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）On the eastern side of the Arabian Peninsula, the desert turns green as clouds cover it like a blanket. This is the country of Oman’s monsoon(季风)season. The natural event, which lasts for three months, draws hundreds of thousands of tourists with cool weather and beautiful views. It began this year on June 21.
A 60-year-festival, in Oman’s Dhofar area, draws about 50,000 people dressed in all kinds of clothes every night for dance competitions, musical performances and exorcisms(驱魔). In the middle of the clouds, people celebrate Oman’s diverse culture of Arab, African and Asian roots.
Officials in Dhofar started the monsoon festival in 1998. “The monsoon festival now draws performers from 40 countries,” said festival director Talal al-Massahli. He added that 60 percent of the visitors come from Oman, while the rest come from nearby countries such as Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
Salem Ashoor, leader of the local Ahmad al-Kabir Sufi order, said various(各种)groups use the festival to share their cultures. The Sufi order for example, performed a musical exorcism in front of almost 500 people.
Khalid al-Najar is a weather expert. He explains that the mountains around Salalah, Dhofar’s capital city, trap wetness from the Indian Ocean monsoon. Air pressure pockets above Saudi Arabia and Tibet drive air currents(气流)to Oman. These weather currents create a unique(独特的)environment, which has heavy fogs and green mountains and coasts.
Thomas Wagmann, on holiday from Dubai, said, “Compared to Dubai, this Dhofar area is wonderful because you can be outdoors all the time. You don’t even have to worry about sunburn because there’s no sun.”
1、What does the underlined word “diverse” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Active B．Different C．Amazing D．Merry
2、What can visitors enjoy when watching the performance of various groups?
A．Different cultures B．Fairy stories
C．Fashion shows D．Local music and dances
3、What did Khalid al-Najar mainly talk about?
A．The beautiful natural scenery of Oman
B．The reason why tourists come to Oman
C．The Oman’s special geographic position
D．The cause of Oman’s unique climate during the festival
4、What did Thomas Wagmann like about Dhofar?
A．The same weather as Dubai B．The beauty of the country
C．Its sunless weather D．Its sunny climate
22．（8分）We humans spend about one-third of life asleep. Sleep helps us stay healthy, and it also helps our brain remember. Our brains need good sleep to remember what we do and learn during the other two thirds of our life when we are awake. Besides keeping us healthy, some new research shows that a good night’s sleep helps make us more intelligent.
Researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have found that sleep helps improve brain performance by shrinking synapses in the brain. A synapse is the area where cells pass messages to other cells.
Cirelli is a leading scientist at the school’s Center for Sleep and Consciousness. She found that sleep is when the human brain mixes information it has learned while awake into its general collection of knowledge. However, the brain forgets unimportant details. This forgetting is important. It makes space for new learning and new memories.
Cirelli said that the Center’s research began with this hypothesis: We sleep so that our brain can repair and refresh itself. She said the idea seems simple and reasonable. However, testing and discovering how it works has been extremely difficult. Cirelli and Center director Giulio Tononi have been trying to prove the connection between sleep and the brain’s synapses since 2003. Cirelli said the researchers knew that “stronger synapses are also bigger.” So, they began their study by “measuring the size of the synapses” in the brain.
They also knew that during sleep, the brain checks on all its synapses and resets itself for the next day. The team wanted to see if the synapses of the brain are bigger after being awake all day and smaller after a good night’s sleep. Synapses are only about 20-40 nanometers wide. So, the team looked for changes in these already tiny spaces between nerve cells. The team had lo wail until improvements in laboratory technology made it possible to see these tiny changes.
Cirelli says they found that synapse size and strength are upset by being awake and restored by sleeping. She says our synapses shrink as our brains clean themselves during sleep. We wake up refreshed and ready to fill those synapses with new information.
1、Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．Sleep can only keep us healthy.
B．Sleep can help our brain function better.
C．Sleep can mix all the information.
D．Sleep can take up two-thirds of our life.
2、What does it refer to in Paragraph 4?
A．The measuring the size of the synapses.
B．The space for new learning and new memories.
C．The way our brain can repair and refresh itself.
D．The connection between sleep and the brain’s synapses.
23．（8分）It seemed like a typical November day, a month after my grandmother had passed away. I was frustrated by everything that was going on around me.
I was mad and confused about everyone especially when I saw a young girl walking through the store holding her grandmother’s hand. The little girl was begging her grandmother for ice cream just like I used to when I was young. I was jealous of the little girl, because she had something I didn’t have anymore — a grandmother by her side.
I had to force myself to ignore the little girl. She was just too happy for me and that was unacceptable at that time in my world.
I went to the cash register to pay for my things. It was then that my anger quickly shifted from the little girl to the cashier. She took my things to another register. When the cashier gave me my change I didn’t say thank you. I simply took my change and left.
Feeling tired and hopeless, I began walking to my car. As I stood in a public parking lot a million questions formed in my mind. Why did this happen to me? Aren’t we supposed to get signs from the people that passed on? Why didn’t I feel her presence anymore?
Suddenly, a woman driving right by my side rolled down her window. “Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me,” she said loudly. Thinking she was going to ask for my parking spot, I simply pointed to my car. “No, excuse me,” she said again.
Then I felt I had no choice but to see what this annoying lady wanted. She reached to the very bottom of her bag and handed me a three-page booklet. “It looks like that you need this,” she said calmly with a smile on her face.
I looked down at the used booklet and there were some big bold letters on the front cover reading, “What Hope for Dead Loved Ones?” By the time I looked up she had gone.
I felt a sense of relaxation as I read the first page. It explained how people pass on and that their spirit remains with us. It was the first time since my grandmother passed away that I had felt her with me. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but I knew that I finally felt happiness from a stranger.

A．She had her grandmother by her side.
B．She could ask her grandmother for some flowers.
C．She was walking with her grandfather.
D．She gave the booklets to the woman.
2、The woman driving right by the author’s side wanted to give the author _______.
A．some flowers B．a notebook

A．The woman became the author’s friend. B．The author was happy in the end.
C．The author was with her grandmother again. D．The author felt angry.
24．（8分）One of the main decisions you must make when traveling is deciding where to stay. A place to stay can often make or break a holiday. Whether you are looking for a classy hotel or a night under the stars, we can guide you through your different options.
Bed and Breakfast
An English invention, bed and breakfasts, offers exactly what they suggest, a bed for the night and breakfast in the morning. “B&Bs”，are usually someone’s private home, often found in the countryside.
Hostels
For those traveling on a tight budget, hostels are the best accommodation option. Informal places usually with a lovely relaxed atmosphere, they offer dormitory beds for rent. Bathrooms are usually down the hall.
Remember to check reviews by previous guests online before you book your hostel.
Couch Surfing
An unusual but interesting option, couch(沙发) surfing is a growing trend among young internationals. The idea is that you become a member of the online couch-surfing community (www. couchsurfing. com) and then when you travel, look up other members in that country and ask to stay on their couch. Most hosts will suggest sightseeing trips and take you out in the evening, making it a great way to see things that aren’t in your guidebook. And remember, it may be free but don't forget to offer to buy your host a drink or dinner.
Camping
Sleeping under the stars! For budget travelers staying at camping grounds is the cheapest way to travel. The drawback is having to carry a tent with you. Camping grounds can be found across Europe, America and Australia. However, if you intend on camping in busy cities check first where the nearest place for camping is. More often than not, they are on the edge of cities, which can mean lengthy bus rides into town when you want to eat or see the sights.
1、What will hostels provide for budget travelers?
A．A positive experience. B．Dormitory beds for sale.
C．Reviews by previous guests. D．Beds and private bathrooms.
2、What is the advantage of couch surfing?
A．You can have a couch to sleep on. B．You don’t have to pay any money.
C．You can explore the nightlife there. D．The host will share the expense with you.
3、What is the disadvantage of camping?
A．Sleeping in the open air. B．Taking some extra articles.

C．They offer you good reviews. D．They offer you nice views.
25．（10分） Have you ever wondered why you sometimes take an almost immediate liking to a person you have just met? We often get the first impression of a person based on the color of a person’s skin or the manner in which he or she dressed. Meaning is conveyed not only by words or verbal languages but also by nonverbal communication systems, such as body behaviors.
Nonverbal communication is important because we use the actions of others to learn about their affective emotional states .Our emotions are reflected in our posture, face, and eyes—be it fear, joy, anger, or sadness—so we can express them without ever saying a word .For this reason, most of us rely heavily on what we learn through our eyes.
Nonverbal communication is significant in human interaction because it is usually responsible for the first impressions. More importantly, those first messages usually influence the perception(感知) of everything else that follows. Even how we select friends and sexual partners is grounded in first impressions with nonverbal communication.
Nonverbal communication is important because it is culture-related. It is based on different beliefs, religions, values and customs in different cultures. When, where, how, and to whom people display his or her specific nonverbal behaviors is greatly affected by culture and context. Culture determines what the appropriate nonverbal behavior is. For example, feelings
