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, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
Even in the fanciest pizza restaurant, you will never feel weird if you ask for a box to take your leftovers (剩饭）home. In Italy, that will soon apply everywhere, with a new law that encourages restaurants to give people doggy bags, although in Italy it's called a "family bag."
The new law is designed to reduce food waste and open doors to companies wishing to donate wasted food. Family bags were made to avoid embarrassment at asking for leftovers, turning it from begging into good behavior.
In the U.S., taking uneaten food home is normal. In the U.K. it is fairly common. To the south, though, this practice is rare. In Spain and Italy, people might take the bones from their meat and give them to their dogs, but culturally, it's not the done thing. Also, there aren't often many leftovers, as dishes are sized according to how much people will actually eat and are rarely too big to finish unless you over-order.
In France, the laws are tougher. Last year, the French began to forbid supermarkets to throw away food. They must either give it away to charity, or make it available to be used as animal feed and compost(堆肥），If they fail to follow the law, they will be fined.
Perhaps Italy's new law is right. Food waste is now attracting international attention, but the only way to really stop it lies in whether individuals are willing to change their ways. If it becomes socially unacceptable to waste food, or to serve a huge portion in restaurants, then we have a chance.
21.What does the underlined word “weird” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Difficult.
B. Strange
C. Relaxed.
D. Disappointed.
22.Why do the Spanish seldom take leftovers home from restaurants?
A. They don’t bother to do it.
B. It is their custom to eat food up.
C. It is not acceptable in their culture.
D. They usually order small portions.
23.According to the author, how can we reduce food waste?
A. By introducing stricter laws.
B. By donating food to the needy.
C. By restauran ts only serving small portions.
D. By everyone taking action and saying no to it.
24.What’s the text mainly abou t?
A. Way of reducing food waste.
B. Italy’s plans to use family bags.
C. How doggy bags come into being.
D. The increasingly serious food waste.
B
There is one type of illness in the world that has a severe effect on more people than anything else and is very deadly. If untreated, this illness could affect everything you do. What is this illness? Depression. Serious depression requires professional treatment. Self-induced depression is something each of us can change. Everyone’s circumstances are different, but the causes of self-induced depression are common: low self-esteem, hurtful thinking and a bad attitude.
So how can we change the way we think, feel, and have a cheerful attitude?
First we must look at ourselves, truly and honestly examining our motives for what we wish to accomplish. If you are dissatisfied because you feel you haven’t or can’t do anything, then one step is needed—to set goals.
Always start your goals relatively small and easy to attain. Think of them as sand; one grain may be insignificant(微不足道的) but as a group they form the beach. Once you have set and attained small goals for yourself, move on to slightly larger, more challenging goals.It takes not just setting goals but positive thinking. How can we obtain this?
There are a number of factors that can make us think negatively and one of those is diet.In my opinion, a person who eats a lot of take-out and fast food is feeding their body junk. Start by eating better foods which give the body much NEEDED minerals. If your physical body is happy, it’s much easier for your mental body or “thinking ability” to be happy.[
Next, exercise. Half an hour a day is recommended for positive well-being. Then think about good memories you had, or generally think of things that make you smile. Remember, everything you wear costs money but to wear a smile is free. A smile can be the difference between an average day and a great day.
If you follow these steps, positive change is on the way.
25.Which of the statements about depression is TRUE?
A. Depressi on is a kind of illness that can’t be cured like some cancer.
B. Depression can all be cured successfully by doctors in an easy way.
C. Those who suffer from depression live in the same circumstances.
D. Those who suffer from depression hold negative attitudes.
26.According to the passage we can learn that ________.
A. a practical goal can help people to achieve a sense of success
B. we shouldn’t be satisfied with small goals that are insignificant
C. we should avoid challenging goals that may result in failure
D. people can enjoy happiness even if they set inappropriate goals
27.What can we infer from the reading passage?
A. Those who can achieve small goals can surely achieve big ones.
B. Depression has something to do with the food people eat.
C. You can only exercise half an hour if you want to get rid of depression.
D. Smile makes no sense to the feeling in daily life.
C
“Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy –they’re given after all. Choices can be hard.” –– Jeff Bezos. I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. I’d never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and I’d been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn’t work since most start-ups don’t, and I wasn’t sure what to expe ct. MacKenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I’d been a garage inventor. I’d always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.
I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central
Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “That sounds like a really good
ide a, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t already have a good
job.” That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for
48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult
choice, but ultimately (最后), I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn’t think
I’d regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision
to not try at all.
After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, a nd I’m
proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choices.
28.What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?
A. His dream of being an inventor.
B. The support of his wife.
C. The greatly increasing usage of the Internet.
D. Millions of exciting titles.
29.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?.
A. The idea of not trying would keep coming to his mind and disturb him.
B. He would be very excited if he tried it out.
C. He would be always having a doubt if he didn’t try.
D. The decision to not try the online bookstore would terrify him.
30.We can know from the passage that _______.
A. the boss thought the idea was suitable for the author
B. the author wanted someone else to try the idea
C. the author might not regret if he failed the idea
D. the author might go back to his boss if he failed
31.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Cleverness and Kindness
B. The Starting of Amazon
C. Following My Passion
D. We Are What We Choose
D
Christmas Eve was tomorrow. I hoped one of the packages that held a camera had already
been placed under the Christmas tree. It was the only thing I wanted. I had been
dropping hints to my parents. I love taking photos. My bedroom walls are covered with photos I had taken with my mom’s old camera. I’m always trying to capture(捕捉) those perfect moments in which you can hear the laughter or touch the beautiful scene, but my camera has always seemed to fall short.
I knew Mom had put a few presents under the tree this morning, so I went on a hunt in my mom’s room. I opened the door and found my Christmas present was lying unwrapped on the floor — a big pink cat. I felt so disappointed.
Mom seemed to notice that, and she tried to cheer me up. “Stacy, I got your present today. I am so excited to surprise you!” “I can’t wait,” I said. The next day I couldn’t wait any longer. I needed to tell her.
”Mom, may I talk to you for a second?”
“Sure, dear. What do you need to talk about?” she asked.
And so it came — how upset I was that I was getting a cat.
“Stacy, that cat is for your sister Julia!” she said with a smile.
“Then what am I getting?” I asked.
She just smiled. “You’ll have to wait and see.”
Next morning, I happily got into the living room and sat next to the tree. I pulled out the box with my name on it and opened the wrapping paper to find…
My camera! “Thank you!” I said to both Dad and Mom.
Dad picked up the camera and took a picture of Julia, Mom and me. It has become one of my favorite pictures. Just on that Christmas morning, I took lots of photos with my camera — my little sister making a face, my parents giving me a soft smile —and all of these photos have come to mean one thing to me: LOVE.
32.The underlined phrase “dropping hints” in Paragraph 1 means ________.
A. talking often
B. sending presents
C. suggesting indirectly
D. taking pictures
33.Why did Stacy feel disappointed at first?
A. Her mother couldn’t understand her at all.
B. Her mother didn’t buy her any Christmas gift.
C. She mistook her sister’s Christmas gift for hers.
D. She didn’t find her present in her mom’s room.
34.We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. her mother bought Stacy a big pink cat
B. her mother knew what gift Stacy wanted
C. Stacy thought it’s OK to have an old camera
D. Stacy finally got her gift on C hristmas Eve
35.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. A Christmas gift as wished
B. Love is more important than gifts
C. A wonderful Christmas
D. Love cannot be bought

A few things to do during weekends
to improve your life
Weekend at last! Something you’re so looking forward to after a tiring week at work. Here are several tips on how to make the most of your weekends.
Spend time with loved ones. Reconnect with family members or friends you neglected(疏忽) lately. Don’t do it out of guilt or because you have to. Do it because you want to. Reach out to them to see how they are doing. 36. Return their calls if you were busy when they last tried to reach you. Talk to them. Listen to them. Be there for them.
37. Stay away from TV, iPad, iPhone and any other electronic devices. Unplug! Your brain needs to clear up from all the stress you’ve put on yourself during the week. Why not read a book instead? A paper one. Seriously, when was the last time you did that?
Laugh, laugh and laugh again. You can never have enough of it. Laugh is the best medicine ever. 38. For example, it helps you manage stress, strengthen your immune system and you are 40 percent less likely to suffer a heart attack.
Express appreciation. 39. Be grateful for your family, friends, health, the food you put on the table, the clothes you wear and the air that you breathe.
There you are. Doing a few things during weekends will have a positive long-term effect on your life. 40. .
A. Apply the “no technology” rule.
B. Pause and pay attention to your thoughts.
C. Friendship is the best source of happiness.
D. Don’t call them only when you nee d them.
E. Put them into practice and you’ll beat the Monday Blues.
F. It benefits your mental and physical health in so many ways.

Love Is Blind: The Magic of Tabby
In October, 2003 I started my work at my local animal shelter's Adoption Department. Over the years, more than 50,000 animals have 41 the doors of the shelter. Most of them, I do not remember. But occasionally there are 42 animals, who touch me so deeply that I could never possibly 43 them. Tabby was one such animal. Tabby was an ancient Cocker Spaniel, probably 44 years old. What's more, she was blind and deaf. Tabby's chances at adoption seemed 4 at best. After all, we didn't have many adopters coming in4 5, “Can you show me all of your really old dogs who are also 46?” We had all thought that Tabby would live out the rest of her life at the 47.
One day a woman named Loretta came to the shelter. Her son, Gary, had4 8 Tabby's picture and stories on the shelter's website at home. They were interested in meeting her! It was the only4 9 we ever received about Tabby. What could a young child possibly see in a 14-year-old dog who was both blind and deaf? Most boys would want a dog who could grow with them and 50 through grassy fields on summer days. Tabby would 51 be able to do that. But after meeting her, Loretta and Gary decided that she was the
right dog for their family. They adopted Tabby! If Tabby's story had simply ended with her 52 adoption, it would still have been something very special indeed. 53, it was what happened after her adoption that people might regard as “magic”. Gary 54 from seizures(癫痫). Since Gary and Tabby met they became 55. They did everything together. They became so “in tune” with one another that Tabby began to telegraph Gary's seizures 56 they occurred, giving his family57 that one was about to strike. What's more, Gary seemed to be having fewer and fewer seizures since Tabby's 58. How could it be? Nobody could explain 59 Tabby did it. But those of us who were fortunate enough to know her and her family had60 the magic, the kind that has its roots in love.

Polar bears are suffering in a 61 (warm) world.

Dear Manager,
My name is Li Hua. I stayed at your hotel, Forest Hotel, during my visit to the UK from Jan 28 to 30 with my parents. However, the service in your hotel left much to be desired. I'm writing this email to express my opinion.
First, we found our suitcases broken after they were carried to our room by one of your porters. Second, water was leaking out of the toilet in the bathroom third, the noise from the bar downstairs went on so late into the night each night that we couldn't get good rest.
For the above reasons, I have to say that the service in your hotel is of poor quality. Therefo re, I would like to receive a written apology from you. Meanwhile, I hope you can improve your service in the future so that none of the above happens again.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua。
