第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，共 50 分）
第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D ）中，选出最佳选项，
并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（共 20小题，每小题 2分，共 40分）
A
It was such an extremely freezing day that I decided to get a cup of hot drinking first after
work. As my colleague, Ricky, and I were making our way to a coffee shop, I noticed an old
gentleman rather poorly dressed sitting on a bench nearby. Obviously he was frozen, seemingly
one of the homeless or someone like that.
We joined the line and waited to be served. Ricky handed the server a twenty-dollar bill,
ordered three cups of hot coffee, and gestured the sever to give one to the old gentleman outside
on the bench as a favour. The server looked at Ricky, a little perplexed, without full
comprehension of the request. Afterwards, there was a wonderful exchange between the server
and the old man in need of some attention. I only wish I had taken a photo of the smiles on the
both faces.
As I was thinking about this event later on, I wondered to myself why Ricky didn’t
perform this act of kindness himself. I suspect that deep down in his heart he was hoping that
this act of kindness might inspire others to do something for this older man as well. Absolutely
beautiful!
There are many ways of thinking when we met someone as the old man in need of
kindness and attention. Perhaps he needs a little helping hand and thank God for my colleague
who inspired the others to goodness as well. Oh, by the way, the last words Ricky told the server
was, “There go I, but for the Grace of God.”
31. What was the author’s impression of the old gentleman?
A. He was a greedy man. B. He took on a sign of poor manners.
C. He was in poor health. D. He needed some kind of human care.
32. The underlined word “perplexed” in the 1st paragraph probably means “________”.
A. annoyed B. confused C. embarrassed D. determined
33. Why didn’t Ricky give the favour to the old gentleman himself?
A. He didn’t know the old gentleman.
B. He was too shy to speak to strangers.
C. He tried to influence others to be kind.
D. He feared the old man would refuse his help.
34. What the author really thinks absolutely beautiful is that ________.
A. an act of kindness could go widespread
B. a cup of coffee could warm the old man
C. the server was very kind to customers
D. Ricky had created good impressions
B
Dear Parent,
I have experience with parents who are over protective, always wanting to know every step
that their child makes no matter where they are.
I know a parent who drove her kid almost mad with how protective she was. The parent
would not let her child do anything without her. She would always want to be with her child no
matter what he was doing. If the child wanted to stay the night at a friend’s house, she would say
no. And now her child gets more annoyed with his parent than anything else. It is tough having
an over-protective parent.
But being a protective parent can be a good thing. Wanting to know where your kids are is
just an instinct, something that comes by nature. But it becomes over protective when someone’s
parent is calling him or her 20 times a day just to see what he or she is doing. Parents like this
aren’t really like parents. They are more like prison guards with their child being the prisoner.
Having a prison guard for a child is a torture. The only thing the child can do is sit at home.
Parents like this won’t let their children do anything. They sometimes allow them to go out with
friends. But they have to be with them on dates and will not even let them out of their sight. With
parents like this, it makes the kids feel like they have to escape just to have their own life outside
of their parents.
Wanting to protect a child is just something that comes with the job of being a parent, but
being so protective to the point that you would put a tracking chip(芯片 ) in your child is
horrible.
Sincerely,
Over-protected child
35. In the first two paragraphs, the author tries to _______.
A. tell parents to stop their practices of over control
B. make parents see if it is good to over control kids
C. tell his/her personal stories of being overprotected
D. show parents what it is like to be overprotected
36. If a parent keeps track of the child by calling one or two times, it can be seen as _______.
A. overprotective B. considerate
C. unconcerned D. unreasonable
37. When a child has a torture from parental overprotection, he or she probably _______.
A. mentally and physically suffers B. drops out of school
C. academically and morally fails D. ends up in prison
38. What’s the main message for parents in this letter?
A. Being overprotective is good for their children.
B. Children should not be allowed to go out on their own.
C. Children don’t want to be watched all the time.
D. Parents should leave their children completely alone.
C
If you have a private car, there may be opportunities to do more than just drive around
where you live. You need to work out the details for a long trip. Anywhere you go, your end goal
is to arrive safely and in good time at your destination. You might be very annoyed if your car
breaks down or you experience some emergency, particularly if it could have been prevented. So
if you want to have a smooth trip, these tips can be helpful.
Firstly, it is best to guarantee that your car is running properly and doesn’t require any
general maintenance (维修 ). Be certain to set up any needed service in advance so it can be
completed before your trip.
It is additionally important to have what you may need if you meet car trouble along the
way. For example, will you remember to check the air pressure in your spare tire when you
check the four tires currently on your vehicle? It should be adequately inflated (鼓起的) so you
could drive on it if something happens to one of the other tires.
If you need to fix your car during the trip, you should have the right equipment with you
and be able to use it. There are of course other mechanical problems that you simply don’t know
how to deal with. It might be wise to have contact information for towing (拖车) services and
roadside assistance readily available in case of emergency.
For a family trip, be equipped for unexpected interruptions. When you have kids, it is
essential to have things available for them to do as well as food and drink. Remember to have
everything packed, also including a first aid bag in case of any minor injuries or sickness. In cold
weather, you should have extras like blankets to keep you warm if you get stuck.
39. Why do you have to get adequately prepared for your long car trip?
A. To avoid breaking traffic laws. B. To make the travel trouble-free.
C. To reduce the cost on the trip. D. To behave normally as drivers.
40. Before starting the trip, you must make sure _______.
A. your car is in perfect condition B. your car needs general maintenance
C. you have long trip driving experience D. your passengers listen to you
41. When you can’t manage a self-service for your car, you’d best _______.
A. borrow convenient equipment B. review the service documents
C. inform the insurance company D. seek nearest roadside assistance
42. From the last two paragraphs we can infer that _______.
A. you’ve got to learn how to fix a car before starting a long trip
B. most long distance trips are dangerous in one way or another
C. children need more than just food and drink for a long trip
D. it is not a good idea to take kids with you on a long trip
D
For some reason we are reminded that we primates (灵长目动物) need love. Kim Bard and
her colleagues carried out a study on 46 chimpanzee (大猩猩 ) orphans, which had lost their
mothers. The study showed that primate babies that had tight relationships with mother figures
did much better on cognitive (认知) tests than babies who only grew up with fellows, but this is
not breaking news. In fact, it’s old news.
In the 1950s, Harry Harlow did a series of experiments with baby monkeys, which showed
that lack of love and comfort would make for a crazy monkey. Harlow made a cage that included
a wire monkey “mother” with a plastic face. Then he equipped the “mother” with a milk bottle.
The cage also had another wire “mother” who was covered with soft cloth. The baby monkeys
spent all their time with the cloth “mother” and only went to the wire “mother” to feed.
Harlow’s monkey experiment was important because, at the time, childcare experts, and
everybody’s grandmother had a “no touch, no comfort” policy toward children. They advised
parents not to respond to crying babies. They thought that babies should sleep alone to become
independent. But Harlow’s work changed that policy. Mothers were soon allowed to have their
babies next to them in the hospital.
The current chimpanzees research based on Harlow’s work shows that mother’s love
doesn’t just make for a psychologically (心理) healthy child, it also makes for a smart child. The
highly raised chimpanzees do better than those that are not loved, and the well-raised
chimpanzees do even better than human kids on IQ tests.
We are social animals which need love. We need to be held and talked to and made to feel
that at least one person wants to be with us all the time.
43. Through the study, Kim Bard concluded that _______.
A. lack of mother love affects a child’s mental growth
B. mother love improves a child’s physical development
C. chimpanzees do better than monkeys in IQ tests
D. mother love helps raise a more independent child
44. In Harlow’s experiment, the baby monkeys _______.
A. stay more often with the wire “mother” with milk
B. are emotionally attached to the clothed wire “mother”
C. refuse to take the two wire “mothers” as real mothers
D. respond in the same way to both wire “mothers”
45. What shows Harlow’s experiment changed the childcare policy?
A. Babies’ separation form mothers. B. A “no touch, no comfort” policy.
C. Babies stayed with their mothers. D. Grandmothers replaced mothers.
46. The current research on chimpanzees further proved that mother love _______.
A. is not needed by everybody B. contributes to overweight
C. prevents independence D. helps babies in more than one way
E
You have to read “between the lines” to get the most out of anything. I mean you need to
“write between the lines.” Marking up a book is an act of love. You shouldn’t mark up a book
which isn’t yours. Librarians or your friends who lend you books expect you to keep them clean,
and you should. If you decide that I am right about the usefulness of marking books, you will
have to buy them. Most of the world’s great books are available today, in reprint editions, at less
than a dollar.
There are two ways one can own a book. The first is the property right you establish by
paying for it, just as you pay for clothes and furniture. But this act of purchase is only the first
step to possession. Full ownership comes only when you have made it a part of yourself, and the
best way to make yourself a part of it is by writing in it. An example may make the point clear.
You buy a beefsteak and get it from the butcher’s ice-box to your own. But you do not own the
beefsteak in the most important sense until you eat it and get it into your blood. I am arguing that
books, too, must be absorbed in your blood to do you any good.
Confusion about what it means to own a book leads people to a false respect for paper,
cover, and type — a respect for the physical thing — the art of the printer rather than the wisdom
of the author. They forget that it is possible for a man to get the idea, to possess the beauty,
which a great book contains, without signing his name on the cover. Having a fine library
doesn’t prove that its owner has a mind enriched by books; it proves nothing more than that he,
his father, or his wife, was rich enough to buy them.
47. In the beginning, the author advises readers to _______.
A. borrow a book B. purchase a book
C. keep clean a book D. write in a book
48. According to the author, real ownership of a book comes to you when you have_______.
A. paid for it B. signed your name on it
C. really learned from it D. borrowed it from a friend
49. Marking up a book is a sign that _______.
A. you understand it and have it do good to you
B. you have its ownership and the right to mark it
C. you don’t have the habit to keep it clean
D. you aren’t aware of the writer’s wisdom
50. What does the author discuss in the last paragraph?
A. The process of printing a book.
B. The meaning of owning a book.
C. The wisdom of writing a book.
D. The value of buying a book.

It was a stormy night, but in the White’s small living room, the fire burned brightly. Sitting
by the fire and telling stories of distant countries was Morris:
It’s hard enough to win in an interview even in the best of circumstances. But when you
can’t afford to buy proper clothing for the interview, it becomes next to impossible.
That’s where Dress for Success comes in. The organization, which is not for profit, helps
low-income women prepare for job interviews. A customer that is referred to Dress for Success
is given two suits for free. After she finds a job, she can join a support group that will help her to
network and get advice about the workplace.
Viola, a customer, had this to say: “Volunteers helped me to pick out a suit that I loved and
then I was coached for my interview. Later, the interviewer told me that I came across as very
capable (能干的) and confident.”
The founder of Dress for Success is Nancy Lublin. It all started with a $5,000 fortune that
Nancy received from her great-grandfather. Nancy, who had a talent for business, hired three
nuns (修女) that knew a lot about the organization as it is today. It is a program that customers
can now find in more than seventy cities in four countries. The organization has been featured on
many TV networks, including CNN. Because of her hard work with Dress for Success, Nancy is
a woman whom many admire.

Nowadays, more and more families choose to spend much money and energy
raising pets. Some pets even enjoy the same status as a real family member. Some
people find it fun to raise a pet. They think the animal is friendly and interesting. It
can accompany them and make them happy. However, it takes much time and
energy to keep a pet. Some animals carry unknown diseases. It can be a danger to
the animal master.
As for my family, we prefer a dog than any other animal. We think it is smarter,
and it needs less food and space than others.
To keep a pet, you must make sure you have much spare time. At the same time,
make sure the animal is safe in health and it does not disturb the neighbours.
