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.
Many people take it for granted that black is a color of bad things while white should always mean something good．This may be because, in their opinion, black is related to darkness and white to purity．However, that is not always the case．Did you know that the same one color may mean differently in different places of the world?
In the English-speaking world, black is the color of mourning．People wear black clothes at the funeral．Red is concerned with danger or bloodshed（流血）．Yellow is the word for fear．If you are afraid, you are yellow．Yet none of these sayings is true outside the English-speaking world．In China and Korea white is the color of mourning．In Russia, China and some other countries, red stands for beauty, life and excellence．In Italy and Germany, you are yellow with anger, not with fear．
Even within the English-speaking area it is not difficult to find color contradictions （矛盾）．A redcap in the United States is a porter in a railway station．In Britain, however, a redcap is a military policeman．Both names are logical because both men wear red caps．Similarly, the British term for an American white collar worker is sometimes called a black-coated worker．
One does not have to cross an area to find color differences．Would you rather be red-blooded? If we go back to the origin, we find that both terms are logical as both names suggest．The expression "blueblood" comes from Spain, where some noble families proudly said that they had "blue blood"．But then why "blue" blood? Because they were fairskinned, and it is only natural that their blood vessels（血管）stood out appearing blue．
21．The two meanings of the term "redcap" form a difference in _______．
A．pronunciation B．climate
C．logical relationship D．custom
22．Both Britain and America would probably agree that _______．
A．black is the color of mourning
B．a black-coated worker is employed in an office
C．red stands for beauty and excellence
D．a redcap is a porter in a station
23．The best title for this passage is _______．
A．The Origin of Blue Blood
B．The Development of the Symbolic Use of Colors
C．Colors that Carry Bad Meanings
D．The Meaning Concerned With Certain Colors
24．When some Spanish called themselves "blueblood", they actually meant _______．
A．they had heart trouble and their faces looked blue
B．they came from a noble family
C．they had blue blood in their vessels
D．they were fairskinned

San Francisco is going to do what many other cities have already done—provide free bicycles for the public . The mayor of San Francisco supports the bicycle program . He wants to improve the terrible traffic problems in the city .
At first , 40 to 60 bikes will be available only to city workers . People will give their old bikes to the city to use in the program . If this program is successful , one day more than 1000 bicycles will be available . Everyone , not just city workers , will be able to use these bicycles .
People in Fresno, California already have a free bicycle program . In fact , this idea began in Amsterdam over 40years ago . These programs encourage citizens to get out of their cars and onto pollution-free bikes .
Fresno’s Yellow Bike Program puts about forty bicycles around the city . The bikes are painted bright yellow so people know they can take them . When people take a yellow bike , they can ride to work or to shopping areas ,and then leave the bike for the next rider .
Some people worry that the free bikes will be stolen . However , theft hasn’t been a problem in free-bike cities by now.
While most people think the bike program is a good idea , only a few say they will use it . “I will still drive my car,” says Joanna Greene . “San Francisco has a lot of hills . My office is at the top of Potrero Hill . I don’t think I’m in good shape . And , wouldn’t I have to carry a helmet with me all the time ?”
Phil Chung agrees , “ There is too much traffic . Riding a bicycle can be risky . There are not very many bike lanes.” He continues , “Plus , it’s too cold in the winter . And what if you ride a bike to work , and then there isn’t one to ride home ?”
Program leaders know there will be problems . But they think it’s worth trying . “It’s not the solution for everyone,” states Sylvia Pass . “But if just one hundred people use it every day , that’s one hundred cars that aren’t on the streets , one hundred parking spaces that aren’t used . I think it’s a great beginning .”
25．San Francisco provides bicycles to the public because .
A．there are many bikes available
B．many people don’t have cars of their own
C．many other cities have already done so
D．the traffic problems are terrible
26．The following statements are the disadvantages of free bike program in Sam Francisco except that .
A．free bikes will be stolen
B．San Francisco is not flat at all
C．riding a bike is not safe enough
D．it will be too cold in the winter
27．The program leaders think the program is worth trying NOT because .
A．there will be more problems
B．they can’t solve problems for everyone
C．there will be less cars on the streets anyway ?
D. there will be more parking spaces
C
The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet (彗星) is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of the Earth.
On 17 July , a piece four kilometers wide enters the Earth’s atmosphere with a massive explosion. About half of the piece is destroyed, but the remaining part hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the sea bed. Huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole. The wall of water, a kilometer high, rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned.
Before the waves reach South America, the second piece of the comet lands in Argentina. Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains. The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean. The cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes. Millions of people in the southern half of the earth are already dead, but the north won’t escape for long. Because of the explosions, the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero .Crops are ruined. The sun won’t be seen again for many years. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later, no more than 10 million people remain alive.
Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space. The dinosaurs couldn’t live through the cold climate that followed and they died out. Will we meet the same end?
28．What is mainly described in the passage?
A．A historic discovery. B．An event of imagination.
C．A research on space. D．A scientific adventure.
29．When the first piece hits the South Atlantic, it causes .
A．an earthquake B．damages to cities
C．an Earth explosion D．huge waves
30．Why can’t the northern half of the earth escape for long?
A．Because the land is covered with water
B．Because the light and heat from the sun can not reach the earth.
C．Because people there can not live at the temperature of zero.
D．Because wars break out among countries .
31．By giving the example of dinosaurs, the author tries to prove .
A．animals could not live in the cold climate
B．what happened 65 million years ago was an invented story
C．the human beings will die out in 2094
D．the Earth could be hit by other objects in space
D
The coyote (丛林狼), that clever animal of wide-open spaces, has come to the nation’s capital. In fact, coyotes have spread to every corner of the United States, changing their behaviors to fit new environments and causing researchers to deal with a troublesome new kind of creature: the city coyote.
The coyote originally lived in the middle of the continent. One of its most obvious characters is its smartness, which has made the animal a notorious (臭名昭著的) pest. Hunters trapped, shot and poisoned more than a million coyotes in the 1900s. It’s still one of America’s most hunted animals. Yet the coyote has survived. How has the coyote shown this extraordinary ability? “I guess if you wanted to use one word, it’d be ‘plasticity’,” says Eric Gese, an expert at Utah State University. Coyotes can live alone, in pairs, or in large packs like wolves; hunt at night or during the day; occupy a small region or an area up to 40 square miles; and live on all sorts of food, from lizards and shoes, to ants and melons.
Unbelievably people helped coyotes increase when they killed most of the wolves in the United States. The spreading of coyotes into city areas, though, is recent. They travel at night, crossing sidewalks and bridges, running along roads and ducking into culverts (钻入涵洞) and underpasses. No one knows why coyotes are moving into cities, but experts explain that cleverer, more human-tolerant (不怕人的) coyotes are teaching urban survival skills to new generations.
Occasionally, coyotes might attack human beings. There have been about 160 attacks on people in recent years. Therefore, people have been consistently told not to feed coyotes or leave pet food unsecured. That, plus a large trapping program in the neighborhood, has cut down on the coyote population.
32. The underlined word “plasticity” in Paragraph 2 refers to______.
A. the ability to fit the environment B. notorious smartness
C. hunting ability D. being human-tolerant
33. The aim of the passage is to______.
A. tell people how to fight against coyotes
B. tell us why the coyote is the most hunted animal
C. supply the reason why the coyote is a kind of notorious pest
D. explain how the coyote has spread to and survived in cities
34. According to the passage, coyotes_______.
A. originally lived in the west of the continent
B. sleep during the day but look for food at night
C. are teaching survival skills to their younger generations
D. suffered a population decrease because people killed wolves
35. According to the passage, to cut down on the coyote population, people are advised to_______.
A. leave pet food secured B. keep coyotes in small regions
C. force coyotes to live alone D. avoid using trapping programs
