writing about them．But for some food critics, their eyes aren't the only thing that gets wide with yet another feast．Karen Fernau, a food writer for The Arisona Republic, said when she first started her job –she began to gain weight．“I always looked forward to lunch before this job, then all of a sudden lunch was all day every day．" she says．Nine years later, keeping her weight steady and her health intact （完好无损的）is a daily battle．If she knows she will be going to a tasting at a bakery or eating a four-course meal, she usually eats fruits or salads throughout the day．Now she is always keeping track of what's in the food she eats and she says most people don't even look at or consider it．At one tasting task alone, she says, upward of l,000 calories is often added to her day．That's about half of the recommended total calories per day for the average adult．But even though she's thought of a special eating method, Fernau says sticking to it is a daily battle．And food editors, writers and critics across the country couldn't agree more．“When I'm at home or not eating for work, it's healthy food to the extreme," says Phil Vettel, who's been a restaurant critic for the Chicago Tribune for 19 years．

Vettle, who eats dinner at four restaurants each week, says unlike most professions, he has no ight to choose．"If I'm going out to eat, I can't choose the healthiest thing on the menu, I have to eat when they're bringing me．" While Vettel exercises when he can, Joe Yonan, a food editor at The Washington Post, has strengthened his exercise habits since he started the job two years ago．Yonan says he realized early on that he was gaining weight and immediately hired a personal trainer to meet with three times a week, on top of his body training three to five times a week．Still, it's a struggle that many Americans might envy．After all, it's one thing to get your calories from lobster（龙虾）tails or a delicate（精致的）chocolate cookie and quite another to get them from sodas and fast-food burgers．

50．What does the underlined sentence mean in Para l?

A．The food critics are always impressed by the delicious food in the restaurant．

B．The food critics are shocked to learn they have to have one more feast．

C．There is a wide variety of choices for the food critics to choose from．

D．The food critics eat delicious food, which also tends to result in gaining weight．

51．What can we learn about the job of being a food critic?

A．They enjoy free and delicious dishes and make comments on them．

B．They only work for local magazines and newspapers．

C．Once they become food critics, they tend to stay in the job．

D．Their excellent sense of taste makes them qualified for the job．．

52．What is mentioned to be a method that food writers use to keep fit?

A．Not eating anything except for the free meals．

B．Writing down everything they put into their mouth．

C．Hiring a personal trainer for special exercise instructions．

D．Choosing only the healthy food on the menu．

53．What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．No matter whether the food is expensive or not, the gaining of calories is the same．B．The calories that lobster tails and chocolate cookies contain are less harmful．

C．Americans envy those food critics since they enjoy delicate and tasty food．

D．Everybody should take the calories in their food carefully．

54．What's the main idea of the passage?

A．Ajob offering free meals may not be as desirable as it sounds to be．

C．Eating fruits and vegetables every day is the best way to lose weight．

D．Food writers work hard to maintain their health and weight．

I first heard this story a few years ago from a girl．Probably the story is one of those mysterious．bits of folklore that reappear every few years．However, I still like to think that it really did happen, somewhere, sometime．

They were going to Fort Lauderdale-- three boys and three girls -- and when they boarded the bus, they were carrying sandwiches and wine, dreaming of golden beaches and sea tides as the gray, cold spring of New York vanished behind them．

As the bus passed through New Jersey, they 'began to notice Vingo．He sat in front of them, dressed in a plain ill-fitting suit, never moving, his dusty face masking his age．He kept chewing the inside of his lip a lot, frozen into complete silence．

Deep into the night, the bus pulled into Howard Johnson's, and everybody got off except Vingo．He sat rooted in his seat, and the young people began to wonder about him: perhaps he was a sea captain, a runaway from his wife, an old soldier going home. When they went back to the bus, one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself．

¨We're going to Florida," she said brightly．“I hear it's really beautiful．"

"It is," he said quietly, as if remembering something he had tried to forget．

“Want some wine?" she said．He thanked her and retreated again into his silence．After a while, she went back to the others, and Vingo nodded in sleep．

In the morning, they awoke outside another Howard Johnson's, and this time Vingo went in．The girl insisted that he join them．He seemed very shy, and．ordered black coffee and smoked nervously as the young people chattered about sleeping on beaches．When they returned to the bus, the girl sat with Vingo again, and after a while, slowly and painfully, he began to tell his story．He had been in jail in New York for the past four years, and now he was going home．¨Are you married?"

“I don't know．"

“You do n’t know?" she said．

“Well, when I was in jail I wrote to my wife," he said．¨‘I told her that I was going to be away a long time, and that if she couldn't stand it, if the kids kept asking questions, she ;could just forget me．I'd understand．Get a new guy, I said - she's a wonderful woman – and forget about me．I told her she didn't have to write me．And she didn't．Not for three and a half years．"

"And you're going home now, not knowing?"

" Yeah," he said shyly．‘‘Last week, when I was sure the parole was coming through, I wrote her again．There's a big oak tree just as you come into town, I told her that if she didn't have a new guy and if she'd take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and I'd get off and come home．If she didn't want me, forget it - no handkerchief, and I'd go on through．"

"Wow," the girl exclaimed．"Wow．"

She told the others, and soon all of them were in it, caught up in the approach of Brunswick, looking at the pictures Vingo showed them of his wife and three children．Now they were 20 miles from Brunswick, and the young people took over window seats, waiting for the approach of the great oak tree．Vingo stopped looking, tightening his face, as if fortifying himself against still another disappointment．

Then Brunswick was 10 miles, and then five．Then, suddenly, all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming and shouting and crying．All except Vingo．Vingo sat there stunned, looking at the oak tree．It was covered with yellow handkerchiefs—20 of them, 30 of them, maybe hundreds．As the young people shouted, the old con slowly rose from his seat and made his way to the front of the bus to go home．

55．According to the passage, which statement is TRUE?

A．The young people are travelling from Florida to New York．

B．Vingo was put in prison ten years ago, and now he was set free to go home．

C．The young people around Vingo were quite curious about his silence．

D．At last, Vingo went home together with the three boys and three girls．

56．From the underlined sentences in Para 3, we can infer that _____．

A．Vingo was nervous because he didn't know whether his wife would accept him．

B．Vingo was very disappointed because his wife didn't answer his letter．

C．Vingo was very shy because he knew someone was watching him．

D．Vingo was excited because he could go home and meet his wife and children．57．The underlined word "fortify" in the passage has the same meaning as that in Sentence___．A．The French soldiers are working hard to fortify airbase．

B．The food has been fortified with Vitamin C．

C．People in the whole city were fortified by the moving story about their hero．

第二节：下面文章中有5处（第61~65题）需要添加小标题。，请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。

A．Study the levels of stress by comparison．

B．Higher level of stress causes more trouble．

C．Milder stress does more harm than expected．

D．A certain level of stress is efficient in working conditions．

E．Always pay enough attention to mild stress．

F．Modern social conditions may lead to stress．

61．

Even relatively mild stress can lead to long term disability and an inability to work, reveals a large population based study published online in the Journal of Epidemiology (流行病学) and community Health. It is well known that mental health problems are associated with long term disability, but the impact of milder forms of psychological stress is likely to have been underestimated (低估), say the authors.

62．

Between 2002 and 2007, the authors tracked the health of more than 17,000 working adults up to the age of 64, who had been randomly selected from the population ill the Stockholm area．All 'participants completed a validated（经验证的）questionnaire at the start of the study to measure their mental health and stress levels, as well as other aspects of health and well-being．

63．

During the monitoring period, 649 people started receiving disability benefit--- 203 for a mental health problem and the remainder for physical ill health．Higher levels of stress at the start of the study were associated with a significantly greater likelihood of subsequently being awarded long term disability benefits．But even those with mild stress were up to 70%．more

likely to receive disability benefits, after taking account of other factors likely to influence the results, such as lifestyle and alcohol intake．One in four of these benefits awarded for a physical illness, such as high blood pressure; angina（心绞痛）, and stroke（中风）, and almost two thirds awarded for a mental illness, were likely to have been caused by stress．

64．

The authors say that it is important to consider their findings in the context of modern working life, which places greater demands on employees, and social factors, such as fewer close personal relationships and supportive networks．

65．

These factors lead them to ask, “Are the strains and demands of modern society commonly exceeding（超出）human ability? And they conclude that while mild stress should riot．be over-medicalised , their findings suggest that it should be taken more seriously than it is．
