阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
Last July, my 12- ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )year-old car died on California’s Santa Ana Freeway. It was an hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles from home. I couldn’t reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I figured I’d just head east.
A bus pulled up, an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d I asked the driver how far she was going. “Four more lights,” she said. There was another bus I could take from there. This clearly was going to be a long night.
She dropped me off at ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the end of her route and told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus pulled up. There was no lighted number above its windshield(挡风玻璃). It was out of service. But the door opened, and I was surprised to find that it was the same driver.
“I just can’t lea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve you here,” she said. “This isn’t the nicest place. I’ll give you a ride home.”
“You’ll drive me home in the bus ” I asked, perplexed(困惑).
“No, I’ll take you in my car,” she said.
“It’s a long way,” I protested.
“Come on, ” she said. “I have nothing else to do.”
As we drove fro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m the station in her car, she began telling me a story. A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good Samaritan picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car. “I’m just passing the favor along, ” she said.
When I offered ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) her money as a thank-you, she wouldn’t hear of it. “That wouldn’t make it a favor, ” she said. “Just do something nice for somebody. Pass it along.”
1. Why did the writer say that he would have a long night
A. He wondered how long he had to wait for the next bus.
B. No driver would give him a ride.
C. He didn’t know the routes.
D. He perhaps would have to take a taxi.

D. He knew the driver would never return.
4. The bus driver drove the writer home later because ________.
A. she happened to go in the same direction
B. she wanted to do something good for other people
C. her brother told her to do so
D. she wanted to earn more money
5. The bus driver hoped that the writer ________.
A. would do as she did B. would keep her in memory

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
Pilling a cat can be a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) “terrible” experience. Cats don’t want something pushed down their throats, and they’ll fight with all their strength to prevent it. In fact, it’s amazing how powerful their small bodies can be.
The easiest way o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f pilling a cat is to press the pill into powder. Then mix the powder with a small amount of wet food. If your cat usually eats dry food, she will probably view the wet food as a treat and eat it up.
If your cat won’t e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at the wet food that contains the pill or if she is too ill to eat, you can get a “pill gun”. There are some basic instructions. Getting your cat’s mouth to open is going to be the most difficult part. First, be sure the pill is in a handy place. Then you can put your cat on a bookshelf with her bottom in a corner or you can put her on your lap firmly tied. Have your cat facing to the right if you’re right-handed. With your left hand, hold your cat at the cheekbones, putting your palm at the top of her head. Keeping your finger off the trigger (扳机), with your right hand, insert the pill gun until the pill is positioned over the tongue and open throat. Be sure to give your cat a treat directly after giving the pill.
If you don’t feel comf ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ortable using a pill gun, you can try giving the pill by hand. Push your cat’s head backwards just far enough so that her nose is pointing towards the ceiling. At this point, most cats will slightly open their mouths. With the little finger or ring finger of the hand holding the pill, open the bottom jaw a little more. You may need to hold her top jaw with your other hand while doing this. Aim straight and lightly throw the pill or drop it. Most cats will then swallow the pill.
28. Pilling a cat can be a terrible experience because cats ______.
A. are amazingly powerful and dangerous
B. may fight with all their strength against pills
C. refuse something pressed down their throats
D. are difficult to treat once they’ve got ill
29. What can be inferred according to the second paragraph
A. Wet food with medicine is usually a treat to cats.
B. Cats used to dry food must reject wet food.
C. The easiest pilling is to press the pill into powder.
D. Cats are probably interested in something new.
30. Using a “pill g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )un”, you had better hold your cat ______ if you’re left-handed.
A. facing to the right B. with your right hand
C. at the head D. on your lap firmly
31. A cat probably opens its mouth naturally when ______.
A. its nose is straight upwards
B. it is touched by fingers
C. its head is turning around
D. it is served with its favorite pills

Prime Minister ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )David Cameron was the next highest with a positive score of 37 percent among the British public, although he can take some comfort from the fact that 58 percent of Poles and half of all French people think he is doing a good job.
In spite of the d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ark economic future and growing doubt of the EU, there were strong majorities of more than 60 percent in favor of keeping the euro in the five countries surveyed that use the single currency.

The bus journe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y from Dali to Lijiang was very unpleasant and I was feeling really unwell and was sick by the side of the road. It is a pity that I did not feel so good as the scenery and housing along. The bus journey was truly beautiful but it is not humanly possible to enjoy such things when all you can think of is this Chinese bus going to get some of my carrots on its floors and seats
I was very r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )elieved to arrive in Lijiang—the place seemed bigger than Dali and initially more pretty as a picture. However, after walking for a bit around the place, I got the feeling that the place seemed overly touristy. This traditional and old-looking town had a very new feeling to it as most of the old style buildings looked very new. This was hardly surprising as the town suffered a major earthquake in 1996, but all over the place even now, they were still building “old” style housing.
Feeling rather let d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )own by the place, Peter, Rashad and I headed out for a meal. There were lots of barbecue (烤肉) type places where you selected your food to eat. Peter spoke to the restaurant people who told him that the place was cheap. We then made the big mistake of staying in the place without seeing the menu. Amongst other things, such as meat, we had also some tree and normal looking mushrooms cooked. When the bill arrived, it felt like we were having our pants pulled down.
We did not think t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat Lijiang could get any worse until we saw the nightlife. The music was loud in the clubs or bars along the streets. “Cool, this might be some sort of Chinese dance off.” I was thinking. Given my previous bad experiences of Lijiang, I should really have known better. However, the good things about the place are numberless, such as the attractive natural scenery, the ancient architecture, the century-old practices, and the hospitable locals.
1. From the first paragraph we can learn that .
A. the bus journey was boring and uncomfortable
B. the sides of the road were polluted seriously
C. the scenery isn’t beautiful as expected
D. the bus jogged along on the rough road
2. The underlined word “initially” means .
A. indeed B. at first C. in the end D. really
3. The author had a very new feeling because .
A. it was the first time that he had visited Lijiang
B. many tall buildings had sprung up
C. the ancient town took a new look
D. the ancient town was man-made in a way
4. How did they feel while they were in the restaurant
A. They thought they had appreciated good food.
B. They believed the bill was wrongly calculated.
C. They regretted having ordered mushrooms.
D. They had a more expensive meal than expected.
5. Which of the following is TRUE according to the last paragraph
A. The author had a good impression of the music in the clubs.
B. The author once visited the town and loved Chinese dance.
C. Most of the people in Lijiang are warm-hearted.
D. The natural scenery has been damaged by noises.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
There are va ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rious reasons why cancers appear to be on the increase. For one thing, though their sufferers are to be found in all age groups, cancers are particularly likely to attack persons in their middle and advanced years. Naturally, since people live longer these years, there are more cancer sufferers than before. Again, with better methods of diagnosis (诊断), doctors can more easily recog nize cancerous growths that would formerly have passed unnoticed or that would have been wrongly di agnosed. It is also believed that certain habits and conditions of modem living, including heavy smok ing and the pollution of the air, may leave people living in more cancer-causing conditions than before.
We all look forwa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rd to the day when a simple medical test can find cancer while it is still small. Researchers around the world are working on such a test. Most of their work deals with the examina tion of the blood.
Researchers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in Boston have found something in the blood of cancer patients that does not appear in healthy persons. The test showed which persons had cancer and which did not. It was correct more than 90 percent of the time.
The researchers b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )elieve the test may be able to show cancer very clearly in its development. Cancers discovered early usually can be treated successfully.
The test examine ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s very small bits of fat in the blood called lipids (脂质). Cancers seem to change lipids although doctors do not know why. The test showed differences between the lipids of the persons with cancer and the lipids of those without cancer.
The researchers s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ay the new test could be a step to develop a simple way to check patients for cancer before the disease shows on an X-ray.
1. Who will fail cancer from the study of the researchers
A. The young. B. The middle age and the older.
C. The man. D. The woman.
2. The underlined words "such a test" refer to________.
A. the test t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat shows which persons have cancer and which don’t .
B. the test tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t may be able to show cancer very early in its development,.
C. a simple medical test that cannot find cancer when it is -small
D. a new test that could be a step to develop a difficult way
3. Which of the follow ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing statements is true according to the passage
A. Cancers have much to do with something in patients’ blood.
B. People living i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n better conditions are most likely to be attacked by cancer.
C.X-raying i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s the best way to determined whether a person has cancer or not.
D. Cancers h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ave nothing to do with a person’s habits and living conditions.
4. What would be the best title for the passage
A. A simple way to cancer B. Cancers can be cured
C. How to find cancer D. Early discovery of cancer
1. B 细节题。从第一段中的can ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cers are particularly likely to attack persons in their middle and advanced years可以知道癌症尤其容易在中年人和老年人的身体上发生。
2. B 词义题。第二段中的a sim ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ple medical test can find cancer while it is still small；test与后面的such a test指的是同样的一种方法，所以这里的test指的是上句的“用最简单的方法诊断早期的癌症”。
3. A 细节题。第三段中提到了canc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er病人血液中的有些东西在健康人中没有，并且百分之九十以上的情况是这样的。B项与D项的意思与文章第一段中的certain habits and conditions of modern living including heavy smoking and pollution of the air may leave people living in more cancer-causing conditions不符；C项内容与文章最后一段的意思不符。

School is much more th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an a place where students gather to learn. For children, school is their first opportunity for social development and introduction to people outside of their family unit. Lessons learned in school go beyond mathematics and language arts. Students learn to develop individual interests and find other people who share their interests.
Music is one o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f the ways like minded children come together. When many people talk about the benefits of music education, they're quick to point out all of the numerous and measurable results of music education: many studies show the positive impact music programs can have on children in other areas of study.
Dr. Laurel Train ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or, a professor of psychology, at McMaster University, has said young children who take music lessons show different brain development and improved memory compared to children who do not receive musical training. Stanford University researchers have found that musical training improves how the brain processes the spoken word, a finding that researchers say could lead to improving the reading ability of children who have dyslexia and other reading problems.
Furthermore, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in an analysis of data on more than 25,000 secondary school students, researchers at the United States Department of Education found that students who report consistent involvement in instrumental music during middle school and high school perform significantly better in mathematics.
There are many reason ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s why music education can help to make a child a better student, but there also being involved in music is also a social endeavor that can set the course for lifelong friends and help create social groups that last through school and beyond. Music education breeds familiarity during a school career, when going from class to class or from school to school every year can be nerve wracking and unfamiliar.

Two friends h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ave an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, “In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence”. Given that this is the case, why aren’t students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit
First of all, stud ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ents need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱) . For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn’t in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.
Once students recogn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决) : stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words, name- calling, and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.
After both sides ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )have calmed down, they can use another key strategy (策略) for conflict resolution: listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non- threatening questions to clarify the speaker’s position. Then the two people should change roles.
Finally, students ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) need to consider what they are hearing. This doesn’t mean trying to figure out what’s wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start What do I really want What am I afraid of As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn’t, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.
There will alw ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ays be conflict in schools, but that doesn’t mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, “64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves”. Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.

Different people are looking for different things in their work, but generally, people with satisfying careers enjoy some combination of the following features: autonomy，respect，competence，creativity，and a sense of impact. In other words，if you want to feel passionate about your livelihood，don't seek the perfect job，but seek to get more of these features in the job you already have.
Passion is el ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )usive (难捉摸的）.Many people develop the rare and valuable skills leading to passion , but still end up unhappy in their work. The problem is that the features leading you to love your work are more likely to be useful to you than your organization. As you become increasingly ‘‘valuable”，for example, your boss might push you toward traditional promotions that come with more pay and more responsibility, as this is what is most useful to your company. However, you might find more passion by applying your value to gain autonomy in your schedule or project selection.
Passion is dange ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rous. I've watched too many of my peers fall into anxiety and chronic job-hoppirig due to the ‘‘follow your passion” advice. The issue is expectations. If you believe we all have a pre-existing passion，and that matching it to a job will lead to instant workplace happiness,reality will always pale in comparison.
Work is hard. Not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) every day is fun. If you're seeking a dream job, you'll end up frustrated, again and again. Don't set out to discover passion. Instead, set out to develop it. This path might be longer and more complicated than what most cheerful career guides might advocate，but it's a path much more likely to lead you somewhere worth going.

【参考答案】1. 67-70 BACD 四川南部县2016高考英语二轮阅读理解练习题及参考答案
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
“America’s No.1 Heal ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )th Problem.” So reads the headline of an article published by the American Institute of Stress that claims the biggest threat to health today is neither cancer nor AIDS. The report says: “It has been estimated（估计）that 75 to 90 percent of all visits to primary care physicians are for stress related problems.”
It is no exaggeration ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )（夸张）to say that people today are being attacked by stress. According to the National Consumers League, “Work is the top source of stress for adults who have problems and stress in their lives (39%), followed by family (30%). Other sources include health (10%), concern about the economy (9%) and concern about international conflict and terrorism (4%).”
However, stress is ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rdly unique to the United States. A British survey in 2005 estimated that “over half a million individuals in Britain believed in 2004 that they were experiencing work-related stress at a level that was making them ill.” As a result of “work-related stress, depression or anxiety,” there are “an estimated thirteen and a half million reported lost working days per year in Britain.”
The picture i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s no less bleak in mainland Europe. According to the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, “work-related stress has been shown to affect millions of European workers across all types of employment sectors.” One survey revealed that there are “about 41 million workers affected by work-related stress each year.”
What about Asia A ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )report issued by a conference held in Tokyo concluded: “Job stress is a common concern among many countries in the world, both developing and industrialized countries.” The report observed that “several countries in East Asia, including China and Korea, have rapidly industrialized and economically grown. These countries now have a lot of concerns on job stress and its harmful effects on workers’ health.”
1. The author quo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ted “America’s No.1 Health Problem.” (Para. 1) in order to ______.
A. talk about health problems in America
B. introduce the topic of stress
C. emphasize the stress in America
D. tell readers something about American Institute of Stress
答案解析：答案为B。本题为推理题。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )本文的内容是为了揭示世界上人们的工作压力非常大，对健康造成了威胁，因此作者在开头使用“America’s No.1 Health Problem”是为了引入压力的话题，故答案为B。
2. From the passage we can learn that .
A. both cancer and AID ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )S are not as serious as the threat of stress to health
B. stress is mainly from working and living pressure
C. Americans never care about international conflict and terrorism
D. people in mainland Europe are more optimistic than English people
答案解析：答案为B。本题为 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )细节推理题。由第二段 “Work is the top source of stress for adults who have problems and stress in their lives (39%), followed by family (30%). Other sources include health (10%), concern about the economy (9%) and concern about international conflict and terrorism (4%).” 可知，工作和家庭生活中的压力比重最大，故B选项正确，C选项错误。
由第一段 “Americ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a’s No.1 Health Problem.” So reads the headline of an article published by the American Institute of Stress that claims the biggest threat to health today is neither cancer nor AIDS.”可知，癌症和艾滋病没有压力带给健康的威胁那么严重的情况是在美国，不具有普遍性，故A选项错误。第三段揭示了英国人的工作压力非常大，第四段的首句理解是关键 “The picture is no less bleak in mainland Europe.” 意为“欧洲大陆的情况依旧不容乐观”，故D选项错误。
3. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______.
A. Asian people are more willing to develop their countries
B. the rapid economic development is the main reason for stress
C. some people in A ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sian countries have health problems from employment stress
D. Asian countries have a better situation of stress than Europe
答案解析：答案为C。本题为推理题。最后 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )一段揭示了亚洲的压力情况，由该段的最后一句话 “These countries now have a lot of concerns on job stress and its harmful effects on workers’ health.” 可知，一些亚洲国家的工作压力也影响了人们的健康，故C选项正确，B选项错误，经济发展不是压力的主要原因，压力来自工作。A、D选项未提，均不选。
4. What’s the main subject of the passage
A. Stress attacking health. B. How to deal with stress.
C. A survey on working stress. D. Health problems around the world.
答案解析：答案为A。本题考查文章的主题。全文揭示了在美国，欧洲，亚洲人们的工作压力对健康造成了威胁，故答案为A。

(2015·福建省普通高中毕业班质检)
So many of us hol ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d on to little complaints that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, the way we were raised, or some other painful events. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us—believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.
A friend of mine, re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cently told me that she hadn't spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn't speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she said, “I can't do that. He's the one who should apologize.” After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.
Whenever we hold o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n to our anger, we turn “small stuff(问题)” into really “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn't mean that you're wrong. Everything will be fine. You'll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.
You'll also notice ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )that, as you reach out and let others be “right，” they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But, if for some reason they don't, that's okay too. You'll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you'll be more peaceful yourself.
文章大意：该文章主要告诉我们在与别人争执时先向对方道歉，缓解朋友之间的关系，享受友情。
12．The underlin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed word “rekindle” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”．

A．we can turn small issues into big ones
B．our positions are higher than others
C．our own opinions matter most
D．others will be less defensive
答案：C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段前两句 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )话Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff(问题)” into really “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness可知我们总是认为我们自己的意见更重要。故选C。

【2015高考复习】阅读理解
Does stress ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cause gray hair？Many people believe that tension and stress can cause your hair to lose its color.In fact，it is an_old_wives’_tale that being upset all the time can result in premature graying.Here is a closer look at this situation and why some believe that this old wives’ tale could be true.
As one ages，the hair ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s on the head also age.In fact，just about everything on the human body begins to show signs of wear and tear after a while.The joints wear and become stiff and skin wears and becomes wrinkled.Hairs on the head grow and eventually die.They are replaced，but in the process something else happens.
When new hairs are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )replaced，the color or pigment (色素) is also added to them.However，as one ages，this pigment becomes less and less available.At first，hairs will have a limited amount of pigment and they will appear to be grayish in color.In time，they will lose all of their pigment and will be white.Many things are known to cause graying，and genetics is a very powerful factor.If one of your parents turns gray at an early age，there is a good chance that you will too.Some people begin the graying process in high school，while others may be over the age of forty.
Constant worry and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tension can have many harmful effects on the human body.It is a known fact that stressful times can cause one to suffer hair loss.It would make sense that if it can cause these problems，perhaps it also may contribute to graying.However，there is no sound evidence to support this.
On the other han ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d，many medical professionals believe that there may be a link between graying and a constant state of anxiety or tension.Does stress cause gray hair？There is no scientific evidence to support the theory，but it is best to avoid stressful situations.
【语篇解读】 压力会导致头 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )发变白吗？许多人相信情况是这样的。本文从年龄和基因两方面谈了头发变白的原因，持续的压力和忧虑对于身体是有害的，可导致脱发。但是，究竟压力和头发变白之间是否有联系，目前尚无定论。
1．The underlined ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )phrase in the first paragraph most probably means________.
A．clever remarks B．silly remarks
C．exciting remarks D．disappointed remarks
解析 词义猜测题。画线短语前 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )面提到“Many people believe that tension and stress can cause your hair to lose its color”，即许多人相信紧张和压力导致头发褪色变白。短文接着谈到“In fact，it is...”，这是推测画线词意思的关键。因此an old wives’ tale意为“无稽之谈”。
答案 B
2．The second paragraph mainly tells us________.
A．every part of body is replaced with age
B．hairs will grow weak but not die
C．skin becomes wrinkled with age
D．every part of body ages with age
解析 主旨大意题。第二段第一句话是该段的主题句。从中可以看出，人体的每一部分都会随着年龄的增长而衰老。
答案 D
3．What might play the most important role in the graying process
A．Genetics and the amount of sleeping time.
B．The amount of food people eat and living environment.
C．The amount of pigment and genetics.
D．Genetics and the amount of water people drink
解析 细节理解题。本文第三段提到“At ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) first，hairs will have a limited amount of pigment and they will appear to be grayish in color.In time，they will lose all of their pigment and will be white.Many things are known to cause graying，and genetics is a very powerful factor.”由此可以看出，色素和基因在头发变白的过程中起着重要的作用。
答案 C
4．According to the passage，continuous pressure may result in________.
A．a person’s fatness B．a person’s fitness
C．a person’s weight loss D．a person’s hair loss
解析 细节理解题。本文倒数第二段提到“Co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nstant worry and tension can have many harmful effects on the human body.It is a known fact that stressful times can cause one to suffer hair loss”。由此可知，持续的压力会导致脱发。
答案 D
5．From the passage we can infer that________.
A．stress causing gray hair is still in question
B．gray hair has nothing to do with tension
C．stressful situations can be of benefit
D．sound evidence has been found
解析 推理判断题。本文倒 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )数第二段最后提到“However，there is no sound evidence to support this.”最后一段也提到“There is no scientific evidence to support the theory...”。由此可知，是否压力会引起头发变白仍无定论。

Finally, I entered the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) university. Because of my careful savings, I did not have to work during the school year. Then, summer came and it was time to work harder than ever. I continued working as a waitress at night, instructed tennis camps several mornings a week and worked as a secretary for a few hours in the afternoons. I even decided to take a class at a community (社区) college. This class at the community college saved me $650. It was an extremely tiring summer and made me anxious to return to my relatively easy life at the university.
During my secon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d and third years of undergraduate schooling, I decided to work about five hours per week in the campus (校园) admissions office answering phones. This provided a little spending money and kept me from drawing my savings out. I wanted to go to Israel to study for 3 weeks, but I hesitated in making this decision because it would cost me $1,600 more to get the credits in Israel. About two weeks later my Mom called to tell me that I had $1,600 in the bank that I had forgotten about! One of my concerns about this trip was not only the cost, but the loss of time to make money; however, I made as much that summer in the ten weeks when I was at home as I had made during the fourteen weeks when I was at home the summer before. The way everything worked together to make this trip possible was one of the most exciting things that have ever happened to me.
This experience has ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )shaped me in many important ways. The first thing that I learned was the importance of a strong work ethic (伦理). Working long hours did a lot to develop my character and helped me learn the value of a dollar. It also made me learn how to search for creative ways to settle difficult situations.
文章大意：在上大学期间，作者充分 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )利用课余时间从事一些兼职工作，获得了不错的收入，更重要的是，这种工作经历使作者认识到了工作伦理的重要性，并且也学会了如何应对困难局面。
1．Where did t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he writer probably work part time before attending the university
A．In a restaurant. B．In the tennis camps.

答案：A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“... tennis camps several mornings a week and worked as a secretary for a few hours...”和第二段中的“... per week in the campus admissions office answering phones.”可知，B、C、D三项均是作者上大学之后所从事的兼职工作，因此，A项可能是作者上大学之前从事的工作。故答案选A。
2．The writer t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ook a class at a community college mainly because ________.
A．she wanted to save money
B．life there was relatively easy
C．summer time was tiring
D．it was required by the university
答案：A 细节理解题。根据第一段倒数第二句 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“This class at the community college saved me $650.”可知，作者选这门课程的主要原因是她要省钱，A选项符合语境。故答案选A。
3．The writer's ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) major concern about the trip to Israel was that ________.
A．her mother would not agree
B．she would fail to get credits in Israel
C．a well paid summer job would be lost

答案：C 细节理解题。根据第二 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段倒数第二句“One of my concerns about this trip was not only the cost, but the loss of time to make money...”可知，作者关心的不是旅行的费用，而是失去了挣钱的时间。C选项符合语境，故答案选C。

Sometimes people ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )call each other “scaredy-cat”, but have you ever thought about this expression When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its blood-stream.
Although the cat does ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n’t realize this, its body is getting ready for action. If the danger continues, this animal will do one of the two things. It will defend itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.
Something like th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is also happens to people. When we are excited, angry, scared, or aroused by other emotions, our bodies go through many physical changes. Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run.
Human beings, howev ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er, have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings, we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger—or hit somebody and regretted it later Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told somebody you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut It isn’t always wise to express your feelings freely.
Does this mean t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat it’s smarter always to hide our feeling No!If you keep feelings of anger, sadness, and bitterness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense. Physical illnesses can develop, and you can feel churned up inside. It can actually be bad for your health.
Feeling that you k ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eep all bottled up inside don’t just go away. It’s as if you bought some bananas and stuck them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them, but before long you’d smell them. And if you open the cupboard, chances are you’d see little fruit flies hovering all over them. They’d be rotten.
You can try t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o treat emotions as if they were bananas in the cupboard, you can hide them and you can pretend they don’t exist, but they’ll still be around. And at last you’ll have to deal with them, just like those bananas.
1. It is mentioned in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the passage that human beings get into trouble because they______.
A. are not as alert as animals
B. sometimes can’t control their feelings
C. always do something wrong to other people
D. don’t pay attention to their physical changes
2. The underlined words “churned up”in the 5th paragraph mean “ ”.

The round-the-clock (2 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )4小时不断的)availability that cell phones have brought to people’s lives may be taking a toll on family life, a new study suggests. The study, which followed more than 1, 300 adults over 2 years, found that those who consistently used a mobile phone throughout the study period were more likely to report negative“spillover”between work and home life—and, in turn, less satisfaction with their family life.
Spillover essential ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ly (本质上)means that the line between work and home begins to become unclear. Work life may invade home life when a parent is taking job-related calls at home, for instance—or family issues may start to take up work time. For example, a child may call mom at work, telling her “microwave exploded”, explained Noelle Chesley, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the author of the study. The problem with cell phones seems to be that they are allowing for ever more spillover between work and home.
This may be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )especially true for working women, the study found. Among men, consistent use of mobile phones seemed to allow more work issues to creep (潜入)into family time. But for women, the spillover tended to go in both directions. Being “connected”meant that work cut into home time, and family issues came into work life.
Cell phones seem to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) be opening more lines for stressful exchanges among family members. But there may be ways to control the spillover, according to Chesley. Employers, she said, could look at their policies on contacting employees after working hours to make sure their expectations are“reasonable”. For their part, employees could decide that cell phones go off during family time, Chesley said.
1. The underli ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ned phrase“taking a toll on”in Paragraph 1 probably means ______.
A. explaining B. protecting C. extending D. damaging
2. What is t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he purpose of offering the example“microwave exploded”in Paragraph 2
A. To show the microwave is of poor quality.
B. To indicate how dependent the child is.
C. To indicate family issues affect work hours.
D. To show work time creeps into family life.
3. As a result of negative“spillover”, people will feel ______.
A. less satisfied with their family life
B. less satisfied with their work
C. angry with their troublesome children
D. unwilling to get married at an early age
4. According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to Chesley, what is the best solution to the problem caused by cellphones
A. Refuse to use cell phones.
B. Separate work hours from family time.
C. Ignore coming calls during family time.
D. Encourage women to stay at home.
5. We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. spillover makes the line between work and home unclear
B. cell phones seem to be convenient to families
C. cell phones affect men as much as women
D. we can do nothing to solve the problem

Most people watch ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing Jeremy Lin these past two months saw Jeremy Lin，New York Knicks star；but I，watching him，saw someone else.That was my elder brother，Bob，who is athletic and energetic.He could never sit still when he was in second grade；he had to get up every now and then and run around the room.And sure enough，he grew up to be a starting player for an NCAA championship lacrosse (长曲棍球) team.He was a Nike endorsed marathoner，too，and reached the top of Mt.Everest，unguided，in his 50s.
And yet my family ne ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ver watched his lacrosse games.We did watch some of his marathons，but that wasn’t until he was in his 20s.When Bob was in his glory days，our Shanghainese born parents were bent on getting him into medical school.There was a loving aspect to it：I can remember my father working through math books with him，lesson by lesson，at the big blackboard in the attic.Bob never did become a doctor，though；and neither did I．It wasn’t until my younger sister came along that someone in the family finally wore a white coat.
Bob today cou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ld be the fittest 58 year old on the planet.His doctor estimates his biological age at 35；he’s still big mountains in the Himalayas.And，like Jeremy Lin，he’s charming.No one sees Bob without leaving with a laugh.He sometimes jokes he could be mayor of his building，and it’s true.To know him is to cheer for him.
And yet my pare ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nts did not cheer for him.What if my mother had sat on the sidelines with her statistics，like Jeremy Lin’s mother？What if my father had played videos of athletes for my brother to watch and imitate？It’s hard not to wonder.
And how did ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Jeremy Lin’s parents manage to do these remarkable things？Amy Chua，the tiger mother，recalls her immigrant father beating the kids whenever they mispronounced a Chinese word.How is it that Jeremy Lin’s immigrant father in particular，Gie Ming Lin，encouraged his son to follow such an untraditional path

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
I heard many ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (紧握) at one another’s hands for reassurance.
They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger cocoon.
It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.
But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come – with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.
32. In this passage, the author wants to tell _______.
A. teenagers to try to pursue their real selves
B. readers to tr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y to be popular with people around
C. parents to try to control and guide their children
D. people to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )try to understand and respect each other
33. The author disapproves of rebelling teenagers _______.
A. growing away from their parents B. following the popularity trend
C. walking a new way on their own D. turning to their friends for help
34. The phrase “larger cocoon” at the end of the second paragraph refers to _______.
A. the distractive and variable society B. the dazzling music world
C. the parental care and love D. the popularity wave in the society
35. What does the author think of advertisements
A. Convincing. B. Instructive. C. Influential. D. Authoritative.

Planning a visit to the UK Here we help with ways to cut your costs.
AVOID BIG EVENTS ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost ￡169.15 at . A week later, the same room cost ￡118.15.
If you can be flexi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ble and want to know dates to avoid—or you're looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.
STAY AWAY FROM THE ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.
Don't be too ch ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge's Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was ￡95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was ￡75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just ￡62.95.
LOOK AFTER YOU ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )RSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self－catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, available for ￡420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.
GET ON A BIKE London' ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s “Boris bikes” have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.
Among the smaller cit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ies with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around ￡1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or ￡5 per day)．
25. The Brighton Com ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )edy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may ________．
A. help travelers pass time
B. attract lots of travelers to the UK
C. allow travelers to make flexible plans

During the f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )all months at high school guidance counseling programs, juniors run to the stage to participate in an exercise to help them understand that it is not “where you go” that matters. They hold posters with the names and faces of famous people while their peers (同龄人) and parents shout out with confidence the names of elite (精英) colleges they assume the celebrities attended. The “oohs” and “aahs” follow when they learn that Steven Spielberg, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates dropped out of college, that Oprah Winfrey is a graduate of Tennessee State and that Ken Burns graduated from Hampshire College. If even a few stressed students and their anxious parents benefit from this information, it is a worthwhile exercise.
Even better is giving ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the students a task to identify the happy, successful people in their own circle of family, friends, co-workers and neighbors and challenging them to go and ask “if or where they went to college” as a means of broadening the conversation in their search for a life after high school.
The key to success in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) college and beyond has more to do with what students do with their time during college than where they choose to attend. A long-term study of 6,335 college graduates published by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that graduating from a college where entering students have higher SAT scores -- one marker of elite colleges --- didn’t pay off in higher post-graduation income. Researchers found that students who applied to several elite schools but didn’t attend them --- either because of rejection or by their own choice --- are more likely to earn high incomes later than students who actually attended elite schools.
In a summary of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the findings, the bureau says that “evidently, students’ motivation, ambition and desire to learn have a much stronger effect on their future success than average academic ability of their classmates.”
The late author Loren ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Pope, who wroteLooking Beyond the Ivy League andColleges That Change Lives, noted that the greater the opportunity for engagement and critical, creative and cooperative learning with staff, peers and community, the more likely the chance for future success.
59. The purpose of t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he guidance counseling programs is to help students _________.
A. apply for suitable colleges
B. learn about college life
C. choose the most famous colleges
D. know about famous graduates
60. Ken Burns’ example shows that the successful people _________.
A. don’t need support from their friends
B. have their own circle of family
C. don’t necessarily graduate from a famous college
D. graduate from a famous college
61. What contribute ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s most to students’ success in college and after graduation is _________.
A. whether they enter the elite college or not
B. whether they have spared no effort in college or not
C. whether they possess a higher SAT scores or not
D. whether they have famous schoolmates or not
62. According to Lore ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n Pope, future success depends more on _________.
A. staff, peers and community
B. motivation, ambition and desire to succeed
C. average academic ability of the classmates
D. creation, cooperation and opportunity
