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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Chizuru Kurono:
We had a dress code in my high school. We had to wear uniforms and white socks. We didn’t like our dress code. The teachers warned us, “If you don’t follow the school dress code, you will be considered bad students.”
I didn’t agree with their ideas because they didn’t think about the students’ rights. We wanted them to understand our ideas. In my junior high school, boys were skinheads (光头青年) because of the school dress code. We wanted to change it, so we discussed it with the teachers and with our parents. At last, we got the right to change the school dress code.
Ayumi Ono:
When we wear uniforms, we don’t need extra money for clothes. For example, if we have a school uniform, we wear it every day, so we don’t need to buy dresses to wear to school. I think second-hand clothes are also a good idea. These are much cheaper than new ones.
Kayo Shigenobu:
I don’t think we need dress codes because wearing clothes is a way to express individuality, I want to wear clothes that I like, so I don’t think school uniforms are necessary. However, a school uniform is a symbol of the school.
Mami Kanemaru:
I think a dress code is a bad thing because we cannot show our individuality. We humans each have individuality, so we had better show it to other people. If we have a dress code, we all look alike, but we are different.
Keita Ogura:
To wear the same clothes is an effective way to unite people into one way of thinking. For example, military clothes do this. In some societies, they want to increase their unity and power by making people wear the same clothes.
Yuki Masui:
When I was a high school student, we had some school rules; mainly it was a dress code. We had to wear sailor-style uniforms. Then, as in the winter season we felt cold, we wore T-shirts under our uniforms to protect ourselves from the cold. However, our teachers decided to require students not to wear undershirts. We had to follow these rules. If we didn’t, we were punished.
21．What are these people talking about?
A．Their opinions on what kind of clothes to wear. B．Their opinions on wearing school uniforms.
C．Their opinions on some of their school rules. D．Their opinions of their schools and teachers.

A．will make them lose their personality to others B．can unite them into one way of thinking
C．will enable them to look better than other people D．can save them a lot of money

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son.
Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) perched on the tree near their window.
The father asked his son, “What is this?”
The son replied, “It is a crow.”
After a few minutes, the father asked his son the 2nd time, “What is this?”
The son said, “Father, I have just now told you ‘It’s a crow.’”
After a little while, the old father again asked his son the 3rd time, “What is this?”
“It’s a crow, a crow, a crow,” said the son loudly.
A little after, the father again asked his son the 4th time, “What is this?”
This time the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this?”
A little later, the father went to his room and came back with an old diary, which he had kept since his son was born. Opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary: “Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question a- gain and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel annoyed. I rather felt affection for my innocent child. ”
24．In what tone did the son say to his father “It’s a crow, a crow, a crow”?
A．Hurried. B．Impatient. C．Excited. D．Surprised.

Different weather makes people feel different. It influences (影响) health, intelligence (智力) and feelings.
In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ (智商) of a group students were very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% below. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).
Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.
Low air pressure (气压) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low pressure days. There is “good weather” for work and health. People feel best at a temperature of about 18 centigrade.
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem.
28．People may have more intelligence when comes ____.
A．a rain B．very hot weather C．a strong wind D．low air pressure
29．Low air pressure may make people ____.
A．forgetful B．sad C．angry D．tired
30．In “good weather” of 18 centigrade, ____.
A．people are very forgetful B．people can’t do their work well
C．thin people feel cold D．people are in better health
31．The writer wants to tell us that ____.
A．hot and cold weather influences all people in the same way
B．weather influences people’s lives
C．IQ never changes during weather changes
D．there is a good kind of weather for people’s work and health
D
Forest Schools originated in Sweden in the 1950s and spread to other countries, particularly Denmark where they have become an important part of the Danish early years program.
In a typical Danish Forest School, young children from 3 years are taken into the forest for 4 hours each day of the week. They take no toys with them, but instead use only what the forest provides (and their imaginations) to develop their games. There is a primitive hut in the forest, which is used in extreme weather. Activities are child- led and fun, such as finding small animals or stomping in puddles. Because of high adult to child ratios, children can safely try out activities which are often considered too dangerous, such as climbing trees or lighting fires, and by dressing the children in good protective clothing, they are able to play freely. By setting children small manageable tasks at which they are unlikely to fail, and giving genuine praise, children’s independence and confidence grow.
A Swedish scientific study found that children in the Forest School are more balanced and socially capable, have fewer sick days, are more able to concentrate and have better co-ordination than the city nursery children. The primary reason appeared to be the greater opportunities to play in nature, so that children play for longer at a time, tending not to disturb each other as much as children in the city nursery. The study observed that where children were interrupted, they became irritable, their stress level rose, and their ability to concentrate fell.
The study also showed that the Forest School children had 25 % fewer sick days than the city children. One reason for this is that the air is nearly always better outside than indoors. Outside a child is not so exposed to virus and bacteria and not so likely to be infected by other children. Another reason may be that, since stress has been shown to have a negative effect on the immune system, high stress levels may be weakening the city children. The Forest School children, on the other hand, are in a pleasant, natural, fun and less stressful environment.
32．Why is there a primitive hut in the forest?
A．To enrich the children’s imagination. B．To protect the children from bad weather.
C．To let children have fun. D．To store daily necessities.
33．What kind of activities do the Forest School children have?
A．Activities usually played by braver kids. B．Activities which are designed for adults.
C．Grade-improving activities. D．Activities with fun and a certain level of danger.
34．The Forest School children are more able to concentrate because ______.
A．they have more interesting things to do B．they are accompanied by adults
C．they are not disturbed so often D．they are playing in small groups
35．Which of the following best describes the Forest School children?
A．Free and wild. B．Confident and happy. C．Polite and calm. D．Strong and adventurous.

Dear Lucy,
I'm writing to tell you about the major I will choose in the university.I have decided to major in computer science.There are some reasons why I made such a decision.Firstly,with the development of society,computers are playing an important role in many aspects of our life.Secondly,browsing the Internet is one of my hobbies,so I think I can study computer science well.Last but not least,being good at computer science may help me find a good job after graduating from college.
I know there is a long way to go before I enter a college.So now I must devote myself to study and try my best to get good grades in all subjects.If I can learn computer science as I wish, I will focus on it and study hard to develop some software.
Best wishes.I'm looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
