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
When you’re choosing a college, a lot of factors probably may be considered: the school’s reputation, the classes offered, and the professors in your major, to name a few. However, considering the increasing competitiveness of universities to attract more and more applicants, many schools now offer extra benefits to be enjoyed by all of their students. Here are some of the coolest:
University of Missouri
When you think of a campus gym, you probably picture a room equipped with old weights and out-of-date machines. However, at the University of Missouri, you can enjoy one of the best campus fitness centers in the country. It features an “indoor beach” complete with a waterfall and a lazy river, as well as a full-service spa. Even if you don’t normally enjoy working out, Missouri’s fitness center will give you a reason to go to the gym.
High Point University
If you see yourself quickly tired of dining hall food—something that happens to almost all of us—High Point University in North Carolina has a great option for you: a private steakhouse for students. It’s a first-class restaurant, and, best of all, you don’t have to pay for the meal out of your own pocket. You can use your dining dollars instead.
Seton Hall University
If you’re stressing out about the extra cost of technology when you start college, Seton Hall has great news for you: all freshmen are given free laptops through the university’s Mobile Computing Program. As a freshman, you’ll receive a laptop already set up with all of the software that you’ll need as a student. Then, after two years, you’ll receive a new and updated laptop designed to carry to through until after you graduate.
New York University
If you’re a fan of museums, NYU(New York University) is the perfect university for you: not only are you located in the heart of a city featuring some of the best museums in the world, but the university will even provide you with free admission to many of them. You can take advantage of visiting free museums at any time you want—and you’ll never be bored on the weekends.
1、What can we learn from Paragraph1?
A．It is hard to be admitted to a university.
B．A university’s fame is the top consideration.
C．The competition to attract applicants is fierce.
D．Extra benefits makes no difference to applicants.
2、What can we learn about the fitness center in the University of Missouri?

D．Museums are usually closed on the weekends.

B
As the morning school bell rings and students rush in, teenagers in one classroom settle onto mats and meditation（冥想）pillows. They fall silent after the teacher taps a “singing bow”.
These students are in a for-credit, year-long mindfulness class, which is meant to ease youth anxiety and depression and to prevent violence. For 90 minutes, three days a week, they practice a mix of yoga, sitting, and walking meditation, deep breathing, journaling, and non-judgmental listening.
Yoga and meditation have gained popularity among Americans in recent decades，supported by studies showing benefits to emotional, mental, and physical health. The centuries-old practices have roots in eastern religions, but Western culture has long focused on physical postures, breathing, and relaxation techniques.
Some people have greeted the move with less than enthusiasm. Last year, an elementary school in Ohio ended its mindfulness program after parents complained it was too closely linked to religion. But many school districts are reporting success. In Richmond, California, schools have reported drops in school problems among low-income, at-risk youths. The school district in South Burlington, Vermont, introduced a successful mindfulness course as part of a health and wellness program, and now administrators there have advocated mindfulness into K-12 curriculums.
Two years ago, Caverly Morgan developed the after-school mindfulness program teamed up with Allyson Copacino，who teaches yoga. After hundreds of students signed up, Principal Brian Chatard took note. The school was dealing with a student’s suicide, and few resources were available to address students’ emotional and mental health.
“High school is the hardest period of time for kids,” Mr. Chatard said. “You’ve got emotional changes, physical changes, and all the social pressures. It’s also the onset of mental illness for some kids, depression hits, and there’s the pressure of college and sports. All these things kids do is over¬whelming without having a strategy (策略）to deal with it.” And now schools all over the country are introducing the practices.
1、What do Western people value more about yoga and meditation?
A．Non-judgmental listening.
B．Religious meaning.
C．Journaling.
D．Physical benefits.
2、What can we infer about the mindfulness class?
A．It is supported by parents.
B．It relives pressure of students.
C．It mainly builds students up physically.
D．It improves students’ academic performance.
3、Who started the mindfulness class?
A．Administrators.
B．Brian Chatard.
C．Caverly Morgan.
D．Allyson Copacino.
4、What is Mr. Chatard’s attitude towards the program?
A．Supportive.
B．Concerned.
C．Doubtful.
D．Reserved.
