第二部分：阅读理解（共2节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
A villa designed to resist earthquakes with “self-healing” cracks in its walls, thanks to nanotechnology applications with self healing polymers(聚合物), is to be built on a Greek mountainside. The villa’s walls will include special particles that turn into a liquid when squeezed under pressure, flow into cracks, and then harden to form a solid material.
The Nano Manufacturing Institute (NMI), based in Leeds University, will play a key role in an EU project to construct the home by December 2010. The project, called “Intelligent Safe and Secure Building”(ISSB) is funded under the EU’s Sixth Framework program. This potentially life saving scheme is led by German building manufacturer Knauf. The villa will be built in Amphilochia, in western Greece, where Knauf currently runs a manufacturing plant. If the experiment is successful, more tremor-resistant(防震)homes could be built in earthquake zones across the globe. NMI chief executive Professor Terry Wilkins said, “What we’re trying to achieve here is very exciting. We’re looking to use polymers in much tougher situations than ever before on a larger scale.” Monitors contained in the villa’s walls will be able to collect vast amounts of data about the building over time.
Wireless sensors and Leeds designed radio frequency identity tags will record any stresses and vibrations, as well as temperature, humidity and gas level. The walls are to be built from novel load-bearing steel frames and high strength gypsum board. Professor Wilkins said, “If there are any problems, the intelligent sensor network will be able to alert residents immediately so they have time to escape.” If whole groups of houses are so constructed, we could use a larger network of sensors to get even more information. “If the house falls down, we have got hand-held devices that can be used over the rubble to pick out where the embedded(嵌入的)sensors are hidden to get some information about how the villa collapsed.” Also, we can get information about anyone who may be around, so it potentially becomes a tool for rescue.
21．The aim of the passage is to .
A. report a piece of interesting news
B. promote tremor-resistant homes
C. inform us of the nanotechnology development
D. tell us about a tremor resistant home
22．The villa can resist earthquakes because .
A. it will be built on a special place
B. the cracks in its walls can be healed by the polymers
C. the special particles can make its walls stronger
D. the intelligent sensor network can tell people where there is a crack
23．If the tremor resistant home falls down, .
A. no one can be hurt in the earthquake
B. the intelligent sensor network will stop working
C. rescue work can be done more quickly and accurately
D. a warning signal will be given to other residents

Every year, I tell my sons what I'd like for Mother's Day: a letter, something written from the heart and offered freely rather than bought from a store and wrapped neatly. I don't always get my wish, nor do I always take the time to write to my own mother.
This year, my boys will be in two different states on Mother's Day. My mom and dad will be away together, and I'll be driving home from a writer's workshop in Massachusetts. Thinking of the fact that many friends have already lost their mothers and that a few have lost children, I am deeply grateful that what separates us, for now at least, is only distance. It won't always be so, and there is no way to prepare for that fact other than to appreciate the moment that is. My sons know that they can please me on Sunday with a phone call or an e-mail, and that is enough as I love their words. The very best gift they can possibly give me is their own happiness, the very fact of their busy, full and well-lived lives.
Still, knowing that my years of staying with my sons are over, I do feel doleful. The truth is, I miss being the center of the universe to two little boys. And this holiday can be a bit painful.
I wonder if my own mother ever felt nostalgic (怀旧的，乡愁的) for the passing of my childhood. I wonder if she realizes that she is still at the center of my universe and always has been. I don't often pause to think about it, but of course she is the one who has been right there, at my side from the moment I drew my very first breath. How to ever fully appreciate the woman whose presence and love and example have shaped me into the adult I am? How to describe even a small part of the sharing, sacrificing, and support she has given me over the years?
24．The author mainly wants to tell us through the first paragraph that_______.
A. she hopes to get her son's letters very much
B. her sons don't often write to her on Mother's Day
C. Mother's Day is the very date that she looks forward to most
D. Children are often careless about their parents’ request (请求).
25．The author is deeply grateful for the present life because_______.
A. her sons don't live far away from her home
B. her parents and children are still alive
C. her parents are coming to her house to spend Mother's Day
D. her sons can please her on Sunday with a phone call
26．What does the underlined word "doleful" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. sad B. disappointed
C. exhausted D. amused
27．What will the author probably tell about after the last paragraph?
A. She'll tell the reader about her mother's present situation.
B. She'll describe the reunion of her family on Mother's Day.
C. She'll talk about how her mother educated and cared for her.
D. She'll tell the reader about her mother's achievements in her career.

Different colours can affect us in many different ways, according to Verity Allen. In her new series ‘ Colour me Healthy’, Verity looks at the ways that colours can influence how hard we work and the choices we make. They can even change our emotions and influence how healthy we are.
“Have you ever noticed how people always use the same colours for the same things ?” says Verity. “ Our toothpaste is always white or blue or maybe red. It’s never green. For some reason we consider green products as being a bit unacceptable. It’s the same for businesses. We respect a company writing its name in blue or black, but we don’t respect one that uses pink or orange. People designing new products can use these ideas to influence what we buy.”
During the four-part series, Verity studies eight different colours, two colours in each programme. She meets people who work in all aspects(方面) of the colour industry, from people designing food packets(小包), to people naming the colours of lipsticks(口红). Some of the people she meets clearly have very little scientific knowledge to support their ideas, such as the American “ Colour Doctor” who believes that serious diseases can be treated by the use of coloured lights. However, she also interviews real scientists who are studying the effects of green and red lights on mice, with some surprising results.
In a word, it’s an interesting show, and anyone who watches it will probably find out something new. But because Verity goes out of her way to be polite to everyone she meets on the series, it’s up to the viewers to make their own decisions about how much they should believe.
28．The main purpose of the text is to provide information about .
A. a television host
B. a new television series
C. how colours influence us

A. Part1—Blue and White; Part2—Products and Industry; Part3—Emotions; Part4—Decisions
B. Part1—Blue and Black ; Part2—White and Grey; Part3—Clothes; Part4—Green and Yellow
C.Part1—Meeting Designers; Part2—Pink and Orange; Part3—MeetingDoctors; Part4—Meeting Scientists
D. Part1—Blue and Black ; Part2—Red and Orange; Part3—White and Grey ; Part4—Green and Yellow
30．According to Verity, a knowledge of colour can help you to .
A. choose the best products
B. change people’s lifestyle
C. get new ideas
D. sell products
31．Who does the author respect least?

Maybe you are an ordinary student. 36． This is not necessarily so. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:
Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First arrange your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc, then decide a good, regular time for studying. 37． A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.
Make good use of your time in class. 38． Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. 39． If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried.
40． You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.
