第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15分，每小题2分，共30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题给出的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Dictionaries are not closed books. There is still plenty of room for more words in these great vocabulary authorities. New words are continually being created and added to our language. And many of today’s word experts can credit a famous mathematician with the creation of the method by which they develop many new words. The mathematician was an Englishman named Charles L. Dodgson. In addition to working with figures, Dodgson wrote books. His imaginative stories and poems have made Dodgson beloved to generations of readers. We know him, however, not by the name of Dodgson but by his pen name, Lewis Carroll.
Lewis Carroll has delighted countless readers, young and old, with Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, and numerous poems. In these works, Carroll developed dozens of nonsensical words such as “chortle” and “galumph”. Many of these words are combined naturally with more conventional words in the English language. Carroll referred to his made-up words as “portmanteau” words, named after a kind of leather suitcase that opens into two compartments. The name was well suited, because most of Carroll’s words had two compartments. Rather than being entirely fabricated(虚构), they were usually made from the combined parts of two different words. A “snark”, for example, clearly came from a snake and a shark.
Although Carroll died long ago, his technique continues to be used today. We clearly see his influence in such words as smog, brunch, and guesstimate.

Anger often makes us uncomfortable. When you find your anger too uncomfortable to process, please let it go. But remember to create a healthy anger in your children is to practice creating a healthy anger in yourself. Once you're better at experiencing anger and expressing it in a healthy way, you'll be able to model a good style of anger for your kids.
Some kids deal with anger by creating a "false self": a child who is perfect for their parents. People who have developed a false self are often passive aggressive and seem shallow because they've hid away all the feelings with depth and character.
How do we keep kids from creating false selves? We need to raise them in an environment where it's safe to express feelings. Once you feel more comfortable with your own anger, you can teach your children why anger is a helpful emotion. When your kid expresses anger, help them examine what it is that has made them angry. Why did it make them angry? How did it do that? Then, you can teach them that while emotions are never wrong and are always valid, our expressions of our emotions are within our control.
People who are afraid of their own anger will never learn how to listen to what their anger is trying to tell them. Instead of teaching our kids that their anger is wrong, that "happy families" are never angry, or that all feelings of anger lead to violence and fear, we can teach our children that anger is OK. Anger is natural, it is normal, and it can be experienced and expressed in a healthy way.
32. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. Anger makes us uncomfortable.
B. Anger is difficult to deal with.
C. Parents often lose their temper at home.
D. Parents should model a good anger style.
33. What would a child be like if he developed a “false self”?
A. Polite and optimistic. B. Perfect and helpful.
C. Negative and indirect. D. Rude and dishonest.
34. What’s the main purpose of the last 2 paragraphs?
A. To give tips to create healthier anger.
B. To suggest ways to avoid anger.
C. To show the harm anger does to kids.
D. To stress the importance of expressing anger.
35. In which part of a website can we read the passage?
A. Food& Recipes B. Psychology & Health
C. Life & Entertainment D. School& Education
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Winter running is the best way to lose winter weight. But before heading out, make sure you have a solid plan. You don’t want to come across accidents along the way. 36 .
Wear the Right Shoes
The right shoes will depend on the road. You want shoes that are made for the kind of surface you run on. For example, if you are running on slippery surfaces, you want shoes with great friction（摩擦力）. 37 . When trying out a pair of running shoes, check the fit, feel and ride of the shoes. These elements are important once you take your new shoes out for a run.
Warm Up
Warm up is an important part to keep fit. Especially if temperatures drop and your muscles are stiff from the cold! 38 . It also prepares the muscles for the intense activity ahead. The cold climate won’t feel as cold when you do warm ups. This is because blood flows much faster after a good warm up!
Deal with Wind
39 The key is to run into the wind and finish by running against it. This keeps icy wind from blasting your face. To prevent any injuries or accidents, break your run into smaller parts.
40 You can use certain creams on the nose and cheeks to prevent frostbite. Don’t skip your sun-block if you’re running during the day. UVB(紫外线)passes through the clouds. Running for an extended period on a cloudy day will still damage the skin!
A. Don’t run in the wind.
B. Running makes you warm.
C. Warming up prevents injuries.
D. It’s hard to run if it’s too windy.
E. Your shoes should fit very well so you don’t slip.
F. Here we are giving you important tips to remember.

Why not let him save his 56 ? Always 57 your sharp angle." What he said 58 me a lesson I'll never forget. I not only had made the storyteller 59 , but had put my friend in an embarrassing 60 .

The other day after work, I was walking down the street and I saw the strangest thing. I saw a guy riding a unicycle, you know, one of those bicycles with only one wheel. It’s not every day you see that. But that wasn’t even the weirdest thing about this guy. He was dressed in all pink from head to toe — pink shoes, pink socks, pink pants, pink shirt... even a pink hat! And that’s not all. The guy was singing as he rode down the street! Some kind of song about flying or something... I didn’t recognize it, but it sounded like a kid’s song. So all these people in suits and ties who had just left their offices were just staring at this guy, and the whole time I was thinking, “This guy must be totally crazy.” Just then, some guy dropped a 20-dollar bill on the ground, but he didn’t realize it and started to walk away. The guy in pink picked up the money, caught up to the guy, and gave it back to him! He even sang a little song, and everyone laughed and clapped their hands. After that, the man rode his unicycle down the street, turned a corner, and disappeared. I never saw him again. But every time I see someone drop some money on the ground by accident, I always think of that strange guy dressed in pink who made everybody happy that day.
