第二部分阅读理解:（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）
第一节：阅读下列短文, 从每题后面所给的选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。

A
During the Olympics, I passed my fortieth birthday. That day I was full of emotional thoughts, because when the day of my birthday approached, I was broadcasting an exciting competition. Twenty-four hours later, when my birthday was passing, I was still broadcasting.
I felt very fortunate, because it was such a special fortieth birthday at the Beijing Olympics that made me realize the Chinese Dream behind my personal story. It was in this kind of forty years that I went from a far-away border-town kid who had no possibility of having a dream, to a newsman who could be at a big festival celebrated with all of humanity and who could communicate and share the happiness with them. This was a life story that took place in China.
In the past 30 years, the Chinese Dream is relevant to more and more ordinary Chinese people. I don’t know what othe r country in this world, in the past 30 years, has changed the individual fates at this scale. A kid from a remote small city, a kid in despair, today has the chance to have an exchange with these Yale (耶鲁大学) students. Maybe we can change the viewpoint, and look at 1.3 billion very ordinary Chinese, their down-to-earth dreams, their still kindhearted quality, and their diligent character.
America is facing a very difficult financial crisis, and not only America, but it affects the whole world seriously. Many years ago, if something like this fell upon America, perhaps Chinese people would have taken pleasure, because “you see, America is in a mess again”. But today, Chinese people would especially wish that America could get better soon, because we have hundreds of billions worth of money in America. We also have a huge quantity of products waiting to be put on ship s and sent to America. If America’s economy takes a step for the better, it means behind these products, many Chinese get a raise, it means they regain employment and happiness in the family.
In the past many years, Chinese seemed to be looking at America through a telescope. So everything good that is in America was enlarged by this telescope. Frequently people mentioned America was like t his and like that, then look at us, “when can we be like that?” In the past many years, Americans also seemed to be looking at China through a telescope, but I am guessing they held it backwards, because what they saw was a decreased, always-doing-
wrong, full-of-problem China. They overlooked 1.3 billion very ordinary Chinese people’s impulsive (迫切的) drive and urge to change their fate, which caused such huge transformations in China. But I wonder why do we need to use telescopes to look at each other?
I hope many Americans have a chance to go see China, and not to look at China through the media. M any years ago, in every city of China there was this popular “California Beef Noodle” shop. Many Chinese thought, anything from America was definitely tasty. S o they all went to eat. Although it was not very tasty, they didn’t complain because they knew it was from America. This fast-food chain existed in China for many years, until more and more Chinese people came to America, and searched every corner of California for a California Beef Noodle shop, but could find n one. Only then did Chinese know California doesn’t have such beef noodle, so this chain store in China is in the process of disappearing. This is the kind of difference I am talking about. As we come and go, such misunderstandings will be fewer and fewer.
So lastly I just want to say one thing again. When Mr. Martin Luther King fell down, his words “I have a dream” spread across the world. Now in the distant China that has held on for thousands of y ears, there is also a dream. It belongs to every ordinary Chinese. It is “I have
a dream” written in Chinese.

The e arth won’t always be fit for existence. We know that in two billion years or so, an expanding sun will boil away our oceans, leaving our home in the universe unlivable. Moreover, at least a third of the thousand mile-wide asteroids (小行星) will eventually crash into us, at a rate of about one every 300,000 years.
Considering the risks that humans force to the planet, we might someday leave the earth simply to protect it. Many of the threats that might lead us to consider off-earth living arrangements are actually man-made, and not necessarily in the distant future. The amount of resources we consume each year already goes far beyond what our planet can bear, and the World Wildlife Fund estimates (估计) that by 2030 we will be consuming two planets’ worth of natural resources annually. The Center for Research on the Disasters, an international humanitarian organization, reports that the attack of droughts, earthquakes, and floods over the past decade is three times the number from the 1980s and nearly 54 times that of 1901, when this data was first collected. Some incidents have climate change leading to severe water shortages, the flooding of coastal areas, and widespread starvation. Additionally, the world could end by way of deadly pathogen (病原体), nuclear war or the misuse of increasingly powerful technologies.
None of the threats we face are especially far-fetched (牵强附会的). Climate change is already a major factor in human affairs, and our planet has undergone at least one previous mass extinction (灭绝) as a result of asteroid impact and the dinosaurs died out. They were too stupid to build an adequate space civilization. So far, the difference between us and them is barely measurable. Some scientists declare that any of the unavoidable disasters means that we must prepare a copy of our civilization and move it into outer space and out of harm’s way—a backup of our cultural achievements and traditions. In 2005, NASA administrator Griffin described the aims of the national space program in similar terms. “If we humans want to survive for hundreds of thousands or millions of years, we must eventually settle on other planets,” he said. “One day, I don’t know when that day is, there will be more human beings who live off the e arth than on it.”
51. The author believes that _______.
A. Man is to blame for many threats to the earth
B. humans will eventually disappear
C. all the earth problems can be solved by Man
D. the earth is the only place for Man
52. According to the passage, what caused the dinosaurs’ dying out?
A. Their lack of civilization
B. Asteroid influence
C. The struggle of dinosaurs
D. Space technology
53. The underlined word backup here means _______.
A. harm’s way
B. outer space
C. copy
D. support
54. The passage intends to tell us _______.
A. the sun will boil away all our oceans
B. why we might leave our home planet
C. humans will force risks to outer space
D. how to deal with unavoidable disasters
55. The author’s attitude towards the future of our planet is full of _______.
A. confidence
B. optimism
C. sadness
D. worry
D
The discovery of the giant panda in 1869 hit the world. Western explorers came to the
giant panda areas, trying to uncover the mystery of pandas. They shot and killed pandas, but they didn’t catch a panda alive. Although westerners had sought pandas for so many years, the understanding of this rare and endangered animal was still blank for the Chinese. The local hunters could hunt the “cat-b ear” at will, for the government then never bothered their heads about any measures to protect their rare animals.
In 1936, the dream of catching a live panda was finally realized by a strong American women. Ruth Harkness, a 35-year-old New York clothes designer, went to China two weeks after her wedding in search of giant pandas with her husband William Harkness, an eager explorer. Yet William died of sickness in Shanghai without reaching his destination for pandas. Ruth had originally been rejected by her husband who had considered her as a burden in the journey. Now, determined to complete her husband’s task, she left for China two months after William’s funeral (葬礼). Ruth’s expedition (远征) involved just two persons—herself and a US-Chinese hunter, Mr. Yang.
Against the currents (激流) of the rivers, they took small wooden boats riding from Shanghai to Sichuan, looking for tracks of pandas. On November 9, in a snow-covered bamboo forest they heard an out-going sound from a hole of a dead tree, like a baby crying. When Mr. Yang carried out a furry animal from the hole, passing it in to Ruth’s arms, she could hardly believe this was the living panda that westerners had dreamed of for more than half a century! Ruth named the three-pound dear darling “Su l in”. Knowing how fortunate she was to gain the precious little Sulin, Ruth quickly returned to Chengdu, then flew to Shanghai. Eventually, Ruth boarded a ship to America, with her Sulin hidden in a large basket, on which was written: pug-dog.
A telegraph had the news spread throughout America while Ruth was still sailing with Sulin on the Pacific. It was the day before Christmas when the ship arrived in San Francisco. The over-amazed Americans held a grand welcoming ceremony at the port, and arranged for the precious guests a grand party.
Sulin was sent to many major cities on display, causing sensations wherever she went. After fierce competitions, the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago won the privilege (特许) of hosting Sulin. People flocked here like tidal waves, to a maximum of 40,000 a day, thus breaking the record of the zoo. Every move of Sulin became the headlines of the newspapers; business guys worked towards products of the panda image; fashionable young women through the streets got dressed in panda pattern swimming suits. The Ruth-Sulin story became the best-seller, and went onto the screen. Unfortunately Sulin lived only one year in America.
From 1936 to 1941, western powers raised a competition in catching Chinese giant pandas. America alone hijacked (劫持) nine pandas from China with “the big help” of the church school in Chengdu. A British stayed in Sichuan for 20 years, and bought nine live pandas and brought six to England with the names of “Han”, “Tang”, “Song”, “Yuan”, “Ming”, “Qing”.
During World War II, the giant panda Ming in London Zoo displayed her calmness and played freely while German planes were bombing fiercely, becoming the ideal of a war hero in the eyes of London citizens. Ming died at the end of 1944. The Times announced the sad news saying: “she could die with nothing to regret, because she brought thousands of people joys”.
In 1945, through diplomatic channels, the British organized a big hunting in Sichuan, with the result of catching a panda to England. Like many things in China, giant pandas first cut a dash in the west, and later got the official attention and a sudden rise in the status. Since 1949, foreigners’ hunt ing has been forbidden in China.
56. The westerners could hunt giant pandas freely because at that time _______.
A. Chinese welcomed these foreign scientists
B. local hunters enjoyed hunting with westerners
C. catching a panda alive was the dream of the world
D. Chinese didn’t understand the importance of rare animals
57. The Ruth-Sulin story shows _______.
A. Ruth was experienced and expert at catching a panda
B. Sulin was happy to leave China for America with Ruth
C. Chinese were willing to send Sulin to an American zoo
D. the fondness of the panda was deeply rooted in America
58. Ming was considered as a war hero because _______.
A. the German bombs could not hurt her
B. she had raised the spirits of the British
C. she died bravely during the bombing
D. there were no war heroes in Britain
59. The underlined phrase “cut a dash” is the same as “______”.
A. lead a comfortable life
B. move in swift manners
C. enjoy great popularity
D. take the shortest way
60. The passage is just about _______.
A. westerners catching giant pandas
B. the loveliness of giant pandas
C. Ruth’s great Chinese expedition
D. panda Sulin and panda Ming

Time Management Tips for the Digital Age
Have you ever noticed the interesting trend: Even though each new development in technology is in itself time-saving, people tend to be busier and busier, from one generation to the next. That’s been an interesting byproduct of the digital age. How can we manage time efficiently in the digital age? Here are some simple but effective time-management tips you can use to get more from every minute you spend online:
61. ________. This is an old piece of time-management advice, but one that still holds a lot of weight in the digital age. If you don’t know what your most important goals are, then it’s hard to know how to spend your time efficiently. This matters more than you might think, especially when it’s so easy to spend time on social media sites, read news, or just kill an hour playing your favorite game. If it truly isn’t important, or if it doesn’t allow you to take a break from the pressures of real life, make time for something else that is.
62. ________. This is also classic advice, but something that takes on an entirely new meaning when you’re surrounded by laptops, iP ads, and smart phones. If you don’t organize your time well on line, you’ll easily find yourself cl icking from one thing to the next simply for fun with time slipping through your fingers quickly. Therefore, it’s suggested that you should have a filing and bookmark system. That way, you’ll always be able to reach details exactly when you need them.
63. ________. You don’t have to be a speed-reader to understand that it’s important to scan
some long documents and pay closer line-by-line attention to others. It doesn’t hurt if we miss some information. The fact is that most of us get more information and detail than we could realistically deal with on any given day. Get good at scanning items, making notes of a few important points, and then moving on. You’ll save tons of time and avoid a lot of stress in the long run.
64. ________. Always bear in mind that educational time isn’t wasted. Here is one thing a lot of people tend to overlook: When you spend time learning to use an application program, or develop a new skill, you may be taking a little bit from your schedule now, but you are also giving yourself many more minutes back later. In other words, that little extra time it takes to get something right in the short term is well worth it, when you figure what will be saved or gained in the long run.
65. ________. We all have the same 24 hours to use each day, regardless of whether we spend them online or off. You don’t need to be accessible 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In fact, always being online reduces your sharpness of mind, and you may fail to obtain all of the information you could otherwise be absorbing. What’s more, being online for too long may make you less productive.
Hopefully the short bits of advice above can help you make the most of your time on the web… and to enjoy the precious mo ments you have away from it as well.

Like most of my schoolmate, I have neither brothers nor sisters. In another words, I am
an only child. Of course my parents love me dearly and will do all they can make sure that I get a
good education. They did not want me to do any work at family—they want me to devote all my
time to my s tudies so that I’ll get well marks in all my subjects. We live under a same roof, but
we
do not get much time to talk about together. It looks as if my parents treated me as a visitor and a
