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）Why do you go to the library? For books, yes--but you like books because they tell stories. You hope to get lost in a story or be transported into someone else's life. At one type of library, you can do just that--even though there's not a single book.
At a Human Library, instead of books, you can “borrow” people. Individuals volunteer as human “books” and participants in the event can “read” the book--meaning they would have a one-on-one conversation with the volunteer and share in a dialogue about that individual's experience. “Books” are volunteers from all walks of life who have experienced discrimination (歧视) based on race, religion, class, gender identity, age, lifestyle choices, disability and other aspects of their life
For a certain amount of time, you can ask them questions and listen to their stories, which are as fascinating and as attractive as any you can find in a book. Many of the stories have to do with some kind of stereotype. You can speak with a refugee (难民), a soldier suffering from PTSD, a homeless person or a woman living with HIV. The Human Library encourages people to challenge their own long-held beliefs-to truly get to know, and learn from someone they might otherwise make a quick judgment about.
According to its website, the Human Library is “a place where difficult questions are expected, appreciated and answered.” I t provides the opportunity for the community to share and understand the experiences of others in their community.
The Human Library Organization came to be in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2000. Ronni Abergel, his brother Dany, and some colleagues hosted a four-day during a major Northern European festival, hoping to raise awareness about violence among youth. After the success of this event, Abergel founded the Human Library Organization, which has been growing ever since.
Though there are a few permanent human libraries, most aren’t places at all, but events. Though many do take place at physical libraries, you don’t need a library card—anyone can come and be part of the experience. There have been human library events all over the globe, in universities and in pubs, from Chicago to Tunis to Edinburgh to San Antonio.
The stories these "books" tell range from fascinating to heartbreaking and everything in between. And that's the very point of the organization--to prove that no person can be summed up in just one word. It seeks to show people that you truly can't judge a book by its cover---or by its title or label.
1、The “books” in human libraries are____________.
A．long-held beliefs attracting individuals
B．inspiring stones motivating people in trouble
C．events in which people can talk to volunteers
D．unfairly-treated people sharing their experiences
2、The event in Copenhagen is significant because it_______.
A．aimed to help the young suffering from violence
B．attempted to replace traditional physical libraries
C．laid a foundation for the Human Library Organization
D．led to a pleasing development for the community with racism
3、In human libraries, the readers are likely to_________.
A．deepen their understanding of people B．enrich their own personal experiences
C．hear the stories from all over the world D．make quick judgments about the “books”
4、The main purpose of the passage is to _________.
A．compare and evaluate B．inform and explain
C．discuss and persuade D．analyze and suggest
22．（8分）A pretty face is never forgotten. Do you believe so? But maybe it is untrue! Psychologists believe beautiful people are less likely to be recognized. A new study suggests that attractiveness can actually prevent the recognition of faces, unless a pretty face has particularly distinctive features, such as Angelina Jolie’s.
German psychologists think the recognition of pretty faces is distorted (扭曲) by emotions. Researchers Holger Wiese, Carolin Altmann and Stefan Schweinberger at the University of Jena, Germany, discovered in a study that photos of unattractive people were more easily remembered than pretty ones when they showed them to a group of people.
For the study, which was published in science magazine Neuropsychologia, the psychologists showed photos of faces to test subjects. Half of the faces were considered to be more attractive and the other half as less attractive, but all of them were being thought of as similarly distinctive looking. The test subjects were shown the faces for just a few seconds to memorize them and were shown them again during the test so that they could decide if they recognized them or not.
The researchers w ere surprised by the result. “Until now we assumed that it was generally easier to memorize faces which are being considered as attractive, just because we prefer looking at beautiful faces,” Dr. Wiese said. But the study showed that such a connection cannot be easily proven. He assumes that remembering pretty faces is distorted by emotional influences, which enhance the sense of recognition at a later time. The researchers’ idea is backed up by evidence from EEG-recordings (脑电图记录) they used during their experiment which show the brains’ electric activity.
The study also revealed that in the case of attractive faces, considerably more false positive results were detected. In other words, peopl e thought they recognized a face without having seen it before. “We obviously tend to believe that we recognize a face just because we find it attractive.” Dr. Wiese said.
1、What do we know about the photos from Paragraph 3?
A．They were all of pretty faces.
B．They were selected at random.
C．They were not distinctive at all.
D．They were showed twice to the test subjects.
2、What does the underlined phrase “false positive results” in the last paragraph mean?
A．People actually only recognize few pretty faces.
B．People recognize more ugly faces than pretty ones.
C．People claim to recognize a face they have never seen.
D．People recognize fewer faces than they have thought.
3、What can be inferred from the new study?
A．People are reluctant to recognize ugly faces.
B．Beautiful people are particularly distinctive.
C．Attractiveness prevents the recognition of faces.
D．Attractive faces are always easy to be recognized.
4、Which word can show the author’s attitude towards the findings of the research?
A．Doubtful. B．Disapproving.
C．Favorable. D．Objective.

Descriptions
Al
berobe llo
Alberobello, in southeastern Italy, features perhaps the best examples of a kind of dry stone hut with a conical (圆锥的) roof. These modest traditional huts are great examples of ancient building techniques, even though these co nstructions aren’t more than a few centuries old.
R eine
As a part of the Lofoten archipelago in northern Norway, Reine is one of the most beautiful and welcoming places in the north of the Arctic Circle. Surprisingly, mild weather means that locals and travelers alike can take full advantage of the impressive surroundings, whether that means hiking, or admiring the scenery and the unique Fishermen’s huts.

In addition to its location, Eze features a certain medieval (中世纪的) charm, thanks to its many well-preserved centuries-old buildings. Not surprisingly, the fairy-tale village was a favorite of Walt Disney’s

24．（8分）Customers who come into the Waffle House recognize server Evoni Williams, a soft-spoken 18-year-old from Texas City. It all started with a Facebook post. On the morning of March 3, Laura Wolf was eating breakfast at the
Waffle House in La Marque when she overheard an older man, who reminded her of her late father, tell Williams he had trouble with his hands. The man, later identified as regular customer Adrien Charpentier, had an oxygen tank nearby and needed help cutting up his food. “Without hesitation,” Wolf wrote, Williams “took his plate and began cutting up his ham.”
Impressed, Wolf posted the moment on her Facebook page to share the warmth and kindness with all. The following day, Williams’s Facebook notification（关注）began to light up. Her friends saw Wolf’s post and tracked her in it.
Williams had no idea that someone took a photo that morning. The diner was so busy that a line extended outside the door. She said helping Charpentier was reflexive. She has been working at Waffle House since last June to save for college, and this, she figured, was just the right thing to do. “I would want someone to help my grandmother or grandfather,” Wi lliams said.
The post began to make its rounds in La Marque and eventually landed in front of the city’s mayor, Bobby Hocking. He decided to declare March 8 as Williams’s day, and also received an email from Texas Southern University President Austin A．Lane, asking if the school could present Williams with a scholarship.
Williams still works at Waffle House five days a week and plans to do so until she starts classes in the fall at Houston-based Texas Southern. Wolf said Williams does not have a car to get to classes, but some people have offered to start a GoFundMe page for her, proving that a moment of a kindness can change a life.
1、Why did Wolf post the photo on Facebook?
A．The photo reminded her of her late father. B．It could satisfy her inner needs.
C．She was touched by the sight. D．The customer had trouble with his hands.
2、What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Without a second thought. B．After careful consideration.
C．Winning a reward. D．Better serving customers.
3、What can we infer about Evoni Williams?
A．She seldom saw Charpentier come to the House for breakfast.
B．It was GoFundMe page that led to her good luck.
C．She is no longer working in service business.
D．She has probably received a scholarship for her college education.
4、What is the author’s purpose of writing the article?
A．To help Williams receive higher education.
B．To introduce a random act of kindness.
C．To show that young generation can always help.
D．To emphasize the influence of the social media.
25．（10分）It is said that if you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise — and as a result, we are growing old unnecessarily soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of aging could be slowed
down. With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations. Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side parts of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual on economical faculties. Contraction of front and side parts — as cells die off — was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty-and seventy-year-olds. Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to the contraction normally connected with age — using the head.
The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the town. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking (萎缩) brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.
Matsuzawa's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best wa y to maintain, good blood circulation is through using the brain.” he says. “Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators.”
1、The team of doctors wanted to find out ______.
A．the size of certain people's brains
B．how to make people live longer
C．which people are most intelligent
D．why certain people are aging sooner than others.
2、On what are their research findings based?
A．The study of brain volumes of different people.
B．The study of brain volumes of old people.
C．The latest development of computer technology.
D．A survey of farmers in northern old people.
3、The doctors’ tests show that _______.
A．our brains shrink as we grow older
B．the front section of the brain does not shrink
C．sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-olds
D．some people's brains have contracted more than other people's
4、According to the passage, which people seem to age more slowly than the others?
A．Lawyers. B．Farmers.
C．Clerks. D．Shop assistants.

25、Some people may think I’m crazy when I say “work is rest”. But that’s the way it is — we need to rest. Without rest, we will die. At a minimum, we won’t have the energy to work.
Nobody forces us to be so stupid about this. We just don’t know how to rest properly. We rest in ways that are not
restful, even stressful. Some of our ways of rest interfere with our working energy. Instead of sleep, we go to the movies and clubs, drink or have a smoke with friends. This is because we misunderstand the meaning of “rest”.
We should remember that rest means not working, both physically and mentally. Only then is it real rest. When tired, rest. It’s simple. Actually, dogs and cats are smarter about this than people. People are stupid enough to rest in ways that destroy their capacity to work.
Rest and work always go together. There must be a balance: work during the day and rest at night. When the sun comes up, one has plenty of strength to work well and enjoy it. In other words, rest is a kind of investment, so that one has the strength and energy to continue working. So we need rest to work, recog nizing that we can’t have one without the other. Rest is what recharges our batteries. We need enough time to charge up adequately to the tasks we undertake. Thus, we need to rest correctly; otherwise, illness will occur and also can affect the efficiency of our work.
Rest can’t be skimped. Without enough rest, good work is impossible. This is why we say that rest is another kind of work.
5、Which of the following is the best rest according to this passage?
A．Sleeping at home.
B．Drinking or having a smoke with friends.
C．Going to the movies and clubs.
D．Playing cards with family members.
6、We can know from this passage that _____.
A．dogs and cats are smarter than we human beings
B．rest can make us work more efficiently
C．it’s not proper to sleep in the daytim e for people.
D．rest is more important than work for people
7、The underlined word “skimped” in the last paragraph probably means “______”.
A．added B．connected
C．saved D．developed
8、What is the best title for the text?
A．How to Form the Habit of Sleeping B．Why People Need to Rest
C．Sufficient Rest Leads to Success D．Rest is Another Kind of Work

29、Nowadays, going to study abroad is popular with the senior students in China.
Obviously, it has a lot of advantages. The students can study in good conditions in developed countries. Besides, they can learn about different cultures and broaden their horizons as well as raise their ability of living independently. However, never can we ignore the disadvantages. Perhaps most students will find it difficult to communicate with the natives because of the language problem. So they may fall behind in their studies while trying to adapt to the new society. Being alone abroad, they’re sure to be faced with safty problem.
In my opinion, I do think that Chinese students going to study abroad is a good thing, which helps us to know more about foreign countries, but I don't think it necessary for us to do that so early.。
