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，从每小题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

Grandpa Nybakken loved life—especially when he could play a trick on somebody. At those times, his large Norwegian frame shook with laughter while he pretended innocent surprise, exclaiming, “Oh, forevermore!” But on a cold Saturday in downtown Chicago, Grandpa felt that God played a trick on him, and grandpa wasn’t laughing.

Grandpa worked as a carpenter. On this particular day, he was building some boxes for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage abroad. On his way home, he reached into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church．His search proved fruitless.

Suddenly, he realized what had happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the boxes, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses were heading for China!

The Great Depression was at its height, and Grandpa had six children. He had spent twenty dollars for those glasses that very morning.

“It’s not fair,” he told God as he drove home in frustration. “I’ve been very faithful in giving of my time and money to your work, and now this.”

Several months later, the director of the orphanage was on vacation in the United States．He wanted to visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to speak on Sunday night at my grandfather’s small church in Chicago．Grandpa and his family sat in their usual seats among the small congregation（教堂会众）.

“But most of all,” he said, “I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year.”

“Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glasses．Along with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day, so my co-workers and I were much in prayer about this．Then your boxes arrived．When my staff removed the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on the top.” After a long pause, he continued, “Folks, when I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been custom-made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”

The people listened, happy for the amazing glasses．But the director surely must have confused their church with another, they thought, there were no glasses on their list of items to be

sent overseas.

But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way.

41．Which of the following is NOT true about Grandpa Nybakken according to the passage?

A．He was an outgoing man and held an active attitude towards life.

B．He had a large family to support.

C．He was a carpenter working in the church.

D．He was a loyal Christian.

42．The people in the church but Grandpa felt confused at what the director said because ________.

A．Grandpa didn’t tell the director that he was the owner of the glasses

B．the director wanted to return the glasses even though he liked it

C．the director could not get such glasses in their own country

D．the glasses were not included in the donation list

43．Who does “the Master Carpenter” in the last paragraph probably refer to?

A．Grandpa’s master．B．One of Grandpa’s friends．

C．God．D．Grandpa’s co-worker.

44．Which can be the best title of the passage?

A．Grandfather’s life B．The Helpful Donation

C．The Perfect Mistake D．An Impressive Speech

B

If you were to come up with a list of organizations whose failures had done the most damage to the American economy in recent years, you would probably have to start with the Wall Street firms that brought us the financial crisis. From there, you might move on to the automakers in Detroit.

But I would suggest that the list should also include a less obvious nominee: public education.

At its top level, the American system of higher education may be the best in the world. Yet in terms of its core mission---turning teenagers into educated college graduates--- much of the system is failing.

The United States does a good job enrolling (招生) teenagers in college, but only half of the students who enroll end up with a bachelor’s degree.

So identifying the causes of the college dropout crisis in the world’s largest economy matters enormously, and a new book called “Crossing the Finish Line”tries to do precisely that. Its authors are economists William Bowen and Michael McPherson, and a doctoral candidate Matthew Chingos. The first problem they diagnose is something they call under-matching. It refers to students who choose not to attend the best college they can get into. They instead go to a less selective one, perhaps one that is closer to home or less expensive. About half of the low-income students with a grade-point average of at least 3.5 in high school and an SAT score of at least 1,200 do not attend the best college they could have. “I was really astonished by the degree to which well-qualified students from poor families under-matched,” said Mr. Bowen.

In fact, well-off students attend the colleges that do the best job of producing graduates. Meanwhile, lower-income students -–even when they are better qualified—often go to colleges that excel（擅长）in producing drop-outs. “It’s really a waste,” Mr. Bowen said, “and a big problem for the country.”As the authors point out, the only way to lift the college graduation rate significantly is to lift it among poor and working-class students. Instead, it appears to have fallen.

What can be done? Money is clearly part of the answer.

45.Which of the following would people first think of as a factor responsible for the American

financial crisis according to this passage?

A. The government.

B. Public education.

C. The Detroit automakers.

D. The Wall Street firms.

46. What is a big problem with American higher education?

A. It is hard to enroll enough students into college.

B. Many colleges are experiencing low rate of graduation.

C. Many college students stay away from classes.

D. It is hard for many colleges to get financial aid from the government.

47. Why do some students under--match ?

A. Because they have financial difficulty.

B. Because they face ambition crisis.

C. Because they lack confidence.

D. Because they can’t get guidance.

48. The passage is mainly about _______.

A. problems with secondary American education and possible solutions

B. America’s financial crisis, its cause and influence

C. low rate of American college graduation, its cause and its influence

D. relationship between American education and its economy

C

You’re in a bit of a d ilemma standing in front of the produce section of your local supermarket. In one hand, you’re holding a conventionally grown Granny Smith apple．In your other hand, you have one that’s been organically grown．Both apples are firm, shiny and green．Both provide vitamins and fiber, and both are free of fat, sodium and cholesterol.

The conventionally grown apple costs less and is a proven family favorite．But the organic apple has a label that says “USDA Organic”．Does that mean it’s better? Safer? More nutritious? Several differences between organic and non-organic foods exist．Become a better informed consumer for your next trip to the supermarket．

The word “organic” refers to the way farmers grow and process agricultural products, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products and meat．Organic farming practices are designed to encourage soil and water conservation and reduce pollution．Farmers who grow organic produce and meat don’t use conventional methods to fertilize, control weeds or prevent livestock disease.

Here are other differences between conventional farming and organic farming:

* Organic or not? Check the label.

The U.S．Department of Agriculture (USDA) has established an organic certification program that requires all organic foods to meet strict government standards．These standards regulate how such foods are grown, handled and processed．Any farmer or food manufacturer who labels and sells a product as organic must be USDA certified as meeting these standards．Only producers who sell less than $5,000 a year in organic foods are exempt (免除) from this certification.

If a food bears a USDA Organic label, it means it’s produced and processed according to the USDA standards．The seal is voluntary, but many organic producers use it．

49．The main purpose of the passage is ________________.

A．to promote the sales of organic food

B．to inform people organic food is better for their health

C．to persuade people to become informed consumers

D．to compare conventional and organic foods

50．According to the passage, the conventionally grown apple ______________.

A．costs less but tastes worse than an organic one

B．doesn't look the same as an organic one

C．has proven itself acceptable by the family

D．contains more fat, sodium and cholesterol

51．Which of the following methods belongs to organic farming?

A．Using chemicals to kill insects and prevent disease.

B．Using rotted plants as fertilizer to promote plant growth.

C．Using growth hormones to speed up animals' growth.

D．Using pests to reduce insects and disease.

52．From the passage we know the organic certification program ______________.

A．is not meant for all producers of produce

B．makes it compulsory to attach a USDA Organic label

C．sets restrictions on the sales of organic produce

D．requires all foods to satisfy the strict government standards

D

I don't ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it's like to work in a field dominated by men.

I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes.

At 19, when I began studying astrophysics(天体物理学), it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as 3 post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement—jobs, research papers, awards—was viewed through the lens of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.

Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations: I don't talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn't want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don't study sociology or political theory.

Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women's college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer; 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don't dismiss those concerns. Still, I don't tell them "war" stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that's a sight worth talking about.

53. From Paragraph 2, we can infer that people would attribute the author's failures to_______.

A. the very fact that she is a woman

B. her involvement in gender politics

C. her over-confidence as a female astrophysicist

D. the burden she bears in a male-dominated society

54. What did the author constantly fight against while doing her Ph.D. and post-doctoral research?

A. Lack of confidence in succeeding in space science.

B. Unfair accusations from both inside and outside her circle.

C. People's stereotyped attitude towards female scientists.

D. Widespread misconceptions about nature and nurture

55. Why does the author feel great satisfaction when talking about her class?

A. Female students no longer have to worry about gender issues.

B. Her students' performance has brought back her confidence.

C. Her female students can do just as well as male students.

D. More female students are pursuing science than before.

56. What does the image the author presents to her students suggest?

A. Women students needn't have the concerns of her generation.

B. Women have more barriers on their way to academic success.

C. Women can balance a career in science and having a family.

D. Women now have fewer discrimination problems about science career.

Two hours from the tall buildings of Manhattan and Philadelphia live some of the world’s largest black bears. They are in northern Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains, a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife.

The streams, lakes, meadows, mountain ridges and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears，have also attracted more people to the region. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats are endangered by highway construction. To protect the Poconos’ natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy (大自然保护协会) named the area one of America’s “Last Great Places”

Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Pennsylvania, the conservan cy’s bud Cook is working with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By forging partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area.

Altemose’s family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations. Two years ago Francis worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program. As a result, his family’s land can be pr otected from development and the Altemoses will be better able

to provide a secure financial future for their 7-year-old grandson.

Cook attributes the Conservancy’s success in the Poconos to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents

57. The purpose in naming the Poconos as one of America’s “ Last Great Places “ is to ________.

A. gain support from the local community

B. protect it from irresponsible development

C. make it a better home for black bears

A. The setting up of an environmental protection website

B. Support from organizations like The Nature Conservancy

C. Cooperation with the local residents and business leaders

D. Inclusion of farmlands in the region’s protection program

60. The passage most probably is ________.
