第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5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。
A
This is not a diet. It's a simple way to lose weight. And you don' t even have to give up the food you love or join a gym. You just follow some habits that lean people have. Keep them, and you'll become thin.
Wake - up
When you wake up in the morning, sit up slowly without using your hands. With legs straight out, bend forward until you feel a stretch in your back. It will burn about 10 calories (热量单位,卡路里).
Start with soup
When you have a meal, order a clear soup, and have it before having the main food. In this way, you'll feel fuller, so you'll eat less when the main food comes.
An apple (or more) a day
Apples are full of fiber（纤维) and water, so your stomach will want less. The study shows that people who eat at least three apples a day lose weight.
Stand up and walk around
Every time you use the mobile phone, stand up and walk around. Heavy people sit on average two and a half hours more each day than thin people. This skill is very important as standing up and walking around will burn 50 or more calories.
Use these skills, and you will have a big weight loss.
21. What’s the purpose of this passage ?
A. To tell people how to enjoy a better life.
B. To advise people to eat apples every day.
C. To give some tips on how to lose weight.
D. To advise people to get rid of bad habits.
22. Why does eating apples make one's stomach want less food?
A. Because apples are delicious. B. Because apples are full of fiber and water.
C. Because apples are sour. D. Because only apples are filled with calories.

A. getting up without using your hands helps burn calories
B. eating apples every day is good for people’s health
C. it’s good to walk around while talking on the phone
D. you have to join a gym if you want to lose weight
24. In which part of a newspaper would you most probably read this passage ?

Every year Mother arranged family reunions. When the whole family travelled around and stayed together, she lit the candles and said, “It is wonderful to have you here. I want you to remember that you must be good to each other. You must take care of one another in times of need. Wherever I am, I’ll have my eye on you.” I believed her.
Mother died when she was 84. After the funeral, the four of us children made a promise to continue the tradition of the reunion. The next year my husband and I decided to arrange for our first reunion. I hoped the rest of the family would agree. Although we were close, we had our troubles. I was especially worried about my brother’s wife, Gina. She was on the sensitive side and after a misunderstanding, we never spoke again.
Then, to my surprise, Gina called. She and my brother would be arriving in New York a day early to attend a meeting. “Can you join us in the city for dinner?” she asked. I thought about all the last-minute errands (差事) I had to do and said, “I don’t have time.” Gina hung up. As usual, she had taken my refusal personally.
That night I couldn’t sleep. I thought of Mother’s speech: “You must be good to each other … You must take care of one another.” I called Gina first thing the next morning. “I’m sorry I couldn’t make it to dinner,” I said. “I am really looking forward to seeing you.”
“Me too,” she admitted. It was a start.
The reunion turned out to be happy for everyone. Gina and I made up, and sat next to each other and talked a lot.
25. Why did Mother make the tradition of the reunion?
A. It was a symbol of a big family.
B. It could make family members closer.
C. She hoped the family could remember her.
D. She wanted a generous dinner with family.
26. How did the author get the forgiveness of Gina?
A. By staying up late with her. B. By inviting her to have dinner.
C. By thinking about Mom’s words. D. By explaining to Gina sincerely.
27. What can we learn from the first reunion?
A. It was totally a success. B. Everyone but Gina attended it.
C. The author had quarreled with Gina. D. It was finally held by Gina and her husband.
C
According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research, both the size and eating habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake. And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions(份), it’s the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid.
To test the effect of social influence on eating habits, the researchers conducted two experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate women were individually invited into a lab to participate in a study about movie viewership. Before the film began, each woman was asked to help herself to a snack. An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first. In her natural state, the actor weighed 105 pounds. But in half the cases she wore a specially designed fat suit which increased her weight to 180 pounds.
Both the fat and thin versions of the actor took a large amount of food. The participants followed suit (仿效), taking more food than they normally would have. However, they took significantly more when the actor was thin.
For the second test, in one case the thin actor took two pieces of candy from the snack bowls. In the other case, she took 30 pieces. The results were similar to the first test: the participants followed suit but took significantly more candy when the thin actor took 30 pieces.
The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when we’re making decisions. If this fellow participant is going to eat more, so will I. Call it the “I’ll have what she’s having” effect. However, we’ll adjust the influence. If an overweight person is having a large portion, I’ll hold back a bit because I see the results of his eating habits. But if a thin person eats a lot, I’ll follow suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can’t I?
28. What is the recent study mainly about?
A. Food safety. B. Movie viewership.
C. Consumer demand. D. Eating behavior.
29. What does the underlined word "beanpoles" in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Big eaters. B. Overweight persons.
C. Picky eaters. D. Tall thin persons.
30. Why did the researchers hire the actor?
A. To see how she would affect the participants.
B. To test if the participants could recognize her.
C. To find out what she would do in the two tests.
D. To study why she could keep her weight down.
31. On what basis do we "adjust the influence" according to the last paragraph?
A. How hungry we are. B. How slim we want to be.
C. How we observe others. D. How we feel about the food.
D
On plenty of drives with my mom through my childhood, she would suddenly pull over the car to examine a flower by the side of the road or rescue a beetle (甲虫) from tragedy (灾难) while I, in my late teens and early twenties, sat impatiently in the car.
Though Mother's Day follows Earth Day, for me, they have always been related to each other. My mom has been “green” since she became concerned about the environment. Part of this habit was born of thrift (节俭). Like her mother and her grandmother before her, mom saves glass jars, empty cheese containers and reuses her plastic bags.
Mom creates a kind of harmonious relationship with wildlife in her yard. She knows to pick the apples on her trees a little early to avoid the bears and that if she leaves the bird feeders out at night, it is likely that they will be knocked down by a family of raccoons (浣熊). Spiders that make their way into the house and are caught in juice glasses will be set loose in the garden.
I try to teach my children that looking out for the environment starts with being aware of the environment. On busy streets, we look for dandelions (蒲公英) to fly in the wind; we say hello to neighborhood cats and pick up plastic cups and paper bags. This teaching comes easily, I realize, because I was taught so well by example. Mom didn't need to lecture; she didn't need to beat a drum to change the world. She simply slowed down enough to enjoy living in it and with that joy came mercy and an instinct (直觉) for protection.
I am slowing down and it isn't because of the weight of my nearly forty years on the planet, it is out of my concern for the planet itself. I've begun to save glass jars and reuse packing envelopes. I pause in my daily tasks to watch the squirrels race each other in the trees above my house.
Last summer, in the company of my son and daughter, I planted tomatoes in my yard. With the heat of August around me, I ate the first while sitting on my low wall with dirt on my hands. Warm from the sun, it burst on my tongue with sweetness. I immediately wanted to share with my mom.
32．Why does the author say Earth Day is connected with Mother's Day?
A．Because Mother's Day falls shortly after Earth Day.
B．To show that all the older women in her family are environmentalists.
C．To show how much her mother cares about the environment.
D．Because her mother shows her how to be friendly to nature on Mother's Day.
33．Which of the following has no relationship with Mom's “green life”？
A．Rescuing a beetle from a certain tragedy.
B．Saving glass jars or empty cheese containers.
C．Setting a caught spider free in the garden.
D．Picking dandelions on busy streets.
34．What can be learned from the last paragraph?
A．Tomatoes are the author's favorite fruit.
B．It is her mother who taught the author to plant tomatoes.
C．Planting tomatoes is a way of protecting environment.
D．The author really appreciates her mother's teaching.
35．The writer's attitude towards her mom's behavior changed in the order of ________.
A．understanding—negative—supporting
B．supporting—doubtful—negative
C．negative—understanding—supporting
D．doubtful—negative—supporting

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow（乌鸦）perched（栖息）on their window.
The father asked his son, “What is this?” The son replied, “It is a crow.”
After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this?” The son said, “Father, I have just now told you, it’s a crow!”
After a little while, the old father again asked his son for the third time, “What is this?”
At this time some expression of irritation（恼怒）was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father with a rebuff（生硬回绝）. “It’s a crow, a crow.” A little while later, the father again asked his son the fourth time, “What is this?”
This time, the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this?”
A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered（发皱的）diary, which he had maintained since his son was born.
On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page.
When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:
“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not at all feel irritated but I rather felt affection for my innocent son.

Dear John，
I am really sorry to hear that you feel bad after entering high school. I'd like to talk about it with you.
In fact, in your high school, your classmates are also new students and facing the same problem, so you don't have to worry too much about it. There is also something that you can do to change this situation. First, try to invite some of your classmates to take part in some activities together after school. This will help you understand each other better. Then, help your classmates when they are in trouble and turn to them for help when you have difficulty.
I believe you will make many new friends and have a happy school life there.
Yours，
Li Hua
续写提示：
本篇为记叙文。一位八十岁的老人和他的成年儿子坐在沙发上。同一个问题老人才问了三遍，儿子就已经十分恼怒和没耐心了；第四遍时，儿子已开始对他大吼了。伤心的父亲拿出一本发皱的日记让儿子读其中一页的内容：儿子小时候问了23遍同一个问题，父亲仍然耐心解释。
由全文大意以及文章最后的结尾部分可知这里是父子不同态度的对比，上文叙述了父亲让儿子看自己的日记，由续写第一段After reading the diary可知，后面的内容应是儿子看了日记后的感受，以及对一些问题的思考。
由续写第二段出现的关键词feeling ashamed可知，儿子对自己的行为感到愧疚，所以下文中儿子会对自己的行为道歉，然后向父亲保证以后好好对待父亲。
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
After reading the diary, the son was filled with tears and began to reflect on the days when he used to sit together with his father. His father would patiently answer the same question all 23 times without feeling irritation while his father asked him the same question just four times! The son thought to himself: If I attain old age, how will my son look at me? Will he think of me as a burden? Will he shout at me because of my poor sight, poor hearing or poor understanding?
Paragraph 2:
Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. He made an apology to his father, begging his father to forgive him for his bad behavior. He said this aloud, “I promise to see you happy forever, Dad. It is you who have cared for me ever since I was a little child, showering your selfless affection on me. You worked hard to make money so that I could afford to go to university. I will serve you in the best day.”

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。
A
This is not a diet. It's a simple way to lose weight. And you don' t even have to give up the food you love or join a gym. You just follow some habits that lean people have. Keep them, and you'll become thin.
Wake - up
When you wake up in the morning, sit up slowly without using your hands. With legs straight out, bend forward until you feel a stretch in your back. It will burn about 10 calories (热量单位,卡路里).
Start with soup
When you have a meal, order a clear soup, and have it before having the main food. In this way, you'll feel fuller, so you'll eat less when the main food comes.
An apple (or more) a day
Apples are full of fiber（纤维) and water, so your stomach will want less. The study shows that people who eat at least three apples a day lose weight.
Stand up and walk around
Every time you use the mobile phone, stand up and walk around. Heavy people sit on average two and a half hours more each day than thin people. This skill is very important as standing up and walking around will burn 50 or more calories.
Use these skills, and you will have a big weight loss.

Every year Mother arranged family reunions. When the whole family travelled around and stayed together, she lit the candles and said, “It is wonderful to have you here. I want you to remember that you must be good to each other. You must take care of one another in times of need. Wherever I am, I’ll have my eye on you.” I believed her.
Mother died when she was 84. After the funeral, the four of us children made a promise to continue the tradition of the reunion. The next year my husband and I decided to arrange for our first reunion. I hoped the rest of the family would agree. Although we were close, we had our troubles. I was especially worried about my brother’s wife, Gina. She was on the sensitive side and after a misunderstanding, we never spoke again.
Then, to my surprise, Gina called. She and my brother would be arriving in New York a day early to attend a meeting. “Can you join us in the city for dinner?” she asked. I thought about all the last-minute errands (差事) I had to do and said, “I don’t have time.” Gina hung up. As usual, she had taken my refusal personally.
That night I couldn’t sleep. I thought of Mother’s speech: “You must be good to each other … You must take care of one another.” I called Gina first thing the next morning. “I’m sorry I couldn’t make it to dinner,” I said. “I am really looking forward to seeing you.”
“Me too,” she admitted. It was a start.
The reunion turned out to be happy for everyone. Gina and I made up, and sat next to each other and talked a lot.
25. Why did Mother make the tradition of the reunion?
A. It was a symbol of a big family.
B. It could make family members closer.
C. She hoped the family could remember her.
D. She wanted a generous dinner with family.
26. How did the author get the forgiveness of Gina?
A. By staying up late with her. B. By inviting her to have dinner.
C. By thinking about Mom’s words. D. By explaining to Gina sincerely.
27. What can we learn from the first reunion?
A. It was totally a success. B. Everyone but Gina attended it.
C. The author had quarreled with Gina. D. It was finally held by Gina and her husband.
C
According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research, both the size and eating habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake. And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions(份), it’s the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid.
To test the effect of social influence on eating habits, the researchers conducted two experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate women were individually invited into a lab to participate in a study about movie viewership. Before the film began, each woman was asked to help herself to a snack. An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first. In her natural state, the actor weighed 105 pounds. But in half the cases she wore a specially designed fat suit which increased her weight to 180 pounds.
Both the fat and thin versions of the actor took a large amount of food. The participants followed suit (仿效), taking more food than they normally would have. However, they took significantly more when the actor was thin.
For the second test, in one case the thin actor took two pieces of candy from the snack bowls. In the other case, she took 30 pieces. The results were similar to the first test: the participants followed suit but took significantly more candy when the thin actor took 30 pieces.
The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when we’re making decisions. If this fellow participant is going to eat more, so will I. Call it the “I’ll have what she’s having” effect. However, we’ll adjust the influence. If an overweight person is having a large portion, I’ll hold back a bit because I see the results of his eating habits. But if a thin person eats a lot, I’ll follow suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can’t I?
28. What is the recent study mainly about?
A. Food safety. B. Movie viewership.
C. Consumer demand. D. Eating behavior.
29. What does the underlined word "beanpoles" in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Big eaters. B. Overweight persons.
C. Picky eaters. D. Tall thin persons.
30. Why did the researchers hire the actor?
A. To see how she would affect the participants.
B. To test if the participants could recognize her.
C. To find out what she would do in the two tests.
D. To study why she could keep her weight down.
31. On what basis do we "adjust the influence" according to the last paragraph?
A. How hungry we are. B. How slim we want to be.
C. How we observe others. D. How we feel about the food.
D
On plenty of drives with my mom through my childhood, she would suddenly pull over the car to examine a flower by the side of the road or rescue a beetle (甲虫) from tragedy (灾难) while I, in my late teens and early twenties, sat impatiently in the car.
Though Mother's Day follows Earth Day, for me, they have always been related to each other. My mom has been “green” since she became concerned about the environment. Part of this habit was born of thrift (节俭). Like her mother and her grandmother before her, mom saves glass jars, empty cheese containers and reuses her plastic bags.
Mom creates a kind of harmonious relationship with wildlife in her yard. She knows to pick the apples on her trees a little early to avoid the bears and that if she leaves the bird feeders out at night, it is likely that they will be knocked down by a family of raccoons (浣熊). Spiders that make their way into the house and are caught in juice glasses will be set loose in the garden.
I try to teach my children that looking out for the environment starts with being aware of the environment. On busy streets, we look for dandelions (蒲公英) to fly in the wind; we say hello to neighborhood cats and pick up plastic cups and paper bags. This teaching comes easily, I realize, because I was taught so well by example. Mom didn't need to lecture; she didn't need to beat a drum to change the world. She simply slowed down enough to enjoy living in it and with that joy came mercy and an instinct (直觉) for protection.
I am slowing down and it isn't because of the weight of my nearly forty years on the planet, it is out of my concern for the planet itself. I've begun to save glass jars and reuse packing envelopes. I pause in my daily tasks to watch the squirrels race each other in the trees above my house.
Last summer, in the company of my son and daughter, I planted tomatoes in my yard. With the heat of August around me, I ate the first while sitting on my low wall with dirt on my hands. Warm from the sun, it burst on my tongue with sweetness. I immediately wanted to share with my mom.
32．Why does the author say Earth Day is connected with Mother's Day?
A．Because Mother's Day falls shortly after Earth Day.
B．To show that all the older women in her family are environmentalists.
C．To show how much her mother cares about the environment.
D．Because her mother shows her how to be friendly to nature on Mother's Day.
33．Which of the following has no relationship with Mom's “green life”？
A．Rescuing a beetle from a certain tragedy.
B．Saving glass jars or empty cheese containers.
C．Setting a caught spider free in the garden.
D．Picking dandelions on busy streets.
34．What can be learned from the last paragraph?
A．Tomatoes are the author's favorite fruit.
B．It is her mother who taught the author to plant tomatoes.
C．Planting tomatoes is a way of protecting environment.
D．The author really appreciates her mother's teaching.
35．The writer's attitude towards her mom's behavior changed in the order of ________.
A．understanding—negative—supporting
B．supporting—doubtful—negative
C．negative—understanding—supporting
D．doubtful—negative—supporting

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow（乌鸦）perched（栖息）on their window.
The father asked his son, “What is this?” The son replied, “It is a crow.”
After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this?” The son said, “Father, I have just now told you, it’s a crow!”
After a little while, the old father again asked his son for the third time, “What is this?”
At this time some expression of irritation（恼怒）was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father with a rebuff（生硬回绝）. “It’s a crow, a crow.” A little while later, the father again asked his son the fourth time, “What is this?”
This time, the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this?”
A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered（发皱的）diary, which he had maintained since his son was born.
On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page.
When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:
“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not at all feel irritated but I rather felt affection for my innocent son.

Dear John，
I am really sorry to hear that you feel bad after entering high school. I'd like to talk about it with you.
In fact, in your high school, your classmates are also new students and facing the same problem, so you don't have to worry too much about it. There is also something that you can do to change this situation. First, try to invite some of your classmates to take part in some activities together after school. This will help you understand each other better. Then, help your classmates when they are in trouble and turn to them for help when you have difficulty.
I believe you will make many new friends and have a happy school life there.
Yours，
Li Hua
续写提示：
本篇为记叙文。一位八十岁的老人和他的成年儿子坐在沙发上。同一个问题老人才问了三遍，儿子就已经十分恼怒和没耐心了；第四遍时，儿子已开始对他大吼了。伤心的父亲拿出一本发皱的日记让儿子读其中一页的内容：儿子小时候问了23遍同一个问题，父亲仍然耐心解释。
由全文大意以及文章最后的结尾部分可知这里是父子不同态度的对比，上文叙述了父亲让儿子看自己的日记，由续写第一段After reading the diary可知，后面的内容应是儿子看了日记后的感受，以及对一些问题的思考。
由续写第二段出现的关键词feeling ashamed可知，儿子对自己的行为感到愧疚，所以下文中儿子会对自己的行为道歉，然后向父亲保证以后好好对待父亲。
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
After reading the diary, the son was filled with tears and began to reflect on the days when he used to sit together with his father. His father would patiently answer the same question all 23 times without feeling irritation while his father asked him the same question just four times! The son thought to himself: If I attain old age, how will my son look at me? Will he think of me as a burden? Will he shout at me because of my poor sight, poor hearing or poor understanding?
Paragraph 2:
Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. He made an apology to his father, begging his father to forgive him for his bad behavior. He said this aloud, “I promise to see you happy forever, Dad. It is you who have cared for me ever since I was a little child, showering your selfless affection on me. You worked hard to make money so that I could afford to go to university. I will serve you in the best day.”
