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。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．
Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side. Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more concerned with how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road. Millions of animals die each year on U. S. roads, the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U. S. today. The main reason? Roadkill. "Ecopassages" may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. "These ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can escape being killed," said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Conservation Society. But do animals actually use the ecopassages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway. This showed that the lion used the passage. Builders of some ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals such as grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses. The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animal overpass!
21. The writer uses the example of “ocelots” to show that ______. A. wild animals have become more dangerous B. the driving conditions have improved greatly C. the measure for protecting wildlife fails to work D. an increasing number of animals are killed in road accidents22. From the news story, we know an ecopassage is _______. A. an underground path for cars B. a fence built for the safety of the area C. a bridge for animals to get over a river D. a pass for animals to cross the road23. When the writer says that animals seem “to be catching on”, he means _______. A. animals begin to realize the dangers on the road B. animals begin to learn to use ecopassages C. animals are crossing the road in groups D. animals are increasing in number24. The writer asks visitors and drivers to look around when traveling because ________.
A. wild animals may attack cars B. wild animals may jam the road C. they may see wild animals in the park D. they may see wild animals on ecopassages
B
Each time I see a balloon, my mind flies back to a memory of when I was a six-year-old girl. It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. "Yes, honey. Of course." she said.
"Can we write him a letter?"
She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, "Yes."
My heart jumped. "How? Does the mailman go there?" I asked.
"No, but I have an idea." Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for.
"Just wait, honey. You'll see." Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Mom was doing, and even about what happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face.
She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped the balloon string. We went outside and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining.
"Okay, on the count of three, let go. One, two, three."
The balloon, carrying my letter, darted upward against the rain. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.
Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had never let his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he'd persevere, dart up, and finally transcend this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was hereditary. I prayed to be a balloon.

Around twenty years ago I was going through hard times. I could not find a satisfying job. To my shame, I had to drive a school bus to make ends meet and lived in a friend’s house.
One afternoon, while driving through a quiet suburban (郊外的) neighborhood I was so sad that I kept asking myself “Why has my life become so hard?” “What’s wrong with the world?” Then I pulled over the bus to drop off (让...下车) a little girl and as she passed she handed me a pretty earring, saying she found it on the floor of the bus and I should keep it in case（以防）the owner came to look for it.
In the evening, the owner did come to look for her earring. When I handed it to her, she got very excited and continued saying “Thanks, you’re a real gentleman.” I told her that she should thank the little girl who had found it. She said, “Yes, and you are a good driver, too. What a lovely world it is!” Then she left with satisfaction. I was touched by her last words. I had thought something was wrong with the world just because of my poor condition. In fact, nothing was wrong with the world. I should change my attitude towards life. I should be positive about life.
At first it was hard, and then it got easier. Every day I could find things to make me happy. Then one night there was a phone call for me at my friend’s house from a lady who was a manager in a large hospital. She said she had read my application form and asked me if I would like to work in the hospital. I said yes and got the job. Looking back at the experience I know the most important is to have a positive attitude towards life.
29. We know from the second paragraph that ________.
A. the author cried while driving that afternoon
B. a girl picked up an earring before getting off

30. The author decided to have a change in life because ________.
A. what the earring owner said moved him
B. he didn’t want to be a driver any more
C. his friends helped him become positive
D. he was offered a better job in a hospital
31. When the author got a call from the manager of the hospital, he felt ________.
A. upset B. disappointed C. shocked D. excited
32. What does the author want to show in this passage?
A. Lost things should be returned to the owner.
B. Life is usually hard for the young at the beginning.
C. One should hold a positive attitude towards life.
D. It is not easy to find a good job nowadays.

Nowadays, it is easily to find a student who is nearsighted. What’s worse, the number of nearsighted students are still increasing. On my opinion, there are many reason that can cause nearsightedness. First and foremost, the wrong posture（姿势） will easily result from nearsightedness. Read in the dark places can lead to nearsightedness as well. Moreover, too much reading without a rest can be other important reason. My dear friends, it is high time that we paid attention to protect our eye. The most useful method is to do eye exercises more often and relax for a while after reading. Watching green trees could also do good to the eyes.

Well, I’ll tell you what my goal is for the future. My family has a tradition in politics; my grandpa was once a minister of education, and my father has just retired as a diplomat. My brother is studying in a famous political school. As for me, I’m going to become the first woman president of the country. And I’ll tell you exactly how I plan to do that. First, I’m going to go to college, and I’m going to study history there. I think that’s really important if you’re going to be in politics. Second, while I’m in college, I think it’s important that I go and live in another country for a year or two and learn another language. After that, when I come back, I’m going to go to law school and become a lawyer for a few years. Then I’m going to go into politics.
After a while, I’ll try to get into Congress for a number of years. By that time, I’ll be prepared to become the president.

Hi Li Peng,
To be honest, I’m really concerned about you as I find that you are tired of studying English after taking the exam. I’m writing to encourage you to overcome the difficulty and study harder than ever before.
It is time that we should build up good studying habits. I notice that you used to pay no attention to what the teacher had said. When the teacher was giving lessons, you sometimes seemed absent-minded and forget to take notes. As a consequence, you failed in the exams. What’s more, as students, we have had many tests or exams and it is natural that we should achieve success and suffer from failure. When we don’t do well in the exams, we will usually fall in low spirits and no longer study diligently as before. However, we should take a positive attitude towards failure and frustration, because as the saying goes, failure is the mother of success. Besides, we need to be self-confident even if we are faced with the poor results. What we can do is to analyse and find out the cause so that we will not make similar mistakes any more.
When you have trouble learning English, please come to ask me for help. Trust me, only if you make some changes will you be sure to succeed.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
