第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分）Nothing is more refreshing on a warm summer day than watching someone else work.
Right now, I’m sitting on my porch and watching young Beth baling (打捆) the big field on top of the hill. She’s been haying that field for over ten years. I know: I put her on the tractor when she was just twelve years old.
She picked a great day for baling. It’s not too hot, and there’s a nice breeze. On Monday, when she cut the field, it was so hot I thought the com would start popping in the field. Didn’t stop her, though. She just stuck that big hat on her head, wrapped a wet handkerchief around her neck, and set to work, I remember when I would have done the same thing.
While Pm here sucking a lemonade, Beth is driving the “hay (干草) train,” a tractor pulling a baler and an old wagon. You’d think someone her size would never be able to see over the tractor. But somehow she manages. When she’s finished, her tracks are very straight.
The whole time she’s haying, that dog of hers is working just as hard, running along beside her like he’s afraid she’ll drive away without him. Beth sure knew what she was doing when she trained him.
The way the machine works is pure poetry. Each row is pushed into shape. When just enough hay is in a bale, it is wrapped up and fastened together. A second or so later, the bale comes flying out and into the old wagon. The person who invented that machine sure was some kind of genius.
That’s not to say it works perfectly. Every once in a while a bale misses the mark, especially when you are turning the machine at the end of a row. That means, of course, that you have to go back and pick up those bales and throw them into the wagon.
I can remember when Beth’s mother was her age. She looked an awful lot like Beth does now. Makes a man proud to see his daughter and granddaughter taking such good care of themselves.
Well, I suppose I should get up and fill this glass again. Not much fun sitting here with an empty glass. 1、We can learn from the passage that at some time in the past the author . A．bought the tractor for Beth B．forced Beth to work at an early age C．worked in the field like Beth D．trained the dog to help Beth work 2、In the eyes of the author, the sight of Beth baling hay is . A．uncommon B．beautiful C．unforgettable D．changeable
3、Before thrown into the wagon, the hay must be .
A．tied up B．dried up C．cut up D．lined up
4、Who do you think is telling this story? A．Beth’s mother. B．Beth’s father.
C．Beth’s grandmother. D．Beth’s grandfather.
22．（8分）Toronto ZOO
You may think you need to look far and wide for the best zoos in the world but there’s an impressive zoo right here in Canada. The Toronto Zoo is home to over 16,000 animals. The zoo also has an amazing Discovery Zone for children to learn more about the animals and their natural habits. Another thing that makes this zoo worthy of a visit? Its conservation policy. The Toronto Zoo has helped in the effort to conserve endangered animals from all around the world, and is presently one of the very few animal-friendly zoos in North America.
Basel Zoological Garden
Basel Zoo, which lies in Basel, Switzerland is a non-profit 200 that first opened up in 1874 making it one of the word’s oldest. Rated as one of the top 200 in the wold by Forbes Traveler in 2008. Basel Zoo is an awe-inspiring sight to see. There are presently over 6, 000 unique animals housed there. Basel Zoo has also bred(繁殖)several endangered animals, making it one of the most animal-friendly zoos, too,
National Zoological Gardens of South Africa
As the largest 200 in South Africa, there isn’t much you won ‘t see at this amazing habitat for animals. While many of the animals have been bred and raised in the zoo, there is enough room in this vast park for the animals to run freely. Here you’ll find African animals and the third latest collection of fantastic trees in South Africa. If you’re looking for an adventure—packed day, with its magnificent animals in a cruelty—free environment, a trip to pretoria, it may be your best bet. 1、How many aspect make Toronto Zoo special?

23．（8分）Stained glass (彩色玻璃) artists create different designs by making cuts on the glass to “score” it and then breaking off the pattern that they want to use in the finished product. The most difficult cut in stained glass is called an inside cut. Basically, it’s a curved (弯曲的) line where you throw away the part inside of the curve. The problem with inside cuts is that the edges of the curve tend to break off when the pieces of scored glass are broken apart.
As the artist talked about inside cuts, he said, “The glass will break into pieces if you try to cut too much off at once. The best way to do an inside cut is to slice off smaller curves piece-by-piece. In fact, it’s not just the best way to do it, but it’s the only way to do it.”
How many times do you try to make a big change and cut the entire piece at once? We convince ourselves that we can do this all the time. We’ll commit to transforming our diet overnight or we get inspired to launch a business in a weekend or we finally get motivated to work out and push ourselves to the edge of burning out.
Why not approach your goals and dreams like a stained glass artist? Starting by slicing a shallow curve and breaking a small piece off, you cut a slightly deeper curve and break that off until you have your full inside cut. By slowly cutting deeper and deeper curves, you prevent the glass from breaking as it changes shape.
Of course, change isn’t easy — no matter how you do it. Slow gains are boring, but if we keep making small improvements, then pretty soon we will end up with a beautiful masterpiece on our hands instead of a bunch of broken pieces.
1、Why is an inside cut believed to be most difficult? A．It needs a one-and-only design. B．It calls for nothing but inspiration. C．The edges of the curve break easily. D．The glass inside the curve is easily broken.
2、What mistakes are easily made according to paragraph 3? A．Being too eager to make improvements. B．Being too worried about the final outcome. C．Trying to make a complete change all at once.
