阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）第一节：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。ai always experienced guilt when i passed by without giving a coin or two to a beggar.my conscience was pricked again on a tour of venice in 2010. i had taken refuge(庇护) from the crowds in a quiet canal-side caf. outside the caf was an old woman kneeling on the ancient cobbled stones, begging. steady streams of tourists were walking past her. a lone young back-packer stood away from the throng drinking something, but i noticed he was also observing the woman.a tourist group glanced at the woman and walked on. another group of tourists arrived and, again, walked past her. the backpacker watched. then, as i prepared to leave, i stopped at the sight of the backpacker stepping forward and placing some money in the womans cup. he did this rather ostentatiously（炫耀地）, just before the arrival of another tourist group. i watched as the leader of the group stopped and put some money in the cup. having been shown the way, other tourists followed suit and added more coins to the womans cup.the young backpacker repeated this process in front of the next tour party going past. once again, the subtle peer （同伴）pressure worked on the tourists, who all added coins to the cup. his work done, the young man walked over to the old beggar woman, patted her shoulder and said, “i hope that helps a bit.”i dont know if the woman understood his english or realized what had just happened, but i did. i placed some money in the womans cup and continued my travels, light-hearted after witnessing such an astute act of caring.56. the author went to a quiet canal-side cafe to .a. take a restb. watch the woman beggarc. get away from the crowdsd. avoid meeting the beggar57. before the backpacker dropped some money in the womans cup, the tourists .a. didnt notice the womanb. gave a little money to the womanc. all showed pity for the womand. walked by without giving any money58. the backpacker placed some money in the womans cup rather ostentatiously because .a. he wanted people to know that he was rich and kindb. he wanted the tourist group to follow himc. he wanted to stop the tourists by doing thisd. he wanted to help the woman by himself59. we can infer from the passage that .a. people can do kind acts due to peer pressureb. people usually have pity on an old beggarc. tourists can be cheated by beggarsd. tourists are willing to help beggarsbwhat do working mothers worry about the most? its the kids of course. whatever the setting, the question i get asked the most is “will the kids be alright?” its made me realize that we tend to look at the glass half-empty rather than half-filled when it comes to mixing work and family. we forget about all the benefits that we bring to our children when we workand im not talking about the obvious financial benefits, although these of course shouldnt be taken for granted.about a year ago i remember getting a call from the school just as i was pulling up to the house after having driven 20 minutes to the school and 20 minutes back. “mrs. brown quinn, your son asked us to call. he forgot his sports clothes. can you come back to the school and drop them off?” i was exasperated(恼火)! i had already spent 40 minutes in aggressive weekday morning traffic. i replied, “sorry, im working at the moment. im afraid my son needs to learn to be organized.”being a good parent requires delivering tough love sometimes. kids need to learn to be independent. it can be a cruel and competitive world out there. seeking interests, including business, outside of your kids, can give you that extra idea that you need not care for your kids with attention. this benefit of working isnt always immediately evident.it wasnt until our daughter went away to college that she realized why we（a dual(双的)career couple）had raised her in the way that we did. “mom, i cant believe how so many of my friends struggle to manage things on their own. they are constantly calling their parents for help.” youll love that moment! after all those years of complaining about why you dont do this or why you dont give them that, your kids realize that tough love has made them better people.60. the author refused to drop off her sons sports clothes because _.a. she was caught in heavy trafficb. she was busy workingc. she thought her son was lyingd. she wanted her son to be organized61. how can kids become better people according to the author?a. by giving them all your attention.b. by giving them freedom to do things on their own.c. by showing them your deep love.d. by giving them tough love.62. the daughters attitude towards the author is _ when she grows up.a. complainingb. caringc. understandingd. disappointed63. the purpose of the author is to _.a. analyze a special benefit of workingb. advise us to blend work and familyc. argue for working mothersd. describe her own experience in raising childrenc(reuters)ceremonies to celebrate divorces have gained momentum（势头）in japan after the massive march earthquake and tsunami, followed by an ongoing nuclear crisis, caused unhappy couples to reassess their lives.the ceremony to mark a couples transition to being single again costs 55,000 yen ($690)， includes a buffet meal and culminates with the ritual smashing of their wedding rings with a gavel.tomoharu saito, who took part in tokyo with his wife miki days before they were set to file for divorce, said crushing the rings felt cathartic.（情感宣泄的）.“i did not think the ring could be crushed that easily, but it did,”he said. “i was shocked but at the same time, i feel it helped me make a clean break.”the ceremony also includes a “divorce dress,” and miki saito chose a daisy-yellow summer dress. in japan, daisies are believed to symbolize an a “friendly relationship”.designer akiue go said he created the dress with emphasis on the back for a specific reason. “i designed this dress so the womans back looks the most beautiful when she turns around and walks away,” he said。hiroki terai, a 31-year-old former salesman, spotted a gap in the market and pioneered the divorce ceremony two years ago. since then, hes celebrated more than 80 breakups.requests for the ceremony have tripled since the march 11 9.0 magnitude quake set off a massive tsunami.“the march 11 disaster made many couples rethink their priorities. some found that work was a higher priority to them than family, and this helped people gain the confidence to decide on a divorce,” terai said.“those who want an amicable divorce are doing these ceremonies.”miki saito said the earthquake made her realize she wanted to be closer to her parents, who live in northeastern japan in one of the areas badly affected by the quake.“after the quake, my desire to go back and live with my parents grew stronger,” she said.guest hiroko tada was present for both the beginning and the end of the saitos marriage. “id say congratulations to the amicable divorce,” she said. “i could have never imagined this day would come because i was at their wedding, but since they did break up, this is one of the best ways to do it.”64. which of the following is not true according to the passage?a. the divorce ceremony in japan includes a buffet meal.b. smashing the wedding rings helps tomoharu saito make a clean break.c. the divorce dress is designed to make women look the most beautifuld. its hiroki terai who first spotted the market of divorce ceremony65. how much has the divorce ceremony held by terai cost in the past two years?a. about 56,000 yenb. about $50,000c. less than 440,000 yend. over $ 55,20066. what can be inferred from the text?a. terai was the second to held the divorce ceremonyb. divorce ceremonies pick up in japan after the march 11 disasterc. people get married to gain confidence after the earthquaked. the march 11 disaster was the most serious ever recordeddthe european union announced plans on tuesday to temporar-ily ban the use of animal cloning for food production, while allowing imports of food derived from the offspring（后代）of clones from the united states and elsewhere.the report from the european commission followed a call by eu lawmakers in july for a total ban on food derived from cloned animals and their traditionally bred offspring, citing ethical concerns over the industrial production of cloned meat.the commission said a temporary five-year eu ban on cloning for food production was justified on animal welfare grounds, but said banning imports of food from the offspring of clones was unnecessary and would disrupt global trade.“food from cloned animals is safe. in fact, the scientific opinion is that it cannot be differentiated in any way from food normally bred animals. the issue is animal welfare,” eu health and consumer commissioner john dalli told reporters.food derived from the offspring of clones presents no such animal welfare issues, and banning its sale and import would be impossible because the origin is untraceable, dalli said.“such a prohibition would lead to a ban of imports of any food of animal origin (meat, milk and processed products)from third countries allowing the cloning technique,” the report said.“were not going to regulate for the world,” dalli added.but animal welfare groups criticized the commissions decision, saying it had bowed to pressure from third countries.“we do not accept the commissions position that it would be impossible to enforce a ban that includes the offspring of cloned animals, as (other) meat traceability systems are already in place,” said sonja van tichelen, director of the eurogroup for animals.67. from the passage we can infer that the ban is .a. justifiedb. welcomec. controversiald. meaningless68. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. the ban is permanent.b. the imports of food from the offspring of clones are not banned.c. animal welfare groups support the ban.d. the ban has been put into effect.69. which of the following is the reason for commissions decision on the ban according
