第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)
第一节(共10题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

A
John Sand was one of the most influential teachers I have ever met. During high school, he taught me more than any other teacher has been able to.
His unusual attitude reflects his methods of teaching. He was often trying to push us out of our comfort zones with video projects we did about once a month. He wanted us to face and accept how other people saw us to prepare us for the real world. He was always making colorful Power Points to teach us the latest topic instead of standing in front of us lecturing for a period, putting us to sleep like many teachers do. He did not give us homework one day and have it due the next, but instead gave us a schedule of the homework and left the responsibility up to us to
remember to do it. Having that prepares us for life after high school, life less organized, where the responsibility is all on us.
Mr. Sand is a responsible family man. He took whatever time we had left in class to show us his newest vacation videos or his children’s sports videos. He balances his family and his career so nicely.
Mr. Sand always encouraged us to explore the cultures of the world. He would tell us stories of his travels across Europe and his adventures around the US, while many teachers just force the idea of college.
Many people may not ever get to have the experience of having Mr. Sand as a teacher or ever be affected by him like I was. But for them, I feel sorry. Putting aside that he was my teacher, he was one person who influenced me greatly and taught me things that went beyond the school courses.
21. According to the writer, why was John Sand different from other teachers?
A. He never gave homework to his students.
B. He clearly knew what his students would be like in the future.
C. He always made his classes lively and interesting.
D. He often encouraged his students to face the real world bravely.
22. Which of the following shows that the writer was greatly affected by Mr. Sand?
A. He realizes what makes an excellent teacher.
B. He has the courage to take great adventures.
C. He feels more confident within comfort zones.
D. He knows how to deal with life after high school
23. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. An outstanding teacher
B. A valuable experience of schooling
C. A kind family man, and a father
D. An unusual method of teaching
B
Music is magic! Music speaks louder than words and it is a “language” that the whole world can understand. A piece of music can produce a response in the heart and mind. Like feeling an electrical current or receiving a personal radio signal, music has a spiritual effect on a person. Different kinds of music influence people in different ways.
I have listened to music all my life. When I was twelve years old, the Beatles came to
America and my whole world opened up. Maybe young people today cannot understand the influence of the Beatles when they exploded across America. Their influence changed the way we dressed, looked, acted and spoke... even our culture. The Beatles arrived in America from the UK just three months after the assassination(暗杀) of President John Kennedy, which had put America into a great depression. And the freshness and lively spirit of the Beatles was exactly what the country needed to refresh itself.
Music links the heart of the hearer with that of the composer. This means that it mixes the spirit of the composer with your spirit when you listen to it. And the music can take your spirit out of your body and transport you into another world. Music has a great way of touching people. Music can make you laugh, cry or shout. It’s also a great source of inspiration.
Try this one day and notice what happens: make yourself a cup of tea, sit on your sofa and play one of your favorite songs. Close your eyes, and soon you’ll find yourself creating vivid mental images matching the music that you are listening to.
24.Music has magical power because it ________.
A. is a kind of language
B. can be played much louder than words
C. receives a personal radio signal
D. can influence a person’s spirit
25. Music influences people in the following ways EXCEPT ________．
A. touching and inspiring people
B. transport people form one place to another
C. allowing people to express their emotions
D. connecting the listener and the composer mentally
26. What does the writer suggest people do in the last paragraph?
A. Create vivid pictures.
B. Enjoys drinking in spare time.
C. Relax and listen to their favorite music.
D. Notice everything happening around.
C
People who increased the number of times they chewed their food before swallowing ate less each meal, according to a new study.
Slow eaters tend to be slimmer. Before the study, the researchers didn’t know whether asking people to chew more would change the amount of food they ate. But they found meal sizes became smaller when adults chewed more before swallowing—whether they were slim,
normal-weight, overweight or obese.
“The study proves the benefits of taking time to chew food well,” said dietitian Brown Giggs.
The participants were asked to eat five pizza rolls and count the number of times they chewed each roll. Researchers did not tell them what exactly was being tested in the study. 47 people went on to finish the study. 10 were slim, 10 were normal-weight, 27 were overweight. Those participants attended three weekly lunchtime test periods. Each day, researchers gave them 60 pizza rolls and told them to eat until they were full. Depending on the period, researchers asked people to chew every bite the same number of times as at their test visit, 50% more or twice as many times.
Slim participants ate more slowly than normal-weight and overweight participants. Overall, people spent more time eating when they increased the number of times they chewed. The participants rated their appetite ( 食欲) the same after each meal even though slower chewing reduced how much they ate.
Researchers noted that the study was conducted under lab conditions, so it’s not clear whether it would adapt to normal life. The researchers are now looking to see whether how fast people eat, for example, influences how much they eat. “It takes about 20 minutes for the brain to signal your stomach that you re full,” Brown Riggs said.
“Fast eaters can eat a lar ge amount of food within that 20-minute period causing more calories, which can lead to being overweight or obesity.”
27. What does the passage tell us?
A. Slim people should take time to chew food well.
B. People should eat slowly if they want to be slim.
C. The amount of food people eat depends on the times they chew it.
D. People’s appetite is deeply influenced by the times they chew the food.
28. In the study, participants were told to________.
A. take more calories from the pizza rolls
B. eat five portions of pizza rolls every day
C. understand the purpose of the test
D. control the times they chewed the pizza rolls
29. What can we infer from the last but one paragraph?
A. The normal-weight ones ate the most slowly among the participants.
B. The longer time a person eats for, the more times he chews
C. A person’s eating speed doesn’t affect his appetite for food
D. The quantity of food a person takes has something to do with his appetite
30. Participants in the study reduced their food amount probably because they _______.
A. didn’t like eating food containing lots of calories
B. had less space in their stomach to contain too much food
C. had enough time to receive the signal of being full from their brain
D. were not used to eating food in the lab conditions
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
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。

Too many of us are waiting too long to live our best lives. We keep putting everything off until tomorrow. Then, before we know it, we find ourselves asking, “How did it get so late so s oon?”
So we’d better make today the beginning of our new life. Take time to figure ourselves out. Take time to realize what we want and need. Take time to love, laugh, cry, and learn. 31 Here are five things we should start doing today:
Accept ourselves. The secret to happiness and success is the acceptance of ourselves. We will never become who we want to be if we rely on everyone else to qualify us. 32 So always go with ourselves, never against ourselves. Be who we were created to be and we will set the world on fire.
Make ourselves a priority. To tell the truth, there are only a few people in this world who will stay 100% true to us, so we should stay true to ourselves. Put our own needs into the list of things to do.
33 Don’t sit back and let things happen to us. Go out and make things happen. We are what we do, not what we say we’ll do. Stop saying “I wish” and start saying “I will”. Turn our dreams into plans.
Do the work. We can’t underestimate (低估) a person who always works hard. Be that person.
34 Always remember that the task ahead of us is never greater than the strength within us. Do
what’s right, not what’s easy. Our dreams are worth it.
35 We can’t force things to happen; we can only drive ourselves trying crazily. There’s a time and place for everything. So don’t force what’s not yet supposed to fit into our life. When it’s meant to be, it will be. Work hard, and be patient.
A. Take positive action.
B. Enjoy every moment of life.
C. Life is shorter than it often seems.
D. Everyone has a different way of life.
E. Accept ourselves just the way we are.
F. Allow life to happen like it’s supposed to.
G. In life, we don’t get what we wish for; we get what we work for.

第四部分：概要写作（25分）
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要.
While many of us go to sleep before midnight, some teenagers choose to stay up much later. They are not driven by the burning desire to write a better essay or achieve a higher grade. Instead, they are busy playing online games. Known as young Internet addicts, they have long been a problem in China. A report released（发布）in 2010 by the China Youth Association for Network Development showed that there were over 24 million young Internet addicts among China’s young urban Internet users. The report also said that over 18 million youth tended to develop Internet addiction.
To deal with the problem of Internet addiction among teenagers, the Cyberspace Administration of China released draft regulations （法规草案）in January which carried out a ban on online gaming. If the regulations are passed, under-18s would be banned from playing online games between midnight and 8 am.
As soon as the government’s draft law was introduced, it drew great attention from the public. Some thought highly of the law as a way to better protect teenagers, saying that too much overnight gaming is harmful to teenagers’ health and believing the period between midnight and 8 am to be important to human physical functions . However, others wondered whether it would be practicable if it came into effect, as teenagers could just borrow their parent’ IDs to register (登录）accounts to play online games. The Guangming Daily suggested that parents should help their teenagers find a balance between the cyber（网络的）world and the real world.
China is by no means the only one trying to fight against teenage gaming addiction. Germany introduced a regulation in 2002 trying to stop teenagers from playing online games from 10 pm to 6 am. Meanwhile, the UK, the US and Australia have forced a rating system（分级制）on computer games to make sure that teenagers cannot access “adult” content such as violence, sex or bad language.

A generation ago, there were three main types of colleges in the U.S.: two-year community colleges, large public four-year universities, and small private four-year colleges, (17) Well, now there is a fourth option: online programs. These are design for learners who want to study at their own speed, who don’t necessarily care about campus life, and who want to be able to do other things while they are in school, like travel or work.(18)Online programs use the power of the Internet to offer video lectures to students from all over the world. Students can write questions in a chat box, and many classes allow students to take control of a microphone within the class website to start discussions. professors give homework assignments just like in traditional college courses, and students are expected to turn in their work on time and not to miss class. Tests are the only thing that cannot be done remotely. Students are required either to show up to a testing building run by the online program or to have a program representative show up to their house to give the exam. (19)This makes the tests fair and honest. Many professors at traditional schools believe that an online degree isn’t as valuable as one from a regular school, and some parents worry that their children will not be as independent as they otherwise might be. (20)But the high cost of education has turned many people into believers of this option, and it looks like it’s here to stay.。
