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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Three quarters of a million tourists flock to the white beaches every year，but this booming industry has come at a price.Poisonous smoke rising from open fires，rubbish made up of plastic bottles，packets...，it's a far cry from the white sands，clear waters and palm trees that we associate with the Maldives(马尔代夫)，the paradise island holiday destination set in the Indian Ocean.
Of its 200 inhabited islands，which are spread across an area of 35，000 square miles，99 are good resorts (旅游胜地)．So many tourists come every year，more than double the local population.Of these，over 100，000 travel from the UK.The capital，Male，is four times more densely populated than London.Given these facts，it's hardly surprising that the Maldives has a waste disposal problem.
Years ago，when the tourists left，the government had to deal with a stream of rubbish.Their solution was to turn one of the islands into a dumping ground.Four miles west of Male is the country's dumping ground，Thilafushi.What you are seeing here is a view of the Maldives on which no honeymooners would like to clap eyes.Each visitor produces 3.5 kg of waste per day.The country dumps more than 330 tons of rubbish on the island every day.
Now，since many waste boats，tired of waiting seven hours or more，directly offload their goods into the sea，the government of the Maldives has banned the dumping of waste on the island.So，the waste boats ship the rubbish to India instead.
1．The underlined part in Paragraph 1 can probably be understood as“________”．
A．It's quite similar to
B．It's a long distance from
C．It's a loud shout from
D．It's totally different from
2．What is the main cause of the waste disposal problem
A．The large local population.
B．Too many waste boats.
C．The large number of tourists.
D．Dumping rubbish into the sea.
3．What can we learn from the text
A．It is much more crowded in Male than in London.
B．Another island will be used as a dumping ground.
C．No honeymooners are willing to visit the Maldives.
D．Waste on islands will be offloaded directly into the sea.
B
When we are young we are taught that it's wrong to lie and we should always tell the truth.Unfortunately，most children lie even if they're told not to.Research carried out at the Institute of Child Study at Toronto University has shown that this might not be such a bad thing.Apparently (显然地)，children who tell lies when they're two years old have a good chance of becoming successful adults (成年人)．
According to the research，at the age of two，20 per cent of children lie.At the age of three，50 per cent lie，and at four almost 90 per cent lie.By the age of twelve almost every child tells lies.
Lying needs much brain work，and the better the lie is，the more work the brain has to do.By training the brain early，researchers believe children will be able to think more clearly when they are adults.
Recent research，carried out by the Science Museum in London，has shown some interesting facts about the way we lie as adults.According to the research，the average British man tells three lies every day；that's over 1，000 lies a year.However，the average woman apparently only lies twice a day.
Most people think women are better liars (说谎者) than men although in fact they tell fewer lies.Popular women's lies include ‘Nothing's wrong，I'm fine'，‘I don't know where it is，I haven't touched it'，and ‘It wasn't that expensive'.
Some people say you can lie as long as it's a white lie.A white lie is a lie told to avoid hurting someone's feelings.One of the most common lies for both men and women is ‘It's just what I've always wanted'，said after opening a present from their partner.
4．What's the true feeling behind the underlined part in the last paragraph
A．You know me so well.
B．I don't like the present.
C．You are good at picking presents.
D．I haven't received a present I really like.
5．What will happen to young children who lie
A．They will possibly do wrong later.
B．They're likely to succeed in the future.
C．They will keep lying when they grow up.
D．They may have a good chance of losing others' trust.
6．What do the numbers in Para.2 show about children
A．Older children tell bigger lies than younger ones.
B．As they grow they often lie about their age.
C．The older they are，the more likely they lie.
D．It's quite natural for them to tell lies.
7．What did the research by the Science Museum find out
A．Men lie more than women.
B．Women are better liars than men.
C．Women's lies are usually not serious.
D．Men sometimes have to lie to women.
C
Young people are perhaps better known for spending money than saving it.But some new banking websites are seeking to change that.These websites offer young people the information and tools they need to watch over their money.The websites also let the users share their financial experiences with other young people.
Nineteen year old Alix Scott has been working at a store this summer.She is saving money to pay for college next year.“I have to save for all my college money because my parents can't afford to co sign on loans.So，I have to rely on my own savings.”
But instead of putting her money in a local bank，Miss Scott began using SmartyPig，a web based banking service.
SmartPig was developed by Michael Ferrari with a friend in 2007.It is really all about helping people save for very specific goals，such as a wedding，a vacation or an iPhone.
Michael Ferrari said : “For example，you want to save five thousand dollars for a vacation in three years.SmartyPig will actually calculate how much money you need to save every month.You don't have to move from your existing bank，we'll actually go in and withdraw those funds on the day you specify every month and we'll put it into your SmartyPig account，where it'll earn interest，as well.”
SmartyPig also enables outsiders to add money to the accounts of its users.“Perhaps a holiday is coming up or your birthday is coming up，and rather than getting a gift，your friends，your family can actually contribute to any of your SmartyPig goals.”Mr.Ferrari said.He believes that as technology continues to develop，more and more people will use the electronic banking sites.
A growing number of young people have shown an interest in online banking sites like SmartyPig.They say they like the ease of operation and services the sites offer.These personal finance websites offer tools that help users follow their spending，set up a budget，and combine their investments.And they all involve social media，which interests young adults who are already at ease about sharing their personal information online.
8．What do we know about SmartyPig
A．It was created in 2008.
B．It offers the best rate.
C．It was founded by Michael Ferrari alone.
D．It is a tool for helping consumers save money.
9．According to the text，users of SmartyPig ________．
A．can share their experiences of saving money
B．need to put their money in their SmartyPig account
C．have access to low rate loans
D．Can often receive free gifts from SmartyPig
10．The last paragraph mainly talks about________．
A．how to save money on SmartyPig
B．why young people like online banking sites
C．what SmartyPig should do to improve its services
D．how online banking sites differ from traditional banks
11．Which of the following is TRUE of Alix Scott
A．She can't afford her college education.
B．She has received a student loan.
C．She prefers online banking services to local banks.
D．She has been working part time at weekends.
D
From a very early age，some children exhibit better self control than others.Now，a new study that began with about 1，000 children in New Zealand has tracked how a child's low self control can predict poor health，money troubles and even a criminal record in their adult years.
Researchers have been studying this group of children for decades now.They observed the level of self control the youngsters displayed.Parents，teachers，even the kids themselves，scored the youngsters on measures like“acting before thinking”and“Persistence in reaching goals.”The study led by Moffitt of Duke University and colleagues followed 1，000 children from birth to age 32 in Dunedin，New Zealand.
“The children who had the lowest self control when they were age three to ten，later on had the most health problems in their 30s，”Moffitt said，“and they had the worst financial situation.They were more likely to have a criminal record and to be raising a child as a single parent on a very low income.”Moffitt explained that self control problems were widely observed，and weren't just a feature of a small group of misbehaving kids.
Moffitt said it's still unclear why some children have better self control than others，though she said other researchers have found that it's mostly a learned behavior，with relatively little genetic influence.But good self control can be set to run in families because children with good self control are more likely to grow up to be healthy and prosperous parents.But the good news，Moffitt said，is that self control can be taught by parents，and through school curricula that have been shown to be effective.
12．Children with low self control are more likely to ________．
A．become wealthy in later life
B．get good school performance
C．have better financial planning
D．adopt negative behaviors
13．What can be inferred from the passage
A．Self control cannot be taught in schools.
B．The study is restricted within few participants.
C．It's never too late to deal with self control problems.
D．Good parenting can improve self control and life success.
14．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A．Child's Self control Predicts Future Health，success
B．Kids are Encouraged to Take Risks at an Early Age
C．Children's Development Cannot be Changed by Teachers
D．How to Teach the Kids a Bit of Self control in schools.
15．From the first two paragraphs we learn that________．
A．the research has been carried out for five years
B．self control in kids tends to determine their future
C．self control was assessed by children's intelligence
D．children's self control is almost the same at early age

When I received my admission decision for Middlebury，my mouth dropped open in genuine (真的) shock. 1 Feeling unprepared，I was considering taking a gap year.
However，in processing this，I could only think about the negative points of taking a break between high school and college.I would fall behind my peers.I would forget everything I learned in high school with seven months of no learning. 2
Upon arriving at Middlebury for the admitted student days，I was amazed at the beauty of the town and the campus.While speaking with Midd kids (as students are called)，they all appeared happy and generally stress free.
3 In August，a few Midd kids I had met and befriended during the admitted student days suggested going to Newburyport，MA for a week.For the first time，I went on a road trip with someone I had only known for a few months.Yet，this trip showed me the freedom of being an independent adult in a way I had not felt at home.
4 My gap semester was the best beginning to adulthood because it helped me become mature in an unexpected and enriching manner， 5
To students reflecting on a gap year，be brave and do things that are outside your comfort zone.Talk to people: the world has so much to teach.
A．I didn't think I was a worthy enough candidate to get accepted.
B．It was my way of letting go and starting a new chapter of my life.
C．But eventually I decided to apply to Middlebury for a few reasons.
D．I also opened my mind to the benefits of talking some time off from my studies.
E．I felt like a gap year would narrow down what I wanted to study and do in my life.
F．My trips provided me with a sense of freedom and independence I did not experience during my teens.
G．Once I restarted my academic studies，I would actually perform better than those who went straight from high school to college.

A wealthy man and his son liked to collect rare works of art.They had everything in their collection，from Picasso to Raphael.They would often sit together and admire these great works of art.
When the Vietnam conflict broke out，the son went to war.Unfortunately he died in battle while rescuing another soldier.The father was in deep sorrow for his only son.
About a month later，just before Christmas，there was a knock at the door.A young man stood at the door with a large package in his hands.He said，“Sir，you don't know me，I am the soldier for whom your son gave his life.” “He saved many lives that day，and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart and killed him instantly.” “He often talked about you，and your love of art.” The young man held out this package.“I know this isn't much.” “I'm not a great artist，but I think your son would have wanted you to have this.”
The father opened the package.It was a picture of his son，painted by the young man.He stared in surprise at the way the soldier captured the personality of his son in the painting.The father was so drawn to the eyes that his own eyes welled with tears.He thanked the young man and offered to pay for the painting.“Oh，no sir，I could never repay what your son did for me.It's a gift.”
The father hung the picture on the hall.Every time visitors came to his home he took them to see the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other great works he had collected.
The man died a few months later.There was to be a great auction(拍卖) of his art collection.Many influential people gathered，excited over seeing the great paintings and having the opportunity to purchase one for their collection.

Paragraph 1：
On the platform sat the painting of the son.The auctioneer banged his hammer.“We will start the bidding with the picture of the son.Who will bid for this painting？” There was silence.Then a voice in the back of the room angrily shouted，“We didn't come to see this picture.We want to see his great works of art.” But the auctioneer continued.“Will somebody bid for this painting Who will take the son？”
Paragraph 2：
Finally a voice came from the back of the room. “I'll give $10.00 for the painting.” It was the gardener of the father and his son.Being a poor man it was all he could afford.“We have $10，who will bid $20？” No response.“Going once，twice，sold for $10！” “Now the auction is over！” The auctioneer laid down his hammer and explained，“When I was called to conduct this auction，I was told that only the painting of the son would be auctioned.And whoever purchased the picture of the son would receive all the father's possessions，including the paintings.”
