第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)
第一节 (共10小题:每小题2.5分，满分25分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
Stop in for lunch at Drexell Honeybee's 15-table restaurant and you'll find a menu filled with down-home cooking:
beef and potatoes, chicken and dumplings, and mac and cheese. What you won’t find on the menu: prices. At Drexell&
Honeybee’s, customers pay what they want--or what they can. They leave their money in a donation(捐助)box near
the door. The box is behind a screen (屏幕)that separates it from the rest of the room, so if you can’t pay for your meal
today --as many people in this poor town often can't---nobody will know, and, more importantly, nobody will judge.
How much a customer pays may be different, but it almost always comes with thanks. “Today I wasn’t able to eat and
you guys helped me,” one customer wrote in a thank-you note. “Thank you for bringing blessing (福祉) to this town and
me.” Inside the note were twenty cents.
“We want to be that beacon of light to someone in need,” says Lisa Thomas- McMillan, who opened the restaurant
with her husband, Freddie McMillan, last year. “We might not be able to pull it all out, but we're going to try to help you
in some kind of way.”
The entire town of Brewton has rallied behind them. Locals bring in homegrown vegetables, and two farmers keep
separate gardens just for the restaurant. A 15-year-old boy even tried donating his prizewinning pig. Thomas-McMillan
couldn't accept it (the pig hadn’t been examined by the United States Department of Agiculture). The boy sold the pig and
put the $457 he made right in Drexell Honeybee's donation box.
21. The McMillans opened the restaurant to__________.
A. help those in need B. donate money for the town
C. give thanks to locals D. advertise down-home cooking
22. Why is the donation box behind a screen?
A. To make the box noticeable. B To leave the box in a safe place.
C. To save some customers' face. D. To know how much customers pay
23. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. The restaurant owners have refused the locals' help
B. The whole town has supported the restaurant owners
C. The restaurant owners couldn't satisfy the whole town
D. The whole town has competed with the restaurant owners.
24. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A. A Donation Box B. A Bill of Good
C. A note of Thanks D. A local Restaurant

According to a new study, running 50 minutes a week, at a pace between a 10-and 7.5-minute mile, helped lower the
risk of death from cancer, cardiovascular disease and other causes. Working out more than that didn’t mean more health
benefits (益处), say the researchers, based on a review of a number of studies.
Because running is a popular form of physical activity, study coauthor Zeljko Pedisic and his workmates chose to take
a bird's eye view of what past studies of running and the risk of death had concluded. The team collected 14 papers that
collectively studied over 230,000people for the effects of running on cardiovascular disease, cancer and other causes of
death. Most participants(参与者) were from U.S. and European populations.
Pooling the results from these 14 studes showed that running led to lowering the risk of cancer-related death by 23%, the
risk of cardiovascular-related death by 30%, and the risk of death from all other causes by 27%. Those benefits appeared
even when people ran relatively slowly and for under an hour a week--less time than the World Health Organization recently.
There are some warnings to the research, though. Among other things, possibly these benefits were found because all
the 14 studies of running and the cause of death only included healthy people from the get-go, the authors write. Also, only
two of the papers recorded how people’s running habits changed over the years, and how often people ran was self-reported
in other papers.
Though the results suggest that people might need less of a workout than the WHO might suggest, that doesn’t mean it's
time to change those standards, Pedisic says. There are several other health factors that need to be examined besides the
risk of death, he says, and people need other ways to get fit, too.
25. What's the new study mainly about?
A. Running as slowly as possible could keep you healthy.
B. Running led to lower risks of death than other activities.
C. Running more than 50 minutes a week was bad for health.
D. Running for less than an hour a week could lower risks of death.
26. It can be learnt from the 14 studies that__________.
A. 12 of the studies self-reported how often people ran
B. most of the studies recorded people's running habits
C. only people from America and Europe were included
D. running lowered the risk of death from cancer by 30%
27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. People should run more than what the WHO advises.
B. The WHO needs to change its standards for running.
C. The new study results need to be further proved
D. Running is one of the best ways to keep fit.
C
This is a common situation for beginner-level language learners---they want to read classic (经典的 )books, but what
their language skills allow are usually little more than children's books.
Oxford University Press tried to solve this problem back in 1988 by designing a series of graded English reading
materials known as the Oxford Bookworms Library. It now has a collection of over 200 books---many of them simplified
versions of classics---which fall into seven difficulty levels from "starter level" to level six.
However, there has always been a debate over whether shortened versions of classics have less value. Some worry
that by reading them, students don’t get to learn the essence of the orginal (原版的)text.
Rob Waring, a Japanese professor, mentions one of his students, Satoko, as an example in his booklet The "Why" and
"How"of Using Graded Readers. Satoko was a Japanese student majoring in English. But by the time she graduated, she
had only managed to finish reading just one English book because it was far beyond her language level. " For Satoko,
reading in English was a fight; a fight that she lost, "wrote Waring, who suggested that reading easy texts is necessary
because it helps language learners build up confidence and fluency in reading. By reading a lot--rather than getting stuck in
one book --they can get used to kinds of English expressions and writing styles. Only by doing this can they reach what
Waring calls the"reading-with-ideas"level of reading.
So it doesn’t matter if the books are original classics or not--for beginner--level language learners, the simple act of
reading is a form of learning in itself. “Stories offer a window to other cultures, other worlds, real or imagined, beyond the
classroom,” Jennifer Basset, the first editor of the Oxford Bookworms Library, said in an interview with GetEnglishLessons.
28. Why did Oxford University Press design the Oxford Bookworms Library?
A. To attract as many English learners as possible
B. To allow English beginners to read classic books
C To make classics popular with more English learners
D. To help English beginners improve their language skills
29. From paragraph 4, Rob Waring points out that__________.
A. language learners are expected to read a lot
B. language learners don't need to read easy texts
C. reading a lot can build up language learners'confidence
D. reading easy texts can give language learners more ideas
30. What is the writer’s attitude to shortened books?
A. Doubtful. B Unclear. C. Unconcerned. D Supportive.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
“Click!” That’s the sound of a seat belt(安全带) locking in place. ___31___So I don’t drive anywhere until I wear
it. Choosing to wear your seat belt is as simple as choosing between life and death. Which one do you choose?
Think about it. When you are driving in a car, you may be going 60 MPH or faster. Then somebody ahead of you locks
up his or her brakes. Your car, which was going 60 MPH, has now suddenly stopped. Your body, however, is still going
60 MPH.___32___ will it be the windshield(挡风玻璃) or your seat belt? I choose the seat belt.
___33___ They think that seat belts don’t allow them much space to move freely in the car. To them, what's more
uncomfortable? Wearing a seat belt or flying through a car windshield?
Let’s just take a closer look at your choices. If you are not wearing your seat belt, you can hop around the car and slide
in and out of your seat easily. You are more likely to die or suffer serious injuries. ___34___ That means you are
much more likely to walk away unharmed from a car accident.
Wearing a seat belt does not always ensure your safety. You can still get hurt or killed while wearing seat
belts. ___35___.You are much less likely to get seriously injured or killed in a car accident. So why not take the
safer way?
A. What's going to stop your body?
B. Seat belts save lives and that's a fact.
C. Some people forget to wear seat belts.
D. Some people think that seat belts are uncomfortable.
E. If you are wearing a seat belt, you have to stay in your seat.
F. If you don’t have a seat belt on, the police can give you a ticket.
G. But wearing them has proven to be safer than driving without them.
