第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
       Abdul, who was a tailor (裁缝) in a village in southern India, managed to earn enough to keep himself, his wife and his children. Tailoring is a trade that depends on having a sharp eye. When Abdul was 50, his eyes began to cloud over with cataracts (白内障). A year later he was almost completely blind.
       With no social security (保障) to fall back on, his wife and children had to somehow earn the money to support the family. However, Abdul’s luck changed when he was seen by a mobile eye team supported by Sight Savers. They performed a cataract removal operation which restored (恢复) his sight.
       Abdul is very special to us, because he was the two millionth person whose sight we restored. That was back in 1987. In 1991, Taj Eibi, a mother of two sons, became the three millionth person to receive the gift of sight from Sight Savers at a mobile eye hospital in Pakistan. Now she’s running the family home again, working in the fields with her sons and helping at the local primary school.
       How much did it cost to bring about this miracle (奇迹)? Just £8. Imagine, £8 will give the priceless gift of sight to a blind person. And £16 will restore the sight of two blind people. You can help by sparing a few minutes to send us your donation to:
       Sight Savers, FREEPOST, Haywards Heath,
West Sussex, RH16 3ZA
21. According to the text, Abdul _____.
A. suffered from an eye disease
B. was popular as a tailor
C. was rich in his village
D. lived all alone
22. Thanks to Sight Savers, Taj Eibi _____.
A. got a well-paid job
B. was able to live an active life
C. got to know Abdul
D. sent her sons to a local school
23. The text is most probably taken from _____.
A. a storybook               B. a research paper
C. a biography               D. a charity magazine
B

       Hawaiians are among the most generous  people in the world and gift giving is widely practiced throughout the year at all of life’s major ceremonies: births and birthdays, weddings, deaths, and graduations as well as during American and Western holidays like Christmas, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Valentine’s Day.
      Giri is the Japanese term applied to gift giving and the idea of reciprocity. It is a general duty made in the form of birthday, wedding, graduation, and anniversary gifts as well as presentations given when someone is ill or has died. Each gift of money or goods is noted when received and it is returned in equal value at a later time. Some Japanese families actually keep a written record, assigning (赋予) values to gifts, and use this record for future reciprocity. Taking a gift to a party is another expression of giri, since Japanese rarely go empty-handed to a party hosted by any group.
       Omiyage is a souvenir or thing native to a particular place; thus travelers purchase omiyage for family, friends, and office workers at home. One European businessman, married to a Japanese woman, always returns home from a business trip with a box of candy or cookies for his office staff. Not limited to people of Japanese ancestry (血统), this idea of omiyage is well accepted among many peoples in the Hawaiian Islands.
       When Japanese family members travel, the practice of senbetsu comes into play. Senbetsu is the gift of money to a traveler, which is often used to purchase omiyage for the giver.
       Giri, omiyage, and senbetsu — the three Japanese terms associated with gift giving — are concepts similarly implanted in many other Asian countries like China and Korea. These concepts have further spread to become a Hawaiian tradition where favors are returned and business is conducted among friends.
24. What does the underlined word “reciprocity” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Taking a gift to a party.
B. Sharing the same feelings.
C. Keeping a record of gifts.
D. Paying back what one receives.
25. The story of one European businessman shows that _____.
A. he accepts the idea of omiyage
B. he started a candy business
C. he is quiet and generous
D. he once lived in Hawaii
26. Before a Japanese travels abroad, he may receive _____.
A. giri                            B. omiyage
C. senbetsu                    D. goods
27. For what purpose is the text written?
A. Explaining some Japanese words.
B. Introducing gift giving in Hawaii.
C. Showing some popular gifts in Japan.
D. Describing some rules at a ceremony.
C

       Clara Barton, born on Christmas in 1821, is widely known as one of the most honored women in American history. She began teaching school when most teachers were men at that time. Later, she became one of the first women ever to be employed by the government.
       Her career in helping the sick began when her brother David became her first patient. He fell down from the roof of a house when Clara was just 11 years old. She stayed by his side and looked after him for three years, learning how to give him all his medicines.
       When the Civil War began in 1861, she immediately recognized that the poorly equipped soldiers needed help. Instead of waiting for others to step in, Clara collected necessary things on her own, asked the public for donations and learned how to store and distribute them to soldiers. She also read to the soldiers and wrote letters for them.
       After the Battle of Cedar Mountain in northern Virginia in 1862, Clara arrived at a field hospital at midnight with a vehicle full of supplies. A doctor named Paul Smith at that hospital would later write, “I thought heaven had sent out an angel that night — her assistance arrived at exactly the right time.”
       In 1869, Clara went to Europe and learned about the International Committee of the Red Cross. Upon her return to the United States, she successfully founded the American Red Cross. She led the organization for the next 23 years. Her last field mission as president of the American Red Cross was to help the victims of the 1900 Galveston hurricane. She did not retire from the American Red Cross until she was 83. True to her nature, Clara always went to where the need was the greatest.
       Today, the American Red Cross continues the mission Clara started more than 100 years ago. With the help of thousands of volunteers, the American Red Cross provides relief to victims of disasters, as well as helps people prevent, prepare for and respond to all sorts of emergencies (突发事件).
28. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that Clara Barton was _____.
A. honest                        B. caring
C. talented                      D. modest
29. After the Civil War broke out, Clara Barton _____.
A. joined the army and fought bravely
B. went to Europe for further study
C. continued to work as a teacher
D. did a lot to help soldiers
30. Seeing Clara Barton’s arrival, Dr. Smith must have felt _____.
A. excited and grateful  
B. proud and joyful
C. shy and nervous
D. sad and sorry
31. What is mainly described in Paragraph 5?
A. The aim of the American Red Cross.
B. The importance of voluntary donations.
C. Clara Barton and the American Red Cross.
D. Clara Barton’s contribution to the Civil War.
D

       Taylor Crowe used to play happily with his toys and recite his alphabet. By age 2, he was starting to learn to make sounds. But something happened in the third year of his childhood. He started losing his language abilities and would have emotional outbursts. Taylor’s parents noticed that he became very shy, and did not make eye contact when spoken to. He seemed to be in his own secret world.
       Today, nearly 1 out of every 110 children born in the U.S. suffers from autism. Taylor Crowe was actually one of these sufferers. Autism is a complex neurological (brain) condition that affects a person’s ability to communicate and socialize. These children often repeat words or actions, and they are extra sensitive (敏感的) to sights, sounds and touch. They may have a sudden period of uncontrolled anger and can be seen beating their hands.
       Scientists believe that children with autism have highly developed visual (视觉的) areas in their brain which explains why many of them, including Taylor, are exceptionally good artists. But, unfortunately, this comes at a trade-off — the brain’s ability to communicate, make decisions, plan and complete a task is reduced.
       Through immediate treatments and specialized instructions, children with autism are taught behaviors such as keeping eye contact with others, responding when spoken to and becoming aware of themselves. Some children are able to grow up to lead a full and active life. For Taylor, it was years of hard work, but he has shown marked improvement and is well on his way to becoming better. It appears that the earlier parents and caregivers provide special care, the easier these children can get close to normal lives.
       Autism is a reminder that each of us is different. Every child with autism is still a child; every person with autism is still a person. The next time you come across a child with autism, try reaching out and connecting with the child inside.
32. At the age of three, Taylor Crowe _____.
A. was unable to see things clearly
B. would become angry very easily
C. started to learn to read the alphabet
D. lost his language abilities completely
33. It seems that autism _____.
A. helps sufferers achieve in other fields
B. spreads rapidly across the U.S.
C. is caused by uncontrolled anger
D. cannot be cured now
34. In the last paragraph, the author tries to _____.
A. explain what causes autism
B. ask us to respect and accept those with autism
C. tell us how to prevent autism
D. make us realize the importance of being healthy
35. What would be the best title for the text?
A. A brief history of autism
B. Autism and brain development
C. Children with autism in the U.S.
D. Taylor Crowe: a life with autism

Selling hot dogs is big business

       One of the most well-liked foods in America is the hot dog. The selling of hot dogs has already become a popular business.  36  Almost half of all hot dogs were sold between Memorial Day and Labor Day. On July 4th alone, Americans bought 150 million hot dogs.
       The sales of hot dogs have increased a lot.  37  New ingredients have widened the appeal of the hot dog to various groups. Many Americans can now choose meatless and low-fat varieties of hot dogs. Chicken, turkey, and beef hot dogs are also available for purchase.
       The popularity of the hot dog is also a result of the many ways the food is prepared in different parts of the United States.  38  Hot dog lovers in Chicago often use yellow mustard (芥末),  raw (生的) onions and tomato slices (薄片) with their hot dogs. In the south, however, people put coleslaw (a kind of salad) on their hot dogs.  39  People from Kansas City enjoy their hot dogs with melted Swiss cheese.
       No matter how people order, fix, or eat their hot dogs, this convenient meal remains an important part of the American diet.  40  Supermarkets, restaurants, and food stands across the United States continue to buy a huge number of hot dogs from suppliers so they can provide customers with one of their favorite foods: the all-American hot dog.
A. They are always in such high demand.
B. It is safer to heat a hot dog before you eat it.
C. This is, in part, due to some changes in the product.
D. Last year, Americans ate more than 20 billion hot dogs.
E. The longest hot dog created in the world was 60 meters.
F. People from New York like their hot dogs with a lot of onions.
G. How Americans prepare their hot dogs depends on where they live.
