第二部分 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
When I was a child, I had to go to church and obey many other rules, though these rules at times caused resentment (怨恨). Perhaps the most extreme parenting decision my parents made for my four brothers and sisters and me was to create a home environment without a television.
We hated this decision at that time, because there was seemingly no way to keep this embarrassing fact a secret at school. Naturally, simple pleasures like cartoons, football games, and movies became huge novelties (新奇事物). I would go over to friends’ or relatives’ houses for that access alone.
When I reached high school, my parents bought a television, though it had no cable. However, I did spend most of my childhood in a home without a television. In fact not having a television did contribute a great deal to my skills, and it also forced me to develop other valuable interests. We grew up in a small town, so my brothers and sisters and I spent time exploring streets, fields and woods. And of course I read and wrote and studied, which pushed me toward a career path.
So would I give a similar situation to my own children if I had them? I doubt it, at least not in the most extreme sense. I’m too much of a football fan, not to mention the TV serials (连续剧) like The Wire. But television or almost anything for that matter is unhealthy for kids. It can prevent them from living a full life. So maybe a reasonable answer is no cable or no video-game systems or simply setting the time limit, but I haven’t exactly worked out how to confine it yet. Although some people are against my idea, we do need limits after all.
21. From the text we can learn that ______.
A. the author didn’t like watching TV as a child
B. the author’s family seldom went to church
C. not having a TV set brought the author many benefits
D. few homes had a TV set when the author was a child
22. From the last paragraph we can learn the author thinks that ______.
A. children shouldn’t watch TV too much
B. children should be forbidden to watch TV
C. children should only watch serials and sports on TV
D. watching TV is unhealthy for both adults and children
23. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “confine” in the last paragraph?
A. Limit. B. Punish. C. Reject. D. Support.
B
In the spring of my career, I found myself questioning the choice of my life’s work. The students did not appear to be motivated; the paperwork was overwhelming (巨大的) and the constant changes of educational direction were discouraging. But I just could not bring myself to do anything else. “Next year,” I would say, “next year I will switch jobs, make more money and have far less stress.” Next year just never came. I am now in my forties. And while I am no longer in the classroom or at the schoolhouse, I remain an educator. It finally dawns on me that there is no other profession that will let me change children’s minds and have an impact on their future. For every student that finally “got it”, for every new teacher that said, “You inspired me to stay,” I get the raise that has never quite made it to my paycheck.
I was on a plane recently and the flight attendant asked my name. When I told him, he said, “I knew that was you! You taught at my elementary school. You made me take my cap off in the building and told me I was handsome.” He then paused and said, “I think I kept my hat on until you saw me, just so I could get that compliment (赞美). Thank you for making me feel special.”
We have now entered an age where nothing is private and secrets are hard to keep. Your “friends” are counted by simply clicking a button. Face-to-face interactions are seen by many as unnecessary and time-consuming. Of course, we can do anything online, including teaching and learning. But I guess I am just old school. I want to look into your eyes when the answer finally dawns on you.
24. From the first paragraph, we can learn that the author _____.
A. never wanted to change the job B. wasn’t a success as a teacher
C. doesn’t regret being an educator D. was not happy with her paycheck
25. The author told us the experience in Paragraph 2 mainly to show _____.
A. feedback on teachers’ classes from students
B. the friendship between teachers and students
C. an important role praise plays in people’s life
D. the great influence teachers have on students
26. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The author is out of fashion in today’s world.
B. The author still prefers face-to-face communication.
C. The author thinks online communication is boring.
D. The author suggests that people stay away from the Internet.
27. What could be the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To make a summary of her teaching career.
B. To express her views on the Internet.
C. To show the influence of a teacher.

D. To share her belief as a teacher.
C
Imagination Stage is a children’s theater in the state of Maryland. A special performance is put on for children with autism (自闭症) each day. People with autism have difficulty communicating and socializing with other people. Children in the theater are allowed to move around during the performance. It’s OK if they shout out or hold their ears when the music is too loud. These special performances are sometimes the only thing that a family can go to the theater together to see if a child has autism.
That is the same idea with Autism on the Seas. This company organizes vacations for families of children with autism, especially vacations on cruise ships. Jamie Grover is director of group development in Autism on the Seas. He said, “With our staff on board, parents know that they are going to be able to relax, enjoy their vacation, and participate in ship activities. They know that their children are well taken care of.”
The benefit of such vacations organized by Autism on the Seas is not waiting in huge lines on departure day. The company has staff to help in the ports. Waiting in long lines or being in the middle of big crowds can cause problem behavior in children with autism. Autism on the Seas helps families avoid situations like that.
Autism on the Seas works with the help of cruise companies like Royal Caribbean. Special times or places are arranged for families to play video games, go skating or rock climbing, or eat dinner. Autism on the Seas also directs families to organizations that can help them pay for these vacations.
Bambi Van Woert from the state of Michigan went on a cruise with her 7-year-old Ben, who has autism. She said, “I would never do something like this myself. I cannot take Ben shopping by myself at this point, so for me to try to do a cruise without help would be absurd.”
28. What makes the children’s theatre Imagination Stage special?
A. That it only allows children with autism to enter.
B. That it puts on plays performed by people with autism.
C. That it mainly puts on plays about people with autism.
D. That it puts on special performances for kids with autism.
29. What do we know about the company Autism on the Seas?
A. It helps families of children with autism pay for vacations.
B. It was started with the help of the cruise company Royal Caribbean.
C. It organizes vacations for families of children with autism.
D. It takes care of kids with autism while their parents are away.
30. The third paragraph mainly tells us ______.
A. some occasions that kids with autism should avoid
B. some behavioural problems of children with autism
C. some activities children with autism can take part in
D. the benefit of vacations organized by Autism on the Seas
31. Bambi Van Woert is mentioned in the last paragraph to show that ______.
A. parents of a child with autism don’t want such trips
B. parents of a child with autism live a very difficult life
C. children with autism don’t like doing anything with their parents
D. such cruise trips can really help families of children with autism
