三、阅读理解（本题共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

Anna was excited about starting her first day in the new school. However, when she first walked past the students in the school, her excitement turned to fear, and then to loneliness over the next few days. “Why didn?t anyone say ?hi? to me or invite me to his or her lunch table? Is it because of my clothes or my hair?” she wondered. Almost every day during the first week, Anna stayed alone, thinking that there must have been something wrong with her or that nobody saw her at all!

What caused Anna?s problem? The reason was that nobody knew her. Most people don?t like talking with strangers. So it?s your job to volunteer to make contact with people who you want to know. The easiest way to catch their attention is to notice them first. Make eye contact with them and smile at them. When you smile at them, you are doing your best to show your kindness to them, and they are sure to understand that you are saying, “Hey, how?s everything going?” In this way, you are taking the first step towards the road to friendship.

When Anna realized this, she started talking to her classmates. Guess what happened? It really worked. She had made two friends by the end of the month.

In fact, saying “hi” or making friends with strangers is not hard. And the joy it brings you is really great. So try to open your heart to strangers!

31. What was Anna?s problem?

A. She was afraid of entering a new school. B. She had no friends in her new school.

C. She didn't like making friends with strangers. D. Her classmates didn't like her clothes or hair.

According to the writer, what is the easiest way to catch others? attention? A. Noticing them first B. Talking to them C. Doing something for them. D. Making yourself cool. 34.

C The webs that spiders (蜘蛛) build to catch insects seem weak. However, the strength of spider thread is greater than steel. Webs can even stand up to very strong storms.

In each spider web, some threads are sticky (粘的), but some are not. When a spider is moving on the web, it will not step on the sticky threads. After a time the silk will lose its stickiness and become unable to catch insects. Then, spiders usually eat their own web.

Now a team of scientists has worked out why the spider web is so strong. It is not just the strength of the thread, but the clever design of the web. The key to a web?s success is its ability to keep its shape and strength even after some of the threads break, say scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The scientists found the thread itself has the ability to
