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

When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm and, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems too.

One big disadvantage is money—it costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma (哮喘) , and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of travelling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.

Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising—and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.

Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens (十几岁) or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.

21. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?

A. Leaving home for the city B. Running away from the school

C. Staying on the farm D. Moving to the countryside

22. Which of the following is true about the writer?

A. He is in good health. B. He is very old now.

C. He lives in the city now. D. He prefers driving a car.

23. In the passage, the writer tries to _______.

A. describe his life in the countryside B. express his opinions about way of life

C. show an interest in the outside world D. persuade the reader to live in the city

24. How is the passage mainly developed?

A. By giving explanations B. By inferring

C. By listing examples D. By comparing

In UK，A primary school has banned Valentine’s Day cards because of concerns that young pupils spend too much time talking about boyfriends and girlfriends.

Ashcombe Primary School in Weston Super Mare，Somerset，has told parents that cards declaring love can be “confusing” for children under the age of 11，who are still emotionally and socially developing. In this month’s newsletter (通讯)，Peter Turner，the head teacher，warned that any cards found in school would be confiscated (没收)．He wrote：“We do not wish to see any Valentine’s Day cards in school this year. Some children and parents encourage a lot of talk about boyfriends and girlfriends. We believe that such ideas should wait until children are mature enough emotionally and socially to understand the commitment involved in having or being a boyfriend or girlfriend.” Mr. Turner said any families wanting to support the Valentine’s Day idea should send cards in the post or deliver them to home addresses by hand.

His views were?endorsed?by Ruth Rice， 46， who has twins Harriet and Olivia at the school. She said，“Children at that age shouldn’t really be thinking about Valentine’s Day，they should be concentrating on their schoolwork.” They are at an age when they are impressionable (易受影响的) and most parents including myself are with Mr. Turner. “She added that the cards cause” too much competition. If someone gets a card and another doesn’t，then someone will be disappointed.

However，Rajeev Takyar,40，who has two children Jai, 11，and Aryan，five，at the school，said he was “outraged”．He said，“There are schools that have banned conkers (栗子游戏) and snowballs，and now Valentine’s Cards.” I think banning the cards stops children from having social skills. How are they going to learn about relationships otherwise？It’s ridiculous. Alec Suttenwood，father of three children，said of the ban：“It’s totally ridiculous. Young children just send the cards to each other as friends and to their parents. It’s just a bit of harmless fun. There is no difference between this and Mother’s or Father’s Day.”

28. The underlined word “endorsed” means________.

A. disapproved?? B. quoted C. approved D. criticized??

29. What do you know about Harriet and Olivia
