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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Every day my husband parked his car in the same open-air car park in Zimbabwe. On this particular day, he had been running to his car with a pile of office papers under his arm. As he opened the car door, he suddenly lost control of his body. He felt a stabbing pain in his arm, and became totally breathless and lost consciousness. As he fell down, half in, half out of the car, his last thought was “what a way to die”.
A young woman getting into her own car in the deserted car park noticed what was going on and at once ran to my husband’s aid, trying to bring his life back. Realizing time was important, she tried to move my husband to her car, calling the guard at the gate.
Fearing an ambulance would take too long to arrive, she felt it better to get to the hospital as quickly as she could. She raced through traffic lights sounding her car’s horn and rushed into the hospital, calling out, “I have an unknown man here who I think is having a heart attack.”
Having realized he was in capable hands, the woman returned to the car park, found his keys on the ground, collected his papers and piled them in the car. Having seen my husband come out of a certain building each day, the security guard thought he knew where he worked. The young woman managed to locate his colleagues and they in turn contacted my niece, who waited for me to return home so she could break the news to me.
After careful tests it turned out that my husband’s disease had nothing to do with heart. We were naturally eager to find the kind stranger who had come to his aid. After some weeks we discovered where the young woman worked. She was overjoyed when my husband walked into her office with a huge bouquet (束) of flowers. She said she required no thanks, and preferred to remain anonymous (匿名的).
We now live in a different country, but each Christmas my husband remembers her act of kindness and sends a gift. We regard every day of his life as a bonus, all thanks to this kind stranger.
21. From the passage, we can infer that _______.
A. a heart attack hit the writer’s husband suddenly

C. the young woman was at a loss at first

22. Who told the writer the news of her husband’s illness?
A. The young woman. B. The security guard.
C. The colleague of her husband. D. The writer’s niece.

A. The Gift of Life B. An Act of Gratitude
C. The Attack of a Disease D. The Story of a Young Woman

When you first arrive in Oxford, it may take a little while for you to find your way around. Some of the first things our students do when they arrive include finding a bike (most students in Oxford find cycling is the best way to go around), setting up a bank account, getting their computer and mobile phone working, finding their department, getting to know their college and working out the best places to socialize.
One of the major events you will experience shortly after “coming up” to Oxford is matriculation. Matriculation is held at the University’s Sheldonian Theatre and is the ceremony at which you are formally admitted to the university.
International students are invited to an orientation day at the start of the academic year. Sessions run throughout the day that will give you practical information about living and studying in the UK and introduce you to other graduate students from all over the world who are starting their studies at Oxford at the same time as you, as well as to current Oxford graduate students and staff who will be able to help and advise you. The day covers topics such as studying and learning in the Oxford system, University services, information on living in Britain and cultural differences, as well as addressing practical issues such as employment, immigration and visas, health and safety. You can choose which talks to attend and at the end of the day there is a social hour so you can meet fellow students.
Another good thing to experience early is college dining. Most colleges have a tradition of regular formal hall dinners, which consist of three or four courses, and the atmosphere of an evening out in a nice restaurant. On some of these occasions you can invite people around to your college for dinner and then they may return the favor. In this way, you can get to know people studying your own and other subjects at the same time as visiting many of the historical college grounds and dining halls.
28. For a newcomer to Oxford, what does he have to do first?
A. To work out what to major in. B. To open a qq account.
C. To get a bike to go around. D. To buy a new mobile phone.
29. What is matriculation?
A. A special day for International students to start academic year.
B. A ceremony when students are formally admitted to Oxford.
C. Performances held at the Sheldonian Theatre.
D. The best places to socialize.
30. Which talk can students attend on the orientation day?
A. Studying in the Cambridge system.
B. Talks on how to meet fellow students.
C. Practical issues like employment, immigration, and health.
D. University services about the life in Britain and cultural similarities.
31. What does the underlined part in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Treating you to dinner. B. Visiting historic college in return.
C. Studying the subjects with your friend. D. Showing you around the college.
D
New research has shown that you might not just be feeling blue; you may also be seeing it differently. Your mood may affect how you see the world around you, according to a new study. A team of researchers has proved that sadness could have an effect on the way we see colors.
The team, led by psychology researcher Christopher Thorstenson of the University of Rochester, found that people who had a sad mood were less accurate in identifying colors on the blue-yellow axis (轴), compared to people who weren’t feeling sad.
“We were already deeply familiar with how often people use color terms to describe common phenomena, like mood, even when these concepts seem unrelated,” Thorstenson said in a statement. “We thought maybe a reason why these metaphors (比喻) appear was that there really was a connection between mood and identifying colors in a different way.”
Thorstenson and his team are not the first to identify a link between a depressed mood and a difference in recognition. In 2010, Emanuel Bubl and his team at Albert Ludwigs University Freiburg in Germany first proved a link between mood and identifying colors. This was supported by a 2013 paper by Johnson Fam of the University of Singapore.
The team conducted two studies. In the first, 127 participants were chosen randomly to watch one of two video clips, which had been proved in previous studies to feel either sadness or amusement. They didn’t do that in a specific order. The entire group was then tasked with identifying the colors in 48 continued color changes. The group that had been shown the sad clip was measurably worse at identifying colors along the blue-yellow axis.
For the second study, 130 participants were randomly assigned to watch either a sad clip or a neutral (中性的) one. The sadness group showed reduced ability to identify colors along the blue-yellow axis than the neutral group.
32. If one _______, the colors he sees might be different from those in others’ eyes.
A. is in a good mood B. has an eye illness
C. attends a speech D. doesn’t feel happy
33. Who were the first to find out the link between mood and identifying colours?
A. Thorstenson and Johnson. B. Thorstenson and his team.
C. Johnson and his team. D. Emaneuel and his team.
34. The sadness group in the second study _______.
A. felt happy when watching the video
B. performed better than the other
C. were less able to identify some colours
D. could only identify blue and yellow
35. What does the underlined word in the fifth paragraph most probably mean?
A. In no specific place. B. With no specific rule.
C. With no specific confidence. D. At no specific time.

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 (违反) of good manners.
The word “taboo” comes from the Tongan language and is used in modern English to 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 (音量) 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 he is being dishonest or unconfident.

A group of graduates got together to visit their old university professor.
The conversation soon turned into complaints about 41 in work and life. To offer his
42 coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and 43 with a large pot of coffee and a 44 of cups—porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain-looking, some expensive, some beautiful—telling them to 45 themselves to the coffee.

Dear editor,
I am Li Ming of Senior Three, Guangming Middle School. I am writing to tell you about some symptoms of anxiety among us students before exams.
Most of us feel nervous whenever we’re taking an important exam. Some will feel dizzy or tired, and some will suffer from lack of sleep. In fact, all these symptoms have terrible effects on our exams and we have to get rid of them.
First of all, it’s important for us to make careful plans for every exam. In this way we can avoid suffering from the pressure of exams. We can also try a warm bath or a cup of warm milk before going to bed, which might help us have a sound sleep. Besides, enough rest can make us energetic and perform well in an exam.
Finally, I hope everybody can do a good job in each exam.
Yours,
Li Ming
(We’d better go out for a walk or do some outdoor exercises before and during an exam so that we can keep ourselves relaxed and then concentrate ourselves on exams.)
