第二部分　阅读理解（共25小题，第一节第小题2分，第二节每小题1分；满分45分）

第一节　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（Ａ、Ｂ、Ｃ、Ｄ）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Growing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven. His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties（地方特色菜）in Germany, Spain and France. At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends. Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named Campus Cuisine about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like make drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.

Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says Lieberman’s charisma is key. “Food TV isn’t about food anymore,” says Flay. “It’s about your personality（个性）and finding a way to keep people’s eyeballs on your show.”

But Lieberman isn’t putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new how, Lieberman was back in his won small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company（航空公司）was looking for some one to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy-to-make menu to serve on its flights, Lieberman got the job.

41.     We can learn from the text that Lieberman’s family ____.
A. have relatives in Europe                                B. love cooking at home
C. often hold parties                                         D. own a restaurant

42.     The Food Network got to know Lieberman ____.
A. at one of his parties                                      B. from his teachers     
C. through his taped show                                 D. on a television program

43.     What does the word “charisma” underlined in the text refer to?
A. A natural ability to attract others.                    B. A way to show one’s achievement.
C. Lieberman’s after-class interest.                     D. Lieberman’s fine cooking skill.

44.     Why did the airline company give Lieberman the job?
A. He could prepare meals in a small kitchen.      B. He was famous for his shows on Food TV.
C. He was good at using eggs to make sandwiches.
D. He could cook cheap, delicious and simple meals.

45.     What can we learn about Lieberman from the text?

C. He enjoys traveling around.                           D. He often changes his menus.

B

Some people have the feeling that nothing can be done about their poor reading ability（能力）. They feel hopeless about it. Can you learn to read better, or must you agree that nothing can be done about it?

To be sure, people are different. You cannot to do everything as well as certain other people do. It al the students in a class tried out for basketball, some would be very good players; others would be very poor; and many would be in between. But even the very poor players can become much better players if they are guided in the right way, and with plenty of practice. It is the same with reading. Some seem to enjoy reading and to read well without any special help. Others find reading a slow and tiring job. In between, there are all degrees of reading ability.

Many experiments have shown that just about every poor reader can improve his reading ability. In these experiments, the poor readers were given tests of reading ability. After some of the causes of their poor reading were discovered, they were given special instruction and practice in reading. After a few months, another test of the same kind was given. In nearly all cases, these people had raised their reading scores.

46.     With the example of basketball players, the author shows ____.
A. why certain people are poor readers               B. that there are differences in people’s abilities
C. why some people are good basketball players  D. that good basketball players can be good readers

47.     To improve their reading ability, people should ____.
A. work long and hard                                      B. take different forms of tests
C. have special help and practice                        D. try different reading materials

48.     The experiments mentioned in the text show that ____.
A. good readers seem to enjoy reading                B. almost all poor readers can make progress
C. causes of poor reading are difficult to find out D. tests help people improve their reading ability

C

Odland remembers like it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in Denver. The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman.

Thirty years have passed, but Odland can’t get the memory out of his mind, nor the woman’s kind reaction（反应）. She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odland. “It’s OK. It wasn’t your fault.” When she left the restaurant, she also left the future Fortune 500 CEO（总裁）with a life lesson: You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter.

Odland isn’t the only CEO to have made this discovery. Rather, it seems to be one of those few laws of the land that every CEO learns on the way up. It’s hard to get a dozen CEO’s to agree about anything, but most agree with the Waiter Rule. They say how others treat the CEO says nothing. But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the soul.

Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like, “I could but this place and fire you,” or “I know the owner and I could have you fired.” Those who say such things have shown more about their character（人品）than about their wealth and power.

The CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson. He wrote a best-selling book called Swanson’s Unwritten Rules of Management.

“A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person,” Swanson says. “I will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rude to someone cleaning the tables.”

49.     What happened after Odland dropped the ice cream onto the woman’s dress?
A. He was fired.                                               B. He was blamed.        
C. The woman comforted him.                          D. The woman left the restaurant at once.

50.     Odland leaned one of his life lessons from ____.
A. his experience as a waiter.                             B. the advice given by the CEOs
C. an article in Fortune                                     D. an interesting best-selling book

51.     According to the text, most CEOs have the same opinion about ____.
A. Fortune 500 companies                                B. the Management Rules
C. Swanson’s book                                          D. the Waiter Rule

52.     From the text we can learn that ____.
A. one should be nicer to important people          B. CEOs often show their power before others
C. one should respect others no matter who they are
D. CEOs often have meals in expensive restaurants

D

It is difficult for doctors to help a person with a damaged brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors can’t fix the damage. Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.

Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.

Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he operated on them. He made the monkeys’ blood back to the monkeys’ brains. When the brain’s temperature was 10℃, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.

53.     The biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that ____.
A. the time is too short for doctors                     B. the patients are often too nervous
C. the damage is extremely hard to fix                D. the blood-cooling machine might break down

54.     The brain operation was made possible mainly by ____.
A. taking the blood out of the brain                     B. trying the operation on monkeys first
C. having the blood go through a machine           D. lowering the brain’s temperature

55.     With Dr. White’s new idea, the operation on the damaged brain ____.
A. can last as long as 30 minutes                        B. can keep the brain’s blood warm
C. can keep the patient’s brain healthy                D. can help monkeys do different jobs

56.     What is the right order of the steps in the operations?
a. send the cooled back to the brain                    b. stop the blood to the brain
c. have the blood cooled down                           d. operate on the brain
A. a, b, c, d                  B. c, a, b, d                  C. c, b, d, a                  D. b, c, d, a

Most people want to know how things are made. They honestly admit, however, that they hardly know a thing when it comes to understanding how a piece of music is made. Where a composer（作曲家）begins, how he manages to keep going – in fact, how and when he learns his trade – all are covered in complete darkness. The composer, in short, is a man of mystery（神秘）.

One of the first things the common man wants to know about is the part inspiration（灵感）plays in a composer’s work. He finds it difficult to believe that composers are not much interested in that question. Writing music is as natural for the composer as eating or sleeping for all. Music is something that the composer happens to have been born for.

The composer, therefore, does not say to himself: “Do I feel inspired?” He says to himself: “Do I feel like working today?” And if he feels like working, he does. It is more or less like saying to himself: “Do I feel sleepy?” if you feel sleepy, you go to sleep. If you don’t feel sleepy, you stay up. If the composer doesn’t feel like working, he doesn’t work. It’s as simple as that.

57.     What would be the best title for the text?
A. Composer: a man of mystery                         B. Practice makes good music
C. Relation between sleeping and music              D. Music: product of nature

58.     The words “covered in complete darkness” underlined in Paragraph 1 most probably mean ____.
A. difficult to be made   B. without any light       C. black in color            D. not known

59.     Most people seem to think that a composer ____.
A. finds it difficult to write music                       B. considers it important to have a good rest
C. should like to talk about inspiration                 D. never asks himself very simple quesiotns

60.     The author will most probably agree that composers ____.
A. are born with a gift for music                        B. are people full of mystery
C. work late at night for their music                   D. know a lot about eating and sleeping
