第二部分 阅读理解 （共两节，满分50分）

第一节 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，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）

A

When I was in college, I spent a semester studying abroad at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. In my brief time there, I came to love Scotland for its local culture, food and scenery (景色). You might think, “Scotland isn’t so different from the US; they still speak English there!” But when I stepped off the plane, I was greeted by a gruff-voiced (声音粗哑的) lady at customs. “You’ll be coming from America, then?” she asked me, and I nodded. “But all of our lads (小伙子) are leaving Glasgow for the States!” Her thick Scottish English and sense of humor were obvious right away. I was not in the US anymore, where customs agents never joke around. As I settled in at the university, I could feel myself getting used to hearing – and even speaking – the Scottish English of my customs agent. In classroom discussions, people would say “em” when they couldn’t think of what to say instead of “um”. After the first few weeks, I stopped chuckling (咯咯笑) about this. Strathclyde students stayed up late into the night, running around campus and shouting, “Here weh, here weh, here weh [curse word] go! Lat’s go, lat’s go, lat’s go [curse word] Glasgow!” Pretty soon, I was no longer saying “thanks” at the supermarket – instead, I said “cheers”. My Scottish friends drank whiskey and ate haggis (羊杂碎布丁), a hearty dish made from sheep’s heart, liver and lungs. I drank plenty of whiskey but I’m ashamed to admit that I wasn’t brave enough to try haggis. Scottish bakeries usually sell bridies (肉馅饼), pies filled with salt and pepper, sliced onions, steak, butter and fat. Add a cup of tea – though I usually Americanized it by choosing coffee instead – and a bridie makes for a delicious breakfast. Every time I took a train anywhere in Scotland, I’d gaze out at the rolling hills and wonder if grass was greener anywhere else in the world. Then I’d reflect that there’s a reason this country was the birthplace of golf.By Calvin Pollak, 21st Century Teens staff31.

Tevin Hudson was in no hurry to get behind the wheel of a car. In high school, he rode the bus and caught rides with friends or his mom. Yet the 19-year-old is not so out of step with his peers. For a growing number of US teenagers, obtaining a driver’s license is more of a financial burden (负担) than a ticket to freedom. For Hudson, postponing his driving test was worth the wait.
“It looks like teens just can’t afford to drive,” said Matt Moore, vice-president of the Highway Loss Data Institute. “Paying for their own cars, gas and insurance (保险) is hard if they can’t find a job.” Some see those same financial forces combining with other shifts (改变) in youth culture, including the arrival of new ways to spend their limited funds (基金). “Young folks would rather spend their money on an iPhone than a car,” said professor Bruce Stephenson at Rollins College. “It’s a lot cheaper not to have a car.” Stephenson said the push for walkable communities, green transportation and the growing desire for urban (城市的) living could have teens tapping the brakes (刹车) on getting a license. Another reason a car may matter less to the younger set is because teens can communicate easily with peers via social media. “They have another way,” said Michele Harris, director of traffic safety culture at AAA Auto Club South in Tampa, Florida. “Before, you needed that car to be with your friends.”35. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the article?A. To introduce American driving culture.B. To explain how US teenagers socialize with their friends.C. To explore why driving is now less popular with US teenagers than it used to be.D. To discuss the impact of social media on US teenagers.36. The underlined phrase “holding off” in Paragraph 5 probably m
