第二部分阅读理解（满分40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。

21．（6分）The computer mouse is familiar to everyone because it is a most useful device used by people to communicate with a desktop computer. It gave way to the touch pad（触摸板）for laptops but some people still use it for their laptops.
The man who invented the computer mouse, Douglas Engelbart died at home on July 2, 2013.Engelbart’s daughter Christina notified his death to the state’s Computer History Museum in an email. She said that her father had kidney failure and died peacefully on Tuesday night in his sleep.
Engelbart developed the mouse in the 1960s—a wooden shell covering two meal wheels, obtaining a patent for it long before the mouse’s widespread use.
Engelbart was born on January 30, 1925 in Portland, Oregon, to a radio repairman father and a housewife mother. He was working in a government aerospace laboratory in California when he had the vision of the computer mouse.
When he started working, the computer was at the infant stage and was a big machine that required huge amounts of time to process data. But Engelbart had already imagined the future of the computer and related technology. He was ahead of many scientists working on the same technology.
After the Vietnam War he started working on the interactive computer at an experimental research group at Stanford Research Institute, which had the financial backing of the Air Force, NASA and the Advanced Research Projects Agency, an arm of the Defense Department.
In 1968at a conference, he demonstrated a working model of a mouse, computer and keyboard that was used to share data on network. He demonstrated text editing, video conferencing and hypertext. His idea of computer network was the base and first
step towards ARPANET.
He never made money with the invention of the mouse as his patent was till 1987 and the mouse came into wide use after the 1980s when Steve Jobs of Apple bought one button mouse. Apple never paid any money to Engelbart.
1、With the development of science and technology ________.
A．the computer mouse is still a necessary part of a laptop
B．some people stop using the mouse on their desktop computer
C．the touch pad has taken the place of the mouse in a way
D．laptops will become popular with most of the users
2、When Douglas Engelbart left the world ________.
A．he suffered a lot from kidney failure
B．he happened to be living with his daughter
C．he failed to send an email to a museum
D．he had a quiet expression on the face
3、When Engelbart got a patent for the mouse ________.
A．he had made many other inventions
B．the mouse wasn’t used widely
C．a wooden mouse was very popular
D．he took charge of an aerospace laboratory
4、From the sixth paragraph we can know that ________.
A．Engelbart went off to the Vietnam War B．Engelbart gained a lot of support C．Engelbart worked for the Air Force D．Engelbart earned a lot of money 22．（8分）A few years ago I had an “aha!” moment regarding handwriting.
I had in my hand a sheet of paper with handwritten instructions on it for some sort of editorial task. It occurred at first that I did not recognize the handwriting, and then I realized whose it must be. I finally became aware of the fact that I had been working with this colleague for at least a year, maybe two, and yet I did not recognize her handwriting at that point.
It was a very important event in the computerization of life—a sign that the informal. Friendly communication of people working together in an office had changed from notes in pen to instant messages and emails. There was a time when our workdays were filled with little letters, and we recognized one another’s handwriting the way we
knew voices or faces.
As a child visiting my father’s office, I was pleased to recognize, in little no tes on the desks of his staff, the same handwriting I would see at home in the notes he would leave on the fridge—except that those notes were signed “dad” instead of “RFW”.
All this has been on my mind because of the talk about The Rise and Fall of Handwriting, a book by Florey. She shows in her book a deep concern about the fall of handwriting and the failure of schools to teach children to write well, but many others argue that people in a digital age can’t be expected to learn to hold a pen.
I don’t buy it.
I don’t want to see anyone cut off from the expressive, personal associations that a pen still promotes better than a digital keyboard does. For many a biographer, part of really getting to know their subjects is learning to read their handwriting.
What some people advocate is teaching one of the many attractive handwritings based on the handwriting of 16th-century Italy. That may sound impossibly grand—as if they want kids to learn to draw by copying classical paintings. However, they have worked in many school systems.
1、Why was the author surprised at not recognizing his colleague’s handwriting? A．He had worked with his colleague long enough.
B．His colleague’s handwriting was so beautiful.
C．His colleague’s handwriting was so terrible.
D．He still had a lot of work to do.
2、People working together in an office used to ________.
A．talk more about handwriting
B．take more notes on workdays
C．know better one another’s handwriting
D．communicate better with one another
3、According to the author, handwritten notes ________.
A．are harder to teach in schools
B．attract more attention
C．are used only between friends
D．carry more message
4、We can learn from the passage that the author ________.
A．thinks it impossible to teach handwriting
B．does not want to lose handwriting
C．puts the blame on the computer
D．does not agree with Florey
23．（8分）The pursuit of longevity has long been on people’s minds, prompting an abundance of research on the effects of food and diet on the human lifespan. According to recent research from the UC Irvine Institute, drinking coffee and wine could help you live longer.
The 90+ Study evaluated more than 1,600 people over the age of 90 for their lifestyle habits and other qualities that might have contributed to their longevity.
Participants were visited every six months, when they were given various tests. Researchers also collected information about the participants’ diets, lifestyles, and medical histories.
They found out that two of the habits that helped preserve lives the most are drinking alcohol and coffe e. “I have no explanation for it,” admitted Dr Claudia Kawas, “but I do firmly believe that moderate (适度的) drinking improves longevity.” So should we all be drinking more coffee and wine? While that would be great news, the research may not be as definitive as it seems.
“Most studies about alcohol consumption, including The 90+ Study, are observational, so we can only say that something about drinking is associated with health and longevity,” registered dietitian Jennifer Markowitz told The Daily Meal.
“I’d be curious to see if the coffee and alcohol drinkers shared other important habits or lifestyle factors that might also play into their longevity.”
In other words, it might not be the wine and coffee that’s helping people live longer, but the two substan ces do have some considerable health benefits. “Wine and coffee are packed with antioxidants(抗氧化剂) which are known to protect our bodies from damage caused by free radicals,” explained registered dietitian Keri Gans to The Daily Meal. “Research on antioxid ants has shown several heath benefits, including the possibility they may lower the risk of type 2 diabetes, improve cognitive function, decrease the risk of dementia, and lower the risk of heart disease.”
Moderate drinking can be beneficial according to other studies—so long as it’s moderate.
1、What’s the passage mainly about?
A．Antioxidants having a positive effect on the lifespan.
B．The effects of food and diet on the human lifespan.
C．Advocating drinking wine and coffee in our daily life.
D．Moderate drinking helping people live longer.
2、The information was collected about the participants in the 90+ Study except
________.
A．food consumption
B．lifestyle
C．hobbies
D．medical history
3、How can the wine and coffee benefit people’s health?
A．They provide people with essential nutrition.
B．They are rich in antioxidants.
C．They protect free radicals in human bodies.
D．They can bring relief to pain.
4、What can we infer from the passage?
A．Not all the people participating in the study are over 90.
B．Most studies about alcohol consumption are based on observation.
C．Over-drinking can also be beneficial according to other studies.
D．Antioxidants can cure type 2 diabetes.
24．（8分）When I was a very little child, I remember watching TV and seeing other children suffer in other parts of the world. I would talk to myself, “when I grow up, when I can become rich, I’ll save kids all over the world.”
At the age of 17, I began my career here in America, and by 18, I started my first charity organization. I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years, and met, helped, and even lost some of the most beautiful souls, from six-year-old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia (白血病)—her story inspired thousands to volunteer as donors, to 2012 when my grandmother lost her battle with cancer, which is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation (CLF). We’re all human. And we all jus t want a chance: a chance at life, a chance in education, a chance at a future, really. And at CLF, our mission is to impact as
many lives as possible, but it starts with just one.
People make it seem too hard to do charity work. The truth is, you don’t ha ve to be rich to help others. You don’t need to be famous. You don’t even have to be
college-educated. But it starts with your neighbor, the person right next to you, the person sitting next to you in class, the kid down the block in your neighborhood. You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can. And today, I want to challenge each of you to make a commitment to help one person, one organization, one situation that touches your heart. My grandmother always used to say, “If you’ve got a doll ar, there’s plenty to share.”
1、What did the author want to do at a young age?
A．Watch TV. B．Grow up quickly.
C．Become wealthy. D．Help other children.
2、Which of the following directly caused the author to create and develop the CLF? A．A six-year-old kid’s request.
B．Her grandmother’s d eath of cancer.
C．Many volunteers’ inspiration for it.
D．Other organizations’ encouragement.
3、What does the underlined word “one” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．A chance. B．A life.
C．A task. D．An organization.
4、What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph?
A．Do little things to help those around them.
B．Work very hard to get a college education.
C．Challenge their friends to offer help.
D．Do charity work when you are rich.
25．（10分）Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.
My father is famous in our family for saying “Take the extra minute to do it right.”
I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge
of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.
I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he was 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.
I know t here will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something,
but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.
1、Which of the following is an exa mple of the “extra minute” rule?
A．Start the car the moment everyone is seated.
B．Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.
C．Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.
D．Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.
2、The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to______.. A．abandoned B．avoided
C．lacked D．taken
3、The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ________.
A．join in the holiday celebration of the company
B．keep her appointment with the eye doctor
C．finish her work before the deadline approached
D．meet her father who was already an old man
4、What is the best title for the passage?
A．The Two Saddest Words B．The Most Useful Rule
C．The Peace of Mind D．The Emotional Well-being

29、Dear Thompson,
I’m grateful that you’ve invited me to visit the art show. But it’s a great pity that I can’t go with you as I’ve already seen it. However, I’d like to invite you to go to another exhibition, which is about the technology of the Internet. It is said that some most advanced products and inventions of telecommunication will be on show, including the newest cellphones. Many new functions have added to them, making the phones more useful. I’m sure you will have a good time.
The show will be held at 9 o’clock a.m. next Monday at the city exhibition centre.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua。
