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)
A
There was a man Jack who was the owner of the only hair salon in his little town. He cut and styled the hair of almost everybody in the town and his business was quite successful.
Then, a big modern hair salon moved to his town right across the street from his little shop. This new, big salon advertised in the newspapers and posted signs all over the town that read, “$6 haircuts! Everything for only $6!”
Soon almost all his customers began going to the new salon across the street for $6 haircuts. The owner of the old hair salon knew he could never afford to beat the big new salon’s price of only $6. But then he thought of a way to turn things around. And he won his customers and business back soon. He just asked a local sign company to paint him a big sign whi ch he placed in front of his hair salon. It read, “We fix $6 haircuts!”
We all have proble ms and go through tough times. It’s the people who respond and deal with those problems positively(积极地) will succeed in life. It’s not luck that controls your life. It’s your own choices that make you happy and successful. Remember: Things turn out best for those people who make the best of the way things turn out. No matter what happens these people keep going, because sooner or later “tough people win over tough times”.
Remember, the same heat that melts butter also hardens clay(泥土). The difference is in
problems and tough times in your life? No matter which way the ball bounces(弹跳), it’s still your game.
21. The new salon attracted customers mainly by _____.
A. advertising itself in the newspapers
B. offering a very low price for haircuts
C. locating its shop close to the old salon
D. providing good service and environment
22. What can be inferred from Para. 3?
A. Jack’s haircutting skill was better than the big salon’s.
B. The big salon moved out of the town at last.
C. Jack also had a local sign company.
D. Jack lowered his price for haircuts.
23. The underlined sentence probably means “_____”.
A. butter is as hard as clay
B. we should face difficulties with courage
C. a problem can be solved in several ways
D. different choices lead to different results
B

India is known for many colorful and fun festivals. But none a re as popular as the festival of lights, Diwali, which is also called Deepavali.
The celebration began on October 21st, with Dhanteras. For those who love shopping, this is the best day of the celebration. That’s because in addition to honoring Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth, the day is also considered lucky to buy everything — from gold and silver ornaments(装饰品) to new clothes.
The following day is Kali Chaudas or Narak Chaturdashi. For some Indians it is celebrated with good food and fireworks. For others, it is the time to drive out bad spirits from homes. No matter how it is celebrated, everyone’s mind is already focused(聚焦) on the big day that comes after — Diwali!
Diwali begins with a visit to temples where prayers(祷告) will be done. Then families and friends get together and celebrate by exchanging gifts and sweets. Those who missed the opportunity to buy gold on Dhanteras can make up for it on this equally lucky day. In the evening, households light up their homes with oil lamps and prepare delicious Indian food. Then starts the real fun — fireworks! What makes t he displays exciting is that everyone gets to create his/her own show by lighting up their favorite fireworks.
For Indians, Diwali also marks the end of the year. They will celebrate the first day of the New Year the f ollowing day.
The final day of the festival honors the relationships between brothers and sisters and is celebrated with more special food and prayers.
For kids, Diwali is like Christmas, except earlier. They get a week’s vacation from school! It is no wonder that most kids consider Diwali the best festival of all.
28. On Kali Chaudas, people will do the following EXCEPT _____.
A. eat great food
B. play with fireworks
C. honor Lakshmi
D. drive out bad spirits
29. The underlined part “make up for it” in Para. 4 probably refers to “_____”.
A. go shopping
B. receive gold
C. make prayers
D. celebrate Dhanteras
30. The last day of the festival is mainly for _____.
A. relatives to visit each other
B. neighbors to improve relationships
C. friends to meet and have fun together
D. brothers and sisters to deepen their relationships
31. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Diwali is the longest festival in India.
B. Indian New Year starts from October 24th.
C. The ce lebration of Diwali lasts seven days.
D. Indians think gold can bring them good luck.
D
I was driving one day with my girls in the car. A crossroads was ahead. The fog was thick that day, and as I looked at the traffic light, I couldn’t figure out what it meant. The light was green, and my mind was blank. Panic(恐慌) rose in my heart — what was I supposed to do: go or stop?
“What does a green light mean?” I asked my girls.
They both shouted, “Go! Go! Mom, go!”
So I went. This was the first time I had noticed mistake in memory or judgment. And this was a turning point — I gave the kids, who were both licensed drivers, permission(许可) to “call me out” on my driving. If I seemed too tired, they could tell me to pull over and take over the driving.
I don’t know if other parents with such illnesses feel like failures. I know that I have felt that way many times. More and more frequently, I find my kids taking care of me. They find the memory loss and lack of concentration very boring. My younger daughter often questioned how I never used to watch the same movie twice but now I’m okay with watching them again and again.
My girls have much more things to do than taking care of their sick mom. I have w atched my girls take responsibility when they should not have to, and they do with love, kindness and compassion(同情), without complaint. I see how compassionate they are to others who are ill like me. These are some powerful blessings.
32. According to Para. 1, at the crossroads, the author _____.
A. was at a loss what to do
B. worried about the thick fog
C. couldn’t see the traffic light
D. felt nervous at the heavy traffic
33. What happened to the author after that day at the crossroads?
A. She gave up driving.
B. Her daughters began to take care of her.
C. Her daughters d idn’t allow her to drive again.
D. She was required to get a new driving license.
34. By mentioning the underlined sentence, the author wants to show that _____.
A. she couldn’t p ay full attention to movies
B. her younger daughter was impatient
C. she suffers from her memory loss
D. she likes watching movies
35. The passage mainly tells us about _____.
A. a car accident on a foggy day
B. a moving story about a big family
C. two daughters’ love for their mother
D. a mother’s regret for bringing her daughters trouble
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 张萍
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Last September, I was faced with my sixth new class. I became used to teaching and no longer feared. 36 At the end of the first day, several parents came to see me. They had a problem with the school’s arrangement of a school trip. I didn’t know the details, so I couldn’t have the
answers they needed. After being questioned and laughed at, they realized that I wasn’t the correct person to deal with their problem and left, except one parent who wanted a word on a different matter.
This parent said her child was dyslexic(阅读困难的) and found reading a challenge(挑战).
37 However, I’d already been troubled by those parents and didn’t want to suggest something that couldn’t be done. After all, it was the first day. So I explained that I needed to work first with the student in order to develop a plan. 38 It was not until I made a promise that she felt willing to leave, causing me feeling upset and discouraged.
Throughout the year, I was often questioned and laughed at by the parents and was often spoken to rudely by them. However, I always kept my cool. I tried my best to know about the child’s needs and made sure that I know about all of my students. 39 I worked with other teachers to help the student progress. By the end of the year, the child had made great progress and had found a love of reading. I even got a sincere thank-you card from the parents. After the unhappy experience, I know it was nice to finish the year in a positive way. From this, I learnt that teaching is about making each child the best learni ng possible and not being discouraged by a parent’s hostility(敌意). 40
A. She was not happy with this.
B. But that year started differently.
C. It seemed that everything went well.
D. I made a good plan for the dyslexic child.
E. The child’s progress is just teacher’s pleasure.
F. She wanted to know how I would help her child.
G. Nothing in the world is more exciting than achieving success.
