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
Too often in life，we focus on the things we cannot do．Sometimes we cannot do things because of financial limitations，health limitations，family limitations，educational limitations，and so on．Sometimes，we end up limiting ourselves from achieving success in reaching our goals．We end up having a negative attitude which limits our ability to achieve success and happiness in our life．
Through the Internet，I have recently met an individual whom I found to be very inspiring．He has a positive attitude；he focuses on what he can do．To name a few of his accomplishments：he has set a world record，and is in the Guinness Book of World Records； he is an international poet with over 900 publications；he is an advocate for the disabled；he is the founder of Beyond Limitations Week；he is an ambassador for the Harvey Ball World Smile Foundation；he has created his own website—http：／／wheelierecord．tripod．com/ index．html．And the list could go on!
The individual is Robert M．Hensel．You see，Robert was born spina bifida，a disability that affects the sense of balance and also has an impact on the kidneys．Robert could have easily used his disability to limit his achievements，yet he has accomplished more than many．His attitude to life is one that，for me，is inspiring! To quote Robert，“I have learned that limitations open doors that have been closed，showing other ways to meet our needs．Now I look beyond what I can’t do and focus on what I can．”
Let Robert be a reminder for changing attitudes．Use his motto of not focusing on what you can’t do，but focus on what you can do！
21．What stops us from achieving success according to the author?

C．Too high goals． D．Various limitations．
22．What does the underlined word“one”in Paragraph 3 refer to?

C．An attitude． D．A story．
23．Why has Robert M．Hensel made many achievements in his life?
A．He has never changed his attitude to life．
B．He always looks beyond his strengths．
C．He takes advantage of his disability．
D．He concentrates on what he can do．
24．How does the author support his idea in the text?

B．By comparing attitudes．
C．By analyzing limitations．
D．By telling stories．

Raised by a single mother in Hartford，Fred Wright struggled with behavioral problems and was forced to move from one school to another．He even reached a point where he felt like he had nothing to live for．
“I was walking around with a lot on my shoulders，”he said．“I couldn’t handle it．I didn’t care about life anymore．”But all that started to change when Wright met Patricia Kelly．
“I was seven when I met Mrs Kelly．I wasn’t used to strictness．I wasn’t used to hearing the word‘no，’”said Wright，now 17．
Kelly，a former soldier and an equestrian(骑手)，took Wright under her wing and helped him find hope in an unlikely place—on a horse．
“Wright was like a round peg that everybody kept trying to squeeze into a square hole，” Kelly said．“He was hurting．He needed a place where he could express himself．The riding field became that place for him．”
For the last 30 years，Kelly has helped children stay on the right track through her nonprofit，Ebony Horsewomen．The program offers horseback riding lessons and teaches animal science to more than 300 young people a year．By exposing those children to horsemanship，Kelly aims to give them an alternative to the streets and an opportunity to turn their lives around．
“We use horses as a hook to create pride，esteem and healing，”said Kelly，66．“They learn that they have ability．They just have to unlock it．”
“When you teach a child to ride a horse，they learn they are the center of their environment，”said Kelly．“Once they make that connection，they can change what happens in school，at home and in the community．”
25．Why did Fred Wright have to move from one school to another?
A．His mother couldn’t afford the fees．
B．His parents got divorced．
C．He behaved badly at schoo1．
D．He didn’t set a life goal．
26．How did Patricia Kelly help Fred Wright?
A．She provided him with a home．
B．She encouraged him to learn science．
C．She exposed him to the riding field．
D．She found him a better schoo1．
27．What do we know about the program Ebony Horsewomen?

B．It was founded by Patricia Kelly．
C．It aims to protect the environment．
D．It serves as a shelter for homeless kids．
28．What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A．Horse riding is helpful to the growth of kids．
B．Patricia Kelly is a very successful woman．
C．Horses are closely related to the environment．
D．It is hard for a kid to 1earn to ride a horse．

The Netherlands on Monday launched its first-ever“intelligent bicycle”，fitted with a set of electronic devices to help bring down the high accident rate among elderly cyclists in this country．
The intelligent bicycle runs on electricity．Its seat shakes when other cyclists approach from behind，while the handlebars do the same when obstacles appear ahead to inform cyclists to pay attention to the danger．It also has a cradle(置物架)in which a computer can be inserted，to wirelessly connect and“talk”to the bicycle through a particular application．The computer also flashes a bright signal if there is an approaching obstacle in the bicycle’s path，like a tree，or if another cyclist comes up from behind intending to pass.
A commercial-available bicycle is expected to be on the market in the next two years and should sell for between 1，700 euros to 3，200 euros per bicycle．It weighs about 55 pounds but researchers are working on making the on-board systems smaller．
‘‘Accidents often happen when cyclists look behind them or get a fright when they are passed at high speed，”said Maurice Kwakkernaat，one of the scientists involved in the project，“The on-board system technology has already been at work in the automotive industry”．
“More and more elderly people are using a bicycle，not only for short distances，but also for longer distances，”Dutch Environment Minister Melanie Schultz van Haegen said，“This type of bicycle is truly needed in the Netherlands because it will help us bring down the number of elderly people who are injured every year and allow them to continue enjoying cycling，”she said．
29．What does the text mainly talk about?
A．The newly-invented bicycle can warn of danger．
B．The intelligent computer runs on electricity．
C．More elderly people enjoy electronic devices．
D．The means of transportation in the Netherlands．
30．When a car appears ahead，the intelligent bicycle will_________．
A．stop by itself B．make a noise
C．warn its cyclist D．change its color
31．What do you know about the intelligent bicycle?
A．It uses gas as the fuel．
B．It is widely used now．
C．It will be lighter in weight．
D．It will be free for everyone．
32．More and more elderly people in the Netherlands______________．
A．try to invent intelligent bicycles
B．enjoy themselves by cycling
C．drive cars for longer distances
D．devote themselves to computers

Leonardo da Vinci’s mother may have been a Chinese slave according to a new research by an Italian historian and novelist—Angelo Paratico，who has spent the last 20 years living and working in Hong Kong，researching the links between his homeland and China over the past half century．
Mr Paratico said the documents he has uncovered during two years of research form the basis of his latest book Leonardo Da Vinci，a Chinese scholar lost in Renaissance(文艺复兴)Italy．The book，which is due to be published next year，uncovers evidence that there’s a link between Da Vinci and the Far East．
Speaking to the South China Morning Post，Mr Paratico said，“I am sure that Leonardo’s mother was from the East，but to make her a Chinese，we need to use a deductive method(演绎法)．One wealthy client of Leonardo’s father had a slave called Caterina．After Leonardo’s date of birth，she disappeared from the documents．She was no longer working there．’’
It is believed that his mother was called Caterina，who，according to some reports，was a local peasant．But Mr Paratico’s new work claims it is most likely that Da Vinci’s mother was a slave．Supporting his theory，he said，“During the Renaissance，countries like Italy and Spain were full of slaves from the East．”
He claimed that there were certain aspects of Da Vinci’s life and works which suggest a Chinese link．For instance，he was writing with his left hand from left to right and he was also a vegetarian，which was not common．Mona Lisa is probably a portrait of his mother，as Sigmund Freud said in 1910．On the back of Mona Lisa，there is a Chinese landscape and even her face looks Chinese．
Mr Paratico said he believes the only way to solve the mystery is to dig out some of Da Vinci’s relations in Florence and extract some DNA．
33．What is Mr Paratico’s latest book based on?
A．His research findings．
B．His living experience．
C．His final visit to Italy．
D．His interest in Renaissance．
34．What may suggest there is a link between Da Vinci and Chinese?
A．His working habit．
B．His ways of writing．
C．His birth date．
D．His father’s friend．
35．What can we learn about Da Vinci’s mother?
A．She was a slave of Leonardo’s father．
B．She quit working after her marriage．
C．She was buried in Florence after death．
D．She was probably the model of Mona Lisa．

After a late night doing tons of homework，you are trying hard to keep your eyes open in class．“ 36 ”You are probably thinking．“This weekend I’11 make up for all the sleep I have lost．”
Most people think like you，that if you stay in bed longer on Saturdays and Sundays，you will catch up hour-by-hour on your missed sleep during the week．
However，this is wrong． 37 In fact，scientists have just found that sleeping-in during the weekend will not do you any good，but rather make you feel more tired on Monday morning．reported The Telegraph．
38 It tells us when to wake up in the morning and when to feel sleepy at night．But the time on our body clock can be changed if we start taking on different sleeping habits．39
If we decide to get up only 20 minutes or half an hour late，it won’t matter．This is because our body clock can accommodate(适应)a delay of up to an hour，which means that a short lie-in at weekends is unlikely to have any big effect．40 This means on Monday morning we sometimes struggle to get out of bed．
So，what should we do to balance out all the rest we’ve missed? Scientists say that simply getting eight hours of sleep would do the trick，not any longer．That’s because our brain rests more efficiently when it’s tired．
A．Sleeping is nothing like paying back money．
B．Sleep is important for everyone．
C．This is why staying in bed for longer than usual might confuse our body clock．
D．But delays of up to two hours or more can throw our body out of order．
E．I need more sleep!
F．However，if we sleep longer，our sleep becomes less efficient．
G．Our body keeps a clock inside．

When he was 5，Nicholas Lowinger visited a homeless shelter with his mother．He was 41 to show off his new light-up sneakers．But his mom warned him against doing so 42 that these children might not have such things．
43 enough，when Nicholas met kids at the shelter，he 44 realized that they were living in circumstances that were different from his own．

So at the age of 12，Nicholas started a program that donates 55 shoes to homeless children．56 ，his efforts were part of a community service project．With the help of his parents，he then started the Gotta Have Sole Foundation，which has donated new footwear to more than 10，000 57 children in 21 states．
“Something that seems so 58 ，a pair of shoes，can make children feel 59 about themselves and gain confidence．”Nicholas 60 other young people to do the same．

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg 61(recent)surprised Chinese students when he spoke to 62 in Chinese．In a talk at Tsinghua University in Beijing，Zuckerberg spoke Chinese for about 30 minutes． 63 his Chinese was far from perfect，students and faculty cheered his effort．
C1ayton Dube is the head of the U．S．-China Institute at the University of Southern California．He praises Zuckerberg’s effort and thinks more American CEOs should learn foreign 64(1anguage)．
“To speak Chinese 65(mean)you begin to think as Chinese people do．You begin to understand how Chinese speakers have the world 66 (organize)，and how they understand things．And that is a vital step if you’re going to be culturally qualified,”
Zuckerberg’s talk raises a larger question：Is Chinese the language of the future? Could it replace English 67 the world’s international language? Chinese already has the most native speakers of any language．And，China may soon pass the United States as the world’s 68(1arge)economy．
The study of 69 Chinese language is increasing in the United States and around the world．In 2009，about 60，000 70 (America)college students were studying Chinese．That is three times as many as in 1990．
