第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Have you ever spent an afternoon in the backyard, maybe grilling or 21．（6分）enjoying a basketball game, when suddenly you notice that everything goes quiet? There is an old phrase “calm before the storm”， often used in a situation—a quiet period just before a great activity or excitement. According to our own experience, we know there is actually calm before the storm. But what causes this calm? And is it always calm before the storm? Let's hear what scientists have to say.

A period of calm happens in a particular kind of storm, the simplest kind of storm—a single－cell thunderstorm. In this type of thunderstorm, there is usually only one main updraft, which is warm, damp air and drawn from places near the ground. Storms need warm and damp air as fuel, so they typically draw that air in from surrounding environment. Storms can draw in the air that fit their need from all directions—even from the direction in which the storm is traveling.

As the warm, damp air is pulled into a storm system, it leaves a low－pressure vacuum(真空) coming after. The rising air meets the cold dry air that has already existed in the storm clouds, thus the temperature of the warm, damp air drops, and the water vapour(水蒸汽) in it changes into tiny drops that are a precondition of rain. These drops accumulate and build on larger particles like dust, until they grow large enough to form raindrops.

This warm, damp air keeps moving upwards, but it becomes cooler and drier during its trip through cloud. When it reaches the top of the cloud, the air gets spit out(被挤出) at the top. This air is sent rolling out over the big thunderclouds. From there, the air goes down. Warm and dry air is relatively stable, and once it covers a region, that air, in turn, causes the calm before a storm.

Most thunderstorms, though, don't start with calm. That's because most are actually groups of storms with complex wind patterns. There's so much air moving up

B．when; that

and down storm groups that the calm before the storm never happens. Instead, before the storm, it might be really windy!

1、Which best fits the description of a particular kind of storm? A．A storm with air drawn from every direction. B．A thunderstorm without strong winds. C．A thunderstorm with a single shape.

D．A storm fueled by moving air from the ground.

2、What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Cold and dry air. C．Cold and damp air.

B．Warm and damp air. D．Warm and dry air.

3、Which does the writer most likely agree to? A．Presence of the calm relies on stable air. B．Storm happens without air moving up and down. C．The drier the air is, the bigger the storm will be. D．Not all thunderstorms start with the calm. 4、What is the passage mainly about? A．Causes and effects of a heavy storm. B．An explanation of the calm before a storm. C．A personal experience of a heavy storm. D．A brief description of a peaceful storm.

22．（8分） When you are sitting in class, have you ever drawn pictures in the margins (页边的空白处) of your notebooks? If so, you are doodling. Many people think of doodling as a distraction (分心) from more important things. But it might be just the opposite.

One study shows that doodling may help you remember things you hear 29% more. Besides, doodling can help you think creatively. Walking away from a problem to draw might actually help you solve it. When you come back, you’ll have a fresh perspective and figure out an answer more quickly.

An author named Sunni Brown wrote a book on doodling. She argues that doodling

is a tool that can help people think. In fact, she runs a business that helps companies improve organization and planning through doodling. Brown believes doodling is helpful because it includes many ways of learning. You learn in four ways: seeing, hearing, reading or writing, and through movement. The more ways you use, the better you learn. And when you doodle while listening to a lecture, you use all four.

You might think that being good at drawing is important for doodling. But if the point of doodling is to help you think, then it doesn’t matter what the picture looks like. Even if you’re not an artist, doodling can help you. So next time you need help focusing, pick up a pen and doodle away!

1、The passage mainly tells us the ________ of doodling. A．advantages C．effects

B．disadvantages D．problems

2、What does the underlined word “perspective” probably mean in Paragraph 2? A．体验 C．困扰

B．观点 D．机会

3、How does Sunni Brown feel about doodling? A．It helps remember better. C．It involves four ways of learning.

B．It helps think creatively. D．It needs drawing skills.

4、According to the text, it is helpful to doodle when ________. A．you want to focus your attention. C．you wonder in the park.

B．you have a conversation. D．you watch a movie.

5、Where is the passage possibly taken from? A．A book review. C．A student textbook.

B．A message board. D．A science magazine.

23．（8分）There are some places in the world that one wants to return again and again. After my first visit to Boracay, Philippines, in March of last year, I knew that I would return soon. I was there again in April this year.

It was on the island that I first tried kite-surfing. The Bulabog Beach on the eastern side of Boracay has many wind-surfing and kite-surfing sports centers. I randomly chose a center, which happened to be an affiliation(附属机构) of International Kiteboarding Organization.

The organization has training centers around the world, and some of its courses are

tailored for beginners like me. The center on Boracay has different courses, from recreational to professional. In the recreational category, trainees have to do the \"discovery\" level before they go on to more advanced levels.

My instructor Brian, who was from the United States, strictly followed the center's rules about levels, and began the training by asking me to set up the kite on the sand, which was the very first step at the ground level of the \"discovery\" course.

I had a teammate, and we both couldn't wait to have the feeling of riding with the wind on the surface of the water. But we had to practice at length the various skills for assessing the direction of the wind and the move-ments of our bodies.

It was there in March, which was still the windy season on the island. Because of the winds, the Philippines were important on the ancient marine (海上的) trade route. They call the wind Amihan, or trade winds.

From May to October, the Amihan wind is channeled through the hills on the northern and southern ends of the island from the east onshore, and onto the Bulabog Beach on the eastern coast of the island.

1、Do you think why the author returned to Boracay? A．Because it is a small island in the Philippines. B．Because he intended to settle down there. C．Because the place was very attractive.

D．Because the kite-surfing on this island was rather exciting. 2、What does the underlined word \"tailored\" in Paragraph 3 mean? A．lost B．known C．cancelled D．designed 3、What kind of person is Brian?

A．Easy-going. B．Strict. C．Dull. D．Friendly. 4、Why did the Philippines call the wind \"trade winds\"? A．Because the Philippines started to trade in the windy season. B．Because the winds made the Philippines active in the ancient time. C．Because the Philippines had been relying on the winds to trade.

D．Because the winds benefited the Philippines a lot in the ancient maritime trade.

Susan Sontag (1933—2004) was one of the most noticeable figures in 24．（8分）the world of literature. For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know

everything—to read every book worth reading, to see every movie worth seeing. When she was still in her early 30s, publishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review, she appeared as the symbol of American culture life, trying hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art. With great effort and serious judgment, Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture.

Seriousness was one of Sontag’s lifelong mottos, but at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poorly-educated were obvious, she argued for a true openness to the pleasure of pop culture. In Notes Camp, the 19 essay that first made her name, she explained what was then a little-known set of difficult understandings, through which she could not have been more famous. Notes on Camp, she wrote, represents “a victory of ‘form’ over ‘content’, ‘beauty’ over ‘morals’”.

By conviction(信念) she was a sensualist(感觉论者), but by nature she was a moralist, and in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s, it was the latter side of her that came forward. In Illness as Metaphor—published in 1978, after she suffered cancer—she argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed (被压抑的) personalities, a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease. In fact, re-examining old concepts was her lifelong habit.

In America, her story of a 19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California, won the National Book Award in 2000. But what made her achieve lasting fame was a tireless, all-purpose cultural view.

“Sometimes,” she once said, “I feel that, in the end, all I am really defending… is the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness.” And in the end, she made us take it seriously too.

1、It is implied but not stated in the first paragraph that Sontag . A．was a symbol of American cultural life B．developed world literature, film and arts C．published many essays about world culture

D．kept pace with the newest development of world culture 2、She first won her name through .

A．publishing essays in magazines like Partisan Review B．her story of a Polish actress

C．her explanation of a set of difficult understandings

D．her book Illness as Metaphor

3、From the works Susan published in the 1970s and 1980s, we can learn that . A．she was more of a moralist than a sensualist B．she was more of a sensualist than a moralist

C．she believed repressed personalities mainly led to illness D．She would like to re-examine old positions

4、According to the passage, Susan Sontag would agree to the ideas except . A．We should try hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art. B．Cancer can be defeated because it is a special problem of repressed personalities. C．‘Form’ should be over ‘content’, ‘beauty’ should be over ‘morals’. D．We should defend the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness. 5、What is the passage mainly about? A．A lifelong motto: seriousness.

B．Susan Sontag is the symbol of American culture. C．How Susan Sontag became famous.

D．An introduction to Susan Sontag and her motto.

25．（10分） Ten years ago, I set out to examine luck. I wanted to know why some people were always in the right place at the right time, while others consistently experienced ill fortune. I placed advertisements in national newspapers asking for people who felt consistently lucky or unlucky. Hundreds of extraordinary men and women volunteered for my research. Over the years I have interviewed them, monitored their lives and had them take part in various experiments.

In one of the experiments, I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper, asking them to look through it and tell me how many photographs were inside. I had secretly placed a large message halfway through the newspaper, saying, “Tell the experimenter you have seen this and you will win $50.” This message took up half of the page and was written in type that was more than two inches high. It was staring everyone in the face, but the unlucky people tended to miss it and the lucky people tended to spot it.

Unlucky people are generally more nervous than lucky people, and this anxiety affects their ability to notice the unexpected. As a result, they miss opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else. They go to gatherings concentrating

on finding their perfect partners and miss opportunities to make good friends. They look through newspapers determined to find certain types of job advertisements and miss other types of jobs.

Lucky people are more relaxed and open, and therefore see what is there rather than just what they are looking for. My research eventually showed that lucky people are skilled at noticing opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition (直觉), are open to new experiences, and adopt a never-say-die attitude that transforms bad luck into good luck.

1、What’s the purpose of the author’s research? A．To discover what luck means to people. B．To find lucky people and unlucky people. C．To distinguish between good luck and bad luck. D．To figure out why people are always lucky or unlucky.

2、Why did the unlucky people miss the message in the experiment? A．There was too much information to be read in detail. B．They were too focused on looking for photographs. C．It took too much time to go through newspapers. D．The words were too small to be noticed. 3、What leads to lucky people’s good fortune? A．Their ability to spot opportunities. C．Their ability to communicate.

B．Their ability to become relaxed. D．Their ability to make friends.

4、What’s the key message of the last paragraph? A．What lucky people are looking for. B．How lucky people generate good luck. C．What lucky people can do with opportunities. D．How lucky people transform bad luck into good luck.
