第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节,满分35分)
第一节 (共10小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)
A
On a warm Monday, Jenny Neilson bought a sandwich and parked her car under some trees. Rolling down the windows to let in fresh air, she settled back to enjoy her lunch. Suddenly she noticed a big bald man running through the parking lot. Before she came to realize what would happen, the man was there, shouting through her window, “Get out!”
Neilson refused.
Pulling open her door, the man seized her by the neck and hair, and threw her out of the car onto the ground. She screamed, grabbing her purse and the keys.
Two reporters of the local newspaper, Robert Bruce and Jeff Jackson, just outside their office building on a break, heard the screams and began running .
When they reached Neilson’s car, t he attacker had jumped into the driver’s seat and was madly searching for the keys. Bruce opened the door, and he and Jackson dragged the man out. The attacker fought back. But even in his cornered panic, he was no match for the two athletic men.
Reggie Miller, a worker of the local newspaper, heard the screams, too. He rushed back to the office to phone the police, and then ran back with some plastic ropes —— used to tie up newspapers.
With his arms tied tight behind him, the prisoner looked up and said coldly, “I hope you guys feel good about yourselves—— you just caught one of the most wanted men.” They ignored him and waited for the police. Later, Bruce and Jackson were shocked to learn the man was the professional carjacker (劫车者)and suspected murderer, whose picture—— but with a full head of hair—— had been recently printed in their own newspaper.
Neilson considers herself lucky though she suffered injuries. She believes the story might have had a different ending if those good people had not come to her aid. “Unfortunately,” she said, “many people would never have done what they did, and that is the real truth.”
21. The underlined word “bald” in Paragraph 1 most probably means .
A. strong B. without hair C. ugly D. rude
22. Please arrange the time order of the following events according to the passage.
a. Neilson was enjoying her lunch in the car.
b. A man robbed Neilson of her car.
c. The picture of the carjacker was printed in the local news paper.
d. The carjacker was caught.
A. abcd B. dbca C. cabd D. abdc
23. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Neilson considers herself lucky because she was not badly hurt.
B. Neilson doesn’t think many people will do the same as the three men.
C. Neilson thinks everyone will do the same as the three men.
D. Neilson has great confidence in people’s kindness and bravery.
B
In the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Negative events like “serious illness of a family member” were high on the list, but so were some positive life – changing events, like marriage. When you take the Holmes – Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stress – it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy.
By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow, the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Women’s magazines ran headlines like “Stress causes illness!” If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy, the articles said, avoid stressful events.
But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous, many – like the death of a loved one – are impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move.
The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what we know about people. It assumes we’re all vulnerable and passive in the face of hardship. But what about human initiative (积极性) and cr eativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental vigor (活力) than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom, and physical and mental stress.
24.The studies on stress in the early 1970’s led to .
A.widespread concern over its harmful effects
B.great panic over the mental disorder it could cause
C.an intensive research into stress – related illness
D.popular avoidance of stressful jobs
25.Why is “such simplistic advice” in the third paragraph impossible to follow?
A.No one can stay on the same job for long.
B.No prescription is effective in relieving stress.
C.People have to get married someday.
D.You could be missing opportunities as well.
26.We can infer from the passage people would become after experiencing stress.
A.nervous when faced with difficulties
B.physically and mentally stressful
C.more capable of dealing with hardship
D.unconcerned with what happens to them
C
Do you feel lucky? You probably don’t. You may think you’ve got where you are today through willpower and hard work. We tend to overlook luck’s role,and this seems to get worse the richer we get; surveys show that the wealthiest are least likely to owe their fortunes to good fortune. Many such people oppose taxation(税收) and government spending: why should others get a handout(救济品) if they don’t need one? More often than not,they vote against the very policies that helped them get lucky to begin with. In a recent Atlantic essay,Robert Frank,an economist who has studied attitudes to chance,quoted(引用) EB White: “Luck is not something you can mention in the presence of self-made men.”
However, if we see this just as a problem of the super-rich people,we may let the rest of us off too easily. Anyone living in a highly developed economy in 2016 is already the one who benefits from luck—for example,not living in the modern-day Central African Republic, where few people can live a long life. In fact,we are lucky to have been born human. You might have been a battery hen,or a mayfly with only one day to live.
Our blindness to such truths isn’t only because we’re self-absorbed but also we attach more significance to things that are easier to call to mind. It’s not hard to recall countless times when you put in the effort to succeed: struggling through university finals,preparing for job interviews,tolerating a long-distance travel to work. On the other hand,it’s rather difficult to realize you’re privileged—like not being born in a war zone,or before antibiotics(抗生素),and so forth.
27. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Self-made men don’t like to be talked about.
B. Successful people owe their achievements to luck.
C. Successful people tend to overlook the role of luck.
D. Self-made men are more likely to show off their fortune.
28. According to the author,you are fortunate if you are not .
A. struggling through university finals B. preparing for interviews
C. tolerating a long distance travel D. living in a war zone
29. We can learn from the passage that .
A. few people in Africa are lucky B. each of us is actually privileged
C. people value the importance of luck D. people succeed because of luck
30. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A. Luck Is A Blessing B. We Are Lucky
C. How To Be Lucky D. Who Is Lucky

For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from school. 31 Employees will suddenly lose their ability to concentrate.
The disease, known as “March Madness”, refers to the yearly 65 – team US men’s college basketball tournament (锦标赛). 32 Teams compete against each other in a single – elimination (单局淘汰) tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.
Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness. The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game. Friends compete against friends. 33 Colleagues against bosses.
Big – name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little – known universit ies.
This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, for many Americans, is an exciting experience. Two years ago, the little – known George Mason University was one of the final four teams. 34
College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves. 35 About $ 4 billion will be spent gambling (赌) on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will bring in $ 500 million in advertising income this year, topping the post – season income of every US professional league, including that of the NBA.
A. Husbands against wives.
B. The players will go all out for the games.
C. But that doesn’t mean money isn’t involved.
D. College students will ignore piles of homework.
E. People are willing to spend more money on watching it.
F. It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April.
G. Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.

The other day I shared knowledge on several aspects of Hindi (印地) cultur e with you. Today I’m hoping to paint a better picture of 36 it means to give in Hindi and how their generosity differs from 37 of Western culture.
I was 38 when we learned the word “thank you” doesn’t really exist in Hindi. In the mountains,it is 39 used, and people often seemed 40 when we tried to thank them. They 41 either turn their heads,or shake their hands at us.
When we asked our Indian friends why this is so,they 42 that giving and generosity are vital parts of their culture. Giving is more of a 43 of “changing hands” than an act of generosity. In their eyes,the foods they would give us were 44 really “theirs”. They see them as something passed along to them and now they are 45 passing them along to us.
The villagers were eager to 46 their best cucumbers to a passing stranger. 47 ,people in the U.S. tend to 48 old,used,or unwanted things 49 their treasured ones.
50 ,during a coffee break,a friend told me about how he donated his 51 clothes and shoes—just for the 52 of giving up the possessions he likes most. Giving is 53 Westerners can certainly do. We can practice 54 giving away the things we value most—not only actual physical possessions,but also perhaps even more 55 ,our time and attention.

阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
There were many problems when people first moved into the cities in the US and UK. Many lived in bad conditions in poor housing. The governments on 56 sides of the Atlantic, worked to improve the living conditions of city dwellers (居民). For a while, especially in the U.S., city life came to be seen as the best and most exciting way to live. Living in the rural areas was regarded as boring. Who wanted to be struggling to make 57 living in the country doing hard agricultural labor?
Many in the UK believed that they had a much better chance of improving themselves in the city. It would be 58 (easy) to move from the ranks of physical laborers to the middle classes 59 they could get better jobs and education. However, Britain has always had a deep love of the beauty and peacefulness of the countryside. The upper classes have always liked to have a house both in London 60 in the country. They still wanted to go to the country for the summer.
Over the last two generations in the UK and US, industrialization 61 (slow) down and more people have become dissatisfied with life in urban areas. They are concerned 62 overcrowding, too much traffic and pollution. What most people want now is a life in the country. They want to move to a v illage, small town or small holding outside of the city 63 they can have more space and some peace and quiet. 64 (develop) in transportation mean that people can continue longer distance, so more people are living as far as they can from urban centers.
People also believe that village and small town life is better for children. Many say that the schools, 65 ( especial) the primary schools, are better in smaller villages. The classes are smaller and some say there will be more positive influence on their children and that their social life will be more fulfilling and nurturing.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow(乌鸦)perched(栖息)on their window.
The father asked his son, “What is this?” The son replied, “It is a crow.”
After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this?” The son said, “Father, I have just now told you, it’s a crow!”
After a little while, the o ld father again asked his son for the third time, “What is this?”
At this time some expression of irritation(恼怒)was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father with a rebuff(生硬回绝). “It’s a crow, a crow.” A little while later, the father again asked his son the fourth time, “What is this?”
This time, the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this?”
A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered(发皱的)diary, which he had maintained since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:
“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not at all feel irritated but I rather felt affection for my innocent son.
