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
As a capital city full of art and history, London is an important political centre and a huge financial marketplace. Whatever you think about London, visiting as a tourist is very different from living there. Each part of London has its own character. Some parts are richer than others, or more industrial, or have better housing.
Let’s start with the centre, the “Square Mile”. This is the oldest part of London. In the past, it was where all financial business was done. Not many people live here, but 300,000 people work here every day.
Moving west, we come to the West End. This busy shopping and entertainment district is bursting with things to do. Take a walk down Oxford Street, and you will see big department stores like Selfridges and Harrods. Rents here are very high; a one-bedroom apartment may cost around 1,000 pounds a week. Further away is West London. This area is more residential(住宅的)and very fashionable.
The East End contains the Port of London, which historically is where many immigrants first arrived. Waves of French, Belgians, Jews, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis have all lived here. This makes the culture of this area very various. London won the bid to hold the Olympics in 2012, so many Londoners hope that housing, education and employment for many people in this area will improve.
It is difficult to be general about London. The city is made up of a " collection of villages”,each area with its own character and community. Put them all together, and you have London, an international capital.
21.Which of the following descriptions about Square Mile is NOT true?
A.It is the oldest part of London. B.It is the center of London.
C.All financial business was once done there. D.300,000 people live there.
22.Tom, an American, wants to go shopping in London. He had better go to .
A.the East End B.the West End
C.the Port of London D.the Square Mile
23.According to the passage, Harrods is .
A.a department store B.a residential area
C.a famous square D.a small village
24.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A.The East End is richer than other parts of London. B.There must be many ships in the East End.
C.People living in the East End have good housing. D.Most Londoners are satisfied with their government.
B
Telling fewer lies benefits people physically and mentally. Anita E. Kelly, study author and professor of psychology at the University of Notre Dame, employed 110 adults for her study. She divided them into two groups and asked one group to stop lying for 10 weeks. Lies included big ones and tiny ones—any false statements—but participants were still allowed to leave out the truth, keep secrets and avoid questions they didn’t want to answer, etc. The other group wasn’t given any special instructions about lying.
It turned out that both groups reduced their lying, but those who were specifically told to tell the truth improved their health more. "We found that the
participants could purposefully and dramatically reduce their everyday lies. That in turn was associated with significantly improved health," said Kelly.
When participants in the no-lie group told three fewer white lies than they did in other weeks, they experienced, on average, fewer mental-health complaints and physical complaints. They were less likely to feel tense or sad and also experienced fewer sore throats and headaches. They also reported that personal relationships improved. Additionally, participants found themselves honest about their daily accomplishments, and they stopped making up excuses for being late or failing to complete a task, for example.
" It's certainly a worthy goal to have people be more honest and interact with others in a more honest way,” says University of Massachusetts psychologist Robert Feldman. “That would be beneficial. I'm a little doubtful whether it makes us all healthier, but it may make us healthier in a psychological way."
25.The participants of the two groups .
A.told as many lies as before B.were almost equally healthy
C.tended to lie less about their activities D.experienced tenser personal relationships
26.From Robert Feldman, we can learn that .
A.white lies might make people have more complaints
B.honesty is likely to help people become mentally healthier
C.people should not be honest with others but with themselves
D.telling the truth can make people physically and mentally healthy
27.The text is mainly about .
A.the connection of honesty and health B.research on physical and mental health
C.advice on being an honest person D.effects of honesty on personal relationships
C

Imagine putting a seed in a freezer,waiting 30,000 years,and then taking the seed out and planting it. Do you think a flower would grow?
Amazingly, scientists have just managed to do something very similar. They found the fruit of an ancient plant that had been frozen underground in Siberia—a
region covering central and eastern Russia—for about 31,800 years. Using pieces of the fruit,the scientists grew plants in a lab. The new blooms have delicate white petals. They are also the oldest flowering plants that researchers have ever revived from a deep freeze.
“This is like regenerating a dinosaur from tissues of an ancient egg,’’said Jane Shen-Miller,a biologist of University of California,Los Angeles.
The plant has a long history. Back when mammoths and woolly rhinoceroses walked on the land, an Arctic ground squirrel buried seeds and fruits in an underground chamber near the Kolyma River in northeastern Siberia. The ground became pennafrost, a layer of soil that stays frozen for a long time.
Recently, Russian scientists dug out the old squirrel hole and found the plant remains 38 meters below the surface. Back at the lab, the team fed nutrients to tissue from three of the fruits to grow shoots. Then the scientists transferred the shoots to pots filled with soil. The plants produced seeds that could be used to grow even more of them.
It’s important for scientists to know that plant tissues can still be revived after being frozen for a long time. That’s because many researchers are trying to preserve the seeds of modem plants by freezing them and then storing them in giant lockers at various spots around the globe. One such endeavor,an underground facility in Norway,is called the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. It stores hundreds of thousands of frozen seeds. If a plant ever goes extinct, scientists could bring it back by taking its seeds from the Svalbard or other storage lockers.
“No one knows how long they are able to live for,but freezing is basically the format for many plant conservation attempts nowadays,’’Jane Shen-Miller said. It’s a good thing that at least some plants are tough enough to survive in the experience.
32.Which of the following was NOT used to recreate the ancient plant?
A.Modem nutrients.
B.Parts of the
fruits.
C.Its frozen seeds.
D.Plant pots with soil.
33.Why are scientists interested in this discovery?
A.It helps them learn how plant life has changed in the past 30,000 years.
B.It can help guide future efforts to protect endangered plants5 life.
C.It can provide directions for where to look for other ancient plants.
D.It proves that all plant life can survive for thousands of years when frozen.
34.The underlined word "they", in the final paragraph refers to .
A.plants
B.seeds
C.scientists
D.storage lockers
35.The purpose of the passage is to .
A.discuss a plant conservation effort
B.introduce some ancient plants
C.outline some causes of global warming
D.describe a scientific research project
