第二局部：阅读理解〔一共两节，满分是40分〕
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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm, in the winter especially, we wear quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital.
However, I soon discovered that one big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.
Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you tastes in culture or entertainment(娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising --- and , what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.
Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is , when you are in your teens(十几岁)or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.
21. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child ?
A. Staying on the farm.
B. Leaving home for the city.
C. Moving to the countryside.
D. Running away from the school.
22. Which of the following is true about the writer?
A. He lives in the city now.
B. He is in good health.
C. He prefers driving a car.
D. He is very old now.
23. In the passage, the writer tries to __________.
A. persuade the reader to live in the city
B. describe his life in the countryside
C. show an interest in the outside world
D. express his opinions about way of life
24. How is the passage mainly developed?
A. By inferring.
B. By listing examples.
C. By comparing.
D. By discussing.
B
Beliefs form a big part of our lives. Successful people have always believed that they can be and will be successful in their lives, such as Michael Phelps. Many of us have seen Michael Phelps win 8 gold medals in a single Olympic Games. That has created a history for himself. Many people have admired his success and the first reaction in their mind will be, “Wow, how I wish I could be like him!〞 Have you ever wondered what brought him success?
In fact, anyone can achieve what they have wanted to achieve. It is about beliefs. Everyone is a born winner. It is this belief that drives an individual to be successful in his or her own field. All successful individuals have strong beliefs and it is one of the bases for their success. If we start to believe in ourselves, the things that we can achieve will definitely give us a pleasant surprise.
Other than having a strong belief, it is the attitude that drives the individual to
create their own history. The devotion towards themselves and the drive must also be present. Imagine having a strong belief in oneself and having a poor attitude towards life. Then how
devotion and the desire to achieve his goals. If one has strong beliefs about the goals that he can achieve and he displays good attitudes towards them, it would be no surprise to anyone that he will be able to achieve his goals.
Start believing in yourself and you will achieve your goals and with the right positive attitude, you will definitely be able to create the miracle that you have always dreamt of.
25. Which of the following is the best summary of Paragraph2?
A. Good begun is half done.
B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. No pains, no gains.
D. God helps those who help themselves.
26. The underlined word comprises in Paragraph3 most probably means_______?
A. serve as
B. belongs to
C. stands for
D. consists of
27. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. attitudes can be learned from one’s parents
B. copying other’s behaviors is a good way to succeed
C. only strong beliefs can’t ensure you a promising future
D. attitudes can only be learned through one’s success
28. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Differences Between Beliefs and Attitudes
B. The Nature of Beliefs and Positive Attitudes
C. Relationship Between Beliefs and Attitudes
D. The Power of Beliefs and Positive Attitudes
C
The Future of Technology
William, a businessman, arrives in a foreign airport. He doesn’t show his passport. Instead, a machine in the wall reads the computer chip〔芯片〕in his arm. This contains information about him: his name, age, and I.D number. He exits the airport, and a car door opens when it “sees〞 him. The car takes him to his hotel. His room “knows〞 he has entered the building and it “reads〞 his body. He is cold, so the room becomes warmer. William then watches a business presentation on a video wall. When he takes a bath, the presentation “follows him and cont inues 〞on the bathroom wall. Finally, the room plays music to help him sleep. It turns off the music when it “sees〞 him sleeping.
William doesn’t exist, and none of this is real. But it might be soon. “In five to ten years, computing and communications ar e going to be free and everywhere, in your walls, in your car, on your body,〞 says Victor Zue, leader of Project Oxygen.
Project Oxygen has one big idea: to create better relationships between machines and people. The dream is that computer will learn to understand what people want.
So, what changes will there be at work? Firstly, the building will know where everyone is, all the time. You want to talk to someone? Type the person’s name on the nearest computer. It will show you a map of the building and exactly where this person is. You then call this person, who picks up the nearest telephone, also shown on the computer.
If he or she is busy with a client〔客户〕or in a meeting, the computer will tell you.
Is all this really possible? Visit the Siebel Center, Illinois and see for yourself: computers in the doors and walls, cameras everywhere, the technology of the future, but here today.

Both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries. 36 In general, women can expect to live six or seven years more than men. One reason for this is biological.
One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women. 37 Between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in fertility(生育才能). These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and blood flow. In fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart
attacks.

generally get sick less often and less seriously than men. The common cold i s a good example:
women, on average, get fewer colds than men.
39 Scientists are still not exactly sure how influence aging, but they believe that they do. Some
think that a woman’s body cells have a tendency to age more slowly than a man’s. Others think that a man’s body cells have a tendency to age more quickly. 40
A. However, women, on average, live longer.
B .The biological factor plays an important part.
C. Women are also helped by their female genes.
D. The female hormones also protect the body in another way.

F. Therefore, women are more healthy than men and can live a better life .
G. Hormones are chemicals which are produced by the body to control vario us body functions.

In much of Asia, 61 (especial) the so-called “rice bowl〞 cultures of China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, food is usually eaten with chopsticks.
Chopsticks are usually two long, thin pieces of wood or bamboo. They can also be made of plastic, animal bone or metal. Sometimes chopsticks are quite artistic. Truly elegant chopsticks might 62 (make) of gold and silver with Chinese characters. Skilled workers also combine various hardwoods and metal 63 (create) special designs.
The Chinese have used chopsticks for five thousand years. People probably cooked their food in large pots, 64 (use) twigs (树枝) to remove it. Over time, when the population grew, people began cutting food into small pieces 65 it would cook more quickly. Food in small pieces could be eaten easily with twigs which 66 (gradual) turned into chopsticks.
Some people think that the great Chinese scholar Confucius, 67 lived from roughly 551 to 479 B.C., influenced the 68 (develop) of chopsticks. Confucius believed knives would remind people of killings and 69 (be) too violent to use at the table.
Chopsticks are not used everywhere in Asia. In India, for example, most people traditionally eat 70 their hands.

Patience is of great important in our daily life. Once I waited a bus to come at a stop.
30 minutes pasted, and no bus came. Both worried and annoying, I decided to walk on feet. But no sooner had I left when the bus arrived. I thought if I had waited for 2 more minute, I would have caught it. If I chose to take a next bus, I would have to wait for other 30 minutes. Only then did I realize my problem.
