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）Shortly after the war，my brother and I were invited to spend a few days with an uncle who had just returned from abroad. He had rented a cottage in the country，although he rarely spent much time there. We understood the reason for this after our arrival: the cottage had no comfortable furniture（家具）in it；many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked（渗漏），making the whole house terrible.
On our first evening，we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories which our uncle had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed；but I could not stand missing any of my uncle's exciting stories.
He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above，the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.
"It sounds as if the roof has fallen in！"cried out my uncle，with a loud laugh.
When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door，we could see nothing at first because of the thick clouds of dust which filled the room. When the dust began to clear，a strange sight met our eyes. A large part of the ceiling had fallen down，falling right onto the pillow（枕头）on my bed.
I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle's stories，otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured，perhaps killed.
That night we all slept on the floor in the sitting room downstairs，not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment fall down on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country. This was not the kind of adventure he cared for either！
1、Why did the uncle seldom spend much time in the country cottage？
A．Because the roof of the cottage had fallen.
B．Because the cottage was in bad condition.
C．Because he was used to living abroad.
D．Because the rooms were too small to live in.
2、When the author and his brother opened the bedroom door，they could see nothing at first because.
A．it was completely dark inside
B．there was too much dust in the air
C．something strange stopped them
D．it was a mess inside
3、The author felt glad that he had stayed up late because.
A．he did not miss the exciting stories
B．he spent more time with his uncle
C．he had a lucky escape
D．he saw a strange sight
4、Which of the following can best describe the writer's uncle？
A．Adventurous and good at storytelling.
B．Humorous and good at making jokes.
C．Dependable and generous with money.
D．Thoughtful and sensitive to danger.

23．（8分）When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance，the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as entertainment, but certainly not an education priority（优先）. This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students
Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a
society.
Music provides a kind of perception(视角) that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive（情感的）meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.
The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.
So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.
1、According to paragraph 1, students ________.
A．regard music as a way of entertainment
B．disagree with their parents on education
C．view music as an overlooked subject
D．prefer the arts to science
2、In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz as an example to ________.
A．compare it with rock music
B．show music identifies a society
C．introduce American musical traditions
D．prove music influences people’s lifestyles
3、According to the passage, the arts and science ________.
A．approach the world from different angles
B．explore different phenomena of the world
C．express people’s feeling in different ways
D．explain what it means to be human differently
4、What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Music education deserves more attention.
B．Music should be of top education priority.
C．Music is an effective communication tool.
D．Music education makes students more imaginative.
24．（8分）Idema,a Dutch Sinologist（汉学家）,has served as the director of the Chinese Languages and Cultures

Finding reference books for his research,especially regional publications,used to be a huge challenge,and Idema used to spend a lot of time collecting books and other materials during visits to China.Now it is much more convenient with the Internet.
Idema usually chooses less-known subjects for his research and tries to get firsthand materials.In recent years, he has devoted himself to translating Chinese folk tales and writing about Chinese folk society and folk culture.
"Traditional Chinese culture is a passion.I have been studying it for 50 years and will continue to do so,"says the retired professor.

25．（10分）There is an English saying : “ Laughter is the best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying very seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to study laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found facts that laughter really can improve people’s health.[
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reducing the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produce pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produce pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group which tolerated(忍受) the pain for the longest time was the groups which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce endorphins in the brain. These are natural chemicals which diminish both stress and pain.
There is also some fact to suggest that laughter helps the body’s immune system, that is, the system which fights infection. In an experiment, one group of students watched a funny video while another group of students served as the control group ---- in other words, a group with which to compare the first group. Doctors checked the blood of the students in both groups and found that the people in the group that watch the video had an increase in the activity of their white blood cells, that is, the cells which fight infection.
As a result of these discoveries, some doctors and psychiatrists in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they try to improve their patients’ condition by en couraging them to laugh.
They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.
1、It can be learnt from the passage that laughter can_______.
A．make people feel younger
B．change people’s habits
C．improve peoples health
D．make people love their lives
2、Smiling can produce____.
A．more effects than laughter
B．the same effects as laughter
C．less effects on the human body
D．no effects on the human body
3、The main idea of this passage is that ______.
A．there are several ways of studying the benefits of laughter
B．laughter and physical exercise have the same effects on human body
C．the doctors should learn how to make people laugh
D．tests show that laughter can produce beneficial effects on human body

25、Guide dogs enjoy their work very much, and they get a lot of satisfaction from a job well done, but there is no room for typical dog fun during the work day. Games, treats and praise distract the dog from helping its handler navigate (指引方向) the course. Even when the handler doesn’t need assistance, a guide dog on the j ob is trained to ignore distractions and keep still. This is because a guide dog must be able to come to handler’s workplace or be in public places without creating a disturbance(干扰).
When you see a guide dog on the job, it is extremely important that you recognize that it is at work. Petting or talking to the dog spreads its concentration, which weakens the handler’s ability to get around in his or her surroundings. People are very impressed with guide dogs and so we have a natural inclination（倾向）to praise them, but the best thing you can do to help a guide dog is to leave it alone so that it can pay attention to its surroundings and maintain its focus on its handler. Guiding is very complicated, and it requires a dog’s undivided attention.
When a guide dog gets home at the end of the day, however, it will play and soak up praise just like an ordinary pet. Guide dogs make the difference between work and play based on their lead harness（牵狗用的皮带）：When the harness is on, they must stay completely focused---- whe n it comes off, it’s play time. Guide dogs work very hard every day, but they lead extremely happy lives, full of lots of attention and stimulation.
Working as a guide dog requires good physical and mental shape, so guide dogs typically retire just before they
enter old age. Retirement is usually at age 8 or 10; but some work for a little longer, and some guide dogs retire earlier if they’re having trouble with the work.
4、What do you think is the typical job of a guide dog?
A．Help the policemen to search for the murderer.
B．Help the blind or weak-sighted people get around .
C．Help the doctor to save the injured people.
D．Help the owner to watch their house.
5、What does the writer want to tell the readers through the passage?
A．Guide dogs are so helpful that we should make friends with them.
B．Guide dogs are different from other dogs and they have some special talents.
C．Guide dogs’ life style and job situation.
D．Guide dogs’ trained way by their handlers.
6、What does the underlined word “distract” mean in th e passage?
A．to stop the dog paying attention to what he is doing
B．to make the dog think very carefully about what he is doing
C．to interrupt the dog so that he cannot do the work well
D．to stop the dog from doing something
7、What should you do when meeting with a guide dog at its job?
A．Praise it. B．Feed it.
C．Play with it. D．Leave it alone.

29、Dear Sam,
Learning tha t you are interested in China’s four great new inventions, I’m writing with pleasure to briefly introduce one of the four---Alipay, which has recently taken our country by storm.
Alipay is a software that can transfer the money from your deposit card into the application so that you are able to pay for commodities using your phone. It is the widespread use of Alipay that saves us the trouble of taking cash.
For my part, I’m in favor of Alipay in that we can purchase stuff in a more convenient way. However, personal information could be revealed, so we need to use it properly.
I would be delighted if the above could be of value. If you want to know more, feel free to ask! Looking forward to your reply!
Yours,
Li Hua。
