第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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
Shortly after the war，my brother and I were invited to spend a few days with an uncle who had just returned from abroad. He had rented a cottage in the country，although he rarely spent much time there. We understood the reason for this after our arrival: the cottage had no comfortable furniture in it，many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked，making the whole house damp.
On our first evening，we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories which our uncle had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed; but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle's exciting tales.
He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above，the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.
“It sounds as if the roof has fallen in！” Cried out my uncle，with a loud laugh.
When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door，we could see nothing at first because of the thick clouds of dust which filled the room. When the dust began to clear，a strange sight met our eyes. A large part of the ceiling had fallen down，falling right on to the pillow of my bed. I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle's stories，otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured，perhaps killed.
That night we all slept on the floor in the sitting room downstairs，not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping
under a roof which might at any moment fall down on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country. This was not the kind of adventure he cared for either! 21. Why did the uncle seldom spend much time in the country cottage?
A．Because the roof of the cottage was falling. B．Because the cottage was in bad condition. C．Because he was used to living abroad. D．Because there was no furniture in it.
22. When they opened the bedroom door，they could see nothing at first because ________.
A．it was completely dark inside C．something strange blinded them
B．there was too much dust in the air D．it was too bright inside
23. The writer felt glad that he had stayed up late because ________.
A．he did not miss the exciting stories C．he had a lucky escape
B．he spent more time with his uncle D．he saw a strange sight
24. Which of the following can best describe the writer's uncle?
A．Adventurous and good at storytelling. C．Dependable and generous with money.
B
Many young people these days adore the advertised magazine body and become too focused on attaining this image instead of worrying more about what lasts and even grows over time. But could you imagine being considered beautiful for years, and suddenly being ugly after moving to another continent? It is a sad reality that people don't realize how vacillating the idea of beauty can be from one country to another. Think of the most typical American girl you know. Is she blonde-haired with white skin and light blue eyes, and does she love shopping or sports? Now place this girl in the heart of Africa, where beauty is placed on what you can control. The Maasai tribe in Kenya focuses on how clean people are, and how stylish their piercings(穿孔) are. This tribe's culture is to be a brave fighter, so they will cut their skin with patterns in it to show that they are strong. If you don't look fierce, you are not beautiful.
Other countries like North Korea and South Korea have their own unique views on beauty. In an interview, a woman who has lived in both North Korea and South Korea claims that beauty in North Korea is based more on your ability to be a good woman and wife. She says that women in North Korea are less concerned about fashion and beauty in the physical sense. She says they did have a time when big eyes were a big deal and everyone wanted to get double eyelid surgery. This is something extreme and could perhaps be influenced by Western culture. But don't you think the idea of getting surgery done to look more attractive is crazy? 25. What does the underlined word “vacillating” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．Inconsistent. B．Reasonable. C．Unusual. D．Similar.
B．Humorous and good at making jokes. D．Considerate and sensitive to danger.
26. The Maasai tribe in Kenya is mentioned to show that in their eyes ________.
A．getting dirty is stylish C．strong people cut their skin
B．looking fierce is beautiful D．American girls love shopping
27. According to the woman interviewed，women in North Korea now ________.
A．care a lot about their appearance C．pay great attention to their ability 28. What does the text mainly tell us?
A．Inner beauty is of great importance. B．Ideas of beauty vary among culture groups. C．Different ways are needed to admire true beauty. D．Fashion magazines easily influence young people.
C
We all have one shirt in the closet that we don't want to get rid of，yet keep around because we can't bear to just throw it in the garbage. We don't wear it anymore. Being a little out of style，your old T-shirt needs a new home where it can be appreciated. One city in Toronto has started a project to give it one. Earlier this year，the Toronto suburb(郊区) of Markham introduced a new program encouraging its residents and residents of nearby suburbs to donate their old unwanted clothing. The program is exceptional because unlike most of those second-hand stores，they are accepting old clothing that isn't quite in perfect condition. It is breathing new life into these typically-trashed items. Contrary to common belief, textiles(纺织品) are not only used for clothing，and these items are being repurposed in a variety of interesting ways.
The city has set up many different donation centers around the suburbs，and residents are encouraged，to donate any unwanted textiles they happen to have lying around their house. It's volunteers' duty to divide the donations into different sorts. Those items in usable and good condition are donated to local homeless shelters and other aid centers. Those which are not are shipped off to be used for industrial purposes. Only when there is no more industrial need for fabric and textiles will they begin to use their last place—a landfill outside the city.
The program isn't the city's only green initiative(倡议)．It has already had one of Canada and the world's largest solar panels，and it is said that they are steadily working towards a shift to 100% renewable energy. The city also has subsidized(补助) farmers' markets and over 125 miles of bike paths. As a result，Markham also has a much lower rate of obesity than other Canadian cities. Now，it's working towards another goal—100% recycling of unwanted textiles.
29．What does the underlined word “one” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A．A shirt. B．A city. C．A home. D．A closet. 30．What do the volunteers do with the unwanted clothing?
B．put the beauty of eyes in the first place D．are crazy about double eyelid surgery
