第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）

第一节（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Few of us haven’t read Cinderella, the story of a young?woman?living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams. Some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone’s heart—we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity（默默无闻）. Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too. Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high school.? Mary is shy but loves to dance. Compared with other girls, she is invisible. However, her world changes completely when a famous teenager pop singer, Joey Parker, appears. Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not—kind, handsome and desirable. Mary and Joey’s paths cross at a?ball. They meet and fall in love with each other. But when Mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the?only?clue Joey has to find the girl of?his?dreams. Of course, there is a wicked stepmother, who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies. Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn’t get into the top dance school. Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary, even if that means embarrassing her. The story, though it mostly follows Cinderella, does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale. Refreshingly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not focus on looks, although the actors are all beautiful. There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies. “ The movie takes the Cinderella fairy tale as its jumping off point,” writes movie critic Amber Wilkinson. “Yet the focus is firmly on following your dream.”31. The first paragraph is mainly to ____________. A. inform us of the importance to?marry?a prince B. remind us why Cinderella is popular all the years C. build interest and?lead?us to Mary’s secret dream? D. tell us how interesting the fairy tale Cinderella is32. In the movie, Mary Santiago is the main character who _____________.? A. is brave in expressing her love??????????? B. is badly treated by the stepmother C. has a dream of meeting a prince??????????D. is embarrassed by the pop singer33. What can we infer?from?the passage? A. Joey is just like other boys in Mary’s class. B. The MP3 player helps Joey in finding Mary. C. Not many people have a dream to be realized. D. Mary’s mother influences her a lot in singing.34. What does movie critic Amber Wilkinson mean by?his?words about Another

Cinderella Story? A. The movie is exactly another copy of the Cinderella fairy tale. B. The movie is as good as the story Cinderella. C. The movie and Cinderella both focus on following your dream. D. The movie is based on the story Cinderella while a little different?from?it.?

As we grow old, we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we’ve yet to get around to. Yet re-readers are everywhere around us. For certain fans, re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually. One friend told me that Jane Austen’s Emma can still surprise him, despite his having read it over 50 times.:]

New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading. Journalist Rebacca Mead, a long-time Englishwoman in New York, first came across George Eliot’s Middlemarch at 17. Since then, she has read it again every five years. With each re-reading, it has opened up further; in each chapter of her life, it has resonated (引起共鸣) differently. Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeat reads, but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines. These kinds of books grow with us.

Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading. Research conducted with readers in the US found that on our first reading, we are concerned with the “what” and the “why”. Second time round, we’re able to
