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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

A

Editor Henry Slocum,

I read your May 10th article in the local newspaper Honesdale Times about electronic books, or e-books, with great interest. You made several good points about the disadvantage of e-books. You may have overlooked, however, some of the ways in which they are superior to traditional books. Yes, e-books are expensive, but they are also convenient. In addition, due to their environment-friendly nature, e-books have the potential to change our planets for the better.

E-books, for anyone who is unfamiliar with the term, are about the same size and shape as regular books. They have a large screen in the middle, however, this screen shows the reader a page of the text that has been downloaded from a computer. Once the reader has finished reading the page on the e-book screen, he or she scrolls down to see a new page. The process continues until the entire book has been read.

As you pointed out, Mr. Slocum, it’s great to lie on a warm, sandy beach with a book. You can do that just as easily with an e-book as you can with a traditional paper book. In fact, because e-books are so light, you can carry themselves. Say, for example, that you like to read on the bus. Which would you rather carry with you — a heavy 800-page novel, or an e-book that weighs only a few ounces?

Another important advantage is offered by e-books as well. They are more environment-friendly than traditional books. At present, thousands of trees cut down each year to meet the publishing industry’s demand for paper. Books that don’t sell are eventually returned to the publisher and destroyed. This terrible waste could be avoided if everyone used e-books, which require no paper.

Sincerely,

David Eng

I promised Michael I wouldn’t mention this until the season was over. Now I think it’s time.

Early last season, I wrote a column about an art of kindness I had seen Jordan do to a disabled child outside the stadium. After it ran, I got a call from a man in the western suburbs. He said, “I read what you wrote about Jordan, but I thought I should tell you another thing I saw. ”

Here it comes, I thought. It always does. Write something nice about a person, and people call you up to say that the person is not so nice.

A few weeks later Jordan and I were talking about something else before a game, and I brought up what the man had said. Was the man right? Had Jordan really been talking to those two boys in that poor and dirty neighborhood?

“Not two boys,” Jordan said. “But four.”

And he named them. He said four names. And what did they talk about?

“Everything,” Jordan said. “Anything. I’ve asked to see their grades so that I can check to see if they’re paying attention to their study. If it turns out that one or two of them may need teaching, I make sure they get it.”

It’s just one more part of Michael Jordan’s life, one more thing that no one knows about, and one more thing Jordan does fight for. The NBA season is over now, and those boys have their memories. So do J! When the expert reviewers begin to turn against Jordan as they surely will, I’ll think about those boys under the streetlight, waiting for the man they know to come. For someone they can depend on.

35. The writer wrote this story about Jordan and his young friends because ______.

A. he thought highly of Jordan’s deeds

B. he hated to see Jordan do something bad

C. he believed it was time to help the disabled

D. he felt sure he needn’t keep the promise then

36. A man in the western suburbs made a call to ______.

A. know why Jordan stopped in a bad area

B. get a chance to become famous himself

C. let the writer know Jordan was not that nice

D. offer an example to show how Jordan helped others

37. Why did Jordan talk with the boys?

A. He needed their support.

B. He had promised to do so.

C. He liked to teach them to play basketball.

D. He wanted to make sure they all studied well.

38. The text implies that Jordan is ______.

A. an excellent basketball player

B. good at dealing with problems of life

C. always ready to make friends with young people

D. willing to do whatever he can for the good of society

C

Dogs already guide blind and disabled people and now they are to be trained to help people with dementia. The idea developed by some university students will now be put into practice by Scotland Medical Center. The research is meaningful, for there are 670, 000 people in Britain who have dementia and by 2021 this is expected to rise to one million.

Dementia can make people confuse night and day or forget basic things such as washing or drinking enough water. The dogs would be trained to help to guide them through the day.

Joyce Gray from Scotland Medical Center said, “People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help them to
