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。

ADue to the increasing number of violence acts produced in schools all over the world, more and more parents prefer to have their children educated at home rather than at school. This way they can ensure their safety and well-being, although teachers and school representatives are trying to improve the situation in schools by increasing the number of the persons in charge of the safety of the students.The main reason for violence acts are the films and cartoons that fill the children's time．They want to do everything they watch on TV and never think of the consequences, and they may hurt a classmate or a teacher．On the other hand, parents are not fully satisfied with the children's results obtained in classes and they consider private classes would have better results．When a teacher has to watch 30 students in class he can't probably see what each of them is doing, how he is writing, or if he understands the explanations．At home the teacher can explain in details everything the child doesn't understand as many times as he considers proper．And many times the child grows fond of the teacher at home, who becomes his best friend, and who helps him whenever he needs someone to talk to．However, the best solution would be a mixture between the education received at school and that at home, because school makes children communicate and socialize．Keeping a child at home for fear there might happen something bad to him only makes the child's character weak and prevents him from knowing what real life is．Staying in a crystal ball only does harm to the child．All in all, schools have been created to help children, not to harm them, so it's best to keep children in these special places, where they learn, laugh, have fun and make new friends．21. The writer's purpose in writing the text is to________________.A. teach parents the ways to keep their children safeB. show solutions to developing children's characterC. analyze an education problem and give opinionsD. explain the main reason for violence acts in schools22. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Advantages and Disadvantages of Private ClassesB. Who is to Blame, Parents or Schools?C. Which Is Better, School Study or Home Study?D. The Relationship between Teachers and Children23. What does "a crystal ball" in the passage refer to?A. A toy that can be used for entertainment．B. A safe and comfortable environment．C. A round object that is made of crystal．D. An obstacle that is hard to overcome．24. We call infer from the passage that___________________________________.A. violence TV programs have bad effects on children's behaviorB. the teacher at home is more patient than the teacher at schoolC. children today are weak from lack of sense of right and wrongD. there are too many students in class for a teacher to teachBI was desperately nervous about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll bu y another. But the insurancepayout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car—I worked out that, with the loan (贷款) we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as £600 a month.And that’s when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.) My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity.Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other citizens do too—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.25. The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ______.A. most families chose to go car-freeB. he was hurt in a terrible car accidentC. the cost of a new car was too muchD. the traffic jam was unbearable for him26. What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan?A. Supportive.B. Disapproving.C. Optimistic.D. Unconcerned.27. What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends’ opinion?A. Argue against it.B. Take their advice.C. Think it over.D. Leave it alone.28. What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?A. Life cannot go without a car.B. Life without a car is a little bit hard.C. His life gets improved without a car.D. A car-free life does not suit everyone.CWould it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around neces sary nutrition “depending on who needs it”.Nitrogen（氮）and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi（真菌）networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons （神经元）in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which th ey feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.“We didn't take any notice of it.” Simard says sadly . “Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them a chance.” If we could put across the messa ge to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.29. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB. Young Trees Are In Need Of ProtectionC. Trees Are More Complex Than You ThinkD. Trees Contribute To Our Society30. In Simard's opinion, trees _______ .A. depend on each otherB. protect their own wealthC. compete for survivalD. provide support for dying trees31. We can learn from the passage thatA. “mother trees” are usually of no use to other trees.B. Charles Darwin had the same thought as Simard.C. people know much about the complex “tree societies”.D. if “mother trees” are cut down, the survival for the entire forest will be affected.32. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to .A. how trees grow oldB. how “tree societies” workC. how forestry industry developsD. how young trees surviveDA developer edition of Sony’s augmented reality smart glasses will go on sale in ten countries next month, the tech giant has announced.Pre-orders for the Smart Eyeglass, costing $840 (£620), are now being taken in the UK and Germany, with Japan and the US to follow shortly. The black-framed glasses are compatible (兼容的) with recent Android operating systems. Last month Google announced that it was withdrawing its smart glasses for redevelopment. Sony’s initial model will come with a software development kit to encourage people to design apps for it, the company said.The glasses, which weigh 77g, contain an accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, image and brightness sensors, 3-megapixel camera and a microphone. They also come with a controller, designed to be attached to clothing, which contains a speaker, touch sensor and the device’s battery. Text is displayed in front of the wearer in monochrome (单一的)green.Apple chief executive（董事长）Tim Cook has been open about his dislike of glasses as a wearable device. “We always thought that glasses were not a smart move, from a point of view that people would not really want to wear them,”he told the New Yorker. “They were intrusive (闯入的), instead of pushing technology to the background, as we have always believed.”Stuart Miles, founder of tech site Pocket-lint, said: “I think Sony is wasting their time, energy and effort.”“Google Glass obviously needed a complete rethink... I can’t see how somethingthick-rimmed and more invasive-looking than Google Glass is going to catch on.“People are keen on wearables like fitness bands and watches, but they care about their faces. Wearing something on your head is a lot stronger than wearing something on your arm,”he added. “The industry keeps pushing it but consumers just don’t want it.”33. In which countries people can get the Smart Eyeglass first?A. The US and Japan.B. The US and the UK.C. The UK and Japan.D. Germany and the UK.34. The purpose of this passage is to __________.A. introduce an accelerometer developed by the Google companyB. tell the people that the Smart Eyeglass will go on saleC. people like the glasses very muchD. the Smart Eyeglass is less than 840 yuan35. What can be inferred from what Stuart Miles said?A. He supports Sony’s efforts to develop the Smart Eyeglass.B. He cares more about his clothes and face.C. He dislikes the Smart Eyeglass.D. He really wants to wear them.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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项。
