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）With all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, it's not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling down in the dump, makes me feel good and warms my heart.
How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker, neighbor, close friends, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don't know the person I'm joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is common courtesy(礼貌)to speak to others that are around you.
I know of a few people that don’t have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the s lightest smile on their face. They don't get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke?
Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to ignore the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.
1、What is the author’s attitude towards the present world?
A．Satisfied B．Positive
C．Critical D．Indifferent
2、The phrase “busting a gut" in the third paragraph can be replaced by .
A．explaining carefully B．speaking loud
C．keeping silent D．laughing hard
3、According to the author, humor is useful in the aspect that .
A．it makes people more confident
B．it can help get rid of the cruelty in the world
C．it can pick up people’s spirits
D．it can help people get on well with others
4、In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to .
A．introduce a practical way to get through daily life
B．encourage people to be humorous in daily life
C．convince people of the power of humour
D．talk about his own understanding of humor

23．（8分）The morning she left for Camp Kanawa, Maria awoke with an ache in her stomach. She had gone on plenty of parties. She ’ d even spent a whole weekend at Aunt Jolie and Uncle Ed ’ s. So what happened to her?
No breakfast today, she thought, imagining the ache turning into throwing up and a horrible road trip after a full meal. As usual, Maria felt hungry as soon as the room smelled of French toast. On the other hand, maybe a good breakfast was exactly what she needed.
“There’ s my big camper!’’ said her mom. Then, she walked to the stove, placed two pieces of French toast on a plate and powdered sugar snowing down. “Just like you like it. ’’ At the meanwhile, Maria was already in position, armed with knife, fork, napkin and full glass of milk.
‘‘Get started while it ’ s hot. Your father ’ s coming down in a minute. I told him to shave. Don’t want the bear—I mean, the bushy black beard.，?
“Okay，okay，” Maria’s dad said with a smile. “Clean as a whistle. Just like you ordered. ”
“ Really?” Maria ’ s mom shrugged (耸肩）•
“ I think it ’ s fashionable，” Maria said，dipping a bite in some syrup (糖楽）.
“Well，your old man is fashionable，，’ her dad said, moving his head the way he did when he wanted to look like a cool surfer man but looked more like an Egyptian robot. “ In fact，I was the most popular kid at my camp.，’
“For the record，it was a science camp，，’ Maria’s mother reminded her, looking her straight in the eyes. “In all seriousness, Maria, popularity is not important and finding the people who like you for you—that ’ s what matters. ”
“Your mom speaks the truth, Sugar,” said Maria’ s dad，wiping his thick beard with a napkin. “Just be yourself. You’ 11 definitely enjoy it.

24．（8分）My grandmother Rosalind Einhorn was born exactly fifty-two year’s before I was, on August 28, 1917. Like many poor Jewish families in New York City, hers lived in a small, crowded apartment close to their relatives. Her parents, aunts, and uncles addressed her male cousins by their given names, but she and her sister were referred to only as “Girlie”.
During the Depression my grandmother was pulled out of Morris High School to help support the household by sewing fabric flowers onto undergarments that her mother could resell for a tiny profit. No one in the community would have considered taking a boy out of school. A boy’s edocation was the family’s hope to move up the financial and social ladder. Education for girls, however, was less significant both financially, since they were unlikely to contribute to the family’s income, and culturally, since boys were expected to study the Torah while girls were expected to run a “proper home?!” Luckily for my grandmother, a local teacher insisted that her parents put her back into school. She went on not only to finish high school but to graduate from U.C Berkeley.
After college, “Girlie” worked selling pocketbooks and accessories at David’s Fifth Avenue. When she left her job to marry my grandfather, David’s had to hire four people to replace her. Years later, when my grandfathers paint business was struggling, she jumped in and looked some of the hard steps he was reluctant to take, helping to save the family from financial ruin. She displayed her business ability again in her forties. After being diagnosed (诊断) with breast cancer, she beat it and then devoted herself to raising money for the clinic that treated her by selling some watches. Girlie ended up with a profit that Apple would envy. I have never met anyone with more energy and determination than my grandmother.
When my grandmother had children of her own—my mother and her two brothers—she emphasized education for all of them. My mother attended the University of Pennsylvania. When she graduated in 1965 with a degree in French literature, she surveyed a workforce that she believed consisted of two career options for women: teaching or nursing. She chose teaching. She began a Ph. D．programme, got married, and then dropped out when she became pregnant with me. It was thought to be a sign of weakness if a husband needed his wife’s help to support their family, so my mother became a stay-at-home parent and an active volunteer. The centuries-old division of labour stood.
Even though I grew up in a traditional home, my parents had the same expectations for me. My sister, and my brother, all three of us were encouraged to do well in school, do equal routine tasks, and participate in after-school activities. We were all supposed to be athletic too. My brother and sister joined sports teams, but I was the kid who got picked last in gym. Despite my athletic shortcomings, I was raised to believe that girls could do anything boys could do and that all career paths were open to me.
When I arrived at college in the fall of 1987, my classmates of both genders seemed equally focused on academics. I don’t remember thinking about my future career differently from the male students. I also don’t remember any conversations about someday balancing work and children. My friends and I assumed that we would have both. Men and women competed openly and aggressively with one another in classes, activities, and job interviews. Just two generations removed from my grandmother, the playing field seemed to be level.
But more than twenty years after my college graduation, the world has not evolved nearly as much as I believed it would. Almost all of my male classmates work in professional settings. Some of my female classmates work full-time or part-time outside the home, and just as many are stay-at-home mothers and volunteers like my mom. This mirrors the national trend. In comparison to their male counterparts (相同能力者), highly trained women are scaling back and drop
