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。

A

Signing up for a digital TV service provides you with access to over 200 channels from all over the globe. However, television today is dominated by adult language, making it hard for concerned families to find channels suitable for young eyes. Therefore, most movie channels are automatically removed form the list of TV channels for an entire family. The following are some good ones based on popularity on a global scale.

Discovery Channel

Discovery and its many channels can be considered as the founding father of informative channels on television. What National Geographic does in a scholastic(学术的) manner, Discovery tries to do in an entertaining manner—educating the masses about anything and everything.

Fox Family

Finding a movie channel that broadcasts pictures suitable for teenagers and kids alike is very difficult unless your service operator offers you Fox family movies. This channel screens most movies before it broadcasts them, ensuring that no movie shows unacceptable material for young eyes.

Nickelodeon

A channel very similar to Cartoon Network, it mostly shows US programs. However, their shows are sometimes a bit more mature for younger kids and better suited to kids aged 5and up.

ABC Family

ABC started the ABC family channel in an attempt to introduce family-centered shows and serials to the public in the USA. The need for this channel was felt after ABC observed the lack of proper family type US channels.

Living

If travelling is a family hobby and better living is the motto then there is no better channel than Living. Kids can see never-seen-before sights, learning about new places while adults can practice their cooking and learn amazing things about motorbikes.

21. According to the text, most channels offered by a digital TV service ______.

A. can keep people away from TV violence

B. are welcomed by families with small children

C. are concerned about the proper use of language

D. are unsuitable for the whole family to watch together

A. Relaxing. B. Touching. C. Commercial. D. Professional.

23. If people want to know about what a traditional family is like, they can choose ____.

B

I believe you can do your best. Not being the best but toughing the limits of what you’re capable of. I gained this belief from my third grade teacher, the most special, honored, trustworthy, and loved person in my life.

Mr. Myrus was always perfectly dressed and spoke with the belief that talking to eight-year-olds didn’t mean he had to sacrifice proper statements or grammars. And he was demanding but he wasn’t unreasonable or cruel. He simply felt that no matter what your best was, you should achieve it.

As luck would have it, I met him again as my eighth grade math teacher. I was not, nor ever will be, gifted in math. I remember my struggles in class. “I don’t know the answer,” I would say, “I can’t do it!” “Perhaps you don’t know the answer,” he would say quietly. “Do you think we might figure it out together? How do you know what you can do until you try?”

Mr. Myrus lived around the corner, and I would often stop by to talk while he worked in his garden. I knew there was someone who let me know that if I had really tried, that was enough.

“Don’t be so hard on yourself,” he’d say. “Stop blaming yourself. Did you try your best? Well, then you’re not a failure,” he often told me these words.

Mr. Myrus died in 1978. I had never thought about his death. He was too young. I felt sorry. But when I think about him now, I don’t feel so sorry. He taught me to be kind, not only to others, but to myself. He taught me my own value. He taught me about honor, about truth, and about doing my best—and that all feelings and beliefs have dignity and deserve respect. And of all the things I know, this I believe: We can’t all be “the best”, but we can, each of us, be our best, and I know that’s true because Mr. Myrus told me that.

24. What can we know about Mr. Myrus according to the passage?

A. He usually treats his students in a hard way.

B. He is responsible for his teaching and students.

C. He is a person who isn’t particular about what he wears.

D. He sometimes is cruel and unreasonable to his students.

25. The author thought he was a lucky dog because ______.

A. he had got a great belief from his teacher

B. Mr. Myrus had taught him for eight years

C. Mr. Myrus became his teacher a second time

D. he developed a good relationship with Mr. Myrus

26. It can be concluded from the third paragraph that ______.

A. the author preferred other subjects to math

B. Mr. Myrus thought it was very easy to learn math

C. the author was ashamed to admit his math was poor

D. Mr. Myrus helped the author build up his confidence

27. What can we learn by reading the passage?

A. The author hoped to live a positive life. B. The author may have become a teacher.

C. The author liked to recall his childhood. D. The author ended up being a man of self-confidence.

C

The desert tortoise is found in the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts in North America. It is listed as an endangered species under the United States federal Endangered Species Act and is considered“vulnerable”by the International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN). Despite the laws that protect them, their numbers are still on the decline.

The desert tortoise in the areas has lived for thousands of years. This animal is able to survive ground temperature over 140℉ and is known to live as long as 60 to 80 years. However, ninety-five percent of the life of a desert tortoise is spent in the ground escaping the heat in a hole or passage in the ground. Holes can be easily destroyed by off-highway vehicles that do not stay on built roads. Disasters also occur when they seek shade under parked cars.

Desert tortoises are also harmed by several diseases such as the upper respiratory tract disease often found in adopted tortoises. Pet owners’ releasing sick tortoises into the wild has resulted in diseases being spread to wild tortoises.

The desert tortoise feeds on a dune(沙丘) primrose(报春花) during spring. Non-native Sahara mustard (芥菜) seen in the background is a weed that competes with the native plants for water and nutrients. In some areas, mustard grows so densely that it is nearly impossible for desert tortoises to pass through. Vehicles, which do not stay on built roads and do not get washed frequently, contribute to spreading weeds.

Rubbish, such as burst balloon, is a danger to desert tortoises. The balloon can be mistaken for food by desert tortoises and, once consumed, may remain in the stomachs giving them a false sense of fullness that may cause them to starve.

28. What does the underlined word“vulnerable”in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A. Easily harmed. B．Very useful. C. Well protected. D．Hardly noticed.

29. Why does the desert tortoise spend most of its time underground?

A. To save energy for a long life． B. To escape cross-country vehicles.

C. To shelter themselves from other animals. D. To protect themselves from the heat．

30. What can we learn about the tortoise?

A. It digests split balloon easily． B. It lives on native plants．

C. It can fill itself up with burst balloon． D. It promotes the grow
