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）Life is not always easy. One day you wake up feeling like you can take over the world, and the next day you wake up feeling like all you want to do is to lie in bed and hide from everything.
People walk into your life, grab your hand, and lead you through the most beautiful path you’ve known, but sometimes the same people let go of your hand without warning, and you become stranded at a place where you never thought you’d feel lost.
Let’s be honest, sometimes everything is going so great and it seems like nothing could go wrong, but right when you begin to think that, something so horrible comes crashing down and all of a sudden more problems come drowning around you and you just feel so hopeless because it’s so bad…
It’s so hard to understand why such things happen in life, and I personally wish I had an answer to that “why” you always ask yourself, but all I can say is no matter how hard life gets, you have to keep going. The life around you will never stop going on.
I’ll be honest and say that sometimes I feel a little bit worried and all I can think is “Will I be able to keep up? What if everything goes too fast?” But I realize that being scared and living with that burden of running away from problems only slow me down even more.
And I’ve come to the point where I believe that because life never stops, I shouldn’t stop either. It’s okay to take a break and to give yourself time to heal, but you cannot give up and you cannot quit.
Keep positive, fill your heart with gratitude for what you already have, and always remind yourself to be humble and true to who you are!
1、How does the author illustrate “Life is not always easy”?
A．By making comparisons B．By using some famous sayings
C．By presenting his own experience D．By listing statistics
2、According to the author, it is to try running away from problems.
A．pointless B．reasonable
C．helpful D．considerate
3、Which saying can exhibit the author’s attitude towards life?
A．Save against a rainy day.
B．Constant dripping wears away the stone.
C．A good medicine tastes bitter.
D．Think it over before you leap

23．（8分） Kincaid looked at his watch: eight-seventeen. The truck started on the second try, and he backed out, shifted gears, and moved slowly down the alley under hazy sun. Through the streets of Bellingham he went, heading south on Washington 11, running along the coast of Puget Sound for a few miles, then following the highway as it swung east a little before meeting U.S Route 20.
Turning into the sun, he began the long, winding drive through the Cascades. He liked this country and felt unpressed stopping now and then to make notes about interesting possibilities for future expeditions or to shoot what he called “memory snapshots.” The purpose of these causal photographs was to remind him of places he might want to visit again and approach more seriously. In later afternoon he turned north at Spokane, picking up U.S. Route 2, which would take him halfway across the northern United States to Duluth, Minnesota.
He wished for the thousandth time in his life that he had a dog, a golden retriever, maybe ,for travels like this and to keep him company at home. But he was frequently away; overseas much of the time and it would not be fair to the animal. Still, he thought about it anyway. In a few years he would be getting too old for the hard fieldwork. “I must get a dog then.” He said to himself.
Drives like this always put him into a sentimental mood. The dog was part of it. Robert Kincaid was alone as it’s possible to be—an only child, parents both dead, distant relatives who had lost track of him and he of them, no close friends.
He thought about Marian. She had left him nine years ago after five years of marriage. He was fifty-two now, that would make her just under forty. Marian had dreams of becoming a musician, a folksinger. She knew all of the Weavers’ songs and sang them pretty well in the coffeehouse of Seattle. When he was home in the old days, he drove her to the shows and sat in the audience while she sang.
His long absences—two or three months sometimes—were hard on the marriage. He knew that. She was aware of what he did when they decided to get married, and both of them had a vague sense that it could all be handled somehow. It couldn’t when he came from photographing a story in Iceland and she was gone. The note read, “Robert, it didn’t work out. I left you the Harmony guitar. Stay in touch.”
He didn’t stay in touch. Neither did she. He signed the divorce papers when they arrived a year later and caught a plane for Australia the next day. She had asked for nothing except her freedom.
1、Which route is the right one taken by Kincaid?
A．Bellingham—Washington 11—Puget Sound—U.S Route 20—U.S Route 2—Duluth
B．U.S. Route 2—Bellingham—Washington 11—Puget Sound—U.S Route 20—Duluth
C．U.S. Route 2—U.S Route 20—Duluth –Bellingham—Washington 11
D．Bellingham—Washington 11—U.S. Route 2—U.S Route 20—Duluth
2、Which statement is true according to the passage?
A．Kincaid’s parents were dead and he only kept in touch with some distant relatives.
B．Kincaid would have had a dog if he hadn’t been away from home too much.
C．Kincaid used to have a golden retriever.
D．Kincaid needed a dog in doing his hard fieldwork.
3、Why did Kincaid stop to take photos while driving?
A．To write “memory snapshots”
B．To remind himself of places he might want to visit again.
C．To avoid forgetting the way back.
D．To shoot beautiful scenery along the road.
4、What can you know about Marian?
A．She died after five years of marriage.
B．She was older than Kincaid.
C．She could sing very well and earned big money.
D．She was not a professional pop singer.
5、We can draw a conclusion from the passage that ________.
A．Marian knew what would happen before she married Kincaid.
B．Kincaid thought his absence would be a problem when he married Marian.
C．It turned out that Marian could not stand Kincaid’s absence and left him.
D．After Marian left him, they still kept in touch with each other.
24．（8分）Bill Gates recently has predicted that online learning will make place-based colleges less significant, and five years from now, students will be able to find the best lectures in the world online. I applaud Mr. Gates. But what’s taking us so long?
As early as 1997, MIT(麻省理工) decided to post videos of all university lectures online, for free, for all people. But today, how many students have you met who mastered advanced mathematics or nuclear physics from an MIT online video? Unfortunately, the answer is not many. The problem is the poor quality of online education websites and the experience they provide to students. Those who go to the MIT website and watch courses online are surely very smart people, but it’s not like playing a video game such as World of Warcraft. Only the most ardent students, those who are highly motivated, will devote themselves to studying these boring online videos.
The real question is why we aren’t spending more to develop better online education platforms. Where is the Avatar of education? Think about this. The market for Hollywood films per year is worth around 30 billion USD．Education in the world is a trillion-dollar-a-year market, hundreds of times bigger than Hollywood movies. Yet the most expensive digital learning system ever built cost well under 100 million dollars.
Bill Gates’ prediction is going to happen. There is no doubt about it. But it will only happen when we create high level educational content and experiences that engage and excite more than has ever been possible in the real world.
1、What has Bill Gates forecast about online learning?
A．It will concentrate on physics lectures
B．It will completely replace real universities
C．It will help to make universities more successful
D．It will play an increasingly important role in education
2、What does the underlined word “ardent” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Creative B．Enthusiastic
C．Well-behaved D．Experienced
3、According to the author, what is holding back the popularity of online learning?
A．The lack of lectures available online
B．The high cost of access to the websites
C．The low standard of educational websites
D．The competition with online computer games
4、Why does the author mention Hollywood?
A．To show that Hollywood produces many successful movies
B．To prove that education is more profitable than entertainment
C．To argue that movie directors should produce educational content
D．To
