第二部分阅读理解 (共两节,满分60分)
第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分,满分 25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,并在题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
There is a very long list of rules for the New York City subway. Don’t put your feet on a seat, don’t carry open cups of coffee or soda, don’t take more than one seat... Those are just a few of the rules. There are hundreds more.
With so many rules, why is it still unpleasant to ride the subway?
Some people think that the problem is that no one enforces the rules. Other passengers sometimes try to enforce rules. But you can’t rely on them because New Yorkers have unwritten rules against talking to strangers and making eye contact with strangers. How can you tell someone to take her shopping bags off the seat and throw away her Coke without talking to her or looking at her? It is difficult.
There are other New Yorkers who think that the subway is unpleasant because there are not enough rules. One rider wrote a letter to The New York Times a couple of weeks ago suggesting a few more subway rules. Here are some of the rules that she would like to see:
—Don’t lean on the poles. You prevent other people from holding on. They can fall down.
—Talk quietly. The trains are already too noisy.
—Give your seat to elderly passengers or to parents with small children.
If those unwritten rules of etiquette are written down, will the rude people be more likely to follow them? It doesn’t make sense to make more rules that no one will enforce.
The real problem is that we are forgetting how to be nice to each other. It is embarrassing that we need a rule to tell us to give our seat to elderly passengers. Nobody should need to be reminded to do that.
I say we stop talking about the rules and try to remember our manners. Let’s be nice to each other not because a police officer might tell us to get off the train, but because it is the right thing to do. Then New York City would be more civilized —both above ground and below.
21. Don’t make eye contact and don’t talk to strangers are examples of .
A. New York subway rules B. personal preferences on the subway
C. behavioral habits in New York City D. unpleasant experiences on the subway
22. The underlined word “etiquette” is closest in meaning to .
A. manners B. phenomena C. festivals D. moods
23. In the writer’s opinion, what measures should be taken?
A. The authority should set stricter rules.
B. The government should employ more police.
C. The citizens should ride the subway less.
D. Everyone should take better care of their behavior.
B
Researchers continue to show the power behind our sense of smell. Recent studies have found, among other things, that the smell of foods like pizza can cause uncontrollable anger in drivers on roads.
The study explains that smell is unique in its effects on the brain. According to Conrad King, the researcher who carried out the study, “more than any other senses, the sense of smell goes through the logical part of the brain and acts on the systems concerned with feelings. This is why the smell of baking bread can destroy the best intentions of a dieter.”
Smell, which determines the unbelievable complexity of food tastes, has always been the least understood of our senses. Our noses are able to detect up to 10,000 distinct smells. Our ability to smell and taste this extremely large range of smells is controlled by something like 1,000 genes (基因), which make up an amazing 3% of the human genome.
According to Conrad King’s study, smelling fresh pizza or even the packaging of fast foods can be enough to make drivers feel impatient with other road users. They are then more likely to speed and experience uncontrollable anger on roads. The most reasonable explanation is that these can all make drivers feel hungry, and therefore desperate to satisfy their appetites. In contrast, the smells of peppermint (薄荷)and cinnamon(桂皮香料) were shown to improve concentration levels as well as reduce drivers’ impatience. Similarly, the smells of lemon and coffee appeared to promote clear thinking and mental focus.
However, the way genes control smell differs from person to person. A study by researchers
in Israel has identified at least 50 olfactory(嗅觉) genes which are switched on in some people and not in others. They believe this may explain why some of us love some smells and tastes while others hate them. The Israel researchers say their study shows that nearly every human being shows a different pattern of active and inactive smell-detecting receptors.
24. What does the author think of human sense of smell?
A. It is complex. B. It is uncontrollable.
C. It is changeable. D. It is powerful.
25. Why did Conrad King conduct the research about smell?
A. To find out how smell influences people.
B. To teach people how to choose proper food.
C. To study why some food like pizza harm people.
D. To explain why different people love different foods.
26. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A. Only a few genes decide our sense of smell.
B. Different genes have different effect on people.
C. Different people are sensitive to different smells.
D. Every person owns at least 50 different olfactory genes.
27. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Logic and behavior. B. Smell and its influence.
C. Sense ability and food tastes. D. Olfactory genes and our olfactory system.
C
It is quite apparent that competition surrounds every aspect of human life whether in the United States or the Amazon rainforest. Without it we would not have grown into primates (灵长类动物) . Or we would probably still be struggling to sharpen a bronze tool while crawling around on four legs in search of meat. Without competition, Columbus wouldn’t have discovered America and Edison would never have invented the light bulb.
Friendship, like all relationships between two people, involves competition. It isn’t competition in a traditional sense because there are no goals to be scored and no prize. Perhaps the ecological definition --- the simultaneous (同时) demand by two or more organisms for limited environmental resources, such as nutrients, living space, or light --- better explains it.
As in nature, high school life is governed by a set of laws, similar to a shortened version of Darwin’s theory of evolution, overpopulation, and competition. There is an abundance of high school students and to distinguish them, ranking and categorizing (分类) take place. In high school, friendships learn to coexist with competition even though at times the relationship is rough. In fact, in some circumstance, competition is too much of a burden for a friendship to bear, causing it to fall apart. College admission is the final high school objective. Four years of hard work is to achieve good grades, and a student’s fate is determined not only by these achievements, but by the records of thousands of other seniors trying to achieve a similar recognition.
Nevertheless, by necessity, competition between students exists in all aspects of high school life. It sets and improves the standards in everything from sports to schoolwork. A healthy, friendly competition can have only benefits, but when it becomes too fierce, jealousy (妒忌) can tear friendships apart. Yet, despite all this, without competition, we would be lost.
28. What does the ecological definition mainly explain?
A. How to win the competition. B. What competition exactly is.
C. What the result of competition is. D. How friends compete with each other.
29. According to the writer, what causes the high school students to compete?
A. They know the laws of nature well. B. Friendship is a burden for them.
C. The number of them is too large. D. They are divided into different groups.
30. Which best describes the relationship of friendship and competition?
A. Friendship is always based on competition.
B. Competition is a result of lost friendship.
C. Competition is terribly harmful to friendships.
D. The degree of competition is vital to friendship.

Experienced-Based Education
Everyone is familiar with traditional education. You sit in a class and a teacher teaches.This is an important part of development. But at some point, every individual has to take charge of their own education. To do this, one must look at the root of learning.__31____
Basically, unfamiliar experiences usually add more value than experiences that are familiar.
___32_____.And we are in a better state to learn something new. Honestly,someone who never experiences the same thing twice will never have a chance to benefit from anything learned. However, new experiences are generally what make people interesting and push them to grow.
High school is a new experience. College is a new experience. However, at some point traditional education becomes repetitive. It is not that you won' t learn anything else, but that the environment is so familiar.___33_____.
To solve this, an individual needs to introduce new experiences into their life. You may spend a summer in a different part of the country or learn a new language through trial and error. You can also go to a drive-in movie (or some other entertainment event that is new to you ). ___34_____.
These types of experiences often result in very little “book knowledge". Instead, they will often provide you with a better understanding of yourself as you experience your reaction to different situations.__35___. It can be invaluable for you to work effectively with others. Becoming a well -rounded human isn't something that happens by accident. You can spend your entire lifetime developing your potential.
A. Has education changed so much in the last decade?
B. They will also provide you with a better understanding of others.
C. Those new experiences may not lead to great personal development.
D. These are all things that can stretch and expand your experience in life.
E. This is because unfamiliar experiences require much more of our attention.
F. As a result, you can easily become less aware of your experience and not learn as much.
G, What makes some experiences add great value to our lives while other experiences do not?

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Steve was the most amazing person in all of Minneapolis, and he was my cousin. By the age of 19, Steve was a star baseball player at the University of Minnesota. I wanted to be exactly like him. So when Steve asked me to go with him on a spring fishing trip in northern Minnesota, I was excited!
After planning the trip, we gathered clothes and supplies, and began our great adventure. We reached the Superior National Forest in northern Minnesota by early evening. On our way to the campsite, Steve pointed to a small house faraway in one of the mountains, saying that it was the ranger station (护林站) where the forester worked.
Finally, after a long walk, we reached the campsite and set up the camp as the sun was setting. Steve knew all the tricks of an experienced wilderness camper. After we gathered enough wood from the forest, he started the campfire using only stone and steel — no matches. For supper we feasted on freeze-dried beef, wild rice and pea soup. I ate greedily after all that work.
Tired enough, we climbed into our sleeping bags early and talked about our plans for fishing the next day. We were still talking quietly when a sudden north wind picked up; the temperature dropped and it began to snow. Steve found a way to increase the temperature inside the tent. He dragged a log from the forest to the opposite side of the campfire. Then he wrapped aluminum foil (铝箔) around the log. The heat from the fire reflected off the foil and into the tent. Soon images of lake fish were filling my dreams.
The snow had stopped, but sometime later a powerful wind must have kicked up the flames of our dying fire. I was suddenly awakened by Steve. Our tent was on fire. Frightened, I ran out of the tent immediately. The tent collapsed (倒塌) with Steve inside. Without any thought of endangering myself, I reached into the burning tent and pulled him to the icy lake. Fortunately, we were not seriously hurt.

The Internet Has Changed My Life
The Internet is playing an important part in our lives. All kinds of information are available on the Internet and they are just a click away, so we can learn all we need on the Internet.
It seems to me that the Internet has completely changed my life. First of all, it has changed the way I contact people. With QQ, Microblog and Wechat, I can keep in touch with my family members and friends wherever I am. Secondly, it makes shopping easier, which enables me to do shopping at home. Thirdly, it makes my life more colorful. I can listen to music, watch movies and play games on the Internet. Besides,I can read various e-books on it .
In a word, the Internet has made a great difference to my life and I can hardly imagine life without the Internet.

Paragraph 1:
Later, as we stood by the burning tent to keep warm, we considered our difficult situation. Our campsite was in the deep of the forest, really far away from the highway. We were in the middle of nowhere, wearing only underwear, with our supplies burnt into ashes, including our cellphones. Even Steve was unsure what to do next. The only thing we could do was just sit in the cold air and wonder how to get out of the forest.
Paragraph 2:
Suddenly, we heard a noise in the forest. Anxiously we listened and stared into the darkness. A jeep appeared. A forester had spotted the light from the fire and had come to have a check. We jumped into the warm vehicle and the forester drove us to the ranger station, where we were given clothes and were able to call our parents. Steve and I had many more camping adventures from then on, but it was on this trip that Steve began to treat me more like a friend rather than a younger cousin. Our friendship continues to this day.
