第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
第一节：（共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分）
A
In our world today, the media and entertainment industries are constantly focusing on beauty over brains. Movies, television shows, commercials, and magazines all make use of models and actors whose physical attributes(特性) will sell their product.
As our country is trying to reduce the obesity numbers, eating disorder statistics continue to increase due to the push for thinner people. While obesity is a serious medical condition that can lead to many health problems, many of us try to lose weight for appearance purposes. Children as young as elementary school age have begun to worry about the numbers that appear on the scale. In my opinion, it seems that “fat” has become the new “ugly”.
Two weeks ago, 37-year-old Wisconsin television reporter Livingston, who is 235 pounds, received an email from a man named Krause. In the email Krause attacked her, writing, “Your physical condition hasn’t improved for many years. Surely you don’t consider yourself a suitable example for this community’s young people, girls in particular.”
Today, it seems that a vast majority of people care more about how they look and appear to their peers rather than what is inside. The truth is that every person is built differently; we all come in different shapes and sizes. Just because someone is heavier, that doesn’t mean they eat large amounts of junk food around the day. Likewise, even though a person is thin, that doesn’t mean they are necessarily healthy and fit.
If you are reading this and you struggle with your weight or your appearance, please recognize that you are beautiful and special in your own way. You are worth so much more than you realize, and even if I don’t know you, understand that I respect and support you. Beauty is not defined by size; it is defined by how we treat others and respect ourselves. In the words of the talented film actress Kirstie Alley, “There’s a lot more to life than how fat or thin you are.”
21. With so many people losing weight, it will end in        .
A. models’ and actors’ appearance in ads
B. the fall of media and entertainment industries
C. more and more people becoming obesity
D. more people’s suffering from eating disorder
22. The underlined phrase “the numbers that appear on the scale” in the second paragraph may mean        .
A. intelligence       B. weight       C. patience    D. strength
23. What Kirstie Alley said means         .
A. people should pay attention to the appearance
B. there is no need for any people to go on diet
C. people are beautiful when they concern others
D. there’s always someone who understands and supports you
B
Mapping Your World
Different forms of maps are appearing. They allow independent travelers to get local knowledge of places they are visiting, from the official to the unusual. Meanwhile, hi-tech developments are creating new ways for us to map the world. Here are two of our favorites: 
      Green Maps
      Green Maps allows people to share with the world their knowledge of environmentally friendly places and attractions in the local areas. Users add information with a set of icons (图标) , making it easy to read any map, whatever the nationalities of those who produce it. At present there are over five hundred map, projects being developed in 54 countries. Green Maps' advertised idea is "think global, map local". It is a wonderful way of gaining all sorts of information of a place, ranging from community gardens to good places of bird watching.
      Green Maps is not specifically intended for travelers. Not all of its maps are online, so it may be necessary for some users to communicate with the producers through the Green Maps website.
      Map Mashups
      Many people use online maps developed by Google, but not many know about the mashups of them. Working in a similar way to Green Maps, Map Mashups allows people to add icons of their own to existing maps to express a certain topic. The mashups is so called because it combines all the knowledge you could ever need. It ranges from the extremely useful, such as where all the World Heritage Sites are, to the most bizarre (古怪的), such as where America's drunkest cities are. With the mashups added to the basic Google Maps, a multilayered (多层的) map can be created.
24. According to the passage, which of the following is a characteristic of Green Maps?
A. Introducing local attractions with icons.
B. Aiming at environmental protection.
C. Offering advice to independent travelers.
D. Collecting icons worldwide for local maps.
25. Which of the following icons is most probably NOT used in Green Maps?

26. "Map Mashups" is named with the word "mashups" because ________.
A. it is produced by users all over the world B. it is a branch of Google Maps
C. it shares icons with Green Maps D. it gathers various kinds of information
27. What do Green Maps and Map Mashups have in common?
A. They are created by local people. B. They are environmentally friendly.
C. Users can edit maps on the Internet. D. Users need to communicate with producers.
C
In October 2010, I left my hometown and family in Virginia and moved to Iowa so I could be coached by Liang Chow. I'd been dreaming of an Olympic gold medal since I was eight — but gradually, that dream seemed like a million miles away.
On January 2, 2012, while Mom was visiting me in Iowa, I told her, “I don't like gymnastics anymore. I want to try dancing, or become a singer. I can get a job in Virginia. I just want to come home.”
Mom's eyes narrowed and her expression turned to stone. “You're breaking my heart, Brie,” she said. “You've been doing gymnastics for ten years, and now you want to quit? Have you lost your mind?”
I hadn't lost my mind, but I had lost my fire. It's an entirely different thing to push toward that dream when you feel alone.
“I'm not trying to break your heart, Mom,” I said. “I just don't want to do it anymore.” “I know you miss home. But you've signed a contract that says you will represent your country to the best of your ability. You've got a responsibility to your teammates. And now you just want to walk away? I will not let you be dishonorable. If you don't like gymnastics, then at the very least, you will finish the season.”
The next afternoon as I dragged myself into Chow's gym, I thought of the efforts Mom had made in order to pay for my training. I thought of my two sisters: Arielle, who gave up ballroom dancing, and Joyelle, who stopped ice skating so that our single mom could afford to keep me in gymnastics.
For now, here's what you need to know: Exactly 210 days before I ever attempted my first vault (跳跃) in the London Summer Olympics, my leap of faith came this close to ending in a crash of disaster.
28. The author wanted to give up gymnastics because _____.
A. she thought she loved music more B. she was overcome with homesickness 
C. an Olympic gold was beyond her reach D. the training for the Olympics was too hard
29. How did the author's mother feel on hearing her words?
A. Heart-broken.            B. Sympathetic.     C. Helpless.                     D. Calm.
30. We can infer from the passage that the author _____. 
A. was born into an athletic family        B. realized her Olympic dream
C. changed her mind in the end          D. had a bad childhood  
31. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. A dream come true    B. My leap of faith     C. My mother           D. A quitter
D
How the Grand Canyon was created remains one of the geology’s greatest mysteries. Some evidence suggests that the process was a gradual one in which the Colorado River (which runs through the canyon) slowly cut deeper and deeper into the ground over millions of years. But volcanic（火山的） rock samples taken from the canyon（峡谷）now suggest that the canyon was down-cut instead.
Down-cutting is when a flood of water rushes over a landscape with enough force to cut deeply into the ground and leaves behind a canyon. Such a flood is usually released when a natural or artificial dam bursts.
Robert Webb, a research geologist with U.S. Geological Survey, says natural dams seem to have formed and broken across the Colorado River several times during the last million years. The dams were built when lava(熔岩) from the eruptions（爆发）of nearby volcanoes flowed into the river. The lava hardened into hard rocks and blocked the river, causing it to back up and form a lake. Each time the lake grew so huge that it broke the rock dam, releasing a flash flood that furthered the down-cutting process and deepened the canyon. The most recent dam break happened 165,000 years ago, says Webb, and released 15 million cubic（立方）feet of water per second.
Down-cutting is not just an earthly event. Satellite photos sent back from Mars(a planet) suggest that the process has happened there, too, say researchers at the National Air and Space Museum.
The photos, taken by the Mars Global Surveyor, indicate that an enormous lake existed on Mars 3.5 billion years ago. The lake, which was big enough to flood Texas and California, eventually spilled into a large nearby hole. One edge of the hole broke, releasing a flash flood that quickly carved out a grand canyon about 2,100 meters deep and 885 kilometers long. Astronauts call the canyon MA’ adim Vallis.
The existence of down-cutting on Mars is just one more piece of evidence that the cold, dry planet was once warm and wet.
32. In the past, deep canyons were believed to have formed _______.
A. as a result of a sudden break of volcanoes B. owing to the burst of artificial dams
C. due to river flows over millions of years D. thanks to our ancestors’ creative work
33. From the passage we can guess that________.
A. several great lakes existed on the upper parts of the Colorado River.
B. several volcanoes on Mars directly creating grand canyons.
C. people built high dams on the upper parts of the Colorado River.
D. the Colorado River crossed the Grand Canyon to form down-cutting.
34. From the last three paragraphs we learn that _______.
A. there are great lakes on Mars B. there are active volcanoes on Mars
C. there might be life on Mars D. there might be cities on Mars
35. The passage can be titled as _______.
A. Lakes on Earth and Mars B. The Cause of Lake Formation
C. The Force of Dam Breaking D. Canyons—Results of Flood Cutting
