第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）
第一节（共10个小题，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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The reason why some people are willing to pay big money for the chance to get in touch with their inner child in a proper environment is that they think it is good to do so from time to time . A Brooklyn-based adult preschool is charging customers between $333 and $999 for the chance to act like a kid again．
At Preschool Mastermind in New York adults get to participate in show—and—tell，arts—and—crafts such as finger paint，games like musical chairs and even take naps．The month-long course also has class picture day where the adults are expected to have a field trip and a parent day．
30-year-old Michelle Joni Lapidos，the brain behind the adult preschool，studied childhood education and has always wanted to be a preschool teacher．She’s always looking for new ways to get people in touch with the freedom of childhood．A friend encouraged her to start the mastermind course instead．
According to Candice, her best friend，Preschool Mastermind gives adults a chance to relearn and master the things that they failed to understand as children. “I realized all the importance of what we learn in preschool，”said the founder Michelle Joni，“People come here and get in touch with their inner child．It’s magical．We are bringing ourselves back to another place，another time with ourselves when we are more believing in ourselves，more confident and ready to take on the world．”
“One person’s here because they want to learn not to be so serious．”Michelle said．“Another's here to learn to be more confident．”She explained that most of the classes were planned．However，Joni added that while the planned activities were fun，it was often the spontaneous(自发的)moments that attracted students．“It’s the things you don’t plan for，the sharing between friends and learning from each other．’’ 26.What is the purpose of Preschool Mastermind?
A. To provide practical training courses for teachers． B．To help parents understand their children better． C．To give adults a chance to return to childhood． D．To introduce some ways of playing with children．
27.According to Candice，people come to this program to________?
A．enjoy freedom of thinking B．understand childhood puzzles C．discover their inner abilities D．realize their childhood dreams

28.What do we know about Michelle Joni?
A．She founded Preschool Mastermind． B．She likes to make plans in advance． C．She used to be a preschool teacher． D．She gained confidence by sharing． B Laughter serves as the glue（胶水） for social situations and as an ice-breaker for sadness and boredom. It is good for the soul, builds friendships and reduces stress. Therefore developing a sense of humor is part of becoming a mature, emotionally healthy person. If you’ve ever been told to “lighten up” or “chill out”, you should save the blue attitude for serious situations and develop your sense of humor.
Forgive accidents. A sudden fall is humorous not because we like to see people fall, but because it surprises. From a spilled（溢出）water glass in a meeting to Aunt Rae’s teeth coming off in the Thanksgiving turkey, the embarrassment of accidents can be reduced by humor and a helping hand. After making sure that nobody’s hurt, forgive accidents with a smile rather than a scolding.
Look for the unexpected. The kid who used to look at you with his eyes closed during a test had the idea. Parents who serve green eggs and ham to their children on graduation day get the idea. Unexpected actions lighten an atmosphere and relax people.
Learn to laugh with your kids. Most of what children say and do is funny. Help them learn that accidents are sometimes funny and sometimes occasions for joining in and helping another human being. By sharing laughs and attempting to explain humor, you develop your sense of humor, as well as help kids develop their own sense of humor. 29.If you’ve ever been told to “lighten up” or “chill out”, it means ______. A. you are humorous B. you are blue
C. you are funny D. you lack humor
30.According to Paragraph 2, when your friend falls, you can ______. A. laugh at him B. smile
C. scold him D. feel embarrassed 31.What is the best title for the passage? A. The Function of Humor
B. Ways to Become a Healthy Person C. How to Develop a Sense of Humor D. Proper Attitudes Toward Humor
C
My daughter Alisa was born blind in her right eye and was bullied (欺侮) pretty severely in school. So I gave up my job as a babysitter and then schooled my daughter heart and soul at home.
A year ago a boy of 14 befriended my daughter on Facebook after reading something Alisa wrote about bullying. Today he messaged her and asked if she would like six tickets to a Colorado Rockies baseball game. They have never met in person but she said, “Sure! That would be great.”

Then I received a call from his mother explaining why her son had chosen my daughter. She said he thought my daughter deserved(应得) them because of all the good she does in the community. Her son, she explained, had experienced a similar situation and was also home schooled.
What she said is true. Now my daughter Alisa continues to teach groups of girls in trouble in our community how to look within themselves for the positive and how to be their own person.
Everything taken into consideration, we decided to meet the mother and the boy at a local bike shop. After meeting, the boy approached my car and my daughter gave him a hug and thanked him for his generosity. She told him that she had never been to a baseball game and that she was going to take her entire family, including myself, her dad, little sister, her cousin and an aunt who has brain cancer.
We all thanked one another, got in our car, and went our way. As we drove home my daughter opened the envelope. Inside it were the tickets and ＄100 each to buy hot dogs, pay for parking and not have any worries but a great time.
My daughter has always been the giver and now she and our family are the receivers and I can not tell you how honored we feel to be on the other end. What an incredible young man to have such a kind idea.

B．They met when buying tickets to a baseball game. C．They became familiar when talking face to face. D．They went to the same school and met each other. 34. Why did the boy want to offer free tickets to Alisa? A．Because Alisa is a disabled girl.
B．Because Alisa often helps those in trouble. C．Because he has a lot money to share.
D．Because he has a similar situation with Alisa. 35. Which of the following best describes the passage? A．Two heads are better than one. B．A friend in need is a friend indeed. C．Good is rewarded with good.
