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）The people of Chicago, Illinois, US, can thank three canals every time they drink a glass of clean water today. The building of the Illinois-Michigan Canal, the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and the Cal-Sag Canal all helped the Chicago River start flowing in a different direction in 1892.
Since their construction over a century ago, these waterways have connected Lake Michigan and the Mississippi river network and ensured a regular flow of fresh water of Chicago.
However, some unusual and unfortunate side effects have also been created because of their construction. Asian carp(鲤鱼), also known as silver or flying carp, are threatened in their native habitat in the Chinese Heilongjiang, Yangtze, and Pearl River basins. But they have become increasingly successful at filling the Mississippi river network since first being introduced into Arkansas catfish farms in the 1970s to control algae(水藻). By swimming into the canals and spreading further across the country, there are now major fears that this introduced species may be able to access Lake Michigan and the wider Great Lakes - which store an incredible 21 percent of the entire world’s fresh water.
“The actual influence of Asian carp on the Great Lakes has yet to be explained clearly, and we think this uncertainty is part of the reason why they are such an obvious issue,” says Dr Cory Suski, Associate Professor in the Department of Natural Resources and Environment Sciences at the University of Illinois. He points out that adult Asian carp are too large to be hunted by anything locally, that they have a prolific(多产的) reproduction rate, and they can steal food from the other native species in the rivers. “Could they survive in the Great Lakes or is there not enough food for them?” he asks.
Stopping the fish from spreading has therefore become a key concern for local lawmakers, who have made efforts such as building electric fences in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal. However, any big efforts to stop the carp - such as allowing the Chicago River to once again flow in its original direction - would in turn threaten the security of the city’s water supply, replacing one big problem with another.
1、According to the text, the construction of the three canals .
A．changed the direction of the Mississippi river.
B．brought fresh water to the people of Chicago.
C．lasted for almost a century because of huge cost.
D．has been the largest construction project in US history.
2、According to the text, Asian carps .
A．have nearly become extinct in Chinese rivers.
B．have occupied large areas in the Great Lakes.
C．were introduced to the US to fight against algae pollution.
D．are likely to pollute the fresh water in the Great Lakes.
3、What is the major concern of Asian carp in the US?
A．Its large size and fast reproduction rate.
B．The food shortage facing the species.
C．Its threat to the Great Lakes ecosystem.
D．Its natural enemies in the local areas.
4、What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．US law makers knew little of the threat caused by Asian carp.
B．Electric fences might not be enough to stop the spread of Asian carp.
C．The Chicago River has changed its flowing direction many times.
D．People in Chicago will soon face a serious water supply shortage.
22．（8分）A typical school day in the UK starts around 8:30 am. This is often even earlier elsewhere in the world, with students sitting down to their first lesson at 7:30 am in the US. The average teenager ideally needs eight to nine hours’ sleep each night, but in reality a lot of teenagers struggle to get this much. A lot of the problems arise because our sleep patterns are not fixed, and they change as we grow.
So a later school start time could help to solve this problem, by ensuring to get their eight plus hours of sleep and react properly to their body’s natural rhythms (规律). There has been a general shift over the past 25 years to shorten the school day. This is not at the cost of teaching time (which has remained constant) but at the cost of natural breaks, which has led to reduced lunch time and lesson breaks.
Later start times could help teens’ grades and health. This is mainly because it makes the management of children easier. Supervising (监管) hundreds of children “playing” requires effective staffing (人员配备). And there is always the fear that behavior worsens during breaks. So the theory goes that having them in class and strictly supervised must be better.
But this means that students barely have enough time to absorb what they were doing in maths before suddenly they are thrust into ancient history. And teaching staff also transit from one class to another, with hardly a rest or time to refocus.
Clearly rethinking the school day could benefit everyone involved. Anyway, it could also lead to better achievement in teenagers and less of a struggle for parents in the mornings. For teachers, it could also mean a less stressful day all around and what could be better than that?
1、Mow do schools often shorten the school day?
A．They increase more holidays.
B．They reduce the teaching time
C．They properly adjust children’ natural rhythms
D．They reduce children’s lunch time and lesson breaks
2、What’s the purpose of the children’ short lesson breaks according to the text?
A．To reduce children’s excitement
B．To make children quickly take in what they learned
C．To supervise children more easily
D．To make children behave better in class
3、What can we learn about later school start time from the text?
A．It will add to the teacher’s pressure
B．It has always been there for 25 years
C．It benefits the students only
D．Parents may support it
4、What can be the best title for the text?
A．The benefits of a less stressful day
B．How to solve teenagers’ sleep problem
C．The benefits of later school start time
D．The reasons why teenagers sleep differently

24．（8分） Thirteen can be a challenging age. Not only did I have to adapt to my changing body, I also had to deal with my parents’ bitter divorce, a new family and the upsetting move from my country home to a crowded town.
When we moved, my beloved companion, a small brown pony had to be sold. I was heartbroken and terribly lonely. I couldn’t eat or sleep and cried all the time. Finally, realizing how much I missed my pony, my father bought me another horse, Cowboy.
Cowboy was without doubt the ugliest horse in the world. But I didn’t care. I loved him beyond all reasons.
I joined a riding club. When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse was judged by appearance, we were quickly ”shown the gate”. I knew nothing could turn Cowboy into a beauty. My only chance to compete would be in the timed speed events. I chose the jumping race.
For the whole next month we practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home, totally exhausted.
All of our hard work didn’t make me feel confident by the time the show came. One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons. I sat at the gate and sweated all out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the court and finish in first place.
My turn finally came. At the signal, we dashed toward the first fence, jumped over it without trouble and raced on to the next one. Cowboy then flew over the second, third and fourth fences like a bird and I turned him toward the finish line.
No cheers filled the air. The end of our run was met with surprised silence. Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds.
I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen, I realized that no matter what the odds, I’d always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it. I can be the owner of my fate.
1、Why did the author like Cowboy so much in spite of its ugliness
A．Because she loved horses more than anything else.
B．Because Cowboy was a strong and smart young horse.
C．Because Cowboy had a lot in common with her pony.
D．Because she was sad and lonely and needed a companion.
2、The audience fell into silence at the end of the run probably because________
A．they didn’t expect Cowboy would win the event
B．they were unhappy that Becky was beaten in the event
C．they didn’t like cowboy, for it was too ugly
D．they never saw a horse running as fast as Cowboy
3、After the competition, the author came to realize that _______.
A．she ought to gather the courage to solve all the problems
B．it was time to forget her pony and treat Cowboy better
C．she needed to work harder to win more blue ribbons
D．she could be the god of her own fate if she tried hard enough
4、It can be inferred from the story that _________.
A．all of their hard training was totally in vain
B．a blue ribbon must be the second highest prize
C．Cowboy lost in the event of being judged by appearance
D．both Becky and the author won in the jumping event
25．（10分） Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self­conscious (难为情) when they’re in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.
Don’t forget the clock—or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume a
