第二部分：阅读理解 （共两节，满分40分）

（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

When a store sells goods or services at a cost lower than usual, it is called a sale. Sales last for a limited time. Then the cost is returned to its usual amount.

There are many kinds of sales. For example, a “back-to-school sale” is held near the beginning of the school year. Parents like the lower prices of the clothes and school supplies for their children. A “midnight madness” event starts very late at night. An “early bird special” sale starts very early in the morning. This kind of sale is popular the day after Thanksgiving in November.

People who buy the floor coverings think they are getting a special deal because everything must be sold in a short period of time. Then, days later they see the store did not close permanently. And they see the same sign that claims the store is going out of business. Some business owners really do not end the business. They just want to earn more money.

People also hold their own sales. They hold garage sales and yard sales outside their home. They sell things they no longer want. Groups such as religious centers or schools hold bake sales. They sell cakes, cookies and other baked goods to raise money.

21. What does the passage mainly deal with?

A. Different kinds of sales.

B. How to save money in shopping.

C. Shoppers’ ways to earn money.

D. Reasons for the popularity of sales.

22. What do we call the sale if it starts before the sun rises?

A. A “back-to-school sale”.

B. A “midnight madness” event.

C. An “early bird special” sale.

D. A “buy one, get one free” sale.

23. Why do parents like a “back-to-school sale”?

A. Because it has a variety of school supplies.

B. Because it is held at the beginning of the school year.

C. Because it provides plenty school uniforms.

D. Because they can save money.

24. What’s the purpose of some owners who do “going out of business” sale repeatedly?

A. They want to cheat the customers into buying their goods.

B. They want to give special offers to customers.

C. They want to sell all their goods in a short period of time.

D. They want to close the business permanently.

B

Author Gwen Cooper traveled to animal shelters and rescue groups from May through September, donating supplies and talking to people about her new book, Love Saves the Day. She plans to finish the tour by December, and by then will have donated more than $40,000 worth of products to shelters and raised $5,000 more to help them.

A big part of what she does is a tour of animal shelters instead of bookstores. And a lot of what she does is letting people know of rescue organizations, the work they do and the kinds of animals they work with. Also because her last book is about her cat Homer, who is blind, there is a lot of work that she does with special and disabled animals.

Ever since she was a little girl, she had a passion for two things---books and animals. People always ask her, "Why do you care so much about animals?" However, she always wants to ask them, "Why don’t you care so much about animals?" It is never really a decision that she has made; it’s just the way she has always been. But really she doesn’t like to see anyone suffer whether it’s a person or an animal, as she thinks whether we walk on two legs or four, suffering is suffering.

Although her latest book Love Saves the Day is written for adults, there is a message for kids in it, which is, learning to appreciate their parents. It is a story of a mother and a grown daughter who have a very difficult relationship. A big part of what the daughter has to learn is to see things from her mother’s point of view. One of the key parts of the book is how the mother and daughter learn to better understand each other.

25. Gwen Cooper’s tour probably lasts .

A. 3 months B. 8 months C. 5months D. 12 months

26. What’s the main purpose of Gwen Cooper’s tour?

A. To raise money for a cat organization.

B. To let people know of her new book.

C. To introduce rescue organizations.

D. To donate supplies to animal shelters

27. The word “passion” in Paragraph 3 probably means .

A. a feeling of hate B. a very strong interest

C. a feeling of anxiety D. an understanding of something

28. What can kids learn from the book Love Saves the Day?

A. Caring about animals all the time.

B. The latest study of animals in shelters.

C. More about parents’ views on educating children

D. Respecting and understanding their parents.

C
