10、二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）第一节 （共10小题；每小题2分，满分20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。 A Im part of the Roots & Shoots program founded by Dr. Jane Goodall. The program is intended to make and promote positive changes in the world. As Dr. Goodall says, “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide w

11、hat kind of difference you want to make.” In Bulgaria, where I live, homeless dogs are everywhere. Many people here turn a blind eye to them. But I cannot ignore the life of a street dog whenever I see one wandering in the street, looking for something to eat. Thats why Im no longer a food waster. W

12、hen I see wasted food, I always think of a hungry dog climbing to garbage bins, searching for food that people have thrown there. When eating in a restaurant, Im not afraid to take leftover food to feed stray cats or dogs. A week ago, I saw a homeless dog around the garbage bins. Immediately I knelt

13、 down, spoke to her softly and ran my hands over her. I could see that she had had puppies. I couldnt imagine how she could have been able to care for them. Hours earlier, Id bagged up a plate of leftover fish. As I unwrapped it, she wagged her tail and sniffed at it. She ate all the fish in no time

14、. Its sad, isnt it? I cant understand why many of us waste so much and think little of it. These homeless animals have taught me that food is precious. Even when I dont have leftovers with me, Ill take the time to get something from the grocery store to feed them. I know my power is small, so I hope

15、 that next time you see wasted food, do turn it into worthy food. You have the power to save a life!21The author uses what Dr. Goodall says to show _.A. how we can develop our businessB. why it is important to be greatC. why the program is popular globallyD. how we can change the world positively22W

17、ith him to _.A. eat it when he was hungry B. set an example to those who throw away food C. look for more homeless animals D. feed a homeless dog he met B Think about the last time you felt afraid. Was it a fear of height? Did you oversleep on a weekday and fear youd get into trouble at the office?

18、In any case, you know what it feels like to feel fear. But one woman, code-named “UM”, gave her first-ever interview after years of being studied by a team of researchers. The woman is given a code name because the researchers want to protect her from anyone who would take advantage of her inability

19、 to feel afraid. UM cant tell you what fear is because shes never experienced it. “I wonder what its like to actually be afraid of something,” she said. The formal name for the disease is Urbach-Wieth disease, which is characterized by a hoarse(粗哑的)voice，small bumps around the eyes, and calcium depo

20、sits(钙沉积的)in the brain. In the case of UM，the disease has transformed the part of her brain that controls the human response to fear. In the interview, UM talks about an event in her life where she was held at knifepoint and gunpoint, “I was walking to the store，and I saw a man on a park benchHe sai

21、d. “Come here，please,” so I went over to him. He grabbed me by the shirt，put a knife to my throat and told me he was going to cut me. I told him, “Go ahead and cut me,” I wasnt afraid at all. And for some reason，he let me go.” Doctors who have been studying UMs condition for years have been trying d

22、ifferent things that could strike fear into her. They finally figured something outincreasing UMs carbon dioxide levelsExtra carbon dioxide concentration in the blood is known to cause fear and panic in health individuals. Increasing UMs carbon dioxide levels did manage to give her a fright24The tex

23、t starts by_.A. challenging the reader B. solving daily problemsC. listing situations D. giving explanations25Why is the woman with Urbach-Wieth disease given a code name?A.

Dying of the Urbach-W

25、ieth disease B. Getting the sense of panicC. Experiencing another danger D. Speaking with a hoarse voice C There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from th

26、e different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds. People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They e

27、njoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, hurt many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in

28、 nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their inter

29、ests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit. Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people hurt many others; nobody loves them, and no one t

30、reats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes

31、. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for

32、 others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.28People who are unhappy _.A. always consider things differently from othersB. always discover the unpleasant side of certain thingsC. usually misunder
