第二部分 阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）
第1节：阅读下列短文, 从每题后面所给的选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。

A.
Just 25 years ago, the top three career hopes for young people in Britain were teacher, banker and doctor. Now, they want to be sports star, pop star and actor, according to a survey by the Guardian newspaper．
Rachel, a character in the popular TV show Glee, may be said to speak for British teenagers. “Nowadays being nobody is worse than being poor. ” He said.
Emma Brockes, a reporter with the Guardian, believes it is “the bad influence of celebrity（名人)culture” that is to blame. “When children wanted to be doctor, it wasn’t because they were really more interested in the functions of human organs than they are now; you go where the respect is. ” She wrote.
It could explain why there has been such an increase in levels of anxiety and depression. Dr Carlo Strenger of Tel Aviv University, studied the sense of self for his new book The Fear of Insignificance Searching for Meaning in the 21st Century. He told the Daily Mail that young people now are “affected by the close connection to the global entertainment network, which has turned ranking and rating people according to wealth and celebrity into an obsession（痴迷） ”
“As humans, we naturally measure ourselves to those around us, but now we live in a global village.. We are comparing ourselves with the most ‘important’ people in the world and finding ourselves wanting, ” he said. Today, even high achievers constantly fear that they are insignificant when they compare themselves to success stories in the media.
The way out? Simply stop measuring your achievement through a fantasy of wealth and celebrity. Dr Strenger said that it is a process called “active self-acceptance through a constant search for self-knowledge through life. ” “The fear of insignificance can only be overcome through strong individual and cultural identity over and above measurable achievement,” he said.
41. Nowadays, young people in Britain want to______.
A. choose jobs based on interests
B. become famous
C. be teacher, banker and doctor
D. earn more money
42. According to Emma Brockes, what causes the increasing level of anxiety?
A. Choices of future careers.
B. Access to the global network.
C. Bad influences of celebrities.
D. Endless comparison with others.
43. Which of the following is true of Dr Carlo Strenger?
A. He is a newspaper reporter.
B. He is the spokesman of teenagers.
C. He tells success stories on TV.
D. He is against ranking people with wealth.44. Dr Carlo Strenger suggests that young people should_________. A. seek active self-acceptance B. stick to their own dreams C. make great achievements D. search for the secret of wealth 45. The text is mainly written to_______. A. talk about job choices B. encourage celebrity culture C. analyze a social phenomenon D. introduce three famous people

Studies show that you may be lied every day anywhere from 10 to 200 times. We say, “Nice song.” “Honey, you don’t look fat in that, no.” But another study showed that strangers lied three times within the first 10 minutes of meeting each other. We lie more to strangers than we lie to coworkers. Men lie eight times more about themselves than they do other people. Women lie more to protect other people. If you’re married, you’re going to lie to your wife/ husband in one out of every 10 communications. If you’re unmarried, that number drops to three. But look, if at some point you
got lied to, it’s because you agreed to get lied to. Truth about lying lying’s a cooperative act. Not all lies are harmful. Sometimes we’re willing to lie for the sake of social dignity (尊严), maybe to keep a private secret.
Lying is complex. It’s woven into the fabric of our daily and business lives. We’re deeply disturbed by the truth. We explain it, sometimes for very good reasons, other times just because we don’t understand the gaps between ideals and realities in our lives. We’re against lying, but secretly we’re for it in ways that our society has practiced for centuries and centuries. It’s as old as breathing. It’s part of our culture and history. Think the stories from Dante, Shakespeare, the Bible, News of the World.
Lying has great value to the evolution of human beings. Researchers have long known that the more intelligent the species, the more likely it is to lie. We humans like to become leaders. It starts really early. How early? Well, babies will pretend to cry, pause, wait to see who’s coming and then go right back to crying. One-year-olds learn hiding truth. Two-year-olds bluff (虚张声势). Five-year-olds lie outright and try to control via flattery (讨好). Nine-year-olds, masters of covering up. By the time you enter college, you’re going to lie to your mom in one out of every five interactions. By the time we enter this work world to be breadwinners, we’ve entered a world that is just full of fake digital friends, business media, identity thieves, world-class cheats, ---in short, a post-truth society.
What do you do? Well there are steps we can take to guide our way through the bushes. Trained lie spotters(监视人) get to the truth 90% of the time. The rest of us, we’re only 54% accurate. Why is it so easy to learn? There are clever liars and stupid liars. There’re no real original liars. We all make the same mistakes. We all use the same techniques.
50. From Para.1 we learn that lying is very ________.
A. harmful
B. easy
C. interesting
D. common
51. According to the passage, a lie works when _________.
A. the liar’s words are sweet enough
B. it is given to a complete stranger
C. someone gives the liar cooperation
D. we are willing to lie for the dignity
52. Lying is complex because ________.
A. it is practiced by clever ones
B. people are for it as well as against it
C. ancient stories are full of lies
D. it is the whole part of great culture
53. The examples of kids lying in the passage show ________.
A. lying is a sign of intelligent development
B. lying is good for children’s growing up
C. at what age children begin to tell lies
D. 9-year-old children are masters of lying
54. What will the writer most likely talk about if he continues the passage?
A. How to become clever liars.
B. How to avoid stupid lies.
C. How to get through the bushes.
D. How to tell truth from lies.
D.
When I heard the piano, I walked to Mrs. Windsor’s house and waited outside as I always did. That meant she was working with another student, and I was not supposed to bother them by ringing the bell. I stood against the wall and daydreamed what I’d rather be doing. “Almost anything”, I sighed dejectedly. I had been tutored enough to read, understand, and even write some musical compositions, but I just didn’t have a gift for it. It didn’t come to me naturally. I thought back to happier times when I was writing stories and acting them out with my friends, cutting up old clothes to make dresses that performers wear in plays, and building scenery out of old things we found. But Mrs. Windsor had offered to give me the lessons for free, so I felt my duty to try.
The door opened and Wendy Barton came out. I walked in, sat down on the piano bench and began to sort through my sheet music.
“Hello,” I heard a voice behind me say softly. I turned around to see a little girl standing behind me, eating an apple. But before I could make any response, Mrs. Windsor walked into the room in her usual urgent manner and announced, “Jennifer, this is my niece, Pasha. Pasha, this is Jennifer. Pasha will be giving you your lesson today. I’m up to my ears in something else!” she then exited to the kitchen.
Pasha set her apple down on the side table and slid beside me on the piano bench.
“What piece do you like best?” she asked.
“What do you mean?” I asked. “They’re all the same to me. I don’t know.”
“You mean you don’t have a favorite?”
“No, not really.”
Pasha looked at me, rather puzzled, then opened my sheet music to the beginning page and asked me to play. I arranged my fingers on the keys and studied the notes on the page for a moment. Then I frowned and concentrated to make the notes on the page match the finger movements. I have to admit I was a rather mechanical pianist.
After about a page or two, Pasha gently put her hand on top of mine as if to calm my fingers. There was a long pause. “What are you hearing in the music?” I looked at her rather strangely and admitted I didn’t know what she meant.
“Like a story. What story is being playing out within the music?”
“I guess I’ve never thought about it before. I don’t know.”
“Here, let me try and you listen,” Pasha advised.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, letting her fingers dance lightly over the keys. Then, she began to play. “See, it begins here beside some kind of river. Hear the water flowing beside you?”
Her fingers rose and fell gently on the keys. “Now the princess appears and she’s picking flowers from the water’s edge.” A carefree, happy piece of music filled the air in time to Pasha’s dancing fingers. “Oh, but she slips!”The music changed. “And our princess is being carried off by the fast-flowing stream. Quickly, the princess’s horse sees her plight (困境),” Pasha continued, and races to the river’s edge where he swims out to let her catch hold of him. They make it to the bank and she hugs her faithful horse and swears she will never again wear princess skirts that weigh her down. She will only wear jeans and T-shirt from now on.” Pasha finished with a big smile and then looked at me.
“Aren’t you the girl who tells the stories?” she asked.
“I guess. I do tell a lot of stories.”
“Oh, yes! All the kids talk about them. I’ve heard about you. Well, all you have to do is learn to hear the stories in the music. That’s all there is to it.”
“I’ve never thought it that way.”
“Let’s try another one, shall we?” Pasha smiled and together we played that afternoon, finding the stories in the music and learning that sometimes it takes a friend to pull you out of the river onto dry land again.
55. The underlined word “dejectedly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. nervously
B. desperately
C. impatiently
D. unhappily
56. Jennifer got lost in thought when she ________.
A. played the piano with Pasha for the first time

第二节：下面文章中有五处（第61-65题）需要添加小标题。

请从下列A、 B、 C、 D、 E和 F中选出符合各段意思的的小标题，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。

选项中有一项是多余选项。

A. Facebook’s advertising
B. Typical activities on Facebook
C. Suggestions about the future of Facebook
D. Problems with trust in personal information
E. Product purchase following Facebook’s friends
F. People’s attitude towards the development of Facebook
Facebook (脸谱网) is a communicating tool similar to QQ in China，shortly after its coming into being, it became popular with tens of millions of clients (用户). Being one of them, Jane is talking about Facebook. The followings are her descriptions about it
61.________
The most common activity I use Facebook is to see what people are up to. I like to look through friends’ photo albums to see where they’ve been and who they’re with. It’s also a nice way to message friends casually. I created a Facebook group for a certain club, so I just send out messages to the group when a meeting or event is coming up.
62.________
When Facebook was first started, everyone in my age wanted to be on it. The first version didn’t have any of the fancy things—we could just message, play poke and befriend. It was too flat. When they started to add new features like the wall, photo albums, video capabilities, and groups, people became more interested. But then Facebook took it too far. Now I find Facebook has quite a few useless features. I prefer an older version of just the basics—messaging, walls, photos and groups.
63.________
I don’t add anything too personal to my profile. My only concern is that friends can post pictures of me that I don’t want to share. I download them but they will still be on the Internet. I don’t think that’s a good idea. I think when you don’t want a photo to be shared, it should be deleted from the photo album.
64.________
It wouldn’t bother me one bit. It’s the same as any other recommendation
method. I think it’s a good place to sell/buy. You see your friends are into it, so you feel the connection right there —it seems like a great time to make a purchase. If Facebook had this service setup, people could just go on to see what new songs their friends are listening to - one click and they can purchase the songs on music websites, or rent new movies on movie websites etc.
65.________
If Facebook keeps trying to stick in useless applications to attract advertisers, it may sink in the future. But if it allows users to go to music or movie websites directly from their friends profiles, it may become the new social networking search engine that people use to look through their friends stuff when they need advice about what to buy. If they include a feature like favorite stores to shop at, they will definitely expand on the possibilities.

I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard my name calling. I was chosen to play the leading role in the play，that was my dream. As a shy and thin girl，I used to be quite afraid of speaking in the public. But my parents and teachers always encourage me to do so. Now I have changed great. In class，I am often the first one to stand up and answer problems even if I may make some mistakes. No pains, no gains. Now I am always brave enough overcome the difficulty in my heart and have changed in a lively girl.
So my experience shows that we should not be afraid of losing face but only in this way can we make progresses.

书面表达：
Possible version 1
No doubt everyone hopes to be successful. However, this doesn’t always happen as expected. For example, I can still remember the sports meeting in middle school, in which I took part in the 800-meter race. At first I thought I could not finish such a long distance for I had no talent for sports. But I decided to practice running every day. Months of hard work rewarded me with the third place. Although I was not the first one, I finished the race. To me this was a success.
Personally, process is more important than result. As long as we have done our utmost in the process, we won’t feel sorry for ourselves though the result is not so satisfactory. (120 words)
Possible version 2
Success, as is known, results from constant efforts. However, not
everyone can achieve desired success. Take my friend, Alex, for example, who has been dreaming of being a writer when he was only 15. After numerous attempts, his writings still couldn’t be published. Now he’s a worker and yet he keeps on writing in his spare time. Though he can’t reach his aim, he never loses heart.
In my view, failure as well as success is part of our life. No matter how hard we try, sometimes we may still fail, but we can learn something from failure. In fact, failure doesn’t mean we lose everything. Only when we face failure properly can we understand the real meaning of success. (120 words)。
