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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

In a cab, a woman seemed in such a hurry. She constantly rushed the cab driver to drive quickly. She was so absorbed in her own thoughts of getting to the airport as soon as possible that she was not aware they were going by a different route.

All of a sudden, a young man got inside the cab. He took her handbag in which she had put her visa, passport, and all the money for the trip.

The cab driver, who was in collusion with the robber, left her exactly in the middle of a dark street. She thought that she was rather unfortunate in the very situation.

During the very night, she was told a piece of shocking news. Tears came down her cheeks. Flight 360, the plane that she should have got on board, had crashed. Had she not lost her important belongings, she could surely have lost the thing far more precious—her life.

Sometimes bad things really happen. There are times when nothing seems to go our way. So what should we do about it? We must get rid of all these frustrations and start all over again in the faith that we will get what we deserve.

Don’t waste your time and energy on things that can’t be changed. Continuous worrying will only affect your health and you’ll be doing much more damage than what was previously done.

What if it is the other way round? What if we never run out of good luck?

There was a man who won the lottery. He became greedy and wasted all his money on everything he could get his hands on.

But when he one day made it to the front page of the newspaper again, it was a different story. He had been killed because of his riches. If you attain good luck, you can never be too secure about it. Life is so unpredictable. You never know what will happen next.

Live one day at a time. We sometimes subject ourselves to unnecessary emotional trouble. But please don’t forget: sometimes misfortune can be the source of happiness. Live for the moment. Do what must be done for the present and the future will turn out just fine. Believe me. And believe in yourself. As Captain Planet always says, “The power is yours！”

21. The underlined phrase “in collusion with” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________.”

A. was forced by B. had cooperated with

C. was doing one’s best to beg D. was fighting bravely against

22. From the passage, we learn that ________.

A. the woman was lucky to miss her flight

B. somebody never runs out of good luck

C. robbers are sure to get what they want

D. if one feels oneself lucky, he or she will continue to be so

23. The writer presents the second example in order to ________.

A. warn people of the danger of winning the lottery

B. persuade people not to be greedy

C. encourage people to buy lottery

D. tell people life is unpredictable

24. The passage is intended to tell us ________.

A. fortune just goes with those prepared minds

B. we should save up for a rainy day

C. misfortune sometimes is a blessing

D. both losses and gains always go hand in hand

B

The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on well with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly-held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their rooms after endless family quarrels.

An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families,” said one number of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds: they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”

So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-year-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”

Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over. ”

25. What is the popular image of teenagers today？

A. They worry about school.

B. They quarrel a lot with other family members.

C. They have to be locked in to avoid troubles.

D. They dislike living with their parents.

26. According to the writer, teenage rebellion __________.

A. existed only in the 1960s B. is common nowadays

C. may be a false belief D. resulted from changes in families

27. What is the passage mainly about？

A. Harmony in family. B. Education in family.

C. Negotiation in family. D. Teenage trouble in family.

C
