第二部分阅读（共两节，满分50分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Every year, an average American produces more than 250 pounds of plastic waste. Recycling is part of the solution, but many of us are confused about what can be recycled and what can't.
Plastic film
At the store we find it covering vegetables, meats and cheeses. It's common, but it can't be recycled because it's hard to deal with at the MRF（材料回收厂）. The thin and soft film gets stuck around the equipment and can bring it to a stop.
Plastic bags
Plastic bags—like those used for bread, sandwich as well as grocery bags—create similar problems for recycling machines as thin plastic film. Therefore, most of the plastic bags end up in landfills（垃圾填埋地） and oceans.
Yogurt and butter cups
These containers often mix with other kinds of materials. It's not possible to separate them. In addition, this type of packaging flattens out（变平）on the MRF's conveying belt（传送带）and can bring the equipment to a stop, too.
Beverage（饮料）bottles
These containers are firm. They don't flatten out like yogurt cups and they're made from one kind of plastic that recyclers can easily sell for making products such as carpet, clothing or even more plastic bottles.
Warning: Be aware that we cannot recycle as much as we want. For example, plastic bottles are a highly desirable product for recyclers, but just about a third finds their way into the MRFs. Therefore, it's more important for us to reduce packaging.
21. What do the first two kinds of packaging have in common
A. They are used for the same products. B. They are mixed with other materials
C. They are too thin and soft to be recycled. D. They are usually recycled in special MRFs.
22. Which can be recycled easily
A. Plastic film. B. Beverage bottles. C. Plastic bags. D. Yogurt and butter cups.
23. What does the author hope us to do in the last paragraph
A. Reduce packaging B. Try to build more MRFs.
C. Use recyclable bags. D. Separate the waste properly.
B
On a Sunday morning in 2008. Vic Gundotra received a call during a religious（宗教的）service. It was from Steve Jobs, Apple's former CEO. He didn't answer, but Jobs left a message saying he had something important to discuss. Gundotra returned his call almost immediately.
"Hey Steve, this is Vic," he said. "I'm sorry I didn't answer your call earlier I was in religious services, and the caller ID said 'unknown', so I didn't pick up."
Steve laughed, saying, "Vic, unless the caller ID said 'God', you should never pick up during services." Vic Gundotra laughed nervously. Although Steve used to call him during the week when he was upset about something, it was unusual for him to call on Sunday and ask him to call his home. He was worried what had happened.
"Vic, we have an urgent（急迫的）problem. I've already asked someone from my team to help you and I hope you can fix this tomorrow, "said Steve." I've been looking at the Google logo on the iPhone and I'm not happy with the icon（图标）. The second O in Google doesn't have the proper yellow color. It's just wrong and I'm going to have Greg fix it tomorrow. Is that OK with you "
The CEO of Apple, who revolutionized（革新）personal computers, the way we listen to music and the way we think of mobile devices, was worried about the yellow in the second "O" in Google!
Needless to say the problem was fixed, and Vic Gundotra says it taught him a lesson on leadership and attention to detail. "It was a lesson I'll never forget," said Gundotra. "CEOs should care about details. Even shades of yellow. On a Sunday."
24. Where was Vic Gundotra when Steve Jobs called him
A. At home. B. In his office. C. In a church. D. In a gym.
25. According to the passage, what's the Vic's job
A. A secretary of Steve Jobs.
B. A manager responsible for mobile applications at google.
C. A mechanic who fixes mobile phones.
D. Steve Jobs' driver.
26. What was Steve Jobs' problem
A. He found the second letter missing in an icon.
B. He was not happy with the design of Apple's icons.
C. A letter in an icon didn't appear in the right color.
D. He was worried about Google's unfavorable reaction
27. What did Vic learn from Steve Jobs
A. One should not miss the phone call in any case.
B. One should put his heart into work.
C. One should be responsible for the mistake he made.
D. One should care about details.
C
200,000 miles from Earth, the crew of the third manned mission（使命）to the Moon faced an astronaut's worst situation: an explosion on the spacecraft. It's what happened in the Oscar-winning film Apollo 13, but it's also a true story.
The lift-off of Apollo 13 took place on 1Ith April 1970.Two days into the mission, the three-man crew were in big trouble. They had been carrying out normal checks when there was a loud bang. Warning lights were starting to flash. Looking out into space, they could see a trail of gas---oxygen was escaping from the spacecraft. They sent out a short message to the scientists back on Earth: "Houston, we've had a problem here." At first, they thought that a meteor（流星）had hit them, but they later found out that a short circuit（电路）had caused an oxygen container to explode. Whatever the cause, they knew there was no time to lose. Their electricity supply in the command module（指令舱）depended on that oxygen and pretty soon they would run out of both.
The only solution was to move into the lunar module---the part of the spacecraft that would have landed on the Moon. Now though, they were using it as a kind of lifeboat. With its own power supply, oxygen and water, the three men could survive in the lunar module and return to Earth. There was another problem though. In an enclosed（封闭的）space like a lunar module, the carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）the crew was breathing out was dangerous. The equipment to clear the air of carbon dioxide was only built for two people. Now it had to deal with three. Amazingly, the crew managed to build a piece of equipment out of materials onboard to reduce the carbon dioxide to a safe level.
There was one final challenge. The lunar module wasn't strong enough to re-enter Earth's atmosphere so the crew had to go back into the damaged command module. To everyone's relief, the crew of Apollo 13 arrived safely in the South Pacific Ocean on April 17th.Although the crew didn't land on the Moon, NASA still considered the mission a success.
28. What was the astronauts' first reaction to the explosion
A. They went out to land on the Moon. B. They informed scientists on Earth.
C. They moved into the lunar module. D. They looked into the cause of the explosion.
29. How did the astronauts solve their air situation in the lunar module
A. By lowering the carbon dioxide level. B. By moving back to the command module.
C. By creating a new oxygen supply. D. By limiting the oxygen use.
30. Which is the CORRECT order of the following sentences
a. A short circuit caused an explosion.
b. The crew moved to into the lunar module.
c. The crew went back into the command module.
d. The astronauts landed on the Earth successfully.
e. The astronauts sent a message to the scientists on earth.
f. The crew managed to reduce the carbon dioxide to a safe level.
A. aebfcd. B. aecdbf. C. eabcfd. D. eadbfc.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. A Successful Mission B. An Amazing Adventure
C. Deep Space Exploration D. Life-and-Death Drama in Space
D
The English language has many expressions that describe a fast-moving event. Some expressions relate to body movements. We say something happens in the blink of an eye or in a heartbeat. Other expressions are related to the world of nature.
For example, there is an expression related to velocity involving an animal. You might think the creature will be a big cat, such as a lion or maybe even a small but speedy animal, such as a hare（野兔）. But it is none of them. The expression today involves sheep-baby lambs to be exact.
Lambs are cute, but they are not really known for their lightning speed. Our expression is about a specific part of the animal---its tail. Lambs can shake their tails very fast. And when something happens quickly, we say it happens in "two shakes of a lamb's tail". Here is an example, "I'm going to the store. I'll be back in two shakes of a lamb's tail!" This expression is a cuter and more descriptive way of saying "quickly". Maybe instead of sending a text message with the letters BRB （be right back）, we could use the image of a lamb shaking its tail.
Being cute like a lamb may be fun, but it has its shortcomings. Cute things are often not taken seriously. And that is why Americans rarely use "two shakes of a lamb's tail" in a serious situation. For example, if a person gets hit by a car, people would say something like "Help is on the way!" Generally speaking, an emergency is not a good time to use cute animal expressions.
32. What does the underlined word "velocity" in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. speed B. language C. eating habits D. body parts
33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The development of the expression. B. The origin and usage of the expression.
C. The reason of lambs' fast movement. D. The characteristics of lambs' behavior.
34. Which is the proper use of the expression
A. I'll live in the big city in two shakes of a lamb's tail!
B. Firefighters rescued the boy in two shakes of a lamb's tail!
C. I'll be back from the restaurant in two shakes of a lamb's tail!
D. Medical workers arrived on the scene in two shakes of a lamb's tail!
35. What is the purpose of the author writing this article
A. To stress the advantages of lambs B. To describe the behavior of lambs
C. To show the features of spoken language D. To introduce an expression concerning lambs.

Four Qualities（特质）That Make You Attractive to Others
There is something many people gets wrong about attraction. 36 The reality is that attraction usually has more to do with personality characteristics than appearance. What follows are four qualities that can make you highly attractive to others.
Have control over your emotions. It's not easy to always have control over your emotions. And people who do are extremely attractive. Have control over your emotions so that your emotions don't control you. Allow yourself to think about what you're going to say. 37
Laugh at yourself. It's not what happens to us that makes us feel stressed. 38 Every time you laugh at yourself, you decide to minimize（最小化）something that could affect you negatively. Laughing at yourself is an attractive quality, as it means you don't take yourself too seriously.
39 When you show your warmth, people see you as respectful and friendly. Also, they see you as someone approachable. A warm person says hello to and cares about you after your long and tough day. This quality is important for you to build meaningful relationships.
Give plenty of space. The secret to long-lasting relationships is space, because time apart helps each partner recharge and bring positive energy into the relationship. 40 They don't let others breathe. Instead, those who let others have their space when they need it are extremely attractive.
A. Be warm.
B. Controlling people are unattractive.
C. Don't be too quick to show warmth.
D. It's how we react to it that affects us.
E. They should develop a sense of humor.
F. Take your time to cool down and reorganize your thoughts.
G. They think they have to look beautiful to be accepted by others.

My great-grandfather, my grandfather and my father are farmers, and so are all my family. My father has a fixed idea that I would become a farmer too. Although I respect him and am indeed skilled at doing some farm work, I don't agree that I should automatically follow in my father's footsteps.
When I was a teenager, my father happened to take me to an airport which belonged to one of his friends. It was the first time I had seen an plane in real life. Knowing that I had never been on board, my father's friend Tom offered me an opportunity to fly with him in his small plane. I quickly accepted his offer! When we took off, I felt nervous but thrilled. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I had ever felt. I was just enjoying it. I assumed being a pilot would be the most awesome thing in the whole world. From that day a thought came into my mind that I wanted to become a pilot, but I doubted whether my father would support me. After all, it was a totally different path from what he had planned for me. Therefore, I put the thought to the back of my mind. because I knew he would still insist on holding onto his previous idea.
Anyway, besides helping my father on the farm, I would frequently visit Tom's airport Gradually, I got familiar with every button and switch on the aircraft and I learned a lot about planes, such as how to fill the plane with fuel, how to check the engines and so on. But what I had learned just left me wanting more, so I decided to go to college to become a professional pilot（飞行员）.
Paragraph 1: This time I would not hide my desire any more.

This time I would not hide my desire any more. Determined to follow my heart, I explained to my father how I felt. I told him that I wanted to go to a college to learn to fly instead of being a farmer. After saying this, I waited nervously for his reaction. To my surprise, he approved my request, and he told me he was moved by my perseverance. With his support and my efforts, I was admitted into my ideal college.
At the graduation ceremony, with my father present, I, as "Best Pilot", had to deliver a speech. In my speech, I shared with the audience my story about how a teenager realized his dream. Faced with difficulties, I took a path that led me do something that needed passion, training and practice. I also owed my success to my father's support. Without his understanding, I couldn't have pursued my dream. At the end of my speech, I spotted my father's watery eyes, and said, "Dad, I made it!" His face lit up with pride.

【原文】W: Handing power tools over to young students could result in some disastrous situations. But if those tools are combined with effective supervision and teaching, the students can learn valuable new skills and might even find a new career path.
One such program, in Washington, D.C., aims to teach woodworking and finished carpentry skills to teens and young adults. It includes a woodshop, completely housed inside a truck, that acts as a kind of “classroom on wheels”.
The Mobile Woodshop program was started by the nonprofit Zenith Community Arts Foundation. Margery Goldberg, Zenith's director, said the goal of the woodshop is "to get people jobs”.
Joe Largess is a teacher at the woodshop. He said much of the class centers on teaching students "soft skills". These are skills that are desirable in all jobs, such as team work, having a strong work ethic, being able to follow instructions and arriving to work on time. Students also learn basic skills like math and how to read a ruler.
Ryan is a student at the mobile woodshop. Before entering the class, he had some experience working with wood and tools. "I wanted to give myself a chance to get better at it. That's why I started the class," Ryan said. Ryan said he sees another benefit to learning woodworking: "You can sell some of this stuff and make money for it."
