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）If you want to slow aging, you might want to eat less. This finding is good news---if you were a mouse. The researchers studied mice, not people.
John Price and other researchers studied two groups of mice. One group was able to eat as much as it wanted. The researchers limited what the mice in the other group ate. Their diet had 35 percent fewer calories than the first group of mice.
Price says the mice with the diet restrictions were ＂more energetic and suffered fewer disease.＂ They were not just living longer but seemed to stay younger for a longer period of time.
The researchers found that fewer calories slow down a natural mechanism in cells called ribosomes. Price explains that ribosomes are responsible for making important proteins in the cells. But with fewer calories, they slow down. This gives the cells more time to repair themselves.
The researchers say ribosomes use from 10 to 20 percent of the cell’s energy to make those proteins. Price wrote that ＂because of this, it is impractical to destroy an entire ribosome＂ when it starts to break down. However, ＂repairing individual parts of the ribosome on a regular basis enables ribosomes to continue producing high quality proteins for longer than they would otherwise. This top quality production, in turn, keeps cells and the entire body functioning well.＂
Price said, ＂ribosome is a very complex machine, like a car.＂ They need ＂maintenance to replace the parts that wear out the fastest. When tires wear out,＂ he explained, ＂you don’t throw the whole car away and buy a new one. It costs less to replace the old tires.＂
＂Food,＂ he said, ＂isn’t just material to be burned---it’s a signal that tells our body and cells how to respond.＂ Price said the findings help to explain how exactly our bodies age. And this may ＂help us make more educated decisions about what we eat.＂
1、What can we know about the mice with limited calories from the study?
A．They can keep healthy easily
B．They need more energy to be active
C．They can look younger than they are
D．They will live a longer life like humans
2、What will happen to ribosomes if there are fewer calories?
A．They will completely break down
B．They make proteins in the cells slowly
C．They will produce high quality proteins more
D．They may need more time to repair themselves
3、Price explained the ribosomes’ role of repairing themselves by _________.
A．telling a story B．listing basic data
C．making comparisons D．experimenting on mice
4、What does the text mainly deal with?
A．Food decides how long you live
B．Can you slow down your aging process?
C．Eating less may help you live longer
D．Should your diet be reduced for your health?
22．（8分） It is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather. Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr. Johnson’s famous comment that “When two English meet, their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnson’s observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators(评论员) fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-speak.
Bill Bryson, for example, concludes that, as the English weather is not at all exciting, the obsession with it can hardly be understood. He argues that” To an outsider, the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it.” Simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.
Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive. Bryson is wrong, he says, “because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena(现象).” The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.” According to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.
Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the English. Both commentators, somehow, are missing the point. The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. English weather-speak is a system of signs ,which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data. Rather, they are routine greetings, conversation starters or the blank “fillers”, In other words, English weather-speak is a means of social bonding.
1、The author mentions Dr. Johnson’s comment to show that________.
A．most commentators agree with Dr. Johnson
B．Dr. Johnson is famous for his weather observation
C．the comment was accurate two hundred years ago
D．English conversations usually start with the weather
2、What does the underlined word “obsession” most probably refer to?
A．A social trend. B．An emotional state.
C．A historical concept. D．An unknown phenomenon.
3、According to the passage, Jeremy Paxman believes that________.
A．Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weather
B．there is nothing special about the English weather
C．the English weather attracts people to the British Isles
D．English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty
4、What is the author’s main purpose of writing the passage?
A．To explain what English weather-speak is about.
B．To analyze misconceptions about the English weather.
C．To find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.
D．To convince people that the English weather is changeable.
23．（8分）Kung fu is one of a number of Chinese martial arts designed to improve the body and the mind. It is perhaps one of the most widely known martial arts, because many films include its techniques. There are hundreds of styles taught all over the world, although they can be loosely divided into two camps: Shaolin style kung fu, and other techniques, some of which have a history that outdates the Shaolin order.
Shaolin kung fix has its origins in the fifth century. Like some other martial arts, it began in religious temples, where the monks sought a mind and body discipline (训练方法). In addition to the fighting style, it also includes mental exercises and religious practices designed to balance the whole body.
Shaolin temples resembled universities, integrating a wide range of subjects of study. Therefore, traditional Shaolin styles such as Wing Chun, Crane, Praying Mantis, and Hung Gar took knowledge from fields outside martial arts, such as the healing arts and meditation. Supporters for Shaolin styles believe that they are more rounded martial arts styles, and that learners will benefit from them on a whole body level.
Other fighting styles, some of which predate the Shaolin style, are also lumped under the kung fu umbrella. They include Pa-Kua, Eagle Claw, and Eight Drunken Immortals styles. These disciplines are not considered to be Shaolin style because they did not originate in temples and are focused primarily on fighting techniques.
Whether Shaolin or otherwise, kung fu is characterized by self defense strategies that turn the energy of an attacker against him or her. Although the techniques may vary, most styles teach throws, kicks, punches, and the use of weapons. In addition to the physical discipline, most place a great importance on respect, honor, and living a balanced life.
1、What is the text mainly about?
A．The reason why kung fu is important.
B．The different styles of Shaolin kung fu.
C．The functions and branches of kung fu.
D．The differences between Shaolin style and others.
2、We can learn from the first paragraph that kung fu .
A．is good for people physically and mentally
B．has the longest history in Shaolin temples
C．is something that are taught in many films
D．has only two important styles left at present
3、Which of the following is true about Shaolin kung fu according to the text?
A．Shaolin kung fu was invented earlier than other styles.
B．Some Shaolin styles are connected with healing arts.
C．Wing Chun is not included in Shaolin Style kung fu,
D．Pa-Kua and Eagle Claw are under Shaolin Style umbrella.
4、What do most styles of kung fu have in common?
A．They all began in religious temples in China.
B．They teach physical skills instead of use of weapons.
C．They focus on attacking the enemy first with your energy.
D．They require learners to be respectful and honor themselves.
24．（8分）In a foreign country, a man visited a local restaurant. He didn’t speak their language. He ordered something indecipherable off the menu. When the waiter brought him a plate of delicious looking fried noodles, he smiled and made an OK sign at the waiter with his thumb and forefinger linked in a circle. Looking angry, the waiter then picked up the dish and thrown it to his lap. What he did wrong, he wondered. Well, nothing is quite as it seems when it comes to using hand gesture in another country.
Gestures have been used to replace words in many countries, and they are often specific to a given culture. Gesture may mean something complimentary in one culture, but is highly offensive in another.
The gesture “thumb-up” is commonly misinterpreted. In English, it is popularly known as ‘thumbs up’, despite the fact that the action is commonly performed with only one hand. English-speaking Caucasians use it to signal ‘OK’, which is the same meaning as O.K. ring gesture. The two can in fact be used almost interchangeably.
Avoid using this gesture in Southern Sardina or Northern Greece unless you want to invite a fight. While American, British and Australian would use the thumb up to signal hitch-hiking to the drivers, this message will not encourage a Greek driver or motorist to stop to give them a ride.
There are no right or wrong signals, only cultural differences. Lack of cultural understanding will lead to disharmony among people from different cultures. When we know what to look for, such encounters with other cultures are actually very interesting, fascinating and fun. It is certainly a great topic to discuss over a cup of coffee and cakes.
1、What did the man in the first paragraph do wrong?
A．He misunderstood the waiter. B．He didn’t realize cultural differences.
C．He ordered something off the menu. D．He made the signal in a rude way.
2、What does the underlined word in the second paragraph mean?
A．Full of admiration. B．Full of aggression.
C．Full of complexity. D．Full of certainty.
3、What will happen if you make a thumb up toward a man in Northern Greece?
A．He will stop to give you a lift. B．He will get annoyed and fight against you.
C．He will ask you to give him a lift. D．He will make the same signal toward you.
4、What’s the purpose of the passage?
A．To explain the meaning of different gestures.
B．To tell stories about different cultures.
C．To advise us to have an understanding of cultural differences.
D．To persuade people from different countries live in harmony.
25．（10分）Early in the Iliad, Homer's epic poem（史诗）about the legendary, Trojan War, there occurs a famous anecdote known as the catalogue of ships, which names all the Greek leaders and contingents(小分队) who came to fight at Troy. Before unfolding this impressive muster roll (花名册)，Homer makes a special, public appeal to the Muses to ensure he gets the facts right:
Tell me now, Muses, who have your homes on Olympus-- for you are goddesses, and ever-present, and know all things, and we hear only rumour: nor do we know anything
These lines reflect a
