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。

A

How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments—mostly for entertainment purposes—is fair and respectful？

Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However， most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored， lonely， and far from their natural homes.

Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species， but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals natural behavior， intelligence， or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages， and most signs only mention the species name， diet， and natural range. The animals normal behavior is not often noticed because zoos dont usually take care of the animals natural needs.

The animals are kept together in small spaces， with no privacy（隐私）and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos has found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage sticks， and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth， a sign of unhappiness and pain.

Furthermore（此外）， most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding（圈养繁殖）of endangered big cats， Asian elephants， and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact， baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Havent we seen enough competitions to name baby animals？

Actually， we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons for which people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos， we should support groups that work to protect animals natural habitats.

21. How would the author describe the animals life in zoos？

A. Dangerous. B. Unhappy.

C. Natural. D. Easy.

22. In the state of “zoochosis” （underlined in Paragraph 4）， animals ___ .

A. remain in cages B. behave strangely

C. attack other animals D. enjoy moving around

23. What would the author still agree although he argues against zoos？

A. Zoos have to keep animals in small cages.

B. Most animals in zoos are endangered species.

C. Some endangered animals are reproduced in zoos.

D. Its acceptable to keep animals away from their habitats.

24. What does the author try to argue in the passage？

A. Zoos are not worth the public support. B. Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.

C. Zoos should treat animals as human beings. D. Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.

B

Believe it or not， optical illusion（错觉）can cut highway crashes.

Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75% using a simple optical illusion. Bent stripes， called chevrons（人字形）， painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are， and thus drivers slow down.

Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D. C. is planning to repeat Japans success. Starting next year， the Foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns（模式）reduce highway crashes.

Overspeed plays a major role in as much as one-fifth of all deadly traffic accidents， according to the Foundation. To help reduce those accidents， the Foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related dangers are the greatest—curves， exit slopes， traffic circles and bridges.

Some studies suggest that straight， horizontal bars painted across roads can at first cut the average speed of drivers in half. However， traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bar.

Chevrons， scientists say， not only give drivers impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a road appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.

25. What will drivers probably feel on roads painted with chevrons？

A. They are driving in the wrong road. B. They should slow down their speed.

C. They are approaching the speed limit. D. They should avoid speed-related dangers.

26. What does the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plan to do？

A. To replace straight， horizontal bars with chevrons. B. To try out the Japanese method in certain areas.

C. To change the road signs across the country. D. To repeat the Japanese road patterns.

27. What is the advantage of chevrons over straight， horizontal bars？

A. They can keep drivers awake. B. They will look more attractive.

C. They can cut road accidents in half. D. They will have a longer effect on drivers.

C

Some years ago industries had more freedom than they have now， and they did not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them； often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.

Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore（忽视）. At such times， there were inquiries（调查）into the causes of the disasters or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries； however， the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.

Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the US， for example， there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work， and then reports any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course， new government departments and new laws cannot keep from every accident or illness， but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars which we use for travel are better. Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products.

28. We can infer from Paragraph 1 that in the past ___ .

A. workers often got ill because of the poor working conditions

B. companies were free to put out any products they wanted to

C. industries were as careful in management as they are today

D. many people were killed by dangerous products

29. Some years ago safety rules were ___ .

A. put forward due to scientists suggestions

B. formed as a result of the workers demands

C. effective enough to protect workers and customers

D. introduced because of many peoples death or serious injuries

30. What is implied in the passage？

A. Governments and companies had different opinions about the safety of products.

B. Governments paid little attention to the safety of products.

C. Government officials often did not listen to scientists.

D. Goverments introduced no safety laws in the past.

31. What is the main topic of the passage？

A. Conditions in the work place. B. The freedom of industries in the past.

C. Changes in industrial production. D. The safety and health of workers and customers.

D

It is reasonable to say that every teenager can be affected by peer pressure（同辈压力）at some point. Every day， in any high school， peer pressure has a major influence over the behavior of teenagers. It can be as subtle（微妙的）as being persuaded to be late for class or as extreme as a dangerous drug. Whether subtle or extreme， peer pressure can have damaging， sometimes life-changing， and even serious results.

“Teens dont often consider the long-term results that some behavior can cause，” says Terri Price， a researcher. “Peer pressure can be very difficult for many teens to handle because of their fears of not fitting in.” Peer pressure has always been part of teen life， but teens experience it differently than their former generations did in the past. Sources of peer pressure have increased because of the Internet and other electronic communications.

Recognizing peer pressure can be as simple as noticing that you have been asked to do something that you are not comfortable with. “Listen to your instinct（直觉）， which is a sign for whether something is right or wrong. If it feels wrong， then most likely it is，” says Price.

Teens are in a time of life when they are still discovering who they are. Many teens are influenced by peer pressure because of their insecurities（缺乏安全感）. This can make them helpless especially when their self-control is weak or they lack healthy support， causing them to take risky behavior or turn to unhealthy support.

Dealing with peer pressure is a topic of concern for teens. People can say， “Just say no”， but the truth is that the statement is easier said than done.

32. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to？

A. The Internet. B. Teen life.

C. Peer pressure. D. The fear of not fitting in.

33. You can know whether a teen suffers peer pressure by watching whether he/she ___ .

A. can get security B. feels right or wrong

C. often surfs the Internet D. feels comfortable with it

34. Why are teens easily influenced by peer pressure？

A. They have no feeling of safety.

B. They need support for their health.

C. They have nobody to turn to when in trouble.

D. They are afraid of fitting in or being accepted.

35. According to the passage， we can know that dealing with peer pressure is ___

A. easy B. hard

C. special D. impossible

Dear editor，

In the past my hometown was used to be a beautiful place. Thick trees and green grass could be seeing everywhere. In order to build more house and grow more crops， people cut down more and more trees. As time went on， the whole forest were almost destroyed. Gradually the green hills had changed into wasteland. As a result， sandstorms struck us now and then， from which we suffer a lot. However， I do hope all the people should realize the terribly result of not caring about our environment. Whats more， they should take good care of the forests and plant trees instead cutting them down to improve our living conditions.
