第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50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，并在机读卡上将该项涂黑。（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
Passage 1
The Information Highway is the road that links computer users to a large number of on-line services; the Web, e-mail, and software, to mention just a few. Not long ago, the Information Highway was a new road, with not many users. Now, everyone seems to want to take a drive, with over 30 million families connected worldwide. Not surprisingly, this well-traveled highway is starting to look like a well-traveled highway. Traffic jams can cause many serious problems, forcing the system to close down for repair. Naturally, accidents will happen on such a crowed road, and usually victims are some files, gone forever. Then, of course, there’s Mr. Cool, with his new broad-band connection, who speeds down the highway faster than most of us can go. But don’t trick yourself; he pays for that speeding.
Passage 2
Want to know more about global warming and how you can help prevent it? Doctor Herman Friedman, who is considered a leading expert on the subject, will speak at Grayson Hall next Friday. Friedman studied environmental science at three well-known universities around the world before becoming a professor in the subject. He has also traveled around the world observing environmental concerns. The gradual bleaching (变白) of the Great Barrier Reef, which came into the public eye in 2002, is his latest interest. Signed copies of his colorful book, which was published just last month, will be on sale after his talk.
31. The Information Highway _______.
A. is free from traffic accidents B. is crowded with car drivers
C. offers just a few on-line services D. appeals to a large number of users
32. How does Mr. Cool manage to travel the Information Highway so fast ?
A. By storing fewer files . B. By repair the system.
C. By buying a better computer. D. By using a broad-band connection.
33. What can be learned from Passage 2 ?
A. There will be a book show at Grayson Hall
B. Friedman is now studying the Great Barrier Reef.
C. There will be a talk on global warming this week.
D. Friedman is a leading expert on computer science.
34. Passage 2 is most probably _______.
A. a poster about a lecture.
B. an ad for a new book.
C. a note to a doctor in a university.
D. an introduction to a professor .
B
If you feel at present that you don’t have enough friends in your life, one reason may be that you have let yourself become too busy to make time for the relationships you already have. Starting and keeping friendship requires effort and commitment. Many of us let our lives become so busy with work and other commitments that we don’t get around to scheduling time for pleasure and renewal with the friends, relatives and acquaintances we already have. Making the effort to call your friends more regularly and to accept more of the invitations you receive from others can improve your social life in a hurry! Are there any people you could call right now and be assured of a pleasant welcome? Are there people that you could count on to help you in time of difficulty? Can you have close talks with them? Do you have fun when you are together? Are you happy to have them in your life? If you haven’t seen much of them lately, is it because you have become too busy? Have you grown apart? Was there an argument? If the main reason why you haven’t been getting together with the people you already know is that you have gotten too busy, take a good look at how you spend your time. Compare it with your real values and priorities in life. Is your busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want? If you have become too busy for friends, why has this happened? Are you seeking material toys in your life at the expense of relationships with other human beings? Have you allowed your time to be over-committed because you never say “No” to anyone? Do you insist on doing things yourself that could be left to others? If so, why? Do you believe that everything depends on you? Examine whether the way you are now spending your time accurately reflects your deepest values and priorities. Make sure that you schedule adequate time for the things that are truly most important to you. If you really want to keep friends in your life, make a space in your schedule, and a space in your heart for them.35. In this passage the author mainly discusses ______. A. how to balance friendship and work B. how to spend our spare time C. whether we should keep friendship D. whether we should invite friends to dinner36. Which of the following doesn’t indicate a good relationship? A. You have someone to count on when you are in trouble. B. You have someone to have close talks with. C. You feel depressed with others in life. D. You have fun when you are with someone.
C
Flying over a desert area in an airplane, two scientists looked down with trained eyes at trees and bushes. After an hour’s flight one of the scientists wrote in his book, “Look here for probable metal.” Walking across hilly ground, four scientists reported, “This ground should be searched for metals.” From an airplane over a hilly wasteland a scientist sent back by radio one word “Uranium.”
None of the scientists had X-ray eyes: they had no magic powers for looking down below the earth’s surface. They were merely putting to use one of the newest methods of locating minerals in the ground---using trees and plants as signs that certain minerals may lie beneath the ground on which the trees and plants are growing.
This newest method of searching for minerals is based on the fact that minerals deep in the earth may affect the kind of bushes and trees that grow on the surface.
At Watson Bar Creek, a mineral search group gathered bags of tree seeds. Boxes were filled with small branches from the trees. Roots were dug and put into boxes. Each bag and box was carefully marked. In a scientific laboratory the parts of the forest trees were burned to ashes and tested. Each small part was examined to learn whether there were minerals in it.
Study of the roots, branches, and seeds showed no silver. But there were small amounts of gold in the roots and a little less gold in the branches and seeds. The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunk had more gold than those growing on the ends of the branches.
If the trees had not indicated that there was gold in the ground, the scientists would not have spent money to pay for digging into the ground. They did dig and found more gold below. They dug deeper. They found large quantities of gold.
39. Scientists went to different regions in order to search for_______.
A. gold B. silver C. metals D. minerals
40. According to the passage, the following parts of a tree can help find minerals EXCEPT_______.
A. leaves B. roots C. branches D. seeds
41. The scientists were searching for minerals by using _______.
A. X-rays B. trained eyes C. a special instrument D. magic power
42. Which might be the best title of the passage?
A. Searching for Metals with Special Power
B. New Methods of Doing Geological Study
C. A New Method of Searching for Minerals
D. Gold Could Be Found by Trees and Plants
D
“If there is one thing I’m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives-the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic（基因的）engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do-as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I’m pretty sure that it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read-sport and international news. etc.
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media（媒体）. They actually “feed off ” each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.
43. In the writer’s opinion, in the future, .
A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news
B. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer
C. newspapers will cover more scientific research
D. more and more people will watch TV
44. From the passage, we can infer that .
A. newspapers will win the competition among the different media
B. newspapers will stay with us together with other media
C. television will take the place of the newspaper
D. the writer believes some media will die out
45. The phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means “ ”.
A. depend on B. compete with C. fight with D. kill off
46. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Best Way to Get News. B. The Changes of Media.
C. Make Your Own newspaper. D. The Future of Newspaper.
E
Based on new analysis, we are rapidly approaching major climate change and the effects on society and the environment could be quite severe. Geographers predict that within the next eighty years, current world climate zones could shift and some could completely disappear. Polar regions will get colder while tropical regions will get even hotter, forcing animals to migrate (迁徙) north.
Climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases. Tropical storms and hurricanes will not only increase but may also become more intense. If the changes come too quickly, animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.
According to Science Daily, a new study predicts that by the year 2100, many of today’s familiar climates will be replaced by climates unknown in today’s world. It is urgent that we reduce the risks of these far-reaching consequences for the whole world. The planet itself has been showing signs of change. In 2004, a serious tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008, thousands died in China because of another severe earthquake. Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Haiti was devastated in 2010 by yet another massive earthquake.
Within just the last few months, new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than previously thought. At this point, it doesn’t matter what is causing it, but rather, what can be done about it. What’s more, our world is getting more and more unstable every year. There is war and threat of war everywhere. Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.
However, other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connection between this. No one knows anything for sure at this point because there is simply not enough data.
49. What does the underlined word “devastated” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Separated. B. Destroyed. C. Removed. D. Affected.
50. What can be inferred from the Passage ?
A. Animals and plants won’t die out as long as climate changes slowly.
B. There’s enough data for us to predict the future of climate change.
C. The world is getting more unstable because of animal migration.
D. The earth is not the only planet that is experiencing climate change.

I want to give some sound advice to people who just can’t seem to find their purposes or paths in life. I had been in the difficult situation for years, thinking about the right career and work for me. I never could get myself to find peace in anything. I moved from job to job, not really enjoying my work. Here are my three ways I got on the right track.
1.Look back on, when you were in school, the things you liked to do，the subjects you enjoyed, and why you enjoyed them. I looked back and found simple things like how interested I was in fitness, food, nutrition, health, and science. These are such important areas in themselves and I’m now creating a business around these subjects.?
2.__________.You shouldn’t be afraid to talk to your friends about your feelings, and you will be surprised at how much they can help you. Another option would be to find a mentor whose knowledge and experience will be invaluable. I personally chose an online millionaire mentor, who showed me step by step how to follow my passions and guided me towards setting up my own business.?
3.Choose personal improvement. This is all about learning about yourself and how your mind works. It’s important to control yourself and understand what drives people. In a nutshell, this changed my life. I used to have very little confidence. Now I can light up a room. I used to have little faith in myself, but now I value myself highly as everybody should.?

When Mr. Peterson left the university, he got a good post in a well-known company, but after he had been there for some year, he decided that he will have a change. He wanted to find another important position so that he could get more money and do more interesting work. However, he put up a notice several newspapers, said what experience he had had and what kind of job he would like to have. One of the answers he accepted was from a man who was looking for a job as well. The man wrote to him, “Dear sir, when you get a new job, please be kindly enough to give my name and address to your present employer, as I have been tried to find a position like you for a long time.”
