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）The 18-year-old Hope from Arlington, Virginia has a lot of reasons to be happy. Her high school graduation is just days away. She goes to Guatemala in the summer to work there with her church. Then, in the fall, she
will head to Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania.
But that is not why she is smiling right now. Tonight, in a beautiful long dress, with her hair perfectly curled, she is excited to be going to prom. A prom is a formal dance for high school students that’s usually at the end of the year.
Prom was born in the United States more than 100 years ago and has spread to other parts of the world. In America, it has become an industry similar to the wedding business. A study done by the American financial company, Visa, found that, on average, an American family spends more than 900 dollars on prom.
Much of it is spent on what the young adults wear to the formal dance. Gowns (礼服) often cost hundreds of dollars. And then there are costs linked to hair and makeup, flowers for prom dates, dinner and transportation.
It adds up. But some students find ways to make the event less expensive. “I borrowed my dress,” says Maggie Kinnett. Like Hope, Maggie is a senior at Yorktown High School in Arlington. She got her makeup done without cost by a professional who is a family friend.
Hope also cuts costs. She bought her dress online for far less than she would have paid in the stores. She also did her own hair. Besides, many girls choose to get ready for the prom with friends. They might get their hair done at a beauty shop together. They might hire a professional make-up artist for a few hours to share the costs.
Probably the least costly thing about prom is the ticket to the dance. Yorktown held its event at a hotel in Arlington. The tickets were $ 45.
1、What makes Hope cheerful at present?
A．The coming college life.
B．The ball of high school graduation.
C．Her attractive dress and curled hair.
D．Her coming high school graduation.
2、Why did Maggie ask a friend to do her makeup?
A．To save money.
B．To get the best effect.
C．To win a prize in the ball.
D．To compete with other students.
3、What did Hope do to save money for the ball?
A．She shared the cost of makeup with others.
B．She rented her dress online.
C．She did her hair by herself.
D．She got the ticket for free.
4、What can we learn from the text?
A．Renting gowns online for prom has become a trend.
B．Prom has become a heavy burden for most families.
C．The author is against prom due to the high cost.
D．Prom has grown as a rising economy as wedding business.
22．（8分）As Simon Kindleysides, 34, took his first step in the London Marathon in April, he felt as if magic was in the air.
"As we were walking toward the first mile, we actually started joining all the runners," he said. "Everyone was on the streets, cheering, and that was a magical moment." As time went on, the crowds and other racers spread around. Kindleysides and his team of eight supporters continued walking.
Kindleysides, who is paralyzed(瘫痪的)from the waist down and typically uses a wheelchair, was equipped with an exoskeleton(体外骨骼)to help him walk. His supporters walked with him to change the batteries in his exoskeleton so he could keep moving.
In 2013, Kindleysides was diagnosed with a brain tumor (肿瘤) that was growing in a way that pressed on certain nerves, leading to him losing feeling in his legs. He was told he would never walk again. Before his paralysis, the London-based singer and dancer had "always wanted to run a marathon," he said, but he never made the plan to do
so--until this year.
During the London Marathon, the last two miles were the hardest. "At that point, I was exhausted. It was freezing cold, and I was hurting emotionally," Kindleysides said. But he kept going. "I didn't want to let people down. I had a team of eight, and I was raising money for The Brain Tumour Charity," he said. "I didn't want to let them down, myself down, and I thought if I would get this far, I would have to continue."So he continued and made history as the first paralyzed man to complete the London Marathon on foot.
Then, recovering at home, he shared his accomplishment with his three children. "They used to say I'm the only dad in their whole school who's in a wheelchair, and now they say I'm their dad, the only one who has walked a marathon," he said.
Kindleysides is training to complete three more marathons next year, including the London Marathon again.
1、Why did Kindleysides' supporters accompany him all the way?
A．To inspire him as a team. B．To help change the batteries.
C．To guide him along the road. D．To assist him with the wheelchair.
2、What caused Kindleysides' disability?
A．An accident in the previous marathon.
B．An operation on his brain for the tumor.
C．Some nerves produced out of the tumor.
D．The pressure from the brain tumor on the nerves.
3、What partly supported Kindleysides to finish the hardest two-mile race?
A．The belief to beat others. B．The strong desire to recover.
C．The kindness to help the charity. D．The prize money for the winner.
4、What can we learn about Kindleysides?
A．He was once a successful actor.
B．His children feel a pity for him in the wheelchair now.
C．He is ambitious for joining in London marathons once more.
D．He was the first disabled-man to complete the London Marathon.
23．（8分）NASA might be famous for sending rockets up to space quickly. But it will be more famous for making your next holiday come more quickly.
The space agency is working on a new plane, which could solve the problems of supersonic(超音速的) flight and vastly increase the speed of journeys abroad. If successful, the plane would be able to fly between New York and London in just three hours. And it would reduce the time spent flying other journeys by a half, since it could be used more broadly. Until now, the problem with such planes has been the sonic boom(声爆), made famous by the original Concorde. That happens when a plane reaches supersonic speeds.
It is a thunderous noise that upsets people on the ground— disturbing animals and even causing physical problems to materials and houses underneath. It was that effect that led Congress to ban such planes from being used over the US land, a decision that in turn was responsible for Concorde’s failing t o be commercially used.
In view of the problem, the space agency has developed a new technology and tried it out in wind tunnels, and now believes that it could be put to commercial use. That plane will fly as high as 55,000 feet—far higher than normal planes—and make a sound of only 60 decibels. That’s far less than 90 decibels thrown out by normal planes, and is roughly in line with a car on the motorway or a busy restaurant.
“As long as we can get endorsement from the general public, the plane will proba bly be something that’s acceptable,” said Peter Coen, project manager for NASA’s commercial supersonic research team, in a new Bloomberg report. “If we get approved, we will have the full-sized version of the plane tried out and the plane will be put into use.”
1、Why does the author mention Concorde?
A．To suggest the rapid development of planes.
B．To stress the negative effect of sonic booms.
C．To introduce how a commercial plane is designed.
D．To show Congress’ impor tant role in making planes.
2、What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A．The basic data of the new plane.
B．The working principle of the new plane.
C．The problems of the new plane.
D．The potential market of the new plane.
3、What does the underlined word “endorsement” in paragraph 5 mean?
A．Response
B．Commitment
C．Investment
D．Agreem ent
4、What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To inform people of NASA’s new plane.
B．To prove the disadvantages of supersonic flight.
C．To explain why speed matters in supersonic flight.
D．To clarify some misunderstandings about commercial planes.
24．（8分）Most people who own iPhones use them as their alarm clocks―making it very easy to check emails one last time before falling asleep and hard to ever feel away from work and social networks.
Several years ago, my boss fainted due to exhaustion after staying up late to catch up on work. She banged her head and ended up with five stitches (缝针)―and became what she calls a “sleep evangelist (传教士).” Now she leaves her phone charging in another room when she goes to bed and encourages her friends to do the same.
“I sent all my friends the same Christmas gift―a lovely alarm clock―so they could stop using the excuse that they needed their very attractive iPhones by their beds to wake them up in the morning.” she said.
If your phone wakes you up in the morning, it may also be keeping you up at night. A 2008 study showed that people exposed to mobile radiation took longer to fall asleep and spent less time in deep sleep. “The study indicates that during laboratory exposure to 884 MHz wireless signals, components of sleep believed to be important for recovery from daily wear and tear are severely affected,” the study concluded.
A quarter of young people feel like they must be available by phone around the clock, according to a Swedish study that linked heavy cellphone use to sleeping problems, stress and depression. Unreturned messages carry more guilt when the technology to deal with them lies at our fingertips. Some teens even return text messages at midnight.
Most of us choose not to set limits on our nighttime availability. Nearly three quarters of people from the age of 18 to 44 sleep with their phones within reach, according to a 2012 Time poll. That number falls off slightly in middle age, but only people aged 65 and older are leaving the phone in another room as common as sleeping right next to it.
1、Why did the author’s boss start to enjoy sleeping?
A．Her friends encouraged her to sleep on time.
B．Mobile phones couldn’t wake her up on time.
C．Her friends sent her a lovely clock to wake her up.
D．She got hurt due to working too late.
2、Why did the author’s boss give her friends alarm clocks as Christmas gifts?
A．Alarm clocks don’t give off any radiation.
B．Alarm clocks are better at waking her friends up.
C．She advised them to replace phones with alarm clocks.
D．She used alarm clocks to remind them not to work too late.
3、What can we learn from the 2008 study?
A．Mobile radiation makes people unable to fall asleep.
B．Mobile phones can release 884 MHz wired signals.
C．Sleep can help people fight against radiation.
D．Components of sleep can be seriously affected by wireless signals.
4、What is the best title for the passage?
A．How Mobile Phones Affect Sleep
B．Why Alarm Clocks Are Better than Phones
C．How we can sleep better at night
D．How Mobile Phones Affect Health
25．（10分）It’s 3 o’clock and you’ve been hard at work. As you sit at your desk, a strong desire for chocolate overcomes you. You try to busy yourself to make it go away. But it doesn’t. Here is another situation. Perh aps you are not feeling well. The only thing you want to eat is a big bowl of chicken soup, like your mum used to make when you were sick as a child. Food cravings are a strong desire for a specific type of food. And they are normal.
Scientists at the website How Stuff Works compare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simple connection between the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomach hunger”. When our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone (激素) sends a message to one part of the brain for more food, which regulates our most basic body functions such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then produces a chemical to start the appetite
and you eat. Hunger is a function of survival.
A craving is more complex. It activates brain areas related to emotion, memory and reward. These are the same areas of the brain activated during drug-craving studies. Because of this, some scientists call food cravings “mind hunger”. People often crave foods that are high in fat an d sugar. Foods that are high in fat or high in sugar produce chemicals in the brain. These chemicals give us feelings of pleasure.
In a 2007 study, researchers at Cambridge University found that dieting or restricted eating generally increases the possibility of food cravings. So, the more you deny yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it. However, fasting (禁食) is a bit different. They found that eating no food at all for a short period of time lessened food cravings.
So, the next time you crave something very specific, know that your brain may be more to blame than your stomach.
1、What is the function of the first paragraph?
A．To deepen the understanding of hunger.
B．To lead to the topic of the whole passage.
C．To report the discovery of craving study.
D．To remind readers of their own special food.
2、What do we learn about food cravings?
A．It means the stomach functions well. B．It ensures a person survives hunger.
C．It shows food is linked to feelings. D．It proves the brain decides your appetite.
3、What’s the likely result of dieting?
A．The increase of food desire. B．The decrease of chemicals.
C．The refusal of fat and sugar. D．The disappearance of appetite.
4、What does the passage mainly discuss?
A．The findings of food cravings. B．What hunger is all about.
C．The functions of brain areas. D．What dieting may bring us.

29、One possible version：
High school is regarded as the best time in a person’life. As a senior 3 student, it won’t take long before I graduate. Now, I have much to share with my fellow students.
Firstly, I would like to show my appreciation to those standing by me all the way, teachers, parents and friends included. Without their help and advice, my life would be different.
Secondly, I’ve made up my mind to make every effort to study at college,for I believe hard work is the key to success. Meanwhile,physical exercise and recreational activities are also dispensable. Life without sunshine and laughter is bound to be a failure.
Finally I hope that all the younger fellows always keep your dream in mind, by which you will be highly motivated all the time, without doubt or hesitation. Even if sometimes you slack off, tell yourself that tomorrow holds the miracle. Just one more day may be all it will take to realize your dream.。
