其次部分　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
Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness，happiness，goodness，and self－respect？The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as “honor” help you create this life of good feelings.
Here is an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item.If we keep silent，and profit from the clerk’s mistake，we would drive home with a sense of mean excitement.Later we might tell our family of friends about our good fortuneOn the other hand，if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item，the clerk would be grateful，and thank us for our honesty.We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.
Then，what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
In the first case，where we don’t tell the clerk，a couple of things would happen.Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief.In the process，we would lose some peace of mind and self－respect.We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted，since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends.We damage our own reputations by telling others.In contrast，bringing_the_error_to_the_clerk’s_attention causes different things to happen.Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable.Upon leaving the store，we feel honorable and our self－respect is increased.Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions.Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions.Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence.And it’s easy to think and act honorably again when we’re happy.While the positive cycle can be difficult to start，once it’s started，it’s easy to continue.Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind，which is important for our happiness.
36．The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to________.
A．lying　　　　　　　　 B．stealing
C．cheating D．advertising
37．The underlined phrase “bringing the error to the clerk’s attention” means________.
A．telling the truth to the clerk
B．offering advice to the clerk
C．asking the clerk to be more attentive
D．reminding the clerk of the charged item
38．How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake?
A．We’ll be very excited.
B．We’ll feel unfortunate.
C．We’ll have a sense of honor.
D．We’ll feel sorry for the clerk.
39．Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A．How to Live Truthfully
B．Importance of Peacefulness
C．Ways of Gaining Self－respect
D．Happiness through Honorable Actions
B

Scientists at Harvard University and Bates College find female chimpanzees(黑猩猩)appear to treat sticks as dolls，carrying them around until they have children of their own.Young males engage in such behavior much less frequently.
The new work by Sonya M．Kahlenberg and Richard W．Wrangham，described this week in the journal Current Biology，provides the first evidence of a wild non－human species playing with dolls，as well as the first known sex difference in a wild animal’s choice of playthings.
The two researchers say their work adds to a growing body of evidence that human children are probably born with their own ideas of how they want to behave，rather than simply mirroring other girls who play with dolls and boys who play with trucks.Doll play among humans could have its origins in object－carrying by earlier apes (猿类)，they say，suggesting that toy selection is probably not due entirely to socialization.
“In humans，there are obvious sex differences in children’s toy play，and these are remarkably similar across cultures，” says Kahlenberg.“While socialization by elders and peers has been the primary explanation，our work suggests that biology may also have an important role to play in activity preferences.”
In 14 years of data on chimpanzee behavior at the Kibale National Park in Uganda，Kahlenberg and Wrangham counted more than 100 examples of stick－carrying.Some young chimpanzees carried sticks into the nest to sleep with them and on one occasion built a separate nest for the stick.“We have seen juveniles occasionally carrying sticks for many years，and because they sometimes treated them rather like dolls，we wanted to know if in general this behavior tended to represent something like playing with dolls，” says Wrangham，a Professor at Harvard“If the doll hypothesis(假设)was right，we thought that females should carry sticks more than males do，and that the chimpanzees should stop carrying sticks when they had their first child.We have now watched enough young chimpanzees to prove both points.”
40．What does a female chimpanzee do with sticks?
A．She gives them to her child to play with.
B．She treats them as weapons.
C．She treats them as dolls.
D．She makes useful tools from them.
41．What causes the different toy selection of chimpanzees，according to the passage?
A．Socialization. B．Sex difference.
C．Environment. D．Cultural difference.
42．We can infer from the fourth paragraph that________.
A．socialization has nothing to do with human’s choice of playthings
B．the biology factor may also influence toy choice
C．sex difference is the only factor in human’s choice of playthings
D．people choose different toys in different cultures
43．It can be concluded from the passage that________.
A．chimpanzees usually choose playthings for their children
B．different factors cause humans and chimpanzees to choose different playthings
C．only female chimpanzees have playthings
D．both humans and chimpanzees choose their playthings due to sex difference
C
As thousands of communities in the USA—especially in the South—became booming gateways for immigrant families from Central and South America during the 1990s and the early years of the new century，public schools struggled with the unfamiliar task of serving the large numbers of English learners arriving in their classrooms.
Education programs needed to be built_from_scratch“We had no teaching resources suitable for English learners here before.We had to develop them all ourselves，” a Texas principal said.Throughout the country，districts had to train their own teachers to teach English to non－native speakers or recruit teachers from elsewhere.School staff members had to figure out how to communicate with parents who spoke no English.
But even as immigration has slowed or stopped in many places，and instructional programs for English－learners have matured，serving immigrant families and their children remains a work in progress in many public schools，especially those in communities that are skeptical，or sometimes unwelcoming，to the newcomers.One of the biggest challenges educators face，is communicating effectively with parents who don’t speak English—an issue that，in part，has contributed to recent complaints of discrimination by Latino students in some cities.
“The parents’ role is very important for the success of these students，but it’s also one of the most difficult things we’ve had to tackle，” said Jim D．Rollins，the president of the Springdale school district，where the 19,000－student school system has gone from having no English－learners 15 years ago to more than 7,500 now.“You have to make it a priority and work on it，work on it，and work on it.”
Aside from the practical challenges，such as finding bilingual(会说两种语言的)staff members，guiding districts through such dramatic changes requires school leaders to bridge difficult political and cultural divides.For school leaders in the South，especially in the last few years，this difficult job has been made harder still by the negative attitudes of some locals towards immigrants.
44．The underlined part “built from scratch” (in Paragraph 2) probably means“________”．
A．completely new
B．painful to make
C．based on past experience
D．constructed gradually
45．What is one of the things the school leaders have done to deal with the problems?
A．Provide more Spanish－only classes.
B．Invite more teachers from other places.
C．Train their teachers to speak Spanish.
D．Use bilingual parents as part－time teachers.
46．What do we know about the immigrant parents?
A．Many of them cannot speak English.
B．Most of them think education is not important.
C．Some of them feel skeptical about the local community.
D．Few of them have attended American schools.
47．According to Paragraph 3，what has caused some of the recent complaints by Latino students?
A．Discrimination by schools.
B．Unfriendliness of the locals.
C．Miscommunication with parents.
D．Poor government service.
