第二部分 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Raised in a fatherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe weather. If I grumbled, he’d say in his loudest father-voice, “That’s what your legs are for!”
The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.
It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.
A row of hedge（树篱）edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.
On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. “So! My son, it’s you!” he’d say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise.
I replied, “Yes, Dad, it’s me. I’m home.”
21. What does the underlined word “grumbled” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Accepted happily. B. Explained clearly.
C. Agreed willingly. D. Spoke unhappily.
22. What made the author feel upset was ______.
A. the tiredness after long hours in labs
B. the fear of seeing something moving
C. the feeling of being less than valued
D. the loneliness of riding the bus home
23. The author’s father watched behind the hedge because ______.
A. he was concerned about his son’s safety
B. he wanted to help his son build up courage
C. he didn’t want to meet his son at the doorway
D. he didn’t think his son was old enough to walk alone
24. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. My Father’s Secret. B. My College Life.
C. Terrible Journey Home. D. Riding Bus Alone.

B
I have been teaching animal behavior at the Boulder County Prison in Colorado for 10 years. The course is one of the most popular in the prison. Prisoners have to earn the right to attend the course and they work hard to get in.
One reason why the course is so popular is that many prisoners find it easier to connect with animals than with people, because animals don’t judge them. They trust animals in ways they don’t with humans.
Yet, they hold a misunderstanding of how animals treat one another. Many admit that their own “animal behavior” is what got them into trouble in the first place. I teach that though there is competition and aggression in the animal kingdom, there is also a lot of cooperation（合作）and sympathy.
Many of the students want to build healthy relationships, and they find that the class helps them. I use examples of the social behavior of group-living animals such as wolves as a model for developing and maintaining（维持）friendships among people who must work together for their own good and also for the good of the group.
It’s clear that science inspires the students here and it also gives them hope. I know some students have gone back into education after their being set free while others have gone to work for humane（人道）societies or contributed time and money to conservation organizations. One went on to receive a master’s degree in nature writing.
Science and humane education help the prisoners connect with values that they otherwise would not have done. It opens the door to understanding, trust, cooperation and hope. There’s a large population of people to whom science could mean a lot, if only they could have access to it. The class helps me, too. I get as much out of it as the students and it has made me a better teacher.
25. The author’s course is welcomed by the prisoners because ______.
A. they consider animals their best friends
B. they are curious about animal kingdom
C. they feel it easier to get along with animals
D. they are more familiar with animal behavior
26. The author used wolves as an example to ______.
A. provide the prisoners with more knowledge
B. explain the cruel side of group-living animals
C. help the prisoners realize the importance of teamwork
D. inform the prisoners that animals get people into trouble
27. We can infer from the text that some prisoners ______.
A. have turned over a new leaf
B. are required to attend the course
C. are willing to learn working skills
D. prefer humane education to science

C
Melbourne, Australia
Melbourne is a hot-spot travel destination, and it’s easy to see why with its beautiful beaches and busy city life.
Why it’s a great choice: Australia as a whole is considered a safe destination for international travel, and because of that, many solo travelers go there. As an English-speaking country, you won’t be faced with any language barriers. Melbourne is easy to get around because you can walk or bike practically anywhere!
Thailand 　
Thailand is great for solo travelers—perhaps because it is one of the Buddhist mindsets, which promote equality among the sexes.
Why it’s a great choice: Thailand is known for its friendly atmosphere, and as a travel hot-spot, there are plenty of chances to meet other like-minded travelers. Well known for being very cheap, especially in the north. A good choice if you want to get away on a budget. Thailand has a lot to offer, from the party-central Bangkok to beautiful beaches and tropical（热带）jungle.
Hong Kong, China
Hong Kong is a great place to relax for solo travelers as it is full of “Zen moments,” such as beautiful gardens and Tai Chi classes. 　
Why it’s a great choice: Hong Kong is regarded as one of the safest cities in the world. If you’re not well-traveled, or perhaps a bit tired of things like language barriers, Hong Kong is a great place to start, as it mixes both Eastern and Western at the same time.
Bali, Indonesia
Bali is a spiritual place with yoga, spas, healthy food and beaches. The combination of friendly people and splendidly visual culture has made Bali Indonesia number one tourist attraction. 　
Why it’s so great: You won’t be the only solo traveler in Bali. Everyone is known for being extremely friendly and you’re sure to meet some amazing characters along the way. As a Hindu island, Bali is the perfect place for a relaxing and spiritual retreat（静修）. The Sacred Monkey Forest in Ubud is fantastic—if you like monkeys, anyway.
28. What do the four places have in common according to the text?
A. They’re cheap to travel around.

C. They offer good spas and yoga.

Windows 8, apart from Windows 95, is the biggest surprise and the only version of Microsoft’s operating system that has been changed from the core（核心）when compared to its former one. However, a recent study has shown that under 20% of business owners would be willing to upgrade to the new version of Windows. The reason for this remains to be discussed and debated, and we will try to throw light on this research by providing you with some of the most common advantages and disadvantages of Windows 8.
Generally speaking, there are a great number of plus sides related to upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8.
Speed—This is the biggest advantage to mention. Boot time has been reported to be up to nine times shorter than that with Windows 7.
New passwords—Instead of typing your passwords, Windows 8 will let you use gestures on your favorite photos to enter your password. This is not only practical but also extremely cool!
Windows 8 experience—Apart from computers, Windows 8 will be used on all devices, including smart phones, tablet PC’s and so on. Also, owing to the fact that it has been specifically designed with touch screen users in mind, Windows 8, besides using keyboard and mouse, will offer a whole new user experience.
However, there are still some disadvantages.
The first one that has to be mentioned is that there is no Start Menu from Windows. Yes, there is no Start button in the lower left corner, and this might be a real puzzle of many Windows users. Also, many users have had a problem to get used to the new interface（界面）introduced by Windows 8. The biggest problem that is worth noticing is that Windows 8 was originally designed for touch screen users, and this may have a bad effect on desktop users who have gotten used to doing everything with the help of their keyboard and mouse.
32. What does “plus sides” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?
A. Math symbols. B. Strengths.
C. New rules. D. Messages.
33. According to the text the greatest advantage of Windows 8 is its ______.
A. complex passwords B. high speed
C. unique experience D. new interface
34. From the text we can learn that Windows 8 ______.
A. no longer requires a password B. was upgraded from windows 95
C. will be popular with desktop users D. can be used on more than computers
35. Many Windows 8 users face the problem that ______.
A. Start Menu is hidden in the lower left corner
B. they have to use fingerprints instead of button
C. keyboard and mouse can’t be used any longer
D. they don’t get accustomed to the new interface

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
You often find somebody who works around you complaining all the time, don’t you?
36 About 70% of Americans say being around nonstop complainers sometimes has a bad influence on them. Luckily, here are 4 tips to help form positive patterns.
1. Self-awareness
When a negative thought pops into your mind, immediately correct it. Instead of telling yourself “That’s a nice shirt, but I can’t afford it,” change the message to “That will look great with my black pants when I can afford it.” 37
Of course, everyone complains sometimes. But the less frequently you complain, the better you will feel.
2. Distance yourself
38 Excuse yourself and go somewhere quiet, somewhere outdoors in the fresh air. Think of something pleasant before returning. You have to take this seriously because negative people can and will pull you into the quicksand（困境）.
3. Don’t try to change complainers
If you find yourself trapped in a group of complainers in a meeting or at a social event, simply choose silence. Let their words bounce off you while you think of something else. Attempting to stop the complaining can make you a target. 39 If someone says, “I hate Mondays, weekends are too short,” try to think, “I’m glad I rested up over the weekend, so I’m ready to make some improvement on that big project.”
4. 40
When someone is shouting at you angrily, throw the responsibility back at them by asking, “So what do you intend to do about it?” In most cases, complainers don’t really want a solution. They just want to speak them out. If you make them aware that they themselves have to find the solutions, they will leave you alone and find someone else to complain to. If so, you will be happy.
A. Find solutions
B. Change responsibility
C. You have got a lot of company.
D. By doing this, it will lead to positive behaviors.
E. But you can redirect the discussion in your own mind.
F. Whenever possible, escape from negative conversations.
G. You will never know what they are going to talk about.

第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
As an old English saying goes, “honesty is the best policy”. It is more than an old cliché（陈词滥调）, but 61 good way to live your life.
First, honesty is the 62 (easy) choice that we can make. When people get caught in lies, it always costs them something. Many relationships are destroyed by lies.
Second, honesty gives us much 63 (free). Many people believe that being honest limits them in life, but that is not true. Sooner or later those dishonest people 64 (pay) a price for their acts; on the contrary, when we are honest, we are 65 (true) free.
If there were two people 66 (stand) before you, a person with a record of being honest and a person 67 is known to be dishonest, who would you be more likely
68 (believe)? I’m sure most people would side with the honest person. 69 we live in the truth or we live in lies. Truth sets us free and lies leave us in nothing but more troubles. Honesty is a choice that we make each day. The choice is 70 (you). What will you choose?

【参考范文】
Dear friends. Nowadays we can still see some behaviors against public morals. As is often the case, people tend to talk loud in public places, annoying others around. Spitting and littering rubbish can be seen everywhere. What’s more, it’s common that the young or middle-aged sit on the bus while the elderly stand.
Measures must be taken to change this situation. First of all, as students, we should manage our own behaviors and help people around us form good habits. Meanwhile, it is necessary for the government and authorized organizations to encourage people to behave properly.
Don’t underestimate the role you can play. Do remember, we can make a difference! Take action right now!
Thank you!
