第二部分 閱讀理解（共兩節(jié)，滿分40分）
第一節(jié)（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A
In 1986， when Monty Reed was a member of the Army Rangers （黑鷹突擊隊）， he had an accident. “It was a night jump， and we were jumping low，” he recalled. “We were training. Somebody got too close to my parachute （降落傘）.” The parachute below blocked Montys air and his parachute failed to open. Monty crashed a hundred feet to the ground， breaking his back in five places.
The next morning， Monty could not move. “Doctors said it was likely that I would never walk again.” Monty stared out of his hospital window， wondering what the future would be like. It was the saddest moment of his life. “The experts are telling me my body doesnt work！ What am I supposed to do？” he thought.
To distract himself， he picked up a book： Robert Heinleins Starship Troopers. The science-fiction describes a set of man-made muscles that would allow people to carry 2，000 pounds. He thought that if he could build something like that， it might be able to lift him out of his wheelchair. So he began his project and finally succeeded in building a set of robot legs. Several years later， he made an amazing recovery and was able to get up and walk away from his wheelchair. He even jumped out of an airplane again to celebrate.
Monty wanted to do something for others with the second chance that life had given him. He has now perfected the robot legs that can get the injured， the elderly and the paralyzed （癱瘓的） out of their wheelchairs. Now he has started his own company to make the legs. “Ive seen them compete in marathons and go swimming and mountain climbing，” he said. “So never give up！”
21. Why did Monty have an accident in 1986？
A. He was training to jump at night. B. His feet hit the ground too hard.
C. His parachute was under another persons. D. Another persons parachute stopped his from opening.
22. Why did Monty start to read Starship Troopers？
A. To create a new kind of wheelchair for himself. B. To discover how to make man-made muscles.
C. To stop himself from thinking about his pain. D. To learn how to jump out of an airplane.
23. What is Montys goal according to the last paragraph？
A. To compete in games. B. To return to the Army Rangers.
C. To become a famous writer like Robert Heinlein. D. To help more patients in wheelchairs to recover.
24. What can we learn about Monty？
A. He didnt lose heart in the face of difficulty. B. He spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
C. He didnt believe what the doctors said. D. He is fond of reading science-fiction.

Smiling
People smile at times. However， the meaning of a smile in different cultures may be different. Depending on different cultures， smiling can express joy and amusement， but it can also indicate embarrassment. The following examples show this point of view：
In an attempt to be open and friendly， people in the United States smile a lot. Everyone smiles at each other， and this nonverbal communication shows being friendly in the United States. However， in China， smiling is not only an expression of happiness， but also a way to avoid being embarrassed. Chinese people like smiling when they are embarrassed in order to avoid embarrassment. Smiling is a kind of good behavior but not sneer. For example， when a child falls off from a bike， the adults in China may smile， which is a kind of gentle encouragement and may not be a kind of impolite laugh.
When a person from the United States might blush （臉紅） with embarrassment or get angry， a Chinese might blush with smile. To avoid serious misunderstanding， people who engage in （致力于） intercultural communication should be able to understand the meaning of smiling properly. Related to the smile is the laugh. Also， different cultures have different meanings about laugh. For example， Americans can enjoy a very heartfelt stomach laugh that comes from the deepest emotions. However， most Chinese seldom laugh that way because they are thought to be foolish except among close friends.
25. What does the underlined word “sneer” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean？
A. Laugh in a loud voice. B. Show happiness on ones face.
C. Show shyness and embarrassment. D. Laugh at somebody by making jokes about him.
26. What can we infer from the last paragraph？
A. Smiling is related to laugh. B. People in China seldom laugh.
C. Americans seldom hide their true feelings. D. Chinese will blush when they are embarrassed.
27. What does the passage mainly talk about？
A. People smile at times.
B. Chinese people often hide their true feelings.
C. Americans are more open and friendly than Chinese people.
D. Smiling can express different feelings depending on different cultures.
C
Many people misunderstand what social skills are and what theyre not. Heres a quick look at a few common misunderstandings about what social skills really are.
Myth 1： People who like talking have good social skills. False. Talking a lot isnt a social skill. In fact， it can damage ones social popularity and result in avoidance by others. Such over-talkative individuals may be seen as self-centered as most of their talk is about themselves， their opinions， their activities， etc. These people show little respect for the listeners time and interests.
The number of words said does not necessarily show the ability to interact with others. People are interesting when they have something worthwhile to say and are able to engage in a discussion. Good social skills include the ability to carry on a conversation without controlling it and to encourage others to take an active part in it.
Myth 2： Introverts are socially unskilled. False. The elements of good social skills are the same for everyone. Both introverts and outgoing people can have excellent or poor social skills. Skills such as listening， remembering names， and giving polite feedback （反饋的意見） can be learned by an introvert or an extrovert.
Myth 3： A good education and hard work are all anyone needs to succeed in a career. Good social skills arent important. False. A good education and hard work are surely key factors （因素） that contribute to success. However， as the individual progress in his career， the manner in which he interacts with others plays an important role in determining the degree of success he achieves.
Myth 4： People with poor social skills are uncaring and cold-hearted. False. Individuals who have poor social skills may， in fact， be caring and interesting. Its unfortunate that their lack of social skills results in them being misunderstood. These individuals simply need guidance to know what to do and how to interact effectively in social situations.
So what are real social skills？ ...
28. What should we do to avoid Myth 1？
A. Avoid talking about ourselves. B. Get others involved in the talk.
C. Talk as little as possible. D. Make others talk first.
29. In Myth 2， the underlined word “Introverts” probably refers to people who ____ .
A. dont like talking with others B. show little respect for others
C. have good social skills D. are self-centered
30. People with poor social skills ____ .
A. are not interested in talking B. dont care about others
C. like doing things by themselves D. are usually misunderstood
31. What will be most probably talked about in the following paragraph？
A. How to develop good social skills. B. The advantages of good social skills.
C. Some examples of good social skills. D. How to teach children good social skills.
D
Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been charged with killing farm animals. They are officially considered harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.
Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of following a fox across the countryside， with a group of specially trained dogs， followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox， they kill it or a hunter shoots it.
People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport； they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers， and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive， so most hunters are wealthy.
It is estimated that up to 100，000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the past forty years the number of people against fox hunting， because they think it is cruel， has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation （沖突） between hunters and hunt saboteurs （阻攔者）. Sometimes these occurrences lead to violence （暴力）， but mostly saboteurs interrupt the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the track of the foxs smell， which the dogs follow.
Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labor Party Member of the Parliament， Mike Foster， is trying to get Parliament to pass a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed， wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.
32. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes ____ .
A. for amusement B. to limit the fox population
C. to show off their wealth D. for the interests of the farmers
33. What is special about fox hunting in Britain？
A. The hunters have set rules to follow. B. It involves the use of a deadly poison.
C. It is a costly event which rarely occurs. D. The hunters have to go through strict training.
34. A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to ____ .
A. stop hunting wild animals in the countryside B. prevent farmers from hunting foxes
C. prevent large-scale fox hunting D. forbid hunting foxes with dogs
35. What can be inferred from the passage？
A. Killing foxes with poison is illegal.
B. Limiting the fox population is unnecessary.
C. Hunting foxes with dogs is considered heartless and violent.
D. Fox-hunting often leads to confrontation between the poor and the rich.

36 But still there is a danger that grows every year. Airliners （客機） get larger. Some airplanes can hold over 300 passengers. And the air itself becomes more and more crowded. If one giant airliner crashed into another in mid-air， 600 lives could be lost.
37 Air traffic controllers tell the pilot exactly when to turn， when to climb， and when to come down. The air traffic controllers around a busy airport like London-Heathrow may handle 2，500 planes a day. Not all of them actually land at the airport. Any plane that flies near the airport comes under the orders of the controllers there. 38
Recently such a disaster almost happened. 39 One， with 69 passengers， had come from Toronto， and the other， with 176 passengers， from Chicago. An air traffic controller noticed on his radar screen that the two planes were too close to each other. He ordered one to turn to the right and to climb. But he made a mistake. He ordered the wrong plane to do this. Fifteen seconds later it flew directly in front of the second plane. They avoided each other by the smallest part of a second. The distance between them was less than that of a large swimming pool. 40
A. Two large jets were flying towards the airport.
B. This is an example of the danger that grows every year.
C. Nowadays people like traveling more by air than by car.
D. Even a small mistake on their part could cause a disaster.
E. Today， air travel is far safer than driving a car on a bus motor-way.
F. In a word， air travel seems more dangerous so many people prefer other means of traveling.
G. From the moment an airliner takes off to the moment it lands， every movement is watched on the radar screen.

Last summer， I went to work as a volunteer teacher in a small village， that is located in the south of our country. The children there were all from poorer families， so they didnt have nice clothes to wear or enough food eat. They had to do much housework as our parents had gone to work in cities to make the money. Although they live a hard life， they were eager to learn less about the outside world. When asking about their dreams， they said they hoped they could return to their small villages after graduating from college. Thus， they can make their hometown more beautifully.
