其次部分 阅读理解（共两节 满分40分）

第一节 （共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下面四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
A
When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight to the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.
　　“Storm chasing ” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby , especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.
　　Although anyone can do it , storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm season.
　　Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement. “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”
　　However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,” says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of nature, It is the greatest show on earth.”
46. For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to ____ .
　　A. head straight for the center of the storm
　　B. get into the car for safety
　　C. wait patiently for the storm to develop
D. collect information about a coming storm
47. Beginners of storm chasing are advised ______ .
　　A. not to drive in a heavy rain
　　B. to do it in an organized way
　　C. not to get too close to a storm
　　D. to spend more time on it in summer
48. By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph, the author means that _____ .
　　A. storm chasing costs a lot of money
　　B. storm chasing is worth hours of waiting
　　C. efforts in storm chasing are well paid
　　D. a storm presents the greatest show on earth
49. What can we learn from the text?
　　A. Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment
　　B. Many storm chasers get killed in the storms.
　　C. Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world.
　　D. Storm chasing is only fit for young people.
B
It is common to have difficulties sleeping during the day. Humans are naturally wired to sleep best at night and be awake during the day. However, modern work schedules require some people to try to accommodate the unnatural schedule of shift(轮班)work — being awake at night and sleeping during the day.
　　In order to make this adjustment, you need to pay special attention to your sleep environment and your preparation for sleep. If shift work is a necessary part of your work life, here are some suggestions that may help.
　　Arrange to sleep uninterrupted in a quiet, dark room. This means you may have to turn off or unplug your phone, hang darkening curtains on the windows or wear a sleep eye mask, and train your family and friends to leave you alone while you sleep.
　　Fit in a nap(小睡). When your daytime sleep period is too short, taking a short nap of less than 30 minutes just before work or on a break has been shown to improve alertness and enhance performance.
　　Develop and follow a sleep routine. It's best if you go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day. Try not to vary this too much at weekends. Your body likes routine.
　　Take extra care to make healthy choices. You may be tempted to reach for unhealthy foods or nicotine to stay awake or alcohol to try to sleep. But ultimately these choices are more harmful than helpful.
　　If you have tried all these things and are still having problems getting enough quality sleep during the day, talk to your doctor or a sleep specialist. Sometimes medications(药物治疗)may be helpful and safe. In other cases, there may be an underlying sleep disorder that needs to be addressed.
50. The purpose of the text is to ______ .
　A. persuade workers to have a good sleep.
　B. advise night workers to keep healthy
　C. encourage workers to do day work
　D. help night workers to sleep well
51. What does the author recommend?
　A. A suitable amount of alcohol to help sleep.
　B. A regular life on weekdays and weekends.
　C. A dark room without phones to sleep in.
　　 D. A break for sleeping anytime during the day.
　　52. On which condition should a person turn to a sleep specialist for help?
　　 A. If he suffers from a sleep disorder for the first time.
　　 B. If a good sleep environment is greatly needed for him.
　　 C. If he fails to get quality sleep through his own efforts.
　　 D. If he has the problem of falling asleep in the daytime.
　　53. We can learn from the test that _____ .
　　 A. night workers need a long time to fall asleep
　　 B. constant breaks at work help to improve performance
　　 C. it is difficult to create a good sleep environment
　　 D. night work requires people to adjust their body clocks
C
The world economy has run into a brick wall. Despite countless warnings in recent years about the need to address a potential hunger crisis in poor countries and an energy crisis worldwide, world leaders failed to think ahead. The result is a global food crisis. Wheat, corn and rice prices have more than doubled in the past two years. And oil prices have increased more than three times since the start of 2004.These food-price increases, combined with increasing energy costs, will slow if not stop economic growth in many parts of the world and will even affect political stability. Practical solutions to these problems do exist, but we’ll have to start thinking ahead and acting globally.
　　Here are three steps to ease the current food crisis and avoid the potential for a global crisis. The first is to promote the dramatic success of Malawi, a country in southern Africa, which three years ago established a special fund to help its farmers get fertilizer and seeds with high productivity. Malawi’s harvest doubled after just one year. An international fund based on the Malawi model would cost a mere $10 per person annually in the rich world, or $10 billion altogether.
Second, the U.S. and Europe should abandon their policies of paying partly for the change of food into biofuels. The U.S. government gives farmers a taxpayer-financed payment of 51 cents per gallon of ethanol(乙醇) changed from corn. There may be a case for biofuels produced on lands that do not produce foods but tree crops, grass and wood products, but there’s no case for the government to pay to put the world’s dinner into the gas tank.
　　Third, we urgently need to weather-proof the world’s crops as soon and as effectively as possible. For a poor farmer, sometimes something as simple as a farm pond—which collects rainwater to be used in dry weather—can make the difference between a good harvest and a bad one. The world has already committed to establishing a Climate Adaptation Fund to help poor regions climate-proof vital economic activities such as food production and health care but has not yet acted upon the promise.
54. An international fund based on the Malawi model would _____ .
　A. cost each of the developed countries $10 billion per year
　　B. aim to double the harvest in southern African countries in a year
　　C. decrease the food prices as well as the energy prices
　　D. give poor farmers access to fertilizer and highly productive seeds
55. With the second step, the author expresses the idea that ______ .
　 A. it is not wise to change food crops into gas
　 B. it is misleading to put tree crops into the gas tank
　 C. we should get alternative forms of fuel in any way
　 D. biofuels should be developed on a large scale
56. In the passage, the author calls on us to _______ .
　 A. slow down but not to stop economic growth
　 B. develop tree crops, grass and wood products
　 C. achieve economic growth and political stability
　 D. act now so as to relieve the global food shortage
