第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
A
My friend and I recently returned from our week at the beach. While we were there, a couple of us needed to pick up a few things at the store.
As we were checking out, the cashier praised me for my necklace. I thanked her, and she asked where I bought it. I had gotten it at the department store just down the street. It was on sale for 40% off. My friend suggested that she should walk over and buy one during her break. But the cashier said she couldn’t afford it right now.
As we left the store, I told my friend I was going to buy one for the cashier. She agreed, and offered to pay for half. So we went back to the department store and picked out a matching necklace for the cashier. As we paid for it, the sales lady noticed that I was wearing the same one. “You must really like this necklace,” she said. We told her whom we were buying it for. To our surprise, the sales lady knew her! She said, “She’s going through a hard time right now and has to drive a long way to work. With gas prices so high, surely it isn’t easy.” With excitement, we took the gift back to the store and handed her the gift. She knew immediately what we had done and smiled at us with gratitude.
As we drove home today, we discussed how that act of kindness probably meant more to us than it did to the recipient（接受者）. It feels so good to do nice things for others. I grew up poor. I never dreamed as a little girl that I would be able to help others.
21. Why did the cashier ask the writer about the necklace？
A. Because she wanted to buy one at that time.
B. Because she admired the necklace very much.
C. Because she wanted a man to buy one for her.
D. Because she knew the owner of the necklace store.
22. How did the writer pay the matching necklace？
A. She just paid for half.
B. She paid the full price.
C. She asked her friend to pay it.
D. She asked the sales lady to pay it.
23. The underlined word “gratitidue ” in paragraph 4 most probably means______.
A. doubt
B. strength
C. loneliness
D. thankfulness
24. How did the writer feel after buying a gift for the cashier？
A. She regretted a little.
B. She was a little worried.
C. She felt it a surprise.
D. She felt it was nothing.
B

We all know boys are always taught to be brave while girls are the delicate flowers. Well, we have all been through it. When you meet a male（男性）friend who uses a pink lighter or wears a pink shirt, will you think of the word “feminine（女性化）”？ Once one of my classmates came to my house. He came in and kept staring at my room, confused. Then he commented, “Your room looks like a candy shop, and it reminds me of my sister’s dollhouse!” I did not know how to react him. Yes! The room was pink, everywhere. The curtains, the doormat, the cupboard, the dustbin and lots of my things were pink. I did not do it consciously（有意识地）. I just pick out the pretty things from the store. Why do most girls like only pink？
According to scientists, the simple explanation why girls like pink so much is that in the past, the role of a woman was a food gatherer and berries were the main food for humans. Fruits, especially berries, mostly had purplish, reddish or pinkish colors that standed for ripeness（成熟）. Scientists thought that women developed a better color vision than men to spot（挑出）fruits in a thick and green forest by becoming hard-wired to pick out red and pink over centuries.
Also, women easily express their emotions. When a woman feels ashamed or shy, her cheeks appear flushed（脸发红） with blood and her skin become red. Since women have basically been nurturers, they are sensitive to all shades of pink and red. For a long time, the color pink has been associated with beauty and women.
28.What made the author’s classmate confused？
A. The color of things in her room.
B. The furniture in her room
C. Too many dolls in her room
D. Too many candies in her room
29.What can we learn from Paragraph 1？
A. The author’s room was in a mess
B. The author liked things in pink only
C. The author’s classmate didn’t like pink
D. The author chose things in pink unconsciously.
30.According to scientists, women like pink because of __________
A. women’s preference for beauty
B. the role women played in the past
C. the fruits women found in the past
D. women’s expression of their emotions.
31.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text？
A. To tell reader a story
B. To state her own experience
C. To explain why women like pink
D. To introduce a way to pick out fruits.
D
One in five children sleepwalks（梦游） regularly and at least 40% have done it at least once. As we get older it becomes rarer, but 1-2.5% of adults still do it.
One piece of advice about sleepwalking which many may have heard is that it is dangerous to wake a sleepwalker, and that waking them up will harm them.
During the night we experience various stage of sleep, beginning with a period of light sleep which we also called Rapid Eye Movement（REM）. REM deepens considerably within 20 minutes or so, and then becomes a bit lighter again. This cycle（循环）then repeats several times throughout the night.
The time when you are most likely to dream is during REM sleep. During this stage you often try to prevent yourself from acting out your dreams, but sleepwalking takes place during the much deeper sleep. It is a curious state. The brain is active enough for you to move, but not so active that you wake up. A recent study made in Niguarda Hospital in Milan, Italy examined the
brain waves of people who were used to sleepwalking and found that some parts of the brain are awake, while others are sound asleep. The result suggested sleepwalking is caused by an imbalance between these two states.
So what should you do if you find your relatives sleepwalking？
For a start, they are in such a deep sleep that they will probably not notice you, even if you try to wake them. Waking a sleepwalker will not cause them to have a heart attack, but the kindest things to do is try not to wake them at all. Lead them gently back to the bed so that they do not hurt themselves. They will remain deeply asleep, and it is likely that they will not remember
a thing in the morning.
32.Which kind of the following people are least likely to sleepwalk？
A. Children
B. Young people
C. students
D. people in their fifties.
33.According to the passage, REM ________.
A. is a kind of deep sleep
B. is caused by sleepwalking
C. lasts about 20 minutes
D. is the first stage of sleep
34.If your little brother is sleepwalking, which of the following is the most suitable method you can take？
A. To try to wake them up
B. To guide him into the bedroom
C. To tell him this next morning
D. To persuade him to go to sleep
35. Where does this passage probably come from？
A. Science story
B. A science report
C. An advertisement
D. Children’s story
