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）Every man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone, not in features but in footsteps. As he grows you also age, and your ambitions become more unachievable. You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.
My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited until the last moment. Book reports we ren’t written until the final threat.
I’ve been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduat e working toward her master’s degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a “vo-tech” student (技校学生).They’re called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body.
When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shocked. “Hey, he’s a good kid,” I wanted to say. “And smart, really.”
I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they don’t often make school honor rolls.
But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices don't have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at $800. “Hey, I can fix it,” said Jody. I doubted it, but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose.
My son, with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts from a junkyard, and ability from
vo-tech classes. The cost was $25 instead of $800.
Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repair to him.
These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.
I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need
printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders. Most important, I have learned that fathers don^ need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.
My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine.
1、The author let his son repair the car because he believed that .
A．his son had the ability to fix it
B．it would save him much time
C．it wouldn't cause him any more loss
D．other motorheads would come to help
2、What did the author realize in the end?
A．It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path.
B．It is important for one to make the honor roll.
C．Architects play a more important role than builders.
D．Motorheads have greater ability than office workers.
22．（8分）I used to believe courtesy was a thing of the past. Very seldom have I encountered a courteous human being in this modern era.
Recently, I had to change my thinking, when I came face to face with just such a human being in a coffee place, with my two daughters. The place was crowded as usual and we had to climb steep stairs in order to find an empty table. After enjoying coffee and snacks, we went down the narrow stairs, where
there was hardly any space for another person to either climb up or come down.
Just as I was in the middle of the stairs, a gentleman entered the main entrance of the restaurant which was right in front of the staircase. I was sure I would be pushed roughly by this man going up. I kept coming down as fast as I could. My daughters
were already down, looking up at me worriedly, hoping I would reach them before the stranger started walking up the stairs, knowing I was a nervous sort.
Nearly reaching them, I noticed the man still standing near the door. I reached my daughters and passed the stranger at the entrance door which he kept holding open. I looked back thinking he was still at the door, deciding whether to go in or find another less crowded place. I saw him going up the stairs, two at a time. I told my daughters about it and all three of us felt bad that we did not even thank the courteous gentleman who was actually holding the door open for us ladies to pass through before going up.
Such well mannered people are hard to find these days, when pushing is very common in our advanced but aggressive society. We applauded for his chivalry(骑士精神).
1、What did the author think of the man at the first sight of him?
A．He was in a hurry. B．He would wait for her.
C．He would cross her rudely. D．He was a man with good manners.
2、Why did the author’s daughters worry about her?
A．She was too old to walk fast. B．She was easy to be disturbed.
C．She took up too much space. D．She focused too much on the man.
3、What can we learn about the man from Paragraph 4?
A．He might be a waiter of the café.
B．He might have an urgent business to do.
C．He fell in love with one of the author’s daughters.
D．He would hold the door open for all.
23．（8分）Eco-Resort Management
Ecotourism is often regarded as a form of nature-based tourism and has become an important alternative source of tourists. In addition to providing the traditional resort-leisure product, it has been argued that ecotourism resort(度假村) management should have a particular focus on best-practice environmental management. Couran Cove Resort is such a tourist attraction located on South Stradbroke Island, Australia.
Sustainable(可持续的) Practices of Couran Cove Resort
South Stradbroke Island is separated from the mainland by the Broadwater, which is home to a wide range of plant communities. Located on the offshore island, the Resort is only accessible by means of water transportation. It provides hourly ferry service from the harbour on the mainland to and from the island.
Within the Resort, transport modes include walking trails, bicycle tracks and the beach train. The reception area is the counter of the shop which has not changed in 8 years at least. The accommodation is an octagonal(八角形的) building. These are large rooms that are clean but the equipment is old and in some cases just working. The ceiling fan only works at high speed for example. Beds are hard but clean. There is a television, a radio, an old air conditioner and a small fridge in each room.
As an ecotourism-based resort, most of the planning and development of the attraction has been concentrated on the need to co-exist with the natural environment of South Stradbroke Island to achieve sustainable development.
Water and Energy Management
There is groundwater at the centre of the island, which has a maximum height of 3 metres above sea level. The water supply is
recharged by rainfall and is commonly known as an freshwater aquifer(含水层). Couran Cove Island Resort obtains its water supply by tapping into this aquifer and collecting it through a pipe. In order to narrow the water uses, all laundry activities are carried out on the mainland. The Resort uses LPG power station rather than a fuel oil station for its energy supply, supplemented(补充) by wind power, which has reduced greenhouse emissions by 70%. Hot water in the eco-cabins and for some of the Resort?s vehicles is solar-powered. Water efficient fittings are also installed in showers and toilets. Visitors who stay at the Resort are encouraged to monitor their water and energy usage by an
in-house television system, and are rewarded with prizes (such as a free return trip to the Resort) accordingly if their usage level is low.
Evaluation
In three years of operation, Couran Cove Island Resort has won 23 international and national awards. It has effectively implemented contemporary environmental management practices. However, the Resort?s growth will eventually be limited by its carrying capacity, and quantity control should be incorporated in the management strategy of the Resort.
1、In order to achieve sustainable development, the Resort .
A．cancels the transportation service
B．researches into plant communities
C．provides high quality accommodation
D．operates in harmony with its natural surroundings
2、What is applied for heating water on Couran Cove Island Resort?
A．The LPG power. B．The petro power.
C．The solar power. D．The wind power.
3、According to the study, in the future what should the Resort focus on?
A．Increasing the supply of fresh water.
B．Meeting the need of international guests.
C．Improving the tourism entertainment projects.
D．Limiting the number of the guests to the Resort.
4、From the passage we can know that Couran Cove Island Resort .
A．suffers huge loss in natural resources
B．achieves success in eco-resort management
C．sets a good example for profit-making business
D．raises standards in guest-monitoring management
24．（8分）Ridgewood is a small, quiet town 20 miles from Manhattan. It is a typical suburban town, perfect for raising children away from the fast pace of the city. However, some Ridgewood kids feel as upset as if they were on the city’s busy streets. In addition to hours of homework, Ridgewood’s children are occupied with afterschool activities —from swimming to piano to religious classes.
Out of desperation one day, the town decided to schedule another activity. This one was called “Ridgewood Family Night —Ready, Set, Relax!” Instead of schedules filled with sports, music, or o vertime at the office, so me of the town’s 25,000 residents decided to take the night off and stay home. For a few months before Family Night, a committee of volunteers worked hard to spread the word. Younger students took “Save the Date for Me” leaflets h ome to their parents. The mayor issued a statement, and schools and clubs agreed to cancel homework and meetings so families could relax and be together.
The tension between a hope for a more relaxed lifestyle and the knowledge that the benchmark for success has been raised in recent years weighs heavily on the minds of the townspeople. Some parents like to recall a different kind of childhood, one without so many scheduled afterschool activities. However, these same parents feel obliged to make sure their children are prepared to s urvive in today’s high-pressure work environment. They are afraid that any gap in their children’s physical or intellectual development might mean they won’t be admitted to the “right” universities and won’t succeed in a mor e and more competitive world.
Ne vertheless, it seems that Family Night worked, at least to a point. Cars moved easily around Ridgewood’s normally busy downtown streets, and stores and restaurants saw a drop in business. Some families ate supper together for the first time in months.
Initially, there was great hope of taking back their lives. But sadly, few families believe that one night will change their lives. Many are sure that they will fall back into the habit of over-scheduling their children to be overachieving adults.
1、The writer describes Ridgewood as a town where ________.
A．residents take little notice of education
B．children are stressful and over expected
C．parents are concerned about children’s safety
D．children lead a life of relaxed, ordinary rhythms
2、According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about the Family Night?
A．Schools assigned no homework.
B．Fewer people ate in the restaurants.
C．The streets were less crowded.
D．People enjoyed meeting each other.
3、According to the passage, the parents in Ridgewood ________.
A．have conflicting desires about what experiences to offer their children
B．are happy with the lifestyle they have chosen for themselves and the children
C．believe that it is their duty to make a change for the stressful life style
D．are worried about their children’s lacking of big ambition
4、We may get the conclusion from the passage that ________.
A．the concept of Family Night will become a regular part of life in Ridgewood
B．Ridgewood people believe the Family Night will change their way of living
C．Family Night is not as popular as people have originally thought
D．schools are worried about students being given too much free time
25．（10分）My First Day of School
Fear started taking over, I was walking into my first school in America. I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents, who had been for three years, hoping America would help my future. My father decided that I would be better off going to school here, so I enrolled(登记)in the local high school in my new town.
I was afraid how I would do. On the first day, I went to my second period class after I had missed my first. With anxiety, I reached for the door, opening it slowly. Without paying attention
to my classmates, I went straight to the teacher and as ked if this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered. “Yes.” His voice comforted me a little. He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didn’t have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I didn’t actually want to pick a seat. In India we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector. In Indian school s, we didn’t use the t echnology we had. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke.
It was noon. I was very confused about when I would have lunch. I went to my next class and the bell
rang as I entered. I went through the regular process of asking the teacher if I was in the right class. She said, “It’s still fourth period.”
“But the bell just rang,” I said.
Changing from a gentle tone to a harsher(刺耳的)one, she said, “That is the lunch bell, young man.”
I apologized. Without another word I headed for the cafeteria. I felt lucky because we didn’t have this in India. Every confusion seemed like a barrier I had to get through to reach my goal. At the end of the day, I was on my way to the bus which we didn’t have in India either. I spotted my bus and sat do wn inside happily. I was t hinking, today wasn’t o bad.
