第二部分阅读理解（共2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
There are cases in which it does not seem that hard to decide whether to go on or give up. When a man got to India for the first time, he saw a lot of fruits. In India they have plenty of fruits to sell, but many of them are expensive because they can’t grow m any due to the water situation.
When he saw a big basket of red, long fruit, he went up and asked, “How much per kilo?” The shopkeeper said, “Two rupees.” Two rupees in India is nothing; it’s like dirt. So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating them. But after he ate some of them, his eyes watered, his mouth burned and his face became red.
But he still continued to eat the fruit! Some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said, “You’re crazy, man. Those are peppers! You can’t eat so many! People use them as a condiment（佐料）, but only a little bit to put into food for taste.” But the stupid man said, “No, I can’t stop! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them.”
Similarly, we sometimes do a lot of things like that. We spend money, time or effort on a relationship, business or job. And even though bitter experience tells us i t won’t work, and we know there’s no more hope that things will change in the future, we still cont inue just because we’ve spent money, time, effort and love on it. If so, we’re just like the man who ate the peppers and suffered so much but couldn’t stop because he didn’t want to
waste the money he’d paid. So even if you’ve lost something, let it go and move on. That’s better than continuing to lose.
36. Why did the man buy a kilogram of peppers?
A. Because the appearance attracted him.
B. Because he had never seen peppers before.
C. Because the peppers were very cheap.
D. Because he thought peppers were delicious.
37. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. many kinds of fruits are planted in India
B. it rains a lot all around the year in India
C. India is a country which depends on fruits
D. many fruits are imported to India every year
38. The man wouldn’t give up the peppers for the reason that ________.
A. he thought it would be a waste of money
B. he was used to the taste of peppers
C. he was afraid of being laughed at by others
D. he could keep them for other purposes
39. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Experience is gained through doing.
B. Success belongs to those who keep on.
C. It’s wise to give up in some cases.
D. Following others’ advice is important.
B
Canadian violinist Adrian Anantawan was born without a right hand in 1986. His parents raised their son as if he held all the tools of a typical child, which prepared the violinist to follow his dreams. His career started when his father, an amateur violinist, handed him a violin. He began taking lessons when he was nine and ever since has established himself as “a rising star in classical music”.
Adrian has never let the excuse stand in the way of his art. With the help of biomedical engineers in Toronto, he was able to play with a special device（装置）which has allowed him to play the instrument skillfully, with careful guidance from creative arts educators within schools and the community. While all children may not have the same luck and opportunities as he did, he believes it is possible to have a career in music for those with disabilities, given the right environment and assistance.
He played his first solo（独奏）in a youth band at age 13 and at 16 was accepted into the famous Curtis Institute of Music. In 2006, after enjoying a full scholarship, Adrian graduated from Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. In 2008, he completed his Master’s degree in music at Yale University. At 26, Adrian is one of the wo rld’s most promising violinists. His schedule is filled with engagements at the White House and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
Wendy Watson, director of the 2008 documentary（纪录片）Adrian Anantawan, says she knew by the time he was 15 that he would accomplish great things. “He had this determination to show the world that this can be done,” says Watson, “He’s never felt disadvantaged. When he was born, the arm was taken away bu t this gift was given to him.”
40. How did Adrian’s parents treat him when he was young?
A. They treated him with sympathy.
B. They were very strict with him.

Bananas are thought to have originated in Malaysia around 4,000 years ago. From there, they spread throughout the Philippines and India in 327 B.C. Bananas were introduced to Africa by Arabian traders and discovered there in 1482 by European explorers who took them to America, where the majority of bananas are now produced.
Like other fruits and vegetables, bananas contain no fat or cholesterol（胆固醇）. Bananas are rich in vitamin B6 and they are a good source of fiber, vitamin C and potassium（钾）. Lack of B6 in a diet can cause weakness, irritability（易怒）and insomnia（失眠）. The potassium found in bananas helps to improve blood pressure and may reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke.
Since bananas are picked off the tree while they’re still green, it’s not unusual to see them this color in the store. Bananas are usually stored at room temperature. If you need to hasten the ripening process, you can place bananas in a paper bag or wrap them in newspaper, adding an apple to accelerate the process. Ripe bananas that will not be consumed for a few days can be placed in the refrigerator. While their skin may darken, the flesh will not be affected.
While we are accustomed to thinking of sweet bananas as having yellow skins, they can also feature red, pink, purple and black when ripe. Green bananas are selected for cooking or ripening, yellow ones for eating and brown ones are selected for baking breads and cookies. Base your choice of bananas depending upon how you want to consume them.
47. What is the right time order of the statements according to the passage?
a. Bananas are common all around the world.
b. Bananas are widely planted in America.
c. Before that bananas were taken to Africa.
d. Meanwhile, bananas were introduced to India.

D. e, f, d, c, b, a

五、书面表达：（共1题；满分25分）
Dear Madam/Sir,
I’m a Chinese passenger who took your Flight MMYZ 577 from Beijing to London on April 28. I’m writing to complain for the following reasons, hoping your timely solving.
My luggage bag was broken when I got it at the airport. And some of the articles were lost, among which was a pair of precious sports shoes. What was worse, I reported it to some of the staff on duty but no satisfying dealing, with which I’ve been so unhappy. I just can’t imagine how a company with a good reputation can do such a thing! I do hope you’ll take it seriously and get it settled as soon as possible.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Thanks.
Yours,
Li Hua
