第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分 40分）

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
A
 My six-year-old granddaughter stares at me as if she is seeing me for the first time. “Grandma, you are an antique,” she says. “You are old. Antiques are old. You are my antique.”
I am not satisfied to let the matter rest there. I explain, “An antique is not only just old; it’s an object existing since or belonging to earlier times such as a work of art or a piece of furniture. Antiques are valuable.”
We look around the house for antiques. There is a large desk that was handed down from an aunt to our family. “It’s very old,” I tell Jenny. “I try to keep it polished, and I show it off whenever I can. You do that with antiques.” When Jenny gets older and understands such things, I might also tell her that whenever I look at the desk or touch it, I am reminded of the aunt who was dear to me and gave me the desk as a gift. I see her face again, though she is no longer with us. I remember myself as a little girl standing against this antique, listening to one of her stories.
Our tour of antiques continues. There is a picture on the wall purchased at a yard sale. It is dated 1867, and it is not in very good condition. There is a vase on the floor. I’m not certain where it came from, but I didn’t buy it new. And then there is an old-style bed, sent to me forty years ago from an uncle who slept in it for fifty years.
“The one thing about antiques,” I explain to Jenny, “is that they usually have a story.”
For a moment Jenny looks thoughtful. “I don’t have any antiques but you,” she says. Then her face brightens. “Could I take you to school for our antiques show?”
“Only if I fit into your backpack,” I answer. And then her antique lifts her up and gives her a big hug that will last through the years.
46. The author shows Jenny many antiques to ________.
A. let her learn to value things
B. tell her the stories behind them
C. show her the meaning of the word “antique”
D. help her know more about the family’s past
47. What do the picture and the vase have in common?
A. Both came from the author’s uncle. B. Both are still in good condition.
C. Both were received as a gift. D. Both were bought old.
48. It can be inferred from the text that _________.
A. Jenny loves the author very much
B. the author agrees to Jenny’s request
C. Jenny doesn’t like the author’s antiques
D. the author’s explanation confuses Jenny
49. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Jenny’s antique B. A tour of antiques
C. My love of antiques D. Stories behind my antiques
B

Students at New Market Elementary School had a fitter lifestyle last week. About 50 students participated in a 30-minute workout after school on Friday in the school’s gym. This was a Fit Fridays program introduced at the school by Families Plus, a non-profit group that provides programs to enrich the lives of families and children in Frederick County.
The free program aims to encourage students from kindergarten through fifth grade to be physically active by having them participate in various age-appropriate activities designed to promote a love of exercise, according to Kim Ragan, head of the program.
The program, which started at the school on Nov.9, 2012, has since become a hit, Ragan said.
Emily Liston, 37, said the program allows students to focus on fitness as a priority in their lives. “There’re so many things to stop them from being active,” she said. “So, anything to keep them moving is good, especially in the winter months”.
Jennifer Mitchell, 40, whose daughter Alexandra, 7, participated in the Fit Fridays program, said that learning the importance of being active isn’t the only thing students are learning from the new program. “It’s a great opportunity for them to get some exercise and also to learn to get along and socialize, to learn teamwork,” she said. “In school they have to do activities like this but they want to do it.”
Riley Glynn, 9, a fourth grader at the school, said his favorite part of the program is getting to spend more time with his friends. “It’s fun to play with people,” Riley said. “It’s like physical education after school but it really helps you.”
“You learn how to make yourself stronger,” said Megan Hummel, 7, a first grader.
Ragan said she plans to expand the program to include other schools in the county, but she has been having trouble finding fitness instructors to participate. “As soon as I can get instructors to teach we’ll expand,” she said.
53. What’s the purpose of the Fit Fridays program?
A. To teach students the importance of physical education.
B. To help students get through the tough winter months
C. To introduce students to fun physical activities
D. To keep students active through exercise
54. The underlined word “priority” in paragraph 4 probably refers to something very _________.
A. successful B. important C. impressive D. popular
55. Jennifer’s words show that the program __________.
A. benefits the students a lot
B. raises the students’ confidence
C. is more important than physical education
D. is completely different from school activities
56. Who values the time spent with friends in the program?
A. Megan Hummel. B. Jennifer Mitchell
C. Riley Glynn D. Emily Liston

Many parents try hard to protect their kids from TV and Internet advertising. But how can you protect a child from a large fast-food ad painted on her school locker (衣物柜)? Or a toy ad on the side of his school bus?
As school budgets get smaller, a growing number of schools in the US are selling, advertising space on lockers and buses and in gyms or cafeterias. It is an easy way for schools to make money. And ads may provide relief for parents exhausted by making cash donations to support schools.
While parents can always turn off the televisions or the computers, they can’t keep advertising out of schools. This isn’t the first time the issue has come up. For example, a news program for teens has been criticized for including ads in its 12-minute classroom broadcasts. And parents’ groups successfully fought a plan by a company called Bus Radio to put music and ads into school b
