第二部分：阅读理解（共两节；满分30分）
第一节（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出正确选项。
A
I was driving home the other day on a sunny afternoon. I had a smile on my face as I sang along to the songs on the radio. It was a beautiful day that I felt full of happiness. My good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs. Then suddenly I found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. I shook my head as I came to a red traffic light.
As I pulled to a stop I noticed four leather-jacketed bikers. They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. They looked rough and dangerous, but as I got closer I noticed each one was holding their helmet in their hands. I rolled down my window as one approached my car. “We are the Brother’s of the Wheel”, he said. “We are collecting money for a Christmas Toy Drive for needy children”. As I pulled a dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and tattoos and into his eyes. They shined with a goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. I dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove off. My good mood had returned. My faith in mankind had been improved. And I had to remember again never to judge people by their appearance.
Our society often judges books by their covers, but God reads what is written in our hearts and souls. Perhaps one day we will all learn to see the world through the same eyes. Perhaps one day we will realize that looks matter little and actions matter much.
21. The writer’s good mood ended when __________.
A. he heard news between songs
B. he had to stop at a red traffic light
C. he heard a rich man broke the law
D. he saw four leather-jacketed kids in need
22. What were four bikers doing at the traffic light?
A. Having a bicycle race in the street.
B. Selling helmets to the passers-by.
C. Raising money to help kids in need.
D. Preparing for Christmas holidays.
23. The writer wants to tell us that we should ___________.
A. have faith in young people
B. judge others by their actions
C. change our attitude to society
D. manage to help others in need
B
Gadgets you’ll have soon
Ten years ago, computers were not that popular, to say nothing of smart phones or tablets-people had no idea what those were. Yet today, these digital gadgets are such an important part of most of our lives that we couldn’t imagine living without them.
So what might technology look like in 10 years?
CNN has listed several new electronics that are likely to enter our lives in the near future. Let’s look at some of them.
1.Touch screen shirt
One of the important features of future electronics design is making them wearable. While we now have to hold cell phones with our hands, the touch screen shirt will allow us to “wear” it, as the screen will be woven into the sleeve. This shirt will be very useful when you’re exercising and don’t want to carry too many personal items with you.
2.Fitbit Flex wristband(腕带)
This wristband will be another example of “wearable tech”. Put it on and it’ll start tracking your activities—the steps you take, the calories you burn and the quality of your sleep. The wristband will connect to your computer or smartphone wirelessly, and it will be waterproof as well, which means you will be able to wear it anytime and anywhere—even when you are taking a shower or swimming.
3.Nest Thermostat(温度调节器)
Besides being wearable, the electronics of the future will also get better at knowing you and suiting your needs. Nest Thermostat will have the ability to remember and learn about your lifestyle and adjust the temperature of your apartment accordingly. For example, it will turn the temperature up when it expects you to come home from school or work and turn it down when you are away.
4.Mico Headphones
Headphones for music will get smarter too. Mico Headphones, designed by Japanese company Neurowear, will be able to read your mind by attaching a sensor to your head. They will then analyze your brain activities to figure out your mood and choose a song from your playlist to match it. How amazing that is!
24. What does the underlined word “adjust” mean?
A. Lower.
B. Increase.
C. Change.
D. Measure.
25. Which of the following electronics should you use if you go surfing at the beach?
A. Touch screen shirt.
B. Fitbit Flex wristband.
C. Nest Thermostat.
D. Mico Headphones
26. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?
A. Nest Thermostat is unwearable.
B. Touch screen shirt makes it convenient for you to exercise.
C. Fitbit Flex wristband can count how many calories you’ve eaten.
D. Mico Headphones let you choose songs from the Internet.
C
TV Affects dreams
We have dreams almost every night. Do you ever notice the colors of your dreams? Do you dream in black and white or do you dream in yellow, red and green?
New research suggests that the type of television you watched as a child has a great effect on the color of your dreams.
While almost all people under 25 dream in color, thousands of people over 55, all of whom were brought up with black and white TV sets, often dream in monochrome(黑白画面)。
“It suggests there could be a critical period in our childhood when watching films has a big impact on the way dreams are formed”, said Eva Murzyn, a psychology student at Dundee
University in Britain who carried out the study.
Research from 1915 through the 1950s suggested that the vast majority of dreams are in black and white. But the tide(潮流) turned in the sixties, and later results suggested that up to 83 percent of dreams contain some color.
Since this period also marked the transition(过渡) between black-and-white film and TV and Technicolor(印染法彩色)，an obvious explanation was that the media had been painting people’s dreams. However, there were n’t any firm conclusions.
But now Miss Murzyn believes she has proven the link. She made a survey of more than 60 people, half of whom were over 55 and half of whom were under 25.
She asked the volunteers to answer a questionnaire on the color of their dreams and their childhood exposure to film and TV.
She then analyzed her own data. Only 4.4 percent of the under-25s’dreams were black and white. The over-55s who had had access to color TV and film during their childhood also reported a very low proportion of just 7.3 percent.
But the over-55s who only had access to black-and –white media reported dreaming in black and white about a quarter of the time.
Even though they would have spent only a few hours a day watching TV or films, their attention and emotion would have been heightened during this time, leaving a deeper imprint on their mind, Miss Murzyn told the New Scientist.
“The crucial time is between three and ten when we all begin to have the ability to dream”, she said.
27. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The relationship between dream color and types of television and films people watch.
B. The relationship between dreams and types of television and films that people watch.
C. The relationship between people’s dreams and colors that they see in their life.
D. The relationship between dream color and the age of the people.
28. From the text, we can see that ___________.
A. all people who are below 25 dream in color
B. watching TV or films probably affects dream color
C. people over 55 always dream in monochrome
D. people begin to dream when they are 10 years old
29. Which is WRONG according to the passage?
A. Miss Murzyn thought she has proved the connection between dream color and TV and films.
B. The 1960s was a time which marked a transition in dream color.
C. The period between 3 and 10 is an important time in forming dreams.
D. Eva Murzyn is a professor at Dundee University in Britain.
30. In which magazine can you find the article?
A. Aging Healthily
B. Psychology Analysis
C. New Scientist
D. TV And Film Reviews

Yesterday morning, I was surprising to hear that my best friend Allee has been hit by a car and was in hospital. The other day when he was going to cross a street, he was such careful that he didn’t go until he saw the traffic light to turn green. But hardly had he got to the middle of the street while he saw a car suddenly appear on his right-hand side and come towards them. It was too late for Allee to escape. He was hit by the car or was thrown a few meters away. He was sent to the nearest hospital immediately and had operation. When I went to see him, he was out of dangers but still
looked pale. I sincere hope he will recover and return to normal as soon as possible.

Dear Li Hua,
In your last mail you doubt whether it is useful to go to college. But in my opinion, college life is an important part of life, from which we will surely benefit a lot. My reasons are as follows: First, going to college offers you a good chance to further your education. You can learn more knowledge in your major and broaden your horizons. Also, there are many students of your age in college. You can make friends with those sharing your interests. In addition, higher education and many friends may assure you a nice job.
Therefore, just stay focused on your present school work and your efforts will pay off.
Truly yours,
David
