第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）

A篇
If you have ever been sad because of failure，please remember，for often，achieving what you set out to do is not the most important thing.
A boy decided to dig a deep hole behind his house.As he was working，a couple of older boys stopped by to watch.“What are you doing？” asked one of the visitors.“I want to dig a hole all the way through the earth！” the boy answered excitedly.The older boys began to laugh，telling him that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible.After a while，the boy picked up a jar.He showed it to the visitors.It was full of spiders，worms and other insects.Then he said quietly and confidently，“Even if I can’t dig all the way through the earth，look what I found along the way！”
The boy’s goal was far too difficult，but it did cause him to dig.And that is what a goal is for—to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen，in other words，to cause us to dig!
Not every goal will be fully achieved.Not every job will end successfully.Not every dream will come true.Not every love will last.But when you fall short of your aim，maybe you can say，“Yes，but look what I found along the way！Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tried to do something！”
It is in the digging that life is lived.And I believe it is joy in the journey that really matters.
31．The older boys laughed at the boy because he was thought to be ________. A．brave B．impolite C．foolish D．warm­hearted
32．Why did the boy show the jar to the older boys?
A．To show how beautiful the insects were.
B．To share what he found while digging.

D．To fight against them.
33．The fourth paragraph tells us that ________.
A．no dream can come true B．all work will end successfully
C．goals shouldn’t be set too high D．goals will make us work harder 34．According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE?
A．Courage is very important in face of failure.
B．Love can help us go further in the world.
C．The effort we make is more important than the result.
D．Digging a hole through the earth means little.
35．The best title for the passage should be ________.
A．Joy in the Journey B．A Boy Dug a Hole
C．No Pains，No Gains D．Failure Is the Mother of Success
B篇
It is not unusual at all for teens to answer their parents with oneword answers.“Where are you going？”“Places.”“When will you be back？”“Sometime.”“Who will you be with？”“People.”
That means that the days of your children standing in the front door with the details of their day are over.They are breaking away from you so that they’ll be able to stand on their own as a young adult.
Some parents feel sad about this loss of their children’s closeness.Of course you miss those conversations and friendly talks.Once your children move out after high
school and establish themselves confidently as a young adult，they’ll come back for easy conversations and even ask for advice.But in order to determine who are right now，they need to separate from you.
Your job，however，is to keep them safe—and that requires knowing where they are and who they are with.Let them know clearly that it’s not because you want to dominate their life and control them；it’s because it’s a safety issue for family members to keep track of one another.
When they’re home and sit down to eat a meal，sit down with them.You need to open up to them about your life.Tell them of an interesting incident at the office，let them in on a bit of family gossip ，discuss a piece of news with them.They are glad that you see them as old enough to be in on a few experiences of your life.By letting a teen in on your life，they just may let you in on theirs.

What will people die of 100 years from now？If you think that is a simple question，you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology．With the help of new medicine，the human body will last a very long time.Death will come mainly from accidents，murder and war.Today’s leading killers，such as heart disease，cancer，and aging itself，will become distant memories. In discussion of technological changes，the Internet gets most of the attention these days.But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times.How long can humans live？Human brains were known to decide the final death.Cells are the basic units of all living things，and until recently，scientists were sure that
the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells，such as those of brain cells，would not last forever.But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine.Sometime between 2050 and 2100，medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so，people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs.The medicine，made up of the basic building materials of life，will build new brain cells，heart cells，and so on—in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.
It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence，but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.
46．According to the passage，human death is now mainly caused by ________. A．diseases and aging B．accidents and war

C．the basic materials of cells will last forever
D．human organs can be repaired by new medicine
49．We can infer from the passage that ________.
A．human life will not last more than 120 years in the future
B．humans have to take medicine to build new skin cells now
C．many things have to be done before humans can have a longer life
D．we have already solved the technical problems in building new cells 50．What is the best title of the passage?
