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）We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively. We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.
We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. Conditioned as we are to passive learning, it’s not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and
co-workers.
Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay(传闻) and rumor.
Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn’t show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared. Typically, the original message has changed.
That’s what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know.
This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be restated as fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.
1、According to the passage, active learning may occur in ________.
A．reading scientific journals
B．listening to the teacher in class
C．doing a chemical experiment
D．watching news programmes on TV
2、What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Classroom. B．Newspapers.
C．Active learning. D．Passive learning.
3、The game Rumor is mentioned in Paragraph 4 in order to tell readers that ________. A．playing games can make people more active
B．people tend to like telling lies when playing games
C．a message may be changed when being passed on
D．people may have problems with their sense of hearing
4、What can be inferred from the text?
A．Scholars and authors can’t be trusted.
B．Passive learning may not be reliable.
C．People like spreading rumors in daily life.
D．Active learning is more Important than passive learning.

23．（8分）Teary-Eyed Stories from Strangers
The Man at the Market
When the supermarket clerk summed up my groceries, it was $12 over what I had on me. I began to remove items from the bags, when another shopper handed me a $20
bill. “Please don’t put yourself out,” I told him.
“Let me tell you a story,” he said. “My mother is in hospital with cancer. I v isit her every day and bring her flowers. I went this morning, and she got mad at me for spending my money on more flowers. She demanded that I do something else with that money. So, here, please accept this. It is my mother’s flowers.”
A Family’s Food Ang el
Since my mother lost her job, our family troubled new worries: no income, the same bills, and no way to afford groceries. It was around this time that she started finding boxes of food outside our door every morning. This went on for months, until she was able to land a job. We never did find out who it was and who left the groceries for us, but they truly saved our lives.
Seven Miles For Me
Leaving a store, I returned to my car only to find that I’d locked my keys and cell phone inside. A teenager riding his bike saw me kick a tire and say a few choice words. “What’s wrong?” he asked.
I explained my situation. “But even if I could call my wife,” I said, “she can’t bring me her car key, since this is our only car.” He handed me his cell phone. “Call your wife and tell her I’m coming to get her key.”
“That’s seven miles round trip.”
“Don’t worry about it.”
An hour later, he returned with the key. I offered him some money, but he refused. “Let’s just say I needed the exercise,” he said. Then, like a cowboy in the movies, he rode off into the sunset.
Breaking Bread
Last December, before work, I stopped at a deli (熟食店) and ordered an everything bagel with cream cheese. It was toasty warm, and I couldn’t wait to dig in. But as I left the store, I noticed an older indigent gentleman sitting at the bus stop. Knowing it would probably be his only warm meal of the day, I gave him the bagel.
But all was not lost for me. Another customer from the deli offered me half of her bagel. I was so delighted because I realized that in one way or another, we are all looked after.
1、To story 1, why did “The Man at the Market” hand “me” a $20 bill?
A．He was a millionaire and wanted to show off before me.
B．He thought I was extremely poor and lacked money.
C．He tried to do something good for his kind mother.
D．He expected me to share the groceries with him.
2、In story 3, by saying “Let’s just say I needed the exercise”, the boy means that
________.
A．he enjoyed riding in the sunset freely
B．he thought it easy to ride seven miles
C．he thought it a good way to do exercise
D．he wanted to refuse the money
3、In which story did the teller himself or herself offer to help others?
A．Seven Miles For Me
B．The Man at the Market
C．A Family’s Food Angel
D．Breaking Bread
4、What can we infer about the strangers mentioned in the stories?
A．They are the kind and warm people around us.
B．They are the common guys having nothing to do with.
C．They are the highly-educated people with wealth.
D．They are the simple and mindless ones hanging around.
24．（8分）The philosopher Robert Nozick used the idea of an “experience machine” to refute the view that good experiences are all we want from life. He thought that most of us would not choose the machine and prefer reality. “But why?” he encouraged us to ask.
There was no such thing as virtual（虚拟的）reality (VR) when he was writing. But now we can give ourselves computer generated experiences that are like the real thing. The question raised by Nozick has become a real issue. Why should you prefer the trouble and expense of actually visiting Angkor Wat or Niagara Falls when you can get all the experiences of being there by putting on goggles and a body suit?
One answer is that the emotions you feel when you have a virtual experience are not as valuable. When you actually see Niagara Falls, you feel awe and even fear in the face of an overpowering force of nature. Being in the presence of something that causes
you these feelings is part of the pleasure.
Visiting a virtual Niagara Falls may also cause you feelings of awe and fear but they are cheapened by your knowledge that the danger is not real and that your mind is being tricked into thinking that it is.
Reality also holds a potential for making discoveries that virtual reality lacks. Those who visit Angkor Wat hope to see more than they expected from tourist information, perhaps even discover what have been missed. Computer simulations（模拟）, however good, contain only what have been put into them.
There is a further reason for preferring a real experience. Real experiences connect us to the deeds of past people and place us in contexts where history was made. Viewing an actual paining by Rembrandt is a more valuable experience than viewing a copy, however good. The genuine painting was the work of the man himself. We see his brush strokes on the canvas. We are in the presence of genius.
Virtual reality can take us to places we can never go. It can be exciting, amusing and a good way of spending leisure time. But it will be a substitute for connections with the real thing.
1、What does the underlined word “refute” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．Contradict. B．Express.
C．Prove. D．Correct.
2、What does the author think of virtual reality?
A．It can benefit people in certain aspects.
B．It will be smart enough to satisfy our needs.
C．It cannot cause feeling of fear or happiness.
D．It cannot help us understand what has happened.
3、Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．What VR Cannot Offer.
B．How VR Change Our Life.
C．How VR Is Different from Reality.
D．Why VR Cannot Match the Real Thing.
25．（10分）Why does time seem to fly by faster as we get old? You've got your aging brain to blame. This is likely due largely to the physical changes of our nerves and neurons(神经元). New research suggests ‘rapid fire’ abilities of the young brain allow us
to process more information during youth, causing the days to seem longer earlier in life. However, as we get old, researchers say the older brain takes more time to process information.
The new finding put forward by a Duke University researcher was published in a paper in the journal European Review this week According to Adrian Bejan, the J. A Jones Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Duke, the physical changes of our nerves and neurons play, a major role in our perception(知觉) of time as we get old. Over the years these structures become more complex and eventually begin to degrade.
"Little babies, for example, move their eyes much more often than adults because they’re processing images at a faster rate, "Beian says, For older pe ople, this means fewer images are being processed in the same amount of time, causing experiences to seem as though they’re happening more quickly.
1、What causes time to fly faster as we get old?
A．Changes of our nerves and neurons. B．Information in our brain .
C．The electrical signals. D．Rapid fire abilities.
2、What is unavoidable in the process of getting old?
A．Longer days. B．Aging brains.
C．More images. D．Less experience.
3、Why do the days seem longer earlier in life?
A．Young people are more energetic in their life.
B．The younger brain takes less time to process information
C．Old people have fewer things to do than young people.
D．Little babies move their eyes much more often.
4、What is the best title of the text?
A．Nerves and Neurons B．Time Flies Fast
C．The Older, the Faster D．The Function of the Brain

29、Dear Jim,
I’m delighted to hear from you. Now，I’d like to share my study tips with you.
First, you’d better communicate with your teachers often. In this way, they may offer some great advice on both your study and life. Second, why not make yourself active in each class, listen to the teacher attentively and take notes carefully so that you can review later? Third, it s a good idea to do your homework on time soon after school, which will help you practice what you have learned and make it fresh in your mind.
I sincerely hope my advice can be helpful to you and that you can enjoy your new school life. Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua。
