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。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
A
Given that many peop ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )le's moods (情绪) are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate, it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine. Looking like a setting from the film Charlie& the Chocolate Factory, Singapore's Chocolate Research Facility (CRF) has over 100 varieties of chocolates. its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents' corner store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets.
If the CRF ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )seems to be a smart idea, that's because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi's and Sony. That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored (味道) chocolates.
The CRF's ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )produce is "green" made within the country and divided into 10 lines, with the Alcohol Series being the most popular. The Exotic Series一with Sichuan pepper, red bean (豆), cheese and other flavors一also does well and is fun to taste. And for chocolate snobs, who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others, the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo, Cuba, Venezuela , and Ghana, among others.
21. What is good about chocolate
A．It serves as a su ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )itable gift. B．It works as an effective medicine.
C．It helps improve ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the state of mind. D．It strengthens business relations.
22. Why is Chris Lee able to develop his idea of the CRF
A．He knows the im ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )portance of research. B．He learns from shops of similar types.
C．He has the support ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of many big names D．He has a lot of marketing experience
23. Which line of the CRF produce sells best
A．The Connoisseur Series. B．The Exotic Series.
C．The Alcohol Series. D．The Sichuan Series.
24.The words "choc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )olate snobs" in Paragraph 3 probably refer to people who
A．are particular ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) about chocolate B．know little about cocoa beans
C．look down upon others D．like to try new flavors
B
Grown-ups ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of over-learning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but over-learn.
The multiplicatio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n tables (乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule,that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we over-learn in childhood. The law of over-learning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little over-learning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development
25. What’ s the main idea of Paragraph 1
A．Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
B．People remember well what they learned in childhood.
C．Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D．Stories for children are easy to remember
26. According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is
A．a result of over-learning B．a special case of cramming
C．a skill to dea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l with math problems D．a basic step towards advanced studies
27. What is the author's opinion on cramming
A．It leads to failure in college exams.
B．It increases students' learning interest.
C．It's possible to result in poor memory.
D．It's helpful only in a limited way
C
Science can't ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.
Any owner will ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tell you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people—half of the pet owners—while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (心算) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quick to base line heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems people feel more relaxed around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets don't judge.
A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. On average, people lost about 11 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. Dog owners didn't lose any more weight than those without dogs but, say researchers, got more exercise overall—mostly with their dogs—and found it worth doing.
28. The underlined word “subjects” refers to __________.
A．what students learned at school B．people that were studied
C．those who had pets with them D．those people without pets
We learn from the text ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting
well if _____.
A. he has a pet companion B. he has less stress of work
C. he often does m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ental arithmetic D. he is taken care of by his family
According to Allen, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) why did the people do better with pets around when facing
stressful tasks
A. They have lower blood pressure. B. They become more patient.
C. They are less nervous. D. They are in higher spirits.
31. The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports that _____.
A. people with dogs did more exercise
B. dog lost the same weight as people did
C. dogs liked exercise much more than people did
D. people without dogs found the program unhelpful
D
Some people will ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them . Take my family’s last vacation .It was my six-year-old son’s winter break form school ,and we were heading home form Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked , and Delta , the airline ,offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day .I had meeting in New York，so I had to get back . But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.
　　The next day my ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged -----okay, ordered----them to wait it out at the airport, to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh
Now some peopl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.
I've made a liv ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing looking for the best deals and exposing (揭露) the worst tricks .I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.
I tell you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) this because there is no shame in getting your money’s worth. I'm also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.
32. Why did Delta give the author's family credits
A. They took a later flight. B. They had early bookings.
C. Their f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )light had been delayed. D. Their flight had been cancelled.
33. What can we learn about the author

34. What does the author do

Public Speaking Training
Get a coach
__ 36_____, so get he ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lp. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you.
Focus on positives
Any training you do to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well. 37 , so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn’t do.
38
If you find a public s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )peaking course that looks as though it’s going to give you lots of dos and don'ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you’re going to be talking about. 39 . As far as we’re concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.
You are a special person not a alone.
Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. 40 . Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you're not.
A. You aren’t like anybody else
B. You already do lots of things well
C. Turn your back on too many rules
D. Check the rules about dos and don’ts
E. Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough
F. The one thing you don’t want is for them to fall asleep
G. So trying t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse
