第二部分 阅读理解（满分40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。
21．（6分）The people of Chicago, Illinois, US, can thank three canals every time they drink a glass of clean water today. The building of the Illinois-Michigan Canal, the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and the Cal-Sag Canal all helped the Chicago River start flowing in a different direction in 1892.
Since their construction over a century ago, these waterways have connected Lake Michigan and the Mississippi river network and ensured a regular flow of fresh water of Chicago.
However, some unusual and unfortunate side effects have also been created because of their construction. Asian carp(鲤鱼), also known as silver or flying carp, are threatened in their native habitat in the Chinese Heilongjiang, Yangtze, and Pearl River basins. But they have become increasingly successful at filling the Mississippi river network since first being introduced into Arkansas catfish farms in the 1970s to control algae(水藻). By swimming into the canals and spreading further across the country, there are now major fears that this introduced species may be able to access Lake Michigan and the wider Great Lakes - which store an incredible 21 percent of the entire world’s fresh water.
“The actual influence of Asian carp on the Great Lakes has yet to be explained clearly, and we think this uncertainty is part of the reason why they are such an obvious issue,” says Dr Cory Suski, Associate Professor in the Department of Natural Resources and Environment Sciences at the University of Illinois. He points out that adult Asian carp are too large to be hunted by anything locally, that they have a prolific(多产的) reproduction rate, and they can steal food from the other native species in the rivers. “Could they survive in the Great Lakes or is there not enough food for them?” he asks.
Stopping the fish from spreading has therefore become a key concern for local lawmakers, who have made efforts such as building electric fences in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal. However, any big efforts to stop the carp - such as allowing the Chicago River to once again flow in its original direction - would in turn threaten the security of the city’s water supply, replacing one big problem with another.
1、According to the text, the construction of the three canals .
A．changed the direction of the Mississippi river.
B．brought fresh water to the people of Chicago.
C．lasted for almost a century because of huge cost.
D．has been the largest construction project in US history.
2、According to the text, Asian carps .
A．have nearly become extinct in Chinese rivers.
B．have occupied large areas in the Great Lakes.
C．were introduced to the US to fight against algae pollution.
D．are likely to pollute the fresh water in the Great Lakes.
3、What is the major concern of Asian carp in the US?
A．Its large size and fast reproduction rate.
B．The food shortage facing the species.
C．Its threat to the Great Lakes ecosystem.
D．Its natural enemies in the local areas.
4、What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．US law makers knew little of the threat caused by Asian carp.
B．Electric fences might not be enough to stop the spread of Asian carp.
C．The Chicago River has changed its flowing direction many times.
D．People in Chicago will soon face a serious water supply shortage.

23．（8分）Judging from recent surveys, most experts in sleep behavior agree that there is virtually an epidemic(流行病)of sleepiness in the nation. “I can’t think of a single study that hasn’t found Americans getting less sleep than they ought to,” says Dr. David. Even people who think they are sleeping enough would probably be better off with more rest.
The beginning of our sleep-deficit (睡眠不足)crisis can be traced to the invention of the light bulb a century ago. From diary entries and other personal accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries, sleep scientists have reached the conclusion that the average person used to sleep about 9. 5 hours a night. "The best sleep habits once were forced on us, when we had nothing to do in the evening down on the farm, and it was dark." By the 1950s and 1960s, that sleep schedule had been reduced dramatically, to between 7.5 and 8 hours, and most people had to wake to an alarm clock. "People cheat on their sleep, and they don't even realize they're doing it," says Dr David. "They think they're okay because they can get by on 6.5 hours, when they really need 7.5, 8 or even more to feel ideally energetic."
Perhaps the most merciless robber of sleep, researchers say, is the complexity of the day. When ever pressures from work, family, friends and community mount, many people consider sleep the least expensive item on his programme. "In our society, you're considered dynamic if you say you only need 5.5 hours' sleep. If you've got to get 8.5 hours, people think you lack drive and ambition."
To determine the consequences of sleep deficit, researchers have put subjects through a set of psychological and performance tests requiring them, for instance, to add columns of numbers or recall a passage read to them only minutes earlier. "We've found that if you're in sleep deficit, performance suffers," says Dr David. "Short-term memory is weakened, as are abilities to make decisions and to concentrate."
1、According to Dr. David, Americans ________.
A．are ideally vigorous even under the pressure of life
B．often neglect the consequences of sleep deficit
C．do not know how to relax themselves properly
D．can get by on 6.5 hours of sleep
2、Many Americans believe that _____________.
A．sleep is the first thing that can be sacrificed when one is busy
B．they need more sleep to cope with the complexities of everyday life
C．to sleep is something one can do at any time of the day
D．enough sleep promotes people’s drive and ambition
3、The word “subjects” (Line 1, Para 4) refers to __________.
A．the performance tests used in the study of sleep deficit
B．special branches of knowledge that are being studied
C．people whose behavior or reactions are being studied
D．the psychological consequences of sleep deficit
4、It can be concluded from the passage that one should sleep as many hours as is necessary to ____________.
A．improve one’s memory dramatically
B．be considered dynamic by other people
C．maintain one’s daily schedule
D．feel energetic and perform adequately
24．（8分） Like any good mother, when Karen found out that another baby was on the way, she did what she could to help her 3-year-old son, Michael, prepare for a new baby. Day after day, night after night, Michael sang to his mommy’s tummy（肚子）.
Finally, Michael’s little sister was born. But she was in a very serious condition. With sirens（警报器）howling in the night, the ambulance rushed the baby to St. Mary’s Hospital. The days inched by. The little girl became worse. The pediatric（儿科的）specialists told the parents to prepare for the worst.
Michael kept begging for singing to his sister, but kids are not allowed in the pediatric department at St. Mary’s Hospital. Karen made up her mind to take Michael to see his sister. She dressed him in an oversized suit and marched him into the hospital. He looked like a walking laundry basket, but the head nurse recognized him as a child and shouted, “Get that kid out of here now!” Karen rose up strong, and the usually mild-mannered lady glared steel-eyed into the head nurse’s face. “ He is not leaving until he sings to his sister!”
Karen towed Michael to his sister’s bedside. He gazed at the tiny baby losing the battle to live. And he began to sing. In the pure-hearted voice of a 3-year-old, Michael sang, “You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey.” Instantly the baby girl responded. Her pulse rate became calm and steady. Her strained breathing became smoother.
“Keep on singing, Michael,” encouraged Karen with tears in her eyes. “The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you in my arms.” Michael’s little sister relaxed as healing rest seemed to sweep over her. “Keep on singing, Michael.” Tears conquered the face of the nurse. “You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. Please don’t take my sunshine away...”
The next day—the very next day—the little girl was well enough to go home!
1、Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．It’s Hard to Raise a Baby B．Mothers Love
C．The Miracle of a Brother’s Song D．An Unforgettable Day
