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。
A
Television has turned 88 years old on September 7,2015,and it has never looked better.
In its youth,television was a piece of furniture with a tiny,round screen showing unclear pictures of low budget programs.In spite of its shortcomings,it became well-received.Between 1950 and 1963,the number of American families with a television jumped from 9% to 92% of the population.
As the audience got larger,the technology got better.Television sets became more reliable through the 1960s.Both of the reception and the picture improved.The major networks started broadcasting programs in color.
Even greater improvements were coming according to Sanford Brown,who wrote an article for the Post in 1967.Surprisingly,just about every prediction he made in the article became a reality.For example:All sets in the not distant future will be color instruments.He also predicted that TV sets would become smaller,simpler,more reliable and less expensive and may forever put the TV repairman out of work.Smaller sets do not,of course,mean smaller screens.TV engineers expect screens to get much bigger.However,today’s 3D TV is even farther away,if it’s coming at all.There is some doubt whether the public would be eager to pay for it,in view of people’s cold reception given to 3D movies.
But the technology with the greatest potential,according to Brown,was cable television (有线电视),which was still in its early stages then.As he predicted,the future of cable television was highly interactive.It wasn’t cable television that gave Americans their electronic connection to the world,however.It was the Internet.He even foresaw the future office:using picture phones,bigscreen televisions for conferences,and computers providing information,at the touch of a button.
Brown ever said,“The future of television is no longer a question of what we can invent.It’s a question of what we want.”
【语篇导读】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了电视的发展历史。
21.What can we infer about television sets in the 1960s?
A.They were very popular with Americans.
B.The reception showed no improvement.
C.They showed black-and-white pictures.
D.They were out of order now and then.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据文章第二段第二句话可知,尽管早期的电视有一些缺点,但仍很受欢迎;在1950至1963年间美国家庭中拥有电视的人口从9%上升到92%。由第三段内容可排除B、C、D三项。故选A项。
22.Which of the followings did Sanford Brown fail to predict?
A.Television’s good quality.
B.The invention of 3-D TV.
C.The future office’s model
D.The potential of cable TV.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“However,today’s 3D TV is even farther away,if it’s coming at all.”一句可知,Sanford Brown没有预测到3D技术在电视上的运用。故B项符合要求。
23.What is the text mainly about?
A.The shortcomings of television.
B.The bright future of television.
C.The development of television.
D.The invention of television.
答案:C
解析:主旨大意题。根据文章第一段内容就可以知道文章主要讲述的是电视的发展历史,故C项正确。
B
I’m seventeen.I had worked as a box boy at a supermarket in Los Angeles.People came to the counter and you put things in their bags for them and carried things to their cars.It was hard work.
While working,you wear a plate with your name on it.I once met someone I knew years ago.I remembered his name and said,“Mr Castle,how are you?” We talked about this and that.As he left,he said,“It was nice talking to you,Brett.” I felt great,he remembered me.Then I looked down at my name plate.Oh,no.He didn’t remember me at all;he just read the name plate.I wish I had put “Irving” down on my name plate.If he’d have said,“Oh yes,Irving,how could I forget you?” I’d have been ready for him.There’s nothing personal here.
The manager and everyone else who were a step above the box boys often shouted orders.One of these was:you couldn’t accept tips.Okay,I’m outside and I put the bags in the car.For a lot of people,the natural reaction is to take a quarter and give it to me.I’d say,“I’m sorry,I can’t.” They’d get angry.When you give someone a tip,you’re sort of being polite.You take a quarter and you put it in their hand and you expect them to say,“Oh,thanks a lot.” When you say,“I’m sorry,I can’t.” They feel a little put down.They say,“No one will know.” And they put it in your pocket.You say,“I really can’t.” It gets to a point where you almost have to hurt a person physically to prevent him from tipping you.It was not in agreement with the store’s belief in being friendly.Accepting tips was a friendly thing and made the customer feel good.I just couldn’t understand the strangeness of some people’s ideas.
One lady actually put it in my pocket,got in the car,and drove away.I would have had to throw the quarter at her or eaten it or something.
I had decided that one year was enough.Some people needed the job to stay alive and fed.I guess I had the means and could afford to hate it and give it up.

In the animal kingdom,weakness can bring about aggression in other animal.This sometimes happens with humans also.But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.I see it every day when people hold doors for me,pour cream into my coffee,or help me to put on my coat.And I have discovered that it makes them happy.
From my wheelchair experience,I see the best in people,but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.They don’t get to see this soft side of others often;we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness,which includes a lot of pretending.But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.
Last month,when I was driving home on a busy highway,I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual.People behind me began to get impatient and angry,with some speeding up alongside me,homing(按喇叭)or even shouting at me.At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty four years of driving.I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights,I was saying to other drivers,“I have a problem here.I am weak and doing the best I can.”And everyone understood.Several times,I saw drivers who wanted to pass.They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic.But instead of getting impatient and angry,they waited,knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way.But those are and far between.More often,it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.
【语篇导读】本文作者以自己的亲身经历说明了,当我们弱小时常常会引出人们的善良。
32.The author has discovered that people will feel happy when .

解析:推理判断题。根据文章最后一句:“More often,it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.”可知,作者认为我们不要经常假装那么坚强,而在我们确实弱小时就要表现出我们的弱小。
35.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.Wheelchair Experience
B.Weakness and Kindness.
C.Weakness and Strength
D.A Driving Experience
答案:B

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。
Have you ever wondered how to stop being shy?Shyness and social anxiety go together,because someone who is shy may be uncomfortable being around people—even though they very much want to be. 36
Figure out why you’re shy.
It can help you if you figure out why you’re shy in the first place. 37 But if you can figure out why you’re shy,you may be able to figure out a way to stop being shy as a result.
38
Once you realize why you’re shy,you can’t care about the past too much.You may have old reactions in place from those old situations,but you can change those.Remember that what happened years ago doesn’t have to affect you when it comes to how to stop being shy.
Accept yourself first.
People who don’t suffer from shyness are comfortable with themselves,first and foremost. 39 Accept yourself first,and you have a lot easier time when it comes to how to stop being shy in social situations,too.
Go for “real”.
There are a lot of people out there who are interested in being “social”.If you’re going to work hard at how to stop being shy,what you’ll really want to do is to develop lasting friendships with people who care about you. 40
When you become more comfortable,you’ll find that your shyness simply melts away around those people you care about most.
A.Make friends with people.
B.Realize the past doesn’t matter.
C.Sometimes it’s not absolutely necessary.
D.Here are some ways on how to stop being shy.
E.These people will want to make you feel comfortable.
F.You’ll never succeed in your whole life because you are shy.
G.So what you’ll need to work on is getting comfortable with you.
答案与解析:
【语篇导读】在社交场合,许多人会感到害羞,本文介绍了应对这种情况的方法,比如弄清楚害羞的原因,要认识到过去没那么重要,还有和合适的人打交道等。

37.C 解析:细节过渡题。上文中的“Figure out why you’re shy.”是段落主旨,再联系下文中but所表示的转折意义可知,有时候也是不必要的。
38.B 解析:主旨大意题。根据下文中的“...you can’t care about the past too much.”可知,要意识到过去没那么重要。
39.G 解析:细节过渡题。根据上文中的段落主题句“Accept yourself first.”可知,G项符合。
40.E 解析:细节过渡题。上文建议和关心你的人打交道,这些人会让你感到舒服。

In life we can hardly do without friends.There are many difficulties and problems we can’t overcome with only our own efforts.Besides,we need friends to share our joys and sorrows;otherwise we will feel lonely.
参考范文:
In life we can hardly do without friends.There are many difficulties and problems we can’t overcome with only our own efforts.Besides,we need friends to share our joys and sorrows;otherwise we will feel lonely.
What is true friendship?A good friend is someone who respects you and who you respect.As the saying goes,“A friend in need is a friend indeed.” True friends are those who never desert you when you are in need.On the contrary,they will offer you sincere and selfless help even at the cost of their own interests.Moreover,they will encourage you to stick to what is right and tell us not to do what is wrong or illegal.
In my opinion,true friendship is largely based on supporting each other.Whenever we have problems,we never hesitate to offer support to each other.Besides,we are supposed to help and trust each other.In conclusion,true friendship will stand the test of time.
