第二部分  阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）

第一节 阅读下列短文， 从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C,D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）

A

How would you describe Quincy Jones? Is he an instrumentalist, a composer, an arranger, or a　producer? None of these labels can sum up this remarkable man. He has been known for years to　people who follow popular music. But his part in the We Are the World VCD and the Hands Across

America project made him a national figure.

In addition to these successful efforts, Jones has written the music for many cartoon movies,　including The Color Purple, which won 11 Oscar nominations（提名）. He also wrote the music for

Alex Haley’s Roots, a greatly successful television mini―series. These achievements show his　many-sided genius.

Quincy Jones was born on March 14, 1973, in Chicago’s South Side. Ten years later, his family　moved to the Seattle area. It was there that he met Ray Charles, who was three years older than

Jones and who in time would be a world-famous singer. The young musicians performed at small　clubs and weddings. Through Charles’s influence, Jones began composing.

When Jones was only 15, his musical talent impressed Lionel Hampton, who invited him to join　the Hampton band. Jones was ready to quit school to join, but Hampton’s wife, Gladys, stated her　disagreement. Believing that he needed an education, she removed him from the band’s bas. “Get that child out of here,” she yelled, “Let him finish school.”

These experiences made Quincy Jones more determined than ever to success. He finished high school, attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston on a scholarship, and finally did Lionel Hampton’s band. Soon, however, he struck off on his own. The future beckoned（召唤） brightly.

41. Which of the following can best express the main idea of the passage?

A. Ray Charles, Lionel Hampton and Quincy Jones became very close friends.

B. Lionel Hampton played an important rule in the success of Quincy Jones.

C. A college education is very important and necessary in modern music.

D. Quincy Jones had a very lucky, fruitful and successful musical career.

42. Which of the following made Quincy Jones become famous all over the country?

A. His role in the We Are the World VCD and the Hands Across America program.

B. His music for the cartoon film The Color Purple which won 11 Oscar nominations.

C. His meeting with Ray Charles and their performances at small clubs and weddings.

D. His education in the Berklee College of Music in Boston, which is world-class.

43. Whose opinion played an important role in Jones’s school education and college education?

A. Alex Haley’s                B. Lionel Hampton’s

C. Ray Charles’s               D. Hampton’s wife’s

44. Insisting that Quincy Jones get off the bus, Gladys Hampton was actually very _____.

A. professional         B. cruel         C. kind          D. selfish

B

Friendship can deeply affect the physical and mental health of both men and women. Studies　show that people who have no friends or who are lonely, are more likely to die earlier, get sick　more often and suffer greater physical wear and tear（折磨） than those who have a support system　of friends.

Sometimes, family members may be more likely to give you advice or tell you what you don’t　want to hear. It may not be as good as a friend who will listen to you and guide you, but support　your decisions anyway. The most important elements about friendship are those who suffer　support and do not judge your decisions based on society.

One reason for the link between social support and good health practice seems to be that people　who feel cared for by others are less stress-out and are protected against the symptoms（症状） of　depression and loneliness.

Generally, women benefit most because of how they deal with stress. Women are more social in　how they deal with stress than men, while men are more likely to have a “fight or flight” reaction.

Women also tend to have larger, denser social network, in which more people know each other　and help each other, while men typically have smaller groups of friends and will rely on their　wives or other important people for more support. While all these affect people psychologically（心理上）, friendship brings comfort that reduces the ill effects of stress, and the sex difference　also contributes to the difference in the length of one’s life time.

45. In the author’s opinion, a real friend should _________.

A. tell you what to do even if you refuse to hear it.

B. try to persuade you to change your mind quickly.

C. judge your decision according to his/her experience.

D. give you advice but respect your own decision.

46. Women benefit more from friendship than men because _________.

A. women are always cared for by more people than men.

B. women are usually less stress-out when staying with others.

C. women are more likely to solve problems with friends’ help

D. women can always keep more long-life friendship than men

47. According to the passage we can infer that _______.

A. it’s good for women to tell men what they should do or not

B. friends are always more important than family members

C. men don’t want to share their problems with many people

D. the trend that women can live longer makes them more relaxed

48. This passage mainly talks about _________.

A. why people should develop friendship

B. when friendship affects people’s health

C. people’s different attitudes towards friendship

D. the friendship which can make people live longer

D

Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the websites you’ve　visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.

In fact, it’s likely that some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a husband or wife, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a police or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you’ve never intended to be seen.

Some experts tell us boundaries are healthy, and it’s important to reveal （暴露） yourself to your friends, family and lovers in stages, at proper times. But few boundaries could remain. The digital equipment makes it easy for strangers to know who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can even reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.

The key question is: Does that matter?

When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey shows that 60 percent of them feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me.”

But people often say one thing and do another. Only a tiny number of Americans change the behaviors in an effort to protect their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths（收费站） to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track your automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquits has run a series of tests, and these tests show that the majority of Americans will not keep personal secret just in order to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon（优惠券）

But privacy does matter―at least sometimes. It’s like health: when you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it’s gone, do you wish you’d done more to protect it. So, when it comes to privacy, why do so many people say one thing and do another? And what can be done about it?

53. What would be the experts’ advice on the relationships between friends?

A. Friends should open their hearts to each other.

B. Friends should always be faithful to each other.

C. There should be a distance even between friends.

D. There should be fewer secrets between friends.

54. The author says “we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret” because ______.

A. modern society has finally entered a much opened society

B. people leave privacy around when using modern technology

C. there are always people who are curious about others’ affairs

D. many search engines profit by selling people’s privacy

55. According to Alessandro Acquits, most Americans _________.

A. like to exchange their personal secret for the commercial benefit

B. aren’t interested in the pitiful commercial benefit to keep their personal secret

C. pay no attention to their personal secret for the commercial benefit

D. can’t keep the balance between their personal secret and the commercial benefit

56. The best title for the passage could be _________?

A. Is Privacy As Important As Health

B. What Can Be Done to Protect the Privacy

C. Does Privacy Matter

D. Does Modern Technology Reveal Privacy

The Most Important Room in the House

Every room in the house is important for its specific function. However, there is one room that we can’t go without―kitchen, because the kitchen is the most important center of the life of the household. First, different kinds of food can be prepared in the kitchen and the kitchen is a warm and pleasant place, where the family get together to enjoy the meals happily at the kitchen table.

Second, most of the family conversations can also take place in the kitchen, where the family members chat and /or exchange various kinds of information. Besides, whenever one feels hungry, he or she can find something to eat in the kitchen, where the food is always in full store.

All in all, the most important room in the house, and my personal favorite, is the kitchen, for it represents the center of the house as well as the family. （132 words）
