Life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） 阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的ABCD四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。 A.His first successful fight was for the equal rights of black people in South Africa. Then, as the first black president, he fought to unite the country and organize the government. Now Nelson Mandela has set his sights on a new enemy, AIDS. On March 19, the 82-year-old former president, hosted his second AIDS-awareness concert. He warned that 25 million people in Africa were already infected with the fatal disease. Mandela was born in a small village in South Africa in 1918. He was adopted by the chief of his tribe and could have been a chief himself and lived a happy country life. But he refused to be a chief when his people lived under racial discrimination(歧视). He decided to fight for equal rights for all the people in South Africa. Before 1990, under the countrys Racial Segregation Law, colored and white people lived separately. Black people were treated unfairly even when taking a bus. Blacks had to stand at the back of the bus to make room for white people even when there were only a few of them on board. For his opposition to the system, Mandela was arrested and spent 27 years in prison. He was freed in 1990 and became the president of the country after the first election was held in which everyone could vote. Mandela was not only a political fighter who attacked with speeches. He was also a trained boxer and fought in the ring when he was young. “Although I did not enjoy the violence of boxing, I was interested in how one moved ones body to protect oneself, how one used a strategy both to attack and retreat”, he wrote in his autobiography. As a skillful fighter, he chose music as his weapon against AIDS. He hopes to win another victory against AIDS.46.When was Mandela arrested?AIn 1963BIn 1990CWhen he refused to be a chiefDWhen he became the president47.Nelson Mandela succeeded in doing the following except _.

Which of the following statements can best describe the life of Nelson Mandela? Astruggle is his lifeBsports make his fameCfight for equal rights Da great fighter against government. B.America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily. Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they dont show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably. For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home.50. The writer of this passage must be _.A. an AmericanB. a professor C. a ChineseD. a student51. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.B. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break. C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.D. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.52. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be _.A. warmly welcomed at the airport B. offered a ride to his homeC. treated to dinner in a restaurant D. treated hospitably at his home 53. The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean _ .A. strict with time B. willing to spend time C. careful with timeD. serious with time.C.Everybody hates rats. But in the earthquake capitals of the world Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey rats will soon be mans new best friends. What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they cant get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat. How does it work? First , the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rats brain gives a signal.This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rats brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person. Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University, New York, says, “Robots noses dont work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that. ” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they dont need electricity! The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldnt get to, and a rat would get out if it wasnt safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building（but only after an earthquake, of course.）54From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person is alive by .Athe noise made by the rat Bthe rats unusual behaviourCthe smell given off by the person Dthe signal sent by the radio on the rats back55In doing rescue jobs,_. .Arats smell better than dogsBrobots sense of smell can be affected by other smells around.Cdogs dont need to be trained to smell people Drats can see in the dark and smaller than robots56Rats have all the following advantages except that_ . Athey are less expensive to train than dogsBthey are more fantastic than other animalsCthey dont need electricity Dthey are small and can get into small places57After reading the passage we can know .Aat present rats have taken the place of dogs in searching for peopleBthe “rat project” has been finishedCnow people still use dogs and robots in saving peopleDpeople are now happy to see a rat in a building D.English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the worlds books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary perhaps as many as two million words.However, lets face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which arent sweet, are meat.We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers dont fing, grocers dont groce, and hammers dont ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldnt the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese so one moose, two meese?How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. Thats why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.58. According to the passage _.A. boxing rings should be roundB. there should be egg in an eggplantC. pineapples are the apples on the pine treeD. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things59.Which of the following is the correct plural?A. Beeth. B. Geese. C. Meese. D. Tooth.w w w .60.Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?A. A wise man and a wise guy.B. Overlook and oversee.C. Quite a lot and quite a few.D. Hot as hell and cold as hell. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下框的A-F选项中选出概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。A. Smiling builds up confidence.B. Smiling changes mood.C. Smiling helps stay positive.D. Smiling defeats diseasesE. Smiling attracts people.F. Smiling relieves stress.61. _Like a flower with a pleasant scent, your smile can draw people close enough to see inside you. Thats Smile Power. A smile has the power to radiate the qualities that make you beautiful on the inside kindness, friendship, honesty, respect, patience, and self-control. So please give smiles away like flowers. Let your smile be an invitation for others to get to know the great person behind the smile. Then let people see that your smile doesnt stop at your mouth. It goes all the way to your heart. On the other hand, we are drawn to people who smile and we want to know a smiling person and figure out what is so good. Frowns, scowls and grimaces all push people away, but a smile draws them in.62. _ Next time you are feeling down, try putting on a smile. Theres a good chance your mood will change for the better. Smiling can trick the body into helping you to have a good feeling. So smile is a good state of mind, you have a smile, then you will have a better feeling. So when you are smiling you lighten up the room, change the moods of others, and make things happier.63
