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)
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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.
A
The majority of Indian women wear a red dot between their eyebrows。

While it is generally taken as an indicator of their marital (婚姻的）status，the practice is primarily related to the Hindu religion. The dot goes by different names in different Hindi dialects, and “bindi” is the one that is most commonly known。

Traditionally，the dot carries no gender restriction: Men as well as women wear it。

However，the tradition of men wearing it has faded in recent times, so nowadays we see a lot more women than men wearing one.
The position of the bindi is standard: center of the forehead，close to the eyebrows. It represents a third，or inner eye。

Hindu tradition holds that all people have three eyes：The two outer ones are used for seeing the outside world，and the third one is there to focus inward toward God. As such, the dot serves as a constant reminder to keep God in the front of a believ er’s thoughts.
Red is the traditional color of the dot。

It is said that in ancient times a man would place a drop of blood between his wife’s eyes to seal their marriage. According to Hindu beliefs，the color red is believed to bring good fortune to the married couple. Today, people go with different colors depending upon their preferences. Women often wear dots that match the color of their clothes。

Decorative or sticker bindis come in all sizes，colors and variations，and can be worn by young and old，married and unmarried people alike。

Wearing a bindi has become more of a fashion statement than a religious custom。

21. Why did people in India start wearing a red dot on their forehead？A。

To show their religious belief.
B。

To show their financial status。

C. To indicate their social rank。

D。

To highlight their family background。

22。

What is the importance of the third eye in Hindu tradition？
A. To stay in harmony with nature。

B。

To pay respect to God。

C. To see things with a subjective view.
D. To observe the outside world more clearly。

23. Why was red chosen as the original color of the bindi？
A。

The red dot represented the blood of God.
B。

Red stood for a wife’s love for her husband.
C. The word “bindi” means “red" in some Hindi dialects。

D. Red was supposed to bring good luck to a married couple。

The pounding（重击声）was driving Edward crazy。

A new neighbor had just moved into the apartment below him. The newcomer was deaf, or seemed to be，because he played his stereo(立体声音响）loud enough for the whole building to hear.
On the first day he heard the stereo rocking over, Edward marched downstairs and politely told the newcomer that his stereo was too loud。

He asked the new tenant to turn the volume down and keep it down as long as he lived in the building. The tenant appeared surprised and embarrassed, a nd said, “Oh, I'm sorry. I didn’t realize it was that loud.”
So, Edward returned upstairs，feeling good，because he had taken a stand and politely let the newcomer know that loud music was not going to be tolerated. The next day all was quiet，and Edward continued to be pleased with himself。

The following day，Edward thought it must be Fourth of July，because a marching band was playing on his street. In fact, it was the new neighbor who was playing his music loud again。

Edward was not one to repeat himself，feeling that each time you repeated yourself，you diminished the value of your words。

So, he did what he always did with rude neighbors－grin（露齿而笑）and bear it. Eventually, they would move away。

What else are you going to do?
In Los Angeles a year ago，a woman had complained to her upstairs neighbor that he was playing his drums too loud and too often。

The drummer repeatedly ignored her。

One day the woman walked upstairs and shot the drummer in the head and his girlfriend in the chest. The woman was sentenced to prison for 20 years。

The dead drummer won’t bother anyone with his drums, but the woman might be wishing now that she had learned to grin and bear it. If she were still living in her apartment，she could always move. When you’re in prison，you don't have that option。

28．The man living below where Edward lived was . A．a deaf man B．the owner of the house

29．What did Edward always do with rude neighbors？

C．Shouting them to dead. D。

30．The author writes the last paragraph to prove that 。

A．being in prison means the loss of freedom
B．grinning and bearing it is the best policy
C．Edward should follow the example of the woman
D．the woman was right to kill her neighbor

B．she could not stand his playing the music too loud
C．she could not put up with him any longer
D．he played the drums too often

What exactly is intelligence？There aren’t any easy answers。

Despite the progress that has been made in genetics and psychology, human intelligence has remained one of the most controversial areas of modern science until now and the discovery of a gene linked to intelligence has made the experts think again。

Robert Plomin of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the US have been looking into genetic make-up. From their research, they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more common in those with a high IQ. Plomin analyzed DNA from two groups of 51 children aged between 6 and 15. What he found was that the first group had an IQ of 136, putting them in the top 5％of the population，while the other group had an average IQ of 103. An analysis of their genes showed that 32％of children in the higher group had the gene in question，while only 16％in the second group did。

However, there is a lot more research to be done and Plomin himself is cautious at this early stage. He suggests that there are probably many genes that contribute to intelligence，rather than just one。

Several studies have shown a strong link between IQ and career success, although some psychologists remain unconvinced about this。

Professor Michael Rowe, who has written a book called Genius Explained，is one of these. “The people with the highest IQs are not usually the ones who do best in their careers。

"
Many psychologists now believe that when it comes to intelligence，IQ isn't everything。

Many alternative views have been put forward recently. One example is the idea of multiple intelligences, which was developed in the 1980s by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner。

This offers a much broader view than the IQ theory，including creativity and communication skills as relevant factors in intelligence.
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
Tony Buzan，brain expert and author of Master your Memory, is enthusiastic about this belief，arguing that true geniuses do indeed appear to combine high levels of each type of intelligence。

He lists Alexander the Great，Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein as examples. At the same time, Buzan believes that everyone can develop their intelligence, only if they take the trouble to exercise their brain. Perhaps there’s hope for u s all！32。

What does the underlined word “This" in Paragraph 4 refer to？A. The development of intelligence
B。

The idea of multiple intelligences
C. IQ isn't everything for intelligence
D。

Alternative views have been put forward
33。

Why does the author use data in Paragraph 2?
A. To make a suggestion。

B。

To draw a conclusion。

C。

To prove an idea. D. To give an example。

34. What can we learn from the passage?
A。

Robert Plomin confirms genes have something in common.
B。

Howard Gardner thinks intelligence includes various factors。

C. Michael Rowe approves of a strong link between IQ and career.
D. Tony Buzan agrees geniuses exercise brain to improve intelligence。

35. What might be the best title of the passage？
A. The relationship between genes and intelligence
B. IQ benefits a lot from high intelligence
C。

How to develop intelligence
D。

What makes intelligence

What will you do if you can’t eat everything bought in the canteen? 36 According to a survey, what students waste every year could feed over 10 million people.
37 According to Xinhua News Agency, the food wasted by Chinese people is about 50 million tons of grain every year, which could feed 200 million people。

Food waste, which has become a global issue, serves as a mirror that reflects various cultural and social issues in different countries。

In the West, for instance, consumerism, the belief that it’s a good thing to use a lot of goods and services, is often to blame for food waste。

38 Chinese people are well known for being hospitable and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food。

On campus, a generation of single children is less aware of the food waste issue。

Students nowadays are well protected by their families and hardly have any concept of how much toil (辛劳）others go through in order to provide them with the food they eat.
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
39 There are over 925 million hungry people in the world，most of whom live in underdeveloped countries and areas。

They don't have enough food to eat. Many children die for lack of nutrition each year in some African countries. And farmers work very hard to grow the crops。

40 It’s also important that everyone should th ink about how they can do their bit to reduce food waste. A. Students’ waste is extremely serious.
B。

China，in turn, features its own eating culture。

C。

Students can never realize the serious food crisis.
D. Compared with them, some live in a different world。

E. But canteen waste is merely the tip of the iceberg.
F. So there’s no excuse that we should waste our food。

G。

Most of us would simply throw away any leftover food。

They lived in an apartment on the side of our house and I was 45 to have our family, especially a baby girl, so close to us。

There are more and more students who are developing eating habits in our school，which has attracted widely attention of the parents and our school. Some students often go to school without have breakfast. When they are hungry, they prefer eating some snack。

Some of them are even particular with food; they only eat what they like and never touch food they don’t like even if they really need it for their health。

What’s worse, some students eat or drink too much at a time，which do great harm to their health.
As it is known，we are what we eat。

It's important of us to form a healthy eating habit。

We should have various healthy diets what generally include proper amounts of fish，meat，vegetables, fruits as well as main food. Only in this way can we built a strong body and enjoy a better life.
