第二部分：阅读理解（共25小题；每小题2分，满分50分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
When I was an education official in Palo Alto, California. Polly Tyner, the president of our school board, wrote a letter that was printed in the Palo Alto Times. Polly's son, Jim, had great difficulty in school. He was classified as educationally disabled and required a great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers. But Jim was a happy kid with a great smile that lit up the room. His parents acknowledged his academic difficulties, but always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride. Shortly after Jim finished high school, he was killed in a motorcycle accident. After his death, his mother submitted（提交）this letter to the newspaper.
Today we buried our 20-year-old son. He was killed instantly in a motorcycle accident on Friday night. How I wish I had known when I talked to him last that it would be the last time. If I had only known I would have said, “Jim, I love you and I’m very proud of you.”
I would have taken the time to count the many blessings he brought to the lives of the many who loved him. I would have taken the time to appreciate his beautiful smile, the sound of his laughter, his genuine love of people.
When you put all the good qualities on the scale and try to balance all the irritating phenomena such as the radio which was always too loud, the haircut that wasn’t to our liking, the dirty socks under the bed, etc., your angry feelings won’t amount to much.
I won’t get another chance to tell my son all that I would have wanted him to hear, but, other parents, you do have a chance. Tell your young people what you would want them to hear if you knew it would be your last conversation. The last time I talked to Jim was the day he died. He called me to say, “Hi, Mom! I just called to say I love you. Got to go to work. Bye.” He gave me something to treasure forever.
If there is any purpose at all for Jim’s death, maybe it is to make others appreciate more of life and to have people, especially family members, take the time to let each other know just how much we care.
41. According to the passage, we know that _______.
A. Jim kept to himselfB. Jim’s parents were patient with him
C. Jim did very well in his studies D. Jim failed to finish his high school
42. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage
A. Many people in the school loved him.
B. Jim’s smile cheered up his family.
C. Jim wanted to be a motorcyclist after his graduation.
D. Jim was killed in a motorcycle accident at the age of 20.
43. The underlined word “irritating” in Paragraph 4 means _______.
A. thrillingB. aggressiveC. impatientD. annoying
44. By writing the letter printed in the Palo Alto Times, the author intends to _______.
A. mourn her son’s sudden death in a traffic accident
B. remind people to be cautious of motorcycles
C. appreciate more of life than ever before
D. advise people to take the chance to express their love in time
45. What can be the best title of the passage
A. Do it Today. B. Love your Family.
C. Walk with Pride. D. Appreciate Smiles.
B
If cars had wings，they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2015.The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its car-plane, the Transition, to customersby the end of 2015.
“It’s the next ‘wow’ vehicle” said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh. “Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris don’t fly.”
The car plane has wings that unfold for flying—a process the company says takes one minute—and fold back up for driving. A runway is still required to take off and land.
The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both. The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.
The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly. They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then you’re good to go. When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you don’t have to store it at an airport—you park it in the garage at home.
The car-plane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers. Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under bad weather instead of flying into marginal(临界) conditions.
The Transition’s price tag: $194,000, But there may be additional charges for options like a radio, transponder or GPS. Another option is a full-plane parachute.
“If you get into a very awful situation, it is the necessary safety option,” Gersh said.
So far, the company has more than 70 orders with deposits.” We’re working very closely with them, but there are still some remaining steps,” Brown said.
46. We can learn from the first paragraph that _________.
A. car-planes will be popular in 2015
B. people might drive a car-plane in 2015
C. both Transition and Ferrari can take off and land
D. Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts
47. It takes the car-plane one minute to ________ .
A. fold and unfold its wings B. unfold wings for flying
C. land in the airport D. meet flying safety regulations
48. The underlined word “it” in the last but one paragraph refers to ________ .
A. the radio B. the transponder C. the GPS D. the full-plane parachute
49. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true
A. The car-plane needs a runway to take off and land.
B. To meet aircraft regulations, the company has been working with FAA.
C. The car-plane may fly as high as normal planes.
D. People can park the car-plane in the garage at their home.
50. What’s the best title for the passage
A. Cars With Wings May Be Just Around The Corner.
B. Which to Choose: A Ferrari or a Car Plane
C. A more Convenient and Cheaper Way to Fly.
D. Cars With Wings Can Fly as Fast as Planes.
C
Planning a visit to the UK Here we help with ways to cut your costs.
AVOID BIG EVENTS
Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost 169.15 at Booking.com. A week later, the same room cost 118.15.
If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.
STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION
If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday. Don’t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was 95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was 75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just 62.95.
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF
Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative, consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for 420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.
GET ON A BIKE
London’s ‘Boris bikes’ have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs. Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around 1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or 5 per day).
51. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may __________________.
A. help travelers pass time
B. attract lots of travelers to the UK
C. allow travelers to make flexible plans
D. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation
52. The passage shows that the O’Neill Flat __________.
A. lies on the ground floor
B. is located in central London
C. provides cooking facilities for tourists
D. costs over 100 on average per day in late September
53. “Farringdon” in Paragraph 4 is most probably __________.
A. a hotel away from the train station B. the tube line to Covent Garden
C. an ideal holiday destination D. the name of a travel agency
54. Cardiff’s program allows a free bike for a maximum period of __________.
A. half an hour B. one hour C. one hour and a half D. two hours
55. The main purpose of the passage is __________.
A. to tell visitors how to visit the UK
B. to supply visitors with hotel information in the UK
C. to show visitors the importance of self-help in the UK
D. to offer visitors some money-saving tips on in the UK
D
Being organized is an important skill for school and life. When you’re well organized, you can stay focused ,instead of spending time hunting things down and feeling confused. What does it mean to be organized For schoolwork，it means having one notebook or place where you store all your assignments, so you know what you have to do and when. Keeping clearly labeled binders (活页夹) and keeping all your schoolwork neat and in a specific place—these are the main parts of organization.
For home stuff, being organized means having a place to put your things and putting them back when you finish using them. It means hanging your coat up instead of dropping it on the floor or throwing it on a chair. It means keeping your schoolbag，your shoes, and your clean underwear in the same places so you always know where to find them.
Planning is part of being organized，too. Planning means deciding what you will do and when you will do it. Calendars, lists, and schedules can help you plan. You can buy or draw a calendar and keep it near your workplace. Making a schedule or a “to-do” list for yourself is a good idea. Looking at your list helps you keep track of what you need to do. Add new things as you get assignments, and check off things when you’ve done them. Use your list to help you decide which thing is the most important to work on first.
It takes some extra efforts to organize yourself and your stuff. But once you’re organized, you feel great. The less time you spend hunting around for things or panicking about homework, the more time you have for better things, like reading a good book or playing.
56. If you are well organized at home，you will______________.
A. 1eave all the things as you will B. hang your coat on a chair
C. know where your clean underwear is D. ask your mom where your shoes are

Anger at the practice of demanding dowries, which can lead to violence against brides, has caused a takeoff of "Angry Birds" called "Angry Brides" that aims to highlight the illegal practice still common in many South Asian countries.
Dowries -- such as jewelry, clothes, cars and money -- are traditionally given by the bride's family to the groom and his parents to ensure she is taken care of in her new home.
The custom was outlawed more than five decades ago. But it is still widely practiced, with the groom's family demanding even more money after marriage, leading to mental and physical abuse that can drive the woman to suicide.
"The Angry Brides game is our way of throwing a spotlight on the nuisance (陋习) of dowry," said Ram Bhamidi, senior vice president and head of online marketing for Shaadi.com, a matrimonial (婚姻的) website with two million members.
"According to a 2007 study, there is a dowry-related death every four hours in India. We condemn this and have consistently run campaigns on social media to help create awareness of the issue."
The name of the app, available on the group's home page, is a spinoff from the globally popular "Angry Birds" game. Its home page shows a red-clad, eight-armed woman resembling a powerful female Hindu goddess. Underneath, there is a caption: "A woman will give you strength, care and all the love you need ... NOT dowry!"
To play the game, users have to try and hit three dodging grooms -- a pilot, builder and doctor. There is a wide array of weapons to choose from, including a stiletto shoe, a frying pan, broomstick, tomato and loafer.
Each groom has a price tag, starting at 1.5 million rupees ($29,165). Every time the player hits a groom, his value decreases and money is added to the player's Anti-Dowry Fund, which is saved posted on their Facebook page.
"Since we launched the game last week, more than 270,000 people have liked the app. Both men and women seem to be playing it," said Bhamidi.
61. What caused "Angry Brides" to appear online
A. Women's rights' being seriously abused.
B. Anger at the practice of demanding dowries.
C. The bride's giving a great many dowries.
D. The popularity of Angry Birds online.
62. Which of the following is True about "Dowries"
A. The custom of giving dowries has been in practice for five decades.
B. Lack of abundant dowries may lead to the bride's being in violence.
C. The illegal practice of dowries is still popular in many African countries.
D. More dowries the bride gives mean a high social status of her family.
63. The underlined word "spinoff” probably means_____________.
A. relation B. connection C. copy D. fake
64. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the game "Angry Brides"
A. There are a variety of weapons to choose from.
B. Ram Bhamidi thinks highly of the game.
C. Men players don't find the game enjoyable.
D. The game character looks like a Hindu goddess.
65. What is the text mainly about

B. The popularity of the game "Angry Brides".
C. The groom's demanding too many dowries.
D. How to build an equal relation in the marriage.

阅读下面短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后面的字数要求）。
[1]Ever felt like destroying the car in front of you when _____________in an endless traffic jam Well, the Spanish company StopStress is offering customers the possibility of doing just that but under controlled, safe circumstances. Customers can also destroy computers, mobile phones and TV sets in what the company calls “destruction therapy (治疗).”
[2]"We target the machines that cause the most stress in modern life," company co-founder Jorge Arribas said in a telephone interview. "People get rid of stress by screaming and beating the machines until they are tired out," he explained.
[3]The company, based in the northern Spanish city of Soria, uses abandoned cars that still work. Heavy-metal music is used to excite the customers. They are given protective suits and glasses, helmets and hug hammers. Most people's anger only lasts for 5 to 10 minutes. But some go on for hours: they beat cars on which they've put the names of people or ideas they would like to get rid of. "Some even get together to turn the car over," Arribas says. A session costs 60 euros (US$80) per person.
[4]Arribas says the idea came to him when he was having trouble parking his car. Dozens of people have used the therapy, which helps people become aware of their stress level and helps them to slow down, Arribas explained. "It's better to channel violence in a controlled way than to let it out on one's husband or wife or in a traffic jam," he added. StopStress already has branches in three Spanish cities, and is planning to extend its market beyond Spain's borders.
