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）Recently I paid a visit to Harvard University, where there are top class scientists and professors and the best academic system in the world.
I was pretty shocked when I first stepped onto the campus. Well, it's not even really a campus. It's more like a district in
a small town.
Harvard's main buildings are from the 18th century. They look very old and simple. You might even say they're a little shabby. They don't fit the modern idea of university at all. The buildings are surrounded by grass and trees, so I felt as if I had walked into a medieval castle. But when I looked across the street, busy shops and in-fashion students made me feel like I was in the 21st century again. It creates a strong contrast and brings a special atmosphere to the school.
Our tour guide Gary took us around and told us: "You see this grass field in the center of the school? Here is where they host their graduation ceremony. They just set up tents and benches and have a very simple ceremony. Unbelievable! Who would think the most talented students just graduate on the lawn?
I saw some students put a blanket on the grass and lie down to read a book. When I listened to the soft sound of pages turning, along with chirping of the birds, I felt very calm. There was no competitive feeling at all.
Harvard has the world's first computer in its science center and there are hundreds of high-end computers too. Its religion and the literature departments are also among the best. It is the perfect mix of tradition and new technology. It makes Harvard a very attractive place to study in.
I hope one day I'll attend my dream school—Harvard.
1、The article is mainly about_____________.
A．the author's campus life in Harvard B．the author's impression of Harvard
C．Harvard's old buildings D．the academic system at Harvard
2、The author was most impressed by_____________, according to the article.
A．Harvard's mix of tradition and new technology
B．the classes held on beautiful lawns at Harvard
C．Harvard students not taking their graduation ceremony seriously
D．the feeling of not living in modern society on the campus
3、What can we conclude from the article?
A．Harvard campus is actually a district of a big city.
B．There are no competitions at Harvard University.
C．Graduation ceremonies are not complex at Harvard.
D．All Harvard buildings date back to the 18th century.
4、Accord to the article, in which fields is Harvard top in the world?
A．Literature, arts, and law. B．Religion, law and arts.
C．Literature, arts and computer science. D．Religion, computer science and literature. 22．（8分）Ferry Services Fare Table

23．（8分）Can I talk about salary at work? In a word:yes.As HR company Insperity put it in a recent blog post:Can your employees discuss their salaries or wages with their co-workers? Y es.Even if you have a company policy against it? Y es.
The freedom to discuss your salary at work is a protected right under federal labor law.The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 protects your right to discuss the conditions of your employment，including issues related to safety and pay，even when you're not protected by a union.
Talking about salary with colleagues can be uncomfortable，since there's such a taboo about discussing money
matters，but it's an important step towards achieving equal pay for equal work.One barrier，however，stems from how we think of our own financial worth.Too many people I talk to wrongly consider their salary a reflection of their worthiness，a statement about their skills，experience，or value.At the end of the day，if we can all separate our
self-worth from our salaries a bit more，it'll become easier to talk frankly with our colleagues.
Asking about money outright can be tough，so one trick I've picked up along the way is to ask for your colleagues to confirm or deny.For instance，you might volunteer your salary first and ask“Does that sound about right to you?”by way of comparison.Or，let's say you're interviewing for a promotion to become a manager.You might ask a fellow manager about the kind of salary you should expect by saying，“I'm seeing salaries for this kind of position ranging from $65，000 to$70，000—does that seem accurate to you?”This way，even if your colleague isn't comfortable sharing their salary outright，they can help you identify if your expectations are on point or way off.
1、What makes co-workers uncomfortable to talk about salaries?
A．The safety issue.
B．The federal 1abor law.
C．The wrong idea about salaries.
D．The reflection of their worthiness.
2、What does“taboo”underlined in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．A prohibited practice.
B．A religious belief.
C．A general agreement.
D．A social custom.
3、What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4？
A．One of my interview experiences.
B．My way of asking about money.
C．The method of raising questions.
D．An example of getting promoted.
4、What can be the best title for the text?
A．How to Discuss Salaries at Work
B．Ways of Talking about Salaries
C．Do Salaries Stand for Self-worth?
D．Can Salaries be Talked about at Work?
24．（8分）Many of the world’s most people were once successful failures. Here are the stories of a few of them.
Abraham Lincoln(1809-1865)
Abraham Lincoln was one of America’s greatest leaders, tak ing the country through the Civil War(from 1860 to 1865). However, his life was never easy. He started numerous businesses that failed, he went bankrupt twice, and was defeated in 26 campaigns for public office. He later said, “My great concern is not whet her you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.”
Vincent Van Gogh(1853-1890)
Van Gogh is one of the most famous and influential painters in the history of Western Art. He’s renowned for paintings such as The Starry Night. The potato Eaters and Sunflowers. However, during his lifetime, Van Gogh sold only one painting for a very small amount of money. Despite this, he carried on painting, something even going without food so he could complete his collection of over 800 known works.
Albert Einstein(1879-1955)
Albert Einstein won the Noble Prize in Physics in 1921. However, he wasn’t always considered a “genius”. He didn’t speak until he was four, and couldn’t read until he was seven. His teachers and parents thought he as slow, so he was exp elled from school and couldn’t get into the Zurich Polytechnic School. He later famously said, “Success is failure in progress.”
Stephen King(born 1947)
Stephen King is one of the best-selling authors of all time, but his first book, Carrie, was rejected by about 30 publishers. Eventually, Stephen threw it in the bin, but his wife fished it out and encouraged him to resubmit it, which he did…successfully this time!

“More students of different backgrounds have access to higher education, but that you got in doesn’t mean you have the support coming from home t o keep you in,” said Patrick Jefferson, UHD”s assistant vice president for student affairs.
“Many of the students come after work, take their class, then they go home, and they don’t leave their challenges at the front door,” said Jefferson. “We’re recognizing that we just can’t ay. ‘We only worry about our students’ academic challenges.’ We have to think about the student as a whole person.”
The majority of donations to Lone Star’s food pantry have come from teachers and students. The food pantry is open from noon until 3 p. m. on Tuesdays and Fridays, but students can request it at another time if needed. Nearly 590 students have used the pantry since it opened last fall.
San Jacinto College has been offering food pantry services twice a month to students since 2013. The college sends a bag of items on certain days and has received more than 1,000 student requests since it began. It allows students from all income levels to request food.

29、Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Li Hua, a customer of your restaurant. I am writing to you because of the unpleasant experience we had in your restaurant.
Last Friday, I booked a table near the window for dinner in your restaurant in advance because I was to treat my two American friends to a typical Chinese meal. But I was quite disappointed at your service. We went there at the time as arranged, only to be told there were no seats available. What annoyed us most was that when we explained it to the waitress, instead of helping us solve the problem, she shouted at us rudely. Besides, when we began our dinner, we found the food not fresh and some dishes were too salty.
Thus, it is my sincere hope that you can look into the case and take some measures to prevent such things happening again. I’d appreciate it if you could give me a reasonable explanation as soon as possible.
Yours,
Li Hua。
