第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，共50分）
A
Easter (复活节) is still a great day for worship, candy in baskets and running around
the yard finding eggs, but every year it gets quite a bit worse for bunnies.
And no, not because the kids like to pull their ears. The culprit is climate change,
and some researchers found that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at
least five species of rabbit in the US,
Take the Lower Keys Marsh rabbit, for instance. An endangered species that lives in
the Lower Florida Keys, this species of cottontail is a great swimmer -- it lives on the
islands! -- but it is already severely affected by
development and now by rising sea levels. According to the Center for Biological
Diversity, an ocean level rise of only 0.6 meters will send these ~ys jumping to higher
ground and a 0.9-meter rise would wipe out their habitat (栖息地) completely.
The snowshoe hare, on the other hand, has a color issue. Most of these rabbits change
their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer, each designed to
give them better cover from predators (~I~’) ~ As the number of days with snow
decreases all across the country, however, more and more bunnies are being left in
white fur during brown dirt days of both fall and spring, making them an easier mark
for predators. Researchers know that the color change is controlled by the number of
hours of sunlight, but whether the rabbit will be able to adapt quick enough to survive
is a big question. The National Wildlife Federation has reported that hunters have
noticed their numbers are already markedly down.
American pikas or rock rabbits, a relative of rabbits and hares, might be the first of
these species to go extinct due to climate change. About 7-8 inches long, pikas live
high in the cool. damp mountains west of the Rocky Mountains. As global
temperatures rise, they would naturally migrate (J~2~) to higher ground -- but they
already occupy the mountaintops. They can’t go any higher. The National Wildlife
Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their
habitat heats up.
The volcano rabbit has the same problem. These rabbits live on the slopes of
volcanoes in Mexico, and recent studies have shown that the lower range of their
habitat has already shifted upward about 700 meters, but there are not suitable plants
for them to move higher, so they are stuck in the middle. Scientists are concernedabout their populations.
Native to the US, pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American
West. They are believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world. Their habitats have
been destroyed by development. Several populations, such as the Columbia Basin
pygmy, almost went extinct and were saved by zoo breeding programs. Pygmy rabbits
also rely on winter cover by digging tunnels through the snow to escape predators, but
lesser snowfall is leaving them exposed.
All of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume this Easter.
41. The writer mentions Easter at the beginning of the passage in order to
A. show the importance of Easter Day B. introduce the issue about bunnies
C. remind people of Easter traditions D. discuss the relationship between Easter
and bunnies
42. The word “culprit” (Paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to_________
A. criminal B. judge C. victim D. producer
43. According to the passage, some rabbits can now be easily discovered by predators
because they
A. are exposed to more skillful hunters
B. have moved to habitats with fewer plants
C. haven’t adapted themselves to climate change
D. can’t change their fur color into white in the fall and the spring
44. The problem faced by volcano rabbits and rock rabbits is that
A. both are affected by less snow B. both are affected by rising sea levels
C. neither can find enough food D. neither can migrate to higher places
45. Which best describes the writer’s tone in the passage?
A. Approving. B. Concerned. C. Enthusiastic. D. Doubtful.
B

Two friends have an argument that bleaks up their friendship forever, even though
neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen
over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report
on youth violence, "In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and
adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of
violence". Given that this is the case, why aren't students taught to manage conflict the
way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?
First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on
violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent
incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱). For example, a
fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each
lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to
violence. The problem isn't in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the
conflict.
Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden
rule of conflict resolution (解决) stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she
should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words, name-
calling, and accusation only add fuel to the emotional fir On the other hand, soft words
spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.
After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy for conflict
resolution; listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One
person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without
interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the
speaker's position. Then the two people should change roles.
Finally, students need f. consider what they are hearing. This doesn't mean trying
to figure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real
issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match
over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other
person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such
as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid off As the issue
becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn't, careful
thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.
There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn't mean there needs to be
violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to
Educators for Social Responsibility, "64 percent of the teachers reported less physical
violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student
cooperation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves". Learning to
resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends,. teachers. parents, bosses, and
coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in
schools across the country.50. This article is mainly about__.
A. the lives of school children B. the cause of arguments in schools

As a young boy, I sometimes traveled the country roads with my dad. He was a
rural mill carrier, and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him. Driving through
the countryside was always an adventure: There were animals to see, people to visit,
and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad did.
In the spring, Dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens, and when 1 was a boy it
was such a fun to stick your finger 'through one of the holes of the boxes and let the
baby birds peck on your fingers.
On Dad' s final day of work, it took him well into the evening to complete his
rounds because at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailbox to
thank him for his friendship and his years of service. "Two hundred and nineteen
mailboxes on my route." he used to say, "and a story at every one. " One lady had no
mailbox, so Dad took the mail in to her every day because she was nearly blind. Once
inside, he read her mail and helped her pay her bills.
Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail. One note left in a
mailbox read. "Nat, take these eggs to Marian; she's baking a cake and doesn't have any
eggs. " Mailboxes might be buried in the snow, or broken, or lying on the groom:. bat
the mail was always delivered On cold days Dad might find one of his customers
waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate. A young wrote letters but had no stamps,
so she left a few button on the envelope in the mailbox; Dad paid for the stamps. One
businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the
bank. Once, the amount came to 8 32,000.A dozen years ago, when I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of
Dad’s death, the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories. I
thought I knew them all, but that wasn't the case.
As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles, one on each side of the street. When my
dad was around, those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground.
One box was painted green and the other was red, and each had a long narrow hole at
the top with white lettering: SANTA CLAUS, NORTH POLE. For years children had
dropped letters to Santa through those holes.
I made a turn at the comer and drove past the post office and across the railroad
tracks to our house. Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table when I heard footsteps.
There, at the door, stood Frank Townsend, Dad's postmaster and great friend for many
years. So we all sat down at the table and began to tell stories.
At one point Frank looked at me with tears in his eyes. " What are we going to do
about the letters this Christmas?" he asked.
"The letters?"
'I guess you never knew. "
"Knew what?"
" Remember, when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to Santa in
those green and red boxes on Main Street? It was your dad who answered all those
letters every year. "
I just sat there with tears in my eyes. It wasn’t hard for me to imagine Dad sitting
at the old table in our basement reading those letters and answering each one. I have
since spoken with several of the people who received Christmas letters during their
childhood, and they told me how amazed they were that Santa had known so much
about their homes and families.
For me, just knowing that story about my father was the gift of a lifetime.

第二节 下面文章中有5处（第61~65题）需要添加小标题，请从以下选项中选出

B. Escape Now and Then
C. Separate Your Actions
D. Allow Yourself to Be Weak
E. Relieve Pressure by Firmly Saying " No"
F. Stop Expecting Everything to Be Perfect
How to Simplify Your Life
Less is more. This is why we say: reduce things by half instead of doubling them,
get rid of junk instead of piling it up, relax instead of stressing, slow down instead of
speeding up. Apply these principles in your everyday life in a conscious way. You will
then find yourself well along on your journey to simplification.
61._____
When you concentrate on one task, you find you have energy that you didn't even
know you had. Just imagine: you arc at a fair and you have to carry two heavy pigs
over 100 yards. If you keep grabbing one and then the other, it will take forever,
because one of them will keep slipping out from under your arm and running off. But if
you tie one pig in a place, pick up the other, gather all your strength and make a dash
for the finish line, pause for a moment, run bock and get the other one, and with great
determination, carry the second pig to the finish line, then you can be sure of succcss.
62. ______
The pressure at work is on the increase in all occupations. In the modem nuclear
family, the expectations that formerly would have been shared among all the relatives
are now concentrated on the individual partner.
If you have the feeling that 24 hours per day are not enough for nil the things you
need to do, then it’s not because the day has too few hours, but because you have too
many activities. A simple fact that overloaded people often tend to forget. The solution
is equally simple; refuse to accept so many work assignments in your private life or
your working life.
63. _____
“I can handle stress” is regarded as a positive statement in the world of work.
People who can handle stress are given more and more to cope with — until one day
they break.
Pay careful attention to the signs that tell you that you arc under more stress than
you can cope with. These signals came from various areas of life. You become ill, oryour work efficiency decreases.
If you have any of these symptoms, change your life goals and decrease your
tolerance of stress. Say quite openly, "I can't manage that. "
64. _____
"If only I were slimmer, more beautiful, richer, more clever, then I would be
happier. " This is a dream that makes a lot of people ill, depressed, and unhappy. Life
has its flaws, defects, comets, and edges. Only those who accept this reality can lead a
really full life.
Of course there are activities in which errors are dangerous; driving a car, crossing
the road. But life doesn't consist entirely of these things. In among them there is a lot of
room for small and large mistakes.
65. _____
Successful people ail have their own places where they can withdraw in order to
work. Find out which places improve your creativity. For me it's the train. When I
know that I'm going to be traveling for four hours without phone calls and people
knocking on my door, I find my mind is free and I can read or write complex articles.
There can be problems working on the train, of course if the person sitting opposite
:
you keeps talking away, or if train trips make you tired (some people fall asleep after a
few miles).
