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中选出最佳选项。

A

China’s economy grows，salaries rise；and more city residents feel the need to hit the road in what has become a symbol of individuality and freedom—a car．China has a growing love affair with the car．This is clear at the Beijing Asian Games Village Automobile Exchange，where more and more people come to look and，increasingly,to buy．

The Asian Games Village Automobile Exchange is the biggest car dealership in Beijing．General manager Guo Yong says the business sells more than 2,000 cars each week．Guo says it is much easier for Chinese consumers to buy a car now．Also，the emergence of less expensive domestic brands like Chery and BYD means more Chinese can afford cars．

For decades，most Chinese city residents have got about by bicycle or public buses and trains．Now，in many areas，the number of new cars is growing faster than the road system，leaving city streets jammed with traffic．

Guo Liang has wanted to buy a car for a decade，and he will be the first in his family to own one．He is not prevented by Beijing’s traffic jams．Guo says if the traffic is too bad，he will use the ear for leisure or holidays with his family．

World Bank transportation specialist Shomik Mendhiratta says a car is something people in any society would be eager to own．“Getting a car makes people feel like they have arrived in the middle class．”Mendhiratta said．“It has got a huge status associated with it．It’s a fantastic thing to have，if you have never had a car．A car gives you a mobility that’s unbelievable．”

21．Which of the following doesn’t a car represent，according to the passage?

A．Status． B．Freedom． C．Individuality． D．Opportunity．

22．What contributes to the affordability of cars，according to the passage?

A．Factories produce more cars．

B．The prices of imported cars are lower．

C．There are more foreign car factories．

D．Some domestic cars are not so expensive．

23．What’s the problem caused by the growth of new cars?

A．It makes people less healthy．

B．It makes city streets jammed with traffic．

C．It makes people often go to work late．

D．It makes people belong to the middle class．

B

America is losing its moral values at an alarming rate．There was a time，not too long ago，when most young Americans had a common goal，which was to get a good job，own a home and raise a family．That was considered happiness．People knew what they could afford and stayed within their means．Children were taught to respect authority．Parents were role models for their children．

They would never let their children associate with another child that they considered to be a bad influence．And instead of just allowing them to grow up，they actually raised them with strong morals and beliefs，instilling(灌输)the values of God，family,and country．

But today, America is full of exhausted dads and single moms who，instead of taking on their role as a parent，instilling moral character and values in their children，have lots of debt upon themselves．As a result，they are too busy working to pay these debts，rather than focus on the real needs of their children．Instead of giving their children the parental guidance they need，they shower them with expensive electronic gadgets(数码产品)．Most of the time，especially in single parent homes，the children are completely unsupervised．

Without proper guidance and supervision(监督)，a child simply wanders aimlessly through their childhood，learning their values from only God knows who．Is it any wonder then that America is losing its moral values?The children are our future leaders．How can they lead if they don’t know the way?Even animals teach their young．

Therefore，the young people of today need to listen to the older generation and start making some adjustments．Your children should be your primary concern．They need far more than mere food and shelter．They need careful guidance．Moral values need to be instilled while they are young．

24．Americans used to give their children_______．

A．much freedom B．proper guidance C．1ots of money D．expensive toys

25．Why are American parents exhausted today?

A．They bear a heavy debt burden．

B．They are under great work pressure．

C．They are tired with raising children．

D．They have fierce competition in their work．

26．What tone(语气，口吻)does the author use in talking about today’s American parents?

A．Grateful． B．Humorous． C．Disapproving． D．Guilty．

27．The last paragraph is written to_______．

A．make comparisons B．give more examples

C．analyze the problem D．give some advice

C

Black Friday is the day following Thanksgiving Day in the United States．In recent years，it has been regarded as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season and most major shops have opened extremely early and offered promotional sales(促销)．Black Friday is not an official holiday,but many employees and schools have both Thanksgiving and the following Friday off，followed by a weekend．It has been the busiest shopping day of they ear since 2005．

The day’s name began in Philadelphia，where it originally was used to describe huge crowds and heavy traffic that would occur on the day after Thanksgiving．The use of the name started before 1961．Later all alternative explanation was made：“Black Friday”indicates the point at which retailers(零售商)begin to turn a profit or are“in the black”．

For many years，it was common for retailers to open at 6：00 a.m．，but in the late 2000s many had opened at 5：00 a．m．or even 4：00 a．m．．This was taken to a new degree in 2011，when several retailers opened at midnight for the first time．

Black Friday Shopping is known for attracting aggressive crowds，with annual reports of terrible noise and crowds of people trampling(踩伤)on other shoppers in an attempt to get the best deal on a product before supplies run out．

28．What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 ?

A．People stay at home to spend the holiday．

Their beautiful call suggests the arrival of spring，but the routes taken by cuckoos(杜鹃)during their annual migration(迁徙)have remained a mystery．Now,though，scientists from the British Trust for Omithology(BTO)have revealed the details of their remarkable 10，000-mile journey，with the help of tracking devices．

Five male birds were caught in Norfolk last May and fitted with satellite-tagged “backpacks’’ before being released．The scientists then monitored their progress over 12 months as they flew to Africa in the autumn，and returned in the spring．
