第二部分:閱讀理解(共25小題;每小題2分,滿分50分)
第一節(jié) 閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng),并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
Ever since she was a baby, Heather, aged 5, has watched her parents regularly turn off lights
that aren’t needed and put the day’s newspapers cans, bottles, jars, and other recyclables into a big, yellow bin — that is, if they can't find a second life for the discarded items in their own home first. Plastic packaging, pieces of cardboard, scraps of colored paper, bits of yarn, and small pieces of broken toys are typically dropped into a basket that the whole family rummages through whenever they need supplies for an art project. Recently, after spying a bit of shiny paper on the floor, Heather picked it up and said, "This is pretty. I'll put it in the art basket." Already, like parents, like daughter.
Heather's effort to recycle a scrap of paper rather than throw it away is a tiny gesture with a big message. It shows that even young children can learn about conserving materials and resources, and by extension, protecting the planet, in age-appropriate ways. It also shows that your child is so tuned in to your ways that it is easy to become an environmental role model. But because children are more apt to want to care for something they have a personal stake in, it's as important to expose your child to the natural world as it is to teach her ways to protect it.
This doesn't require week-long camping trips into the wilderness — although those can be fun, enlightening experiences for the whole family. Children can explore, appreciate, and learn about nature literally in their own backyard, in a park, in a community garden, and on trips to the beach or mountains. There's more good news: Giving your child opportunities to connect with nature can also help her develop crucial literacy, language, math, science, social studies, art, problem-solving, and research skills.

43.The text mainly suggests that children___________.
A.love recycling things         B.a(chǎn)re curious about things
C.can learn to protect nature      D.should act the way as their parents
44.What’s the author’s suggestion about introducing a child to the natural world?
A.Going on a camping trip.          B.Traveling to the wilderness.
C.Learning from their parents.   D.Playing in such places as a park.

[4]The word ship appears in a number of special American expressions. Another is chip off the old block. This means that a child is exactly like a parent. This expression goes back at least to the early sixteen hundreds. The British writer of plays.

[5]The word chip can also be used in a threatening way to someone who is suspected of wrongdoing.

閱讀下面的短文,請(qǐng)根據(jù)短文后的要求答題(請(qǐng)注意問(wèn)題后的字?jǐn)?shù)要求)
To forgive (寬恕) may be great, but no one ever said it was easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your complaint. But forgiveness is possible — and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.
So how do you start forgiveness? Try following these steps:
Calm yourself. To calm your anger, try a simple stress-management technique. “Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love,” Luskin says.
Don’t wait for an apology. “Many times the person who hurt you has no intention of apologizing,” Luskin says. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you ______________________, you could be waiting an awfully long time.”
Take the control away from your offender. Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who cause you pain. “Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you,” Luskin says.
Try to see things from the other person's perspective. If you understand that person, you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear —even love. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.
Don’t forget to forgive yourself. “For some people, forgiving
themselves is the biggest challenge,” Luskin says. “But it can rob
you of your self–confidence if you don’t forgive yourself.”

Getting to the top is hard enough but staying there is an even greater challenge. And so it could be argued that the 10th World Championship 400m victory by Tonique Williams Darling is even more remarkable than when she struck Olympic gold in 2004.
   Coming off the final turn the 27-year-old from the Bahamas held off the attack of both Sanya Richards (USA) and the former World champion Ana Guevara of Mexico displaying a hunger that permanent champions must have.
"I would say that being able to pull off the Olympic title and then come back a year later and pull off the World Championship title has just been a miler coaster (過(guò)山車) experience for me," she revealed. "It's really an historical moment for me and for the Bahamas, just to be able to do something like this. And so I feel really humbled and grateful and just overjoyed right now."
"It is not an easy experience. I will tell you, definitely, that in the off-season it was just a struggle to go out there every day and practice because coming off the top races and after the Olympics experience you are just kind of worn out mentally. It's not even physical. So you just go with the season, and work through it, and by the time, like two weeks away from this competition, I was hungry again and ready to be competitive."
Williams Darling credits a support group of friends and family, her husband, Bahamian 400m runner Denis Darling, with keeping her grounded when the natural tendency would be to celebrate and then rest on one's laurels (桂冠,榮譽(yù)), Most importantly she credits her Christian faith.
"My life has changed a little bit (since winning the Olympics) but as far as the competition and training it hasn't changed that much,' she declares. "One thing I have tried to do is to train like I have never won anything before. And I think that it was achieved because I could have been lackadaisical (無(wú)精打采的) and blown off the season or whatever. I just stayed in there and knew that everybody else was coming after me. That really helped me to stay motivated this season."
46. The underlined words "credit' in paragraph 5 probably means
A. believe somebody
B. add money to the bank
C. attributes her success to those who have supported her
D. record, payment of money
47. Who won the gold medal of the 400m at the 9th World Championship?
A. Denis Darling.                         B. Sanya Richards.
C. Tonique Williams Darling.                D. Ana Guevara.
48. According to the passage we can infer that _________.
A. the 10th World Championship was held in 2005.
B. Tonique Williams Darling's husband was her coach.
C. Denis Darling used to be a winner of the 400m of the Olympics
D. Sanya Richards only won at the .10~ World Championship
49. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Tonique Williams Darling was retired after the 10' World Championship.
B. Tonique Williams Darling believed that SomeOne would catch up with her if she'         did not stay motivated and train hard enough.
C. Tonique Williams Darling got to the top because she Was hungry before a competition.
D. According to Tonique Williams Darling, the Olympic title was less important than         the World Championship title.                  
50. Which is the most probable title of the passage?
    A. The harder you work, the more you'll get.
B. An athlete's successful story.
C. The higher top you get, the greater challenge you'll meet.
D. Do your best, and you are sure to be the top.

第二節(jié). 任務(wù)型閱讀
Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A---F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
Attention must be paid to environmental factors.
Principles of curing cancers.
It will take long to find perfect cures.
An important discovery in the research.
The causative factor of cancer is very clear.
The survival rate differs among patients with various cancers.
71. _____This year, 50 percent of the 910,000 people who suffer from cancer will survive at least five years. In the year 2000 , the National Cancer Institute estimates, that figure will be 75 percent. For some skin cancers, the five-year survival rate is as high as 90 percent. But other survival statistics are still discouraging-----13 percent for lung cancer, and 2 percent for cancer of the pancreas (胰腺) .
72. _______I have great confidence that by the end of the decade we'll know in vast detail how cancer cells arise, " says microbiologist Robert Weinberg, an expert on cancer. "But, " he cautions, "some people have the idea that once one understands the causes, the cure will rapidly follow. Consider Pasteur. He discovered the causes of many kinds of infections, but it was fifty or sixty years before cures were available. "
73. ______The exact process involved is still mysterious, but the likelihood that many cancers are initiated at the level of genes suggests that we will never prevent all cancers. "Changes are a normal part of the evolutionary process,” says oncologist William Hayward. Environmental factors can never be totally eliminated; as Hayward points out, "We can’t prepare a medicine against universe rays.”
74. ______With as many as 120 varieties in existence, discovering how cancer works is not easy. The researchers made great progress in the early 1970s, when they discovered that oncogenes, which are cancer-causing genes, are inactive in normal cells. Anything from universe rays to radiation to diet may activate an inactive gene, but how remains unknown. If several oncogenes are driven into action, the cell, unable to turn them off, becomes cancerous.
75. ______The prospects for cure, though still distant, are brighter. "First, we need to understand how the normal cell controls itself. Second, we have to determine whether there are a limited number of genes in cells which are always responsible for at least part of the trouble. If we can understand how cancer works, we can reduce its action. "
