   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.
   There was a man playing the piano in a bar. He was a good piano player and always performed in this bar. People came in just to hear him play. But one night, a customer told him that he didn’t want to hear him just play the piano any more. He wanted him to sing a song.
   The man said, “I don’t sing.”
   But the customer was persistent (固执的). He told the bar manager, “I’m tired of listening to the piano. I want that man to sing!”
   The manager shouted across the room, “If you want to get paid, sing a song. Our customers are asking you to sing!”
   So he did. He sang a song. A piano player who had never sung in public did so for the first time. And everyone was surprised by his song — “Mona, Mona Lisa”. He got lots of applause (掌声) that night.
   He had such a talent for singing, but he just had been sitting on his talent for the past years! If without such a chance, he may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar. However, now he had become one of the best-known singers in America.
   You, too, have skills and abilities. Maybe your “talent” is not as great as the singer above, but it may be better than you think! And with effort, most skills can be improved. So, in your life, you should be brave enough to try doing different things and find out what talents you really have!
   21 Why did the man start to sing?
   1. Because he wanted to make more money.
   2. Because the bar manager said he liked his song.
   3. Because the manager asked him to sing at the request of a customer.
   4. Because he wanted to show everyone that he had a talent for singing.
      22. What do you think of the bar manager?
      1. Strict.B. Rude.C. Patient.D. Kind.
         23. What do the underlined words “he just had been sitting on his talent” probably mean?
         A. He didn’t discover his talent. B. He didn’t sing.
         C. He had no talent for singing. D. He hated to sing.
         B
         Winter is a very special time in Northern Norway. Winter also means skiing, and Narvik can offer some of the best skiing in Norway. The view and light change frequently and no two days are the same. For many people, the northern lights are an unforgettable sight, and in Narvik the sky is especially clear and great for watching at night.
         The tourist season lasts from February to April, although May can be fascinating too, often with fantastic dry snow and an unbelievable light lasting well into the evening.
         Ski hire
         It is possible for adults and children to hire skiing equipment such as snowboards. All equipment is prepared for us. If you would like to book your equipment, please email Narvikfjellet.
         Cross-country skiing
         There are 12 kilometers of cross country ski run in Narvik. You need to bring your own skis as there is no cross-country hire. However, equipment can be bought at local sports shops in and around Narvik.
         Off-piste skiing（非场地滑雪）
         In order to explore Narvik’s off-piste opportunities you need to know the dangers when choosing routes. It is suggested that you bring necessary equipment such as a shovel（雪铲）and a GPS locator. Ask Narvikfjellet for an experienced guide. With a guide you can explore Narvik’s special off-piste areas in a safe manner.
         Sometimes it is nice to do something different and not everybody enjoys skiing. Then you can go horse-riding, or visit the local museums.

            Homelessness is a huge problem all over the world. It’s said that each day there are about 1 million people living on the streets in the US. It is a serious problem which should be dealt with effectively.
            There are two main reasons for people leaving their homes: poverty and less affordable houses due to bad economic conditions. Other reasons include: domestic violence, divorce, and mental illness. Living without a home makes people main targets of violence activities and besides, these homeless people have to face the following difficulties on a daily basis.
            They have to move about, carrying their belongings, which makes it difficult for the charity and the government to help them. They have limited access to bathrooms and restrooms and are forced to live in dirty conditions, making them easy to be attacked by diseases. They have limited access to health-care facilities in case of emergency, and almost no access to education as they have no money. They are often ill-treated by society, which makes them unfriendly, often ending up being involved in activities connected with crime like selling drugs or guns.
            Homelessness is not something that happened overnight --- it has been in the country for decades. The society usually believes those living on the street to be mentally unstable. This belief is partially true. Most of them are normal people just like you and me.
            The federal government is doing all it can to help but it is not enough, so the ordinary citizens have to stand up and try to help whenever it’s possible. There are various organizations, such as charity organizations that are working constantly to make sure that homeless people find a shelter to live in. The united efforts have helped millions of people return to their normal lifestyle. However, there is still a long way to go before a better situation is created for all the homeless.
            28. How many reasons are mentioned for people having no home to live in?
            1. FiveB. FourC. ThreeD. Two
               29. The homeless are usually treated as __________.
               A. a danger to societyB. having mental problems
               C. physically disabled peopleD. being too lazy to do anything
               30. Which of the following are mentioned to help solve the problem of the homeless?
               ① the government ② homeless people ③ charity organizations ④ the ordinary citizens
               A. ①②③B. ①②④C. ①③④D. ②③④
               31. What can we learn from the passage?
               A. Most homeless people died of hunger and cold.
               B. The homeless should work hard to change their own situation.
               C. The homeless people have nothing to take when they move about.
               D. The homeless problem is a serious problem that need solving effectively.
               D
               There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
               People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, hurt many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
               Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people hurt many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
               32. People who are unhappy _______.
               A. always consider things differently from others
2. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things
3. usually misunderstand what others think or say
4. usually are affected by the results of certain things

33. The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “_______”.

1. makes others unhappy B. has a good taste with social life

C. tend to scold others openly D. enjoy the pleasure of life

34. We can conclude from the passage that _______.

1. we should pity all such unhappy people
2. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
3. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
4. unhappy people can not understand happy persons

35. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should _______.

1. show no respect and politeness to them
2. prevent any communication with them
3. persuade them to recognize the bad effects
4. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes

作文：Dear Peter,

I’m glad to receive your letter asking for my advice on how to learn Chinese well.

Here are a few suggestions.First,it is important to take a Chinese course,as you you’ll be able to learn from the teacher and practice with your fellow students.Then,it also helps to watch TV and read books,newspapers and magazines in Chinese whenever possible.

Besides, it should be a good idea to learn and sing Chinese songs,because by doing so you’ll learn and remember Chinese words more easily.You can also make more Chinese friends. They will tell you a lot about China and help you learn Chinese.

Try and write me in Chinese next time.

Best wishes!
