第二部分 阅读理解
此部分共有2篇短文，每篇短文后有5个问题，每个问题后有4个选项，请你从A, B, C, D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
My friend Mike was shaking his head in disbelief. \"That young woman who just waited on me,\" he said, pointing to an employee of the fast food restaurant where we
were eating, \"had to call someone over to help her count change. The cash register (现金出纳机) showed her I needed 99 cents, but she couldn't figure out how to count out the coins.\" I understood Mike's concern. What we have done in this country, although unintentionally, is to create several generations of individuals most of whom have no idea how to reason; how to do simple math; how to do research; or, finally, how to be creative (有创造力的). The reason for this is our overuse of information technology: video games, television, digital watches, calculators, and computers. Information technology feeds us information without requiring us to think about it and let us perform operations without understanding them.
It is time we took a hard look at an educational system that only teaches our children how to push buttons. Our kids can't tell time if the clock has hands. They can use calculators, but cannot add, subtract, divide, or multiply. Video games have taken the place of active, imaginative play. Although most of them are technically literate, they choose not to read. They are so used to television and movies that they cannot use their imagination to stay interested in a book.
It is not enough to recognize that a problem exists. What we need is a solution. The one I offer is simple to suggest, but may be impossible to carry out. We must unplug our children. If we don't, they will never learn how to solve problems. They will never learn even basic reasoning skills and will certainly not develop creativity. Instead of filling classrooms with electronics, let's concentrate on good old-fashioned literacy ― reading books. Students must be taught not to perform computer operations by rote (死记), but to figure and reason for themselves. They must see how things work and how processes lead to results, they must also stretch their imagination.
6. What is the problem with the employee of the fast food restaurant? A. She does not know how to operate the cash register. B. She is unable to solve simple math problems. C. She lacks coins for customers. D. She does not know how to count coins. 正确答案：B
题目解析：细节推断题。从第一段中“…she couldn't figure out how to count out the coins…”（她不能解决如何去点硬币的数目的问题）可以推断出她不能解决好简单的数学问题，所以正确答案为B“她不能解决简单的数学问题”。
7. What is Mike's concern?
A. People now rely too much on information technology. B. Many restaurants now do not provide good service. C. Modern technology feeds us too much information. D. We are creating people who can. 正确答案：D
题目解析：推断题。第一段中都在说借助电子工具不去自己思考，在最后一段里也提到了“Students must be taught not to perform computer operations by rote (死记), but to figure and reason for themselves.”（学生们必须被教导不要通过运用电脑程序去死记，而要去独自思考和得出结论）所以只有D准确,正确答案为D“我们正在创造那些不能独自思考的人”。
8. For children to be interested in reading, they must _____. A. have an imaginative mind
B. be given the right books
C. turn off their television sets D. have a large enough vocabulary 正确答案：A
题目解析：细节推断题。从第二段最后一句“They are so used to television and movies that they cannot use their imagination to stay interested in a book.”（孩子们对电视和电影是如此的依赖，以至于他们不能运用他们自己的想象力去对读物感兴趣）可以推断出来正确答案为A“由于孩子们对阅读感兴趣，他们一定具有富有想象力的思维”。
9. What solution does the author suggest to our children's problem? A. Get them off TV and computer games. B. Turn off all electronic equipment at school. C. Teach them how to learn from video games. D. Give them freedom in the use of computers. 正确答案：A
题目解析：细节推理题。从第二段中第三句“Video games have taken the place of active, imaginative play.”（电子游戏占据了活跃想象游戏的太多空间）可以推理出作者建议让孩子们远离电视和电脑游戏，所以正确答案为A“让孩子们远离电视和电脑游戏”。
10.We can see from the passage that the author believes _____. A. information technology is being overused
B. modern technology helps us to do things we don't even understand C. reading benefits children more than anything else D. electronics has no place in the classroom 正确答案：C
题目解析：细节推断题。在最后一段中“let's concentrate on good old-fashioned literacy – reading books.”（让我们把注意力集中在那些老式的好的文学读物上来吧）可以推断出作者的用意，所以正确答案为C“我们从这篇文章里看出来，作者认为阅读对于孩子们来说比任何其他事情都有益”。
Even the newest gardener realizes that plants die without water; what is not so well known is that plants die equally decisively, though not so quickly, if they are overwatered(浇水过多). Beginners usually decide to play it safe and keep their potted(盆栽的) plants thoroughly wet. In consequence, death by drowning is one of the commonest disasters to befall (降临)the plants of a new horticulturist. Plants wither (枯萎)away if they don't get enough water, and this draws attention to their problem. A plant that has been slightly underwatered so that it droops strikes terror into the heart of its new owner. But it will, in fact, recover completely as long as rescue comes in time and the process is not repeated too often. Overwatered plants, unfortunately, do not give any such obvious signal; slowly they cease to thrive and the first visible indication of serious trouble is a yellowing of the lower leaves. Unless the overwatered pot soil is given a considerable period without water, during which time the plant will continue to look wretched, it will suddenly collapse in exactly the same way as the underwatered plant―but with no chance of being revived because the roots have rotted away.

13. According to the text, which of the following plants might die without recovery?
A. Plants with their lower leaves yellowing. C. Underwatered plants. 正确答案：B
题目解析：由文章可以看出讲的是关于植物浇水过多的问题，并没有提到虫的问题，排除答案D，答案A是浇水过多的表现，也排除，由“Overwatered plants, unfortunately, do not give any such obvious signal; slowly they cease to thrive and the first visible indication of serious trouble is a yellowing of the lower leaves”可以看出浇水过多会逐渐使植物死掉而且表现不明显，正确答案选B。
14. A withered plant might be rescued because _____. A. it doesn't alive B. it is repeatedly overwatered C. it gives visible signal of dying D. it dies slowly
B. Overwatered plants.

Do you know who Benjamin Banneker was and what he did?Benjamin Banneker was a self-educated scientist at a time when most African Americans were slaves. Born a free black man in the British Colony of Maryland in 1731, he received some formal education, but he mostly borrowed books and taught himself science and mathematics. At 22, he borrowed a pocket watch, and without any training, figured out how to carve a working wooden clock that chimed each hour. Because of this clock, he became well known and people would visit him just to see his creation.
Banneker ran his family farm for many years, but when he was in his late 50s, a neighbor's son lent him a telescope. He became interested in astronomy, the study of the planets and stars, and again taught himself a new science. He made calculations of tides, sunrises and sunsets, and even predicted an eclipse.

Early in the 16th century men were trying to reach Asia by traveling west from Europe . In order to find Asia they had to find a way past South America . The man who eventually found the way from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific was Ferdinand Magellan.

Fourteen months later, after spending the severe winter on the coast of Patagonia(巴塔哥尼亚), he discovered the channel which is now called Magellan's Strait. In November 1520, after many months of dangers from rocks and storms, the three remaining ships entered the ocean on the other side of South America . They then continued, hoping to reach Asia . But they did not see any land until they reached the islands off the coast of Asia . Before they arrived at these islands, later known as the Philippines , men were dying of starvation. While they were staying in the Philippines , Magellan was killed in battles. The remaining officers then had to get back to Spain . They decided to sail round Africa .

第二部分 阅读理解
此部分共有2篇短文，每篇短文后有5个问题，每个问题后有4个选项，请你从A, B, C, D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
I worked as a manager in a company for a number of years. I liked my job, and was doing well there, but our company was bought by a larger company and most of the managers at our place lost their jobs. That was when I decided to do something I'd always wanted to do ― become a freelance (自由撰稿的) writer. Changing professions (职业) has meant that my lifestyle has changed in a number of ways.
The main difference for me now is that I have a much more flexible (灵活的) schedule. I work about as much as I did before ― between 45 and 50 hours a week ― but my schedule is much less rigid than it used to be. Before, I worked from 8 to 5 every day, with a few extra hours on weekends. Now, however, I work when I feel like it. For instance, sometimes I work until midnight or 2 A .M., then sleep until noon. I really prefer this kind of schedule. It seems more natural to me. I also decided that it was about time I began to pay more attention to my health. While I was working as a manager, I never exercised. I already felt tired after
work, so I just came home in the evening and watched TV. However, last year I joined a health club and began to do regular exercise. As a result I have lost over 10 pounds and I feel much better. I've also started to eat more healthfully. I used to eat a lot of fast food, but now I do my own shopping. I buy lots of fruits and vegetables and cook them at home.
Of course, not all the changes have been that easy. For example, I don't feel as secure financially as I used to. When I was working as a manager, I never worried much about money. I could always count on getting my paycheck every two weeks. Working freelance, I don't have a regular paycheck. So now I have to make sure there's enough money until the next check arrives.
All in all, I really like my current lifestyle. Of course, that doesn't mean I'll never want to have a \"regular\" job. But for now, at least, it suits me.
6. Why did the author decide to become a freelance writer? A. He had always liked writing. B.
C. He never liked his job as a manager. D. He wanted to change his lifestyle. 正确答案：A
题目解析：细节题。A“他喜欢写作”B“他不满意现在的公司”C“作为管理者他从来没有喜欢过他的工作”D“他想要改变他的生活方式”，从第一段“I'd always wanted to do – become a freelance (自由撰稿的) writer.”（我总是想去做——成为一个自由撰稿作家）可以看出，B、C、D和原文意思相违背，所以只有A“他总是喜欢写作”正确。
7. What is the main difference the job change brought to the author? A. He works fewer hours a week. B. nds.
C. He can change his schedule as he likes. D. He can work at night and sleep late. 正确答案：C

B. he is not going to change his lifestyle in the near future C. he will continue to write for the rest of his life
D. he will soon find out whether writing is a good career for him 正确答案：B
题目解析：细节题。从最后一段可以看出“…I really like my current lifestyle …But for now, at least, it suits me.”（我真的喜欢当前的生活方式……至少到现在，这种方式是适合我的），只有B“在近阶段，他将不会去改变他的生活方式”符合原文，所以正确答案为B。
All the customs, beliefs, values, knowledge and skills that guide a people's behavior along sharing paths are part of their culture. People throughout the world
have different cultures. Therefore their standards for behavior often differ. We tend to assume that certain behaviors have pretty much the same meaning around the world and we anticipate that other people will act as we do. But this is clearly not the case. When we are in a different culture, we may find ourselves in situations for which we are unprepared.
Not surprisingly, interaction among people of different cultures is often filled with uncertainties and even difficulties. Take the matter of the \"language space very close to other people, close enough to breathe on them. When Arabs do not breathe on a person, it means that they are ashamed. But Americans insist on staying outside the range of other people's breath, viewing the odor as distasteful. Americans typically back away as an Arab comes close, and the Arab follows. For example, an Arab business representative may not trust an American who backs off. On the other hand, the American may distrust the Arab for seeming so pushy.

A. customs. B.

13. If we are in a different culture, we may _____. A. notice that foreigners behave differently from us B. behave differently from when we are in our native country C. have no difficulty in understanding people D. change our behaviors 正确答案：A
题目解析：由句子“we may find ourselves in situations for which we are unprepared.” 可以看出我们处在不同的风俗中会发现自己无所适从，正确答案选A。
14. According to the passage \"language space\" means _____. A. Arabs tend to get close to other people
B. Americans tend to stand outside the range of other people
C. the distance between two speakers when they talk with each other D. the space between two foreigners when they talk 正确答案：C

The purpose of this part of the book is to help you become more efficient in reading by speeding up the process generally. Most people can learn to cover material much faster than they do now while maintaining a high level of comprehension. Improvement in reading efficiency has several major benefits. We need reading skills to benefit from the wealth of information that is now available in printed form. Most people get the rough outlines of their daily news from television and radio. However, the printed word still provides the in-depth coverage of topics that really produces well-informed people. Reading is also a great source of entertainment for many people. For students, it is the primary method of studying. The time you now spend reading can be made much more productive by increasing your reading rate. For some people this will mean that they can obtain more information in the same length of time. For others it will mean that time now devoted to reading can be used in other more interesting and profitable ways.
To determine how fast you are reading, you first have to get some idea of the number of words in a given passage. Then you simply divide the number of words by t
he number of minutes it takes to read. That will give your rate in words per minute.

A symbol is something that is used to represent something else. Numbers, letters, and words are all symbols that show ideas.
The easiest symbols to understand are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. We can put these 10 symbols together in different ways to make every possible number. All people on earth understand the ideas shown by these mathematical symbols. In fact, scientists think that if we meet living things from space, we will use mathematical symbols to try to talk to them.
Letters are symbols we can use to write a sound. We put letters together to make words. Words are symbols, too. For example, we want to write the idea of something that is living. It is made of wood, and it has leaves. We use the word tree. Other languages use different words to make their symbols tree.
The Egyptians made one of the earliest forms of writing called hieroglyphics. They used pictures to represent people and stories. We can still see examples of hieroglyphics in museums. They are very difficult for us to read.
Europeans began to use picture symbols on road signs about 50 years ago. People speak many different languages in Europe , but they can drive in all European countries because of the picture symbols in the road signs.
11. All the following are symbols except _____. A. letters B.
trees
C. numbers D. words 正确答案：B

D. People speaking different languages can read road signs. 正确答案：B

此部分共有2篇短文，每篇短文后有5个问题，每个问题后有4个选项，请你从A, B, C, D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Can animals be made to work for us? Some scientists think that one day animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs that are now done by human beings. They point out that at a circus, for example, we may see elephants, monkeys, dogs and other animals doing quite skillful things. Perhaps you have seen them on the television or in a film. If you watch closely, you may notice that the trainer always gives the animal a piece of candy or a piece of fruit as a reward. The scientists say that many different animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs if they know they will get a reward for doing them.
Of course, as we know, dogs can be used to guard a house, and soldiers in both old and modern times have used geese to give warning by making a lot of noise when a stranger or an enemy comes near. But it may be possible to train animals to work in factories. In Russian, for example, pigeons, which are birds with good eyesight, are being used to watch out for faults in small steel balls that are being mad
e in one factory. When the pigeon sees a ball which looks different from others, it touches a steel plate with its beak. This turns on a light to warn people in the factory. At the same time a few seeds are given as a reward. It takes three to five weeks to train a pigeon to this and one pigeon can inspect 3,000 to 4,000 balls an hour.
Apes have been used in America in helping to make cars, and scientists believe that these large monkeys may be one day gather crops and even drive trains.
6. What made scientists think animals can be made to work for us one day? A. Animals are very skillful at a circus. B. They are big and strong.

题目解析：细节推断题。从第二段倒数第二句可以看出“…the trainer always gives the animal a piece of candy or a piece of fruit as a reward.”（训练员总会给那些动物一块糖果或者一块水果作为奖励），所以可以推断出正确答案为D“训练员通常在动物完成规定动作之后给它们一块糖果或者水果”。
8. The \"reward\" in the passage means _____.
A. an honour given for doing something B. money paid for doing something

A. who their trainers are B. They will be praised by their trainers
C. They will get a reward D. something dangerous will happen to them 正确答案：C

10. Which of the following is not true?

In the United States elementary education begins at the age of six. At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, mostly married. The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the importan
t thing is to make the children happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited (不被认可) rather a long time ago ― so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than giving them actual instruction.
The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on co-operation rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education. Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails. It probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.

13. The author's attitude towards American education can be best described as _____.
A. favorable B. negative C. tolerant D. unfriendly 正确答案：A
题目解析： favorable支持；negative否定的；tolerant容忍的；unfriendly不友好，从全文来看，作者比较支持新的教育方法，正确答案选A。
14. The American educational system emphasizes _____. A. material wealth B. C. co-operation D. 正确答案：C
题目解析：由原文“So the emphasis is on co-operation rather than competition throughout most of this process”可以看出在教育的重点上合作比竞争重要，正确答案选C。
15. The word \"sociable\" (Line 8, Paragraph 2) most probably means _____. A. fond of talking freely B. friendly with other people C. concerned about social welfare D. happy at school 正确答案：B
