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) 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选

A

When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn't take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.

Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note—"Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery" —and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically(魔术般) appear.

All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn't freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.

There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.

Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch(门廊). Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.

21. Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer ________.

A. to show his magical power B. to pay for the delivery

C. to satisfy his curiosity D. to please his mother

22. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy's house?

A. He wanted to have tea there. B. He was a respectable person.

C. He was treated as a family member. D. He was fully trusted by the family.

23. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?

A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now. B. It has been driven out of the market.

C. Its service is getting poor. D. It is forbidden by law.

24. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?

A. He missed the good old days. B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.

C. He needed it for his milk bottles. D. He planted flowers in it.

B

One day when I was 12,my mother gave me an order:I was to walk to the public library,and borrow at least one book for the summer.This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem—inability to read.

In the library,I found my way into the “Children’s Room.”The cover of a book caught my eye.It presented a picture of a beagle.I had recently had a beagle,the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child.But one morning,he was gone,given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him.I never forgot my beagle.

There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical(相同的)to my dog.My eyes ran across the title,Amos,the Beagle with a Plan.Unknowingly,I had read the title.Without opening the book,I borrowed it from the library for the summer.

I started to read about Amos.I read very,very slowly with difficulty.Though pages were turned slowly,I got the main idea of the story about a dog who,like mine,had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home.That dog was my dog,and I was the little boy in the book.My mother’s call returned me to the real world.I suddenly realized something:I had read a book,and I had loved reading that book.Everyone knew I could not read.But I had read it.Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.

Years later,my mother was proud that her son had read thousands of books,was awarded a PhD in literature,and authored his own books,articles,poetry and fiction.The power of the words has held.

25.Why did the author’s mother order him to borrow a book?

A.Because the author was a lazy student.B.Because she wanted to cure his problem.

C.Because the public library was near.D.Because borrowing books was cheaper.

26.What can we learn about the author’s dog?

A.It was one of his favorite pets.B.It was secretly stolen from him.

C.Its name was Amos.D.It was adopted by someone else.

27.What was the function of the book the author borrowed from the library?

A.It opened a door to his reading.B.It reminded him of his childhood.

C.It proved his mother was wrong.D.It improved his imagination.

28.Which one could be the best title of the passage?

A.The Charm of a Book B.Mum’s Strict Order

C.Reunion with My Beagle D.My Passion for Reading

C

Are you a social media addict? Are you always checking your smartphone to see how many ‘likes’ you’ve received for your latest post? Maybe you feel comforted by the notification sound that someone has sent you a message? Don't worry,you’re not alone.We check our phones all average of 150 times a day,and around 30%of the total time spent online is dedicated to social media.

Some experts now fear this habit could be damaging our mental health.This is something particularly affecting young adults,according to a study from the University of Pittsburgh.It found the more they used social media,the more likely they are to be depressed.The study found that exposure to “highly idealised life of peers on social media causes feelings of envy”.Some of us certainly feel sad when we’re ignored on social media sites,or when we see someone else having a better time than us.But depression is a more serious condition,which has been getting significantly worse over the last 5-6 years.You can get so hookedthat it takes you away from your real relationships.Other research by Glasgow University found that those with higher levels of emotional investment in social media,and who use it at night,were more likely to feel depressed and anxious.

Despite these warning signs,why do some of us continue to keep clicking? Well,I suppose we all want to be liked and we don’t want to miss out on a conversation that’s taking place online.But we need to know when to switch off our virtual online world and connect with the real world instead.

29.According to the passage,what might be damaging our mental health?

A.Using smartphones too frequently B.Getting too many ‘likes’.

C.Longing for more messages.D.Being addicted to social media.

30.According to the research,people may feel depressed because______.

A.they thought others are living a better lifeB.they believe they have no real-life friends

C.they are ignorant about social media.D.they desire to be part of the real world

31.The underlined word “hooked” is closest in meaning to______.

A.depressed B.relaxed C.addictedD.embarrassed

D

It’s 5:00 in the morning when the alarm rings in my ears.I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom.I turn on the light and put on my glasses.The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully.Usually I go for a long run,but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD insanity.Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes.My heart races as I face my body to finish each movement.As I near the end of the exercise,I feel extremely tired,but a smile is of my face.It’s a smile because the DVD is over,but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.

Some people enjoy shopping,smoking,food,work,or even chocolate.But I need exercise to get through each day.Some shake heads when they see me run through the town.Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother’s chocolate cake.They raise their eyebrows,surprised by my “no thank you,” or by my choice to have a salad.Over the years,I have learned it’s okay to just say “no.” I shouldn’t feel sorry for refusing food that I don’t want to eat.

So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.?What gives me the reason to just say to ice cream?Commitment.A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety,increases self–confidence and energy,extends life and above all improves my body shape.This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right.It’s through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.

32.Why is there a smile on the author’s face in the morning?

A.Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully.

B.Because she finishes her favorite exercise

C.Because she enjoys the interesting DVD

D.Because she feels a sense of achievement

33.Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?

A.She doesn’t like others r politely

B.She likes to make others surprised

C.Others don’t understand what she does.

D.Others try to help her by offering her food

34.What does the underlined word “commitment” in the last paragraph mean?

A.Good health B.Firm belief

C.A strong power D.A regular half

35.What can we learn about the author from the text?

A.She acts in a strange way

B.She wants to look different from others

C.She aims to develop a good body shape

D.She has difficult getting along with others
