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)

A
Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day's events, feelings, and impressions in my little
blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn't accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?
When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well－equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my pen...
At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.
Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful. I'm no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.
I don't want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won't have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I'll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don't live to make memories—I just live, and the memories form themselves.
21. Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of ______.
A. observing her school routine B. expressing her satisfaction
C. impressing her classmates D. preserving her history
22. What caused a change in the author’s understanding of keeping a diary?
A. A dull night on the journey. B. The beauty of the great valley.
C. A striking quotation from a book. D. Her concerns for future generations.
23. What does the author put in her diary now?
A. Notes and beautiful pictures. B. Special thoughts and feelings.
C. Detailed accounts of daily activities. D. Descriptions of unforgettable events.
24. The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is ______.
A. to experience it B. to live the present in the future
C. to make memories D. to give accurate representations of it
B
One evening last summer, when I asked my 14-year-old son, Ray, for help with dinner, his response shocked me. "What’s a colander(漏勺)? " he asked.
I could only blame myself. In the family, nobody else’s hands went in the sauce except my own. But that night, as I explained with a touch of panic that a colander is the thing with holes in
it, I wondered what else I hadn’t prepared Ray for.
As parents, while we focus on our sons’ confidence and character, we perhaps don’t always consider that we are also raising someone’s future roommates, boyfriends, husbands, or fathers. I wanted to know that I’d raised a boy who would never ask the woman in his life, "What’s for dinner?" So I came up with a plan: I would offer Ray a private home economics course. I was delighted to find that he didn’t say no. For two hours, three days a week, Ray was all mine. One day, as his tomato sauce reduced on the stove, he washed and seasoned a chicken for roasting. Then he rolled out the piecrust (馅饼皮) and filled it with apples, all while listening to my explanation on the importance of preheating an oven.
I knew that he would rather have been shooting hoops in the driveway than learning to mend socks with his mother—he tried to beg off sewing lessons, even though I insisted that one day, someone would find the sight of him fixing his own shirt very attractive— but it couldn’t be denied that he was learning, and more than just housekeeping. "I appreciate what you do as a mom," he told me one day. Ray now understands the finer points of cooking, and more importantly, he realizes there’s nothing masculine (男子气概的) about being helpless.
Now, not only can he make his own dinner, but also he can make a big meal for his family. That’s what I call a man. I’m glad that I prepared so great a present for my future daughter-in-law.
25. Why was the author shocked at her son’s response?
A. Because he was not well behaved.
B. Because he refused to help with dinner.
C. Because he didn’t know the common kitchen tools.
D. Because he was very curious about kitchen tools.
26. In the author’s opinion, some parents pay little attention to _______.
A. building up children’s confidence
B. telling kids what is right and wrong
C. preparing children for their future life
D. making children live a hard life
27. After learning to do housework, Ray _______.
A. fell in love with sewing B. did other work in the house
C. began to be more hardworking D. acknowledged his mother's efforts
28. We can infer from the text that Ray_______.
A. made great progress in cooking B. always thought housework interesting
C. preferred sewing to cooking. D. was unwilling to learn cooking at first
C
How soon will it be before robots become so intelligent that they will be able to do things, such as teaching languages or looking after patients in hospital？Some experts believe this will happen within twenty years while others disagree.
One London company，UAS (University Automated Systems) has already developed some machines that can be used as "home helps" for old people unable to look after themselves and who are living on their own or in special homes. These machines can now do such things as cooking eggs and cleaning the floor, and the company says that future models will also accept simple voice
instructions and be controlled by a “brain” that is the equivalent(替代品) of the latest IBM microcomputer. The director of UAS, Mr. Henry Jeffries, believes that in the next five to ten years companies will have developed even more sophisticated(复杂的) robots for use in industry. By that time, it is likely that they will also have begun to sell new forms of these machines into ordinary homes. Robots could do a wide range of household tasks, such as preparing meals, washing dishes, cleaning houses and so on. By then, the price of such machines may have come down to as little as $1,000.
But Dr. Sandra Lomax, who has done some research into artificial intelligence at Sussex University and MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)，believes we have a long way to go before we can develop truly intelligent machines.
Preparing an omelet (煎蛋) may seem easy enough. But suppose one of the eggs has gone bad even the most "intelligent" robot would probably still use it. If something slightly unusual needs doing—something that requires a little of ordinary human imagination，a robot is useless. They need programming for even the simplest of tasks and are not able to learn from experience. "Teaching a robot how to recognize a bad egg is far more difficult than teaching it to prepare the omelet," she says.
29. A London company called UAS has already developed a machine which ________.
A. can teach languages and care for patients in hospital
B. can help old people do certain jobs in the house
C. is controlled by microcomputer “brain”
D. can accept simple voice instructions
30. The director of UAS believes that in the next five to ten years new forms of machines will ________.
A. do anything with imagination B. cost much less than $1,000
C. be used in every home D. be used in industry
31. Dr. Sandra Lomax thinks that ________.
A. no robot will ever be able to prepare an omelet
B. a robot will soon be able to do all the unusual housework people can't do
C. we can program a robot to learn from experience
D. making an omelet is easier for a robot than recognizing a bad egg
32. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A. Servants of the Future
B. How to Make Robots
C. Difficult to Develop Intelligent Robots
D. The Household Tasks in Future
D
A new study has found evidence of aggressive behavior in children who drink four or more
servings of soft drinks every day. Information for the study came from the mothers of 3,000 5yearolds. Researchers asked the women to keep a record of how many servings of soft drinks their children drank over a twomonth period. They were also asked to complete a checklist of their children's behavior.
The researchers have found that 43 percent of the children drink at least one daily serving of soda，and 4 percent of the youngsters have even four or more sodas to drink every day.
Shakira Suglia, a famous expert, says they've found that children who drink the most soda are more than twice as likely as those who drink no soda to show signs of aggression.
“For the children who consume four or more soft drinks per day, we see more withdrawn behaviors, which make them hard to get along well with others.”
The aggressive behaviors include destroying possessions belonging to others, taking part in fights and physically attacking people.
The researchers have determined the link after considering factors like the child's age and sex. They have also considered other possible influence, such as whether the boys and girls are eating sweets or giving fruit drinks on a normal day. In addition, the researchers have examined parenting styles and other social conditions that may be taking place in the home.
Researches are trying to find why young children who drink a lot of soda have behavior problems. An ingredient often found in soft drinks is caffeine, which helps to make people feel energetic. Doctor Suglia suggests that caffeine could cause the 5yearolds to be more aggressive. Earlier studies of adults have found the highest sugar levels in those who carry weapons and show signs of negative social behavior.
33. What section of a newspaper is the passage probably taken from?
A. Scientific Technology. B. Science Fictions.
C. Soical News. D. Health Report.
34. The underlined word “withdrawn” in Paragraph 4 can probably be replaced by the word
________.
A. backward B. unsocial C. generous D. friendly
35. Researchers studied the following aspects of the children except ________.
A. age B. sex C. games D. parents

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear. Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy our ambitions. Fear can destroy fortunes. Fear can destroy relationships. Fear, if left unchecked, can destroy our lives. Fear is one of the many enemies living inside us.
36
The first enemy we face is indecision(优柔寡断). Indecision is the thief of opportunity. 37 Take a sword to this enemy.
The second enemy inside is doubt. 38 But you also can't let doubt take over. Many people doubt the past, doubt the future, doubt each other, doubt the government, doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities. Worst of all, they doubt themselves. I'm telling you,
doubt will destroy your life and your chances of success. It will empty both your bank account and your heart. 39 .
Do battle with the enemy. Do battle with your fears. 40 Be courageous in your life and in your pursuit of the things you want and the person you want to become.
A. Sure, there's room for healthy doubt. You can't believe everything.
B. Build your courage to fight what's holding you back, what's keeping you from your
goals and dreams.
C. Let me tell you about two of the other enemies we face from within.
D. Below are the ways which might be useful for us to overcome our fears.

书面表达
Dear_Mr._Wang，
Knowing that our library is going to buy books, I'd like to give some suggestions.
What we need most are popular science books. Usually popular science books explain basic principles of nature in a simple and interesting way. They help us understand science subjects better and arouse our curiosity about scientific discoveries.
In addition to reading for knowledge, we read for fun and inspiration. That is why I recommend another category of books: literary books. Classic works, written by masters, present great thoughts through fascinating stories and language. They not only offer us joy and excitement, but also encourage us to think critically.
I'll be glad if you can consider my recommendation.
Yours_sincerely，
Li_Hua

I went into the bank, and reported what I saw just minutes ago. (19)That afternoon I went to the movies. I saw the thief again at the foot of the stairs! I called the police from a telephone next to the restrooms. The police arrived in less than five minutes. (20)They arrested the thief just as he was buying a chocolate bar from the candy machine! What an exciting day! And best of all, the bank gave me a $100 reward.
