第二部分阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题，满分50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，
A
On a number of drives throughout my childhood, my mother would suddenly pull over the car to examine a flower by the side of the road or rescue a beetle from tragedy while I, in my late teens and early twenties, sat impatiently in the car.
Though Mother’s Day follows Earth Day, for me, they have always been related to each other. My mom has been “green” since she became concerned about the environment. Part of this habit was born of thrift (节俭). Like her mother and her grandmother before her, mom saves glass jars, empty cheese containers and reuses her plastic bags.
Mom creates a kind of harmonious relationship with wildlife in her yard. She knows to pick the apples on her trees a little early to avoid the bears and that if she leaves the bird feeders(给食器) out at night, it is likely that they will be knocked down by a family of raccoons (浣熊). Spiders that make their way into the house and are caught in juice glasses will be set loose in the garden.
I try to teach my children that looking out for the environment starts with being aware of the environment. On busy streets, we look for dandelions (蒲公英) to fly in the wind; we say hello to neighborhood cats and pick up plastic cups and paper bags. This teaching comes easily, I realize, because I was taught so well by example. Mom didn’t need to lecture; she didn’t need to beat a drum to change the world. She simply slowed down enough to enjoy living in it and with that joy came mercy and an instinct for protection.
I am slowing down and it isn’t because of the weight of my nearly forty years on the planet, it is out of my concern for the planet itself. I’ve begun to save glass jars and reuse packing envelopes.
I pause in my daily tasks to watch the squirrels race each other in the trees above my house.
Last summer, in the company of my son and daughter, I planted tomatoes in my yard. With the heat of August around me, I ate the first while sitting on my low wall with dirt on my hands. Warm from the sun, it burst on my tongue with a sweetness I immediately wanted to share with my mom.
41. Why does the author say Earth Day is connected with Mother’s Day?
A. Because Mother’s Day falls shortly after Earth Day.
B. To stress that all the older women in her family are environmentalists.
C. To stress how much her mother cares about the environment.
D. Because her mother shows her how to be friendly to nature on Mother’s Day.
42. Which of the following is NOT related to Mom’s “green life”?
A. Rescuing a beetle from a certain tragedy.
B. Saving glass jars, empty cheese containers.
C. Setting a caught spider free in the garden
D. Picking dandelions on busy streets.
43. We can infer from the article that ______.
A. the author realizes that she should teach her children by example as well
B. the author’s mother knows how to get rid of the wildlife in her yard
C. the author believes that only by learning to slow down can we enjoy life
D. the author’s mother used to lecture her to protect the environment.

B. The author likes eating tomatoes planted by herself.
C. Planting tomatoes is a way of protecting environment.

Big Brothers Big Sisters is based on the simplicity and power of friendship．It is a program which provides friendship and fun by matching vulnerable young people (ages 7-17) with a volunteer adult who can be both a role model and a supportive friend.
V olunteer tutors come from all walks of life—married, single, with or without children. Big Brothers and Big Sisters are not replacement parents or social workers. They are tutors: someone to trust, to have fun with, to talk and go to when needed.
A Big Sister and Little Sister will generally spend between one and four hours together three or four times each month for at least twelve months.

Sarah wanted to get involved in a volunteer program. “I googled it and found out how to be a part of it. I thought it would be fun for me to get involved in making time to do something because sometimes it is all work and no play.”

There’s sweetness in the lies parents tell their kids, which is a very good thing, since they tell a lot of them. The lies — nearly all of them harmless — may differ depending on the family. But
from culture to culture, there’s one tall tale nearly all parents tell, and they tell it repeatedly: “We do not have a favorite child.”
Mom and Dad will say it seriously. They’ll repeat it endlessly, and in many cases, they’ll be lying t hrough their teeth. It’s one of the worst kept secrets of family life that all parents have a preferred son or daughter, and the rules for admitting it are the same everywhere: The favored kids recognize their status and keep quiet about it — the better to preserve the good thing they’ve got going and to keep their siblings（兄弟或姐妹）off their back. The unfavored kids howl (嚎叫) about it like wounded cats. And on pain of death, the parents deny it all.
The stonewalling is understandable. Most parents want to spare unfavored kids the hurt that the truth could cause. Moreover, the court of public opinion can respond pitilessly — even furiously — to moms or dads who speak the forbidden truth. Last March, a mother of two wrote a post on the website under the headline I THINK I LOVE MY SON JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE. The mom went on at length describing the greater warmth she feels for her baby boy compared with her baby girl and even included a photo of herself and her unfavored daughter.
She was, predictabl y, severely criticized. “Please work on your issues lady!” said one typical response. “I feel absolutely horrible for your daughter!” read another. But then there was this: “I completely understand. I too feel this way.”
The hard truth is, most parents do. In one research, Catherine Conger, a professor at the University of California at Davis, studied a group of 384 sibling pairs and their parents and visited them three times over three years. She questioned them about their relationships and videotaped them as they worked through conflicts. Overall, she concluded that 65% of mothers and 70% of fathers exhibited a preference for one child, usually the older one. And the real numbers can be much bigger, since parents try especially hard to hide their preferences when a researcher is watching.
If the scientists don’t see through the trick, however, kids usually do — and act accordingly. From the moments they’re born, brothers and sisters constantly compete for the precious resource of parental attention, each f ighting to establish an identity that will best catch Mom’s or Dad’s eye. I’m the smartest one! I’m the funny one!
It’s hard to predict the fallout from favoritism. Being the favorite may improve self-esteem and confidence. But studies show it can also leave kids with a sense of arrogance (傲慢) and privilege. Unfavored children may grow up wondering if they’re somehow unworthy of the love the parents gave generously to the golden child. But they may do better at forming relationships outside the family as a result of that. And there’s no telling how the differential treatment will play out among the kids.
“My mom didn’t like my older sister and did like me,” says Roseann Henry, an editor and the married mother of two girls. “Everyone assumed I had it great, e xcept that my sister tortured (折磨) me pretty much all the time — and really, what affects daily life more for a kid, the approval of a parent or the day-to-day torture of an older sister?”
55. The sweetness in the lie “We do not have a favorite child.” is that parents ______.
A. keep telling the same lie seriously
B. show pity for the unfavored kids
C. don’t want to hurt the unfavored kids
D. don’t tell the truth to the favored kids
56. The favored kids keep it a secret that they are the preferred ones probably because ______.
A. it’s a forbidden truth
B. they want to keep the benefits
C. they sometimes are not sure about their status
D. the unfavored kids already feel badly hurt by their parents
57. The writer uses the example stated in Paragraph 3 to show ______.
A. why parents deny the truth
B. most parents have the same feeling
C. how valuable the public opinion can be
D. mothers usually like their sons more than their daughters
58. Why didn’t the data from Catherine Conger’s study completely reflect the reality?
A. Her study didn’t last long enough.
B. The sibling pairs didn’t cooperate well.
C. She studied a very small group of families.
D. The parents tried not to show their preferences.
59. The word “fallout” (Paragraph 7) most probably means ______.
A. unpleasant effects
B. future developments
C. emotional responses
D. disappointing performances
60. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______.
A. favored kids are more likely to take good care of their siblings
B. unfavored kids are less well-behaved in schools than favored kids
C. favored kids may view their parents’ preferences as a bad thing
D. unfavored kids may regard the unfair treatment as helpful experiences
第二节：下面文章中有5处（第61至65题）需要添加小标题。

请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E、F）中，选出符合各段要求的最佳小标题。

选项中有一项为多余选项。

A. Never respond before you think twice.
B. Put personal files online.
C. Don’t post anything without a second thought.
D. Protect your private material.
E. Establish your online identity and reputation.
F. Express your anger in a proper way.
The virtual world is full of opportunities to share with people around the world. It’s also a place where nothing is temporary and there are no “take – backs.” A lot of what you do and say online can be got back online even if you delete it – and it’s an easy thing for others to copy, save, and forward your information.
61. ______
Anyone who accesses your profile on a social networking site can copy or screen – capture information and photos that you may not want the world to see. Don’t rely on the site’s default settings. Read each site’s instructions or guidelines to make sure you’re doing everything you can to keep your material private. If someone logs on to a site and pretends to be you, they can trash your identity. Pick passwords that no one will guess (don’t use your favorite band or your dog’s birthday; try thinking of two completely random nouns and mixing in a random number), and change them often. Never share them with anyone other than your parents or a trusted adult. Not even your best friend, boyfriend, or girlfriend should know your private passwords!
62. ______
Things that seem funny or cool to you right now might seem so cool years from now – or when
a teacher, admissions officer, or potential employer sees them. A good and reliable way is: if you’d feel unnatural if your grandmother, coach, or best friend’s parents saw it, it’s probably not a good thing to post. Even if it’s on a private page, it could be hacked or copied and forwarded.
63. ______
Research shows that a high percentage of teens receive improper messages and requirements when they’re online. These can be scary, strange, and even embarrassing. If you feel troubled by a stranger or a friend online, tell an adult you trust immediately. It is never a good idea to respond. Responding is only likely to make things worse, and might result in you saying something you wish you hadn’t.
64. ______
If you are eager to let out an angry comment on a message board or blog, it’s a good idea to wait a few minutes, calm down, and remember that the comments may stay up (with your screen name right there) long after you’ve regained your temper and maybe changed your mind. You might feel anonymous or disguised in chat rooms, social networks, or other sites – and this could lead to mean, insulting, or abusive comments toward someone else, or sharing pictures and comments you may later regret. We’ve all heard of cyber bullying (网络欺凌), but most people think online bullying is something people do intentionally. But sharing stuff or dropping random comments when we’re not face to face with someone can hurt just as much, if not more. And it can damage how others see you if they find out. A good rule to remember; if you wouldn’t say it, show it, or do it in person, you probably don’t want to online.
65. ______
Chances are, you’ve already checked your “digital footprint” – nearly half of all online users do. Try typing your screen name or email address into a search engine and see what comes up. That’s one way to get a sense of what others see as your online identity. In general, if you have questions about the trail you’re leaving online, don’t be afraid to ask a trusted adult. Sure, you might know more about the online world than a lot of adults do, but they have life experience that can help. Your online identity and reputation are shaped in much the same way as your real life identity, except that when you’re online you don’t always get a chance to explain your tone or what you mean. Thinking before you post and following the same rules for responsible behavior online as you do offline can help you avoid leaving an online identity trail you regret.

T hree years ago I failed an important exam in my life and became a student in an ordinary school. Disappointed as I felt at the shabby campus and the poorly-equipped classroom, I found the teachers patient and considerate. Besides, I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere in class. I decided to make the best of it. I worked hard and got along well with my teachers and classmates. Whenever I had difficulties, they were always available. Soon, I beca me one of the top students in my class, which greatly increased my confidence and got me motivated.
My experience tells me that it is not what you are given but how you make use of it that determines who you are.
