第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，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A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Due to the increasing number of violence acts produced in schools all over the world, more and more parents prefer to have their children educated at home rather than at school．This way they can ensure their safety and well-being, although teachers and school representatives are trying to improve the situation in schools by increasing the number of the persons in charge of the safety of the students．
The main reason for violence acts are the films and cartoons that fill the children’s time．They want to do everything they watch on TV and never think of the consequences, and they may hurt a classmate or a teacher．
On the other hand, parents are not fully satisfied with the children’s results obtained in classes and they consider private classes would have better results. When a teacher has to watch 30 students in class he can’t probably see what each of them is doing, how he is writing, or if he understands the explanations． At home the teacher can explain in details everything the child doesn’t understand as many times as he considers proper. And many times the child grows fond of the teacher at home, who becomes his best friend, and who helps him whenever he needs someone to talk to．
However, the best solution would be a mixture between the education received at school and that at home, because school makes children communicate and socialize． Keeping a child at home for fear there might happen something bad to him only makes the child’s character weak and prevents him from knowing what real life is． Staying in a crystal ball only does harm to the child．
All in all, schools have been created to help children, not to harm them, so it’s best to keep children in these special places, where they learn, laugh, have fun and make new friends．
21． The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to ________．
A． teach parents the ways to keep their children safe
B． show solutions to developing children’s character
C． analyze an education problem and give opinions
D． explain the main reason for violence acts in schools
22． Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A． Advantages and Disadvantages of Private Classes
B． Who is to Blame, Parents or Schools?
C． Which Is Better, School Study or Home Study?
D． The Relationship between Teachers and Children
23． What does “a crystal ball” in the passage refer to?
A． A toy that can be used for entertainment．
B． A safe and comfortable environment．
C． A round object that is made of crystal．
D． An obstacle that is hard to overcome．
24． We can infer from the passage that ________．
A． violence TV programs have bad effects on children’s behavior
B． the teacher at home is more patient than the teacher at school
C． children today are weak from lack of sense of right and wrong
D． there are too many students in class for a teacher to teach
B
One of my fondest memories as a child is going by the river and sitting idly on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the water rush downstream and listen to the chirps of birds and the rustling of leaves in the trees. I would also watch the bamboo(竹子) trees bend under pressure from the wind and watch them return gracefully to their upright or original position after the wind had died down.
When I think about the bamboo tree’s ability to bounce back or return to its original position, the word resilience （恢复力）comes to mind. When used in reference to a person, this word means the ability to readily recover from shock, depression or any other situation that stretches the limits of a person’s emotions.
Have you ever felt like you are about to snap（突然折断）? Have you ever felt like you are at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have survived the experience to live to talk about it.
During the experience you probably felt a mix of emotions that threatened your health. You felt emotionally drained, mentally exhausted and you most likely endured（忍耐） unpleasant physical symptoms（症状）.
Life is a mixture of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point, bend, but don’t break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.
If the going gets tough and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo tree, bend, but don’t break!
25．When the writer talks about the bamboo trees, he wants to tell us .
A．he can’t forget those bamboo trees
B．he used to watch them bend under pressure and return to their upright position
C．he still remembers the good days as a child
D．he admires the character of the bamboo trees
26．Which of the following is TRUE?
A．When you have overcome some depression, you show resilience.
B．When you are about to snap, we say you are resilient.
C．If you feel like you are at your breaking point, you are fortunate.
D．If you feel mentally exhausted, you are likely to experience pleasant physical symptoms.
27．What does the writer mean by saying “Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you?”
A．You should make the best of the situation.
B．You should try your best to get the best situation.
C．You should try your best not to be defeated by the situation.
D．You should try your best not to give up the best situation.
28．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．My fondest memories B．Good times and bad times
C．Enjoy the peace and quiet D．Bend, but don’t break
C
Silence is unnatural to man．He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness．In between he does all he can to make a noise in the world, and he fears silence more than anything else．Even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence．If he is introduced to another person, and a number of pauses occur in the conversation, he regards himself as a failure, a worthless person, and is full of envy of the emptiest headed chatterbox（喋喋不休的人）.He knows that ninety-nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly, but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure（蜡塑人像）.
The aim of conversation is not, for the most part, to communicate ideas; it is to keep up the buzzing sound. There are, it must be admitted, different qualities of buzz; there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made by a mosquito （蚊子）.But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet person. Most buzzing, fortunately, is pleasant to the ear, and some of it is pleasant even to the mind. He would be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing -with his neighbors.
Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk. Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new. Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people's ears, though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel. At the end of an evening during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time, they just prove themselves to be successful conservationists.
29. According to the passage, people usually talk to their neighbors_____.
A. in the hope of learning something new
B. in the hope of getting on well
C. about whatever they have prepared
D. about whatever they want to
30. According to the author, people make conversation to______.
A. achieve success in life B. exchange ideas
C. overcome their fear of silence D. prove their value
31. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?
A. To persuade people to stop making noises．
B. To explain why people keep talking．
C. To discuss why people like talking about weather．
D. To encourage people to join in conversations．
32. By "the buzzing of a fly"(Para.1), the author means"_____".
A. the voice of a chatterbox B. meaningless talk sound
C. a low whispering D. the noise of an insect
D
The software, which turns printed text into speech, makes it possible for a company to use recordings of a person’s voice to say things that the person never actually said.
Possible customers for the software, which is priced at thousands of dollars, include telephone call centers, companies that make software that reads digital files aloud, and makers of automated voice devices. The advances raise several problems. Who, for example, owns the rights to a famous person’s voice? (Some experts even believe that new contracts will be drawn that include voice-licensing clauses.)
And although scientists say the technology is not yet good enough to commit fraud（假冒）, will the synthesized（合成的）voices at last be able to trick people into thinking that they are getting phone calls or digital audio recordings from people they know?
Even Mr Fruchterman, one of AT & T lab’s possible first customers, said he wondered what the new technology might bring. “Just like you can’t trust a photograph anymore,” he said, “you won’t be able to trust a voice either.”
33．With the help of the speech software, it is most possible ___________.
A．to help you to find a better job
B．to make a speech much more easily
C．to improve a famous person’s speech
D．to say what you want in another’s voice
34．If the speech software is widely used, ___________.
A．people would no longer believe each other
B．no radio or TV broadcasters would be needed
C．recording a voice alone would not be taken as a proof in the court
D．it would not be necessary to go for a speech by a famous person
35．The passage mainly wants to ___________.
A．introduce a new software
B．advertise a new kind of product
C．describe the future market of a new product
D．explain the disadvantage of a new invention
