第二部分 阅读理解 （共两节，满分50分）
第一节 （共20小题；每小题2分，满分40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。
A
My father had returned from his business visit to London when I came in, rather late, to supper. I could tell at once that he and my mother had been discussing something. In that half-playful, half-serious way I knew so well, he said, “How would you like to go to Eton?”
“You bet,” I cried quickly catching the joke. Everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most famous of schools. You had to be entered at birth, if not before. Besides, even at 12 or 13, I understood my father. He disliked any form of showing off. He always knew his proper station in life, which was in the middle of the middle class: our house was medium-sized; he had avoided joining Royal Liverpool Golf Club and went to a smaller one instead; though once he had got a second-hand Rolls-Royce at a remarkably low price, he felt embarrassed driving it, and quickly changed it for an Austin 1100.
This could only be his delightful way of telling me that the whole boarding school idea was to be dropped. Alas! I should also have remembered that he had a liking for being different from everyone else, if it did not conflict with his fear of drawing attention to himself.
It seemed that he had happened to be talking to Graham Brown of the London office, a very nice fellow, and Graham had a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, and while he was in that part of the world he thought he might just as well phone them. I remember my eyes stinging(刺痛) and my hands shaking with the puzzlement of my feelings. There was excitement, at the heart of great sadness.
“Oh, he doesn’t want to go away,” said my mother, “You shouldn’t go on like this.” “It’s up to him,” said my father. “He can make up his own mind.”
21. His father sold his Rolls-Royce because ________.
A. it made him feel uneasy B. it was too old to work well
C. it was too expensive to possess D. it was too cheap
22. The writer’s father enjoyed being different as long as ________.
A. it drew attention to him B. it didn’t bring him in arguments
C. it was understood as a joke D. there was no danger of his showing off
23. What was the writer’s reaction to the idea of going to Eton?
A. He was very unhappy. B. He didn’t believe it.
C. He was delighted. D. He had mixed feelings.
24. We can know from the passage that ________.
A. Children who can go to Eton are very famous
B. Children can go to Eton if they will
C. It is very difficult for a child to get admitted by Eton
D. Children don’t have the right to decide whether they will go to Eton

B
Dog owners now have a little help understanding their furry friends. A new device called Bow-Lingual “translates” dog barks into English, Korea or Japanese.
Bow-Lingual’s Japanese inventors spent much time and money analyzing dog barks. They found that dog noises can be broken down into six different emotions: happiness, sadness, frustration, anger, assertion and desire.
Part of the Bow-Lingual device hangs on the dog’s collar. The other part is a handle-held unit for the owner. When the dogs barks, the unit displays translated phrases.
Some people have scoffed at Bow-Lingual. “Who would pay US$ 120 to read a dog’s mind?” they ask. But those who have purchased Bow-Lingual praise the device. Pet owner Keiko Egawa, of Japan, says it helps her empathize with her dog, Harry. “Before we go to the park, he always says he wants to play,” says Egawa, “and after a walk, he always says he is hungry.”
Bow-Lingual is not yet available in Chinese. So you’d better keep studying Studio Classroom, or soon your dog may know more English than you do!
25. This passage is mainly talking about _________ .
A. talking dogs B. Bow-Lingual’s inventors
C. a little help for dog owners D. dog barks and their different emotions
26. Which of the following sentences is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Dog owners now can understand their dogs better.
B. People who have used the Bow-Lingual say it helps them better understand their dogs.
C. Chinese dog owners would keep studying to know more English than their dogs.
D. Bow-Lingual is a new device that enables dogs to talk in English, Korean or Japanese.
27. How do you understand the sentence “Bow-Lingual is not yet available in Chinese” in the last paragraph?
A. Bow-Lingual has not yet appeared in Chinese market.
B. Bow-Lingual can not yet recognized Chinese dogs’ barks.
C. Chinese dog owners do not know yet how to use Bow-Lingual.
D. Dog barks can not yet be translated into Chinese phrases with Bow-Lingual.
28. The writer of this passage is most likely to be ________.
A. an expert on dog barks B. a reporter for news
C. an advertiser for dog items D. a dog owner
C
Some people who like to eat very hot chili peppers say that they can help you breathe better if you have a cold. Others believe that chilies give you energy.
Do you want to fire up your meals with homegrown chilies? They need a warm climate. If you plant the seeds outside when the weather is cool, place them under glass, giving them the warmth of the sun and protecting them from the wind. You can also start the seeds in your home or a greenhouse.
     If you’re planting inside, fill a 7.5-centimeter pot with soil. The pot should have holes in the bottom for water to run out. Tap the sides of the pot to settle the soil.
Drop several seeds onto the surface of the soil, and cover it with a thin layer of vermiculite (蛭石), which can hold air, water and nutrients. Then cover the pot with a see-through plastic bag and place it in a warm area.
When the chilies start growing, take off the bag. When the plants have grown to about two centimeters, place each one carefully in its own 7.5-centimeter pot.
 When roots start showing through the holes in the bottom of the pot, transplant each of them into a 12-centimeter pot. When the plants are twenty centimeters high, tie them to a stick placed in the pot to support them.
 At thirty centimeters, pinch off the tops of the chili peppers with your fingers to make new branches grow. When the first flowers show, give the plants some potash fertilizer, and if the weather is warm, put them into five-liter pots and place them outside. Make sure they get lots of light and water.
29. When the plants grow to two centimeters, you should ______.
A. take the plastic bag off the plant
B. place each of them into separate pots
C. tie them to sticks to support them
     D. transplant them into a 12-centimeter pot
30. The underlined expression “pinch off” in the last paragraph probably means “______”.
A. hold up B. break up   C. leave out D. take down
31. Based on this passage, how many times should you move a chili plant?
A. Once. B. Twice. C. Three times. D. Four times.
32. From the passage we can learn that ______.
     A. people who like eating chilies are energetic
B. the plants should be fertilized when they blossom
C. the pot has holes in the bottom to let the air in
D. it’s quite easy to grow your own chilies

At the age of 14, Hugh Evans spent a night with cockroaches（蟑螂）crawling all over him.
That experience turned out to be life-changing for Evans, now 30. Far removed from his comfortable home in Australia, he traveled to the Philippines with an aid organization that set him up with a host family. Their home was in Smokey Mountain, a teeming slum（贫民窟） in Manila.
A boy in the family, Sonny Boy, was the same age as Evans. The difference between their lives shocked him hard. “I believed that I wanted to commit my life to this,” said Evans. “I want to see an end to extreme poverty in my lifetime.”
It’s the same goal shared by global organizations and world leaders, and some great progress has been made in reducing the number of the world’s poorest. In 1981, about half the developing world lived in extreme poverty. By 2010, it had fallen to about 20 percent. The organization has set 2030 as the goal to reduce the rate even further, to 3 percent.
The gains worldwide are unbalanced. China and Southeast Asia have made huge progress in lifting their populations above that line. But the opposite is true in some areas in Africa. Even though economic growth is developing across the continent, the number of extremely poor people actually increased over the last three decades.
The organization’s campaign, “Live Below the Line”, hoped for an even greater effect by actually having people ea
