　　第一节 阅读理解 (共1小题；每小题2分，满分20分)

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

　　A

　　My 16-year-old son, Anton, had gone to the local swimming hole. Most of the kids swim there, and there are plenty of rocks for them to use as safe harbors, so I had no fears for his safety.

　　Still, the firefighter's first words "You need to come up here to the Stillwater River" made me catch my breath, and his follow-up words gave me relief: “ Your son is OK. ”

　　When I got to the river, I immediately saw the firetruck, ambulance and Anton, wrapped with a towel about his shoulders, sitting quietly on a low platform of the fire engine.

　　I hurried over to him. "You OK?" I asked.

　　“Yeah,” was all he said. But my eyes begged for an explanation, I didn't get it from my son, however, who tends to play his cards close to his vest.

　　The story was this: A woman was being swept under water. Hearing the cries, Anton and his friend Tyler, without hesitation, swam out to her, and brought her safely to shore.

　　In an age in which the word "hero" is broadcast with abandon and seemingly applied to anyone who make it through the day, I realized the real thing in my son. The teens are stubborn and self-centred, but that didn't mean they have no desire to do good.

　　Still shocked by my son's daring, I drove him home. Along the way, I tried to dig out some more information from him, but he had precious little to say. The only words he said were, “What's for supper?”

　　I spent some time alone that evening, thinking about the tragedy that might have been. The next morning, when Anton got up, I half expected him to tell me the story. But all he did was toast some bread, pull himself together, and head for the door to start a new day. Watching from the window, I was reminded that still water often runs deep.

　　31.Why did the mother allow her son to swim there?

　　A. He was an excellent swimmer.

　　B. The water of the river is shallow.

　　C. He was old enough to swim.

　　A. Anton is a boy fond of swimming with other kids

　　B. Anton is unwilling to tell others what he thinks

　　The Cuban iguana is a species of lizard（蜥蜴） of the iguana family. It is the largest of the West Indian rock iguanas, one of the most endangered groups of lizards. This species with red eyes and a thick tail is one of the largest lizards in the Caribbean.

　　The Cuban iguana is primarily herbivorous; 95% of its diet consists of the leaves, flowers and fruits from as many as 30 plant species, including the seaside rock bush and various grasses. However, Cuban iguanas occasionally consume animal matter, and individuals have been observed eating the dead flesh of birds, fish and crabs. The researchers wrote that quite a few people on Isla Magueyes could have caused this incident.

　　The Cuban iguana is distributed throughout the rocky southern coastal areas of mainland Cuba and its surrounding islands with a wild population booming on Isla Magueyes, Puerto Rico. It is also found on the Cayman Islands of Little Cayman and Cayman Brac, where a separate subspecies occurs. Females guard their nest sites and often nest in sites half destroyed by Cuban crocodiles. To avoid the attack from them, the Cuban iguana often makes its home within or near prickly-pear cacti（仙人掌）.

　　In general the species is in decline, more quickly on the mainland than on the outlying islands. One of the reasons for their decline is habitat destruction caused by the over consuming of farm animals, housing development, and the building of tourist resorts on the beaches where the animals prefer to build their nests. Although the wild population is in decline, the numbers of iguanas have been sharply increased as a result of captive-breeding（圈养）and other conservation programs.

　　35.The underlined word "herbivorous" （Paragraph 2） probably means

　　A. dangerous

　　B. gentle

　　C. plant-eating

　　D. flesh-eating

　　36.Why does the Cuban iguana build its nest near prickly-pear cacti?

　　A. To keep itself cool.

　　B. To get the food easily.

　　C. To stay away from people.

　　D. To avoid crocodiles' attack.

　　37.How many reasons are mentioned for the habitat destruction?

　　A. Two.

　　B. Three.

　　C. Four.

　　D. Five.

　　38.What's the author's purpose of writing the text?

　　A. To give us a brief introduction to the Cuban iguana.

　　B. To show he is concerned about the Cuban iguana.

　　C. To explain reasons for the Cuban iguana's decline.

　　D. To draw people's attention to the endangered Cuban iguana.

　　You often find somebody who works around you complaining all the time, don’t you？ 41 About 70% of Americans say being around nonstop complainers sometimes has a bad influence on them. Luckily, here are 4 tips to help form positive patterns.

　　1. Self-awareness

　　When a negative thought pops into your mind, immediately correct it. Instead of telling yourself 揟hat抯 a nice shirt, but I can抰 afford it,?change the messagad ie to 揟hat will look great with my black pants when I can afford it.?42

　　Of course, everyone complains sometimes. But the less frequently you complain, the better you will feel.

　　2. Distance yourself

　　43 Excuse yourself and go somewhere quiet, somewherade outdoors in the fresh air. Think of something pleasant before returning. You have to take this seriously because negative people can and will pull you into the quicksand（困境）.

　　If you find yourself trapped in a group of complainers in a meeting or at a social event, simply choose silence. Let their words bounce off you while you think of something else. Attempting to stop the complaining can make you a target. 44 If someone says, 揑 hate Mondays, weekends are too short,?try to think, 揑抦 glad I rested up over the weekend, so I抦 ready to make some improvement on that big project.?

　　When someone is shouting at you angrily, throw the responsibie you lity back at them by asking, 揝o what do you intend to do about it?In most cases, complainers don抰 really want a solution.
