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)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A,B,C和D)中选出最佳选项。
A
I learnt about the Pygmalion effect (皮格玛丽翁效应) when I was 7 years old at Riverdale School in Palmerston North and I copied Melissa Crawford’s answers in a spelling test. Before that I was average at school but after that, because Melissa Crawford was smart, and I got all the right answers, I got put in all the smart kids groups.
From then on, I did really well at school because it was believed by the teachers that I would and I also got grouped with the smart kids. This experience that occurred at my primary school shows just how important the Pygmalion effect is in terms of being around mentors (导师) that expect that you' re going to do well and also being around people who are smart.
The Pygmalion effect is one principle you want to use if you want to make money fast. Have mentors that expect you will make money fast and as an extra boost hang around, copy and learn from other people who are also making money fast.
Yesterday this site had over 5,000 unique visitors and the traffic to it is increasing all the time. A year ago I contacted a group of people who got lots of traffic on their websites and I learnt from them. Truthfully I didn’t know if they expected me to start getting such traffic to websites but 1 imagined they did.
So there you have it the Pygmalion effect.
P. S. My grammar and spelling are not that great nowadays but that's actually completely irrelevant (不相关的) when it comes to getting lots of visitors to your site.
14
21. When did the author learn about the Pygmalion effect?
A . Before he took the spelling test. B. After he cheated in the spelling test.
C. When he did badly in exams. D. After he finished primary school.
22. The author got grouped with the smart kids because ______.
A. he was an average pupil at school B. he did better than expected
C. Melissa Crawford was smart D. he did better than all the others at school
23. What does the underlined word “contacted” mean in the passage?
A. Lost touch with B. Made friends with
C. Got in touch with D. Was concerned about
24. Where does this passage probably taken from?
A. A science report B. A newspaper.
C.A website. D. A magazine.

Your four-legged friends may soon have their own channel. DogTV, cable TV’s first channel for dogs, is mostly about keeping lonely dogs calm.
14
There are about 78 million canines(犬) in the United States. DogTV is aimed at the many of these that are left alone for long periods. Dogs are social animals and often grow anxious when left on their own. They may bark, chew shoes, and generally get into trouble. DogTV, which was launched last February, is designed to help ease their boredom and anxiety.
Creators of the cable service approached their task scientifically. The sounds, colors, and camera angles have all been adjusted for canine senses. For instance, colors are made more vivid so that dogs can see objects clearly. DogTV does not, as you might think, show Scooby-Doo and Clifford the Big Red Dog. Rather, there are three types of DogTV “shows.” The first aims to relax dogs. These segments show dogs resting to the sound of calming music. The second kind shows pleasant (for a dog) day-to-day settings, like riding in a car or walking down a street. The third type is meant to stimulate ---like a scene of two dogs playing in a field. “Dogs love watching other dogs being active on the screen,” says Beke Lubeach, a DogTV spokesperson. She says that birds, monkeys, and zebras also make dogs take notice.
Not everyone is buying it. “I think a lot of this is to make us feel better as opposed to making the pet happier,” says Dr. Ann. E. Hohenhaus of New York’s Animal Medical Center. She tells The New York Times, “Your pet needs adequate exercise and an interesting environment.” You cannot just turn on the TV and hope your dog is going to get better.
On the other hand, the Humane Society animal shelter in Escondido, California, tried out DogTV at its shelter. Sally Costello, the director, says workers observed that dogs exposed to the channel were calmer and barked less.
DogTV has been seen only in Southern California so far. But it is scheduled to go national soon. Owners of the commercial-free channel hope to charge about $5 a month for their service.
28. The following programs are often broadcast on DogTV EXCEPT________.
A. Dogs resting to the sound of calming music.
B. Programs like Cliff ford the Big Red Dog.
C. A scene of two dogs playing in a field
D. Dogs riding in a car or walking down a street
14
29. What does Dr. Ann E. Hohenhaus agree according to the fourth paragraph?
A. Everyone who owns dogs will buy the service.
B. DogTV can make your dogs happier and happier.
C. Dogs need more than a good animal channel.
D. DogTV makes people happier than pet dogs.
30. Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage?
A. DogTV will only be seen in Southern California.
B. There will be many ads on the animal Channel.
C. Dog owners will enjoy the programs very much.
D. Dogs exposed to the channel will become calmer.
31. Which of the following can serve as the best title for this passage?
A. How to Make Your Dog Happier. B. A New TV for Dogs
C. How to Keep Dogs Calm. D. A New Channel to Calm Dogs Down
D
Find a quiet location. Keep a routine. Focus on one subject at a time. It all seems like sound advice for students who need to hit the books, but recent studies indicate the conventional wisdom is all wrong.
Here's a list of tips from Carey, a scientist, for getting the most out of your study time:
Test yourself:Doing practice quizzes can help you retrieve information on test day. “Tests have a very bad reputation as a measurement tool,” Carey says. But psychologists have found self-tests slow down the forgetting of material you've studied. “If you study something once, and then you test yourself on it,” Carey says, “you do better than if you study it twice over.”
Move around: Changing up where you study can help you retain more information. “If you move around and study the same material in several places,” he says, “you may be forming…multiple associations for the same material, the same words and so on. So it's
14
better organized in your brain, and you can pull it out easier.”
Mix it up:Think about a football player who does strength training, speed training and drills. Carey says alternating between different facets of a subject in a single sitting can “leave a deeper impression on the brain”. For example, when studying French, do some verbs, some speaking and some reading. Spending your time in deep concentration on just verbs, say, isn't as effective.
Space it out:Information learned in a hurry is lost just as fast. Carey likes cramming your brain to speed-packing a cheap suitcase—it all falls out. So if you really want to learn, space out shorter, hour-long study sessions. “There's no doubt you can cram your way through an exam,” Carey says. The problem is that it's so easy to forget what you just crammed—and once it's gone, Carey says, “It's gone. You're not getting it back.”
Of course, nothing can replace the power of motivation and discipline. But Carey says the overall message is encouraging:“Studying can sort of be incorporated into a more varied life, much more easily than we thought.”
32.According to the text, the best way to learn is ________.
A.to learn one's subject at a time in a quiet place
B.to be strongly motivated to learn something
C.to mix up everything that you will learn
D.to do self-tests after you learn immediately
33.Why are you advised to move around while learning?
A. Because it can make your brain focus on learning.
B. Because you can save time by missing the same words.
C. Because you can connect materials with different things.
D. Because it keeps your brain in a completely resting state.
34.How did the writer develop the fifth paragraph?
A.By telling an interesting story. B.By presenting in the time order.
C.By analyzing causes and effects. D.By making a comparison.
35.It can be inferred from what Carey said in the third paragraph that ________.
A.tests used to be treated as a tool to judge learners
B.tests would slow down your study
14
C.tests were the best way to learn new information
D.tests do good to you more than learning itself

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
Can you imagine your parents choosing your husband or wife for you? And can you imagine not setting eyes on him or her until your wedding day? This situation is common in India, the Middle East and many parts of Africa, 36 We don't realize that people in other places often get married in very different ways ---and with different motives(动机).
37 A marriage provides a safe and stable home for the husband and wife.It also joins children, making sure the couple will be taken care of in old age.Because a marriage is important for the whole family, some cultures don't let young people choose whom to marry.
Just as there are many different reasons for marriage, there are also many different wedding rituals(仪式), 38 In a typical Western wedding, the bride seeks good luck by wearing “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.” Something old represents the past.Something new represents success in the future.Something borrowed reminds the bride she can get help from her friends and family. 39
In Poland, one wedding tradition is not only lucky, but also very practical.The wedding guests pin money to the bride's dress while she is dancing.The money is meant to bring luck and to help the young couple build their new life.In Bermuda, the young couple plants a tree in the yard of their new home.Once they move in, they take good care of the tree , making it grow and blossom.The planting of the tree is a good metaphor(隐喻) for marriage. 40
A.Every culture has its own ways of bringing good luck to the happy couple.
B.A truly good marriage is something that grows with care.
C.In the United States, parents do not arrange marriages for their children.
D.And something blue reminds her to be true to her husband.
E.Marriage customs around the world often differ from our own.
F.In many countries, marriage is a practical matter.
G.Different countries have different cultures.

A kind of little cars may someday take place of today’s big ones. If people drive such cars in the future, there would be less pollution in the air. There will be more spaces for parking cars in cities. The streets will be less crowd. And driving will be safe as these little cars can go only 65 km per hour. The future cars will be fine for getting round a city, so they will not be useful for long trips. Little cars will go 200 km before needing to stop for more gases. If big cars are still used along with the small ones, two sets of roads will be needed in the future. Some roads will be used for
14
the big fast cars and another roads will be needed for the slow small ones. It is said that three so little cars can fit in with the space now needed for one car of the usual size.
