第二部分阅读理解
第一节（共 15 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 30 分）
A
An All-School Reunion was to be held in Barditch High School. Over 450 people
came to the event. There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at
Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hand to tell stories about the old
days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for over fifty years, was wheeled to the
Park.
Then Ms. Yates started to speak:
“I can’t tell you how pleased I am to be here. I haven’t seen many of you since your
graduation, but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as
crying for your tragedies. I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my
students. Although I haven’t appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the births of your children, in my imagination.”
Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued:
“It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would
succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives,
I can see that you have all been successful in you chosen path.”
“There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her
years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want
you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.”
There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started
clapping. The clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafening roar(呼喊). Lawyers,
truck drivers, bankers and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no
shame all because of the words from a long forgotten English teacher from their
hometown.
21. What activity was organized for the school reunion?
A. A picnic on the school playground.
B. Sightseeing in the park.
C. Graduates’ reports in the old building.
D. Telling stories about past events.
22. We can learn from Ms. Yates’ speech that she _____________.
A. gave her students advice on their careers
B. kept track of her students’ progress
C. attended her students’ college graduations
D. went to her students’ wedding ceremonies
23. Which of the following can best describe Ms. Yates?
A.determined and generous. B. Reliable and devoted
C.Strict but caring. D. Proud but patient
B
There is a test for you. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of
wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness(意识) is as sharp as it
could be, you’ll have no trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child’s day is
filled with, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But
differences that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的）to
new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is
quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.
The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see
and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One cold night when I was hiking in
the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a
mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We
reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep
when they realized it was a hot spring(泉水). Later they all admitted they’d felt cold
water at first.
Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming
things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides
to check its name, and said, a "ruby-crowned kinglet". They no longer paid attention to
the bird and never learned what it was doing.
The pressures of "time" and "destination"(目的地) are further blocks to awareness.
I met many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to
get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to
see what’s around them. I asked them what they’d seen. "Oh, a few birds," they said.
They seemed bent on their destinations.
Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk,
no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this way
and you will open a new dimension(维度) to your life.
24. According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more ____________.
A. sensitive to others’ feelings B. anxious to do wonders
C. likely to develop unpleasant habits D. eager to explore the world
around them
25. What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?
A. To avoid jumping to conclusions. B. To stop complaining all the time.
C. To follow the teacher’s advice. D. To admit mistakes honestly.
26. The bird watchers’ behavior shows that they __________.
A. are really attracted by nature B. are very patient in their
observation
C. care only about the names of birds D. question the field guides
27. Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?
A. The natural beauty isn’t attractive to them.
B. They focus on arriving at the camp in time.
C. The forest in the dark is dangerous for them.
D. Theyare eager to see the rare animals at the destination.
C
It was not easy to buy a delicious pineapple more than 10 years ago. The fruits that
made it to the UK were green on the outside and, more often than not, hard with an
unpleasant taste within. Then in 1966, the Del Monte Gold pineapple produced in
Hawaii first hit our shelves.
The new type of pineapple looked more yellowy-gold than green. It was slightly
softer on the outside and had a lot of juice inside. But the most important thing about
this new type of pineapple was that it was twice as sweet as the hit-and-miss pineapples
we had known. In no time, the Del Monte Gold took the market by storm, rapidly
becoming the world’s best-selling pineapple variety.
In nutrition (营养) it was all good news too. This nice tasting pineapple contained
four times more vitamin C than the old green variety. Nutritionists said that it was not
only full of vitamins, but also good against some diseases. People were eager to be able
to buy this wonderful fruit. The new type of pineapple was selling fast, and the Del
Monte Gold pineapple rapidly became a fixture in the shopping basket of the healthy
eater.
Seeing the growing market for its winning pineapple, Del Monte tried to keep
market to itself. But other fruit companies developed similar pineapples. Del Monte
turned to law for help, but failed. Those companies argued successfully that Del Monte’s attempts to keep the golden pineapple for itself were just a way to knock them
out of the market.
28. We learn from the text that the new type of pineapple is __________.
A. good-looking outside and soft inside B. green outside and sweet inside
C.a little soft outside and sweet inside D. yellowy-gold outside and hard inside
29. Why was the new type of pineapple selling well?
A. It was less sweet and good for health. B. It was rich in nutrition and tasted
nice.
C. It was developed by Del Monte. D. It was used as medicine.
30. The underlined word “fixture” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to something
_________.
A. that is always present B. that people don’t like eating
C. that is difficult to get D. that people use as a gift
31. We learn from the last paragraph that Del Monte _________.
A. succeeded in keeping the pineapple for itself B. slowed other companies to
develop pineapples
C. planned to help the other companies D. tried hard to control the
pineapple market
D
It is said that many brain training products is able to keep us mentally fit. Some
products even claim that brain training can prevent dementia(痴呆) in old age. Many
such products are onlymoney-making rubbish. Also, there is no scientific proof that
games or other brain exercises can have this effect. That is what the German Institute
for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care ( IQWiG) pointed out.
As we get older, our thinking gets slower and it is harder for us to learn new things.
Many people try to stay mentally fit by, for example, learning a new language or doing
crossword puzzles. Computer games that aim to keep the brain active are also becoming
increasingly popular. “ Doing exercises like trying to find symbols on a computer
screen as fast as possible can actually improve your reaction time,” explains Professor
Peter Sawicki, the Institute’s Director. “ But scientific studies have shown that brain training only leads to an improvement in one aspect that it is aimed at. So if you learn to
find symbols quickly, it does not mean that you will be able to improve your memory.”
Research has not shown that brain training can keep up or enhance(加强) people’s
overall(全面的) mental abilities as commonly thought. “ So there is no need to feel bad
if you do not enjoy brain training: there are no health reasons for doing it,” says
Sawicki. “ But if you think brain training exercises are interesting, you can try out
different things. For example, completing the order of letters can improve your logic
skills. And practicing word association techniques can help you to remember things
better. You can do all of these things at home on your own.”
32. What can we learn about the brain training products according to the passage?
A. They are expensive. B. They are effective.
C. They are harmful to the brain. D. They are unreliable
33. According to Peter Sawicki, brain training exercises can________.
A.only improve a certain ability of people
B. help all people improve their memory
C. keep the brain active for a longer time
D. onlyimprove your reaction time
34. The last paragraph shows that brain training exercises should be done_______.
A. when you can’t learn new things B. in a relaxing way
C. under strict instructions D. when your thinking gets much slower
35. On the whole, researchers think that brain training exercises_______.
A. aren’t as effective as commonly thought
B. are just designed for young people to have fun
C. may benefit people in some indirect ways
D. shouldn’t be encouraged

（Text 2）
W: Songs that make our hearts happy can make them stronger, too?
M: Sure. It’s a new find by American researchers and reported in Russia on Tuesday.
（Text 3）
W: Do you have any change? I’m dying for candy and this machine won’t give change.
M: Look. This one gives change. I think I’ll get something to eat, too.
（Text 4）
W: Good morning. May I help you, sir?
M: Yes, could I change these pounds for dollars, please?
W: Do you want small bills or large ones?
M: Both are OK.
（Text 5）
M: Why didn’t you call me yesterday? I was waiting by the phone all day.
W: I’m sorry, but I couldn’t call. I couldn’t find a phone.
M: What do you mean you couldn’t call? You have a cellphone, don’t you?
W: I used to have a cellphone. The teacher took it away because I tried to call you from class.
（Text 6）
M: Hello. Can I help you?
W: Oh, hello. Yes. I want something to wear at a conference.
M: So, you're looking for something quite smart.W: Yes. Some kind of business suit...Hmm, this is nice. Is this one on sale?
M: Yes, it is. There's a 25% reduction on this one. It's a real bargain.
W: Hmm. It's still a bit expensive for me. Is there a discount for cash?
M: Oh, no, I'm sorry.
W: Oh, well, can I try it on?
M: Yes, of course. The changing room is just over there.
W: Thanks.
（Text 7）
W: My grandfather hasn't been too well lately.
M: Oh dear. I'm sorry to hear that.
W: He's 79. Don't you think he should slow down a bit at his age?
M: Absolutely.
W: But he won't listen to me. He says he wants to enjoy his life to the full.
M: Fair enough.
W: Last summer he went on a two-week cycling holiday in France. Last winter he attended a skiing
contest.
M: You are kidding. I can't believe it.
W: We're going to give him a big party for his 80th birthday.
M: That's great.
W: But before that, I'm going to have a word with him and tell him to take things more easy.
M: Good for you.

W: Well, if you’d listened to me when I suggested asking someone for directions, we shouldn’t have
got lost in the first place, would we?M: Oh, go on! Blame it all on me! You were the one who was driving when we got stopped by the
police. If you hadn’t been speeding, we wouldn’t have been stopped at all!
W: That’s not fair. We were doing fine until you suddenly decided you knew a quicker way!
M: Oh, come on! I only suggest it because we were running so late. We would’ve been fine if you
hadn’t suggested driving instead of taking the train.
W: No! We would’ve been fine if you had remembered to book tickets!
（Text 9）
W: Why is it that some children perform better than others at school?
M: Obviously, certain children are brighter than others. But it is not that simple. A lot of emphasis is
placed on intelligence measured by tests.
W: The so-called IQ tests?
M: Yes. Basically they are intended to test language and numerical ability, so some children are
bound to suffer. This is very unfortunate. A child with an average IQ may turn out to be
successful when he grows up.
W: What you are saying is that some children have abilities that are not easy to measure.
M: Exactly. If these abilities are not discovered early, they cannot be developed. That’s why there
are so many unhappy parents in the world. They are not doing the things they are best at.
W: I see.
M: But at school, only those who are good with words and numbers will probably do well in exams.
W: Right. Is there anything a parent can do to help in this case?
M: Yes. In my opinion, a child should be judged on his individual talents. After all, being happy in
life is putting your skills to good use, no matter what they are.
（Text 10）
Mr. Mora is a famous university president. He is remembered as a humorous man because his
lectures cause laughter from time to time. He is also remembered by his family and friends for being
absent-minded. There are many interesting stories about Mr. Mora, which amuses people.
Once on a train, a conductor came to Mr. Mora, asking for his ticket. He began to search his
pockets. No ticket appeared. Mr. Mora began searching his suitcase. “Never mind, sir,” said the
conductor, seeing how anxious Mr. Mora was becoming and trying to comfort him. “When you find your ticket, just post it to the station. I’m sure you have it somewhere.” “I’m sure, too,” said the
president as he continued searching. “But I must find it. I need to know where I’m going.”
Mr. Mora got off the train in New York and hurried to the post office to make a telephone call to
his secretary. “I’m in New York now but I don’t know why,” said Mr. Mora, feeling like a small boy
who had got lost. Within minutes came the short reply, “You are not supposed to be in New York.
You should be in Princeton to give a lecture.”
