第二部分 阅读理解（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项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Picture this: Two very fat men enter an ice cream shop. They sit down and order two big ice creams. After enjoying their rich desserts, they go to a health club and have a good workout. They’re trying to use up all those calories(卡路里) they ate. Who would be so silly? Americans would. When it comes to health and fitness, they have mixed feelings. On the one hand, they are concerned about their health. On the other, they have some very unhealthy eating habits.

2

Americans know the benefits of having a healthy diet. In school, children learn about many kinds of healthy foods. People grow up knowing the value of counting(计算) calories. They hear about the dangers of junk food. They realize they shouldn’t eat too many sweets or fats. When they go shopping, many Americans read the products’ information for nutrition(营养) carefully so that they can choose healthy foods for their families.

Keeping fit--or maybe getting in shape--is often high on the list of New Year’s plans for Americans. In the past decade, fitness has become a fashion. Many Americans have joined health clubs to work out with all kinds of equipment. Sports stores sell sports shoes and clothing for every possible exercise situation. People can even buy weights and equipment and set up their own exercise center at home!

There are many other reasons for Americans to enjoy good health. Medical care in the United States, while expensive, is among the best in the world. The U.S. government requires strict food checks to make sure that food is healthy enough. Magazines, newspapers, TV programs and even the Internet provide plenty of information on how to improve their health. Americans know all about these. They just need to do it.

34. The underlined word “workout” in paragraph 1 is closet in meaning to ______. A. research B. exercise C. experiment D. arrangement 35. What does the author think of the two men in the first paragraph? A. They are so fat that they can’t live a healthy life. B. They are foolish Americans who never do sports.

C. They have wrong eating habits if they want to keep fit. D. They are careful about their food and are in good fitness. 36. From the second paragraph we know ______. A. Americans learn a lot about healthy eating B. foods of the best quality are sold in America C. American foods are too high in calories

D. many Americans know little about the danger of junk food 37. What will Americans NOT do in order to keep fit? A. Joining a health club. B. Buying sports shoes and clothing. C. Trying to be professional sportsmen. D. Setting up exercise center at home. 38. By saying “They just need to do it” in the last paragraph, the author wants to say that ______.

A. medical care in the U.S. should be a lot cheaper B. the American government should work harder

C. Americans should learn more about how to keep fit

D. to keep fit, Americans should put what they learn in practice B

I know that there are times when friends are apart for a while – or even forever – and that your lives take different paths. Yet, I always hope for a happy ending. I know that friends reconnect again when it makes sense.

My friend Julie and I had a long period in our friendship. We used to see each other daily. I would eat brown rice in her kitchen while we shared our secrets.

Later, we celebrated each other’s weddings. My husband and I welcomed Julie’s first son (born on my birthday). By the time he was learning to walk, Julie and her family had moved to another city. We spoke on the phone sometimes and exchanged Christmas cards.

3

After they welcomed their third son, they moved to Edmonton, which is a farther city. We haven’t seen each other since then. They changed their phone numbers. I received a letter from her, but I couldn’t find that envelope later. I e-mailed her a few times, but didn’t get a reply.

It was painful not to be in touch with an old friend. I let it go. I knew that Julie and I would reconnect again, when it made sense.

Last year, Julie’s husband got in touch with me on Facebook. I felt something bad, and soon my feeling proved true: Julie had passed away the month before. She died of cancer.

I regretted that I had not been part of Julie’s support system, or the last years of her joyous, painful time on Earth. I cried. I’m so sorry, Julie, for counting on more chances.

Last week, I donated my hair in memory of Julie to make wigs (假发) for cancer patients. It was a small way of showing that I loved her and will never forget her. And that I look forward to us reconnecting again – when it makes sense.

39. When apart from her friends, the writer hopes ______. A. they will be on the same path B. they can still be together some day C. their friendship will end soon D. they’ll make other better friends 40. ______ puts the following events in the correct time order. a. Julie’s family moved to Edmonton.

b. Julie’s husband found the writer on Facebook. c. Julie had her first son. d. Julie died of cancer.

e. Julie wrote the author a letter. A. c-e-a-b-d B. c-a-e-d-b C. a-c-e-b-d D. a-e-c-d-b

41. How did the author feel about being out of touch with Julie? A. It was painful, but she believed they’d meet again. B. It was nothing serious at all, so she just let it go. C. She was very sad but thought it made sense. D. She felt so sorry that she burst into tears. 42. The author donated her hair in order to ______. A. make wigs for her friend B. forget the painful past C. reconnect with her friend D. keep her friend deep in mind 43. The author wrote the article to ______.

A. encourage those who suffer cancer to live bravely B. recall the good time shared with a good friend C. express her regret of losing a good friend

D. call for more care about those who suffer cancer 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
