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）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A
Why can’t some people even get an inch of what they dream of being? Blame it on pure dreaming and lack of surrounding goals for achieving their dreams.
Setting goals is very significant part of accomplishing and positive actions. It is like scaling(攀爬) a 200 feet construction and marking in the early hours on what feet you would like to reach at this specific period.
People who set goals literally generate a map of their goal settings in life, marking where they should start, where to pause, where to study a bit, and where and when to end. Once this map comes into being, it allows the map drawer to check where he is in the scheme(安排) of things and whether or not he is making some planning that will take him closer to his goals.
By surrounding goals, people will know how they are doing and what they should be doing to get their goals or dreams in life. They will know if they can relax or if they have to double their efforts when they are falling short of what is expected of them.
Goal surroundings means a person is proactive in dealing with challenges that may affect his plans. Being proactive means one is able to outline possible difficulties that may occur as well as the solutions to these difficulties. By doing this, a person is not easily scared or defeated when challenges occur because he has already prepared for them. He knows they can happen and he has prepared a solution or strategy when that time comes.
Setting goals will enable people to track their progress in whatever hard work they set out to do. It will help people bee more confident in themselves and more motivated to get their plans.
21.The purpose of this passage is to _______________.
A. explain the difference between the two goals.
B. show the importance of surrounding goals.
C. tell us how to set and achieve one’s goals.
D. tell us setting goals makes one confident.
22.The underlined word “proactive” in paragraph 5 may have the closest meaning to “________”.
A. positive
B. careful
C. brave
D. prepared
23.According to the author, one had better ___________ in making a goal in life.
A. take an active attitude
B. create a scheme as a whole
C. consider the possible troubles
D. check where he is frequently
24.From the passage, we can reach the conclusion that___________________.
A. achievements come to those who are well prepared
B. everyone faces the situation which is scaring or threatening
C. the higher one sets his goal, the more achievements he will have
D. success never es to people who always blame
B
Are you stressed out, scared or worried all the time? Do you avoid going to certain places, seeing friends or doing certain things because of your worries? Do your worries keep you awake at night? If you’ve answered yes, you may be suffering from anxiety.
Anxiety is a normal and necessary part of life. Anxiety is your brain’s wa y of telling you about danger. It is anxiety which helps you jump out of the way if a car is speeding towards you. But if it gets out of hand, anxiety can get in the way of your getting on with life and can become a real problem. If this is the case for you, treatment may be a helpful way for you to get your anxiety under control. Anxiety is a normal part of life. Some people may feel uneasy if moving to a new place and some may get overly anxious in certain situations. There are lots of reasons for this. One main reason is after a stressful thing which has happened in your life. So, if you are involved in a car crash, it’s quite likely that you will be more worried than other people around cars and driving.
Being anxious also probably runs in families. If your parents suffer from anxiety then you are more likely to be anxious too. This is probably partly due to genetics, and partly because of how things are when you’re growing up.
Even though people don’t talk about it much, anxiety is one of the most common mental health problems. About 1 in 4 people will have an anxiety problem at some time in their life.If you have an
anxiety problem it’s hard for other people to understand why something that doesn’t worry them, like being in a crowd of people, can be so scary for you. This can make you feel separated and lonely, and may become worse and worse.
The good news is there are lots of excellent treatments available for anxiety. These include taking therapies (疗法) and drugs.
25.Which of the following statements is true about anxiety?
A. Almost everybody has a certain degree of anxiety in certain situations.
B. It’s abnormal for people to get too anxious after a stressful thing.
C. With anxiety you are far away from traffic accidents.
D. When you feel stressed out, scared or worried, you are surely suffering from anxiety.
26.Which of the following reasons for anxiety is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Genetics.
B. Experience.
C. Illness.
D. Environment.
27.The author will most probably talk about ________ following this passage.
A. what is about anxiety
B. how to handle anxiety
C. what causes anxiety
D. when anxiety becomes serious
C
I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”
Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks（地标）in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.
It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They us ually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
28.When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place they usually _________.
A. describe the place carefully
B. refer to recognizable buildings and places
C. show him a map of the place
D. tell him the names of the streets
29.Which is the place where people measure distance in time?
A. New York.
B. Kansas.
C. Los Angeles.
D. Iowa.
30.People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ________.
A. in order to save time
B. as a test
C. for fun
D. so as to be polite
31.What can we infer from the text?
A. It’s useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.
B. People have similar understandings of politeness.
C. It’s important for travelers to understand cultural differences.
D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.
D
Owning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think. It may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and snap photos wherever you are…but it also turns yo u into a workaholic, it seems.
A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the all-singing, all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day. Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles.
The study by technology retailer Pixmania reveals the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours, but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls.
More than 90 percent of office workers have email-enabled phones, with a third accessing them more than 20 times a day. Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers confess(承认) they are on call almost 24 hours a day, with nine out of ten saying they make work emails and calls outside their normal working hours. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m., with more than a third checking their first emails in this period, and a quarter checking them between 11 p.m. and midnight.
Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said, “The ability to access literally millions of apps, keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smartphones invaluable for many people. However, there are drawbacks. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smartphones mean that people literally cannot get away from work. The more constantly in contact we become , the more is expected of us in a work capacity(容量).”
32.What can we conclude from the text?
A. All that glitters is not gold.
B. It never rains but pours.
C. Every coins has two sides.
D. It’s no good crying over spilt milk.
33.The underlined word “accessing” in the third paragraph can be replaced by “________”.
A. calling
B. reaching
C. getting
D. using
34.Which of the following is true according to the text?
A. The average UK working time is between nine and twelve hours.
B. Nine- tenths spent over three hours checking work emails.
C. One-fourth check their first mail between 11 p.m. and midnight.
D. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 a.m. and 8 .am ..
35.What’s the main idea of the te xt?
A. Workaholics like smartphones.
B. Smartphones bring about extra work.
C. Smartphones make our life easier.
D. Employers don’t like smartphones.

Everyone can benefit from better communication. Of course, we know that isn't true, but this shouldn't stop you improving your communication skills. Here are a few tips to help you become a better communicator.
Verbal (口头的) language is only one part of the communication — body language is another. If you ever wanted to know how to tell if someone is lying, body language is the answer. Your body language tells other people what you aren't verbally saying, such as if you are anxious, confident, confused, angry or any other type of emotion or state of mind. If you become great at reading body language, it will help you become a better communicator.
Listen to others
Before you ever begin to speak, take a minute to see if anyone else has something to
say. Listening to others has many benefits, such as allowing you to learn new things or get information that you may later need.
Think before you speak
Your parents probably told you this as a child, but many people still do not take a moment to think about the words they are about to say. There is a time and place for all words and tones of voice.
You will have to practice your communication skills before you can ever become an excellent communicator.
A. To become a better communicator is not an overnight thing.
B. Singing a song for them is good.
C. Become fluent in body language.
D. Don't try to make the conversation go your way.
E. You should decide what you want to get in a conversation before you choose your words.
F. If you are too anxious, you can't look for the right body language to use in communication.
G. In fact, if everybody were excellent communicators, the world would be a much better place.

Teenage years can be confusing for both teenagers and parents．At about 15, many teens start thinking about how they feel about themselves and 37 out how this matches or mismatches what others think of them．Most teens work through this 38by the age of 16or 17.
Often teenagers are treated like 39 bigger children, but they will never become 40and responsible if they are not allowed to make some decisions for themselves．If parents forbid their children from doing something, chances are that they will do it 41without permission anyway．The role of a parent must, therefore, change from that of protector and keeper to that of friend and 42 ．Yet even the most caring parents misunderstand their children sometimes, and some think of teenagers as insecure, stubborn and 43 ．As a result, teenagers always keep their44 .from their parents．Teens often 45 that their parents repeat the same things over and over again and never listen to them．Parents must understand that teens need to be allowed to 46 their side of any problem and express their point of view．
Thus, more private and level-headed communication is needed for the parents．Every parent should try to schedule time to be47 with their child, like taking a short trip together．This time allows parents to talk and listen without48from work or other family members．It might also be good to encourage teens to49important issues at dinner．Discussion time shows teens that parents are interested in them and their lives．
A person’s teen age years are a key time for them to identify their own 50 ,like distinguishing good from evil．Handling and improving communication with teenagers is not easy, but success will be 51 for parents and teens alike．

63.Dear Mike,
I’m sorry to hear that you failed in the last exam. But I have to remind you that nobody can win all the time. So you had better forget the unchangeable fact and focus more energy on future studies. To guarantee success in the next exam, you are advised to do what I will tell you to. First, find out the real reasons why you failed the exam. Only when you know where your mistakes are, will you know how to correct them. Besides, it is wise to turn to your teachers for help. After all, they are experienced. Meanwhile, remember to strike the balance with studies and rest. Adequate sleep and proper exercise will certainly make it possible for you to keep energetic.
How about playing football together this weekend? Surely we will have fun.
Hoping everything will be fine with you.
Yours
Li Hua。
