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 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Many college students want to look for seasonal, short-term or part-time jobs to get extra cash,
to stay busy or to get working experience.
Lifeguard
The job is a great opportunity to build your fitness, keep people safe and be outdoors to enjoy
some fun on the beach in the sun. The average hourly wage for lifeguards is $ 9.31, but those with
certifications or previous experience may be able to earn a bit more.
Nanny (保姆)
Students can find plenty of positions as parents scramble (争抢)to arrange activities and find
care for their children. Students who enjoy spending time with kids, staying active and being
outdoors can spend their leisure time making money without even feeling like they're working.
Nannies make $ 14.56 per hour.
Camp Consultant
Students who enjoy spending their time with children, being a leader and monitoring fun
outdoor activities are perfect for camp consultant positions. The average hourly wage for camp
consultants is $ 9.28, but those with many years' experience or specific academic backgrounds may
be able to earn more.
Food Server
Although it may not seem like the most attractive way to spend a weekend, working as wait
staff allows students to build up their social skills, stay active, enjoy free meals at work and possibly
educate themselves about different cuisines. However, food servers need to be on their feet for hours
at a time and must be able to multi-task like professionals, so take this into account before
submitting an application. The average salary is $ 9.00 hourly, but tips can raise that number.
21. Who are the two jobs nanny and camp consultant most fit for?
A. Students who want to develop their social skills.
B. Students who love staying with children.
C. Students who love travelling.
D. Students who love camping.

C. Long standing time at work. D. Skill in getting tips from customers.
23. What job can you do if you're good at swimming?
A. A lifeguard. B. A nanny. C. A camp consultant. D. A food server.

Najib is an Afghan who grew up in Iran. He led a tough life. When he found his children would
be in the same situation, his family initially returned to Afghanistan. But with the country filled with
conflicts, they decided to leave for Indonesia.
"When we first came here, we were in a bad situation. Its language, culture and even weather
were different. We had moved away from friends and family," says Najib. "I was in a tough position
but I acted strong because there were no other choices."
Refugees (难民)cannot work in Indonesia and there are limited choices for refugee children to
attend local schools. Determined to avoid such a fate, a group of refugees in Puncak took action and
scraped together (东拼西凑)their resources to set up a school-the Refugee Learning Center (RLC).
"Our only goal and task is to provide basic education, and prepare the refugee children for their
future," says Abdullah Sarwari. "We're also trying to provide a normal life as much as possible for
them."
The RLC has also started offering Bahasa Indonesia classes to the refugee community.
"Between the refugee and the local community, I feel like there's a language barrier which stops the
refugee from having an honest and open interaction with Indonesians," says Abdullah.
"If you try your best to learn the language of a particular place or country, it really helps make
things easier," says Najib. He is among those who signed up for classes, although he admits progress
has been slow. But life has improved in some ways for him and his family.
Najib says, "The centre is an opportunity for refugees to show that they are not a burden. If they
have the opportunity, they can accomplish big and great things like this."
24. Why did Najib decide to leave for Indonesia?
A. To escape the conflict in Afghanistan. B. To experience Indonesian culture.
C. To help refugees in Indonesia. D. To get equal rights to vote.
25. What's the main purpose of founding the RLC for refugee children?
A. To help them learn English.
B. To make them stay away from bad luck.
C. To provide them with chances to live in Indonesia.
D. To make them have access to receiving basic education.
26. What can we learn about Najib according to the text?
A. He is the leader of refugees. B. He founded the RLC himself.
C. He studies Indonesian in the RLC. D. He lives a wealthy life in Indonesia.
27. What's the best title for this text?
A. The Goal of Founding a School B. A School for Refugees by Refugees
C. A Reason for Leaving for Indonesia D. The Benefit of Learning a New Language
C
Do you look down when you speak? Play with your hair? Lean to one side? Every last gesture
tells a story. What you are saying to others is not only reflected in the words coming from your
mouth, but also through the gestures and motions you make with your body. Kristin Appenbrink,
Associate Editor for RealSimple.com, shows what your body language is saying about you.
Standing with your legs together is considered more of a conservative stance (站姿). It looks
like a soldier facing his officer. This way of standing usually indicates respect.
The way you move your body reflects your attitude. And shifting your weight from side to side
or front to back indicates that you are anxious or disappointed. Basically, this is a physical
representation of what is going on in your head: you are having so many unsettling thoughts that you
can't stop moving from one to the other.
Crossing your arms and legs is a defensive position. Take note of the surroundings. More often
than not, this just means a person is cold. Many people also find this position to be comfortable.
Pointing toes (脚趾)in. big toe to big toe, indicates you are closing yourself off because you feel
awkward or insecure. But, if you're sitting up straight with your shoulders aligned (对齐的)and your
head up-signs of an open body position-your feet may be betraying you.
Opening up your hands by spreading your hands means you are open to new ideas being
offered. Facing your palms down or grasping your fists firmly shows you have a strong position-one
that may not be so flexible.
28. Which of the following does Kristin Appenbrink probably agree with?
A. Body language will replace spoken language.
B. Standing with arms crossing indicates respect.
C. Body language can expresses what we want to say.
D. Our bodies' motions are different from our gestures.
29. What technique of writing is mainly used in the text?
A. Making comparisons. B. Analysing causes.
C. Raising questions. D. Giving examples.
30. What does the underlined word “unsettling" mean in paragraph 3?
A. Satisfying. B. Upsetting. C. Doubtful. D. Unconscious.
31. What does one show if he points his toes in, big toe to big toe?
A. He feels embarrassed and unsafe. B. He thinks someone has betrayed him.
C. He feels like hiding something from others. D. He's willing to accept new ideas from others.
D
Fear of the contagion (传染病)has restricted air travel and people are questioning the safety of
traveling on ships for pleasure. But one expert says people could effectively protect themselves and
others from the infectious virus by doing one simple thing: washing their hands.
Christos Nicolaides, a physicist, works with computer models that simulate (模拟)the spread of
disease. "The air transportation network is the main pathway for a global disease spread," Nicolaides
said. To understand this, think of all the things you and others handle at an airport. When people
cough or sneeze, very small drops of mucus ( 黏液)By through the air. They land on surfaces of
things that other people handle.
Nicolaides led a study which found that if you want to slow the infection of a disease, focus on
hand-washing. He said researchers tried to find the rate of hand-washing around the world. Earlier
studies showed that 70 percent of people wash their hands after using a toilet, but only about seven
percent do it correctly.
Nicolaides said, "You should wash your hands with soap and water for at least 15 seconds. My
researchers studied this, and we found out that if you visit an airport any time in the world, you will
realize that only one fifth people have clean hands."
Nicolaides then studied "super-spreader" airports. He said, "A 'super-spreader' airport is an
airport that combines two qualities. The first one is that it has a lot of traffic and a lot of people. And
the other one is that it is connected to many other airports with many other international flights.
These airports are very busy. such as the John F. Kennedy airport in New York. Los Angeles
International."
Nicolaides said that if 60 percent of travelers had clean hands, the possibility of slowing a
global disease would rise by 69 percent. But even if just 30 percent of travelers had clean hands, the
spread of disease could drop by 24 percent. He said. "Educating the public is the most important."
32. What kind of effect does the contagion have?
A. Flights and ships are totally canceled.
B. Travelling costs are greatly increased.
C. People worry about the safety of travelling.
D. The development of world economy is stopped.
33. What is the main cause of the global spread of the disease?
A. People touch public facilities with virus while traveling.
B. The government takes little notice of the disease.
C. The government fails to control the disease.
D. People are unaware of their sickness.
34. What can we infer from earlier studies in the text?
A. 30% of people don't wash their hands.
B. Most people have visited "super-spreader" airports.
C. Visiting airports increases the risk of infecting diseases.
D. Few people realize right ways of washing hands after using a toilet.
35. What's the main idea of this text?
A. Experts find correct ways to wash hands.
B. Washing hands helps stop spreading contagions.
C. Contagions have caused researchers' great concern.
D. Travelling by plane increases risks of spreading disease.

Landmark structures that were built to stand the test of time were usually carefully protected
over the years, allowing them to appear close to the same as they were constructed. However, many
famous landmarks no longer look the same. 36
The Golden Gate Bridge is one of America's most famous landmarks and it's a wonder of
modern bridge engineering. Chicago engineer Joseph Strauss designed the structure that took more
than four years to complete. 37 Then, the Golden Gate Bridge had the longest suspended
bridge span(跨度)in the world.
In the city that never sleeps, Times Square is a busy collection of Broadway theaters, cinemas,
restaurants and electronic billboards. 38 Over the past century. Times Square has undergone
numerous adjustments, including a difficult period after the Great Depression. However, it has
survived and is a popular tourist destination today.
39 The stone structure sits near the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt and depicts a
mythical creature with a human head and the body of a lion. Although the precise age is not known,
the colorless sculpture shows the impact that centuries of desert weather have faded the majestic(雄
伟的)figure. 40

Weddings in Canada have become so complicated that their planning and organization are now
a multi-billion dollar industry. 61 (survey) have shown that the average Canadian couple will
spend upwards of $ 30,000 on their special day, while wedding guests will spend close to $ 700 each
on gifts, special clothes, 62 other related expenses.
To briefly summarize, most Canadians generally get married in a church or banquet (宴 会)hall
before about a hundred or so close friends and family members. The bride will 63 (typical)
wear a beautiful white wedding dress 64 (purchase) especially for the ceremony, while
everyone else will wear their finest formal clothes. Once all the close friends and family members
get together, a legally-certified wedding host, usually a religious 65 (lead) or judge, will
publicly lead the bride and bridegroom through special wedding vows (宣誓), 66 express loyalty
to one another, and then will declare they are officially married. The event will then usually
conclude with an impressive, but 67 (relax) wedding reception, dinner, or after-party.
In practice almost every detail of a typical Canadian wedding, from flowers to music to seating
arrangements, is governed by 68 (many) rules and traditions than could possibly be
summarized here. Though such wedding ceremonies are broadly inspired by European-Christian
customs, particularly British custom, North American weddings these days are often said to have
gradually developed to exist 69 a world of unique traditions of their own.
Canadians from non-Christian or non-European backgrounds often have unique wedding cus-
toms, though these 70 (mix) with North American ones.
