第二部分 ：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节：（共15小题； 每题2分，满分30分）
A
For Canaan Elementary’s second grade in Patchogue, N.Y.，today is speech day ,and right now it’s Chris Palaez’s turn. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the kid who would enjoy public speaking.
But he’s, nervous.“I’m here to tell you today why you should … should…”Chris trips on the“-ld,”a. pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. His teacher ,Thomas Whaley, is next to him, whispering support.“…Vote for …me …”Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion ,Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.
A son of immigrants, Chris stared learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls（回想起）how at the beginning of the year，when called upon to read，Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.
Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. “It takes a lot for any student，” Whaley explains，“especially for a student who is learning English as their new language，to feel confident enough to say，‘I don’t know，but I want to know.’”
Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast（夸耀）about themselves.
“Boasting about yourself，and your best qualities,” Whaley says，“is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”
21. What made Chris nervous？
A. Telling a story. B. Making a speech.
C. Taking a test. D. Answering a question.
22. What does the underlined word “stumbles” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Improper pauses. B. Bad manners. C. Spelling mistakes. D. Silly jokes.
23. We can infer that the purpose of Whaley’s project is to _________.
A. help students see their own strengths
B. assess students’ public speaking skills
C. prepare students for their future jobs
D. inspire students’ love for politics
24. Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher?
A. Humorous. B. Ambitious. C. Caring. D. Demanding.


B
Things Your Pilot Won't Tell You
You may not be getting the airline you paid for． 
You may go to an airline website and buy a ticket, and get onto an airplane that has a similar name painted on it, but half the time, you're really on a regional (地方的)airline．The regionals aren't held to the same safety standards as the majors: their pilots aren't required to have as much training and experience, and the public doesn't know that． 
—Captain at a major airline
If you're a nervous flier, book a morning flight． 
The heating of the ground later causes bumpier (颠簸的)air, and it's much more likely to thunderstorm in the afternoon． 
—Jerry Johnson , pilot, Los Angeles
The smoothest place to sit is often over or near the wing． 
The bumpiest place to sit is in the back．If you're in the middle, you don't move as much． 
—Patrick Smith, pilot, and author of Cockpit Confidential
Sit in the front if you want fresher air． 
The general flow of air in any airplane is from front to back．So if you're really concerned about breathing the freshest possible air or not getting too hot, sit as close to the front as you can．Planes are generally warmest in the back． 
—Tech pilot at a regional airline, Texas
You never know where the safest seat is． 
There is no safest place to sit．In one accident, the people in the back are dead; in the next, it's the people up front． 
—John Nance, aviation safety analyst and retired airline captain, Seattle
I've been struck by lightning twice． 
Most pilots have．Airplanes are built to take it．You hear a big boom and see a big flash and that's it．You're not going to fall out of the sky． 
—Charlotte, pilot for a regional earner, North Carolina
People don't understand why they can't use their cell phones． 
Well, what can happen is 12 people will decide to call someone just before landing, and I can get a false reading on my instruments saying that we are higher than we ideally are． 
—Jim Tilmon, retired American Airlines pilot, Phoenix
25．Jerry Johnson advises nervous fliers to ______． 
A．sit in the back B．fly in the morning
C．fly with major airlines D．avoid flying in bad weather
26．The best seats for those who need fresh air are ______． 
A．in the front B．in the middle C．in the back D．near the wing
27．Passengers' use of cellphones before landing is likely to ______． 
A．increase the risk of being struck by lightning
B．make it difficult for pilots to control the plane
C．cause the instruments of the plane to break down
D．affect pilots' judgment about the height of the plane
C
The holiday season is the time of magic moments. Our hearts are waiting for something special to happen. Children dream of meeting Santa Claus and receive desirable presents. I'm sure that grandparents are waiting for their kids' and grandchildren's visit. If your holiday schedule is tightly packed, then you should find at least two hours to pay a visit to your grandparents.
We often forget about three magic words “l love you". Love is not a sign of weakness and our grandparents deserve to hear these pleasant and healing words. Don't feel shy of showing and proving your love. Your hug and a frank smile can be the best cure for different diseases to your dear grandparents.
Old people are very sensible creatures. They need both physical and mental supports. Younger people should be patient enough to pay attention, hear out and don't let their grandparents feel too old, lonely and useless. There're hundreds of ideas on how to make something good and useful for your grandparents. The best one is to bring a fresh and bushy Christmas tree to their house. Do your best to decorate it with lights and ribbons. Encourage your grandparents to do it together.
Unfortunately, people are like candles. The light of their eyes can die out in a moment. Chances are high that their hearts will stop one day. Why don't we begin to value things before we lose them? I know that not everyone can answer this challenging question.
I hope this week will bring a lot of joy to children, parents and their grandparents. Don't forget to treat grandparents with respect because they're an essential part of your family.
28．How does the author describe children in the passage?
A. They are eager to receive Christmas gifts.
B. They hope to have a good rest in the holidays.
C. They wish to see their grandparents anxiously.
D. They want to see Santa Claus for themselves.
29．Your grandparents will be happy except when __________.
A. you give them a frank and sweet smile B. you pay more attention to them
C. they are ignored D. they know they are useful
30．Why does the author compare human beings to candles?
A. Because people won't have good eyesight.
B. Because few people can live a long time.
C. Because everyone will be in the aging group.
D. Because life on the earth is relatively short.
31．According to the passage the author intends__________.
A. to tell the old are living a quite lonely life
B. to encourage people to visit their grandparents
C. to imply few take care of their grandparents
D. to show he is very kind to his grandparents
D
It is generally believed that we are getting cleaned when we step under a shower. We are, but we’re also giving a home to lots of tiny little creatures we didn’t even know about. A showerhead （淋浴喷头）carries thousands of bacteria（细菌） called Mycobacterium．These can cause problems like coughs and tiredness, and a general feeling of poorliness (身体不舒服). When you turn on the water, the bacteria go from the showerhead onto and into your body.
This is a finding of Norman R. Pace and his team at the University of Colorado, in the US. The scientists investigated bacteria in all kinds of human environment, including showers．Pace's team looked at 45 showerheads in nine American cities. They discovered that 30 percent of them had large amounts of flying Mycobacterium.
But Pace said that they pose few threats to the health．Only those with a weak immune system might need to worry．He told the New York Times that the bacteria are not as unpleasant as might be thought．He said that having a shower is no more dangerous than anything else we do in the morning．
But for those who feel sick about the idea of all those microorganisms (微生物), he had some advice. Let the water run for 30 seconds before getting into the shower. Why? The number of bacteria is smaller than that when the water is just turned on. If that seems like a waste of water, he added that you could also change your showerhead every few months.
However, Pace had good news too. He has also been testing the air in US subways. Apart from iron particles (粒子), which are ground off the track by the wheels of trains, subway air is fresh. The reason is that a train’s movement pumps fresh outdoor air into the tunnels.
Pace explained that he wanted to understand the natural microbial environments of public places. This kind of knowledge might help discover the microbes（细菌） to be used in a bioterrorist (生物恐怖分子) attack.
32. From the finding of Norman R. Pace, after taking a shower, we might cough or feel tired because______．
A. it’s easy to get a cold when taking a bath
B. the showerhead carries many bacteria causing illness
C. we don’t get cleaned while showering
D. we don’t get a weak immune system
33. We can learn from the third paragraph that______.
A. having a shower in the morning is more dangerous than at other time
B. the bacteria always threat people’s health
C. people with a strong immune system needn’t fear those microorganisms.
D. it is better to do some exercise in the morning than have a shower
34. The underlined word “pose” in the third paragraph probably means “______”．
A. cause      B. avoid        C. describe  D. promise
35. What leads to fresh air in US subways?
A. The train’s movement.          B. Iron particles．
C. Train wheels.  D. Air conditioners on the trains．

Four Ways to Be a Great Roommate
Having a roommate can be one of the best experiences in college or, easily, one of the worst. __36__ Follow these tips to avoid the common mistakes that turn good roommate relationships sour.
l Talk things out.
Communication is key. If something happens, sit down with your roommate and have a face-to-face conversation. I’ve seen roommate relationships fall apart because something happens and, instead of talking to each other, the two start complaining about their roommates behind their backs. __37__
l Don’t expect to be best friends.
Some roommates become the best of friends, and some don’t. Don’t put pressure on yourself or your roommate, especially when you first meet. __38__ And if your roommate doesn’t end up being your best friend, don’t worry.
l Ask before you take.
This applies to food, clothes and anything else. If you want to keep a relationship going, show your roommate that you have respect for what is his or hers by asking first. __39__
l Clean up after yourself.
This should go without saying. Don’t be lazy. Or, at least, don’t bury your roommate in your clothes and garbage. Most people I’ve come across in college are messy. __40__ But being considerate with where you put your stuff will help you avoid conflict.
A．So you need to think twice before you help your roommates out.
B．This creates nothing but awkward situations and unhappiness.
C．Even if you both agree to share everything, you should still ask.
D．You don’t have all the time to clean your room and keep it organized.
E．It all starts with you to have a good relationship with your roommate.
F．Sometimes you get stuck with someone who has tons of negative energy.
G．Remember, you’re trying to make a new friend, not to scare your roommate away.

I am Li Hua, a student in Class 8, Grade 3. From the notice put on the wall in our school, I’ve learned that our school radio station needs an English broadcaster. Thus I’m here writing to you to introduce myself.
For one thing, I take great interest in broadcasting. For another, I have received some professional training during the last 5 years. Now I would like to put what I have learned into practice. Moreover, I am particularly good at spoken English. So I hold the belief that I am quite suitable for the post. I would appreciate it if you could give me a chance to work for the school radio station.
