第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,共30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项;并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
When you are traveling, it’s vital to know about the customs and etiquette(礼仪,礼节)of the global village. What we consider polite behavior at home isn’t always accepted outside our borders.
学习啦在线学习网 ● Etiquette of Gift Giving
学习啦在线学习网 Gift giving should be a happy, positive experience. When selecting a present for someone in Netherlands, don’t purchase fancy kitchen knives or scissors. Giving sharp, pointy objects as gifts is considered unlucky. Be careful when presenting flowers to a friend or a business partner in Russia. Yellow blooms suggest cheat or a relationship break up. Traditionally, red carnations are placed on the tombs of the dead. Writing cards or notes while visiting South Korea, be mindful of your pen’s ink color. Writing a person’s name in red ink traditionally suggests that the person has passed away—an important point to remember when giving a birthday card.
● Eating Customs
Being early or on time is viewed as being rude, too eager or even greedy in Venezuela. If you are invited to someone’s home for a meal, it’s recommended that you arrive 10 minutes later than the requested time. When having a meal in Egypt, don’t use the salt shaker (盐瓶). It’s insulting to your host to spread salt on your food, which means that you find the meal terrible. Japan is a very polite nation, and their fondness for etiquette extends to the use of chopsticks. According to Japanese custom, if you’re in the middle of eating, use the opposite end of your chopsticks to secure food from a shared plate. When doing business in Turkey, it’s the custom for your host to pay for your meal. Requests to split the bill won’t be accepted. If you would like to pay your fair share, Turks recommend inviting your host to a follow-up meal.
21. Which of the following is tree according to the passage?
学习啦在线学习网 A. You can use blue ink to write notes to your friend from South Korea.
学习啦在线学习网 B. Giving a fancy kitchen knife to a friend from Russia is a good choice.
学习啦在线学习网 C. Dining with Japanese, one can use either end of the chopsticks to get food from shared
plates.
学习啦在线学习网 D. Invited to a meal, one should arrive earlier to show respect for the host.
22. What does the underlined word “insulting” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Respectful. B. Offensive C. Indifferent. D. Challenging.
学习啦在线学习网 23. where is this passage probably from?
学习啦在线学习网 A. A news report. B. A culture column. C. A travel essay. D. A food magazine.
B
I live in Hollywood. You may think people in such an attractive, fun—filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.
Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The troth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more long—lasting emotion. Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.学习啦在线学习网 I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant access to exciting parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells “happiness”. But in memoir(回忆录)after memoir, celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drag addiction, broken marriages, troubled children, and long—time loneliness. The way people hold on to the belief that a fun—filled, pain—free life equates happiness actually decreases their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness, then pain must be equated with unhappiness. But, in fact, the opposite is tree: More times than not, things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
As a result, many people avoid the very efforts that are the source of tree happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, charitable work and self—improvement.
学习啦在线学习网 24. According to the passage, “fun activities” ________.
学习啦在线学习网 A. are the things we do before we find happiness
B. may help us relax and forget our problems sometimes
C. will lead us to the tree happiness
D. could provide long—last positive effects
学习啦在线学习网 25. In the author’s opinion, those Hollywood stars ________.
A. possess happiness because they are rich and famous
B. experience almost all kinds of happy things
C. tell us happiness isn’t equal to fun using their own stories
学习啦在线学习网 D. have to suffer a lot before they become successful
26. It is difficult for people to find real happiness because ________.
A. they believe happiness is the fun life without pain
B. they find pain equals unhappiness
学习啦在线学习网 C. they fear to lose what they already have in life
学习啦在线学习网 D. they are afraid all their efforts were in vain
27. The main purpose of the text is to ________.
A. describe the difference between happiness and fun
B. show the true meaning of happiness
C. encourage people to pursue fun activities
D. advise people to find their real life
C
学习啦在线学习网 Tiny monitoring devices have become an increasingly common way for scientists to study elusive animals that are difficult to track on a day-to-day basis. However, now it seems that smart. seals have caught on to the trick and are using it to their advantage to catch fish!
To find out if that is true, a team of researchers from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland selected a group often young grey seals that had neither encountered the ocean nor been exposed to any kind of acoustic(声音的)tags. The researchers then placed the seals one at a time, inside a pool that contained 20 foraging boxes, only two of which housed fish — one with tags and the other without.
Each seal was allowed to explore the boxes twenty separate times. In order to ensure that mammal was not depending on its memory, the fish were moved to different boxes each time. At first, there was no difference in the amount of time it took the seals to discover the tagged and untagged fish. However, after they had been in the pool a few times, they started locating the tagged fish much faster.
To confirm that this indeed was the case, there searchers conducted a second experiment using two boxes — one with pieces of fish and the other with just acoustic tags. Sure enough, the seals were all attracted to the one that was sending out signals.
While this experiment involved only seals, the researchers believe that other marine mammals may also be using the information to catch prey. Sadly, predators like sharks that have been tagged by scientists may be negatively affected, as pings they emit could warn their prey of their presence. Besides potentially messing up nature’s food chain, the “dinner bell” effect of the acoustic tags could also mean that the conclusions reached by previous fish studies may not be correct. Now that the secret is out, scientists will have to come up with another way to conduct their studies — one that is not detectable by the crafty marine animals.
学习啦在线学习网 28. What does the underlined part “the trick” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Attaching tiny monitoring devices to sea animals.
B. Following the sound that fish make.
学习啦在线学习网 C. Tracking sea animals on a day-to-day basis.
D. Looking for ways to catch fish.
29. What is implied about the ten young grey seals?
A. They have acoustic tags attached to them.
B. They have better hearing than normal seals.
学习啦在线学习网 C. They have been trained to recognize acoustic tags.
学习啦在线学习网 D. They were not born in the ocean.
学习啦在线学习网 30. After doing the two experiments the researchers most probably concluded that ________.
A. it’s really easy for seals to find their prey
学习啦在线学习网 B. seals can be easily fooled by acoustic tags
学习啦在线学习网 C. seals are much cleverer than most of the other sea animals
D. seals can really make use of the acoustic signals to prey
31. The researchers seem to believe that sharks tagged by scientists ________.
A. may benefit from the tags B. may attract seals by mistake
C. may find it hard to find prey D. may be annoyed by the emitted pings
D

You don’t need it every single day, especially not this hot summer! You’ll be surprised that the more confident you are about showing the real side of you, the more attractive you will be to everyone else.

学习啦在线学习网 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个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。
学习啦在线学习网 Of the many unpleasant emotions we can experience, fear may top the list. 36 . Fear can also keep us from pursuing the things in life that really matter—like following our dreams, and developing important relationships. I have some ideas, though, of how to be free from fear.
●Experience fear.
I used to be very afraid of speaking in front of people. I would get sweaty palms and my stomach would be so tied up that I wouldn’t be able to eat. However, each time I spoke, I noticed afterwards that it wasn’t that bad. Things I fear are never as bad in reality as I make them out in my mind. 37 .学习啦在线学习网 ●Create space.
The first and most important step to being fearless is to create some space between ourselves and the emotion of fear. This isn’t accomplished by ignoring the fear, or trying to talk ourselves out of it. 38 . In fact, a recent research shows that by simply admitting the emotion we actually begin to reverse the “fight or flight(逃避)” response in the body.
学习啦在线学习网 ●Control the breath and feel the fear.
学习啦在线学习网 Once we acknowledge the presence of fear, the second step is to control the breathing so that it becomes slower and gentler. We try to make the breath just a little bit longer, and feel how fear manifests(展现)in the body. 39 .
With practice, we can create enough space between us and the emotion of fear so that we’re able to replace a fearful thought with a positive one. 40 . For instance, before I get up to speak in front of a group of people, I imagine that the audience is positively impressed by what I say and that I manage to complete the speech successfully.
A. We can imagine a positive outcome for whatever we’re about to do.
学习啦在线学习网 B. Space is created only when we can honestly acknowledge that fear exists.
C. Fear, if left uncontrolled, can even destroy our life.
学习啦在线学习网 D. As we pay attention to the physical symptoms of fear, we can see fear objectively.
E. When we can see a positive outcome in our mind, fear no longer holds us back.
学习啦在线学习网 F. But fear is more than just physically unpleasant.
学习啦在线学习网 G. So one way to get rid of fear is to simply push ourselves to do things that we fear

A Leap(跳跃)to Honor
Leaping on a narrow balance beam(平衡木)is not easy. But Lola Walter, a 13-year-old gymnast, is an expert at it.

She must use her sense of touch to help her during her routine. Sometimes she even closes her eyes. “You have to 50 your mind that it’ll take you where you want to go.“ says Lola.
To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably the most 51 for anyone because it’s four inches wide. At the state competition, Lola didn’t fall 52 the beam. In fact, she got an 8.1 out of 10 — her highest score yet.
