第二部分 阅读理解（每题2分; 满分40分） 第一节（共15题, 每题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列四篇短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。
A
I wished I had known earlier the fact that I was a low achiever because there was a reason beyond my control. Then I needn’t have worked so hard in my late twenties and early thirties. But I just didn’t know that. I was writing and writing. I was working for no other reason than to hear people praise me.
Most people who go through university read at least twice as fast as I do. I can
都哦哦哦来了看看never tell my left from my right. I avoid dialing a telephone if I can help it, because I sometimes have to try three times before getting the number right. I hear that recording “The number you have reached is not in service” more than any man on earth.
Despite my weaknesses I view my dyslexia (difficulty in reading) as a gift, not a curse(诅咒). Many dyslexics are good at right brain, namely abstract thought, and that is what my key of creative writing is. I’m starting with nothing and coming up with something that didn’t exist before. That’s my strong point. I owe my career to Ralph Salisbury, my writing instructor at the University of Oregon, who looked past my misspellings and gave me encouragement and hope. I just carried on and never looked back. I’m also very “visual”. This means nothing in school, but when I write books or scripts, I’m seeing everything in my imagination. I write quickly. I go like the wind and can get up to 15 pages a day. Writing is not the problem. I have no problem downloading; it is inputting where things get messed up.
The real fear I have for dyslexics is not that they have to struggle with messy input, but that they will quit on themselves before they finish school. Parents have to create victories whenever they can, whether it is music, sports or the arts. You want your dyslexic child to be able to say, “Yeah, reading is hard. But I have these other things I can do.”
36. From Paragraph 3 we can know that ______
A. The author was grateful to his writing instructor B. The author often complained about his dyslexia
C. The author had trouble with both inputting and outputting. D. Having problem in inputting, the author wrote slowly. 37. For dyslexics, the author thinks that_________. A. they should work as hard as himself B. they had better choose to drop out of school C. they should be constantly encouraged D. they should put their hearts into reading
38. Which of the following proverbs can best summarize the main idea of the passage? A. He who laughs last laughs best.
B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. Reading enriches the mind.
D. When God closes a door, somewhere he opens a window. 39. What kind of man is the writer?
A. Open-minded and optimistic B. diligent and generous C. clever but selfish D. kind but useless
B
Preventing obesity and smoking can save lives, but it doesn’t save money, reported researchers. “It was a small surprise, for it is against the common belief,” said Pieter Van Baal, who led the study. “But it makes sense. If you live longer, then you cost the health system more.”
The researchers found that from age 20 to 56, obese people racked up (累计) the most expensive health costs. But on average, healthy people lived 84 years. Smokers lived about 77 years, and obese people lived about 80 years. Smokers and obese people tended to have more heart disease than healthy people. Therefore in the long run, the thin and healthy group cost about $417, 000, from age 20 on. Smokers cost about
都哦哦哦来了看看$326, 000 and obese people $371, 000.
“The result throws a bucket of cold water onto the idea, based on guesswork, that obesity is going to cost trillions of dollars,” said Patrick Basham, a professor of health politics. “If we’re going to worry about the future of obesity, we should stop worrying about its financial impact,” he said.
“The benefits of obesity prevention may not be seen immediately in terms of cost saving in tomorrow’s budget, but there are long-term gains,” said Van Baal. “These are often immeasurable when it comes to people living longer and healthier lives.” In the meanwhile, he said that governments should recognize that successful smoking and obesity prevention programs mean that people will have a longer chance of dying of something more expensive later in life.
“Lung cancer is a cheap disease to treat because people don’t survive very long. But if they are old enough to get Alzheimer’s (早老性痴呆症) one day, they may survive longer and cost more. We are not advising that governments stop trying to prevent obesity,” Van Baal said. “But they should do it for the right reasons.” 40. Among middle-aged people, who may cost the health system most? A. Those who are heavy smokers. B. Those who are overweight.
C. Those who are too thin. D. Those who are suffering from heart attacks. 41. What can we know about the belief that obesity costs much?
A. It turns out to be incorrect. B. It comes from scientific study. C. It is based on medical evidence. D. It has changed over the past years. 42. According to the text, governments prevent obesity for the purpose of _______. A. reducing the risks of suffering cancer B. weakening obesity’s financial impact
C. making sure of people’s long and healthy life D. reducing the money spent on medical programs
C
Britain's most popular lie has been disclosed, with one in four people admitting using “sorry I had no signal\found.
Researchers found the average Briton tells on average four lies every day or almost 1500 every year. Almost one in six men admitted they were most likely to lie to their wife or girlfriend, on average at least twice a day. The most popular lie was saying you had no mobile phone signal, with one in four people admitting regularly using the little white lie. It usually came after they hit the “ignore\mobile rang.
Three quarters of people think women are better liars. The research found 46 per cent of girls have been caught lying, compared to 58 of men.
The second most common fib（无关紧要的谎言） is “I haven't got any cash on me” when asked for money by tramps (流浪者), beggars and Big Issue sellers. “Nothing's wrong – I'm fine” came third followed by “You look lovely” and “Nice to see you”.
Modern technology turned out to have contributed to many lies with “I didn't get your text” in 18th, “Our server was down” in 20th and “My battery died” in 26th place. Other lies to make the top ten included “I'll give you a ring”, “We're just good friends” and “We'll have to meet up soon”. “I'm on my way” and “No, your bum doesn't look big in that” completed the top ten.
