第二部分 阅读理解（满分20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
We have some friends who seem as if they understand and appreciate you, but really they might not. A girl named Nevaeh was about to find a friend that she thought understood her, but she actually didn't.
When Nevaeh was in kindergarten she didn't have friends. Every time she wanted to make some they would just walk away. That happened until she went to the third grade when a girl named Brooke said hello to her.
Nevaeh, a shy girl, didn’t answer. Since Nevaeh had no friends to talk to, her mouth would close up. After knowing Nevaeh was shy and needed friends, Brooke wouldn't leave Nevaeh s side and always talked to her. Nevaeh started talking more and was less shy. Once Brooke took her to her friends. There were only three girls, Karla, Mariana, and Isela, but Nevaeh was fine with it. At least she had friends.
They got along very well and had a few things in common. When they were finally in middle school, Brooke and Nevaeh became best friends, but as they got older, they changed. When Nevaeh changed the way she looked and acted, Brooke didn't like it. Brooke startled to judge her, and make her wear stuff that she didn’t like. They had arguments about the wav Nevaeh wanted to look, and how Brooke didn't like what she wore.
Nevaeh wasn’t sure if she could really trust Brooke anymore. That was until she met Susan who understood Nevaeh and didn’t judge her by her looks, but had the same interests as Nevaeh. They liked to dress in the same kinds of things and had similar hobbies.
Nevaeh really liked Susan because she never judged her. When they were talking about their interests it was like they had known each other for a long lime.
Nevaeh was still friends with the other girls, and was happy that she finally had someone that understood her and appreciated her.
1、What does the underlined word "she” in the first paragraph refer to?
A．Susan. B．Karla.
C．Brooke. D．Nevaeh.
2、Why did Nevaeh have no friends in kindergarten?
A．She didn't want friends B．She wasn’t accepted by others.
3、How did Nevaeh react to Brooke's judgment on her?
A．She rejected it. B．She tolerated it.
C．She corrected it. D．She appreciated it.
4、What was Susan like according to the text?
A．Brave and helpful. B．Smart and humorous.
C．Sincere and supportive. D．Clever and hard-working.

B
A primary school in Hangzhou said on Monday it’s pulling a sex education textbook over complaints after gaining recent international attention for both its progressive approach and its graphic content.
Controversy sparked after a mother of a second-grader at the school posted about the textbook on Sina Weibo on February 28, complaining the book contained overly-graphic illustrations of reproductive(生殖的)organs.
The book, published by Beijing Normal University, aims for students aged 6 to13. It had been used in schools for nearly a decade before the recent round of controversy.
In China, sex education often faces resistance, especially from the older generation of parents who used to tell their children that babies were picked up in streets or jumped out from rocks. China’s sex education is considered conservative and schools usually try to avoid the subject, leaving the responsibility to parents or society. Nowadays, the frank description of sexual behavior in a recently-released sex education textbook for primary school students in the city has triggered a wave of parental concern. Is the sex education textbook truly too clearly expressed?
Some people hold that the sex education book should be detailed. Sex education is an important way of teaching children knowing themselves, so we cannot ambiguous words describing the sex. On the other hand, adults see dirty things in the books while students may not. They see things in a different way and we should not judge the books from our perspective. There is no need to avoid sex in education.
Others do not agree. They think it is not wrong to describe sex in direct ways, but the sentences in the book are too rude and are even banned from our website. The wording should be more tender and beautiful in books for children.
As far as I can see, we should be more careful about the sensitive topic, sex education. Different methods should be applied to children of different age groups. We can tell more details about sex to the older children, because they can accept it smoothly, and give more pictures, or tender words to the younger ones.
1、Why did the elder generation use to lie about where kids came from?
A．Because they were innocent and had no idea about that
B．Because they were not open-minded and didn’t want their kids to be exposed to sex too early
C．Because sex was so private that they felt shameful when telling the truth
D．Because they didn’t want to go against schools, who usually tried to avoid the subject
2、Which of the following statements does not agree with the original text?
A．Recently, the sex education book mentioned above has become a global concern.
B．Parents criticize the direct ways the sex education book adopted to describe sex
C．People divide their opinions on whether sex education is necessary or not
D．It’s not the first time the sex education book mentioned has been used in schools
3、What can we infer from the text?
A．There was no debate over the sex education book before the recent round controversy
B．According to the supporters, parents should put themselves in their children’s shoes when dealing with the sex education book
C．Different methods should be used on children of different age groups
D．Sex education is so sensitive a topic that the writer can hardly bring forward any advice
4、Which of the following words is the nearest in meaning to the underlined word “progressive” in the first paragraph?
A．Rewarding B．Strange
C．Reasonable D．Advanced
