第二部分：阅读理解（共25小题。

第一节每小题2分，第二节每小题1分；满分45分）
第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡将该项涂黑。

In our culture, the sources of what we call a sense of " mastery"—feeling important and worthwhile-and the sources of what we call a sense of "pleasure" - finding life enjoyable—are not always the same．Women are often told " You can' t have it all．" Sometimes what the speaker is really saying is: "You choose a career, so you can't expect to have closer relationships or a happy’s all this about wanting a career?" But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being, if they are to feel good about themselves．
Our study shows that, for women, well-being has two aspects．One is mastery, which includes self-respect, a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression．Mastery is closely related to the "doing" side of life, to work and activity．Pleasure is the other aspect, and it is made up of happiness, satisfaction and optimism．It is tied more closely to the "feeling" side of life．The two are independent of each other．A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice
versa（）For example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time． The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women, and correct past mistakes．In the past, women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being．But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important．And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work．In our study, all the groups of employed women were valued greatly higher in mastery than women who were not employed．
A woman' s well-being is developed when she takes on multiple （）roles．At least byand strain.
41．It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ____A．a sense of "mastery" and a sense of "pleasure" are both necessary to women
B．for women, a sense of "pleasure" is more important than a sense of "mastery"
C．for women, a sense of "mastery" is more important than a sense of "pleasure"
D．women can't have a sense of "mastery" and a sense of "pleasure" at the same time
42．The author' s attitude towards women having a career is ____ A．negative B．unconcerned
C．positive D．realistic
43．We can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social roles, ____ A．it will be easier for her to overcome stress and strain

C．Orphan is a comedy about a girl named Esther adopted by a kind family．
D．The ancient Mayan prediction is going to happen in 2012． In the economic downturn, many American schools are adding a new subject to the curriculum （）financial literacy．One program in Virginia even gets students out of the classroom for a day to lea how far their money will go in the
real world．
What looks like a shopping mall is actually an educational field trip experience for a group of young people．Finance Park is a special place where students apply what they have been taught in class about money management．
"They become adults for the day," says Alice Reilly, social studies coordinator）for Fairfax County Public Schools．"They are asked to develop a budget for 18 line items that you and I might have in our budget; things like utilities （） , insurance, groceries, housing．"
Each budget item is represented by a storefront where students collect an option（） sheet．Students must refer to a card that shows their income and their family size, when they choose what to buy．
The park opened last year in Fairfax, Virginia．It is the fifteenth Finance Park built in the last decade by Junior Achievement USA, a non-profit organization devoted to preparing young people for financial success．
"Since the financial crisis, the demand for Finance Parks around the country has been growing," says Ed Grenier, president of the Washington, DC chapter．"We have a number under way in the planning and building stages．"
Financial literacy has only recently become part of the regular curriculum in Fairfax County．Some students, some teachers, some schools did it, but now it is much more systematic," Reilly says．
That is why every eighth grade student in Fairfax County will spend a day here．Thirteen-year- old Sam says he has learned an important life lesson．"I didn’t know how expensive everything would be．" Anthony, also 13, is looking forward to telling his parents what he learned．"I’ probably tell them I want to stay a kid a little longer and take my time to become an adult．"
This isn’t the end of financial studies for Anthony and the other students here．Virginia is one of 13 states which requires students to take a financial education in high school in order to graduate．

Dear Water Use It Wisely,
More and more water is getting wasted each day. I want to help out and teach people how conserve water．Please continue reading because your organization is very influential．I had an idea that you could send some workers from your organization to schools all around the world, and they could inform the students about water usage．
Did you know that every minute, 1,000,000,000 （one billion） tons of water falls to the earth from rainfall? We are lucky to have rainfall water．It helps fill up our lakes．There is about 326, 000, 000,000, 000, 000, 000 （326 quintillion） gallons of water on Earth．Yes, this is tons, but it is getting wasted．I want to keep this number BIG．
Everyone needs water, so why waste it? I think it is very irresponsible to let the water run when you are not at home．We can use water with respect by making good choices．Take a shower instead of a bath, use an automatic dishwasher instead of hand washing．You can buy Earth Friendly Cleaner Spray, so that our drinking water will not be polluted．If your washer isn’t full then don' t start it．With water being wasted every day, by the time we get to the 3000' s, we are going to have to survive on milk and juice! ! ! Won't that be boring?! That means we will have to give our dogs a bowl of juice instead of water with their food．I mean, come on, we' re talking real life here!
Water wasting needs to come to a stop and without delay．Water Use It Wisely, PLEASE inform people about their water usage! It plays a big role in my life．It would be really great if you take part in spreading the news about this! Thanks tons!
