第二部分 阅读理解（共25小题。第一节每小题2分，第二节每小题1分；满分45分）
第一节 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
Every Thursday afternoon, my art history class meets not in our lecture hall but in the Yale University Art Gallery.
We spend our one-hour class discussing two or three of the paintings, many of which are by artists that we have already studied in class.
The professor begins by selecting one work of art. After giving us a quick background on the artist, he’ll open up for class discussion. Everyone is strongly encouraged to give opinions to the work. Not every piece we study is necessarily famous or striking in appearance and subject matter, yet we always manage to make some interesting observations.
In America, professors always take every opportunity to push textbooks aside and expose students to real world experiences.
With some creativity, almost any can be applied to such beyond the classroom learning.
My art history class trips to the gallery are but one example.
Many other disciplines also offer opportunities to learn outside the classroom, for instance, business, psychology, art, journalism and biology.
A friend of mine from Yale taking an advanced psychology course spends every Saturday working with mentally disabled children. Her mornings are spent playing with the kids and studying their sometimes uncontrolled behavior. Then in the afternoon she writes a report on her observations.
Students generally appreciate these unique learning opportunities. They’re almost always fun and interesting, and professors like them because students learn so much in just a few short months.
No one denies the value of classroom learning. But it can only take students so far.
Slides and textbooks may do a good job of carrying facts and dates, but creativity and originality of thought cannot be taught. They can only be got through first-hand experience.
41. The writer studies art history________.
A. in a lecture hall B. in an art gallery
C. in a simple way D. in a practical way
42. In American universities it is popular for professors to ______.
A. create textbooks by themselves
B. teach their lectures through real world experiences
C. ask their students to memorize the texts
D. share their experiences with the students
43. The writer introduces one of his friends’ experiences to us in order to ______.
A. give us an example B. praise the professor
C. praise his friend D. advise us to study psychology
44. The writer holds the opinion that _________.
A. learning outside the classroom is the best way
B. teachers should develop students’ creativity
C. professors had better shorten their lectures
D. students should put their textbooks away
B
Soccer is played millions of people all over the world, but there have only been few players who were truly great. How did these players get that way―was it through training and practice, or are great players “born, not made”? First, these players came from places that have had famous stars in the past―players that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate. In the history of soccer, only six countries have ever won the World Cup―three from South America and three from western Europe. There has never been a great national team―or a really great player―from North America or from Asia. Second, these players have all had years of practice in the game. Alfredo Di Stefano was the son of a soccer player, as was Pele. Most players begin playing the game at the age of three or four.
Finally, many great players come from the same kind of neighborhood―a poor,
crowded area where a boy’s dream is not to be a doctor, lawyer, or businessman,
but to become a rich, famous athlete or entertainer. For example, Liverpool, which
produced the Beetles, had one of the best English soccer teams in recent years.
Pele practiced in street with a “ball” made of rags. And George Best learned
the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums of
Belfast.
All great players have a lot in common, but that doesn’t explain why they are
great. Hundreds of played in those Brazilian streets, but only one became Pele. The
greatest players are born with some unique that sets them apart from all the others.
45. According to the author, which of the following statements istrue?
A. Great soccer players are born, not made.
B. Truly great players are rare.
C. Only six countries have ever had famous soccer stars.
D. Soccer is the least popular sport in North America and Asia.
46. The word “tricks” at the end of paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ____.
A. experience B. cheating C. skills D. training
47. In the last paragraph the statement “only one became Pele” indicates that___.
A. Pele is the greatest soccer player
B. the greatest players are born with some unique quality
C. Pele’s birthplace sets him apart from all the other players
D. the greatest players practice with “balls” made of rags
48. The author thinks a soccer player’s success belongs to all the following factors EXCEPT______.
A. his family background B. his neighborhood
C. his practice D. his height
C
Scratchy throats, stuffy noses and body aches all spell misery, but being able
to tell if the cause is a cold or flu may make a difference in how long the misery lasts.
The American Lung Association (ALA)has issued new guidelines on combating colds and the flu, and one of the keys is being able to quickly tell the two apart. That’s because the prescription drugs available for the flu need to be taken soon after the illness sets in. As for colds, the sooner a person starts taking over-the-counter remedy, the sooner relief will come.
The common cold and the flu are both caused by viruses. More than 200 viruses can cause cold symptoms, while the flu is caused by three viruses―flu A,B and C. There is no cure for either illness, but the flu can be prevented by the flu vaccine, which is, for most people, the best way to fight the flu, according to the ALA.
But if the flu does strike, quick action can help. Although the flu and common
cold have many similarities, there are some obvious signs to look for. Cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose and scratchy throat typically develop gradually, and adults and teens often do not get a fever. On the other hand, fever is one of the characteristic features of the flu for all ages. And in general, flu symptoms including fever and chills, sore throat and body aches come on suddenly and are more severe than cold symptoms.
The ALA notes that it may be particularly difficult to tell when infants and preschool age children have the flu. It advises parents to call the doctor if their small children have flu-like symptoms.
Both cold and flu symptoms can be eased with over-the-counter medications as well. However, children and teens with a cold or flu should not take aspirin for pain relief because of the risk of Reye syndrome(综合症), a rare but serious condition of the liver and central nervous system.
There is course, no vaccine for the common cold. But frequent hand washing and avoiding close contact with people who have colds can reduce the likelihood of catching one.
49. According to the author, knowing the cause of the misery will help_____.
A. shorten the duration of the illness
B. the patient buy medicine over the counter
C. the patient obtain cheaper prescription drugs
D. prevent people from catching colds and the flu
50. We learn from the passage that_______.
A. one doesn’t need to take any medicine if he has a cold or the flu
B. aspirin should not be included in over-the-counter medicines for the flu
C. delayed treatment of the flu will harm the liver and central nervous system
D. over-the-counter drugs can be taken to ease the misery caused by a cold or the flu
51. Which of the following symptoms will distinguish the flu from a cold?
A. A stuffy nose. B. A high temperature.
C. A sore throat. D. A dry cough.
52. If children have flu-like symptoms, their parents_____.
A. are advised not to give them aspirin
B. should watch out for signs of Reye syndrome
C. are encouraged to take them to hospital for vaccination
D. should prevent them from mixing with people running a fever
D
People travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines(圣地). Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their picture taken in front of famous places. But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.
Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason the Mediterranean(地中海)has always attracted them. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun!
The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italy’s 30,000 hotels are booked solid every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks, and roadsides. Spain’s long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain.
But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, it’s getting worse. The French can’t figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution.
None of this, however, is spoiling anyone’s fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they don’t go there for clean water and solitude(独处).They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don’t even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it’s still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.
53. The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that____.
A. they want to see historic remains or religious spots
B. they are interested in different cultural traditions and social customs
C. they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites
D. they wish to escape from the cold, dark and rainy days back at home
54. Why cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam are mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. To show that they are not good cities in terms of geography and climate.
B. To tell us how wealthy their residents are.
C. To suggest that these cities lack places of historic interest and scenic beauty.
D. To prove that they have got more tourism than they can handle.
55. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. All the 37 million people living in Spain are tourists.
B. Every year the number of tourists to Spain almost equals that of the people living in the country.
C. Every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist.
D. Every Spanish is visited by a tourist every year.
56. According to the passage, which of the following factors might spoil the tourists’ fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?
A. Polluted water. B. Crowded buses.
C. Traffic jams. D. Rainy weather.
E
Any observant(善观察)person has noticed that a wild animal will allow a man or
other potential enemy to approach only up to a given distance before it flees. “Flight distance” is the terms used for this interspecies spacing. As a general rule, there is a positive relationship between the size of an animal and its flight distance―the larger the animal, the greater the distance it must keep between itself and the enemy. An antelope(羚羊)will flee when the enemy is as much as five hundred yards away. The wall lizard’s (壁虎)flight distance, on the other hand is about six feet. Flight is the basic means of survival for mobile creatures.
Critical distance apparently is present wherever and whenever there is a flight reaction. “Critical distance” includes the narrow zone separating flight distance from attack distance. A lion in a zoo will flee from an approaching man until it meets a barrier that it cannot overcome. If the man continues the approach, he soon penetrates(洞察)the lion’s critical distance, at which point the cornered lion reverses direction and begins slowly to walk angrily to the man.
Social animals need to stay in touch with each other. Loss of contact with the
group can be fatal for a variety of reasons including exposure to enemies. Social distance is not simply the distance at which an animal will lose contact with his group―that is, the distance at which it can no longer see, hear, or smell the group―it is rather a psychological distance, one at which the animal apparently begins to feel anxious when he exceeds its limits. We can think of it as a hidden band that contains the group.
Social distance varies from species to species. It is quite short―apparently only a few yards among some animals, and quite long among others.
Social distance is not always rigidly fixed but is determined in part by the situation. When the young of apes and humans are mobile but not yet under control of the mother’s voice, social distance may be the length of her reach. This is readily observed among the baboons(狒狒)in a zoo. When the baby approaches a certain point, the mother reaches out to seize the end of its tail and pull it back to her. When added control is needed because of danger, social distance shrinks. To show this in man, one has only to watch a family with a number of small children holding hands as they cross a busy street.
57. Which of the following is the most appropriate definition of Flight Distance?
A. Distance between animals of the same species before fleeing.
B. Distance between large and small animals before fleeing.
C. Distance between an animal and its enemy before fleeing.
D. Distance between certain animal species before fleeing.
58. If a lion sees its enemy in critical distance, it will ____.
A. begin to attack B. try to hide
C. begin to jump D. run away
59. The example of the children holding hands when crossing the street in the last paragraph show _________.
A. social distance is not always needed
B. there is no social distance among small children
C. humans are different from animals in social distance
D. social distance is sometimes determined by outside factors
60. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. Critical Distance B. Spacing in Animals
C. Relationship between Animals D. Psychological Distance

Report on the Survey about Our School Uniform
I did a survey about school uniform. I asked some of my classmates what they thought about our uniform.x
The majority like it. 55% of them say it is very fashionable and color is nice. They think it is neat and tidy and suits the student. In some students’ opinion, when we wear our school uniform, we feel equal and don’t need t follow fashion.
Others don’t like the school uniform. Some of them feel it is uncomfortable and the color is too dull. Some consider it old-fashioned. In the eyes of others, its style is very simple.
The rest of them have no idea about it.
