第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节 （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。

\A

You've probably heard about sports coaches, fitness coaches, voice and music teachers, career counselors, psychiatrists(精神病医师) and other specialists who teach skills and help us cope with daily life.

But there's a rapidly growing kind of professional who does a little bit of everything. She or he is called a “ life coach ”. People who are at crossroads in their lives, and corporations that want to give certain employees a career boost, are turning to them for help.

The idea that one person’s success story can change other people’s lives for the better goes back at least to the 1930s. Dale Carnegie’s famous self-improvement program “How to Win Friends and Influence People” came along soon thereafter.

But this new style of life coaches includes more than enthusiastic speakers or writers. They use their own experiences in business, sports, military service, or psychotherapy (心理疗法)to help others make critical life decisions.

They often give their approach a slogan, such as “energy coaching” or “fearless living” or “working yourself happy”.

Dave Lakhani in Boise, Idaho, for instance, works with salespeople to develop what he calls a “road map”. He says an ongoing relationship with a coach is like having a personal fitness trainer for one’s career and life outside work.

Lakhani’s Bold Approach coaching firm also donates some of its time to help people who are anything but successful---including battered women and struggling single mothers.

But others in the so-called “helping professions” are not thrilled about the life-coaching movement. They say that anyone, trained or untrained, can call himself or herself a life coach, and that slick(华而不实的) promoters who mess with people’s lives can do more harm than good.

21. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. Working Yourself Happy.

B. Life Coaches Help with Tough Decisions.

C. How to Cope with Daily Life with Life Coaches.

D. The Life-Coaching Movement.

22. The underlined phrase “life coach” in Paragraph 2 means“_______”.

A. The career counselor who teaches skills

B. The psychiatrist who helps us cope with daily life

C. The fitness coach who teaches us lessons

D. The specialist who helps us make important life decisions

23.The last paragraph is mainly about__________.

A. the introductions of life coach B. the disagreements of life coach

C. the effects of life coach D. the experiences of life coach

24.What is the author’s attitude towards life coaches?

A. Cautious． B. Approving． C. Casual． D. Disapproving．

Thirteen can be a challenging age. Not only did I have to adapt to my changing body, I also had to deal with my parents’ bitter divorce, a new family and the upsetting move from my country home to a crowded town.

When we moved, my beloved companion, a small brown pony had to be sold. I was heartbroken and terribly lonely. I couldn’t eat or sleep and cried all the time. Finally, realizing how much I missed my pony, my father bought me another horse, Cowboy.

Cowboy was without doubt the ugliest horse in the world. But I didn’t care. I loved him beyond all reasons.

I joined a riding club. When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse was judged by appearance, we were quickly ”shown the gate”. I knew nothing could turn Cowboy into a beauty. My only chance to compete would be in the timed speed events. I chose the jumping race.

For the whole next month we practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home, totally exhausted.

All of our hard work didn’t make me feel confident by the time the show came
