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）
In America, the first Halloween celebrations were a way to mark the end-of-year harvest season, and the food that was served mainly consisted of homemade seasonal treats like caramel apples and mixed nuts. There were no soul cakes — or candies, for that matter — to be found.
It wasn't until the 1950s that trick-or-treating gained popularity in the US. Following the Great Depression and World War II, the suburbs were booming, and people were looking for excuses to have fun and get to know their neighbors. The old practice of souling came back to life again and was made into an excuse for kids to dress up in costumes and roam (漫游) their neighborhoods. Common trick-or-treat offerings included nuts, coins, and homemade baked goods.
That changed when the candy companies got their hands on the holiday. They had already convinced consumers that they needed candy on Christmas and Easter, and they were looking for an equally lucrative opportunity to market candy in the fall. The new practice of trick-or-treating was almost too good to be true. Manufacturers downsized candies into smaller, bite-sized packages and began marketing them as treats for Halloween. Adults were grateful to have a convenient alternative to baking, kids loved the sweet treats, and the candy companies made billions.
Today, it's hard to imagine Halloween without Skittles, chocolate bars, and the perennial candy corn debates. But when you're digging through a bag or bowl of Halloween candy this October, remember that you could have been eating soul cakes instead.
23．What did people enjoy on earlier Halloween?
A．Caramel apples. B．Soul cakes. C．Candies. D．Peanuts.
24．What probably helped make trick-or-treating popular in the US?
A．The Great Depression. B．World War II.
C．The kids’ practice. D．Christmas and Easter.
25．Which word can best replace “lucrative” in Paragraph 3?
A．Confident. B．Beneficial. C．Unforgettable. D．Changeable.
26．What can be the best title for the text?
A．Candies in America. B．Halloween Celebrations.
C．Candies and Halloween. D．Americans and Festivals.

I stood in my father's garden one late summer evening, watching my three kids dig in the dirt with toy bulldozers (推土机). I had driven up to my parents' house that afternoon in a fit of desperation. My husband was working a double shift, my twins hadn't napped, and I was one misstep away from a complete breakdown.
"Come up," my mom said, "Let's rest for a white."
As the day of temporary relaxation drew to a close, I wandered along Dad's once-neat garden rows and noticed the tomato plants Dad had planted.
"Roma tomatoes, the kind for sauce. Remember when your mom used to make sauce?" my father said.
I hadn't thought of it in years actually. It was a recipe passed from my Italian immigrant great-grandmother down to my grandmother and then my mother. And that's where it had stopped. Though I liked cooking, I didn't want to waste much time on the dish. Why should I simmer (慢慢地煮) tomato sauce all day when I could make different kinds of dishes?
Dad gave me an idea. "I'm going to make sauce," I said. My father raised a skeptical eyebrow but grabbed some boxes and told the kids to start picking. The twins threw tomatoes like softballs to each other as the youngest begged to join me. Everyone was crying at one point, and I almost gave up on grand scheme. Yet something inside me fought back, a deep-seated fancy for finding the link between the recipe's owner and me.
At last, I successfully finished my sauce and it was approved by my parents. The efforts I made with those boxes of tomatoes gave me a sense of accomplishment. Each crank of the handle, each slice of the knife, each stir of the stockpot was a prayer for comfort and confidence. Like most things that are worthwhile, the mess was part of the process.
27．The author went to her parents' house that afternoon to ________.
A．pick up her children B．relieve herself from daily chores
C．visit her father's garden D．learn to cook tomato sauce
28．What made the author continue her grand scheme?
A．The encouragement from her father.
B．The expectation from the recipe's owner.
C．Her children's requirement.
D．Her desire to follow a family tradition.
29．What message does the story convey?
A．Experience helps to promote excellence.
B．A strong-willed soul can reach his goal.
C．Life is most beautiful when it is imperfect.
D．Ups and downs make one strong.

If you’ve watched Grey’s Anatomy, then you’ve gotten an insight into the complex hierarchies (等级) that rule a hospital. Over 17 seasons, the show’s heroine, Meredith Grey, got promoted from a lowly intern (实习生) to chief of general surgery, learning from the presiding residents and older surgeons along the way. There’s rarely doubt about who is in charge, who has more expertise, or who should be supervising and training other staff. Grey’s fictional journey illustrates the complicated dynamics of a health care setting, whether it’s a local clinic or a busy city hospital. Those hierarchies can help teams provide care efficiently, but what happens when those traditional roles are disrupted?
“These status barriers are tricky,” says Sara Singer, a professor of organizational behavior and a professor of medicine.“They can get in the way of medical professionals learning new skills, particularly when junior employees are asked to show more senior coworkers how to use a new technology. ” But, as Singer and her coauthors reveal in a recent paper, upending these complex hierarchies can be a useful training strategy.
Singer and her coauthors studied observations from five different primary care settings over the course of nearly two years. At each, medical assistants and patient-service representatives had to learn several new digital technologies. Even though these positions are fairly low in the medical and administrative order, Singer says that within these jobs, tenure and status are still important. So when younger employees were selected to be trainers, that threw the typical power balance off the good state. At some sites, employees struggled to pick up the skills they needed. “There were some groups where the training seemed to be taking and people seemed to be following on with the work that was intended,” Singer says. “But at other places it just wasn’t working out.”
By creating a system that gave everyone a chance at those opportunities, clinics could remove the jealousy that might come from selecting one younger employee over another time and time again.
30．Why is Grey’s Anatomy mentioned in the text?
A．To review the main heroine. B．To introduce the main topic.
C．To tell readers a new movie. D．To show the author’s attitude.
31．What does Grey’s fictional journey show?
A．The status barriers in existence.
B．The way to provide care efficiently.
C．The learning spirits of a new employee.
D．The traditional managing system of medical institutions.
32．What can be inferred in the third paragraph?
A．Hospitals should offer equal opportunities to accept training.
B．Newly-employed medical workers work hard to learn skills.
C．It is challenging to change the conventional training approach.
D．A new system should be created to evaluate doctors and nurses.
33．Which of the following may Singer agree with according to the text?
A．Younger colleagues can be trained to teach older workers new skills.
B．Health care settings in the world are extremely complex.
C．Everybody likes to give the younger people instructions.
D．Medical residents are too busy to balance their work and life.

The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean, so that the audience could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other for ever. He sent camera team out one evening to film the sunset for him.
The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with that sunset?”
“No, Sir,” the men answered.
The director was angry.  “Why not?”  he asked.
“Well,” one of the men answered, “we are on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.”
“But I want a sunset!” the director shouted. “Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”
But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why don’t you photograph a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards, Then it’ll look like a sunset.” “That’s a very good idea!” the director said. Then he turned to the camera team and said, “Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”
The camera team went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay. Then at nine o'clock they took it to the director. “Here it is, Sir,” they said, and give it to him. He was very pleased.
They all went into the studio. “All right,” the director explained, “now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the sunset behind them.”
The “sunset” began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera team to stop.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grey and blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. ____39____ At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. ____40____ If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
____41____ A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀) than any other bridge in the area—until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. ____42____
____43____ It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
A．You tend to be pessimist.
B．The rooms are painted in different colors as you like.
C．Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colors.
D．Colors do influence our moods—there is no doubt about it.
E．Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.
F．Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
G．They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up—we are born with our preference.

Jimmy and Bob who were raised in New York were childhood best friends. When Bob was eighteen and Jimmy was twenty, Bob set out for the West to make his fortune. They parted at “Big Joe’ Brady’s” and made a promise to get together at the same place after twenty years. However, at the appointed time and place, it turned out that Bob became a criminal while Jimmy was a policeman. Jimmy did his duty and Bob was put into prison. Having spent 20 years in jail, Bob was finally released. Now 58, felt lost and helpless.
“Twenty years is a long time,” he smiled bitterly, not knowing where to go. He had no family, and had never heard a word from Jimmy again since that cold, dark night. “Was he ashamed of having a friend like me?” Bob longed for an answer.
“Excuse me, sir, are you Bob?” Bob heard the voice of a young man.
“Yes.” He turned around and was surprised to find a familiar-looking man in his thirties. “Have we met before?”
“No, sir,” replied the man. “My father told me to meet you today. I have a note for you from him.”
Doubtfully, Bob unfolded the note. His hands were shaking by the time he had finished reading.
Bob, the doctor says I’ve only got three months. I’m afraid I won’t be able to meet you this time, but you’ll always be my dear friend.
Jimmy

74．Boys and girls,
Today I’ll talk about our English club. Our English club was set up two months ago. Now we have members of 25. We meet once a week on Saturday afternoon. So far we have conducted a variety of activities on English learning, such as watching English films, holding a Christmas party and getting together foreign students.
Last week we held an English story-telling competition. We required that the entries be original and interesting and be presented in English within five minutes. Every member took an active part in the activity. Two foreign English teachers were invited to act as judges. At last Li Ping won the first place. Many members said the activity benefited them in many ways. Not only did it improve their spoken English, but also it brought them much fun. They hope many such activities can be held.
  That’s all. Thank you.
75．“Yes, sir,” the young man smiled. “And my name is Bob.” Speechless, Bob realized that he had lost his best friend forever. Although there were some problems between them, he has forgiven him. And Jimmy commemorated their friendship in his own way. Then Bob followed Jimmy’s son home, which Jimmy arranged for him before his death. The uncertainty was gone. He now had a home. He knew he wasn’t alone anymore because his friend and junior Bob will be his side.
