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

上将该项涂黑。

A

Art is everywhere in our lives. Every man-made object is

linked with art. Throughout history, humans have made articles

for a wide variety of purposes；generally for everyday practical

requirements. The style of practical objects reflects the outlook

and the spirit of the times in which they are made.

It seems that humans possess a natural urge to improve

constructed objects with decoration：sometimes for

beautification, sometimes for religious reasons, sometimes to

show off their wealth and power, and sometimes to tell a story.

Unnecessary decoration can ruin the form and perhaps the

function of an object, but when decoration is used with care, it

can beautify, produce variety, and add interest.

The first essential(要点)in every creation is that it should

properly fulfil its purpose；for instance, a teapot should pour

perfectly, a block of flats should be a pleasant place in which to

live, and a factory or commercial building should be a suitable

building in which to work.

The second essential is that an object should please the eye

with its form, line, proportion(比例), colour and texture(质地), and

it should be capable of inspiring the emotions. For example,

contemporary furniture designers must think of form, function

and structure, and have taken their lead from the outstanding

Scandinavian designs of Denmark, Finland and Sweden, whose

preference was for simple functional furniture to suit the

architectural environment of the day. Heavy furniture is no longer

desirable, and by contrast, modem furniture is often

characterized by its good proportion, pleasing lines, simple

fittings and attractive structures.

Motor vehicles are a perfect example of how design has

changed to suit function. Early car design was greatly influenced

by the horse-drawn carriage, but today we find functional design

satisfying every requirement of practical use and good

appearance. Designs in the 1980s and 1990s included

streamlining(流线型)to reduce wind resistance in fast-moving

vehicles, and, at the same time, satisfy an important art

principle——rhythm. But the cars of today, often half size of their

predecessors(前身), have taken the concept of industrial design

way beyond simple strength, comfort and beauty. They now

include safety and ecological characteristics, for example,

reduced fuel consumption, while at the same time satisfying the

need to be stylish, and appealing to the eye. For many people,

the 21st-century car represents the greatest work of art.

21. What point does the author make about decorating

objects?

A. It is something people would have always done.

B. It can show the object has a range of functions.

C. It always improves the appearance of an object.

D. It usually makes the objects more noticeable.

22. The author refers to the motor car to show ________.

A. humans have made great progress in art

B. the motor car has a longer history than many other art

objects

C. design should be appropriately changed according to

need

D. art form should raise concern about the environment

23. What is the best title for the text?

A. Form Follows Function

B. Life Is Art, Art Is Life

C. Art in Everyday Life

D. The Best Work of Art

B

You will go to college some day and college is one of the

most excit ing stages of one’s life. If you wish to make the most

of your campus(校园)experience and become a better person

after those four years, then first you ought to make friends. Close

friends contribute to yourself growth for they provide you with

moral support that is so important to surviving the stressful

college life. Friends can lend a helping hand when necessary like

collecting your homework when you’re too sick to leave your

dorm, and hel p you develop the right attitude by pointing out

to you your weaknesses.

Being home most of your life and then suddenly finding

yourself on your own in a large campus without your parents to

hold your hand can be annoying. However, rather than thinking

about your missing home too much, why not see this new stage

in your life as an opportunity for self growth and develop the

right attitude that will prepare you for the rigors of post-

graduation life, particularly when you join the workforce?

Special-interest clubs or organizations are great for self

growth. Here, not only do you get the opportunity to meet with

like-minded people, you can also discover more things about

your field of interest. Club meetings usually include lively

discussions, so go there with the right attitude. You should try to

build a good name in the organization by being respectful, active

and considerate to others.

You might not like all of your professors, but they are there

to provide knowledge you need to be successful in your chosen

field. Thus, show up for each class with the right attitude and

determination to learn. Whether you get along well with your

professors or

not has a huge effect on your self growth as it is a measure

of how well you can respect authority and obey requirements.

Actively participating in a class debate or lecture contributes

to your self growth as it helps you build confidence in speaking

up and improves your communication skills. It also helps you

develop the right attitude by exercising diplomacy(外交术)when

you choose your words carefully especially when discussing a

very politically sensitive issue(问题)and exercising patience when

dealing with classmates who shoot down your ideas.

24. In the author’s opinion, what can help college students

develop a right attitude?

A. Joining special-interest clubs.

B. Focusing on their studies.

C. Taking up part-time jobs.

D. Making friends with others.

25. The underlined word “rigors”in Paragraph 2 can be

replaced by ________.

A. reasons

B. difficulties

C. joys

D. effects

26. The author advises college students to ________.

A. be respectful at club meetings

B. debate with like-minded people to build confidence

C. choose words carefully in a club discussion

D. obey your professor to leave him with a good impression

27. The purpose of the text is to ________.

A. introduce how to show yourself in college

B. tell college students how to socialize with others

C. give college students some advice on self growth

D. explain the importance of four-year college life

C

Ashok Gadgil has spent the past three decades helping

people in need—and he has no plans to stop. On May 2, Gadgil

won the $100,000 Lemelson-MIT Award. Each year, the honor is

given to an inventor who has improved the lives of people in

developing countries. Gadgil’s inventions have helped mor e

than 100 million people around the world.

Gadgil is a professor and physicist at the University of

California, Berkeley. When he’s not teaching, he works to find

solutions to global problems such as energy efficiency(效率)and

water safety.“I chose to focus on problems where my knowledge

of science could help,”Gadgil said.

In the 1980s, he came up with a program to make energy-

efficient light bulbs more affordable for people in developing

countries. Then in the 1990s, Gadgil designed his first

life-saving invention, UV Waterworks. It kills deadly disease-

carrying germs(病菌)from drinking water. It costs just one cent to

clean five liters of water. Gadgil was inspired to find an

inexpensive solution to the clean water crisis after more than 10,

000 people in his home country of India died from an outbreak

of Bengal cholera(霍乱), in 1993. The disease is spread through

polluted food and drinking water.

So far, the invention has provided safe drinking water to

more than 5 million people in India, Liberia, Nigeria, the

Philippines and Ghana.

Families in refugee(难民)camps in Sudan are given food aid.

But they still have to cook the meals. In order to do so, refugee

women leave the safety of the camps three to five times a week

to gather firewood. They walk up to seven hours a day to find

enough wood to fuel their stoves. Cooking over an open flame

can be dangerous to one’s health and to the environment, too,

because of the amount of smoke it produces. Gadgil visited the

area many times with his students and his co-workers to work

with the refugee women on designing a clean, fuel-efficient stove.

The Berkeley-Darfur Stove he created saves 55％ of fuel. That

means the women wouldn’t have to leave the houses to find

firewood as often. The invention also helps to save homes more

than $300 a year. About 125, 000 women and their families have

been helped.

As a professor, Gadgil encourages his students to stay

positive about finding solutions to hard problems.“Be optimistic

when you try a hard problem,”he says.“It’s when you solv e a

large problem that you can have a powerful effect on the world.”

28. Gadgil was given Lemelson-MIT Award for ________ .

A. his teaching experience

B. his new research report

C. his vast kno wledge

D. his helpful inventions

29. Which of the following is TRUE of the Berkeley-Darfur

Stove?

A. It takes women 7 hours to fuel.

B. It still needs the same firewood as before.

C. It is clean and money-saving.

D. It is equipped with a fire alarm.

30. According to the last paragraph, Gadgil encourages his

students ________.

A. to learn lessons from failures

B. to find problems in peaceful life

C. to make inventions to help poor people

D. to be confident when facing difficulties

31. Which of the following can best describe Gadgil?

A. Caring and optimistic.

B. Powerful and positive.

C. Independent and sensitive.

D. Responsible and strict.

D

“Hi, howareya, ”some people say when they see a familiar

face. The words run together i nto a mass, all sense and meaning

lost. All the same, people do care how you are. After they greet

you, it’s likely you will greet them back, with an equally

meaningless phrase like, “Can’t complain, can’t

complain.”You could probably complain, at length, or share a

brilliant thought you were just beginning when a gree ting

interrupted you. You don’t though, you say,“Great, you?”

You are not giving each other information about your health

and well-being. All the same, you are sharing information.

You’re acknowledging each other’s positions as

acknowledged friends, or at least as accepted acquaintances.

And you are reestablishing the ties that may have lapsed(偏

离)since yesterday.

It’s what anthropologist(人类学家)Bronislaw Malinoski

called a phatic(交流感情的)communication. Its message is not in

the words you use, but in the fact that you speak ritually(仪式上

地)accepted words. In Asia, for example, people may ask one

another if they have eaten, or if they are busy. They’re not really

asking for their lunch menu or their agenda, they are saying hello.

A phatic signal says hi.

There’s e mbarrassment of being near people without

acknowledging them. That uncomfortable feeling is one reason

why lonely passengers in the subway may behave as if they

cannot see anyone around them or may escape their

uncomfortable situation with a book. Some people read all the

way home, and never turn a page.

Your friend isn’t asking how you are, and you aren’t telling

him. However, he is recognizing your existence, and when you

answer, you are recognizing his. In addition, the set speech you

have shared opens the door to closer communications if both

agree. Someday, you may come to real close friendship, and

really tell one another how you are.

Meanwhile, people who greet one another this way do care.

They care enough to recognize someone’s essential (必不可少

的)humanity. They send a signal across the space between, to

share, very briefly and lightly, in awareness of one another.

Your greetings prove that neither of you has become a social

outcast. How are you? You are still a member of society in good

status. You are still the one who knows the rituals necessary to

get to work each day.

32. According to Bronislaw Malinoski,a phatic

communication _______.

A. is rarely used by Asian people

B. is too complex to be used often

C. helps establish or keep certain relationships

D. often ruins the normal relationships between friends or

acquaintances

33. Some people seldom greet strangers because ________.

A. they want to be polite to others

B. they feel uncomfortable to do it

C. they don’t know when to greet them

D. they want to do something meaningful

34. The underlined word “outcast” in the last paragraph

probably means _______.

A. a person who is well-educated

B. a person who succeeds suddenly

C. a person who is a burden to society

D. a person who is not accepted by others

35. What does the text mainly tell us?

A. Greetings should be better expressed.

B. Greetings convey different meanings to different people.

C. Greetings help prove an individual’s social independence.

D. Greetings help an individual be connected with the society.

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 undersea world is very beautiful, 36 Scuba diving(戴水肺

器潜水)is a new sport today. It can take you into a wonderful

undersea world.

37 . Some are as large as a school bus. Many sea animals give

out light in the dark and some have sharp teeth.

During the day, there is enough light. Here, under the sea,

everything is blue and green. When fish swim nearby, you can

catch them with your hands. When you have a bottle of air

on your back, you can stay in deep water for a long time. 38

And you must be very careful when you dive in deep water. The

deep sea is not an easy place to live in. It’s cold, and it’s dark,

too. 39 . At about 3,000 feet, there is no light at all. It is dark in

the sea. Many fish have no eyes. Some have big eyes. A few have

eyes on one side.

Besides the cold and the darkness, deep-sea animals face the

third danger — other animals. Animals must eat! They must find

food to cat. Many animals eat plants. 40 This means these sea

animals have two big jobs. They need to find animals as food,

and they have to try not to become other animal’s meal.

A. The deeper it is, the less sunlight there is

B. You can dive freely in the water without any danger

C. Many animals can find their ways by hearing and feeling

D. However, you can’t dive too deep

E. You will find many strange animals in the sea

F. However, some animals eat meat

G. Now more and more people want to dive in the water to

find the secrets there

everyone was involved. In one game, with the score tied and time

63 ball but my son was in his way. Somehow, when they met,

the result was that the star player 64 (fall) on the ground and my

His coach jumped up and down 66 (yell) “go” and most of the

parents yelled for victory. When my son kicked the ball several

yards towards the goal, he 67 (sudden) stopped and went back

to the star player, helping him get up. When we all got

Dear Li Xiao,

I'm glad to hear that you want to study abroad in your letter.

Here is what I know about what kind of Chinese students are

favored in foreign colleges and universities.

As far as I know, the language ability is essential, which helps

you communicate with others and makes it easier for you to

understand the courses. Besides, you should have the ability to

adapt quickly to the new environment. What's more, your interest

is valued as well, for it has a lot to do with success. Last but not

least, those who are willing to shoulder social responsibility are

especially respected and welcome.

This is some of my advice, and I hope it can be of some help

to you. May you succeed! Best wishes and good luck.

Yours,

Jack
