Power第二部分 阅读理解（共35小题，满分65分） 第一节（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A,B,C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。（A） What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists(心理学家)tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we dont choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress rings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing(压抑). Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray. Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And dont forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief. 41. According to this passage, _. A. one can choose his color preference B. one is born with his color preference C. ones color preference is changeable D. one has to choose his favorite color as soon as he can see clearly42. We would pay attention to colors because _. A. colors do have effect on our moods(情绪) B. colors may have effect on our work and study C. light and bright colors make people happy D. you can know your friends better by the colors they like or dislike43. The writer believes that in realizing the four modernizations of country, we need more people who love _. A. yellow B. red C. green D. black44. I am feeling black means _. A. I am feeling well B. I am very happy C. I am excited D. I am depressed（B）Not everyone in the world requires the same amount of living space. The amount of space a person needs around him is a cultural difference, not an economic one. Knowing your own psychological(心理的) space needs is important because they strongly affect your choices, including, for example, the number of bedrooms in the home. If you were brought up in a two-child family and both you and your sister or brother had your own bedrooms, the chances are if you have two children or more, that you also will offer separate bedrooms for them. In America, for example, they train people to want to have their own rooms by giving them their own rooms when they are babies. This is very unusual in the world. In many other countries, the baby sleeps in the same bed with his parents or in bed near them. The space in the home also shows a lot about psychological space needs. Some families gather closer to each other and the size of their house has nothing to do with it. Others have separate little corners where family members go to be alone. Although it is true that psychological space needs are not decided by economic reasons, they sometimes have to be changed a little because of economic pressure（压力）. It is almost impossible, however, to completely change your psychological space needs.45. The first sentence in Paragraph 1 “Not everyone in the world requires the same amount of space” means “_”. A. Not two people need exactly the same amount of living space B. Living space requirements are not always the same C. The world requires the same amount of living space D. Nobody needs a required amount of living space46. Some families gather closer to each other at home than others because _. A. they have limited living space B. they are brought up in a large family C. it satisfies their psychological space needs D. the children in the family sleep in the same bed with their parents 47. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Americans are trained to live in the large rooms at birth. B. Economic situation decides ones amount of space needs. C. People in different countries demand(need) different psychological space. D. Knowing your psychological space needs is important, as it has effect on your future. 48. The best title for this passage is _. A. American Way of Living B. Psychological Space C. Space Needs in Different Countries D. Psychological Space and Economic Pressure (C)A major earthquake rocked Haiti at 4:53 pm local time on Jan.12, 2010, killing possibly thousands of people but no official figure has been released so far.The quake, which struck about 15km (10 miles) south-west of the capital, Port-au-Prince, was quickly followed by two strong aftershocks. In the space of a minute, numerous buildings fell down. A five-story U.N. building was also brought down by the 7.3 magnitude quake, the most powerful to hit Haiti in more than 200 years according to the U.S. Geological Survey. As night fell, the whole city is in total darkness. You can see thousands of people sitting in the streets with nowhere to go. There are people running, crying, screaming. Describing the earthquake as a catastrophe, Haitis president said the cost of the damage could run into billions.Haiti became the first independent Caribbean state in the early 19th century.

Haiti is a country where such strong quacks often take place.(D)Celebrations spread across China when Shanghai, the Oriental Pearl, was given the right to host the 2010 World Expo on December 3.Shanghai won the honor after beating rivals from Russia, Mexico, Poland and South Korea.“Im very proud of being Chinese,” said Wang Kaibo, a Senior 2 student of the Middle School Affiliated (附属的) to Beijing Medical University. “The winning of the expo is a victory, not only for Shanghai residents, but for the people of the whole Chinese nation.”Bidding for the expo shows that China is more confident of playing a more important role on the international stage.

They make too much noise in shopping malls; they drive carelessly up and down Americas main streets. And at least some of the time those things are true. But we shouldnt forget that there are hard moments in the life of a teenager too.I watched such a moment not long ago at a womans funeral which happened in a church. A teenage grandson stepped forward. Softly he began:“I want to share a few values that Nana taught me. She never failed to see light in any situation. When our family dog would attack her, what would Nana say? Oh, what beautiful markings that dog has. That was Nana.“She was a strong woman who often lived in the shadow of my grandpa, who was a successful businessman in this city. But she was the one behind the scenes who provided the strength and support for Grandpas career,” he said, with a voice now trembling. “That was Nanas way.”Finally, in a voice breaking free of sorrow, he looked up and said, “Nana taught me courage. She put up a fight to the end, when she died peacefully, which is how she lived her life. That was Nanas way, and I hope I can carry on in the same manner.”There are no hearts as sensitive as those of teenagers, because everything is happening to them for the first time. The trouble with teenagers is that they havent learned to be controlled. When that boy rose to speak about the woman who had been his dearest friend, his honest voice dragg
