第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）
第一节 （共 10 小题；每小题2.5分，满分 25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
“May she grow up to be as intelligent as her mother.”
“May she become a good hostess.”
“May she be the most beautiful bride in Quanzhou.”
“She will be a famous authoress.”
This last wish was expressed by my elder uncle. I knew it because, being himself fond of writing, he always said the same thing to every-born baby.
The inspection was over; the little girl was wrapped up again and carried away. The relatives presented my mother with gifts. There were eggs in woven baskets, cackling hens, bags of sugar, and selected rice. My grandmother glanced from the bag of sweets to me, and began laughing again.
The procession of relatives moved to the dining room. At the table, the return gifts from our family were distributed, each relative receiving two red eggs. I was sad; we did not have enough money, so I could not stick a gilt-paper hieroglyphic meaning “luck” on the egg.
A year later, on my sister’s birthday the same relatives again crowded into our house. A red tablecloth was put on a table in the sitting room, and all sorts of objects were spread out: a needle and thread, a saucepan, a teapot, a paint-brush, an inkpot, a knife, a book of verses, a book of stories, a flexible spear, and a piece of printed silk.
Then the little girl, who, in her embarrassment, was trying to stick her foot into her mouth, was brought to the table, to see what object she would pick up first. If she takes a brush, she will be an authoress; if she grabs at a saucepan, she will be a housewife; if she touches silk, she will be a well-dressed woman; if she picks up a spear, she will make herself famous as a heroine or a chieftain.
I don’t know what object my little sister chose. Judging by the fact that she is now in Peking University, and shows a great deal of interest in literature, she must have chosen a brush or a book. However, she was a niece of two teachers. So many books and so much stationary were piled up that day on the red cloth that the insignificant needle and thread had no chance of getting into the hands of little An An.
In those days, she was the important person in the house. But I didn’t mind. I was grown up. I was six years older than she.
21. What is mainly described in the first four paragraphs?
A.The greetings for the newly-born baby.
B. The predictions for the newly-born baby.
C. The blessings for the newly-born baby.
D. The affections for the newly-born baby.
22. Why will she make herself famous as a chieftain(酋长) if she picks up a spear?
A. Because a spear belongs to kitchenware.
B. Because a spear makes her escape easily.
C. Because a spear produces bad smells.
D. Because a spear protects her from being hurt.
23. What is the author’s attitude to the fact that the little sister was the center in the house?
A. Jealous. B. Overjoyed. C. Tolerant. D. Inspirational.
B
It seems every major city and town around the world hosts an annual marathon，with thousands of athletes running an exhausting 42.1 kilometres．While many runners’ motivation is to beat their personal best and cross the finishing line without collapsing，they’re also doing it for a good cause——to raise funds for charity．But like other major events，the marathon also generates a massive carbon footprint．This is becoming a big issue for cities—how to host a worthwhile event，encouraging people to exercise and help charities，while protecting the environment? Several cities have developed formal plans to reduce their environmental impact and promote sustainable ideas．One event in Wales，for example，introduced recycling for old running kit．
It’s something that this year’s London Marathon tried to tackle by reducing the number of drink stations on the running route，giving out water in paper cups and offering some drinks in eatable seaweed capsules．They also trialled new bottle belts made from recycled plastic so 700 runners could carry water bottles with them during their run．London Marathon event director Hugh Brasner told the BBC：“There are a lot of initiatives we are using this year that we think will lead to some huge behavioural changes in the future．”
Meanwhile，some people still think running a marathon could be our best foot forward in helping the planet．Dr Andrea Collins from Cardiff University told the BBC：“Training for a marathon makes you more sustainable in day-to-day activities．I started walking or running to work every day and shunning public transport altogether．Being environmentally friendly while training sticks with you and becomes a way of life．”
24．Why do many people enter for a marathon?
A．To achieve their own ambitions．
B．To generate a massive carbon footprint．
C．To improve themselves both physically and mentally．
D．To challenge their personal limitations and raise money for charities．
25．Which of the following can replace the underlined word“shunning”in the last paragraph?
A．Damaging． B. Choosing． C．Changing． D．Avoiding．
26．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Running a marathon can make more money．
B．Running a marathon can contribute to protecting the earth．
C．Running a marathon can change people’s life completely．
D．Running a marathon can do great damage to the earth．
C
As humanity has got richer， animal's roles have changed．People need their services less than before．Fewer wolves and thieves meant less demand for dogs for protection； the internal combustion engine（内燃机）made horses unneeded；modern sanitation（卫生设备）kept rats in check and made cats less useful． No longer necessities, domestic animals became luxuries． Pet-keeping seems to kick in when household incomes rise above roughly ＄5，000． It is booming．
The trend is not a new one. Archaeologists（考古学家）have found 10，000-year-old graves in which dogs and people are buried together．Some cultures -- such as in Scandinavia，where dogs have long been both working dogs and companions -- have kept pets for thousands of years．But these days the pet-keeping urge has spread even to parts of the world which have no tradition of sinking into a comfortable chair with a furry creature．
The pet business is growing even faster than pet numbers，because people are spending more and more money on them．No longer are they food - waste - recyclers，fed with the remains that fall from their masters' tables. Pet - food shelves are full of delicacies crafted to satisfy a range of appetites， including ice cream for dogs and foods for pets that are old，diabetic or suffer from sensitive digestion；a number of internet services offer food，tailored to the pet's individual tastes．
In the business this is called "pet humanisation" -- the tendency of pet owners to treat their pets as part of the family． This is evident in the names given to dogs，which have evolved from Fido， Rex and Spot to -- in America -- Bella， Lucy and Max． It is evident in the growing market for pet clothing， pet grooming and pet hotels．
People still assume that pets must be working for humanity in some way， perhaps making people healthier or less anxious． But the evidence for that is weak． Rather， new research suggests that dogs have evolved those irresistible "puppy - dog eyes" precisely to affect human emotions． It has worked． The species that once enslaved others now works very hard to pay for the care of its pets． Sentimental（多愁善感的）Americans often refer to themselves not as cat-owners but as the cat's "mommy" or "daddy"． South Koreans go one further， describing themselves as cat "butlers"． Watch an unlucky dog-walker trailing "his" hound（猎犬）， plastic bag in hand to pick up its mess， and you have to wonder： who's in charge now？
27.Which of the following trends is NOT TRUE according to the passage？___
A．People's needs for animal services are decreasing．
B．Both the pet number and the pet business are growing．
C．Pets are increasingly making their owners less anxious．
D．Pet foods are more various and customized than before．
28. Which of the following is referred to as evidence of "pet humanization？"___
A．The names given to pets in American families nowadays．
B．Pet's inbuilt ability to affect emotions of their owners．
C．Human beings ever rising urge for pet-keeping．
D．Pet's roles as both working staff and companions．
29. Which of the following statements is the author most likely to agree with？___
A．Pets should be treated as equals of their human masters．
B．Human beings are getting much benefit from their pets．
C．Pet-keeping is still restricted within certain parts of the world．
D．Some pet owners spend too much money on their pets．
30. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage？___
A．The Changing Roles of Animals B． The Urge for Pet-keeping
C． Who Owns Whom D． Love Me，Love My Dog

Having a shy style isn’t necessarily a problem. It’s OK to take time to warm up to new people and situations. 31．Some people want to feel less shy so they can enjoy socializing and being themselves around others. Here are some tips on overcoming shy feelings.
● 32． Practice social behaviors like eye contact, confident body language, introductions, small talk, asking questions, and invitations with people you feel most comfortable around. Smile and build your confidence.
● Think of some conversation starters. Often the hardest part of talking to someone new is getting started. Think of conversation openers, like introducing yourself, giving a compliment, or asking a question. 33．

Read it out loud in front of a mirror. Then just do your social activities.34．Few of the things that more confident people do are perfect, either.
