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、D）中， 选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Lots of students shop to reduce stress or just to kill time with their friends. Shopping to get rid of boredom or to escape from life’s pressures may lead to serious problems. When you start to shop out of control, you become a shopping addict（上瘾者）.

Shopping addicts show signs that are similar to other addicts. Some students think that shopping, even as little as buying gifts for classmates, can make them feel better and forget their problems. Actually, it can make them feel worse, guilty, or even cause them to run into financial difficulties. Finding yourself in a financial struggle or deep in debt may harm your relationships with friends and parents.

Do you go shopping for just a few things and come home with your wallet empty? Do you always go shopping after an emotional trauma or when life feels tough（艰难的）? Do you regret later what you buy? Or do you buy things that you never use? Maybe your parents or friends have expressed disagreement that leads you to hide items or lie about prices.

Avoid any environment that may make you want to spend money. Never use credit cards. Form some other meaningful and beneficial hobbies. Exercise, yoga and hot baths generally may help you not want to shop. Take a drive through the country where there aren’t any stores. Have patience with yourself and your money, which can benefit you for the rest of your life.

21. According to the passage, shopping addicts ______.

1. are always rich people B. get well along with friends

C. may suffer financial difficulties D. all the above

22. The third paragraph mainly tells about ______.

1. ways to get rid of shopping addiction
2. the signs of shopping addicts
3. the danger of shopping addiction
4. why shopping addicts can’t stop shopping

23. The underlined word “trauma” probably means “______”.

1. hurt B. satisfaction C. enjoyment D. appreciation

B

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.

When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault(过错). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(受责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault.

Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised. So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: Practice remembering.

28. The main reason for one’s poor memory is that _______. 

 A. his father or mother may have a poor memory 

B. He does not use his name or legs for some time 

C. his memory is not often used 

D. he can’t read or write 

29. Which of the following is NOT true?  

A. Your memory works in the same way as your arms or legs. 

B. Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you don’t give it enough chance for practice. 

C. Don’t learn how to read and write if you want to have a better  memory. 

D. A good memory comes from more practice. 

30. Some people can’t read or write, but they usually have better memories, because ___.

A. they have saved much trouble 

B. they have saved much time to remember things 

C. they have to use their memories all the time 

D. they can’t write everything in a little notebook 

31. If you don’t use your arms or legs for some time,_____________.  

A. you cannot use them anymore .

B. they slowly become weak. 

C. you will feel relaxed. 

D. they will never change.
