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
Sometimes called Amazonia, the rainforest of the Amazon River basin is the largest in the world. It stretches (延伸) across more than half of Brazil and parts of seven other South American countries (and French Guiana). With a land area of 2.7 million square miles, the Amazon rainforest is almost two thirds the size of the US.
Rainforests are important to the health of the entire planet. Often called "the lungs of the planet", the Amazon rainforest, with its rich plant life, stores carbon dioxide while giving out the oxygen we need to survive.
At one time, rainforests covered 14 percent of Earth’s surface. Deforestation has reduced that figure to 6 percent today. Much of the loss has been in the Amazon.
Fortunately, over the years, Brazil has also become a world leader in rainforest preservation. A law called the Forest Code, originally passed in 1965, requires the Amazon’s farmers to protect 80 percent of their land from farming. And democratic governments beginning in the early 1990s began to enforce it seriously.
Efforts to save the Amazon increased under President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (2002—2011). Brazil set aside about 150
million acres of the rainforest, an area about the size of France, for protection. Deforestation fell by 74 percent between 2004 and 2009.
Other countries of the Amazon have also done their parts. This year, Peru created a forest reserve about the size of California’s Yosemite National Park.
21. What is the size of the Amazon rainforest?
A. About the size of France.
B. Nearly half the size of Brazil.
C. Over half the size of the US.
D. About the size of seven South American countries.
22. How much of the rainforest has been lost due to deforestation according to Paragraph 3?
A. 6%.
B. Approximately 8%.
C. 14%.
D. More than 50%.
23. Which country contributes most to the preservation of the Amazon rainforest?
A. Peru.
B. Brazil.
C. The US.
D. French Guiana.
24. What does the author feel about the situation of the Amazon?
A. Optimistic.
B. Moved.
C. Worried.
D. Uncertain.

Working as a volunteer is sure to enrich your life, and the lives of others, in more ways than you could ever
imagine. It’s an exciting and personally inspiring experience and you’ll develo p memories that will be with you forever.
As a volunteer, you’re making a meaningful co ntribution, working side-by-side with local people and sharing in the goals of a community that warmly welcomes you.

Increasing your social awareness, gaining self-confidence, building a sense of independence, discovering your strengths and talents, developing skills, expanding your social circle and developing a job finding network are just some of the potential benefits that will result from your volunteering experiences. You will get as much out of volunteering as you put into it—and quite often, you will get a whole lot more.

D. The willingness to live a hard life.

C
When I was two years old, I was diagnosed with a sensorineural (感觉神经) hearing loss. My mother cried when she found out—she wanted her son to be happy and able to experience everything life had to offer. I went to a special playgroup twice a week where a nurse discovered I had taught myself to read. I then attended a school for the deaf from age three to six.
I remember looking around the room there. People talked and signed to each other. I had a best friend and I did very well in class. But I told my mother that I wanted to go to the regular school with hearing people, because I felt more like a hearing person than a hearing-impaired (听力受损) one. I didn’t even
use sign language! I lip-read and listened with my hearing aids. After visiting a public school for a day, my mother agreed to let me go. Needless to say, I have functioned very well.
Many people don’t even know I am hearing-impaired until they see my hearing aids. My girlfriend often forgets that I have any problem, and I feel fortunate that she does not look down upon people like me. The only problem I have with this hearing loss is that some people discriminate against me. The fact is that I am just as normal as anyone else. The only differences are that others need to speak up, and I have some help from my hearing aids.
The next time you see hearing-impaired people, don’t feel sorry for them—that just gives them an excuse to victimize themselves and hurt their own potential. Instead, encourage them and tell them that a handicap（缺陷）only hurts a person if he or she lets it.
28. Which is TRUE about the author when he was 5?
A. He was diagnosed with hearing loss.
B. He stayed at home with his mother.
C. He attended a school for the deaf.
D. He went to a special playgroup.
29. Why did the author want to attend the regular school？
A. He had few friends at the school.
B. He even didn’t know sign language.
C. He found it hard to fit in with his classmates.
D. He didn’t believe his handicap was a big problem.
30. What was the author’s problem at the regular school?
A. He couldn’t catch up with others.
B. Some people looked down upon him.
C. His girlfriend discriminated against him.
D. He performed poorly with hearing aids.
31. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?
A. The disabled should regard themselves as normal.
B. If a person is handicapped, he will hurt himself.
C. A normal person shouldn’t hurt the handicapped.
D. A disabled person should be well treated.
D
Nobody likes doing the dishes, but it turns out that doing this daily task might pay off in an unexpected way. According to a new study published in the Journal of Pediatrics, washing dishes by hand instead of using a dishwasher might prevent the development of allergies.
Researchers in Sweden surveyed the parents of 1,029 children ages 7 and 8. They discovered that children whose families hand-washed the dishes instead of using a machine were less likely to have allergies.
Earlier research has shown that dishes washed by machine are cleaner than those washed by hand. So why would kids who eat off of slightly dirtier plates be better off when we talk about preventing allergies? One explanation is based on a theory known as the “hygiene hypothesis (卫生假说),” wh ich says the reason why kids develop allergies is that their surroundings are actually too clean.
Your immune (免疫)system keeps you healthy by fighting germs (病菌) like bacteria and viruses. But when you have allergies, it overreacts and tries to fight ordinary things like pollen (花粉) or certain foods.
Being exposed to germs, particularly early in life, is good training for the immune system, says the lead author of the study,
Dr. Bill Hesselmar of Queen Silvia Hospital in Sweden. “You excite the immune syste m in various ways and it becomes tolerant.”
This study shows that while using the dishwasher might be easier, the old-fashioned method of cleaning up could be better for your health.
32. What’s the advantage of washing dishes by hand?
A. Hand-washed dishes are much cleaner.
B. It encourages people to do housework.
C. It helps prevent allergies.
D. Dishes are easier to wash.
33. What can we know about the theory of the “hygiene hypothesis”?
A. There is no harm done if kids live in a slightly dirty place.
B. There is no need to keep the surroundings clean.
C. It’s better for kids to use clean plates to keep healthy.
D. It’s wise to use a dishwasher to prevent allergies.
34. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Pollen.
B. The immune system. .
C. The germ.
D. A certain food.
35. What’s the result when our immune system becomes tolerant?
A. It’ll overreact to the foods we eat.
B. It’ll lead to the deve lopment of allergies.
C. It’ll make germs in our body more active.
D. It’ll prevent al lergies and keep us healthy.

This is the season for holiday travel! As one of the busiest times of the year approaches, many of us are preparing for a vacation with our families and friends. 36 Not to mention, there’s often lots of indulging (放纵) between now and New Year’s—and the last thing any of us wants is to pack on extra weight. 37
1. Walk everywhere.
Instead of taking buses, try to walk whenever possible. This is one of my favorite thi ngs to do when traveling, even if I’m going somewhere familiar. 38 And you’re fitting in extra exercise as a bonus. To give yourself an extra boost (促进), always take the stairs instead of the elevator. And don’t get on those moving sidewalks in the airport!
2. Find a local hike.
For bonus points: 39 Do a bit of research to find a scenic spot for the whole family to enjoy. Not only will you boost your burn, but a change of scenery is also a great way to bond with your loved ones and experience something new.
3. 40
Plenty of people just head home for the holidays, but if you’re going somewhere new and exciting this year do not overlook running routes as a fun way to see the sights. Nothing spices up (添趣) a run or brisk walk quite like a beautiful view. This is a great way to explore the area on foot while getting your body moving and breaking a sweat.
A. Start running!
B. Don’t just walk, hike!
C. Sightsee while on a run.
D. It’s a good way to relax ourselves.
E. While this is something to look forward to, it can also be stressful.
F. It’s amazing what you can discover by walking around your hometown.
G. Here are some tips for staying fit while you’re on the go this holiday season.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Some of us students don’t like to do homework. All they want to do is to have some time 61 (play) with friends, chat with classmates, or go and hang out with other people. However, when it comes to 62 (do) homework, we easily lose our energy for the day, and end 63 sleeping instead. So, why is homework important? Homework is to test how much we have learned 64 the day’s lessons. Another reason why homework is important is that it can help us practice the day’s lessons.
When we do our homework, our thinking can also be improved, 65 (especial) since it is usually something 66 needs some analysis and critical thinking. When we learn how to do our homework, we’ll find that learning our future lessons in the classroom will be so much 67 (easy) for us.
It may not be easy to do homework. But homework 68 (give) so that we’ll have more time to analyze, and to compare 69 (note) with other classmates. This 70 (help) us develop our problem solving skills because we have to find ways to arrive at the right answers with no aid from the teachers.
