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)
A
Hand gestures(手势) have been commonly used in our daily communication. They add to the message by filling in what words sometimes leave behind. But are you somewhat aware of the history that goes behind some of these popular hand gestures?
◆Handshake
Whether you’re greeting someone for the first time, or successfully negotiating(商定) an agreement, shaking hands is usually the go-to gesture. Who decided on this customary gesture, anyway? The history of the handshake dates back to ancient Greece, showing that neither person was carrying a weapon.
◆Thumbs up and thumbs down
Maybe you’re familiar with the popular story of this hand gesture dating back to Roman times. When a gladiator(角斗士) lost, the crowd would either stick their thumb out to have him killed or just not make any sign at all. The thumbs up decided the gladiator’s fate(命运). After WWI, thumbs up only came to mean that things were going smoothly. And thumbs down meant the opposite.
◆High five
According to some sources, the high five first became popular when baseball players performed at Dodger Stadium on October 2, 1977. Glenn Burke, one of the capable players, lifted his arm high above his head and slapped palms with his teammate Dusty Baker to celebrate a milestone home run, marking what is widely regarded as the first recorded example of a high five.
◆The fist bump
The fist bump comes from boxers in the 1970s after people began imitating how they touched gloves before a competition. Later, instead of shaking hands, first bumps became popular among basketball players. The gesture soon spread to all basketball lovers, and, before long, to the President of the United States
21. What did “thumbs up” mean to a gladiator in Roman times?
A. Being cheered. B. Being killed. C. Being appreciated. D. Being blamed.
22. Which gesture is in celebration of a home run?

23. Which aspect do all the four gestures mention?
A. The history. B. The future. C. The power. D. The importance.

B

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term “couch potato” first appeared in print in a December, 1979 edition of the Los Angeles Times. Since then, it has become a familiar term for a person who spends a lot of time sitting, and little time exercising. Although there does not seem to be any particular reason why the term “couch potato” is used rather than “couch tomato”, a person may become a “couch potato” because living this way is said to make you round like a potato. The term is also said to have something to do with the high-calorie(卡路里) food like potato chips.
People now would say “couch potato” whenever they talk about overweight and obesity(肥胖). Indeed, “couch potatoes” are believed to have heart disease risks, which can be avoided by regular exercise.
It is true that technology and modern life in general make us sick, fat, lazy and physically/mentally soft. The more time people spend using technology, particularly televisions and computers, the less time they will spend being physically active.
“Couch potato” kids are a particular concern. Media reports repeatedly claim that children today are fatter than their elder generations, but less athletically skilled, less interested in physical activities and more addicted (上瘾的) to “junk food” and technology such as televisions and computers. The message is clear: Today’s children are fat because they are lazy and eat too much. Moreover, because technology is becoming more sophisticated(复杂的), children are less able to resist(抵抗，忍得住) technology’s attraction, and are more likely to spend more time using technology, less time doing physical activities and, therefore, more likely to be fat.
24. The first paragraph is mainly about ________.
A. why “couch potato” is used as a term for a person
B. when “couch potato” is used as a term for a person
C. how “couch potato” is different from “couch potato”
D. what kind of person looks like a potato
25. The development of technology also makes us sick because ________ by using technology.
A. we are more likely to have heart disease risks in modern life
B. we spend less time doing exercise
C. we needn’t do many things by ourselves any more
D. we spend all our time watching TV and playing computer games
26. It’s kids’ ________ that people are particularly concerned about.
A. food B. study C. health D. hobby
27. According to the passage, the author may suggest that ________.
A. scientists should stop their technology research
B. parents should take better care of their children
C. kids should be stopped from using new technology
D. people should spend less time using technology
C
As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins(企鹅) longing to say hello. These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.
Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel. Throughout her career(职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further. When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge.
After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile. And it was in Chile that she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the south American mainland, “I just decided I wanted to go,” she said. “I had no idea about what I’d find there and I wasn’t nervous, I just wanted to do it. And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.”
In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she’d never met before, to begin the journey towards Antarctic. “From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing. Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,” Ginni said. I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale, it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us. You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”
The realization that this is a precious and, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.
28. Which of the following best explains “take the plunge” underlined in paragraph 2?
A. Try challenging things. B. Take a degree.
C. Bring back lost memories. D. Stick to a promise.
29. What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica?
A. Lovely penguins. B. Beautiful scenery. C. A discount fare. D. A friend’s invitation.
30. What does Ginni think about Antarctica after the journey?
A. It could be a home for her. B. It should be easily accessible.
C. It should be well preserved. D. It needs to be fully introduced.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. A childhood dream. B. An unforgettable experience.
C. Sailing around the world. D. Meeting animals in Antarctica.
D
Who was it on the top floor?
The lamp lit up the man’s face. Pip didn’t recognize it, but the expression showed that its owner was pleased to see Pip.
Suddenly Pip knew who he was when he sat down in a chair near the fire! The convict(囚犯) in the churchyard years ago!
“You helped me Pip,” said the man. “I have never forgotten it.”
Pip felt none for him, saying, “you’ve come here to thank me, it isn’t necessary.” You must understand ... But you are tired. Would you like something to drink before you go?”
“Thank you. I know, you are no longer what you used to be. It doesn’t hurt to ask how you managed to live such a life as a gentleman.”
“I have a benefactor(恩人),” Pip replied, embarrassed.
“Could I guess your income?” said the convict, smiling. “Is the first figure five?”
Pip’s heart started to beat very fast.
“And do you have a guardian whose name begins with the letter J?”
Suddenly Pip understood why the man was there. He stood up and held the back of a chair. The man took Pip’s hands and kissed them. But Pip still remembered that this man was a criminal.
“You’re like a son of me, Pip. I was working for you in Australia,” the man went on. “I’m happy you are spending my money.”
Pip smiled and listened weakly.
“It wasn’t easy for me to see you and stay with you here. I was sent away for life. If they find me back in London, they’ll hang me.”
Feeling even worse and too confused, Pip just said, “You are tired. You need a good sleep. Goodnight.”
After an hour or two, something started to become clear to Pip. Miss Havisham had no interest in his future or plans for him and Estella. She was using them to take her revenge on men!
32. What does the fifth paragraph imply?
A. Thanks to Pip came much too late to be accepted.
B. Pip was excited enough to speak quite out of breath.
C. The man didn’t know Pip was already a gentleman.
D. Pip actually declared the visitor to be unwelcome.
33. What do we know about the man’s character in the passage?
A. He was affectionate. B. He was proud. C. He was disgusting. D. He was cruel.
34. What truth did Pip finally find out?
A. He once helped the man hidden on the top floor.
B. The man was taken away from England for life.
C. Not Havisham but the man was his benefactor.
D. Once a convict, always a dangerous convict.
35. What might still puzzle Pip?
A. Where the man came from. B. How the man became a criminal.
C. Who was the benefactor of him. D. What risk the man took to see him.
