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，共30分
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A, B, C, D）中选出最佳选项。
A
Two years ago my grandmother was going to turn 75. My family discussed what was the best way to celebrate. Should we throw her a party? Should we take her on a trip? We remembered that she had touched so many people’s lives, and there were so many people for her to consider. Then someone got the idea that we should include everyone in the celebration by turning it into a tribute(献礼) to my grandmother.
We secretly sent out letters to the people in Grandmother’s address book and asked them to send a letter with a memory that they had shared with her. People sent us letters with poems, stories and pictures. The deep feeling that was shared through their reaction surprised us. We compiled(编辑)these letters into a memory book and amazed her with it on the morning of her birthday.
The unusual thing about my grandmother’s friends was not the number that she had, but the connection they shared. In many ways this book of friendship was the greatest achievement of my grandmother’s life.
I believe that developing true friendships is one of the most important things that anyone can do in one’s lifetime. It is not a matter of the number of friends one has, but the quality of the bonds. If one has had at least one true friendship before dying, then one can say one has lived a successful life. I have made many friends and I believe I have begun to develop the same types of friendships my grandmother kept up over her lifetime. I only hope that I will be as successful as she has been.

A. the more friends you have, the better you feel

Some 30 million Americans suffer from insomnia. Here，our experts provide you with four different solutions for getting some rest：
Neil B．Kavey，MD. Director, Sleep Disorders Center. New York Presbyterian Hospital
The sleep specialist. Try behavior changes and proper use of medication. At night，keep away from bright light. In the morning, open the shades and go out for a walk，to tell your brain，“This is the start of the day.” You can try OTC sleep aids，but if you suffer for more than three weeks，see a doctor. Drugs are safe when used properly, and better than the consequences of not sleeping.
Gerald Lemole，MD. Associate Medical Director，Christiana Care Center for Hcart and Vascular Health，Wilmington，Delaware
The alternative source. Stress often plays a part in insomnia，so try to change your reaction to it. Don’t exercise or eat at the end of the day, and avoid or limit caffeine，alcohol and nicotine. Enjoying a warm bath can help. Also，try taking 1000 mg of calcium(it may calm your muscles and nerves，helping you sleep)．
Lisa Derosimo，MD，Owner，The Weight and
The nutritionist. Go to bed and get up at the same time daily. Keep your room dark and quiet，and remove
- 15 -
Wellness Center，Jupiter，Florida
distractions(no working in bed)．Have a cup of herbal (草药)tea，such as chamomile，to relax your body. And remember，people who eat a healthy diet of whole grains，fruits and vegetables，and low-fat protein feel better and sleep better.
Sandra McLanahan，MD，Medical Director，Integral Health Center，Buckingham，Virginia
The mind/body pro. Lying in bed，starting from your legs and moving up to your head，tense your muscles one at a time, and then release. Your body will feel more relaxed, like a rubber band after it’s been stretched. And try alternate nostril(鼻孔)breathing. Exhale(呼气) through one nostril，using your fingers to close the opposite nostril. Breathe in and out; then switch back and forth.
24. Which of the following can help you know you may suffer from insomnia?
A. Laziness. B. Breathlessness. C.Lack of sleep. D. Excitement.
25. Who thinks keeping a regular daily timetable is important in keeping a good sleep?
A. Kavey. B. Derosimo. C. Lemole. D. McLanahan.
26. According to the experts, which of the following may not be a cause of insomnia?
A. Stress. B. Exercise. C. Work. D. Herbal tea.
27. Kavey and Derosimo share the idea in ______to have a good sleep.
A. changing your behaviors
B. avoiding making your bedroom light
C. having regular work and rest
D. eating a healthy diet
C
It’s sometimes said that the US is a “melting pot” of different racial groups living together, but a decision last month set fire to the pot.
On Nov 24, a local court decided not to charge(控告) Darren Wilson, a 28-year-old white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, US. Wilson shot dead the 18-year-old unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson on Aug 9.
By Nov 26, people who were against the decision in 37 US states and Canada had
- 15 -
taken to the streets, said a newspaper.
Wilson said that Brown had hit him and tried to get his gun. In fear for his life, Wilson shot Brown 12 times and killed him. However, some said that Wilson attacked Brown for breaking traffic laws, and shot him for no good reason.
People are wondering whether the same thing would have happened if Brown had been white. The deep racial divide in the US makes the case more than a crime story, said a New York Times article.
It’s been five decades since legal segregation (种族隔离政策) was banned, but a wide gap remains between black and white Americans. The unemployment gap between them is unchanged in 40 years, while the gaps in wealth, income and educational attainment have widened, according to the newspaper.
The case is the latest reminder for some people that the US judicial system doesn’t treat black and white people the same, CNN reported.
Just days before the decision, a white police officer shot and killed a 12-year-old black child, Tamir Rice. Police said that Tamir had an air gun that looked real, according to CNN.
To help with the distrust between police and minority communities (少数民族社区), President Obama said that he would ask Congress for $263 million to buy 50, 000 body-worn cameras for police to record themselves, and improve training to make sure law is obeyed.
“For the people who just feel pained because they get a sense that some communities aren’t treated fairly — I understand that, and I want to work with you, and I want to move forward with you,” Obama said on Dec 2.
28. Which of the following differences between black and white Americans isn’t mentioned in the text?
A. income B. welfare C. education D. jobs
29. We can learn from the text that ______.
A. only black Americans care about the shooting
B. the case is not about a man but about legal segregation.
C. if Brown had been white, the same thing would not have happened.
- 15 -
D. many American Media pay attention to the case
30. President Obama’s attitude towards the case can be described as ______.
A. gentle B. caring C. angry D. hesitant
31. We can infer from the text that ______.
A. the shooting and the decision shock the United States
B. all American policemen are equipped with body-worn cameras
C. all people believe black Americans aren’t treated fairly
D. the police, Wilson, will be charged with the shooting
D
Cooking Kills Four Million People a Year. Polluted airborne particles （大气悬浮颗粒）kill 7 million people a year, reports the World Health Organization．
That news may not come as a surprise to anyone who has seen images of chimneys in Beijing, Delhi or Mexico. But those factories—or even the jammed roadways of modern cities—are not the biggest killer. Each year, some 4.3 million people die earlier than they should because of polluted air inside their homes, says the WHO．
What's causing the air inside people’s homes to be so harmful that it kills around 11, 000 people a day? Stoves(火炉). “Having an open fire in your kitchen is like burning 400 cigarettes an hour”, says Kirk Smith, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley, whose research suggests that household air pollution from cooking killed between 3.5 million and 4 million people in 2013．
Not all stoves cause this kind of harm．The ones Smith’s talking about are those that the 3 billion people in the developing world use for heat and cooking, which burn solid fuels such as wood, coal, or crop waste instead of gas．The smoke from those fires produces harmful fine particles and carbon monoxide into homes．Poor ventilation then prevents that smoke from escaping, raising fine particle levels 100 times higher than the limits that the WHO considers acceptable．
Breathing this air day in day out eventually causes a lot of diseases: more than a third of the 4.3 million die of a stroke, while a quarter die of heart disease．And around one-third of annual lung disease deaths worldwide result from waste from coal

stoves．
It is extremely dangerous for the people to spend the most time around the fire—usually women and young children．In fact, the WHO reports that household air pollution almost doubles the risk for childhood lung disease．
32. According to Kirk Smith’s research, ______．
A. some 4.3 million people die earlier each year than they should
B. cooking smoke should be the deadly killer in a household kitchen
C. polluted airborne particles kill 7 million people a year
D. factories are the biggest killer worldwide nowadays
33. _____ may not cause air pollution according to this passage.
A. Wood B. Coal C. Heavy traffic D. Gas
34. The underlined word “ventilation” in Paragraph 4 probably means ______．
A. burning B. breathing C. airing D. heating
35. The author intends to tell people ______．
A. to know about household air pollution from cooking
B. how to avoid polluted air in their homes
C. to stop cooking in the household kitchen
D. polluted air is harmful

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。
Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel you are already close friends. They are always good talkers.
Here are several skills that good talkers have in common. If you follow the skills, they’ll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly. 36 .
First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, “At business lunches,
- 15 -
I always ask people what they did that morning. 37 .” From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. 38 . Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully.
Real listening at least means some things. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he’s really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. 39
Finally, good talkers know well how to “say goodbye”. If you’re saying goodbye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” 40 . Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away, happy and satisfied.
A. You can become a popular person.
B. Common as the question is, it will get things going.
C. Don’t be afraid to say so if you want to see that person again
D. You’d better change the subject if the voice sounds dull.
E. It’s polite to listen to others with a smile.
F. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.
G. These people have something in common.

We came to a foot of the hill and selected a place where looked suitable and settled down. We spent a few hours digging holes and placing the young seedlings(幼苗). Then we wrote our wishes on our cards one to one and buried them deeply down the roots of the trees. We also took a lot of pictures. We were such busy that we didn’t realize it was time to go back. I felt really glad that what we made a difference to nature. We’ve learned it is what we do matters most.
Now in our school there is a hot pursuit of fashion. Some students live a very expensive life. They have hair styles like those of famous stars, wear top brands of clothes and shoes, and some even use expensive bags and mobile phones.
Personally, I understand why they do so. Firstly, they hope to look smart and special. Secondly, they highly value others’ respect and recognition. In addition, it makes them feel cool.
From my point of view, we students should hold the right values. It is how we behave rather than how we appear that makes our cool. It is what achievements we have made rather than what brands we are wearing that makes us respectable. It is how much we care for others rather than how much we spend on gifts and luxuries that makes us charming. I think it will make great sense to save the money to help those who still can’t make ends meet.
