第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5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。
How can you find out what is going on inside a person’s body without opening the patient s body up? Regular
X-rays can show a lot. CAT scans can show even more. They can give a complete view of body organs.
What is a CAT scan? CAT stands for a kind of machine. It is a special X-ray machine that gets a 360-degree
picture of a small area of a patient’s body.
Doctors use X-rays to study and determine diseases and injuries within the body. X-rays can find a foreign
object inside the body or take pictures of some inside organs to be X-rayed.
A CAT scanner，however，uses a group of X-rays to give a cross-sectional (横截面) view of a specific part
of the body. A fine group of X-rays is scanned across the body and around the patient from many different
directions. A computer studies the information from each direction and produces a clear cross-sectional picture on a
screen. This picture is then photo-graphed for later use. Several cross sections, taken one after another，can give
clear “photos” of the entire body or of any body organs. The latest CAT scanners can even give clear pictures of
active，moving organs，just as a fast-action camera can “stop the action”, giving clear pictures of what appears
unclear to the eye. And because of the 360-degree pictures, CAT scans show clear and complete views of organs in
a manner that was once only shown during operation or examination of a dead patient.
Frequent appearance before X-rays can cause skin burns, cancer or other damage to the body. Yet CAT scans
actually don’t cause the patient to more radiation than regular X-rays do. CAT scans can also be done without
getting something harmful into the patient, so they are less risky than regular X-rays.CAT scans provide exact, detailed information. They can quickly find such a thing as bleeding inside the brain.
They are helping to save lives.
21. The underlined words “a foreign object” in Paragraph 3 most probably refer to .
A. a badly injured part inside the body
B. a new thing that is unknown to the doctor
C. a strange cell that has grown in the body
D. a thing that gets inside the body by chance
22. What is the special use of the latest CAT scanners?
A. It can take pictures of inside organs.
B. It provides clear photos of moving organs.
C. It won’t cause serious skin bums, cancer or other damage to the body.
D. It helps to find out illness inside a person’s body without opening it up.
23. What can we infer from this text?
A. Patients in front of CAT may suffer a bit of radiation,
B. Doctors need no opening-up of the body with CAT scanners.
C. CAT scanners are more expensive than regular X-ray machines.
D. CAT scanners can take photos of either the whole body or a part of it.
24. What can be the best title of this text?
A. The newest medical invention.
B. A special X-ray machine to save lives.
C. How to avoid the damage from X-rays.
D. Advantages and disadvantages of CAT scanners.
Everyone feels like winding down in December. Even if you do not celebrate Christmas, the New Year is
approaching and most people take a few days' break. In many workplaces this feeling of “mission accomplished” is
accompanied by an established tradition: the office party.
In boom (繁荣) times these can be truly lavish (奢侈的) affairs. A Bloomberg event in 2000 was said to have
cost £ 1 m (then $ 1. 5m).
Few companies today desire the publicity that tends to follow such an event. The natural question is, if you are
spending that amount on a party, how much are you charging clients (客户)? Companies are rightly more sensitive
than they were about the risks involved when workers lose their restraint (约束) after consuming too much alcohol.
A survey of American companies found that 59% had discussed, or planned to discuss, the dangers of
“inappropriate celebrating” with staff.
To avoid these dangers, the chief operating officer of BDO, an accountancy firm, has suggested that twochaperones (陪同人员) attend seasonal celebrations. Other accounting firms have suggested holding daytime
events rather than after-hours drinks parties.
There is a lot to be said for daytime celebrations. First, it makes attendance easier for anyone caring for small
children, or elderly relatives, and who thus finds it difficult to stay out late. Second, people are likely to be a bit
more restrained in their alcohol consumption at lunchtime than in the evenings. And third, celebrating during
working hours feels like a real break from duties; attending after work seems more like a responsibility.
Most workers don't expect their seasonal event to turn into a big party; they are just hoping to avoid feeling
bored. Only a quarter looked forward to their Christmas event and 71% would rather have a small cash bonus than
a noisy party.
Naturally, there is an economic answer and it is specialisation. Think of Adam Smith's pin factory where
everyone plays their different part; let everyone have the party they want. Some may want to down the white wine
but others may be happier only to eat the cake.
In short, it is easier to enjoy yourself if you can do so in your own fashion. And that may include not partying
at all. If managers think staff would rather spend time at home than attend, let them; the company will save money.
25. What can we learn about the office party from the first three paragraphs?
A. It may raise doubts from the public
B. It can be costly yet good value for money
C. It should be banned to avoid risky behavior
D. It will become a new trend in the workplace
26. Which of the following is an advantage of daytime celebrations?
A. We can get rid of some unwanted duties
B. We can drink alcohol to our heart's content
C. We will strengthen our sense of responsibility
D. We will find it convenient to look after family members
27. Why is the Adam Smith's pin factory mentioned in Paragraph 7?
A. To recommend a good place for celebration
B. To stress the importance of respecting personal preference
C. To give a good example of a lavish celebration
.
D To advise people to visit the factory as a celebration
28. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A. Stop celebrating Christmas B. Let them eat Christmas cake
C. Give them a formal celebration D. Hold an office party to avoid duties
Coming of age is that time in each of our lives when we begin to see the possibilities. The world opens up inways that matures our vision, gives us a sense of responsibility and gratitude. Connor Thomson had just started
college and loved being at that phase in his life where he could eat all the pizza he wanted, yet engage in adult
conversations with his parents about the responsibility to make life better for others. Connor’s optimism was
striking. There was so much he could do, so much he could become. But it all ended one night when Connor was
distracted(分心的) while driving in a Colorado canyon.
Connor’s father, David, took it particularly hard. A father sees more than his own traits in his son; he sees
greater possibilities than he achieved. Taking that hope away left David feeling aimless. But Connor’s optimism
was one of those traits passed on to him by his father. So David got to work. First, he established the Honor Connor
Scholarship Fund to reward students who served in the community. Next, he went to work creating a research-
based curriculum that educates University of Colorado Boulder students and their families about the dangers of
texting and driving.
David now works with lecturers at various colleges and high schools, ensuring young minds understand how
statically at risk they are when they text and drive. He’s become a passionate advocate for preparing young people
to drive safely and not subconsciously reach for their phones while they’re at the wheel. It includes a very simple
three-part commitment: to not text or use social media while driving, speak out if riding with a driver who is
distracted and encourage friends and family to drive phone-free.
While every constructive effort reminds David of the loss he suffered, he is encouraged knowing that more
young people with so much to of r the word will be around to do good. “I get to be a part of what Connor would
have done,” says David.
29. Why does the author mention Coming of age?
A. To display Connor’s optimism. B. To convey his regret for Connor.
C. To offer the family background. D. To show Connor’s academic talent.
30. Which of the following can best describe David?
A. Optimistic and helpful. B. Self-centered but determined.
C. Thoughtful and daring. D. Cool-minded but reasonable.
31. What does David now focus on?
A. Managing his own company. B. Keeping the three-part promise.
C. Saving people from distracted driving. D. Keeping students focused on school.
32. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. How a death could affect a whole family.
B. What lesson we can get from an accident.
C. A young man’s life claimed by careless driving.D. One father turning his loss into helping others.

Facing Lake Michigan, it offers beaches, wildlife signs and Lincoln Park Zoo, where you can see gorillas(大猩猩)
and polar bears free of charge.
Lombard－Oak Brook

the traditional attraction of old-time America. It’s known for its every year’s Lilac Festival(丁香节), and for the
“Little Orphan Annie” house, where the red-headed character was dreamt up by Harold Gray. The nearby village of
Oak Brook is even more pleasant, and known for its golf courses and polo(水球) club.
Magnificent Mile－River North
Forming part of the always busy Michigan Avenue, Magnificent Mile is the place to shop in Chicago.Fashion

Chicago Fire of 1871. The nearby River North district is well known for its many art galleries.
The Loop－Downtown
Home to the Civic Opera House, the Goodman Theatre,and the Art Institute of Chicago, where American
masterpieces can be found alongside Old Masters, the Loop is worth visiting just for the streets alone. Look up at

One late afternoon I went to the park to relax myself. I sat on a bench (长凳) and leaned back with my legsfully stretched (伸展). My eyes fell upon a pair of cute children. They seemed to be elder sister and younger
brother, hardly five or six years old, I guessed. I watched them as they involved themselves with children’s usual
fun game: hide and seek. Not far away, their mother was reading under a tree, keeping an eye on them from time to
time. The kids’ bright-colored clothes put a barrier to hide and easily one of them was caught by the other. Then
they laughed merrily. I enjoyed their game without being a participant.
The next moment, the little girl came running towards me and hid behind the bench. The moment I looked at
her, she made a sign, “Shh!” putting her finger on her lips. I sat straight and acted as if I didn’t know anything.
After finishing his countdown, the boy searched for the girl here and there. At last, he found her behind me and
said, “Grace, come out! I saw you. ”
Complaining loudly, the girl shouted, “ No Jack, you cheated. Again you have to find me. This is not done. Go
back behind the tree and start counting again. ” The boy turned round and round, clapping his hands and giggling
out “No, no. I did it. You are caught. ” They both started pulling each other. Their mother watched them smilingly.
Suddenly Grace stopped and pulled her brother towards the fence not far away from the bench where I rested.
There on the grass lay a little dog grunting (哼叫) with pain, seemingly injured and homeless.
