第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
A
’s hot word, tuhao, may be in Oxford English Dictionary.
In Chinese, tu means rude and hao means rich. In recent year s, people use this term to describe those who spend money in an unreasonable way. The word became more popular with Apple’s gold-
colored iPhone, which is loved by ’s rich people. The color be came known as “tuhao golden”. The word is now often used t o refer to people who have money but lack taste.
There are two other Chinese hot words: dama and No Zuo No
Die, which may also be taken in the dictionary. Dama, meani ng middle-
aged women, was first used in the Western media by the Wall Street Journal. Thousands of Chinese women were buying a large amount of gold when the gold price had gone down. An other phrase No Zuo No Die, meaning if you don’t do stupid th ings, they won’t come back to bite you, is also very popular. O ther words, such as Maotai, Chinglish and dim sum have also been included in the dictionary.
BBC World News recently made a special program called “Tu hao, let’s be friends!”“The frequent use of Chinglish by foreig n media suggests that foreign people are looking more to the l ifestyle and popular culture of China,” says Zhang Yiwu, profe ssor of .
What does this trend suggest about the Chinese language’s i nfluence?
Xing Hongbing, a professor from Beijing Language and Cultur e University (BLCU) said “These show that Chinglish is now b eing accepted by the rest of the world and they play important roles in daily life of Chinese. Behind these Chinglish words a nd phrases are the Chinese culture. They are reflections of th e changes and trends in the Chinese society and they help pe ople from other countries to understand what’s happening in .”

B. Karaoke
C. Tuhao
D. Dim sum

23. What does the frequent use of Chinglish by foreign media suggest?

B
It’s all about personal peace, which means not only an imagin ary space around the body, but also the space around all the senses. People feel that their space is being violated(侵
犯) when they meet with an unwelcome sound, smell or look.
This is probably why a man on a crowded bus shouting into hi s mobile phone or a woman next to you putting on strong perf ume(香水) makes you feel angry.
Whether people have had a stronger wish to protect their pers onal space in recent times is hard to say. Yet studies of airline s show that people have a strong desire to have space to the mselves. In a survey by Trip Advisor, a travel website, people said that if they had to pay more for some extra service, they would rather have larger seats than extra food.
Although people may need their personal space, some hardly realize it. For example, people on a bus who hold newspapers in front of their faces to read in fact keep a distance from stra ngers.
Go and watch a library table. You will notice that one of the co rner seats will usually be taken first, because they are the fart hest way. What if someone sits opposite to you? Maybe you will pile up books as if to make a wall.
Preference for personal space is different from culture to cu lture. Scientists have found that Americans generally prefer m ore personal space than people from other cultures. In Latin c ultures, however, people are more comfortable standing close to each other.
24. The writer mainly _________ in this article.
A. tells us how to achieve personal space
B. explains why people need personal space
C. introduces some knowledge about personal space
D. argues for the importance of keeping personal space
25. _______ might feel his personal space is safe according to the passage?
A. A person who has to sit next to a lady putting on strong per fume.
B. A person who has been watched by a stranger for a long ti me.
C. A person who hears strange noises when reading at home.
D. A Latin boy who is chatting with a friend sitting close to him .
26. What can we know from the survey by Trip Advisor?
A. People need a smaller personal space in recent times than before.
B. People have a strong desire for personal space in recent ti mes.
C. There are not enough seats on the plane to meet people’s needs.
D. Food service is better provided than seats on the plane.
27. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The space around the body is more needed than that arou nd all the senses.
B. If you hold newspapers on the bus, your personal space w on’t be violated.
C. People usually choose the corner seats first in a library for personal space.
D. Different cultures share the same preferences for personal space.

When Johnnie Martin was in the second grade in high school, one day a psychologist of the school called him into his office .
“Johnnie,I’ve made a very careful study of you. And I feel sorr y to have to tell you… Though you have worked very hard, it h as not helped. You’re just not fit for it.”
The boy buried his face in his hands, “This will be hard on my parents,” he said. “Their one idea is for me to be a college ma n.”
The psychologist laid his hand on the boy’s shoulder and said , “People have different kinds of talents. Some day you will fin d what your special gift is and when you do, you will make yo
ur parents very proud of you.”
Johnnie never went back to school. Jobs were scarce in town, but he managed to keep busy mowing the lawns of the house holders and puttering in their flowerbeds. Before long he disco vered he had an eye for color.
One day while he was downtown, he happened to notice a str etch of unused land behind the city hall. Chance or fate or wh atever you may like to call it brought one of the town’s alderm en(市政委员会委员)
round the corner just at that moment. The boy said, “I can ma ke a garden out of this dump, if you’ll let me do it.”
“The town’s got no money for it,” said the alderman.
“I don’t want any money for it,” said the boy. “I just want to do it.”
The alderman was shocked to find someone who did not want money. He took Johnnie into an office, and when the young man came out he had the authority to clean up the public eye sore. Before long the old dump became a little beautiful park. It was also a kind of show window for Johnnie. People saw th e result of his skill and knew him as a natural landscape gard ener.
That was twenty-
five years ago. Today Johnnie is the head of a successful bus iness in landscape gardening. His aging parents are proud of Johnnie, for he is not only a success, but he has also made hi s part of the world a lovelier place to live in.
28. The psychologist called Johnnie into his office to ________ .

C. Repairing.
D. Engineering.
30. The underlined part “the public eyesore” refers to _______ _.

D
According to new research from the University of Cambridge i n , sheep are able to recognize human faces from photograph s.
The farm animals, who are social and have large brains, were previously known to be able to recognize one another, as wel l as familiar humans. However, their ability to recognize huma n faces from photos alone is novel.
The recent study, the results of which were published in the jo urnal Royal Society showed that the woolly creatures could b e trained to recognize still images of human faces, including t hose of former President Barack Obama and actress Emma Watson.
Initially, the sheep were trained to approach certain images by being given food rewards. Later, they were able to recognize the image for which they had been rewarded. The sheep coul d even recognize images of faces shown at an angle, though t heir ability to do so declined by about 15 percent – the same r ate at which a human’s ability to perform the same task declin es.
“Anyone who has spent time working with sheep will know tha t they are intelligent, individual animals who are able to recog nize their handlers,” said Professor Jenny Morton, who led the
Cambridge study. “We’ve shown with our study that sheep ha ve advanced face-
recognition abilities, comparable with those of humans and m onkeys.”
Recognizing faces is one of the most important social skills fo r human being, and some disorders of the brain, including Hu ntington’s disease, affect this ability.
“Sheep are long-
lived and have brains that are similar in size and complexity to those of some monkeys. That means they can be useful mod els to help us understand disorders of the brain, such as Hunti ngton’s disease, which develops over a long time and affects cognitive abilities. Our study gives us another way to monitor how these abilities change.” Morton said.
32. According to the new research, what’s unusual about she ep?
A. They have large brains.
B. They can recognize their owners.
C. They can recognize human faces from photograph.
D. They can tell animals from humans.
33. How did the researchers train the sheep?
A. By giving food rewards.
B. By showing photos of humans and monkeys by turns.
C. By guiding them to follow their handlers.
D. By showing photos of famous people.
34. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Sheep have a higher face-recognition ability than monkeys.
B. The sheep’s face-
recognition ability may prevent some disorders of the brain. C. The sheep’s face-
recognition ability says the same when shown photos at any a ngle.
D. The new discovery is beneficial to the study of cognitive ab ility changes.
35. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. A Wonderful Scientist.
B. How Sheep Recognize Each Other.
C. A New discovery about Sheep.
D. The Life of Sheep.
