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和D)中，选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该选项的标号涂黑。
A
I entered high school having read hundreds of books. But I was not a good reader. Merely bookish, I lacked a point of view when I read. Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, ideas, themes—anything to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. When one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth-grade English class that a person could not have a "complicated idea" until he had read at least two thousand books, I heard the words without recognizing either its irony (嘲讽) or its very complicated truth. I merely determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read. Strict with myself, I included only once a title I might have read several times. (How, after all, could one read a book more than once?) And I included only those books over a hundred pages in length. (Could anything shorter be a book?)
There was yet another high school list I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the "hundred most important books of Western Civilization." "More than anything else in my life," the professor told the reporter with finality," these books have made me all that I am." That was the kind of words I couldn’t ignore. I kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course, I hardly understood. While reading Plato's The Republic, for example, I needed to keep looking at the introduction of the book to remind myself what the text was about. However, with the special patience and superstition (迷信) of a schoolboy, I looked at every word of the text. And by me time I reached the last word, pleased, I persuaded myself that I had read The Republic, and seriously crossed Plato off my list.
21．On hearing the teacher's suggestion of reading, the writer thought________.
A．one must read as many books as possible
B．a student should not have a complicated idea
C．it was impossible for one to read two thousand books
D．students ought to make a list of the books they had read
22．The underlined phrase "with finality" probably means_________.
A．firmly B．clearly C．proudly D．pleasantly
23．The writer's purpose in mentioning The Republic is to________.
A．explain why it was included in the list
B．describe why he seriously crossed it off the list
C．show that he read the books blindly though they were hard to understand
12
D．prove that he understood most of it because he had looked at every word
24．The writer provides two book lists to ________.
A．show how he developed his point of view
B．tell his reading experience at high school
C．introduce the two persons' reading methods
D．explain that he read many books at high school
B

C
The literal meaning of philosophy is “love of wisdom”. But this meaning does not tell us very much. Unlike the other disciplines(学科)，philosophy cannot be defined by what you study, because it is actually unlimited. Anything can be the subject matter of philosophy: art, history, law, language, literature, mathematics, medicine, psychology, religion, science, and values. Philosophy is one of the world’s oldest subjects of study, and in fact, the other academic disciplines are directly related to philosophy. For this reason you get a Doctorate(博士学位) of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in biochemistry, or computer science, or psychology.
Two broad sub-fields of philosophy are logic and the history of philosophy. Logic is the science of argument and critical thinking. It provides sound methods for
12
distinguishing good from bad reasoning. The history of philosophy involves the study of major philosophers and periods in the development of philosophy.
Of what use is philosophy? First it is useful in educational advancement. It is necessary for understanding other disciplines. Only philosophy questions the nature of the concepts used in a discipline, and its relation to other disciplines. And through the study of philosophy, one develops sound methods of research and analysis that can be applied to any field.
There are a number of general uses of philosophy. It strengthens one’s ability to solve problems, to communicate, to organize ideas and issues, to persuade, and to take what is the most important from a large quantity of data. These general uses are of great benefit in the career field, not necessarily for obtaining one’s first job after graduation, but for preparing for positions of responsibility, management and leadership later on. It is very short-sighted after all, to take a course of studies only for the purpose of getting one’s first job. The useful skills developed through the study of philosophy have significant long-term benefits in career advancement. No other discipline systematically follows the ideals of wisdom, leadership, and capacity to resolve human conflict.
28．According to Paragraph 1, philosophy can best be described as the study of ______.
A．social sciences B．natural sciences
C．both social and natural sciences D．the subject matter of politics
29．With the study of philosophy, you can_______.
A．become a great leader B．succeed in everything
C．find a good job soon after graduation D．make progress in your career development
30．According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Philosophy is an independent discipline.
B．Logic helps you to become a better thinker.
C．The study of philosophy brings you immediate benefits.
D．The meaning of philosophy is too limited to define.
31．From the passage, we can conclude ______.
A．not all the subjects have to do with philosophy
B．a person will get a Ph.D. if he/she studies philosophy
C．philosophy can be helpful for the study of any other subjects
D．philosophy is the only solution to all the problems to the world
D
It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, the moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order
12
of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, don’t worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.
Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn’t really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King’s famous speech—“I Have a dream”, you may notice that he stumbles(结巴) over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don’t remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making.
People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speechmaking as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performance. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker’s attractiveness by making him more human.
As you work on your speech, don’t worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.
32．The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will ______.
A．be smarter than you B．notice your mistakes
C．do better than you D．know what you are talking about
33．You don’t remember obvious mistakes in a speech because________.
A．your attention is on the content B．you don’t fully understand the speech
C．you don’t know what the speaker plans to say
D．you find the way of speech-making more important
34．It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A．giving a speech is like giving a performance
B．one or two mistakes in a speech may not be bad
C．the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is made
D．the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be
35．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．How to Be a Perfect Speaker B．How to Make a Perfect Speech
C．Don’ t Expect a Perfect Speech D．Don’t Expect Mistakes in a Speech

Travel Manners
Every culture has its own unwritten list of behavior that is acceptable. Every society also has its taboos, or types of behavior that are considered a violation of good manners.
The word taboo comes from the Tongan language and is used in modern English to
12
describe verbal and nonverbal behavior that is forbidden or to be avoided. 36 They tend to be specific to a culture or country, and usually form around a group’s values and beliefs. What is considered acceptable behavior in one country may be a serious taboo in another.
Verbal taboos usually involve topics that people believe are too private to talk about publicly, or relate to one’s manner of speaking. In many cultures, for example, it is considered bad manners to discuss subjects such as sex or religion in public. In some countries, the volume of one’s voice may annoy people. 37
38 For example, one of the biggest differences among many Western, Asian, and African cultures is the use of eye contact. In the US, people make eye contact when they talk to others. 39 In many Asian and African cultures, however, children are taught to lower their eyes when talking to their elders, or those of higher rank, as a way to show respect.
Certain gestures made with the hands can have very different meanings depending on the country you are in. Crossing your middle finger over your forefinger is the sign for good luck in many western countries. 40 Also, in some Asian countries, moving your hands a lot while talking, or ‘talking with your hands’, is considered unsuitable.
Behavior that is acceptable and non-offensive in one culture can be highly offensive in another. When visiting a foreign country, be aware of some of the basic differences, as this will help to ensure a more enjoyable trip.
A．Nonverbal taboos usually relate to body language.
B．In Vietnam and Argentina, however, it is a rude gesture.
C．In spite of what some people may think, taboos are not universal.
D．Cancer is a taboo subject and people are frightened to talk openly about it.
E．Learn a country’s customs so that you don’t hurt the local people unconsciously.
F．They might think that someone who is speaking or laughing loudly is rude or aggressive.
G．If a person avoids eye contact, others might think they are being dishonest or unconfident.

A Disaster Makes a Strong Person

strange things to people. I don’t mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the 44 of them made me 45 more what I had.
Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more quickly a person is able to make these adjustments, the more 46 his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never 47 . I was totally confused and afraid. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me—the 48 to live—which I didn’t see, and they made me want to 49 against blindness.
The hardest 50 I had to learn was to believe in myself. I am not talking about simply the kind of 51 that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: the confidence that I am, despite being imperfect, a real, 52 person; that there is a special place where I can make myself fit.
It took me years to discover and 53 this confidence. It had to start with the simplest things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was making fun of me and I was hurt. “I can’t use this.” I said. “Take it with you,” he 54 me, “and roll it around.” The words 55 in my head. “Roll it around!” By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought 56 : playing baseball. At Philadelphia’s Overbrook School for the Blind I 57 a successful variation of baseball and I called it ground ball.
All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to be clear about my 58 . It was no good trying for something that I knew at the start was wildly out of reach 59 that only invited the bitterness of failure. I would 60 sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.

Freeflyers: Modem Skydivers
Have you experienced the thrilling sport—freeflying? Imagine falling towards the planet Earth at 61 awesome speed of 300 kilometers per hour. You start your fall from over four kilometers above the Earth. And you have less than one minute before you pull your parachute (降落伞）cord. You are falling 62 fast that just turning your head can send you off 63 a different direction. This is the wild side of a sport that has not found its limit—freeflying.
Freeflying 64 (base) on the more traditional skydiving, 65 of which are eye-catching. However, it is more terrifying to watch freeflyers create formations and movements. Freeflyers, 66 the name suggests, enjoy the more spontaneous(即兴的）thrill of doing their own things.
The wildest trip for a freeflyers is falling ‘head down’. Falling ‘head first’ requires a great deal of control, which means 67 (travel) not only fast but also steadily. Even the 68 (slight) movement has a great effect on your direction.
They wear the amusing jumpsuits, strange helmets and smaller parachutes. 69 (actual), their parachutes are about one quarter the size of the traditional skydiver’s parachutes. It is only in the last few years 70 freeflying has gained any real public acceptance.

Last weekend we go mountain climbing. Even the heavy rain in the morning could not prevent us going. Set off very early, we went along an extreme narrow road, all in high spirits. On every side of the road was green fields and some farm houses. We could hear the sound of the rain and our footsteps mixing with our laughter. At noon we reached the top of the mountain. That surprised us most there was the beauty of scenes. After having short rest there and sharing with the food we had brought, we started going down. It rained even harder. We were wet to the skin, and we still sang and laughed happily.
