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。
A
Pop idols are celebrities who burn brighter than regular stars. If a star is someone you can recognize on the street, an idol is someone who will cause a stir at a public appearance.
Without fans, an idol is just an ordinary person, like you and me. As Reese Witherspoon once said while announcing the Oscar for best make-up, movie stars look just like people in documentaries(纪录片) if you see them without make-up.
I was once invited to a private party where about half of the guests were stars and the other half entertainment reporters. Guess what? The good-looking ones were the reporters because they tend to be young, and they glow without make-up.
Some idols are born; some are made. Most idols are created by a machine called the entertainment industry. They may have some charms and talent, but not enough to become famous. They are the raw material out of which a star, or even an idol, is made. An army of behind-the-scenes assistants will hype(炒作) or even make up their virtues and hide their shortcomings.
Paris Hilton is the kind of star who possesses no real talent but yet is quite well-known. This is the result of endless hype. If you are thrust into the limelight often enough, you can become a celebrity without having any talent.
Television contest shows create a much fairer more transparent platform where young people can compete and showcase their talent. The soap opera is another platform for idol making. These drama series are long, giving an actor much needed exposure. The actors and actresses are always well-lit, made up and beautifully dressed. Now all they need is some good dialogue from the scriptwriter( 编剧).
21. Which of the following statements agrees with the writer's viewpoint?
A. Most idols are born. B. The entertainment industry is more popular.
C. Many stars are often good looking D. Pop idols are not as pretty as you think.
22. Why does the writer use the example of Paris Hilton?
A. To show that hype is an important element in making a star.
B. To indicate that Paris Hilton is very famous.
C. To prove a star often lacks talent.
D . To show a star is popular because of the acting skills.
23. What does the writer think of the television contest show?
A. More practical B. More formal C. More equal D. More competitive
B
On 8th March this year, events marking International Women's Day (IWD) were held in many countries around the world. In most countries the events have a political tone: they tend to celebrate the advances women have made towards economic, social and political equality with men, and to press for change in those areas of life where there is still progress to be made.
In other countries, meanwhile, 8th March is traditionally more about expressing an appreciation of women: it is a day on which men give presents to their wives, girlfriends and mothers, and it therefore has some similarities with St Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day.
Back in 1911, the first IWD events in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland were certainly political. They were protests by women against forms of gender discrimination that would now be unthinkable in most parts of the world: almost nowhere were women allowed to vote, and Finland was the only country with some female members of a national parliament. The general expectation worldwide, across different continents and cultures, was that women would spend their lives largely in the home, devoting themselves to looking after their husbands and children. The rate of women who had paid employment was far lower than today, and when women did go out to work they typically earned very little, meaning they were economically dependent on men.
A century later, gender inequality in employment—particularly pay inequality—is still one of the hottest issues IWD tries to draw attention to: it remains common, of course, for women to earn
less than men for doing exactly the same job.
Limited educational opportunities (there are many countries in which girls generally stay fewer years in school than boys) and domestic violence towards women have also been highlighted by events surrounding IWD in recent years.
And yet, as the IWD website notes, alongside the ‘negatives’ there are plenty of ‘positives’. As just one example, to return to the issue of women elected to office, the change over the last hundred years has been significant. Since 1911, when the small group of women in the Finnish parliament (nineteen of them, to be exact) were the only females in public office worldwide, the governments of more than fifty different countries have been led by women. In 2011, at least one country in every continent has a female leader, including high-profile examples such as Brazil (Dilma Rousseff), Germany (Angela Merkel) and Australia (Julia Gillard).
24. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. 100 years ago, women were not allowed to work outside.
B. IWD is equal to St Valentine's Day and Mother's Day in some countries.
C. Finland was the first country with female employment.
D. Pay inequality is a hot issue for IWD.
25. Which word below is closest in meaning to the phrase "press for" in Paragraph 1?
A. prevent B. urge C. express D. want
26. We can conclude from the passage that .
A. the progress in gaining equality in the last century seems to be too slow
B. the concept of equal pay for equal work is completely accepted in practice
C. much has been achieved in gender equality, but still there is space for improvement
D. one or two female leaders can't stand for women's social status on the whole
C
Scientists have found that human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays while skiing in the snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach, according to a report by the UK newspaper.
The researchers at Kanazawa Medical University, Japan and American company Johnson & Johnson conducted the study together. They looked at the effects of light reflection on newly fallen snow on a ski trail in Ishikawa District, northern Japan. They compared the results with the levels of UV rays on a sand beach in southern Japan's Okinawa District.
They found that on the beach, eyes are exposed to a daily 260 kilojoules (千焦耳) of UV a square meter compared to 658 kilojoules in snow-covered areas.
The findings are supported by the Japan Meteorological (气象的) Agency. According to the agency, the reflection rate of UV light on beaches is often between 10 and 25 percent, compared to 80 percent in the new snow areas. The amount of light increased 4 percent with a 300-meter rise in height.
Most of us know that UV rays can harm the skin. That's why we wear sunscreen on our skin before we get out in the sun. But many of us may not realize that UV rays are also harmful to the eyes.
If your eyes are exposed to large amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time, you may experience a kind of sunburn of the eye, which is harmful. Your eyes will become red and feel a strange feeling. They may be sensitive to light. Fortunately, this is usually temporary and seldom causes permanent damage to the eyes.
Long-term exposure to UV radiation, however, can be more serious. Scientific studies and researches have shown that exposure to small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years increases the chance of eye damage, which could lead to total blindness.
27. You would most likely find the article in________________ .
A. a doctor's diary B. a travel journal
C. a medical magazine D. a physics textbook
28.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Too much eye exposure to UV rays may cause total blindness.
B. Short-time exposure of the eyes to UV rays doesn't harm them at all.
C. Most people know that UV rays harm the eyes as well as the skin.
D. The study was conducted by researchers from Japan, the USA and the UK.
29. Human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays while skiing in the snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach because__________________ .
A. Snow produces more UV light than water.
B. People don't wear sunscreen while skiing as they do while sitting on the beach.
C. The reflection rate of UV light in snow-covered areas is much higher than that on the beach.
D. Human eyes are exposed longer to UV light in the snow covered areas than on the beach.
30. What will the passage most probably talk about next?
A. Never ski on newly fallen snow in Japan.
B. Go to hospital to have your eyes examined.
C. Wearing a hat can provide protection while skiing in new snow areas.
D. Take some measures to protect your eyes while skiing in new snow areas.

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。
A recent survey in the United States showed that the average family spent more money on its
pets than on its children. Although rather shocking, it should not surprise anyone who has seen the
doggy parlors（客厅）where loved pets rest. Are Americans unique in treating their little friends in this way? 31
32 They certainly cost much. Last year the British public spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone, to say nothing of veterinary(兽医的)bills or animal furniture. It is difficult not to feel angry about this when considering what the same amount could do for victims of starvation and poverty.
There are a variety of reasons why I find pets-raising alarming. They cause physical problems. An example of this is New York where they have great difficulty getting rid of the mess that
dogs[ leave on the streets. 33 But in a number of large cities It is a major problem.
Another problem is the carelessness of pet owners. Most little children want a dog or a cat and they continually push their parents until they get one. But the parents don't realize how much time and money must be spent on the little friend after it’s brought home. Then they abandon it. 34 You must have read of children being hurt by pets on the street.
Lastly, I would suggest something should be done about it. In my view, it's time we stopped being sentimental（伤感的）about pets. 35 This will lead us to discovering cures for serious
human diseases.
A. Many people find this funny.
B. There's no definite answer to that question.
C. I can see no reason why we should get upset when animals are cut up for medical experiments.
D. Pet foods often contain more vitamins than human food.
E. As a result. they are allowed to run free.
F. This can be seen when we look at pet foods.
G. No. the English too, pay more attention to their pets.

第二节：概要写作（满分25分）
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Researchers who use animals in psychological experiments must make every effort to minimize (最小化) discomfort, illness, and pain. And procedures that cause animals great suffering are permitted only when no other procedure is available. Moreover, there are federal regulations stating how animals art to be housed, fed. and preserved. Not only must researches try very hard to avoid causing physical discomfort, they are also required to promote the psychological well-being of some
species of research animals, such as monkeys.
Why should animals be used for research in the first place? Is it really possible to learn about human behavior from the results of research employing rats and pigeons? The answer is that psychological research that does employ animals has a different focus and is designed to answer different questions than research that uses humans. For example, the shorter life span of animals (rats live an average of two years) allows researchers to learn about the effects of aging in a much smaller period than they could by using human participants. Moreover, some principles of behavior are similar across species, and so some basic behavioral phenomena can be studied more simply in animals. Finally, some studies require large numbers of participants that share similar backgrounds or have been exposed to particular environments—conditions that could not practically be met with human beings.
Research using animals has provided psychologists with information that has greatly benefited humans. For example, it provided the keys to noticing eye disorders in children early enough to prevent permanent damage
Despite the value of research with animal participants, the use of animals in psychological research is highly controversial. For example, some critics believe that animals have rights no less significant than those of humans, and that because animals are unable to agree to participation in studies, their use is not moral. Others object to the use of animals on methodological (方法论的) grounds, saying it is impossible to generalize from finding on nonhuman species to humans.
