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
America is growing older. Fifty-eight years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways—education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society—one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable(合适的) at various ages.
A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.
Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother—or my father—was at my age.” No one says “Act your age” any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.
21.It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America________
A. has made people feel younger
B. has changed people’s social position
C. has changed people’s understanding of age
D. has slowed down the country’s social development
22.The underlined word “one” in the first paragraph refers to ________.
A. a society B. America
C. a place D. population
23.“Act your age” in Paragraph 3 means people should________.
A. be active when they are old
B. do the right thing at the right age
C. show respect for their parents young or old
D. take more physical exercise suitable to their age21教育网
24.If a 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it________.21教育名师原创作品
A. normal B. wonderful
C. unbelievable D. unreasonable
B
Do you want to be productive（富有成效的）at work or at home? Here's what you should do.
Turn off television
I used to tell myself that I needed a break. So, when the kids slept I turned on the cable and watched whatever program that caught my fancy. Often, I found myself not watching, just channel-surfing. And I didn’t end up watching a full program. I decided one day to just give up on TV as it made me sleep late and woke up exhausted（疲惫的）.
If you want to be productive, cut off TV. You are better off reading a book. Without TV, I have managed to finish many books which I have bought but never read.
Limit Internet Use
The other big distraction that can make you sleep late is the Internet. Probably because you will be checking your emails, updating your blog, watching YouTube, etc. Try limiting the use of it at home, or switch it to the morning session.【版权所有：21教育】
Nowadays, I check all my personal emails early in the morning. When I get into work, I find myself less tempted to check personal emails.
Know Your Priorities(优先考虑的事)
Really, it is all about the choices you make and the priorities you have. If you know it is competitive out there in the world, how can you be a better worker than the person who is also aiming for the position above you?
Rest Early, Rise Early
You want to be productive? Rise early, read more books, have more energy, be more focused and set standards for others to catch up. It’s as simple as that.
25.The passage aims to give advice on how to ________.
A. take better care of our kids at home.
B. balance our work and energy well.
C. divide time between work and family.
D. compete against others for a better position.
26.What does the author mainly use to support her theory?
A. Ancient wisdom B. Internet information
C. Popular beliefs D. Personal experience
27.The author used to be in the habit of _________.
A. changing channels frequently when watching TV.
B. checking all her personal emails in the morning.
C. watching her favorite TV programs with her kids.
D. reading the books immediately after she bought them.
C
When we talk about stars, especially women stars, it seems that they are always young, pretty and own charming body shapes. But recently a Britain's Got Talent（英国达人）star Susan Boyle has changed our views absolutely.
Simon Cowell, one of the judges of the talent show spoke of his shock over Ms Boyle's voice. "This lady came up, and I'm thinking, 'This will take five seconds and I can go to have a cup of tea'. That changed when she began to sing I Dreamed to Dream from Les Miserables. She knew we were going to have that reaction and just to see that look of satisfaction on her face through -it was one of my favorite moments," Cowell said.
The performance was posted on line and before long, the 47-year-old Scottish woman has been famous all over the world.
Speaking from her home in Scotland, Ms Boyle said that she hasn't thought of changing her appearance. She said that her friend helped her with make-up. "I mean, that's hardly a makeover（改头换面）," she added. Ms Boyle also spoke of the reason she first began to explore her vocal talents, "I was kind of slow at school, so getting like singing was a good way of hiding behind that and thus it built my confidence."
28.Susan Boyle is _________
A. a judge B. a Scottish woman
C. a beautiful woman D. a reporter
29.Susan Boyle had a look of satisfaction on her face when she was singing because______.
A. she was confident of her singing
B. she was satisfied with the judges
C. she was pretty and in good shape
D. she sang the song I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables
30.According to the passage, which is NOT true?
A. It was the vocal talents that built Susan's confidence2-1-c-n-j-y
B. Susan Boyle was not good at her lesson when at school.
C. Susan Boyle became famous because of her appearance.
D. Simon Cowell didn't think Susan Boyle a good singer at the first sight.
31.What can we learn from Susan Boyle's success
A. It's never too old to learn.
B. It's easier to succeed at the age of 47.
C. If you are not able to study well, to be a singer instead.
D. If you have a dream, try to make it come true!
D
Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. While the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(随机地) from population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.
32.Which best describes the writer’s point in Para.1?
A. Intelligence is given at birth.
B. Intelligence is developed by the environment.
C. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
D. Some people are born clever and others born stupid.
33.It is suggested in this passage that __________.
A. close relations usually have similar intelligence
B. unrelated people are not likely to have similar intelligence
C. the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligence
D. people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence
34.The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows_________.
A. the importance of their intelligence
B. the effect of environment on intelligence
C. the importance of their positions
D. the part that birth plays
35.The best title for this article would be “_____________”.
A. On Intelligence
B. What Intelligence Means
C. Born with Intelligence
D. Environment Decides Intelligence

36.
My dad always tells me that if one doesn’t respect money, it will never respect you. Hence, it’s important that you keep a record of your daily expenses. Make it a habit to write down all that you have spent. And when you find out the total expenses at the end of the month, you will realize what you have spent more money in doing. 37.
Open a savings account.
Opening a savings account is a better way to save money. You can set a goal; say (for example), the money is for a new notebook or for college, and then save, until you have enough money to buy a notebook or until you go to college. 38.
Do not carry much cash.
Do you have the habit of not leaving a store without buying anything? The only way to stop that is carrying less money around with you. Go to the store with the minimum amount of money, which will not even help you buy a drink. 39.
Save the changes.
Save the changes that you get back. If you have gone to a shop to buy something and get back some changes, then do not spend them. 40. And you’ll be surprised at the huge amount of money after days.
Follow these tips above, and thus you can save a lot of money. And surely, they’ll help you to be more responsible in your life.

Jessica was just a girl in one of my classes. I never knew much about her except for that she was strange. She didn’t talk many. Her hair was black and purple, and she worn black sports shoes and a black sweater, although in summer. She was, in fact, rather attractively, and she never seemed care what the rest of us thought about her. Like the rest of my classmate, I didn’t really want to get closest to her.

The Sports Activities I Like Best
There are various kinds of sports activities, including ball games like basketball, football, tennis, as well as other activities, such as swimming and hiking. Among them, I like swimming best.
First of all, swimming keeps me healthy. There is no doubt that people who swim a lot have stronger bodies than those who don't. Swimming both contributes to a powerful lung and reduces the risk of heart attacks. Thanks to swimming, I have seldom been sick in the past few years.
Besides, swimming can keep me fit. Having a slim figure is the dream of all girls. Swimming is an effective way to help us lose unnecessary weight. Take me for example, last summer, I kept swimming for 3 days a week; after two months, I have lost 5-kilogram weight!21世纪教育网版权所有
All in all, swimming not only keeps me healthy, but also provides me with a slim figure. Therefore, of all the sports activities, I like swimming best.www-2-1-cnjy-com

A
America is growing older. Fifty-eight years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways—education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society—one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable(合适的) at various ages.
A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.
Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother—or my father—was at my age.” No one says “Act your age” any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.
21.It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America________
A. has made people feel younger
B. has changed people’s social position
C. has changed people’s understanding of age
D. has slowed down the country’s social development
22.The underlined word “one” in the first paragraph refers to ________.
A. a society B. America
C. a place D. population
23.“Act your age” in Paragraph 3 means people should________.
A. be active when they are old
B. do the right thing at the right age
C. show respect for their parents young or old

Do you want to be productive（富有成效的）at work or at home? Here's what you should do.
Turn off television
I used to tell myself that I needed a break. So, when the kids slept I turned on the cable and watched whatever program that caught my fancy. Often, I found myself not watching, just channel-surfing. And I didn’t end up watching a full program. I decided one day to just give up on TV as it made me sleep late and woke up exhausted（疲惫的）.
If you want to be productive, cut off TV. You are better off reading a book. Without TV, I have managed to finish many books which I have bought but never read.
Limit Internet Use
The other big distraction that can make you sleep late is the Internet. Probably because you will be checking your emails, updating your blog, watching YouTube, etc. Try limiting the use of it at home, or switch it to the morning session.【版权所有：21教育】
Nowadays, I check all my personal emails early in the morning. When I get into work, I find myself less tempted to check personal emails.

When we talk about stars, especially women stars, it seems that they are always young, pretty and own charming body shapes. But recently a Britain's Got Talent（英国达人）star Susan Boyle has changed our views absolutely.
Simon Cowell, one of the judges of the talent show spoke of his shock over Ms Boyle's voice. "This lady came up, and I'm thinking, 'This will take five seconds and I can go to have a cup of tea'. That changed when she began to sing I Dreamed to Dream from Les Miserables. She knew we were going to have that reaction and just to see that look of satisfaction on her face through -it was one of my favorite moments," Cowell said.
The performance was posted on line and before long, the 47-year-old Scottish woman has been famous all over the world.
Speaking from her home in Scotland, Ms Boyle said that she hasn't thought of changing her appearance. She said that her friend helped her with make-up. "I mean, that's hardly a makeover（改头换面）," she added. Ms Boyle also spoke of the reason she first began to explore her vocal talents, "I was kind of slow at school, so getting like singing was a good way of hiding behind that and thus it built my confidence."

Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. While the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(随机地) from population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.
32.Which best describes the writer’s point in Para.1?
A. Intelligence is given at birth.
B. Intelligence is developed by the environment.
C. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
D. Some people are born clever and others born stupid.
33.It is suggested in this passage that __________.
A. close relations usually have similar intelligence
B. unrelated people are not likely to have similar intelligence
C. the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligence
D. people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence
34.The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows_________.
A. the importance of their intelligence
B. the effect of environment on intelligence
C. the importance of their positions
D. the part that birth plays
35.The best title for this article would be “_____________”.
A. On Intelligence
B. What Intelligence Means

D. Environment Decides Intelligence

Jessica was just a girl in one of my classes. I never knew much about her except for that she was strange. She didn’t talk many. Her hair was black and purple, and she worn black sports shoes and a black sweater, although in summer. She was, in fact, rather attractively, and she never seemed care what the rest of us thought about her. Like the rest of my classmate, I didn’t really want to get closest to her. It was only when we did their chemistry project together that I begin to understand why Jessica dressed the way she did.

The Sports Activities I Like Best
There are various kinds of sports activities, including ball games like basketball, football, tennis, as well as other activities, such as swimming and hiking. Among them, I like swimming best.
First of all, swimming keeps me healthy. There is no doubt that people who swim a lot have stronger bodies than those who don't. Swimming both contributes to a powerful lung and reduces the risk of heart attacks. Thanks to swimming, I have seldom been sick in the past few years.
Besides, swimming can keep me fit. Having a slim figure is the dream of all girls. Swimming is an effective way to help us lose unnecessary weight. Take me for example, last summer, I kept swimming for 3 days a week; after two months, I have lost 5-kilogram weight!21世纪教育网版权所有
All in all, swimming not only keeps me healthy, but also provides me with a slim figure. Therefore, of all the sports activities, I like swimming best.www-2-1-cnjy-com
