第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，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）
A
My mom takes pride in the fact that I was talking in three and four word sentences before I was ten months old. Some say it’s a gift while others simply think I talk too much.
As my thirties came to a close, I found myself reflecting on my life. I’m very happy and have no significant regrets. However, when I looked back on those times of difficulty, I saw a clear common denominator(特征); I didn’t seem to know when to stop talking. Whether it was hurting someone’s feelings, or having carelessly told a secret, the incident could have been avoided had I closed my mouth sooner. So I decided to practice the power of quiet.
To take this step, I needed to understand how people could sit comfortably in a group and not talk. Why does my husband feel completely content to say nothing in a conversation? He’s highly intelligent and has wonderful opinions but he’ll sit quietly and just listen. Even when he’s asked a pointed question, he’ll answer with few words while still communicating effectively. What a talent!
Can you imagine being happy just listening? In surveying those I know who talk less than I do, I got two answers—they either didn’t feel confident enough to speak up, or they just didn’t feel the need to participate in the conversation. Of course there were other reasons for not talking, but these were the two most popular answers.
The first one didn’t work for me. I’m just fine letting people know what I think about them, and hopefully it will make the conversation much more interesting. The second one didn’t work either. I do feel the need to participate. I feel it physically like an electrical pulse through my body; sometimes it’s so strong that it causes me to behave badly in the form of interrupting or speaking in an unusually loud voice. I had to look further.
An interesting thing happened on this journey to the power of quiet. During my weekly yoga class, it came to me like an answer so clear that the words rang in my head like soft, heavenly bells.
I talked too much so people would know I cared about them. It was my way of taking care of those I love. I decided before my fortieth birthday, that from that day forward, those around me would know I loved them, and cared what they thought and felt, but I was going to practice the power of quiet.
As my forty-second birthday approaches, I can say that deciding to talk less has been more about focusing on quality rather than quantity. I’ve found that listening more shows those who I care about that I really do care how they feel. Now when I break in, it means more to them. Oh, sure, I still have my short periods of talking too much, but for the most part this has been one resolution that I can call a success.
21. In Paragraph 3 the writer mentions her husband mainly ______.
A. to show how one communicates effectively
B. to explain the reason for his silence in a conversation
C. to give an example of those who have the power of quiet
D. to give her high opinion of his communication skills
22. By “I had to look further”, the writer means she had to ______.
A. look into the future in order to succeed in practicing the power of quiet
B. try harder to prevent herself from talking too much
C. survey people in other areas who talk little
D. find out other reasons why she should talk less
23. Which of the following best describe the writer’s character?
A. Kind but pessimistic. B. Loving and active.
C. Selfless but proud. D. Stubborn and sensitive.
B
Mary Krupa became friends with the grey squirrels during her first week at Penn State, after spotting them running around and idly (漫不经心的) wondering what they would look like with tiny hats on their heads. Today, everyone at the university knows her as the “Squirrel Girl”.
Mary started bringing them food, and gradually they began to trust her. She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture. Thinking that her colleagues could do with something to lift up their spirits, she started posting similar photos on Facebook. The response was greatly positive, and before long Mary and her squirrels became an Internet sensation.
Growing up in a neighborhood outside State College, Mary was always fond of birds and animals around her home, but she didn’t interact with (交流) people very much. She was later diagnosed with Asperser’s syndrome, but the squirrels changed that. “The squirrels are actually a good way to break the ice, because I’ll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and we’ll just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them,” she said. ”I am a lot more outgoing.”
And in case you’re wondering how Mary is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos, it has a lot to do with food. For example, whenever she wants them to hold or play with something, she puts peanut butter on the prop (道具), and they’ll grab it. But getting to that part took a while. In the beginning, she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them, but they hesitated to approach her. She had the patience to earn their trust, though.
This year, Mary is graduating with a degree in English and wildlife sciences. She wants to be a science writer and educate people on how to preserve the environment. As for her furry friends, Mary plans to stay in the area and visit them as often as she can.
24. What does the underlined word “sentation” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Hit. B. Challenge. C. Attack. D. Link.
25. What kind of change do squirrels bring to Mary?
A. She is sicker than before. B. She is more interested in animals.
C. She is more sociable than before. D. She is less willing to go to college.
26. How did Mary manage to take photos of squirrels wearing hats?
A. By putting them in cages. B. By playing music to them.
C. By attracting them with colorful food. D. By building a close relationship with them.
27. Which words can best describe Mary?
A. Confident and strong. B. Patient and caring.
C. Sociable and healthy. D. Traditional and hard-working.
C
In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老) treated the message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.
Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light-heartedly out of the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh boy, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.” I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, but for his smile.
Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile, “Oh, that bus left five minutes ago.” Dreams of head cutting!
It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered(传送). Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he didn’t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know，when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.
Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you’re tired from a long
flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet？When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as a traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.
Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, “Oh, that’s all right. I’ll catch the next one.” Big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轰炸的)person is sure to have.
28. From “Dreams of head-cutting!” (Paragraph 3), we learn that the writer________.
A. was reminded of the cruel pharaoh
B. was mad at the sales agent
C. wished that the sales agent would have bad dreams
D. dreamed of cutting the sales agent’s head that night
29. Which of the following is true?
A. The author really appreciated the neighbor’s warning.
B. From the passage we know that it is the bad news that makes someone angry.
C. If the runner brought to the pharaoh unhappy news, he would be treated like a prince.
D. When we want to deliver any bad news, we should share the feeling of the receiver.
30. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Receiving bad news requires great courage.
B. Helping others sincerely is the key to business success.
C. Delivering bad news with sympathy is important in communication.
D. Learning ancient traditions can be useful.
31. In the writer’s opinion, his neighbor was________.
A. not helpful B. not considerate C. friendly D. warm-hearted
D
A recent study, while showing a generally positive attitude toward science, also suggests a widespread worry that it may be “running out of control”. This idea is dangerous.
Science can be a force for evil as well as for good. Its applications can be channeled either way, depending on our decisions. The decisions we make, personally or collectively, will determine the outcomes of science. But here is a real danger. Science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference. And, rather than fighting for the best possible policies, we may step back and do nothing.
Some people go even further. They say that despite the moral and legal objections(反对), whatever is scientifically possible will be done-somewhere, sometime. They believe that science will get out of control in the end. This belief is dangerous too, because it fuels a sense of hopelessness and discourages them from
making efforts to build a safer world.
In our interconnected world, the lack of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science. Without a common understanding, the challenges of “controlling” science in this century will be really tough. Take human cloning for example. Despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible huge impact(影响) on traditional moral values, some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques. The outcomes are hard to predict.
Therefore, discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies. Only through the united efforts of people with hope, can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can science best serve mankind in the future.
32. What can we conclude from the recent study?
A. People think highly of science.
B. Science is getting dangerously out of control.
C. People hold mixed opinions about science.
D. Science is used for both good and bad purposes.
33. According to the passage, what will happen if we hold that science is getting beyond control?
A. The development of science will hopelessly slow down.
B. The public will lose faith in bringing about a bright future.
C. Businesses will have even greater influence on science.
D. People will work more actively to put science under control.
34. The discussion should reach beyond scientific societies because_______
A. scientists have failed to predict the outcomes
B. the ties between different areas need strengthening
C. united efforts are necessary for the development of science
D. people need to work together to prevent the bad use of science
35. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Science and its applications bring us many dangers.
B. Mankind can largely take control of science with their efforts.
C. The future of science will be influenced by the dangerous ideas.
D. The development of science mostly lies in people's attitudes.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
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。
Coming face-to-face with your inadequacies can be painful，to say the least 36 It even makes you question yourself．Your knee-jerk reaction may be to get defensive or even dismiss the critique entirely．But handling negative feedback with grace will not only make you look gracious，but it could ultimately help you grow as a person．Here’s how to do it．
1．Be objective about the criticism
Before you jump to conclusions and begin to challenge the other person’s opinion，take a step back and look at it objectively．
Next time you get a bad review，don’t immediately allow your emotions to get the better of you，but rather，take a moment to consider whether the criticism is at all accurate． 37
2．Avoid unnecessary conflict
If you decide that the point is valid，it may be hard to take．In your discomfort，you may feel the urge to criticize the other person angrily and defend yourself． 38
3．Be open to the idea of change
39 And it may be because of a concept called“cognitive dissonance”that Can prevent us from changing even when that’s what we need most．
4．Ask questions
If you’re open to using the criticism as a springboard to improvement,you will likely need more information．40 Your emotions will be tiding high，and you may not be particularly receptive to extra information．However，when you feel ready，it could be worth revisiting the subject with the person who criticized you．Even if you don’t agree with their advice，thank them and promise to consider it．
A．Most of us are pretty stubborn．
B．There is no doubt that change is necessary．
C．But it’s best to avoid getting into an argument．
D．Being sensitive to criticism leads you nowhere．
E．It challenges the way you believe people see you
F．Give yourself a chance to really take in the information and evaluate it．
G．The initial moment you hear it may not be the best time to ask for more details．
