四、阅读理解。 (共5题；共36分)

17. （6分）根据短文理解，选择正确答案。

Cats are creatures of habit. They like to go to sleep about the same time every day and for a certain

length of time. They seem to have a natural clock inside them that tells them when to sleep. Cats increase their regular sleep with occasional cat naps(打盹). Some experts feel that humans could also benefit from this habit. Cat naps help to build up energy in the body. They are also a good way to get rid of trouble! Since cats have the same moods as humans, some experts believe that people can improve their moods. People might become happier.

A number of famous people have copied cats by taking cat naps during the day. The naps would usually last from 15 to 30 minutes. Winston Churchill took cat naps. So did Presidents Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson. These famous men were known for their energy. They were also able to work long hours, often into the night. Napping was their secret.

（1）Naps usually last _________.

A . three hours

18. （8分） Our spiritual intelligence quotient, SQ (精神智商)helps us understand ourselves and live fuller, happier lives.

While we're all born with SQ, most of us even don't know that we have it. Luckily, you don't have to sign up for classes to learn how to enhance(加强) your SQ. Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding:

Sit Quietly. The step of developing SQ begins in solitude （独处） and silence. To tune in to its whisper, you have to keep away from your busy, noisy, complicated life and make yourself do nothing at all. At home, for example, shut the door of your bedroom, take a few deep breaths and let them out very, very slowly.

Step Outside. For many people, nature makes their spirit free. Go outside to watch a beautiful

sunset. Follow the flight of a bird; watch clouds floating overhead.

Find An Activity You Enjoy. It's important to find a hobby that helps you tune in to your spirit. Garden, walk or jog, arrange flowers, listen to music that touches your soul.

Ask Questions Of Yourself. Some people use their thoughtful time to focus on scriptures (经文). Others ask open-ended (无确定答案的) questions, such as “What am I feeling? What are my choices?”But don't expect an answer to arrive through some super-natural form of e-mail. Later that day you’ll suddenly find yourself thinking about a problem from a perspective (角度) you never considered before.

Trust Your Spirit. While most of us rely on gut feelings (直觉) to warn us of danger, SQ usually nudges （渐渐推动） us, not away from, but toward some action that will lead to a greater good.

（1）To enhance your SQ, you should first _______________.

A . stand loneliness and silence

B . make your life simpler and less busy

C . give up the daily things in your life

D . listen more to your whisper

（2）The underlined phrase “tune in to your spirit” in the fifth paragraph probably means ________________.

A . get your spirit relaxed

B . keep up your spirit

C . listen to your spirit

D . change your spirit

（3）What will happen after people ask questions of themselves?

A . People will lead to a greater good.

B . People will think about a problem in a different way.

C . People will expect answers through e-mails.

D . People will keep away from their busy life.

（4）What is the best title for the passage?

A . Advantages and disadvantages of SQ

B . The relationship between your SQ and you

C . What SQ is and in what ways it can be improved

D . What SQ is and in what ways you can make your life easier

19. （8分）阅读理解

A doctor entered the hospital hurriedly after being called in for an important surgery(外科手术).He found the boy's father in the hall waiting worriedly.

On seeing him, the father cried out, "Why did you take all this time to come？Don't you know that my son is in danger？Don't you have any sense of duty？"

The doctor smiled and said, "I am sorry. I wasn't in the hospital and I came as fast as I could after receiving the call and now, I wish you'd calm down so that I can do my work."

"Calm down？！What if your son was in this room right now？Would you calm down？If your own son dies while waiting for a doctor, then what will you do？"said the father angrily. The doctor smiled again and replied, "We will do our best and you should also pray for your son's healthy life."

The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happily, "Thank goodness！Your son is saved！"And without waiting for the father's reply he carried on his way running by saying, "If you have any questions, ask the nurse."

"Couldn't he wait some minutes so that I can ask about my son's state？"shouted the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.

The nurse answered, tears coming down her face, "His son died yesterday in a road accident. He was at the burial(葬礼)when we called him for your son's surgery. And now that he saved your son's life, he left running to finish his son's burial."

（1）What did the doctor do after he received the call for the surgery?

D . He waited until his son's burial was finished.

20. （8分） If you are lost in the mountains, stay calm in the face of darkness, loneliness, and the unknown. It will greatly increase your chances of survival. Many people think that preparing necessary equipment and knowing how to use it are very important, but actually eighty percent of mountain survivals is your reaction(反应) to fear.

Find a hiding place.

Unnecessary efforts will make you sweat and make you cold. Find a hiding place around you before trying to start your own construction. If you are in a snow-covered area, you may be able to dig a cave in deep snow for protection from the wind. You should try to hide yourself in the middle of the mountain if possible. Stay out of valleys—cold air falls, and the valley floor can be the coldest area on the mountain.

Signal rescuers for help.

The best time to signal rescuers(救援者) is during the day. Signal for help from the highest point possible—it will be easier for rescuers to see you, and any sound you make will farther. If you take a box of matches and a space blanket (a special blanket for traveling), build three smoky fires and put your blanket—gold side facing out—on the ground.

Do not walk away.

It will make finding you more difficult, as search teams will be trying to follow your path and may miss you if you have gone off in a different direction. Searchers often end up finding a car with no one.

If you get frostbite（冻伤）, do not rewarm the affected area until you're out of danger. You can walk on frostbitten feet, but once you warm the area and can feel the pain, you will not want to walk anywhere. Try to protect the frostbitten area and keep it dry until you are rescued.

（1）When lost in the mountains, you can increase your chances of survival if you _____.

A . try to find a car immediately

B . take a space blanket with you

C . do more physical labor

D . walk as far as possible to find help

（2）According to the passage, people most probably fail to survive if they _____.

A . do not keep themselves warm

B . stay in the middle of the mountain

C . do not take enough equipment

D . stay in a snow-covered area

（3）What can we infer from the passage?

A . Never go to unfamiliar places alone

B . Mountain traveling is dangerous

C . Don’t get frightened in danger

D . Don’t travel by yourself

（4）The passage talks mainly about _____.

A . mountain traveling

B . mountain dangers

C . mountain survivals

D . mountain searching

21. （6分）阅读理解

Once a traveller came into a village which was suffering from hunger. The villagers asked him to leave, for they feared he wanted them to give him food. They told him that there was no food. The traveller explained that he didn't need any food and that, in fact, he was planning to make a soup to share with them instead. The villagers watched suspiciously as he built a fire and filled a pot with water With great ceremony(仪式), he pulled a stone from a bag, and dropped the stone into the pot of water. After a moment, he smelt the soup and shouted with excitement, “How delicious the soup is!” As the villagers began to show interest, he mentioned how good the soup would be with just a little cabbage in it. A villager brought out a cabbage to share. This episode(情节) repeated itself until the soup had cabbage, carrots, onions, and beets—indeed, a full pot of soup that could feed everyone in the village was ready. This story describes when there are not enough resources(资源), humans will store things. We do not want to share. The story of stone soup helps us realize that, in doing so, we often prevent ourselves and everyone else from having a feast(盛宴).The meaning of this story goes far beyond food. We keep to ourselves ideas, love, and energy, thinking we will be richer, but in fact we make the world, and ourselves, poorer. The traveller was able to see that the villagers were holding back, and he had the ability to inspire(激发) them to give. In this way, they created a large meal that none of them could have created alone. Are you like one of the villagers? If you come forward and share your gifts, you will inspire others to do the same. The reward is a feast that can feed many.

（1）What does the underlined word “suspiciously” most probably mean?

A . doubtfully

B . excitedly

C . curiously

D . fearfully

（2）The traveller put a stone into the pot in order to .

A . teach the villagers to cook a soup with stone

B . inspire the villagers to bring out their own food

C . prove to the villagers that he didn't want their food

D . help villagers to survive by giving them some food

（3）The writer mainly wants to tell us that .

A . storing things in hard times is human nature

B . a good leader is very necessary in hard times

C . skills are needed to inspire people to share with others

D . sharing is more important than keeping things to oneself
