Ⅱ 阅读(共两节，满分50分)
第一节：阅读理解(共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Are you happy with your teeth? Becca, a 15-year-old girl from the US is not. She decided her teeth needed to be whiter. “They weren't that bad, but I wanted to make them all the same colour”, she said.
　　In the last five years, teeth whitening has become very popular among young Americans. Now the trend (潮流) has come to China. If you turn on the TV you can see the Hong Kong pop star Karen Mok showing her bright white teeth, saying, "Want to be like me? Use white teeth strips (牙贴)!" You may even have decided to buy one.
But wait a minute. Dentists have something to say. They think that kids should not use whitening products until they are 16 or even older.
　　"We don't know what will happen yet," says Dr. Nasrin Azim, a dentist in Chicago. "Studies have not been done on young people. I wouldn't do teeth whitening on anyone under 18."
　　The problem with whitening lies in the pulp (牙髓), the innermost (最深处的) part of the tooth. It has the tooth's nerve (神经) ending. When we eat very hot or cold things, it's the pulp that hurts. Kids have larger pulps. The larger pulp might make teeth more sensitive to whitening and get hurt.
　　Another problem is that the gums around the teeth usually change shape with age. So, if someone whitens his or her teeth during childhood, the darker, natural colour might show later around the gum line. At that time, your teeth will show two colours. And the darker colour is difficult to whiten.
　　So, wait another few years before you make your teeth whiter. Or if you really want to do it, ask your dentist. They'll give you useful advice.

　26. This passage mainly talks about ________.
　　A. how to whiten your teeth B. the new trend of whitening teeth
　　C. Americans with white teeth D. dentists' advice on tooth whitening
　27. The show done by Karen Mok is probably a(n) ________.
　　A. notice 　　 B. announcement C. advertisement 　　 D. talk show
28. When we eat hot or cold food, the pulp hurts because _________.
　　A. it is inside the teeth B. it is sick
　　C. it is rich in nerves D. it is not used to this kind of food
　29. What may happen if children do tooth whitening according to dentists? ________.
　　A. Their teeth may show two colours later. B. Their gums may change shape with age.
　　C. Their teeth may get darker. D. They may lose their teeth.
30. We can infer from the passage that _________.
　　A. dentists like very much the idea of tooth whitening
　　B. more and more people in China will get their teeth whitened
　　C. it's necessary for children to whiten their teeth
　　D. tooth whitening will certainly bring good results for people.

Modern science suggests that a healthy lifestyle matters much to how long you can live and how well you live. Here are some tips for you to form a healthy lifestyle.
Keep a scientific diet. Keep in mind that sugar can be removed from our diet completely. Over intake of sugar is one of the main reasons for getting fat. Over intake of protein or fat and low intake of fiber can also lead to getting fat. We need only a few grams of protein every day to keep our body in order. Like rain to crops, not the more the better.
Be always in a good mood. There is a relationship between the mood and health. A good mood keeps you in high spirits. Thanks to the internet, we can enjoy and learn much without going out. Take a look at some online shops and pick up some bargains, enjoy music and movies and chat with some good friends. Just keep happy.
Enough sleep. Two studies show the reasons why teens and adults don’t have enough sleep. With teens, a major reason is mobile phone use; with adults, it’s work. Meanwhile, a third study of young children shows that a lack of sleep in early life may lead to serious problems in future. Everyone needs at least 8-hour sleep to recover from tiredness and the hurt caused by hard work in the daytime.

Korean culture is really exciting right now. The Korean Wave is sweeping Asian countries including China. Young people are going crazy about Korean TV dramas, Korean pop songs, taekwondo and the Korean language.

　　In the music world, Korean girls are making themselves heard in China. You can often find big Korean names like Baby Vox, S. E. S and Finkle at the top of the Chinese music charts (排行榜).

There are many colors in nature. But do you know if a color has weight? I think you’ll say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do a small experiment.
　　First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the box. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.
　　Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did man tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind and their order is the same. The heaviest color is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.
　　The scientist told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every color stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength. It reaches our brain through sense organs .
According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill. For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.

41. The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us ________.
A. a red box is heavier than a white one B. a color has weight in one’s mind
C. white paper is lighter than red paper D. you can know the weight of a color by holding it
42. Why did the scientist say colors have smell? ________.
A. Because people can sense the light from colors.
B. Because we can smell colors with our nose.
C. Because every color has its own sweet smell.
D. Because every color can give off light of the same length.
43. If a person walks from a blue room to a red room, his body temperature will ________.[高考资源网]
A. rise B. fall C. stay the same D. change now and then
44. It can be implied from the text that ________.
A. colors have orders in weight
B. colors can change the weight of an object
C. people would stay longer in a room with red windows
D. colors can affect our mood and health
45. This passage is probably a ________.

以下是五个人关于婚姻的讲述，请将他们的讲述和以上观点匹配。
46. Megan
Sometimes I think that successful marriages are an endangered societal species. It seems as though every time I turn around, another couple I know is getting divorced. It’s a shame because marriage is very important. I believe that if people put more effort into making their marriages work, there would be fewer divorces. Marriage takes certain characteristics to make it a success, such as responsibility and sense of humor. It partners all understand this, more happy marriages will be maintained.
47. Amanda
One thing I think that is important to successful marriage is that you should not always think of yourself. My husband and I have stayed happily for about ten years. He makes me know there are many times he would rather read, relax, or work on the car, but he only does something for himself when all the household chores are done and the kids have been taken care of. In return, I bake him all his favorite home-made cakes and cookies and try to go out of my way to do specia
