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A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出合适选项。
A
We thought we had it all---a beautiful house, three healthy children and one more on the way, two cars, a couple of four-wheelers for entertainment---and we loved it. Then, the market turned and my husband’s job at a construction company was gone. The company was closing down for good.
We both started looking for jobs right away, but there weren't any to be found. With each passing day we were getting increasingly worried and we continued to work together in order to pull our family through. The more we pulled together, the closer we got. I felt feelings of admiration for my husband that I hadn't felt in years.
That's why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself for our present situation. I continually asked him to stop, but he seemed to want to punish himself for not having a job.
Finally, one afternoon I pulled him aside and said, “We have four healthy children. That's what's important. That makes you a rich man.”
“But what if we lose the house? They'll hate me-you'll hate me,” he replied.
I smiled at him and put my hands on both sides of his face to make him look me in the eye. “No matter where we live I will be happy--as long as I have you.” I smiled again. In all the struggling together I had found that deep love for him that I had on the day we said “I do”.
I could see his shoulders and neck relaxed. He held me close and we were able to talk and plan and dream together in a way that we hadn't for quite some time. It was a turning point for us as a couple and a family.
We are still struggling for our better life, but I consider us well-off because we have something that money can't buy and no one can take away from us.
21. Why was it hard or the author to watch her husband blame himself?
A. She thought she should be blamed
B. She thought he had tried his best
C. She thought he would get a job someday
D. She thought it would remind her of sad memories
22. Which of the following can best describe the couple’s present life?
A. Bitter but quiet B. Comfortable and easy
C. Hard but happy D. Well-off and relaxing
23. The best title of the text might be     .
A. We Have It All B. We Find It Again
C. A Perfect Couple D. A Hard Time

Do you think that puppet shows(木偶戏) are just for children? In some parts of the world, like Indonesia, a puppet show is an activity enjoyed by people of all ages.
At most puppet shows, the audience sits on one side of the screen and the puppeteer(操纵木偶的人) sits on the other. However, at an Indonesian front shadow puppet show, the audience can choose which side to sit on. From out front, audience members see shadows of puppets acting out exciting scenes of romance or battle. These people enjoy the fantasy that “real” events are taking place.
Behind the scenes, it can be fascinating to see a dalang, or puppeteer, in action. The dalang manipulates puppets made of buffalo hide by moving attached rods(棒) of buffalo horn or bamboo. Each of a puppet’s arms and the main part of its body have their own rods, but its legs are rarely moved on their own.
Each puppet has its own voice and its own way of moving. The “good” puppets usually speak calmly and move gracefully; the “bad” ones have rough voices and move in a funny way. The stories acted out by the puppets are often based on ancient myths or legends. A specially written puppet show might also celebrate a birth, wedding, or harvest. Sometimes a dalang chooses an old story that he thinks is appropriate for the village where the performance will take place. Before the show, he may ask local people about current events in the village and then use the puppet show to illustrate possible solutions to local problems.
The audience of a shadow puppet show expects to settle in for a long evening. A show may start in the later afternoon and not end until four o’clock the next morning! Children and adults alike may fall asleep in the middle of a show and wake up hours later to find it still going on. Of course, the dalang must remain alert(警觉的) throughout the show. One dalang remarked, “I have no real sense of time until it’s all over.”
24.How is an Indonesian puppet show different from most other puppet shows?
A. A dalang may take a rest during a show
B. People can leave in the middle of a show
C. It is an activity enjoyed by people of all ages
D. The audience can choose to sit on either side of the screen
25.The underlined word “manipulates” in Paragraph 3 means “     ”.
A. builds B. chooses C. controls D. watches
26.What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?
A. The “good” puppets move in a funny way
B. A dalang offers solutions to local problems before the show
C. The audience determines the puppets’ voice and way of moving
D. The dalang attempts to personalize the puppet show for the audience
C
A new study, a project of the researchers from the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, finds that fitness tracker(追踪器) probably does not help with weight loss.
The devices are designed to record your physical activity. They are usually worn around the wrist, where they measure a person’s heart rate. The research team looked at two groups of individuals. The first wore a fitness tracker and took part in health counseling(咨询) with experts to consider the best weight-loss plan. The researchers compared this group with people who only got health counseling.
The study found that those only speaking with the health experts lost nearly 6 kilograms, but those using a fitness tracker lost only 3.5 kilograms. John Jakicic, the lead researcher, questioned the use of electronic devices for weight control in place of “effective behavioral counseling for physical activity and diet.”
The study involved 470 subjects aged between 18 and 35. Some of them were overweight, while others were considered obese(肥胖的). Over three fourths of the subjects were women. All the subjects were told to increase physical activity and start on a low-calorie diet. They had their weight measured once every six months. After six months, researchers divided the group into two parts: one continued with monthly counseling, while members of the other group were given a fitness tracker. Eighteen months later, both groups “showed significant improvements in fitness, physical activity, and diet,” with no major difference between groups. However, when it came to losing weight, the people who only spoke with experts lost nearly twice as much weight.
Jakicic said, “the study’s findings are important because effective long-term treatments are needed to address America’s obesity.” More information is needed, he added, to learn how to best use these devices to change “physical activity and diet behaviors” in adults who want to lose weight.
27. All the subjects in the study were asked to     .
A. start on a high-calorie diet B. wear a fitness tracker
C. increase physical activities D. record their heart rates
28. Why does Jakicic think the findings are important?
A. Wearing fitness trackers hardly helps people lose weight
B. Physical activity and diet have no effect on weight loss
C. Handling obesity requires effective long-term treatments
D. There are great differences in fitness between both groups
29. What can we infer about the study mentioned in the text?
A. The study went on for about two years
B. More than 120 men took part in the study
C. Health counseling helps lose almost 6 kilograms
D. Wearing a fitness tracker is useful for keeping slim
30. The purpose of the text is to     .
A. describe how the researchers were conducting the study
B. indicate regular counseling for weight control is necessary
C. convince readers to wear fitness trackers for weight control
D. warn women are more likely to suffer from weight problems

People have been making and flying kites for about 2,000 years.  31  Some historians believe that the ancient Chinese may have started kite flying. It is still a popular hobby in Pakistan, China, Japan and Korea and in other countries of the Far East where beautifully decorated kites appear in different colors.
32  Simple kites are made by crossing two sticks and covering them with paper or cloth. Then you attach a string at the end. More expensive kites have frames made of fiberglass, plastic or aluminium. The name comes from a graceful bird called Kite.
33  A flat kite is the oldest and simplest type of kite. It flies because air flows over and under the kite's wing. The pressure under the wing helps the kite lift into the air.
34  Early scientists sent kites up into the air to measure temperature at different heights. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin used a kite to prove that lightning was a form of electricity. He attached a metal key to the string of a kite. When lightning hit the kite, electricity passed down the string and Franklin got an electric shock. It was a dangerous experiment that you shouldn’t copy.
Kites were also used to develop airplanes. The Wright Brothers experimented with kites before they flew the first airplane.  35  In World War I the Germans developed a large kite that could transport people to a submarine. Kites were also used to carry radio signals over long distances.
Today most people fly kites as a hobby. Kite festivals are organized in many cities in all parts of the world.
A. Kites are made in many different sizes, co1ors and shapes
B. No one knows for sure who invented the kite
C. In the past kites were used to take pictures in wars
D. Kite flying is great fun and it’s easy if you know some secrets
E. In Japan, families fly fish kites on Children’s Day
F. Stories of kites were brought to Europe till the end of the 13th century
G. Kites have also been used in experiments

I’ve learned that my  53  is a part of me no matter where I live. An ocean cannot separate me from the  54  I have to my other family members. The trip has given me an opportunity to stay with my family. I have seen the  55  of spending time with my grandpa.

第二节 概要写作（满分25分）
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
The World Health Organization, or WHO, estimates that more than 300,000 women die every year during pregnancy or childbirth. Each year, about 2.6 million babies are born dead and another 2.7 million babies die during the first 28 days of life, it said. Most of the deaths are taking place in South Asia and in Africa, south of the Sahara Desert.
Many of the deaths could have been avoided with quality health care, WHO officials said. Some stillbirths(births of dead babies), infant(new-born baby) deaths or deaths of mothers result from complications(并发症) during childbirth. Others may result from health problems with the mother. A poor diet or using drugs may also be to blame, the WHO added.
Another problem is that nearly all babies who are stillborn and half of all newborn deaths are never documented. Those deaths are not reported to or investigated by government health agencies. Traditions and beliefs often affect the collection of important records about infant deaths. In many countries, there is a belief that a stillbirth may not represent a lost life. Officials said this means the actual number of stillborn and newborn deaths is probably even higher than the WHO’s own current estimates. The United Nations agency says the lack of information makes it harder to find solutions. It is important for all births and deaths to be recorded so that health officials can make better decisions on how to prevent future deaths.
The WHO released three reports earlier this month to help health agencies do a better job collecting information.

One possible version:
The WHO says that a large number of babies die at birth or soon after birth and women die of childbirth every year in less developed areas.(要点1) Many deaths are caused by poor health care, a poor diet or the use of drugs.(要点2) Meanwhile, due to the traditions and beliefs, nearly all infant deaths are seldom recorded, making it harder to find solutions to prevent future deaths.(要点3) So now the Who is helping to obtain more exact information about baby deaths.(要点4)
