第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Generally speaking, government regulations normally ban anything from smoking in public places to parking in certain zones. But officials in the Brazilian town of Biritiba Mirim, 70km (45miles) east of Sao Paulo, have gone far beyond that. They plan to prohibit residents from dying early because the local cemetery(墓地) has reached full capacity.
There’s no more room to bury the dead, they can’t be cremated(火化) and laws forbid a new cemetery. So the mayor has proposed a strange solution: outlaw death. Mayor Roberto Pereira says the bill is meant as a protest against federal regulations that prohibit new or expanded cemeteries in preservation areas. “They have not taken local demands into consideration”, he claims.
A 2003 decree(法令) by Brazil’s National Environment Council forbids burial grounds in protected areas. Mr. Pereira wants to build a new cemetery, but the project has been stopped because 98% of Biritiba Mirim is considered as a preservation area.
Biritiba Mirim, a town of 28,000 inhabitants, not only wants to prohibit residents from passing away. The bill also calls on people to take care of their health in order to avoid death. “I haven’t got a job, nor am I healthy. And now they say I can’t die. That’s ridiculous,” Amarido do Prado, an unemployed resident said.
The city council is expected to vote on the regulation next week. “Of course the bill is laughable, illegal, and will never be approved,” said Gilson Soares de Campos, an assistant of the mayor. “But can you think of a better resolution to persuade the government to change the environmental decree that is prohibiting us from building a new cemetery?” The bill states that “offenders will be held responsible for their acts.” However, it does not say what the punishment will be.
1、What is the bill to be proposed by the officials in Biritiba Mirim?
A．Ban on building a new cemetery. B．Ban on parking in certain zones.
C．Forbidding buried grounds in preservation. D．Prohibiting residents from dying early.
2、What can we infer from the phrase “have gone far beyond that” in the first paragraph?
A．The officials in Biritiba Mirim have made these regulations.
B．The officials in Biritiba Mirim have been to many places around the world.
C．The bill to be proposed by officials in Biritiba Mirim is much too unexpected.
D．The officials in Biritiba Mirim have built too many cemeteries in their town.
3、What’s the attitude of the mayor of Biritiba Mirim towards the federal regulations?
A．He gives strong backing to them.
B．He objects to them.
C．He remains silent about them.
D．He asks the residents for advice on them.
4、Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A．The bill has come into effect but it doesn’t state clearly what punishements the offenders will receive.
B．The residents of the town sing high praise for the bill.
C．The government is going to change the unreasonale and laughable decree.
D．No better resolution of the problems has been thought out.

B
Hawking died early Wednesday at his home in England at the age of 76. Throughout his career as one of the world’s most recognizable cosmic thinkers, he regularly threw himself into pop culture’s comedic ring with cameos（客串）on programs such as The Simpsons and Late Night with Conan O’Brien.
These appearances defined Hawking’s personal life as mush as his universe-shaking theoretical work. Humor, however, was not just one side of his personality, but a key to overcoming the disease he struggled against since 1963.
“Keeping an active mind has been vital to my survival, as has maintaining a sense of humor,” Hawking said in a 2013 documentary. “I am probably better known for my appearances on The Simpsons and on The Big Bang Theory than I am for my scientific discoveries.”
At 21, Hawking was diagnosed with a condition similar to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis（肌萎缩性侧索硬化症）, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. According to the ALS Association, “Half of all people affected with ALS live at most three or more years after diagnosis. Twenty percent live five years or more; only ten percent will live more than ten years.”
The disease would eventually shut down Hawking’s motor functions, making him speechless and unable to move without a wheelchair. Doctors initially said he would be dead in two years. His condition, however, proved to be a rate slow-acting version.
But Hawking fought through his worse physical state, rising to a position as a celebrated professor of mathematical at the University of Cambridge and altering the popular conception of physics with his 1988 bestseller, A Brief History of Time.
“When I turned 21, my expectations were reduced to zero,” he said in a TV show. He added, “It was important that I came to appreciate what I did have. It’s also important not become angry, no matter how difficult life is, because you can lose all hope if you can’t laugh at yourself and at life in general.”
1、What was Hawking like according to the text?
A．He was kind and brave. B．He was friendly and adventurous.
C．He was humorous and strong-minded. D．He was shy and uncommunicative.
2、How did Hawking deal with ALS?
A．He did further research into the disease.
B．He kept a positive attitude towards his disease.
C．He did more exercise and spoke a lot with others.
D．He went to hospital to have a health check regularly.
3、What can be learnt from the story of Hawking?
A．Laughter is the best medicine.
B．Lost time is never found again.
C．Everything comes to him who waits.
D．A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
4、What can we know from the text?
A．ALS is a common disease in England.
B．Doctors once abandoned treatment for Hawking.
C．Playing roles in comedy was Hawking’s favorite.
D．It’s almost a wonder that Hawking can survive the disease.
