第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
A
Sports are the base of my life, next to my mother who raised me when my dad left us. I have been into sports since I was six years old. I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips, but they usually focused on drills to develop my skills and reach the next level of play.
When I was in Senior two, I met the new school basketball coach, Brian Pawloski. I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before. I showed up to the tryouts and put out about 90% effort since I thought I’d make it with no problem. That was a big mistake.
Brian Pawl ski is the hardest-working coach I have ever met. He didn’t’t expect 100% effort, he expected 200% effort. One example: he once made us do 40 suicide drills for the 40 lay-ups(投篮) we missed in a game. Some think this is crazy, but it isn’t. After this conditioning practice, as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink, I said, “Coach, that was the best practice I ever had.” I was completely sincere. This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school. He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom. If I am not working on basketball, I am reading a book that he thinks will help us better understand life’s challenges, including Wooden, Coach and The Screw tape Letters.
In the first two years I slacked off, not putting forth my full potential. Now, unlike the coaches of my youth, this man was interested in how we did off the court. He always made sure I kept up with my studies and was able to be trusted. I can honestly say that no other
coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball, but more importantly, in life. My school is lucky to have such a great person to teach, coach and influence their students. I will always remember my high-school basketball days as one of the hardest times I have ever worked in my life not only in basketball but in my growth as an individual.
21.Different from other coaches, Coach Brian _____________.
A. concentrated on skill training
B. trained the team to the edge of death
C. expected the team to do well in their studies
D. asked the team to do more reading than training
22.The underlined phrase “slacked off” in the last paragraph probably means ________.
A. paid no attention
B. showed no interest
C. had less passion
D. made less effort
23.In the author’s eyes, Coach Brian is ____________.
A. strict and helpful
B. hardworking and honest
C. skilled and cruel
D. professional and serious
B
The elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep. A few dogs started barking at it. The elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety.
That didn't stop the elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then someone suggested calling Pārbati, the elephant princess.
Pārbati Bara’s father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. He taught Pārbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up -- how to catch wild elephants.
Pārbati hasn't always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to boarding school in the city. But Pārbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old fife. "Life in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase," she says.
But Pārbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun. "My work," she says, "is to rescue man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man." And this is exactly what Pārbati has been doing for many years. Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It
is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Pārbati is called to
guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.
The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant. "Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them. They are also more loyal than humans," she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed!
24.For Pārbati, catching elephants is mainly to _______. .
A. get long lasting excitement
B. keep both man and elephants safe
C. send them back to the jungle
D. make the angry elephants tame
25.Before Pārbati studied in a boarding school, ________ .
A. she spent her time hunting with her father
B. she learned how to sing love songs
C. she had already been called an elephant princess
D. she was taught how to hunt tigers
26.Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge because __________.
A. they are caught and sent for heavy work
B. illegal hunters capture them and kill them
C. they are attacked and their land gets limited
D. dogs often bark at them and chase them
27.The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India _________.
A. people easily fall victim to elephants' attacks
B. the man-elephant relationship is getting worse
C. elephant tamers are in short supply
D. dogs are as powerful as elephants
C
Owls and Larks
Larks are most likely to be healthy, wealthy and wise, according to the old saying.
But those who are early to bed and early to rise do not always have the upper hand, researchers say. They have found that night owls are generally brighter and wealthier than those able to get up early in the morning.
Experts from the University of Madrid carried out tests on around 1,000 teenagers and found that those who preferred to stay up late demonstrated the kind of intelligence associated with honored jobs and higher incomes. ‘Larks’ or ‘morning people’, however, often acquired better exam results, possibly because lessons are held at the wrong time of day for night owls. The researchers examined the habits and body clocks of the youngsters to determine whether they liked to stay up late and sleep in later in the morning, or preferred to go to bed early and were at their peak in the morning. School performance and inductive (归纳的) intelligence, or problem solving, were measured and academic grades in the major subjects were also taken into account. The results showed that evening types scored higher than morning types on inductive reasoning, which has been shown to be a good estimate of general intelligence and a strong indicator of academic performance. They also had a greater capacity to think conceptually as well as analytically. Such abilities have been linked to innovative thinking, more admired occupations and better incomes.
Famous night owls include President Obama, Charles Darwin, Winston Churchill, Keith Richards and Elvis Presley. George W Bush, who is regularly in bed by 10pm, Thomas Edison, Napoleon, Condoleezza Rice who wakes at 4.30am, and Ernest Hemingway are among those known as larks. Jim Horne, professor of psychophysiology at Southborough University, said: “Evening types tend to be the more active and creative types, the poets, artists and inventors, while the morning types are the deduces (推断者), as are often seen with civil servants and accountants.” A previous study of US Air Force recruits found evening types were much better at thinking to solve problems than larks.
28.What does the word “owl” mean in the text ?
A. A bird of prey that flies at night
B. A kind of person who stays up late
C. A kind of person who gets up early
D. A bird of prey that is a symbol of wisdom
29.The following features belong to night owls EXCEPT that _______.
A. Night owls are much healthier, wealthier and wiser
B. Night owls stay up late and sleep later in the morning
C. Night owls have a strong ability of inductive reasoning
D. Night owls are expert in analyzing and innovative thinking
30.What’s the author’s attitude towards night owls?
A. Doubtful.
B. Objective.
C. Subjective.
D. Negative.
31.According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. The early bird will catch the worm.
B. Morning types have a tendency to do some creative jobs.
C. Night owls usually do poorer in the examinations than larks.
D. President Obama and George W Bush are models of night owls.
D
Every day we are exposed to images, videos, music and news. In this age of visual and aural hyper-stimulation, the medium of radio is making a great comeback.
“We’re at the beginning of a golden age of audio(音频),” said US-based podcaster Alex Blumberg in an article in The Sydney Morning Herald. In the last month alone, 15 percent of US adults listened to a radio podcast (播客). These statistics, released by Edison Research, show the successful evolution of traditional radio broadcasts to the present day’s digital podcast format. The term “podcast” was invented in 2004, but the trend only started gaining mainstream popularity in recent years. With the sharp increase in consumer demand for smart phones and tablets, podcast sales have jumped.
The appeal of the podcast partly lies in its multiplatform delivery and on-demand capabilities (功能). You can listen during those extra minutes of the day when you’re walking to th e shops, waiting in a queue or riding the subway. Similar to television shows, podcasts are generally free to download and most offer new content every week.
Donna Jackson, 22, Sydney University media graduate, listens to podcasts two or three times a week, via iTunes. “I listen while I’m wandering around the house doing something else. It makes completing a boring task much more enjoyable… And it’s an easy way of keeping in touch with what’s going on in the rest of the world,” she said, “I mainly listen to BBC podcasts, but recently I’ve also been listening to This American Life and Serial. They have a special skill to really draw you in.”
Unlike television and music, the audio format has the potential to create a deep impression on readers. Blumberg says t his owes to the podcast’s ability “to create close relationship and emotional connection.” Sydney University undergraduate Hazel Proust, majoring in social work and arts, agrees. “When you’re listening, it feels as if the voice of the podcast’s storyteller is talking directly to you. It’s comforting, ” said Proust.
It seems the age-old tradition of verbal storytelling is very much alive and well.
32.From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that ________.
A. traditional broadcast has come back
B. Americans love listening to the radio
C. podcasts have become very popular today
D. smart phones sell well because of podcasts
33.The writer mentions Donna Jackson mainly to ________.
A. tell how young people relax themselves
B. explain why young people like podcasts
C. introduce what programs podcasts are presenting
D. show how popular podcasts are presenting
34.Paragraph 5 is mainly about ________.
A. the influence of radios
B. the advantage of podcasts
C. readers’ impression on radios
D. people’s reaction to the medium
35.What is probably the best title of the passage?
A. Return of Radio
B. Opinions of Podcast
C. Features of Radio
D. Technology of Podcast

36.The average computer user has between 5 and 15 username/password combinations to
log in different kinds of accounts. Some demand you use a specific number of symbols and digits, while others require you to change your password every 60 days. The feeling of confusion resulting from memorizing these login information has grown so common that it actually has a name: password fatigue(疲劳). Having to remember so many
different passwords is annoying, but it can also be dangerous. Because it is virtually
impossible to remember a unique password for each of these accounts, many people leave handwritten lists of usernames and passwords on or next to their computers. (1) While these practices make it easier to remember login information, they also make it easier for thieves to hack into accounts.
Single Sign-On (SSO) confirmation and password management software can help solve this problem. With SSO, users only need to remember one password to log in to the main system.
37.(2) SSO software is typically used by large companies, schools, or libraries.
38.(3) If a user loses or forgets the password required to log in to SSO software, the user
will then lose access to all of the applications linked to the SSO account. Users who rely on password management software face the same problems.
39.Although most websites or network systems allow users to recover or change lost
passwords by providing email addresses or answering a prompt(提示), this process can waste time and cause further frustration. What is more, recovering a forgotten password is only a temporary solution. (4) Some computer scientists have suggested computers rely on biometrics(生物测定学).
40. (5) The use of biometrics raises questions concerning privacy and can also be
expensive to practice. Software engineers and computer security experts are still
searching for the cure to password fatigue. Until they find the perfect solution, however, everyone will simply have to rely on the password system currently in place.
A. It does not address the larger problem of password fatigue.
B. These software programs have been built into many major web browsers.
C. The problem with password management software makes users feel powerless.
D. The SSO software then automatically logs the user in to other accounts within the
system.
E. However, SSO confirmation and password management software also have drawbacks.
F. This is a method of recognizing human users based on unique traits, such as
fingerprints, voice, or DNA.
G. Others solve this problem by using the same password for every account or using
extremely simple passwords.
