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。
A
A rising population is one of the main reasons that there is global warming. Between
1650 and 1850 the population increased by 0.75 billion people going from 0.25 billion to one billion. From 1930 to the end of the century the population rose from two billion to over six
billion. In just a third of the time the population rose by more than five times what it did before. It is expected that this trend in the changing population will continue and could even heighten. The growing population requires increasing amounts of energy. These energy demands and other supplies require production, which almost always involves the emission of greenhouse gases. The more the population increases the more greenhouse gases that are produced and the greater the increase in temperature.
The burning of fossil fuels is one of the best-known causes for global warming. The
major reason for fossil fuels contributing so much to global warming is the release of carbon that occurs during the burning of fossil fuels. When people burn fossil fuels, they release large amounts of carbon by way of the release of carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide in the air then leads to global warming.
Another source of carbon dioxide comes from deforestation. In forests there is a large
amount of carbon that is stored in the trees and other plants. This carbon is out of the atmosphere because the trees consume the carbon from carbon dioxide. When people cut down trees, they are frequently burned. This burning releases the carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that was stored in organic matter. Even when new trees are planted, it can take up to one hundred years to make up for the carbon that was released. It is commonly thought that because trees absorb more carbon dioxide, the atmosphere experiences positive effects.
Sophie Armstrong, the writer of Earth Care put it, “There’s no doubt that the earth is
becoming warmer because of human activity rather than a random but natural phenomenon. 21. Which of the following titles goes with the text？
A. A Rising Population B. Saving
Sources of Energy
C. Global warming：The causes

22. The underlined word “deforestation” means .

B. burning of fossil fuels
D. cutting down
or burning trees.
23. To sum up from the passage, it is that has caused global warming.
A. human activity C. natural forces
B. sources of energy D. the polluted
atmosphere
24. Which column of a website might the passage come from？
A. Economy.
B. Art
B

We have all experienced days when everything goes wrong. A day may begin well
enough, but suddenly everything seems to get out of control. What happens is that a great number of things choose to go wrong at exactly the same moment. It is as if a single unimportant event set up a chain of reactions. Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same time. The telephone rings and this marks the prelude （前奏） to an unforeseen series of catastrophes. While you are on the phone, the baby pulls the tablecloth off the table, smashing half your best pottery and cutting himself in the process. You hang up hurriedly and attend to baby, pottery, etc. Meanwhile, the meal gets
burnt. As if this were not enough to reduce you to tears, your husband arrives, unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner.
Things can go wrong on a big scale, as a number of people recently discovered in
Parramatta, a suburb of Sydney. During the rush hour one evening two cars collided （猛撞） and both drivers began to argue. The woman immediately behind the two cars happened to be a learner. She suddenly got into a panic and stopped her car. This made the driver following her brake hard. His wife was sitting beside him holding a large cake. As she was thrown forward, the cake went right through the windscreen and landed on the road. Seeing a cake flying through the air, a lorry driver who was drawing up alongside the car, stopped all of a sudden. The lorry was loaded with empty beer bottles and hundreds of them slid off the back of the vehicle and on to the road. This led to yet another angry argument. Meanwhile, the traffic piled up behind. It took the police nearly an hour to get the traffic on the move again. In the meantime, the lorry driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles. Only two dogs benefited from all this confusion, for they greedily ate what was left of the cake. It was just one of those days!
28. What would have most upset the woman the day everything went wrong for her？
29. What might have prevented a chain reaction following the beginning collision？
A. She had not expected her husband to arrive so early. B. The meal she had cooked for the three guests had got burnt. C. Her husband had not told her he was bringing anyone to dinner. D. She had not got enough pottery left to serve the meal with.
A. If the two drivers who had collided had not begun to argue. B. Had there been a more experienced driver behind the two cars. C. If, instead of panicing, the woman had made no attempt to stop.
D. Had the wife of the man who braked not thrown a cake through the window.
30. There was a second angry argument because .
A. the lorry driver blamed the owner of the cake for his accident B. the traffic was extremely slow to get on the move again.
C. the lorry driver did not think he should be made to sweep up the glass. D. two dogs had eaten what was left of the cake.
31. Which of the following sayings matches the situations in the passage？
A. Practice makes perfect.
B. While there is life, there is hope. C. He who laughs last laughs best. D. Misfortunes never come singly.
D
That \"Monday morning feeling\" could bea crushing pain in the chest which leaves you
sweating and gasping for breath.
Recent research from Germany and Italy shows that heart attacks are more common on
Monday mornings and doctors blame the stress of returning to work after the weekend break.
The risk of having a heart attack on any given day should be one in seven, but a six-year
study helped by researchers at the Free University of Berlin of more than 2,600 Germans
showed that the average person had a 20 percent higher chance of having a heart attack on a Monday than on any other day.
Working Germans are particularly not protected against attack, with a 33 percent higher
risk at the beginning of the working week. Non-workers, by comparison, appear to be no more at risk on a Monday than any other day.
A study of 11,000 Italians proved 8 a.m. on a Monday morning as the most stressful time
for the heart, and both studies showed that Sunday is the least stressful day, with fewest heart attacks in both countries.
The finding could lead to a better understanding of what is the immediate cause of
heart attacks, according to Dr. Stefan Willich of the Free University. \"We know a lot about long-term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol （胆固醇） but we don't know what actually causes heart attacks, so we can't give clear advice on how to prevent them.\" he said.
Monday mornings have a double helping of stress for the working body as it makes a
rapid change from sleep to activity, and from the relaxing weekend to the pressure of work.
\"When people get up, their blood pressure and heart rate go up and there are hormonal
（内分泌） changes in their bodies.\" Willich explained. \"All these things can have an unfavorable effect in the blood system and increase the risk of a clot （血凝块） which will cause a heart attack.\"
\"When people return to work after a weekend off, the pace of their life changes. They
have a higher workload, more stress, more anger and more physical activities.\" said Willich. 32. \"Monday morning feeling\
A. is not as serious as people thought
B. is the first killer in Germany and Italy
C. is harmful to working people in developed countries D.is created by researchers in Germany and Italy
33. To protect people from a heart attack, doctors have paid much attention to
A. people's working time C. people's nationalities
B. people's living place
D. people's lifestyle
34. What does the underlined word \"break\" mean in the passage？ play
35. It can be learned from this passage that the heart attack has something to do with all the following EXCEPT type

C. freedom
D.
nothing but tiredness？ You’re doing it wrong. Remember：Learning is an art as well as a science. Then how can we learn more efficiently？ Below are some tips about the science of successful learning. 36 Pull up a seat, and start taking notes.
1. 37 Handwriting is slow, so you have to think harder about the material to distill （提取） it. It might seem painful to put pen to paper, but you’ll save study time in the end.
2. Don’t study without practice. 38 The constant repetition of remembering something is not efficient. Searching your brain for what you’re trying to remember keeps things fresher. Experiments showed those who took a test did better on a subsequent test than those who studied. It’s not just about remembering information, but using the brain muscles to practice retrieving （恢复） the information too. That’s what a test requires of us.
3. Sleep on it. Maybe you are accustomed to staying late before a test. But if you want to keep some information for long, plan your sleep time. Your brain needs time to catch up and process all you’ve stuffed （塞满） in there. 39
4. Test yourself. 40 This goes back to tip No. 2—finding ways to pull things from your mind. Plus, this way, you’ll learn what you need to work on.
A. Sleep usually contributes to it.
B. Take practice tests repeatedly as you study. C. Surely, you’ll benefit from them. D. Relaxing helps long-term memory. E. Take those notes by hand.
F. The best way to learn is to know it by heart. G. Stop re-reading the same passage 20 times.

书面表达：
Health Is Wealth
Most people try to get fame and wealth but give up their health without hesitation.
However, they don’t realize that the biggest wealth is health.
As Chairman Mao put it, “Health is the capital of revolution.” Only when having health
can we get happiness and enjoy success. Cao Xueqin is a profound lesson for us. He ignored his health when he was writing “A Dream In Red Mansions”. Thus, he had died before he could complete the book.
I will conclude by saying that health is wealth and that while there is health, there is
hope. Please lead a healthy life.

When I was in middle school, my dream was to be a pilot. But my eyesight wasn’t
good enough, so I had to give up that idea. I went to university and studied physics. I wanted to stay on there and do research, but my father died about that time, so I thought I had better get a job and earn my living. I started working in an engineering firm. But then, they appointed a new managing director. I didn’t get on well with him, so I left that company. One day I met a friend who was working for a travel agency. He offered me a job in Spain. I worked there in a travel agency for two years and then they wanted to send me to South America but I had just got married, so I decided to stay here. Then we had a baby and I wasn’t earning enough to support the family. So I started giving English lessons at a school in the evening. I liked English teaching more than working for the travel agency. Then the owner of the school wanted to retire, so he asked me to take over as the director, and here I am now.
