第二部分 阅读理解 50 分（共两节，满分 50 分）
第一节 阅读理解 3 篇（共 15 小题，每题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分）
A
When I woke up, I made myself breakfast, sat and listened to the traffic. Some of my friends ask me how I can stand living somewhere so noisy. It's true that there's always some kind of noise in my neighborhood, but to me, these are the sounds of life.
It was Saturday morning, so I decided to go to the park. The taxi is the fastest way to go but I took the bus instead.
When you ride the bus, you get to see so much more of the city. It can be kind of loud on the bus, with some people talking on their phones, others chatting with their friends, and others playing music. It's just like the traffic's sounds, though the noise on the bus represents people working, relaxing and living.
Once I got to the park, I picked a bench over near the play area where kids play while
their parents sit nearby. I can see and hear almost everything from there. People-watching is one of my favorite things to do. However, I like listening even better. The only problem is that there's so much to see and hear in the park!
Usually, I like to close my eyes. That way, I can pay more attention to the sounds and not get distracted by what I see. With my eyes closed, I could pick out parts of two old men's conversation. One of them was telling the other about something his grandson said. I couldn't hear the rest, but it must have been hilarious because his friend's laugh was so loud.
When I'm old, I hope that I too will have a friend who will sit in the park with me, and who will enjoy listening to the sounds of the city as much as I do.
21.Some of the author's friends think "the sounds of life" are very .
A. unpleasant B. unique C. magical D. interesting 22.The author took the bus to the park because .
there was no other transport to go there
he wanted to see more about people's life
it was the most convenient way
his friend advised him to do so
The author closed his eyes in order to .
A. have a good rest B. hide himself from view
C. enjoy the sounds of life D. avoid talking with the two old men 24.The underlined word "hilarious" in Paragraph 5 probably means " ".
A. truly different B. quite popular
C. rather strange D. extremely funny 25.What’s the author’s hope according to the last paragraph
A. Getting rid of the noise. B. Living in a quiet neighborhood.
C. Sitting in the park. D. Enjoying the sounds of a city with a friend.
B
Ida Keeling's daughter, Cheryl, a lifelong athlete, thought that maybe what would pull her mother out from under her dark cloud was something that would get her pumping again. She suggested a run. Not just a jog around the block, but an official run. At the time, Ida Keeling was 67.
Keeling had grown up poor in Harlem, and had done hard work in factories. She had lost her husband early to a heart attack, and two of her four children—both of her sons— died in unsolved drug-related incidents in 1978 and 1981.
Keeling had sunk into a deep depression( 消 沉 ), and her health had begun to slide.
Her daughters began to worry that they soon might be losing their mother as well.
It had been decades since Keeling had done any running, and she would later recall that first "mini-run" feeling as if it would never end. But when it did, "I just threw off all my bad memories."
She hasn't stopped running since, and it's no longer the tough work it was during that first meet. Since then, the small Keeling has set records for 60 meters in the 95-to-99 age group, and in 100 meters for the over-100 group.
"I was just exercising," she says regarding that first run, "and now I'm all over the world."
When she's not running, she's working out. She's in the gym three to four days a week, running on tread-mills (跑步机), working out with weights and pedaling on the exercise bike, and even squeezing in some squats (深蹲) while she's cooking. Part of her healthy diet is occasional brandy wine mixed with her coffee or water to aid circulation (血液循环).
She's written a book about her experiences, titled Can't Nothing Bring Me Down: Chasing Myself in the Race Against Time. Her philosophy is also suitable for a runner: "Every day is another day forward."
What do the underlined words "get her pumping" mean in paragraph 1
A. Free her from great pressure. B. Fill her with life and energy.
C. Equip her with self-confidence. D. Remind her of her problems.
Why did Keeling suffer from a deep depression
A. She had grown up poor. B. She had done hard work.
C. She had been in poor health. D. She had lost her husband and sons.
What contributes to Keeling's setting records when she is very old
A. Travelling around the world. B. The mini-run experience.
C. Working out whenever possible. D. Brandy wine mixed with coffee. 29.Which of the following can best describe Keeling
A. Athletic and strong-willed. B. Caring and sport-loving.
C. Friendly and hard-working. D. Humorous and outgoing.
Which can be the best title for the text
A. Run forward. B. Never too old to learn.
C. Live healthily. D. Never give up hope in life.
C
In October, temperatures across China begin to drop. Do you experience a mood shift as it turns to winter
Many people do. For about one in 20 people in the northern half of the United States, cooling temperatures and shorter, darker days may signal the onset of seasonal affective disorder (季节性情绪失调), or SAD, a type of depression that typically arrives in autumn or winter, The New York Times reported.
Not every mild blue feeling in winter is SAD. SAD symptoms ( 症 状 ) make it difficult for people to function. It tends to start with an increased appetite for foods like French fries or ice cream, the eagerness to sleep longer hours, difficulty getting up in the morning and feeling wiped out at work, according to Wales Online.
The exact cause of this disorder remains unknown. But the good news is that because SAD is tied to the changing seasons, "You can predict its onset and ward it off." Michael Terman, a professor of clinical psychology at Columbia University, US, told The New York Times.
"There's been a fair bit of research since about the 1980s supporting light therapy ( 疗法) as being effective for seasonal kinds of depression," psychotherapist Rakhi Chand told The Guardian. But she also advised using this type of therapy under the guidance of a professional.
While light therapy is the first recommended treatment for SAD, getting outside regularly can offer other opportunities to sink in some light. You might want to retreat ( 撤
退) like the hibernating (冬眠) bear, but don't, "Norman E, Rosenthal, the psychiatrist (精神病学家) whose research team identified and named the disorder in the 1980s, told The New York Times. "Walking outside even 20 or 30 minutes each day could make a huge difference," he added.
Also, instead of giving into sugar longing, it is important to choose foods that are known to boost mood such as dark chocolate, nuts, oatmeal and berries, according to Egypt Today.
Too nervous to enter winter Remember, SAD is seasonal. If winter comes, can spring be too far behind
What may signal the onset of SAD
A. Rising temperatures. B. Longer days.
C. Shorter days. D. Warming temperatures. 32.Which of the following is a SAD symptom
A. Having a reduced desire to eat. B. Finding it difficult to fall asleep.
C. Waking up early in the morning. D. Having low or no energy at work.
What is paragraph 6 mainly about
A. The origin of light therapy. B. The benefits of light therapy.
C. The definition (定义) of light therapy. D. Alternatives (替代品) to light therapy.
Which of the following is true
SAD usually arrives in spring.
SAD lasts all year around.
The exact cause of SAD is known.
Walking outside may relieve the symptom of SAD.
What is the main topic of this passage
A. Seasonal sadness in winter. B. Increased appetite in winter.
C. Longer sleep hours in winter. D. Decreased temperature in winter.
第二节 七选五 （共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项
为多余选项。
In your life, sometimes you may be asked to speak in front of a large group of people. Although it sounds a little scary, even those with stage fright can speak successfully to the group with adequate preparation.
Practice your speech before the big day. 36 . If possible, practice the speech in front of a friend or family member to get used to saying it to real people. If you feel you must have note cards, limit the amount to about three cards. This will force you to keep your speech concise and help you keep your eyes focused on your audience.
Remember why you've been invited to speak. If you're battling fear over speaking to a large group of people, keep your mind on the fact that you were selected for this important role. The speech organizers must have seen something valuable in you or your expertise. 37 .
Remember that fear of public speaking is very common. 38 . Most of the people in the audience would be feeling the same fear and stress that you do in your position. Knowing this may make you feel better.
39 . What you say should be tailored to why you're there and who you're speaking to in order to avoid sounding general. If speaking to a charity group, mention the good work certain specific individuals have done for the cause. If speaking at a business conference, briefly state why you want to help these people.
Keep eye contact with the crowd. 40 . Pick one person in each section and look at him while you're speaking. After each important point in your speech, switch your focus to another section. When you focus only on one person at a time， the size of the crowd isn't as frightening.
A good memory is really helpful.
Show appreciation to your audience.
Mention your audience in your speech.
The more you have it memorized, the better.
In fact, it's normal to feel nervous or stressed out before a big speech.
Separate the crowd into three sections mentally as you get up to speak.
The knowledge of other people's respect for you should reduce some of the fear.
