第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)
第一节(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A
On June 10, at 8 pm, more than a hundred people were gathered in a tent in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They were there to play video games. But they wouldn’t be playing on any ordinary gaming system. Instead, they were prepared to play games that would be displayed on a glass skyscraper called the Cira Center.
“There was really a great energy in the tent that night,”Ainsley Soulchin, 13, said. She participated in Skyscraper Video Games for Kids. It is a programme that teaches middle school students to code (编程) video games.
In the programme, Ainsley coded a game. She calls the game Dot Man. In Dot Man, a player has to pass through a maze (迷宫) without getting caught by a dot. On June 10, the public got to play Dot Man and other student-made video games on the outside of the Cira Centre. Ainsley was proud
of her accomplishment. “When you see your game on the building,” she said, “you’re like ‘Wow, I made this.’”
Frank Lee founded Skyscraper Video Games for Kids. He’s a professor of digital media at Drexel University, in Philadelphia. He wanted to involve others in the joy of playing video games. So he found a way to make that happen.
“Years ago, I was driving past the Cira Centre,” Lee said. “I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool to make a game out of that building?’”He noticed there were LED lights fixed between the skyscraper’s floors. Lee knew if he could access the building’s computer system, he could control the LED lights. This would allow him to display video games on the skyscraper. People could play these games using a joystick (游戏杆). The joystick would be connected to a computer outside the building. And the computer would send wireless commands to the skyscraper’s internal system.
Now Lee shares his passion for game design with kids. With funding from Intel, he trains educators to create video games. The educators then teach their students those same skills.
21. What was special about the video games?
A. They would be played in a tent.
B. They would be played by over 100 people.
C. They would be played by children.
D. They would be displayed on a skyscraper.
22. Which of the following best describes the participants in the tent?
A. Enthusiastic.
B. Exhausted.
C. Relaxed.
D. Stressed.
23. What inspired Frank Lee to found Skyscraper Video Games for Kids?
A. The skyscraper’s floors.
B. The ads on the skyscraper.
C. The LED lights on the skyscraper.
D. The skyscraper’s computer system.
24. Where is the text most likely from?
A. A guidebook.
B. A website.
C. A fiction.
D. A diary.
B
I.M. Pei, the Chinese-American, who was regarded as one of the last great modernist architects, has died at the age of 102.
Although he worked mostly in the United States, Pei will always be remembered for a European project: His redevelopment of the Louvre Museum in Paris in the 1980s. He gave us the glass and metal pyramid in the main courtyard, along with three smaller pyramids and a vast subterranean (地下的) addition to the museum entrance.
Pei was the first foreign architect to work on the Louvre in its long history, and initially his designs were fiercely opposed. But in the end, the French — and everyone else — were won over.
Winning the fifth Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1983, he was thought as giving the 20th century “some of its most beautiful inside spaces a nd outside forms. His talent and skill in the use of materials approach the level of poetry.”
After studying architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard, Pei set up his own architectural practice in New York in 1955.
Designing the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum in 1964 established him as a name. His East Building of the National Gallery of Art in Washington in 1978 changed people’s ideas of a museum. The site was an odd trapezoid (梯形) shape. Pei’s solution w as to cut it in two. The resulting building was dramatic, light and elegant —one of the first crowd-pleasing cathedrals of modern art.
Though known as a modernist, and notable for his forms based on arrangements of simple geometric (几何的) shapes, he once urged Chinese architects to look more to their architectural tradition rather than designing in a western style.
In person, I.M. Pei was good-humored, charming and unusually modest. His working process was evolutionary, but innovation (创新) was never an intended goal.
“Stylistic originality is not my purpose,” he said. “I want to find the originality in the time, the place and the problem.”
25. What can we learn about the result of redevelopment of the Louvre Museum?
A. It was criticized by the French.
B. It turned out to be a success.
C. It made the Louvre Museum look strange.
D. It changed the function of the Louvre Museum.
26.What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. He is a master in applying materials.
B. He is skilled in writing poems.
C. He often combines poetry and construction.
D. He gets inspiration from poetry in designing.
27. What’s the correct order of the following events?
a. Design the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum.
b. Study architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard.
c. Design the National Gallery of Art.
d. Win the fifth Pritzker Architecture Priz
e.
A. abcd
B. bacd
C. bcad
D. dacd
C
Being bored, lazy and disconnected from physical work leaves lots of time and space for your body and mind to fill with negative substitutes. Just as an old saying goes, idle hands are the devil’s playground.
Neuroscience (神经科学) actually supports this theory. Or at least, research shows that the opposite is true − active hands stimulate your brain to produce chemicals that balance emotions and lower anxiety.
In the 19th century anxious women were often given the prescription to knit (编织) because doctors sensed that it kind of calmed them down. That is not to say that anxiety can be cured by knitting. But it does highlight how repetitive hand movements involved in the craft combine with the satisfaction of casting off a finished product to wear or give. It carries mental health benefits at a deep, biochemical level.
Other research has focused on knitting’s emotional benefits. One study showed that knitting lowers the heart rate by 11 beats per minute. Another linked knitting with a decreased chance of developing cognitive impairment (认知障碍) and memory loss.
And still others point to positive benefits in managing chronic (慢性的) pain and depression. Of course, knitting is not the only way to take your emotional well-being into your own hands. Woodworking, gardening, pottery and painting will also benefit your mental health. And they all involve putting your two hands to work.
What do you do with your hands to keep them busy and keep yourself calm and happy?
28. What does the underlined word “idle” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Inactive.
B. Occupied.
C. Flexible.
D. Awkward.
29. Why did doctors in the 19th century advise anxious women to knit?
A. To satisfy their need.
B. To reduce their anxiety.
C. To help them make money. C. To equip them with a new skill.
30. Which of the following best expresses the key point of the text?
A. The advantages of active hands.
B. The effects of repetitive knitting.
C. The reliability of the scientific research.
D. The benefits of keeping positive.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

“Cash is king” is an age-old saying. 31 When in Berlin, do not count on getting around easily with just a credit card. “Cash only” signs hang on front doors of shops and restaurants across the city.
32 After all, Germany is Europe’s leading economy and famous technological know-how. But, even while some of its neighbors in Europe and elsewhere are quickly swapping physical money for new pay technologies, many Germans prefer their euro bills. Cash is quick and easy to use, they argue. It provides a clear picture of personal spending, keeps transactions (交易) more private and is widely accepted in the country.
A study by the country’s central bank said Germans carried an average of 107 euros in their wallet. 33 Three-quarters of Americans in a U.S. bank survey said they carried less than $50, and one-quarter said they kept $10 or less in their wallet.
34 In 2008, for the first time, Germans used plastics for payments more than bills. According to a report, in Cologne, 48.6% of sales took place with a debit or a credit card, compared with 48.3% in cash.
Still, Germany has one of the highest rates of cash use in the European Union. The most important reasons for the close relationship of Germans to cash are their needs for protection of personal data, security and confidentiality (保密) of payments. 35 But the average German’s need for security will be sure to slow the process.
A. This may be surprising to some.
B. It’s far more than what Americans carry.
C. Change may happen in future generations.
D. Germany is not the only country that prefers cash.
E. For much of Germany, however, is still up to date.
F. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never heard of the saying.
G. That’s not to say that Germans rule out other modern payment methods.

I had driven home to celebrate my 38th birthday with my mother. When I arrived, I found her
36 proudly at the kitchen table, a chocolate cake and two boxes wrapped in orange ribbon (丝带) in front of her. “Happy birthday!” she said, 37 at the boxes. “Open them.”

My house is her world now. My mother and I have the 54 conversation roughly 10 times
a day. 55 , I consider it a pleasure, because every minute is new for her.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Early in the morning I went to the ocean beach to play my guitar. The usually crowded beach was deserted except for two people. On one side of the boardwalk (木板人行道) was a woman who was cleaning the beach with a broom; on the other side was a lone figure sitting and staring to sea. I chose a spot between them and began to play.
As I played, the woman with the broom swept her way right next to me. She stopped sweeping
and leaned on her broom, smiling at me. She appeared to be homeless with dirty mismatched clothes.
“You sure play beautiful music.” she said. “I think my friend would like you music. I want to hire you to play for her.” She pointed to the lone figure staring out at the ocean, then produced a few coins from her pocket. “I don’t have much, and I know you’re worth a lot, but if I give this to you, will you play a song for her? She’s going through a lot. I know the music will make her feel better.”
I told her I’d be happy to play for free.
As we walked over to her friend, the Broom Lady told me that her friend had not talked for weeks.We approached, and the Broom Lady introduced me, “Annie, I got you a present to cheer you up. It’s a guitar man who is going to play a song specially for you.”
Annie didn’t move. She was wearing dark sunglasses and had an old coat pulled up to cover most of her face.
I sat next to Annie and played. As I played I put every thought into having good things happen for this woman. I played for quite a while.
Suddenly, Annie turned toward me and said, “You make it so beautiful. I can feel it inside my heart.”
