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）In a world full of Kates and Sarahs, you might think it’d be nice to have a unique name to help me stand out in a crowd.Being named Stacia (pronounced stay-sha) is not so lucky to me. I’11 get the occasional. “Your name is so pretty" after introducing myself, but eventually my name causes me more frustration than happiness. For example, Microsoft Word always tries to tell me my name isn’t a real word. I was never able to buy a cheesy Mickey Mouse keychain from Disneyland as a kid (in other words, I didn’t have a childhood). I couldn’t even pronounce my own name correctly until I was five.
I once had a professor who pronounced my name differently each class. After a while I stopped correcting him, and that’s been my reaction to strangers ever since. In other cages, I'd rather tell the cashier my name is Staci and save both of us, as well as the people standing behind me in line, valuable time.
Meeting new people gives me anxiety, and I've realized it's easier just to lie about my name altogether in certain cases. Actually I did—so many times that Brittany is now my chosen “going out" name. It may have caused some confusion with my friends at first, who would let out a small laugh or confused look, but I've trained them to keep a straight face whenever I came up with this fake(假的)name．Now going out on weekends means I get to have a shift of identity.
Frustrations aside, being the owner of a unique name has made me appreciate the little things in life. Someone pronouncing or spelling my name correctly on the first try brings me more joy than it probably should. I also love when I meet another Stacia and we get to bond over our shared struggles.
To any other Stacias reading this—I feel you, girl. P.S. I apologize to any real Brittanys out there. Thanks for letting me borrow your name !
1、169．How does the author often feel about her name?
A．Annoyed
B．Happy
C．Disappointed
D．Proud
2、171．Why does the author use a fake name?
A．To enjoy a different identity
B．To stand out in a crowd
C．To save time and trouble
D．To make a fool of herself
3、173．What’s the reaction of her friends to “Brittany" finally?
A．They are laughing at her
B．They are used to it
C．They are strongly against her
D．They are confused about it
4、175．How does the author sound when telling the story?
A．Guilty
B．Cautious
C．Curious
D．Humorous
22．（8分）The belief that new technologies are causing the death of work is the idea that never goes away. Despite evidence to the contrary, we still view technological change today as being more rapid and dramatic in its consequences for work than ever before. But this is nothing new. People have always viewed the technological changes that take place during their lives as the most dramatic and dangerous that ever happened in history.
In the 1930s, the British economist(经济学家) John Maynard Keynes predicted the widespread use of electricity would produce a world where people spend most of their time doing nothing. In the United States during the 1960s, the government repeatedly investigates fears that automatic machines would permanently reduce the amount of work available. In 1988, one Australian historian claimed that at least a quarter of the workforce would be without jobs within 10 years because of computers.
Of course, none of these disasters came to pass in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia, or anywhere else.
Yet today, we are seeing the return of these predictions, with some experts claiming the world of work is once more undergoing radical and unprecedented change. They argue that robots and other workplace technologies are causing a reduction in the total amount of work available, or are bringing a more rapid pace of substitution of machines for humans than has been seen previously.
But there is a little evidence to support such beliefs. Statistics show that the percentage of people in work, the number of hours they work, and how frequently they change jobs have remained remarkably constant over the past 20 years.
This stability should not come as a surprise. There are good reasons why we should not expect new technologies to cause the death of work. New technologies always cause job losses, but that is only part of the story. What also needs to be understood is how they increase the amount of work available.
One way this happens is through the increases in incomes that accompany the use of new technologies. With the introduction of these technologies, good and services can be produced faster, which results in higher real incomes for workers. Higher incomes then increase demand for other products and consequently more workers are needed to make them. Additionally, while new technologies are likely to substitute for some types of workers, they will also increase demand for other types of workers, especially those with higher level skills and expertise.
So, the end of work is no closer today than at any time in the past. But there is still a need to keep disproving the prediction, to reduce people's fears.
1、What is the function of the second paragraph?
A．To explain the importance of developing new technology.
B．To show how technology affected employment in the past.
C．To argue that technological dangers are becoming more serious.
D．To give historical examples of unnecessary fear about new technology.
2、How can employment statistics over the past 20 years best be described?
A．Confusing B．Reliable
C．Stable D．Variable
3、According to paragraph 7, why does demand for products often increase after new technology is introduced?
A．There are more goods for people to choose from.
B．There is more demand for new skills in the economy.
C．Productivity improvements help raise workers’ salaries.
D．Higher quality goods at lower prices encourage consumption.
4、What is the author’s opinion about the introduction of new technology?
A．It does not have an effect on most people’s jobs.
B．Its benefits are usually not worth the introduction.
C．It usually leads to a significant increase in employment.
D．Its danger to peoples employment possibilities is overstated.
23．（8分） John H．Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas city in 1918．His father died in an accident when John was six．He was reaching the high school age，but his hometown offered no high school for blacks．
Fortunately he had a strong﹣willed caring mother．John remembered that his mother told him many times，"Son，you can be anything you want really to be if you just believe．"She told him not to depend on others，including his mother．"You have to earn success，"she said．"All the people who work hard don't succeed，but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard．"
These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education．She also knew that believing hard work don't mean everything．So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son，who was then 15，to Chicago．
Chicago in 1933was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for．John's mother and stepfather could not find work．But here John could go to school，and here he learned the power of words﹣as an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School his wish was to publish a magazine for blacks．
While others discouraged him，John's mother offered him more words to live by．"Nothing beats a failure but a try．"She also let him pawn（典当）her furniture to get the﹩500 he needed to start the Negro magazine．It is natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful．He always keeps his mother's words in mind．"Son，failure is not in your vocabulary!"

24．（8分）Travelers to a new city are often encouraged to take a bus tour. The thinking is that they can later return to the places that attracted them, but that’s nonsense! What you see from the inside of a fast-moving bus is sanitized (清洁的) and unreal , entirely removed from the real sights, sounds, and smells outside.
The best way to experience any destination is by foot, without an itinerary, wandering where your spirit leads you. Even in the largest cities, the savvy(资深的) traveler plunges into the very center of town and walks down the nearest street, experiencing the actual life of the people while looking into the grocery stores and courtyard. You eventually get to many of the same sites that are on the bus route--the museums, the monuments, the city hall--but you will have witnessed so much more because you will have felt the contemporary life of the city you’re visiting.
“But what if I get lost?” people ask. No one ever gets permanently lost in a major city. Eventually, a trolley or bus passes with the words “Central Station” on its front and you can easily return to the center of town. Besides, the most wonderful things can happen if you do get lost, such as stopping at a sidewalk cafe to sit and relax and then asking directions from the locals at the next table. Hopefully , your trip may be attractive by this encounter. Here are a few ways to make the most of your travels:
Know before you go. Before you depart, spend time in a library or bookstore, learning about the history and culture of your destination so you will better understand the place you’re visiting .
Move around like a local. Use the local subways, trams and buses. You’ll not only save money, you’ll learn how people live there , and you’ll gain a realistic perspective of the city.
Check the bulletin board. Bulletin boards list free lectures, concerts, workshops and social gatherings, giving you a chance to join or meet the area’s most dynamic residents.
Take a walking tour. If you must book a guided tour, select the nonstandard , inexpensive kinds conducted on foot.
So, the next time you feel lured by a sightseeing bus tour, save your money and instead, wander around on your own. I promise you a time you’ll remember fondly.
