第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分25分)
第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）
阅读文章后，从所给的四个选项中，选出最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

A
It is believed that children who walk or cycle to school have a lower risk of obesity than those by car. But driving your youngsters to the gates could also cause their academic work to suffer.
Researchers found children who were driven to school, or who took public transport, had poorer concentration levels than those who took a more active route such as walking or cycling. The study by researchers at two Danish universities found the regular exercise could advance a student up to half a year in their studies. Children who were driven to school, or who took public transport, performed less well in a test measuring concentration levels, than those who had walked or cycled.
The results surprised the researchers, as their hypothesis(假设) originally focused on the effects of eating breakfast and lunch on pupils’ ability to concentrate.
“The exercise one uses to transport oneself to school is reflected in the level of concentration one has about four hours later,” Niels Egelund, a co- author of the report said. “The results showed that having breakfast and lunch has an impact, but not very much compared to having exercise.”
“As a third-grade pupil, if you exercise and bike to school, your ability to concentrate increases ,” he added.
In the survey, taken by 19, 527 pupils aged five to 19 years old, participants were asked about their exercise habits and were then given a basic test measuring their concentration.
“Most people know the feeli ng of being refreshed after having exercised, but it is surprising that the effect lasts for so long,” Egelund said.
Previous research from the university of Montreal has found that exercise helps our brains make better use of oxygen. It may also reduce mental fatigue(疲劳) and sharpen your thinking. And last week Swedish researchers said they found that muscular(健壮的）boys will live longer
than their weaker friends.
21. What is the best title of this passage?
A. Exercise－Refresh you
B. Exercise－Look slim
C. Exercise－Live longer
D. Exercise－Learn faster
22. Which of the following is NOT the result of the research from the University of Montreal?
A. Exercise helps our brain make the most of oxygen.
B. Exercise can improve the level of concentration.
C. Exercise can make you sharp- minded.
D. Exercise can decrease mental fatigue.
23. According to the passage, which of the following statements is CORRECT?
A. Having breakfast and lunch has a greater impact compared to having exercise.
B. Eating breakfast and lunch can affect children’s ability to focus
C. Having exercise can refresh us but it doesn’t last long.
D. Children driven to school perform worse in all tests.
24.Children driven to school performed badly in their academies work because .
A. they are too lazy
B. they are not healthy
C. they are not focused
D. they are not smart
B
Most homeless turn to begging to make ends meet. However, a young South African man has come up with an interesting alternative--- he spends his days spreading the joy of reading and selling books written by his favorite authors．He is Philani Dladla , who is known as Pavement Bookworm.
While people don't know much about how the 24-year-old became a homeless man and how long he has been selling books on the streets, the world's attention has been focused on the young man recently. Thanks to an interview conducted by South African director, Tebogo Malope.
In the video named Pavement Bookworm, the cheerful Dladla talks about his passion(热爱) for books and how reading helped keep him away from a life of drugs and live a different life. The well-spoken young man also talks about his favorite authors and clearly appreciates what makes him a fan of each one of them.
Not surprisingly, after Malope uploaded the "Pavement Bookworm" video on YouTube.
Dladla has become a celebrity（名人）. In addition to being interviewed by other journalists, he has also received several job offers and even a visit from Steven Sidley, the author of Entanglement who hand-delivered（人工递送）his latest book to the enthusiastic reader.
The best thing is that this newly found fame has led to a business boom. Locals now go out of their way to seek Dladla for book discussions and most importantly to buy his recommendations. What' s heart- warming is that despite being hardly able to make ends meet，Dladla does not accept money from children who are interested in getting a book from him. In order to keep up with the increased demand，Malope is collecting book donations on behalf of the cheerful young man whose mission(使命) in life is to spread his passion for reading!
25. Dladla is different from other homeless people in that_____.
A. he is making a living by selling books on the street
B. he is the only person who has changed the world
C. he depends on the money from others to survive
D. he has been interviewed by famous reporters

A. The young man was used to taking drugs.
B. He makes comments on different authors worldwide.
C. The young man was good at giving speech after reading.
D. Reading has offered him an opportunity to get improved.
27. How has the video influenced Dladla according to the passage?
A. Many famous authors have decided to give him books free of charge.
B. He has always been surrounded by many readers with interest.
C. He has become a figure interviewed and visited by others.
D. His story has been well described in a famous book.

Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.
A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos(纹身), nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can't judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to carry certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.
Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees(雇员), because those people represent the companies to their customers.
As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates（后选人）, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers.
There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as the standards are legal.
32. Which of the following is the newspaper editor's opinion according to Paragraph2?
A. People's appearances carry messages about themselves.
B. Customers' choices influence dress standards in companies.
C. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.
D. Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.
33. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Employees Matter
B. Personal Choices Matter
C. Appearances Matter
D. Hiring Managers Matter
34. The author's attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace can be described as .
A. negative
B. enthusiastic
C. positive
D. supportive
35."its" in the last sentence refers to _____.
A. candidate’s
B.the job’s
C.the competition’s
D. the company’s

Making peace with Your Parents
As a teen, you’re going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests are expanding. 36
Here is the challenge:Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers that are out in that world. These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in calm houses. Sometimes conflicts can’t be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.
For instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted, or hungry. A good time to talk is when you’re all relaxed. Timing is everything. If the c onversation begins to turn into an argument, you’d better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation---for now. 37 Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you’re listening. 38
Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and
care about each other’s feelings can disagree without things getting ugly.
39 How do you build trust? Trust comes by actually doing what you say you’re going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule-makers---they’re interesting people who like to watch movies and go shopping---just like the teenagers!
What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky? 40 You can find supportive adults, such as a teacher or a coach, who can lend an ear.
Remember you can only change your own behaviour. Your parents are the only ones who can change theirs.
A.It also gives them a change to clear things up if you’re not on the same page.
B.You can pick it up again when everyone’s more relaxed.
C.And then you’ll be able to accept what your parents say.
D.Faced with the challenge, children don’t know what to do.
E.You are more likely to get along with your parents and have more independence if your parents believe in you.
F.And your desire to take control of your own life is growing.
G.You may consider seeking outside help.

Nowadays it is not unusual for many students to find part-time jobs.During this past summer holiday, I once worked as a waiter at a MCDonald’s. At first I could not stand the hard work. But as time went on, I came to realize that I did a meaningful thing. First I earned enough money which can support my future study. Today some of us keep on asking parents for money, but now I didn’t have to do so. It’s really great. And I began to learn about the value of money.
Besides, I also learned how to get along with others. It gets me prepared for my future work, so I suggest all of us students getting a part-time job so that we can get a little working and social experience.
That’s all. Thank you.。
