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
I moved from Chicago to Brooklyn in July of 2010，just in time to watch my mother die.Our parents were both gone now；I took with me as many things they had left behind as I could.
I was out walking one Saturday later that summer when something caught my eye—a pale green dress.Laid out on the pavement was stuff like earrings，glass candle－holders，books.Hanging on the fence behind were a few pairs of jeans and a green cotton dress.
The woman，the host of the stoop(门廊) sale，looked like she was getting rid of a past she didn’t need or want.A dress that was too big for her.A chest of drawers that took up too much space，space she needed，maybe，to heal，recover，or grow.
I wasn’t planning on buying anything really，but now I needed to show her that I appreciated her things and I would give them a safe home.Then I had my first stoop sale—I paid her 20 dollars for her green cotton dress and her blue candle－holder.
From that day on，I became interested in stoop sales.Some of my favorite things are from someone else’s life.I find no joy in shopping at regular stores any more.I love trying to sniff out a memory from a bud vase or a drawer.It is comforting to know that someone has breathed and laughed inside a sweater before me.
A few weeks ago，I carried my mother’s dresses to a friend’s stoop.These were her best items，which were once worn by the most important person in my life.For many hours，I watched from across the path people advancing the stoop，some leaving with Mom’s dress.I used to think that her stuff was as forever sacred(神圣的)as my memory of her.I know now that once I love a scarf or shirt too dearly，it needs to find a new home.Even that green dress is long gone by now.
36．The author took her mother’s dresses after her death because________.
A．she valued the things used by her mom
B．she didn’t want to throw them away
C．she could sell them later
D．they were her mom’s best items
37．From the passage，we know that________.
A．the things the author bought from the woman are too big
B．the author is fond of imagining others’ life experiences
C．the author will never shop at regular stores any more
D．the author still keeps most of her mom’s things
38．In the last paragraph，the author tries to tell us that________.
A．her mom is the number one person in her life
B．she didn’t really want to sell her mom’s dresses
C．she still thinks of her mother quite often
D．love doesn’t mean holding on to something tightly
39．It can be inferred that the author will________.
A．not sell her own things at stoop sales
B．keep her mom in her mind in another way
C．be sad about all the memory of her mom
D．move to another city for a new life
B
Mouth bacteria grow fast in airless conditions.Oxygen rich saliva(唾液)keeps their numbers down.When we sleep，for example，the saliva stream slows，and sulfur(硫)producing bacteria gains the upper hand，producing classic “morning breath”．
Alcohol drinking，too much talking，breathing through the mouth during exercise，anything that dries the mouth produces bad breath.So can stress，though it’s not understood why.Some people’s breath turns sour every time they go on a job interview.
Saliva flow gradually slows with age，which explains why the elderly have more bad breath trouble than younger people do.Babies，however，who make plenty of saliva and whose mouths contain relatively few bacteria have characteristically sweet breath.
For most of us，the simple，dry mouth variety of bad breath is easily cured.Eating or drinking starts saliva and sweeps away many of the bacteria.Breakfast often stops morning breath.
Those with constant dry mouth find that it helps to keep gum，hard candy，or a bottle of water or juice around.Brushing the teeth wipes out dry mouth bad breath because it clears away many of the offending bacteria.
Surprisingly，one thing that rarely works is mouthwash.The liquid can mask bad breath smell with its own smell，but the effect lasts no more than an hour.Some mouthwashes claim to kill the bacteria responsible for bad breath.The trouble is，they don’t necessarily reach all offending germs.Most bacteria are well protected from mouthwash under thick layers of mucus(粘液)．If the mouthwash contains alcohol—as most do—it can worsen the problem by drying out the mouth.
40．Which of the following is right?
A．Saliva flow gradually increases with age.
B．Alcohol drinking does good to bad breath.
C．Mouthwash is not an effective way to bad breath.
D．Mouth bacteria can’t grow fast in airless conditions.
41．Which of the following is mentioned as one of the causes of bad breath?
A．Tooth trouble.　　　　 B．Sulfur rich food.
C．Too much exercise. D．Mental pressure.
42．According to the passage，alcohol has something to do with bad breath mainly because________.
A．it keeps offending bacteria from reproducing
B．its smell adds to bad breath
C．it kills some helpful bacteria
D．it affects the normal flow of saliva
43．We can infer from this passage that________.
A．offensive breath can’t easily be cured
B．elderly people are less offended by bad breath
C．heavy drinkers are less affected by bad breath
D．offensive breath is less affected by alcohol
C

There are records of fingerprints taken many centuries ago.The ancient Babylonians pressed the tips of their fingerprints into clay to record business trade.The Chinese used ink－on－paper finger impressions for business.However，fingerprinting wasn’t used as a method for identifying criminals until the 19th century.
In 1858，Sir William Herschel was working as an official of the Hooghly district in Jungipoor，India.In order to reduce fraud(诈骗)，he had people living in the district record their fingerprints when signing business documents.A few years later，Scottish doctor Henry Faulds was working in Japan when he discovered fingerprints left by artists on ancient pieces of clay.This finding inspired him to begin investigating fingerprints.In 1880，Faulds wrote to his cousin，the famous naturalist Charles Darwin，and asked for help with developing a fingerprint classification system.Darwin refused，but sent the letter to his cousin，Sir Francis Gallon，who was an eugenicist(优生学家)．Gallon began collecting fingerprints and eventually gathered some 8,000 different samples to analyze.In 1892，he published a book called Fingerprints，in which he outlined a fingerprint classification system—the first existence.
Around the same time，Juan Vucetich，a police officer in Buenos Aires，Argentina，was developing his own version of a fingerprinting system.In 1892，Vucetich was called in to assist with the investigation of the two boys murdered in Necoche，a village near Buenos Aires.Their mother，Francisca Rojas，accused a neighbour named Velasquez.But when Vucetich compared the fingerprints found at the murder scene to those of both Velasquez and Rojas，they matched Rojas’ exactly.She admitted her crime.This was the first time fingerprints had been used in a criminal investigation.Vucetich called his system comparative dactyloscopy(指纹鉴定法)．It’s still used in many Spanish－speaking countries.
Sir Edward Henry，in charge of the Metropolitan Police of London，soon became interested in using fingerprints to catch criminals.In 1896，he added to Gallon’s technique，creating his own classification system，the Henry Classification System.It is the primary method of fingerprint classification throughout most of the world.
44．Who first came up with the idea of creating a fingerprint classification system?
A．Herschel. B．Faulds.
C．Gallon. D．Darwin.
45．The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to“________”．
A．the fingerprints B．the two boys
C．the crimes D．the police officers
46．We can learn from the text that________.
A．Faulds collected many fingerprints while in Japan
B．Henry’s classification system is based on Gallon’s
C．Darwin showed great interest in studying fingerprints
D．Vucetich’s fingerprinting system is still used all over the world
47．What is the text mainly about?
A．Different uses of fingerprints.
B．The history of fingerprinting.
C．Countries that first used fingerprints.
D．The way to collect and analyze fingerprints.
D
Text messaging is a surprisingly good way to receive candid responses to sensitive questions，according to a new study to be presented this week at the annual meeting of the American Association for Public Opinion Research.“The preliminary(初步的)results of our study suggest that people are more likely to disclose sensitive information via text messages than in voice interviews，” says Fred Conrad，a psychologist at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research.
“This is sort of surprising，” says Conrad，“since many people thought that texting would decrease the likelihood of disclosing sensitive information because it creates a persistent，visual record of questions and answers that others might see on your phone and in the cloud.”
With text，the researchers also found that people were less likely to engage in “satisficing”—a survey industry term referring to the common practice of giving good enough，easy answers.“We believe people give more precise answers via texting because there’s just not the time pressure in a largely asynchronous(非同步的)mode like text that there is in phone interviews，”says Conrad.“As a result，respondents are able to take longer to arrive at more accurate answers.”
Conrad conducted the study with Michael Schober，a professor of psychology at the New School for Social Research.“We’re in the early stages of analyzing our findings，” says Schober.“But so far it seems that texting may reduce some respondents’ tendency to shade the truth or to present themselves in the best possible light in an interview，eve
