第二部分 阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

A

Every day, Daisy wakes up next to a man，who has to convince her they are married．When she expresses doubt，he takes out a photo album and shows her pictures of their wedding 13 years ago·

Only then does amnesiac Daisy accept that she has been married，and that everything he has told her is true．The lady’s condition was caused by brain injuries suffered in two road accidents，a motorbike crash in 1985 and a car accident in 1990.Since then everything that happens on one day is forgotten the next day.

She has no day-to-day memory after the car crash．And it is not just loved ones that Daisy struggles with．She uses hundreds of notes and reminders on her mobile phone’s calendar to keep her informed of appointments and everyday duties．And on the rare occasions when she takes the risk of going out of her home alone，she has to be armed with navigation(导航)programmed with her address.

There are some benefits，however．There is no such thing as a repeat on TV and every joke is funny, because it seemed she has heard it the first time．“It’s like I am living the same day, day after day,’’said Daisy, who does voluntary work at a charity for people with disabilities three days a week．

Dr Peter Nestor said Daisy was suffering from anterograde(顺行的)amnesia. He added，“It is reasonably rare，but it does exist．You are able to carry out day-to-day things，and don’t forget how to do certain things like speaking. But if someone was to ask you what you did yesterday, you wouldn’t have a clue.”

21．What caused Daisy’s condition?

A．Her disability since birth． B．Brain injuries in accidents．

C．Her declining health． D．Tiring working．

22．How did Daisy’s family help remind her?

A．By taking her to the hospital．

B．By telling her jokes．

C．By showing her old photos and pictures．

D．By persuading her to recall the car crash．

23．The underlined word“amnesiac”in Paragraph 2 probably means

A．strong B． optimistic C．warm-hearted D．forgetful

24．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Daisy could still enjoy a lot in spite of her illness．

B．The only thing Daisy kept in mind was her home．

C．Daisy couldn’t do anything but stay at home．

D．Daisy didn’t want to trust anyone else．

Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers．But last summer，Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son：suddenly he seemed to be talking more to his friends than to his parents．“The door to his room is always shut，”Joanna noted．

Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter．“She used to cuddle up(蜷伏)with me on the sofa and talk，”said Mark．“Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something．Sometimes she wants to be treated like a 1ittle girl and sometimes like a young lady．The problem is figuring out which time is which．”

Before age 11，children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds．“In fact，parents are first on the list，”said Michael Riera，author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers．“This completely changes during the teen years，”Riera explained．“They talk to their friends first，then maybe their teachers，and their parents last．”

Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them．To break down the wall of silence，parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say，and try to find ways to talk and write to them．And they must give their children a mental break，for children also need freedom，though young．Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend，not a manager，with their children is a better way to know them.

25．“The door to his room is always shut”suggests that the son________.

A．is always busy with his studies B．is angry with his parents

C．keeps himself away from his parents D．begins to dislike his parents

26．What troubles Tina and Mark most is that_______.

A．their daughter isn’t as lovely as before

B．they can’t read their daughter’s mind exactly

C．they don’t know what to say to their daughter

D．their daughter has grown up so quickly

27．Which of the following best explains“the wall of silence”in the last paragraph?

A．Teenagers do not talk much with their parents．

B．Teenagers do not want to understand their parents．

C．Teenagers talk a lot with their friends．

D．Teenagers talk much about their own lives．

28．What can be learned from the passage?

A．Parents are unhappy with their growing children．

B．Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers．

C．Parents should force their children to talk with them．

D．Parents should try to understand their teenagers．

American cities are similar to other cities around the world．In every country, cities reflect the values of the culture．American cities are changing，just as American society is changing．

After World War II，the population of most large American cities decreased；however, the population in many Sun Belt cities increased．In the late 1940s and early 1950s，city residents became wealthier．They had more children so they needed more space．They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes．They bought houses in the suburbs(郊区)．

Now things are changing，the children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults．Many, unlike their parents，want to live in the cities．They continue to move to Sun Belt cities and older ones of the Northeast and Midwest．Many young professionals are moving back into the city．They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there；or they just enjoy the excitement and possibilities that the city offers．

This population shift(迁移)is bringing problems as well as benefits．Countless poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent．In the 1950s，many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs；now many of these same people do not have enough money to stay in the cities．

Only a few years ago，people thought that the older American cities were dying．Some city residents now see a bright，new future．Others see only problems and conflicts．One thing is sure：many dying cities in America are alive again．

29．What does the author think of cities all over the world?

A．They are dying． B．They are hopeless．

C．They are similar． D．They are different．

30．Why did American city residents want to live in the suburbs after World War II?

A．Because older American cities were dying．

B．Because they were richer and needed more space．

C．Because cities contained the worst parts of society．

D．Because they could hardly afford to live in the city．

31．According to the 4th paragraph，a great many poor people in American cities____．

A．are faced with housing problems B．are forced to move back to the suburbs

C．want to sell their buildings D．need more money for daily expenses

32．We can conclude from the text that_________________.

A．American cities are changing for the worse

B．people have different views on American cities

C．older people prefer the city to the suburbs in America

D．the population is decreasing in older American cities
