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中,选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项的标号涂黑。
A
Everybody hate ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s it, but everybody does it. A recent report said that 40％of Americans hate tipping. In America alone, tipping is a $16 billion-a-year industry. Consumers acting politely ought not to pay more than they have to for a given service. Tips should not exist. So why do they The common opinion in the past was that tips both rewarded the efforts of good service and reduced uncomfortable feelings of inequality. And also, tipping makes for closer relations. It went without saying that the better the service, the bigger the tip.
But according to a new research from Cornell University, tips no longer serve any useful function. The paper analyzes numbers they got from 2,547 groups dining at 20 different restaurants. The connection between larger tips and better service was very weak. Only a tiny part of the size of the tip had anything to do with the quality of service.
Tipping is better explained, by culture than by the money people spend. In America, the custom came into being a long time ago. It is regarded as part of the accepted cost of a service. In New York restaurants, failing to tip at least l5% could well mean dissatisfaction from the customers. Hairdressers can expect to get l5%-20%, and the man who delivers your fast food $2. In Europe, tipping is less common. In many restaurants the amount of tip is decided by a standard service charge. In many Asian countries, tipping has never really caught on at all. Only a few have really taken to tipping.
According to Michael Lynn, the Cornell papers' author, countries in which people are more social or
outgoing tend to tip more. Tipping may reduce anxiety about being served by strangers. And Mr. Lynn says, “In America, where people are expressive and eager to mix up with others, tipping is about social approval. If you tip badly, people think less of you. Tipping well is a chance to show off."
21. This passage is mainly about ________.
A. different kinds ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of tipping in different countries B. the relationship between tipping and custom
C. the origin and present meaning of tipping D. most American people hate tipping
22. Which of the fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )llowing best explains the underlined phrase "caught on"
A. become popular. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) B. been hated.
C. been stopped. D. been permitted
23. Among the followin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g situations, in your opinion, who is likely to tip most
A. A Frenchman jus ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t quarreled with the barber who did his hair badly in New York.
B. An American just ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) had a wonderful dinner in a well known restaurant in New York.
C. A Japanese businessman asked for a pizza delivery from a Pizza Hut in New York.
D. A Chinese student enjoyed his meal in a famous fast food restaurant in New York.
24. We can infer from this passage that ________.
A. tipping is no longer a good way to satisfy some customers themselves
B. tipping is especially popular in New York
C. tipping in America can make service better now
D. tipping has something to do with people's character
B
I was twenty-two, an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d in Bolivia. I’d been to every other country in South America, and now I was set on getting into Chile, the last on the list.
After several days, I reached the hills. It was cold, and even the distant mountains were clear. The days were lonely, but one evening I met Filomeno and his fellow teachers. They tried to persuade me not to go to Chile, saying it was a bad place, and that I would be killed. I didn’t believe them. I knew nothing of the current politics; I just wanted to go there.
So I walked into ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the mountains, feeling excited, and came to a sign with the word "Chile" on it. A frightening soldier appeared, stuck a gun in my back, and pushed me down a slope to the police station. The police chief then told me, "There’s nothing for you here." I explained that I had come to see this beautiful country. But he was annoyed.
In the evening the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y filled me with food. There was laughter, and I was less tense. Then the police chief took me to a tiny cell. I lay down on the mattress (垫子). Even though I had no light and none of my possessions, I felt euphoric. At least I had arrived! And what a story I’d have to tell! The next morning I was released, and I was told that Chile didn’t want me. Throwing my belongings into my backpack, I shouted and screamed at the soldiers. After all this effort I was being sent home! I stomped (以重踏步方式走) towards Bolivia expecting to feel a bullet. But I’d be back! I told myself.
25. The author went to Chile to ______.
A. visit his friend Filomeno B. settle there forever
C. complete his trip plan D. risk his life
26. The underlined ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )word "euphoric" in Paragraph 4 most probably means "______".
A. terrible B. shamed C. bored D. excited
27. According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to the last paragraph, the author lost his temper because ______.
A. he was pre ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )vented from entering Chile B. he was badly treated by the soldiers in Chile
C. it was his last ch ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ance to travel D. his friends had stopped him from going to Chile
28. What is the passage mainly about
A. An exciting fight w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ith soldiers in Chile. B. How the author escaped from Chile.
C. An adventure in Chi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )le. D. Why the author went to Chile.
C
It is said that there’s no such thing as a free lunch, but even if you manage to bag a bargain meal, it will not taste as good as a more expensive choice, according to scientists.
A new study has found that restaurant goers who pay more for their meals think the food is tastier than offered for a smaller price. The experts think that people tend to associate cost with quality and this changes their perception(感知) of how food tastes.
Scientists at ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Cornell University studied the eating habits of 139 people enjoying an Italian buffet in a restaurant. The price of the food was set by the researchers at either $4 or $8 for the all-you-can-eat meal. Customers were asked to rate how good the food tasted, the quality of the restaurant and to leave their names.
The experiment showed that the people who paid $8 enjoyed their meal 11% more than those who ate the “cheaper” buffet. Interestingly those that paid for the $4 buffet said they felt guiltier about loading up their plates and felt that they overate. However, the scientists said that both groups ate around the same quantity of food in total.
Brian Wansink, a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) professor of consumer behavior at the university, said: “We were fascinated to find that pricing has little effect on how much one eats, but a huge effect on how you interpret the experience.” He thinks that people enjoyed their food more as they associated cost with quality and that small changes to a restaurant can change how tasty people find their meals.
In a previous study, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )researchers from the university showed that people who eat in bright lighting consume more than people who eat in less brightly lit areas.
29. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. there were 139 subjects involved in the new study
B. a free lunch might be as delicious as you expected
C. the high pricing will change the exact taste of the food
D. in the experiment, the price of the food ranged from $4 to $8
30. According to the passage, which of the following factors has an effect on the quantity of food a person consumes
A. The taste of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) food. B. The price of the food.
C. The number of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )companions. D. The lighting of the restaurant.
31. Who will benefit most from the new study
A. The person wh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o runs a restaurant. B. The person who often eats outside.
C. The person who w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orks on decoration. D. The person who studies in university.
32. The passage is intended to ________.
A. promote market ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing methods B. inform readers of a new study
C. teach consumers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) how to eat better D. find the association between cost and quality
D
Nearly 60 million v ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )isitors flooded to the 384 national parks across America every year. And you won’t have to wander far from home to enjoy one of these national treasures, with Michigan’s Isle Royale National Park nearby.
Located 56 m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iles from Copper Harbor on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, the park remains a desolate area that can only be reached by tour boat. With the exception of the Rock Harbor Lodge, which offers both rooms with private baths and accommodations in the form of small cottages, the 572,000 acres that make up the 45-mile-long park are rough, threaded with hiking paths that lead to tents-only campsites. You are likely to see a deer crossing mist-covered ponds in search of breakfast, gaze bald eagles flying overhead, or hear a beaver(河狸) clapping its tail on the water. If you are especially lucky, you might even glimpse a grey wolf, nearly dying out from hunting on the mainland.
Plenty of hiking ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) paths open the area to exploration. The 4-mile Stroll Path winds through various trees and offers a tour of the island’s history, including prehistoric Indian mines. The Jungle Path leads to Scoville Point——a perfect picnic spot surrounded on three sides by the shining waters of Lake Superior.
You can also ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) rent a boat at the park’s service center and row down the shore to the Rock Harbor Lighthouse. Here park’s service employees use nets to show how lake fishes used to be caught by the original local people. Their catch ends up on the dinner menu at the Rock Harbor Lodge.
The park is open ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )from mid-April through October; Rock Harbor Lodge is open from Memorial Day weekend until just after Labor Day.
33. The underlin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed phrase “a desolate area” in the 2nd paragraph probably means ________.
A. an undeveloped area B. an inaccessible area
C. an area desert ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed by tourists D. an area protected by government
34. What can we infer from the passage
A. Indians used to hunt grey wolves to make a living.
B. Tourists can only visit the park by walking or hiking.
C. The number of grey wolves is smaller than that of deer.
D. Food provided by Rock Harbor Lodge is shipped from outside.
35. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Safety tip ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s of the natural park. B. Attractions of the natural park.
C. Tourist serv ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ice of the natural park. D. Environmental protection of the natural park.

36 Instead, they learn at home. They are taught by adults, more often ,their parents are their teachers. Educational companies, libraries and the Internet provide many families with teaching material.
37 Some choose it because of their religious beliefs. Others say it provides more time for the family to be together. They say home offers a better place for learning. Some parents believe home-schooling avoids problems of traditional schools. These include classes that have too many students. Critics, however, say children need to attend school with other children.
38 Some states(州)do not require much preparation made by parents or testing of children. Other states have more requirements for home-schooling.

Over the years, the American public education system strengthened and grew. By the 1960s and 1970s, however, some Americans believed that traditional education was not helping their children. 39
Home-schooling expert Linda Dobson says many people have helped the movement grow. She says many kinds of people have joined the movement. 40 They represent many races, religions and political beliefs. Ms. Dobson says the number of home-schooled children has increased by an estimated fifteen to twenty percent each year during the last fifteen years.

Our school ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s set up a column called “Soul Castle” for senior 3 students. It is aimed at relieving pressure, and ensure the health of students. The column has the unique advantage that the experts in psychology can give us the expertise and guidance. It covers the thoughts and feelings of students and the professional suggestions.
From my point of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) view, not only does our school attach importance to our study but also put our mental health at the top of the list. It also provides a platform to communicate with our teachers and parents. Moreover, we can get help and guidance from professionals to solve our mental problems. With its help, we can take the College Entrance Examination with confidence.
