第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，共50分）
第一节：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
Bali is an Indonesia island that is rich in indigenous （本土的）
culture．A lot of people say that Balinese culture is unique and
that the people of Bali have always been contented with the
&now&．If you ask a Balinese
person what heaven is like, the probable answer will be
&just like Bali&．This only goes
to show that most Balinese people are happy to be where they are
and never worry．
One factor that contributes to this laidback lifestyle is the
culture of close family ties in Bali．In the Balinese culture,
support is always available．Balinese extended families are so
tightly knit that all members usually reside in the same
Balinese culture is based on a form of this religion, which is
called &Hindu Darma&．This
religion reached the island during the eleventh century．Most of the
family customs and
traditions as well as community lifestyles of the Balinese
people are influenced by this．The religious influence even expands
widely into the arts, which makes Bali distinct from the rest of
Indonesia．
In spite of the fact that tourists flood to the island every
year, Balinese people have managed to conserve their culture．Almost
every native of Bali is an artist in some form or another．Parents
and villagers have passed on their skills to their children, who
all seem to have inclinations （爱好） either to music, dance,
painting, and decor．Ks5u
Another remarkable mark of the Balinese culture is the series of
ceremonies and rituals known as the Manusa Yadnya．This marks the
different stages of Balinese life．Cremation （火葬） is very popular on
this island&and unlike in the West, death is a joyous and colorful
event for the Balinese．
41．What do we know about Balinese according to the first two
paragraphs?
A．They lead a very relaxing but unwealthy life．
B．They live in large families and are close to each other．

When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say,
&Well, it's so-and-so's fault.
&or &I know I'm late, but it's
the car broke down. & It is probably
not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or
something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no
power and could do nothing that helps change the situation.
However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you
stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to
remedy the situation. This is the winner's key to
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you
were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your
car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along
with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when
in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems
on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of
dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply
blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don't
rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not
reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of
how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your
skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what
happens. Winners don't have fewer pro they
have just as many difficult situation to face as anybody else. They
are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and
opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on
&whose fault it is. & Once you
are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are
just stepping stones for success.
46. According to the passage, winners .
A. deal with problems rather than blame others B. meet with
fewer difficulties in their byes
C. have responsible and able colleagues D. blame themselves
rather than others
47. The underlined word &remedy& in Paragraph 1 is closest in
meaning to .
A. avoid B. accept C. improve D. consider
48. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should .
A. find a better way to handle the problem B. blame him for his
lack of responsibility
C. tell him to find the cause of the problem D. ask a more able
colleague for help
49. When problems occur, winners take them as .
A. excuses for their failures B. barriers to greater power
C. challenges to their colleagues D. chances for
self-development
50. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. A Winner's Achievement. B. A Winner's Problem.
C. A Winner's Opportunity. D. A Winner's Secret.
Famous centenarians （百岁老人） still active in arts, science are in
no mood to retire．&Those who stand still,
die,& is one of Oliveira's favorite phrases．He
knows from experience what it means, as the Portuguese film
director has reached the age of 102 and is still active in his
profession．Every year, Oliveira shoots a film and is currently
working on his next project．&You have to work,
work, work in order to forget that death is not far
away,& he said．When asked about his age, Oliveira
said with some humility: &It's down to mother
nature．It gave to me what it took from
Being both mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a
matter of luck, but it also has something to do with character．Not
every white-haired person is wise and social skills, openness and
the ability to train the brain are essential for senior
citizens．
Along with the architect Oscar Niemeyer （103）, Nobel laureate
Montalcini （101） and director Kurt Maetzig （100）, Oliveira is one
of those people of whom it would be very wrong to think as members
of a listless elderly generation．
Another master in his profession is the architect Oscar
Niemeyer．The 103-year-old Brazilian is best known for his
futuristic-looking buildings in Brasilia, but he also speaks out on
behalf of the poor．&The role of the architect is
to struggle for a better world where we can develop a form of
architecture that serves everyone and not just a privileged
few,& said Niemeyer recently．He spends almost
every day working in his office in Copacabana, and even when he
falls ill he keeps working on ideas: After a gallbladder （胆囊）
operation he composed a samba tune （桑巴舞曲） in the clinic．
Another man who could sing a song about age is 107-year-old
Heesters．The Dutch-born opera singer spent most of his life
performing in Germany, where he still works．Recently Heesters said:
&I want to be at least
108-years-old．& He also plans to keep
performing．&Should I just sit at home and wait
until they come and pick me up?& Heesters has
not given up trying to add to his tally（积分） of awards and is
looking for a &good stage
role&．Ks5u
Italian scientist Rita Levi-Montalcini, who is 101-year-old and
is still active in medical science, has described the force that
keeps driving her on: &Progress is created through
imperfection．& In 1986 she and her lab colleague
were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work on nerve
growth factor．She's convinced that humans grow on challenges．
With so many brilliant examples given, we can see clearly that
age is no barrier to some high
achievers．
51．From the first two paragraphs, we can see ________．
A．being active at 102 is achievable for everybody
B．Oliveira owes his long life to his mother&s help
C．being fit in old age is a matter of luck and character
D．social skills and wisdom are difficult for the senior
52．How many centenarians are mentioned in this passage?
A．4 B．5 C．6 D．7
53．By saying &Should I just sit at home and
wait until they come and pick me up?& in Paragraph 5, Heesters
shows us he ________．
A．wants to sit or lie in comfort B．is waiting for people to pick
C．is willing to work till he dies D．prefers to give performance
54．In the passage so many examples were given to show
________．
A．old age is a big problem if you want to succeed
B．as a senior citizen, you have to be open-minded and
optimistic
C．old people should never think of themselves as old
D．old age can not prevent a great person from achieving a
55．In the writer&s opinion, the architect Oscar Niemeyer is not
________．
A．sympathy B．pessimistic C．positive D．diligent
Joe came to New York from the Middle West, dreaming about painting．Delia came to New York from the South, dreaming about music．Joe and Delia met in a studio．Before long they were good friends and got married．
They had only a small flat to live in , but they were happy．They loved each other, and they were both interested in art．Everything was fine until one day they found they had spent all their money．
Delia decided to give music lessons．One afternoon she said to her husband:

&Joe, you are silly,& said Delia．&You must keep at your studies．We can live quite happily on $15 a week．&
&Well, perhaps I can sell some of my pictures,& said Joe．
Every day they parted in the morning and met in the evening．A week passed and Delia brought home fifteen dollars, but she looked a little tired．
&Clementina sometimes gets on my nerves．I&m afraid she doesn&t practice enough．But the general is the best old man! I wish you could know him, Joe．&

Next week Joe came home and put another eighteen dollars on the table．In half an hour Delia came, her right hand in a bandage．
&What&s the matter with your hand?& said Joe．Delia laughed and said:
&Oh, a funny thing happened! Clemantina gave me a plate of soup and spilled some of it on my hand．She was very sorry for it．And so was the old general．But why are you looking at me like that, Joe?&
&What time this afternoon did you burn your hand, Delia?&
&Five o&clock, I think．The iron-I mean the soup-was ready about five, Why?&
&Delia, come and sit here,& said Joe．He drew her to the couch and sat beside her．
&What do you do every day, Delia? Do you really give music lesson? Tell me the truth．&
She began to cry．
&I couldn&t get any pupils,& she said, &So I got a place in a laundry ironing shirts．This afternoon a girl accidentally set down an iron on my hand and I got a bad burn．But tell me, Joe, how did you guess that I wasn&t giving music lessons?&
&It&s very simple,& said Joe．&I knew all about your bandages because I had to send them upstairs to a girl in the laundry who had an accident with a hot iron．You see, I work in the engine-room of the same laundry where you work．&
&And your pictures? Did you sell any to that man from Peoria?&
&Well, your general with his Clemantina is an invention, and so is my man from Peoria．&
And then they both laughed．
56．To support the family, Delia worked as ________．

61. A Family Comes Back Home after Seven Years at Sea.
62. Floating Hotel Could Resist Rising Sea Levels.
63. Three Teenagers Found Alive after 50 Days Adrift in the
64. Future City Will Be a Boat Floating Safely at Sea.
65. Lovely Bear Says Hello to Cruise Ship with a Friendly
The three Samoan teenagers who had survived fifty days all alone
at the Pacific Ocean in a small boat and had given up all their
hope, have now been found alive miraculously. The youths, two aged
15 and one aged 14, had disappeared in a tiny boat and were assumed
to have died after unsuccessful searches in the vast ocean by the
New Zealand air force and even the memorial service in their honor
was held. But who knew the miracles of God?
It&s like something straight out of a James Bond film & but a
British firm believes this floating building could be the future of
life at sea. With 11 accommodation decks, a 360-degree observation
area, its own dock, several swimming pools and as much space as a
cruise liner, it&s not so much a boat as a city. The boat is
designed to float on four platforms, each with thrusters（推进器）to
keep the whole boat island stable, even in the extreme seas.
While most of us will love to go on a vacation for a week or two
on a small yacht, there is no doubt about the fact that spending
seven precious years on sea is something which most of us will
never imagine or dare to do. However, that is what an American
family has done. Tom Crafton and Kathy Crafton along with their
three children have traveled across the world on their 43-foot
sailboat. Over the past seven years the family had sailed 30,000
miles and visited more than 20 different countries. The family has
recently come back to their homeland.
During a cruise through Svalbard in the Arctic, Swedish
photographer Hans snapped a fame-hungry bear as he came out to pose
for the excited crowd. Hans was on board the ship just taking in
the view when he suddenly saw a head pop up from behind the ice
about 15 yards away. The bear was yawning and seemed to be enjoying
all the attention and walked over to the crowd. It waved twice.
When it lifted his hand and waved again, Hans managed to capture
The rising sea waters caused by global warming have inspired a
Russian architect to design a hotel that could be built on water as
well as land. It&s called &The Ark&, but looks more like a ship
sitting upside down on the water. A new design by Russian architect
Alexander Remizov challenges the tradition of land-based hotel and
would provide a shelter in the future ---- should the world face a
modern-day flood of Biblical proportions.
Bora Bora is the most beautiful island in the world. It&s so
unbelievably attractive and so often used in pictorials as the
perfect example of exotic islands, that some question its
existence. But rest assured, this volcanic island with a
palm-fringed coral reef that forms a small area of water so crystal
clear that the Caribbean looks cloudy by comparison is very real
and very achievable to world travelers and island lovers.

I was real sad when I found my bicycle went wrong again. Tired
of repairing it again
and again, I decided buy a new one. After school, I went to a
shop locating in the
center of the city with a friend called Jack. The black bicycle
attracted my eyes as
soon as we went into the store. It looked so cool that I could
hardly wait to ride it. The
shopkeepers told us that it was the latest bicycle. He wanted to
charge me for 800 yuan,
that was too high for me. I just couldn&t afford such an
expensive one. Then I choose
another one, which cost him only 200 yuan. It was not so
it was much better than the old one.

Conflicts with others are common in everyday life. During the
basketball game yesterday
afternoon, Su Hua and Li Jiang bumped into each other, trying to
catch the ball. Then they started shouting and yelling, and it
turned into a horrible quarrel.
To be honest, it was Su&s fault but Li was also to blame&they
were not calm enough and both said some really mean things. They
cared too much about winning and losing. As a matter of fact,
blocking, pushing and bumping are just part of a tough game.
To avoid such conflicts, we should be kind to one another, which
is essential to enjoying a harmonious life. It is also a virtue to
forgive and forget, especially in such a competitive and stressful
society. Instead of blaming each other, we should communicate more
and put ourselves in others& place.
Don&t be self-centered and try to be considerate. We must learn
to handle conflicts calmly and wisely.
