第一节 (一共15小题；每一小题2分，满分是30分)
阅读以下短文，从每一小题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最正确选项。

A
Popular music in America is what every student likes. Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class, and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the street.
Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, and the life of American people. Most of the radio programs are music.
Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in many places. Once the popular singer is heard all over the country, young people buy his or her tapes. Some of the money from these tapes goes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national star.
There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk music. It tells stories about the common life of Americans. Another is called western or country music. This is started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching.
21. This passage mainly talks about ____.
A. American music
B. American popular music
C. three sorts of music
D. popular music singers
22. The first three paragraphs mainly tell us ____.
A. that Americans dislike popular music
B. that popular music is an important kind of music in America
C. how to become an international star as a pop singer in America

B
A young woman sits alone in café sipping tea and reading a book. She pauses briefly to write in a nearby notepad before showing her words to a passing café waiter: “Where are the toilets please?〞 This is a familiar scene in Toky o’s
so-called “silent cafes〞, where customers are not allowed to speak, and only communicate by writing in notepads.
The concept rises by a desire to be alone among youg Japanese, a situation brought by economic uncertainty, a shift in traditional family support structures and the growing social isolation(隔离(gélí)). The phenomenon is not limited to coffee shops but covers everything from silent discos, where participants dance alone wearing wireless headphones connected to the DJ, to products such as small desk tents designed for conversation-free privacy in the office. One Kyoto company even offers single women the opportunity to have a “one woman wedding〞– a full bridal affair, complete with white dress and ceremony, and the only thing missing is the groom. The trend has its own media expression –“botchi-zoku〞, referring to individuals who consciously choose to do things completely on their own.
One recent weekday afternoon, Chihiro Higashikokubaru, a 23-year-old nurse, travelled 90 minutes from her home, to Tokyo on her day off in order to enjoy some solo time. Speaking quietly at the entrance of the café, Miss Higashikokubaru said: “I heard about this place via Twitter and I like the idea of coming here. I work as a nurse and it’s always very busy. There are very few quiet places in Tokyo, and it’s a big busy city. I just want to come and sit somewhere quietly on my own. I’m going to drink a cup of tea and maybe do some drawings. I like the idea of a quiet, calm atmosphere.〞
The desire to be isolated is not a new concept in Japan, home to an estimated
3.6 million “hikikomori〞– a more extreme example of social recluses〔隐士(yǐnshì)〕who withdraw completely from society.
24. What is special about the “silent café〞?
A. It offers service by writing not by speaking.
B. People are not allowed to communicate.
C. It has attracted many popular young people.
D. It provides various tea and books.
25. Which of the following accounts for the idea of being alone in Japan?
A. The increasing social isolation.
B. The stable economic situation..
C. The rapid development of internet.
D. The rising demand for privacy
26. What do we know about Higashikokubaru?
A. She doesn’t like to be a nurse.
B. She doesn’t like the life in big cities.
C. She enjoys her solo time in a quiet place.
D. She travelled to Tokyo on her work days.
27. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Lonely Japanese
B. Silent cafes
C. One woman wedding
D. Social recluses in Japan
C
The world's first-known nursery for baby giant manta rays(蝠鲼) has been discovered hidden away in the Gulf of Mexico, the place of 70 miles off the coast of Texas, after studying decades of giant manta ray data from the area by the scientists.
Where the baby manta rays grow up has long troubled scientists, as they are rarely spotted in the four to five years it takes them to become adults, when they can often grow to more than 20ft wide.
In the study Mr Stewart and colleagues describe a reef (暗礁(ànjiāo))---filled with mantas of all ages---where the sea floor runs down into deeper water. He said "We think they may be feeding on specific types of zooplankton(浮游生物) there, then migrating up toward the surface, where we saw them. They might be hanging around the banks because it could be a little safer than open water. We’ve seen them so rarely that we know very little about these baby manta rays. We don‘t know how far they move, or exactly what they feed on, or all of the habitats these access.〞
Giant manta rays are listed as species dying out by protectors, although actual population numbers of the mysterious "gentle giant" are hard to calculate. Sightings of the closely-related reef manta, however, have dropped by 90 percent in regions of southeast Asia in the past decade, according to a study.
Fishing is considered the biggest threat to giant manta numbers, both intentional and accidental. Their gill plates(腮下肉)- the parts through which they filter(过滤) their food from seawater-are sold in China for medical
purposes, while they often end up as something caught by mistake due to their huge wings.
28. Where do the baby manta rays probably grow up according to the study?
A. In the deep water area.
B. On the surface of the sea water.
C. Around the banks of channel.
D. In the reef of the Gulf of Mexico.
29. What can we learn from Paragraph3?
A. Manta rays can be seen on the sea surface.
B. Manta rays prefer the open water to the banks.
C. The scientists have known much about manta rays.
D. Manta rays are fond of eating on the sea surface.
30. What is the main reason for the decrease of giant manta rays?
A. The habitat environment becomes worse.
B. They are overfished by people
C. They are not very difficult to catch.
D. People can see the reef manta much less than before.
31. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?
A. Summarize the previous paragraphs.
B. Warn people of their wrong behaviors.
C. Introduce some knowledge of the fish.
D. Give examples to support his point.
D
Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions.
Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes? It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person's conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.
Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing "the right thing." Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, "You're just saying that to make me feel good. I know it's not true." It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.
Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own
personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let's not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.
32. The first paragraph is mainly about _______.
A. the cause of shyness
B. the feeling of shy people
C. the effect of shyness on people
D. the question in the minds of shy people
33. According to the writer, self-awareness is__________.
A. Harmful to people healthy quality
C. The cause of unhappiness
D. a weak point of shy people
34. What is the shy people’s reaction to praise?
A. They are pleased by it.
B. They feel they are worthy of it.
C. They are very sensitive to it.
D. They feel it is not true.
35. What we can learn from the passage is that shyness can _______.
A. be overcome with determination
B. help us to live up to our full development
C. enable us to understand ourselves better
D. have nothing to do with lack of self- respect\

“No man is an island〞 is a well-known line from John Donne’s Devotions
upon Emergent Occasions, written more than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him.
36 So we all need to have friends. For some of us, though making friends is not difficult, we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.

Here is the list of advice from his book:
★ Be friendly and polite.
Alway s greet with a smile. Begin with “excuse me〞or “would you please〞, when you want to ask somebody. 38
★ Go out of your way to be nice.
39 Making some soup for a sick neighbor may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbor feel a lot better.
★ Remember names.
They say that the sweetest music to a person’ ears is the sound of his or her own name.
