第二部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50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。

A
Choosing a college is about more than the name on the diploma(文凭).Where students go to school touches many aspects of their lives,from academic studies to social activities and beyond.Considering the importance of this decision,prospective students should think carefully about their options.Follow these steps to help you make a college decision.
Develop your short list.
A lot of thought should go into developing a short list of schools you would like to attend.Brennan Barnard and Rick Clark,authors of“The Truth About College Admission:A Family Guide to Getting In and Staying Together,”urge students to think about location,enrollment size(招生规模),majors and programs,the people on campus,opportunities outside of the classroom,cost and selectivity when crafting a list.
Revisit schools.
Once applications are in,it's time to think hard about where you want to attend,which may lead another visit. While you should have gotten a feel for campus life during initial college tours,take another trip to each school and come up with a list of10to15detailed questions,says Bob Roth,author of several books on college success.Know what to ask on a college visit,and don't leave with any questions unanswered.Meeting with current students is another way to measure campus culture,as they can provide insight about social activities and classroom experiences for certain majors.But taking a campus tour can be expensive,considering travel costs.If a return trip is out of the question,take a second look at the campus via a virtual tour and reach out to college officials or students with any follow-up questions.
Compare financial aid awards.
If you're looking to graduate from college with little or no debt,carefully compare financial aid packages.It's wise to look beyond the tuition and see what additional costs apply,like housing and meal plans.Understand the difference between free money-such as grants(补助金)and scholarships—and loans,which you'll have to pay back eventually.Some colleges offer generous financial aid packages meeting full financial need,meaning those students are not required to take out loans.
Communicate with family.
Many parents have fond memories of their college campus and want their children to share that same experience.But what was the best fit for a parent,may not be the best fit for the student.Create an open dialogue during the decision-making process.Give your parents reasons as to why you want to attend a particular college, like an interest in a specific academic program or study abroad opportunity.
36.What can we learn from Paragraph2?
A.The list of colleges you would like to attend should be as short as possible.
B.There are many factors to consider before choosing a college.
C.You should list as many schools as possible before choosing a college.
D.The most important thing to consider when choosing a college is the location.
37.According to Paragraph3,why do you need to visit the schools again?
A.Because a virtual tour to the campus is always less convenient than a physical visit.
B.Because it is good to get to know more current students before school starts.
C.Because the cost of taking a campus tour is not as expensive as you think.
D.Because you need to know more about these schools before making a final decision.
38.What does the author suggest about financial aid awards?
A.You don't need to worry about the cost of rent and food.
B.You need to know what money you need to pay back and what you don't.
C.All you need to consider when choosing a college is the cost of tuition.
D.It's unwise to choose a college whose financial aid package covers all financial needs.
39.According to Paragraph5,which of the following may NOT be a reason for parents to let students choose the college they attended?
A.They have had an investment in the college.
B.They had met very good professors at that college.
C.The college has a beautiful view.
D.The college has friendly staff.
40.What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?
A.To draw student's attention to college life.
B.To help students find the right college.
C.To provide students with access to college.
D.To share his experience on selecting college.
B
The little country schoolhouse was heated by an old-fashioned,pot-bellied coal stove(煤炉).A little boy had the job of coming to school early each day to start the fire and warm the room before his teacher and his classmates arrived.
One morning they arrived to find the schoolhouse engulfed in flames(被火焰吞没).They dragged the unconscious little boy out of the flaming building more dead than alive.He had major burns over the lower half of his body and was taken to a nearby county hospital.His mother was told that he was sure to die.Even if he were to survive,he would be a cripple(瘸子)throughout his life.
But the brave boy did not want to die nor did he want to be a cripple.Much to be the amazement of the doctor, he did survive.But unfortunately from his waist down,he had no motor ability.His thin legs just dangled(悬荡) there,lifeless.Ultimately he was released from the hospital.But his determination to walk was as strong as ever.At home,when he was not in bed,he was limited to a wheelchair.One day,he threw himself from the chair and pulled himself across the grass,dragging his legs behind him.He reached the fence,raised himself up and then stake by stake,he began dragging himself along the fence,and decided that he would walk.He did this every day,with faith in himself that he would be able to walk unaided.With his iron persistence and his resolute determination,he did develop the ability to stand up,then to walk slowly,then to walk by himself and then to run.He began to walk to school,then run to school,to run for the sheer joy of ter in college he made the track team.
In February1934,in New York City's famed Madison Square Garden,this young man who was not expected to survive,who would surely never walk,who could never hope to run-this determined young man,Dr.Glenn Cunningham,ran the world's fastest mile.

Many animals and plants are endangered in the world today.These endangered species are threatened with becoming extinct,meaning they will no longer exist on Earth.Examples include the Cuban Macaw and the Sri Lankan Legume Tree.Hunting,and collecting of the Macaw bird for pets,led to its extinction.Whilst the main reason the native Sri Lankan Legume Tree went extinct was due to habitat loss from development in the20h century.The main cause for animals and plants disappearing is often a disruption(扰乱)to the food chain due to hunting,habitat loss or even the introduction of invasive(入侵的)species.
Every living thing from one-celled animals to a blue whale needs to eat.Nature is connected and controlled by many fragile(脆弱的)food chains.A food chain describes who eats whom in a habitat.When one of the links in a food chain is no longer present—for example,a species goes extinct—the food chain breaks and sometimes this can cause other animals to disappear and the whole system can become imbalanced or even collapsed.
Humans can have disastrous effects on food chains.When people first explored the world,they took animal and plant species from their home countries to the places they explored and settled in.They did not realise the consequences of introducing invasive species.By doing so,they were disrupting the natural food chains of the areas they explored.
Nowadays there are strict rules controlling the movement of animals and plants between countries.But some parts of the world are still experiencing problems with invasive species introduced hundreds of years ago.
With rising awareness of how we affect the natural environment,hopefully we can learn to protect these food chains and help them to thrive.Otherwise the continued loss of species will eventually mean our own extinction.
46.What could be inferred from Paragraph1?
A.Macaws are extinct because of habitat loss
B.Sri Lankan Legume Tree became extinct because of seed collecting.
C.The invasive species may lead to the extinction of the native species.
D.The main cause of plants extinction is hunting.
47.What can we learn about food chain from Paragraph2?
A.It only affects one-celled animals.
B.It decides the balance of the whole system.
C.It is always broken by invasive species.
D.It is controlled by fragile nature.
48.According to Paragraph3，how did humans affect food chains in areas they explored?
A.By settling in.
B.By taking away native species.
C.By hunting local animals.
D.By introducing foreign species.
49.The underlined word“thrive”in Paragraph5probably means________.
A.to continue to live or exist
B.to grow toward full stature or physical or mental maturity
C.to become,and continue to be,successful,strong,healthy,etc.
D.to get away from an unpleasant or dangerous situation
50.According to the author,which of the following is correct?
A.The food chain will always find a way to be balanced.
B.The natural world experiences times of damage but it always can recover.
C.Human activity,in all forms,tends to cause great destruction to the natural world.
D.Despite the climate change caused by humans,plants and animals will go extinct naturally.
D
Antarctica(南极洲)is the coldest place on Earth.It's also the driest.With annual rainfall close to zero, Antarctica is technically a desert.Covering about14million square kilometers around the South Pole,it is the fifth largest continent in the world.A high mountain range,the Trans-Antarctic range,runs from east to west,cutting the continent in two.There are volcanoes too,but they are not very active.Antarctica holds90%of the world's ice,and most of its fresh water(70%)is in a frozen state,of course.98%of the surface is covered permanently in the ice cap.On average it is two kilometers thick,but in some places it reaches a depth of five kilometers.Strong winds driven by gravity blow from the pole to the coastline,while other winds blow round the coast.It is difficult to imagine a more inhospitable(不宜居的)place.
Yet Antarctica is full of wildlife,which has adapted to its extreme conditions.There are different types of penguins,flying birds,seals,and whales.But the long Antarctic winter night,which lasts for182days(the longest period of continuous darkness on earth),as well as the extreme cold and lack of rainfall,means that few types of plants can survive there.Only two types of flowering plants are found,while there are no trees on the large continent.The rest of the plants are made up of mosses,algae and lichen.Some forms of algae have adapted to grow on ice.
Most of the ice has been there for thousands of years.As a result,it has become a window on the past,and can give researchers lots of useful information.Gases and minerals,in the form of volcanic dust trapped in the ice,can tell us a lot about what the world's climate was like in past ages.Antarctic rocks are also very important for research.Most of them are meteorites(陨石)from outer space.One rock,known as the“Alien”rock,may contain evidence of extra-terrestrial(外星人)life.
Antarctica was the last continent to be discovered.But more than two thousand years ago Greek geographers believed that there was a large land mass in the south which balanced the land in the north.They called it
Anti-Arktikos,or Antarctica:the opposite of Arctic(北极).When Europeans discovered the continent of America in15century,the great age of exploration began.However,progress to the South Pole was slow.Not until the late 18h century did the British explorer James Cook cross the Antarctic Circle,but he never saw land.Then in1895,a Norwegian called Carstens Borchgrevink became the first man to set foot on the Antarctic mainland.The race to the pole had begun.It was finally reached on11th December,1911by the Norwegian Roald Amundsen.
51.In writing Paragraph1,the author aims to_________.
A.tell us about the history of the discovery of Antarctica
B.tell us that Antarctica is completely covered in thick ice
C.introduce the distribution of fresh water in Antarctica
D.introduce the basic information about Antarctica
52.What does the author mainly want to tell us in Paragraph2?
A.All Antarctic plants grow on ice.
B.Animals can't survive the Antarctic polar night.
C.Antarctica has a great variety of plants.
D.Despite the extreme conditions in Antarctica,many plants and animals live there.
53.What does the author intend to show with the example of the“Alien(外星人)”rock?
A.There are aliens in Antarctica.
B.Meteorites all contain evidence of alien existence.
C.There's a lot to study in Antarctica.
D.Rocks are rare in Antarctica.
54.What could we learn from the last paragraph?
A.The Greek geographers found the Antarctica.
B.James Cook was the first explorer who reached the South Pole.
C.A Norwegian reached the South Pole first.
D.Humans first set foot on the Antarctic mainland in1911.
55.What makes the best title for the passage?
A.A Race to the South Pole
B.Antarctica:the Last Continent
C.The wildlife of Antarctica
D.Antarctica:A desert

At16years old,Sam had always been a relatively good student.He put in an effort to get good grades and keep his parents happy.Neither of his parents had had the opportunity to attend university and for them,Sam becoming a lawyer was their biggest ambition.He knew that achieving this goal would make them happy,but the truth was that he wasn't sure whether he would feel the same.
Since he was only a child,Sam had been passionate about computer programming.He taught himself how to use a computer,and by the age of12he had known three different programming languages.He did all of this in his spare time.He was quite an introvert(内向的人),so he preferred staying in with his computer,rather than going out socialising or playing sports.His parents were fine with this,as long as he continued to focus on his studies.
