第二部分 阅读理解（共两节; 满分35分）
第一节：（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25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
When I was 12, all I wanted was a signet (图章) ring. They were the "in" thing and it seemed every girl except me had one. On my 13th birthday, my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials(姓名首字母) carved into it. I was in heaven.
What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn't being "replaced". We'd been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything—so most of the " new" stuff (东西) we got was really just to replace what we'd lost. But not my ring. My ring was new.
Then, only one month later, I lost it. I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning. I was
sad and searched everywhere for it. But it seemed to have disappeared. Eventually, I gave up and stopped looking for it. And two years later, we sold the house and moved away.
Years passed, and a couple of moves later, I was visiting my parents' when Mum told me that she had something for me. It wasn't my birthday, nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift-giving occasion. Mum noticed my questioning look. " You'll recognize this one," she said, smiling.
Then she handed me a small ring box. I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside. The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations, which included replacing the carpets. When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom, they found the ring. As it had my initials carved into it, they realized who owned the ring. They'd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother. And it still fits me.
21. When she got the ring back, the writer was about _____.
A. 13 years old
B. 15 years old
C. 26 years old
D. 28 years old
22. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. The writer's family moved several times.
B. The writer never stopped looking for her ring.
C. The writer's ring was cleaned up by the new house owner.
D. The writer lost her ring in the morning when she took it off.
23. What would be the best title for the passage
A. My New Ring
B. Lost and Found
C. Lost and Replaced
D. An Expensive Ring.
B
When John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier.
These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”
Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.
The relationship between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out. Working----at any age----is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence---the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this.
24. What do we know about John?
A. He enjoyed his career and marriage.
B. He had few childhood playmates.
C. He received little love from his family.
D. He was admired by others in his childhood.
25. Vaillant’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as _____.
A. a description of personal values and social values
B. an analysis of how work was connected with competence
C. an example for parents’ expectations of their children
D. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men
26. Vaillant’s team obtained their findings by _____.
A. recording the boys’ effort in school
B. evaluating the men’s mental health
C. comparing different sets of scores
D. measuring the men’s problem solving ability
C
Scientists in London say they have found the best diet for both humans and the planet. If the world followed the so-called “planetary health” diet, the scientists said that each year more than 11 million early deaths could be prevented. For the health of the planet, they stated the diet would reduce the greenhouse gases and save more land, water and animals.
This new food plan is the result of a three-year project, involving 37experts from 16 countries. Tim Lang, a professor at Britain’s University of London, co-led the research. He said, “The food we eat and how we produce it determine the health of people and the planet, and we are currently getting this seriously wrong.” Lang added that the world’s population is expected to grow to 10 billion by 2050. If we want to feed everyone, he explained, we all need to change what we eat and the way we eat by “improving food production and reducing food waste”.
So, what do you eat on the “planetary health” diet? It’s largely plant-based but still has small amounts of dairy products, fish and meat. The diet calls for cutting red meat and sugar by 50 percent and doubling the amount of nuts, fruits, vegetables and legumes (豆类).
Food situations around the world are not equal. In certain areas, this would mean great changes. People in North America, for example, eat 6.5 times the recommended amount of red meat, while people in South Asia eat only half the amount suggested by the new “planetary health” diet.
Meeting the aims for vegetables would need big changes in other areas. In sub-Saharan Africa, people on average eat 7.5 times the suggested amount of vegetables.
Walter Willer of Harvard University said that more than 800 million people around the world don’t get enough food while many more have very unhealthy diets. The scientists admit their goal will be difficult to achieve. But for them, doing nothing is also not a choice. Willet said, “ If we can’t quite make it, it’s better to try and get as close as we can.
27. What makes it necessary to adopt the “planetary health” diet according to Lang?
A. The increasing early death rate of babies.
B. The serious problem of food waste worldwide.
C. The greenhouse effect and shortage of resources.
D. The challenge of feeding the growing world population.
28. What can we know about the new diet?
A. It encourages people to eat more sugar.
B. It includes a limited amount of red meat.
C. It changes with the local food production.
D. It just consists of plants and dairy products.
29. To meet the aims of the “planetary health” diet,______.
A. people in South Asia should have more red meat
B. people in sub-Saharan Africa should eat more vegetables
C. people in North America should cut red meat by 50 percent
D. people across the globe should have fewer nuts and legumes
30.What does Willet mean in the last paragraph?
A. He disagrees with the new diet.
B. Announcing the new diet now is a bad choice.
C. People should try their best to keep the new diet.
D. The food inequality around the world is unavoidable.

I am Daniel, 30. I never thought I would be teaching a class. My teaching experience has been unbelievable. 31 Here are some of the many things I learned when teaching an adult education class at WRCC.
When I was first offered the opportunity to teach an adult education on technology, I thought it would be a great experience. However, I didn’t realize how much fun it would be. I never feel like it was something unpleasant. Before I would start my class, especially for the first few times, I would get very nervous. 32
One of the reasons I enjoyed my teaching experience so much was the great students I had. In a high school class, usually not everyone concentrates on the classes. 33 They all wanted to be learning and improving themselves there.
34 Each one of my students had a different level of experience and different things they wanted to learn. This made it very hard to try and get everyone on the same page.
I learned that teaching requires more than just reading notes aloud and guiding students. It requires reinforcement, seeking feedback, and a million other things that I had never thought of. I owe a lot to my business teacher, Ms Cornel, who gave me any amount of help and advice. 35 Given the opportunity, I would be willing to teach there again in the future.
A. Teaching is not always an easy job.
B. The class required a lot of preparation.
C. This was definitely not true with my students.
D. I still feel funny to call people “ my students”.
E.I think I learned as much from the class as the students did.
F. But I began to really enjoy it before long and my anxiety gradually went away.
G. Without her, I would not overcome the difficulties during my teaching experience.

Then I said , “When she started it was just the beginning of a(n) 51 , but she kept at it for 40 years. And she made it 52 . She changed the world, one at a time!”
“If I’d had such an idea and 53 at it, just a little bit every day, what might I have 54 ?” I asked myself. Carolyn looked at me, smiling. “Start tomorrow,” she said. “Better yet, 55 today.”
