第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分） A large body of research has been developed in recent years to explain many aspects of willpower. Most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind: How can willpower be strengthened? If willpower is truly a limited resource, as the research suggests, what can be done to make it stay strong?
Avoiding temptation (诱惑) is an effective method for maintaining self-control, which is called the “out of sight, out of mind” principle. One recent study, for instance, found office workers less attracted to candy in the desk drawer than that on top of their desks, in plain sight.
The research suggesting that we possess a limited reservoir of selfcontrol raises a troubling question. When we face too many temptations, are we to fail? Not necessarily. Researchers don’t believe that one’s willpower is ever completely exhausted. Rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands. The right motivation allows us to tap into those reserves, allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down. High motivation might help overcome weakened willpower-at least to a point.
Willpower may also be made less vulnerable（脆弱）to being exhausted in the first place. Researchers who study self-control often describe it as being like a muscle that gets tired with heavy use. But there is another aspect to the muscle comparison, they say. While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strength.
The evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions on New Year’s Eve is the worst possible approach. Being exhausted in one area can reduce willpower in other areas, so it makes more sense to focus on a single goal at a time. In other words, don’t try to quit smoking, adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time. Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, Baumeister says, you’ll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will become routine, and won’t require making decisions at all.
1、From the studies in the passage we learn that .
A．people have unlimited self-control
B．high motivation ensures one’s success
C．willpower is hardly completely exhausted
D．too many temptations often lead to failure
2、The underlined phrase “tap into” in Paragraph 3 most probably means .
A．make use of B．run out of
C．build D．increase
3、The author compares self –control to muscles .
A．to prove the long-term effect of willpower
B．to show the significance of regular exercise
C．to argue that self-control can he easily used up
D．to explain the benefits of practicing self-control
4、To develop a good habit, which of the following does the author prefer?
A．“I will give up dessert and do exercise.”
B．“I will set three goals this new semester.”
C．“I will read an English novel every month.”
D．“I will keep myself from any temptation.”
22．（8分） When I first got an e-mail account ten years ago, I received communications only from family, friends, and colleagues. Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail, I have an endless series of advertisements and other correspondence that do not interest me at all. If we want e-mail to continue to be useful, we need specific laws that make spamming(发送垃圾邮件) a crime.
If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certainly get much worse. Computer programs allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of e-mails almost instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails. Would people continue to use e-mail if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?
This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well. Many spam e-mails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company. Companies rely on e-mail for their employees to communicate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively. Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks. These computer problems raise production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passes on to the consumer.
For these reasons, I believe that lawmakers need to legislate (立法) against spam. Spammers should be fined, and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. E-mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.
1、What does the underlined word “correspondence” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．messages B．ideas
C．connections D．programs
2、According to the text, what is the major cause of the flooding spam?
A．Companies rely on e-mail for communications.
B．More people in the world communicate by e-mail.
C．Many computer viruses contain spam e-mail.
D．More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam.
3、According to the author, who is the final victim of spam?
A．The business B．The advertiser
C．The employee D．The consumer
4、What is the purpose of the text?
A．To inform B．To educate
C．To persuade D．To instruct

25．（10分）Mr. Omorogbe was originally set to graduate in 2014. But after a fight with his dad, he was “tossed out” on the street. Eventually, his grandmother took him in for a while, but with her working during the day, Omorogbe needed to care for his seriously ill grandfather. School eventually became too much, so he dropped out.
For many students across the country, circumstances like Omorogbe’s can derail (使偏离轨道) them the high-school-to-college track. In his case, Boston Public School’s Re-Engagement Center was able to connect him with EDCO Youth Alternative, a school that provides extra support to nontraditional and struggling students. He started in September 2016 and will have his diploma in hand by May.
“I have my counselor (指导教师) who calls me every day. If I miss school for two or three days, she’ll call me, and ask, ‘Are you OK?’ ” says Omorogbe. “During the vacations, she’ll call me; for my birthda
