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，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
A
“Joe? Is that you?” The woman speaking to me at the baseball game looked a little familiar. “Marci?” I asked.
“It IS you !” she cried out, smiling broadly. “Gosh, it’s good to see you again !”
It was good to see Marci, too. Off and on during the past few decades, I’ve wondered about her. I almost tried to search for her a few years ago after talking to a friend who had indicated that the 1990s had been pretty rough for Marci. So meeting her at the baseball game was really out of
expectation.
We spent a few minutes talking about our lives—the good old, bad old days. Then Marci grew quiet for a moment. “You know, Joe,” she said, “ I’ve always wanted to tell you…how…how sorry I am for the way I treated you. You must have been hurt both physically and mentally.” I was a little embarrassed. I turned and looked at her. “It’s OK,” I said, “No big deal!” “But I was such a jerk,” she continued. Yes you were, I thought. “We were both pretty young,” I smiled. “I know.” she said, “It’s just always bothered me, remembering how mean I was to you. And I’ve wanted to tell you that I’m sorry.”
The expression on her face was warm and sincere. And there was something in her eyes—it looked a lot like relief. “OK,” I said. “Apology accepted!” Overcome by the sweetness of the moment, I reached an arm around her and gave her a quick hug. Just then, the crowd erupted with a huge cheer, and Marci and I both returned our attention to the game. By the time I looked over to where she had been, she was gone. But the warm, wonderful feeling of our brief exchange was still there, and continues to this day whenever I think about it.
It isn’t enough to just say “I’m sorry” and “You’re forgiven.” But when those words are truly felt and sincerely expressed, they can open the door to miracles of the heart. Forgiveness can bring peace to an injured soul—even years after the fact. Even at a baseball game.
21. What kind of life did Marci live during the late 20th century according to the passage?
A. Happy. B.Hard C. Busy D. Simple.
22. Why did Marci look in relief after talking with the author?
A. Because her favorite team won the game.
B. Because she learned Joe was living a good life.
C. Because she made an apology to the author.
D. Because she found she was not mean any longer.
23. What might be the best title for the passage?
A Miracles of Forgiveness B. Mental Burden of a Woman
C. . Excitement of a Baseball Game D. Relief of Finding a friend
B
I suffered with serious social anxiety and anger issues as long as I can remember. I never directed the anger but had a habit of being bad to myself. I hated the girl like me.
A couple of years ago I came up with a plan of positivity: every time I became very angry about something I couldn’t change or not getting a promotion, I’d do a random act of charity — things like loosing money or donating goods to our local food bank. In that way, I might feel better.
At the start of this month I and my partner went on our first holiday in years. We climbed Mt.Teide and as I stood at the top lost in my first taste of high altitude, something in my brain burst. Would it be a life changing experience or a neuron (神经元) dying because of a lack of oxygen? I felt a beam of light shining in my heart.
I came down that mountain calmly. This feeling lasted and is still going. I went back to work and didn’t panic. I actually removed my headphones to talk to someone I knew in the street. I was calm. I went to the supermarket and shopped and kept my cool. One day, I lost some money but I acknowledged it was only money and my happiness did not depend on it.
I changed my random act plan after the holiday, for every day I was anxiety-free. I’d do something to say “thank you” to life for a good day. I would simply donate to charity, donate food for humans and pets, help random strangers lift their shopping and broadcast endless positivity to my work friends.
24. The author did some charity years ago with the intention of _______.
A. becoming famous
B. making herself happier
C. showing her kindness to the public
D. going after a sense of achievement
25. What does the underlined word “something” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The idea to make a change.
B. The feeling caused by lacking oxygen.
C. The sense of enjoying the beautiful scene.
D. The tiredness caused by climbing the mountain.
26. What was the change for the author after she came down the mountain?
A. She became more generous.
B. She became fond of broadcasting.
C. She became more confident and outgoing.
D. She became addicted to shopping.
27. What do we know about the author?
A. She had bad relationship with her colleagues.
B. She got angry easily when she did her job.
C. She had never travelled with her friend before.
D. She used to have difficulty in communicating with others.
C
Have you ever felt so tired after staying up for a night that even coffee doesn’t give you the energy that you need? You may have an energy drink, but the benefits of drinking one are heavily outweighed by the risks.
In the past years, more and more studies have found the deadly effects of energy drinks on our bodies. The sugar, caffeine and energy supplements (添加物) in energy drinks make up a deadly mixture of ingredients that can affect your heart function and send you to the hospital!
A study by the University of Bonn, Germany found that frequent consumption of energy drinks can greatly change the way our heart functions. The study went on to say that consuming energy
drinks often causes significantly increased heart contractions(收缩) in adults, which has the potential of putting you at risk for irregular heartbeats.
It is possible that many people are unaware of the alarming side effects of energy drinks because of the way they are labelled. Most energy drinks contain between 80 milligrams to over 350 milligrams of caffeine, sugar and energy supplements. When an energy drink is marketed as a diet supplement it may be distributed without a “nutrition facts” label, which would show the harmful supplements that are in the drink. However, even if energy drinks are Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved, they don’t have to show the number of supplements.
Energy drinks may be widely available but they aren’t the healthiest or safest choice for your body. To stay naturally energized, get organized and stay on top of your work so that you aren’t having to stay up all night to complete assigned tasks. If you’d like a natural energy boost you could make time for a short workout, which will give you all of the energy you need!
28. Which of the following is the side effect of the energy drinks?
A. Making people thinner. B. Making people’s heart bigger.
C. Making people run a risk of falling ill. D. Making people suffer from heart attack.
29. Why are many people unaware of the harmful effects of energy drinks?
A. Because they don’t read the label carefully.
B. Because FDA thinks they are healthy drinks.
C. Because the harmful materials are not labeled.
D. Because factories of energy drinks lie to drinkers.
30. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The effects of energy drinks. B. The benefits of doing exercise.
C. The better choice of right drinks. D. The way to have enough energy.
31. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Don’t Drink Energy Drinks B. Many People Enjoy Energy Drinks
C. The Materials Energy Drinks Contain D. Energy Drinks Could Send You to Hospital
D
In our daily life,people may doubt various things,but will never doubt that parents are willing to do anything for their children.Whether it would be food,clothes,or the place they live,parents will always make sure their children have the best of everything.
However,one of the biggest concerns that parents currently have is educating their children.They are faced with lots of difficulties when it comes to offering education to their young ones.Choices include private school,charter school or public school,or ever homeschooling.
Fortunately for parents,there are a variety of different strategies that a parent can take in order to increase their child's skills and overall intelligence.
According to a professor of psychology,PHD,Ross A.Thompson,at the University of California,a child's brain will actually reach 90% of its full size by the time they start kindergarten.
Researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago concluded that playing a musical instrument directly affected the brain stem,the lower section of the brain.Moreover,children who learn an instrument at an early age tend to continue it when they grow older.And numerous studies show that a well balanced meal is essential for a child's mental and physical health.It's recommended that parents teach their children two languages at once.Research suggests that a second language should be taught when children are in preschool.Other studies state that three to four years of age is the perfect time.Clearly,any age under four would work perfectly fine for a child.
The average child will learn how to read between kindergarten and second grade.Many parents can give their children a jump start by teaching them to read before they start school.Children could have an adequate background of alphabet and sounds of words before attending school.This can be done by simply reading to them whenever you want.The more comfortable they get,the easier the process will be.
32.Form the first paragraph,we can infer that .
A.parents get actively involved in the process of their kids' growth.
B.parents have more choices in offering education to their kids.
C.parents meet a new challenge when raising their kids.
D.parents find it hard to satisfy their kids' various demands.
33.What suggestion may the researchers make in the passage?
A.To use as many available resources as possible.
B.To try as many means as possible.
C.To help kids develop as fully as possible.
D.To train kids as early as possible.
34.What does the fifth paragraph discuss about?
A.The effective ways to help develop children's brain.
B.The vital factors to have a great effect on children's health.
C.The proper time to teach children to learn languages.
D.The practical steps to arouse children's interest in study.
35.We can replace the underlined expression in the last paragraph with .
A.inspiration B.promotion C.suggestion D.introduction

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。
You probably know that exercise is the key to reducing depression, but you might not know
why. Here are some tips for exercising when you’re depressed.
Change your view of “exercise”.
Forget “exercise”. Instead, think “being active” or “having fun”. 36 Besides, it gives you a bigger emotional benefit.
37
Taking part in physical activities with others supports you in doing those activities. Ask friends what activities they’re doing or they would like to start doing, and join them. Other choices include hiring a personal trainer, joining an exercise group or going to a class.
Try an experiment.
38 Or go to the gym every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Even if you’re feeling too tired to do any actual exercise, still go to the gym, park your car, walk in, change into workout clothes, and pick up a 5-pound weight. If you’re really so tired that you don’t want to do anything else, that’s totally fine.
Take it outside.
Nature has a great effect on our mood and decreases depressive symptoms. Even just looking at images of lakes and trees helps. 39 Or walk on a treadmill by a window.
Tie it to a goal.
Korb said, “When you connect your exercise to a long-term goal, it helps your brain overlook momentary discomfort and makes your exercise more satisfying.” For instance, Korb started getting active because it made playing sports more enjoyable. Figure out what’s truly important to you. 40 [来源:Z|xx|k.Com]
A. Move with someone else.
B. Remind yourself of your goal regularly.
C. Sign up and go to exercise classes.
D. It’s a lot easier to do something simple.
E. Remember your partner to company you.
F. Take a walk around your neighborhood or a local park.
G. This increases your chances of actually moving your body.

Dear Jack,
I’m writing to give you some advice about how to make preparations for a successful interview in a Chinese company. First of all, you’d better know that company in advance, including its history, boss and products, etc. As a saying goes, “If you know the enemy and yourself, you can fight a hundred battles without defeat.” During the interview, you should keep a smile on your face, and you should be confident in yourself, which can give the interviewers a good impression, Besides, you should be good at speaking oral Chinese, so I advise you to practise it often in daily life.
I wish you could get success. Good luck to you!
Yours,
Li Hua
