第二部分 阅读理解（满分20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。
A
Today we talk about a time when half the world is waking from the dark, cold winter months. Spring! We often describe “spring” as a time of rebirth, renewal and awakening. Many trees are blossoming and early flowers are pushing through the earth. Things are coming to life!
But the word “spring” is not just a season. It is also a verb that means something going on or coming out quickly. When you put “spring” and “life” together, you will get “spring to life”. This expression means something suddenly becomes very active or perhaps seems more alive! You may “spring to life” after hearing that a distant friend will be visiting you. Or maybe your favorite soccer team finally “sprang to life” in the second half, played well and won the match.
Now, besides being a season and a verb the noun “spring” refers to a metal coil (线圈) that is wound tightly. When the coil unwinds, it often jumps. So, we often say a person “has a spring in his step” if he is lively and active. He might even appear to jump, or bounce a little when he walks.
There is another way we use “spring” as a description. In the case of a “spring chicken”, “spring” means young. However, “spring chicken” is also an informal, humorous way to refer to someone who isn’t young at all. So, we use this expression in the negative form, as in “no spring chicken”. For example, let’s say you know an 85-year-old man who decides to run a marathon, even though he has never exercised before. You could say, “That’s amazing! After all, he’s no spring chicken.”
But be careful when using this expression. It could be a little disrespectful. Let’s say your boss shows you a picture of his wife, and you say, “Wow, she’s no spring chicken.” That response would be disrespectful and a bad career move.
1、What does “spring” mean in the expression “spring to life”?
A．The season after winter.
B．Being young and healthy.
C．A tightly wound metal coil.
D．To occur or appear quickly.
2、What is the passage mainly about?
A．The origin of the word “spring”
B．The meaning of the season “spring”.
C．Some expressions with the word “spring”.
D．Some characteristics of the season “spring”.
3、How does someone feel when he “has a spring in his step”
A．Angry B．Surprised
C．Happy D．Frightened
4、What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Being young is a great advantage in career development.
B．Women may feel offended when described as “no spring chicken”.
C．Using “spring-related” expressions in conversations seems impolite.
D．Expressions with the word “spring” are always disrespectful to others.

B
It may surprise bookworms, but apparently masterpieces such as Jane Eyre are lacking in something — sound effects. An electronic-book firm is adding background noises and music to the works of Charlotte Bronte, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and William Shakespeare in the hope of attracting younger readers. In one example, a description of rain lashing against a window in a Sherlock Holmes story will be “enhanced” with matching noises.
The first multimedia e-books — with sounds to accompany novels — will be available this Friday in the UK. The Booktrack releases are available to iPad users, with other tablet computer versions to follow. The concept is already in use in the U.S., where the classics come with added sound effects. Readers for example can hear the china cups chinking in Mr. Darcy’s garden as they read Pride And Prejudice.
A story by Booker Prize winner Salman Rushdie will be released later in the year with a specially crafted orchestral score. Rushdie’s story In The South will be released with a soundtrack provided by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.
The Power Of Six by Pittacus Lore, a novel for young adults, is one of the first to be tested with a soundtrack which builds in suspense in keeping with the plot. It works by timing the speed of each reader and the software measures the “turning” of a page and moves the music or sounds along accordingly. It has been created by Booktrack which synchronizes (使同步) music to each novel. It is funded by Peter Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal.
Mr. Thiel said, “It’s always exciting to witness the creation of a new form of media. The technology promises to captivate readers in a different way.”
However, they have been greeted with horror by traditionalists, who say the technology takes away the pleasure of having one’s imagination stimulated by a story. They also raise the prospect (预期) of having to ask an overly eager reader to turn their book down. David Nicholls, whose bestseller One Day was recently turned into a film starring Anne Hathaway, said, “This sounds like the opposite of reading. It would be a distraction.”
1、What’s the purpose of the electronic-book firm adding sound effects to masterpieces?
A．To add some creative factors to the e-books. B．To arouse interest of the readers.
C．To satisfy the readers’ great need. D．To promote the technology progress.
2、Where was the idea that sounds are added to accompany novels first put forward?
A．Britain. B．Australia. C．New Zealand. D．America.
3、The following should be done to make a soundtrack work, EXCEPT ________.
A．measuring how long each reader spends in reading
B．increasing the volume of the music or sounds
C．making out the reading speed
D．changing the music or sounds with pages turned
4、What’s Mr. Thiel’ attitude to the future of the new form of media?
A．Doubtful. B．Indifferent. C．Hopeful. D．Negative.
