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

Along a long path we came to a deep valley, on the far side of which the path led into some very thick bushes. Rather than push through up again and rejoin the path on the far side of the bushes

As I climbed down into the valley a bird flew off the rock on which I had put my hand. On looking at the spot from which the bird had risen, I saw two eggs. They were the kind that I did not have in my collection, so I placed them carefully in my bag, wrapped in a little dry grass.

As we went further down the valley the sides became steeper and not far from where I had entered. It came to drop of about twelve to fourteen feet. The water that rushed down all these small valleys in the rainy season had worn the rock as glass. As it was too deep to climb down, I handed my gun to one of the men and slid down it. My feet had hardly touched the sandy bottom when the two men jumped down, one on each side of me. They quickly gave me the gun and asked me if I had heard the tiger. In fact, I had heard nothing; possibly because of the noise I made sliding down the rock. The men said they had heard a tiger growling somewhere nearby, but they did not know from which direction the noise had come.

21. According to the text we know that __________

A. the writer decided to push through the thick bushes

B. the writer tried to find two eggs

C. the writer wanted to stop climbing

D. the writer decided to walk along the valley

22. When the writer found the eggs, he ________.

A. wrapped them in dry grass and took them with him

B. wrapped them in dry grass and put them aside

C. tried to find the bird

D. made the bird fly off

23. At the end of the story, the writer knew that ____________.

A. a tiger had run away B. a tiger had seen them

C. the men had seen a tiger D. a tiger was close to them

B

After years of hearing drivers complain about scratches on their cars, Japan’s Nissan Motor Company has officially announced the next big thing — a paint that not only resists scratches and scrapes, but actually repairs itself within a few days.

The new material, developed by Nippon Paint Company, contains an elastic rubbery-like resin (弹性树脂) that is able to heal minor marks caused by car wash equipment, parking lot encounters, road debris (石头碎片) or even on-purpose destruction.

The automaker admits its results vary depending on the temperature and the depth of the damage, but adds this is the only paint like it in the world, and tests prove it works.

Minor scratches, the most common type, are said to slowly fade over about a week. And once they’re gone, there is no trace that they were ever there.

The special paint is said to last for at least three years after it is first applied, but there is no word yet on whether more can be added after that period.

Nissan claims car washes are the worst offenders for this type of damage, accounting for at least 80 percent of all incidents.

But the complete auto-healing won’t come without scratching your wallet. The vehicle maker notes the special paint adds about $100 US to the price of a car.

It plans to use its new chemical mixture only on its X-Trail SUVs in Japan for now, as it looks for a more widespread presentation. And while plans to offer the feature overseas haven’t been made yet, if it’s a hit there, you can be almost sure market forces will drive it to these shores, as well.

24. From the article, we can find that _________.

A. the paint has already been used on cars by now

B. marketing this paint in Europe is not under way

C. car damage is mainly caused by scratches and scrapes

D. it beats other products of its kind in its lengthy effect

25. The paint used on cars can _________.

A. last 3 years before it is reapplied again

B. fade only in a few days

C. reduce car scrape incidents to 20 percent

D. help to protect minor paint damage

26. What does the underlined part refer to?

A. somewhere in Japan B. name for one kind of paint

C. certain models of Nissan D. a word standing for a car-dealer store

27. What can be inferred from the article?

A. The paint might work better in summer than in winter.

B. The paint was developed by Nissan Motor Company.

C. The mark on the car could disappear as soon as the pain is applied.

D. The paint is very popular in Japan.

C

It is the goal of politicians everywhere-----how to win and keep the trust of voters.

Now researchers at the University of St Anurew’s in Scotland say they may have the answer. They believe politicians could learn a lot from recent advances in science. A growing number of studies have shown that people do judge a book by its cover. Researchers say most of us make quick judgments about a person on the basis of how they look.

Studies suggest that people are less likely to trust those with particularly masculine(男性的) features, such as a square jaw, small eyes or a big nose. “ They are considered dominant(支配的) and less trustworthy,” says Ms Cornwell. “It doesn’t mean that men who look more masculine are less trustworthy-----it’s just our first impression.” Those with less masculine features-----larger eyes, a smaller nose and thinner lips are thought to be more trustworthy.

The researchers are putting their science to the test at the Royal Society’s annual summer exhibition in London. They have copied the faces of Prime Minister Tony Blair, Conservative leader Michael Howard and Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy stressing their dominant and trustworthy features. “ We have used a computer program to change the shape of their faces and features. We hope it will help people to understand our work.”

So should we expect to see them at the exhibition getting tips?

“I don’t think it’s something they will want to try,” says Ms Cornwell. “It’s not really possible with television. We all know what they look like.”

28. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refers to _____.

A. the researchers B. their features

C. Tony Blair, Michael Howard and Charles Kennedy D. computer programs

29. According to the passage, we know that _____.

facial features might give people some wrong impressions

people with good facial features must be trustworthy

people with bad facial features could not be trustworthy

we should judge people by their facial features

30. According to Ms Cornwell, we can infer that _____.

the science will give politicians great help

politicians won’t think highly of the science

politicians could be successful with the help of the science

politicians will be satisfied with the science

31. What’s the best title for the passage?

A. The Other Sides of Politicians B. How to Win the Trust of Voters

C. How Science could Help Politicians D. An Important Discovery for Politicians
