第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节 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（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
A
Dear Mayor,
I would like to draw your attention to the depressing state of the environment in our city. Increased vehicles have made the air polluted. Citizens find it difficult to breathe. Dumping harmful chemicals into the river has polluted the drinking water and ground water.
All of us, as concerned citizens, have discussed these problems in various meetings. We have come up with the following proposals.
The green roads are no longer green. Many trees and bushes have been cut. We propose restricting the movement of vehicles. Besides, we should make it compulsory（强制性的）to use anti-pollution devices on all vehicles. We should also plant more plants and trees along roads.
The Bada Nadi River has become a dumping ground of harmful chemicals from some factories. These harmful chemicals have killed nearly all the life in the river and polluted our drinking water and ground water. We propose that the Bada Nadi River be declared a protected water body. All the dumping should be banned and heavy fine should be imposed on the offenders（违法者）. To tackle the problem of managing harmful waste, we propose setting up a water treatment plant so that only clean water is discharged into the river. Cleaning up the river and introducing various fishes and plants to the river will bring it back to life.
Lastly, the noise pollution caused by honking（鸣）horns and blaring loudspeakers has caused distress to one and all. Many people have suffered from noise-related illnesses. We propose a blanket ban on the use of loudspeakers. And“no horn zones”should also be declared in residential hospitals and school areas.
I would request you to seriously consider our proposals and act accordingly.
Thank you!
Sincerely yours,
A kind-hearted citizen

Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
During the hours when you labour through your work, you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people that peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues （自言自语）as “Get up , John ! You’ll be late for work again !” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature—and —energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can make your life fit it better. Habit can help. Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract （打乱）your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to . If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle , but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point .
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a yawn and stretch . Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy for your sharper hours .
28. Which of the following causes family quarrels?
A. Not knowing each other’s energy cycle.
B. Familiar monologues.
C. A change in a family member’s energy cycle.
D. Attempts to control the energy of other family members
29. If you want to work better at your low point in the morning, you should .
A. change your energy cycle B. overcome your laziness
C. get up early than usual D. go to bed earlier
30. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will .
A. help to keep your energy for the day’s work
B. help you to control your temper early in the day
C. enable you to get your energy on your routine work
D. keep your energy cycle under control all day
31. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Change Your Habits B. Save Your Energy
C. Daily Energy Cycle D. Temperature—and—Energy Peak
D
Have you heard of the saying, “If anything is worth doing, it is worth doing well”? The proverb is a piece of advice to make effects towards perfection in whichever job one does. It could be a small task like folding up your clothes, or a major one like organizing a business meeting in your later life.
Perfection just needs paying attention to details. If it is your job to dust the furniture at home, dust it so that not a single spot of dirt shows from any direction. If your task is to make the beds, make them so that not a single crease shows on the bed-covers.
There are only two ways to do a job: either sloppily, or well. If you choose the latter, you need to realize that any job that qualifies as “your” work deserves your best. Perfection is an attitude that can be developed with just a little effect. It is a habit that is helpful to a person in later life. Let us prove with an example: you may be asked to turn in an essay on, for example, wildlife, for a school project. Instead of writing carelessly a few facts that you already know, you could make the project more effective by looking up a reference books, encyclopedias（百科全书）or websites for additional information. You could then go over the finished essay for slips and errors, and provide pictures where necessary. If you make it a habit to put in extra effort in your school homework, will it not help you to handle more difficult projects at the college or university level?
As Michelangelo, the famous 16th century sculptor and painter, once put it: Trifles（琐事）go to make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
32. According to the passage, to achieve perfection is _______.
A. to realize the quality of the work[来源:学。科。网Z。X。X。K]
B. to pay attention to details of one’s work
C. to do as many jobs as possible
D. to form the habit of doing things ahead of time
33. The underlined word “sloppily” in paragraph 3 may mean _______
A. slowly B. patiently C. carefully D. badly
34. What can be inferred from the third paragraph?
A. Perfection is a habit that promises a good future.
B. Websites are the sources of information you want.
C. It is necessary to provide pictures for your essay.
D. You should make much effort to develop perfection.
35. The purpose of writing this passage is to _______.
A. introduce the famous painter Michelangelo
B. expect us to give our best to our work
C. explain to us the meaning of the perfection
D. advise us to do the things that are worth doing
第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分)
根据短文内容从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you are hungry, what do you do? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that.__ 36__   But it never lets you know，because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars. So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow. When mind loses its freedom to grow，creativity gets a full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think "What happens next?""Why can’t I think?"
  __37__ Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood. Since it develops other aspects of our life，we have to get help from reading.
Once you read a book，you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you.__38__ Now this seed is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas. If it is used many times，the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!
This is nothing but creativity. __39__ Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words.
So guys, do give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. __40__  Go and get a book!
A．The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed.
B．Why not do some reading while you are hungry?
C．Just like your stomach, your mind is also hungry.
D．Now what are you waiting for?
E．Hunger of the mind can be actually solved through wide reading.
F．Reading can help you make more friends, too.
G．Also this makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary.
