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）Baseball was always where my heart lay. However, my father did not care for baseball. Two recreational activities he enjoyed were golfing and fishing, neither of which I considered a real sport. He didn’t talk much and he wasn’t good at expressing himself. Frankly, I wasn’t entirely certain he cared about me. In a way, my father was like a familiar stranger I saw every day.
One day, watching the play on television made me want a glove of my own. To my surprise, my father said he wanted one, too. He was on the portly side, but then again, one of the famous pitchers (投手) on the Mets was even fatter. So I thought, why not?
We bought two gloves, and that evening, he suggested we go out to the courtyard and toss (掷) the ball around. I’d already practiced catching and thro wing at school, but I could tell this was the first time for my father, because every time he caught the ball, it landed directly in his palm. If you’ve ever caught a ball with a baseball glove, you know how much this hurts.
But my father caught ball after ball this way. Slap! Slap! He winced (龇牙咧嘴). After about five minutes, I told him I’d had enough. It wasn’t out of mercy, but for my own self-interest. Neighborhood kids were watching and would no doubt tease me later for having an old man who didn’t know how to properly catch a baseball do that. When my father took the glove off, his palm was red and swollen.
Dad, who passed away 11 years ago, never told me he loved me. But that sound of the baseball landing in the soft flesh of his hand, over and over again—it spoke its own tender language, though at the time, all I felt was shame.
1、What does the underlined word “portly” mean in Paragraph 2? A．Experienced. B．Cool.
C．Famous. D．Fat.
2、What can we learn from the passage?
A．The father didn’t feel hurt when catching the ball.
B．The father didn’t understand his child at all.
C．The au thor didn’t realize his father’s love for him back then.
D．The author criticized his father when playing baseball together.
3、What could be the best title for the passage?
A．A Crying Shame for Baseball
B．Saying “I Love Y ou” with Baseball
C．A Loving Father and His Son
D．Living a Happy Life with Baseball
22．（8分）Not sure what gift to get your loved ones? Think technology! Y ou may even find something special for yourself!

23．（8分）When emergency workers arrive at an old firehouse in New York City, the way they greet each other is not what you might expect. These first responders say," Ni Hao! " "Ni Hao" means "hello" in Mandarin Chinese.
First responders are the first emergency workers to arrive at a fire, traffic accident or other emergency. Some first responders are fire fighters, while others can be Emergency Medical Technicians.
In Brooklyn, New York, over 20 first responders are studying Mandarin Chinese for about two hours a week. The class is the first of its kind. It is offered by the New York City Fire Department Foundation.
The U. S. Census Bureau recently reported that some New York neighborhoods are made up mostly of immigrants. Some people have predicted that the Chinese community is likely to become New York's largest immigrant group. They think the city will have the largest Chinese community outside of Asia.
The Census Bureau also found that almost 200 languages are spoken in the city. So, knowing different languages is important, especially if you are a first responder.
Lieutenant(中尉,少尉) Steve Lee is president of the Fire Department's Phoenix Society. He says that first responders must be able to communicate quickly and effectively when an emergency happens. He explains that first responders enter neighborhoods and communities to assist regardless of where they are from. Many times first responders do not speak the same language as the people they are called to help. He
adds that it is vital, or very important, that first responders are able to communicate with the people calling for help.
Without help from homeowners and others, Lee adds, discovering exactly where a fire is burning can be a real problem. First responders need to ask questions such as "What building? What address? What apartment?" And the most important question," Is there anybody left in the building and where?"
1、Who are first responders according to Paragraph 2?
A．People first learning the disaster. B．Persons leading the emergency rescue. C．Rescuers first reaching the disaster D．People first find the disaster.
2、Why are the first responders in New York studying the Chinese language?
A．To show respect to the Chinese immigrants.
B．To learn about Chinese cultures much better.
C．To meet the rapid growth of Chinese population.
D．To find a better job in Chinese community.
3、What do first responders concern most?
A．The place where the fire occurs. B．The people trapped in the fire. C．The language to communicate. D．The distance covered to the fire.
4、What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Mandarin Being a Must for Emergency Workers
B．New York's Emergency Crews Learning Mandarin
C．Language Problem Disturbing First Responders' Work
D．Importance of Languages Used in Emergency Rescue
24．（8分）Each year，millions of children around the world are unable to go to school. To draw attention to this widespread problem，the United Nations（UN）is putting education first. Recently，the UN screened a documentary film called Back to School. The film is the second in a series of documentaries（纪录片）for the project Time for School.
These films follow seven children from seven different countries. This 12-year project began in 2006，when the children first started school. "This is something we could do to help the education crisis in the world，"said producer and writer Judy Katz. “Doc umentary film-makers can get deeply involved in a problem and do something about it.”
More than 100 million children will never set foot in a school. Sixty percent of those children are girls. Cheryl Faye，head of the UN Girls Education Initiative，spoke about the many factors that prevent girls from getting an education. One problem is the long distance many children must travel to get to school. Also，girls in many cultures are traditionally expected to marry early and work to help their families. “We need t o make a special effort for girls，”Faye said.
As part of the UN's Millennium goals，the organization wants every single child to get at least an elementary education by 2018.
Students from Lawrence Middle School in New York were deeply moved after they saw the film. The seventh grade class is raising money to help build a library on the outskirts of Nairobi，Kenya（肯尼亚），where Joab-a child in the documentary-lives. The class teacher，Karen Weiner，and the class are known in their school as the “Kenya crew”. All the kids were really happy to support Joab and said they felt great about their fund-raising efforts. Like the seventh graders at Lawrence Middle School，kids can work together to make a difference in places like Nairobi. By raising money for education，kids can help children on the other side of the world have a chance of a better，happier life.
1、What's the purpose of the UN screening the documentary film Back to School？A．To raise funds for global education.
B．To raise awareness of the need for global education.
C．To encourage all the children to come back to school.
D．To show the achievements which have been made in the past few years.
2、Special efforts should be made for girls because ____________
A．sixty percent of the children in the world are girls
B．more than 100 million girls will never go to school
C．most of the girls are tired of going to school
D．more than one half of the children who never go to school are girls
3、Which of the following could NOT be the factor that prevents girls from getting an education？
A．Long distance from school. B．Being born weak.
C．Helping work for the family. D．Early marriage.
4、Why are the class teacher，Karen Weiner，and the class considered as “Kenya
crew” ？
A．Because they are trying their great efforts to raise money for the education of Kenya Children.
B．Because they are actors in the documentary film Back to School.
C．Because they are mostly from Kenya，where the child in the documentary lives. D．Because they all have the same experience as Joab，the Kenya child.
5、The last paragraph mainly discusses__________________
A．American middle school students' desire to go to Kenya
B．the content of the documentary film Back to School
C．an example of being inspired to take action after seeing the film
D．how students from Lawrence Middle School raise money for their education 25．（10分）British Museum
