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

Ever feel like there arent enough hours in the day？ A group of time-challenged Canadian women are wishing for a 25-hour clock.

Jessie Behan， president of the 25th Hour Coalition which is a group of Canadian women who have changed to a longer day， said the struggle for women to protect work-life balance motivated （激发） her to research the bodys natural clock. “Many of my girlfriends are having kids， getting married， and I see the sufferings of dealing with all that when youre a working woman，” she said. “Women like myself are sick of living their lives by a 24-hour clock.”

A study by Charles Czeisler found that a switch to longer days could be beneficial， especially for frequent travelers， shift workers， astronauts and those who experience trouble sleeping or waking.

In a similar study， Czeisler showed the bodys natural clock averages 24 hours and 11 minutes in both young and older people. The current 360-degree clock has 720 minutes， giving each minute 0.5 degree. With the new 25-hour day， 30 minutes is added to each 12-hour period making each minute 0.48 degree.

While still a relatively small movement—the 25th Hour Coalition has 160 Facebook members， Behan is hoping for large changes. “The goal is to get as many women on board； theres no harm in just trying it out and seeing. If it gets big， maybe the government will decide to standardize （标准化） it.”

A recent online survey by Readers Digest， which included 150 people in each of the 13 countries， suggests that its not just Canadians looking for longer days. Readers were asked “what would you do with an extra hour” if given a choice between sleep， work， exercise and family time. In Spain， half of the respondents （调查对象） said theyd like an extra hour in the day to devote to family time. The same was found for respondents in Brazil， the US and Britain， who chose family time over sleep， which came in at a close second. Only in India did work top the list with 50 percent of respondents claiming they could use an extra hour at the office.

21. Some Canadian working women are campaigning for the 25-hour day in order to ____ .

A. keep a balance between life and work B. have more chances at work

C. experience something new D. have a better sleep

22. To whom would the 25-hour clock bring the most benefits according to Charles Czeisler？

a. Astronomers.

b. Shift workers.

c. Frequent travelers.

d. People with sleeping disorders.

A. a， b， c B. a， b， d C. b， c， d D. a， c， d

23. Why does Jessie Behan want more women to join the 25th Hour Coalition？

A. She plans to make more Facebook friends.

B. She hopes to get benefits from more people.

C. She considers it is harmless to form such an organization.

D. She thinks more women may make the dream come true.

24. What is implied from the last paragraph？

A. Respondents from most nations want more family time.

B. Respondents from developed countries experience more stress.

C. Most Canadian respondents claim that they need more family time.

D. Respondents from India are the most hardworking of the 13 nations.

Abby Sunderland is a 16-year-old Californian girl who was trying to sail solo around the world. She was last heard from at about 6 am， Pacific time Thursday， when she broke off a satellite phone call as her yacht （快艇） Wild Eyes was hit by huge waves in the southern Indian Ocean. She had reported 30-foot waves.

The search for Sunderland involved Australia， US and French rescue authorities （救援当局） sending ships and a plane to an area about 2，000 miles southeast of Madagascar and 2，000 miles southwest of Australia.

“We have just heard from the Australian Search and Rescue. The plane arrived on the scene moments ago. Wild Eyes is upright， but her rigging is down. The weather conditions are getting better. Radio communication has been made and Abby reports that she is fine！” her parents Laurence and Mariane posted on her blog. “We dont know much else right now. The French fishing ship that was sent to her location will be there in a little over 24 hours. But we dont know where they will take her or how long it will take，” they said.

Laurence Sunderland said his daughter had all of the safety equipment she needed， including a cold water survival suit， a life raft and a bag with emergency supplies.

“I dont know what shes doing in the Southern Ocean as a 16-year-old in the middle of winter. Its foolhardy （有勇无谋的） ，” Kiernan， one of the helpers， said.

Sunderland hoped to become the youngest sailor to travel around the globe all by herself without stopping anywhere. But she had to give up her chance at that record when she was forced to pull into a port at Cape Town， South Africa， for repairs to her boat.

25. What can we learn from Paragraph 2？

C. Rescuers were sure they would find Sunderland. D. Sunderlands parents had asked a plane for help.

26. What do we learn from what Sunderlands parents posted on her blog？

Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning， a middle， and an end with commercials （商业广告） thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.” “Drink Good Wet Root Beer.” “Fill up with Pacific Gas.” Only if you sleep， which is equal to turning the television set off， you are spared by the unending cry of “You Need It！ Buy It Now！”

The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting， even if youve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed： new houses， new buildings， sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and its fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless （鲁莽的） or daring， the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense （悬疑） story. Will the driver pass the truck in time？ Will the driver move into the right- or left-hand road？ After a while， of course， the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But youve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.

The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and theres a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat， of course， has become harder as the hours have passed. By now youve sat with your legs crossed， with your hands in your lap， with your hands on the armrests or even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at no more ways to sit.

29. What do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip according to Paragraph 1？

A. Gas stations. B. Buses on the road.

C. Films on television. D. Advertisements on the billboards.

30. The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are ____ .

A. comfortable B. exciting C. tiring D. boring

31. What would the writer probably favor？

A. Bus drivers who arent reckless. B. No billboards along the road.

C. A television set on the bus. D. Driving alone.

32. What is the purpose of this passage？

A. To persuade you to take a long bus trip. B. To describe the billboards along the road.

C. To give the writers opinion about long bus trips. D. To explain how bus trips and television shows differ.

D

What will people die of 100 years from now？ If you think that is a simple question， you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology （生物技术）. With the help of new medicine， the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents， murder and wars. Todays leading killers， such as heart disease， cancer， and aging itself， will become distant memories.

In discussion of technological changes， the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live？ Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells （细胞） are the basic units of all living things， and until recently， scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond l20 years because the basic materials of cells， such as those of brain cells， would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100， medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so， people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs （器官） （The medicine， made up of the basic building materials of life， will build new brain cells， heart cells， and so on—in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.）

It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence， but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.

33. According to Paragraph 1， human death is now mainly caused by ____ .

A. diseases and aging B. accidents and wars

C. accidents and aging D. heart diseases and wars

34. Why may humans live longer in the future？

A. Heart disease will be far away from us. B. Human brains can decide the final death.

C. The basic materials of cells will last forever. D. Human organs can be repaired by new medicine.

35. What can we learn from the passage？

A. Human life will not last more than 120 years in the future.

B. Humans have to take medicine to build new skin cells now.

C. Much needs to be done before humans can have a longer life.

D. The technical problems have already been solved in building new cells.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

36 Many schools have attempted to find ways for parents to participate in school management by setting up parent councils for parents to volunteer. However， while these may be important for developing a sense of community and parental ownership of the school and its issues （重要问题）， such activities do not translate directly to students achievement.

37 Simply asking the question， “So， what did you do in school today？” can start a discussion between parent and child about topics studied in class. Even talks at home about less classroom-specific topics that interest the student are shown to be important to raising student achievement. 38 Teachers can provide students with interesting ideas for starting school-related conversations at home. 39

The schools focus should be on how to enable parents and their children to have such meaningful conversations about the topics and ideas flowing from the classroom. 40 Finding ways to promote （促进） direct parent participation in their childrens lives at school and at home will have a much greater influence.

A. Some parents expect too much of their children.

B. Starting a parent council may not be the first option.

C. Self-education plays an important role in childrens development.

D. Teenagers can have rich and interesting conversations if encouraged.

E. Another way for parents to be more active in their childrens education is effective.

F. Nowadays， there is a growing recognition that parental involvement is one key to student achievement.

G. Telling children that school is valuable is a lot less effective than showing them it by being involved in what they are doing there.
