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）

A

A schoolboy, who has been unable to play sports, has found the perfect entertainment—snowboarding. Thomas Pettigrew is enjoying himself by performing difficult actions at freestyle events.

The youngster can’t join in PE lessons at school, because he suffers from a rare condition, which means his body dangerously overheats. This makes it difficult for his body to cool down naturally. But the ice-cool temperatures on the mountains mean Thomas can slide down the slopes freely.

His father Richard came up with the idea of taking Thomas snowboarding in March, 2010. Now while other children look forward to playing outside in the sunshine, Thomas is applying his new activity at the Snow Zone in Castleford, in temperatures of about -5℃. Mr. Pettigrew said, “When Thomas tries most sports, he has to stop when he gets too hot but that never happens with snowboarding. I was surprised at how good he was when he started. He now goes every week for three or four hours. He’s been so enthusiastic about his snowboarding that he’s even persuaded me to have a go, so we can enjoy it together.”

Thomas’s parents have spent the past 10 years watching the schoolboy for any signs of overheating, only taking him on holiday in the cooler months. “He has no energy and no interest in doing anything if he overheats and we do whatever it takes to cool his temperature, such as putting him in the car with the air conditioner working or running cold baths.”

Aiden Harington, head of the ski school at Snow Zone, said, “Snow sports are a great way for anyone to keep fit, but seem to be particularly beneficial to Thomas as he is able to make sure he stays cool. Thomas does very well in snowboarding, and he can now perform plenty of freestyle actions. I’m sure that he will continue to progress in the coming months, and hopefully take part in some of our freestyle events.”

21. Thomas Pettigrew thinks snowboarding is __________.

A. dangerous B. pleasant C. healthful D. difficult

22. What can we know from the third paragraph?

A. Thomas has a talent for snowboarding.

B. The family enjoy snowboarding every day.

C. Thomas has tried plenty of sports and hasn’t found a suitable one.

D. Thomas’s mother was the first person to take Thomas snowboarding.

23. Thomas’s parents need to cool down his body once he is __________.

A. nervous B. excited C. spiritless D. sleepy

24. According to the passage, Aiden Harington __________.

A. is a snowboarding fan

B. believes Thomas has great possibility for developing snowboarding skills

C. thinks snowboarding can help cure Thomas’s disease

D. encourages and helps Thomas a lot

B

Five years after a deadly earthquake and tsunami hit Japan, recovery remains years away.

More than 16,000 people died in the disaster and more than 470,000 were removed from their homes, says the Japanese Red Cross Society. Over 2,500 people are still missing and predicted dead. After pressure from survivors, the Japanese Coast Guard began underwater searches for the missing.

In Fukushima, more than 100,000 families still cannot return home, says the Red Cross Society. This is because of radioactive pollution from the damaged Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

In Japan, the disaster is known as “3-1-1” , marking the date five years ago.

It was really three disasters rolled into one.

“It started with an earthquake devastating (毁灭) in itself, then the tsunami, and then the radiation from the nuclear plant,” said Shioko Goto, a Japan expert at the Wilson Center in Washington, D.C..Goto said the disaster showed the world, “Japanese resilience (快速恢复的能力) and Japanese unity.”

But it also showed shortcomings. Among the most notable, the long time it took to stabilize the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant after it was flooded from the tsunami, Goto said. That process took eight months. Another, Japan’s dependence on nuclear power, she said. The disaster forced Japan to close all of its nuclear power plants, leaving parts of the country without electricity.

Goto offered up one major difference from the last major Japanese disaster, the 1995 Kobe Earthquake. In 2011, social media was everywhere, she said. Social media offered up plenty of “unfounded rumors and fear-mongering (制造恐慌),” Goto said.

But it also kept pressure on Japanese authorities to do more. Chikara Yoshida lost his only son, a 43-year-old volunteer fireman, on March 11, 2011. He and his daughter posted a petition (请愿书) on Facebook to restart underwater searches. It drew over 28,000 signatures, according to the Associated Press.

The Japanese Coast Guard announced that it would resume searches this week. There have also been complaints that reconstruction efforts in hard-hit northern Japanese communities have been too slow. This week, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said the government will respond.

25. The number of the people who died in the disaster is _______.

A. more than 18,500 B. over 16,000

C. over 470,000 D. more than 2,500

26. What are the three disasters rolling into one?

A. Nuclear power, tsunami and earthquake.

B. Flood, earthquake and tsunami.

C. Flood, tsunami and nuclear power.

D. Earthquake, tsunami and nuclear radiation.

27. Which of the following statements is true?

A. In Fukushima, more than 10,000 families still cannot return home.

B. The disaster forced Japan to close most of its nuclear power plants.

C. Japanese authorities were forced to do more after the disaster.

D. Chikara Yoshida and his daughter posted a petition on the Associated Press.

28. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. the government can’t afford such a large sum of money in reconstruction efforts.

B. People complained reconstruction efforts in hard-hit northern Japanese communities have been too slow.

C. People in hard-hit northern communities have had a happy life since the disaster.

D. The government may take measures to promote reconstruction.
