第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）
第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Q
My daughter is a junior in high school and has been on an individualized education program since fourth grade．She plans to go to college and intends to finish with a master’s degree．Her performance is fairly good, but test scores are very low．She has held many leadership and volunteer positions．We have been advised to have her write an essay about how her learning disability is a barrier that she has overcome．Will that help or hurt her chances for admission?
A
—Deborah
First let me answer the question on low standardized test scores （ACT/ SAT）．There are hundreds of colleges that are “test optional” which means students can choose not to release their test scores in the application process．Admission decisions at these colleges for students who do not submit their test scores are made based on other factors．A list of test optional colleges can be found at fairtest．org．It is important, however, to make sure that the college is the right fit academically regardless of the test optional policy．
You also asked if your daughter should write about her disability and if this would hurt her chances of being admitted．Please know that colleges do not deny admission based on disability．“Disclosing” a learning disability in a personal statement within the college application can certainly help．By writing a personal statement, students can potentially demonstrate, for example, their understanding of the challenge they face．They might also demonstrate an improved grade trend in that subject area, and show interest in more complex courses in spite of this disability．More importantly, a student disclosure can show self-confidence, motivation and an understanding of the disability．
Q
—Ms．Kravis
My son is still very young but he has an expressive language disorder．It took more than two years of speech therapy for him to be able to learn to speak at the same level as his 2 years old brother．He is very smart, but he struggles with language．Unfortunately, many schools require four semesters of foreign language to get in or to graduate．Can these requirements ever be waived for someone like my son?
A
—Karla
The answer is yes．There are many colleges that do not require foreign language skills to enter or graduate．In the K&W Guide we provide information about college entrance requirements, course substitution or waiver policies, and college graduation requirements．The operative words in your post were “my son is still very young．” Learning is a process and is developmental and there are a number of years for your son between age 8 and age 18．Teach your son to find his passion, focus on his strengths and continue to remind him that he is “very smart,” and there will be options for us without foreign language．
—Ms．Kravis

You can tell a lot about a person from the clothes they wear, but you can also tell a lot about a person simply from the handbags they carry．It's hard to believe, but you can find out a number of things about a woman's personality just by looking at the type of handbag she sports．Below you will find a number of handbag styles and colors as well as what each specific type of handbag says about the owner．
Styles:
Under the Shoulder – Handbags which are smaller and fit tightly underneath the shoulder indicate class and sophistication．A women working in an upscale office or someone of high stature would choose this form of handbag．
Big and Bulky – Big, bulky and oversized bags are casual and are often associated with younger individuals．These are used for individuals who carry a number of things （binders, books etc） and require a lot of space．Down-to-earth, lower-maintenance women would carry this type of handbag．
Designer – Designer handbags often cost an arm and a leg and therefore are usually associated with high-maintenance females．Females who are confident and require top of the line accessories will settle for nothing less than a name-brand designer purse．Guys – watch out for these girls, they tend to be a handful．
Cigar Box Purses – A women who carries a cigar box purse likes to be unique and stand out from the crowd．These women have minds of their own and cannot be told what to do．They are comfortable in their own skin and tend to be very independent．
Leather with Buckles and Zippers – Women who choose leather purses with lots of buckles and zippers are leashing out their wild sides．These women tend to act before they think and are always ready for a good time．The extra buckles and zippers tend to signify a "bad girl" image．
Colors:
Bright Colors – Bright colored handbags like pink, purple, bright blue and green indicate that the woman is fun, friendly and approachable．Women who are out-going and sociable will tend to choose these colors．This is the type of woman who will strike up a conversation with a complete stranger．
Black and Brown – Women who choose black or brown handbags tend to be more formal in manners and are often mistaken as being snobby or restricted．These types of handbags are often associated with down-to-earth women, who are shy at first, but open up after a while．They tend to exude a shy confidence, which is sometimes mistaken as someone who thinks she's better than others．
The style and color of your handbag says a lot about you．Choose your handbag very carefully and remember you can choose more than one style．You may feel like being reserved one day and the center of attention another…it's natural to want different things in life．

SAN FRANCISCO—A phone app（应用程序）in San Francisco gives information about open parking spots．City officials in San Francisco introduced the app to try to reduce traffic jams in the city, but some say it raises safety concerns．
In this city, drivers searching for parking spots lead to 30 percent of all downtown jams, city officials think．Now San Francisco has found a solution — a phone app for spot-seekers that displays information about areas with available spaces．The system, introduced last month, relies on wireless sensors（感应器）fixed in streets and city garages that can tell within seconds if a spot has opened up．
Monique Soltani, a TV reporter, said she and her sister spent 25 minutes on Friday trying to park．“We were praying to the parking god that we’d find a spot,” she said．“If we had the app, we would not have to pray to the parking god．” But the system could come with serious consequences．
Some people say that drivers searching for parking could end up focusing on their phones, not the road．“It could be really distracting（使分心的）,” said Daniel Simons, a professor of psychology at the University of Illinois．
City officials acknowledge the potential problem．They are urging drivers to pull over before they use the city’s iPhone app, or to do so before they leave home．Nathaniel Ford, executive director of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, said safety could actually improve if drivers quickly found a spot instead of circling and getting frustrated．
San Francisco has put sensors into 7,000 parking spots and 12,250 spots in city garages
