第二部分:阅读理解(共 20 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 40 分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
The city of Rome has passed a new to prevent cruelty to animals. All goldfish
bowls are no longer allowed and dog owners must walk their dogs.
This comes after a national law was passed to give prison sentences to people
who desert cats or dogs.
“The civilization of a city can be measured by this,” said Monica Carina,
the councilor (议员) behind the new law.
“It’s good to do whatever we can for our animals who in exchange for a little
love fill our existence with their attention,” she told a Rome newspaper.
The newspaper reported that round bowls don’t give enough oxygen for fish and
may make them go blind.
“Rome has tried to protect fish more than anywhere else in the world .It stands
out for recognizing that fish are interesting animals who deserve(值得)over respect
and compassion
every bit as much as dogs and cats and other animals,” said Karin
Robertson, a director of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
Last year a law was passed in Italy that gives people who desert pets big fines
(罚款)and prison sentences. Since then local governments have added their own
animal protection rules.
The northern city of Turin passed a law in April to give pet owners fines of
up to $598 if they do not walk their dogs three times a day.
The new law in Rome also says that owners mustn’t leave their dogs in hot cars
or cut their dogs’ tails to make them look lovelies. The law also gives legal
recognition to the “cat ladies” who feed homeless cats.The cats live all over the
city from ancient ruins to modern office car parks.
36. The new law passed in Rome will _____
A.help improve fishing environment
B.guarantee better conditions for goldfish
C.stop people from catching goldfish
D.discourage keeping goldfish at home
38.The underlined word “compassion” in Paragraph 6 is the closest in meaning to
____
A.pity
B.praise
C.support
D.popularity
39.People may break the law in Turin if they _____
A.keep their dogs or cats in cars
B.feed homeless animals in car parks
C.raise their cats near ancient ruins
D.shut their dogs home all day long

I recently turned fifty,which is young for a tree,midlife for an elephant ,and
ancient for a sportsman,Fifty is a nice number for the states in the US or for a
national speed limit but it is not a number that I was prepared to have hung on
me.Fifty is supposed to be my father`s age.but now I am stuck with this number and
everything it means.
A few days ago,a friend
tried to cheer me up by saying, “ Fifty is what forty
used to be .”He had made an inspirational point ,Am I over the hill ?People keep
telling me that the hill has been moved,and I keep telling them that he high-jump
bar has dropped from the six feet I once easily cleared to the four feet that is
impossible for me now.
“ Your are not getting older,you are getting better .” says Dr.Joyce
Brothers .This ,however,is the kind of doctor who inspires a second opinion.
And so .as I approach the day when I cannot even jump over the tennis net.I am
moves to share some thoughts on aging with you. I am moved to show how aging feels
to me physically and mentally.Getting older.of course,is obviously a better change
than the one that brings you eulogies(悼词).In fact ,a poet named Robert Browning
considered it the best change of all :
Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to me.
Whether or not Browning was right ,most of my first fifty years have been golden
ones,so I will settle for what is ahead being as good as what has gone by.I find
myself moving toward what is ahead with a curious bleng( 混合) of both fighting and
accepting my aging, hoping that the philosopher(哲学家) was right when he said .”Old
tried to comfort him
got inspiration with him
is always fifteen years from now.”

Insight
According
Meditation
in
Barre,Massachusetts. Three months of training in this kind of meditation causes a
market change in how the brain allocates(分配) attention. It appears that the ability
to let go thoughts that come into mind frees the brain to attend to more rapidly
changing things and events in the outside world.Expert mediators are better than
other people at catching such fast-changing stimuli( 刺激),like facial expressions.
The study provides evidence for changes in the workings of the brain with
mental training.People can learn and improve abilities of all sorts with practice.
everything from driving to playing the piano. The study has shown that meditation
is good for the brain ,It appears to reduce pressure and promote a sense of
well-being.
In an experiment ,17 volunteers with no meditation experience in the
experimental group spent three months meditating 10 to 12 hours a day .A control
group also with no meditation experience meditated for 20 minutes a day over the
same period .Both groups were then given the tests with two numbers in a group of
letters.As both group looked for the numbers ,their brain activitity was recorded.
recordings showed that
the less experienced mediators tended to grasp the first number and hang onto it ,so
they missed the second number .Those with more experience gave less attention to
the first number .as if letting it go ,which led to an increased ability to grasp
Everyone could catch the first number .But the brain
the second number ,This shows that attention can change with practice.
Just ask Daniel Levision ,who meditated for three months as part of the
study .”I am a much better listener,” he said . “ I do not get lost in my own
personal reaction to what people are saying.”
48.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refers to
D thoughts
C people
B minds
A
feelings
49. Meditations manage their daily tasks better because they
A
B
C
D

50. In the experiment ,volunteers doing meditation for longer hours
A
were more likely to catch both of the members
B
were used to memorizing numbers in groups
C. usually ignored the first number observed
D paid more attention to numbers than to letters
51. The study proves that
A meditation improves one’s health
B brain activity can be recorded
C human attention can be trained
D mediators have a good sense of hearing

When we think of leadership ,we often think of strength and power .But what
are these really ,and how do they operate?
Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things ,If this is even
possible .it is short-term ,and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do
something against their will. they may do it because they feel they must ,but the
anger they feel will do more harm in the long-term ,They will also experience fear.
Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down ,making the person unable to function
at his or her best .If they associate you with this emotion of fear. They will become
less functional around you ,and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself
in the foot .but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform
effectively .Fear has no place in leadership.
The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our
understanding and use of emotion .We can order someone to do something ,which may
be part of the work day; or we can employ them at the emotional level ,so they became
fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation(积极性)。
Today’s work place is all about relationships
as a human being as well as a worker .Everyone produces just a bit more for someone
they like .Leaders understand the way things work .They know the pay check is not
the single most motivating factor (因素) in the work life of most people.
The true strength of leadership
is an inner strength that comes from the
confidence of emotional intelligence---knowing your own emotions , and how to handle
them ,and those of others . Developing your emotional intelligence is the single
best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around
you ,which is the key to the leadership skills .
