M： Our first winter in Canada was the happiest one we have ever experienced. We were living in the countryside then and had just arrived from Hong Kong that autumn. One evening in mid－December snow began to fall. When we looked out of the window and saw that it was snowing， we all felt very happy. It was the first snow we had ever seen and we were excited. Next morning when we woke up， it was still snowing. We turned on the radio and learned that more than ten inches of snow had fallen during the night and that since there was too much snow on the roads there would be no school that day. We jumped up and down with joy and asked Mother to let us go outside to play in the snow. She said we could go out after breakfast if we dressed ourselves warmly and promised to come back as soon as we felt cold. When we went out， the snow had almost stopped. The roads， paths， gardens， and playgrounds were all hidden under soft white snow. It was the most beautiful sight we had ever seen.

第二局部　阅读理解(共两节，总分值40分)
第一节(共15小题；每题2分，总分值30分)
阅读以下短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最正确选项。
A
Li Bingyin is now studying law at the Stern School of Business at New York University. She wrote this letter just before Hurricane Sandy destroyed the East Coast.
Dear readers，
The storm will really take_a_toll on the city! Right now I am sitting in my dormitory, waiting for the blackout (停电) to come at any second, and listening to the wind howl outside my windows. Hurricane Sandy is supposed to hit the East Coast hard today. Due to the bad weather, most schools and universities have cancelled classes for Monday and Tuesday.
Luckily, the university has taken measures to prepare for this storm. University officials sent out e­mails with explanation in the case of a blackout, evacuation (撤离), or other emergencies. Just recently, I received several text messages from the school about power off in certain dormitories. They advised us to prepare a bag with essentials (生活必需品), in case we need to leave the building and relocate to a safer location.
Yesterday I went out to buy a flashlight, but all of the nearby stores were sold out. Everyone was stocking up on (存储) water, food and other supplies for the storm.
Right now the city is unusually quiet. On any other day, there would be the sounds of cars, people chatting, and street artists performing. Tonight, there's just the wind and rain hitting the windows. The subway system has been closed since last night, and there is rarely anyone on the streets. Hopefully Hurricane Sandy will soon pass without leaving much damage.
Sincerely，
Li Bingyin
篇章导读：本文是一封书信，是一个就读于纽约大学的学生讲述的飓风桑迪来临前的情况。
21．What measures has the university taken to prepare for the storm?
A．The university has asked students to leave the school at once.
B．The university has asked students to close all the windows and doors.
C．The university has sent text messages to students about what time the storm will come.
D．The university has asked students to prepare necessary things in case of evacuation.
答案：D　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“They advised us to prepare a bag with essentials (生活必需品), in case we need to leave the building and relocate to a safer location.〞可知，学校让学生们准备必需品随时准备撤离。应选D项。
22．The underlined phrase “take a toll〞 means “________〞．
A．cause a loss B．hurt
C．flood D．bury
答案：A　词义猜想题。根据文章最后一句“Hopefully Hurricane Sandy will soon pass without leaving much damage.〞可知，暴风雨还没有到达，作者希望它很快过去，不留下太多破坏。因此推断画线短语所在句子的句意是：这场暴风雨会对这个城市造成损失。所以画线短语的意思是：造成损失。应选A项。
23．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．New York is a quiet city at other times.
B．New York is a busy city at other times.
C．Hurricane Sandy has already come.
D．The airport system has been closed since last night.
答案：B　推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“On any other day, there would be the sounds of cars, people chatting, and street artists performing.〞可知，平时的纽约，大街上总是有许多汽车声、人们的闲聊声还有许多街头艺人在表演，因此推断，在其他时候，纽约是一个忙碌的城市。应选B项。
B
If you think American cooking means opening a package and throwing the contents into the microwave oven (微波炉), think again. On the one hand, it's true that many Americans have cold cereal (谷类食品) for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and instant (方便的) dinners. From busy homemakers to working people, many Americans enjoy the convenience of fast food that can be ready to serve in 10 minutes or less. On the other hand, many Americans realize the importance of cooking skills. Parents—especially mothers—see the importance of training their children—especially daughters. Most Americans think that there's nothing better than a good home­cooked meal. But with cooking, as with any other skill, good results don't happen by accident.
Probably every cook has his or her own way of cooking. But there are some basic skills that most people follow. For example, baking is a main method of preparing food in America. For that reason, Americans would find it next to impossible to live without an oven. American cooks pay special attention to the balance of foods, too. In planning a big meal they try to include meat, a few vegetables, some bread and often a dessert. They also like to make sure the meal is colorful. Having several different colors of food on the plate usually makes for a healthy meal.
For those who need guidance in their cooking, or for those who have just run out of ideas，recipes are a great help. Recipes list all the ingredients for a dish (generally in the order used), the amount of each to use, and a description of how to put them together.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。全文讲述了美国人的饮食习惯。虽然美国人喜欢快餐，但他们也注意烹饪。注重营养搭配及食物的色香味。
24．This passage mainly tells us that ________.
A．without an oven, Americans find it impossible to live conveniently
B．Americans like to have several different colors of food on the plate
C．Americans usually have fast food, but they pay special attention to cooking as well
D．Americans pay special attention to recipes and nutritious meals
答案：C　主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“On the one hand, it's true that many Americans have cold cereal (谷类食品) for breakfast, ... On the other hand, many Americans realize the importance of cooking skills.〞以及下文的描述可知，这篇短文主要讲述的是美国人通常吃快餐，但是也注意烹饪技巧。应选C。
25．Many Americans have cold cereal for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and instant dinners because ________.
A．they like instant food very much
B．they don't like cooking at all
C．most American working people are busy and don't have time to cook
D．fast food is delicious and it usually contains a lot of vitamins
答案：C　推理判断题。根据第一段第三句“From busy homemakers to working people, many Americans enjoy the convenience of fast food that can be ready to serve in 10 minutes or less.〞可推知，大局部上班的美国人都很忙，没有时间做饭。应选C。
26．By saying “But with cooking, as with any other skill, good results don't happen by accident.〞， the author means “________〞．
A．Just like any other skill, cooking may bring good results
B．Cooking comes from one's gift, not through practice
C．Cooking can lead to accidents
D．Good cooking doesn't come easily; it needs a lot of practice
答案：D　句意理解题。前一句说的是：大局部美国人认为再没有什么能比一顿美味的家常饭更好的东西了。本句中with表示在某个方面，as with “正如〞。故本句直译为：但是对于烹饪来说，正如任何其他技术一样，好成绩不是偶然间得来的。也就是说：好的烹饪技术不是容易学会的，它需要许多练习。应选D。
27．From the passage, we know that ________.
A．Americans don't care about food
B．Americans are not good at cooking because they like to use recipes
C．an oven plays an important role in cooking for Americans
D．while cooking, Americans usually run out of ideas
答案：C　细节理解题。根据第二段第四句“For that reason, Americans would find it next to impossible to live without an oven.〞可知，对于美国人来说，微波炉在烹饪当中扮演着重要的角色。应选C。
C
Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world, people take naps in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may ad
