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
Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.
My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.
I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.
I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.
1、Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule?
A．Start the car the moment everyone is seated.
B．Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.
C．Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.
D．Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.
2、The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ______.
A．meet her father who was already an old man
B．keep her appointment with the eye doctor
C．join in the holiday celebration of the company
D．finish her work before the deadline approached
3、The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A．wasted B．lacked
C．avoided D．abandoned
4、What is the best title for the passage?
A．The Two Saddest Words. B．The Emotional Well-being.
C．The Most Useful Rule. D．The Peace of Mind.

B
We human beings need to stay in touch with nature-many studies show how much better people feel when in sight of trees. Yet even more importantly，nature itself needs us to stay in touch. Many politicians and scientists have told us that we can "conquer" nature，but in reality nature will always be beyond our control---we do have the power to destroy it. The fate of all the animals and their habitats depends largely on our attitude towards them. Whether or not we ourselves survive depends on how well we look after the rest. For our sake as well as theirs，we need to consider it seriously.
But how can we care at all if we spend our lives indoors？Born in South London at the end of the Second World War，at least I knew what a sparrow was（they're rare now）and you couldn't put a spade into our tiny garden without cutting a worm in half. We knew，too，that milk comes from cows and that old men can grow amazing carrots on poor land. Ultra-urban（极度城市化）as we may have been，at least we were in touch.
"Now we have a generation who frankly are not in touch. So how can they care if the countryside is sold off to the highest bidders，and used to park helicopters，and our crops come free from Monsanto and our livestock live in factories？They will know no other way.
But if we settle for the ultra-urban life，if we allow all wilderness to be compromised and hand our farming over to industrial chemists then，quite simply，the world will fall apart--as it has been doing already. We have to rethink what agriculture is really for，and why conservation matters to us，as well as to other creatures. Changes of strategies begin with attitude and attitude begins with awareness.
1、Which of the following opinions will the author be for？
A．Technology will help humans control nature completely.
B．Conquering nature is the policy of human society.
C．Humans have to find a way to live in harmony with nature.
D．We will lose control of nature with the development of society.
2、The second paragraph is intended to tell us that city people in the past_____.
A．were in close touch with nature
B．managed to survive in the war
C．killed the worms in the earth cruelly
D．had a healthier diet than us
3、The new generation show no concern about the ultra-urban pattern just because _______
A．modern agriculture doesn't need hard work
B．high profits can be made by selling city land
C．they are cut off from nature
D．livestock living in factories are tastier
4、From the passage we can guess that Monsanto is likely to be____________
A．a chemical fertilizer plant
B．a scientist good at farming
C．a construction corporation
D．a big agricultural company
5、Towards the end of the passage，the author reminds us to_____________
A．move to the countryside
B．reflect on our past behaviors
C．leave space for wild animals
D．tum farms into big factories
