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
Well, what a bonus! Lost of us are using technology to find rids, and not just to school. It’s embarrassing to call a friend and ask for a ride, and half the time they’ll say, “Sorry, my car is full.” But with Twitter and Facebook, you just tweet Ashley Pool Party and look for other people heading the same way.
It may sound risky, but many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and don’t branch out beyond friends of friends when asking on Twitter. For me, I only rideshare with people I know, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.
The sharing economy got big during the recession (经济衰退), It allows people to access(利用) more goods, and services using technology, while also allowing them to share costs. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom.
According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver’s license Today it’s six in ten. So it’s not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn’t rushing to get a license. All I wanted was an IPhone. Juliet Schor(Sociology professor at Boston College) knows people of my age love being connected and for young people driving means they have to disconnect from their technology, and that’s a negative. So if they could sit in the passage side and still be connected, that’s going to be a plus.
To me, another plus is that ridesharing represents something much bigger than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, we still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Mini Cooper, you can find me on Twitter.
21. The writer usually shares a car with_____.
A. anyone heading the same way B. friends of friends
C. strangers of his age D. people he knows
22. Driving has become less of a choice for young people because_____.
A. they have to try hard to get a license
B. driving one’s own cars creates a negative impression
C. driving makes it impossible for them to connect with technology
D. driving means offering free rides to others
23. The last sentence of the passage indicates that_____.
A. he will buy the silver Super Beetle on Twitter
B. he is usually on Twitter when he is at work
C. he doesn’t need a car as long as he can be on Twitter
D. he’ll rideshare before he gets his own car
24. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Teens use Twitter to share rides.
B. Cars are no longer a gateway to freedom
C. Tips on reducing risks in rideshare
D. New generation knows how to save money
B
As a little boy I reed a book with a picture showing a man reading while floating in the Dead Sea. What a miracle! How would it feel to lie back in water so thick with salt that it was impossible to sink?
Fed by the Jordan River and smaller streams, the Dead Sea is the lowest point on the earth’s surface, and its water is ten times saltier than the Mediterranean. As evaporation(蒸发)is its only outlet, salt and other minerals become super-concentrated.
Earlier this year, I drove down the long, steep hill to realize my dream. The shoreline was a broad area of bare salt-mud, but the water edge was out of sight. It seemed as if somebody had pulled the Dead Sea’s plug(插头)? Eli Dior, an Israeli official, explained the problem: “ The Dead Sea is drying up. Every year, the surface falls about one meter, and as the water level falls, shadow areas are left high and dry.”
Over the last half-century, the five neighboring countries have used up almost all the water flowing into the Dead Sea to meet human and agriculture needs. Result: the Dead Sea is being emptied.
With population in the neighboring countries to double at least in the next 50 years, there is little hope of restoring the water being used in this area. No country has a drop to spare for the Dead Sea, where they know it will just evaporate. To dream of opening the dams and restoring natural balance is unrealistic.
Yet one ambitious high-tech dream may turn out to be not only the salvation to the Dead Sea but also a ticket to peace around its shores. The “ Red-Dead” is a proposed $5 billion project to bring sea water some 240 kilometers by pipeline and canal from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea. The Red-Dead may be the only solution, but even if the project is carried out successfully, the Dead Sea will be 10 to 20 meters lower than now and two thirds of its current size.
Whatever the future holds, the Dead Sea’s magical mix of sun, mud, sea and salt will surely survive. Many might complain that the Dead Sea is half empty—but for me the Dead sea will always be half full.
25. According to the passage, the Dead Sea is drying up mainly because______.
A. nearly no water flows into the Dead Sea
B. the water is evaporated in the Dead Sea area
C. much water is drawn from the Dead Sea
D. there is low annual rainfall in the Dead Sea area
26. It can be inferred from the passage that_____
A. the countries around the Dead Sea will join hands to spare water for the Sea
B. as a result of the project “Red-Dead”, the Dead Sea will be two thirds larger
C. water crisis is a potential threat to the peace of the area around the Dead Sea
D. If the Dead Sea dried up, great natural disasters would happen in the region
27. What is the writer’s attitude towards the future of the Dead Sea?
A. reserved B. pessimistic C. doubtful D. optimistic
C
Tang Xiao was recently given a school assignment that asked him to write an essay about his ideal job. The 10-year-old Beijing pupil responded by writing that he wanted to be the head of a large business. “You want to be a boss, that’s OK. But you shouldn’t end your article like this. You should write ‘I want to do charity work with the money I earn’,” his teacher commented. Tang’s mother said she could see the point of the teacher’s advice but suggested a different approach.” He’s only 10. We’ve always instructed him to help those in need. But charity? I don’t think he really understands the word at the moment.”
This is the unwritten rule for Chinese students: You can write what you think, but make sure it reflects your “positive thinking”. The problems are really highlighted by the gaokao, China’s life-changing college entrance examination.
“The kind of articles have always been highly stereotyped, and more so in recent years,” said Qi Yongxiang, who has been an examiner for the writing exam. “There is not much diversity or originality. They write some beautiful sentences, but without making a point.” Nowadays, the common practice is to prepare stories about famous people, decorated with beautiful sentences,
and then find a way to use them into the essay, regardless of the actual topic.
Zhang Yikun, one of nine million students who sat this year’s gaokao, really know how it works. “The teacher at school gave us a list of 50 new public intellectuals(公众人物),” said Zhang. “The examiners must have been tired of the popular examples, so we had to give them something fresh.” Zhang’s mother, Song Wenli, a Chinese teacher at primary schools, said she always encourages students to express their true feelings, but students have to printout in what way you are educated and inspired. That’s always the rule in China, otherwise it’s hard for students to get a high score.
However, there have been changes over the years. The past 35 years have witnessed a rise in diversity of topics and a decrease in the political implications of the essays in the gaokao. “It’s still hard for students to express themselves freely under the current education system, especially when faced with the high pressure brought by the gaokao,” said Xiong Bingqi, vice-president of the 21st Century Education Research Institute. “The writing test was originally designed to display a student’s independent thinking and writing skills. But now, they just try their best to attract the examiner,” said Xiong.
28. We can learn from the passage that____.
A. Tang Xiao doesn’t want to do charity with the money he earns
B. Tang Xiao mother can’t understand the teacher’s advice
C. Zhang Yikun can’t have used the popular examples in his essay
D. Song Wenli’s students are not expected to express true feelings
29. How does the writer support the underlined statement in Paragraph 2?
A. By giving instructions. B. By analyzing cause and effect.
C. By following the logic order. D. By giving example.
30. The underlined word “stereotyped” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to____.
A. traditional B. original C. diverse D. positive
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The writing topics and the political implications have increased during the past 35 years.
B. When facing the high pressure, students can express themselves freely and easily.
C. Students have to appeal to the examiners in order that they can get a high score.
D. The current education system is intended to show students’ independent thinking abilities.
D
Everyone could have an urge to buy something unnecessary. Then how to avoid it? The best way is to just keep your hands away from attractive products. According to new research, individuals who touch possible items in stores are more likely to have an increased desire to buy them than those who keep their hands off the products.
Suzanne Shu and Joann Peck, marketing professors at the University of Wisconsin's business school conducted studies on the connection between touch and feelings of ownership and the effect of perceived（感觉）ownership on the value placed on an object. For one of the experiments, the experts placed two products, a Slinky toy and a coffee cup, in front of the volunteers who were undergraduate students．About half of the participants were allowed to touch the products, while the other half were asked not to touch them, The volunteers then were asked to express their sense of ownership of the products and to report, how much money they were willing to pay for each. The results showed that those students who were allowed to touch the objects reported significant increased levels of perceived ownership. They also expressed a desire to pay more money to obtain the products.
The investigators also discovered that a sense of very pleasant feelings when touching products, determined how much money consumers were willing to pay. However, if the object did riot feel pleasant to the touch, it significantly decreased the amount the buyers were willing to pay.
Researchers said that many stores have already followed the right path．But what can be done while shopping online, when touching of an item is not possible? In this case, the experts say, just picturing in mind that they are touching it and then owning it, will cause greater feelings of ownership, and thus the consumers will be more likely to make a purchase(购买).
When you touch an object, you immediately feel some kind of a connection to it, according to the researchers. That connection stirs up（唤起）an emotional reaction. And that emotion can make people buy something they would never even consider buying if they had not touched it.
32. How does the author develop the text?
A. By drawing a conclusion through research
B. By providing typical examples
C. By comparing opinions from different fields
D. By presenting cause and analyzing its effects
33. Which of the following was found in the research?
A. Shoppers cannot resist the temptation when they meet things they like
B. If you are not spend money, it’s less possible for you to touch the product
C. Touching a product affects the customer’s feelings of desire for it
D. The longer you touch the goods, the more desire you have to own them.
34. It can be inferred from the text that __________.
A. many stores have used the method of allowing customers to touch products
B. a Slinky toy and a coffee cup were used to attract the participants’ attention
C. people won’t buy the items if they don’t like them even if they’ve touched them
D. the people who touch the product will certainly buy it
35. What led the researchers to conduct this study?
A. To satisfy customers’ social needs when shopping
B. To illustrate the connection between touch and feelings of ownership
C. To share their good ideas about avoiding unnecessary purchase
D. To develop marketing strategies(策略) for trade companies
