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）I will never forget the days when I met with my classmates. Early in the morning of our first school day, our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know yet. I stood up look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned round to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.
She said, “Hi handsome. My name is Rose. Can I give you a hug?”
I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.
“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked.
She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids…”
“No seriously,” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.
After class we shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized（迷住）listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us.
“There is only one secret to staying young. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking round who are dead and don’t even know it! There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent of ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly
usually don’t have regrets for wha t we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”
She concluded her speech by courageously singing The Rose. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.
1、Why did the lady want to hug the author?
A．Because she wanted to challenge her professor.
B．Because she wanted to break the ice.
C．Because she wanted to find a rich husband.
D．Because she wanted to have a college education.
2、Which of the following statements agrees with the text best?
A．The author enjoyed his experience of riding in the “time machine”.
B．The author and the lady soon became close friends.
C．Talented people can easily find opportunities.
D．Old people usually don’t fear death.
3、It can be inferred that Rose is ________.
A．a lively college student B．the author’s girlfriend
C．a young and innocent lady D．an encouraging song
4、What is the life lesson the author learned from his experience?
A．An idle youth, a needy age.
B．Learn wherever you are.
C．A faithful friend is hard to find.
D．A man is not old until regrets to take the place of dreams.
22．（8分）Haad Farang (Haad Sai Yao),KohMuk
This small but striking bay in Thailand has waters free from riptides（激
流）,making it safe for families to play water in the sun.As its nickname implies—Farang is Thai for foreigners—you'll find a large concentration of backpackers here.Still,with only a couple of simple food shops,it's a far cry from the noises of Chaweng beach on Koh Samui or Kamala on Phuket,which makes it to be one of the top tourist destinations.
Rent a sea kayak（皮划艇）(100 baht,which is around￡2 an hour) and go around the comer to Tham Morakot (the Emerald Cave),a winding cave that opens up to a.bay walled by thick leaves and often visited by groups of monkeys.It is very inspiring,but to
fully appreciate it,be sure to prepare a light to avoid knocking into cave walls and other kayaks.To avoid being crowded,make the trip in the late afternoon.
Where to eat
The Ko Yao Viewpoint Hotel is the best place for tourists.Drink the sweet cocktails in favour of an icy Chang beer and sit in the last rays of the day.
Where to stay
Cheaper hotels of comparable quality are set slightly back in the forest,but if you want beachfront access it's worth choosing one of the basic hotels at Koh Mook Charlie Beach Resort (bungalows from￡32).
Getting there
Fly from Bangkok to Trang with Air Asia (from￡30),then take a one-hour Tigerline ship from Hat Yao Pier (￡19).Besides,a five-hour ship from Phuket at Rassada Pier(￡41) goes directly to the island and will drop passengers at Haad Farang.
For more information and service,please click here.
1、What is most likely to attract many people to Haad Farang?

C．Its simple food shops. D．Its quiet environment.
2、What can we infer about the Tham Morakot?

3、Which of the following is the advantage of the hotels back in the forest?

4、Where is the text most probably taken from?
A．Travel magazines. B．Newspapers.
C．Internet. D．Travel Agency notes.
23．（8分）Watching what you eat can be easier said than done, but a recent study shows it might not just be about what's on your plate — it could be about how quickly it disappears.
Japanese researchers followed 1,083 adults for five years, splitting them into three
categories based on how quickly they ate: slow, normal, and fast. They also answered a questionnaire at the beginning of the study, sharing their diet, physical activity, and medical history. In the beginning, none of the volunteers had metabolic syndrome (新陈代谢综合征) - meaning at least three risk factors — which can lead to health problems like heart conditions and diabetes.
When the participants reported back five years later, 84 had been diagnosed (诊断) with metabolic syndrome — and their eating speed was a major predictor, according to the results in the journal Circulation. The fast eaters were 89 percent more likely to have metabolic syndrome than slow and normal eaters. Just 2.3 percent of slow eaters received the diagnosis, compared to 11.6 percent of fast eaters. But that's not all. Fast eaters also saw more weight gain, larger waistlines, and higher blood sugar levels than slow eaters.
The researchers say gobbling makes it easier not to take notice of fullness before your body has a chance to signal yo u to stop. “So when people eat fast they are more likely to overeat,” said Takayuki Yamaji, MD, study author and cardiologist at Hiroshima University in Japan in a statement.
Previous research backs up the weight benefits of slow eating, too. One study of New Zealand women found fast eaters have higher body-mass indexes (指数), and a Chinese study found that both healthy and fat men ate less when told to chew 40 times instead of 15 times before swallowing. Initial research even suggests chewing your food longer could bum more calories - up to about 1,000 extra every month.
1、What are the participants divided by?
A．Medical history. B．Health condition.
C．Physical activity. D．Eating speed.
2、Which may be the result of the study?
A．Fast eaters are 4 times more likely to have metabolic syndrome.
B．Normal and slow eaters don’t have metabolic illness.
C．89% of fast eaters have higher blood pressure.
D．Slow caters are healthier than fast eaters.
3、What does the underlined word “gobbling” in Paragraph 4 best mean?
A．Tasting slowly. B．Digesting quickly.
C．Eating greedily. D．Cooking carefully.
4、What does the last paragraph tell us?
A．The importance of eating speed. B．The advantage of eating slowly.
C．The result of a Chinese study. D．Fast eating and overeating.
24．（8分）My Favourite Travel Books
The Old Patagonian Express by Paul Theroux
Choosing my favorite Paul Theroux book is like picking my favorite place in the world: It’s impossible to settle on just one. But The Old Patagonian Express, which is about a train journey Theroux made from Boston, USA to southern Argentina, is right up there at the top of my list. Theroux has a wicked sense of humor. He brings so much wisdom and experience to his travels.
Walden by Henry David Thoreau
If he were alive today, Thoreau would probably frown if he heard someone refer to Walden as a travel book. But I regard it as a travel-writing masterpiece. “I went into the woods,” he writes, “because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.” That’s the same spirit of discovery that defines so many great contemporary travel records.
The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac
Like so many people, I f ell in love with Kerouac’s novels in my late teens and early 20s. On the Road gets all the press, but I always love The Dharma Bums. Kerouac beautifully captures the romance of California trains, Berkeley, and backpacking in the Sierras. It’s hard to read this book without wanting to leave for the mountains to brainstorm bad haikus on the trail and cook canned macaroni and cheese over a crackling campfire.
Confucius Lives Next Door by T.R. Reid
This is sort of A Y ear in Provence in Japan, only the cross-cultural differences are much greater. Reid and his family moved to Tokyo when he became the chief for The Washington Post, enabling him to uncover truths about the country. Among the highlights are his observations about Japanese schools, including Yodobashi No. 6 Elementary School, where his daughters were greeted by the whole school staff.
1、Which book enables readers to experience great cross-cultural differences?
A．The Old Patagonian Express B．Confucius Lives Next Door
C．On the Road D．Walden
2、What will people feel after reading Jack Kerouac’s The Dharma Bums?
A．A strong desire to follow B．A love for novels
C．A wish to learn cooking D．An excitement to write poems
3、Which writer based his book on a train journey from home to abroad?
A．T.R. Reid B．Henry David Thoreau
C．Paul Theroux D．Jack Kerouac
25．（10分）Lakshmi grew up in India in the first half of the twentieth century, seeing many people around her who did not get enough food, were often sick and died young.
In the 1960s, was asked to help manage a program to improve nutrition in her country. At that time, most advice on nutrition came from North American and European countries. Nutritionists suggested foods that were common and worked well for people who lived in these nations.
For example, they told poor Indian women to eat more meal and eggs and drink more orange juice. But Lakshmi knew this advice was useless in a country like India. People there didn’t eat such foods. They weren’t easy to find. And for the poor, such foods were too expensive.
Lakshmi knew that for the program to work, it had to fit Indian culture. So she decided to adjust the nutrition program. She first found out what healthy middle-class people in India ate. She took note of the nutrients (营养物）available in those foods. Then she looked for cheap, easy-to-find foods that would provide the same nutrients.
She created a balanced diet of locally grown fruits, vegetables, and grains. These foods were cheap and could be cooked with simple equipment. Her ideas were thought unusual in the 1960s. For example, she insisted that a diet without meal could provide all major nutrients. Now we know she was right. But it took her continuous efforts to get others to finally accept her diet about 50 years ago. Because of Lakshmi’s program, Indian children almost doubled their food intake. And many children who would have been hungry and ill grew healthy and strong.
1、Why did Lakshmi think European nutritionists’ advice was useless?
A．It worked well for European people.
B．It suggested too many foods for Indians.
C．It was not practical in India at that time.
D．It included foods that didn’t exist in India.
2、Lakshmi studied healthy middle-class people’s diet in order to .
A．know about their eating habits B．learn about Indian culture
C．find out nutrients in their food D．write a report on food nutrients
3、Lakshmi’s balanced diet was considered unusual because people thought . A．those foods were too cheap B．it should include some meat
C．it provided all major nutrients D．it enabled kids to grow healthy
4、What can we infer about Lakshmi?
A．She came from a rich family.
B．She disliked middle-class people.
C．She worked with European nutritionists.
D．She was a determined scientist.

29、Dear Xiaodong,
How are you doing these days? It has been a month since we last met. I am now writing to share with you what my new school life is like.
Our school begins on September 1st. Life here is much busier than it used to be and I have to adapt myself to the new school life as soon as possible. With so much homework to do every day, I have to keep focused in class and make full use of time to study so that I can catch up with others.
To my relief/ joy, I can get on well with my classmates and I have already made several friends, who help me a lot when I am in trouble.
Interestingly, we have lots of extracurricular activities after class. Last Thursday, we had a basketball match against class 2 and we won the game.
All in all, I am living a happy life and I enjoy myself in my new school and what about yours?
Yours,
Li Hua。
