Reading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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。ABecause plants cannot move or talk, most people believe that they have no feelings and that they cannot receive signals from outside. However, this may not be pletely true. People who studied plants have found out that plants carry a small electrical charge (电荷). It is possible to measure this charge with a small piece of equipment called “galvanometer”. The galvanometer is placed on a leaf of the plant, and it records any changes in the electrical field of the leaf. Humans have a similar field which can change when we are shocked or frightened. A man called Backster used a galvanometer for his studies of plants and was very surprised at his results. He found that if he had two or more plants in a room and he began to destroy one of them - perhaps by pulling off its leaves or by pulling it out of its potthen the galvanometer on the leaves of the other plants showed a change in the electrical field. It seemed as if the plants were signaling a feeling of shock. This happened not only when Backster started to destroy plants, but also when he destroyed other living thing such as insects (昆虫).Backster said that the plants also knew if someone had destroyed a living thing some distance away, because they signalled when a man who had just cut down a tree entered the room.Another scientist, named Sauvin, achieved similar results to Backsters. He kept galvanometers fixed on his plants all the time and checked regularly to see what the plants were doing. If he was out of the office, he telephoned to find out about the signals the plants were sending. In this way, he found that the plants were sending out signals at the exact times when he felt strong pleasure or pain. In fact, Sauvin could cause a change in the electrical field of his plants over a distance of a few miles simply by thinking about them.21.Backster was surprised at the results of his studies because _.A. he destroyed an insectB. he destroyed a plant by pulling off its leavesC. he found that plants could express feelings of shockD. he found that plants could move and speak after all22.The plants sent out signals _.A. only when Backster Started to destroy plantsB. when Backster destroyed plants or other living thingsC. only when he destroyed things such as insectsD. only when Backster placed the galvanometer on the leaves of the plants23.The scientist called Sauvin _.A. did not agree with Backsters ideasB. did not get the same sort of results as Backster didC. got different results from BackstersD. found out some of the same things that Backster did24.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Sauvin could make his plants send out signals some distance away.B. A tree will signal when it has been cut down.C. The electrical charge plants carry may shock or frighten us.D. Plants have feelings because they can receive signals without moving. BFinally, a cell phoneThats a phoneWith rates as low as $3.75 per week !Well, I finally did it. I finally decided to enter the digital age and get a cell phone. My kids have been annoying me and the last straw was when my car broke down, and I was stuck by the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help. But when I went to the cell phone store, I almost changed my mind. The phones all have cameras, puters and a global-positioning something or other thats supposed to spot me from space. Goodness, all I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids! The people at the store werent much help. They couldnt understand why someone wouldnt want a phone the size of a postage stamp. And the rate plans! They were confusing and expensive and the contract (合同)lasted for two years! Id almost given up until a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone. Now, I have the convenience and safety of being about to stay in touch with a phone I can actually use. Affordable plans that I can understand一and no contract to sign (签订)!Unlike other cell phones, Jitterbug has plans that make sense. Why should I pay for minutes I m never going to use? And if I do talk more than I plan, I won t find myself with no minutes like my friend who has a prepaid phone. Best of all, there is no contract to sign, so I m not locked in for years at a time. The US-based customer service is second to none. And the phone gets service anywhere in the country.Monthly Minutes50100Monthly Rate$ 14.99$ 19.99911 AccessFREEFREELong Distance CallsNo Additional ChargeNo Additional ChargeFriendly Return Policy30 Days30 DaysCall now and receive a FREE gift when you order.

He would get the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and beg. He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at the same street corner and begged for almost 20 years.His house was dirty, and the bad smell ing out of the house was horrible. The neighbors could not stand the smell any more, so they asked the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of money all over the house that he had collected over the years.The police counted the money, and they soon realized that the old man was a millionaire (百万富翁). They waited outside his house expecting to share the good news with him. When the old man arrived home that evening, one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a rich man now, a millionaire.But the old man said nothing at all; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up as usual, went to the subway, got into the train and sat at the street corner and continued to beg.Clearly, this old man had no great plans, dreams or anything significant for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing. What makes us happy is what matters in the end, not what we acquire.28. Why did the police officers clear the old mans house?A. Because the old man had no time to clear it himself.B. Because the neighbors of the old man asked them to do.C. Because they couldnt stand the terrible smell.D. Because the police officers were kind-hearted.29. The police officers stood outside the old mans house in order to _.A. Tell the old man that they knocked down his doorB. Ask the old man to clean his dirty houseC. Make the old man count the money in small bags.D. Tell the old man that he was a millionaire.30. What did the old man do after the police officer told him the news?A. He did what he usually did the next day.B. He stayed at home doing nothing.C. He locked the door and went to the subway at once.D. He sat in front of his house and continued to beg.31. From the story we can infer that_.A. the old man cared about nothing but moneyB. the old man wanted to do what he enjoyed doingC. the policemen would take away all the money.D. the old man would not beg any moreDGrownups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试)increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for ones future development.32.What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?APeople remember well what they learned in childhood.BChildren have a better memory than grownups.CPoem reading is a good way to learn words.DStories for children arc easy to remember.33.The author explains the law of overlearning by_.Apresenting research findingsBselling down general rulesCmaking a parisonDusing examples34.What does the word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?Amonly accepted rules.BThe multiplication tables.CThings easily forgotten.DSchool subjects.35.What is the authors opinion on cramming?AIt leads to failure in college exams.BIts helpful only in a limited way.CIts possible to result in poor memory.DIt increases students learning interest.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。MuzakThe next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear? 36. Its similar to the music you listen to, but its not exactly the same. Thats because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you dont even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway.Quiet background music used to be called elevator (电梯) music because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name Muzak. About one-third of the people in America listen to Muzak every day. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired. 37.If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters dont want their songs to be used as Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why? 38.Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel.
