第二部分：阅读理解(第一节20小题。第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分)
第一节：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，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
Several times on my way to work, I passed a gentleman who I supposed homeless. He had a lot of his possessions (私人商品) tied down to his bike and held a cardboard sign that said he was a vet who doesn’t drink or do drugs, but would appreciate anything that could be given. He usually has headphones on and is listening to the radio. He is always minding his own business, often reading as well. I’ve never seen him actively “ panhandling”.
Several times, while I was passing him, I realized I had some food with me, so I turned around and offered him that food. He took off his headphones, and said, “ Umm, blueberry muffins are my favourite!” with a big smile and a gleam in his eyes. He thanked me so warmly.
The graciousness(有礼貌) and humbleness（谦逊） of his receiving makes me want to continue to stop by with “surprises” of food, money or other gifts. In the past, I’ve met homeless folks who turned down the food I was offering, saying that they wanted only money instead.
So this wonderful gentleman being so open to receiving has been a blessing.
It also makes me think how open I am to receiving in my life --- am I humble and grateful when I am gifted with something? Sometimes yes, sometimes no, but rarely as gracious, humble and sincere as this wonderful man has been in receiving.
41. What did the author think of the gentleman as at first?
A. a businessman B. a gentleman C. a musician D. a beggar
42. The underlined word “panhandling” in the first paragraph might have the same meaning as “ ____________.”
A. begging B. stealing C. cooking D. working
43. What is the man mainly doing on the street every day?
A. Singing songs happily while listening to music
B. Waiting to receive offer to be given
C. Running his own successful belongings.
D. Showing off what he has got from others.
44. What is special about the man that the author describes?
A. He receives offers without feeling ashamed
B. He refuses to be given drinks or drugs
C. He likes blueberry muffins very much.
D. He tries his best to help others in need.

The high school prom is the first formal social event for most American teenagers. It has also been a ceremony of passage for young Americans for nearly a century.
The word “prom” was first used in the 1890s, referring to formal dances in which the guests of a party would display their fashions and dancing skills during the evening’s grand march. In the United States, parents and educators have come to regard the prom as an important lesson in social skills. Therefore, proms have been held every year in high schools for students to learn proper social behavior.
The first high school proms were held in the 1920s in America. By the 1930s, proms were common across the country. For many older Americans, the prom was a modest, home-grown affair in the school gymnasium. Prom-goers were well dressed but not fancily dressed up for the occasion: boys wore jackets and ties and girls their Sunday dresses. Couples danced to music provided by a local music band or a record player. After the 1960s, and especially since the 1980s, the high school prom in many areas has become a serious exercise in too much consumption, with boys renting expensive tuxedos(男士无尾半正式晚礼服) and girls wearing designer gowns. Expensive cars were hired to drive the prom-goers to expensive restaurants or discos for an all-night entertainment.
Whether simple or abundant, proms have always been more or less unpleasant events for adolescents who worry about self-image and fitting in with their fellow teenagers. Prom night can be a dreadful experience for teens who are not good at social skills or for those who do not secure dates. Since the 1990s, alternative proms have been organized in some areas to meet the needs of particular students. For example, proms organized by and for homeless youth were reported. There were also “couple-free” proms to which all students are welcome.
49. In what way are high school proms significant to American teenagers?
A. They are part of the graduation ceremony.
B. They are occasions for teens to show off their expensive cars.
C. They are important events for teenagers to learn social skills.
D. They are formal events in which teens share their unpleasant experiences.
50. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. Proper social behavior must be observed by prom-goers.
B. Proms held in earlier times gave less pressure to teenagers.
C. Proms are regarded as important because everyone dresses up for the occasion.
D. The prom has changed from a modest event to a more attractive party over the years.
51. According to the passage, what gave rise to alternative proms?
A. Not all students behaved well at the proms.
B. Proms were too serious for young prom-goers.
C. Teenagers wanted to attend proms with their dates.
D. Students with special needs did not enjoy traditional proms.
52. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Unconventional proms have been organized since the 1960s.
B. In the 1980s, proms were held in local churches for teenagers to attend.
C. Proms have become a significant event in American high schools since the 1930s.
D. In the 1890s, high school proms were all-night social events for
