第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）
第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
Brooke, a mother of three young children, suffers from a rare disease that often puts her in so much pain that she can’t get out of bed. When this happens, her husband Jeremy has to take a day off work to care for the family. Understandably, finances are strained and every day is unpredictable.
To make matters worse, when Brooke needs to go to the Emergency Room, getting from her house to her car is “like climbing Mount Everest,” according to her friend Jamie. The family didn’t have a “proper path from their house to their car as well as a driveway,” Jamie said.
That is, until Random Acts TV, a television show I co-host on BYUtv, swooped in (从天而降). The show features acts of kindness done for good, deserving people who could use a friendly helping hand.
In our first-ever episode of the show, “Dream Driveway,” we put Brooke and Jeremy up in a hotel and took them out to lunch and a movie to help them celebrate their anniversary while Shawn Hastings and his company Good Concrete went to work. At the movie, we premiered a short commercial we made showing Shawn and his team building Brooke and Jeremy the new driveway of their dreams.
The new driveway changed their lives.
“It’s very humbling that people... think of us,” Shawn said when he witnessed the transformation. He was crying. We were crying. All their friends were crying. It was an amazing moment.
This kind of thing is what Random Acts is all about. There is too much suffering in the world, and we see it as our job-as the job of everyone-to help alleviate (减轻) it when we can in whatever ways we can.
21. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. Brooke and her three children.
B. The love between Brooke and Jeremy.
C. The rare disease Brooke suffers from.
D. The hard life the family lives.
22. Getting Brooke from her house to her car is .
A. funny. B. difficult. C. dangerous. D. impossible.
23. What is Random Acts?
A. A non-profit organization.
B. A commercial company.
C. A group of kind people.
D. A television show.
B
Have you ever caught yourself watching the clock while on the job? Do the hours seem to drag by as you sit at your office desk?
First of all, it could be a sign that you’re in the wrong career. But another culprit (罪魁祸首) could be the long hours you’re spending in the office, experts say. Turns out, long working hours actually backfire for employees, making them less productive. Inc.com reports that over the course of an eight-hour workday, employees are only productive for about three hours, on average. On the other hand, employees who cut down their working hours tend to get more done.
Not convinced? Just ask Sweden! Companies in this Scandinavian country are beginning to scale back the length of the day, opting for a six-hour workday, Fast Company reports. And the results have been overwhelmingly positive. For Linus Feldt, CEO of Filimundus, the incentive to change came from his own experience.
“I think the eight-hour workday is not as effective as one would think,” he said. “To stay focused on a specific work task for eight hours is a huge challenge.... In order to cope, we mix in things and pauses to make the workday more endurable. At the same time, we are having it hard to manage our private life outside of work. We want to spend more time with our families. I wanted to see if there could be a way to mix these things.”
When Filimundus switched his company to a six-hour workday last year, he was immediately impressed. His employees were focusing more intensely on their work.
His employees “were happy leaving the office and happy coming back the next day,” Feldt
said. ‘They didn’t feel very tired. That has also helped the work groups to work better together now, when we see less conflicts and arguments.”
24. According to the passage, if you were in the wrong career, you would .
A. complain about the pay
B. prefer a six-hour workday
C. feel office time drags
D. hate a three-hour workday
25. Long working hours .
A. cause negative effects
B. make employees more efficient
C. are forbidden in Sweden
D. make a workday fruitful
26. What drove Linus Feldt to switch his company to a six-hour workday?
A. His unhappy employees.
B. Conflicts in his company.
C. Newspaper reports.
D. His own experience.
C
There is a new cell-phone ring tone that can’t be heard by most people over the age of twenty, according to an NPR (National Public Radio) report. The tone is derived from something called the Mosquito, a device invented by a Welsh security firm. The device emits a 17 kilohertz (赫兹) buzz, a pitch that is too high for older ears to register, but is “ear-splitting” for younger people. Persons unknown have produced a copy of the Mosquito buzz for use as a cell-phone ring tone, evidently with the idea that it will enable students to receive notification of new text messages while sitting in class, without the knowledge of the teacher.
The real interest of the story, of course, lies elsewhere. The news is not that students are fooling their teachers, which was never news. It is that one more way for middle-aged people to feel that they’re losing it has been discovered. The public concern over natural hearing loss is part of a trend. People worry about being old before they get old. Americans are living longer but, somehow, aging sooner.
People tend to regard the gradual atrophying (衰退) of their faculties as a bad thing. Is it, though? Sure, it’s tied up with stuff that you don’t want to think too much about. The point is that mental and physical development never stops. No matter how old you are, and development is one of the things that make it interesting to be being. We imagine that we change our opinions or our personalities as we ripen. We can’t help it. The chemistry has altered.
This means that some things that were once present to us become invisible, go off the screen; the compensation is that new things swim into view. We may lose hormones (荷尔蒙), but we gain empathy (共鸣).
27. What is the most significant feature of the new cell-phone ring tone?
A. It imitates the sound of mosquitoes.
B. It is a kind of security device.
C. It can only be heard by young people.
D. It is a revolution in cell-phone industry.
28. Why are people so interested in the story?
A. Students can fool their teachers in a new way.
B. Technology is greatly changing our world.
C. The device is a product of a security firm.
D. People are worried about aging.
29. Who might be the writer of the passage?
A. A middle school student.
B. The inventor of the Mosquito.
C. A middle-aged man.
D. The reporter of NPR.
30. What is the writer’s attitude towards aging?
A. Unfriendly. B. Concerned. C. Irresponsible. D. Optimistic.

Here’s What Your Favorite Perfume (香水) Is Really Saying About Your Personality
Your perfume, yourself
31 In his years of research, Alan R. Hirsc, founder of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, has administered personality tests to 18,631 people and compared the results to the participants’ flavor preferences. There are a lot of great implications for the findings, according to Dr. Hirsch, because you can understand someone much better if you know what they like. When you’re on a date, for example, you can smell the person’s perfume and instantly know much more about their personality. 32
Rose wearers are cautious
“These people are sensitive to the needs of others. They tend to weigh all options before making a choice,” Dr. Hirsch says. 33 You take the time to reflect on your decisions instead of simply diving right into the action.
Fruity fragrance fans are moody
We imagined that people who wear fruity perfumes would be as sweet as the strawberry scent on their necks-but apparently we were mistaken. “They tend to be more irritable (易怒的) and pessimistic,” says Dr. Hirsch. 34
Linen (麻) lovers are drawn to challenges
If you smell of linen (also known as fresh laundry or cotton), you’re someone who runs marathons (马拉松) for fun. 35 You enjoy pushing your endurance to the limits.
A. There’s interesting data linking your perfume choice to your personality.
B. People are amazed that you’re always training for something extraordinary.
C. Do you always take charge in group situations?
D. If you love anything that smells of berries or fruits, it’s time to adjust your attitude.
E. Impulse control has never been an issue for you, as you’re naturally cautious.
F. Based on Dr. Hirsch’s findings, these are the perfume-personality pairings you’re most likely to find.
G. They value friendship and they tend to work well in groups.

Unlike learning how to 36 , studying math seemed to have no purpose other than to give me massive 37 . The alphabet was a wonderful code that, when deciphered (破译), 38 me with stories and revealed secrets about the world. Multiplication tables, 39 , just told me how much six times nine was.

Though I’m through with math classes now, math 49 has a way of making me sick. It’s not 50 I can’t do the math; it’s just that it is math. 51 , however, a strange thing has happened. One day, I bought a book called Mathematics for People Who Hate Math, and 52 parts of it seem to have been written in a foreign language, I’ve 53 been enjoying the book. In physics and electronics, even in music, mathematics does have a meaning. Like the 54 of the alphabet, numerical signs can tell stories and reveal secrets about the world. Now I think I might even enjoy learning more about math-on my own terms, 55 my own pace.

Playing endless games of hide and seek with your toddler can get tiring very quickly. And sometimes parents need a break from pretending not to know the very obvious spot their child is hiding. Well, you no longer have to feel guilty about letting your kids sit down in front of the television for an hour or two, because it’s been proven, that in certain circumstances, screen time for your kids can actually be beneficial.
The key thing to remember is that unsupervised and too much screen time isn’t good for your kids, but some situations let you relax and will keep your kids entertained. One example is video chatting with family. The American Academy of Pediatrics reported that maintaining strong relationships with your family members that live far away is an important part of development. Being able to visually see their face and chat with them at the same time is good for your kids, even if it’s on a screen. So let your little one sit on the couch, Facetime in grandma and grandpa, and you can go and catch up on other things around the house.
Another way to incorporate screen time in a beneficial way is to watch TV together. Turn on an educational kids show and sit next to your toddler to answer any questions that they might have. The AAP says that a few hours of television a week is fine as long as you make it a family activity and encourage your kids to ask questions about the show. One show in particular that can be extremely beneficial to watch together is Daniel Tiger s Neighborhood on PBS. Researchers at Texas Tech University reported that kids who watched 10 episodes over a two-week period had higher levels of confidence, and they were able to recognize emotions better.
So don’t feel guilty for letting your kids sit inside for a little; all parents need a break.

The sportswear company Nike says it’s suspending its relationship with the Russian tennis star Maria Sharap ova after she announced that she’d failed a drugs test at this year’s Australian Open.
Nike said it would await the outcome of an investigation.
Sharapova earlier said she had tested positive for meldonium, a drug used to treat blood flow
restriction, and had failed to notice that the tennis authorities had moved it to the list of banned substances last December. She said that she had let her fans down.
