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
Well, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to find rides, and not just to school. It’s awkward to call a friend and ask for a ride, and half the time they’ll say, “Sorry, my car is full.” But with Twitter, you just tweet Ashleys Pool Party and look for other people heading the same way.
It may sound risky, but many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and don’t branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter. For me, I only rideshare with people I know, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.
The sharing economy got big during the recession（经济衰退）. It allows people to access more goods and services using technology, while also allowing them to share cost. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom.
According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver’s license. Today it’s six in ten. So it’s not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn’t rushing to get a license. All I wanted was an iPhone. Juliet Schor (Sociology professor at Boston College) knows people of my age love being connected and for young people driving means they have to disconnect from their technology, and that’s a negative. So if they could sit in the passenger side and still be connected, that’s going to be a plus.
To me, another plus is ridesharing represents something more than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For
- 16 -
the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter.
21 The writer usually rideshares with _____.
A. anyone heading the same way B. people he knows C. friends of friends D. strangers of his age
22. Some young people choose to rideshares instead of driving because _____.
A. driving means offering free rides to others.
B. getting a driving license becomes more difficult.
C. driving one’s own cars causes a negative impression.
D. driving makes them disconnected from technology.
23. We can conclude from the passage that _____.
A. the writer rideshares in order to save money
B. people under 18 are not allowed to drive
C. people can’t live well without others’ help
D. the older generation had to fight for freedom
B
Nature is full of color, from rainbows and roses to butterfly wings and peacock tails. Even the fruits and vegetables you eat have different colors: blue blueberries, red strawberries, green broccoli, and orange carrots.
Plant and animals often use color to attract attention. The substances responsible for these colors belong to a class of chemical called antioxidants(抗氧化物). Plants make antioxidant to protect themselves from the sun’s ultraviolet(UV)(紫外线)light.
Ultraviolet light causes chemicals called free radicals(自由基)to form within plant cells. They can destroy parts of plant. Free radicals also have damaging effects on human beings. Some of these effects like wrinkled skin can be seen. The damage is caused by the free radicals attacking cells in our bodies. Certain cancers and heart disease are linked to free radicals.
Our bodies have natural defences for fighting off free radicals. While we are
- 16 -
young, our defences are pretty strong. However, they get weaker as we get older. The body’s built-in defences can only go so far without extra help.
The key to fighting free radicals with fruits and vegetables is to mix and match colors. It’s like sunscreen(防晒霜)for the inside of your body. Go for a range of very bright colors. Colorful foods contain hundreds of healthy chemicals not found anywhere else.
Research into how chemicals in blueberries affect the brain’s function in rats suggests that these chemicals may help our own brains work more efficiently.
Don’t just blame the sun. Ultraviolet light isn’t the only source of free radicals. If you breathe polluted air such as smog, automobile exhaust(废气), or wasted gas from a factory, you take in chemicals that also cause such damage. And, the body itself produces free radicals as it processes food.
24. Which of the following not true?
A. Antioxidants are responsible for plant colors
B. Plants use color to attract attention
C. Antioxidants can protect plants from UV light
D. Antioxidants help free radicals to attack plants
25. In which order do the following facts occur?
a. Wrinkled skin can be seen
b. UV light causes free radicals to form
c. Free radicals damage cells in our bodies
d. The sun gives out UV light
A. a, b, c, d B. d, b, c, a C. c, a, d, b D. d, b, a, c
26. We need extra help for fighting off free radicals from fruits and vegetables because ____.
A. our bodies’ defences are not natural
B. we are too young to defend ourselves
C. our defences get weaker as we get older
D. our bodies’ built-in defences can only go away
- 16 -
27. Which of the following can not cause free radicals to form?
A. Colorful food B. UV light from the sun C. Polluted air D. The body itself
C
The ancient Greek philosopher Plato said, “Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and joy to life and to everything.”
"We know that music brings joy and comfort, and makes us feel happy," Spencer says. "But research has also discovered music plays a powerful role in the mental development of children. Music inspires creativity, imagination and self-expression. It also builds self-respect and is good for memory skills. "
The power of music
Much research supports both Spencer and Plato. A Stanford University study found that musical training improves the way the brain processes the spoken word.
Research from Canada found that children aged four to six years old who had music lessons had better memories, as well as higher ability to read and write and maths levels．
Not in the curriculum （课程）
Research shows it's not that smart kids play music; it's that music makes kids smarter. It supports Spencer's call for music to be a standard part of the school curriculum, like English and maths．
“Music is everywhere, but not at 75 per cent of public schools around Australia who don't have a devoted music teacher," Spencer says. "It's sad that many children don't have access to formal musical education, particularly when it has such an effect on a child's development.”
It's up to parents
Involving our children in music doesn't have to be expensive. And many parents give their kids musical exposure subliminally（下意识地）, be it through singing, the radio or stereo. But parents can take it to the next level by talking about music and exposing kids to different styles.
- 16 -
For many older children, music is part of their culture and while parents don't have to like it, they can still engage their kids in conversation about it．
Ideally, Spencer would like every child to learn an instrument. “Kids can access cheap instruments like a ukulele, recorder or harmonica," Spencer says. He says the Internet has a lot of free videos which teach you how to play instruments．
"I can't stress enough how important music is," he says. "It builds relationships, unites people and, most importantly, it is fun.”
28.Plato's words are mentioned at the beginning of the text to show that ______．
A. music has magic power B. everything is related to music
C. Don Spencer admires Plato D. music was important in ancient time
29. From the research mentioned in the passage, we can learn ______．
A. music can make children smarter
B. children aged four to six have better memories
C. there are no professional music teachers in Australia
D. music is a standard part of the school curriculum in most schools
30. It can be inferred from the last four paragraphs that ______．
A. parents always expose their children to different music
B. parents cannot talk about music with their older children
C. musical instruments are often expensive and not available
D. people can have easy access to leaning how to play instruments
31. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. When Music Is Taught B. Why Music Matters
C. What We Learn from Music D. How Children Learn Music
D
They are most likely to be healthy, wealthy and wise, according to the old saying.
But those who are early to bed and early to rise do not always have the upper hand, researchers say. They have revealed that night owls are generally brighter and wealthier than those able to get up early in the morning.
Experts from the University of Madrid carried out tests on around 1,000 teenagers and found that those who preferred to stay up late demonstrated the kind of
- 16 -
intelligence associated with honored jobs and higher incomes. ‘Larks or ‘morning people’, however, often acquired better exam results, possibly because lessons are held at the wrong time of day for night owls. The researchers examined the habits and body clocks of the youngsters to determine whether they liked to stay up late and sleep in later in the morning, or preferred to go to bed early and were at their peak in the morning. School performance and inductive (归纳的) intelligence, or problem solving, were measured and academic grades in the major subjects were also taken into account. The results showed that evening types scored higher than morning types on inductive reasoning, which has been shown to be a good estimate of general intelligence and a strong indicator of academic performance. They also had a greater capacity to think conceptually as well as analytically. Such abilities have been linked to innovative thinking, more admired occupations and better incomes.
Famous night owls include President Obama, Charles Darwin, Winston Churchill, Keith Richards and Elvis Presley. George W Bush, who is regularly in bed by 10pm, Thomas Edison, Napoleon, Condoleezza Rice, who wakes at 4.30am, and Ernest Hemingway are among those known as larks. Jim Horne, professor of psychophysiology at Loughborough University, said: ‘Evening types tend to be the more active and creative types, the poets, artists and inventors, while the morning types are the deducers (推断者), as are often seen with civil servants and accountants.’ A previous study of US Air Force recruits found evening types were much better at thinking laterally (横向) to solve problems than larks.
32. The underlined word “owl” in the text means:__________
A. A bird of prey that flies at night
B. A bird of prey that is a symbol of wisdom
C. A kind of person who stays up late
D. A kind of person who gets up early
33. The following features belong to night owls except that _______.
A. Night owls are much healthier, wealthier and wiser
B. Night owls have a strong ability to reason logically
C. Night owls are expert in analyzing and innovative thinking
- 16 -
D. Night owls stay up late and sleep later in the morning
34. What’s the author’s attitude towards night owls?
A. Skeptical. B. Negative. C. Subjective. D. Objective.
35. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. The early bird will catch the worm.
B. Morning types have a tendency to do some creative jobs.
C. Night owls usually do poorer in the examinations than larks.
D. President Obama and George W Bush are models of night owls.
