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）According to a Pew Research Center report from November 2013, “71% of those 10-18 turn to the internet as a main news source.” Another Pew report found from 2012 says that on an average day, 29 percent of young people were “newsless” meaning they did not get any news, from traditional platforms, mobile phones, or even social networks.
Despite the fact that both my husband and I are in journalism, my husband as a design editor and myself as a writer, I have often wondered if our four sons would grow up to read printed pages with their own children someday.
I got my answer last week when my failure to renew us living in a newspaper desert for two weeks. Normally we get both The Virginian-Pilot (the paper for which my husband works) and The Christian Science Monitor Weekly print edition. Our four sons have grown up with a variety of print newspapers available daily. That has changed slightly since our youngest, Quin, 10, has also become an online news tracker.
However, it wasn’t until the newspapers stopped coming to our doorstep seven days a week that I learned how deeply attached they all are to the printed, paper, page. That’s when we decided to make a list of what we have come to rely on newspapers to do cheaply and immediately.
Here’s the list we made together of what our newspaper is used for beyond learning the news itself: as an umbrella when caught in rain; to stuff in wet shoes overnight to dry; to stuff in hats to keep their shape; to stuff under doors and in cracks to stop cold wind from coming in; to wallpaper for a doll house (my dad did that once)….
Despite the growing list of household uses, my sons’ love for reading the paper before it becomes cage liner has helped me to realize that there is still hope that our kids and future generations will continue to value the printed news as more than just a means to a crafting project end, but to getting a more touchable grasp on the issues they may face in life.
1、What is the Pew Research Center report probably about?
A．Children’s news source.
B．Quality of journalism.
C．Children’s after-class activities.
D．Parent-child relationships.
2、When did the author learn how deeply attached her children are to newspapers?
A．our four sons would grow up to read printed pages with their own children
B．our youngest, Quin, 10, has also become an online news addict
C．the newspapers stopped coming to our doorstep seven days a week
D．we decided to make a list of what we have come to rely on newspapers
3、Which is not on the list of using newspapers for household?
A．to wallpaper for a doll house.
B．to get news from social networks.
C．to act as an umbrella when caught in rain.
D．to stuff under doors and in cracks to stop cold wind coming in.
4、How should children and future generations continue to value the newspaper?
A．using it as a means to a crafting project end.
B．relying on it to do cheaply and immediately.
C．growing up with a variety of print newspapers available daily.
D．getting a more touchable grasp on the issues they may face in life.
22．（8分）What is erosion(腐蚀)? Erosion is simply when soil is transported on the earth's surface from one location to another by a natural cause.
This is easy to imagine. Picture a sandcastle on a beach. This sandcastle is particularly beautiful, the work of a whole long, hot summer afternoon. It has three towers, with a great wall running all around. Small square houses sit in an open area in the center. From the tallest tower flies a Pop-sicle-wrapper flag from a small twig flagpole. Its builder sits back, proudly admiring her work. But it is late, and the tide is coming in, bringing the water closer. Finally, the castle is hit with a giant wave. As it pulls out, the builder sees there is nothing left but bits of the towers and a small broken twig. Where has the sand gone? Not very far, really. It’s moving around the water that will wash back and forth across the beach all day. It’s spread around the beach next to the castle. However, to our eyes, it has disappeared. This is also the way with erosion. Parts of the earth seem to disappear but have really just been moved around.
A common example of water changing the landscape is sinkholes. Sinkholes are formed when underground water wears away the dirt and rock that surrounds it. Eventually, the hole underneath the ground is so big, and the earth above it so thin that the surface collapses into the hole, taking with it anything unlucky enough to be on the surface at the time. Sinkholes occur naturally and have been around a very long time. Today, though, many sinkholes are caused by the action of human beings.
In fact, today, human beings are one of the things helping to speed up erosion of the earth. Scientists believe that by pumping water from underground, moving sand dunes and other naturally-occurring anti-erosion measures, humans have allowed erosion of the earth to speed up by as much as 40 times. This means that beaches around the world are disappearing, more sinkholes are opening up, and farmland is rapidly becoming desert.
1、What’s the author’s purpose of describing a sandcastle in Paragraph 2?
A．To show the destructive force of nature.
B．To recall his happy childhood.
C．To catch the reader’s attention.
D．To explain what erosion is.
2、What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the passage?
A．The hole.
B．The ground.
C．The earth.
D．The surface.
3、According to the passage, which of the following can you infer may NOT be the cause of sink-holes?
A．A lot of high-rises have been built.
B．People pump water from underground.
C．Too many mines have been opened up.
D．Underground water takes away dirt and rock around it.

4、Based on the passage, what is most likely to be one result of erosion?
A．Desertification will speed up.
B．Sinkholes will be everywhere.
C．Many plant species will disappear.
D．Earthquakes will happen more often.
23．（8分） Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 3,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you give up well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any prize. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
1、Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.
A．the reasons for success B．the standards of success
C．the importance of success D．what people think success is
2、Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ________.
A．work makes one feel pain B．one tends to enjoy his work
C．it takes a lot of time to succeed D．one gives up his work easily
3、What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A．Successful people like to show their great skills.
B．People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
C．People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
D．It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
4、What is the main theme of the passage?
A．Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.
B．One cannot succeed without time and practice.
C．Having a goal is very important to success.
D．Being good is different from being great.
