第二部分：阅读理解
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项（A、Ｂ、Ｃ和Ｄ）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
In March 1987, I started a new magazine called Creating Excellence. It was a very proud moment for me. I’d worked hard for over a year to create it, and the premiere issue (首次发刊) was a real success.
Shortly after we had mailed 25,000 copies, I received one in the mail. But this one wasn’t as beautiful as the ones we’d sent out. It was marked in red ink correcting the grammatical errors (语法错误) in it. A talented editor had read it carefully and found more errors than I could have imagined.
I felt abashed. A magazine called Creating Excellence should be perfect in its content (内容). The stories were good, but the errors this woman had found showed that our magazine was far from being excellent.
At first, I was not satisfied with my editor for not having avoided the mistakes, and dissatisfied with the woman who seemed to have taken pleasure in pointing them out. Later, I was dissatisfied with myself for not having employed a better editor (编辑).
Then I realized that I had to face up to my mistake. I called the woman. I thanked her for taking the time to read our magazine so carefully. Painful as it was, I accepted responsibility for it.
Then I offered her the job of editing our magazine. The result was a great improvement in it; we could now be very proud of our magazine.
From this I learnt that an upsetting moment can be an opportunity to see the truth, and it can help to prevent one making the same mistakes, and to make "excellence" a reality.
21. From the first paragraph we learn that _____.
A. the author put little effort into her first magazine
B. the author’s job was selling magazines
C. the author was very satisfied with her work
D. the author experienced a total failure
22. What does the underlined word "abashed" in the third paragraph mean?
A. Excited.
B. Embarrassed.
C. Interested.
D. Exhausted.
23. What do we learn about the woman who found the errors in the magazine?
A. She was causing trouble on purpose.
B. She liked pointing out the errors of others.
C. She contributed a lot to the success of the premiere issue.
D. She ended up joining the magazine team.
24. What do we learn from this passage?
A. Pride is the biggest enemy of success.
B. Success is behind many failures.
C. Pointing out others’ mistakes can help you find a job.
D. Accepting responsibility for one’s errors can lead to real excellence.

Reading is the key to school success, and like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. A great athlete practices until he can play quickly, correctly, without thinking. Tennis players call that being in the zone. Educators call it automaticity (自动性).
A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and get the meanings of the words. With practice, he speaks with fewer and fewer pauses and mistakes, reading by the phrase. With
automaticity, he doesn’t have to think about getting the meanings of the words, so he can pay attention to the meaning of the text.
It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in an Illinois school, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found automatic readers in the first grade who were reading almost three times as fast as the other children and scoring twice as high on comprehension tests. At fifth grade, the automatic readers were reading twice as fast as the others, and still outscoring them on correctness, comprehension(理解力)and vocabulary.
It’s not IQ but the amount of time a child spends reading that is the key to automaticity, according to Rossman. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will most probably reach automaticity. At home where the average child spends 25 hours a week watching television, it can happen by turning off the set just one night in favor of reading.
You can test your child by giving him a paragraph or two to read aloud---something unfamiliar but suitable to his age. If he reads aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, he probably is an automatic reader. If he reads hesitatingly, one word at a time without expression or meaning, he needs more practice.
28. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. How to score high on comprehension tests.
B. Reading is the key to school success.
C. How to test your child’s reading ability
D. Automaticity is important for effective reading.
29. According to the writer, an automatic reader _________.
A. sounds out the letters
B. pays attention to the meaning of the text
C. has a high IQ
D. focus on the structures of the sentences
30. A study shows that the automatic reader’s high speed _________.
A. costs him a lot of time
B. doesn’t last long
C. puts him at an advantage
D. doesn’t affect his comprehension
31. According to the passage, we can infer that a bright child _________.
A. also needs practice to be an automatic reader
B. always achieves great success in comprehension tests
C. becomes an automatic reader after learning how to read
D. is a born automatic reader

Motherhood may make women smarter and may help prevent dementia(痴呆) in old age by bathing the brain in protective hormones(荷尔蒙) , U.S. researchers reported on Thursday.
Tests on rats show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no babies, and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as Alzheimer’s(早老痴呆症). University of Richmond psychology professor Craig Kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans.
“Our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy(怀孕) are protecting the brain, including estrogen(雌激素), which we know has many neuroprotective (保护神经的) effects,” Kinsley said.
“It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals,” he added in a telephone interview. “They go through pregnancy and hormonal changes.”
Kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from Alzheimer’s and other forms of age-related brain decline.
“When people think about pregnancy, they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down,” said Kinsley, who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in Orlando, Florida.
“They do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain. If you lo ok at female animals who have never gone through pregnancy, they act differently toward young. But if she goes through pregnancy, she will sacrifice her life for her infant—that is a great change in her behavior that showed in genetic alterations(改变) to th e brain.”
32. How do scientists know “Motherhood may make women smarter”?
A. Some researchers have told them.
B. Many women say so.
C. They know it by experimenting on rats.
D. They know it through their own experience.
33. What can protect the brain of a woman according to the passage?
A. Estrogen.
B. The hormones of pregnancy.
C. More exercise.
D. Taking care of children.
34. “It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals.” What does the sentence suggest?
A. The experiments on the rats have nothing to do with humans.
B. The experiments on the rats are very important for animals.
C. The experiments on the rats are much the same on humans.
D. The experiments on the rats are much the same on other animals.
35. Which title is the best for this passage?
A. Do You Want to Be Smarter?
B. Motherhood Makes Women Smarter
C. Mysterious Hormones
D. An Important Study

History is a record of what has happened in the past. 36 The really fascinating thing is that much of history has been repeated time and again. It allows us to learn from the past, both the mistakes made and the successes achieved.
One of the benefits of history is reading how other people both famous and totally unknown have overcome great challenges in their life. These challenges, although particular to a person, or to a certain time in the past, or occurring in a different country or culture, all convey (传达) the same thing. 37

Or, consider the story of Abraham Lincoln who managed to become President of the United States even though he suffered many setbacks and personal losses. Most of us only realize the success of Mr. Lincoln becoming President. 40 His life was not an easy one. His story is one that motivates us to keep moving forward no matter what obstacles we have in life.
A. It has a lot of influence on us.
B. Take for example the story of Thomas Edison.
C. It has some very unique qualities about it.
D. I am sure he was discouraged by his many failures.
E. They convey wisdom in their short stories of perseverance (毅力).
F. Few of us knew about the many challenges he had to overcome.
G. Only those with courage to face challenges can hope to live their dreams.

On every side of the road were green fields and some farm house. We could hear the sound of the rain and our footsteps mixing with our laughter. At noon we reached top of the mountain.

We are wet to the skin, and we still sang and laughed happily.
