第二部分：阅读理解：（共两节，满分40分）

第一节（包括四个阅读理解，共15个小题，每小题2分，共计30分）

（A）

People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer a chance to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child-care.

These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one stands for a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services（宗教仪式）to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit their graves. On these days, families get together at home and in restaurants. They often have outdoor BBQs for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.

Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephones companies and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.

21. Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?

A. Parents bring up children

B. Parents give love and care to children

C. Parents educate children to be good persons.

D. Parents pass away before children grow up

22. What do you know from the passage?

A. Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are both in May.

B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the past

C. Not all the children respect their parents

D. Fathers are not as important as mothers at home

23. Which do you think is right about “carnation”?

A. It only has two kinds of color.

B. It is a special kind of clothes people wear on Mother’s or Father’s Day.

C. It’s a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.

D. People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in May.

My friend must be the wisest woman on this planet, for she has lived up to the three words “Seize the moment”．Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven’t thought about it, or because they are unwilling to try something new．

My sister died a few years ago．We never did have lunch together．I can’t remember how many times I was refused when I called her to go to lunch．She would say to me: “I can’t, my brother．I have clothes on the line．” “My hair is dirty．I wish I had known yesterday．” “I had a late breakfast．” “It looks like rain．” Only after her death did I choose to be a little more flexible（灵活的）．

Life is not made up of things that you do at a particular time, but it demands variety and adventure．As we grow older, the list of promises made to ourselves may get longer．Perhaps one morning, when we wake up, we will find to our surprise that our life is full of “I’m going to”, “I plan to” and “Some day, when things are settled down a bit．”

My seize-the-moment friend is open to adventure and ready at any moment to make a new start．She keeps an open mind about new ideas．Her great interest in life is contagious．With her around you, you may trade your bad feet for good shoes．

I have not touched ice cream for 10 years．The other day, I stopped off and bought a triple-decker（三层冰淇淋）．If my car had hit an iceberg（冰山） on the way home, I would have died happy．

China is the latest country to produce its own version of TV singing competition, "The Voice". Weekly broadcasts of the "Voice of China" began in July and it now leads audience ratings for its time slot (时段). And that’s pushing its commercial value. Herbal tea brand Jia Duobao spent 60 million yuan to become the official sponsor, and the advertisement prices have more than doubled to 360,000 yuan for 15 seconds.

"The Voice of China", adapted from the original Holland music show, topped nationwide ratings rankings when it was first shown on Zhejiang Satellite TV, attracting 2.77 percent of the country’s TV audience.

Every turn-round of the judges in the blind audition(盲选) brings a highlight. Na Ying, Coach, The Voice of China, said, “What most impressed me is its honesty. That’s why audiences love the show and trust it.”

"Judging the voice, and not the appearance" makes the show stand out from the numerous other reality shows in China.

And another selling point is that judges in the show are also mentors（导师）of the singers they choose. Or, one could say, the singers choose them, because
