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）American families are accustomed to settling in faraway places, which has been a national phenomenon. Decades of data, including a more recent Gallup study, characterizes the US as one of the most geographically mobile countries in the world. “About one in four US adults(24 percent) has reported moving within the country in the past five years.” the reported noted. With the exception of Finns(23 percent) and Norwegians(22 percent), Americans move considerably more than their European peers.
Though some may move for love or family, the major reason why Americans choose to move around is, unsurprisingly, related to work. Citing data from the Current Population Survey, a post on the blog of the New York Fed noted that between 58 and 2013, “slightly more than half of interstate(州际的) migrants said they moved for employment-related reasons—a category that includes moves undertaken for new jobs, job transfers, and easier commutes(通勤).”
The seeking of opportunity, particularly for an immigrant nation, is a national mythology(神话) as well as an emotional attachment to work. A new working paper analyzed by Ben Steverman at Bloomberg suggests that workers in the US now “put in almost 25 percent more hours than Europeans” in a given year. This figu re has steadily risen since the 30s, when the hours logged by workers in Western Europe and the US were roughly the same.
There are, of course, some internal factors. The US is much vaster than most European countries, plus it boasts(拥有) a common language. It is considered to be a sign of an efficient labor market that US workers can be persuaded to move to regions where there is a steady growth in jobs, such as the Sun Belt in recent years. And while American workers often have fewer labor protections than their European counterparts, as a report by the World Bank noted in 2012, American “labor laws give employers the power to fire, hire, or relocate(重新安置) workers according to their needs”，a flexibility that is thought to aid economic growth. The World Band report added that the occupation of the average US employee in 66 was 4 years, compared to 10 years in the European Union.
Nevertheless, while Americans remain excessively mobile, FaithKarahan and Darious Li at the New Y ork Fed are the latest to note that US workers are moving around less than before. During the 40s, 3 percent of working-age Americans relocated to a different state each year; that figure had been cut in half by 2010. “While part of the decline can be attributed to the Great Recession，” th e authors suggest,
“this__phenomenon took place over the course of several decades and is not necessarily related to the economic conditions.”
So what accounts for this phenomenon? A round-up of theories by Brad Plumer at The Washington Post included the aging of the US workforce, the further rise of
two-income households, the burdens of real estate, evolving workplace culture, as well as the flat line of wages, which makes moving away for a job, on average, a less rewarding financial proposition.
Karahan and Li put much stock in the effects of an aging workforce, to which they attribute at least half of the decline in interstate migration. “In short, a young individual today is moving less than a young person did in the 40s because of the higher presence of older workers，” they write, suggesting that employers have shifted their employment tactics(策略) to adapt to the changing demographics(人口统计数据) of the workforce. Needless to say, movies about this era in American life, in which fewer people set out to start lives in wide-ranging places, will probably be much less exciting.
1、According to the passage, in the past five years, Americans have moved ________. A．relatively less than the British B．less frequently than Italians C．slightly more than Norwegians D．considerably more than Finns
2、What can we infer from Paragraphs 2 and 3?
A．Americans choose to move mainly for work and family.
B．Americans have a very strong interest in work.
C．Americans invested more time in work than Europeans in 35.
D．Americans tended to move to Europe between 58 and 2013.
3、Which of the following is NOT the reason why American workers move more than their European peers?
A．There is a common language in the US.
B．The US is much vaster than most European countries.
C．American labor laws give employers more freedom to deal with them.
D．They are offered more efficient labor protections.
4、The underlined part “this phenomenon” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________.
A．the Great Recession
B．the decline of working-age Americans' interstate migration
C．the reduction in the number of working-age Americans
D．Americans' tendency to remain mobile
5、How do American employers deal with the aging workforce according to the passage? A．By sticking to their previous policies. B．By adjusting to it.
C．By improving their employees' job skills. D．By raising employment standard.
6、As to the current situation of Americans migration, the author might feel ________. A．curious B．strange C．confused D．disappointed （8分）Zulema Munoz collects seaweed in a small coastal town 100 miles south of 22．
Santiago, Chile. A good week may see her cut 1,100 pounds of seaweed from the rocks where it grows.
Muftoz is one of the 30, 000 people for whom Chilean seaweed industry provides a livelihood. Throughout Latin America, the cultivation (种植) and collection of seaweed are gaining a support both as a source of food and as a means of ensuring food security in a region where 34 million people are food insecure and poverty affects 47 percent of the rural population. Countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela have all explored seaweed production for food. Yet as demand outpaces production and wild stocks have declined，more attention is being paid to sustainable cultivation and harvesting methods that can keep the industry surviving.
Seaweed has a long history in South American style of cooking. The native cooking of Chile made frequent use of cochayuyo, the most abundant of the country 750 types of seaweed. Today, cochayuyo is commonly found in place of meat incharquican, a
traditional dish cooked slowly in a closed pan.
Kelp, a type of large brown seaweed, as the new vegetable is a global trend too, and for good reason. Nutritionally, seaweed is packed with iodine and other nutrients, and appears on trend-making menus in Google's New York cafeteria, though it used to be thought difficult to get people to eat it.
While 83 percent of cultivated sea vegetables are produced for human consumption, we aren’t just eating it. Seaweed is used in fertilizers an d animal feed, and
seaweed-based food additives are likely in many products in your kitchen and bathroom right now. Carrageenan, made from red seaweed, is in everything from shampoo and toothpaste to ice cream and some hot dogs.
While seaweed grows readily—there are concerns that humans are taking too much of the wild stuff. It is possible that overexploitation of natural seaweed resources could lead to significant ecological, economic, and social consequences at local, regional, and even global scales. In Latin American countries like Brazil and Peru, where the seaweed industry is based on harvesting wild seaweed rather than cultivated, the need for environmentally friendly models is urgent.
1、What do you know about seaweed?
A．It is hard to grow. B．It is good to health.
C．It tastes delicious. D．It costs a great deal.
2、What can we learn from the passage?
A．How people collect weed. B．What people do with seaweed.
C．How people cook with seaweed. D．Where people trade seaweed.
3、Why is seaweed cultivated according to the passage?
A．To make the best of the seas and to increase the export of seaweed.
B．To help more people out of poverty and to open up its new markets.
C．To meet the needs of the market and to preserve the wild resources.
D．To cut the costs of seaweed industry and to benefit rural population.
23．（8分）Sports can help us a lot. Taking exercises can make us strong. In collective(集体的) sports like basketball, volleyball or football, we will learn the importance of cooperation(合作). And sports can also help us relax after work or study.
However, as the saying goes, “there are two sides of everything.” Sometimes we may hurt other players or ourselves if we are not careful enough when participating(参加) in sports activities. What’s more, too much or hard practice can be bad for our health.
Sports can make us healthy both physically and psychologically(心理地). It is also a good way for people to know each other and can improve friendship between people. So
long as we are careful enough, sports can do us nothing but good.
1、can make us strong.
A．Sleeping B．Singing
C．Making friends D．Taking exercise
2、Too much exercise can be for us.
A．good B．enough
C．bad D．helpful
3、Sports can .

C．Sometimes we may hurt other players or ourselves when participating in sports activities.
D．Basketball and volleyball are both collective sports.
24．（8分）We have some friends who seem as if they understand and appreciate you, but really they might not. A girl named Nevaeh was about to find a friend that she thought understood her, but she actually didn't.
When Nevaeh was in kindergarten she didn't have friends. Every time she wanted to make some they would just walk away. That happened until she went to the third grade when a girl named Brooke said hello to her.
Nevaeh, a shy girl, didn’t answer. Since Nevaeh had no friends to talk to, her mouth would close up. After knowing Nevaeh was shy and needed friends, Brooke wouldn't leave Nevaeh s side and always talked to her. Nevaeh started talking more and was less shy. Once Brooke took her to her friends. There were only three girls, Karla, Mariana, and Isela, but Nevaeh was fine with it. At least she had friends.
They got along very well and had a few things in common. When they were finally in middle school, Brooke and Nevaeh became best friends, but as they got older, they changed. When Nevaeh changed the way she looked and acted, Brooke didn't like it. Brooke startled to judge her, and make her wear stuff that she didn’t like. They had arguments about the wav Nevaeh wanted to look, and how Brooke didn't like what she
wore.
Nevaeh wasn’t sure if she could really trust Brooke anymore. That was until she met Susan who understo od Nevaeh and didn’t judge her by her looks, but had the same interests as Nevaeh. They liked to dress in the same kinds of things and had similar hobbies.
Nevaeh really liked Susan because she never judged her. When they were talking about their interests it was like they had known each other for a long lime.
Nevaeh was still friends with the other girls, and was happy that she finally had someone that understood her and appreciated her.
1、What does the underlined word "she” in the first paragraph refer to? A．Susan. B．Karla.
C．Brooke. D．Nevaeh.

3、How did Nevaeh react to Brooke's judgment on her?
A．She rejected it. B．She tolerated it.
C．She corrected it. D．She appreciated it.
4、What was Susan like according to the text?
A．Brave and helpful. B．Smart and humorous.
C．Sincere and supportive. D．Clever and hard-working.
25．（10分）Measles(麻疹) is only found in human beings. There is a highly effective and safe vaccine(疫苗) for the disease. So, in theory, measles could be destroyed.
Yet the number of measles cases is on the rise.
The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that, in the first three months of 3, the number of cases is three times higher than it was last year. Africa alone has had a 700 percent increase compared to last year.
The Democratic Republic of Congo reported 67,000 measles cases and 901 measles-related deaths in 38. This year, WHO officials have noted more than 40,000 suspected measles cases in the country. That number includes 284 measles-related deaths in the first weeks of 3. Between September 38 and February 3, Madagascar reported over 67,000 measles cases, including 828 deaths.
Dr. Fauci, who directs the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease in the USA, said that―one in 10 children who get infected with measles will get an ear infection that could cause deafness. One in 2 would get pneumonia. One in a thousand would get brain swelling, and one to three per thousand would die. To say that measles is a slight disease is completely incorrect.
Walter Orenstein is with the Emory University Vaccine Center in Atlanta, Georgia. He has spent his life working to end measles. Orenstein says possible effects of the disease are worse in poor countries. ―In those countries children are already at greater risk. They may be malnourished(营养不良的). They may have damaged immune systems. They may be underweight and may have no access to health care so measles is a big killer, he said.
You have a 90 percent chance of getting measles if you have not been vaccinated and you come in contact with someone who has it. Dr. Rebecca Martin is the Director of the Center for Global Health at the
U.S. Centers for Disease Control. She is working to remove measles from Africa completely. ―It is very infectious. It will find nearly everybody who is not protected against measles, Martin said.
Health experts advise patients to get two treatments of the measles vaccine. U.S. health officials say educating parents about both the disease and the vaccine is an important step in stopping the spread. Equally important is making vaccination a top goal of health systems worldwide.
1、The writer shows the sharp increase in measles cases by .
A．giving examples B．listing figures
C．analyzing causes D．following time order
2、The following are the possible results of measles except .
A．an ear infection B．pneumonia
C．brain swelling D．being underweight
3、What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A．You are sure to get measles if you have not been vaccinated.
B．It is safe to come in contact with someone who has measles.
C．Parents should be educated about both the disease and the vaccine.
D．Making vaccination a goal of health systems is only necessary in Africa.
4、The purpose of the text is to .
A．show the serious situation of measles
B．prove measles could be destroyed
C．describe the result of the research on measles
D．warn us of the causes of measles

29、Dear Henry，
I’m writing to compare notes with you about our picnic this Friday . You know how I wish I could have a chance to go for a picnic with you, but it has been forecasted that rain and snow is really on the way in the coming days. So I’m afraid that we cannot ride a bike there as scheduled. Can we make it another day ? How about next weekend , when the temperature is a little higher?
By the way , the destination where we are going is located in the west of the city, which is covered by varieties of plants and we can appreciate the various flowers and even enjoy a barbecue there.
I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely
Li Hua。
