第二部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，共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黑。

A
That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.
As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.
Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck (垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “ Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 A.M. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.

B
He was the baby with no name. Found and taken from the north Atlantic 6 days after the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, his tiny body so moved the salvage(救援) workers that they called him “our baby”. In their home port of Halifax, Nova Scotia, people collected money for a headstone in front of the baby’s grave, carved with the words: “To the memory of an unknown child”. He has rested there ever since.
But history has a way of uncovering its secrets. On Nov. 5 this year, three members of a family from Finland arrived at Halifax and laid fresh flowers at the grave. “This is our baby”, says Magda Schleifer, 68, a banker. She grew up hearing stories about a great-aunt named Maria Panula, 42, who had sailed on the Titanic for America to be reunited with her husband. According to the information Mrs. Schleifer had gathered, Panula gave up her seat on a lifeboat to search for her five children--including a 13-month-old boy named Eino from whom she had become separated during the final minutes of the crossing. “We thought they were all lost in the sea,” says Schleifer. Now, using teeth and bone pieces taken from the baby’s grave,scientists have compared the DNA from the Unknown Child with those collected from members of five families who lost relatives on the Titanic and never recovered the bodies. The result of the test points only to one possible person: young Eino, now, the fa mily sees: no need for a new grave. “He belongs to the people of Halifax, says Schleifer. “They’ve taken care of him for 90 years.”

Women make better drivers than men for many reasons. Why is that, do you suppose? Wouldn’t you think that competing at who has better driving abilities is pointl ess? If you ask me, I’d like to say, men know that women are better drivers but do not have the courage to admit the truth-women are queens of the road.
Unlike men, women stop for directions when they have no idea as to where they are going. Women don’t dr ive around for hours heading in the wrong direction. Have you ever in a car with a man who is lost? He tells you to shut up when you begin to open your mouth. And every five minutes or so he takes a turn going forty-five miles per hour only to find out he’s made another wrong turn.
Speeding is what men do best on the road. Traffic is not a race. There is a reason why men get more speeding tickets than women. Not because we trick to get out of tickets but only because we don’t get pulled over as frequently. We don’t speed. We have more intelligence than senselessly to put our own lives as well as the lives of others in danger.
My largest issue with male drivers is how a majority of them drive with one hand on the wheel and the other hand doing only God knows what. The seat is backed as far as possible, and they’re totally lost into loud music beyond a necessary level. You don’t ever see women driving liked that.
I feel that the above evidence more than proves my points that women are not only better drivers but also safer drivers than men. We women rule the road. Oh , and men, if you want to
continue criticizing women for being bad drivers, bring it on. We know you lack confidence, or else you wouldn’t be wasting your valuable time making jokes about the ones y ou may choose to spend the rest of your days with.
62. If a woman driver feels lost, she will .
A. tell the man next to her to shut up
B. stop the car and ask people for help
C. take the wrong turns at a high speed
D. drive aimlessly for hours without stopping
63. In paragraph 3, the writer tries to tell us that .
A. women drivers have more responsibility for lives
B. men drivers are more confident and skillful in driving
C. women drivers often play tricks on the police in charge
D. men drivers usually have to be pulled over to the roadsides
64. According to the passage, what the writer worries most about men drivers?
A. not paying full attention
B. making jokes about women
C. not stopping for directions
D. getting more speeding tickets
65. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

As you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experience a lot of changes. The changes may seem difficult. 66 Don’t panic! You will deal successfully with them! You are a young adult now!
With more responsibility, you will find more freedom to make your own choices. This is a time to be well informed about making choices. In this way you can make healthy balanced decisions.
67 You may already know your career path or you may have no idea at all what you want to do. Both situations are fine! Work hard and the right opportunity will present itself to you.
Young adulthood means greater freedom and more choices. 68 But try not to shut your family out of your life. You should learn to think of others even though you are old enough to look after yourself.
It is also perfectly natural at this time for you to spend more time with your friends than your family 69 A true friend will stand by you no matter what happens.
This period is a part of the life cycle. These are some people who will be with you throughout life’s journey. There will be some people with whom you part and go separate ways. Leaving school can be hard. The reality is that you may not even see all of your classmates again.
You are a young adult. It is your life. No one can live it for you. 70 So making the right choices will be important to you. Life is for living. Enjoy your life wisely!
A. Choose your friends wisely.
B. They will help shape the future.

The students of Class 3 had a discussion about if it is necessary learn English from childhood. Some think it necessary. As a little boys and girls have a very good memory, they can learn many English words by hearts. Which will help them lay a solid foundation for their future English learning. But others do not agree. Children have to learn Chinese Pinyin. If they study Chinese Pinyin or English at the same time, it will be very easily for them to mix them up. This would do a lot of harm with their learning. In short, the students have not reached any agreement still.
