三、阅读理解（共2节；满分35分）
第一节阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从26～40各题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 percent of what we really mean while words only express 7 percent. So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying…
Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive you are to people you meet. If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes your way. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you’re unhappy!
Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are a monitor in class, you can also take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously. However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little.
Legs. Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies. If you are at interviews, try to keep them still!
Posture (姿势). A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling down, you normally don’t sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult, which can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.
Mouth. When you are thinking, you often purse (皱起) your lips. You might also use this position to hold back an angry comment you don’t wish to show. However, it will probably still be noticed, and people will know you’re not pleased.
Face. When you lie, you might put on a false face. But that expression would crack briefly,
allowing displays of true emotions such as happiness, sadness, disgust (厌恶) and fear to come through.
26．When someone is keeping his arms behind his back, he tries to tell you that _________.
A. he is outgoing
B. he is angry
C. he is not afraid
D. he is cool
27．Which of the following movements tells someone is nervous?
A. Moving around a lot more than normal.
B. Not sitting straight with the shoulders inwards.
C. Having the lips pursed to hold back an angry comment.
D. Keeping the arms to the sides of the body.
28．What can we infer from the passage?
A. Different people in different countries must have the same understanding of the same
body movement.
B. Body language can express more meanings than words do in communication.
C. We cannot communicate with others without words.
D. It’s not polite to use body language in formal communication.
B
Some of you have watched a Superman cartoon or film. But did you know he first appeared in comics? Want to learn more about popular comic books around the world? Take a look!
Do you find reading boring? Have a read of some comic books. You will learn to love their colourful pictures and simple language.
Comic books usually tell stories through cartoons. The USA and Japan have some great comic books. But they are not the same.
Their names are different. People say “comic books” in the USA but “manga” in Japan.
American comics are often about superheroes like Superman and Spider-man. Japanese manga likes to tell stories of ordinary people. Luffy in One Piece (《海贼王》) is such an example.
American comics make people excited with super powers, while Japanese manga comforts people with heartwarming stories. Natsume’s Book of Friends is about a teenage boy. He can see spirits. He is confused at first but later he makes friends with spirits.
If you are not interested in these two kinds, why not try some from China? Xia Dais a great
comic book artist from China. Some of her comics are about school life. Others show the beauty of Chinese culture.

Then Alice saw a small glass table. There was a little golden key on it. She picked it up and put it in all the locks on the doors but it didn’t open any of them. She moved a curtain on one of the walls and discovered another door, a very small one. She put the key in the lock. It was exactly the right size! She opened the door and looked through it. At the end of a low passage she saw a beautiful garden. It was full of brightly coloured flowers and fountains.
“Oh, how beautiful!” she said. “I’d love to go there but I’m too big to get through the door.” She walked back to the table. There was a bottle on it now.
“I’m sure that bottle wasn’t there before,” she said, a little confused.
She put down the key and picked up the bottle. She read the words “DRINK ME” on it. Alice wasn’t a stupid girl. She didn’t drink it immediately. First she looked at the bottle carefully. There wasn’t a label on it that said “POISON”.
So she put the bottle to her lips and drank.
“Mmm, it’s nice,” she said. It tasted like cherry tart, pineapple, roast turkey and toast -- all the things that she liked to eat -- so she drank some more. And some more. Soon the bottle was empty.
“What a curious feeling,” she said. “I’m getting smaller and smaller,” It was true! She was now as small as her cat Dinah,
“Good! I can go trough the door into the garden,” she said. But, poor Alice! When she got to the door, she didn’t have the key! It was on the table. She couldn’t reach it because she was too small now. She sat down and cried.
After a while she said, “Alice!” “Stop crying! Crying doesn’t help! Dry your tears immediately!”
When she looked at the table again, she saw a small glass box under it. She picked it up and opened it. There was a small cake inside. It had the words “EAT ME” on it.
She put a small piece of it in her mouth.
“If I grow bigger I can reach the key,” she thought. “If I grow smaller I can go under the door.”
But nothing happened so she finished it.
33．From the passage we can know that _________.

With China’s large population and increasing urban (城市的) Space, the cost of electricity is rising in cities. So the Chinese government is preparing to send the world’s first artificial (人造的) moon to space.
The man-made moon is, in fact, a satellite. It carries a huge space mirror so that it can throw back sunlight to the Earth. The moon will fly about 500 kilometres above Chengdu, a south-western city of China, and work like the Moon at night. Since it runs much closer to the Earth than the Moon, it’s much brighter and there will be no need to use street lights in the city. According to scientists Chengdu can save around 174 million dollars in electricity if the man-made moon brightens 50 square kilometres of the city.
For now, the artificial moon is sill going through testing. Although it has many advantages, quite a lot of people think that creating more artificial light is harmful to the environment, as light pollution is a growing problem in our modern world. Actually there is no need to worry. Chinese scientists say the mirror on the moon can be controlled, so they can decide its direction, brightness and so on. They can even turn it off when needed. Moreover, when the man-made moon works, people will see only a bright star above. It won’t be a giant moon as imagined.
Several countries, including China, are all looking to use energy from space, and artificial moons have been under discussion for some time. In 1999, Russia tried sending a space mirror into space, but it failed. And later the project was cancelled, according to the New York Times. And now, it seems that space light has come closer.
37．China will send the man-made moon to space to _________.
A. study the Moon
B. explore space
C. save energy
D. protect the Earth
38．What is the second paragraph mainly talking about?
A. How the man-made moon works.
B. How the man-made moon was created.
C. How scientists control the man-made moon.
D. How the man-made moon throws back sunlight.
39．What can we learn about the man-made moon from the passage?
A. It looks huge from the Earth.
B. Three will be sent to space in 2020.
C. It is designed to work at night only.
D. Russia is the first country to send it to space.
40．In which column of a newspaper can we probably find the passage?
A. NATURE
B. ENVIRONMENT
C. SOCIETY
D. SCIENCE
