第二部分 閱读理解（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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer last summer. The training I received， though excellent， did not tell me how it was to work with a real student， however. When I began to discover what other peoples lives were like because they could not read， I realized the true importance of reading.

My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three. In the first lesson， I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didnt know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule （时刻表）， she told me it would not help because she could not read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket， because she couldnt always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words， she could not write out a shopping list. Also， she could only recognize items by sight， so if the product had a different label， she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.

As we worked together， learning how to read built Maries self-confidence， which encouraged her to continue her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip， she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program， she began helping her youngest son， Tony， a shy first grader with his reading. She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories. When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read， pride was written all over her face. As she described this experience， I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.

As a literacy volunteer， I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact， I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.

21. What did the writer do last summer？

A. She gave single mothers the help they needed. B. She helped someone to learn to read.

C. She worked in the supermarket. D. She helped a literacy volunteer.

22. Why didnt Marie go to the supermarket by bus at first？

A. She liked to walk to the supermarket. B. She lived far away from the bus stop.

C. She couldnt afford the bus ticket. D. She couldnt find the right bus.

23. How did Marie use to find the goods she wanted in the supermarket？

A. She touched them. B. She asked others to take her to the right place.

C. She found them by their looks. D. She remembered their names.

24. What did the writer think of her work as a literacy volunteer？

A. Meaningful. B. Interesting. C. Touching. D. Tiring.

Our library offers different types of studying places and provides a good studying environment.

Art is something that almost everyone can create. Pencil art is a free hand art with simple strokes （笔画） that give an elegant and unusual look. Any person can draw pencil art. It is an untruth that only an artist can draw. Creativity is more than enough to draw a work of art. Very different effects can be created in pencil art.

Drawing pencils are available with different types of leads， such as 4H， 2H， H， HB， B， 2B， 4B etc. The 4H pencil is the lightest lead pencil and produces light and thin lines， while 4B is the darkest lead pencil and produces dark and thick lines. Very unique effects can be created with these pencils.

Strokes are one of the most important factors in pencil art. The pressure that is applied on the lines or curves or arcs or circles or triangles or freehand drawings will decide the strength of stroke. It will add to the liveliness and to the depth of the art. Apart from stroke， blending （融合） and shading is one more factor in pencil art. A number of methods can be used to make changes of shape and color （within black and white） very easily. Even human fingers can be used. The popular method is using tissue paper for soft blend and salt paper for hard to make texture （質地） blend.

Take a flower as an example， the 2B pencil is used to draw the outline of the flower while the HB pencil is used to draw simple line strokes inside the flower. The center circle can be improved by the use of the 2B， HB and H pencils with pale finger blend.

29. The strength of stroke in pencil art is decided by ____ .

A. the pressure applied on the drawing B. the type of drawing pencils

C. the kind of drawing D. the quality of paper

30. What does the writer want to tell us by using the example in the last paragraph？

A. The 2B pencil is used to draw the outline of the flower.

B. The HB pencil is used to draw simple line strokes inside the flower.

C. The way to use different types of drawing pencils to draw pencil art.

D. The 2B， HB and H pencils are used to draw the center circle of the flower.

31. What can we learn from the passage？

A. Human fingers can not be used in pencil art. B. The type of paper has no effect on blending.

C. Creativity is very important in drawing art. D. The 2B pencil cant be used to draw the outline.

D

The latest study by the University of Florida has found that eating from smaller， less beautiful， and even paper plates will help prevent overeating. Eating with a fork instead of a spoon can help you lose weight， the researchers say. Much to their surprise， they find that putting mirrors in the dining room will also help reduce weight.

The researchers asked 185 college students to choose a chocolate cake or a fruit salad， and evaluated the taste. Those who ate in a room with a mirror scored the taste of junk food much lower than those in a room without a mirror. But the taste of fruit salad remained the same in any case.

Lead scientist， Dr Ata Jami， says that a glance in the mirror tells people more than just about their physical appearance. It enables them to view themselves objectively （客觀地） and helps them to judge themselves and their behavior in the same way that they judge other people.

The mirrors were found to push people to compare and match their own behavior with accepted social standards. The researchers believe it proves that people dont want to look in the mirror when they feel they are following the social standards. When they look in the mirror with mouths full of junk food， feelings of discomfort and failure can be increased. Therefore， the presence of the mirror lowers the taste of unhealthy food.

However， researchers say this is only the case if people select the food they are eating， because they are responsible for that choice. The researchers suggest that mirrors be placed in dining rooms and other eating spaces， so that people will start eating more healthily.

32. What are researchers amazed to find？

A. People using a fork will eat more. B. Paper plates make food look nicer.

C. Mirrors can help people lose weight. D. People will eat more in front of a mirror.

33. What can be inferred from the taste study？

A. Some teenagers got involved in it. B. People were required to eat with a spoon.

C. People preferred a chocolate cake to a fruit salad. D. The mirror may not affect the taste of healthy food.

34. According to Dr Ata Jami， the mirror ____ .

A. makes people judge others correctly B. makes people judge themselves well

C. is a necessary part of peoples daily life D. can show the appearance of a person

35. How can you feel if you look into a mirror with a mouthful of food？

A. Unfriendly. B. Strange. C. Uncomfortable. D. Silly.
