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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Though most of these destinations are actually on the Earth, they are so wild and weird(怪异的)that they seem out of this world. Check them out before you plan your next vacation!
Mirror on the Lake
Destination: Salar de-Uyuni, Bolivia
The Salar de-Uyuni is the world’s largest salt flat—a 10,000-square-kilometer piece of land that, when covered in a few inches of water, becomes the world’s largest mirror. There is so much salt in this area that people have built tables, chairs and even a hotel completely out of salt!
One and Only
Destination:Socotra Island, Yemen
We’ve all imagined what it would be like to wake up on another planet, in a totally new environment. The Socotra Island on the India Ocean is like this! A third of its plant life can’t be found anywhere else in the world and they look like drawings from a Dr. Seuss book…cool!
Danger zone
Destination: Devil’s Pool, Victoria Falls
This is probably one of the scariest out-of-this-world destinations. Victoria Falls in Zambia is home to the world’s most dangerous pool—a pool of water that you can swim in, but be careful because it becomes a waterfall! If you get too close to the edge, you’re in for a 100-meter drop. Think about falling into the deep end!
Moany-Moany
Destiantion: Moaning Cavern（悲鸣洞）, California
This might not be out of this world…rather it’s under it! One of California’s largest caves drops 83 meters below the earth’s surface. The first cool fact about the moaning cavern is that no matter what the temperature is outside, the cave’s inside remains 16 degrees Celsius. And because it’s always warm, the cave walls drip with moisture(因水气而滴水). It’s that dripping which creates a strange moaning sound that the cave is named for.
21.A person’s studying plants will probably visit .
A. the Salar de Uyuni B. the Socotra Island C. Devil’s Pool D. the Moaning Cavern
22.Which of the following is TRUE about the Moaning Cavern?
A. It is always wet and full of moisture.
B. It is California’s largest underground cave.
C. The dripping sounds like a woman’s moaning.
D. The temperature inside it changes with the seasons.
23.What is the passage mainly about?
A. Wild and unusual destinations. B. History of Mirror on the Lake.
C. Ways of planning a vacation. D. Safety of taking a vacation.
B
My heart was slowly breaking, as it had been for years.“Caitilin,” my mother sighed on the phone. And then she added, “You’re always going to miss the bus.” Tears were burning the corners of my eyes, but I tried hard not to produce something unfortunate into the receiver.
11
As my mother continued talking about why she couldn’t support my decision to go to graduate school to study education. I realized that she was more than 750 miles away but still had a strong hold on me. I realized that at some point I needed to do what felt right on me.
“You know what, Mom?I’ve got to go. I have work to do.” Then with great self-control, I hung up the phone.
It wouldn’t be the last time that my mother had told me I was making a mistake, but it was the first time that I succeeded in saying, “Enough!” I do believe my mother always felt she had my best interest at heart—whether we were discussing my need to lose weight, my choice of college , or the company I was keeping. Gradually, though, I learned that she was letting what she wanted overpower what I needed.
So that afternoon back in 1994, I returned my acceptance to the Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia where I had got my bachelor of arts.
As an undergraduate, I had worked hard but found my studies boring mainly because I had not studied what I wanted to —education. My mother made me promise I would not take a degree in education. When I returned to study educational design, I quickly found love: My schoolwork fascinated me, my professor challenged me and my friends in my program inspired me.
Now I have a happy family life. I have created many products that bring me pride. By standing up for myself and working hard, I took control of my life and found happiness. I not only caught the bus, but also loved the ride.
24. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph1 mean?
A. Caitlin is often late for work. B. Caitlin often misses good opportunities.
C. Caitlin always gets up late in the morning. D. Caitlin is always making wrong decisions.
25. According to the text, in the past years Caitlin’s mother .
A. didn’t get along well with her B.always made decisions for her
C. was disappointed with her D. was very hard on her
26. Which of the following is TRUE of Caitlin?
A. She was tired of her former work. B. She has a great interest in education
C. She lost control and hung up the phone. D. She didn’t study hard as an undergraduate.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. This is my stop B. My happy college life
C. Education —my life career D. I always miss the bus
C
Ever since its creation over 40 years ago, the Internet has remained an almost unrestricted(无限制的) place. It is a place where anyone can present themselves in any form they choose. Because of anonymity(匿名) on the web it is possible for people—some of whom might normally be restricted from communicating with the outside world—to speak out without fearing the result of their actions. Those actions could put them in danger if carried out using their real names. Being anonymous on the web also makes it possible for people to discuss sensitive subjects, such as medical conditions and physical abuse, without these actions affecting their everyday lives in a harmful way.
There are many positive ways to use anonymity on the web, but there can sometimes be very bad side effects too, such as bullying(欺侮), racism, imitating someone in order to cheat others.When this kind of damaging activity is carried out online, how can the offender(冒犯者)ever be held responsible for their actions when they are anonymous on the web? How can we find them?
Thankfully, things are starting to change. The rise of social networks like Facebooks, Google+ and Linkedin, which rely on people’s true identity, makes it increasingly difficult to live an anonymous life on the Internet. We are already beginning to see positive side effects due to these new levels of transparency(透明). Bullying, offensive comments and other forms of abuse are becoming less widespread now that people are no longer able to hide behind a mask.
However, the Internet is a place where everything can be found easily. A mistake made during
11
a person’s teenage years could permanently tarnish their online records for the rest of their lives, no matter how much time has passed. We’ve all heard stories of employers examining job applicants via Google and Facebook. Would it be unfair of them to judge you by your past mistakes, shown by a social network that remembers everything you’ve ever done? I think so.
Now that our actions on the web are more public, we need to make sure we manage our personal information well.
28. Paragraph1 is mainly about .
A. how to use the Internet
B. the history of the Internet
C. why people like being anonymous on the web
D. the positive effects of anonymity on the Internet
29. One of the bad side effects of anonymity on the web is that .
A. it will lead to irresponsibility in real life
B. offenders will get away with their actions
C. it will result in bad relationships among people
D. surfing the Internet will become a painful experience
30. The underlined word “tarnish”in Paragraph4 probably means
A. keep B. open C.remove D. damage
31. Which section of a newspaper is the text most probably taken from?
A. Business B. Opinion C. People D. Education
D
In the college-admission(大学入学考试)wars, we parents are the true fighters. We are pushing our kids to get good grades, take SAT preparatory courses and build resumes(简历)so they can get into the college of our first choice. In our eyes, a degree from Stanford or Princeton is the ticket for life. We see our kids’ college background as something showing how well or how poorly we’ve raised them. But we don’t realize we are selfish. We think more about ourselves than the kids.
It’s true getting into college has generally become tougher because the number of high school graduates has grown. We suffer great anxiety; we worry there won’t be enough honors to show off. Fearful parents urge their children to apply to more schools than ever. We hold the belief that graduates of best universities must enjoy more success because they get a better education. All that is seemingly acceptable—and mostly wrong.
“We haven’t found any convincing evidence that a prestigious(有名望的)college matters,”says Ernest T. Pascarella of the University of Iowa, co-author of “How College Affects Students”, an 827-page report of hundreds of studies of the college experience.
According to some studies, graduates of prestigious schools do earn much money. But even this seems like just a coincidence.
Kids count more than their colleges. Getting into Yale may mean intelligence,talent and ambition. But there are many other things that are equally important. The reason:so many similar people go elsewhere. Getting into college isn’t life’s only competition. In the next competition, the results may change. Princeton economists Alan Krueger studied admissions to one top Ph.D.program. High scores on the GRE helped explain who got in;degrees of prestigious universities didn’t .
So, parents, lighten up. America is a competitive society; our kids need to adjust to that but too much pushiness can be destructive. The very ambition we place on our children may get some into Harvard but may also set them up for disappointment. They may have been so accustomed to being on top that anything less disappoints them.
32. Why are parents the true fighters in the college-admission wars?
A. They have to do many things for their children.
B. They care more about the results than their children.
11
C. They decide which university their children are to attend.
D. They know better about the universities than their children.
33. The author may agree with the idea that .
A. kids suffer greater anxiety than their parents.
B. entering a good university means a high income.
C. getting into college is becoming more and more difficult.
D. kids should apply to more schools to enter a prestigious university.
34. Krueger’s study shows degrees of prestigious universities .
A. are not welcomed by Ph.D.programs B.show little about one’s intelligence
C. mean low GRE scores D. guarantee no success
35. Pushing children into prestigious universities may make them .
A. lose their interest in study easily B. earn less than they have expected
C. experience more dissatisfaction. D. become less competitive in the job market

Tips on Working the Night Shift
Working night shift means being awake when other people are fast asleep and trying to sleep when most of the world is active. 36 .Here are several tips that can help you get used to a night shift schedule.
Create an Artificial Night. If there is light coming into your bedroom, you will not be interested in sleeping. Light cues your body to wake up. 37 . Use earplugs to stop noise from interfering with your sleep.
38 . Walking in the door after a night shift and falling into bed can give you poor quality sleep. Give yourself half an hour to relax before you go to bed. Do something that will relax you, like taking a warm shower or reading a book.
Exercise On Your Break. Getting through a full night shift, especially if you have been on day shift previously, can be difficult. 39 . A small amount of adrenaline can help you get your energy back, which will get you through the rest of your shift.
Eat Well. 40 . This means that you should pack a nutritious lunch for yourself as there may not be other options to eat well. Many workplaces have vending machines that are full of candy and chips, and though they can work as a quick energy boost, they also lead to quick drops as well. Healthy snacks like granola bars can keep your energy high and consistent.
A. Do not go straight to bed.
B. Do it right after you get off work.
C. Some people enjoy working late at night.
D. Use thick curtains to cover up your windows completely.
E. People may find that the transition can take some time and effort.
F. During your break, walk around the building or do sit-ups or jog in place.
G. Remember that restaurant and grocery stores may not be open when you want to eat.

Whether any of my neighbors 60 or not, I trust that an open door and a friendly smile can help build a community. So, wish me good luck and talk to your neighbors!

Dear Maggie,
I’m writing to tell you the arrangements for our trip to Hainan Island during the summer holiday.
Hainan Island, the world-famous tourist site, is located in the south of China. We will spend our holiday there from August 8 to August 17. We chose Hainan Island for our trip because of its beautiful blue sea and wonderful beaches with its golden sand. We have planned many activities including hiking on the island, surfing in the water, and spending the nights in tents. Please don’t forget to bring your swimming suit and your passports with you. I’m so excited because I’m sure we will have a wonderful holiday on the island.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Jack

Training someone to do a job can be harder than doing the work yourself. It’s hard partially because people vary in their approaches to a task. But mostly it’s because people’s working paces and styles are very different.
When I begin to instruct someone, I first give the big picture of the project and where our group fits into it. Next, I set up daily, weekly and monthly agendas and goals. These help new people understand what we need to accomplish by the end of each training section. But people can be so impatient with all this step-by-step training. They get the task and immediately begin to think of the ways to make the process better. I tell them that before they do that, they probably should understand why things are done the way they are.
I’ve learned two important lessons through my experiences in training people. One is that everyone is different; I can’t force others to learn things my way. The second is to leave room for the trainees to grow. Who knows—they might come up with newer and better ideas. Isn’t that
