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）
Ａ
One day I saw Harold, my neighbor, putting some metal sheets around the base of his tree where he kept his bird feeder(喂鸟器). I didn’t understand why until another neighbor explained to me that Harold was trying to keep the squirrels（松鼠）from eating the bird food. By putting the metal sheets around the base, Harold thought the squir rels wouldn’t be able to climb up the tree. The next morning, the food was gone. The following week Harold figured he’d put the bird feeder on a string and hang it from the tip of one of the branches. I believe his thinking as that the squirrel couldn’t go out to the edge of the branch because the branch wouldn’t support the weight thereby（因此）not allowing the squirrel to get to the feeder. Next day, you got it, the food was
gone, too.
I felt sorry for Harold. Although Harold was stronger and smarter than the squirrel, he lacked the one quality that would guarantee him victory--focus. You see Harold thinks about ways of preventing the squirrel from getting the food on occasion, when he has time. The squirrel, on the other hand has its mind on getting that fo od 24 hours a day. The squirrels’ survival depends on it. Survival brings about, not just focus but an intense focus on solving a problem by removing an obstacle.
Success is not about who is stronger. Success is not about who has a better GPA(平均分数). Success is about who is more focused and committed to achieving their objectives. You, the reader, can compete with any person no matter who they may be. The only thing you have to do is commit yourself to focusing on the very subject that interests you.
21.Harold was worried because the squirrel ________.
A. ate his bird food
B. hurt many of his birds
C. could climb the tree quickly
D. reached the end of the branches
22.What made the squirrel succeed according to the passage?
A. Its cleverness.
B. Its fixed attention.
C. Its strength.
D. Its very survival.
23.What does the writer advise you to do if you want to succeed?
A. To be brave enough to compete with others.
B. To try to keep your body healthy.
C. To work much harder than others.
D. To put your heart into what interests you.
B
Halloween is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31, before All Saints Day. The word “Halloween” is a shortening of All Hallows Evenin g, also known as Halloween or All Hallows’ Eve.
Traditional activities include trick-or-treating, bonfires, costume parties, visiting “ghost houses” and cutting jack-o-lanterns.
Halloween has its origins in the ancient festival known as Samhain (prono unced “sah-win”). The festival of Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture. The ancient Gaels believed that on October 31, the boundaries between the worlds of the living and the dead overlapped(重叠) and the dead would come back to life and cause destruction such as sickness or damaged crops.
The festival frequently include bonfire. It is believed that the fires attract the harmful insects to the area which attract bats to the area to eat them. These are additional features of the history of Halloween.
Masks and costumes were worn in an attempt to imitate the evil spirits.
Trick-or-treating, is an activity for children on or around Halloween in which they go on from house to house in costumes, asking for treats such as c andies with the question, “Trick or treat?” Trick-or-treating is one of the main traditions of Halloween. It has become socially expected that if one lives in a neighborhood with children one should buy treat in preparation for trick-or-treaters.
The history of Halloween has evolved. The activity is popular in the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Canada. Bad trick-or-treating has started to happen among children in many parts of Europe. In continental Europe, where the commerce-driven importation of Halloween is seen with more illegal “tricks” and police warnings have further raised doubt about this game and Halloween in general.
24.What does Halloween refer to?

B. All Hallows’ Eve.

25.Why did the dead come back to life in Gaelic culture? Because___________.

You are a new manager at the American branch of your German firm in Chicago．With a few minutes to spare between meetings，you go to get a quick cup of coffee．
“Hey，David，how are you?”one of the senior partners at the firm asks you．
“Good，thank you，Dr．Greer，”you reply．You’ve really been wanting to make a connection with the senior leadership at the firm，and this seems like a great opportunity．But as you start to
think of something to say，your American colleague breaks in to steal your spotlight．“So Arnold”，your colleague says to your boss，in such a casual manner that it makes your German soul cringe(畏缩)，“So what’s your Super bowl prediction? I mean，you’re a Niners fan，right?”
The conversation moves on，and you walk silently back to your desk with your coffee．You know how important small talk is in the U．S．，and you feel jealous of people who are your colleague who can do it well．

Small talk．
What can you do if you are from another culture and want to learn to use small talk in the U．S．to build relationships and establish trust? Work hard to hone(磨练)your own version of American-style small talk．Watch how others do it．You don’t have to mimic what they do；in fact，that would likely backfire because people would see you as inauthentic．But if you can develop your own personal version，that can go a long way toward making you feel comfortable and competence．

You can’t alway s predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belvacv doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.
The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street a nd saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞蓬) built into a street lamp.” he said.
The lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors(传感器) then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.
In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360° motion sensor on the biberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone’s using the lampbrella. After three minutes o f not being used the canopy is closed.
According to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike. Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.
While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyacv says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on my street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.
32. For what purpose did Belyacv create the lampbrella?
A. To predict a heavy rain.
B. To check the weather forecast.
C. To protect people from the rain.
D. To remind people to take an umbrella.
33. What do we know from Belyacv’s words in Paragraph 2?
A. His creation was inspired by an experience.
B. It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.
C. Street lamps are protected by canopies.
D. He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.
34. What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the lampbrella?
A. Its moving speed.
B. Its appearance.
C. Its installation.
D. Its safety.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The designer will open a company to promote his product.
B. The lampbrella could be put into immediate production.
C. The designer is confident that his creation is practical.
D. The lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.
But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when online. 36 Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.
For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 37
If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. 38 You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages. If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
39 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manne rs yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else.40 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.
It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.
A. Everyone was new to the network once.
B. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.
C. But try not to do so.
D. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.
E. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the
person’s face.
F. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.
G. It’s natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.

根据文章最后一句中的“---commit yourself to focusing on the very subject that interest you”可知，如果我们想要成功就要全身心的投入。

34. D主旨大意题。

根据第五段中的关键词so as not to cause harm…以及protect…from…，可知此发明体现了其安全性。

Dear Mary,
I’ve come back home safely. Looking back to my stay in Britain, I felt so happy and satisfied. The beautiful scenery and friendly people impressed me a lot. I also benefited a lot from learning together with local students. More importantly, your help and kindness made it easier for me to have a better understanding of British culture and adapt to the life there. So I’m so grateful to you.
By the way, attached to the letter are two photos taken with you, which I believe will remind you of the happy time we spent together.
You are expected to come to China soon.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours
