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、D)中选出最佳选项。
A
Many years ago, Norman Cousins was diagnosed as "terminally ill." He was given six months to live. His chance for recovery was 1 in 10000.He could see that the worry, depression and anger in his life contributed to his disease. He wondered, "If illness can be caused by negativity(消极), can wellness be created by positivity?"
He decided to make an experiment of himself. Laughter was one of the most positive activities he knew. He rented all the funny movies he could find - Keaton, Chaplin, Fields, the Marx Brothers. He read funny stories. Laughing for 10 solid minutes, he found, relieved the pain for several hours so he could sleep. Surprisingly, he fully recovered from his illness and lived another 20 happy, and healthy years. He owed his recovery to the love of his family and friends, and laughter.
Laughter is essential to our health. If we’re not well, laughter helps us get well; if we are well, laughter helps us stay that way. Scientific studies have shown that laughter has a positive effect on the body, the mind and the emotions.
Use whatever makes you laugh - movies, records, books, cartoons, jokes, and so on. The people around you may think you are strange, but sooner or later they’ll join in even if they don’t know what you’re laughing about.

There once was a little boy who wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with bread and a six-pack of beer and started on his journey.
When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old woman. She was sitting in the park just staring at some pigeons. The boy sat down next to her and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the old lady looked hungry ,so he offered her a chunk(一大块)of bread. She gratefully accepted it and smiled at him. Her smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered her some beer. Once again she smiled at him. The boy was delighted!
They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word. As it began to grow dark, the boy realized how sad he was and he got up to leave. He turned around, ran back to the old woman and gave her a hug(紧抱). She gave him her biggest smile ever.
When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him, “What did you do today that made you so happy?” He replied, “I had lunch with God. You know what? She's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!”
Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant (容光焕发) with joy, returned to her home. Her son was astonished by the look of joy on her face and he asked,“Mother, what did you do today that made you so happy?”She replied,“I ate bread in the park with God. You know. He's much younger than I expected.”

There are a number of special days of the year that are celebrated in different countries. The origins of most of the days are unknown. They were certainly not created by individual people. Other days, however, especially those celebrated in western countries, often owe their origins to a particular person. One of the most popular of these, even though it is fairly recent, is Mother’s Day. Mothers have always been highly regarded in all cultures. The ancient Romans had a festival called Hilaria, during which children took presents to the temple of the “Mother of the Gods”. The Christian Church adopted this idea and called it Mothering Sunday. However, over the years this custom was gradually forgotten and almost disappeared by the end of the 19th century.
Born in 1864 in Virginia, USA, Anna Jarvis was a school teacher and believed children should show thanks to their mothers for all their love and care. Encouraged by a friend, she wrote to thousands of important people—politicians, churchmen, doctors, city officials—and asked them to support her idea: a special day of the year for thanking mothers.
In 1910 the Governor of West Virginia introduced Mother’s Day into the state. The date chosen was May 10—the second Sunday in May, which is still observed in America today. This date was chosen because May 10 was the date on which in 1908 Anna Jarvis’s mother had died. In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson made May 10 the official date for Mother’s Day throughout the United States.
Soon there was a Mother’s Day International Association and the custom began
12
to be adopted in many countries of the world.
Anna Jarvis, a sad and disillusioned woman, died in 1948. The custom she had worked so hard to establish and which had become almost universal had lost its original purpose. It had been taken over by business. As with Christmas, the giving of presents and the sending of cards had become a multi-million-dollar industry.
31. The story is about ________.
A. Mothering Sunday for Christmas
B. the origin of a special day for mothers
C. President Wilson and Anna Jarvis
D. how people celebrate Mother’s Day
32. Hilaria was a festival in ________.
A. ancient Rome B. America C. China D. the Christian Church
33. Anna Jarvis wanted to ________.
A. thank her mother for her care
B. introduce a celebration for mothers
C. meet thousands of important people
D. make her pupils celebrate her on Mother’s Day
34. May 10 became the date for Mother’s Day because _______.
A. May is in the American spring
B. it was the second Sunday in May in 1910
C. President Wilson liked the date
D. this was the date that Anna Jarvis’s mother died
35. Unfortunately, Anna Jarvis was not happy with Mother’s Day when she died because _______.
A. her mother was not there to see it
B. she had never been a mother herself though she wanted to
C. people were too interested in making it a business
D. no one gave any presents or cards to their mothers

One possible version:
A group dancing competition will be held in our school and the monitor calls on everybody to take an active part in it. While most of my classmates are still hesitating whether to participate, I have said yes to our monitor with great pleasure.
Generally speaking, there are two reasons for my decision. First, it is a good opportunity for me to relax myself, which will enable me to study more efficiently. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, which clearly shows us the importance of relaxation. Besides, I think I am a good dancer after learning dance for more than five years. Participating in the contest will be a golden chance for me to show my dancing skills and make some contributions to the class.
For the two reasons mentioned above, it is no surprise that I have such a strong enthusiasm on the group dancing competition.
