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

I lost both of my parents in a tragic car accident when I was five. Fortunately, at that age a child doesn’t understand the finality of such an event.

Many years later, at the age of twenty-three, I was planning my wedding to Sheldon, who came from a complete loving family, the type I expect. Sheldon and I had already bought our first home with a large, beautifully landscaped yard. As the date grew closer and we took ownership of the home, we began to clean, arrange inside and out.

The day before our wedding we were putting the final touches to the yard. We were so pleased with the neatness of it all. But one plant puzzled us. A rosebush located just outside our front door, was completely barren of leaves or buds. It looked liked it might be dead, but since neither of us could be sure, we reluctantly decided to keep it for the time being.

That same evening, after the dinner, I was too excited to sleep. Instead I decided I needed some quiet time to reflect on the wedding the next day. I went to the backyard and sat in the warm, clear, star-filled night. It was there that I realized the only thing missing from my wedding day would be my parents. There had been no time to think of this until now and the thought filled me with sadness. After all, every girl dreams of having her father walk her down the aisle and her mother there to comfort her anxiety. Alone in the yard, I began speaking to my mom and dad, just as if I had known they were listening.

“Give me a sign on my wedding day to let me know you’re with me.”

The next day Sheldon’s excited voice repeatedly called my name. I rushed to join him at the front door.

“I can’t believe what I’m about to show you!”

He stood aside. The barren rosebush had two huge roses in full bloom.

There was no doubt in my mind that we were witnessing a miracle…a miracle of love.

21. What does the underlined word “touches” in the third paragraph mean?

A. Small details. B. Strong feelings. C. Close connection. D. Enormous pressure.

22. According to the passage, why did the rosebush confuse the writer?

A. Because it was difficult to take care of.

B. Because it had a sign of dying away.

C. Because it grew in a wrong place.

D. Because its leaves were always falling.

23. The writer came to the yard that night to __________.

A. relieve her pressure of life

B. pray for her parents

C. see whether the rose grew

D. think about her wedding carefully

24. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.

A. the writer was experienced in managing a yard

B. the writer and her fiancé kept the rosebush immediately they saw it

C. the writer could celebrate her wedding outdoors

D. the writer was full of pity without her parents’ attending her wedding

B

The English expect each other to observe the rules of queuing, feel highly offended when these rules are broken, but lack the confidence or social skills to express their annoyance in a straightforward manner. In other countries, this is not a problem: in America, where a queue-jumper has committed a kind of rudeness rather than a sin, the response is a loud warning: the offender is simply told “Hey, you, get back in line!” or words to that effect. On the European continent, the reaction tends to be loud and argumentative; in some other parts of the world, queue-jumpers may simply be pushed back into line. Ironically (具有讽刺意义的是), it is only in England, where queue-jumping is regarded as deeply immoral, that the queue-jumper is likely to get away with the offence. Only rarely do the English actually speak up and tell the jumper to go to the back of the queue.

Queuing is almost a national pastime for the English, who automatically arrange themselves into orderly lines at bus stops, shop counters, ice-cream vans, entrances, exits, and lifts. In 1946, a Hungarian humorist described queuing as English “national passion”. “On the continent,” he said. “if people are waiting at a bus stop they walk around in a seemingly relaxed fashion. When the bus arrives they make a dash (猛冲) for it...An Englishman, even if he is alone, forms orderly queue of one.” In an update over thirty years later in 1977 he confirmed that this was still the case. After nearly another thirty years nothing much seems to have changed.

In many cases, queue-jumping is effectively prevented by non-verbal (非语言的) signals alone. When someone is considering jumping a queue, the queuers will start glancing at him sideways, through narrowed, suspicious eyes. Then they move a bit closer to the person in front of them, just in case the jumper might try to insert himself in the gap. Frowns, glares, and raised eyebrows — accompanied by heavy sighs, pointed coughs — are usually the worst that the person will suffer if he jumps a queue. Faced with all this, the jumper will think better of it and withdraw to the back of the queue.

25. In America and other European countries, queue-jumpers .

A. are severely punished and fined B. are pushed back to the end of lines

C. are warned in a direct manner D. are the cause of public arguments

26. By quoting the description of a Hungarian humorist, the author intends to show .

A. Englishmen are stubborn and too strict with themselves

B. queuing is a kind of automatic behavior for Englishmen

C. queuing is essential in maintaining good public order

D. other Europeans are more open-minded than Englishmen

27. According to the last paragraph, queue-jumping can usually be stopped effectively .

A. with a confident and aggressive attitude

B. with signs of public rules

C. by shouting and loud warning

D. by using certain body language

28. What is the best title of this passage?

A. A social skill to improve your life: queuing

B. Bad manners around the world: queue-jumping

C. A culture of European countries: queuing

D. An English aspect of life: queuing

C

Disney World, Not To Be Missed!

Are you still looking for an amusement park to enjoy yourself? Then, Disney World is your best choice! Disney World has four theme parks. A single-day admission ticket to any of these four theme parks is $67 for adults and $ 56 for young children above three years. The very best time to come here includes middle of April to late May, and Labor Day to middle of November or early December. You’ll surely have a fantastic and memorable experience!

Magic Kingdom

This is the original Disney park from which the entire Disney World has expanded. Once you get here, you can pose for pictures with the Disney characters at the entrance. But if you want to save time, go straight to the Main Street. The children would almost certainly desire to see the Dumbo and Winnie. Just remember the parking lot is usually packed. You will need to walk to the entrance gate.



Epcot

Epcot is divided into two sections: World Showcase and Future World. Future World is all about futuristic rides and high-tech attractions like Test Track and Turtle Talk with Crush. World Showcase, which lies along a lake, shows international styles from different parts of the globe, including Germany, Canada, Mexico, China and a lot more.
