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

American and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact， there are some important differences between British English and American English.

First of all， they sound very different. Often， Americans dont say each word separately. They say several words together. Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I dont know.” Or they may say “Whatddya say？” instead of “What did you say？” However， the British are more careful in their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.

Also， some letters have different sounds. For example， the Americans say the “a” in “half” like the “a” in “cat”. But the British say the “a” in “half” like the “o” in “soft”.

Sound is not the only difference between British English and American English. Words sometimes have different meanings， too. Some American words are never used in England. The same thing is true of some British words in America. For example， the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks， but in England they drive lorries. The back of a car is called a trunk（行李箱）in America but in England it is a boot. The American word for the front of the car is hood， but the British say bonnet（引擎盖）.

Many expressions are also different in the two countries. In England， if you are going to telephone friends， you “ring them up”. In America you “give them a call”. When you are saying goodbye in England you might say “Cheerio！” In America you might say， “See you later”.

There are also differences in grammar sometimes. For example， Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. They say “Do you have class today？” But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say “Have you class today？”

All these differences can be confusing if you are learning English. But most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places， the languages change in different ways. This is what happened to English. It can also happen to other languages， such as French. Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France.

21. Compared to the British， Americans are usually ___ .

A. slower speakers B. easier to understand

C. less careful about saying words D. more careful about saying words

22. Talking about American English and British English， we know some letters ___ .

A. are written differently B. always sound the same

C. have unusual sounds D. sound differently

23. Why can English be confusing according to the last paragraph？

A. It always changes. B. It is different in different places.

C. The grammar changes a lot. D. Different people use it.

24. What is this passage mainly about？

A. English vocabulary.

B. The way the British say words.

C. Differences between American and British English.

D. How American sounds are different from British sounds.

B

Faces， like fingerprints， are unique（独一无二的）. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people？ Even a skilled writer probably couldnt describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child—or even an animal， such as a pigeon—can learn to recognize human faces. We all take this ability for granted.

We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someones personality， we mean the ways in which he/she acts， speaks， thinks and feels that make him/her different from others.

Like the human face， human personality is very complex. But describing someones personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a “nice face” looked like， you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a “nice person”， you might begin to think about someone who was kind， fair， friendly， warm and so on.

There are many words to describe how a person thinks， feels and acts. Gordon Allport， an American psychologist， found nearly 18，000 English words characterizing differences in peoples behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing， or typing， his personality. Bookworms， conservatives（保守派）， military types—people are described with such terms.

People have always tried to “type” each other. Actors in early Greek dramas wore masks to show the audience whether they played the bad persons or the heros role. In fact， the words “person” and “personality” come from the Latin “persona”， meaning “mask”. Today， most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the “good guys” from the “bad guys” because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.

25. According to Paragraph 1， some animals have a gift for ___ .

A. remembering people B. recognizing human faces

C. telling good people from bad people D. telling people apart by how they behave

26. What does the author tell us by using the example of fingerprints？

A. People have different personalities.

B. People can learn to recognize faces.

C. People differ from each other in facial features.

D. People have difficulty in describing the features of fingerprints.

27. Who most probably knows how to show peoples personality best？

A. The ancient Greek audience. B. The modern TV audience.

C. Most movie actors. D. Psychologists.

28. Why is it possible for us to tell one type of person from another according to the passage？

A. Human faces have complex features.

B. Human fingerprints provide unique information.

C. Peoples behavior can be easily described in words.

D. People differ in their behavioral and physical characteristics.

C

There are many American expressions about insects—like bees， for example. Bees are known as very hard workers. They always appear to be busy， moving around their homes， or hives. So you might say you are as busy as a bee if you spend your whole weekend cleaning your house. In fact， you might say your house is a beehive of activity if your whole family is helping you clean. You also might say you make a beeline for something if you go there right away. When we go to see a movie， my friend always makes a beeline for the place where popcorn is sold.

If your friend cannot stop talking about something because she thinks it is important， you might say she has a bee in her bonnet（软帽）. If someone asks you a personal question， you might say， “That is none of your beeswax.” This means “none of your business”.

Hornets（大黄蜂）are bee-like insects that sometimes attack people. If you are really angry， you might say you are mad as a hornet. And if you stir up（搅起）a hornets nest， you create trouble or problems.

Butterflies are beautiful insects， but you would not want to have butterflies in your stomach. That means to be nervous about having to do something， like speaking in front of a crowd. You would not want to have ants in your pants， either. That is， to be restless and unable to sit still.

Here are some expressions about ordinary old bugs， another word for insects. If a friend keeps asking you to do something you do not want to do， you might ask him to leave you alone or stop bugging you. A friend might also tell you again and again to do something. If so， you might say he puts a bug in your ear. And if you wish someone good night， you might say， “Sleep tight—dont let the bed bugs bite.”

29. Which of the following expressions is another way to say “It is none of your business”？

A. Dont let the bed bugs bite. B. You always make a beeline.

C. It is none of your beeswax. D. You have a bee in your bonnet.

30. What may people say to someone that breaks his neighbors window？

A. You are as busy as a bee. B. You have ants in your pants.

C. You put a bug in your neighbors ear. D. You have stirred up a hornets nest.

31. What does a person mean by saying “I have butterflies in my stomach”？

A. Im confident about it. B. Im very nervous.

C. My dress is very beautiful. D. I dont know what to do.

32. How many American expressions about bees are mentioned in the passage？

A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.

D

There are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket， making you believe that they are worth a try. How？ Packaging（包装）is the silent but convincing salesman.

There on the shelves， each bottle， can， box， and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of a consumer（消费者）， so that he is buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells， because “Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products，” as Louis Cheskin， the first social scientist studying consumers feeling for packaging， noticed.

Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw humans attention quickly. Take the V8 for example. For many years， the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food prices going up.

Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness， because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. Thats why the round yellow M signs of McDonalds are invited to both young and old.

This new consumer response（反应）to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul.

33. What seems to be able to let a consumer to buy the product？

A. The pleasing color of the package. B. The special taste of the product.

C. The strange shape of the package. D. The belief in the product.

34. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 suggests that consumers today are ___ .

A. starting to notice the importance of new food B. enjoying the beauty of nature more than before

C. beginning to like green vegetables D. paying more attention to their health

35. If a package or a product is round in shape， it can ___ .

A. bring excitement to consumers B. attract more consumers attention

C. catch the eye movement of consumers D. produce a happy and peaceful feeling for consumers

The right pair of exercise shoes can do a lot to prevent discomfort and injuries， personal trainers say. Here are some shopping tips：

36 Depending on your workout（体育锻炼）， shoes designed for walking， running， tennis， cross-training or another specialty will provide the best support for your feet.

Shop when you normally exercise. Feet actually get bigger throughout the day， sometimes swelling（肿胀）up as much as a half-size by nighttime. 37

Try them on. Never choose a pair of exercise shoes based only on the size of footwear you normally buy. Bring the type of socks youd wear to work out and go for a walk through the store.

38 You should be able to spread your toes out comfortably. Make sure theres about a half-inch of space between them and the front of the shoe. The back should fit warmly and comfortably against your heel and not move up and down. If your feet are different sizes， buy based on the larger one.

Talk to an expert. 39 Usually they can recommend the best shoes to guard against injuries.

40 Many trainers recommend switching footwear every three to five months， if possible， to maintain（保持）proper cushioning（缓冲）and support.

One tip： if you have to tie your shoes very tightly to feel a good amount of support， they may be ready to go.

A. Focus on fit.

B. Replace worn shoes regularly.

C. Consider your type of exercise.

D. Pay more attention to new style shoes.

E. Think about how much you can afford to buy the workout shoes.

F. So dont shop first thing in the morning if you often work out in the evening.

G. Shoe salesmen and personal trainers can study your long step and the shape of your feet.
