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）Today, we talk about a common object that appears in many expressions — buttons! Buttons, which are usually small and round and made of metal or plastic, are found on all sorts of clothing. They fasten or connect one piece of clothing to another in order to make sure your clothes don’t fall off.
To be cute as a button is an old saying, which means to be attractive or sweet, but in a small way. Babies are often described as cute as a button. Language experts don’t know why. But they do say this expression dates back to the late 1860s.
Here is another expression related to button: button-down. People often wear button-down shirts to the office. Button-down as an adjective means to be conservative or traditional. People described as button-down stay as close as possible to the normal way of dressing and behaving.
When buttoning a button you slip it into a buttonhole. A buttonhole traps the button. So, to buttonhole someone means you have trapped them in a spoken conversation. Now, let’s say you find yourself buttonholed in a conversation at a party. Someone just keeps talking and talking and talking! Finally, you can’t take it any longer. You tell the person to button it! This is a direct, but unacceptable way of saying “Stop talking!” Button your lip is another equally rude but effective way to stop a person who talks too much.
Another kind of difficult person is someone who pushes one’s buttons. To push one’s buttons means to know exactly how to get that person angry or upset. People who like to push other people’s buttons usually do it for selfish reasons. They find a person’s weak point and then they use it to upset them.
1、What do you think of someone who wears a button-down shirt to the office?
A．Funny. B．Traditional.
C．Crazy. D．Fashionable.
2、What will you probably say to get rid of a long and boring talk?
A．Button your lip. B．Be cute as a button.
C．Push your buttons. D．Be button-down.
3、How does the fourth paragraph mainly develop?
A．By giving examples. B．By making contrasts.
C．By listing figures. D．By analyzing cause and effect.
4、What does the underlined phrase “pushes one’s buttons” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A．Learns of one’s secret. B．Shouts loudly.
C．Gets someone to lose his temper. D．Argues with someone.

23．（8分） Sometimes you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible. However, chances are that you don’t act on your impulse (冲动), but let it pass instead. You know that to take the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of taboo behavior is how it can change over the years, how certain behavior and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time. Topics such as death, for example, were once considered so upsetting that it was a taboo to even talk about them. Now with the publication of important books such as On Death and Dying and Learning to Say Goodbye, people have become more aware of the importance of expressing feelings about death and, as a result, are more willing to talk about this taboo subject.
One of the newest taboos is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that people talk about constantly. It’s not taboo to talk about fat; it’s taboo to be fat. The “in” look is thin, not fat. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, slim manager to sell their image as well as their products to the public. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor, and success. The fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self-discipline and self-respect. After all, how can people permit themselves to become fat? In an image-conscious society, thin is ‘‘in”, fat is “out”.
It’s not surprising that millions of people have become obsessed (着迷) with staying slim and “in shape”. The pursuit of a youthful physical appearance is not, however, the only reason for people’s obsession with diet and exercise. Recent research has shown the importance of diet and exercise for personal health. As in most technologically developed nations, the life-style of people has changed since last century. Modern machines do all the physical labor. Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point. As a result of inactivity and disuse, people’s bodies can easily become weak. In an effort to avoid such a fate (命运), millions of people are spending more of their time exercising. Parks are filled with joggers and bicyclists, and many companies are providing special exercise equipment for their employees to use during the work day.
1、What does the word “taboo’’ refer to in the passage?
A．A crime committed on impulse.
B．An unfavorable impression left on other people.
C．A strong desire to do something strange or terrible.
D．Behavior considered unacceptable to the society.
2、What does the underlined phrase “in” look probably mean?
A．The fashionable look. B．The hidden look.
C．The usual look. D．The inside look.
3、According to the passage, the common belief is that .
A．fat people are full of energy
B．thin people are more successful
C．fat people prefer to have fat bosses
D．thin people are less image-conscious
4、People pay more attention to diet and exercise because of .
A．their need to kill time B．their love for sports
C．their concern for health D．their belief in hard work
24．（8分Frank Lloyd Wright was the champion of organic architecture, a style of building meant to harmonize with nature. But I’m not sure harmonizing with chipmunks — small American animals similar to squirrels with black lines on their fur — was what he had in mind.
During my years with the US National Park Service, I spent six months working in a visitor center designed by Wright’s firm. Several other employees and I staffed the park’s phone and radio system from a room in the basement.
I was sitting at my desk when I first heard a sound in the suspended ceiling. Dark shapes moved fast across the light panel(光板) above my head. Moments later, they ran back in the opposite direction, leaving me with an impression of noses and tails, each tail followed by another nose. It was like watching a shadow puppet(皮影) performance, but with real animals.
“Baby chipmunks,” a fellow told me. “They live in the ceiling.”
After four summers working in the parks, I had grown accustomed to sharing indoor space with wildlife. Chipmunks in the workplace even seemed to be a joy; their behaviors provided a bit of stress relief on difficult days.
As summer progressed, the shadows chasing each other across our lights grew bigger. Their movement across the light panels had become more of an athletic running.
I had just answered a call one day when I heard a loud sound, and a ceiling panel fell down on my head. I dropped the phone as I fell out of my office chair, looking up just in time to see a brown tail disappear over the gap in the ceiling.
I pulled myself off the carpet, laughing with my co-workers, and noticed the phone hanging over the side of the desk. I picked up the phone, preparing to explain the crash, the scream, the dropped phone, and the laughing to the listener who was about to visit the park.
“I’m sorry, but you’re not going to believe what just happened.”
I don’t think he did.
1、What does the author probably do?
A．He’s a visitor. B．He’s a biologist.
C．He’s an architect. D．He’s a consultant.
2、What were the chipmunks doing when the author found them for the first time?
A．They were chasing each other.
B．They were making their home.
C．They were jumping onto the lights.
D．They were climbing up to the ceiling.
3、How did the author feel about seeing chipmunks in his office?
A．Scared. B．Curious.
C．Pleased. D．Shocked.
4、What was the main cause of the accident when the author was making a phone call?
A．The chipmunks were fighting on the panel.
B．The panel couldn’t bear the chipmunks’ weight.
C．Something hit the ceiling from high above.
D．The suspended ceiling was not firm.
5、Who was the author talking to over the phone?
A．One of his friends. B．Frank Lloyd Wright.
C．A future park visitor. D．One of his colleagues.
25．（10分） Food picked up just a few seconds after being dropped is less likely to contain bacteria than if it is left for longer periods of time,according to the findings of research carried out at Aston University's School of Life and Health Sciences.The findings suggest there may be some scientific basis of the "5-second rule"—the belief about it being fine to eat food that has only had contact with the floor for five seconds or less.Although people have long followed the "5-second rule",until now it was unclear whether it actually helped.
The study,undertaken by final year Biology students and led by Anthony Hilton,Professor of Microbiology at Aston University,monitored the transfer of the common bacteria from a variety of indoor floor types as carpet, cement floor to toast,pasta,biscuit and a sticky sweet when contact was made from 3 to 30 seconds.The results showed that: time is a significant factor in the transfer of bacteria from a floor surface to a piece of food,and the type of flooring the food has been dropped on has an effect,with bacteria least likely to transfer from carpeted surf
