第二部分：阅读理解(第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分)
第一节：阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
It is impossible to think about “growing up” in modern America without considering the role of the “youth culture” which every young person ---- even those who do not attend public school---- is confronted by and must deal with. It is impossible to be so isolated that we are untouched by the surrounding culture.
There is not one youth culture that defines all young people. Popular youth culture embraces a diversity of sub-cultures or “tribes” such as skaters, druggies, snobs, band geeks, Satanists and Jesus freaks. Groups distinguish themselves by dress, style, music and language. Most adults can’t tell the difference and many unfairly associated all high school students who wear black with violence and drugs.
My generation has put obstacles in front of the next generations----making the process of growing up much more difficult than it needs to be. We have left them a huge national debt, an uncertain economic future, a global environmental disaster, a corrupt political system. And we have left them to their peers and the media to figure everything out.
In his book The Rise and Fall of the American Teenager, Thomas Hines makes the uncomfortable observation that the baby boomers “seem to have moved from blaming our parents for the ills of society to blaming our children. We want them to embody virtues we only rarely practice. We want them to avoid habits we’ve never managed to break. They send us the unwelcome, rarely voiced message that we, the adults, have failed.”
If we care about our children, their friends, and the whole shape of the next generation, it is essential for us to try to understand the world they are growing up in, and to dialogue with them about it. We must know them as individuals and friends whom we care about, listen to, learn from and respect.
41.The underlined “baby boomers” means ____.
A. doctors
B. parents
C. an increasing number of young people
D. specialists studying youth culture
42.Towards the young generation, which one is wrong?
A. Parents are puzzled
B. Parents are disappointed
C. Parents think the youth culture acceptable
D. Parents find it challenging to educate their children
43.According to the writer, adults had better ____.
A. sometimes talk with young people
B. sake young people obey to them
C. dialogue with them and, if necessary, with a little violence
D. encourage the young
44.The passage is probably taken from ___.
A. a newspaper
B. a survey
C. The Rise and Fall of the American Teenager
D. an article written by someone
B
In 1997, 16,189 Americans were killed by alcohol-related crashes, accounting for nearly half of all traffic fatalities. That’s another person killed every 32 minutes. But those are just casualties. An additional 327,000 Americans were injured in crashes in which alcohol was involved-- roughly one person every other minute.
The people killed and injured in these crashes came from every social, racial, and economic background. They were our friends, our schoolmates, our sons and daughters, our mothers and fathers, aunts and uncles. They were children, teenagers and adults. They were not just numbers.
Driving under the influence of alcohol is underestimated again and again. Drinking alcohol and driving are both activities that Americans do so routinely, few seriously consider the results of getting in a car drunk. So this is the problem: drunk driving is nation’s most frequently committed violent crime.
But there is more to driving under the influence than just driving under the influence of alcohol. What many people fail to realize is that alcohol is not the only drug that affects driving skills. Education stresses alcohol so much, people don’t realize that even simple, over the counter(不用处方买来的) decongestants can affect driving skills—not to mention illegal drugs.
The problem is, people are dying. And perhaps if they had known better, they wouldn’t have got into that car, or had those last couple of drinks. Or they would have had a designated(被指派的) driver. People need to know before they can act. They need to know the dangers of driving under the influence.
45.In the first paragraph, the underlined part can be replaced by__________.
A. making up B. taking up C. consisting of D. making up of
46.Why were so many people killed or injured in alcohol-related alcohol crashes?
A. Because people are ignorant of the alcohol influence on driving skills
B. Because people don’t care much about their safety
C. Because people don’t think much of the dangers of drunk driving
D. Because people don’t know drunk driving is a violent crime.
47.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage,?
A. There is one casualty every two minutes in alcohol-involved accidents.
B. Whatever social background we have, we have the possibility of being injured in a traffic accident related with alcohol.
C. As long as drivers didn’t have those last couple of drinks and didn’t get drunk, accidents could be avoided.
D. There are other matters that have a much worse effect than alcohol on driving skills.
C
Ireland: Best Country to Live in
Ireland is the best place to live in the world, according to a “quality of life” assessment by Economist magazine. The country’s combination of increasing wealth and traditional values most likely make its people happy, the survey found. Ireland was followed by Switzerland, Norway, Luxembourg, Sweden, Australia, Iceland, Italy, Denmark and Spain. All but one of the top 10 were European countries. Researchers took into account not just income, but other factors considered important to people’s satisfaction and well-being. They included health, freedom, unemployment, family life, climate, political stability and security, gender equality and family and community life.
Rice: First Black Woman Secretary of State in America
A college student at 15, a professor at Stanford University at 26, and advisor to the US president at 35, Condoleezza Rice has always been a high achiever. Now her greatest achievement has come as she replaces Colin Powell to be the US’s first black female Secretary of State. As the top diplomat, Rice became the highest-ranking black woman in the history of the US Government. But her success came as no surprise to the people who knew her well. “No one would have thought decades ago this kid would one day sit in the White House. But she was always such a rare combination of intelligence and charm, it just seems so right,” said Woolfolk, a childhood friend of Rice.
Yao Tells about His NBA Life
Yao Ming, who is undoubtedly China’s most famous athlete, has decided to tell his story in a book called Yao: A Life in Two Worlds. Coauthored by US sports reporter Ric Bucher, the book tells the inside story of Yao’s rookie year in the NBA. Yao reveals himself to be a thoughtful, opinionated young man whose insights extend far beyond the basketball court. He also recounts the ups and downs he experienced from the draft pick to negotiations with the CBA before finally arriving at the NBA. The English version of the book hit bookstores simultaneously in Shanghhai, Beijing and the US.
48.According to the assessment by Economist magazine, the second best place to live in the world is _______.
A. Spain B. Ireland C. Switzerland D. Iceland
49.Which of the following is True?
A. All the people were surprised when Conodoleezza Rice replaced Colin Powell to be the US’s Secretary of State.
B. A Life in Two Worlds is written by Yao Ming.
C. Income is the only factor to be taken into account in the “quality of life” assessment.
D. Rice is the highest-ranking black woman in American government history.
50.The underlined word “simultaneously” means ______.
A. at the same time B. later C. respectively D. following
51.The passage is probably chosen from ______.
A. newspaper B. a magazine C. Internet D. textbook
D
Daniel Spangenburger, a high-school senior in Berkeley Springs, W. Va., dreams of attending a prestigious college like Carnegie Mellon or Cornell. A degree from either “could make a difference for the rest of my life,” he says. And on the face of it, Spangenburger has what it takes: eight Advanced Placement courses and an impressive 3.9 grade-point average. He scored 1,330 on his SAT, well within the ranger desired by many elite schools, and now that he’s borrowed an SAT prep book, he hopes to break 1,400 on his second try. His teachers say he’s smart, motivated and exceptionally mature. He holds two after-school jobs and also finds time to volunteer, setting up a computer café at the local Boys & Girls Club. And he drives his mother, who is battling cancer, to her monthly chemo sessions. Only two obstacles stand between Spangenburger and his dream: he comes from a poor family (neither parent went to college) and attends a rural high school. “With the right kind of college education, Daniel could do great things,” say Berkeley Springs High School principal George Ward. “But so many smart rural kids fall through the cracks. Top students don’t know Daniel exists.”
In an ideal world, the nation’s elite schools would enroll the most qualified students. But that’s not how it works. Applicants whose parents are alums(校友) get special treatment, as do athletes and rich kids. Underrepresented minorities are also given preference. Thirty years of affirmative action(平权法案) have changed the complexion of mostly white universities; now about 13 percent of all undergraduates are black or Latino. But most come from middle- and upper-middle-class families. Poor kids of all ethnicities remain scarce. A recent study by the Century Foundation found that at the nation’s 146 most competitive schools, 74 percent of students came from upper-middle-class and wealthy families, while only about 5 percent came from families with an annual income of roughly $35,000 or less.
52.The following statements about Spangenburger are all false except _____.
A. he scored 1,300 on his second try
B. he set up a computer café to earn money
C. he attends an urban high school
D. he is qualified for top colleges
53. The underlined word in paragraph 1 can best be replaced by____.
A. handicaps
B. facts
C. ways
D. factors
54. From this passage we know that ____.
A. a black student can easily go to a top university
B. 13 percent of the undergraduates are black
C. about 30 years ago there are only white students in universities
D. more than half of the students come from wealthy families
55. The following students can get preference except____.
A. athletes
B. poor kids
C. students whose parents are alums
D. rich kids
56. Which of the following best summarizes what the author tries to tell us?
A. the nation’s elite schools enroll the most qualified students
B. Money is important for students.
C. Rural kids have difficulty in attending top colleges.
D. Underrepresented minorities are preferred after affirmative action was passed.
E
In 1860, 11-year-old Grace Bedell saw a picture of Abraham Lincoln and didn’t like the way he looked. Grace wrote Lincoln a letter: “If you will let your whiskers grow…you would look so much better for your face is thin.” Lincoln took Grace’s advice. He grew a beard.
Not every president takes a child’s letter to heart, as Lincoln did. Below are just a few of the thousands of letters kids have sent U.S. presidents over the years.
Don’t Draft My Dad
In 1943, at the height of the Second World War, 10-year-old Carolyn Weatherhogg wrote a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt: “I am sending in a suggestion, that is draft fathers alphabetically.”
The government at the time was drafting, or ordering people to serve in the military. Carolyn hoped that because her father’s last name began with W.
There was no return address on the letter, and no one knows what happened to Carolyn’s father. Roosevelt did not reply.
Disaster Relief
When Ronald Reagan was president, he believed that the government should not solve all of the nation’s problems. But that didn’t stop seventh grade Andy Smith of Irmo, S.C., from asking Reagan for “federal funds to hire a crew to clean up my room.”
“Today my mother declared my bedroom a disaster area,” Andy wrote, “I am prepared to provide the initial funds if you will provide matching funds for this project.”
In response, Reagan noted that Andy’s mother was probably “fully justified” in declaring the youngster’s room a disaster area. But “this administration has done many things that could better be done by volunteers… You are in an excellent position to launch another volunteer program to go along with the more than 3,000 already under way in our nation.” Andy never got the cash.
57.According to the text, the youngest child who wrote a letter to the U.S. president is ______ years old.
A. 10 B. 11 C. 7 D. 18
58.We can learn from Reagan’s reply that __________.
A. he thought highly of what the government has done for the public
B. he agreed with what Andy’s mother suggested
C. there were over 3,000 volunteer programs around the U.S.A at that time
D. he could help Andy
59. Carolyn Weatherhogg wrote the letter to the president in order to_______.
A. ask the president to stop the war
B. recommend his father to the president
C. let his father not be drafted for a long time
D. present a good proposal to win the war
60. The best title for the test would be ______.
A. Dear Mr. President B. Children and Presidents
C. Presidents and Wars D. A President with Beard

How People Spent Their Holidays
The ways people spent their holidays changed much.
The table shows that a greater number of people spent their holidays traveling abroad, the rate of which in 2006(66%) doubled that of 1997(33%). And we are sure it is still increasing because more and more people can afford the journeys.
The rate of people going camping and climbing mountains in 2006(48%) is four times of that in 1997(12%). The reason may be that the beauty of nature is attracting people who are eager to get closer to nature.
Things about traveling to the seaside were different. The rate dropped from 40% in 1997 to 23% in 2006. This is because of pollution. The polluted seaside would certainly drive the visitors away.
