第二部分阅读理解（共两节满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下面四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

A
When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight to the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.
“Storm chasing ” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby , especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.
Although anyone can do it , storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm season.
Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement. “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”
However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,” says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of nature, It is the greate st show on earth.”
46. For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to ____ .
A. head straight for the center of the storm
B. get into the car for safety
C. wait patiently for the storm to develop
D. collect information about a coming storm
47. Beginners of storm chasing are advised ______ .
A. not to drive in a heavy rain
B. to do it in an organized way
C. not to get too close to a storm
D. to spend more time on it in summer
48. By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph, the author means that _____ .
A. storm chasing costs a lot of money
B. storm chasing is worth hours of waiting
C. efforts in storm chasing are well paid
D. a storm presents the greatest show on earth
49. What can we learn from the text?
A. Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment
B. Many storm chasers get killed in the storms.
C. Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world.
D. Storm chasing is only fit for young people.
B
It is common to have difficulties sleeping during the day. Humans are naturally wired to sleep best at night and be awake during the day. However, modern work schedules require some people to try to accommodate the unnatural schedule of shift(轮班)work — being awake at night and sleeping during the day.
In order to make this adjustment, you need to pay special attention to your sleep environment and your preparation for sleep. If shift work is a necessary part of your work life, here are some suggestions that may help.
Arrange to sleep uninterrupted in a quiet, dark room. This means you may have to turn off or unplug your phone, hang darkening curtains on the windows or wear a sleep eye mask, and train your family and friends to leave you alone while you sleep.
Fit in a nap(小睡). When your daytime sleep period is too short, taking a short nap of less than 30 minutes just before work or on a break has been shown to improve alertness and enhance performance.
Develop and follow a sleep routine. It's best if you go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day. Try not to vary this too much at weekends. Your body likes routine.
Take extra care to make healthy choices. You may be tempted to reach for unhealthy foods or nicotine to stay awake or alcohol to try to sleep. But ultimately these choices are more harmful than helpful.
If you have tried all these things and are still having problems getting enough quality sleep during the day, talk to your doctor or a sleep specialist. Sometimes medications(药物治疗)may be helpful and safe. In other cases, there may be an underlying sleep disorder that needs to be addressed.
50. The purpose of the text is to ______ .
A. persuade workers to have a good sleep.
B. advise night workers to keep healthy
C. encourage workers to do day work
D. help night workers to sleep well
51. What does the author recommend?
A. A suitable amount of alcohol to help sleep.
B. A regular life on weekdays and weekends.
C. A dark room without phones to sleep in.
D. A break for sleeping anytime during the day.
52. On which condition should a person turn to a sleep specialist for help?
A. If he suffers from a sleep disorder for the first time.
B. If a good sleep environment is greatly needed for him.
C. If he fails to get quality sleep through his own efforts.
D. If he has the problem of falling asleep in the daytime.
53. We can learn from the test that _____ .
A. night workers need a long time to fall asleep
B. constant breaks at work help to improve performance
C. it is difficult to create a good sleep environment
D. night work requires people to adjust their body clocks
C
The world economy has run into a brick wall. Despite countless warnings in recent years about the need to address a potential hunger crisis in poor countries and an energy crisis worldwide, world leaders failed to think ahead. The result is a global food crisis. Wheat, corn and rice prices have more than doubled in the past two years. And oil prices have increased more than three times since the start of 2004.These food-price increases, combined with increasing energy costs, will slow if not stop economic growth in many parts of the world and will even affect political stability. Practical solutions to these problems do exist, but we’ll have to start thinking ahead and acting globally.
Here are three steps to ease the current food crisis and avoid the potential for a global crisis. The first is to promote the dramatic success of Malawi, a country in southern Africa, which three years ago established a special fund to help its farmers get fertilizer and seeds with high
productivity. Malawi’s harvest doubled after just one year. An international fund based on the Malawi model would cost a mere $10 per person annually in the rich world, or $10 billion altogether.
Second, the U.S. and Europe should abandon their policies of paying partly for the change of food into biofuels. The U.S. government gives farmers a taxpayer-financed payment of 51 cents per gallon of ethanol(乙醇) changed from corn. There may be a case for biofuels produced on lands that do not produce foods but tree crops, grass and wood products, but there’s no case for the government to pay to put the world’s dinner into the gas tank.
Third, we urgently need to weather-proof the world’s crops as soon and as effectively as possible. For a poor farmer, sometimes something as simple as a farm pond—which collects rainwater to be used in dry weather—can make the difference between a good harvest and a bad one. The world has already committed to establishing a Climate Adaptation Fund to help poor regions climate-proof vital economic activities such as food production and health care but has not yet acted upon the promise.
54. An international fund based on the Malawi model would _____ .
A. cost each of the developed countries $10 billion per year
B. aim to double the harvest in southern African countries in a year
C. decrease the food prices as well as the energy prices
D. give poor farmers access to fertilizer and highly productive seeds
55. With the second step, the author expresses the idea that ______ .
A. it is not wise to change food crops into gas
B. it is misleading to put tree crops into the gas tank
C. we should get alternative forms of fuel in any way
D. biofuels should be developed on a large scale
56. In the passage, the author calls on us to _______ .
A. slow down but not to stop economic growth
B. develop tree crops, grass and wood products
C. achieve economic growth and political stability
D. act now so as to relieve the global food shortage
D
Laws that would have ensured pupils from 5 to 16 to receive a full financial education got lost in the ‘wash up’. An application is calling on the next government to bring it back.
At school the children are taught to add up and subtract(减法) but, extraordinarily, are not routinely shown how to open a bank account —let alone how to manage their finances in an increasingly complex and demanding world.
Today the parenting website Mumsnet and the consumer campaigner Martin Lewis have joined forces to launch an online application to make financial education a compulsory element of the school curriculum in England. Children from 5 to 16 should be taught about everything from pocket money to pensions, they say. And that was exactly the plan preserved in the Children, Schools and Families bill that was shelved by the government in the so-called “wash-up” earlier this month —the rush to legislation before parliament was dismissed. Consumer and parent groups believe financial education has always been one of the most frustrating omissions of the curriculum.
As the Personal Finance Education Group (Pfeg) points out, the good habits of young children do not last long. Over 75% of seven- to-eleven-year-olds are savers but by the time they get to 17, over half of them are in debt to family and friends. By this age, 26% see a credit card or overdraft(透支) as a way of extending their spending power. Pfeg predicts that these young people will “find it much harder to avoid the serious unexpected dangers that have befallen many of their p arents' generation unless they receive good quality financial education while at school.”
The UK has been in the worst financial recession(衰退)for generations. It does seem odd that — unless parents step in — young people are left in the dark until they are cruelly introduced to the world of debt when they turn up at university. In a recent poll of over 8,000 people, 97% supported financial education in schools, while 3% said it was a job for parents.
57. The passage is mainly about _____________.
A. how to manage school lessons
B. how to deal with the financial crisis
C. teaching young people about money
D. teaching students how to study effectively
58. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that __________.
A. the author complains about the school education
B. pupils should not be taught to add up and subtract
C. students have been taught to manage their finances
D. laws on financial education have been effectively carried out
59. The website and the consumer campaigner joined to _________.
A. instruct the pupils to donate their pocket money
B. promote the connection of schools and families
C. ask the government to dismiss the parliament
D. appeal for the curriculum of financial education
60. A poll is mentioned to ___________.
A. stress the necessity of the curriculum reform
B. show the seriousness of the financial recession
C. make the readers aware of burden of the parents
D. illustrate some people are strongly against the proposal

How to Make Friends Friendship is a very important human relationship
and everyone needs good
friends. Good friendship has many benefits. It offers companionship, improves self-worth and promotes good health. There are times in our lives such as when we have recently moved into a new town, or changed our jobs or schools. Such changes often leaves us without a friend. Making new friends comes easy for some people. But for many of us the process is difficult and requires courage. Below are some helpful suggestions on how to make and keep friends.
61. The first step to making friends is associating with other people. You can go to public places
to meet new people. Besides, you will need to make yourself known by becoming an active
member of such places.
62.
Starting
a conversation is the second most important step in making new friends. Do not
wait to be spoken to. You can always start the conversation. Being able to make a small talk is a
very useful skill in relating with other people.
63. Choosing friends with common interests is important in building friendship as these
interests would always bring you and your friend together, Hanging out will always be a
pleasant experience.
64. It is a good thing to stay in touch. However, try not to press your new friend with calls,
messages or visits as this would likely wear him or her out and finally you may lose your friend.
So you will need to give your friend time to react to you. The best friendships are the ones that
grow naturally.
65. The best way to enjoy your friendship is to allow your friends to be themselves. Try not to
find fault with your friends. Try not to change them from who they are to what you want them
to be. Become the kind of friend you will want your friend to be to you.

Last week, my parents and I took a two-days trip to Emei Mountain in Sichuan. As everyone knows，it’s famous mountain with varieties of plants and animals. The weather was fine. It
was about noon that we arrived at the foot of the mountain，the three of them were very excited. As we climbed the mountain，we watched monkeys，visiting temples and told stories. On the way up, I was busy taking picture since the scenery was so beautifully. Time passes quickly. Evening came. We spent the night in a hotel at the top of the mountain. The food was expensive and
the service was good. I was so tired that I fell asleep at the moment my head touched the pillow.

Dear Tom,
I am writing to tell you something about the activity Clean Your Plate Campaign you referred to in your last letter.
In order to let the students realize the value of food, the students are called on to eat up what they buy. Before the campaign, some students are unaware of the wasting of food. They bought much more than they could eat and threw the leftovers, resulting too much waste of food. What’s worse, some students might buy something and just have a taste. If it did not agree with his, he would dump the whole dish into the dustbin. Since carrying out the campaign, almost all the students have started buying smaller dishes or half-portioned ones. They have realized that each grain is from hard work.
From my perspective, it is of great benefit for us to form a good habit of saving food. Do you think so?
Best wishes.
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua。
