第二部分阅读理解（共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分）
A
February 4, 2012 saw the take-off of a new rising NBA star---- Jeremy Lin.
Among professional basketball players, Jeremy Lin’s background is not typical. He graduated from Harvard University, which sends few players to the NBA, and he
is the only Chinese-American NBA player. But when you watch him on the court, there is no doubt that he belongs there. He moves with speed and grace that demonstrate years of faithful practice, which is fueled by a love for basketball.
Lin’s enjoyment to basketball actually began in Taiwan. When Lin’s father moved to U.S., his interest in the sport only grew and he passed on this love of basketball to his son, introducing him to the game at the age of five. The young Lin spent much of his youth playing basketball for fun.
In high school, Lin dreamed of playing in the NBA. When he applied for college, he was not offered a single sports scholarship. However, after his admission to Harvard, he was offered a place on its college basketball team.
Durin g Lin’s time at Harvard, his basketball career began to speed up. He scored 1,482 points, making him one of the highest scorers in Ivy League history.
When he graduated, no professional teams offered Lin a contract, but he was invited to play in the NBA Summer League. He played well and ended up eagerly signing a contract with the Golden State Warriors.
At first, playing in professional games filled Lin with excitement. He treasured opportunities to meet players he had been watching on TV for years. But slowly, the excitement wore off and was replaced by anxiety. In a few very difficult months, he was cut by two teams before the New York Knicks picked him up.
But he had the courage and determination to stick to his dream, so he put himself into hard training to get ready for his opportunity to come. Then his moment arrived on February 4, 2012, on which his excellent performance made him famous overnight. After that, he led the Knicks to their fifth straight victory.
The Associated Press called Lin “the most surprising story in the NBA.” Knicks fans developed the nickname for him “linsanity”（林发疯）. Time magazine released its 2012 list of the 100 “Most Influential People in the World”, Jeremy Lin included.

Do you ever wonder why the English have one word for some animals and a different one for their meat？Why do they use pig and pork，cow and beef，and sheep and mutton？To find out，we have to go back to 1066，when the Norman French invaded England and put a French king on the English throne(王位)，which not only changed the government but also changed the language. French became the language of the upper classes of society. And it remained that way for 300 years. Only these high society people could afford to eat meat. As a result，French words like porc(pork) and beouf(beef) came into the English language. However，poor English farmers raised the animals. So the English language retained the words pig and cow from the native Anglo-Saxon.
The Norman French added about 10,000 French words to the English language. Seventy-five percent of them are still in use today. Language experts estimate that English speakers who have never studied French already know 15,000 French words！Between one-third and two-thirds of all English words have French origins. Some words such as possible and avenue are the same in French and English；only the pronunciations change. Other words such as ballet or a la carte (照菜单点菜) retain their French pronunciations in both languages.
In French grammar，nouns have either a male or female gender，so adjectives(形容词) take different forms for each. English has only one adjective that does this，and it came from French. The word blond describes someone with light-colored hair. Blond is used for men，and blonde describes women. And they are also nouns.
Some French words that entered the English language have taken on completely different meanings. The French phrase a la mode means “in style”．In English，the phrase means “with ice cream”．Someone must have decided something eaten with ice cream was in style!
Now, as you learn English, you’re on your way to learning French!
46．French was once popular among the upper classes of the UK because________.
A．too many French moved to Britain
B．French brought animals with them
C．the king and his officials spoke French
D．the king allowed French to be spoken
47．Which word can replace the word “retained” in Paragraph 1?
A．adopted. B．kept. C．introduced. D．deserted.
48．Why does an English speaker find French easy to learn?
A．Because English and French share similar pronunciations.
B．Because English grammar and French grammar are similar.
C．Because a large number of English words have French origins.
D．Because English has great influences on the French language.
49．French grammar is distinct from English grammar in that________.
A．no words have the same pronunciations
B．all words have the same pronunciations
C．English nouns have a male or female gender
D．French nouns have different adjective forms
50．What conclusion can we draw from the text?
A．Language is closely related to history and culture.
B．French and English words have nothing in common.
C．Language is controlled by the upper classes of society.
D．English combines French and the native Anglo-Saxon.

The dyed bun scandal (染色馒头丑闻) deals another blow to shoppers' confidence in buying food products, as well as the reputation of local sellers. Li Zhen reports on shoppers’ reactions in Shanghai.
An investigation by the municipal government revealed that Shanghai Shenglu Food Company produced more than 3,000 steamed buns daily. These were then sold across the city, including large supermarkets such as Hualian, Lianhua and Dia.
Fewer steamed buns were for sale at this Lianhua Supermarket. More than 32,000 buns were taken off store shelves when the scandal emerged.
Mr. Wang, Sales Manager of Lianhua Supermarket, said, “We removed the dyed steamed buns produced by Shenglu as soon as we learned of the incident. We gave customers who had bought the steamed buns from our outlets refunds with their receipts. Despite the scandal, our sales volume has been fine so far.”
However, most customers we met remained concerned about food safety. Steamed buns are a regular breakfast food for Ms. Gao. She used to buy them mostly from supermarkets because she felt it was in a clean and safe environment.
But now, she has second thoughts about buying the popular snack.
Ms. Gao, Shanghai shopper, said, “I can’t believe that even steamed buns from the supermarkets are no longer safe. The only places I trusted to shop at were major supermarkets and specialist shops. But now even there, product quality cannot be guaranteed. I really don't know where to buy my goods from in the future.
Shoppers at supermarkets who still bought steamed buns said they had few options. “I feel like giving up supermarkets. But I really don’t know where to do my food shopping. I can't make these things myself.” said Ms. Tang, Shanghai shopper.
51. The colored buns were sold in some large supermarkets EXCEPT ______.

C. Shenglu
D. Dia
52. What Ms. Gao and Ms. Tang said suggests that ______.

C. they will never go to supermarkets
D. they feel confused about where to buy safe food
53. The underlined word in the last paragraph can be replaced by ______.
A. choices
B. ideas
C. hints
D. marks

A. Major supermarkets removed the dyed steamed buns.
B. Dyed steamed buns brought great loss to major supermarkets.
C. Famous supermarkets are involved in the bun scandal.
D. Dyed bun scandal hurts consumers’ confidence.

I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling(叛逆).
I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (紧握) at one another's hands for reassurance.
They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger cocoon.
It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market.
These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today's parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.
But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come—with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.
56. In this passage, the author wants to tell ________.
A. teenagers to try to pursue their real selves
B. readers to try to be popular with people around
C. parents to try to control and guide their children
D. people to try to understand and respect each other
57. The author disapproves of rebelling teenagers ________.
A. growing away from their parents
B. following the popularity trend
C. walking a new way on their own
D. turning to their friends for help
58. The phrase “larger cocoon” at the end of the second paragraph refers to ________.
A. the distractive and variable society
B. the dazzling music world
C. the parental care and love
D. the popularity wave in the society
59. What does the author think of advertisements?
A. Convincing.
B. Instructive.
C. Influential.
D. Authoritative.
60. According to the author, what might happen when a teenager stands up
against the popularity wave and follows his/her own path?
A. He/She falls behind the time.
B. He/She loses good friends.
C. He/She faces all kinds of criticism
D. He/She gains valuable popularity.

A sense of humor is just one of the many things shared by Alfred and Anthony Melillo, 64-year-old twin brothers from East Haven who made history in February 2012．On Christmas Eve, 2002, Anthony had a heart transplant(移植)from a 21-year-old donor. Two days before Valentine's Day in 2012, Afred received a 19-year-old heart, marking the first time on record that twin adults each received heart transplants.
''I'm 15 minutes older than him．But now I'm younger because of my heart and I'm not going to respect him,'' Afred said with a grin, pointing to his brother while talking to a roomful of reporters, who laughed frequently at their jokes.
While the twins knew that genetics might have played a role in their condition, they recognized that their _____________________ might have also contributed to their heart problems．''We'd put half a pound of butter on a steak．I overdid it on all the food that tasted good, so I guess I deserved what I got for not dieting properly. '' The discussion moved to Anthony's recovery．In the five years since his heart transplant, he had been on an exercise program where he regularly rode a bicycle for five miles, swam each day, and walked a couple of miles. He was still on medication(药物治疗)but not nearly as much as Alfred, who was just in the early
stage of his recovery.
''Right now I feel pretty young and I’m doing very well ,'' Anthony said．''I feel like a new person.''
Alfred said his goal, of course, was to feel even better than his brother．''But'', he added, ''I love my brother very much．We're very close and I'm sure we'll do just fine.''
