第二部分 阅读理解（满分45分）

1. :阅读理解（共20分；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

As any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more.

Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping(录像) the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger,

conversation gives way to the parents’ efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the children’s IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is.”

The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings(兄弟姐妹). Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “Middle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are that it’s the middle child.” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is a non-event.”

36. Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner because ______.

A. they are busy serving food to their children B. they are busy keeping order at the dinner table

C. they have to pay more attention to younger children

D. they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family

37. By saying “Middle children are invisible” in paragraph 3, Lewis means

that middle children ______.

第 3页 共 10页

A. have to help their parents to serve dinner B. get the least attention from the family C. are often kept away from the dinner table D. find it hard to keep up with other children

38. Lewis’ research provides an answer to the question ______.

A. why TV is important in family life B. why parents should keep good order

C. why children in small families seem to be quieter

D. why middle children seem to have more difficulties in life 39. Which of the following statements would the writer agree to?

A. It is important to have the right food for children. B. It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner.

C. Parents should talk to each of their children frequently. D. Elder children should help the younger ones at dinner. 40. The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to ______.

A. show the relationship between parents and children. B. teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner table. C. report on the findings of a study.

D. give information about family problems.

B

Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end with commercials(商业广告) thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste”, “Drink Good Wet Root Beer” “Fill up with Pacific Gas.” Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of “You Need It! Buy It Now!”

The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you have traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed，new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it is fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless (鲁莽的) or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you have got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.

The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there is a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you have sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the armrests even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at no more ways to sit.

41. According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus

trip?

A. Buses on the road. B. Films on television.

第 4页 共 10页

C. Advertisements on the billboards. D. Gas stations.

42. The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are

______

A. exciting B. comfortable C. tiring D. boring 43. The writer of this passage would probably be in favor of ______

A. bus drivers who aren’t reckless B. driving alone

C. a television set on the bus D .no billboards along the road 44. The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because ________

A. the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are fun B. they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in between C. the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on buses D. both traveling and watching TV are not exciting 45. What is the purpose of this passage?

A. To give the writer’s opinion about long bus trips. B. To persuade you to take a long bus trip.

C. To explain how bus trips and television shows differ. D. To describe the billboards along the road.

You wake up in the morning，the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time．Then the telephone rings，you say hello, and the drama starts．The person on the other end has a depressing(令人沮丧的) tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to．You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!

Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness．It may not change what you think，but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time．

Life brings ups and downs，but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer．They only feel glad when they make others feel bad．No wonder they can hardly win others’pity or respect．

第 6页 共 10页

When you communicate with positive people，your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted．When the dagger(匕首)of a negative person is put in you．you feel the heavy feeling that all in all，brings you down．

Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people．This could be a co-worker，or relative．In this case，say what needs to be said as little as possible． Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to a negative person，but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that．

Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized．The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附着)you throughout the rest of your day，which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness．Life is too short to feel negative．Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible．

51．The purpose of the first paragraph is to __________ ． A. make a comparison B. offer an evidence C. introduce a topic D. describe a daily scene 52．How can negative people have effect on us? A. By influencing our emotion． B. By telling US the nature of life． C. By changing our way of thinking．

D. By comparing their attitude to life with ours．

53．Some negative people base their happiness on _________ ． A. other people’s pity for them B. making other people unhappy C. building up a positive attitude D. other people’s respect for them

54．According to the passage, to reduce negative people’s influence on us，

we are advised _______ ．

A. to change negative people’s attitude to life B. to show our dissatisfaction to negative people

C. to make negative people feel ashamed of themselves D. to communicate with negative people as little as possible 55．What can we learn about negativity? A. Its effect can last．

B. Its effect can be completely avoided．

C. It hardly happens among family members．

D. Its effect is smaller than the effect created by a positive person．

写作 （sample writing） Dear Ms Black,

I learned from the ad that you are looking for some volunteers to take care of the aged people, and I am writing to apply for this chance.

I’ m a 16-year-old Senior Two student in Xinhua High School. And my home isn’t far away from Xinhua Nursing Home. With a cheerful and outgoing personality, I can get along well with aged people and make them happy. I am good at story-telling and even won a prize last semester. What’s more, I am also a good singer, which I think is of much help for this job. Besides that, I often went with my classmates to do some volunteering work , like looking after kids. Supported by my parents, I believe I can do this job perfectly during National Day.

Look forward to your speedy reply.

Yours sincerely, Li Hua
