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

If you are planning to study in the United States, you need to consider several factors. Everyone has different opinions about where is the best place to live in. Also, the best places to live in are not always home to the best schools. Finally, many schools specialize in different areas of study. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (麻省理工学院)，for example, is a great school for computer science and technology-related fields of study. However, if you want to study oceanography(海洋学)，your interests may be better served by attending school in a place that is on a coastline or near the ocean. Now I am sure that you know which schools are considered the best in the country.

So I will tell you about which states I believe are the best to live in.

California is a nice state. Northern California specifically has very good weather. Los Angeles in Southern California is another story though. Life in Los Angeles is full of excitement and fast, and sometimes dangerous. As for me, I enjoy the time I spent in Massachusetts, Virginia and Maryland and these states have a lot of history and culture. The weather is not as perfect as Northern California, but it is still quite nice. My favorite area of America is the Mid-west. Middle America, I think, is home to the true American sense of values. In addition, there are many good universities there.

Also, you need to think about your likes and dislikes and then research the various states. You like sunshine and hate snow? Then you probably won't like the Midwest or even the Northeast. Open space, nature and peace and quiet? Then you probably should stay away from America's large cities. Are you interested in government? Then Washington D.C. is the only place for you. Whatever you decide, put some thought into it. The place you live in could be the difference between a great study-abroad experience and a state of great suffering on earth.

21.From the first paragraph we can conclude that in the USA _____.

A. all colleges and universities lie in big cities

B. all colleges and universities lie in beautiful places

C. famous colleges and universities lie in nice places

D. famous colleges and universities may not lie in nice places

22.What, according to the writer, should be considered first if you want to study in the USA?

A. The climate. B. The scenery. C. The study condition. D. The living condition.

23. If you study in Middle America, you can probably _____.

A. find the best universities B. feel the real character of the nation

C. meet the most famous professors there D. face more difficulties

B

Fear plays no part in this latest problem．“I‟m not afraid I'll lose my children．I won't lose my children. We live together, and nothing, nothing,” she repeats, her voice rising when speaking to John's lawyer, “will stop me from being with my children. A law? Year, right. Don't disturb me when it comes to my children. You are never going to win. If John wants to see them, I cannot stop him. He's their father—I want them to see him! However, his visit in his present condition will disturb the children's stable (稳定的) life．”w_w*w.k_s*5_u.c_o m John, who has spent much of his time in California recently, has only hired a house

for himself in Pennsylvania, according to his lawyer. "If he'd like to stick to a regular life, I'd be more than happy to do that，" Jane says. "The best thing for any child of a divorced (离婚的) parent is a stable life. I want nothing more than for him to set up a stable life for himself, so that he can be part of making our children's lives more stable. "

While matters of money and care won't be settled for weeks, Jane hardly puts her life on hold. Last week the ABC network announced that Jane would return with her own show, Twist of Jane, in which she gives advice to other moms．Jane and her eight children will also return to ABC in a series of Jane Plus 8 specials showing them on various adventures．It‟s a rest for Jane．who insists that she needs her new，busy life to provide for her family．“I have to lead such a life．and I‟m thankful that I‟ve built it to the top where now I can support my children．”she says．

And whether a bellicose(好斗的)dance judge or a bellicose former wife，Jane plans to keep on facing attacks on her. “Some people try to knock me down—only to make me more fierce，more protective，more determined to do better，”she says．“Go ahead，take me on．This will just make me stronger．

On a hot day, it can be hard to know what to do to feel good.

Playing in water is one way to feel cooler. Taking a cool bath or a shower can feel really good on a hot day.

It is also important for us to drink water. If you feel thirsty, you should drink water immediately. On hot days, you can lose about 16 glasses of water in one day, so

many doctors advise that you should try to drink at least that much every day. Mixing a little fruit juice into your water is a fun way to help you drink plenty of water.

The food we eat also makes a difference in how we feel in the heat. Cold food, such as ice cream and drinks with some ice, can cool down our bodies. However, eating spicy(辛辣的) food makes our bodies even warmer.

The clothes we wear can help us feel cooler as well. Light-coloured, light-weight clothes feel cooler in the sun than dark, heavy clothing. Loose(宽松的）clothes are more comfortable in the heat than tight(紧身的）ones.

Even though it is not healthy to run around during the hottest time of the day, that doesn‟t mean a hot day is not fun! You can read stories in your room. You can also paint or draw without moving your body too much. These are just some of many cool things to do on a hot day.

28. How much water do we need in one hot day?

A. Only 16 glasses of water. B. Less than 16 glasses of water.

C. At least 16 glasses of water. D. As much as possible.

29. What can‟ t you do on a hot day if you want to feel good?

A. Read a book. B. Eat ice cream.

C. Swim in the pool. D. Play volleyball on the beach.

30. What kind of clothes can help us feel cooler on a hot day?

A. Loose clothes. B. Dark clothes.

C. Tight clothes. D. Heavy clothes.

31. What‟s the main idea of the passage?

A. A hot day is fun.

B. Entertainments on hot days.

C. We don‟t know what to do on a hot day.

D. There are many things to do to feel good on a hot day. D

The Top 4 Lies Girls Hear

1. “You'll never be good at math.”

It's generally accepted that boys are good at math while girls aren't. The fact is that it isn't true—at least, it doesn't have to be. When girls reach their teens，most of them lose their interest in math. They're trying to be regarded as female(女性)．They want to stay away from things that are boy things, and math is still considered a boy thing. Math class is hard, but if you gave it a chance you could be great at math, especially because you are a girl.

2. “Being skinny is good, and how you diet is your business.”

Lots of web sites tell visitors that losing interest in eating is a beautiful thing. These “skinny is better” sites are lying. Losing interest in eating is a disease, not a fashion

statement. It can kill you.

3. “You don't deserve to make as much money as a guy.”

It's said that in 2002 women who work full-time earn about 23 percent less than guys earn. Once you see real women succeeding in cool jobs, you'll truly get that you're worth just as much as—or more than any guys.

4. “Caffeine(咖啡因)will help you study better.”

Caffeinated soft drinks have long been advertised as must haves when you have to work very hard. But if you want to do your body a big favor, you'd better give up caffeine altogether.

32. Why do girls lose their interest in math?

A．Because they don't realize the importance of math.

B．Because math class is too hard for girls.

C．Because they aren't interested in the things which are considered boy things.

D．Because girls are not as clever as boys.

33. The word “skinny” means________.

A. pretty B．strong C．tall D．slim

34. Supposing in 2002 a man earns $20,000, how much will a woman who doing the same job probably get?

A.$10,000 B．$15,000 C．$20,000 D．$25,000

35. Which of the statement is NOT true?

A. Girls sometimes can do better than boys in math.

B. Being skinny is good for girls‟ health.

C. Girls than earn as much money as boys do.

D. Caffeine can make people feel more excited.
