其次部分阅读理解（共20 小题，每小题2分，满分40分)

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.
A
My father had returned from his business visit to London when I came in, rather late, to supper.
I could tell at once that he and my mother had been discussing something. In that half-playful, half-serious way I knew so well, he said," How would you like to go to Eton?"
"You bet, "I cried quickly catching the joke. Everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most famous of schools. You had to be entered at birth, if not before. Besides, even at 12 or 13, I understood my father. He disliked any form of showing off. He always knew his proper station in life, which was in the middle of the middle class, our house was medium-sized; he had avoided joining Royal Liverpool Golf Club and went to a smaller one instead; though once he had got a second-hand Rolls-Royce at a remarkably low price, he felt embarrassed driving it, and quickly changed it for an Austin 1100. This could only be his delightful way of telling me that the whole boarding school idea was to be dropped. Alas! I should also have remembered that he had a liking for being different from everyone else, if it did not conflict（冲突）with his fear of drawing attention to himself. It seemed that he had happened to be talking to Graham Brown of the London office, a very nice fellow, and Graham had a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, and while he was in that part of the world he thought he might just as well phone them. I remember my eyes stinging（刺痛）and my hands shaking with the puzzlement of my feelings. There was excitement, at the heart of great sadness.
"Oh, he doesn't want to go away," said my mother, "You shouldn't go on like this.” "It's up to him," said my father. "He can make up his own mind.”
21. His father sold his Roils-Royce because _______.
A. it made him feel uneasy
B. it was too old to work well
C. it was too expensive to possess
D. it was too cheap
22. What was the writer's reaction to the idea of going to Eton?
A. He was very unhappy.
B. He didn't believe it.
C. He was delighted.
D. He had mixed feelings.
23. We can know from the passage that _______.
A. Children who can go to Eton are very famous
B. Children can go to Eton if they will
C. It is very difficult for a child to get admitted by Eton
D. Children don't have the right to decide whether they will go to Eton
B
A great French writer says that we should help everyone as much as possible because we often
need help ourselves. The small even can help the great. Then he tells a simple story. An ant is drinking at a small stream and falls in. She tries to reach the side but makes no progress at all.
The poor ant, almost exhausted, is still doing her best when a bird sees her. Moved with pity the bird throws a blade of grass into the water. It supports(支撑) the ant like a boat, and the ant reaches the bank. When she is having a rest in the grass, she sees a man walking along barefooted and carrying a gun in his hand. He wants to kill the bird nearby. When he raises his gun to fire, the ant bites him in the foot. So he stops to look down and the bird flies away quickly. It is an animal much weaker and smaller than herself that has saved her life.
24. According to the French writer, we often need help from others, so we should ________.
A. not help others

26. The French writer tells the story in order to show__________.

Taking a shower is relaxing. You can hum a song, daydream or think about nothing, leaving the real world behind you. But did you know that showering can also benefit your mind?
A research by Scott Barry Kaufman, a psychologist from Yale University in the US interviewed over 3,000 people around the world. It turned out that nearly two-thirds of the interviewees said they had experienced new ideas in the shower and were more likely to have them in the shower than at work.
So why does a simple shower have such magic power? Science can explain it.
Showering can help to raise our level of dopamine, a hormone(荷尔蒙) closely related to our creativity. “People vary in terms of their level of creativity according to the activity of
dopamine”, explained Alice Flaherty, a famous American neuroscientist(神经系统学家). “Taking a warm shower can make us feel relaxed and therefore make the dopamine level rise and bring ‘Aha!’ moment to us.”
Besides the chemical changes, showering may give you a break from what you feel you have been stuck with. Especially when you have thought hard all day about a problem, jumping into the shower can keep you from the outside world so that you can focus on your inner feelings and memories. In this way, according to American psychologist Shelley H.Carson, author of Your Creative Brain, “a showering hou r may turn into an ‘incubation (孵化) period’ for your ideas.”
Compared with sitting in front of a computer, taking a shower is something we do less frequently in our daily life. When showering, we get a fresh experience with the change of location, temperature and humidity. “New and unexpected experiences can lead to positive changes in thinking,” explained Kaufman. “Getting off the couch and jumping in the shower may create a distance and force you to think from a new point of view.”
Showering allows us to enjoy the creative juices of our minds, but it needn’t just be the bathroom where you get your inspiration. For instance, Gertrude Stein, a female American writer and poet, got new ideas by driving around a farm and stopping at different cows until she found the one that most inspired her. So try to create your own way to free your mind, whether it’s walk near the ocean,
a country drive or reading a book at home.
28. According to the article, what changes can showering cause?
A. Leading to boredom or tiredness.
B. Increasing the level of dopamine.
C. Decreasing the level of dopamine.
D. Setting the creative part of the brain free.
29. If one has focused on something all day, showering can help _______.
A.one make an important breakthrough
B. draw one’s attention to the outside world
C. turn one’s attention inwards
D. many chemical changes to take place
30. It can be inferred from the article that _______.
A. changes in the frequency of an action can create a new perspective
B. it is a good idea to talk with others about their sources of inspiration
C. our lives might feel longer and fuller if we frequently try new things
D. it is helpful to try something different rather than stay focused on a difficult task
31. The example of Gertrude Stein in the last paragraph is used to _______.
A. encourage readers to find their own ways of getting inspiration
B. explain how to link inspiration with readers’ daily lives
C. point out to readers that it’s hard to find inspiration
D. show that creativity often comes from strange places
D
We know that cigarette smoking kills. So, producers made electronic cigarettes as a safer smoking choice - safer than tobacco．Although e-cigarettes contain the drug nicotine like cigarettes, they do not use tobacco and you do not light them．They are powered by battery （电池）．
However, if e-cigarettes are so safe, why has the United States Center for Disease Control （CDC） seen an increase in telephone calls about e-cigarette poisonings?
The answer is children．Most of the calls are from people worried about children who have played with the devices, In the period of one month this year, the Center said 215 people called the Center with e-cigarette concerns． More than half of these calls were for children aged five and younger． The devices had made them sick．
Tim McAfee is director of the Center's Office on Smoking and Health. He says the problem is regulation, meaning the U．S．federal government does not control e-cigarettes even though they contain liquid nicotine．Mr.McAfee adds that liquid nicotine is a well-known danger．Mr．McAfee explains that nicotine poisoning happens when it gets into the skin, gets into the eyes or is swallowed．It can cause stomach pain or a sense of unbalance．And too much nicotine can kill.
Tim McAfee says e-cigarettes do not create the level of risk to people that tobacco products do．He notes that almost 500,000 Americans die each year from cigarettes．"So, cigarettes are the winner in that contest．" E-cigarettes do not contain hundreds of harmful chemicals that are found in real cigarettes．So, the U．S．Surgeon General Boris D.Lushniak has suggested that e-cigarettes may be a useful tool for adults trying to end their tobacco use．
But McAfee worries that teenagers may think electronic cigarettes are harmless． They could become addicted to the nicotine and then start smoking real cigarettes． In other words, he fears that for young people fake e-cigarettes could be a "gateway" to the real thing．
32．What do the producers think of e-cigarettes?
A． Dangerous． B． Expensive．C． Safer． D． Cheaper．
33．Why did the CDC receive so many calls about e-cigarettes?
A． Parents feared that their children might get poisoned,
B． Parents found the device useless in quitting smoking．
C． Children swallowed the liquid nicotine from the device．
D． Children might get addicted to playing with the device．
34．It can be inferred from the passage that ．
A． the CDC wants to develop a better type of e-cigarettes
B． the government is in favor of the use of e-cigarettes
C． Surgeon General Boris D． Lushniak is a heavy smoker
D． smokers most probably can't quit smoking using e-cigarettes
35．What is Tim McAfee's opinion about smoking?
A． Adults should use harmless e-cigarettes．
B． Smoking e-cigarettes can make a person sick．
C． He claims that regulations should be made to ban smoking．
D． He is concerned about the teens using e-cigarettes．

Dear Sir,
Thank you very much for invite me to the summer English course in your school. As for my choice between the two courses, I prefer the four-week course because of this will allow me more time to do some tr aveling but make a few new friends. Of all the subject I’m learning at school, I like English best. I had been learning English for eleven years but my spoken English remains to be poorly. So I really hope to take this chance to improve them. If possible, I’d like to stay with a family for a couple of days so that I can learn some customs in England, that I’m particularly interesting in. I believe I will have good time this summer.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
