第二部分：阅读理解（共两节,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。
A
An interesting study posted on Facebook recently shows how men and women develop new interests as they mature(成熟).While women tend to take exercise seriously from the age of 34, men will wait until their 45th birthdays before working hard to get in shape. The average woman spends more time talking about sports, politics, career and money as she gets older. Women’s interest in books reaches its peak(顶峰) at the age of 22, while that of men does so when they are in their 50s.Men start to change their focus from the workplace to other things after age 30, while women do not do so until eight years later. Both, however, care most about fashion at age 16.The research used anonymous(匿名的) data donated by thousands of Facebook users, recording the statuses, ‘likes’ and ‘interests’ they had posted on their profiles.
It found the average woman talks about television most at 44, while men peak much younger, at age 31.Men are also most likely to see a film in a cinema at age 31, while women go out to see films most when they are only 19.Men are most interested in travel at 29, women at 27, while women talk most about food and drink at 35, and men at 38. And if you are middle aged, a safe topic for any audience is the weather, which is a key interest for many as they approach 60.
Stephen Wolfram, the British scientist who carried out the research, says, “It’s almost shocking how much this tells us about the changes of people’s typical interests.“People talk less about video games as they get older, and more about politics.”
21. When do women love books best?
A. At the age of 22.　 B. At the age of 50.
C. At the age of 30. D. At the age of 15.
22. Men tend to ______ once they are 30.
A. gain more and more weight B. be less interested in their jobs
C. do more exercise D. pay more attention to their appearance
23. What are men and women both interested in when they are 16?
A. Getting in shape. B. Going to the cinema.
C. Popular style of clothing.    D. Food and drink.
24. What does Stephen Wolfram think about the result of the research?
A. People’s interests are different from each other.
B. People’s interests change greatly with age.
C. It is normal for people to change their interests.
D. It is not good for people to change their interests.
B

I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled(贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute without a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled(爬) under her covers, weeping. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t noticed Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”
 Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned  the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.

Have you ever been sad because of failure? Please remember, for quite often achieving what you set out do is not the most important thing.
A boy decided to dig a deep hole behind his house. As he was working, a couple of older boys stopped by to watch. “What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “I want to dig a hole all the way through the earth!” the boy answered excitedly. The older boys began to laugh, telling him that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a while, the boy picked up a jar. He showed it to the visitors. It was full of all kinds of stones and insects. Then he said calmly and confidently, “Maybe I can’t finish digging all the way through the earth, but look at what I’ve found during this period!”
The boy’s goal was far too difficult, but it did cause him to go on. And that is what a goal is for－to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen, in other words, to cause us to keep working!
Not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will end up with a success. Not every dream will come true. But when you fall short of your aim, maybe you can say, “Yes, but look at what I’ve found along the way! There are so many wonderful things having come into my life because I tried to do something!” It is in the digging that life is lived. It is the unexpected joy on the journey that really makes sense.
32. The older boys laughed at the boy because he was thought to be______.
A. brave   B. impolite  C. foolish    D. warm-hearted
33. Why did the boy show the jar to the older boys?
A. To drive them away. 
B. To show what he had found in digging.
C. To show how beautiful the jar was.
D. To attract them to join him in the work.
34. What can be learnt from the fourth paragraph of the text?
A. No dream can come true.
B. All work will end successfully.
C. Goals shouldn’t be set too high.
D. Goals will make us work harder.
35. The best title for the text should be______.
A. A Boy Dug a Hole     B. Joy in the Journey  
C. No Pain, No Gains D. Failure Is the Mother of Success
