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,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
I was born in New York City and lived there until I was five. After my brother was born, my parents wanted us to grow up knowing our culture, so we moved back to India. But every summer, we return to New York to visit friends, so I feel that I have two homes instead of one.
A lot of my American friends think of teens(少年) in India only as hardworking, book-smart students---and to some degree that’s a true. One
reason is that, unlike in the US. Whether an Indian teen can go to college is decided by his scores only.
There are, however, lots of similarities between Indian and American teens. We wear jeans, eat out, and watch movies. The differences are surprisingly few.
Sometimes I find myself thinking, what it would be like if my friends of both countries could meet. I don’t think they would have any trouble asking themselves the same questions: Who am I? What kind of person do I want to be? And what can I give back to the world?
The answers I’ve heard are similar everywhere. Everyone believes we should do something to improve our world. Everyone believes our generation cannot be influenced easily by the prejudices(偏见) of past generations; not only do we tolerate differences among us, we also appreciate them.
Besides, all of us have already got some ideas about religious argument, global warming---things that have matured(使成熟)us faster than our parents and grandparents And because of this, everyone feels that no matter how old we are or where we are or where we come from, we each should try to unite through differences that drove us apart in the past. That’s what I’ve learned on both sides of the world.
21. By writing Paragraphs 2and 3, the author wants to . A. change American teens’ views about Indian teens B. encourage Indian teens to learn from American teens C. show American teens and Indian teens are very similar D. compare the education systems of America and India

On Sunday morning, after listening to a sermon (布道) about making \World of Difference\When we pulled in to the parking lot we noticed a young girl sitting on the road. She was outside in January, in the Midwest, with only a sweatshirt. No coat or gloves. She didn’t look very happy.
I approached her and asked if she was okay. She said yes and told me that she had run out of gas down the road, walked to the gas station, and was now waiting for someone to bring her a gas can and a little money so she could get her car running again. By the look on her face I thought she had been waiting for a while.
I, hesitantly, asked if we could give her a lift somewhere. I was fearful that she might be worried about our intentions. She graciously (有礼貌地) refused and said she would simply wait.
I went inside the gas station to pick up the items we had come for, but I couldn’t stop thinking about the young girl sitting out in the cold and wished I could do something to help her.
So I bought a gift certificate for her. With it she could either buy the gasoline she said she needed or she could at least go inside and purchase a drink and some food to keep her warm while she waited for someone to come to get her.
She was so surprised when I handed her the gift certificate!
Walking away I got the feeling that help didn’t come her way very often. She was very thankful for the gift certificate — but I thought it did just as much to lift my spirits as it did hers! 24. Where did the author go on Sunday morning?
A. The church. B. The shop. C. The hospital. D. The nursing home.
25. Why did the young girl wait on the road?
A. Because her gas had given out and she waited someone to help her. B. Because she waited for her friends. C. Because she wanted to buy some food. D. Because she wanted to borrow some money. 26. How did the author help her?
A. The author helped her to borrow the gas.
B. The author bought her a gift certificate that she needed. C. The author bought her some food and drinks. D. The author bought her a coat.
