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，共30 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
My 18-month-old son, Adam, called from the front door. “Look, Mama! Doggie!” I dropped
what I was doing and stuck my head out of the door. Brandy, our next-door neighbor’s 11-year-old
dog, was over again. “Go away!” I shouted.
Brandy’s owner had died about a month earlier. The woman’s family had emptied the house and
stuck a “For Sale” sign in the front yard, but the family had left old Brandy behind. For weeks, she’d
been wandering around the neighborhood.
It wasn’t that I disliked dogs or anything like that. I just didn’t think about them very much. I
never had a dog growing up and had never thought to get one.
Brandy went away and I stayed outside with Adam. Then the phone rang. I went inside to take
the call. When I came back, Adam was gone. I searched the yard, front and back, then the basketball
court and the public pool. No trace of him. I was so nervous that I ran home and called the police,
then my husband.
Police searched the neighborhood. Suddenly I heard another sound: a dog barking. “It’s coming
from the woods,” one of my neighbors said. We followed the barking to a wooded cliff (悬崖). There
we found my son, and he was just inches away from the edge of the cliff, fast asleep. Brandy was
beside him, leaning (倚靠) against him to keep him away from the edge. When I picked Adam up,
Brandy sank down on her side, breathing quickly. She must have been holding Adam there for hours!
I thanked the police and brought Adam and Brandy back to our house. She hesitated a moment
on our doorstep, no doubt remembering the time I’d driven her away.
“Come on, girl.” I said. “This is your home now.” Brandy stepped in, and once she saw she was
really welcome, she relaxed and lay down on the floor just inside the door. She’d done a great thing,
and I wondered if she knew it. She’d certainly touched me in a way that no animal ever had. What a
pity a dog like Brandy had been left behind!

Research shows that humans switch from selfish to unselfish behaviour when they are watched.
Do you?
A picture of a set of eyes on a computer screen can cause a change in the way people act. Even
images of eyes on a charity donation box encourage people to be unselfish, because people put more
money in a donation box that has a picture of eyes on it than they do when a flower symbol is on the
box.
Manfred Milinski from the Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Germany and
Bettina Rockenbach from the University of Berlin, the authors of a new study, found that people act
better when they are being watched because they feel they will be rewarded for good behaviour. Their
report also referred to other research showing that this response of behaving well when watched is
somehow coded into humans and people respond this way unconsciously, or without realising it.
It is not just humans that act unselfishly when they are being watched. A fish called the grooming
fish cleans other fishes. When other fishes are around, it is gentler. When no other fishes are around,
however, the grooming fish bites chunks from the fish which are supposed to be cleaned.
The researchers suggest that the best way to get people to behave in the correct way is to make
them feel watched. This could be the reason for the success of a famous American army poster. On it

was a picture of an elderly man staring fiercely and pointing, it appeared, to the person who was
looking at the poster. Under the picture was the caption “I Want You”. It encouraged hundreds of
thousands of young American men to join the army during the Second World War to fight the
Germans and Japanese.
28. According to the report, why does a person behave better when he feels he is being watched?
A. He does not want to be shamed by others.
B. He needs to show that he is a good person.
C. He desires others to like him more.
D. He feels he will get social rewards.
29. What is the text mainly about?
A. It describes changed behaviour when observed.
B. It details ways to control people’s behaviour.
C. It tells how to make people work harder.
D. It discusses different advertising methods.
30. According to the text, which of the following statements is true?
A. People pretend to behave better when they are watched.
B. Grooming fishes bite other fish in a fish tank when they are alone.
C. People donate more money when they feel they are watched.
D. Soldiers fought better during World War II because of a poster.
31. Where would the study described in the text most likely be found?
A. In a newspaper. B. In a scientific journal.
C. In an advertising magazine. D. In a science fiction.
D
For most city people, the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the
enthusiasm or interest that trains, jets, and even bicycles afford to Americans. Dr Christopher Wilk is
a member of a small group of elevator experts who consider this a misunderstanding. Without the
elevator, they point out, there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings, and city life as we
know it would be impossible. In a sense, they argue, the elevator’s role in American history has been
no less significant than that of cars. In fact, according to Wilk, the car and the elevator have been
locked in a “secret war” for over a century, with cars making it possible for people to spread
horizontally(水平地), and elevators pushing them towards life in close groups of towering vertical(垂
直的) columns.
If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators, it might be because riding in them tends to be
such a brief, boring, and even awkward experience—one that can involve unexpectedly meeting
people with whom we have nothing in common, and an unpleasant awareness of the fact that we’re
hanging from a cable in a long passage.
In a new book, Lifted, German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed
all his attention to this experience, studying the origins of elevator and its relationship to humankind

and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience.“After 150 years,
we are still not used to it,”Bernard said. “We still have not exactly learnt to cope with the mixture of
closeness and displeasure.” That mixture, according to Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from just
about every other situation we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.
Today, as the world’s urban population explodes, and cities become more crowded, taller, and
more crowded, America’s total number of elevators—900，000 at last count, according to Elevator
World magazine’s “2012 Vertical Transportation Industry”—are a force that’s becoming more
important than ever. And for the people who really, really love them, it seems like high time that we
looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.
32. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. The general view of elevators. B. The particular interests of experts.
C. The desire for a remarkable machine. D. The enthusiasm for transport vehicles.
33. The author’s purpose in mentioning cars is ________.
A. to contrast their functions with elevators
B. to emphasize the importance of elevators
C. to reveal their secret war against elevators
D. to explain people’s preference for elevators
34. According to Prof Bernard, what has made the elevator ride different from other life
experiences?
A. Vertical direction. B. Lack of excitement.
C. Little physical space. D. Uncomfortable conditions.
35. The author urges readers to consider ________.
A. the exact number of elevator lovers B. the serious future situation of elevators
C. the role of elevators in city development D. the relationship between cars and elevators
