第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分)
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
When I recall my experiences of feeling hard and deeply understood by someone, I k now how much the experience helped me to cope with whatever I was dealing with at the time. Caring people who I have turned to in difficult times helped me the most by listening and asking about my feelings.
During one of my volunteer jobs at a local HIV and Cancer clinic，I found the helpfulness of empathic（感情移入的）listening. As a volunteer I was providing emotional support to people with health related problems. Empathic listening really made a difference on how patients felt about their health problems. By sharing about their pain and suffering and my willingness to listen they felt less alone.
We can make life easier for each other by becoming a better listener and encourage each other to share about our feelings. We can become a better listener by avoid giving advice and trying to solve problems unless we are asked to do so. Pressuring others to solve their life problems “our ways” is not helpful. Most people intuitively (凭直觉地)know how to solve their own problems. As a listener it's important to be patient and not interrupt the speaker. Let them know it's OK to talk about their feelings and support t hem in feeling their feelings.
When one does not share nor reach out for support, he or she can remain a lonely mystery. Life can feel lonely when one keeps everything inside. Feeling alone with life problems can feel worse than the problem itself. When we let a caring person listen to our life struggle, we no longer feel alone with our struggle. Don't be afraid asking your loved ones to take time and hear you out. Sometimes you have to ask for it. People cannot read your mind. Confiding in (trust) others can have
a positive effect on our mood.
21. What made the author comfortable in difficult times?
A. Persuading.
B. Sharing.
C. Apologizing.
D. Complaining.
22. According to the second paragraph, we can know that________.
A. the patients enjoyed listening to the author
B. the author was really very kind and honest
C. the patients got on well with the author
D. the author did a good job at a Cancer clinic.
23. If someone falls in feeling problems, you'd better________.
A. listen to him/her patiently.
B. give him/her some practical advice.
C. let out your bad feelings on him/her.
D. present your opinion on the problem.
24. What's the main idea of this passage?
A. Listening and sharing can make you happier.
B. The author would like to listen to others.
C. It is wrong to give advice to solve problems.
D. You should be confident in front of other people.
B
Alibaba started taking the lead in China, simply enough, by connecting big Chinese manufacturers(制造商)with big buyers across the world. Its business-to-business site, allowed business to buy almost everything. Alibaba’s advantage wasn’t hard to identify: size. Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards. Its marketplaces attract 231 million active buyers, 8 million sellers, 11.3 billion orders a year—and Alibaba is just the middleman. It encourages people to use its markets—not charging small sellers a percentage of the sale.
If you want a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life, take my experience.
I moved to Beijing almost a year ago and quick ly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded, polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics, bathroom furnishings, and anything else my wife wanted. “You’re looking for what exactly? Why not try it? ” my Chinese teacher asked me one day. With that, my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began.
Alibaba’s original business-to-business model now is secondary to consumer buying. Chinese retail（零售）buying makes up 80% of Alibaba’s profit, and leading that group is Taobao, with 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable select io n of things you’ll ever find. is Alibaba’s other big site, where you can find brand name goods from Nike and Unilever near the lowest prices.
What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U.S. is how China has gone beyond traditional shopping—big-box retailers especially —in favor of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites. In smaller towns than Beijing, where big retailers have not yet traveled, shopping online is shopping, and shopping is Taobao.
I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how extensive the marketplace is. Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping. I’m not even a big buyer, because I need friends to help me search the Chinese-language site. When I was
searching my purchase history on my Chinese teacher’s iPad, which helps me buy goods, I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.
25. Alibaba’s advantage mainly lies in ___________.
A. its big size
B. its business-to-business service
C. its not charging small sellers
D. its low price
26. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in the passage?
A. Alibaba is of middle size among all the online sites
B. Alibaba will continue to develop.
C. Alibaba stands out as the best online site.
D. Alibaba acts as a bridge between the buyers and sellers.
27. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The author’s Chinese teacher is also an online purchase lover.
B. Taobao has no obvious advantage over other similar online sites.
C. Alibaba’s business-to-business service earns more money than retail now.
D. provides more profit than Taobao.
C

A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.
A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.
Men often discover their affinity (密切关系) to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. There is an old proverb, “Love me, love my dog.”But there is more wisdom in this: “Love me, love my book.”The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.
A good book is often the best urn(瓮) of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a man’s life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good
words, the golden thoughts, which, if remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters.
Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s min ds ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effects of time have been to filter out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.
32. A good book may be among the best of friends because_____.
A. it changes over the past of time
B. it contains all kinds of knowledge
C. it doesn’t betray us when we are in trouble
D. it comforts us in youth and instructs us in age
33. “Love me, love my book” in paragraph 3 probably means _______?
A. If you love me, you must reading books.
B. The book can be a bond between friends.
C. I love books as much I love friends.
D. If you love the author, you will love his books.
34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Time can tell whether a literature is good or bad.
B. All books are our constant companions and comforters.
C. Temples, statues and books cannot stand the test of time.
D. The world of a man’s thoughts is what his life is all about.
35. The best title for this passage can be .
A. Reading Books
B. A Good Book
C. Our Best Friend
D. Companionship of Books

Are you new to experiencing relationships? Well, let me give you advice on how to have a healthy relationship with your partners.
（1）Be an honest person with them. Don't hide things from them, and don't lie. Don't be afraid to say things that aren't very flattering about yourself. Getting them to trust you is the most important element in any relationship. If there's no trust, there's nothing there. 36

（3) Make sure you are encouraging to your partners. Always be willing to help them and give them honesty and positive at the time. Make them feel you are someone they can really count on and build a future with. 38
（4) Make sure you' have a good sense of humor with them. Laughter is the key to happiness. Laugh a lot with them，and joke with them. Laughter may seem silly, but it's the secret to a lot in life. It will keep the sparks alive. 39
（5) Make sure the communication is good. This usually goes along with trust，so always communicate how you feel even if it's something that upsets you 40 If they did something that made you unhappy, tell them about it in a respectful manner.
