第二部分：阅读理解（共2节，满分40分）

第一节（共15小题每小题2分，满分30分）

A

It was Saturday, so Mr. Smith did not have to go to work. It had snowed heavily the night before, and Mr. Smith’s son Bobby had a new sledge (雪橇), which he had been very eager to try out for a long while. There was a good slope (斜坡) in a park not far away from the Smiths’ house — a slope which children often used for their sledges, so Mr. Smith agreed to take Bobby there in the car. They put the sledge in and went off.

When they reached the park, they found that there were already a lot of boys there, each boy with a sledge of his own. They were sliding down the slope at great speed, and then pulling their sledges up again for another go.

Mr. Smith stood by, watching them with a smile. It was obvious that each and every one of them had much fun. After a few moments, Mr. Smith suddenly saw among the boys a kid who was small and poorly-dressed, and did not have a sledge. This boy had flattened out one old cardboard box, and was sliding down the slope on that. Mr. Smith felt very sorry for this poor boy, and determined to tell his son Bobby to share his new sledge with the boy.

But before he could catch Bobby to speak to him, he was somewhat surprised — and much more delighted — to notice that several of the older boys in the park were already offering the poor boy their nice sledges. Mr. Smith watched them with greater interest — and suddenly realized that the bigger boys were not doing this because they felt sorry for the poor boy, but because they enjoyed riding on his cardboard box more than on their own sledges. They were actually waiting eagerly and impatiently for a turn on the flattened cardboard box!

21. What did Bobby desire to do for a long time?

A. To test and play with his new sledge.

B. To make a new icy slope by himself.

C. To skate with his father in the nearby park.

D. To ride in his father’s car on a snowy night.

22. What did Mr. Smith notice shortly after arriving at the park?

A. Some boys were waiting for their turns to slide patiently.

B. A poor boy didn’t have a sledge but a flattened cardboard box.

C. A big boy was sliding down the slope on a sledge at great speed.

D. Many boys offered to share their own sledges with each other.

23. Mr. Smith was very pleased before speaking to his son because ____________.

A. the bigger boys enjoyed riding on their sledges more than on the box

B. the small and poor boy had already got a new sledge from his parents

C. all the boys were sharing the flattened cardboard box in turns politely

D. some of the bigger boys had already offered their sledges to the poor boy

24. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Children should be taught the value of sharing at an early age.

B. The cardboard box is always a perfect gift for the bigger boys.

C. Simple and unusual things are sometimes popular among the kids.

D. Actually the bigger boys wanted to help the poor boy in some way.

B

China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then every one seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them , all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year , I’ve found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However , people still use their bicycles to get around. For many , it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors---silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.

It’s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads , move skillfully through traffic , and ride even on sidewalks. Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.

Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture , I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.

My first ride home was orderly. To be safe , I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn’t want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.

Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time , skill and a little bit of luck.

I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.

According to the author , why are bicycles still popular in China today?

A. Because they are traditional and safe.

B. Because they are convenient and inexpensive.

C. Because they are colorful and available.

D. Because they are fast and environment friendly.

26.The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended______.

A. to ride it for fun B. to use it for transport

C. to experience local culture D. to improve his riding skills

27.How did the author feel about his street crossing?

A. It was boring. B. It was difficult

C. It was lively. D. It was wonderful.

28.Which of the following best describes the author’s biking experience?

A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.

B. The author was annoyed by the air while riding.

C. The author was praised by the other bikers.

D. The author took great pleasure in biking.
