第二部分：阅读理解
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
New York——Overweight youngsters may face discrimination(歧视)at school and in relationships, but a US study has found they can also receive it at home——from their own parents. Studies have shown parents are less likely to help overweight kids pay for college and less willing to help their overweight children buy cars.
“No one is going to be surprised that society discriminates against the overweight, but I think it is surprising that it can come from parents,” researcher Adriel Boals said. “Similar to college tuition, purchasing a car during the college years is a major expense and investment that parents can choose to provide aid with or not.”
Boals’ study noted that more than two-thirds of US adults are overweight and heavier people are known to face discrimination on the job, at school, and in relationships. They tend to earn less and are less likely to marry. There is evidence that depression and low self-esteem could be results of this type of prejudice.
For their study into family assistance with car purchase and weight status, the researchers surveyed 379 college students aged 17 to 26 years old, of whom 30 percent were male. They found that students who bought their own cars had a higher average body mass index(BMI, a measure of weight in relation to height)than people who got help from their parents.
A BMI above 25 is considered overweight while above 30 is obese(肥胖的). Among the 82 students who purchased cars themselves, 39 percent were overweight or obese, compared to about 18 percent of the 297 students who got help from their families. Gender(性别) and family income did not explain the relationship between BMI and financial help, nor did whether or not a youngster engaged in risky behavior.
36. Discrimination against overweight teenagers may______.
A. not come from family members but from classmates
B. not come from schoolmates but from parents
C. not come from parents and relatives but from friends
D. come from schoolmates, friends and even parents
37. American parents mainly spend money ________.
A. on their kids’ tuition and cost of dormitory
B. on their kids’ cost of traveling and holidays
C. on their kids’ tuition and buying them cars
D. in buying their kids cars and other personal things
38. According to the passage, heavier people would _______.
A. earn more money B. get respect on the job
C. be more likely to marry D. suffer from negative effects
39. How many females were surveyed about family assistance by the researchers?
A. About 379 B. About 265 C. About 190 D. About 114
B
Some people may say a hero is someone older than you, someone you personally know, someone who has done something everyone knows about, etc. I don’t think a hero necessarily has to be an older person or a close friend or family member. My hero is younger than me, but we are related. I have decided that I could name my hero. His name is Marcus. He is my cousin. He isn’t necessarily a wise person or someone who does something great everyday with his life, but he has taught me to appreciate some of the more simple things in life.
I am now in 11th grade. When I was in 8th grade, Marcus had a brain tumor(肿瘤)which had to be removed. Thankfully, the tumor was benign(良性的). When the doctors removed it, Marcus lost his sight. He looked down on life only once. Ever since then, he has been an extremely happy 2nd-grader. He is very typical of a nine-year-old. He likes to tell jokers, play new games, and he likes to play tricks on people. I love spending time with him. We go to movies whenever there is a good one and I look after him every chance I get.
I say that Marcus helps me to appreciate the more simple things in life. He doesn’t have his sight and that causes me to realize how lucky I am to be able to see, to walk, and to talk. I can do everything I want to. Writing that may make me a little hypocritical(虚伪的)，but I don’t care. If everyone could see how happy and fulfilled Marcus is and how much he fulfills everyone around him, then they might just be able to better appreciate simple things in life.
40. From the passage we can learn that the author has_________.
A. the same idea of a hero as others
B. a different idea of a hero from others
C. an idea that a hero must be old enough
D. an idea that a hero must be a close friend
41. When did Marcus have a brain tumor?
A. Three years ago. B. Six years ago. C. Eight years ago D. Nine years ago.
42. According to the passage, the author is about ______________.
A. two years younger than Marcus B. four years older than Marcus
C. six years younger than Marcus D. nine years older than Marcus
43. What makes the author appreciate simple things in life?
A. Marcus’ simple life. B. Marcus’ serious illness
C. Marcus’ blindness D. Marcus’ recovery.
C
It is difficult for doctors to help a person with a damaged brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors can' t fix the damage. Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.
Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.
Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he op erated on them. He made the monkeys' blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys' brains. When the brain' s tempera ture was 10°C, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.
44. The biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that _______.
A. the time is too short for doctors
B. the patients are often too nervous
C. the damage is extremely hard to fix
D. the blood-cooling machine might break down

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。
The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.
But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. 51 Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.
For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 52
If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. 53 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
54 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else. 55 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.
It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.
A. It’s natural that there some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.
B. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face.
C. Everyone was new to the network once.
D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.
E. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.
F. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.
G. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.

Dear Abby,
How are you? I’ve got a wonderful news to tell you I have offered a scholarship at a university in Australia for my further education. One hundred and twenty students took exam for it, but only a few were chosen and I was one of them. Therefore,
my parents, live in Beijing are not happy about it. They are strong against my going there. They say it is too far away that they will not see me for a whole year and they are afraid of I will feel lonely. They can’t imagine a girl so young live alone. They advise me to study in the capital instead. Then I’ll be able to continue living with them. How can I persuade them to accept the fact I have grown up?
Best Wishes,
Jane
