第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节 （共15个小题，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和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

I grew up poor. We had little money, but plenty of love and attention. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could still afford a dream. My dream was athletics.

By the time I was sixteen, I was good at baseball and football. My high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis. He not only believed in me, but taught me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction(信念).

One summer a friend recommended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket--- cash for dates with girls, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother.

Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing. I was dreading(害怕) this, but my mother said, “If you make your bed, you have to lie in

it.”

When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as mad as I expected him to be. “Your playing days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them,” he said.

I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why I dreamed of buying my mom a house.

“How much are you going to make at this job, son?” he demanded. “Three twenty-five an hour,” I replied.

“Well,” he asked, “is $3.25 an hour the price of a dream?”

That question laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to sports that summer, and within the year I was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play rookie-league ball, and offered a $20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $1.7 million, and bought my mother the house of my dream.

21. The writer was grateful to Coach Jarvis, because Jarvis________. A. made him set a goal

B. supplied him with new clothes C. gave him financial support D. helped him show conviction

22. When the writer was offered a job, he wanted to ______. A. balance summer baseball and the work schedule B. refuse the job offer for summer baseball C. give up summer baseball for the job D. ask his coach Jarvis for advice

23. Which of the following can replace the underlined sentence? A. You must eat the bitter fruit of your own making. B. Believe in yourself, but above all be patient. C. You must rely on yourself first, then others. D. A good beginning makes a good ending.

24. The end of the story was that the writer ______. A. failed to buy his mother a house B. succeeded as a sportsman

C. became a successful businessman D. made some money in the summer job

B

The holiday season is known as a festive and joyful time. But for some, it’s the most painful time of year. For children who have lost a close family member, the holidays can be particularly difficult.

Unknown to many, grieving(伤心的) children are all around us. An estimated one in 20 American children will lose a parent before age 16, and the vast majority of children will experience a significant loss of some kind by the time they complete high school.

The death of a loved one often has a strong influence on a child--- one that is felt over the course of a lifetime. In a 2010 survey conducted by the New York Life Foundation and Comfort Zone Camp, more than half (57%) of adults who had lost a parent

growing up said that they would trade an entire year of their life for one more day with that parent.

The death of a loved one causes complex and difficult emotions in children, including sadness, anger, loneliness, confusion and guilt. Such emotions can lead to depression, poor school performance and increased involvement in risky behavior.

Grieving children desperately need support from trusted adults to help them deal with death. But unfortunately, too many grieving children suffer all by themselves. Most adults who work with children--- including educators, school professionals and many in the social service profession--- have little or no training in how to help kids process their grief.

Even as we continue to broaden our bereavement(丧亲) support, progress in the field can’t come fast enough. The reality remains that many grieving children across the country are not seen or heard as they are in the face of damaging losses. We have an opportunity and a duty to make sure that grieving families receive adequate help and care.

In order to truly give grieving kids the attention and support they deserve, we all must acknowledge that, too often, grief is still an issue that hides in plain sight, and do our part to bring it further out into the open.

25. According to the second paragraph, the problem of grieving children_____. A. has a long history B. deserves great attention

C. is familiar to most people D. is threatening the majority of children 26. Why does the author mention the 2010 survey?

A. To show the great influence of losing a parent. B. To present the major problem adults are facing. C. To prove that children have emotional problems. D. To explain where children’s problems come from.

27. What does the author advise us to do to help grieving children? A. Protect them from risky behavior.

B. Give them more time to forget the sadness.

C. Tell them that it’s no use being so sad for the loss. D. Teach educators how to give bereavement support.

28. What is the best title for the text? A. Dealing With the Death of a Loved One B. Opening up to Grieving Children C. Supporting Grieving Children D. Dealing With Grief

C

In the country where I was born, eleven official languages are spoken. I’m not kidding! I can speak two fluently. One of these languages, Zulu, has a splendid greeting, “Sawubona”, which means “I see you” literally.

Isn’t this just an impressive way of recognition? Not just the stereotyped (模式化的) forms of greetings like “How are you?” “Hey” or “Good day”, but actually a powerful acknowledgement hidden in one word. And the Zulu response in this regard
