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,从每题所给四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

A British friend told me he couldn't understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds (葵花子) as a snack so much. “I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth; I believe that's from cracking the seeds,” he said.

I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn't like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so hard just to get one small seed.

When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go doortodoor on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making.

I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. In the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with a fancy tablecloth, readymade dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds.

Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.

I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.

It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins their breath. They think it’s a delicacy, and it’s connected with their culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition.

21. What lesson can we learn from the passage?

A. One kind of food doesn’t necessarily suit everyone.

B. Eating habits come from a certain culture.

C. It is good to form healthy eating habits.

D. Changing your eating habits will change your life.

22. What did the writer become aware of?

A. She had ever typed a report about seeds.

B. She ate various snacks while watching TV.

C. She has a habit of cracking sunflower seeds.

D. She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds.

23. What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year?

A. The traditions of celebrating it disappear.

B. Children can eat delicious food on that day.

C. The families would get together for it.

D. Eating sunflower seeds is related to it.

24. The writer’s attitude to Denmark’s way of eating bread is ________．

A. acceptable B. critical

C. neutral D. doubtful

B

Ottawa is the capital of Canada.It is the second largest city in Ontario and the fourth largest city in the country.

The spiders have long, scary legs. Some spiders even bite. But Spider-Man is another story. He might help people see spiders less negatively, a new study finds.

After Menachem Ben-Ezra, a proud fan of the Marvel films and also a psychologist, saw the movie Ant-Man and the Wasp(黄蜂), he walked out with a sudden scientific idea that he should measure people before they went into the theater, and afterwards to see if the fear of ants would be reduced or changed.

Ben-Ezra and his colleagues asked 424 people questions, about one-quarter of them about spiders, such as “Did you find them scary?” “Did seeing one make your hearts race and palms sweat?” A second group received similar questions, this time about ants. The last two groups got the same questions about other insects. Afterward, everyone watched videos. Group one got a Spider-Man movie. Group two saw Ant-Man and the Wasp. Groups three and four watched unrelated video---wheat waving peacefully in the breeze.

After viewing the movie, Ben-Ezra again asked the participants how they felt about spiders, ants or other insects in general---and found the ant and spider exposures seemed to make people insensitive and less afraid. Between 3.5 and 6.1 percent of people experience such a phobia(恐惧症) of spiders. Phobias can stop people from traveling, working and enjoying their lives.

Ben-Ezra hopes that their movie research might help people with phobias. But they caution that people with phobias shouldn’t just run out and watch movies and expect their fear to go away. “What we did is only the first step in a very long road,” Ben-Ezra says. “We didn’t say you’ll be cured. We don’t have evidence for that.” But eventually, presenting people’s fears in a positive context---such as a superhero movie---might help people surmount their fear or disgust. After all, if spiders produce Spider-Man, maybe they’re not so bad.

28. What method did Ben-Ezra use in his study?

A. By giving examples. B. By asking questions.

C. By analyzing causes. D. By making assumptions.

29. What does the underlined word “surmount” in the last paragraph mean?

A. Overcome. B. Subscribe. C. Intervene. D. Estimate.

30. What did Ben-Ezra advise people to do with phobias?

A. They should travel, work and enjoy their lives.

B. They should keep their phobias of insects a secret.

C. They should adopt a positive attitude to their fear.

D. They should watch more super-hero Marvel movies.

31. What is the best title for this passage?

A. The Insect Phobia Cured with Wasp. B. The Positive Energy of Superheroes.

C. Spider-Man’s Spider Fear. D. Fighting Spider Fear with Spider-Man.

D

Living a healthy lifestyle lies in forming the right eating habits. Here are some of the good habits you can develop when it comes to healthy eating.

Drink plenty of water. You must drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. You may need even more water if you are in a hot environment or if you are exercising.

Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. A recent study has shown that those who eat breakfast will consume an average of 100 calories more during the day than their colleagues (同事) who skipped breakfast. They will also be able to concentrate better.

Don’t skip lunch. If you do so, your blood sugar level will drop and your metabolism (新陈代谢) will slow down. When you get home you are starving and eat everything you can find.

We all need to snack from time to time, but please choose your snacks carefully. In fact, it’s a good idea to eat two healthy snacks besides your three main meals. Choose healthy snacks like fruits and vegetables, low fat yogurt, cottage cheese with apple sauce, and so on.

Eat your fruits and vegetables. We should eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Take a piece of fruit for a snack, add some banana and raisins to your favourite breakfast cereal (谷类食品), have a salad with lunch, and eat at least one vegetable at dinner each night.

Do not eat your dinner too late. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you rest for the next 8 hours. Plan dinner for the week ahead of time and make sure you have everything you need in the house so other family members can get ahead start on dinner if you have a late meeting at the office.

32. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. You should drink at least 8 glasses of water whatever the environment may be.

B. Breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, fruits and vegetables are equally important.

C. It is suggested that you eat your dinner at seven if you plan to go to bed at ten.

D. It is good for your health to eat fruits and vegetables at each meal every day.

33. The underlined word “raisins” most probably means        .

A. dried grapes B. peach leaves

C. pieces of cheese D. peanuts

34. Who is this passage intended for?

A. Students. B. Office workers.

C. Housewives. D. Cooks.

35. How many good eating habits are mentioned in the passage?

A. 5. B. 6.

C. 7. D. 8.

In the busy city of New York, such an amazing thing ever happened. On a cold Friday night, a poor artist stood at the gate of the subway station, playing his violin. The young violinist was a student at an Arts College named Joseph, who did so every day in order to earn his tuition fees. He planned to attend advanced studies in Vienna and had booked the flight the next morning. Though the music was great, people were quickly going home for the weekend. Joseph was playing his last chapter when a middle-aged man looking pretty excited slowed down his pace and put 50 dollars into the hat, for which Joseph was grateful.

The next night, the young artist came to the gate of the subway station as usual, and put his hat on the ground gracefully. Different from the day before, he took out a large piece of paper and laid it on the ground and put some stones on it. Then he began playing the violin.

Before long, the young violinist was surrounded with many passers-by, who were all attracted by the words on that paper. It said, “Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an unexpected thing into my hat by mistake. Please come to claim it as soon as possible.”

It caused a great excitement and curiosity. They were dying to know what the unexpected thing could be. After about half an hour, a middle-aged man ran there in a hurry and rushed through the crowd to the violinist and grabbed his shoulders and said, “Yes, it’s you. You did come here. I knew that you’re an honest man and would certainly come here.”

The young violinist asked calmly, “Are you Mr George Sang?” The man nodded. The violinist asked, “Did you lose something?” “Lottery. It’s lottery.” replied the man.

The violinist took out a lottery ticket on which George Sang’s name was seen. “Is it?” he asked. George nodded and seized the lottery ticket and kissed it. Asked by many passers-by, he told his story in details.

注意：
