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）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Small talk - the likes of “What do you have there? Popcorn?” or “The weather today is beautiful, isn’t it?” - is meaningless and a waste of time, according to some people. But scientists believe that it is actually more useful than it may appear to be.
One example comes when you are on a train or a plane. The thought of talking to the stranger sitting beside you can be scary, because you know the conversation is sure to be awkward. But a study by the University of Chicago in the US found that people who chat to strangers enjoy a better ride than those who sit in silence or bury themselves in their phones — most strangers were not only willing to be talked to, but also pleasant to talk to.
“Human beings are social animals,” Nicholas Epley, one of the lead researchers, told Live Science. “Other people are people, too. And it turns out that they’d like to get to know you.”
Apart from making you happier, small talk with strangers can also help you feel connected to
your surroundings. Previous studies found that when people are frequently smiled at, made eye contact with and spoken to at coffee shops, they tend to have a stronger sense of belonging instead of feeling like they are being ignored and left out.
And if you are already comfortable enough to make small talk with strangers, you should try to develop it into something “bigger”. A 2010 study proved that having a deep and meaningful conversation gives you even more happiness than small talk. But deep conversations can start with small talk, can’t they? So the first step is to start talking, no matter how casual the topic is. And who knows, maybe an opening line as simple as “I like your hat” could lead to a serious conversation in which you learn something new from a strange.
21. What does the underlined sentence imply?
A. Most people are defensive to strangers.
B. People tend to know each other.
C. People are afraid of being talked to.
D. People like to show their good side to strangers.
22. According to Para.4, small talk can make people .
A. waste less time
B. get more useful information
C. feel they’re ignored
D. feel like they are part of the surroundings
23. How can you get more happiness from small talk?
A. Talk to strangers.
B. Start with casual topics.
C. Try to make the small talk into a deeper one.
D. Choose pleasant surroundings.
24. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Small talk makes us happy.
B. Different opinions about small talk.
C. How to start a small talk in our daily life.
D. The difference between small talks and deep conversations.
B
The way in which people in Latin America spend their money changes from country to country. It obviously depends on the economy (经济), but it’s not sensible to compare economies such as those of Argentina, Colombia or Mexico. As they are not the same, consumers spend their money in different ways.
In Argentina for example, due to the fact that there aren’t many ways to get a loan (贷款) and because of their cost, Argentineans prefer to buy cars. They invest their money in electrical appliances (电器). They also spend a good part of their salaries on leisure: going out to dinner, to the movies or to the theater.
In Colombia, “plata”, which is an informal word for money, is used to buy houses. It doesn’t matter if you already have one, you can always buy a second one and rent it. Cars are also a very attractive option to spend money on; however, the most important thing is a house. Some people also spend their money on education: bachelor’s degrees, master’s programs, doctorates (博士学位) and so on. Recently, some Colombian people have decided to spend their money on something else: surgery (手术). The most common ones are to improve their nose, to lose some weight and also to gain weight in specific areas.
Mexican people spend their money on houses as well, and some on cars after that. Nonetheless, it’s also important to mention fun and going out for dinner. Some people say that they spend lots of money in restaurants.
However, be aware that those are just some general consumption habits in Latin America; it doesn’t mean that people there only spend their money on those things.
25. What’s the purpose of writing the article?
A. To compare economies of Latin American countries.
B. To explore consumption habits in Latin America.
C. To present the changes in people’s consumption habits.
D. To analyze why Latin American countries spend money in different ways.
26. What is true about Argentineans’ consumption habits?
A. Cars are relatively affordable for Argentineans.
B. Argentineans spend little money on electrical appliances.
C. All of Argentineans’ salaries are spent on going out to dinner.
D. Getting a loan is the common way for Argentineans to buy cars.
27. What can be concluded from the article?
A. Colombia is the most educated country in Latin America.
B. Colombian people prefer to spend money on cars rather than on houses.
C. Eating out is one of Mexican people’s important consumption habits.
D. People in Mexico and Colombia attach a lot of importance to education.

Mid-afternoon on a particularly busy Tuesday, I took leave of my desk at work and walked into a local Starbucks, only to find a space where neither my clients (客户) nor my children would ask me to do something.
Inside, I ran into Kate, a co-worker of mine. The topic of parenthood came up. I complained about how packed my schedule was. From the minute I wake up to the minute I fall asleep, I was constantly in demand and always had someone knocking at the door. But a bit of sadness seemed to come over Kate’s face.
“Well, my daughter’s in San Francisco and she doesn’t seem to need me at all these days,” Kate said. It was in that moment that I realized although I might often feel in high demand, there will come a day when I’ll actually miss that same stress I now complain about.
And as our conversation continued, it turned to our children’s younger years, with Kate smiling proudly, thinking of the little boy and girl she raised who are now a man and a woman. But I noticed her smile was marked with regret. She explained that she often wondered about what she could have done differently when her children were in their earlier years.
This got me thinking. Is regret an unfortunate footnote (注脚) to parenthood? With that in mind, I asked six older parents one question: What is your biggest regret from your early days as a parent?
It turned out that all of them thought they could have done it better. But, each of them also has a strong, healthy relationship with their kids. Whatever regrets their parents might have had about their upbringing, one thing is clear - it didn’t affect them in a meaningful way.
The bottom line is, we all feel like we could be doing this parenting thing better. And quite clearly, years later, we’re still going to look back and wish we tried things differently. But the past can’t be changed, and neither should it.
32. What can be inferred from the first three paragraphs?
A. Kate had the same problem as the author’s.
B. The two people had arranged to meet in the coffee shop.
C. Kate went to the coffee shop so no one could find her there.
D. The author went to the coffee shop to escape from the pressures around him.
33. Why did Kate feel sad and regretful?
A. Because she and her daughter had a fight.
B. Because she hadn’t paid enough attention to her kids.
C. Because she thought that she could have done better in raising her kids.
D. Because she was disappointed with her kids，performance.
34. When the author spoke to six older parents, he found that .
A. some of the parents have a bad relationship with their kids
B. he was moved by the love of these parents for their children
C. these parents improved their behavior after their kids grew up
D. none of the parents were completely satisfied with the way they raised their kids
35. What should parents do according to the last paragraph?
A. Let your children grow up with freedom.
B. Never stop learning how to be a good parent from others.
C. Cherish the present time and do one’s best to be a parent.
D. Give more love to their kids.

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。
As you grow older, you’ll be faced with some challenging decisions—like whether to cut class or try cigarettes. Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder. People who are your age, like your classmates, are called peers. 36
Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. 37 These are examples of how peers positively influence each other.
38 For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them; your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball.
It is tough to be the only one who gays “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it. 39 You’ve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to “choose your friends wisely.” Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this. If you choose friends who don’t cut class, smoke cigarettes, or lie to their parents, then you probably won’t do these things either, even if other kids do.
If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust. 40 Learning from the mistakes is more important.
A. Most of us have experienced such kind of period.
B. Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways.
C. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.
D. Don’t feel guilty if you’ve made a mistake or two.
E. When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure.
F. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone’s reading it.
G. For some teenagers, it’s difficult to get through this time.

W: That may work for other people, but it’s not my style and it’s expensive. I’d rather buy those videos and exercise at home.
M: Well, everyone I know who has tried to get in shape by exercising at home has given up. At least if you pay to join the gym, you’ll be more likely to go because you won’t want to waste your money.
W: You might have a point, but I really don’t want to spend die money right now. There must be something else I can do to get in shape.

W: That sounds really good!

The usual twelve lines will be open at the end of die program, so give us a ring as soon as you know die answers. If you can’t get through the first time, then keep trying and trying. But, and it’s a big but, you can only make one call and, in order to win the two tickets, your three answers must be completely correct. Good luck!
