其次部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，其次节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）
第一节：阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将选项标号涂黑。
A
Parents all struggle to get children to understand that money doesn’t grow on trees, wanting them to be responsible, work hard and learn to save a few bucks. But these lessons are among the most difficult to teach.
Enter KidZania, an internationally praised and truly unique children’s theme park, which makes life a little easier for parents. KidZania is not a traditional theme park in almost any sense of the world---there are no roller coasters or merry–go-rounds in sight. There are, however, plenty of attractions and activities that will keep children busy, active, engaged and excited all day.
What makes it so much fun is that it is a kid-sized city---complete with restaurants, banks, grocery stores and hospitals---where the kids get to be adults, doing the things most of us do on any normal day. They start by picking one of nearly 100 “careers” and learning about it. Then, they put on their uniform and are ready to work and earn KidZania dollars (Kidzos). Most activities are universal but some are localized to reflect distinct flavors ad personality of the country and region where the park is located and to keep it real for the kids. Kids get paid for every job they do, which helps them explore the mysteries of managing money. Kidzos in hand, they can spend it or save it. If they run short of money, they’ll have to find a way to earn some.
Each KIdZania city is planned in amazing detail, even including real world brands that help sponsor the city and keep it running. I was a little cautious of all the popular corporate logos, but the brands weren’t pushed at all. They are there to reinforce(加强) the “real city” feeling by mixing it with things kids recognize.
KidNania employs senior citizens who give the park a homey feel and help put children at ease. Management also employs the disabled, whether blind, deaf or wheel-bound. Besides making for a more realistic city, this teaches children about those with different abilities and gives them an opportunity to spend time with people they might otherwise have stared at or treated less than kindly.
Socialization is an important part of KidZania, just as it is throughout childhood. The KidZania experience empowers kids, giving them the confidence to be their best selves, and the inspiration to be great global citizens. And it’s part of what makes KidZania such an amazing place for families and children.
41. KidZania is unique in that _____.
A. it has no entertainment facilities.
B. it includes lots of localized activities
C. it offers kids chances to learn through working
D. it employs many seniors and disabled people
42. What does the author think of it when the real world brands are included in KidZania?
A. He doesn’t think it proper to have them in the park.
B. He thinks it helpful for running the park.
C. He thinks kids can learn nothing without them.
D. He thinks it may have a bad effect on kids.
43. Children’s theme park KidZania is set up to _____.
A. prepare them to be good citizens in the future
B. provide them with a place to have a good time
C. make them aware of their parents’ hardship
D. assist them in building a good relationship with parents
44. The word “empower” in the last paragraph is closet in meaning to _____.
A. control B. enable C. impress D. promise
45. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Children do part-time jobs at theme park.
B. A theme park pushes kids to be grown-ups.
C. KidZania theme park makes children’s life easier.
D. Kids get to “be” adults at KidZania theme park.
B
Below is a selection of 6 scientists who did research.
Isaac Newton stuck a needle in his eye. Though best known for discovering the laws of gravitation, Newton did pioneering research in optics（光学）. He experimented with prism（棱镜）, but that didn’t reveal much about the eye’s structure or how it senses color. To learn more, the unusual physicist took a type of needle known with a sharp tip and , he wrote, “put it between my eye and the bone as near to the backside of my eye as I could.”
Nicolae Minovici hanged himself. Nicolae Minovici performed a series of experiments in which he allowed himself to be choked by ropes. Though his feet reportedly never left the ground, he experienced a burning pain in his neck and signaled to be lowered. He had trouble swallowing for an entire month.
Franz Reichelt tested his parachute（降落伞） by jumping from the Eiffel Tower. On Feb 4, 1912, an Austrian-born tailor named Franz Reichelt tested his “parachute suit”---an airman’s suit designed to function as a parachute in the event of an emergency. Alas, the chute failed to open up, which contributed to his death. The event was recorded in still photos as well as in the grainy video below.
Werner Forssmann stuck a plastic tube in his own heart. In the early part of the last century, it was believed that inserting something into a beating heart would be deadly. Werner Forssmann thought otherwise. So one day in 1929, he put a tube into his heart. Fortunately, he survived the daring experiment but lost his job. But his fearlessness was rewarded when he won a Nobel Prize in 1956.
Frederick Hoelzel ate glass. And not just glass. During the 1920s and 1930s, University of Chicago researcher Frederick Hoelzel reportedly swallowed grain glass, ball bearings, thread, wire, and other non-food items in order to show how long it would take the items to pass through his guts（肠子）. Despite his risky research, Hoelzel lived into an old age.
Barry Marshall drank bacteria-loaded soup. For many years doctors had only an unclear idea about the cause of stomach illness. So he decided to be his own pig, taking germs（细菌） from an infected patient, mixing them in a solution, and drinking it. A few days later, after experiencing a period of throwing up and tiredness, he examined his own gut--- and proved the link between the germs and illness. For his daring experiment he won a Nobel Prize in 2005.
46. Which of the following scientist’s research certainly was recorded by video?
A. Newton B. Minovici C. Hoelzel D. Reichelt
47. Why did Werner Forssmann and Barry Marshall win the Nobel Prize?
A. The two scientists were expert in surgery operations.
B. Both discovered the links between germs and disease.
C. They made significant breakthroughs in medical research.
D. Each of them conducted the same experiment separately.
48. Which of the following statement about the scientists is TRUE?
A. The laws of gravitation is Newton’s only important discovery.
B. Minovici’s experiments made it impossible for him to swallow.
C. Hoelzel died early because of the non-food items he swallowed.
D. Forssmann’s fearlessness contributed a lot to his achievement.
49. The greatest difference of the 6 scientists from the majority of other scientists is that ______.
A. they devoted their time to scientific research
B. they would risk their lives for experiments
C. they were greatly enthusiastic about science
D. they made their great contributions to science
C
Middle school is typically a time of chaotic emotions, confusing relationships and challenging growing pains. But it may also have a surprisingly lasting influence on the future.
In a study published in Child Development, researchers found that adolescents who were best able to handle relationship and make sound behavior choices were most likely to be rated by their parents as successful both socially and professionally when they became young adults. “We tend to think that peer relationships in early adolescence don’t mean that much, but that tends to be deadly wrong,” says Allen, a professor of psychology at the University of Virginia. “How well you do with peers as an early teen tells us a whole lot about how you manage in a lot of different ways as an adult.”
Allen and his colleagues followed 184 youths from a public middle school in the Southeast, which included kids from both urban and suburban neighborhoods. They interviewed the teens’ parents as well as their closest friends, starting when the participants were around 13. The research followed up again when they were ages 20 to 23. “What we’re finding is that the path is not straightforward---it is more like a tightrope walk between trying to connect well with peers on one side and avoiding getting swept up into peer influences toward abnormal behavior on the other.” Says Allen. Indeed, the study showed that teens who best prevented peer pressure during junior high were less likely to involve in criminal behavior or to have alcohol or
