第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50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，并在机读卡

上将该项涂黑。（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

A

Italians like to say that when it comes to alcohol, they have a sipping culture rather than a drinking culture. That means that while Italians may enjoy a glass of wine or beer, they don’t usually get very drunk. That’s not true anymore. The new study by the Italian National Health Institute found that 63 percent of Italians under age 18 get drunk on the weekends. Now, the city of Milan has created a law that will stop anyone under 16 from buying alcohol. Anyone who sells or gives alcohol to a person under 16 can be fined up to $700.  Young people who feel that the new law is unfair should go to the US for some perspective. The US has the highest drinking age in the world: It’s illegal for anyone under 21 to buy alcohol, and stores or restaurants that are caught selling alcohol to people under the legal age risk losing their licenses.  Many young Americans complain that the drinking laws are unfair: They are allowed to vote in elections and join the military at age 18, so why wait another three years just to buy a bottle of beer?  These young people have found help in an unusual place. Last year, more than 100 presidents of US universities joined together to ask lawmakers to consider changing the drinking age. They argued that the law doesn’t stop underage college kids from getting drunk – it just makes them want to drink more.  For now, the law seems unlikely to change. But US teenagers who want alcohol can go north to Canada, where the drinking age is 18-19, or south to Mexico where the legal age is 18. Throughout much of Asia, Africa and Europe, the legal drinking age ranges 16-18.  In plenty of places though, the official drinking age is ignored, and even young children can buy alcohol if they have the money to pay for it.  No matter how old you are, you should always be responsible with alcohol. Teenagers in Milan are now learning that their reckless (不顾后果的) drinking behavior may come at a high price. 31. The new law by the city of Milan ______. A. aims to keep Italy’s sipping culture alive

B. is welcomed by Italian adult people

C. has reduced the number of underage youths getting drunk

D. forbids selling alcohol to people under 16 32. Which of the following places has the lowest drinking age?  A. Mexico B. New York C. Milan D. Canada33. Many US university presidents want lawmakers to consider changing the drinking age because

they ______.A. have received complaints from many young Americans about the unfairness of the lawsB. agree that people old enough to vote and join the army should be allowed to drinkC. don’t want to see US teenagers going to neighboring countries for a drink

D. believe that the law is pushing underage youths toward alcohol instead of stopping them

34. We can infer from the passage that ______. A. Restaurants in the US don’t sell alcohol to people under 21 for fear of a $700fine B. In many places shop owners don’t mind selling alcohol to underage customers

C. The author thinks that US teenagers should go to Canada or Mexico to drinkD. Teens in Milan have to pay a lot of money for their reckless drinking behavior

B

If you feel at present that you don’t have enough friends in your life, one reason may be that you have let yourself become too busy to make time for the relationships you already have. Starting and keeping friendship requires effort and commitment. Many of us let our lives become so busy with work and other commitments that we don’t get around to scheduling time for pleasure and renewal with the friends, relatives and acquaintances we already have. Making the effort to call your friends more regularly and to accept more of the invitations you receive from others can improve your social life in a hurry! Are there any people you could call right now and be assured of a pleasant welcome? Are there people that you could count on to help you in time of difficulty? Can you have close talks with them? Do you have fun when you are together? Are you happy to have them in your life? If you haven’t seen much of them lately, is it because you have become too busy? Have you grown apart? Was there an argument? If the main reason why you haven’t been getting together with the people you already know is that you have gotten too busy, take a good look at how you spend your time. Compare it with your real values and priorities in life. Is your busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want? If you have become too busy for friends, why has this happened? Are you seeking material toys in your life at the expense of relationships with other human beings? Have you allowed your time to be over-committed because you never say “No” to anyone? Do you insist on doing things yourself that could be left to others? If so, why? Do you believe that everything depends on you? Examine whether the way you are now spending your time accurately reflects your deepest values and priorities. Make sure that you schedule adequate time for the things that are truly most important to you. If you really want to keep friends in your life, make a space in your schedule, and a space in your heart for them.35. In this passage the author mainly discusses ____
