第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）

一节 (共15小题，每小题2.5分，满分37.5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

We're always looking for well-written reviews of books, music, movies, television shows, websites, video games and other products. When writing a review, concentrate on exactly what you liked or didn't like. Give examples of strengths and weaknesses, be descriptive and provide background information on an author, director, actor or musician, if possible. Find professional reviews in magazines or newspapers and see how reviewers deal with their topics, but be sure to express your own voice in your review.

Grammar Hint for Reviews：When describing a book, movie, album or anything else, use the present tense.

Book Reviews

Discuss an author's technique, strengths and weaknesses instead of focusing on the plot. Does the story flow？ Is there a strong sense of character and place？Did you stay up until dawn to finish it？Is it good reading for teenagers？What influence did it have on you and why？If you've read other books by the same author, discuss how this book compares.

Movie Reviews

Think of the major Oscar categories and consider the performances, music, lighting and setting, etc. Do these work together？ Did some hold up while others didn't？ If the movie is based on a book, discuss whether one is better than the other and why. If the movie is a remake, compare the film to its original.

Remember that a well­written movie review should discuss strengths and weaknesses. Some readers may not have seen a movie yet, so don't give away an exciting scene or the ending！

College Reviews

Begin by providing an overview of the college, including location, size and a description of the campus and/or dorm life. Think about all aspects of your college visit. What academic, athletic and after-class programs are available？ What are the students like？ What makes the college different from others？ Every school has strengths and weaknesses. Be objective. Consider what the school has to offer and who might enjoy or benefit the most from attending there.

1. When writing a review, you    .

A. cannot refer to any previous review

B. must express your own views and opinions

C. must provide some information about the author

D. needn't give any examples to support your views

2. Which aspects should be included in all three reviews？

A. Strengths and weaknesses. B. Plot and character.

C. Programs and scenes. D. Location and description.

3. Where can you probably find the passage？

A. In a personal diary. B. In an official report.

C. In a tourist guidebook. D. In a popular magazine.

Josh Morrison, 17, dreamed of raising $100,000 to build a home for a low-income family. After years of hard work, his dream has come true. The house is now in the early stages of building.

Six years ago, Josh and his dad went into the Habitat for Humanity ReStore, a home improvement store and donation center run by the nonprofit organization. They were there to buy a sink. Josh, then 11, also noticed a collection of pennies. “I instantly felt the urge to help with that,” he said. Josh set a fund-raising deadline of four years. Many people doubted whether he could reach his goal of $100,000, but it didn’t shake his faith. He devoted his time to raising money at his school and other nearby schools. He collected money from neighbours, got publicity from local newspapers, and placed cans in stores so that people could donate extra change.

Josh’s fund-raising efforts began to produce results. Still, there were challenges. Four months before his deadline, he was $ 30,000 short. He decided to hold a Family Fun Fair and Spaghetti Dinner event in Uxbridge, which is in the province of Ontario. The event raised $19,000.

“I didn’t care how long it took me,” said Josh. “I would raise $100,000.” With three weeks left, a company called Josh’s house and offered to donate $18,000. Eventually, Josh reached a total of $134, 000 before the deadline. “The momentum just kept going, and we decided to do more,” he said. “Josh’s Penny House” is being built by Habitat for Humanity in the city of Oshawa, along with 24 new town houses. Josh has helped with some construction, as have other volunteers. He will choose the family that moves into the unit.

Next year, the 17-year-old kid will head to college in British Columbia, Canada’s westernmost province. As an11-year-old kid when starting fund-raising, Josh was able to send a powerful message across the world. No matter how old you are, if you have a dream and are willing to do anything to achieve it, it can come true.

4. Which word can best describe Josh Morrison in Paragraph 2?

A. Cautious B. Straightforward C. Open-minded D. Determined

5. Why did Josh hold the Family Fun Fair and Spaghetti Dinner event?

A. To attain his goal. B. To call for more attention.

A. He received continuous donations. B. His project became more popular.

C. He got more support from his family. D. The result was beyond expectations.

7. What can be the best title for the text?

A. Kindness from a Company B. The Penny House Dream

 Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional (情感的) intelligence. Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person's makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and “people skills.” Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.

We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.

Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重视) on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.

Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives (视角) from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.

8. What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?

A. It can be measured by an IQ test. B. It helps to exercise a person’s mind.

C. It includes a set of emotional skills. D. It refers to a person’s positive qualities.

9. Why does the author mention “doctor” and “cheater” in paragraph 2?

A. To explain a rule. B. To clarify a concept.

C. To present a fact. D. To make a prediction.

10. What is the author’s attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?

A. Favorable. B. Intolerant.

C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.

11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?

A. Its appeal to the public. B. Expectations for future studies.

C. Its practical application. D. Scientists with new perspectives.

D

Spending time in nature has been known to positively impact mental health for some time now, but even greenery planted along a sidewalk line can be beneficial.

Mental health experts have long believed the health benefits of spending time in nature and there’re many related studies. A team of German researchers studied the long-term connection between living in an urban area where there are fewer green spaces and levels of depression. To understand the impact of being near a green space—specifically, trees planted along neighborhood sidewalks —they examined data from 10,000 residents of Leipzig, the most populated city in Saxony, Germany. Researchers assessed the number and type of street trees, how close they were planted to homes, and the number of drugs residents take to treat depression.

In addition to their closeness to green spaces, researchers also took into account the age, employment status, gender, and body weight of each of the participants. They found that trees located within 100 meters of the home were associated with a lower risk of being given antidepressants(抗抑郁药)，particularly in poor or unimportant neighborhoods. As these populations are usually at a greater risk of being given antidepressants in Germany, the findings prove just how beneficial green spaces in urban areas can be for improving mental health.

“Our findings suggest that street trees— a publicly accessible form of urban green spaces taking up a small area— can help close the gap in health inequalities between economically different social groups,” says Dr. Melissa Marselle, lead author of the study. “This is good news because street trees are relatively easy to achieve and their number can be increased without much planning effort.”

In addition to the mental health benefits for humans, planting more trees is also good for the environment. “Adding street trees in residential urban areas is a nature-based solution that may not only promote mental health, but also contribute to biodiversity conservation and mitigating climate change, says senior author Professor Aletta Bonn.

12. How did the German team obtain their findings?

A. By conducting experiments. B. By carrying out an analysis.

C. By referring to previous studies. D. By interviewing 10,000 residents.

13. What did the researchers find?

A. Spending time in nature has health benefits.

B. Green spaces have different effects on people.

C. People in poor areas suffer depression more easily.

D. Trees close to homes may reduce the risk of depression.

14 What does the underlined word “mitigating” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A. Wiping. B. Easing. C. Understanding. D. Monitoring.

15. Why does the author write this text?

A. To give tips on planting trees. B. To report a discovery in medicine.

C. To present the findings of a study. D. To share a way to fight depression.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question: “Should I jump?” This is what motivation or the lack of it can do. Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of same coin. ___16___ Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided.

___17___ More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal? First, you need to evaluate yourself, your values, your strengths, your weaknesses, your achievements, your desires, etc. Only then should you set your goals.

You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation. This is quite important, because it is directly related to your commitment. There are times when your heart is not in your work. ___18___ So, slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment. Clarity(清晰) of thoughts can help you move forward.

Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives, keeping in mind your beliefs, values and strengths. Remember that goals are flexible. ___19___ They also need to be measurable. You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.

Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may want to be a pilot but can’t become one because your eyesight is not good enough. ___20___You should reassess your goals, and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.

You will surely need to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but most unplanned. You cannot overcome them without ample motivation. Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals.

A. This can affect your work.

B. So how should you motivate yourself?

C. However, this should not discourage you.

D. So why should we try to set specific goals?

E. They can change according to circumstances.

F. Motivation is what you need most to do a good job.

Our school has had a survey on reading. It shows that 55 percent the students spend their time reading textbooks after the school. Only 10 percent enjoy read literature. Why? They don’t have enough time but they have too much homework to do. Some complain that literary work are so thick that they hardly have enough patient to finish them. Others who only concentrate in how to get high scores simply admit that reading literature won’t help them with their exams. What's more, some students showed no interest in literature.
