第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分 ）

（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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

I got invited to go with some friends to a game at another school. A senior will be driving us, and I think she’s a good driver, but it’s someone my parents don’t know. I want to tell my parents where I’m going, but what if I ask and they say “no”? I’ll end up wishing I never mentioned it and just went ahead and did it anyway.

If you want more privileges, it’s best to build a track record of honesty and trust. Letting a parent know where you’re going is always a good idea.

You may worry that telling your parents puts you at risk of getting “no” for an answer. But there’s a good chance your parents might be OK with you going. If you go but don’t tell them, you risk losing something more important — your parents’ trust.

Parents who find out their kids did something behind their backs may be less likely to give permission to do things in the future. When trust is broken like this, parents wonder if teens are trying to hide something — and what they imagine can be far worse than the reality.

Before you talk to your parents about the game, think about which approach will help them feel most comfortable with giving you more freedom. Maybe they’d like to meet the person driving or talk to friends who have driven with her in the past. If your parents have questions or hesitate about letting you go, find out what their worries are and then do your best to answer them.

21. From Paragraph 1 we know that the writer _________.

A. appears nervous B. feels confused

C. looks worried D. seems discouraged

22. What is the best way to get parents’ permission according to the passage?

A. To get more privileges from them.

B. To risk gaining their permission.

C. To keep off the track of reality.

D. To be honest and win their trust.

23. What does the writer really want to tell us?

A. Which effective approach to use.

B. How to deal with strict parents.

C. How to win over parents.

D. How to get freedom from parents.

24. Who do you think the passage is intended for?

A. Parents. B. Friends. C. Drivers. D. Teenagers.

B

Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?

UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”.

Nitrogen（氮） and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi（真菌）networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons（神经元）in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.

Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.

“We didn't take any notice of it.” Simard says sadly . “Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them a chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.

25. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Old Trees Communicate Like Humans

B. Young Trees Are In Need Of Protection

C. Trees Are More Complex Than You Think

D. Trees Contribute To Our Society

26. In Simard's opinion, trees _______ .

A. depend on each other B. protect their own wealth

C. compete for survival D. provide support for dying trees

27. We can learn from the passage that

A. “mother trees” are usually of no use to other trees.

B. Charles Darwin had the same thought as Simard.

C. people know much about the complex “tree societies”.

D. if “mother trees” are cut down, the survival for the entire forest will be affected.

28. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to .

A. how trees grow old B. how “tree societies” work

C. how forestry industry develops D. how young trees survive

C

New Yorkers and visitors to the Big Apple will get to ring in the Lunar New Year, also known as Chinese New Year in the USA, in style with a fireworks display on the Hudson River set to music?written by Academy Award-winning composer Tan Dun.

The display is part of the second annual “Happy Chinese New Year: Fantastic Art China” festival held in New York on February 5-10, 2016. The China Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA), the USA-China Cultural Institute and the Cultural Associate of the Committee of 100 announced this year’s events?on?November 18 at a press conference at the?Lincoln Center.

The “Fantastic Art China” festival will?feature a larger and more diverse series of artistic and cultural events across New York’s top cultural venues (地点) and landmarks, including the Lincoln Center, Empire State Building and Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.

This year’s theme focuses on exploring the complicated relationship between sound and image, said Professor Yu Ding from CAFA, who is also president of Fantastic Art China and?in charge of the festival’s design. Lunar New Year, which celebrates the “Year of the Monkey” in 2016,?is an?opportunity to bring China’s modern art to mainstream America, and the festival serves as?an innovative approach to establishing cultural exchange between China and New York City, Yu said.

UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador Tan Dun’s music is a new edition that will be featured??at several venues, including a major art exhibition at the Javits Center, events at the Lincoln Center and?the fireworks display on the Hudson, which will take place on the evening of February 6. Five barges (游艇) on the river will launch the fireworks designed by CAFA that will tell a story about celebration and conservation.
