第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节：阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。（每小题2分，共30分）
A
When a dirty and untidy orange cat showed up in the prison yard, I was one of the first to go out there and pet it. I hadn't touched a cat or a dog in over 20 years. I spent at least 20 minutes, knelt down behind the kitchen as the cat rolled around, relaxed. It was an amazing bit of grace to feel him under my hand and note that I was reaching a life or another creature with something as simple as my care.
Over the next few days, there were other prisoners responding to the cat. Every yard period, a group of prisoners gathered there. They stood around talking and taking turns petting the cat. These were guys you wouldn't usually find talking to each other. Several times I saw an officer in the group, not chasing people away, but just watching and seeming to enjoy along with the prisoners. Bowls of milk and water appeared along with bread, wisely placed under the edge of the dustbin to keep the birds from getting it.
The cat was obviously homeless and in pretty bad shape. People said that the cat came to the right place. He's getting treated like a king. This was true, but as I watched I was also thinking about what the cat was doing for us. There was a lot of talk about what's wrong with prisons in America. We need more programs. We need more psychologists or treatment of various kinds. Some may even talk about making prisons more kind. But I think what we really
need is a chance to practise our own kindness. Not receive it, but give it. After more than two decades here, I know kindness is not a value that's encouraged. It's often seen as a weakness.
Instead, the culture encourages keeping your head down, minding your own business, and never letting yourself be weak.
The cat did my heart good to see the effect he had on me and the men here. By simply saying, "I need some help here", he did something important for us. He needed us. And we needed to be needed. I believe we all do.
21. From the passage, we can learn that the author was .
A. an animal protector B. the cat's owner
C. a prison officer D. a prisoner
22. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The cat was dirty because it was kept in prison.
B. The officer in the prison enjoyed petting the cat.

23. We can infer from the third paragraph that .
A. showing love to others can make prisoners strong
B. the American prison culture will be improved
C. the author is not content with the prison culture
D. caring for others is encouraged in American prisons
24. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Caring Makes Us Human. B. Prison Culture Is Important.
C. Animals Need Care. D. Everyone Needs to Be Cared for.

About a dozen parents have been sentenced for their children's truancy( 旷课 ) this year and some have gone for jail (监狱)for the crime, the Baltimore Sun's Erica Green reports.
Green describes Barbara Gaskins, who spent 10 days in jail after her 15-year-old son missed the overwhelming majority(压倒多数的 ) of school days this year. She says she dropped him off at the bus stop each morning and taught him the importance of education. She was worried about finding childcare for her four young children while serving the time.
"We're dealing with less than l percent of students and parents, and certainly this is one of the toughest decisions we have," Jonathan Brice, who is in charge of the school district's truancy office, told Green. "But it's critical that we get those parents' and young people's attention about the seriousness of being in school." Education experts, however, were less confident that cracking down on parents would lift attendance.
The school system's court liaison Alfred Barbour told the paper that no parents served jail time last year—and that only three did in 2009. Hundreds of them are recorded each year for truancy however, and charges are filed after a student misses 15 days. For parents to be convicted( 宣告……有罪), the school has to prove they knew their child wasn't attending school.
California's new strict anti-truancy bill took effect at the beginning of this year. Parents can serve up to a year in jail if convicted of allowing their children to skip class. Florida and Texas already have similar laws on the books. And one Michigan prosecutor(检察官 ) wants an ordinance passed to send parents who miss parent-teacher conferences to jail for three days a pop.
29. Why did Barbara Gaskins was sentenced?
A. Because she had five children.
B. Because she wasn't a good mother.
C. Because she didn't know her son's truancy.
D. Because her son missed over 15 days and she knew it.
30. The underlined phrase "cracking down on" means “ ”.
A. dealing with B. paying attention to C. agreeing with D. slipping up(出错)
31. The main idea of the last paragraph is
A. Baltimore sends parents to jail for truant kids
B. parents should attend parent-teacher conferences on time
C. many states don't attach importance to the school education
D. punishing parental laziness has had something of a nationwide movement lately
D
Warning: reading too much Cinderella to your daughter may damage her emotional health in later life. A paper to be developed at the international congress of cognitive psychotherapy ( 认知心理疗法 ) in Gothenburg suggests a link between the attitudes of women abused(虐待 ) by their parents and early exposure to the wrong sort of fairy tales. It says girls who are identified with Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to stay in destructive relationships as adults.
Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby, developed the theory. She interviewed 67 female abused survivors and found that 61 put up with serial abuse because they believed they could change their partners with patience, composition and love. Hardly any of the women in a control group, who had not experience abuse, thought they could change their partners in this way.
The same view was taken by male survivors who had been abused as children. These women and men said they would leave a relationship rather than put up with abuse from a partner. Ms Darker Smith found the abused women were much more likely to identify with Cinderella and other submissive (顺从的)female characters in fairy tales, who were later rescued（拯救）by a stranger, prince or hero.
Although most girls heard the stories, damage appeared to be done to those who adopted the submissive characters as role models. "They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their parents' behaviors," she said. Overexposure in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women believe they can damage their partners. "For example, they might never have understood the obvious flaw (缺点) in the story of Rapunzel, who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a white horse, who broke the door down." "The question," said Ms Darker Smith, "is why she did not break the door down herself."
32. The passage is especially intended for
A. parents with young daughters B. girls who like reading fairy stories
C. girls who think they can change their partners D. parents with grown-up daughters
33. Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast are similar in that .
A. they all married some princes
B. they all changed their partners with love
C. they were all abused by their partners
D. they all put up with abuse
34. Which of the following statements is TRUE of the women in a control group?
A. They don't believe in fairy tales.
B. They don't believe in the transformational qualities of love.
C. They have also experienced abuse.
D. They survived abuse.
35. With the last sentence of the passage, Ms Darker Smith intends to .
A. give a warning B. make a conclusion
C. make a suggestion D. raise a question

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出正确的填入空白处。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Some people never master the art of being patient, and at times, all of us struggle with being patient. Sometimes a certain situation or a certain person just pushes our buttons, making it much more difficult for us to remain patient. 36 It becomes harder to concentrate, and it becomes harder to be polite to other people.
37 No one is born to be patient." As you learn and grow and experience things in life, you become wiser and learn how to interact with difficult kinds of people.
38 This is normal, as you have never had the experience of working in an office before. At first, it might be difficult to understand your job. You might even lose patience, but over time you'll be able to interact with other people with more confidence and patience. Someone at work disagrees with you, and it might make you become anxious. 39 You'll be less likely to become bothered when presented with different situations. Though it might be difficult, you should try to be patient in life. This will help you in nearly all situations. 40 Age doesn't always mean that someone is wise, and wisdom doesn't always mean that someone is patient, though the two often go hand in hand.
A. You must keep in mind that patience comes with experience and wisdom.
B. Once you lose patience, things tend to go wrong.
C. Learning to be patient takes time and it takes patience to learn to be patient.
D. Patience is acquired（获得） as you acquire wisdom, and wisdom is the child of experience.
E. However, with experience, you'll learn how to present your opinions clearly.
F. The more patience you have, the better you'll cope（应付） in various situations.
G. For example, you start your first job in a big office, and you really don’t know how to work with lots of people.
