第二部分  阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂

A 

Recently, I learned firsthand why it's a bad idea to judge people too early.

  I'm a nursing supervisor，and it's my job to evaluate workers' performances at the hospital.

  Kenny was a new employee, and he seemed fine. After a few weeks' try，I had to admit that he was clean, punctual and reasonably efficient.

  But he had this self-assured and energetic presence. He was a large man, both physically and socially一he was independent and strong. I worried that a place like our hospital, which demanded teamwork，was not right for such a personality.

  We had a patient named Mary. At 94 years old, Mary was weak as a cobweb(蜘蛛网).She had outlived her husband and sisters and if she had any children, they had long abandoned her.

  Mary had a belief that someone had taken her purse. She searched for it all hours of the day and night. Unless tied to her bed or wheelchair, she would go through the door onto the street, through the laundry room and into the kitchen, mindlessly searching and never giving up. When limited，she wanted her wheelchair in the hallway, where she stopped everyone who came near.

  "Can you lend me a comb?" she would ask. "I've lost mine. It was my red purse. My money is gone, too. Where is my purse?"

  Every day it was the same. We all knew Mary didn't have a purse, but we would answer: "Sure, Mary, if I see your purse I'll bring it back."

One afternoon, just before supper, I saw Kenny walking down the hall with a plastic grocery bag. He walked toward Mary in her wheelchair. He pulled out a red purse.

  Mary's thin old hands flew up to her face in a gesture of wonder and joy, then flew out hungrily like a starved child taking bread. Mary grabbed the red purse. She held it for a moment, just to see it, then pressed it to her breast, rocking it like a baby.

  Kenny leaned over, open the purse and showed Mary a red comb inside. Tears of joy poured down Mary's face.

  Instead of just paying lip service like the rest of us, Kenny had made Mary's problem his problem. I walked back to my desk and sat down in a stunned(震惊的)silence. I had been wrong about Kenny.

21. The author was worried that Kenny would not be fit for his job at the hospital because_______.

A. he didn't have much working experience in medicine

B. he had a strong and independent character

C. his performance during the probation didn't meet their standards

D. he was often too sure of himself and wouldn't listen to others' opinions

22. We can conclude from the article that Mary______________________.

A. didn't get along well with her husband and sisters

B. made up the story of her lost purse out of nowhere

C. couldn't have been happier when Kenny gave her the purse

D. deliberately asked for help from the hospital employees to seek attention

23. The author felt ___________ about her previous evaluation of Kenny when she saw what

Kenny had done for Mary.

A. encouragement    B. wonder    C. satisfaction    D. regret

24. What kind of message does the author intend to convey through the article?

A. Pay attention to what people do instead of what they say.

B. We should treat older people with patience and kindness.

C. Don't jump to conclusions about others.

D. We can always find a teacher in another, even when we least expect it.

 

B

Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect. But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled -- to $1.01 per pack -- smokers have jammed telephone "quit lines" across the country seeking to kick the habit.
       This is not a surprise to public health advocates. They've studied the effect of state tax increases for years, finding that smokers, especially teens, are price sensitive. Nor is it a shock to the industry, which fiercely fights every tax increase.
       The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message. Tobacco taxes improve public health, they raise money and most particularly, they deter people from taking up the habit as teens, which is when nearly all smokers are addicted. Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.
       In Manhattan, for instance, which has the highest tax in the nation; a pack of Marlboro Light Kings cost $10.06 at one drugstore Wednesday. In Charleston,  S.C., where the 7-cent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the nation. The price was $4.78.
       The influence is obvious.
      In New York, high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys -- 13.8%, far below the national average. By comparison, 26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky. Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records.
       Hal Rogers, Representative from Kentucky, like those who are against high tobacco taxes, argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-income Americans "who choose to smoke."
       That's true. But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low-income workers from getting hooked in the first place. As for today's adults, if the new tax drives them to quit, they will have more to spend on their families, cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.
25. The text is mainly about _____________________.
   A. the effect of tobacco tax increase                  B. the rate of teen smoking
   C. the price of cigarettes                       D. the differences in tobacco tax rate
26. The underlined word "deter" in Paragraph 3 most probably means ______________.
   A. remove     B.  discourage     C. benefit        D. free
27. Rogers' attitude towards the low-income smokers might be that of ___________.
   A. sympathy   B. unconcern      C. doubt        D. tolerance 
28. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
   A. Future generations will be hooked on smoking.
   B. Low-income Americans are more likely to fall ill.
   C. The new tax will be beneficial in the long run.
   D. Adults will depend more on their families.

 

C  

We all know that eating junk food can make us fat. However, a new study suggests that it can do more than that---it can also make us lazy, reported CBS News.

In the study, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, US divided 32 female rats into two groups. The first group was fed a diet of healthy food such as corn and fish, while the second was given a diet of highly processed food rich in sugar, namely "junk food".

Within three months, the rats in the second group were already much fatter than those on the healthy diet. And when researchers trained the rats to do simple tasks, they found even more differences between the two groups other than weight.

During the task--pushing a lever(杠杆)to receive a reward of sugar water---the rats on the junk food diet were found to be less willing to move, and they took longer breaks between each push than the lean(瘦的)rats did.

"It is as if the rats are thinking ‘This is too much work’, Aaron Blaisdell, the leader of the study told the Los Angeles Times.

But what about the possibility that the fat rats were less passionate (热爱的) about getting sugar water because they were already eating lots of sugar in their daily diet? That's why researchers repeated the tests by rewarding fat rats with plain water when they were extremely thirsty. However, the results came out just the same.

According to researchers, these differences suggest that junk food changed the chemistry in the rats' brains.

The experiment didn't end there. After six months，the rats' diets were switched, and the overweight rats were given a healthy diet for nine days. However, this change didn't help reduce their weight or improve their ability to perform tasks, which means the effects of their junk food diet persisted(持续存在)."There's no quick fix'，said Blaisdell.

For a long time, we've believed that people become fat because they are lazy. But this study has proven the opposite to be true as well, which indicates that laziness and obesity are a “vicious cycle”(恶性循环).

So, if you constantly feel tired, lacking any urge to get up from your chair, it could be that you've been studying too hard. But you should also pay attention to your diet.

 

29. During the first three months of the experiment by researchers at the University of California,_________________.

A. rats from the healthy diet group ate nothing but corn and fish

B. rats on the junk food diet ate more than those on healthy diet

C. rats on the healthy food diet performed better at simple tasks than those on the junk

  food diet

D. rats on the junk food diet seemed uninterested in sugary food.

30. The researchers rewarded thirsty rats with plain water in the lever test to_________________.

A. help them control their weight

B. test whether fat rats lost interest in the test because they had taken enough sugar

C. change the diet habits of fat rats

D. find out the influence of sugar on rats' brains

31. The underlined word "there" refers to ______________________.

A. after the rats on the junk food diet had worked hard to get sugar water

B. after the type of food rats prefer had been identified

C. after a quick cure for obesity had been found

D. after the fact that fatter rats are lazier than lean rats had been found

32. We can conclude from the article that____________________________.

A. fat people are usually lazier than lean people

B. people should switch between different types of diets to keep healthy

C. being overweight and being lazy can feed into each other

D. laziness is the main cause of weight problems

      Ways to Be More Aware of Your Emotions

As we grow up, we get better at knowing what we are feeling and why. This skill is called emotional awareness. Understanding our emotions can help us know what we want and make choices. Emotional awareness can come more easily to some people than others.    36     Here are a few ways to become more in touch with your emotions:

       37         Start by just noticing different emotions as you feel them. Name them to yourself. For example, you might say, “ I feel proud” when a class presentation goes well, “ I feel disappointed” at not doing well on a test, or “ I feel friendly ” when sitting with a group at lunch.

Track one emotion.       38        Notice how often you feel it and when. Whenever that emotion shows up, you can simply make a mental note to yourself or write it down in a journal. Notice where you are, who you’re with, and what you’re doing when that emotion is present. Note whether the emotion is mild, medium, or strong and if it has different intensities at different times.

Keep a feeling journal.        39        Journaling about your experiences and feelings builds emotional awareness. You also can express an emotion creatively. Make art, write poetry, or compose music that captures a specific emotion you’re feeling.

      40        The more you try to be aware of your emotions, the more you’ll know yourself and understand the people around you.

A. Build your emotional vocabulary.

B. Notice and name your emotions.

C. There’s much more you can try, of course.

D. Pick a familiar emotion like joy and track it throughout the day.

E. The good news is, it’s a skill that everyone can practice.

F. Take a few minutes each day to write about how you feel and why.

G. Try going through the alphabet and thinking of one emotion for each letter.
