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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
My Favourite Books
Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series(系列)of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.
Matilda
Roald Dahl
I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl's writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matilda's battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress，Miss Trunchbull，are equally funny and frightening, but they're also aspirational.
After Dark
Haruki Murakami
It’s about two sisters-Eri，a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping，and Mari, a young student . In trying to connect to her sister. Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse “night people” who are hiding secrets.
Gone Girl
Gillian Fynn
There was a bit of me that didn't want to love this when everyone else on the planet did but the horror story is brilliant. There's tension(紧张) and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It's a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what's going on is horribly enjoyable
The Stand
Stephen King
This is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around. After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world's population, a battle unfolds（展开） between good and evil （邪恶的）among those left. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.
21. Who does "I" refer to in the text?
A. Stephen King. B. Jo Usmar. C.Gillian Flynn. D. Roald Dahl
22. Which of the following tells about Mari and Eri?
A. Cosmopolitan. B. Matilda. C. The Stand. D. After Dark.
23. What kind of book is Gone Girl?
A.A fairy tale. B.A horror story.C.A love story. D.A biography.

B
It wasan ordinary August afternoon. After dropping off his last passenger, Mrs. Carey., Richard Allen followed her across the yard, lifting two heavy grocery bags.And soon he stood on the step of her house. Glancing up, he saw a large wasp（黄蜂） nest under the roof. Allen had heard that wasps can become more likely to sting (sting, sting, stung蜇) in summer. He mentioned this to Mrs. Carey, who had opened the door.
“Oh, they don’t bother me,” she said lightly. “I go in and out all the time.”
Anxiously, Allen looked at the nest again—— to see the wasps flying straight at him. “Hurry!” he shouted to Mrs. Carey. “Get in!”
She stepped quickly inside. Allen ran for his mini-bus. Too late; they were upon him. Just as he jumped aboard, half a dozen red spots showed on his arm, and he felt more on his back and shoulders.
As he was driving down the road, Allen felt as if something was burning at the back of his neck, and the “fire” was spreading forward toward his face. And immediate anxiety took hold of him. Allen knew that stings could cause some persons to die. But he had been stung the previous（之前的） summer and the after-effects soon passed. However, what he didn’t know was that the first sting had turned his body into a time bomb waiting for the next to set off an explosion（爆炸）.
Miles from the nearest medical assistance, Allen began to feel his tongue thick and heavy and his heartbeat louder. Most frightening, he felt his breathing more and more difficult. He reached for the radio mike（话筒）, trying to call the mini-bus center, but his words were hardly understandable. Signals（信号） were also poor that far out. He knew a rescue team was on 24-hour duty at the Amherst Fire Department’s north station. So his best chance was to make a run for it.
Rushing down the mountain, Allen tried not to panic（惊慌）, focusing his mind on each sharp turn. He was almost through the last of them when he felt sure he was going into shock. Just then he reached for the radio mike again.
“Call fire station,” he shouted, concentrating to form the words. “Emergency. Beesting. Emergency. There in ten minutes.”
“Five-ten,” the center replied.
Hold on, Allen thought. Keep your eyes open. Breathe. Keep awake.
At last he reached the station. Two firemen ran out. Allen felt their hands grasp（抓住） him before he hit the ground. You made it, he thought.
24. According to the passage, wasps are more likely to attack when _______.
A. there are huge noises B. strangers are approaching
C. the hottest season comes around D. the air is filled with food smell
25. Allen didn’t know that if stung by wasps again, he would _______.
A. have no after-effects B. surely lose his life
C. suffer from sharper pain D. become more sensitive（敏感的）
26. Allen failed at his first attempt to send his message to the mini-bus center because _______.
A. his radio equipment was poor B. he was unable to speak clearly
C. he was in a state of shock D. no one was on duty
27. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Allen, A Helpless Driver B. Wasps, Bloody Killers
C. War Against Wasps D. A Race Against Death

C
Downing the last drop of an expensive famous brand H2O as well as remembering to throw the empty bottle in the recycling bin（垃圾桶）, makes you feel pretty good about yourself, right? It shouldn’t.Even when the bottles are recycled, there are all kinds of other consequences (后果) of swallowing(吞咽) bottled water, says Melissa Peffers, the air-quality program manager for Environmental Defense.
The bottles are often filled in faraway lands, then shipped from abroad, and storedin refrigerators at your local store. Compare that with the influence on environment of turning on your tap, filling a glass, and drinking up!
Anyone who is choosing bottled water for health reasons is misguided, says Peffers, “Most bottled water is just tap water.” And what comes out of your tap is carefully monitored （监管） to follow the strict rules. Consider another fact that bottled water is surprisingly expensive, especially when compared with the alternative（替代品）, which is almost free, and it is hard to believe that America’s desire for bottled water seems impossible to satisfy, reaching nearly 30 billion bottles a year.
“My parents’ generation never had bottled water,” says Isabelle Silverman, an Environmental Defense legal adviser. She has made a commitment（投入，信奉） to going bottle free. “You don’t need to fetch it home from the store, and it’s cheaper,” she adds.
Bottled water’s role as a status（身份） symbol needs to change, Peffers points out. So when a waiter at an expensive restaurant offers “And what’s your drink?” that’s no reason to forget your conviction（信念）. “Don’t be afraid to say, ‘I’ll have tap.’ Say it loud enough that the other tables nearby can hear you,” Peffers says. “And then spend that money on a dessert.”
28. The underlined sentence “It shouldn’t.” in the first paragraph suggests that people _______.
A. shouldn’t feel good about finishing the water in the bottle
B. shouldn’t feel pleased withdrinking an expensive brand H2O
C. shouldn’t be content withdrinking only bottled water
D. shouldn’t be satisfied with just recycling empty bottles
29. According to the author, tap water is _______.
A.healthier than bottled water B. morel likely to be polluted
C. as safe as bottled water D. less convenient than bottled water
30. The underlined part “going bottle free” (in Para. 4) means “_______”.
A. providing free water containers(容器) B. making bottled water free
C. recycling use water bottles D. giving up bottled water
31. Why does Peffers ask people to say “I’ll have tap.” Loudly?
A. To advise them to set an example for others to follow.
B. To encourage them to save the money for one more dessert.
C. To remind them to be aware of their social status.
D. To persuade them to speak confidently in public.

D
Think about this: which would you prefer to have with you at any given moment -- your cell phone or your wallet? Soon you may be able to throw your wallet away and pay for things with a quick wave of your smart phone over an electronic scanner(电子扫描仪).
In January, Starbucks announced that customers could start using their phones to buy coffee in 6,800 of its stores. This is the first pay-by-phone practice in the U.S., but we’re likely to see more wireless payment alternatives as something called near field communication（NFC）gets into America’s consumer（消费者） electronics. Last December, some new smart phones which contain an NFC chip were introduced to the public.
Already in use in parts of Asia and Europe, NFC allows shoppers to wave their phones a few inches above a payment terminal（终端）， a contact-free system built for speed and convenience. But before NFC becomes widely adopted（采用） in the U. S., a few problems need to be worked out, like who will get to collect the profitable transactionfees（交易费）. Although some credit card providers have been experimenting with wave-and-pay systems that use NFC enabled credit cards, cell phone service providers may try to make their way into the point-of-sale（POS）market．Three big cell phone service providers have formed a joint venture（合资企业）that will go into operation over the next 15 months. Its goal is “to lead the U. S. payments industry from cards to mobile phone.”
The other big NFC matter, apart from how payments will be processed, is security, For instance, what’s to stop a thieffrom digitally pick pocketing you? “We’re still not at the point where an attacker can just brush against you in a crowd and steal all the money out of your phone,” says Jimmy Shah. A mobile security researcher, “Users may also be able to set transaction limits, perhaps requiring a password to be entered for larger purchases（购买）.”
Still uneasy about this digital-wallet business? Keep in mind that if you lose your smart phone, it can be located on a map and remotely disabled. Plus, your phone can be password protected. Your wallet isn’t.
32. What is probably to happen in the U. S. ?
A. The growing of cellphone companies． B. The increase of Starbucks sales
C. The disappearance of credit cards． D. The popularity ofpaying by phone.
33. The NFC technology can be used to________ .
A. ensure the safety of consumers B. collect transaction fees easily
C. make purchase more convenient D. improve the quality of cellphones
34. Three cellphone service providers form a joint venture to__________.
A. strengthen their relationship B.sell more cellphones
C. get a share in the payments industry D. test the NFC technology
35. According to the passage, what can users do if they lose their smart phones?
A. Stop the functioning of their phones. B. Set up a password．
C. Get all the money out of their phones. D. Call off large purchases．

In 1863the first underground passenger railway in the world opened in London. It allowed people to avoid terrible 56 (crowd) on the roads above as they travelled to and 57 work. It took three years to complete and was built using an interesting method. This included digging up the road, 58 (lay) the track and then building a strong roof over 59 top. When all those had been done, the road surface was replaced.
Steam engines 60 (use) to pull the carriages (车厢) and it must have been 61 (fair)uncomfortable for the passsengers, with all the smoke and noise. However, the railway quickly proved to be a great success and within six months, more than 25,000 people were using 62 every day.
Later, engineers 63 (manage) to build railways in a system of deep tunnels (隧道）, which became known as theTube（地铁）. This development was only possible with the 64 (introduce) of electric-powered engines and lifts. The central London Railway was one of the most 65 (success) of these new lines, and was opened in 1900. It had white-painted tunnels and bright red carriages, and proved extremely popular with the public.

It had been a year since Susan became blind. As the result of an accident she was suddenly thrown into a world of darkness. Susan’s husband Mark watched her step into hopelessness and he had made up his mind to use every possible means to help his wife.
Finally, Susan felt ready to return to her job, but how would she get there? She used to take the bus, but she was now too scared to get around the city by herself. Mark offered to take the bus with Susan each morning and eveninguntil she could manage it by herself.
For two weeks, Mark accompanied（陪同） Susan to and from work each day. He taught her how to rely（依靠） on her other senses, specifically her hearing, to know where she was and how to adapt to her new surroundings.

Paragraph 1：At last, Susan decided that she was ready to try the trip on her own . Monday morning arrived.Before she left, she hugged her husband tightly, her eyes filled with tears of gratitude (感激). She said good-bye and, for the first time, they went their separated ways. Each day went perfectly, and a wild excitement took hold of Susan. She was doing it!
Paragraph 2：On Friday morning, as she was getting off the bus, the driver said, “Miss, I sure envy( 羡慕) you.” Curious, Susan asked the driver why .“You know, every morning for the whole week, a fine-looking gentleman in a military uniform has been standing across the corner watching you until you enter your office building safely,” the bus driver said.Tears of happiness poured down Susan’s cheeks. She was so lucky for he had given her a gift more powerful than love. That is the gift of love that can bring light where there is darkness.

Text 4
W: I hope you like the book I lent you. I wasn't sure if you'd be interested.

Text 6
W: Harry, let's play some ping-pong today.

W: Well, how about going skating?

M: Yes, I am. I'll graduate from college the coming June. My major is Chinese.
W: I see. Have you ever done any work in this field?
M: Yes, I used to be a tour guide for Chinese travellers.
W: Good. Now, how much money do you expect to have for a year?
M: From what I've read, it seems that a starting pay would be around $12,000 a year.
W: Here, you would start at $10,500 for the first year…a kind of training period. Then you would go to $15,000.
M: That sounds fair enough. What do you think are the chances for me to get a job here?
W: Well, I'm talking to three people today and four tomorrow. We'll be hiring two people. You'll hear from us 
sometime next month. Good luck! And thanks for coming in today.

M: Well, I'd love to share with you my personal opinions on city life and life in small towns. I grew up in a 
small town until I was 18 and then moved to a big city, so I have experienced the good and bad sides of both.
 I never thought that I would like living in a big city, but I was wrong. After ten years of living in one, I can't 
imagine ever living in a small town again. Surely small towns and big cities both have some problems in terms of transport. In a small town, you have to own a car to make life comfortable. You can't get around without one because there isn't any kind of public transport. Big cities generally have heavy traffic and expensive parking,
but there you have a choice of taking public transport, which is cheaper than driving. So, if you don't have a car, you'd better live in the city. I also love the exciting life in big cities. I can always enjoy a lot of films, concerts, and other wonderful shows. However, these things are not common in small towns. The final thing I like about 
large cities is that you can meet different kinds of people. However, you seldom find such a variety of people in a smaller town. I think that living in an area where everyone was just like me would quickly become dull. Of  course, safety should be considered, and that's one area where small towns are better than big cities. Still, I would rather be a bit more careful and live in a large city than to feel safe but dull.
