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）
( A )
Earth’s next superpower
The following countries have been sitting on hidden talents. And now they’re about to fly. NIGERIA(尼日利亚)
Nigeria says it pumps out as much oil as the other two oil-producing countries, Kuwait and Iraq. All this oil is cycling cash into the Nigerian economy and creating extremely rich businessmen. Analysts say that if Nigeria can improve its schools and technology, it could balloon into the world’s 13th largest economy by 2050, right between Turkey and Italy. If that reason is not enough for optimism, Nigeria’s president also has the sunniest name of any world leader: Goodluck Jonathan.
VIETNAM
As agriculture has given way to industry, unemployment in Vietnam has droped.
What’s Vietnam’s trick? It’s ready to work. Other countries’ laborers aren’t as cheap as they used to be,which makes Vietnam a relative bargain for companies that need new factories abroad. However,the country has almost no railways, its highways are in poor condition, and its largest city has just one airport,which was built before the Vietnam War. So what’s the use of producing export-ready goods if there is no convenient way to ship them? The good thing is, however, officials are widening highways, building a new airport and so on.
CHILE(智利)
Pipes, computers, motors, and your microwave all have one thing in common: They’re made with copper(铜). Copper makes the world go round. And lucky for Chile, it’s got about a third of the planet’s copper supply. It just needs a way to dig it up and the government is pouring money into the country’s mines.
21. Which country will Nigeria be expected to follow in terms of economy by 2050?
A. Kuwait
B. Iraq
C. Turkey
D. Italy
22. What’s the problem Vietnam is facing?
A. It doesn’t have money to build new factories.
B. Its people don’t have enough food to eat.
C. It is suffering from the Vietnam War.
D. Its transport system is very poor
23. What will Chile depend on to get developed?
A. High tech
B. Natural resources
C. Investments from other countries
D. The government’s good administration
( B )
Father’s Garden
My father was always a good(酷爱的) gardener. One of my earliest memories is standing without shoes in the freshly tilled(翻耕的) soil, my hands blackened from digging in the ground.
As a child, I loved following Dad around in the garden. I remember Dad pushing the tiller(耕作机) ahead in perfectly straight lines. Dad loved growing all sorts of things: yellow and green onions, watermelons almost as big as me, rows of yellow corn, and our favorite--- red tomatoes.
As I grew into a teenager, I didn’t get so excited about gardening with Dad. Instead of magical land of possibility, it had turned into some kind of prison. As Dad grew older, his love for gardening never disappeared. After all the kids were grown and had started families of their own, Dad turned to gardening like never before. Even when he was diagnosed with cancer, he still took care of his garden.
But then, the cancer, bit by bit, invaded his body. I had to do the things he used to do. What really convinced me that Dad was dying was the state of his garden that year. The rows and rows of multicolored vegetables were gone. Too tired to weed them, he simply let them be. He only planted tomatoes.
For the first few years after he died, I couldn’t even bear to look at anyone’s garden without having strong memories pour over me like cold water from a bucket. Three years ago, I decided to plant my own garden and started out with just a few tomatoes. That morning, after breaking up a fair amount of soil, something caught the corner of my eye and I had to smile. It was my eight-year-old son Nathan, happily playing in the freshly tilled soil.
24. When the author was young, he ______.
A. loved eating multicolored vegetables
B. loved being in the field with his father
C. loved being with his father to sell vegetables
D. loved helping his father remove the weeds
25. What can we know from the passage?
A. The author wished to leave the garden as soon as possible.
B. The author wished to become a gardener like his father.
C. The author’s father abandoned the garden when his children grew up.
D. The author’s father was crazy about his garden all the time.
26. Why did the author decide to plant his own garden?
A. To take more exercise
B. To reduce the cost of everyday life
C. To honor his dead father
D. To treat his friends with fresh vegetables
27. The aim that the author mentioned his son at last is to ______.
A. show that his son likes tomatoes best
B. show that his son is as naughty as he was
C. prove that most boys like working in the field
D. prove that the love for garden is being passed down
( C )
Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty．In fact, they say by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old．
Arthur Stone at Stony Brook University in New York led the study．His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five．The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties．Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies．The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties．
The findings appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the
world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry．The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single．But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age．The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older．However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men．
28. We can learn from the research that _____.
A. only when people get older, will they feel happier
B. older people usually have no worries in their life
C. stress levels among the youngest are the highest of all
D. older people are more likely to be thankful in life
29. According to the researchers, what is probably the reason why people grow happier when they
get older?
A. When people get older, they can’t remember bad experiences.
B. When people get older, they have no young children to care about.
C. When people get older, they learn to adjust their feelings.
D. When people get older, they don’t care about their feelings.
30. What do you think the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences is?
A. A Gallup organization
B. A popular science magazine
C. A university in New York
D. A research institution
31. What would the writer probably deal with in the next paragraph?
A. Advice to the young people on how to keep happy.
B. Advice to the old people on how to live longer.
C. Why women at all ages are more sad, stressed and worried.
D. Why people will grow happier when they grow older
( D )
After a confirmed rabies(狂犬病) case in Parke County,Indiana, experts are urging caution if you find a bat(蝙蝠) in your home or office.
“If you try to kill a bat,you are more likely to get bitten,”said Joy O’Keefe,assistant professor of biology and director of Indiana State Universi ty’s Centre for Bat Research,Outreach and Conservation. “Most bats people find in their houses are healthy and are not going to bite them
and give them rabies.” But they could be a federally endangered species,such as the Indiana Bat,which is found in this area.
So if you spot a bat in your home or office,don’t kill it or touch it with bare hands, O’Keefe said. Instead,put on a pair of heavy gloves and gently move it into a box or bucket. Once contained,the bat can be removed outside.
“If it’s a healthy bat,it’ll fly away eventually,” O’Keefe said. “If it doesn’t move or seem to be healthy,you can take it to the health department to be tested.”
This is the time of year when bats move from their summer resting sites to their winter resting sites, O’Keefe said.
“We get calls every year during the first month of school year from people finding bats in the university’s buildings,”said O’Keefe.
Bats are a great help to people,as every night they can eat up to their entire body weight of insects. Bats,however,are facing great threats from epidemics(流行性疾病), habitat destruction and other things.
“The best way the average person can help bats is by understanding them and by telling other people how awesome bats are and what bats do for us,” O’ Keefe said. “Hopefully, it will make people think that if there’s a bat in their house,they should try to get it out but not kill it.That would be really positive for bats—to not have people be one of their major threats.”
32. According to the text, experts are giving the public a warning about _______.
A. the biting by bats
B. the danger of keeping bats
C. the spreading of an infectious disease
D. the extinction of an endangered species
33. In O’Keefe’s opinion, when you find a bat in your house,you should _______.
A. put it on a tree
B. send it to get tested
C. remove it with gloves
D. report to the health department
34. We can infer that the text is probably written in _______.
A. spring
B. summer
C. autumn
D. winter
35. The underlined word“it”in the last paragraph probably means _______.
A. what bats like to eat
B. people’s awareness of bats
C. the best way to protect bats
D. the greatest threat bats are facing
