第二部分阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

21．（6分）N early 20 U.S. states have started carrying out former president Barack Obama’s Clean Power Plan, which places limits on carbon dioxide emissions from power plants in an effort to reduce the impacts of climate change. The plan has been in legal limbo (边缘) for the past year. Y et scientists have now calculated another outcome of the policy: harm to crop yields (产量) if the plan is cancelled. Along with carbon pollution, coal-fired power plants spew (喷出) pollutants that form what we know as smog. The contribution of smog to increased rates of asthma (哮喘) and premature deaths was already known. The new research estimates the extent to which smog, under air-pollution policies-4n place before the Clean Power Plan, would limit production in 2020 of four major crops: corn, cotton, potatoes and soybeans.
Led by environmental engineer Shannon L. Capps, now at Drexel University, the team also sketched the extent to which those crop production losses would reduce under three nationwide scenarios (方案). One improved the efficiency of individual power plants. Another modeled a policy similar to the Obama plan, setting state CO2 emissions goals for the electricity department. A third established a tax on carbon emissions, under which emissions fell the most. But the greatest drop in smog-forming pollutants—and greatest gains in crop yields—came from policies such as the Clean Power Plan.
Researchers calculated how well each scenario would reduce the potential productivity loss (PPL) of each crop. PPL is a projected value for 2020 and indicates how much crop growth would suffer because of smog. Scenario 2 most closely agrees with results expected from the Clean Power Plan.
1、What’s the main purpose of The Clean Power Plan?
A．To offer clean power, B．To limit CO2 emissions.
C．To slow climate change. D．To increase crop production.
2、The latest research shows that smog may cause .
A．asthma B．early deaths
C．heart disease D．crop production loss
3、What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A．Scenario 3 was intended to increase taxes.
B．Scenario 2 increased crop yields most.
C．Scenario 1 didn’t have any effect on crop yields.
D．The three scenarios were made at Drexel University.
4、What’s the best title of the passage?
A．U.S. states restart the Obama’s Plan.
B．The Clean Power Plan was called off.
C．Three scenarios benefit crop yields.
D．Smog does harm to people’s health.
22．（8分）I have had a lifelong fascination﹣call it obsession if you like﹣with communication，with making links to other places，other cultures，other worlds．The roots of this obsession have often puzzled me．I am not﹣never have been﹣a gregarious person．Quite the opposite，I was a solitary child and my classmates at school and university always thought of me as a loner．I was never crazy about the noisy solidarity of social gatherings．So why was I possessed of a desire to make contact with distant places？
It can partly be explained by the start I had in life．I grew up on what seemed at the time like the edge of the world ﹣in a remote part of rural Ireland，in a household with few books or magazines，and no television．Foreign travel was unheard of．Apart from those who emigrated to Great Britain or the United States，virtually nobody we knew had ever been abroad．Nobody ever went overseas on holiday，and no foreign languages were taught in the schools I attended﹣with the exception of Latin．We lived in a closed society that thought of itself as self﹣sufficient．There was however one chink of light in the suffocating gloom﹣the radio，which we called "the wireless．" It was，by modern standards，a huge apparatus powered by valves﹣which is why it took some time to warm up﹣and a "magic eye" tuning indicator﹣a greenish glass circle that winked at you as the signal waxed or waned．The best thing about our wireless，though，was that it had a shortwave band．This was the source of endless fascination to me，because it meant that even with this primitive device one could listen to the world．At first I couldn't understand how it worked．Why was reception so much better at night？Why was it so infuriatingly variable？I asked my father，who looked evasive and just said it had something to do with "the whachamacallit sphere" （he always called complicated things the whachamacallit），but this gave me enough of a steer to go to the local library and start digging．In due course I discovered that he was referring to the ionosphere﹣a layer of charged particles high up at the edge of the Earth's atmosphere that acts as a kind of reflector for radio waves of certain frequencies．The reason shortwave radio could travel such huge distances was that it used the ionosphere to bounce signals round the world﹣which was why radio hams in Latin America or Australia could sometimes be heard by a young boy on the western seaboard of Ireland．Signals from such distant shores were more likely to get through at night because then the ionosphere was higher and transmission over longer distances was possible．
I was spellbound by this discovery of how technology could piggyback on a natural phenomenon to push forward low﹣power signals through immense distances．But most of all I was entranced by the idea of shortwave radio，for this was a technology which belonged not to great corporations or governments，but to people．It was possible，my father explained，to obtain a license to operate your own shortwave radio station．And all over the globe people held
such licenses，which enabled them to sit in their back rooms and broadcast to the whole world．The world suddenly seemed wide open to me．
1、The second paragraph primarily serves to．
A．reveal the author's attitude toward foreign cultures
B．present information that sheds light on a certain preoccupation
C．to display the author's nostalgia for his adolescence
D．foreshadow the crucial difference between the author and his father
2、The author considers his father's answer （in Paragraph 3）to be．
A．incomplete but helpful
B．humorous but meaningful
C．lighthearted yet concerned
D．silly and confusing
3、Which of the following，if true，would most weaken the claim of operating a shortwave radio station？A．Many governments around the world do not regulate shortwave users
B．Shortwave equipment is very inexpensive and is getting cheaper all the time
C．Most individuals who apply for shortwave licenses are turned down．
D．Communications experts predict that the Internet will eventually replace shortwave radio．
4、The passage is primarily about the author's．
A．decision to pursue a career in science
B．acceptance of his family's sheltered outlook
C．devotion to the study of emerging technology
D．discovery of a medium's liberating potential
23．（8分）Y oung sunflowers turn and swing every day. New findings add to evidence that the plants are animal-like.
Harmer, a professor in the University of California at Davis’ Department of Plant Biology, carried out a series of experiments on sunflowers in the field, in pots outdoors and in indoor growth chambers.
By staking plants so that they could not move, Harmer showed that he could destroy their ability to track the sun. He also noticed that sunflowers prevented from moving were not as tough and leafy as those that were free to move. When plants were moved indoor with a settled overhead light, they continued to swing back and forth for a few days.
The indoor plants did start tracking the “sun” again when the apparent source of lighting was moved across the room. The plants could reliably track the movement and return at night when the artificial day was close to a 24-hour cycle, but not when it was closer to 30 hours.
When sunflowers track the sun, the cast sides of their stems grew more rapidly than the west sides. Ai night, the west sides grew faster as the stem swung the other way. The team identified a number of genes that were expressed at higher levels on the sunward side of the plant during the day, or on the other side at night. A plant growth-regulating hormone, called auxin, appears to be a key driver.
The “dance” to the sun cycle obviously slows when the sunflower matures and its flowers open up. At that point, the plants stop moving during the day and settle down facing the sun in the east.
“Bees like warm flowers.” Harmer said, adding that the bees are cold-blooded, so landing on a warm flower saves them energy and perhaps feels really good.
“The morning warmth changes the flowers in a way to make them more appealing to insects, perhaps causing them to release more attractive scents earlier in the day.” he said. “We’re currently testing this idea.”
1、Why did Harmer do the experiment on sunflowers?
A．To see how sunflowers grow up.
B．To show w hat sunflowers’ genes are.
C．To study why sunflowers track the sun.
D．To check if sunflowers swing in cloudy days.
2、What does the underlined word “slaking” probably mean in Paragraph 3?
A．Tracking. B．Fastening.
C．Preserving. D．Researching.
3、What is the result of sunflowers being stopped from moving?
A．They won’t grow well.
B．They will grow faster than usual.
C．They won’t swing back though set free.
D．They will produce a number of new genes.
4、What is the advantage of sunflowers’ dance to the sun?
A．They attract more insects. B．They save more energy.
C．They mature more rapidly. D．They produce more flowers.
24．（8分）If you’re a book lover，you have a pile of books on your bedside，or a bookshelf in your library with a“to read”sign on it．Yet you can’t stop yourself from adding to the pile．This can lead to feelings of guilt over your new purchases．But I’m here to tell you to stop worrying．
What you have is an antilibrary，and it’s a very good thing．The term comes from writer Umberto Eco．He is the owner of a large personal library．He separates visitors into two groups：those who react with“Wow! What a library you
have! How many of these books have you read?”and the others who get the point that a private library is not something to show off but a research too1．Read books are far less valuable than unread ones．Indeed，the more you know，the larger the rows of unread books．Let us call this collection an antilibrary．
If you think you already know everything about a subject，you’re cutting yourself off from a strea m of information at an artificial point．So a growing library of books you haven’t read means you’re consistently curious about the unknown．And that attitude is a great foundation for a lifelong love of 1earning．
So don’t feel guilt over your unread books．Those books will be there for you when you do want them，and as you build your library of read and unread books，you can start using it as you would use a bigger library．Certain books may become references more than read-throughs．Or you may find that a book you bought five years ago has special relevance today．Letting the role of books evolve in your life is a healthy sign of curiosity．That’s good for you and good for the world around you．
1、What does the underlined word“antilibrary”in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Feelings of guilt over new books．
B．A pile of books on the bookshelf．
C．The collection of unread books．
D．A large personal library．
2、According to the author，more unread books mean________．
A．your wrong lifelong learning attitude
B．you limit yourself from the unknown
C．your have no interest in the new world
D．your strong desire about new information
3、What’s the author’s attitude towards having an antilibrary?
A．Favorable．B．Doubtful．
C．Ambiguous．D．Contradictory．
4、What can we know from the last paragraph?
A．Curiosity is a sign of high IQ．
B．Books are the ladder in our life．
C．Unread books are surely relevant to the present．
D．We should read through every book．
25．（10分）Dodder is an unusual and unwanted plant that attacks other plants. Except for its flowers, the plant looks like spaghetti, a kind of noodles in the shape of long thin pieces that look like string when they are cooked. Its
almost leafless, thread-like stems（茎）hang down on top of other plants that dodder needs to stay alive. Dodder does not produce its own food. Instead, it steals food from other plants. It feeds by sucking juices from the plant which is wrapped around, often making its host very weak or even killing it.
Dodder can find other plants by their smell. When a young dodder plant starts growing, it follows the smell of plants it prefers, like tomato plants, potato plants, or other farm crops. Unlike most plants that usually grow in the direction of light or warmth, a dodder plant will grow in the direction of, for example, tomato smell-if a tomato happens to be growing nearby.
However, a young dodder plant must find a host plant quickly. It no longer needs its root once it is attached to the host and wrapped around it. If it cannot catch a smell of a potential host within a few days, it will dry up and disappear-even if there is plenty of water around. Once it finds a host, the young dodder plant will attach itself to it and start growing faster. At that point the dodder plant will drop its root.
Dodder is thus a difficult weed to manage and a real headache for farmers. When it does get out of hand, dodder can greatly reduce a farmer’s harvest or even destroy crops completely. Before sowing their produce, especially farmers in warm parts of the world often check to make sure no unwanted dodder seeds have mixed with their crop seeds. This is a good way to stop dodder plants from making their way to a crop field secretly.
1、Why does the author mention spaghetti in the first paragraph?
A．To analyze the content of some food.
B．To describe tie shape of dodder plants.
C．To explain where the dodder plants come from.
D．To argue that dodder plants can be used.
2、What will happen if a dodder plant starts growing where there are no other plants around?
A．It will die sooner or later.
B．It will grow deep roots.
C．It will attract other plants.
D．It will cover the entire area of soil.
3、What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Dodder does not produce its own food.
B．Dodder can affect farmers’ income.
C．Dodder can only survive in the shade.
D．Dodder only grows in the warm areas.
4、What is the main topic of the passage?
A．A new variety of farm crops.
B．Plants that are harmful to humans.
C．The special abilities of a dangerous plant.
D．Recent improvements in farming methods.

26．（30分）It was a lazy morning during the Christmas week. We were enjoying breakfast when the doorbell rang. It was a little girl, standing at the doorway with a piece of paper and a face that carried an expression of want, rather a common 1 during Christmas.
She murmured that the paper was her booklist and that she was going around 2 money to buy her schoolbooks. My children went inside and brought some 3 for her. This kind of incident happens very often in my hometown,
4 during Christmas.
From where I was seated, I could see her clearly. She looked about ten years old and she wore a dress too big for her. She spoke in a 5 voice and looked at me straight in the eye. Something made me get up and 6 her.
In answer to my questions, she said that her mother made hoppers and she 7 them before going to school. But the hopper money was not adequate to 8 the list; therefore, she was going from house to house asking for help.
Her voice told me the story; her eyes told me that it was 9 . I said I'd buy her what was on the list.
We drove to a nearby bookstore. She sat 10 , with a strange look on her face. When the clerk was taking all the things on the list, the little girl kept staring as if confused. Perhaps she had never 11 so many new things before. They were merely exercise books, pencils, pens and such things. She whispered her 12 to us. Strange, I hadn't been aware that giving such 13 things to one in need, could bring me such a lot of happiness.
As we drove back, I could see the little girl in the mirror. All the gifts I had given in my life never 14 up a face so much. She was grasping the parcel, smiling to herself. The total event made us all very 15 . Our Christmas became more meaningful.
